I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 385 Goodbye Xiyue

Tianyan City.

Xiyue has been out of seclusion for some time, and today she retrieved the elixirs needed for Yu Lingchun's healing from the main peak. On the way back, she saw Ximen He practicing sword training in a dojo, and he couldn't help but think of the Canglan Grassland group.

When Chen Ping asked her for advice on the sword cultivator Law Treasure, she was not a sword cultivator herself. She recommended Ximen He to Chen Ping twice.

It is said that Ximen He is very accomplished in sword cultivation.

But then Chen Ping's performance on Sword Intent was beyond her expectation.

Obviously, it has far surpassed Ximen He's sword-making skills when he was still in the early days of Gold Core.

I originally wanted to use Ximen He's hand to attack Chen Ping's arrogance, but now it seems that I have miscalculated.

Thinking of this, Ximen He, who originally seemed quite pleasing to the eye, became less pleasing to the eye.

"Good morning, Uncle Master." When Ximen He saw Xiyue passing by, as a junior, he quickly stood up to say hello.

Only then did Xiyue catch a glimpse of Ximen He who was not concentrating on sword mastering. She was immediately furious and slapped another magic slap from the air:

"Why is it so early? Is it still early for you to take a look at the sky for yourself? How many times have I told you to focus on Wu Jian, don't look around, and don't be affected by people passing by. Why don't you know how to work harder?"

Ximen He:......

Confused.

I took a spell early in the morning.

"Uncle, you've gone too far. How did this junior offend you? You hit me all morning." Ximen He protested loudly.

"What? Do you still need a reason to stop talking? I'm telling you, I'll give you five days to deal with the matter, and then go to Guanjian Pavilion to retreat for a year to concentrate on sword mastery. If your Sword Intent doesn't improve, don't get out."

Ximen He suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning:

"Uncle Master, this junior has only been out of Guanjian Pavilion for less than a month..."

"Two years."

Ximen He:......

Ximen He immediately shut up.

This uncle likes to convince people with reason, but his force is so superior that the leader can't even survive a few moves under him.

But Ximen He was very depressed.

Really speechless.

I don’t know where I offended Xiyue.

He obviously didn't do anything.

Chen Ping didn't know what it meant to have abundant spiritual energy until he reached the ninth peak.

The Ninth Peak is the most aura-rich affiliated peak of Tianyan Sect, and also the peak with the smallest number of people. Except for Xiyue's less than ten registered disciples and a few handymen, no one else disturbs it.

Unfortunately, when Chen Ping arrived, Yu Lingchun had just completed her latest treatment and was still in retreat at the Cave Mansion and could not go out.

It will take a few days to go out.

Chen Ping gave priority to meeting Master Xiyue.

After not seeing each other for eight years, Xiyue is no different from when she first came back from Canglan Grassland.

"I heard that Master was attacked by a demon cultivator a few years ago. Has he recovered?" Chen Ping asked with concern.

Xiyue glanced at her:

"You also know that it was a few years ago, that was 6 years ago. Really, even if I have a mount, I know how to care about Master better than you. The mount will wag its tail when it knows that I am injured."

Chen Ping:……

Is there any analogy like this for you?

Chen Ping finally understood that the master disliked him for having neither a tail nor being able to ride.

"Master was joking. When my disciple heard about this for the first time, he couldn't wait to send a letter to Master. He learned that Master had gone into seclusion and thought that he wouldn't be able to see him if he came, so he postponed his arrival until today." Chen Ping laughed sarcastically. Without giving Xiyue a chance to use the topic, she asked instead:

"The person who attacked Master shouldn't be a demon cultivator, right?"

When it comes to this topic, Xiyue also becomes serious.

It turns out that just as Chen Ping thought, it was indeed Demon Race.

Both Nascent Soul monks are Demon Race.

And Xiyue is indeed fishing for law enforcement.

It's a pity that Demon Race is not stupid. After taking the bait, he tried briefly and prepared sufficient means of retreat, but he did not fall into the hands of Xiyue and others.

Xiyue's seclusion over the years was not purely for healing, but for going through a small catastrophe at the same time, so it took several years.

"What's the situation like at Demon Race now?" Chen Ping was a little worried about the situation.

Xiyue's eyes are unwavering:

"What is certain is that Demon Race still cannot enter the human world in large numbers. They should be gradually hoarding monks to enter the human world, mainly Gold Core and Nascent Soul, and it is not ruled out that there will be a few Foundation Building..."

But this method, Demon Race, cannot initiate a war between humans and demons. There are not enough people to cover the entire human world.

Only local battles can be started.

Therefore, Demon Race needs to constantly kill the imprisoned donors in order to completely open the imprisonment.

In addition, Xiyue also speculated that Demon Race's plan may not be just as simple and crude, but may have other ideas, such as polluting a continent and turning it into a purgatory, thereby providing natural conditions for Demon Race to hide and even establish a base.

Of course, these are all speculations by Xiyue and others.

"In principle, the more desolate a place is, the more likely it is that it will be a breakthrough point for the Demon Race. However, there are exceptions to everything, and the Demon Race is also likely to do the opposite. So everyone is currently panic-stricken. All continents are Be alert." Xiyue said.

This is the hardest part.

The human world is vast and boundless, and there are as many uninhabited areas as there are.

Trying to find out the Demon Race hidden in such a vast Immortal Cultivation World is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and you can imagine how difficult it is.

Belonging is my openness versus darkness.

This is going to be hard.

"Why not make Demon Race's invasion of the human world completely public? It's much better to work together than just a few of you to figure it out." Chen Ping wondered.

"It's ready to be made public." Xiyue nodded:

"Before, it was not sure whether there were only a few Demon Race invasions or whether they were increasing. I didn't want to cause all the monks to panic too much, which would allow those who were interested to take advantage of them. But now Demon Race has appeared more and more frequently in the eyes of the public. , it is no longer necessary to hide it, and it cannot be concealed."

"Once the Demon Race enters the human world is made public, there will be an uproar in the human world. After all, the last time this happened was a thousand years ago. If you want to protect yourself, you have to become stronger. Gold Core is really too weak in the early stage."

Of course Chen Ping knows.

Once the news is made public, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, realize their ambitions in the name of slaying demons, or make a fortune.

Demon Race may no longer be sneaky, and may unscrupulously kill all the human monks he encounters. After all, he no longer has to worry about being exposed.

It might even instigate some human monks to rebel.

The mainland may once again enter a period of chaos.

Seeing Chen Ping's worry, Xiyue said in relief:

"But you don't need to worry too much. Even if a war of a certain scale is to occur, it will only happen after the Demon Race has accumulated a certain number of people. This will be at least decades later."

"Of course, we don't rule out that once the devil's cave is discovered, we and other high-level monks will be called together to kill the devil and start a small-scale war."

"In addition, currently Demon Race has been discovered most in the Southern Smoke Continent and the Yuehua Continent. Try not to go to these two continents."

Chen Ping silently took note of Master's reminder.

It seems that war is inevitable, so we must seize the time to improve our strength.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping asked:

"Master, I wonder if my disciple can be lucky enough to get the books on Body Refining and formations mentioned in the previous letter from Master?"

Although you can make fun of me when you write a letter, you can also tease your master when you are at the same level in Canglan Grassland. But when Xiyue regained her strength and faced each other, Chen Ping still respected her teacher.

He himself is a person who respects teachers.

Xiyue threw a small storage bag to Chen Ping:

"Senior Sister Guan got a very good set of Body Refining Techniques a few years ago. You went to ask for it, but I didn't prepare any extra Body Refining Techniques for you. The formations are all in the storage bag."

Chen Ping quickly thanked him.

It’s better to have a master.

If this were still an Independent Cultivator, he would have to take various risks and attend various auctions, and he might not be able to find what he likes.

Next, Chen Ping continued to ask Xiyue some questions that he was confused about.

Regarding the broken arm and the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, Xiyue also provided the information he learned.

Broken Arm chose to enter the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword because it sensed the familiar Sword Intent, and its own nourishment also required sufficient Sword Intent.

The moment it entered the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, it had actually chosen to become a sword spirit.

Become a part of this soul-killing ancient treasure.

Xiyue had known this information before, and this time she came back to check out the rumors she had heard before, confirmed it, and finally understood why this severed arm was willing to become part of the ancient treasure.

That is, in the ancient skills, there is a way to ensure that the weapon spirit transformed from the living being can, after its strength is restored, escape from the ancient treasure through a special method and regain freedom.

Obviously Broken Arm knows this secret method.

This is the reason why Broken Arm did this.

"In other words, there will be no harm in continuing to use this sword now?" Chen Ping asked.

Chen Ping did not mention that there was a surging Sword Intent in the ancient sword.

He didn't mention that there was another universe in the sword, or even a sword technique.

Not to mention that he can enter the universe in the sword with his spiritual consciousness, and can use the Sword Intent. He can clearly see the broken arm floating above the Sword Intent Avenue.

Xiyue nodded slightly:

"No. Since it is already a weapon spirit, it has shared weal and woe with you. The stronger your Sword Intent is, the better it can nourish itself."

"But you have to think carefully whether you choose to use this sword as your natal Law Treasure, because once it becomes your natal Law Treasure, when the weapon spirit is separated from the ancient sword, the ancient sword will become a soul-killing ancient treasure again, and you have to do it all over again. Cultivate another weapon spirit."

"Of course, this will happen in the future. If your cultivation level cannot reach Soul Formation, I'm afraid you won't be able to worry about these things."

Chen Ping understands.

In other words, the Sword Intent and Sword Technique in the Seven Stars Longyuan Sword can still be used.

From this point alone, Chen Ping is very satisfied.

As for the natal Law Treasure, it can only be cultivated in the mid-term, and we will talk about it later.

Chen Ping thought of the sound of a broken arm in the underground palace at the mysterious ruins of Canglan Grassland, and asked:

"Master, have you ever found out who Zhao Changxing is?"

Everyone heard the question raised by the severed arm in the underground palace.

Chen Ping once asked Xiyue, but Xiyue didn't know who Zhao Changxing was at that time.

Unfortunately, Xiyue still doesn’t know at this moment:

"I have checked all the ancient books of the Tianyan Sect, and I have also gone to some other sects to check the relevant books. For thousands of years, there has been no such person as Zhao Changxing."

"There is no such person?" Chen Ping couldn't help but interrupt.

"Well. This is exactly what I am confused about. It stands to reason that the strength shown by Broken Arm is extraordinary. The lowest cultivation level may be Soul Formation Late Stage, or even a senior who has already Ascension. How can such strength be achieved? Maybe there is no trace left in the human world? Unless..."

"Unless what?" Chen Ping couldn't help but interrupt again.

"Unless he does not come from the human world and has nothing to do with the human world. He comes from other interfaces, maybe even the upper world. But this is also strange. The three characters 'Zhao Changxing' are clearly the name of the human race."

"But one thing is certain. After the last war between humans and demons, many rules in the world have undergone tremendous changes. Since this severed arm can become a weapon spirit in the ancient treasure in the form of a living being, it itself can only be an artifact of the ancient treasure. The monks from thousands of years ago, the monks before the war between humans and demons, and Zhao Changxing can also only be the monks from thousands of years ago."

Chen Ping felt his head was heavy for a moment.

If it is true as Xiyue said, this broken arm may even come from the upper world, then the people who arranged these imprisonments in the first place are so terrifying that they can actually imprison the creatures of the upper world in the imprisonment.

I wonder if it comes from Beast World?

Ask Bai Liye when the time comes.

If Bailiye doesn't know the situation, then he can only wait until Broken Arm becomes stronger and see if it can recall some effective information.

Chen Ping continued to ask about another question - the broken arm had no demonic energy at all, and was obviously not a demon ancestor. Xiyue had also sensed this at close range. But she herself made it clear that the body of the Demon Ancestor was needed to imprison the Demon World passage.

Unfortunately, Xiyue still doesn't know.

After chatting for a while, Chen Ping gave the unknown wine he brought this time to his master.

"Only ten pots? You still have some in your storage bag, right? Give me some more." Xiyue was extremely dissatisfied with Chen Ping's digging and searching behavior.

"This storage bag is gone, you see. In the past few years, I have been trying to improve the quality of unknown wine, but I haven't brewed too much." Chen Ping shook the storage bag.

This storage bag is indeed gone.

Other storage bags are also available.

In fact, this time a large amount of unknown wine was brought.

Hundreds of pots, enough for Xiyue to drink for decades.

The spiritual materials accumulated over the past few decades were all brewed into nameless wine in the past eight years.

But it definitely can't be given to Xiyue in one go. According to her habits, she can drink it all in one go.

Of course, it is a fact that the quality of unnamed wine has improved. When Xiyue asked him to go to the wild forest to explore the ruins of the Great Power, the purpose was to improve the efficacy of the unknown wine. It can be seen that Xiyue has extremely high requirements for the quality of this wine, which is related to the repair of her Primordial Spirit.

Unfortunately, she failed that time and her life was in danger. Xiyue was embarrassed to make another request to go to the wild forest.

But Chen Ping remembered it.

Therefore, we continue to improve the quality of unnamed wine.

Seeing that Xiyue was so angry at this moment, Chen Ping didn't stay any longer, found an excuse, and hurriedly slipped out.

It would take several days for Yu Lingchun to leave the customs and she would still have to stay here for a few days. Chen Ping was not in a hurry to throw out all the problems.

…

"Come out? After chatting for so long, it seems that Master is in a good mood?" Seeing Chen Ping coming out of the main palace, Senior Sister Guan immediately greeted him and stretched her neck to look into the main palace.

"Very good, what's wrong?" Chen Ping was confused.

"It's nothing. Master asked me to take junior brother to visit Tianyan Sect. Junior brother, wait a minute. Senior sister has something to do with Master first and will come out immediately." Senior Sister Guan said.

After saying that, he entered the main palace with cheerful steps.

Senior Sister Guan is a very smart person.

She knows how to read and observe, and knows that whenever the master is in a good mood, her requests will be well satisfied.

Even if it’s some tricky requests that I wouldn’t dare to mention on a daily basis.

This was the first time Xiyue's new disciple came to visit her, and she concluded that the master must be in a good mood.

After a while, Senior Sister Guan came out with a dark face.

"Senior Sister Guan, you..." Chen Ping didn't know what she was doing and why she was so gray.

"It's nothing. Let's go. Senior Sister will show you about Tianyan Sect." Senior Sister Guan walked forward stiffly with a slumped face.

Chen Ping:……

After calling Yun Lingshan in the living room, the two of them followed Senior Sister Guan around the Ninth Peak and the main peak of Lingxiao Sect, and became familiar with the general situation here.

During this period, I got the Body Refining Technique from Senior Sister Guan.

This Body Refining method is a method that Senior Sister Guan obtained from a sect that mainly focused on Body Refining a few years ago.

This sect is called Divine Body Sect.

The Divine Body Sect is quite famous in the Piaomiao Continent, because the entire sect's monks follow the path of Body Refining, and without exception, they have studied this method deeply.

Therefore, once many Body Refining Independent Cultivators encounter doubts, they will travel thousands of miles to seek enlightenment and scriptures from the Divine Body Sect.

The Body Refining techniques collected by this sect are not simple.

"By the way, the backgammon that junior brother brought last time was quite interesting. Are there any similar ones?" Senior Sister Guan's emotions came and went quickly. At this moment, I have long forgotten the trouble of being exhausted at Xiyue's place.

When talking about this matter, his eyes even brightened.

"Yes." Chen Ping smiled and took out a Werewolf card game box from the storage bag:

"This game is called "Monk Kill". There is an instruction manual in the box. It's a bit difficult, but with Senior Sister Guan's IQ, it's certainly not a problem."

"That's necessary. Is it fun?" Senior Sister Guan, who was walking on the road, was about to open the box.

Chen Ping stopped and said:

"Senior Sister Guan, don't worry. This game requires the cooperation of multiple people. From now on, Senior Sister Guan and the junior brothers and sisters on the Ninth Peak can slowly play together. If you don't understand something, go to Tianyan City to find Yun Lingshan, she will be there After staying in Tianyan City for a while, junior brother opened a shop in Tianyan City."

Hearing this, Yun Lingshan said quickly:

"Master, if you have any questions, you can go to Tianyan City to find Lingshan at any time. Master's shop is right next to the Juechen Law Weapon store in Xinghua Lane."

Senior Sister Guan paused slightly when she heard this and said in surprise:

"Juechen Law Weapon store? That is my property. What a coincidence? What kind of store did my junior brother open?"

Hearing this, Chen Ping looked 'surprised'.

‘Unexpectedly’ it turned out to be Senior Sister Guan’s property:

"Then the person behind the Law Weapon shop is actually Senior Sister Guan? What a coincidence and fate. Junior Brother's shop sells talismans."

Next, Chen Ping introduced the situation of the Fulu Store to Senior Sister Guan seriously.

Finally, an olive branch:

"Since it is adjacent to Senior Sister Guan's store, wouldn't it be nice for Senior Sister to stay in Junior Brother's Talisman Store together? The bodyguards in the Juechen Law Weapon store can serve two purposes without incurring any extra expenses. We operate the Talisman Store ourselves. Senior sister only needs to have a good reputation and does not need to spend any energy. Senior sister can also enjoy the income brought by the Talisman Shop every year."

If Fu Lu Shop wants to gain a foothold in Tianyan City, it must have a strong background.

He himself will eventually return to Lingxiao Sect.

Yun Lingshan's cultivation is obviously not enough.

The power of Tianyan Sect is undoubtedly the biggest background of Tianyan City. Among the Tianyan Sect, the Ninth Peak is the most important.

Chen Ping obviously can't get Xiyue to join a small talisman shop, so Senior Sister Guan is the best candidate.

Although Senior Sister Guan is only at the early stage of Gold Core cultivation, she is a representative figure of the Ninth Peak, with Xiyue standing behind her.

In Tianyan City, no one dares to offend Xiyue.

"Don't do it, I don't lack spiritual stones." Senior Sister Guan said decisively.

Chen Ping was mentally prepared and followed the lead:

"Senior sister, don't worry. Junior brother naturally knows that senior sister is not short of spiritual stones, but this talisman shop is not only a talisman shop facing the Independent Cultivator, but also trades with other immortal cities. Is senior sister often banned by the master at the Ninth Peak? Cultivation? Isn’t Master strict about not allowing people to go out casually? With this talisman shop, doesn’t it mean there is one more reason to go out?”

Senior Sister Guan's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"It does make sense. Uh... I won't do it." The expression on her face changed instantly.

Chen Ping:……

Sudden.

"Paji~"

A booklet fell from Chen Ping's arms.

Chen Ping picked it up as if nothing had happened, patted the booklet and put it back in his arms.

"What is it?" Senior Sister Guan saw the words 'Fight the Sky' on the cover, which didn't look like a skill.

"Oh, it's just a legendary storybook. Junior brother wrote it himself." Chen Ping said calmly.

"Did you write it? Can you let Senior Sister read it?" Senior Sister Guan's interest suddenly aroused.

"I won't borrow it." Chen Ping said calmly.

"Tch, forget it if you don't want to borrow it." Senior Sister Guan snorted.

The three of them continued walking forward. Yun Lingshan gently pulled Chen Ping's sleeve, not knowing what to do next.

The biggest attraction of inviting people to join is the profit of the store, but if the other party is not short of spiritual stones, it will be more troublesome.

Senior Sister Guan obviously falls into this category.

Chen Ping is not worried.

really.

The three of them walked for a while, and Senior Sister Guan suddenly turned around and asked:

"Then what kind of story does the legendary novel tell?"

"Oh, it's an epic story about a young man who refused to be tricked by fate, fought against the sky, and stood at the top of the martial arts. Or, it's about a young man whose engagement was broken off at the beginning, and then used his strength to prove it for thirty years in Hedong. The story of Hexi: Don’t bully young people into poverty.”

"Can I borrow it from Senior Sister to take a look at?" The light in Senior Sister Guan's eyes flashed.

"I won't borrow it." Chen Ping said expressionlessly.

"Tch, forget it if you don't want to borrow it. This legendary story is so tacky." Senior Sister Guan complained.

hehe.

So you're so curious?

The three of them continued walking forward, and after walking for a while, Senior Sister Guan turned around and said:

"Why was the young man's engagement broken off? What happened next?"

"It's been so long since I wrote it, how can I still remember it?" Chen Ping said, speechless.

"Then you can borrow it from Senior Sister." Senior Sister Guan said with a smile.

"I won't borrow it." Chen Ping said firmly.

"Tch, it's boring. If you don't want to borrow it, don't borrow it. What's the big deal." Senior Sister Guan waved her hand.

Walked some distance again.

Senior Sister Guan and Chen Ping walked side by side:

"That thick pile just now was all that legendary storybook?"

"yes."

"Oh~...how many such legendary stories do you have, junior brother?"

"That's it, but there are a few more being written."

"oh."

After a while, Senior Sister Guan said matter-of-factly:

"Senior Sister suddenly felt that Junior Brother's shop is very good, and Senior Sister can just look after Junior Brother on behalf of Junior Brother. We are all Master's disciples, so who are you and me?"

"But, doesn't Senior Sister have a shortage of spiritual stones?"

"Hey. Junior Brother Chen, there is definitely no shortage of spirit stones for seniors in the early Gold Core stage, but what about the middle Gold Core stage, and what about the Gold Core Late Stage? You have to prepare for a rainy day. There is a shortage."

Chen Ping: ...haha.

I can't cure you yet.

"Lingshan, why don't you quickly thank you, Uncle Guan? If anything happens in the store in the future, just declare the name of the uncle and he will carry it. If you have nothing else, come to Tianyan Sect to see Uncle Guan."

Senior Sister Guan: ...

"Yes, Master. Thank you very much, Uncle." Yun Lingshan pursed her lips and snickered.

"..."
