I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Suixi City.

City Lord's Mansion, Dugu Mansion.

Dugu Yuan is in a good mood today. According to the news from his informants, Chen Ping has returned to the mansion since the end of the competition. He has not left the mansion even half a step. He is probably recovering from his injuries.

It is said that Fairy Biyuan has not traveled far away from Opening Heaven. She was seen attending a sect meeting yesterday.

This shows that Chen Ping most likely did not file a lawsuit against Dugu Jijiu for using poison.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ping is a person who does not hold grudges.

This made the lonely ape overjoyed.

The only thing that made him unhappy today was that the old man named "Six True Monarch" who was married to Dugu Jijiu's young cousin and his biological niece seemed to have fallen into the inferior position in the competition for the head of the family.

This old man is the person that Dugu Yuan strongly supports.

But it doesn’t matter.

The old man named "Three True Monarch" who had the upper hand in the competition for the head of the family was also related to his Dugu family. Aunt Dugu Jiu married this man.

Whoever wins the position of head of the family will maintain a close relationship with his Dugu family in Suixi City.

and will not favor other families.

Lonely Ape returned to Dugu Mansion, activated several formations and entered the inner courtyard. He opened the door of the quiet room and saw Dugu Jiuan meditating quietly. He glanced at the woman next to him:

"Jijiu didn't wake up today, did he?"

"Young Master, no." The woman raised by the Dugu family whispered.

Dugu Yuan nodded and took one more look at Dugu Jijiu before leaving.

Just at this glance, I subconsciously felt something was wrong.

The posture for meditating is correct.

Why is your head drooping?

As if asleep.

Dugu Yuan frowned slightly, and his spiritual consciousness reached out for a moment.

Suddenly shocked.

He crossed over with an arrow and rushed to Dugu Jijiu's side. He reached for Dugu Jijiu's heart with one hand.

Lifeless?

Dugu Yuan trembled all over, and an unknown premonition struck him.

He quickly explored Dugu Jijiu's dantian again.

I was horrified.

A feeling of dizziness almost made him faint, and he staggered back and almost fell.

"Who has been here today?" he shouted to the woman beside him.

When the woman was yelled at by Dugu Yuan, her mind was buzzing, and she spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably, but she didn't dare to be careless at all, and quickly knelt down and said:

"Master, no, no one has been here."

Dugu Yuan grabbed the woman's hair and photographed her. His voice was deafening: "I'll give you one last chance. Who is it?"

The woman couldn't bear the roar of Nascent Soul. She spit out a mouthful of blood again, her expression was dazed, her face was pale with fright, she didn't know what happened, and she quickly said:

"Really, no one has ever been here. This slave has always been awake."

Dugu Ape's eyes were red.

At this time, he realized that this woman was just a mortal. Since the other party could kill Dugu Jijiu silently, how could this woman notice it?

He pushed the woman away and knelt beside Dugu Jijiu again, groping around Dugu Jijiu's body with his hands, hoping that his perception just now was wrong.

Then there were no surprises.

died.

The soul is destroyed.

All that's left in front of you is an empty shell.

Dugu Yuan's lips trembled, his eyes closed slightly, then he hugged Dugu Jijiu, buried his head and cried loudly.

He couldn't figure it out, how could a person who was fine just an hour ago be gone?

He's obviously recovering well.

This is the hope of the Dugu family.

The Dugu family looks huge, but there are only three Nascent Souls in the entire family.

The ancestor is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but he is already dying and has not left home for nearly two hundred years.

He, Duguyuan, is also in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but his cultivation has been stagnant for hundreds of years. He knows his situation best. He knows that he has no hope. The middle stage of Nascent Soul is the end of this life.

Dugu Jijiu is different.

Dugu Jijiu was a true genius, especially after becoming the direct disciple of the head of the Yunjin Sect, he became the hope of everyone in the family.

"It's my father's fault, it's my father's fault. My father thought that you had the guidance of the head master and no longer needed to be taken care of. He went to guard the ruins for more than a hundred years. Only when he came back did he realize that you had gone astray."

"It's all my father's fault, Ku, Ku, Ku, Ku. If my father didn't go to the ruins, why would this happen?"

"Why is the soul completely destroyed? So much so that there is no way to save him. Wuwuwu~"

"Obviously, just an hour ago, I was planning to take revenge on Chen Ping. Why did I suddenly return? Ah! Ah! Ah!"

revenge?

Dugu Yuan slowly raised his head, his face full of tears becoming ferocious.

who is it?

Who did it?

I want you to die! ! ! !

Dugu Jijiu could not die for no reason.

Someone entered this quiet room, quietly killed Dugu Jijiu's Primordial Spirit, and then quietly left without moving a single inch.

He glanced at the shivering woman in the corner.

This woman is impossible in the first place.

Dugu Jijiu lay there defenseless and allowed her to chop her to death.

But the problem is that this mansion is an independent mansion. There are several formations arranged on the mansion. These formations are all made by the formation masters. It is impossible for the Nascent Soul monks to quietly break through them in an hour. He captured all the formations here, and then retreated without destroying the formations at all.

This is impossible.

It simply cannot be done.

If you want to do this, you must have a token, but apart from himself, only Dugu Jijiu has the token.

That woman is just a mortal. Even if she steals Dugu Jijiu's token, she can't move her. She can't leave the mansion, and she can't become a person who cooperates with the monks outside.

How is it done?

Not only is there a formation here, but because of the strategic importance of Suixi City, the formations arranged on the entire city lord's mansion are quite impressive. Even the ninth-level monks of Nascent Soul may not be able to break through the formations quietly and enter here.

Who is this person?

Chen Ping?

No, no, that's not possible.

Not to mention that the news I learned is that Chen Ping has been in seclusion. Even if he comes to Suixi City, Chen Ping does not have this ability.

Gold Core monks cannot break through the Rank Three formation without causing any abnormalities.

Biyuan?

Bi Yuan has the ability to quietly break through layers of formations in such a short period of time? No trace of the formation's rhyme is wasted.

Isn't Biyuan majoring in alchemy?

Her formation attainments are not very outstanding.

Moreover, even if Biyuan has this ability.

But this is completely unlike Biyuan's past style.

Who else?

Dugu Yuan stood up and walked to the stone door, looking out the door with deep eyes.

An idea flashed through his mind that made his scalp tingle.

"It's you!" He gritted his teeth.

Under the Soul Formation, if we say that the people who are most likely to be able to enter here quietly, then they must be the True Monarchs in the Lord's Mansion of Suixi City.

This mansion was provided by them.

If they had planted some heretical means in advance during construction, it would really be possible to cheat the formation and get in.

Only they have this opportunity.

Three True Monarchs?

Is it because I, Dugu Yuan, personally support the Six True Monarchs in seizing the title of head of the family? Just hold a grudge against Jiu Wu'er?

Dugu Yuan clenched the ground with his fists.

"As a sacrifice to my son, my father will continue to investigate until the truth is found."

"Being a father will not let your death be in vain."

"As a father, all those who tried to kill you will be buried with you."

The other side.

Chen Ping followed the way he came and quickly left Suixi City in the image of an old man.

Until he appeared in the quiet room of his mansion, he didn't encounter any obstacles.

‘At ease. ’

‘No one will plot against me now. ’

'But the Dugu family has to be careful. The people in this family are very insidious. They may not need evidence to kill people. Maybe they will attack me just because of suspicion. ’

'But moving to Bixian Pavilion at this moment is a bit inappropriate and seems to be covering up. ’

‘I will be in seclusion during this period, and I will move in a few months. ’

Chen Ping got up and went to the courtyard, checked the integrity of each formation again, and then returned to the inner courtyard to ensure that it was correct, and asked the Xu sisters to get out of the stone tablet.

"Master, have you dealt with Dugu Jijiu?" Xu Ruyan asked.

She had only completed the corresponding tasks under Chen Ping's instructions before, and then returned to the stone tablet to follow Chen Ping, without even knowing the effect of the task.

"Solved." Chen Ping nodded and explained:

"You should keep a close eye during this period. If you prefer to practice less, you should also pay attention to the surrounding situation. If we find anything wrong, we will need to move immediately."

"Yeah." Both sisters nodded.

"When did Yan'er curse Dugu Yuan?" Xu Ruyan sharpened her knife.

Chen Ping thought for a while, now is not the time, he has to wait a little longer:

"Let's give it three months. Then the curse will start to bite him back. It's still the same old rule. It will be less frequent at first, and then it will become more and more intense. Finally, he will not be able to walk out of his family's door."

"Don't worry, head of the family, Ruyan will make him feel better when the time comes." Xu Ruyan was filled with indignation.

Old man, how dare you do harm to the handsome head of my family. I think you don’t want to live anymore.

After Chen Ping made arrangements, he returned to the quiet room and started practicing.

Strength is everything.

Since Dugu Jijiu is the direct disciple of the leader and has not been abolished after all, the Yunjin Sect will probably intervene, but the extent is unknown.

But Yunjin Sect intervened, and even if there was doubt about Celestial Melody Sect, there was Celestial Melody Sect and Quanyang Zhenzun to support him.

The worst thing is that Fairy Biyuan is still there.

In the absence of definite evidence, he would be fine.

But the Dugu family is different.

They lost a proud member of their family, how could they give up so easily?

The best way to deal with the Dugu family is to strengthen yourself.

Strive to transform into a baby as soon as possible.

Only by becoming a Nascent Soul monk can I be more comfortable facing the Dugu family, which only has two mid-stage Nascent Soul monks.

Time flies.

After the last duel with Dugu Jijiu, Chen Ping discovered after practicing during this period that the trauma of the duel did not affect the speed of his practice. On the contrary, he felt a little more enlightened than before.

Does the ninth level of Gold Core also require practical experience?

There is no such statement for Gold Core levels one to eight.

After more than half a year, the third elixir pattern in Chen Ping's dantian was successfully formed.

Still a perfect red pattern.

In the past few months, the Xu Ruyan sisters have not discovered any dangerous people.

However, Chen Ping was not careless. Undercurrents are often invisible.

He decided to move.

Move to rich woman's house.

There are not many things that need to be moved into this mansion, and even the spiritual plants in the yard are ordinary Spirit Communication plants that are not valuable. You only need to pack the formations, tables, chairs, beds, futons, etc.

The most troublesome thing is the refining furnace in the refining room, which needs to be carefully dismantled deep underground, but this is not a troublesome thing.

It took two hours to pack everything.

As for the rent, there are still more than 10 years of rent that has not been paid back. Chen Ping is too lazy to go to the General Affairs Hall to ask for it back. This mansion will not be refunded for the time being. It can also be used as a temporary residence when needed in the future.

After leaving the house, Chen Ping did not go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he went to Xu Liang's place first.

This time, he had to leave a message to Xu Liang and Jia Zhong, who were the two few friends he had in this fairy city for more than a hundred years.

It's a pity that Xu Liang is not at home and has gone out.

This is very Xu Liang.

Then we went to Jiazhongshou Cave Mansion, but Jiazhongshou was at home.

"Fellow Daoist Chen? You are a rare guest, come in and sit down." Jia Zhongshou opened the courtyard door and greeted him warmly.

"In retreat?" Chen Ping looked at Jia Zhongshou and followed him into the courtyard.

Jia Zhong laughed and said:

"Yes, I have been in seclusion for nearly ten years. The eighth floor of Gold Core has been around for a few years. I want to attack the ninth floor of Gold Core. If Fellow Daoist Chen hadn't come, I would still be meditating in the quiet room."

Ever since Jia Zhongshou saw the progress of Chen Ping's cultivation, he has been doing less work of receiving refining tools and spending more time in retreat in recent years, even though he has barely enough spiritual stones.

In the past, he rarely had the experience of staying in retreat for nearly ten years at a time.

This is probably called "the person who is close to the red is red".

"Did Fellow Daoist Chen come here this time for something?" Jia Zhongshou knew that Chen Ping would rarely leave the mansion if he was fine.

Chen Ping nodded:

"Yes, we are planning to move this time, to the City Lord's Mansion. If Fellow Daoist Jia and Fellow Daoist Xu want to find me in the future, they can go to Bixian Pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion to find me."

Jia Zhongshou and Xu Liang were not going to hide this matter anymore.

To be precise, it's not that I don't want to hide it.

But it can't be hidden.

The competition between him and Dugu Jijiu caused a lot of commotion, and since he often appeared in Bixian Pavilion, interested people might have known that Fairy Biyuan’s Taoist companion was ‘Chen Ping’, as did Dugu Jijiu back then.

It's even possible that more than just those who are interested know about it, and maybe it has spread among the public in private.

They just covet the majesty of the City Lord's Mansion and dare not discuss it openly.

After the competition with Dugu Jijiu, the female cultivator I met on Central Street seemed to have noticed it.

Nowadays, people can’t recognize him when he walks outside, just because he rarely shows up. Even if others know that Biyuan Fairy’s double monk is ‘Chen Ping’, they still don’t know who Chen Ping is?

What does it look like?

But Xu Liang and Jia Zhongshou are different.

They know who Chen Ping is.

It was only Jia Zhongshou who had been in retreat during this period, otherwise he might have known about it by now.

At this moment, Jia Zhongshou condensed slightly when he heard the words:

"Moving to the City Lord's Mansion? Bixian Pavilion?"

The puzzled expression was followed by surprise:

"Could it be that Fairy Biyuan accepted you as her disciple? Are you so lucky?"

"No." Chen Ping smiled: "I am her Taoist companion."

"I'm so happy for you. I thought you were so lucky to be accepted as a disciple by such a big shot as Fairy Biyuan." Jia Zhongshou shook his head, walked into Cave Mansion with Chen Ping, and closed the door.

Immediately, a scream came from inside the stone door that creaked shut:

"What?"

"What did Fellow Chen Daoist just say?"

"Are you a Taoist companion of Fairy Biyuan?"

It was deathly silent in the Cave Mansion.

"..."

After Chen Ping's repeated explanations, Jia Zhongshou accepted this incredible fact.

"So if you want to find me in the future, just go to the City Lord's Mansion." Chen Ping said with a smile.

Jia Zhongshou touched his head with one hand:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, don't talk to me yet. Let me take a moment to digest the news just now."

Chen Ping:……

"So, are you now Fairy Biyuan's true son? Are you the master or grandmaster of the disciples in Biyuan Pavilion?" Jia Zhongshou still had a lingering shock in his heart.

He did not ask any more questions about the reason Chen Ping casually mentioned that Fairy Biyuan asked him to be her Taoist companion. Everyone has their own secret, and this secret not only involves Chen Ping, but also Fairy Biyuan, so it is naturally inconvenient to go into details.

At least Fairy Biyuan can like Chen Ping, which means that Chen Ping must have special skills.

"Ahem, you can say that." Chen Ping smiled.

"Oh my god, that's Fairy Biyuan! The Soul Formation monk in the future! I finally understand why Fellow Chen Daoist's cultivation is progressing so fast. How can this be faster?" Jia Zhongshou clicked his tongue with emotion.

After a pause, he was shocked again and said:

"A few years ago, I heard that Dugu Jijiu of Yunjin Sect challenged the Taoist companions of Fairy Biyuan."

"Looking at Fellow Daoist Chen's relaxed expression, you can't win, right?"

He didn't want to believe this anyway.

That's the Nascent Soul monk.

Rather, he is a direct disciple of the head of a large sect.

So I stared wide-eyed at this moment, waiting for Chen Ping's answer.

"I won by luck." Chen Ping said.

Something everyone knows.

Jia Zhong closed his eyes and stared even wider.

Take a breath.

My mind didn't calm down for a long time.

He touched his head from time to time, obviously still digesting the shock.

But on second thought, Chen Ping described all of this as 'coincidence' and 'lucky'. It seems that everything can be summed up with the word 'lucky', but what doesn't Jia Zhongshou understand?

If a spiritual stone falls from the sky, you must be prepared to catch it.

I think of Chen Ping’s performance in slaying demons in his Law Treasure, and of Chen Ping’s focus on spiritual practice over the years.

Looking deeper, it all seems natural.

Where is the luck?

It's just a matter of time.

"..."
