I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 53 Building the Great Wall

"Go~"

In the forest, a figure moved quickly in the jungle. When it flashed past the side of a big tree, a small pure white sword filled with billowing spiritual energy flew out with a 'swish' sound.

"Bang."

A soft sound.

A large hole burst out in the thick trunk of a big tree fifteen meters away.

Chen Ping stepped forward and observed.

The diameter of the big tree is at least more than a foot, but the hole actually penetrates the trunk directly, and one can see behind the tree at a glance.

The diameter of the hole is not just one finger thick, but at least the size of three fingers.

This is obviously the effect caused by the spillover explosion.

‘This small spiritual sword, both in terms of strength and explosive effect, has been greatly improved. ’

Chen Ping tried a few more times excitedly.

After more than ten days of practice, his current spiritual power sword is [Spirit Power Small Sword (Proficient): 934/1000. ]

I estimate that in a few days, I will be able to reach the 'mastery' level.

Once he reaches the proficiency level, it will mean that he has practiced this spell to a level that most monks who practice this spell cannot match.

Another means of attack.

Um?

No, it's a life-saving measure.

Chengdongfang City.

Winter has completely passed, and the refreshing spring has quietly arrived.

The Independent Cultivators, who were stunned by the cold winter, finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to walk out of their homes.

The market became very lively.

"Have you heard? The team that set out for Azure Cloud Sect more than 20 days ago has lost contact with Cloud Link City and has no news."

"Isn't your news too late? It is said that it has been cut off for several days. It's just that the family has been keeping it secret, but there is no airtight wall?"

"Who says it's not? It is said that there was news a few days ago that the Azure Cloud Sect side has become extremely desolate. Even if it is close to the Azure Cloud Sect prevention zone, no monks from the Azure Cloud Sect have been seen. "

"It is said that a second team is being formed."

"Hey, I'm afraid the five major families can no longer control Cloud Link City. Haven't you heard that a small secret gang ransacked a street in the north of the city, and two monks even died in the palace?"

"The more chaotic Cloud Link City is, the more excited these guys are."

"Don't mention it, those families themselves are not clean. Didn't the Wang Mansion and the Liu Mansion divide the property of a small family again?"

"..."

Chen Ping squatted in front of his stall with his neck curled up, his hands folded in his sleeves, listening to the latest news shared by these Independent Cultivator stall owners, and chiming in from time to time.

Of course, most of what he said was this:

"Yes, yes, what this Fellow Daoist said is true."

"Yes, yes, this monk thinks so too."

"Yes, yes, this Fellow Daoist has great advice."

"..."

Listening to the chats of the Independent Cultivators, Chen Ping also quickly analyzed the current situation.

Something might have happened to Azure Cloud Sect... This was Chen Ping's first instinct.

Cloud Link City is more than three hundred miles away from Azure Cloud Sect. This distance is a natural chasm for Qi Refining monks, especially in the cold winter when they need to pass through endless forests.

But for the Foundation Building monks, the difficulty may not be too great, at least not as dangerous as imagined.

Does Azure Cloud Sect have Foundation Building?

have.

Gold Core has one.

But in the past few months, there has been no proactive information from Azure Cloud Sect.

There are only two possibilities:

1. Azure Cloud Sect had no intention of contacting Cloud Link City and completely abandoned this satellite city.

2. Azure Cloud Sect lost the ability to contact Cloud Link City due to some unknown reasons.

Either of these two possibilities is very scary.

None of this is good news for Cloud Link City.

"I'm afraid the chaos in Cloud Link City is inevitable. I'm afraid it will become increasingly difficult to live a peaceful life in the future."

Winter has just passed.

But here it comes again.

"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell this book "Illustrated Misty Continent"?" A voice came from in front of Chen Ping's stall, which brought Chen Ping back to his senses.

There was only one copy of "Illustration of the Misty Continent" for sale at his stall, which was a bargain bought with dozens of taels of gold.

Just put it on the stall to show off.

Not ready to sell, just want to see for yourself.

I didn’t expect anyone to actually ask.

The last time I sold "Nine Breeze Swords" no one bought it.

"Ten spirit stones." Chen Ping said casually.

The inquiring monk sighed:

"Oh, it's getting more expensive day by day. Forget it, I bought it."

Chen Ping:? ? ?

Bought?

I originally bought it with dozens of taels of gold, but now even if I sell ten spiritual stones, people are buying them?

What the hell?

"I mean...ten spirit stones." Chen Ping added calmly.

The inquiring monk was confused by Chen Ping's expression. He subconsciously put down the book and asked:

"Is it a Low Grade spiritual stone?"

Chen Ping:? ? ?

What's the meaning?

Would you also consider ten Middle Grade spiritual stones?

After thinking for a while, Chen Ping understood why it was so expensive.

When I bought it at the store, the store said it was the last copy and it was highly scarce.

This kind of book is usually ignored.

But it's different now.

Cloud Link City is becoming more and more insecure, and many monks are becoming interested in the outside world. Perhaps some bold monks may even begin to explore the possibility of leaving Cloud Link City.

In this case, such geographical records will become very useful.

Useful but scarce, naturally expensive.

Because the ten Middle Grade spiritual stones were too expensive, the monk who finally inquired left with a look of regret and anger.

Chen Ping took back the register and left.

I'm so stingy that I can't bear to part with ten Middle Grade spiritual stones.

…

After returning from Fangshi, as soon as I entered the street where the house was located, I saw people from the Liu Mansion registering house to house.

After a while it was Chen Ping's turn.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's like this. Spring has begun and the weather is getting warmer. After discussion, we have decided to rebuild the city wall of Cloud Link City. Every household needs to contribute, and so do all the families in the West District. This is a blessing to me. Waiting for everyone's big event. Fellow Daoist, let's see which days we can contribute? I'll register." A gentle monk from Liu Mansion introduced.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment:

"Repairing the city wall? The amount of work is not small."

"Although the repair task is arduous, it's better than worrying about the Demonic Beast raging outside, right?" The gentle monk smiled.

"That's right." Chen Ping agreed, then probed: "Where's Azure Cloud Sect?"

"Ah, Fellow Daoist, don't worry too much. Those outside are all rumors. Azure Cloud Sect will be in touch soon." The gentle monk smiled and interrupted Chen Ping's probing.

Chen Ping nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Obviously, these families want to maintain stability and are not willing to talk more.

I don’t know how the news from the outside spread.

Chen Ping looked at the city wall repair plan given by the gentle monk. After some exchanges, he asked some more details and doubts, and finally chose the last few days.

Finished early and finished things early.

For him, if he can enjoy a more stable life after working hard for a few days, this 'business' is definitely worth it.

On the fourth day after registration, the city wall maintenance task officially began.

This chapter is a little late, sorry. I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and may everyone have Chang'e!
