I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 85 Return to Ning Mansion

Since moving to the East District, Chen Ping has rarely appeared on the street where Ningfu is located.

Even if I occasionally go to Sunset Forest, I will deliberately take a detour.

Now that I'm back, things have changed.

The houses on both sides of the street have changed. The bluestone slabs that have been cleared of snow are no longer familiar with moss. The smell in the air feels more turbid. The sharp sword marks on the stone wall silently describe everything that happened here...

Chen Ping looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment here, and walked to the door of Ning Mansion unknowingly.

Only to find that the door of the house was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

After asking, I found out that they all came to Ning Mansion to inquire about news.

It's like this almost every day these days.

To this end, Ning Mansion has opened a special courtyard to receive visiting Independent Cultivators, and at two fixed times every day, dedicated people will come out to explain specific matters to Independent Cultivators and accept their consultations.

'this'

‘.It’s all formed into a fixed pattern. ’

At this moment, there are about a dozen Independent Cultivators sitting together in twos and threes in the courtyard, chatting.

Chen Ping followed the crowd and sat down in the yard.

"Who is Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist Chen?" As soon as Chen Ping sat down, an old cultivator came over to chat.

Chen Ping looked at the other person and saw that he looked familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen him before.

do not know:

"Fellow Daoist recognize me?"

The old cultivator didn't mind that Chen Ping didn't recognize him, and said with a smile:

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Fellow Chen Daoist for his life-saving grace in the past. If Fellow Chen Daoist had not taken action when repairing the city wall, I would have been in trouble long ago. Naturally, I recognize Fellow Chen Daoist."

…So that’s it… Chen Ping suddenly realized:

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist. I'm just protecting myself and it's not worth mentioning."

So that’s what happened.

But I still don’t remember what the other person looks like.

"Talking about the past, Fellow Daoist Chen may have also talked with this monk. This monk once worked in the Law Weapon store. After the business declined, he had no choice but to leave a few days ago." The old monk added.

After saying this, Chen Ping actually remembered it.

Just say it looks familiar.

"It turns out to be the guy from Law Weapon store. Nice to meet you." Chen Ping returned the favor with a hand-clasping gesture.

As soon as the topic was opened, the two started chatting during the boring waiting period.

Of course, it was mainly the old cultivators who were talking.

Chen Ping mainly listens and seldom talks about his own affairs. When asked occasionally, he just ignores it or changes the subject.

The old cultivator didn't mind. In addition, the Ning Mansion sent some tea. Although it was not spiritual tea, it would quench the thirst. The old cultivator was talking about it all over the place.

Talk about how colorful the world outside Cloud Link City is.

When the old cultivator was young, he was ambitious and just wanted to see the outside world. He traveled around with the caravan and stayed in many cities. Most of them earned travel capital by working at the Law Weapon store. He never wanted to make it in Cloud Link City. This made him extremely emotional.

"Look, what a great magic sword I have. In which city doesn't one sword cost six or seven Middle Grade spiritual stones? Look at Cloud Link City today, one Middle Grade spiritual stone can buy one. Even eighty or ninety Low Grade spiritual stones can buy one. It would be strange if it doesn't close down." The old cultivator was indignant.

After word of the retreat plan spread, weapons were recently reduced in price, and the Law Weapon store eventually closed.

The journey is long, and there are not a lot of camels like caravans. These bulky things are cumbersome to carry, so one handle is enough.

The number of Law Weapons remains unchanged, but the population of Cloud Link City is drastically decreasing. The supply of Law Weapons has long exceeded demand.

Sell-offs are inevitable.

Chen Ping asked curiously:

"Are the prices of Law Weapon in other cities the same as those in Cloud Link City in the past?"

When it comes to things outside, the old cultivator is even more proud:

"It's pretty much the same. Even in those cities where weapons are powerful, a Low Grade Law Weapon requires four or five Middle Grade spiritual stones. How is it like today's Cloud Link City?"

Chen Ping silently wrote down this information, and when he wanted to inquire more about the situation outside Cloud Link City, the conversation in the yard suddenly stopped.

You can hear needles dropping in the yard.

Chen Ping turned around and immediately understood the reason.

I saw the seventh lady in a white robe with cyan patterns coming in from outside and happened to pass by the outer courtyard.

When the beast wave struck, the seventh lady was recovering from injuries in Ning Mansion. He has been trapped in Cloud Link City since the Beast Tide.

She rarely goes out and is almost invisible to others.

It is said that because there is no means of Azure Cloud Sect, the seventh lady’s foundation has never been healed and she has been living in seclusion. His face is still a little pale now.

When Chen Ping looked at her, the seventh lady just turned her head and caught a glimpse of Chen Ping. She paused for a moment, said nothing, looked away, and then entered the inner palace.

As soon as this shock passed, a group of old perverts started chatting again.

When the words "genius", "girl", "beautiful" and "sect" are combined together, there will never be a shortage of topics.

"..."

"Fellow Daoist Chen? You didn't even say a word when you came? Please come in, please come in." When Manager Wang came out and asked everyone to wait a moment, he saw Chen Ping and greeted him politely.

Chen Ping stood up and returned the courtesy:

"Manager Wang, long time no see."

The last time they met, Manager Wang and the senior cultivator of the Ning Mansion went to Chen Ping's house and invited Chen Ping to rejoin the position of guest minister of the Ning Mansion.

Almost a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Who says it's not the case? Please come inside, we are all old acquaintances, let's catch up on old times inside." Manager Wang smiled and pulled Chen Ping towards the house.

After re-entering the inner palace, Chen Ping did not recognize the faces of many servants, Ding Keqing.

But there are still some old friends who are still working as servants. When they saw Chen Ping coming back, they all greeted him politely.

They had all heard about the battle at Chen Ping City Wall, and were quite moved. Of course, some people secretly scolded Chen Ping for being an old scumbag...with such a defensive power, he kept himself secretive in Ning Mansion and deliberately pretended to be weak.

Chen Ping was actually quite unjust, he was the real deal at first.

After sitting down in a warm pavilion, after waiting for a while, the head of Ning Mansion came over.

Chen Ping was somewhat surprised that the head of the Ning Mansion could come out. Although he worked in the Ning Mansion back then, he rarely communicated with the head of the Ning family.

Both parties could not help but exchange polite greetings.

After some pleasantries, Chen Ping got straight to the point:

"Senior Ning, I came here this time to find out if your plan to leave the city is as rumored in the city. It would be best if I could be lucky enough to see your route map for leaving the city. Secondly, the same goes for I would like to know the specific time of your departure."

The head of the Ning family smiled and said:

"The plans circulating in the city are mostly true. If Fellow Daoist wants it, he can take the sketch of the route. It is not something that needs to be kept secret. Many Fellow Daoists have asked for it."

"But to be honest, we drew this route based on a little information. It may change at any time during the actual journey, and it cannot be taken seriously."

"As for the departure time, we will set off after the ice melts in spring. When spring comes, it is most convenient for forest migration when the vegetation is not deep."

"..."

The head of the Ning family then introduced some details and asked Steward Wang to bring a book of sketches. Chen Ping’s doubts and questions are all answered.

At the end, the head of the Ning family invited:

"That's probably the case. How about it? Fellow Chen Daoist, would you like to go north out of the city with us?"

He knew Chen Ping's defensive power.

The journey out this time is dangerous, and more combat power means more protection.

Every Qi Refining Late Stage deserves attention.

What's more, Chen Ping once worked in Ning Mansion and has no problem with his character. Don’t worry about unforeseen circumstances along the way.

"I'll think about it again." Chen Ping put away the road map and remained noncommittal for the time being.

"There's no rush, just give me the confirmation a few days before the trip. I'll wait for news about Fellow Daoist Chen." The head of the Ning family said boldly, and asked his servants to buy some spiritual tea for Chen Ping, and then said:

"The route of my house is north, long and fast. It is not suitable for the early stage of Qi Refining, and it is difficult for them to persist. But for the Qi Refining Late Stage, this route is acceptable. Even if Chen Fellow Daoist did not reach the Qi Refining Late Stage Stage, I’m afraid you’re hovering on the edge too, right?”

Before Chen Ping could reply, the head of the Ning family continued:

"As for the Liu Mansion route, it is a little shorter and suitable for gambling in the early stages of Qi Refining. However, the possibility of encountering high-level Demonic Beasts is equally high, but it is not worth the risk for Qi Refining Late Stage monks."

“Fellow Daoist Chen is a smart person. I won’t say more. I believe Fellow Daoist Chen has his own judgment.”

"..."

Chen Ping has naturally considered these things, which is why he chose to come to Ning Mansion first today.

However, he did not immediately reply to the Ning family leader.

Think about it and talk about it.

"..."

The two parties chatted for a while, and then the head of the Ning family left. Manager Wang led Chen Ping out of the inner palace.

When they walked to the outer courtyard, a group of monks were still sitting there, waiting for people from the Ning Mansion to come over and answer their questions.

Go out, leave.

Not far from the street, I saw Chen Ping coming out, and a figure flashed past.
