I will survive with proficiency

After everything was ready, Chen Ping seldom went out and stayed in the house to concentrate on training.

Time flies, autumn goes and winter comes.

Chen Ping got up early in the morning, opened the door, and saw that the entire Luoyue City was covered in silver, and it was covered with snow everywhere.

The cold wind blows past the houses and trees, making a terrifying whistling sound.

Snow goose feathers are flying in the sky.

Visibility in the air has dropped a lot.

'Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year. I don't know if the situation will improve in the coming year after this heavy snowfall. '

Chen Ping tightened his robe.

He has not experienced the scorching heat and cold winter for many years, and these years in Yunzhong City have been spent in the formation of four seasons like spring.

This kind of cold winter has no effect on him who established the foundation, and coupled with the body of body training, his physical fitness is already amazing.

But those monks in the Qi training period are different from ordinary people.

Requires hard resistance to extreme weather.

What's more cruel is that after more than half a year of consumption, Luoyue City's grain stocks such as Lingmi have almost been consumed.

After losing the protection of the formation, the spiritual rice planted by Qingyunyu itself has changed from season to season, and the labor force of mortals has also been greatly reduced. The surrounding working environment is getting worse and worse, and the magic energy has also had a significant impact. Under the superposition of multiple factors, the output of Lingmi dropped significantly.

The output began to be somewhat outweighed by the consumption.

'As winter comes, it becomes more difficult to go out to hunt animals. Many monks are afraid that they will have a hard winter. '

'I just hope that the magic cultivator can be solved as soon as possible, and a peaceful practice environment in the world can be restored. ’ Chen Ping sighed secretly.

Chen Ping went back to the room, but just sat down to rest for a while, he heard the knock on the door again.

Activate the formation and go out.

The person who came was a disciple of Ling Xiaozong's affairs hall. After seeing Chen Ping, he bowed respectfully:

"Senior Chen, this junior is here to inform you. The sect will teach all guests and disciples the skills of picking medicinal materials and spirit treasures in ten days. The elder asks all the guests and disciples who established the foundation to participate, and I hope Senior Chen will let you know."

Teach herb picking skills?

And is it still a compulsory course?

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback:

"Why do you want to teach us the skills of collecting herbs all of a sudden? Does the sect have a plan to arrange for us to go out to find medicinal herbs?"

The young disciple handed over a booklet:

"The younger generation doesn't know, the younger generation just spread the word otherwise. Senior Chen, this is a brochure related to the teaching, senior please save it."

Chen Ping took the booklet, opened it and read it.

It is all about the address, time, personnel requirements and other precautions and process arrangements of this course.

The reason for teaching was not mentioned.

Chen Ping decided to visit Yun Haitang after Ling Xiaozong's disciple left, and inquire about the latest news about Ling Xiaozong.

Unfortunately, Yun Haitang went out.

Chen Ping turned his head and went to Ji Yan's house.

Knocking on the door, Ji Yan's voice came from inside:

"Who is it? I'm busy now, so it's inconvenient to meet guests. Fellow Daoist, please go back."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.

Why do you refuse customers before you see anyone?

But Ji Yan didn't see any guests, so he had no choice but to say goodbye:

"It's me, Chen Ping. But since Fellow Daoist Ji is inconvenient, don't disturb Fellow Daoist Ji."

"Chen...you Daoist Chen, wait a minute."

There was a sound of footsteps, and the door creaked open.

What came into view was a pale, bloodless face with bloodshot eyes, a slightly stooped waist, and a feeling of exhaustion.

It looks like an excessive indulgence.

"Library~"

Chen Ping held back his laughter and said solemnly:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, what's going on?"

"...Hey. Chen Daoyou came in and said." Ji Yan had to reveal his embarrassment, and his eyes dodged.

After sitting down in the living room, Ji Yan explained.

It turned out that some days ago.

Seeing that there was no possibility of breaking the fog formation, Ji Yan became more and more anxious, knowing that he didn't have many refreshment pills, and he didn't know how long it would take to find a chance of life in the future, so he changed it to two days to eat. A refreshing pill.

I would rather progress slowly.

It is also impossible to let the refreshing pill be completely broken one day in the future.

Even so, it still feels unsafe.

So he decided to go to the market to get some refreshing pills.

After squatting for a few days, I finally bought a bottle at a high price.

As a result, he was targeted as soon as he left the market.

The opponent not only used ordinary spells to attack, but also used soul attack spells. Ji Yan immediately used life-saving means and galloped back to the downtown area of ​​Fangshi, only to save his life.

"The cultivator of this calamity has changed his face, and it is impossible to tell who it is. But it is estimated that there are six or even seven levels of cultivation. Alas, this world is really uneasy. There are seven or eight sect monks in Luoyue City. It's too messy to prepare for each other." Ji Yan said helplessly.

Chen Ping couldn't help laughing.

well.

How should I say hello?

Originally, I told you about the magic in advance, just to make it easier for the ancestors to collect the awakening pill.

As a result, I didn't make great efforts in advance, and at this time I still ran to join in the fun.

Can you not be robbed?

Chen Ping sometimes even suspects that some of the cultivators in Fangshi who put on excellent conditions and hold signs asking to buy refreshing pills are fishing to enforce the law.

So after the news of the magic was spread, Chen Ping had never bought or sold the refreshing pill in the market.

Chen Ping cleared his throat:

"At present, there are prices and no market for Xingshen Pills in the market. It is better not to go there to look for Xingshen Pills. However, if Jiexiu is really at the sixth or seventh level of foundation building, you are lucky."

"That's right. I gave up the Xingshen Pill decisively and saved my life. Otherwise, my life will be over." Ji Yan still has lingering fears when he talks about it now.

He slapped his thighs loudly:

"At the beginning, I was suppressed by the Golden Core Demon Cultivator in Yunzhong City, and my vitality was severely injured. It took half a year to adjust my breath. This is just a few days, and I never thought that this would happen again. Alas, it will take another half a year."

Chen Ping: ...

Chen Ping has received professional training, so naturally he can't laugh.

He turned his head and took a sip of tea, and then he continued to comfort Ji Yan.

...It's been more than a year, and it's a net recovery. Those who progress quickly can repair half a level of cultivation.

"I did some research a few days ago. Not only have I been robbed recently. Many other monks have also been robbed. This is especially true for those monks who have just received the awakening pill from the sect. Many of my people do this." Ji Yan was afraid.

Being a repeat offender means having a lot of experience.

Means high risk factor.

Chen Ping couldn't help but increase his vigilance.

Once again, he was determined not to go to Fangshi to spy on the Xinshen Pill.

"By the way, today a disciple of the sect told me that he will go to receive medicine-picking lessons in ten days. Did you hear about this, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

After communicating for a while, Chen Ping asked without forgetting the purpose of his trip.

Ji Yan accompanied by a cough:

"Yeah. Yelai informed me. I heard that medicinal materials in the wild are becoming more and more difficult to find, and you need to go deep into the depths of the forest to have a chance. However, under the influence of the big formation, the deeper you go, the denser the miasma. They don’t have the ability to survive in such an environment. I heard that the sect has been unable to recruit casual cultivators who are willing to go out to collect herbs.”

Chen Ping quickly asked:

"So, Zongmen wants me to wait for Jiji to go out to collect medicine?"

"I'm afraid it's true." Ji Yan nodded:

"After all, the refining of Xinshen Pill cannot be stopped. But I don't know the rules of the sect for the time being."

Chen Ping knew it in his heart.

Since no casual cultivators could be recruited, and the qi-training cultivators had lost their ability to collect herbs, foundation building probably had to do their best.

After all, there are more than two hundred foundations in Luoyue City today, which is definitely not a lot.

I don't know the rules of the sect. If it is necessary to perform my duties, then as a guest minister, I have nothing to say. But if it was voluntary, Chen Ping would not go even if he was beaten to death.

No matter how high the reward is.
