I will survive with proficiency

At the desk.

Chen Ping patted the stains on the "Illustrations of the Misty Continent" booklet, and took a breath. The dust that rose up mixed with yellowish sunlight in the air, forming a gorgeous Tyndall phenomenon.

The pages of the book are yellowed and the corners are turned up, obviously it has not been treated normally in the shop.

Chen Ping read this book page by page.

Soon I had a general understanding of the continent.

Lianyun City where he is located is in the Qingyun domain, a speck of dust in the Qingyun domain. The east-west or north-south diameter of the entire Qingyun Domain is estimated to be more than three thousand miles, and it is located at the southwest end of the Piaomiao Continent.

Belonging to the wild frontier.

The closest to Qingyun Domain is Tianyan Domain, which is located in Tianyan Continent. Tianyan Continent is an area in the southwest of Piaomiao Continent, and Qingyun Domain is one of them. There are several other domains scattered around.

But Tianyan Continent is still small compared to the entire Misty Continent. The Misty Continent is so big that this "Illustration of the Misty Continent" only talks about it in general without giving detailed notes, so Chen Ping has no idea.

He can't care about the rest of Misty Continent at the moment.

He couldn't even care about the Tianyan domain.

He can only gather in Qing Yunyu, this is where he will find a foothold in the next step.

In addition to the Qingyun Sect, there are several other sects in the Qingyun Region, which are distributed in different directions, but the area occupied by these sects is very small compared to the entire Qingyun Region, and more of them are endless forests.

Some large mortal cities or kingdoms are faintly scattered among them.

Chen Ping focused on reading the sects or cities near Lianyun City, which was what he cared most about.

The closest to Lianyun City is Qingyun Sect, which is about three hundred miles away.

Lianyun City is to the west of Qingyun Sect, and there is another Sanxiu City to the east and north of Qingyun Sect, similar in nature to Lianyun City.

There are several mortal kingdoms in the periphery.

"Illustrations of the Misty Continent" also gives some common travel routes for caravans. Because the three loose repair cities are relatively far apart, caravans usually settle temporarily in the mortal country, which can be regarded as business, and they will go to the next loose repair city after rest.

Some caravans will also go to Sanxiu City under the jurisdiction of other sects to exchange and benefit from the best resources of different sects.

As for cross-domain caravans, there are also.

But very, very little.

Chen Ping didn't know the nature of this caravan, where would it go next?

For him, the best route is to go to one of the other two Sanxiu cities. But if the next stop of the caravan is the mortal country, and then turn around and go to other jurisdictions of other sects, then he will temporarily rest in the mortal country, wait for the next caravan to appear, and then follow The other two casual repair cities.

After all, going to areas under the jurisdiction of other sects meant a longer journey.

The farther the road, the more dangerous it is.

If there is an option to reduce this risk, it is natural to choose the safest way.

As for the mortal country, it is only suitable for short-term stays, not for long-term settlement. Mortal cities have thin aura, so they are not suitable for Qi practitioners to practice, and their foundation will be damaged if they stay for a long time. And because there are few monks, the resources needed for many monks' practice may not be available in mortal cities, and more often they need to make an appointment, which has a great impact.

Unless you are willing to give up the immortal journey and stay in the mortal world honestly and domineering.

I am unwilling!

Chen Ping closed "Illustrations of the Misty Continent" and traveled to this point for ten months. This is the first time he has learned about the outside world. Before that, he always thought that he would stay in Lianyun City forever, but he never thought that he would choose to leave so early.

Now that he has clearly recognized the entire Qingyun Region and even the layout of Tianyan Prefecture, he also has a general understanding of his next itinerary and journey.

The next step is to prepare for the trip.

Night fell.

Zhang Zhengjia.

"My lord, are you back?" Seeing Zhang Zheng coming back, the maid hurried up to greet him and undressed Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng handed the robe to the maid and sighed.

"What's the matter? Master." Maids generally don't have the right to care about their masters, but Zhang Zheng's maids are special and have many uses.

"Hey, something happened to Qi Jianglun. Some people saw that it was Situ Shan who committed the murder. Situ Shan often appeared in this monk's house a few days ago, so he was involved. It's really a lot of trouble."

"Young master, will you be all right?"

"Who knows. Fortunately, I was a guest at another fellow Taoist's house that day, and I was not imprisoned because of other people's evidence and my low level of cultivation. This day is really true."

"My lord, don't worry, we will keep to ourselves, and the truth will always come to light."

"I hope so."

"I have had a few skin transactions with Chen Daoyou, I hope I don't get involved with him, he is such a cautious person."

"."

Outside Zhang Zhengjia's window.

Chen Ping, who was hooked upside down on the eaves, silently put the long sword into its sheath, and lightly jumped down to leave.

I observed Zhang Zheng silently for a while today, and eavesdropped on a lot of Zhang Zheng's conversations. Now I feel relieved and concluded that Zhang Zheng is not Situ Shan's accomplice.

He also let out a long sigh of relief.

If Zhang Zheng is suspected, or if there is a fatal flaw somewhere, and there is a risk of exposing him, then he can only kill him without hesitation to save his life.

But this is a helpless choice.

Zhang Zheng also had a five-year-old daughter, so what could be wrong with a child, he really didn't want to do anything unless it was absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, the ending is good.

the next day.

Chen Ping went to Chengdongfang City again. Instead of buying anything, I asked about public opinion, and the news I got was similar to yesterday's.

City defense is still in full swing to track down. It is said that Situ Shan's body has been found, and the relationship between Situ Shan and Qi Jianglun is currently being investigated. Elsewhere, progress appears to have stalled.

These people are just city guards, not Di Renjie, nor Yuan Fang.

It doesn't look like there's much progress in the case.

Back home, Chen Ping started making monster jerky.

Those caravans are willing to take the casual practitioners away with the team when they receive money, but they will not be responsible for the safety of the casual practitioners, nor will they be responsible for the food of the casual practitioners.

These are the casual cultivators' own responsibility.

It is a long way to the next city, and the road in the forest is not easy to walk. If there is bad weather, it may be delayed for more than ten days.

The most needed thing during this period is food.

But it is obviously not good to bring cooked monster meat, it is easy to spoil, and raw monster meat and Lingmi are not convenient, so they cannot be eaten at any time.

Dried monster meat can solve this problem very well.

Chen Ping combined the method of making beef jerky in his previous life, relied on his 'expert' level dissection skills, and his 'proficient' cooking skills in his second life, carefully selected and ground spices, and then made monster meat jerky.

Put it in the yard to dry during the day.

In the evening, it is placed in the dining room and baked with fire.

If I have to stay in a mortal city, then I will sell jerky to make money.

The jerky made by my skills can kill all competitors in the same industry.

Chen Ping smiled.

I didn't expect that I, a cultivator of immortals, would think of doing mortal business.

It's really... a trick.
