I will survive with proficiency

"What does the senior mean? What is the relationship between this wild forest and a small bottle of unknown wine?"

Hearing Xiyue's words, Chen Ping couldn't help sitting up straight.

"At this time, it's about my secret, it can even be said that it's about my life, and it's also about this Misty Continent. You promise to go to this seat and tell you." Xiyue didn't say it directly.

It is a matter of safety, Chen Ping will not give an inch:

"Senior told me first before deciding whether to go or not?"

Xiyue:.

She looked at Chen Ping, and stopped mentioning the matter, but asked:

"Where did you go on this trip?"

Fairy Xiyue is very out of her mind.

What do you ask this for?

What are you planning again?

But this is not information that needs to be kept secret, and it doesn't hurt to say it bluntly.

"Most places in Xizhou." Chen Ping said vaguely.

"Oh." Fairy Xiyue's voice was slightly long:

"Xizhou, in the Misty Continent, it is a corner of Pianyu, a tiny place."

"Compared to the human world, this Misty Continent may not be regarded as brilliant either. There may be various places outside, don't you want to know more about it?"

"Think." Chen Ping said.

"Perhaps you will find out after going to the wild forest. There are many secrets in the wild forest. Are you going?"

"No." Chen Ping was firm.

'Thinking' and 'acting' are two different things.

If you just listen to it, of course, the more the better. But if you have to do it yourself to understand this information, then your own cultivation base is not enough now, so there is no need to take risks.

Xiyue does not give up:

"The wild forest is vast and boundless, but there are few people there? There are not even any sects established there. Want to know why?"

"think."

"go?"

"No."

Xiyue:.

"If you are not careful during the process of forming the pill, the pill will be broken and you will return to the Tao. Do you want to have the most powerful true monarch in the entire Western Continent to protect you?"

"think."

"go?"

"No."

"It's too much." Fairy Xiyue straightened her body and glared angrily:

"Think about this, think about that too. I don't want to contribute. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"I'm telling you that Yu Lingchun's talent makes it very difficult for her to succeed in foundation building. I basically provided the best conditions on the Ninth Peak to help her succeed in foundation building. If you disagree, I will beat her back. Qi refining period."

Chen Ping: .

here we go again.

"Senior, Yu Lingchun is my wife, but she is also the disciple of the senior. The senior can't easily use this to threaten the junior. Besides, since you and I want to cooperate, at least we have to be open and honest?"

"Isn't it unreasonable for the senior to hide everything and let the junior go to an extremely dangerous place? The senior himself said - 'I want this, I want that too. I don't want to contribute. There is such a good thing in the world?' , isn't this too disrespectful to the younger generation?"

"At least tell the younger generation why? What are you going to do? What are you going through? Right?"

Fairy Xiyue was startled.

Looking at Chen Ping, his heart fluctuated greatly, but he finally calmed down.

Chen Ping struck while the iron was hot:

"Besides, with senior's cultivation base, it is not easy to take this junior captive to the wild forest? But senior didn't do this, what does it mean? It shows that senior is high-spirited, open-minded and broad-minded. He doesn't use force to conquer people, but uses reason Convincing people. Since this is the case, seniors should at least treat juniors as equals, right?"

Fairy Xiyue was startled again.

After a moment of calm, he finally sighed and said:

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but knowing some things will not do you any good, and even affect your cultivation state of mind."

"But since you have to investigate why, you can simply mention it."

"On this misty continent, apart from the human race, there are also demon races, demon cultivators, Heluo, and countless ghosts and monsters. But there have never been demon races, do you know why?"

Without waiting for Chen Ping to answer, she continued:

"Because in ancient times, after the human race joined forces to defeat the demon race, they used the demon ancestor as a tool to refine, divide and imprison them, and trapped them in various places in the human world, so as to block the passage from the demon world to the human world. And This confinement needs to be supported by Yuanying and even the Yuanshen of Huashen monks."

"This seat is one of the monks who support the primordial spirit today."

"The process of making offerings is extremely harmful to the soul of the monks, so there are many cases of returning to Taoism. I am lucky. But the reduction of lifespan is almost inevitable."

"It just so happens that your nameless wine has a good effect on the nourishment of Yuanying's soul. This is why I am willing to save Yu Lingchun's apprentice in exchange for your spirit wine, otherwise you think I am really so Do you like to drink?"

A small sip of the spirit wine for more than ten days can achieve the goal, no more will be beneficial.

But you drink every day.

You have the nerve to make excuses.

However, this passage had a great impact on Chen Ping.

It doesn't matter whether Fairy Xiyue really likes drinking or not, but the secret behind it is something that Chen Ping did not expect.

Unexpectedly, there is such a big historical entanglement between the human race and the demon race.

There has been no demons appearing because of the 'passage confinement'.

"In this continent, is the Nascent Soul one of the offerings that are imprisoned?" Chen Ping couldn't help asking.

"That's not the case. There are only a few of them. There must be some conditions. Some Nascent Souls don't even know the story behind it." Xiyue shook her head.

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

That's fine.

If it is true, every Nascent Soul cultivator cannot escape that fate.

That was not a good thing for Chen Ping.

He is not as great as Xiyue, he only wants to achieve immortality for himself, he can't take care of other people's affairs, and he has no ability to take care of them. Naturally, he doesn't want his soul to be damaged and the journey to immortality is hopeless.

After a pause, he asked again:

"Why do you have to sacrifice yourself to imprison? There are many high-level monks in the human race, right? Why not just fight the demons again?"

"One more fight?" Xiyue laughed bitterly:

"Aside from other things, do you know that there hasn't been a cultivator who has been ascended in this misty continent for thousands of years? Well, don't talk about ascending to the spirit world, even if it is a cultivator who has transformed himself, there has not been a monk in this misty continent for thousands of years .”

"The spiritual energy in the human world is lacking, and the talents of high-level monks are withering. But the demons are growing stronger and stronger. If the road from the demon world to the human world is not blocked, the entire human world will only become a hunting ground for the demons. With you and my current sect of practice? That is the real dark moment for the human race."

Chen Ping was shocked when he heard the words.

The information was too powerful for him.

Not to mention the power of the demon race, but in the entire Ethereal Continent, there is not even a single God Transformation?

And for thousands of years, no one has attained Dao Ascension?

Could it be that the way of practice in this life can only end in the realm of Nascent Soul?

It stands to reason that even if there is a lack of aura in the human world, the methods of gathering spirits of high-level monks are unpredictable. It is still possible to support a few Nascent Soul Transformation Gods, so why not have a single Transformation God?

Is it just because of lack of spiritual power?

"Look, does it affect your mood? It's not something you can inquire about, you have to inquire about it." Fairy Xiyue felt Chen Ping's mood fluctuate, glanced over, and said randomly:

"But don't worry too much. For you, it's all in the future. Who can say what will happen hundreds of years later."

"For you, a foundation-building cultivator, you don't need to care about these things at the moment, and you can't do anything. On the contrary, what you need to do is to keep practicing and keep strengthening your wings. Only when the storm really comes, can you do it Not afraid of the wind and rain, you can still fly freely."

Chen Ping recovered from the shock.

exhale.

What Xiyue said is right, you can understand these things if you can understand them, but there is no need to worry too much about them.

These things are beyond his control as a foundation cultivator.

Only when you become strong can you have unlimited possibilities.

Otherwise everything is empty talk.

"What does this have to do with inviting juniors to go to the wild forest?" Chen Ping brought the topic back.

Xiyue nodded and said:

"Then Jian Nanchun, I originally wanted to slowly nourish the spiritual wine of Yuanshen, but after these years, I found that the effect of Jian Nanchun has become more and more obvious, which shows that your wine making level is improving."

"But the progress is very slow."

"Before you appeared, I have been searching for the traces of the person who created the unknown wine for hundreds of years, and later found its possible place of fall, which is in an ancient ruin in the wild forest."

"This seat will take you there, go to the scene to experience a little bit, explore the ruins there, maybe it can greatly increase your winemaking level."

"This is why I invite you to go with me."

At the end, he said:

"I have told you all the secrets, are you satisfied now?"

???

Exaggerated.

At most, I know that you are one of the cultivators who are imprisoned by the channel.

Say what all the secrets.

The exploration of the land where the power fell is an excellent way, whether it is for the monks to break through the realm, or for the monks to break through the bottleneck when they encounter obstacles in the practice of similar skills.

This is why Xiyue mentioned that going to the ruins to study might increase the winemaking skills greatly.

But for Chen Ping, he didn't need to go to any ruins of the fallen power.

As long as the liver goes down, Dzogchen will come sooner or later.

It's just because after becoming a 'grandmaster' in wine making, the nameless wine is enough for him, and it's enough to deal with Xiyue, so he didn't spend any more time on the liver skill.

But he couldn't tell Xiyue that.

I can't swear that I can greatly improve the level of brewing without going to the ruins.

"If this wine is brewed to the extreme, can it save the life of the senior? Make up for the lost lifespan?" Chen Ping was a little puzzled.

"No." Fairy Xiyue affirmed:

"But it can minimize losses and make up for Yuanshen. As for making up for Shouyuan...from the moment I agreed to assist in confining the passage, I have already prepared for the worst."

"Including sacrificing your own immortal journey?" Chen Ping looked at Xiyue.

Talking about it today, he still looks at Xiyue with admiration.

In fact, he himself is not the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for the sake of all beings. He came to this world to live forever, not to save others.

At most, his light can illuminate his daughter-in-law and closest relatives.

I will not light lamps for others.

But this does not affect his appreciation for those who have the world in mind.

He doesn't know if Fairy Xiyue is a person with a heart for the world, but she is willing to waste her soul to block the Demon Lord. For this alone, he still admires it.

Seeing that Fairy Xiyue didn't speak, Chen Ping changed the subject:

"Actually, if you give the younger generation another few decades or hundreds of years, maybe the younger generation will be proficient in the art of brewing wine, so why bother to take risks?

"Difficult, more than thirty years have passed since the first transaction between you and me, right? Although your winemaking skills have improved, but not much. It's almost enough to give you a thousand years, but let alone whether you have this opportunity, At least this seat does not have a thousand years of longevity." Fairy Xiyue teased.

After a pause, Fairy Xiyue said seriously:

"The previous verbal threat to you was considered abrupt by me. I think it's my own business. It's really unfair to impose it on you. You don't need to pay attention to what I said before."

"However, you can consider this seat's proposal."

"In exchange, as long as you are willing to go along with me. This seat promises to protect you when you form a pill, and provide you with the five elements you need. Of course, if you are willing, this seat can also accept you as a registered disciple. You are under the control of the sect, but if you encounter obstacles on the road to practice in the future, this seat can solve your doubts."

"This is an exchange condition that this seat can provide, is there any more?"

Chen Ping looked at Fairy Xiyue.

Among these three conditions, the allure of Dharma protector and registered disciple status is average.

For example, the second article, even if there is no guardian Xiyue, you can still ask Wei Xun for help.

Substitutable.

but.

The first 'Liquid of the Five Elements' was exactly the treasure he couldn't ask for right now.

After traveling for sixteen years, I only encountered the 'Five Elements Liquid' twice, and only won one bottle.

At present, there are still three kinds of fluids of the five elements, and it is really not easy to get them.

Although Jin Dan can make up for it in the future, it is a last resort.

The best way is to make the golden core healthy when forming the core.

This condition is very attractive to him.

"Senior's offer of exchange is not unattractive. In fact, even if there is no exchange of conditions, senior taught Yu Lingchun's kindness carefully, and junior should naturally go with senior."

"It's just a practice. It's never easy. The younger generation is trembling, and everything is going well and avoiding bad luck. I just want to live longer. So if there is any offense before, please forgive me." Chen Ping sighed openly.

Then explored:

"The junior wants to ask, I heard that the senior was injured in the wild forest before?"

Fairy Xiyue was originally inexplicably moved by Chen Ping's candid words, but when she heard the last sentence, she almost lost her defense:

"What injury? That was when the secret realm first appeared in the wild forest, and the secret realm space was not stable at all. Now that decades have passed, it has already been completely stable. Countless foundation-building monks have gone there, let alone this seat?"

"Besides, we won't go to the secret realm this time, but to a ruin deep in the forest."

Fairy Xiyue scolded Yu Lingchun in her heart, thinking that she would tell all the embarrassing things about herself.

Chen Ping was thoughtful, this should be true.

Bailiye also mentioned it back then - the secret realm will be stable in more than ten years.

If Nascent Soul is present, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Senior, tell me the truth, do you have many hostile forces?" Chen Ping still asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Fairy Xiyue said in an arrogant tone:

"Hostile forces? Are you joking?"

"In the whole of Xihuang, who is my opponent? The sect of Tianyan Sect is not up to my power. Not to mention Xihuang, even the whole of Xizhou, no one can do anything to me."

"When you go to the wild forest, as long as you follow me all the time, I will protect you from any worries."

This girl is so strong?

I underestimated her.

It seems that not everyone can be a monk who imprisoned the passage.

"In this case, the junior will go with the senior." Chen Ping decided.

With Nascent Soul by his side, he can almost walk sideways in Xihuang, and the task to perform is not too dangerous. He only needs to go to the ruins to comprehend the wine-making insights left by Da Neng, not to explore the secret place.

With the superposition of the two, this transaction can be done.

worth.

"That's right. I know you cherish your life, but you can't blindly avoid going out to take risks. Why worry about me? If you don't know the outside world, you can't grow your mood, and it's not good for your practice. Your wandering consumes It took sixteen years to realize it, and there may be some reasons for this." Xiyue said.

After finishing speaking, she will take out a token from her waist and throw it to Chen Pingdao:

"You take this token. If you go to Tianyanzong in the future, you don't need to wait at the foot of the mountain anymore, just go up the mountain."

"From now on, this seat is your master."

After she said this sentence, Chen Ping saw a sly look in her eyes.

I don't know what she's thinking about.

This woman may be setting traps everywhere she speaks.

"By the way, yours." Xiyue smiled, and now that they have become apprentices, of course they have to blackmail more spiritual wine.

"The spirit wine is gone." Chen Ping said decisively.

Xiyue:.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to say:

"Master Xi. You and I are masters and apprentices. The disciples are currently in the critical period of alchemy. They should spend a lot of time on cultivation, and all other things should give way. Shouldn't the master be more considerate of the disciples? Master, do you think that the spirit wine can be supplied a few years later?"

Xiyue: "."

"Besides, Master once said that a small sip for dozens of days is enough. Too much is not good for practice. Instead, it becomes alcoholism. This is not good. Master is the number one monk in Xizhou. If you have a weakness, you will be exploited and targeted if you have a weakness. For the safety of the master, the master should just drink a sip for more than ten days. From now on, how about letting the disciples supervise and supervise?"

Xiyue: "."

"Furthermore, if the master has just accepted the junior as an apprentice, if he makes the apprentice to speed up brewing, in the eyes of others, he will think that the master is using the apprentice? Is the master like this? Of course not, the master is so virtuous , The righteousness is awe-inspiring, how could it be such a person? If this is going to be spread, won’t it ruin the reputation of the master?"

Xiyue: "."

"Master, when do you think we're leaving?"

Fairy Xiyue didn't want to pay attention to Chen Ping, always feeling panicked.

After taking several deep breaths, I calmed down my fluctuating mood:

"Since it has been decided, it is not too late. I will go back to the sect to deal with some affairs, and I will leave in half a month. At that time, I can also find a place in Xihuang, and I will protect you as a master and form a pill for you. By the way, what are you missing? Plant the fluid of the five elements?"

"Three liquids of gold, wood and water."

"Bring it to you in half a month."

"Thank you, Master."

"Have you got the golden core?"

"Yes, but only one."

"Well, your physique, one is not safe, I will bring you another one in half a month."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping said loudly.

"Hmph, are you calling Master so hard now? It seems that you were proposed to accept you as a disciple just now to repay your losses." Fairy Xiyue sneered.

Chen Ping: .

One cannot, or at least should not, hold grudges like this.
