I will survive with proficiency

After Xiyue retreated, Chen Ping focused on drawing symbols again.

On the second day after he first came to the village, the village deacon came to know about Chen Ping, and also informed the village of relevant information.

During the conversation, Chen Ping learned that this village is not for nothing, and we have to work together to 'get out of the Canglan grassland'.

For this reason, several golden elixirs in the center of the village have formulated related tasks for everyone, and everyone needs to independently choose one of them to perform together.

For example: go hunting animals.

Most of the monks here are Foundation Establishment or Golden Elixir, and it stands to reason that they have all been fasted, and they don't need to eat at all.

But there is a lack of aura here, and third-tier monster meat can replenish aura to a certain extent, so it has also become an important material for monks to improve their cultivation base.

Another example: go out to steal spiritual mines.

The reason why it is called sneak digging is because there are many monsters here, and the more aura there is, the easier it is to attract monsters.

However, bat-type monsters are still social monsters.

Therefore, there will be a large number of high-level monsters gathered in every place with spirit mines. Confronting the enemy head-on to seize the spiritual mine is not worth the loss, so I can only find a place to dig secretly.

This is very dangerous.

But there is no way, because there is not enough aura here.

When Chen Ping was in Xihuang, he hardly saw monks directly using spirit stones as resources to supplement spirit energy, and they basically used them as trading currency.

The reason is very simple, the efficacy of spirit stones to replenish spirit energy is far inferior to that of elixirs of the same value.

Rather than using spirit stones directly, it is better to exchange them for qi-invigorating pills.

It is far less valuable than buying a magic robe with the effect of gathering spirits.

But it's different here, the elixir is scarce, and even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it.

In this case, it is also very common to use spirit stones directly for cultivation, although this is not cost-effective.

Another example: go out to explore the ruins.

Many sects existed here thousands of years ago, and the relics left by these sects may leave some clues to get out of Canglan Forest, or resources that are beneficial for everyone to survive and gain a foothold here.

So worth exploring.

The rest are: going out to explore ancient formations, running errands and communicating between this village and other villages hundreds of thousands of miles away, etc.

Of course, drawing talismans, refining tools, and alchemy for everyone are naturally very popular.

Chen Ping doesn't want to go out to take risks, so amulet is the best choice for him to complete the task.

Among the golden armor talismans he painted, they are divided into two categories.

One category, very perfect, for your own use.

One category, which is not so perfect, deliberately lowers the quality, and is used for cross-cutting.

Of course, even a not-so-perfect talisman is no worse than the golden armor talisman on the market, but it will make him look less dazzling.

this day.

When Chen Ping was drawing talismans in the quiet room, three monks suddenly came to visit.

They are all Foundation Establishment monks.

Some time ago, I went out with the team to perform missions. I just returned to the village today. I heard that a new neighbor came, and he was a foundation-building monk. So I came to visit Chen Ping with the attitude of fellow monks.

Among the three, the leader is a middle-aged monk surnamed Lu. The other two are a young female cultivator and a burly male cultivator.

Because they had just returned from a mission, all three of them were wounded.

After some exchanges, Chen Ping curiously said:

"What tasks are the three fellow Taoists going to perform?"

"This time I'm going to detect spiritual mines that are suitable for stealthy digging. Hey, it's the same for any task. I wait for the foundation-building monks to be low-level, so I can only run behind the Jindan seniors, and I can only follow their orders." Brother Lu said helplessly.

The other burly male cultivator complained:

"Before I entered the Canglan Grassland, I was a little elder in the sect. I didn't think of it here. I only deserve to be called around by others. Damn, why would you steal mines for others in the original sect?"

this……

Do as the Romans do, why do you still think about your original identity?

This was originally a very sad thing, but Chen Ping couldn't help but listen to his complaining tone.

This kind of gap is really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I can draw talismans, so I just need to hand in some talismans regularly, without going out to take risks.

"Forget about minerals, and let me wait to steal them in dangerous places. They Jindan choose a place for themselves." The strong male cultivator then complained: "It's really useless to live."

Chen Ping smiled and said nothing.

"What missions did Fellow Daoist Chen take?" Brother Lu asked.

Chen Ping nodded and said:

"I am a Talisman Master."

The three of them were stunned and looked at Chen Ping.

"Good luck, Fulu master, Fulu master doesn't have to go out to take risks. Hey, Master also asked me if I would like to learn to draw talismans. At that time, I thought that drawing talismans required patience and I couldn't bear it. On the contrary, hunting animals is much more interesting. This It's all over, there are too many monsters outside to hunt." Brother Lu envied.

"It's all fate." The female cultivator, who spoke less, interjected in a rare way, with a soft voice.

"Huh? Fellow Daoist Chen has a strong breath, and the Dao rhyme overflows. Could it be that he has already realized it? Could it be that he also fell into this grassland when he was out wandering?" Brother Lu found that Chen Ping's cultivation seems to be not low.

"Yes, fellow Daoist Lu too?" Chen Ping said.

Brother Lu patted his thigh:

"That's right. Hey, I didn't find the great enlightenment, and ended up falling here. Chen Daoyou is luckier than me, at least I have a great enlightenment. This grassland is not easy to roam, and there are monsters everywhere. But, hey, let fate , Li Daoyou was also here to attack the alchemy at the beginning, it's a pity..."

In their introduction, it turned out that among the few of them, there was another Li Daoyou, who was similar to Chen Ping, and entered here after a great realization.

Forming alchemy is inherently difficult, and there is still a lack of spiritual energy here, so the alchemy shattered and disappeared.

Luck turned into misfortune.

"Why don't you ask a senior Jindan to help gather spirits?" Chen Ping regretted.

"Golden core gathers spirits?" Brother Lu said with a smile:

"Let's not say that not all golden elixirs know this kind of secret technique. Even if they do, who is willing to help you if there are not enough resources? Does Chen Daoyou know how much the primordial spirit of the golden elixir is consumed after the artificial gathering of spirits? Hey, how can you be so kind? Even my own master is not willing to act like this.”

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback.

I didn't expect that the artificial gathering of spirits would consume such a large amount of energy for the monks themselves.

He glanced back in the direction of Xiyue Cave Mansion, but said nothing.

"Didn't Fellow Daoist Pei still have a golden pill? Anyway, you haven't realized it yet, so give it to fellow Daoist Chen. One more golden pill is more guaranteed. In case Fellow Daoist Chen successfully forms the pill, it can protect you in the future." The burly monk suggested.

This burly monk obviously didn't know much about speech skills, how could he say this in front of the two of them.

Chen Ping obviously didn't need this golden pill.

He had one himself, and Xiyue prepared one for her.

enough.

At this time, if he spent some spirit stones to buy the golden elixir, he would naturally be willing, but to get a golden elixir for nothing, this is a great favor, and it will not be easy to pay back in the future.

When Chen Ping was thinking about how to refuse without being rude, the female cultivator glanced at the burly cultivator, hesitated and said:

"This golden pill is not easy to come by, I still want to keep it for myself, in case I realize it later. I'm sorry, Chen Daoyou."

so good?

Don't even think about the reason.

Chen Ping went down the donkey road along the slope:

"Golden pills are extremely rare in the first place, so how can they be given away at will. Fellow Daoist Pei doesn't need to apologize, I understand."

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and Brother Lu's EQ increased a lot, so he quickly changed the topic.

Everyone chatted for a while, because of the existence of this embarrassing topic, after a while, the three got up to say goodbye and left.

After the three of them left Chen Pingdong Mansion, Brother Lu said softly:

"Fellow Daoist Pei is confused. In fact, you can give a golden elixir. A golden elixir may be worth a lot in the outside world, but it is worthless here. It is a bet. If Chen Daoyou can successfully form the alchemy, with this kindness, Chen Daoyou is Talisman Master, will your days not be easy in the future?"

"Whether it's possible to form an alchemy or not is still a question." Brother Pei muttered:

"What if one day I'm lucky enough to enter the teleportation array by mistake and walk out? Where can I go to get another golden pill?"

Brother Lu sighed.

Here, it is not easy for a foundation-building cultivator to cling to a Golden Core cultivator, but it is much easier to cling to a potential Golden Core cultivator.

It's a pity that I don't have golden elixir.

But he didn't say anything more.

Everyone has different options.

What Brother Pei said was not completely unreasonable, if one was lucky enough to leave the Canglan Grassland, then this golden pill would be invaluable.

On the other side, after seeing off the three of them, Chen Ping returned to the house to continue drawing symbols.

He originally wanted to bother with the cultivation of spiritual plants, but he had seen around the village a few days ago, and there were not many types of spiritual plants here, all of which were relatively low-level, and the effect was not obvious, so he didn't bother to bother.

Concentrate on waiting for Xiyue to leave the customs.

Under the influence of spirit wine and elixir, Xiyue recovered very smoothly. Three months later, she had restored her soul to the level of the next day, and she walked out of the quiet room smoothly.

The complexion is much better than before.

"Is there still spirit wine?" In the cave mansion, Xiyue asked shyly.

this.

Just wanted to get drunk.

Chen Ping took out a pot:

"It's not much, save some drink."

Xiyue took the spirit wine, always feeling that this way of speaking and doing things was not right.

Just like Chen Ping is the master and she is the apprentice.

She glanced at Chen Ping and said coldly:

"It's not in vain. Is there any doubts about the Ice Body God's Tome? But it's okay to ask, I have been quite thorough in this secret art back then."

There was a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Look put your proud.

Chen Ping thought for a while, and recalled a confusion that he encountered when he practiced this secret method until he was close to Dzogchen, and he figured it out under the guidance of the panel.

Then asked out.

Hearing this, Xiyue froze for a while while holding the flagon and raising her head to drink, she frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"Maybe it's been too long, and I forgot. But this question is too profound, even if you don't understand it, it won't affect your practice of this secret technique to the level of proficiency. Change another question."

Chen Ping asked another question.

"Hey, it may be that the injury was too serious this time, so I don't remember many things. This problem is also very profound, and it will not affect your practice of spells. You can change it." Xiyue said without blushing.

Chen Ping asked another question.

"Hey, it's not that I didn't figure it out. I made it clear before that this time the injury was really... By the way, which sect do you come from? What sect do you belong to?" Xiyue pretended that her memory hadn't fully recovered yet. , 'thought' for a while, then quickly glanced at Chen Ping again:

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this, you can form alchemy without the ice body divine tome. Let's form alchemy."

This guy has practiced the ice body to such a deep level?

Questions are far beyond the scope of normal understanding.

Xiyue exhaled, but fortunately she was clever and avoided embarrassment.

Recalling that in the letter to Chen Ping back then, there was a sarcasm that Chen Ping would probably not be able to learn. This guy should have forgotten about it, right?

It's been so long.

No, he did it on purpose just now, right?

It is obviously revenge for this seat.

hateful!

Chen Ping did not expect Xiyue to have such a rich imagination, and he did not expose her last stubbornness. Thinking of what Brother Lu and the other three said, he asked:

"I heard that forcibly gathering spirits will consume a lot of mental energy for monks. You have just recovered, so there will be no problem?"

"Joke. What's the problem with me? Although my strength is suppressed to around the second level of Jindan, but the experience is still there. Is it comparable to their Jindan?" Xi Yueqi didn't say anything.

Chen Ping nodded.

That's good.

That being the case, it is better to form the alchemy sooner rather than later.

The two immediately worked together to form the alchemy.

Xiyue returned the futon to Chen Ping, and at the same time gave Chen Ping a porcelain bottle containing golden pills and three bottles of five elements.

He took out another extremely feminine robe and handed it to Chen Ping.

"Why do you give me this?" Chen Ping was speechless.

"There is not enough aura here. This robe is engraved with a sixth-level clothing gathering spirit array, which is not comparable to the one on yours. Although it is a female robe. But, there are only the two of us in this cave, and no one will laugh at you. Is this dignified Nascent Soul still laughing at you?" Xi Yue said earnestly.

The corner of the mouth inadvertently twitched a small amount.

This cheap master is definitely intentional.

Although the robes are divided into men's and women's styles, many robes are deliberately neutral when weaving in order to broaden the applicable population, so that they will not be so obvious.

For example, the standard legal robes of some sects do not distinguish between men and women.

But this one is extremely feminine.

"Master, do you still have a masculine robe in your storage bag?" Chen Ping asked.

"Why does this seat have male robes? No, this is the only one." Xiyue said with eyes dodging.

Chen Ping took out a jug of spiritual wine and uncorked the jug:

"Hey, this jug of wine is the best one among this batch of unnamed wines. It was originally intended to be reserved for Master, but now that I think that there is not enough spiritual energy here, it may be beneficial to the formation of alchemy. Master, wait, wait. The disciple will form the pill after drinking it."

Chen Ping made a gesture and was ready to drink it up.

"Huh? In this storage bag of this seat, there is actually a man's magic robe, which is also a sixth-level clothing gathering spirit array. I haven't found it before. It's strange."

Xiyue took out a gray robe from the storage bag, with a look of surprise on her face.

...Hehe, isn't there no?

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping handed the spirit wine to Xiyue, and took the robe.

Put it on decisively.

'Hiss~'

The effect of gathering spirits has been greatly improved by the naked eye.

It is good to have a Nascent Soul Master!

The high-level robes are free to give away.

And it's not just the Spirit Gathering Formation, the ranks of the Wind Control Formation, Defense Formation and other costume formations are also not low.

After experiencing it for a while, Chen Ping put the futon on the ice jade bed, put two bottles of Golden Elixir and five bottles of Five Elements Liquid beside him, and took a deep breath.

The moment has finally come.

The most critical moment during foundation building.

Xiyue also refrained from the joking mood just now, her expression became serious, and said:

"There is a big difference between alchemy and foundation building. The process of alchemy itself will be very short. This seat will activate the spirit gathering in due course according to your state. After the alchemy is completed, the rest is the promotion stage of the golden alchemy. The seat will stop the gathering of spirits. Artificial gathering of spirits cannot last for too long, if you feel that something is wrong with you, you will cast the spirit gathering spell again."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping thanked earnestly.

"Although the alchemy process is extremely dangerous, but your soul is strong, and the ice body divine tome...and you have practiced well. I see that your spiritual power reserve seems to be good. Don't worry too much at all, just relax your mind." Xiyue was calm. road.

"Thank you, Master, for your reminder." Chen Ping nodded.

Xiyue took out nearly a hundred spirit stones, and after one of the spirit stones was crushed, she 'pushed' the spirit energy towards the direction where Chen Ping was sitting.

Seeing Chen Ping looking over, she calmly said:

"This is the best spirit stone."

"Originally, there is no need to do this for forming alchemy. Usually, it is enough to find a place with plenty of spiritual energy. No one uses top-quality spiritual stones to increase spiritual energy, but there is a lack of spiritual energy here, and top-quality spiritual stones can replenish some spiritual energy."

One top-grade spirit stone is equal to one thousand top-grade spirit stones.

One hundred top-grade spirit stones equals ten million medium-grade spirit stones.

This expense alone cannot be afforded by the Foundation Establishment monks in this village.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping was grateful in his heart.

"Create alchemy, don't waste your spiritual energy."

Come on then.

Form a pill.
