I will survive with proficiency

After returning from the shop, Chen Ping dried the animal skins in an empty quiet room in the cave.

Some of these animal skins have already been dried in the sun, while others were recently exchanged and need to be further dried.

After dealing with it, I returned to my quiet room, and after laying a layer of raw stone ore, I started to practice the Five Qi Chaoyuan Tianzhang.

The current state is already a progress bar of '99/100'.

Breakthrough into the second layer, just recently.

After eight years of entering the golden core, the golden core in the dantian has become more round than before. The true essence wrapped around the golden core is also more mellow.

Around the golden core three-dimensional space, five small flames like candles were lit, burning slowly.

At this moment, under the operation of the kung fu, the five beams of flames are connected into a whole with the lines of true essence.

The five elements interact and form a seamless whole.

Between the five beams of flames and the golden elixir is a layer of 'spherical' air layer composed of true essence, which wraps the golden elixir like a elixir furnace.

The golden elixir fuels the elixir fire, and the elixir fire refines the golden elixir.

so repeatedly.

Form the trend of the five qi toward the Yuan.

After the spiritual energy inhaled by Chen Ping was purified, it was collected in the dantian by the golden virtual bridge, and turned into traces of pure and white true essence, which was continuously supplied to the golden elixir, danding and danhuo.

Chen Ping understood Vipassana.

While running the exercises, using Yuanshen as an auxiliary tool, the interaction of the five beams of pill fire is continuously accelerated to help it refine the golden pill.

From this perspective, the entire body of the monk and the primordial spirit itself are both tangible and intangible alchemy furnaces, which jointly refine the inner alchemy in the dantian.

And the inner face of the dantian is just a microcosm.

Slowly, Chen Ping felt that his thoughts became more and more accessible, as if he was detached from the world.

In the dantian, the 'pill furnace' between the pill fire and the golden pill began to shake violently.

Even the golden core that was suspended also vibrated.

The five bunches of pill fire surrounding the pill furnace began to flicker, and the flames were trying to grow upwards, but they seemed to be bound by some kind of restraint, making it difficult to break free or grow larger.

Knowing that Chen Ping had reached the critical point of breakthrough, he stepped up his efforts again and focused on his skills. The raw stone ore on the jade bed quickly became dim, and countless spiritual energy quickly gathered towards him, flowing out strands of pure white light.

A large amount of true essence gathers in Dantian.

It turns out that the Jindan shock is more powerful

Sudden.

Centering on the golden elixir, a burst of breath immediately covered it, causing turmoil, and the elixir fire around the alchemy furnace was swept away by the gust of wind and almost extinguished.

After the strong wind passed, the flames suddenly shot up.

The small flames grew in an instant and turned into raging fires, forming a sea of ​​flames along the lines between the five bundles of flames.

panel.

[Realm: Golden Core (second floor): 1/100. 】

[Shouyuan: 91/494. 】

Chen Ping couldn't help being overjoyed.

After eight years of Jindan, he finally reached the second level of Jindan.

Cultivating immortals all the way, layer by layer.

Regardless of the realm of just one level, above the golden core, it is as difficult as reaching the sky every level, and sometimes a small level can hold a monk for countless years.

What's more, it is in the Canglan Grassland where resources are scarce.

Chen Ping couldn't help being unhappy.

'The life expectancy increased by 16 years. '

'not bad. The increase in lifespan will always be longer than the time it takes to break through a small realm, so the accumulated lifespan will be used for consumption when breaking through a big realm, so as not to break through in a hurry and end up in a dead end. '

'With the second layer of Jindan as a guarantee, the confinement technique may be able to practice faster and leave the Canglan grassland earlier. '

Chen Ping put his consciousness in his dantian again.

After stopping the exercises at this moment, the link between the five pill fires disappeared, the sea of ​​fire disappeared, and the five integrated pill fires became isolated pill fires again.

But the flames were much bigger than before.

Burn quietly.

Chen Ping knew that the reason why he was able to break through to the second floor of Jindan in just eight years was not only because of the inexhaustible raw ore of spirit stones here.

No matter how many raw spirit stones there are, they are only replenishing spirit energy. When the spiritual energy is strong enough to a certain level, continuing to increase the spiritual energy will not increase the ease of practice.

The reason why it is fast, one of the important factors is the fire of the five elements.

If there was no liquid of the five elements when the pill was formed, and the hardened pill was chosen, then the five elements in the body at this moment will be out of balance, and the balance of yin and yang will be out of balance.

The speed of practice will slow down, and when breaking through the small realm, it will be difficult for the pill fire to grow, and it will be difficult for the 'sea of ​​fire' to form.

These will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of practice.

Even if there are some means to make up for the elements of the five elements in the golden core realm, the effect is far less than that obtained by refining the fluid of the five elements during the formation of the alchemy.

From this point of view, it wasn't all bad to agree to Xiyue's adventure into the wild forest.

Otherwise, based on his original situation, he would probably choose to harden the pill.

Chen Ping continued to perceive the all-round changes brought about by the second layer of Jindan.

The range of spiritual consciousness has increased by another hundred miles, reaching a distance of more than 800 miles.

All other parameters also have positive feedback.

After experiencing the effects brought by the second layer of Jindan, Chen Ping continued to open the panel and glanced at his spell interface.

[Spell: Earth Dungeon: Consummation. Wooden escape (grandmaster): 632/1000. Water escape (grandmaster): 861/1000. All things spring (Great Master): 613/1000. Other (omitted). 】

[Secret technique: Pluto Soul Splitting Art (first floor) (Expert): 679/1000. Taiqing Imprisonment Curse (Level 1) (Grandmaster): 988/1000. Other (omitted). 】

Because in the past few years, he didn't spend time learning skills such as drawing symbols and formations, and put all his energy on the above-mentioned spells and exercises, so the progress is not bad.

Especially the Taiqing Imprisonment Curse, which has almost reached the level of a 'Grand Master'.

Runes have learned 87 runes.

It's going pretty fast.

But the closer you get to the 'Great Master', the slower and slower the progress.

Chen Ping had the feeling that he had practiced the 'Green Glow Sword' until he became a 'Grand Master'.

This means that his realm has become the biggest bottleneck that hinders the cultivation of secret arts.

Now that he has been promoted to the second level of Golden Core, he may make up for it a little bit, but after all, it is still the early and middle stage of Golden Core.

Combining his previous experience in practicing Qingmang Sword, Chen Ping vaguely felt that he could only practice the 'first layer' of the confinement technique simply by relying on his early and mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.

The second floor is probably inaccessible.

Even the late Golden Core may not be able to practice the second level.

But fortunately, I will reach the 'Grand Master' soon. Once I enter the last level, it means that I have practiced this spell to the peak, and I can slowly discover the shortcomings of this confinement technique in the process of practice. Participate in improving the confinement technique.

Comprehend things other than imprisonment.

This process may allow Chen Ping to understand the key elements of unlocking the confinement technique.

'Soon. '

'The next step is to focus on learning this confinement technique, set a small goal, and strive to get out of the Canglan grassland within two or three years. '

Chen Ping got up and paced with his hands behind his back.

such a pity.

The daughter-in-law is not around, and there is no one to share such a big matter of breaking through the realm.

correct.

And Master.

Chen Ping smiled, walked out of the quiet room resolutely, and knocked on Master's door.

"Master, are you there?"

"come in."

"Okay." Chen Ping pushed the door open and entered.

Xiyue was at her desk concentrating on confinement techniques, and when she heard Chen Ping coming in, she didn't look up, she just asked calmly:

"Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Chen Ping walked into the quiet room filled with a faint fragrance with his hands behind his back.

When I walked in from the door, I could just see Xiyue's profile sitting in front of the desk, her curves were graceful, her profile was beautiful, and her beauty was delicious.

Chen Ping walked up to her and asked calmly:

"Master, you have been here in Canglan Grassland for eight years, how is your cultivation going?"

"What progress can be made?" Xiyue didn't raise her head:

"Resources are scarce here, and it is almost enough to ensure that the spiritual energy is sufficient without affecting the foundation. Don't say that the Nascent Soul cultivation base of this seat is not suitable for promotion, even if there is no cultivation base suppression, it is difficult to promote. It's not easy either."

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Oh, it's okay, this disciple just came to tell Master that I'm on the second level of Golden Core." Chen Ping said calmly.

heard the words.

Xiyue froze her little hands flipping through the runes, and looked up at Chen Ping standing beside her, her face full of surprise.

Seeing Xiyue's expression, Chen Ping felt that since he came to share the joy with Master, now that Master is already happy, that's fine.

"That's nothing, I'm leaving." Chen Ping walked out of Xiyue's quiet room with his hands behind his hands, and closed the stone door.

Um,

As long as Master is happy.

Behind him, Xiyue looked at Chen Ping's figure, and didn't turn her head until it disappeared.

Perceived Chen Ping's aura and spiritual appearance have taken a big step forward.

It is indeed the second floor of Jindan.

Canglan Grassland lacks resources, and it is really not easy to achieve a small breakthrough here. This village has lasted for hundreds of years, and not many people can get promoted.

But it's normal to think about it. There are not many monks in this village who can practice as hard as Chen Ping.

In terms of penance, Chen Ping is unique.

Over the past eight years, the number of times I have left the village can be counted on one's fingers. On weekdays, at most, he went to Feng Li's next door to drink tea, and spent most of the rest of the time in the quiet room.

This kind of mind is not simple.

Besides, Xiyue has seen Chen Ping before the alchemy, so it can be said that she has made the most solid preparations for the alchemy. When the pill is formed, there is a complete liquid of the five elements.

The foundation itself is not bad.

She laughed dumbly, feeling happy for Chen Ping in her heart.

This cheap apprentice, who was accepted in exchange for benefits, now seems to be more prominent than those named disciples of the Ninth Peak.

Also more fun.

There is a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and you know how to repay kindness with kindness.

... This apprentice confiscated the loss.

After returning, he can recommend it to the head of Tianyan Sect and give Chen Ping an official identity card. It's a pity to stay in Ling Xiaozong.

No, it's best to stay on the Ninth Peak.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly.

But when he suddenly thought of something, his smile froze.

wrong.

Why did this guy ask me about my cultivation before sharing the joy with me?

How can this be shared joy?

Obviously, he came here to show off to me.

She slapped her palm on the desk, her proud chest rising and falling.

The air is shaking and cold.

Why did I show a surprised expression just now? Isn't it enough to act calm?

Damn, it was pretended by him.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, she glanced at the manuscript of the forbidden technique on the table, and secretly made up her mind to hurry up and study the forbidden technique... Wait, when the technique of confinement is mastered, I will let you know what 'sharing joy' is. .

the other side.

Chen Ping felt refreshed after sharing the joy with Master. Go back to the quiet room and start practicing the Taiqing Confinement Technique.

Unlike other mystic arts, Imprisonment uses runes to form spells. The secret technique after practice will neither form offensive power nor defensive power, nor will it produce positive feedback on the practitioner's cultivation base.

In a sense, it's more like a skill.

At this moment, Chen Ping used the seven-star Longyuan sword as a tool, and the heaven and earth as a talisman paper, poured spiritual power into it, and played with the sword lightly in the quiet room.

The rune borrows the essence of the snake and swallows the air of three nines, and turns it into a curse of imprisonment.

As the tip of the sword wandered, complex runes formed in the air one by one, and then disappeared, and the next one was formed...

This is the difference between the confinement technique and the talisman. The confinement technique is not limited to any medium or any form.

Xixiu continued.

...

A few days later, Chen Ping went outside the village to 'obtain resources' according to the annual practice.

Not long after leaving the village, I found a relatively remote reed field. Naturally, I didn't look for resources, but took this opportunity to learn the wood escape technique.

The principles of wood escape and earth escape are similar, and the limitations are also similar. Escapism has a time limit and a speed limit... and all of these are related to the degree of fusion between the monk and the wood element.

Of course, there is no depth to the wood escape technique.

Chen Ping's wood escape technique has already reached the level of 'Grandmaster: 632/1000'.

At this moment, Chen Ping touched a reed, and after a spell, he disappeared instantly and merged with the reed.

Thoughts move slightly and flow quickly along the reeds. As long as there is contact between two reeds, they can flow smoothly to the other reed along the touch.

'Don't say, this spell can be used for quick escape in some dense forests, maybe faster than flying to avoid obstacles in the jungle. '

'not bad. '

Chen Ping practiced wooden escape for a while, found a stream, and practiced water escape for a while.

The principle is similar.

And because of the special reason of the fluidity of water quality, it is more studious than Tudun.

After staying for about a few hours, I felt that the time was almost up, so I returned by the same route.

"Chen Daoyou just came back from looking for resources?" Feng Li, who was in front of the cave, greeted Chen Ping when he was about to return to the cave.

Chen Ping said helplessly:

"Yeah, the aura here is too low, you can't find it."

In fact, on the way back to the village, there were quite a few such greetings.

Chen Ping answered exactly the same.

"That's true." Feng Li echoed, and at the same time noticed the change in Chen Ping's breath, he was slightly taken aback, and congratulated:

"It seems that Chen Daoyou has not only gained resources, but also gained opportunities when he went out these years. He has also made progress in cultivation. Congratulations."

On the other side of the yard, Feng Li's Taoist companion who was marinating monster meat heard this, raised his head slightly to look at Chen Ping, said nothing, and continued to do his own work.

Chen Ping's breath holding technique is still at the foundation level, although it can be used. But in terms of hidden cultivation, it is not enough to get in close contact with Jindan and be seriously scrutinized.

Such as this moment.

Chen Ping hurriedly said:

"Feng Daoyou is being polite. It's just a small realm in the early stage of Jindan. It's not worth mentioning. There is no chance. It's just that we got some insights when we attacked the mysterious ruins together."

"That's also a chance." Feng Li said with a smile:

"So many monks have gone to the mysterious ruins, and I haven't seen a few monks gain any great insight."

"..."

Chen Ping chatted for a while, on the grounds that his sister was still waiting for him in the quiet room, ended the topic and went back to his cave.
