I will survive with proficiency

Chapter 383 Chen Ping's First Apprentice

Sanxiu City. Liang Mansion.

Brother Liang took a few talismans handed over by the butler, and carefully observed them:

"Are these all the new talismans that are on sale at the new store in Yunfu?"

The steward hurriedly stepped forward two steps, and respectfully introduced the information he had learned:

"Reporting to the young master, these are the talismans bought by the old slave from the new store in Yunfu, and they are called bamboo talismans."

"Young master, the promotional activities in Yunfu are very effective. Almost everyone in the city is empty, and everyone who buys or doesn't buy is there to join in the fun. Should we also take some corresponding promotional measures?"

Because of the Liang family's craftsmanship in magic robes, when it was still one of the four great cities for cultivating immortals, the Crane City led by the Liang family was the first of the four great cities for cultivating immortals.

Most responsive to business.

Although the Yun Mansion is backed by Jin Dan, Ling Xiaozong encourages fair competition among families, and it is precisely because of this that as long as extreme measures are not taken, there is no need to worry about offending Chen Ping. Besides, there is also a peak master standing behind the Liang family.

Brother Liang carefully groped for these talismans.

The quality of these talismans was found to be really good.

When he touched an evil talisman, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but focus on observing it.

The quality and drawing method of this kind of talisman became more and more familiar the more he looked at it, and subconsciously reminded him of when the Lingxiao Sect fell and everyone lived in Luoyue City, he once bought thousands of evil-killing talismans from a monk .

The evil-killing talisman in his hand obviously couldn't be compared with the evil-killing talismans bought back then.

However, the technique of the lines of the talismans clearly has the shadow of the drawing techniques of those evil-killing talismans.

"Young master?" Before Brother Liang could reply, the housekeeper called again softly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Brother Liang looked up.

The butler was slightly taken aback, the young master in front of him was always calm and steady in doing things, why was he a little absent-minded at this moment?

The butler suggested:

"The old slave is saying that our Liang family can imitate the Yun family and adopt a series of promotional activities, especially the event of "Putting Xi Xi". With my Liang family's business background, it will not be weaker than the Yun family."

Brother Liang looked at the talisman again and shook his head:

"No need, promotion is just a means, not the essential reason for the popularity of bamboo talismans."

"Quality is high."

"And" Brother Liang combined the ins and outs of the situation, he guessed that the person he met back then selling evil charms must be Chen Ping, and sighed: "Besides, in terms of quality, no matter how hard we try, we can't do it. It may surpass the Yun family."

If only this group of talisman masters in Yunfu are excellent, then their Liang family can still have a chance to win back. But if the reason for all this can be traced back to Chen Ping, and the level Chen Ping achieved decades ago is already at the ceiling, it means that there is no chance of a comeback.

"Why?" The butler was shocked.

It is not the style of my young master to admit defeat before competing.

why?

Because these talismans are far from reaching Chen Ping's level, as the Yun family finds more and more talented talisman masters, the level of bamboo talismans will only get higher and higher.

Unsurpassed heights.

Brother Liang put down the talisman:

"We can't surpass this quality. Let's gradually close down our talisman shop."

The butler hesitated again.

He is not a talisman teacher, so he can't see how big the difference in the quality of talismans is.

But the few talismans in front of him made the young master so desperate?

Brother Liang stopped talking.

For him, the most important thing in business is determination. Before the other two families have fully reacted, they should give priority to withdrawing from this most competitive field, and perhaps the losses can be minimized.

The days are as dull as water.

Chen Ping spends his days busy.

To his surprise, the speed at which bamboo charms occupied the high-end market far exceeded his expectations.

What surprised him even more was that shortly after the bamboo talisman opened, the Liang family's official talisman shop was the first to announce its closure.

It has developed very smoothly since then.

Members have done a lot.

More than three years passed slowly.

It has been five years since he returned to Xiaozhufeng, and his Golden Elixir Kung Fu 'Five Qi Chaoyuan Tianzhang' has gone a step further and reached the level of 'mastery'.

The soul-defensive spell "Pluto Soul Splitting Art" has been practiced to the second level of "proficient" level.

now.

In the backyard of Xiaozhufeng, two fires were burning quietly.

After Chen Ping disappeared from one fire pile and escaped from another fire pile in an instant, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

The fire escape technique was finally complete.

'Try the effect. '

Chen Ping thought of this, and shouted:

"Lanhua, bring some black scorched ore."

"Okay, Patriarch." A crisp voice came.

A moment later, a little maid with two dragonfly braids came running over bouncing around holding a small bag of black scorched ore.

This is the new maid on Little Bamboo Peak.

The three maids Xiaohong bought back in Tianyan City are now very old and have become nuns, and they don't have the energy to take care of Xiaozhufeng.

It is also inconvenient to serve Chen Ping anymore.

Therefore, Yun Haitang transferred the three of them to Yunfu to do some lighter things, and transferred three trained maids to Xiaozhufeng.

Orchids are one of them.

After Lanhua placed the black coke ore, Chen Ping used the full-level dragon flame technique to ignite it.

Black scorched ore is an ore with a very high burning durability. Even under the burning of a full-level golden core spell like Dragon Flame, a pile of black scorched ore can keep burning for an hour without extinguishing.

After the flames were ignited, Chen Ping flew out of Xiaozhufeng with a few bags of black scorched ore, went west to the forest two thousand miles away, and lit a pile of black scorched ore. Then, multiple fires were lit in different areas within a range of three thousand to five thousand miles.

Finally, I returned to the fire pile two thousand miles away.

Touch the flame with one hand.

Thinking of Xiaozhufeng.

"Lieyan Xuanzhen, help me escape from the fire."

With a spell, Chen Ping immediately disappeared from the scene. At the same time, Chen Ping appeared out of thin air in the backyard of Xiaozhufeng.

'Sure enough, after Dzogchen, you can accurately point to the fire escape. '

Chen Ping was overjoyed.

Originally, the biggest characteristic of Huo Dun was its 'uncontrollability'.

Fire escape is random, it doesn't matter where you want to escape to, it is very likely that you want to escape to Xiaozhufeng, and maybe you escape to other places with fires.

There are hundreds of thousands of households in Sanxiu City at the foot of the mountain. It is already night, and most of the homes are brightly lit. This means that there are countless distractors.

If you are not proficient in Xixiu, there is a high probability that you will flee to other people's homes, and maybe you will be greeted by random killings.

But he precisely escaped to Xiaozhu Peak.

'How about trying it at a longer distance? '

He tried to escape into the forest again.

After several experiments, it was concluded that the furthest distance of Huo Dun is about four thousand miles.

The greater the distance, the worse the accuracy.

When Chen Ping tried four thousand miles for the last time, he could no longer escape into the target fire, but escaped into other nearby places.

The general direction and area are still controllable.

The farther the fire escape distance, the stronger the backlash.

For a distance of 4,000 miles, he could fire escape three times in a row at most, and the fourth time in a row, not only did his accuracy drop sharply, but his body and soul also suffered great damage and backlash.

But this is an escape technique, not for rushing, three times is enough.

That is to say, he reached the full level. For other Xixiu, just one or two times is already a huge challenge.

…not bad.

...In terms of means of escape, it is more practical than the other escape techniques.

After leaving the backyard to the servant girl to take care of, Chen Ping returned to the quiet room and continued to practice the 'Seven Injuries Technique'.

This spell is an ancient spell.

Compared with the current spells, it is much more difficult to understand.

Therefore, the practice will be much slower.

After more than three years, he has only reached the level of 'grandmaster'.

Because he hadn't reached consummation, Chen Ping rarely let Xu Ruyan out, not once or twice a year, for fear that he would be backlashed by the prolonged contact with evil spirits.

At this moment, Xu Ruyan was released rarely, lying on the window of Chen Ping's quiet room and looking out.

In the three or four years since she came to Xiaozhufeng, she has never been to a place other than this quiet room.

Curious about the outside world.

"Want to go out?"

"think."

"Then practice the Seven Injury Technique well, and you can go out when you are proficient."

Xu Ruyan jumped off the window sill and glanced at her mouth.

How can the Seven Injury Technique be so easy to practice?

Over the years, she has already figured out where the sense of epiphany that comes from time to time comes from?

It was from his own master, Chen Ping.

If it weren't for the connection with Chen Ping, she might not be able to reach half of the progress of the Seven Injuries Technique.

But even with Chen Ping's insights, if she doesn't work hard, she can't keep up with Chen Ping's progress. So she didn't do anything these years, and spent all her time practicing this seven-injury technique.

is true all the time.

Because apart from the Seven Injuries Technique, she has nothing else to do, no other place to go.

She came over and squatted beside Chen Ping, holding her face in her hands, looking up at Chen Ping, curiously said:

"Master, are there many powerful monks in the Lingxiao Sect?"

"Many, everyone wears a lot of evil-killing talismans." Chen Ping didn't look at her, and answered as if nothing had happened while flipping through the file by himself.

Xu Ruyan shrank her neck:

"Then, is it much stronger than the master?"

"There are many, there are seven of them who are as powerful as me." Chen Ping said indifferently:

"Why? Want to go out and see?"

"I don't want to, I don't want to." Xu Ruyan waved her hands repeatedly.

Seven is too many.

Moreover, other monks carry a large number of evil-killing talismans, which is too dangerous.

Chen Ping turned his head and glanced at her squatting beside him, and said with great interest:

"How do evil creatures like you usually improve your strength?"

Ghost cultivation is a forbidden technique, and it is rare to find such books, at least Lingxiaozong does not have it.

So Chen Ping knew very little about Xie Chong.

"Evil, Yan'er knows that you humans call me that." Xu Ruyan curled her lips, and said with a look of indifference:

"Swallowing remnant souls, inhaling filth. These can make us continue to grow. Before Yan'er entered the master's magic weapon, her consciousness was chaotic, and most of the others were the same, so it is impossible for us to practice exercises and sorcery. Well, they all grow on their own.”

"Consciousness is chaotic?" Chen Ping thought of the flower demon he met on the way from Lianyun City to Yunzhong City during the Qi refining period.

"The same is true for the same kind transformed from remnant souls. But the evil spirits transformed by certain natural essences may be different. At least that's what Yan'er understands, and it's also possible that Yan'er has too little experience and limited understanding." Xu Ruyan said.

Chen Ping nodded.

Xu Ruyan did not know everything well.

Still have to find an opportunity to learn about this information.

Xu Ruyan's strength is still too weak, if she can mention the strength of the third level, it will be truly valuable.

"By the way, master, do you want to find another evil spirit and keep it in this magic weapon? Yan'er knows one of the same kind, very powerful." Xu Ruyan said with a smile.

"You want a companion, right?" Chen Ping gave her a white look.

This guy is also black-bellied.

In order to have a chat partner, he actually took the initiative to betray his own kind.

"How can there be? Yan'er is thinking of the master." Xu Ruyan blushed when her thoughts were exposed. Then he said with a smile: "That evil spirit is one level stronger than Yan'er."

"Third level? Then you can't go." Chen Ping was speechless.

He has reason to suspect that his ghost wants to harm his master.

And there is evidence.

Xu Ruyan was also speechless.

This master of mine is so powerful, he caught her with one hand at the beginning, but he is not very willing to go out.

"Hurry up and go back and practice the Seven Injuries Technique." Chen Ping hurried away.

"Oh." Xu Ruyan pouted.

Walking back with Miaoman's figure.

Because of Xie Chong herself, she has a sense of charm, and her round buttocks twist and turn when she walks.

In this way, another three years passed.

The Seven Injury Technique has finally reached the level of 'Great Master: 921/1000'.

One step away from Dzogchen.

Below this level, when Xu Ruyan goes out, she basically won't let out any filth, and won't be sensed by talismans and monks.

Similarly, because Chen Ping was proficient enough in sorcery and was only one step away from Dzogchen, even though Chen Ping had frequent contact with Xu Ruyan, he did not suffer any obvious backlash.

There is no evil spirit on him.

In addition, 'Qingmang Sword and Shield' has also reached the level of 'Grandmaster'.

This spell and the 'Green Glow Sword Art' are companion spells.

One main attack, one main defense.

The nature is also similar to the "Green Glow Sword Art". Under the current level of "Grandmaster", he can already summon more than 300 green awn swords to form a dense green awn defense shield.

The difference is that 'Green Glow Sword Jue' is a foundation-building spell, while 'Green Glow Sword Shield' is a golden core spell.

After mastering this spell, his life-saving methods were greatly improved.

this day.

Chen Ping walked out of Xiaozhufeng, went to the general affairs hall, and received the salary of the peak master for these years.

The peak master's salary in the foundation building period is 300 middle-grade spirit stones a year, and after Jindan is upgraded to 8 top-grade spirit stones a year.

Add in the income from spiritual plants, talismans, etc. over the years, and deduct the consumption.

He now has a total of 1660 top-grade spirit stones.

that night.

After the exercise, Chen Ping and Yun Haitang put forward their own ideas:

"In a few days, I'm going to go out for a trip to Tianyan City."

On the one hand, I have not seen my eldest daughter-in-law for more than 8 years since I came back from Canglan Grassland.

What's more important is that he has almost learned the spells and the like in his hand, and needs to learn more things, but these Ling Xiaozong don't have them, so he can only go out.

Moreover, he was still uneasy about the demons' invasion of the human world, and had to ask for more information in order to plan ahead.

Some time ago, I received a letter from Yu Lingchun, saying that Xiyue should leave the customs in the near future.

This is the best time to go.

"Well, when are you going?" Yun Haitang lay in Chen Ping's arms.

She knew very well that the resources of Ling Xiaozong were far from enough for Jindan monks, so she had to go out frequently.

This is the troublesome place for the small sect.

Chen Ping hugged her delicate body, thought for a while and said:

"It will take a few days. This time I am going out, I plan to open up the usual transfer point of the Yun family on the side of Tianyan City at the same time, and I want to take Yun Lingshan with me."

Qingyun domain is too remote, not suitable for foreign businessmen.

But Tianyan City is different, it is the center of Xihuang, and almost all large caravans will pass through there, buy and ship goods there.

If you want to expand your business territory, Tianyan City is an immortal city that cannot be avoided.

"Okay, if we can get through this channel smoothly, the cost of my business will be greatly reduced. Now that there is one more Yun Lingtian, it will not be a problem for Yun Lingshan to go out for a while." Yun Haitang heard what Chen Ping said , agree immediately.

The high transportation cost has always been an important reason why the Yun family's business is afraid to expand too much.

The Yun Lingtian he mentioned was a disciple of the Yun family who was newly promoted to Foundation Establishment a few years ago.

Since then, there have been three foundation cultivators in the Yun family, and the pressure on management has been greatly reduced.

Having said that, Yun Haitang slightly raised his head to look at Chen Ping, smiled and said:

"Why don't you accept Yun Lingshan as an apprentice? She has a good talent in cultivation, and she is also smart and eager to learn, and she can endure the days of penance."

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

Yun Lingshan herself never mentioned this matter.

He himself had never thought of it before.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"What did she think?"

Yun Haitang chuckled:

"She still thinks that way? This girl admires you the most. If she had the honor to worship you as her teacher, she would be overjoyed. It's just that she is embarrassed to mention it because of my existence, and I have to be my aunt to help you." She comes out."

In fact, Chen Ping never thought about accepting apprentices.

But if Yun Lingshan made this request, he thought he would not refuse it.

Now he and the Yun family are one, and Yun Lingshan is also busy with him, and he will occasionally give her some advice on cultivation. Although she is not a master-student, she is almost a master-student.

At most, it is one more name.

"It's not impossible. I'll ask her what she thinks then."

"By the way, how is your cultivation going? Are there any signs of great realization?" Chen Ping asked with concern.

Since returning to the Lingxiao Sect, Chen Ping has brewed a large amount of unknown wine, and has also taught Yun Haitang to start learning the Ice Body Divine Canon.

These are all preparations for Jindan.

But there was no physical feedback after practicing the Ice Body Divine Code. If he hadn't had a panel back then, he wouldn't have known how far he had practiced, let alone how to judge Yun Haitang's progress.

"How can it be so fast? It's still early." Yun Haitang smiled.

She has actually entered the ninth floor of the foundation building for several years.

But the ninth floor of foundation building and the 1st to 8th floors of foundation building are completely different concepts, and she actually doesn't have much hope for her ability to form alchemy.

Although Chen Ping, the golden elixir husband, provided the ice body gods and experience, provided spiritual wine, also provided a 'golden elixir', and also provided a 5.5-level spiritual land with super-standard aura, blocking all opponents with power. She has potential trouble with the mind of robbery.

But forming alchemy is not all about having resources.

A single 'big insight' that depends entirely on the individual can get rid of a large number of monks.

This is actually the reason why she took the initiative to push Yun Lingshan to Chen Ping's side. It was the same when she asked Yun Lingshan to let go of other things in the family to dominate the talisman, and now she proposed that Chen Ping accept Yun Lingshan as his apprentice.

This is her little thought.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly inwardly.

Chen Ping noticed her depression, and hugged her in his arms:

"Now that the Yun family has one more Foundation Establishment, in my opinion, you should spread out the trivial matters in the family as much as possible. The ninth floor of Foundation Establishment is the most critical moment, and you can devote your whole body and mind to cultivation. As long as You can realize it smoothly by yourself, and you don’t have to worry about the resources for alchemy in the future.”

This is not just talking.

Chen Ping was ready to make all the preparations for Yun Haitang's alchemy.

Except that one golden pill was already given to Yun Haitang, another one had to be taken.

Wuxingzhiye will do its best to prepare everything for her.

"Yes, I know." Yun Haitang felt warm in her heart.

After a pause, she raised her head again and said:

"You, do you like this girl Yun Lingshan?"

"Um?"

Chen Ping froze for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, until he saw Yun Haitang biting his lip and smiling, he realized that what Yun Haitang was talking about:

"What and what? I'm her uncle."

"Huh? You dare to tease your husband, don't you?"

A certain part of Yun Haitang was slapped by Chen Ping with a crisp sound. She pushed Chen Ping's hand away and said with a smile: "I'm not joking, I'm just asking. Don't"

"Ask me? I think you've regained your spirits."

Chen Ping turned over and pressed her under him.

"Don't, don't, I'm out of strength... um..." The voice then became intermittent.

In the bedroom next door.

The two little maids covered their heads with the quilt.

"The Red Sister has reminded us to go to bed early at night, otherwise we won't be able to fall asleep. It's all your fault, Lotus, you have to drag me to chat."

"Why am I to blame? You eavesdropped yourself."

"."

the next day.

Chen Ping summoned Yun Lingshan to Xiaozhufeng.

"The 'Thousand Soul Beast Demon Crystal' and 'Frost Milk' Lingshan that senior was looking for before have been found." After seeing the ceremony, Yun Lingshan carefully took out two boxes and handed them to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was overjoyed.

After these two things are in hand, you can start to modify the talisman ink, and then draw rarer talismans such as the melting spirit talisman and the ice bird talisman.

As for the fee, tell Yun Lingshan to deduct it directly from his talisman share.

"Thank you very much." Chen Ping smiled.

"Senior, you are being polite." Yun Lingshan smiled.

She then reported the development of the bamboo talisman.

Over the years, the talisman store has been operating stably, and has completely taken over the high-end market in the Sanxiu City of Lingxiaozong. The official talisman stores of the other three families have been closed down one after another or greatly reduced in size.

The talisman store is a labor-intensive industry, so Chen Ping's commission is not too much, and everyone's enthusiasm for labor is guaranteed as much as possible.

And in order to take into account everyone's cultivation, he didn't squeeze a lot of everyone's time.

The daily time for the talisman master to draw talismans is not very long.

Even so, the net profit of 50-90 top-grade spirit stones is recorded every year.

The current team of Talisman Masters has more than 40 people.

"I have worked well with the caravans that I frequent. Nearly 31% of the talismans are sold to them. This is mainly because we don't have enough talismans. There are only so many. But the price to sell to the caravans will be lower. A lot, they need cost to take out..."

Chen Ping put away the 'Thousand Soul Beast Demon Crystal' and 'Cold Frost Milk', and said:

"It is precisely because of this that I called you here. I am going to open a shop in Tianyan City, which can be used as a transit point for foreign trade. You are ready to prepare, and you go together. The matter of the Yunfu is handed over, and we will leave in three days. "

"Well, I met my aunt today, and she mentioned it to me. Lingshan is already handing over." Yun Lingshan heard some news from Yun Haitang, so she wasn't surprised at the moment.

Talking about "meeting my aunt", she looked at Chen Ping:

"Auntie also mentioned the matter of accepting apprentices. I wonder if Lingshan is lucky enough to have Senior Chen as her teacher?"

When he said this, Chen Ping saw that her chest became more and more heaving.

Obviously a little nervous.

In fact, Yun Lingshan knew Chen Ping when Chen Ping was in his twenties.

She knows Chen Ping very well.

But the more you know Chen Ping, the more you know that it is very difficult to become Chen Ping's apprentice.

Because Chen Ping doesn't like troublesome things, and prefers to clean up by himself.

Over the years, countless people wanted to become Chen Ping's apprentice, but Chen Ping politely refused.

In fact, she wanted to be Chen Ping's apprentice very much, but because she knew Chen Ping well, she was afraid that if she brought it up, Chen Ping would be in a dilemma, so she never mentioned it.

Until my aunt also expressed this meaning.

Of course, another aspect is that she finally locked up her heart, and to a certain extent, she did not dare to get too close to Chen Ping.

But over the past few years, she found that due to work reasons, she inevitably had to contact Chen Ping frequently.

It doesn't matter much whether you accept apprentices or not.

"Your aunt has a lot of ideas, you don't have to listen to her about everything, the key is what do you think?" Chen Ping looked at her.

"Lingshan naturally hopes to become a disciple of Senior Chen." After this point, Yun Lingshan didn't hide her heart anymore, and said hastily.

Chen Ping gave an 'um':

"In this case, you and I will officially form a master-student relationship."

Yun Lingshan immediately knelt down in front of Chen Ping and saluted:

"Disciple Yun Lingshan has met Master."

Chen Ping quickly helped her up who kowtowed:

"Don't worry about these red tapes, you and I don't need to hold any apprenticeship ceremony, just keep everything simple."
