I will survive with proficiency

Chapter 384 Fighting to break the sky

Although there is no need for a grand apprenticeship ceremony.

But accepting apprentices is also a big deal after all.

Under the witness of Yun Haitang and a few other people, a simple internal apprentice acceptance ceremony was held at Xiaozhufeng, and Yun Lingshan performed three worships and nine kowtows in a proper manner.

I offered tea.

He paid tribute to the ceremony of apprenticeship.

After the ceremony, when only Yun Lingshan was left, Chen Ping gave her the jade ball he got from Su Lengyuan, which was regarded as a teacher's gift.

"Thank you, Master." Yun Lingshan took the jade ball carefully.

The greatest value of this jade ball is that it will play a role in the early and middle stages of foundation building, which is just suitable for Yun Lingshan.

After several decades of foundation establishment, Yun Lingshan is now a mid-stage foundation establishment monk.

Chen Ping introduced the value and usage of the jade ball to her, and told her:

"This jade ball came from a wrong place, you can use it secretly, and you must not show it to others, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

This is just a reminder for the sake of insurance.

In fact, Su Lengyuan did not show the jade ball from the beginning to the end in order to convince Jindan's father-in-law that his rapid progress in cultivation was due to his natural talent and not from external forces.

After Su Lengyuan's death, basically no one knew the origin of this jade ball.

"Lingshan understands."

It is spring in Tianyan City at this moment, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant everywhere.

When Chen Ping and Yun Lingshan arrived, it happened that Tianyan City was holding a trade conference, and after a while, there would be a traditional program "Golden Core Lecture" held every few years. The city was overcrowded and bustling.

The two went to several inns one after another before finding a vacant room and staying there.

After settling in, Yun Lingshan began to go to the city to contact some trade caravans that had contacts with the Yun family.

She needs to investigate the situation of Tianyan City as soon as possible, and choose a suitable store location.

Chen Ping went out alone, and went to the residences of Lin Changshou and Guo Zizhao.

After so many years, I don't know if they are still alive?

Or maybe the address has changed?

When I arrived, I saw a young monk couple sitting in the courtyard of Guo Zizhao's original house, obviously not Guo Zizhao and his Taoist couple.

In the courtyard of Lin Changshou's house, there was a young monk practicing a set of sword skills.

In the process of turning around several times, Chen Ping caught a glimpse of the young man's face, which looked a bit like Lin Changshou, and couldn't help but stop and watch for a while.

Aware of Chen Ping's existence, the young man stopped to practice his sword and said politely:

"Dare to ask my friend, is there something wrong?"

The behavior is polite, but the body language also shows a sense of vigilance.

But in the next second, he noticed Chen Ping's extraordinary aura, and hurriedly saluted again:

"It turned out to be Senior Foundation Establishment. Forgive me for my poor eyesight, it is really offensive. Junior Lin Changan, I didn't know that Senior was here, but you have something important to do with Junior?"

Lin Changan?

Chen Ping smiled:

"Are you Lin Changshou's son?"

"My father is Lin Changshou. Dare I ask if the senior is looking for my father?" Lin Xueping said respectfully. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for a big monk like Chen Ping to come to him suddenly, and he always remained respectful and vigilant.

Before Chen Ping answered, he heard a vicissitudes of voice from inside the room:

"Chang'an, is there a visitor?"

Then an old man with gray hair came out slowly.

The old man's body was already a little rickety, his face was full of marks left by the years, and he looked like he was dying, but he was dressed in a decent and neat manner.

When the old man saw Chen Ping, he was stunned and his eyes widened.

"Friend Lin, long time no see." Chen Ping smiled lightly.

This person is Lin Changshou.

Lin Changshou walked over excitedly:

"Brother Chen? Quick, come in quickly. Chang'an, hurry up and call your mother back, and tell me that Brother Chen is here."

"Yes, father." Seeing his father's excited expression, Lin Changan probably knew that this person was his father's friend he had mentioned before, so he ran out immediately after agreeing to the promise.

After decades, when the two met again, it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.

Chen Ping learned from Lin Changshou that Guo Zizhao had returned to Taoism.

But it's not dead.

Instead, he lived until the day he died.

Right.

Counting from leaving Lianyun City, almost eighty years have passed. When they were in Lianyun City, Lin Changshou and Guo Zizhao were slightly older than Chen Ping.

Calculated in this way, they all lived to be more than one hundred years old.

The lifespan of the Qi refining period is only about a hundred years old. Chen Ping practiced longevity exercises, and his life span was only 131 years old when he practiced the ninth level of qi.

Guo Zizhao and Lin Changshou did not practice longevity skills.

After Guo Zizhao's death, his Taoist companion also returned to Taoism after a few years.

The two left no offspring.

"Guo Daoyou lived to be more than a hundred years old. He has no regrets. He passed away very peacefully. I took care of his funeral."

"I lived a few more years, my name is Changshou." Lin Changshou smiled teasingly.

He looked at Chen Ping, feeling a little embarrassed.

Several people with similar cultivation levels back then came out of Lianyun City. After several decades, Chen Ping lived younger and younger.

Chen Ping looked at his old friend.

The cultivation base of the nine levels of Qi training.

But there is no sense of 'little sentiment' on his body.

Small comprehension is the same as big comprehension, relying on the cultivator's own comprehension of Dao rhyme, others can't help much, and even resources can't play a big role.

If it is true that resources can solve all problems, those big sects and big families will probably have as many foundations as dogs, and golden cores will go everywhere.

Today's Lin Changshou is showing his old age.

There is no face-retaining technique during the Qi refining period, and people will experience changes in appearance and appearance throughout the life cycle from birth to death just like ordinary people.

A simple Zhuyan pill is not enough to cover up the feeling of aging.

Talking about this topic is a bit sad, so Chen Ping changed the direction:

"Didn't I see you have a daughter last time? Why didn't I see you today?"

Speaking of children, Lin Changshou showed a gratified smile:

"That girl is better than her father"

When her daughter was in her teens, she successfully passed the examination of an outer disciple of a small sect and became an outer disciple of that sect.

Realized the dream that Lin Changshou failed to realize.

Lin Chang'an did not go to the sect, and stayed by his parents' side all the time. He is now in his thirties.

While the two were chatting, Lin Changan hurried back with her mother.

Lin Changshou's Taoist companion is younger than Lin Changshou, so he doesn't look as old as Lin Changshou.

Lin Changan was holding a large piece of freshly bought Tier 2 monster meat.

"It's really rare to see someone selling second-grade monster meat on the road, so I bought some back, Senior Chen, father, mother, please talk slowly, I'll make dinner." Lin Changan hurried to the dining room.

"."

Chen Ping did not refuse, and stayed for dinner together.

During the period, Lin Changshou talked about Chen Ping's purpose of coming to Tianyan City this time, and Chen Ping said bluntly:

"I came here this time because I want to open a shop in Tianyan City, as a window for Yunfu to do business with the outside world."

During the chat just now, Chen Ping knew that Lin Changan was also a casual cultivator at present, and would take on various tasks, without a fixed occupation.

And in the past period of communication, I found that Lin Chang'an inherited his father's style of dealing with people, being down-to-earth and steady, not drifting, not oily.

It is a quality that Chen Ping admires very much.

After a pause, he said:

"This time I came to build a new store with me and Yun Lingshan, Lin Daoyou met before. But she will not stay in Tianyan City for a long time, and she will go back when the store is on the right track. How about it? Nephew Lin Xian Are you interested in taking up the position of shopkeeper?"

What Chen Ping said was 'acting shopkeeper'.

Instead of the shopkeeper.

This shop in Tianyan City is very important, so it still depends on Lin Changan's follow-up ability. If the ability can keep up, he would naturally be more willing to let Lin Changan officially take over this position.

As soon as these words came out, the three people on the opposite side were stunned.

Lin Changshou was the first to react, and put down the bowl and chopsticks excitedly:

"Brother Chen sees what you said, it is worthy of him to entrust such an important position to Quan Zi. Is there anything he would like or not? Of course he is willing."

Then he turned his head and slapped Lin Changan on the head:

"You kid, why don't you thank you, Senior Chen."

"Junior Chang'an thanked Senior Chen." Lin Chang'an said hastily.

Mrs. Lin also thanked again and again.

Because of this incident, the three of them were a little excited, and even slowed down their eating movements, trying their best to learn about the opening of the store.

It also introduced Lin Changan's advantages, and repeatedly stated that he would do his best to do this matter well.

Especially Lin Changan himself was even more excited when he knew that Chen Ping was not a foundation, but a golden core.

When he heard that Yun Lingshan would go back soon, Lin Changshou hesitated, and said:

"Brother, the significance of this shop is very important, and Quanzi will naturally do its duties meticulously. However, to tell you the truth, Quanzi is only at the fifth level of qi training. Big brother and Senior Yun are far away in Lingxiaozong, so this."

Chen Ping knew what he was worried about.

It's nothing more than the fact that the cultivation base is too low to keep the scene.

To put it bluntly, if any monk comes to make trouble, you can't control it.

What's more, in Tianyan City, a big city for cultivating immortals, various powerful forces are entrenched, and the interests are intricately intertwined. If someone uses any tricks outside the market, your shop may disappear completely.

Chen Ping had thought about this question a long time ago:

"It doesn't matter, nephew Lin Xian only cares about the business. I am free to arrange these issues."

This is not talking, but he has thought about it.

If you can't even solve this most basic problem, what kind of shop will you open?

"."

When Chen Ping returned to the inn, seeing that Yun Lingshan hadn't come back, he took out a booklet and started writing.

This booklet is a story written by three new maids on Xiaozhu Peak, and Chen Ping told them the story.

The name of the story is - "Fights Break the Sky".

The story is almost finished, so I can continue to write it myself.

...

Three days later.

Yun Lingshan finally settled the business of the store.

According to Chen Ping's request, the location of the store was not chosen on the busiest street, but in the middle of a relatively inconspicuous street.

This location is adjacent to Central Avenue, and next to the shop is a large-scale refining workshop.

Moreover, the artifacts in this Artifact Refining Workshop are not low-end, there are many second-tier ones, and even third-tier ones, mainly customized. This means that the store background is not simple.

The surrounding area of ​​such shops is not easy to be robbed.

But the location is not too conspicuous, so as not to be publicized.

The talisman shop that Chen Ping wants to open is not for casual sales, but mainly for supplying regular cooperative caravans.

So there is no need for a busy location.

"Master, what do you think of this house?" Yun Lingshan asked Chen Ping to make a decision.

Chen Ping praised:

"It's pretty good. The front bunk is not too big, and the back yard is relatively wide, which can just be set up as a tea room for VIP guests. What's behind this bedroom?"

"This shop used to be an elixir shop, and here is a secret room for alchemy. The secret room is very defensive. I just need to arrange a few defensive formations, and I can use it immediately..." Yun Lingshan introduced.

Chen Ping felt very satisfied after reading it.

The next step is that Yun Lingshan hires laborers to start work on formally repairing the shop.

Lin Changan also formally joined the supervisor team.

Five days later, "Fights Break the Heaven" was completed, and Chen Ping took Yun Lingshan to Tianyan Sect.

Originally, he could go alone. But Yun Lingshan hadn't seen Yu Lingchun for decades, so she wanted to go and have a look.

The relationship between the two was very good before.

"Master, why did you ask Lingshan to bring a door plaque?" Yun Lingshan asked in confusion as Chen Ping was flying.

"Go ask for peace." Chen Ping grinned.

The two soon arrived at the foot of Tianyanzong Mountain. After landing, they were a little disappointed to see that the disciple guarding the sect was no longer the same disciple who established the foundation that they met during the previous two visits.

He felt that his sense of loss was probably caused by not seeing his old friends, and there was absolutely no other possibility.

"I need to go to the Ninth Peak, please help me guide the way." Chen Ping showed the token.

His token itself has the right to directly enter the formation and fly directly to the Ninth Peak.

But as a newcomer, it is most appropriate to follow the process.

"So it's Senior Chen, this way please." Seeing the word "Xi" engraved on Chen Ping's token, the disciple guarding the door immediately recognized that it was the token of Fairy Xiyue's registered disciple, and hurriedly led the way.

On the way into the mountain, Chen Ping did not fly, but deliberately walked in order to familiarize himself with the terrain of Tian Yanzong.

At the same time, let the gatekeeper disciple introduce the situation of Tianyanzong on his behalf.

He has been to Tianyan Sect twice, but he only went to the gate but never entered, and his understanding of Tianyan Sect is limited to what he heard.

All I know is that the Tianyan Sect is the largest sect in the Western Wilderness.

There are only two Nascent Soul monks in the Western Wilderness.

Other than that, not much is known.

At this moment, after hearing the detailed introduction of the gatekeeper disciples, I realized that apart from the two Nascent Souls, there are more than 30 Golden Core monks in the Tianyan Sect.

Scary numbers.

You must know that the sects around Qingyunyu have at most one or two golden elixirs. Some sects that are more remote from the south to the west do not even have a Golden Core monk, and the foundation can be the head.

There are more than a dozen independent peaks of Tianyanzong.

The important gates are basically controlled by Jin Dan.

"...Senior Bian from the Seventh Peak is a master of alchemy, and has the weirdest temperament. Senior Chen is new here, so you must not approach the Seventh Peak rashly....The real Lianhua of the Thirteenth Peak likes to meditate the most. Master Lianhua is a senior who is more able to practice painstakingly. The younger generation has only seen Daoist Lianhua once in Tianyanzong for so many years.... Great Elder Ximen is the most powerful sword cultivator in Tianyanzong. A Jindan cultivator who came to challenge, is famous far and wide.... Yuquan Master is a master of refining weapons. During the battle, all kinds of magic weapons emerge in an endless stream. Once, Yuquan Master took me to wait for these disciples to practice in a secret realm. During the period, I met a very powerful The third-order monster, that time really made me wait for the younger generation to experience it...."

The disciple who led the way opened up the chatterbox, and introduced Chen Ping's humanistic environment of Tianyan Sect.

Chen Ping was so happy that he focused on listening.

When encountering unclear places, he will also intervene.

When approaching the ninth peak, the topic also turned to the ninth peak:

"...Senior may not be aware of this. Immortal Xiyue is very strict in selecting registered disciples, and ordinary monks can't catch her eyes. There was once a Jindan monk who wanted to worship Immortal Xiyue as his teacher, in order to impress Xiyue Xianzun, that senior Jindan knelt at the foot of the Ninth Peak for three whole months, and he didn't even see the face of the Xiyue Xianzun, tsk tsk... I waited for these disciples to even go to the Ninth Peak without permission. None of the peak gates dare to approach."

The disciple leading the way was amazed.

There was a serious fear of Xiyue in his tone.

Chen Ping thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to bring back Xiyue's image:

"Not necessarily. This is an individual case, so it can't be taken seriously. She is actually very easy-going. When I first met her for the second time, she accepted her as a registered student."

The disciple leading the way froze for a moment.

Why does it sound like you want to hit someone so much?

Senior, you are an example.

It's really pissing people off.

The corner of the leading disciple's mouth trembled, he calmed down his depressed mood, and said:

"Senior Chen is a person who has a relationship with Xianzun Xiyue as a teacher and apprentice, and others can't ask for it."

Chen Ping actually didn't quite understand.

After several contacts, Xiyue is not the kind of person who is very difficult to communicate with.

Why.

Really.

Xiyue has nothing to be afraid of.

She is obviously a junior sister next door.
