I will survive with proficiency

"Boom~"

In a hidden cave in the dense forest, after a huge shock wave subsided, a handsome young monk slowly put his hands flat and exhaled gently.

"Golden Core has reached the third level."

The young monk smiled slightly, his eyes were completely different.

This person is Chen Ping.

At this time, more than a year has passed since he left Tianyan City.

This place is one of the domains of Tianwu Continent, a domain in the extreme east of Misty Continent.

This is not Sen Luo Continent, not the place where Chen Ping went to find the secret family of Ghost Cultivators.

I came here to obtain the method of controlling beasts.

There is one of the most famous beast-controlling sects in Misty Continent—Shan Hai Ling Yuan Sect.

There is a sect of beast control in Xihuang, called Fengqi Sect. In Zhongzhou next to Xizhou, there is also a Beastmaster Sect.

But on the one hand, these two sects are relatively small, and there is relatively little information. On the other hand, if Chen Ping wanted to go to Senluozhou, he had to go through the jurisdiction of Shanhai Lingyuanzong, so he decided to come to this sect to try his luck and see if he could find a good book of imperial beasts once and for all.

Because the realm was close to breaking through, he found a wild place with excellent aura in the forest and dug a temporary cave.

Successfully broke through to the third layer of Jindan.

[Realm: Gold Core (Third Floor): 1/100. 】

[Life: 104/512. 】

[Cultivation method: Wuqi Chaoyuan Tianzhang (proficient): 87/100. Hundred Poisons True Demon Art (Introductory): 99/100. 】

【…】

'Before I knew it, I was over a hundred years old. '

However, Shouyuan has increased by more than ten years, successfully breaking through the 500-year-old mark.

Half a thousand life yuan.

If it weren't for the potential time bomb like the war between humans and demons, and such a long lifespan, Chen Ping wouldn't want to go anywhere. He didn't want to see the weirdness outside. Daughter-in-law, master, and apprentice live an ordinary life.

Until Huashen came out of the mountain again.

Unfortunately, things backfired.

If possible, he hopes to reach the middle stage of the golden core before the big war, to cultivate his own natal magic weapon, and improve his self-protection ability.

Of course, he also knows that the further the cultivation base is, the more difficult it is to advance.

It only took 8 years to go from the first floor of the golden elixir to the second floor of the golden elixir, and it took more than 13 years to go from the second floor of the golden elixir to the third floor.

Of course, after returning to Lingxiao Sect from Canglan Grassland, he spent more time on trivial matters. This is a reason for the slowing down of the cultivation base, but it is not the main reason. The main reason is that it has become more difficult to improve the cultivation base.

Fortunately, Wuqi Chaoyuan Tianzhang is about to reach the 'expert' level, hoping to offset part of the difficulty of promotion after the realm has risen.

I also hope that the battle between humans and demons will be slower.

Chen Ping finally set his sights on the column of 'Hundred Poisons and True Devil Art'. After more than a year, the progress bar has reached 'Entry: 99/100'.

'In this case, then first practice this auxiliary skill to the proficiency level before exiting the level'.

He took out a 'Xuanyuan Pill' and swallowed it in one gulp.

This kind of elixir is a kind of elixir specially used to assist the golden elixir to refine the body. It was the elixir he bought when he passed by a sect that mainly focused on alchemy on the way here.

Pills are not cheap.

In the outside world, there are usually 10 top-grade spirit stones in a bottle. It is equivalent to swallowing a high-grade spirit stone after swallowing a Xuanyuan pill.

Because this sect is rich in pills, the price is relatively low. In the case of a large single purchase, Chen Ping bought 100 bottles at a unit price of less than 9 high-grade spirit stones, and spent 870 high-grade spirit stones.

At this moment, after a Xuanyuan Pill entered his stomach, Chen Ping immediately practiced the Hundred Poisons True Demon Kungfu.

Light blue flames rose all over his body.

After a few days, he successfully entered the 'proficient' level.

After thinking for a while, he took out a magic robe with magic energy in the storage bag, actively guided the magic energy to erode himself, and seriously experienced the perception in it.

'It really works. '

Chen Ping couldn't help feeling elated.

In the past, when the devil energy corroded himself, he would have a clear perception of the flame of magic that had been kept in his heart because of practicing the Jade Fox Alchemy Mystery Code.

In other words, if it is not resisted, this devilish energy will corrode itself, and in serious cases, it will even damage the foundation.

But now, he is immune to magic energy!

That's great.

Chen Ping knew that after practicing to a 'proficient' level, he would be immune to not only the magic energy, but all kinds of poisons. But Chen Ping couldn't try other poisons, and he didn't dare to try it lightly, after all, he didn't reach Dzogchen.

'The devilish energy in this robe is not strong enough, and then try to find a way to try a more intense devilish environment to see how far the immunity has reached. '

Chen Ping took a breath.

He got up and walked out of the cave, only to find that the outside was covered with weeds, which almost blocked the entrance of the cave, and the occasional water beach reflected his own sloppy facial image.

With a wave of his hand, he used magic to remove his beard. Withdrawing the utensils such as the array, it disappeared into the forest with a stream of light.

The next stop is Xiancheng under the jurisdiction of Shanhai Lingyuanzong.

Even though he has reached the third level of Jindan, he still flies cautiously.

Along the way, he saw more dangers than he had imagined.

When Yun Lingshan was originally instructed, she said that she would return within a year or even a few months, but later found that she had greatly underestimated the distance and the danger of the journey.

Because the news of the human-devil war has already spread, the level of chaos in various places has been greatly increased.

Chen Ping encountered many fights along the way.

This greatly reduced his traveling speed.

Just as he was on his way in the forest, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in his flight.

He was horrified, and suddenly rose into the air, and at the same time slapped himself with a defensive shield.

In just a split second, he felt that it was the sharp aura tearing apart the space.

Fortunately, it took off in time.

But in the next second, his heart tightened.

The bottom is no longer a boundless forest, but an island.

This was teleported?

Ancient teleportation array?

Chen Ping called it unlucky.

In fact, he was cautious enough on the way, always using his spiritual sense to survey the way ahead, and then move forward cautiously.

Moreover, he is a formation master himself, and he has practiced well in the current third-order formations. Once you encounter a formation, you usually have a certain perception.

But still entered the ancient teleportation array by mistake?

If this is the case, then the level of this ancient teleportation array must be higher than the third level.

The problem is that the jurisdiction of the Mountain Sea Spirit Origin Sect is not a land without owner like the Wild Forest in the west of the West Wilderness. If there is an ancient teleportation array in such a place, it is unlikely that it will be unknown.

That being the case, it will most likely be marked by the Shanhai Lingyuanzong in an eye-catching way.

But he thought he was serious about his journey.

Did not see any markings.

...No matter what, let's find out the current situation first.

Chen Ping put away his thoughts and fell quickly.

Only then did I realize that this island is not too big, and it is not a barren land.

There is actually a small town on the island.

There is no formation like the mountain protection formation in the sky above the town.

Chen Ping flew into the town.

I found that this small town is too abnormal, there are no houses here, only huge stone monuments, some even tens of feet high.

Every townsman held a hammer and drill, turned his back to the street, and hammered on the stele.

They turned a deaf ear to Chen Ping's entry into the town.

Chen Ping subconsciously touched the Xie Xie Talisman in his arms, but there was no sign of fever.

Not evil?

But it's weird everywhere.

"Fellow Taoist, what are you doing?" Chen Ping called out to one of the young monks who were carving stone tablets.

The young monk turned his head when he heard the sound, saw that it was Chen Ping, and said with a smile: "So it's Daoist Chen, how have you been recently?"

Chen Ping was taken aback.

He looked carefully, confirmed that he did not know the young monk in front of him, and said in surprise:

"Fellow Daoist recognize me?"

The young monk smiled and said:

"Chen Daoyou was joking, who doesn't know Chen Daoyou in this Hailing Island town?"

Chen Ping couldn't help frowning, and was about to ask a question, when he saw the head of a female cultivator protruding from the back of the huge stone tablet that the young man was knocking on:

"What are you talking about? It's time to work, didn't you see what day it is today?"

"Here we come." The young monk smiled softly, then turned around and apologized to Chen Ping:

"My lady's order is here. You are busy, Fellow Daoist Chen, and I have to go to work."

After speaking, he turned to the back of the stele and disappeared.

There was only a tinkling sound.

Chen Ping's words got stuck in his throat and he didn't ask. After thinking for a while, he followed, but he looked sideways at the back of the stele, and couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.

There is no one behind the stele.

The young monk and nun seemed to disappear out of thin air.

What the hell is this place?

Chen Ping remained vigilant, continued to walk a certain distance, and stopped another plump female monk who was carving a stone tablet:

"Dare to ask, friend, where is this place?"

The female monk turned her head when she heard the sound, saw Chen Ping, and said with a smile on her face:

"This is a new code that Chen Daoyou came up with? Damn, just come in. Last time Chen Daoyou came to pay a few more spirit stones, and I am not a person who is greedy for cheap. Today, that dead ghost is not at home, so Chen Daoyou came in."

As he spoke, he was about to take off his clothes.

Chen Ping hesitated.

walk away quickly.

...this is not a place to stay.

Although the Xie Xie Talisman didn't have a fever, it revealed strangeness everywhere.

There are many weird means in this world, Xu Ruyan trained by himself can block the perception of the evil talisman, so it cannot be confirmed that these are definitely not evil spirits.

...Since you don't understand, just leave.

After Chen Ping walked out of the village, he quickly flew out.

Beyond the island is the boundless sea, and the journey was relatively calm. After half an hour, I saw an island again.

But the closer he got, the more ominous Chen Ping felt.

After falling, I couldn't help my scalp tingling.

Exactly the same island.

Exactly the same environment.

The same small town.

The same stone monument...

Obviously back to the original island.

Chen Ping did not give up, and flew forward again in a different direction.

Finally got the answer:

No matter which direction you fly, or keep flying in the same direction, you will eventually return to this small town called Hailing Island.

"Dare to ask friends, what are you doing beating on the stone tablet?"

After asking questions like this several times, Chen Ping got the general information:

This small town is called Hailing Island Town, which is the consensus of everyone.

The skin of every villager here is blue, light blue like the sea.

Everyone knows his name is Chen Ping, and they all say that he is a celebrity in this small town.

There is another world behind every stone tablet, but Chen Ping doesn't know what, and dare not enter easily.

When every monk speaks halfway, there must be various reasons to leave. The questions he asks are never perfectly answered.

Chen Ping went back to the young monk he had met at the beginning, and saw that young monk was still buried in knocking on the stone tablet.

Countless sword qi instantly cut off many meridians of the young monk.

Chen Ping roared again, and cast a soul attack spell.

"Chen Daoyou, you..." The young monk was beaten by Chen Ping completely without any defense.

"I ask you to answer, you must not have the slightest reservation, and you are not allowed to leave suddenly. Otherwise, you will not live today." Chen Ping said sharply:

"Why do you want to carve a stone tablet?"

"Why?" The young monk was surprised:

"Chen Daoyou has lived here for decades, don't you know? Without a stone tablet to protect you, every time the moon is full, you and I will die."

"How do you say that?" Chen Ping was startled.

"Didn't Daoyou Chen go out just now? Didn't you see an extinguished lighthouse on the sea? On the night of the full moon, the lighthouse will light up. Under the light of the lighthouse, we monks will instantly turn into stone monuments."

Speaking of this, the young monk showed a look of fear in his eyes, and his two arms with broken meridians supported the ground, and kept crawling backwards:

"Hurry up, hurry up, tonight is the night of the full moon, we must hurry up and repair the stele, or it will be over, otherwise it will be over."

At this time, the young monk's wife came out from behind the stone tablet, and when she saw her husband being beaten like this by Chen Ping, she rushed towards Chen Ping screaming:

"I'm going to fight you hard, I'm going to fight you hard."

"Puff~"

Chen Ping didn't think about killing her, but it was just a blow of a spell with not too much attack power, which directly pierced through the female cultivator's body, killing her.

And the young monk was knocking on the stone tablet in DuangDuangDuang, and he didn't care about the death of the Taoist couple.

When Chen Ping was slightly stunned, he discovered that the skin of one of his palms suddenly turned light blue.

The same skin color as everyone here.

...the people here can't be killed?

...or else assimilate to them?

Chen Ping arrested a few monks again—an elderly monk with white hair, a young child who was only half a meter tall, and the plump woman who had invited him into the house for a while....

It's just that this time I learned how to behave and didn't directly kill people.

But he was surprised to find that even if he didn't kill anyone, just wounding these people would cause his skin to turn a little bit blue.

In the end there can only be threats.

But after being pressed, the answer is the same, there is a lighthouse in the sea, and it will light up on the night of the full moon.

When exposed to light, it becomes a stele.

The problem is, Chen Ping has flown in the sea many times, but he has never seen any lighthouse.

Chen Ping thought for a while and flew out of the town.

What he didn't know was that behind him, the plump woman whom he had just coerced and interrogated couldn't hold back her breath, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, her face turned pale. Glancing nervously at Chen Ping, who was leaving, he quickly wiped off the blood stains, and then returned to his numb knocking on the stele.

Ahead, Chen Ping found a secluded place outside the town, took out the night travel map of the ghosts, and released Xu Ruyan. And asked her to inspect the town.

"Can you feel the weirdness here?" Chen Ping asked after she finished her inspection.

Xu Ruyan frowned slightly:

"Yes, but I can't. I can't say it. The monks here are not as evil as Yan'er, but more like monks like the master, living monks. But their minds are chaotic, as if they have been trapped here for a long time, and they have completely lost their minds. Lost myself."
