I will survive with proficiency

Tian Yanzong. Ninth Peak.

It wasn't until Chen Ping arrived at the Ninth Peak that he learned that Yu Lingchun had gone to the mortal world to perform a garrison mission.

Master Xiyue is in the sect.

"Meet that hidden family? Got what you wanted?" In the main palace, Xiyue put down the books she was reading.

After seeing the ceremony, Chen Ping replied:

"I went to Sen Luo Continent, but I didn't go west to find the hermit family. Instead, I was lucky enough to meet a ghost cultivator on the way, got what I was looking for, and came back in a hurry."

Xiyue nodded, didn't ask any more questions, but took a serious look at Chen Ping:

"Golden core level three?"

"I was lucky to break through a small realm on the way." Chen Ping replied truthfully.

Xiyue nodded calmly:

"It's not bad, it's almost reaching the speed of my seat back then."

Glancing at Chen Ping lightly, he continued:

"After entering the third level of the golden core, the heart calamity of the golden core will also follow. Tianyanzong has a tower of heart calamity. If the heart calamity comes, you can use this token to sharpen the heart calamity in the tower. "

As she said that, a token flew over from Xiyue's hand.

Chen Ping took the token and quickly thanked him:

"Thank you, Master."

After collecting the token, Chen Ping took out a piece of animal skin and handed it to Xiyue.

When I killed the female demon cultivator in the vast city, I got some plans and layouts about the demon clan and demon cultivators from her interrogating soul, which are very sparse and not the whole picture. The female devil has only built the ninth floor of the foundation, and the information she has is not too much. But these bits and pieces of information are still helpful to grasp Moxiu's movements.

Chen Ping himself didn't want to take the risk to track down these things, but it might be of value to Xiyue.

"Some layouts are beyond my control, which are of great value to me." Xiyue said after reading the animal skin scroll.

hehe.

Just be valuable.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to state his purpose for this visit:

"Master, this disciple came here this time and wants to ask Master for two treasures."

"What treasure?"

"Apprentice Daoist Yun Haitang has built the nine-story foundation, and the formation of the alchemy is imminent. I have only bought a bottle of liquid water when I went out these years. I wonder if Master has other liquids of the five elements here? The matter of alchemy is no small matter, apprentice. I want to be fully prepared." Chen Ping said bluntly.

Xiyue on the main seat looked at Chen Ping.

Without saying anything, four beautiful porcelain bottles flew over.

Chen Ping took the porcelain vase that still carried the faint fragrance of Xiyue's body, and quickly expressed his thanks.

"Is there anything else? Go out if you have nothing to do. I am going to practice." Xiyue was inexplicably agitated.

Chen Ping: "Master, do you still have the Golden Elixir?"

Xiyue took a deep breath.

In the end, a small porcelain bottle was thrown out.

Chen Ping took the golden pill, and felt that something was wrong with Xiyue's mood, so he quickly thanked her, and then said no more.

This master is very good at joking when he is in a good mood, and even unlocks the sarcasm skill infinitely. But when it's really angry, it's still quite scary.

When Yuanying got angry, it wasn't just five steps of blood splashing.

I just don't know why she suddenly became emotional.

Menopausal women are just not easy to deal with.

"Thank you, Master. That disciple will not bother Master's Qingxiu, and I will visit Master later." Chen Ping bid farewell.

After leaving the main palace, Senior Sister Guan was waiting outside.

"Senior Sister Guan, why are you here?"

"Oh, I heard that Master Chen is here, so come and see the younger brother." Senior Sister Guan said to look at the younger brother, but her eyes were focused on the movement of the main palace.

She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the porcelain vase in Chen Ping's hand, and said in surprise:

"Master gave Junior Brother Chen a golden pill?"

"Yes." Chen Ping put away the porcelain vase.

"Doesn't Junior Brother not like taking risks? What conditions did you agree to Master?" Senior Sister Guan asked curiously.

Now it was Chen Ping's turn to be curious: "Is there a condition?"

"No conditions?"

"Do you want it?"

Senior Sister Guan took a deep breath, she understood.

Originally, there was a lesson learned from the last time, but she was still thinking about whether to go in and take the opportunity to seek some benefits from the master.

But seeing that Chen Ping got benefits without even giving conditions, I concluded that Master must be in a good mood at this time.

She held up her hands calmly:

"Well, junior brother, please go ahead. Senior sister hasn't gone to pay respects to Master for a long time, it's time to go."

As he spoke, he waved his hands and walked towards the main palace with his hands behind his back.

Chen Ping felt that this senior sister was a bit inexplicable, and he was even more inexplicable when he heard the master's fierce reprimand from inside.

This pair of masters and apprentices is really

All menopausal women.

Chen Ping shook his head, avoiding getting burned, and left quickly.

After coming out of Tianyan Sect, Chen Ping chose not to wait for Yu Lingchun in Tianyan City after weighing his left and right, but chose to return to Lingxiao Sect immediately.

According to what Lin Changan said, he didn't know what happened to Ling Xiaozong, so he had to go back and find out as soon as possible.

Two days later, Chen Ping appeared on the small bamboo peak of Ling Xiaozong.

When Chen Ping returned to Xiaozhufeng, Yun Haitang and Yun Lingshan were not there. He ordered the servant girl to inform him, and he went back to the quiet room first, habitually reviewing his trip.

Doing the math, it took a total of 5 years to leave Ling Xiaozong this time.

But this trip was very rewarding.

Finished the talisman store; got the body training method; got several sets of array books and utensils; got a book for the improvement of talisman ink; got a priceless book of imperial beasts; upgraded the soul whip For the magic weapon, he got the book of refining tools; promoted Xu Ruyan to the third level and bought a lot of evil spirit pills; obtained the five elements liquid and a golden pill that Yun Haitang needed to form pills.

Although some dangers were encountered along the way, it should be considered as a rehearsal for the upcoming battle between humans and demons.

‘It’s okay, it’s not bad. '

Chen Ping smiled knowingly.

'With these things, when the real war between man and devil comes, I can be regarded as a little bit of life-saving means. '

‘Of course, I need to digest these gains and turn them into my own advantages before I can truly use them. '

‘Next, we should seize every opportunity to further improve our cultivation and advance to the middle stage of Jindan, which is more important than anything else. '

‘I hope the battle between humans and demons will not come a little slower. '

When Chen Ping was sorting out his belongings in the quiet room, Yun Haitang rushed back.

"Husband, you are finally back." Yun Haitang came out and held Chen Ping's hand, as if holding a sea needle, and her heart suddenly became more detailed.

"What's the matter?" Chen Ping originally wanted to hold her tenderly for a while, but he sensed a sense of uneasiness and anxiety from her tone.

Yun Haitang looked at her husband and saw that Chen Ping had no signs of injury, so she felt relieved and nodded:

"It's not a big deal, but it's about Xiaozhufeng, about you and me. Yun Lingshan is also here, in the living room, let's go outside and talk together?"

"OK."

Chen Ping and Yun Haitang went out to the living room together. Yun Lingshan, who was already sitting there, saw Chen Ping coming out, and stood up to greet him:

"Master."

Chen Ping nodded, and the three sat down.

After being introduced by Yun Haitang, I found out that it was Gong Zhiyuan who came.

Chen Ping clearly remembered that Gong Zhiyuan originally came from a large sect in Zhongdao, and decades ago, he took advantage of the chaos and came to the Seven Stars Gate in the northeast of Qingyun Region, and after becoming the new head of the Seven Stars Gate, he expanded and annexed territories everywhere. .

At the beginning, Qing Yunyu had been plotted, and the Yun family's mine was included in Gong Zhiyuan's plan.

It was only later that Chen Ping framed him, so he had no choice but to leave this area and return to Zhongdao.

Unexpectedly, the situation is now chaotic, and this guy is here again.

"This time, Gong Zhiyuan settled in the Dragon-seeking Sect in the south of Qingyun Region." Yun Haitang's slender willow-leaf eyebrows did not show signs of stretching.

"Looking for the Dragon Sect?"

Chen Ping of this sect naturally knew that it was the sect where Xu Ruyan's scumbag brother-in-law originally belonged to.

It lives next to Qingyunyu.

Chen Ping had a headache. The Misty Continent is so big, why is Gong Zhiyuan so interested in this corner of Xihuang?

He Gongzhi did it independently?

Or is the sect behind him intending to expand here?

There was resentment in Yun Haitang's tone:

"Well, Gong Zhiyuan has become the new head of the Dragon-seeking Sect. Like last time, he began to expand aggressively, and has already annexed two sects to the south. Gong Zhiyuan approached the head of Wei two years ago and asked the head of Wei to control Qingyunyu. The area thousands of miles to the south is entirely under the ownership of the Dragon Searching Sect."

"Although there is no agreement, but Gong Zhiyuan is very strong, and the territory has been pushed northward. Half a year ago, the piece of Nanzi Lingtian we operated was forcibly seized by the Dragon Hunting Sect. I weighed my options and decided to give up. Withdrew back."

"I can't tell whether they simply want to expand northward, or they are purely interested in the spiritual field and medicine field, so in order not to be seen by them, I didn't even take back the two red carps."

Chen Ping understood.

No wonder Yun Lingshan returned to Ling Xiaozong a year ago.

It turned out to be this.

However, even though Yun Haitang couldn't figure out whether Gong Zhiyuan simply wanted to expand northward or had his eyes set on the Southern Purple Lingtian.

But Chen Ping knew very well that it was probably the former.

The spiritual fields planted with purple spirit rice are attractive to the small sect, but Gong Zhiyuan comes from a large sect with Nascent Soul Da Neng sitting in the Nakadao district, so it is unlikely that such a small benefit will catch the other party's attention.

As for the medicine field, it was purely due to the excellent water quality of that lake.

The water quality is indeed good, but it is not a priceless thing. It is not difficult for a big sect like Yuanying to improve the water quality.

"You did the right thing. The other party is a Jindan seventh-level real person, and there is a big sect standing behind him. We can avoid his edge as much as possible. Losing a piece of spiritual medicine field is just a small matter, and the big deal is to start all over again." Chen Ping nodded.

In fact, Yun Haitang has come back again.

After the Nanzi Lingtian was abandoned, they found a new area in the forest near Lingxiaozong and continued to plant purple Lingmi.

However, because of the water quality, those spiritual materials were not replanted, and had been stopped for more than a year.

But the medicine field has already been developed, and it can be put into use again only after the new Muhong carp is put in.

He even bought a pair of Muhong carps and put them in Xiaozhu Lake.

In addition, Yunfeng has completely retired, and his son is currently taking care of the ecology of Xiaozhufeng.

In fact, it's not just the Nanzi Lingtian that has been abandoned, but many industries in the south of the Lingxiao Sect have been abandoned and moved back.

"What measures does Wei Xun take for this matter?" Chen Ping asked.

"Headmaster Wei has been running around all these years, trying to unite with the surrounding sects to resist the expansion of the Dragon Seeking Sect, but has achieved little. Gong Zhiyuan's cultivation level is too high, and none of the sects in the southwest of Xihuang Strength." Yun Haitang shook her head.

Chen Ping understood, and confessed:

"You don't need to worry about this matter, we can operate the new Lingtian. I have my own plans for the rest."

"En." Yun Haitang nodded.

After a pause, he added with a smile:

"Husband, the strength of Gong Zhiyuan's seventh-level golden core is extraordinary. Husband doesn't need to have a confrontation with him just because of a momentary conflict of spirits. Let's just let it go."

"That's how it is in the world of cultivating immortals. Strength is the most important thing. However, in my opinion, my husband will become a baby in the future, but it will take some time."

Chen Ping also smiled:

"Don't worry, your husband won't make fun of your life. Besides, we are not the only ones who have been annexed to the Lingtian, and it is not even the Ling Xiaozong. There are many people who are more powerful than us."

He knew that Yun Haitang was worried that he would not be able to swallow this breath.

Afraid of acting rashly.

But having said that, Chen Ping actually felt that the matter might not end so easily.

Ambitious people, after eating the first bite of free lunch, how can they be so willing to order it?

If you don't support yourself, you won't give up.

We have to go to Wei Xun to find out more about this matter.

After Yun Lingshan left, Chen Ping pulled Yun Haitang back:

"Is there any sign of great realization?"

"Not yet." Yun Haitang blushed pretty.

"There is no need to rush this matter, just take your time." Chen Ping comforted, Yun Haitang has actually reached the ninth floor of the foundation building for some years, but Chen Ping can't help too much with this matter, the big feeling is different from person to person, everyone What needs to be realized is different.

He took out a storage bag and handed it to Yun Haitang:

"This time I went out and got the fluid of the five elements and a golden pill. You take both. When the pill is formed, I will protect the law for you. There should be no problem."

Yun Haitang held Chen Ping's hand slightly tighter, then turned to look at her husband with soft eyes:

"I've already been given a golden pill before. In addition to the one I took over the years, it's three pills."

"One more golden elixir, one more protection." Chen Ping smiled.

After walking for a while, he said again:

"Now that the Yun family has one more Foundation Establishment, in my opinion, you should also go out to travel in the clouds. You have to see the strangeness of the world to get a big understanding. I will go with you."

"I was thinking of advancing my cultivation a little bit before going out. However, how could Yunyou accompany Yunyou? Is that still called Yunyou?" Yun Haitang smiled sweetly.

Chen Ping didn't say anything.

I'll talk about that later.

However, no matter whether he accompanied her or not, he planned to prepare some more life-saving means for her to go out. Talismans, arrays, pills and the like could be as many as possible, which would be beneficial to life-saving.

That night, the two shared some of their experiences over the past few years.

In-depth communication.

The next day, Chen Ping was planning to go to the head's mansion, but Wei Xun came to Xiaozhufeng first.

Ning Xiaoqi also came with Wei Xun, saying that he came to ask Chen Ping for advice on the formation of alchemy. Ning Xiaoqi has already reached the ninth floor of the foundation building, and is currently planning to travel abroad.

There was no change in Wei Xun's cultivation level, but his expression became more depressed than before.

After chatting for a while, Chen Ping asked about his concerns:

"Yesterday, I heard about Gong Zhiyuan's entry into the Dragon Hunting School. What exactly is Gong Zhiyuan's intention?"

Speaking of this, Wei Xun sighed:

"Hey, I'm afraid I have to move the clan this time."

"So serious?" Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat.

Is it serious enough to relocate?

"It's much more serious than Chen Daoyou thought." Wei Xun shook his head, and told the information he had learned.

Gong Zhiyuan had entered the Dragon-seeking Sect three years ago, and he entered with force, the original head of the sect had no room for rejection.

At the beginning, the original head also secretly complained to Wei Xun.

In the face of Gong Zhiyuan's strong expansion, Wei Xun once ran around, but the surrounding small sects were not strong enough, so he could only swallow his anger and ask for peace.

One sect even took the initiative to show its favor and was willing to merge with the Xunlongzong.

"The last time when Gong Zhiyuan came here to expand, another equally important sect in Zhongdao intervened. This time, that sect didn't intervene?" Chen Ping asked.

Wei Xun shook his head:

"I have inquired about it, but that sect did not take any action. Maybe the two sects have reached a consensus in private."

"And this time is different from last time. It is said that Gong Zhiyuan is not reconciled to the regretful exit last time. This time, he has completely separated from the original sect after several years, and came here to develop power in his own name."

Chen Ping shook his head secretly, remembering that during the Flying Star Sect incident, he had inquired in detail about the grievances and resentments between the two big sects in Nakajima.

Basically the sworn enemy kind.

It is unlikely to reach a consensus in private.

As for whether Gong Zhiyuan has left the original sect, no one can say, only Gong Zhiyuan knows.

"In fact, this Gong Zhiyuan even came to me before he formally settled in the Xunlongzong. He wanted me to retire as the deputy head and let him be the head of the Lingxiao Sect. It's just that I didn't agree."

"At that time, I intentionally or unintentionally revealed that this sect was a mountain-protecting array arranged by Fairy Xiyue. He was somewhat jealous of my relationship with Fairy Xiyue, so he didn't dare to take it away."

"Now that we are encroaching on the southern territory, there is no intention to test it." Wei Xun said helplessly, he hesitated for a while and then looked at Chen Ping:

"I wonder if Peak Master Chen can invite Fairy Xiyue to come forward? Maybe a warning will do."

Wei Xun only knew that Chen Ping was providing spiritual wine to Xiyue, and that Chen Ping's Taoist companion, Yu Lingchun, was in Tianyanzong.

But they didn't know that Chen Ping was Xiyue's registered disciple.

"Let me try it." Chen Ping said.

He knew that this was probably the reason why Wei Xun came to visit in a hurry on the second day after he returned to Zongmen. It was Wei Xun's helpless move when he was desperate.

To be honest, Chen Ping didn't want to ask Xiyue for everything.

After all, he is only one of Xiyue's many disciples, and he is a named disciple, not even a disciple of Tianyanzong.

He and Xiyue can be bound together because they both need each other and benefit each other.

But if you demand too much unilaterally, the balance will tilt and the balance will be lost.

Besides, Xiyue has something to do with Xiyue.

And if this matter really involved Gong Zhiyuan's backer, it would undoubtedly set up a potential enemy for Xiyue for no reason.

"Then I'll have to thank Feng Master Chen." Wei Xun quickly thanked him.

"."

"By the way, how many sects have been annexed by Gong Zhiyuan?" Chen Ping tried to get as much information as possible.

"Two. However, Gong Zhiyuan is now planning to annex the Supreme Palace, and it is probably about the same. After the Supreme Palace is taken down, I am afraid that it will be my turn to wait for Ling Xiaozong next." Wei Xun breathed out.

"Extreme Palace? Isn't that already close to the land of Nanzhao Heluo?" Chen Ping hesitated slightly.

"Yes." Wei Xun was absent-minded.

Chen Ping listened thoughtfully, the land of Nanzhao Heluo is similar to Senluozhou, also called Xiaosenluozhou, there is a mix of fish and dragons, and there is everything.

Some have the opportunity to give it a try.

"."

After chatting for a while, Wei Xun bid farewell and left.
