I will survive with proficiency

Year after year.

[Realm: Golden Core (seventh floor): 11/100. 】

Chen Ping was lost in thought while looking at the numbers on the panel.

After entering the seventh level of Jindan for 5 years, the progress bar has only increased by '11' points. This is the effect after the 'Five Qi Chaoyuan Tianzhang' has reached the full level and there are no obstacles in the comprehension of exercises.

At this rate, it will take at least 50 years to enter the eighth level of Jindan.

Although I expected the slow speed of Jindan's practice in the later stage, I still feel a little melancholy after calculating it at this moment.

Fifty years is too long.

If there is no chaos, you don't need to worry too much about the issue of time to cultivate immortals quietly. My life span is nearly 600 years, and now I am less than 200 years old. I still have a long life to live, so I can take my time.

But the 260-year period mentioned by Xu Liang came in a blink of an eye.

Danger may come at any time.

Just a small realm consumes fifty years, how can we do it with ease in the future?

Time is waiting for me.

The late stage of golden elixir is different from the early and middle stage of golden elixir.

The early stage of Jindan is the continuation of the foundation-building stage, and the focus is on laying a good foundation.

The middle stage of Jindan is the bridge connecting the 'foundation' and the 'primordial spirit', focusing on tempering the state of mind.

In the later stage of Jindan, especially after the second Jindan Heart Tribulation, its center of gravity has begun to shift to the refinement of the primordial spirit. Whether it is the virtual spirit or the physical dantian, etc., they all focus on the refining of the primordial spirit. .

In the later stage of Jindan, it is a new start.

so slow.

However, although it is to temper the primordial spirit, it does not need to practice the corresponding alchemy as in the foundation building period. You only need to continue to practice the main exercises, and you can only continue to practice the main exercises.

The tempering of the primordial spirit in the later stage of Jindan is not simply tempering the primordial spirit, but tempering the existence environment of the primordial spirit in the dantian, and tempering the attributes of the primordial spirit separated from the body. These determine its tempering and state of mind, physical body The quenching and so on are integrated.

‘It seems that I have to find some popular science information to see if there is any way to increase the speed. '

Chen Ping retracted the panel.

He went to the desk and sat down, flicking his fingers to make the flame of the spark stone lamp burn more vigorously.

Unfolded a rectangular animal skin roll on the desk, took out the pen and ink, and began to write the parts that Xu Liang was confused about in "The Art of the Lost Spirit Eagle Beast".

In the past twenty years, although this spell has been practiced intermittently, but because the cycle is long enough, now he has finally practiced this spell to the level of a 'grandmaster'.

I successfully peeked into Xu Liang's confusion.

In fact, although this spell seems to be unconstrained, it actually follows the most basic mechanism of beast control, which is similar to the underlying logic of the beast control skills that Chen Ping practiced in the past.

This is the so-called "first principles".

Chen Ping's Nine Nether Colorful Cicada, Cloud-winged Bird, Octagonal Deer, and Snow Falcon's animal control skills have all reached the full level. He has an extraordinary understanding of the animal control technique itself, coupled with the guidance of the panel, Therefore, "Lost Soul Eagle Beast Control" is not too difficult for him.

At this moment, he picked up the pen, dipped it in the ink, and wrote out the confusion Xu Liang encountered one by one.

Specifically, how to practice, how to avoid going astray, and related precautions.

This puzzle is difficult to say, but it is not difficult to say, but it is extremely difficult. Like the first time, it is a question of choosing the best path from thousands of intricate ones. If there is no panel, this requires constant trial and error to succeed. The rate is extremely low.

With the guidance of the panel, you can perceive which one is the correct one in the dark.

Not long after, a volume of animal skins was written densely.

Chen Ping exerted his spiritual power slightly, dried the spiritual ink, and then rolled the animal skin into a storage bag.

evening.

He walked out of the Chen Mansion, followed the address Xu Liang had given him, walked out of Lianqi Street, and walked through several streets before finding Xu Liang's house.

No one opened the door after knocking for a while.

"Don't knock, you're dead." A female monk suddenly walked out from the next door, cursing.

Chen Ping was shocked when he heard this:

"Dead? How did you die?"

"How do I know how he died? The sloppy old man went out for more than ten years and didn't come back. What if he died? The old man owed me a pill and didn't return it." The female monk complained.

Chen Ping: .

"Fellow Daoist is his friend? Then please ask Fellow Daoist to pay back his debt." The female monk looked at Chen Ping aggressively.

"No, I'm also here to ask for debts." Chen Ping said.

Ignoring the female monks, he turned and walked out of the street.

Instead of going home directly, he went to the elixir shop where he consulted about Shaqi Pill.

When Chen Ping made it clear what he was here for and asked the shopkeeper about the Shaqi Pill, the shopkeeper was in a daze for a while, and could no longer remember this matter, several years had passed.

I didn't remember it until I looked through the records:

"Ah. The shopkeeper found that alchemist back then, but unfortunately he is no longer willing to refine evil spirit pills. It's a pity."

Chen Ping felt slightly regretful.

However, the 50 bottles of three-color evil spirit pills I bought last time have not been used up yet, and they will be enough for the three Xu family sisters to use for a few more years.

"Is there any pamphlet that introduces pills? Let me see if there are any suitable ones that I can buy." Chen Ping said.

"Yes, fellow daoist, wait a moment." The shopkeeper turned around and took out a folded booklet from the cabinet.

Chen Ping took the brochure and looked through it.

There are eight or nine types of elixir that are suitable for the later stage of golden elixir, and there is a paragraph of text below each elixir.

Unfortunately, apart from the general-purpose pills like Huiqi Dan, the rest are medicines for healing, poisoning, or some specific functions.

There is no elixir that Chen Ping wants to increase the speed of cultivation.

It's right to think about it, the elixir of this level in the later stage of Jindan is not so easy to refine, it is normal to be scarce, and it is not normal to be flooded.

Not to mention the pills that increase the speed of cultivation.

Even if an alchemist refines it, I'm afraid it won't be sold in shops, right?

Coming out of the elixir shop, Chen Ping went back to Refining Street and went to Jia Zhongshou's house.

Jia Zhongshou is at home.

And there is already a fellow Taoist who is discussing the Tao in the courtyard outside his cave.

It is about the way of ancient weapon refining.

The faces of the two were arguing red and ears were red, and they were evenly matched, neither of them could convince the other.

Chen Ping listened for a while, but did not speak.

The fellow Taoist saw that Chen Ping seemed to have something to do with Jia Zhongshou, so he snorted coldly at Jia Zhongshou, and said angrily:

"Hmph, my master will come back the next day, and I will definitely prove you wrong. He also said that he was a master of the great weapon refining sect, and at this level, this is incomprehensible, bah."

Jia Zhongshou was arguing that the ground was red-faced:

"Get out, get out, what grade? Just keep digging into the horns, right? You will be killed sooner or later. With your level, you still call yourself a master, get out."

"You wait." The fellow daoist cursed and went out the door, and then went straight into the courtyard next door.

Chen Ping smiled without saying a word.

These two are in love with each other.

"Chen Daoyou, sit down. Hey, this person is really good. If he is not allowed to come, he insists on coming. Every time he comes, he insists on arguing with me. I just said that there are some flaws in his method, and I didn't say no. You have to fight with me." Jia Zhong's anger has not yet completely subsided.

Chen Ping smiled:

"Also a refiner?"

"Yeah, I'm also a craftsman. I still have some talent, but I like to dig into the horns. Chen Daoyou has only been learning crafts for decades, and it is still difficult to understand the debates of these ancient crafts. When you practice in-depth in the future, you I know how outrageous this person's thinking is." Jia Zhong stopped and was busy pouring spiritual tea for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping smiled and said nothing.

Chen Ping actually heard what they were talking about just now. In his opinion, the two people's views have their own merits, and both angles are not bad.

But it doesn't seem to be the best solution.

Refining equipment, refining equipment, is also a kind of 'Tao' after all.

Everyone has their own way.

So I didn't say anything. It's just that when he saw that fellow Taoist arguing just now, even the eyeballs were red, and he was indeed a bit stubborn.

The two chatted for a while about their daily practice over the years.

Finally, Chen Ping asked:

"Jia Daoyou, do you know anything about the improvement of the cultivation speed of Jindan in the later stage?"

Jia Zhongshou paused when he heard the words:

"Chen Daoyou Jindan late stage?"

"I was lucky enough to enter the late stage of Jindan, but now I feel that the speed of practice has suddenly slowed down. I want to know if there are some ways to improve it." Chen Ping smiled.

Jia Zhongshou was a little surprised.

But thinking of Chen Ping's wisdom when he killed the demons outside Tianhai City, he suddenly felt that this was normal.

Opportunities are everywhere in Tianyin Immortal City, maybe Chen Daoyou was lucky enough to get some chances.

But this is everyone's own secret, he just sighed in his heart, and didn't ask much.

"When it comes to ways to increase the speed of Jindan's late-stage practice, it is generally a secret that has not been passed on by the major sects. There are some tricky methods, and the effect is hard to say. Some even have side effects, at the expense of other aspects of the cultivator. In exchange for the improvement of the realm, it depends on the trade-off."

"However, the world of cultivating immortals has been operating for hundreds of millions of years, and there are naturally some universal methods that are widely recognized. Among them, the most effective one is the 'Benefiting God Pill'."

Sure enough, there is a suitable medicine.

There are no pills for sale in the shop.

"Where can I buy 'Yi Shen Pill'?" Chen Ping asked.

Jia Zhongshou recalled:

"Do you know Zhenjun Yiliu from Alchemy Street?"

Seeing Chen Ping shaking his head, Jia Zhongshou introduced:

"If I remember correctly, Yiliu is really the only cultivator in Tianyin Immortal City who is willing to sell Yishen Pill to the public."

"He can refine the Nine Patterns Xuancang Yishen Pill. The more lines of this Yishen Pill, the better the effect. The Nine Patterns Xuancang Yishen Pill he refined is a very remarkable pill."

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows happily: "How many spirit stones?"

"It is said to be one of 100,000 top-grade spirit stones."

Chen Ping: The brow is bitter.

This shit is too expensive.

Is the elixir itself expensive? Or is it because of the high prices in Tianyin Immortal City?

There are tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones at every turn.

"Isn't it expensive? I think it's expensive too. Mother's, it's several times what I make for others. But it's said that their orders have been queued for a hundred years." Jia Zhongshou said speechlessly:

"It is said that the raw materials of this kind of elixir are extremely demanding, and the raw materials will cost a lot of money. The key point is that they may not be available for purchase. Many high-end spiritual materials cannot be cultivated, and they can only be found in the wild. Sometimes they are used for alchemy. You have to go to the secret realm to find medicinal materials by yourself."

"More importantly, it is said that the success rate is extremely low. In addition to the time required to collect spiritual materials, even a genius like Yiliu Zhenjun sometimes needs nearly ten years to refine one."

Hearing this, Chen Ping gave up the idea of ​​buying Yishen Pill.

too expensive.

Now there are only about 30,000 high-grade spirit stones on him.

I don't know how much time it will take to collect 100,000 spirit stones.

The key is to wait eighty years.

With this time, I have already survived the seventh level of Jindan.

Then Jia Zhongshou went on to introduce some other methods, most of which were not satisfactory.

Either they want to go out to take risks, and they take very big risks, such as going to the ruins of the fallen immortals to comprehend the Taoism, etc., or they want to find the treasures of heaven and earth that are rare in a hundred years or a thousand years.

Chen Ping thought over and over again, and decided to develop slowly by himself.

Decades later is decades later.

Jia Zhongshou felt emotional:

"After entering the late stage of Jindan, every step is difficult, not only the elixir, not only the Yishen Dan that is needed now, but I don't know how much resources I will spend if I want to go further in the future."

"Hey, it's just like me. I'm someone in the original sect. Although the sect can't be compared with a big sect like the Tianyin Sect, it still has a lot of resources."

"Let's just talk about this Yishen Pill. Although no one can refine the Jiuwen Yishen Pill, there are still Yishen Dan sects with three patterns and four patterns. In the end, I came here and became a casual cultivator. What? You have to fight for it yourself.”

"The problem is that many resources can't be bought even if you want to spend money. They are not open to casual practitioners like us at all. If you want to buy a Yishen Pill, you have to wait in line for hundreds of years."

"I don't think about these anymore, I just hope that the original mainland will be unsealed sooner, and then I can go back to the Zongmen and use the resources of the Zongmen to rush to the Nascent Soul Realm, then thank God."

Chen Ping didn't say anything.

For him, everywhere is the same.

On the contrary, if only from the environment of cultivating immortals, Tianyin Immortal City is more suitable for him.

The resources here are expensive, but at least there are some good resources, such as the cyan demon primer, which is not available in Xihuang, but you can buy it here as long as you have money.

And the environment is more stable.

But for core disciples like Jia Zhongshou who were not bad in the original sect, their status as casual cultivators made them a little at a loss.

"By the way, there must be other things that Chen Daoyou came here today?" Jia Zhong smiled.

Chen Ping nodded and said:

"I just went to Xu Liang's side and saw that he has already gone out. If you see him come back then, Jia Daoyou will know that he will come to see me once. I need to discuss with him some doubts about spirit eagles and beasts."

"Okay, I've made a note. But Fellow Daoist Xu is away all year round, and he doesn't know when he will come back." Jia Zhong nodded.

"..."

After returning to his own courtyard from Jia's mansion, since Chen Ping had decided to continue his hard work, he devoted himself to practice again.

In this way, more than ten years have passed again.

Several data on the panel have made great progress again.

The life of cultivating immortals is so boring and fulfilling.

In addition to the improvement of cultivation base, the Hundred Poisons True Demon Art has also made progress, the number of internal lightning in the body has increased again, and the current attack target has changed from 'muscles' to 'bones'.

The tendons have been completely tempered, and Chen Ping's biggest perception is that the flow of spiritual power, true energy and medicinal power in the tendons has become faster.

If the previous tendons were 100M network cables, they have now been upgraded to optical fibers.

Performance can be greatly improved.

Ever since he started attacking the bones, when he exercised his kung fu, the bones had turned golden yellow due to the 'Taixu body training formula' in the foundation building period, but now they are constantly fading golden yellow.

It has now turned pale yellow and is still fading.

this day.

Fairy Dongshi, who had disappeared for decades, reappeared in Chen Ping's humble mansion, still in the original appearance - a simple and elegant white robe, with a white veil on her face.

The whole face was hidden in the white mist and could not be seen clearly.

"I heard from your master before that you know some spells to drive evil spirits?" Fairy Dongshi looked at Chen Ping in the gazebo.

Chen Ping couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Xiyue even told this Fairy Dongshi?

The relationship between the two is so good?

"I understand a little bit." Chen Ping said a word, and then asked tentatively: "Did Senior Dongshi and the teacher often communicate with each other before?"

Under the veil, there was no expression on the fairy's face.

Fairy Dongshi just looked at Chen Ping, she could actually feel Chen Ping's defense against her, or Chen Ping's defense was always strong, even though he was an old friend of his master, he didn't fully open his heart .

She originally wanted to get close to Chen Ping and get to know Chen Ping through this relationship.

But now, she couldn't help but start to think if doing so would be the opposite?

She took out a box from her bosom, with a slight movement of consciousness, the box floated out of her white palm, and landed gently on the stone table in front of Chen Ping:

"This is an evil bead that I got by chance before. Anyway, I use it a lot, so I will give it to you."

Shazhu?

Chen Ping looked up at the veiled woman in front of him.

Picking up the box and opening it, there was a blood-red bead lying in the box, and a hollowed-out jade sphere was wrapped around the bead.

A trace of evil spirit is overflowing from the jade sphere.

The evil spirit is very pure.

Although I have never heard of this thing, but it is not a vulgar thing at first glance.

"Thank you, Senior Dong Shi, this kind of evil beads is indeed what this junior needs right now. Since seniors don't need it, then this junior will accept it." Chen Ping picked up the box, and said again:

"However, if you don't get paid for nothing, the senior will estimate a price for it, and the junior will buy it according to the price. You can't cause losses to the senior for nothing."

The air was quiet.

"You really want to buy it?" Fairy Dongshi looked at Chen Ping with a cold tone.

"Of course it is." Chen Ping said with a smile:

"Seniors may not know this, but juniors don't usually use spirit stones in many places, and there are still a lot of spirit stones in reserve."

"200,000 high-grade spirit stones." Dong Shi said lightly.

Chen Ping was about to put the box back into his cuffs, but he froze when he heard this.

What the hell?

so expensive?

What is the concept of 200,000 top-grade spirit stones?

"Ah, haha." Chen Ping smiled awkwardly: "Well, this junior suddenly thought that I bought some evil energy pills a few days ago, and I don't need this kind of evil beads for the time being. It's not about the spirit stones, senior. Please take it back."

Chen Ping pushed the box back.

what?

200,000 top-grade spirit stones? I can't even afford to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a Nine Patterns Xuancang Yishen Pill for myself, how can I spend 200,000 yuan to raise three evil spirits?

When they arrived at Tianyin Immortal City, they realized that money was really worthless.

In the past in Xihuang, only the Tianyan Sect had the Tribulation Tower, and there were only black and white inner demon guides inside. It was only after arriving here that I discovered that there is actually a more advanced cyan demon introduction, and the price is as high as 10,000 top-grade spirit stones a month.

In the Western Wilderness, they didn't even have the Shaqi Pill, and they had to go to the east of the distant Misty Continent.

Not to mention this kind of evil bead, which is more than several times more advanced than the evil spirit pill.

In a small place, there are not many high-end goods, but some low-end things, but I feel that I live a very nourishing life.

Now that he has seen the bright and colorful outside, he realizes that he is the wild boy who went to the city.

Chen Ping pushed the box back, but Fairy Dongshi didn't put it away, she just looked at Chen Ping quietly.

The box was on the stone table.

Chen Ping felt the invisible sense of oppression in the eyes of Fairy Dongshi, smiled slightly, reached out to take the box back, and said:

"Then, the junior Shazhu accepted it. I owe the spirit stone first."

Seeing that Fairy Dongshi was still staring at him, Chen Ping said:

"Ham, if you say you buy it, you will get a share. Since the senior is a friend of the family teacher, the junior will accept it generously. If the senior has a place to nest with the junior in the future, just ask, and the junior will never refuse."

After a pause, I felt that this sentence was too full. After all, what I said now is also a kind of promise, so I said:

"The younger generation may not be able to help with things like burning, killing, and robbery. The younger generation is too weak. To be honest with the seniors, even a monk at the early stage of Golden Core can beat me to the ground."

Pausing for a moment, remembering that he had been tricked by Xiyue before, he continued:

"It's not suitable for the juniors who go to the secret realm to hunt for treasure. The juniors don't have a sense of direction. They can't tell the difference between east, west and north, and they are easy to get lost."

After a second, continue:

"This junior is not good at fighting with others. This junior has always been kind to others. He has never killed anyone, nor has he ever sparred with others."

After finishing speaking, continue to add:

"Siege the city and overthrow the stronghold, and form an alliance to defend against the enemy. Don't ask the younger generation. The younger generation has social phobia, and it will feel uncomfortable when contacting strangers, and likes to be alone."

"."

After a stick of incense, Chen Ping said:

"In short, the above-mentioned dangerous things are not suitable for juniors. It's not that juniors are unwilling, and it's not that juniors are afraid. We wait for monks to compete with heaven and earth, so there is nothing to be afraid of, right?"

"Senior can give such valuable property to junior. Senior is a friend of the family teacher. Junior should be willing to go through fire and water for senior. The main reason is that junior is too weak, and he is afraid of losing senior's face."

Fairy Dongshi turned her head, looked at the tulips in the yard, and said softly:

"Apart from these, are you willing to do anything else?"

"Yes." Chen Ping said confidently.

Fairy Dongshi looked at Tulip, wondering what she was thinking. After a while, she turned her head to look at Chen Ping, and said slowly:

"Do you want to lift my veil?"

ah?

Chen Ping felt that his mind was not enough. Aren't you talking about repaying your favor?

Why did you suddenly talk about the veil again?

And, what does it mean to ask yourself if you are interested in unmasking him?

Chen Ping remembered what she said about her disfigurement.
