I will survive with proficiency

On the way back from the sea, because he had been promoted to Nascent Soul, his speed increased a lot, and he returned to the mainland in more than a month.

Stay in Shenhai City for a day to get rid of the smell of the sea and the miasma.

When checking in at the inn, I accidentally saw a notice posted on the wall. It seemed that a family was looking for some capable people.

When the waiter saw Chen Ping looking at the notice, he introduced it respectfully: "This is a notice left by the Nascent Soul Master who passed by this place two years ago."

"Senior, this is the detailed version." The waiter handed over a brochure with a smile.

The booklet was open. Chen Ping glanced at it and roughly understood the whole story.

The person who left the notice was a monk named Ge, who seemed to need to break some kind of soul-sealing curse. The reward was generous, and he had a permanent reception point in Shenhai City.

It is somewhat similar to what Xu Liang did back then.

"I'll just take a look. I'm not interested and I don't have the ability." Chen Ping did not take the booklet.

I'm really not interested.

Just entering the Nascent Soul stage, the Nascent Soul Skills are the most urgent, but there is a chance to obtain them from Bi Yuan.

As for the rest, have no desires or desires.

Stop for a day and continue on your way.

Whether on the way here or on the way back, he is always in disguise, in order to avoid being stared at by people from the Dugu family.

So it was a smooth ride.

More than a month later, he appeared in Bixian Pavilion.

"How is Fairy Biyuan?" Chen Ping asked immediately when he saw Shi Shiba.

"You have the nerve to ask. It's been nearly twenty years since we left. Master is at the most important moment in his life, and so are you." Shiba reproached Chen Ping for not staying with Biyuan.

But as he got closer to Chen Ping, he found that Chen Ping's aura was much thicker.

He was stunned for a moment:

"Chen Daoyou Yuanying?"

"Yeah." Chen Ping nodded and asked again:

"How is Fairy Biyuan? Has she transformed into a god?"

Shiba looked Chen Ping up and down, shut up and did not blame anything, and returned to Chen Ping's problem:

"Not yet, but some strange phenomena are starting to appear in the sky occasionally, probably only in the past few years."

Chen Ping nodded.

On the one hand, I feel a little sorry for Fairy Biyuan. After so many years, she still hasn't incurred the thunder.

Ever since he first entered Tianyin Fairy City, he had heard that Fairy Biyuan had been on the ninth level of the Nascent Soul for decades, and he had been here for over 150 years. This meant that Fairy Biyuan had been at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul for at least more than 200 years.

Even 300 years to come.

But it’s normal to think about it.

The last layer is often the hardest layer.

It took him more than 50 years to build the ninth level of the Golden elixir alone. From this, it seems that it is normal for the ninth level of the Nascent Soul to take more than 200 years.

On the other hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least there is no news about the failure of the attack on the gods.

It is not easy to attack the gods.

Ten impacts, nine failures, this is normal.

Easier said than done.

"Let me tell you, you and Master are a perfect match. Master has successfully transformed into a god, and you have successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul realm. It's a real double happiness." Shiba smiled.

Chen Ping smiled slightly:

"Eighteen fellow Taoists will also become Nascent Souls sooner or later."

Chen Pingyuan thought she would be modest, but she didn't expect that she would directly accept Chen Ping's flattery, patting her chest and saying:

"Of course, if that guy Rongrong hadn't kept getting into trouble and delaying my practice time, I would have become a Nascent Soul long ago."

Chen Ping observed three seconds of silence for Rongrong.

There is no such senior sister on the stall.

The waist has to be bent by the pot.

After chatting for a while, Chen Ping asked:

"Do you have any information about the Little Heavenly Tribulation, fellow Taoist Eighteen?"

"Yes." Eighteen Souls entered the storage bag, flipped through it for a while, pulled out a booklet and handed it to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping took the book and thanked him.

There is actually no benefit in understanding the essentials of practice behind the big realm in advance, and it can easily affect your current state of mind during practice.

Therefore, generally speaking, for monks who have just entered Yuanying, it is best to only understand the key points that need to be overcome in the early and middle stages of Yuanying.

However, Fairy Biyuan’s thunder disaster is about to happen, and Chen Ping hopes to know more about it.

Seeing that nothing happened, he stood up and left:

"I'm going to practice. If my fellow Eighteen Daoists have something to do, just ask someone to call me in the cave. If there is any news from Fairy Biyuan, please let me know."

"Yeah." Shiba nodded and said:

"By the way, two monks came to look for you a few years ago. One was Jia and the other was Xu. They didn't leave any other information."

Jia Zhongshou and Xu Liang?

Could it be that there is some news from Xu Liang?

Think about it, it has been more than 150 years since I came to Tianyin Fairy City, and more than 130 years have passed since the '260-year catastrophe' mentioned by Xu Liang.

Forget it, there are only less than 130 years left before the Nascent Soul Tribulation in the human world.

Why.

Take the time to practice.

Chen Ping responded and left the attic.

Back to his cave.

Returning to his quiet room, he first took out the tome on beast control that Xu Liang had given him back then.

The ‘sea hyena and land raccoon’ captured in the sea area are introduced in this booklet.

It's just that after capturing it, it was in the critical period of attacking the Nascent Soul, and there was no time to care about it.

He quickly turned to the page of 'Sea hyena and land raccoon'.

The book not only contains beast control and beast control techniques, but also a drawing of the appearance of this monster beast and a brief introduction.

Whether it exists in the form of a sea hyena or a land raccoon, it is not liked by animal hunters.

The former is not easy to hunt.

Moreover, the quality of the meat is not good, and the effort and reward are not worthwhile.

The latter is too small.

The attack power is high and not cost-effective.

Unless the hunter finds out that it is the 'sea hyena raccoon'.

But it happens that it switches identities in front of people and exposes itself only when its life is in danger.

This has caused the sea hyena to become very rare in people's field of vision.

After the sea hyena raccoon becomes a spirit beast, it has two main values:

First, it can store the owner's divided soul.

For the beast master, this spirit beast can become his clone.

Whether it is spying on intelligence or cooperating in combat, it has valuable value.

Second, it can swallow extremely yang and extremely yin things.

When it is a sea hyena, it often lives in the cold abyss and deep sea, and has natural resistance to extremely shady things.

As a raccoon, it often lives in high-temperature magma, and can resist extremely yang things.

This extremely yin and yang thing includes the yin and yang of a monk with a special physique.

For example, some monks are born with extremely cold constitutions, and practicing to a certain extent will cause cold poison to break out. These people can choose to control the beast, a sea hyena and a land raccoon. After the beast control skill reaches a certain level, they can use the beast control skill to control the beast. The cold poison is transferred to the sea hyena and land raccoon.

Sea hyenas and land raccoons can completely digest cold poison.

Chen Ping closed the booklet, and first thought of Fairy Biyuan.

‘I don’t know if it can be effective against Yin Fire? ’

‘If it works, it can be given to Fairy Biyuan. If she is a student, even if she doesn't have time to practice dual cultivation, she doesn't have to worry about her body exploding due to the fire of Yin. ’

Chen Ping copied this page of beast control skills and stored it in a separate storage bag.

Put away the books.

Then he opened the booklet about the Small Heavenly Tribulation that Shiba had given him.

After reading it carefully, I have a certain understanding of the Heavenly Tribulation, and even the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage.

The main power of the Small Heavenly Tribulation comes from the Thunder Tribulation.

Thunder tribulation is both an opportunity and a disaster for the monks who are promoted to become gods.

If you make good use of Thunder Tribulation, your physique will be optimized to a certain extent.

Thunder Tribulation is the best thing in the world to optimize one's own physique.

none of them.

Thunder disaster can be encountered but cannot be sought.

At the same time, thunder calamity is the punishment that monks receive from heaven after they touch the laws of heaven.

Every lightning disaster is fatal.

Countless monks who attacked the gods in the later stage of Nascent Soul eventually fell to the thunder tribulation, and were blasted to pieces by the Earth God.

Therefore it is called ‘tribulation’.

There is another characteristic of thunder tribulation: no one can help, so you can only bear it by yourself.

Therefore, thunder disasters have always been the most dangerous disasters.

But there are some ways to deal with thunder tribulation.

For example, when thunder tribulation comes, taking some elixirs can resist the damage of thunder tribulation, and at the same time, you can increase the use of thunder rhyme.

Another example is that some spiritual treasures and magic weapons can weaken thunder tribulation to a certain extent.

But don't use it too much.

Once it is used too much, or if it is sensed by Heaven, it may anger Heaven and lead to a more severe thunder disaster.

Or some magical powers or secret techniques can guide the thunder tribulation to miss, but like the Lingbao, once it is sensed by the heaven, a more ferocious thunder tribulation will be waiting.

So this is a double-edged sword.

Generally speaking, unless absolutely necessary, people who want to overcome a calamity can at best use elixirs, and rarely resort to anything else.

Only when you are about to run out of gas will you take the risk.

Chen Ping closed the book.

After reading it, I realized that I was powerless and could only rely on Fairy Biyuan to do this.

However, Fairy Biyuan has been preparing for this for hundreds of years, and everything that should be prepared has already been prepared.

A year later, his Nascent Soul realm was once again consolidated.

Then I went out for a trip.

First, I went to a register store and bought some popular science materials on monks in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Then we went to Xu Liang's house.

Xu Liang is rarely at home.

Not only was Xu Liang at home, but the other yard two houses away from Xu Liang seemed to be quite lively, with people coming and going.

When Chen Ping passed by, he looked inside from the courtyard gate and saw many people wearing sackcloth and mourning.

It looks like a funeral.

Chen Ping said nothing.

Passing silently into Xu Liang's yard.

"A Nascent Soul monk is dead." Chen Ping didn't ask, but Xu Liang pointed to the courtyard and whispered.

"How did you die?" Chen Ping asked casually as the topic reached this point.

Xu Liang closed the courtyard door:

“Have you ever heard of ‘twice-transformed babies’?”

Secondary baby?

Chen Ping had never heard of it.

Seeing Chen Ping shaking his head, Xu Liang whispered:

"It's true that Fellow Daoist Chen has never heard of it. 'Second transformation of infants' has now become a heretic, and few people take this path."

The so-called second transformation of the infant is to become a Yuanying monk, then crush the Yuanying again, let the Yuanying return to become a virtual spirit, and then break through to the Yuanying again. This is called the 'second transformation of the infant'.

There are many benefits to having a second baby.

The Nascent Soul will be extremely powerful.

But the road is very dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will die. After all, you want to destroy the Nascent Soul, so few people choose to do this.

"A talented monk from that family was very conceited and chose this path, and as a result he died."

This method seems unreliable at first sight.

Is there any way to survive after crushing Yuanying?

It's too dangerous to even have a chance of survival.

Chen Ping has no interest in this, and he will not touch a fatal and dangerous opportunity no matter how valuable it is.

Hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but glance in the direction of that house again.

Why.

After finally becoming a Nascent Soul monk, why don’t you know how to cherish life?

"What a pity." Chen Ping said.

"What's a pity? It's all your own choice. Doesn't this person know that this road is dangerous? He just can't resist the temptation of the benefits brought by the second transformation of the baby. They are all people who have lived for hundreds of years. They have to pay for their own Choose to be responsible." Xu Liang said, then smiled again:

"Just like Xu, if you choose to avenge your master, you must always be prepared for the day when you die."

Chen Ping smiled and said nothing.

This is the first time Chen Ping has been a guest in Xu Liang's house.

There was not a single servant in the house, he was alone. There were not many items, but the furnishings were very messy, with the few items staggered around in the house.

Many windows in the room have been sealed by Xu Liang's magic tools, so the light is very poor.

Even during the day, it looked very dim.

Because of Chen Ping's arrival, Xu Liang lit an extra spark lamp.

Chen Ping felt as if he had returned to Tianhai City back then, and the dark cave he saw when he first visited Xu Liang.

"I'm usually alone and too lazy to take care of myself. Fellow Daoist Chen, I'll leave you alone." Xu Liang smiled sheepishly.

"It's okay." Chen Ping smiled.

After sitting down, I realized that Xu Liang's face was radiant, as if he had become countless years younger all of a sudden, and his breath was also much richer.

I was just talking and didn't pay attention to this.

Now that he was free, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, Chen Ping naturally sensed the changes in Xu Liang's cultivation:

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xu for being promoted to True Lord Nascent Soul."

It seems that these years of traveling have not always been to explore the secrets of his master, but also to solve the cultivation issues along the way.

Xu Liang smiled:

"Isn't it the same with Fellow Daoist Chen? When I met Fellow Daoist Chen in Tianhai City back then, Fellow Daoist Chen was still a monk in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, right? Fellow Daoist Chen is worthy of congratulations. Xu is already very old."

Xu Liang was originally the master's direct disciple, with extraordinary talents. It was only after his master died that he never came out, which delayed his practice.

At normal speed, he would have already reached Nascent Soul.

But now it seems that Xu Liang is worthy of congratulations for being promoted to the Nascent Soul realm at an age that is about to end his life.

The two congratulated each other, and Chen Ping said:

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Jia went to the City Lord's Mansion to look for me. Is there something wrong?"

Xu Guangming nodded and shook his head:

"It's nothing important, just discovered some things about the dome ruins."

Chen Ping recalled the call for help from the monster that he heard in the Dome Desert, and couldn't help but listen carefully.

"Chen Daoyou still remembers that Xu said that the remnant soul of Xu's master can be more clear-headed near the dome ruins and can more easily recall the events of the past. Do you still remember?" Xu Liang looked grim.

Chen Ping nodded: "Of course I remember."

Xu Liang frowned:

"Xu already knows why. Xu's master was killed by white-bearded Taoists, and those white-bearded Taoists carry a unique Taoist charm. The reason why Xu's master can remember it more clearly at the dome site is because It is because the dao rhyme there is the same as the dao rhyme on the white-bearded Taoist."

Chen Ping couldn't help but tighten his hands.

He understood what Xu Liang meant—the ruins of the dome were related to the group of Taoists with white beards.

And those white-bearded Taoists are the decision-makers and executors of the catastrophe of the Nascent Soul monks in the human world in the '260-year period'.

In other words, the ruins of the dome are closely linked to the coming catastrophe.

Chen Ping thought of something and asked quickly:

"Could it be that? That ruins is the legendary 'Shengxian Valley'?"

"Probably not." Xu Liang shook his head:

"The Shengxian Valley has existed for a long time, tens of thousands of years ago. Even two or three thousand years ago, monks from various major sects were exploring the Dome Ruins, searching for opportunities. It was only in the past thousand years that the resources have been exhausted. It’s off the beaten path, no one goes there anymore.”

"If that is the Immortal Ascension Valley, it should have been explored by those talented sect monks long ago."

After denying it, Xu Liang said again:

"But from a Taoist perspective, the dome ruins must have some inextricable connection with Shengxian Valley."

Chen Ping was thoughtful.

The dome ruins may not be as clearly explored as Xu Liang described.

Otherwise, how could that god-level monster be trapped there without anyone knowing about it?

Of course, it is also possible that the Demon Clan's being trapped was a recent event and has nothing to do with it thousands of years ago. This is unknown.

Chen Ping wanted to ask for more information, but Xu Liang didn't know much. Xu Liang had always cultivated Jindan before, and the places he could explore were limited.

However, Xu Liang has often gone to the dome ruins over the years to warm up his master's remnant soul, trying to get his master to recall more information.

"Xu told fellow Taoist Chen this to remind fellow Taoist Chen not to go to the dome ruins as much as possible. There may be secrets in the dome ruins that you and I don't know about. But what they are, Xu doesn't know yet." Xu Liang reminded.

Chen Ping is the most important person to help him awaken the remnant soul of his master, so he is willing to share the information he has discovered with Chen Ping.

"Thank you Daoist Xu for informing me. These things are of great value to me in ensuring my own safety. Thank you very much." Chen Ping said his thanks again seriously.

Xu Liang said politely:

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Chen. Without Fellow Daoist Chen's help, Xu's master may not have woken up yet, so where would he have gotten this information?"

At this point, Xu Liang talked about another thing:

"Speaking of safety, there is one more thing."

"There are only more than a hundred years left before the imprisonment and restoration of the catastrophe. Those white-bearded Taoists have begun to move again. Xu once encountered them when he went out. Fellow Taoist Chen should be careful."

Chen Ping's heart tightened.

In more than a hundred years, are you starting to select people?

Through previous exchanges with Xiyue, I learned that the providers of channel confinement are generally Nascent Soul monks, and they are generally talented Nascent Soul monks who have a relatively high perception of spiritual energy and Tao Yun.

Not everyone is qualified to be a channel confinement provider.

In the eyes of many people, this still seems to be an honor.

In other words, there seems to be no shortage of channels to confine donors on weekdays, and even some Nascent Souls who want to be donors are not qualified.

But it’s time for the confinement to be repaired, which is a rare occasion in thousands of years.

Providers will become insufficient.

To be precise, a temporary provider or a sacrificer becomes insufficient.

Those who don't know may still like to be donors, but monks like Chen Ping who know that 'sacrifice' is required to a certain extent will naturally avoid such things.

In this case, these white-bearded Taoists will move around and select target monks.

Now it seems that the secret search for a target has begun a hundred years in advance.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu, for reminding me." Chen Ping thanked him again.

Xu Liang nodded and said:

"Also, if Fellow Daoist Chen comes to see Xu in the future, try to come at night as much as possible."

"Xu designed to kill a white-bearded Taoist at the Nascent Soul level a few years ago. Although they haven't been able to find out that it was me, Xu will definitely continue to kill him in the future. It would be bad if Taoist fellow Chen is implicated."

Chen Ping was speechless for a moment.

On the one hand, he and Xu Liang have the same goal, and neither wants to become a prisoner and sacrificer.

On the other hand, Xu Liang is indeed a source of trouble.

This guy is willing to give up his own cultivation and immortality, and only wants to avenge his master. He must be capable of all kinds of crazy things.

Who knows when the white-bearded Taoist will come to your door.

Chen Ping and Xu Liang have different styles. They are not as crazy as Xu Liang and prefer to act in secret.

He is also more interested in his own path to immortality.

You really have to keep a distance from Xu Liang.

He didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only nod expressionlessly.

The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Ping stood up and left.

When he went outside, he discovered that the sky above Tianyin Fairy City was full of dark clouds. Chen Ping's heart tightened. Could it be that Fairy Biyuan's disaster was coming.

He quickly returned to Bixian Pavilion.

Only then did I realize that many people in Bixian Pavilion were standing on the road or inside Bixian Pavilion, looking up at the sky.

Shiba and Rongrong are also there.

"Is the thunder disaster coming?" Chen Ping walked to Shiba.

Shiba looked at the dark clouds in the sky with a solemn expression:

"It also appeared once three years ago, but then it dispersed on its own. I don't know if it will really come this time."

Chen Ping said nothing more and just looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.

After waiting like this for a long time, there was no movement from Fairy Biyuan's cave, and in the sky, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the sun cleared again.

Chen Ping could sense the complex emotions on the faces of Shiba beside him.

It seems a bit regretful.

He seemed relieved again.

Chen Ping actually has this contradictory mentality himself.

He glanced at everyone who was leaving, and then walked up the steps and returned to his cave to practice.
