I will survive with proficiency

"Um?"

"There is actually a human monk?"

"Come here and follow me to practice magic skills. I will spare your life."

"Otherwise. Hehe."

"Click~"

The middle-aged monk chuckled, and a floating leaf in front of him instantly turned into powder.

As soon as Chen Ping came out of the cave, he heard the above-mentioned sound coming from the hilltop ahead.

The owner of the voice is a middle-aged monk.

This middle-aged monk is surprisingly the same middle-aged monk with demonic and demonic aura who fought Shangguan Ruolin more than sixty years ago.

The true god of transformation.

only.

The middle-aged monk is wearing a simple robe. It seems that the robe has been worn for many years. It has long lost its cleanliness restrictions and has been stained with some stains. The corners of the robe are even tattered and damaged.

This image is completely inconsistent with the identity of the True God Transformation Lord.

The middle-aged monk looked lean and thin. Although he was unkempt, he looked energetic.

Chen Ping flew over, cupped his hands and said:

"Uncle, do you want me to practice magic skills?"

"Uncle?" The middle-aged monk turned around and looked around with a confused look on his face: "Where is your uncle? What is your cultivation level? Is it enough for me to fight?"

Chen Ping smiled:

"so."

"Should this junior call you Demon King?"

"Or the Demon King?"

"Or Ji Xiuyuan, Uncle Ji?"

Um?

The middle-aged monk looked at Chen Ping intently, and then laughed:

"Boy, you actually know my name? Tell me, how did you recognize me? You must know that I, Lao Ji, have traveled across the three realms for hundreds of years, relying on a perfect disguise."

Chen Ping did not answer directly, but said:

"So, the two opportunities for spiritual heart were both gifts from my uncle, right?"

"Oh? Why?" Ji Xiuyuan's eyes widened, noncommittal.

He looked at Chen Ping with a look of seeking solutions.

Chen Ping wanted to say that he had just guessed it.

Chen Ping heard the name Ji Xiuyuan for the first time when he saw the Jiyuan statue and heard it when Xiyue told the story of the Moyang boundary wall.

Knowing that he still has such a rebellious uncle.

Not just rebelling.

Back then, we almost blew up the Moyang Boundary Wall.

But I had only heard of this name, and I never thought that I would have any interaction with such a person.

So when he got such a great opportunity as the Heart of Spiritual Vein in Zhumo Field, the first thing he suspected was Xiyue.

After Xi Yue refuted the rumor, she was convinced that it was Yin Yue who did it.

It wasn't until I entered here and entered the Lingxi Corridor that I saw the middle-aged monk in front of me that I knew the truth.

The heart that knows the spiritual veins is not given by Silver Moon.

"Oh? Why? Ji remembers that Shangguan Ruolin didn't mention my name, so he guessed that I am Ji Xiuyuan just based on the nicknames of several devil kings, demon kings, and human kings?"

After hearing what Chen Ping said, Ji Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

Chen Ping smiled:

"Of course more than that."

"These just further confirm my suspicions."

"What really makes me conclude is the appearance of my uncle."

Ji Xiuyuan became even more curious:

"Appearance? Have you seen me before?"

Another thing he didn't say - appearance can be disguised, and in the world of immortality, identifying others by their appearance is the most unreliable.

Chen Ping shook his head:

"I've never seen a real person."

"But when Fairy Biyuan was in deep pain of being burned, and I refused to practice dual cultivation with Fairy Biyuan, my uncle appeared in Tianyin Fairy City, right?"

Ji Xiuyuan became even more curious.

Chen Ping continued:

"When Junior Master was at the border wall of Moyang, he deceived the frightened weapon spirit into lameness, causing it to die and turn into an evil spirit."

"Its hatred for my uncle is unforgettable. It was the one who sensed my uncle's appearance when we were in Tianyin Fairy City."

After Smiling Fox got the frightening drum toy, the fragments of the picture in his memory were repaired to a certain extent.

Among those scenes, Chen Ping had seen Ji Xiuyuan's scene.

The picture of deceiving the weapon spirit back then.

The picture is sparse and fragmented.

But at least Chen Ping could see Ji Xiuyuan's face clearly.

thereafter.

When he was in Tianyin Fairy City, when Fairy Biyuan was burned by fire and her life was in danger, Smiling Fox once had a bad temper and was uneasy.

Chen Ping and the Smiling Fox have a master-servant relationship. By empathizing with the Smiling Fox, you can share its memories.

Through empathy, he realized that the reason why Smiling Fox was manic and restless was because the image of Ji Xiuyuan appeared in Smiling Fox's mind.

It sensed Ji Xiuyuan's appearance in Tianyin City.

Afterwards, when he transformed into an infant for the second time, the Smiling Fox once again became manic and restless.

Same reason.

Until then, Chen Ping only knew that his uncle was still alive and active in the human world.

But I don’t know what he is like.

I don’t know his cultivation level or other circumstances.

Until now we meet again at Lingxi Corridor.

Chen Ping secretly released the Smiling Fox again, and as expected, he behaved manically, further confirming the identity of the person in front of him.

Of course looks can be deceiving.

But the Smiling Fox's perception doesn't.

"I see. I didn't expect that weapon spirit to be so vengeful." Ji Xiuyuan looked surprised as if it had nothing to do with him.

He smashed his mouth and said:

"Why do you say that the heart of the spiritual vein was given to you by me?"

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows: "I guessed."

It's indeed a guess.

But it is also based on certain facts.

Zhuimo Field is a spatial crack created by the Moyang Boundary Wall, and is in the same vein as the Moyang Boundary Wall.

And if there is anyone who is very familiar with Mo Yang's boundary wall, besides Xi Yue, it can only be Ji Xiuyuan.

Now when the Lingxi Corridor once again obtained the heart of the spiritual vein, Ji Xiuyuan appeared right here again.

One has to doubt.

The biggest confusion lies in those Jiannanchun wine bottles. The marks inside are all information that only Chen Ping and Xiyue know.

But if Ji Xiuyuan is a monk who transforms into gods, and his senior brother is Xi Yue, and he is very familiar with Xi Yue, it will not be difficult to steal Xi Yue's Jian Nanchun wine flask and some secrets quietly.

After listening to Chen Ping's analysis, Ji Xiuyuan nodded and said with a smile:

"Although it's just a guess. But it does make sense."

Then he looked at Chen Ping with interest:

"Since you guessed that it was my uncle who gave me the opportunity, guess why? Why did Ji, the dignified True Master Ji, help you? You must know that you were only a mid-stage Golden Core True Master back then?"

Chen Ping has some guesses about this.

But I didn’t want to say it, I just said:

"Please ask my uncle to clarify my doubts."

No benefit, no early morning.

Chen Ping didn't believe that just because he was Xi Yue's apprentice and Ji Xiuyuan was Xi Yue's master, Ji Xiuyuan had given him such a great opportunity twice.

If Ji Xiuyuan really paid attention to cultivating the younger generation, he would not have deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, or even fallen into the devil world.

Everything has a cause and an effect.

Chen Ping guessed that Ji Xiuyuan might want something from him.

Or he discovered his talent in some aspects.

And Ji Xiuyuan needs to make use of these talents.

Chen Ping thought of the murals he saw in the cave of Zhumochang's Spiritual Heart.

"Ha, actually you have already guessed it, haven't you? You just don't want to say it." Ji Xiuyuan smiled and then said seriously:

"That's right, the murals you see in the cave of Zhumochang's Spiritual Heart are what Ji wants you to see."

Chen Ping was silent.

I once suspected that the reason why this person led him into the spiritual cave was that the spiritual heart was just a gift, and those murals were what Ji wanted him to know.

I didn't expect that to be the case.

Ji Xiuyuan made a dull sound and said:

"Sit down. Now that we've talked about it here, uncle, I wouldn't mind telling you some more ancient stories."

At this point, Ji Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with dark clouds, and the raindrops composed of memories instantly became like waterfalls.

then.

Ji Xiuyuan and Xiyue's master is a very famous monk who has very good attainments in the fields of weapon refining, alchemy, formations, etc.

Of course, their master also has another identity, that is, the imprisoned donor.

This person has many disciples. These disciples do not all practice in the same place, so the feelings between them are not very deep, and some of them even do not know each other.

Ji Xiuyuan and Xiyue are two of them.

Both of them are practicing in Xihuang.

Xiyue practices formations.

Ji Xiuyuan's specialty is weapon refining.

Xiyue is a good girl. She has no father or mother since she was a child. She regards Master as her biological parent. She has never questioned Master's words. She has made inheriting Master's mantle and becoming a prisoner supporter her life goal since she was a child.

Ji Xiuyuan was not so honest.

Rather rebellious.

By accident, Ji Xiuyuan discovered that the master might not only be a prisoner but also a planner.

Moreover, the master is not just one person.

There is a group of like-minded people.

This is nothing originally. Confinement is not something that one person can accomplish.

But Ji Xiuyuan immediately discovered that the statue inside the Moyang boundary wall that the master offered was not simple. The forbidden pattern was actually related to extracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the human world, which surprised him.

Then I discovered more secrets of Master.

He realized that the existence of these restrictions in the human world was probably related to the decline of spiritual power in the human world for tens of thousands of years.

And I'm afraid it's not just aura.

It is even related to the decline of Tao Yun.

This discovery shocked him.

Ji Xiuyuan then used the statue inside Moyang's boundary wall as a breakthrough point to explore.

Then there was the explosion of the Moyang Boundary Wall.

His deeds were immediately exposed, and fearing revenge from his master, he took the opportunity to enter the demon world through the explosive cracks in the boundary wall.

But in fact, he didn't stay in the demon world for many years before he returned to the human world again.

In the years that followed, Ji Xiuyuan continued to explore, getting closer and closer to the truth, and learned more and more secrets of the master and more and more secrets of the human world.

He finally knows why the human world's Tao Yun and spiritual energy have withered?

Why is it that even the simplest magic is difficult for most talented monks to practice to the highest level?

And all of this is actually related to confinement.

But Ji Xiuyuan was helpless.

Because this confinement really suppresses the passage of the demon world and protects the safety of the human world to a certain extent.

Until Ji Xiuyuan accidentally discovered that every time Xiyue was imprisoned, Yuanshen could be repaired faster and deeper than other donors.

After further research, he found out that it was because of a spiritual wine called Jian Nanchun.

He also knew a little bit about this unknown wine. Back then, Tianyan City was known as the Liquor City, with people making wine all over the street.

But it is extremely difficult to brew this unknown wine.

And what Xiyue drank was obviously unusual.

After that, Chen Ping appeared in his field of vision.

Then Ji Xiuyuan was surprised to find that Chen Ping was not only at the pinnacle of winemaking, but also outstanding in other skills, such as drawing talismans or some simple spells.

This is equivalent to breaking through the shackles of Tao Yun.

This gave Ji Xiuyuan the idea to use "breaking through the shackles of Tao Yun" as a breakthrough point to find an alternative prison that suppresses the passage of the demon world, and then replace the existing prison.

Completely destroy the master's plan.

And this, the first step that needs to be done is to gather these monks who can break through the shackles of Tao Yun in some aspects.

"So, when my uncle led me to the Heart of Spirit Vein cave, he wanted me to understand that there was something wrong with the Taoism in this world of immortality?"

After hearing Ji Xiuyuan's story, Chen Ping's heart was filled with ups and downs.

Shengxian Valley really extracts Tao Yun.

No wonder that even a simple spell can be created by predecessors, but it is difficult for future generations to master it by themselves.

No wonder the dome ruins closely related to Shengxian Valley have a far higher charm than other places.

This further infers that the dome site is one of the entrances to the Valley of Immortals.

But.

what is this?

What do you think the entire human world is?

"Yes." Ji Xiuyuan's mouth trembled.

He originally hoped to lead Chen Ping to the same path as him, but unfortunately, Chen Ping only took the benefits and completely forgot about it after getting the heart of the spiritual vein.

No sense of adventure.

"How is it? The opportunity given to you by your uncle is not bad, right?" Ji Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Very good, thank you, uncle." Chen Ping thanked him.

Thank you sincerely.

"Uncle, let me ask you a question. How many people like me have you taken care of?" Chen Ping said.

"How many? How many? You are the only one. You are the apprentice of my old Junior Sister Ji!" Ji Xiuyuan looked up at the sky.

I believe you.

People like Ji Xiuyuan who stand on the opposite side of the big forces have long since become human beings.

How could you place your hopes on a junior?

Chen Ping was sure that Ji Xiuyuan must have taken care of people like him a lot.

As for helping more or less, it's hard to say.

"What's going on in Shengxian Valley?" Chen Ping did not expose Ji Xiuyuan.

Ji Xiuyuan's face turned cold:

"Your master's master is from Shengxian Valley, and his status is much higher than the white-bearded old Taoist you met. Shengxian Valley is the dominant place of the entire human world. It has the power from the upper world. Those Taoist charms that have been taken away And spiritual energy, actually, it’s not. Forget it, these are not things you should understand.”

Supernal power?

Spirit world?

No wonder.

No wonder so many human gods in the human world have kept silent on this matter, and few have openly challenged it.

After transforming into a god, you have to ascend, and the destination of your ascension is the spiritual world. If this also involves the forces of the spiritual world, it is indeed enough for the human world to avoid talking about it.

Can't afford to offend him at all.

The power of the spiritual world takes action, and a dozen of the gods can be killed with one slap.

Only lawless people like Ji Xiuyuan dare to challenge authority, or people like Xu Liang who are reckless.

Then I heard Ji Xiuyuan say:

"Do your uncle a favor and think more about the mystery of imprisonment. As long as you can find a master of imprisonment who can rearrange the imprisonment that suppresses the passage of the demon world, you can destroy the existing imprisonment and restore the lost Tao Yun and spiritual energy in the human world. Take back."

This topic is too high-end.

This involves the confinement between one realm and another realm.

It is by no means comparable to just a few formations.

Chen Ping thought to himself, why are you looking for me to do something that you, the gods, can't handle?

"Uncle, I don't know much about confinement, but I would like to ask, if I make no achievements in this area in the future and cannot help my uncle, will he regret it?" Chen Ping said with a smile.

Chen Ping thought clearly.

This duel was too high-end for him, the Nascent Soul Lord, to participate in.

He came to this world of immortality to seek only one thing.

That is attaining immortality.

Perhaps what Ji Xiuyuan did was to stand on the side of morality, to understand and save the common people in the human world, and to be compassionate.

If it was a job without danger, he wouldn't mind doing it by himself.

But if it is dangerous, he will never sacrifice his life for the so-called righteousness and the common people of the world.

Therefore, he is sincerely grateful for the opportunity given by Ji Xiuyuan, and he also hopes to give some feedback if possible in the future.

But he would never become Ji Xiuyuan's pawn against Shengxian Valley.

Even if Shengxian Valley is their common enemy.

"Regret?" Ji Xiuyuan waved his hand:

"Not really."

"How can there be so many regrets? Life has always been like this. No path is absolutely certain."

"Besides, uncle, I still cough. Although uncle only bet on you, he is still very optimistic about you."

Ji Xiuyuan looked up at the sky, covering up the embarrassment of almost spilling the beans.

In fact, Chen Ping is not what he is most optimistic about.

But there were two other young monks, a boy and a girl.

Ji Xiuyuan only gave Chen Ping two opportunities to use the Heart of Spiritual Vein, but it took much more effort to deal with the two young monks. Ji Xiuyuan himself transformed into Grandpa Youdao and not only gave him the skills, but also gave him a lot of guidance in practice. .

That was the person Ji Xiuyuan really counted on.

Chen Ping actually wanted to know more about Shengxian Valley and learn more about Ji Xiuyuan's master and his own master.

However, Ji Xiuyuan might be worried about dampening Chen Ping's enthusiasm and didn't want to say too much. It's not enough to say that Chen Ping's cultivation level is not enough, he only needs to focus on training and confinement.

As for Xiyue’s master situation.

Ji Xiuyuan only said that many people thought that the old guy was dead, even Xiyue, but Ji Xiuyuan knew that the old guy was still alive.

"By the way, when Fairy Biyuan was burned by the evil fire and endangered her life, the Smiling Fox sensed my presence. Do you know what I am going to do, uncle?"

"What?"

"Because Fairy Biyuan is my junior sister, and also your master Xiyue's junior sister."

Chen Ping:? ? ?

"You really are a kid. Junior Sister Biyuan is so beautiful, beautiful and fragrant, and dual cultivation is good for you, but you actually refused. You were the only one who agreed back then, otherwise I would have tied you up and thrown you into Junior Sister's cave. .”

Chen Ping:.

"Haha, you kid... You are Junior Sister Biyuan's Taoist companion, and you are Junior Sister Xiyue's apprentice. Biyuan and Xiyue are junior sisters, so tell me, should I call you Taoist friend? Or Master Where is my nephew?"

Chen Ping:.

No wonder.

No wonder Fairy Biyuan knows Xiyue so well, and even knows Xiyue's Nascent Soul technique.

It turns out to be a senior-sister relationship.

So, Biyuan should be my uncle! !

Chen Ping rubbed his head.

"I'm waiting for you this time. I originally planned to tell you something. Now that I'm done, let's go." Ji Xiuyuan waved his hand.

Chen Ping thought that he had stayed here for more than sixty years, and asked:

"What will happen if I don't go to the Cangqing Ancient World and return to the human world?"

At this moment, more than thirty years have passed since the confinement and restoration.

Ji Xiuyuan smacked his lips:

"I have no problem with your uncle."

"But it's difficult for you. It's not that you killed those white-bearded veterans, but that you disturbed the dome ruins and had a certain impact on the subsequent imprisonment and restoration. They are eager to skin you."

Chen Ping:.

"Master, please don't talk nonsense. I heard that it was all caused by a unicorn and an old man. What does it have to do with my nephew? I don't even know where the dome ruins are."

Ji Xiuyuan chuckled:

"The ancient world of Cangqing is not bad, and it is more beneficial for my nephew to advance to become a god. With the pair of mother-and-son turtles given by my sister, it shouldn't be a problem for my nephew to pass through the Lingxi Corridor."

"Uncle, have you also been to the Cangqing Ancient Realm?" Chen Ping asked.

"Of course, my uncle is a little celebrity there, how could he not have been there?"

Chen Ping was delighted when he heard this and immediately said:

"My nephew and Master Ji are destined to be together, and I am grateful for the opportunity given by Master Ji. Does Master Ji have any old acquaintances in the Cangqing Ancient World? My nephew can pay a visit on my behalf."

Ji Xiuyuan is a god-transforming monk, and he might have a good network of connections in the Cang Qing Ancient World. Once he masters this network, it will be much easier in the Cang Qing Ancient World.

When the time comes, you can shake people off if you are in danger.

The network of relationships between gods is definitely not simple.

"Are you really willing to go?"

"Of course, keep in touch. This is what a nephew should do." Chen Ping said decisively and asked again:

"By the way, uncle, do you want to go to the Cangqing Ancient World together?"

Ji Xiuyuan chuckled:

"Haha, I won't go. My uncle caused some trouble in the Cang Qing Ancient World back then, and he is still being hunted by several major sects and families, so it's not convenient to go."

Chen Ping:? ? ?

Ji Xiuyuan added: "By the way, my uncle does have some old friends there. If you go,"

"That's it." Chen Ping interrupted:

"My nephew's cultivation level is low and his magic power is low. If he rushes to bother my uncle's old friend, he will embarrass my uncle. I thought about it and decided not to go. By the way, in view of my low cultivation level, I will avoid giving him any trouble." The uncle is embarrassed, and I ask the uncle not to mention the relationship between the junior and the uncle no matter where he goes."

Ji Xiuyuan:
