The Path to Immortality

Noticing Liu Wuchen's meaningful look, Fang Ping's heart moved and he had some guesses.

He said: "Could it be related to the turmoil in the sect caused by Elder Wang's failure to form a pill?"

Liu Wuchen nodded: "The loss of power in the Wang family has caused a series of job turmoil. After the open and secret struggles among the other courtyards, families, and master-disciple factions, there are still dozens of hard jobs outside that no disciples are willing to take over. As far as I know, the sect's upper echelons will soon issue an announcement to forcibly assign disciples with late Qi training to take over these positions."

"Are they really going to forcibly assign them?"

Fang Ping suddenly felt a little worried.

Liu Wuchen said in a firm tone: "Nine out of ten! Of course, the sect also knows that this move will make the disciples dissatisfied. As compensation, this assignment will be regarded as a kind of training. As long as you return from your duties, you don't need to go out for training before building your foundation. In addition, there will be a lot of rewards in terms of spirit stones, elixirs, and contributions to the sect."

After that, Liu Wuchen looked at Fang Ping and reminded him: "Brother Fang, you can also consider it. Either before the list is announced, hurry up and apply for a trip. Or find a way to smooth the relationship, preferably as soon as possible. Once the list of forced assignments comes out, it will be difficult to change it."

Fang Ping's expression became serious and thanked Liu Wuchen for his reminder.

"See you in three years!"

Seeing Fang Ping take note seriously, Liu Wuchen smiled and waved his hand, soared into the air, flew into the sky, and left very simply.

………

Back from Liu Wuchen.

Fang Ping did not hesitate and immediately went to Zhengyang Hall to apply for a trip.

Anyway, sooner or later, I have to go out and find a safe place to practice for three years, which is better than being sent to a small place.

As for the factions, there are only a few dozen vacancies, and the sect may not assign one to me...

Fang Ping knew it in his heart.

When he first entered the inner sect, on the question of whether to become a disciple of a foundation-building cultivator, Fang Ping chose not to become a disciple, but to practice on his own.

This move has its pros and cons.

On weekdays, it certainly saves him a lot of time, and he doesn't need to run errands for his master, nor does he need to pay tribute. Correspondingly, no one can help you speak for you at critical moments.

As for the faction, although Fang Ping is from the other courtyard and has met several disciples of the other courtyard, he doesn't know the real important figures in the other courtyard.

Not to mention, among the three major factions in the sect, the other courtyard is the weakest.

In the game of the vacant sect positions this time, the other courtyard is also clearly at a disadvantage.

In other matters, the other courtyard faction may be able to stand together with the master-disciple faction, but when it comes to specific interests, the master-disciple faction will obviously not make too many concessions.

In this case, once faced with a hard task that was forcibly assigned, it was only natural that Fang Ping, a marginal person who had no master and no one in the faction who could help him, would be the first to be pushed out.

"Fortunately, Senior Brother Liu's reminder was very timely!"

Fang Ping was already prepared. Once the application for travel was approved, he would leave the mountain overnight to avoid more trouble.

However, he still underestimated the speed of information spread within the sect.

Only two hours after his application for travel was submitted, a communication talisman was sent back, rejecting Fang Ping's application.

To be precise, it was not a rejection.

The reason given was: too many disciples had traveled recently, which had affected the normal operation of the sect and the completion of miscellaneous tasks. Let Fang Ping wait a little and apply again in a month.

"One month later?"

Fang Ping immediately understood the implicit meaning of this communication talisman and sneered.

Let alone a month, I'm afraid it will be too late to apply in a few days!

At this time, another communication talisman flew over.

This time it came from Senior Brother Jiang Yucheng.

What he mentioned in the communication talisman was similar to Liu Wuchen's reminder before.

The news that the sect was about to recruit disciples to go abroad had already spread secretly in the sect. Anyone with some connections and backgrounds began to work on their relationships early so that Fang Ping could prepare early.

"The application for traveling was rejected! This is a bit difficult..."

Looking at the two communication talismans, Fang Ping frowned.

In fact, if he had to say it, he still knew two foundation-building cultivators.

For example, Elder Wu of the outer sect.

And Taoist Yun Yi, who he met when studying ancient Taoist texts.

Since meeting the two people, Fang Ping, who knew that he was short of connections, has always paid attention to maintaining his relationship with them, and occasionally brought some gifts that were not too expensive but enough to show his heart.

Although he didn't get the opportunity to visit them in person every time, at least the incense was still there.

At this moment, if he really prepared a generous gift and visited them, he might be able to persuade them to speak.

But the problem is that this kind of unreliable relationship is not easy to play a role once.

Fang Ping must consider whether it is worthwhile to use it so rashly for this mandatory assignment!

He paced slowly in the cave, thinking about the final decision.

"The hard work of this outing is avoided by the disciples of the sect. After careful consideration, there are only two concerns."

"One is safety, and the other is whether it will affect cultivation."

In terms of safety, it is actually not bad. Liangguo is still relatively peaceful as a whole. Although there are some conflicts between the five major immortal gates, there is no real risk of the immortal gates.

In this case, whether it is to go to Liangguo to be a royal family worshiper, or to work in some more remote places such as the market and the lower house, safety is not a big problem.

As for cultivation...

After leaving Luo Yunfeng's second-grade upper-grade spiritual vein, the spiritual energy in Xiaofang City and the lower courtyards of various places is relatively thin.

If you go to the secular world of Liang State, the spiritual energy will be even thinner and almost extinct.

If you want to maintain your cultivation, you can only rely on the spiritual stones and elixirs carried by the cultivators.

If it is for a short period of time, the disciples can still afford it.

If you go for five or even ten years, the resources consumed will be an astonishing number.

Most of the inner disciples may not be able to hold on.

But Fang Ping has the skills of alchemy, and he is not short of spiritual stones, not to mention that he made a big deal two years ago and swept away the entire Black Water Sect's income!

Ordinary cultivation resources have never been a problem for him.

"Since the safety problem is not big and it will not delay cultivation, what should I be afraid of?"

After figuring out these two questions, Fang Ping felt at ease.

Moreover, because of Wang Chen's death, the struggle between the three major factions in the sect will inevitably be intensified to a certain extent in the next few years.

The dispute caused by the sect position this time is the most direct example.

In this situation, it might not be a bad thing for me to go with the flow and avoid going out for a while. It would also save me from having to go out for three years of training in the future. It could be said that I was killing two birds with one stone.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Fang Ping did not make any unnecessary moves and began to wait for the sect's upper echelons to announce the list of disciples to be sent out.

As for whether he would be on the list of disciples to be recruited by the sect...

Fang Ping had no doubts.

He had a strong premonition that his name would definitely be on the list!
