The Path to Immortality

Inside the cave of the inn.

Putting on his new Taoist robe, Fang Ping waved his hand to form a blurry water mirror and looked at the person in the mirror.

Although his appearance is just ordinary, he has an extraordinary temperament as a Taoist. Coupled with the blue spiritual snake robe on his body, it is obvious at a glance that he must be a true cultivator!

With the completion of all three magical weapons, Fang Ping, whose combat power had greatly increased, descended the mountain along the same route.

After leaving the range of the Forbidden Air Array, he used the Object Control Technique to activate the Flowing Fire Flying Sword, and his entire body rose into the air and flew into the air!

At the beginning, Fang Ping was a little uncomfortable.

I was quite unfamiliar with controlling the flying sword, and there were several dangers, and I almost fell out of the air.

Fortunately, he didn't dare to fly high in the first place, and was almost three to five feet above the ground.

This height is not a big problem for monks in the middle stage of Qi training. Even if they fall, they will only be slightly injured at most.

After groping for a quarter of an hour, Fang Ping finally found some skills in sword flying.

Like a novice driver who just got his driver's license and is excited to hit the road, he flies freely in the air.

As the height continues to increase, the ground under your feet quickly becomes smaller, and you feel a sense of detachment and freedom, as if you have become an immortal who has been watching for a long time.

This feeling is easy to get addicted to.

Yu Jian flew around the mountain gate for a long time, until most of his mana was consumed, he changed direction and landed on Tiandu Peak.

………

The beginning of the month.

Quarterly chores are announced again.

A large number of outer disciples poured into the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

In the past, Fang Ping would definitely not have chosen this time to squeeze in. Instead, he would have waited a few days and missed the peak flow of people.

But this time, he was more concerned about the exploration of Lingshi veins, so he made an exception and came early.

He gave off a slight aura of the middle stage of Qi training along the way. The outer disciples who had just started the year before last noticed his strength and all showed respect. Either stop and say hello, or take the initiative to get out of the way.

"Hello, senior brother!"

"This senior brother invited me."

With the courtesy of his fellow juniors, Fang Ping entered the Foreign Affairs Hall faster than expected.

Looking at the bamboo slips hanging on the wall behind Deacon Zhao from a distance, Fang Ping observed for a moment, his expression was normal, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

"I don't seem to notice any changes. Most of the handymen are the same as before!"

Fang Ping didn't think that Liu Wuchen, one of the three outstanding figures in the outer sect, would spread false news about such a big matter.

That would only do a huge disservice to his own credibility.

"It seems that the upper echelons of the sect may be more calm than imagined, or may have other plans."

Fang Ping made this guess.

No matter what, this is good news for the lower-level disciples.

I can also have a few more months of stable cultivation time.

After queuing for a while, Fang Ping came to Deacon Zhao.

Although now he no longer has to worry about being kicked out, he does not need to care too much about the deacon's attitude.

But after all, the opponent was a master at the tenth level of Qi training, and had a chance to attack the foundation.

If it is not necessary, it is best not to offend the other party.

Fang Ping still showed a respectful attitude and said: "Deacon Zhao, my disciple Fang Ping is here to do some chores."

In front of many outer disciples, Deacon Zhao still had an indifferent look on his face. He looked at him for a few times, and a look of surprise flashed across his face: "I remember, you were practicing at the third level of Qi a few months ago, right? When did you advance to the level? In the middle stage of Qi training?”

Fang Ping said seriously: "Just a few days ago, I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough."

Deacon Zhao picked up the thick account book from under the table, flipped through it for a moment, and said in deep thought: "A few years before you entered the profession, you were doing simple chores. Now, you have entered the middle stage of Qi training and your strength has improved greatly. You should repay the sect and do some more difficult chores."

At first glance, this sounds a bit like being targeted and suppressed.

In fact, Fang Ping knew that the rules of the outer sect had always been like this.

After a disciple enters the middle stage of Qi training, sooner or later he will have to go out to do some tasks such as hunting monsters and hunting down cultivators.

This is also one of the reasons why he started to enhance his combat power in advance.

Moreover, Deacon Zhao was not targeting him deliberately, but was treating almost all his disciples like this.

Therefore, although Fang Ping dislikes this person in his heart, he will not show it.

If you argue with reason and argue that you have made a new breakthrough and your realm is unstable, it doesn't mean that you can't delay it for another three months.

But this is bound to annoy the other party, which is unnecessary.

Immediately followed Deacon Zhao's words and said: "Deacon teaches, and disciples listen attentively. I wonder what kind of handymen can be done?"

Deacon Zhao felt a little disappointed when he saw that Fang Ping actually had no objection and was still thinking of finding a way to lecture him.

He glanced at the wall behind him, cast a burst of magic power, and summoned another row of bamboo slips.

Compared with many of the previous handymen, the number of these relatively difficult handymen, which are only for monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training, is much smaller.

Fang Ping knew that this deacon had an impatient personality and could easily become impatient, so he took the time to make a selection.

"Go to the Xishan Mine and stay in the mine for a month. During this period, you must kill a small number of monsters that may appear in the mine, as well as the robbery cultivators that may be looted. The basic reward is the contribution of forty sects, and the killing of the robbery cultivators is additional."

"In the Yunzhou County of Liang State, it is suspected that there is a demon cultivator from a casual cultivator background. It is speculated that his strength is in the early stage of Qi training, and there are several innate warriors under his command to assist. It is necessary to find out this matter, kill all the demon cultivators, and reward the contribution of sixty sects. ”

"The Chen family, a vassal force of the sect and a cultivator family, recently encountered a monster attacking the medicine field. The monster's species is unknown, and it can be determined that its strength does not exceed the middle stage of Qi training, but it comes and goes like the wind, and it is elusive, so it is difficult to confirm its whereabouts. Those who have the corresponding means of restraint can help the Chen family get rid of this monster, and reward the sect with fifty contributions."

………

After quickly skipping over a dozen chores, Fang Ping initially had a preference in his mind.

Some tasks seem to have clear goals and can be completed in the past, but the tasks are very difficult.

Some chores look simple, but there may be hidden risks.

For example, to eliminate the demon cultivators in Yunzhou County City of Liang State.

If you don't have enough strength, it's best not to go, because the uncertainty is too great.

Some chores are completely based on luck.

For example, if you are stationed in a mine cave, you don't have to do anything if you are lucky, and you can complete it easily. If you are unlucky, you may encounter a monster or even a robber cultivator attack, and you may die!

After looking around, one of the tasks of hunting monsters made Fang Ping relatively satisfied.

The mission objective was clear, which was to hunt down a Qi-training monster that had fled to the mortal world.

Baoyuan Mountain was located in the secular world of Liang State. The concentration of spiritual energy there was not high, and it was almost impossible for a Qi-training monster to be active in the middle stage.

With his current strength, dealing with a Qi-training monster at most at the third level would be easy, wouldn't it?

The only drawback was that Baoyuan Mountain was a bit far from Luoyang Sect, and it would take a lot of time to travel.

Fortunately, he had bought a flying sword in advance, which could save him a lot of time.

"Disciple, I will take on this task of dealing with the monster."

After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Ping pointed to the selected bamboo slips.

"Deal with a Qi-training monster in the early stage?"

Deacon Zhao curled his lips, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Fang Ping's conservative choice.

But after all, he could not violate the sect's rules and forcefully assign the task, so he could only take out the account book, write down his name and choice, and then throw over a map and a letter of help forwarded from the Liang State Demon Extermination Division.
