The Path to Immortality

Leave from the teahouse private room.

After discussing the details of the cooperation with the cultivator surnamed Sheng, Fang Ping, who was about to return to the cave to complete the commission as soon as possible, was suddenly startled.

In an instant, he left the place as if he had not noticed anything.

However, in his heart, Fang Ping had secretly raised his vigilance.

Just now, he felt a hint of peeping.

That person's spiritual awareness was quite good, stronger than that of ordinary foundation-building perfect cultivators, but there was still some gap between him and Fang Ping, so Fang Ping could detect it instantly.

"Is it an accident, or?"

Guessing several possibilities in his heart, Fang Ping casually landed on a crowded street in Xianzhoufang City and strolled around as Yan Feng.

However, in the next quarter of an hour, the person who had secretly spied on him before did not appear again. During this period of "wandering", Fang Ping did not notice anyone following him.

"Could it really be just an accident?"

Since there was no result, Fang Ping didn't care too much about it. He found a deserted place, released the Illusion Body Technique, and flew back to Yuanyangzhou Cave.

After finishing today's practice as usual.

Fang Ping took out the array diagram with the [Nine Flames Divine Fire Array], and with the help of the Tianshu Array Plate, he quickly comprehended and deduced it.

After setting up the Tianfeng Four Spirits Array by himself, arrays below the second level were almost no difficulty for him.

But it is still difficult to master the second-level inferior array in a short period of time.

Fortunately, he didn't need to fully understand the array at the moment, let alone set it up by himself. He just needed to find the common points between the Nine Flames Divine Fire Array and the incomplete second-level array, and then use the Tianshu Array Plate to deduce a way to break it.

As for how to verify that the deduced method is feasible?

No array cultivator can guarantee success in breaking the array, not to mention that Fang Ping has said it before. If it doesn't work, the worst case scenario is to let that cultivator Sheng run a few more errands. Anyway, it was he who made the extra request, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

Maybe he was lucky.

With the help of the Tianshu array disk, Fang Ping used a trick and deduced two sets of solutions that seemed to be able to crack the array in less than a month.

"So... there should be 50% to 60% certainty!"

As for which of the two solutions is correct, or whether both are not feasible, then it can only be verified by Master Sheng himself.

Taking out the communication talisman left by Master Sheng, Fang Ping contacted the other party again.

………

Knowing that "Yan Feng" had found a way, Master Sheng couldn't wait to invite him to meet, and the location was still the teahouse where they met last time.

Perhaps he was quite satisfied with "Yan Feng"'s efficiency, or out of trust in Fang Ping, after getting the solution to crack the array from him, he readily paid 3,000 merits on the spot.

The remaining 1,000 merits will be paid after confirming that the plan is feasible.

Fang Ping had no objection to this.

After wishing the other party a successful trip and gaining a lot, Fang Ping stood up and was about to leave.

But what he didn't expect was that when he left the teahouse this time, Fang Ping felt the vague peeping again.

The same place, and also after meeting the monk surnamed Sheng...

If one time could be a coincidence, then encountering peeping in succession would hardly be described as a coincidence.

"Is it coming for me?"

Fang Ping still looked unaware, slowly leaving the place, but thinking in his heart.

But after thinking for a few short breaths, he shook his head.

The identity of Yan Feng was completely made up by Fang Ping. It only appeared twice in total, so it is unlikely to be targeted by anyone.

So, the other party came for Monk Sheng?

Sure enough, it was Monk Sheng's actions that attracted the covetousness of those who were interested!

After all, it was an ancient monk's cave guarded by a second-level formation. Monk Sheng was so interested in it, who knew what kind of treasures could be found in it?

In order to verify his judgment, after flying away from here, Fang Ping used the Illusion Body Technique to quickly transform into another identity. He put on the Cold Spider Heavenly Clothes and returned to the teahouse quietly.

He just happened to meet the cultivator surnamed Sheng who had paid the spirit stone and walked out of the teahouse.

"Sure enough, someone has set his sights on this cultivator surnamed Sheng..."

Almost at the same time, Fang Ping realized something, and his spiritual sense locked onto a female cultivator who was casually strolling about 150 feet away.

Although it is not clear what the plan is for the time being, it can be imagined that the fate waiting for this cultivator Sheng will not be too good.

"Forget it, for the sake of the 1,000 merits that have not yet been paid and the Nine Flames Divine Fire Array Diagram, after returning, I will use the identity of Liu Wuchen to give this person a little advice."

As for more, such as directly helping to capture the person, it is not within Fang Ping's consideration.

After all, the female cultivator was just secretly spying and tracking, and Fang Ping could not produce any evidence other than that. Even if the law enforcement team was called, the female cultivator would have a reason to shirk responsibility.

Just as Fang Ping, who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, was about to turn around and leave.

The cultivator surnamed Sheng, who had flown away from the flying boat, turned around and flew to the north of the Xianzhou Market, with the sign of leaving the market directly.

"This..."

Watching him disappear rapidly in the escape light, Fang Ping's face was a little strange.

Could it be that this person had already made preparations and was just waiting to get the method to crack the formation from him, and then he would immediately set out to explore the ancient cultivator's cave?

This temper is a bit too impatient!

The female cultivator did not seem surprised at all. She took out a talisman that seemed to have a communication function from her storage bag and activated it with her magic power.

If nothing unexpected happened, it seemed that there was more than one person who was targeting Monk Sheng. There might be accomplices lying in ambush outside the Xianzhou Market!

"Well!"

Fang Ping did not mind saving the other party for just a little effort.

The most important thing was that it was not too much to ask for a few thousand good deeds as a reward for saving his life.

With the help of the cover of the Cold Spider Heavenly Clothes, Fang Ping adjusted the direction of the escape light and chased after it from a distance.

………

Two hours later.

Over the uninhabited wilderness north of the Xianzhou Market.

Monk Sheng, who was flying with his escape light, seemed to have suddenly realized something. He stopped the escape light in doubt and looked around.

"I was discovered!"

"Fellow Daoist Sheng is really cautious."

With a malicious chuckle, the two monks lifted the effect of the concealment talisman and suddenly appeared.

Almost at the same time, the female cultivator from before quickly chased from behind, blocked the retreat of the cultivator surnamed Sheng, and surrounded him.

Each of these three people's cultivation was not inferior to the cultivator surnamed Sheng.

Such a situation was no less than a desperate situation for the surrounded.

However, the cultivator surnamed Sheng did not show much panic on his face, but just frowned and looked at the three people: "Just you three?"

From his tone, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the ambush of only three people.

"This guy is so arrogant!"

The three robbery cultivators were more or less angered by the contempt inadvertently revealed by the cultivator surnamed Sheng.

One of the male cultivators wearing a white hair crown, suspected to be the leader of the three, immediately said: "Stop talking nonsense, take him down first, and torture him to get the information about the ancient cultivator's cave, so as not to have more trouble at night!"
