Chapter 287: Courage to Start (Thanks to Liu Erluo for 12w coins for the reward!) )
Haichang City, worship hall.
In the east area, an exquisite courtyard covering an area of fifteen or six acres was built.
The stone wall outside the courtyard is encircled, the willow hangs around, three porcelain flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides.
The courtyard is connected with each other and dotted with mountains and stones.
The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite.
The backyard is full of roses and wood carvings, and is surrounded by a sparkling blue pool.
The huge pool is occupied by a group of monsters of different shapes.
At the entrance of the stream, there is a blue water turtle, and on the lotus leaf next to it are several giant poisonous bees.
In the most spacious center, a white clam as big as a demon cow and two mussels opened, lazily breathing with the waves, spitting out strings of crystal foam, as if enjoying the scorching sun.
"Woohoo"
With a gentle crisp sound, a crane with a body length of more than a zhang and a body wrapped in jade fell from the sky in the distance, which was amazing.
As soon as he saw the bird demon swooping down, the white jade clam demon was like a great enemy, and quickly closed the shell, without seeing a single gap.
"Chirp"
The long beak of the stepping crystal crane was on the solid hard shell, and it was suddenly in pain, and it flew back with its wings unhappily, and suspended on one foot.
"It's kind of interesting, this is a real battle between cranes and mussels."
On the shore of the pool, under the shade of a tree full of spiritual peaches, there was a marble table, and there were two people seated, a man and a woman.
And while he was talking, two more cranes flew from outside the house and stepped into the pool, but their size was twice as small as the one at the beginning, and the aura on their bodies was more than a little weaker.
"Sweet potatoes have only been promoted to the second order not long ago, and their strength is far from being the opponent of Sesame. But Sesame is timid and mild-tempered, so she lets it bully. ”
The woman in the purple palace skirt snuggled on the chest of the green-robed man, smiling softly, showing her outstanding demeanor with every movement, adding a bit of color to the courtyard scenery.
These two are Chen Ping and his wife.
A few years ago, three Tajing Cranes named bitter gourd, sweet potato, and pumpkin had a contest between their clans, and finally the sweet potato won two games in a row and won the right to use Grandma Fan's corpse.
After half a year of devouring and digestion, the sweet potato lived up to expectations and advanced to the early stage of the second order.
It's a pity that the benefit of Yuan Dan's corpse to the stepping crystal crane is not as good as that of a third-order demon beast, otherwise it would not be impossible to break through the middle stage in one fell swoop.
Due to the domestication of two second-order spirit beasts, Xue Yun's strength rose again.
However, even if there was no white jade clam demon and stepping crystal crane, no one in the Chen family's sea area would dare to show her face.
Because her man is a monk of Yuandan......
"Yun'er, have you found the traces of the evil cultivators on Ghost Tooth Island?"
Pushing away the woman in his arms slightly, Chen Ping asked with a straight face.
"The spies we sent did find some clues."
The loss in his eyes flashed, and Xue Yun quickly replied: "A month ago, the people of Ghost Tooth Island were briefly repaired on Tangchong Island, 10,000 miles north of Jinrui Island. ”
"But their thieves are very cautious, and when the second wave of spies from the Worship Hall landed on Tangchong Island, there was no trace of the evil cultivator."
"If you can't rely on the backer, do you know that you are afraid?"
The corners of Chen Ping's mouth sneered, and he said in a cold tone.
Ghost Tooth Island, a notorious cult force.
When he broke into the late stage of foundation building, he planned to lead the army to eradicate it.
But unexpectedly, Ghost Tooth Island has been recruited by the Jin family to secretly do some unsightly things for the Anti-Star Sect.
At the beginning, he was afraid that the Reverse Star Sect was powerful, so Chen Ping had to give up for the time being.
With the support of the Jin family behind it, in just over 20 years, Ghost Tooth Island has grown into the largest evil cultivation force in the vicinity, and there is no one.
However, since the siege of Jinrui Island, the evil cultivators of Ghost Tooth Island are afraid of the revenge of the Broken Star Gate, and often do not stay in one place for a long time, and begin to become elusive and difficult to find.
"To deal with such a cunning rat, don't send spies to inquire, they won't give you time to react."
After closing his eyes and muttering for a moment, Chen Ping ordered: "You hold my command, gather Chen Tong, Liu Daoxiao, Xue Zhengkong, and Chen Zhoukang, and order thirty worship hall guests to take the initiative to attack, once you find the traces of the ghost tooth evil cultivator, immediately kill them by surprise." ”
"By the way, bring Huang Yumin with you, in the early years, the Huang family called the ghost tooth evil cultivator to destroy the whole door, she must be deadly. Although this female cultivator is only a ninth-level Qi cultivator, she is proficient in puppetry, and can effectively prevent the little ones from escaping. ”
"Yun'er takes the order."
Xue Yun nodded and said solemnly.
At the same time, she was a little nervous.
Because according to the latest information from the family, the leaders of the evil cultivators are the four foundation building monks.
The big boss Qin Dong built the foundation of the great consummation.
This person was originally the owner of the Blue Devil Island, and after taking refuge in the Jin family, he was appointed as the flag bearer of the evil cultivator.
The other three are the old leaders of Ghost Tooth Island, one in the late stage of foundation building, and two in the middle stage of foundation building.
Moreover, there are as many as three or four hundred Qi cultivators under the command of the four of them.
Even in recent years, there are more than 100 hardcore followers.
This is the most powerful enemy since the establishment of the Worship Hall, and Xue Yun cannot afford to despise it at all.
"Stay safe all the way."
Looking at the pool, Chen said indifferently.
The evil cultivators of Ghost Tooth Island are not the likes of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and the lineup sent by the Chen family this time has a lot of risks.
Xue Zhengkong and Xue Yun were only in the early stage of foundation building, and they couldn't pick any of the leaders of the evil cultivators alone.
However, with the White Jade Clam Demon and the Stepping Crystal Crane Sweeping Formation, the overall combat power comparison, the Chen family is still stable.
If Chen Ping himself or Chen Xiangwen led the team, even if they could take down the Ghost Tooth Evil Cultivator unscathed, in this way, the Offering Hall would lose the meaning of existence.
With the rapid expansion of the family industry in the future, small frictions with major forces are inevitable, and it is impossible to return to the top combat forces to resolve disputes.
Moreover, adversity can bring out the potential of the monk and give full play to his talents.
"Yun'er will not let go of a fish that slips through the net, and Pinglang is waiting for my good news in the family."
Bulging cheeks, Xue Yun said playfully.
"Don't be careless."
Chen Ping's eyes softened, and the storage ring lit up, revealing two light red, maple leaf-shaped talismans, and pointed: "The Three Shadow Treasure Flame Talismans, the second-level top-grade talismans, after the stimulation of the foundation building consummation, you should also deal with it carefully, you can accept it." ”
Both of these talismans are in Grandma Fan's collection.
Now that he has advanced to the Yuan Dan realm, not to mention the second-level talismans, even if it is a third-level low-grade or middle-grade, it will not bring him much blessing.
"Xie Pinglang appreciates the treasure."
Xue Yun said happily, and the two eyebrows bent into a new moon arc.
"Your own life is the most important thing."
Chen flattened his face and said leisurely: "Other than that, anything can be discarded." ”
"In addition, the harvest of this extermination of evil cultivation will be divided into four or six points for the worship hall and the family."
"Understood."
Xue Yun nodded slightly, with an expression that was in mind.
Since the beginning of its establishment, the worship hall has been financially independent and self-financing.
Just like the proceeds from the last siege of Feiyue Island, it was divided into two parts, and the worship hall got about 150,000 spirit stones.
"You prepare the supplies for the expedition tonight, and I'll go first."
As he spoke, Chen Ping got up and stepped on a green lotus, and was about to take off.
"...... Hiroro"
Xue Yun opened her mouth and shouted, and then knelt on her knees, her hair falling to the ground.
With a slight sweep of his divine sense, Chen Ping did not look back, and said in a gentle voice: "Do you have something to ask for?" ”
"Yun'er wants the follow-up cultivation method of Tiansu Yunshui Jue."
Xue Yun raised his head and said calmly with a calm look.
But seeing the ten fingers of her hands twisted into a dead knot, her heart was obviously very worried.
In the sky, the figure was silent for a long time, and then said without emotion: "You are in power now, isn't it good to enjoy life?" With your qualifications, if you continue to embark on the immortal path, the pay and return will not be proportional, and even extremely exaggerated. ”
"I'm willing to work hard."
Xue Yun's shoulders trembled, and he said firmly: "Please Pinglang is complete." ”
"Ugh."
Chen Ping sighed slightly, and drove the light into the overlapping clouds.
"Unremitting efforts are necessary, but on the way to cultivating immortals, no matter how much effort you put in, you will not necessarily be rewarded."
"But since you have the courage to start, I'll give you another chance."
Chen Ping's words echoed in her ears, and the first half almost made her want to cry, but at a turn, Xue Yun burst into tears and laughed, as if she had used all her strength, her body was soft and leaned against the peach tree.
"It's finished."
Xue Yun exhaled deeply, his fists clenched tightly.
The Ancestor of the Shattered Star Gate, Gong Lingshan, will soon come to Haichang to discuss important matters.
With the domineering character of the Taoist couple, he will definitely smash the star gate with a bamboo bar.
This is her last chance!
Therefore, even if it makes a request, it consumes Chen Ping's tolerance and love for her, and he will not hesitate to do so.
……
On the way back to Fuge Mountain, Chen Ping buried his head in the road, his brows suddenly frowned and stretched, as if he was thinking about something.
"Having no resources but no place to spend them is also a big pain in life."
Chen Ping's heart moved, and he laughed dumbly.
The deacon's house of the worship hall was supervised by Xue Yun.
Looking at the layout of the courtyard, there are spiritual flowers and grasses everywhere, and the rockery ground is also made of ore.
Without the input of 30,000 spirit stones, it would not be possible to do it at all.
Xue Yun has been in charge of the worship hall for many years, but he has made a lot of oil and water, and to put it mildly, he has filled his pockets.
Chen Ping has always turned a blind eye to this.
Her worth should be extremely high, surpassing the ordinary foundation building consummation.
Except for feeding spirit beasts and occasionally helping his younger brother Xue Yifei to cultivate, there was nowhere to use the excess spirit stones.
No wonder she had the idea of going one step further.
It is indeed extremely difficult for the lower grade spiritual root to attain the Dao.
However, there is a shortcut, crazy throwing resources.
Spend 200,000 or 300,000 spirit stones to cultivate to the peak of foundation building, and then find a high-level Dao pattern Clear Void Leakage Pill, or retreat to the next best and buy two drops of True Xia Secret Spring.
The whole process consumes seventy or eight hundred thousand spirit stones, and the probability of having three or four percent is not low.
If you are worth a lot of money, you may have a chance to break the rank twice.
As long as he didn't interfere, it was not impossible for Xue Yun to accumulate millions of spirit stones during the time he was at the helm of the worship hall.
"I hope you're doing it yourself."
Chen Ping's pupils shrank, and he slowly descended on the top of the mountain.
He treats this woman with a very low bottom line at the moment.
He can pretend not to be aware of the power to make money, but if Xue Yun dares to hide and sell high-grade ores, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
After all, he had repeatedly explained to the senior management of the Chen family that if he found or had clues about high-grade ores, he must report to him as soon as possible.
Those who conceal it and do not report it, and those who hide treasures without permission, will be severely punished!
Similarly, anyone who voluntarily hands in high-grade ore will be rewarded with a heavy reward, which is far more cost-effective than selling it outside.
Chen Ping felt that his sincerity was in place, and he believed that the high-ranking members of the family would not choose the wrong path.
……
In the bright cave mansion, Chen Ping and Chen Xiangwen sat cross-legged face to face.
"How long does Ping'er plan to go out?"
Chen Xiangwen moved between his eyebrows and spoke.
"I made an appointment for Gong Lingshan to meet, and I will return to Haichang in March."
Chen Ping smiled, hugged his fists and said, "The family will trouble Uncle Wen to take care of it." ”
Chen Xingchao, Chen Yiru, Xue Yun, Ye Mofan, Chen Tong and other more than 20 foundation building monks, almost all of them opened up their territory or carried out tasks.
The defense in the city was empty, and after he left, Chen Xiangwen, the only Yuandan ancestor, had to shoulder the burden of protecting Haichang.
The Monk is the mainstay of the family.
The number of foundations built by the Chen family seems to be a lot, but when it comes to use, it is actually quite stretched.
However, where can cultivating a foundation building master be achieved overnight.
Since the establishment of the worship hall, there has only been one Xing Lin year.
It is conceivable that the difficulty of advancing to the ninth level of Qi cultivation with an ordinary background and background is tantamount to a hundred boat races.
"I don't know if that kid can advance."
Chen Ping's eyes flashed, and he remembered a news that Chen Qiudong had told him two days ago.
The worship hall Sun Tongzheng is in retreat and impacts the foundation building realm.
This person's talent in the talisman path is extremely remarkable.
Before breaking into the foundation, a second-grade color fan horizontal talisman was drawn.
Relying on his superb alchemy skills, Sun Tong has made a lot of money over the years.
And he was willing to invest, and he issued a reward about Tsukidan in the House of Internal Affairs.
One line, forty thousand!
Two lines, fifty-five thousand!
The so-called money and ghosts, under the temptation of being much higher than the market price, really allowed him to buy a tattooed Tsukidan.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping pressed the corner of his eye speechlessly.
This black boy's ability to raise prices is somewhat similar to him.
Having said that, with Tsukidan in hand, the probability of Sun Tong breaking through the bottleneck is much higher.
Ping'er relaxed. With the third-level formation, I am confident that I can stop the middle of Yuan Dan outside the city. ”
Chen Xiangwen's face was calm, and he suddenly changed his tone and said, "Ping'er, which is stronger or weaker between you and that Jin Zhaoheng?" ”
"Uncle Wen's question is a bit tricky."
Chen Ping touched his chin and pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Let's divide the situation, assuming that he completely enters the realm of human and sword integration, my divine powers are estimated to be at most equal to him." ”
"If not, within five moves, he will definitely die!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiangwen was startled at first, and muttered intermittently: "Your combat power is too ...... Outrageous. ”
Jin Zhaoheng is not an ordinary Yuan Dan early stage, sword cultivation is one enemy and two is common knowledge in the cultivation world.
According to Chen Ping's own statement, the current Jin Zhaoheng can't last a few breaths in his hands.
What level of strength suppression is this?
The average Yuan Dan can't do it in the later period, right?
If it weren't for Chen Xiangwen knowing that Chen Ping was not the kind of person who made a lot of nonsense, he wouldn't have believed it at all.
"Uncle Wen, the three Yuan Dans of the Chixiao Sect, I can stop them with all my might."
Repeatedly savoring the content of Chen Ping's transmission to him in the council hall, Chen Xiangwen couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and began to look forward to the grand cause of Haichang Chen.
……
The green waves are rippling, and the green waves are thousands of miles away.
On the sea, a white spirit boat sailed smoothly.
Chen Ping stood on the deck with his hands in his hands, controlling the general direction of the ship with only a wisp of divine sense.
This is the fifth day he has left Haichang Island.
He went out for a lot of purposes this time, and the first stop was to slaughter a Dark Sky Golden Luo Spider in the early stage of the Third Order.
