025 First time out of town

Chen Ping paused for a moment.

Does this Nima still need money?

But before he could say anything, a voice came from the courtyard next door: "Liu Daoyou, the old man has never heard of the inspection fee." ”

Squinting and his expression paused, he turned his head and saw that it was Yu Qingyi, and suddenly laughed:

"Senior Yu, look up for a long time. Hey, I'm joking with this fellow Taoist, how can I ask for any inspection fee. ”

"Hehe, please also trouble Senior Yu to check it, Senior Yu will naturally not be a demon cultivator, but it is a routine."

Squinted at Chen Ping, smiled and went to Yu Qingyi's side.

"Senior Yu, just press your hand." Squinting and smiling.

"Why are you checking, wasn't Zhou Jianping in charge of this hour before?" Yu Qingyi's voice.

"Senior Yu has a good memory, I have changed heads of Zhou, and I will be in charge of this hour in the future. The head of Zhou will be in charge of the time in the future. Squinting and smiling voice.

After a routine inspection, a few squinting eyes smiled and left.

"Thank you Senior Yu for your help." Chen Ping waved his hands.

Although Yu Qingyi has moved back for a month, this is the first time Chen Ping and Yu Qingyi have met.

The old man's hair is gray, his face is full of traces of time, his age is more than ten years older than He Xianxiang, perhaps because of his higher cultivation, his spirit is not weaker than He Xianxiang.

"You don't have to see outside, because of some things in the past two years, the defense just now was more hostile to the people in the west of the city, you don't have to care." Yu Qingyi smiled and said, looking at Chen Ping:

"I should have paid a return visit to Chen Daoyou a long time ago, but during this time, I saw that Chen Daoyou had been cultivating behind closed doors, so I didn't come to bother. When I saw it today, Chen Daoyou was a talent. ”

After speaking, he added:

"Haha, it's about the same as the old man back then."

Chen Ping: ...... He smiled in his heart, thinking that Yu Qingyi was still quite easy-going, just like the rumors, worthy of his name.

Senior Yu smiled. Yu's predecessors should be old and strong, fairy wind bones, when they are young, they must be extraordinary, and the younger generations cannot be compared. ”

"Haha, your kid is oily and smooth, but not as honest as He Xianxiang's old thing said. What do you think? Cultivating behind closed doors every day, what kind of cultivation is it for? Yu Qingyi laughed.

He Xianxiang and Yu Qingyi are really familiar.

It's no wonder that he lived next to Yu Qingyi or recommended by He Xianxiang.

It's funny for you two to call each other 'old things'.

"The younger generation is born with poor qualifications, and now they are still in the early stage of Qi training, and they only think that diligence can make up for their shortcomings, so they often practice at home. In addition, the cultivation is low, and I dare not go out. Chen Ping said half-truthfully.

"Well, you don't have to be presumptuous, just work hard to cultivate, and leave the rest to Heaven's will. It's really not easy to practice this kind of thing, and it's not something you and I can control. Yu Qingyi said.

may have thought of his granddaughter's failure to participate in the Qingyun Sect, and his expression immediately darkened.

Unconsciously sighed softly.

Chen Ping deliberately changed the topic, so he asked:

"By the way, listening to the meaning of the city defense just now, they are investigating demon cultivation?"

Yu Qingyi came back to his senses:

"It's true, it's not been very peaceful lately. Therefore, Chen Daoyou's closed-door cultivation is also beneficial. ... Hey, if my granddaughter wants your calm heart, what else do I need to worry about the old man? ”

The last sentence is a mutter.

As soon as these words came out, Yu Lingchun, who had just finished checking and was practicing swords at the far end of the yard, turned his head and glanced at his grandfather resentfully, and then scratched Chen Ping fiercely, turned his head and continued to practice swords.

Chen Ping: ......

What's the matter with me?

I didn't say anything.

Sure enough, there are many rights and wrongs to go out.

Or stay at home and stay safe.

Chen Ping and Yu Qingyi exchanged two sentences, and then found an excuse to leave.

Go back to the house and check the results of your cultivation during this time.

In the past month, Chen Ping has focused on practicing the 'Breeze Nine Swords'.

So far, the seventh form of the Breeze Nine Swords has been fully practiced, and it has entered the eighth form.

But because I've been practicing in the house, the space is limited, so I don't have a lot of fun.

Chen Ping didn't dare to let go of the fight, and his home and simple house couldn't stand the toss.

It's all money to fix.

Poverty is the original sin.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ping decided to go outdoors to practice and see what level his combat power had reached.

He decided to make his way through the West End to the safe Sunset Forest trial north of the city.

For this, he was well prepared.

Hiding a short sword in the sleeve trouser leg is a basic operation, and the evil charm and evil charm must also be brought on the body, put on a magic robe, and then put an ordinary Taoist robe on the outside.

He deliberately brought a small bag of demon beast jerky, which he made himself, and it consumed a lot of sword practice.

I changed my face again.

When you're ready, start heading to the West End.

In order to avoid running into old acquaintances from the past, he deliberately made a detour and avoided the areas frequented by the personnel of the Ning Mansion.

After leaving the city, he changed his makeup again, and then used the 'cloud smoke step' to quickly head towards the forest.

A short distance further on, the Sunset Forest.

This forest is not the same as the Endless Forest on the outskirts.

The Sunset Forest is not an endless forest, it used to be a hunting ground, but with the increase of animal hunters, the forest has long been depleted of resources.

Is there any danger?

Yes.

Occasionally, people still die in this forest, but the danger is nowhere near a thousandth of what the Endless Forest is.

This forest can be divided into three areas: 'outer, middle, and inner'.

The outer area is only three or four miles away from Lianyun City, and as long as you are active in the outer area, there is basically no danger.

At this time, Chen Ping was in the outer area of the Sunset Forest.

I looked around, but there was no one.

He also arranged some wind listening charms on the periphery, as long as someone approached, they might accidentally touch the wind listening charm, and then make a warning sound.

After arranging it, it was time to fully experience the power of the seventh and eighth forms of the 'Breeze Nine Swords'.

"Whoosh~"

The sword flower shines in Chen Ping's hands.

The action of the seventh style is not simple, and the action pays attention to trembling, pulling, gathering, luck, and receiving. Each action is linked one by one, so that the power and trajectory of the sword can be controlled freely.

Let the sword be more than just a sword.

and in the direction of 'pseudo-magic instruments'.

'Whew! ’

Jian Gang hit a towering tree, and the trunk was instantly pierced, and a hole the size of a bowl appeared.

Chen Ping took a deep breath... This power is much more powerful than the first six styles.

How about trying to kill the living creatures again. ’

"Mouth..."

With a swing of the sword, a small animal in the swaying of the towering tree suddenly whimpered and exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and the 'squeak' was only half made before it was silent.

'This spell...'

‘... It's terrifying! ’

For the first time, Chen Ping experienced the domineering of the seventh and eighth forms.

The first six and last three forms of the Breeze Nine Swords are two completely different concepts.

The first six styles are more of a sword technique, not even a real spell.

The so-called spells, that is, the self-ability and the laws of heaven contained in the exercises, are embodied in the form of methods and techniques.

The first six styles are mostly embodied in skills, and there are very few spiritual powers required and the laws of the Heavenly Dao that are released.

By the seventh form, the Breeze Nine Swords had transcended the mundane, and they no longer simply relied on physical attacks to kill the enemy.

It even comes with the value of a ranged attack.

No wonder there is a chasm between the first six and the last three, and this is the reason.

'With this spell, self-protection ability directly +100. The corners of Chen Ping's mouth curled.

Of course, this is also related to the ascension of the realm exercises.

In the past month, his exercises have reached [Evergreen Gong (Mastery): 03/100], and he has officially entered the level of 'proficient' from 'proficient'.

And with the advancement of the exercises, the realm has also made a leap forward.

[Realm: Qi Cultivation (2nd Floor): 47/100. 】

This is still because this month's focus is on practicing the Breeze Nine Swords, otherwise the realm can be improved more.

'After a while, you should be able to practice the third layer of qi. ’

Continue to find living creatures to practice.

"Whoosh!" "Smack!" "Pigeon!"

“......”

There are no large monsters in the Sunset Forest, but there are still a lot of these ordinary small animals, such as rabbits, squirrels, birds, and so on.

These small animals can survive from the hands of animal hunters, and they generally have a certain degree of spiritualization, and they are relatively sensitive and cunning, and they are not easy to kill.

But at this moment, Chen Ping killed a lot of birds and beasts very easily.

Swordsmanship has grown greatly.

After an hour of practicing killing wild animals, I feel that the seventh and eighth forms are more skillfully used.

At this time, he was chasing the hare that had been vigorous.

'Whoosh! Sou! ’

The strong wind swept by, and Chen Ping stopped the car under a big tree, and did not chase the hare that escaped over the big tree and fled into the forest.

This tree is the dividing line between the outer and middle areas of the Sunset Forest.

It was marked by predecessors.

It's impossible to cross the line, it's impossible to cross the line in this life. Although the middle area is not dangerous at first glance, it is unremarkable, but who knows? ’

Well, stick to the principle and only operate in the outer area. ’

Thinking so, Chen Ping unexpectedly saw a low-lying cave not far from the outer area.

The cave is not large, it can accommodate two or three people, the entrance is relatively narrow, it is not easy for wild beasts to enter, and it is a cave formed on a hard rock wall, which is not easy to collapse. There is grass and trees around, and the entrance to the cave is not easy to find.

Chen Ping couldn't help but think that if one day he needed temporary shelter, this would be a good place.

He slammed his sword into its sheath.

Looking up at the sky, judging by the slope of the sun, it is at noon.

Chen Ping turned around and walked back.

'Gotta go back, it's noon, and it's still a few hours before it gets dark.' Who knows what unpredictable dangers will be in the Sunset Forest at night? ’

......
