Outside the city.

Chen Ping walked around the wasteland outside the city to the southeast, and finally chose a natural cliff.

The cliff is undetectable due to its hidden angle, overgrown with weeds, and the terrain is suitable for use as an exit to a tunnel.

His house was located in the Eastern Retreat, but it was also relatively southern, and the wilderness outside the city to the southeast was the best choice.

Chen Ping roughly calculated that there was a distance of thirteen or fourteen miles from the house to here.

According to his current work intensity, it is estimated that it will take two months to open the passage out of the city.

He didn't know how long he would have to stay in this Lianyun City, but as long as there was one day left here, it was necessary to make such preparations for a rainy day.

Now that you've chosen your location, the next step is to start drilling the hole.

+1 Ground Regret.

Regret +1...

......

Inside the premises.

The summer sun is scorching.

Chen Ping took a sip of cold water and took out the "Five Elements Dao Technique Beginner's Dictionary".

At present, he has learned the earth-based 'Earth-shaking Technique', the fire-based 'Fingertip White Flame', and the water-based 'Dragon Gathering Water'.

The rest is a gold system, and a wood system.

The basic spell of the wood system is 'Dead Wood Spring', which requires six layers of qi cultivation before it can be cultivated.

The gold system is the 'power of gold magnetism' and can be cultivated.

For this kind of basic spell, Chen Ping was now very familiar with the cultivation method, and he successfully entered the door in half an hour.

One afternoon pays off.

Chen Ping sat at the desk, looked at the saber hanging on the wall, silently recited the law, and two meters apart, the long sword flew into his hand with a 'whoosh'.

It's a spell again, and it's so simple that you don't even need to shout 'come with a sword.'" Chen Ping smiled and hung up his sword back.

Continue to cultivate.

......

Chengdongfang City.

Chen Ping sold the evil talisman that he had been making for a month.

These talismans are all produced in the novice period, and the mana effect must be greatly reduced, so it is useless to keep them for yourself, so I took the opportunity to sell them.

There are 60 shots in total.

On weekdays, the normal price is 1 spirit stone, but now it is almost 3 spirit stones.

The quality of his talismans was not good, Chen Ping originally thought that it would take a long time to sell them, but he never thought that they would be sold out after a while.

It belongs to hunger and does not choose to eat, this is.

A total of 169 lower-grade spirit stones were harvested.

Sure enough, it's more profitable than making talisman skins.

After selling the talisman, he changed his face and continued to walk around the market for a while to see if he could meet some good goods. It is becoming more and more difficult for casual cultivators to make money, and some treasures from the family collection will appear in the market from time to time.

If you're lucky, you might be able to come across it.

When Taobao was on the road, Chen Ping unexpectedly saw Yu Lingchun squatting in front of a stall.

Yu Lingchun has changed her makeup, and her face doesn't look like she is anymore, but she is still wearing the emerald white robe, and her words and deeds have not changed deliberately.

Chen Ping recognized her at a glance.

... This girl isn't very thoughtful.

At first glance, you can tell that you have not experienced the beating of society.

Yu Lingchun set up a stall in front of him, selling a hairpin, which seemed to be a first-order low-grade magic weapon. She watched expectantly as people came and went, but no one stopped. She tried to move her mouth several times, but she didn't say anything.

It took a long time for a female cultivator to come. Then she used her lame tricks to bargain with the female casual buyer.

Chen Ping listened with interest, she didn't have any psychological skills at all, and she was taken by the buyer in a few words, and was pressed to a very low price.

In the end, the buyer sighed and bought the hairpin at a very low price on the grounds that he had suffered a big loss but liked the hairpin very much.

Chen Ping just listened and did not interfere.

The bitterness of society.

Sooner or later, it's all eaten.

How can you grow without eating?

This is the pressure she should be under at her age.

Think about it too.

She used to grow up under the protection of Yu Qingyi, and she didn't need to worry about making money, and she didn't even need to come to Fang City.

You just need to concentrate on your cultivation.

And now, without the means to make money, maybe, there is also the pressure of sitting and eating, so I want to understand the situation outside through the market.

Chen Ping turned his head and continued to walk around the market, and finally bought two books.

One of them is a poison dispensing guide.

In the past, such registers would hardly have appeared in the market. In the past, in order to maintain stability in Lianyun City, such books were banned, and businesses were also forbidden to sell.

I didn't expect to find it now.

Now it seems to be a blatant sale, no one pays attention to it, and no one governs it.

And that's not all.

He saw that there were still stall owners selling pirated books in the market.

This would never have been possible in the past.

"Fellow Daoist, did you copy this book yourself?" In front of a booth, Chen Ping asked tentatively.

"Yes, transcribed. But I can guarantee that it will not fall word for word, here is the original book, Taoist friends can check on the spot, satisfied before buying. The stall owner generously admits it, without the slightest concealment, and seems to have no scruples.

This took Chen Ping by surprise.

It turns out that Lianyun City has been out of control to this extent.

Those who hoard books are probably going to vomit blood. ’

I don't know if Lin Changshou has hoarded it. ’

Chen Ping was glad that he sold it early.

A small idea also came to my heart.

......

House 3.

"Smack, smack, smack."

There was a crisp sound, and several large holes were blown out of the ground inside the house.

Chen Ping measured the attack distance and the diameter of the hole.

Well, not bad, not bad.

Now it can attack targets accurately and accurately from a distance of 35 meters, and the effect of spilling and exploding is getting better and better.

Chen Ping took a Qi Cultivation Pill and continued to practice the 'Spiritual Power Little Sword'.

After these days of practice, his spiritual power sword has already entered the expert level.

[Spell: Spiritual Power Sword (Expert): 93/1000.] 】

However, upon entering the Expert level, the rate of proficiency increase slows down significantly.

Chen Ping analyzed that this may be due to two reasons:

First, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and the slower the growth of proficiency will naturally be.

Second, the second link is missing.

That is, the link of attaching the five elements of spells.

When I practiced the spiritual power sword before, I skipped the second link, 'Attachment', and jumped directly from 'Condensing Spirit' to 'Transformation'.

At this time, Chen Ping stretched out his palm and condensed again.

This time, after condensing the spiritual power sword, he tried to attach a fire spell to the spiritual power sword, and the 'spiritual power sword' book comes with a flame attachment spell.

He followed the instructions of the law and tried again and again.

After Chen Ping mastered the basic method of the fire system, all this became a lot easier.

After an afternoon of practice, the white flame of spiritual power was successfully attached.

The little sword is not just a small sword, but it's... With fire... Little sword.

"Bang."

With a single blow of the spiritual power sword, a huge hole was made in the wall, and the hole was burned to scorched earth around it.

Dramatically more powerful.

It was finished. ’

'Next, you can make the expert level liver higher, it should be simpler. ’

"After a while, you can try to see if you can attach the water system to the spiritual power sword, maybe it will have a different effect." ’

'Well, keep practicing. ’

......

Under the oil lamp, Chen Ping opened the "General Book of Preparation of Common Poisons" that he bought a few days ago.

On the first page, it is written in traditional and hieroglyphic characters:

[If you don't dissolve the alchemy, then there is no poisonous pill available?] Speak with me: No, No, No, No!! ]

Chen Ping: ......

This author, why is there still a bit of middle two.

He flipped through the last pages and wanted to see what the author's name was: [Author: Invincible Incense Stealing Layman].

Chen Ping: ......

... Good pen name.

… It's the same as what I signed on the Penguin.

He flipped through the book and read it step by step.

This book is actually a low-level version of the alchemy book, which is specially used for Qi refining stage cultivators who do not know how to make alchemy.

There is no need to refin, just reasonable blending and simple boiling.

There are twelve poisons in the book.

The preparation of each poison is marked by some of the original owner's annotations, and judging by the font on the annotations, it is possible that more than one person has used them.

One of them, the poison called 'Urging Pills', has the most annotations in the general book, and it is densely packed.

The pages are almost crushed.

'This herd of beasts. ’

Chen Ping scolded secretly.

In line with the principle of caring for books, he carefully and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on this page of paper to prevent the words from being worn out and making them difficult to read later.

Eventually, he stopped at a poison called 'Aconitum pills'.

This poison is highly poisonous, and after taking it, it can make a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator suffer a cardiac arrest, and poison a Qi Refining Stage Monk within a minute.

Although the preparation is relatively complicated, it still needs to be boiled.

But it's powerful.

And colorless and odorless.

Qi cultivators are usually not easily aware of it.

It's a must-have medicine for home travel.
