After the Xiyue retreat, Chen Ping once again focused on drawing talismans.

On the second day after coming to the village, the village deacon came to the door to learn about Chen Ping's information and also informed the relevant information in the village.

During the dialogue, Chen Ping learned that this village is not living in vain, and we have to work together to get out of the grassland.

To this end, several Jindan in the center of the village have set relevant tasks for everyone, and everyone needs to choose one of them to carry out independently.

For example: going out to hunt animals.

Most of the monks here are Zhuji or Jindan, and it stands to reason that they have already opened the valley and do not need to eat at all.

However, there is a lack of spiritual energy here, and third-order demon beast meat can replenish spiritual energy to a certain extent, so it has also become an important material for the monk's intensive cultivation.

Another example: going out to steal spiritual mines.

The reason why it is said to be a stealing dig is because there are many demon beasts here, and the more abundant the aura, the easier it is to attract demon beasts.

It's just that bat-like monsters are still social monsters.

Therefore, every place with spirit ore will gather a large number of high-level demon beasts. Facing the enemy head-on to seize the spiritual ore is not worth the loss, so you can only find a place to dig secretly.

This is very dangerous.

But it can't be helped, who called the lack of aura here.

When Chen Ping was in the Western Wilderness, he almost never saw monks directly use spirit stones as a resource to replenish spiritual energy, and basically used them as trading currency.

The reason is very simple, the effect of spirit stones to replenish spiritual energy is far less than that of pills of the same value.

Instead of directly using spirit stones, it is better to exchange them for qi-replenishing pills.

It is far less valuable than buying a robe with the effect of gathering spirits.

But it's different here, there is a shortage of pills, and you can't buy them if you want to.

In this case, it is also common to use spirit stones directly for cultivation, although it is not cost-effective.

Another example: going out to explore the ruins.

There were many sects here thousands of years ago, and the relics left by these sects may leave some clues out of the Canglan Forest, or resources that are conducive to everyone's survival here.

So it's worth exploring.

The rest is to go out to explore the ancient formations, run errands and communicate between this village and other villages hundreds of thousands of miles away, and so on.

Of course, drawing talismans, refining tools, and alchemy for everyone is naturally very popular.

Chen Ping didn't want to go out and take risks, so drawing talismans was his best choice to complete the task.

Among the golden armor talismans he painted, they are divided into two categories.

One of a kind, very perfect, for your own use.

One category, not so perfect, deliberately lowering the quality, is used to make a difference.

Of course, even if it is not so perfect, it is no worse than the golden armor talisman on the market, but this will make him look less dazzling.

this day.

Chen Ping was drawing talismans in the quiet room when three monks suddenly came to visit.

They are all foundation-building monks.

Some time ago, I went out on a mission with the team, and I just returned to the village today, and I heard that a new neighbor had come, and he was still a foundation building monk, so he came to visit Chen Ping with the mentality of sympathy for monks of the same level.

Among the three, the leader surnamed Lu is a middle-aged monk. The other two are a young female nun and a burly male nun respectively.

Because they had just returned from a mission, all three of them had injuries on their bodies.

After some exchanges, Chen Ping said curiously:

"What kind of mission are the three Daoists going to perform?"

"This time I'm going to probe for a spirit ore that is suitable for stealing. Hey, it's the same for all tasks. Our foundation building monks have low cultivation, so we can only run behind the Jindan seniors, and we can only follow their orders." Brother Lu said helplessly.

The burly male cultivator complained:

"Before I first entered the Canglan Grassland, I was also a little elder in the sect, I never thought of this, I only deserve to listen to the calls of others, damn, how could I do the work of stealing mines for others in the original sect?"

This......

Follow the local customs, why do you still think about your original identity?

This was originally a very sad thing, but Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh when he heard his complaining tone.

This feeling of disparity is really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I can draw talismans, so I just need to hand in some talismans regularly, so I don't need to go out and take risks.

"Forget about the minerals, let me wait to steal them in a dangerous place, and they will choose a good place by themselves." The strong male cultivator then complained, "It's really a miserable life."

Chen Ping smiled and didn't say anything.

"What tasks did Chen Daoyou take?" Brother Lu asked.

Chen Ping said:

"I'm a talisman master."

The three of them looked at Chen Ping.

"Hello Fu Master, Fu Master doesn't have to go out on adventures. Hey, at the beginning, Master also asked me if I would like to learn to draw talismans, and at that time, I thought that drawing talismans required too much patience and I couldn't stand it, but it was much more interesting to hunt beasts. Now it's okay, there are so many monsters outside that you can't finish hunting." Brother Lu said enviously.

"It's all fate." The female cultivator, who had spoken less, interjected rarely, and her voice was softer.

"Huh? Chen Daoyou's breath is strong, and the Taoist rhyme is overflowing, could it be that he has already realized a lot? Could it be that he also fell into this grassland when he was out traveling?" Brother Lu found that Chen Ping's cultivation did not seem to be low.

"Yes, Lu Daoyou too?" Chen Pingdao.

Brother Lu patted his thigh:

"Isn't it? Hey, I didn't find the big feeling, and it ended up falling here. Chen Daoyou is luckier than me, at least I have a great understanding, this grassland is not easy to travel, there are monsters everywhere. But, hey, let it be fate, Li Daoyou was also here to attack the Yudan, but it's a pity..."

In their introduction, it turned out that among the several of them, there was also Li Daoyou, who was similar to Chen Ping, and he also entered here after a great understanding.

It was already difficult to form a pill, and there was a lack of aura here, so the pill was broken and disappeared.

Luck turned into misfortune.

"Why don't you find a Jindan senior to help gather spirits?" Chen Ping said regretfully.

"Jindan Gathering Spirits?" Brother Lu smiled:

"Not to mention that not all Jindan will know this kind of secret method, even if they will, if they do, if they don't have enough resources, who wants to help you? Can Chen Daoyou know how much the Yuan Shen of Jin Dan is consumed after people gather spirits? Hey, how can there be such a kind-hearted Jin Dan, his own master may not be willing to act like this."

Chen Ping was slightly stunned.

I didn't expect that the artificial gathering of spirits would have such a great consumption of the spiritual gathering monks themselves.

He glanced back in the direction of Xiyue Cave Mansion and didn't say anything.

"Doesn't Pei Daoyou still have a golden pill? Anyway, you haven't realized it yet, give it to Chen Daoyou, one more golden pill and one more guarantee, in case Chen Daoyou successfully marries the pill, he can protect you in the future." The burly monk suggested.

This burly monk obviously didn't know much about speech skills, how could he say this in front of the two of them.

Chen Ping obviously didn't need this golden pill.

He had one of his own, and Xiyue also prepared one for her.

Enough is enough.

At this time, if he spent some spirit stones to buy a golden pill, he would naturally be willing, but he wanted a golden pill for nothing, which was a great favor, and it would not be good to return it in the future.

When Chen Ping was thinking about how to refuse so as not to appear rude, the female cultivator glanced at the burly monk, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"This golden pill is not easy to come by, and I want to keep it for myself, in case I have a big understanding in the future. I'm sorry, Chen Daoyou."

So good?

Don't even think about the reason.

Chen Pingshun slope down the donkey road:

"Jin Dan is extremely rare, how can you give it away at will. Pei Daoyou doesn't have to apologize, he can understand."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Brother Lu's emotional intelligence was much higher, so he quickly changed the topic.

Everyone chatted for a while, because of the existence of this embarrassing topic, and after a while, the three of them got up to say goodbye and left.

After the three of them stayed away from Chen Pingdong's mansion, Brother Lu said softly:

「

Pei Daoyou is confused. In fact, you can give Jindan, a Jindan may be worth a lot in the outside world, but it is not worth much here. It's a bet, if Chen Daoyou can successfully marry Dan, with this kindness, and Chen Daoyou is a Fu Master, your future life will not be easy?"

"Can you still talk about it?" Brother Pei muttered:

"What if one day I'm lucky enough to strayed into the teleportation array and walked out? Where am I going to get another golden pill?"

Brother Lu sighed.

Here, it is not easy for a foundation building monk to attach a Jindan monk, but it is much easier to attach a potential Jindan monk.

It's a pity that I don't have a golden pill.

But he didn't say anything more.

Everyone has a different choice.

What Brother Pei said is not entirely unreasonable, if he is lucky enough to get out of the Canglan Grassland, then this golden pill will be worth a fortune.

On the other side, after Chen Ping saw off the three of them, he returned to the house and continued to draw talismans.

He originally wanted to toss the cultivation of spirit plants, but a few days ago, he had seen everywhere in the village, and there were not many types of spirit plants gathering here, they were all relatively low-level, and the effect was not obvious, so he didn't bother to toss.

Concentrate on waiting for Xiyue to come out.

......

Under the influence of spirit wine and pills, Xiyue recovered very smoothly, and after three months, she had restored her Yuan Shen to the level of the first day and walked out of the quiet room smoothly.

The complexion is much better than before.

"Is there any more spirit wine?" In the cave, Xiyue asked embarrassedly.

This...

I just want to drink too much.

Chen Ping took out a pot:

"Not much, save some drinks."

Xiyue took the spirit wine, and always felt that this way of talking and doing things was wrong.

Like Chen Ping is a master, she is an apprentice.

She glanced at Chen Ping sideways and said coldly:

"I will not drink yours in vain. What questions do you have about the Ice Codex? But it doesn't hurt to ask, I was quite thorough in my practice of this secret art back then."

There was a tsundere in the tone.

... Look at you proudly.

Chen Ping thought for a moment and recalled a puzzle he encountered when he first practiced this secret method to the point of approaching the Great Perfection, and only figured it out under the guidance of the panel.

Then he asked.

Hearing this, Xi Yue's hand holding the wine jug and looking up to drink froze for a moment, frowned and thought about it, and said:

"Maybe it's been too long and forgot. However, this question is too profound, and even if you don't understand it, it won't affect your ability to practice this secret art to the level of mastery, so change the question."

Chen Ping asked another question.

"Hey, maybe the injury was so bad that I can't remember a lot of things. This question is also very deep, it will not affect your cultivation of spells, you can change another one." Xiyue's face was not red, and her heart did not skip a beat.

Chen Ping then asked another one.

"Hey, it's not that this seat hasn't figured it out, it's clear that this injury is really..., by the way, which sect are you from? Insult... What a sect." Xiyue pretended that her memory had not fully recovered, and she pondered for a while, and then quickly glanced at Chen Ping:

"Forget it, forget it, don't talk about this, you can get a pill without the Ice Body Divine Codex. Let's get married."

... This guy has cultivated the Ice Body Divine Scripture to such an in-depth degree?

... The questions are far beyond normal understanding.

Xiyue exhaled, fortunately she was clever and avoided embarrassment.

remembered that the letterhead to Chen Ping also implied that Chen Ping probably couldn't learn, this guy should have forgotten about that, right?

It's been so long.

No, he did it on purpose, right?

Obviously taking revenge on this seat.

Damn it!

Chen Ping didn't expect Xiyue to have such a rich imagination and didn't expose her last stubbornness. Remembering what the three of them said, he asked:

"I heard that forcibly gathering spirits for people is depleting the monks' minds

Great, you've just recovered, you're going to have no problems, right?"

"Jokes. What's wrong with this seat? Although the strength of this seat has been suppressed at about the second layer of Jindan, the experience is still there, and it is comparable to their Jindan?" Xi Yueqi doesn't fight in one place.

Chen Ping nodded.

That's good.

In this case, it is better to get married sooner rather than later.

The two immediately agreed to settle the matter.

Xiyue returned the futon to Chen Ping, and at the same time gave Chen Ping a porcelain bottle containing Jin Dan and three bottles of the liquid of the Five Elements.

took out an extremely feminine women's robe and handed it to Chen Ping.

"What are you going to do with this?" Chen Ping was speechless.

"There is not enough spiritual energy here, this robe is engraved with a sixth-order costume spirit gathering array, it is not comparable to the one on your body, although it is a female robe. But, it's just the two of us in this cave, and no one laughs at you. Will this grand infant still laugh at you?" Xiyue is the eighth meridian road.

The corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked up a small amplitude.

... This cheap master is definitely deliberate.

Although the robes are divided into men's and women's styles, many robes are deliberately neutral when weaving in order to broaden the applicable population, which will not be so obvious.

For example, the standard robes of some sects do not distinguish between men and women.

It's just that this one is extremely feminine.

"Master, is there still a masculine robe in your storage bag?" Chen Ping asked.

"How can there be a male robe in this seat? No, that's it." Xiyue dodged her gaze.

Chen Ping took out a pot of spirit wine and opened the cork:

"Hey, this pot of wine is the best pot of this batch of nameless wine, it was originally intended to be reserved for Shizun, but now that I think of the lack of aura here, I am willing to drink it to benefit the Dan, Master, you wait, wait for the apprentice to drink it before the Dan."

Chen Ping was ready to drink it all.

"Huh? In this storage bag, there is actually a men's robe, which is also a sixth-order costume spirit gathering array, but I haven't found it before, it's strange."

Xiyue took out a robe with a gray main color from the storage bag, and looked like she had just discovered a surprise.

… Hehe, isn't there nothing?

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping handed the spirit wine to Xiyue and took the robe.

I put it on decisively.

'Hiss~,

The Soul Gathering effect has been visibly improved by a large margin.

It's good to have a Yuan Ying Master!

The high-level robe will be given away.

And not only the Spirit Gathering Array, but also the level of several other costume arrays such as Wind Resistance and Defense are not low.

Chen Ping experienced it for a while before he put the futon on the cold ice jade bed, put two bottles of Jin Dan and five bottles of Five Elements Liquid beside him, and took a deep breath.

Finally this moment has come.

The most critical moment in the foundation building period.

Xiyue also restrained the joking emotions just now, her expression became serious, and said:

"There is a big difference between knotting and foundation building, and the process itself will be very short. This seat will open the spirit gathering in a timely manner according to your state, and after the completion of the knot, what remains is the ascension stage of the golden pill, and this seat will stop gathering spirits. Artificial Gathering Spirits can't last long, and if you sense something is wrong, you will cast the Gathering Soul Spell again."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping thanked him earnestly.

"Although the process of knotting the pill is extremely dangerous, your divine soul is powerful, and the ice body canon... I'm practicing well, and my spiritual power reserves seem to be good. Don't worry too much at all, just relax." Xiyue said calmly.

"Thank you, Master, for the point." Chen Ping nodded.

Xiyue took out nearly a hundred spirit stones, and after one of the spirit stones was crushed, she pushed the spiritual energy in the direction where Chen Ping was sitting.

Seeing Chen Ping looking over, she said calmly:

"This is the best spirit stone."

"Originally, there was no need to do this, usually just find a place with abundant spiritual energy, no one uses the best spirit stones to increase the spiritual energy, but there is a lack of spiritual energy here, and the best spirit stones can somewhat replenish some spirits

gas."

One top-grade spirit stone is equal to one thousand top-grade spirit stones.

A hundred top-grade spirit stones are ten million medium-grade spirit stones.

This consumption alone is not something that the foundation building monks in this village can afford.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping was grateful.

"Let's get married, don't waste your aura."

Then come on.

Yudan.
