In the ashram.

Xiyue completed the practice of the first *** method, exhaled like an orchid, and slowly opened her big eyes.

Scanning around, he pulled a booklet out of his storage bag and studied his plan for the next mission.

On the wall, Chen calmly stared.

He even deliberately moved slightly.

Hey.

I can't find it.

The first monk of the Western Wilderness.

Rookie.

Chen Ping suddenly lost the interest of continuing to peep and probe, and suddenly disappeared on the wall.

Xi Yue sensed something, turned her head to look at the wall, and then immediately felt it, shook her head, and continued to look at her booklet.

After Chen Ping came out, he thought about it and continued to go outside.

Wrong.

I guess I tried the spell effect.

The male cultivators of the caves on the left are all relatively high, so it's not easy to try, and if it's discovered, it will inevitably cause friction, so it's not good. The cultivation of the female cultivators on the right is a little weaker, they are all in the early stage of Jindan or the foundation building period, so they can just give it a try.

'Hiss~,

'This grandmaster-level spell is really... ，

Hey, it's fallen.

Everyone is a serious person, which is not good. If you develop a bad habit, the gains outweigh the losses.

It's getting dark, try again.

At most one.

If you still can't sense it, don't try it.

…… Midnight.

Chen Ping returned to the quiet room of his cave mansion and determined that as long as this spell did not use his divine sense or spiritual power at will, his current level could be absolutely safe to deceive the first layer of Jindan. The second layer depends on the vigilance of the other party. The third layer of Jindan is at risk of being detected.

Of course, this is up close.

At a long distance, it is equivalent to completely breathing and stealth, and the third layer of Jindan can't perceive it.

It's very good, and it's a good way to save your life.

'Grandmaster: 999/1000, the level of the retreat technique is strong.

'Try again at what speed and duration. ，

Chen Ping's body was like a swimming dragon, burrowing into the ground, swimming quickly underground, turning for a while, until he felt a throbbing, and then quickly returned to the quiet room.

It's almost 80% faster than Edgeworth's flight.

Not bad.

In terms of time, it has increased from dozens of breaths at the beginning to two hours now.

This time, as long as it is not a long-distance journey, is basically enough.

has lived up to his hard work for nearly a year.

For most of the year, Chen Ping spent all his time on exercises and retreats.

In addition to Tu Dun, Shui Dun and Mu Dun have also already started, but he didn't focus on spending time on cultivation, but spent most of his time on Tu Dun.

This also made the earth escape reach 'Grandmaster: 999/1000,' in more than half a year.

'It's 1 o'clock before it's consummating, go on. ，

Chen Ping continued to concentrate on practicing spells.

A few hours later, there was a throbbing, and he was overjoyed and quickly opened the panel.

[Spell: Earth Escape (Grand Master): 1/1000.] 】

Well?

Isn't it 'consummation,'

There was actually a 'Great Grandmaster,'

This was the first time he had cultivated a golden pill spell to this level, and he had no experience at all.

I never thought that there would be a 'great grandmaster, you must know the spells of the foundation building period, and the grandmaster is directly behind the great consummation.

I don't know if it's just this spell, or if it's the same for all Jindan spells?

But this is a good thing for Chen Ping.

This means that you can continue to improve, and when the time comes, you can hide it from the third layer of Jindan at close range

It is possible. It may also be much longer than two hours.

Anyway, the more in-depth the practice, the better.

Chen Ping put away the panel and walked out of the quiet room.

Seeing that the door of Xiyue's quiet room was closed, she didn't disturb her and went out of the cave alone.

In the past year, Xiyue has participated in two outing missions in full swing, either on the way to perform tasks or on the way to select tasks, actively exploring ways to get out of the Canglan grassland.

In her own words to Chen Ping, it is:

——Rest assured, where the experience of this Yuanying is, the Western Wilderness is invincible. Absolutely confident to take you out of the grassland. If there is nothing else to be done about this seat, then there is no chance for the other monks.

"Chen Daoyou is going out?" Minghe saw Chen Ping come out and said hello.

"yes, go to the village and see if there are any basic spells." Chen Ping replied, seeing Minghe leaning on the chair lazily, but his face was not very good, he asked in the spirit of caring about the neighbors:

"Ming Daoyou has encountered troubles?"

Minghe smiled bitterly:

"In this Canglan grassland, what day is there no trouble?"

"Hey, the aura here is insufficient, and I practiced the exercises a few days ago, and I almost lost my immortal path. Now that the foundation is damaged, I don't know how long it will take to recover from this injury."

"Practice? Practice a hammer."

Chen Ping: ......

"yes, the aura is too low." Chen Ping agreed.

That being said.

But in reality, Reiki was barely enough for him.

Under the superposition of multi-layered factors such as the Spirit Gathering Array, the Jade Bed, the Futon, and the robe with the sixth-order costume array, coupled with the abundance of Qi Gathering Pill, it was barely enough for him who was currently only on the first floor of the Golden Pill.

If you reach the second floor of Jindan, you may be overstretched.

But that's for later, more on that later.

Jindan's cultivation is not easy, and in the past year, he has only achieved the level of '9/100.

At this rate, it will take at least ten years to reach the second floor of Jindan.

If Xiyue's shot goes well, maybe she will be lucky enough to walk out of the Canglan Grassland at that time.

After saying goodbye to Minghe, Chen Ping went to a shop.

After asking, I learned that the book of the talisman class has not yet been purchased, and it has not even completed the trade with other villages.

After choosing for a while, I bought a basic book called "Jindan Flight Essentials".

Once knotted, the monk himself would have an epiphany about the art of flying. That is, at this moment, Chen Ping has not practiced flying art, so he can fly without the help of magic weapons.

But the speed and skill are primitive.

This can be improved by practicing spells.

"Are there any maps around the village for sale?" Chen Ping asked.

"Yes, do you want a detailed version or a simplified version?" The shopkeeper said respectfully, and then introduced the differences.

The simplified version mainly notes the habitat of the surrounding monsters, including the relatively safe way to get out.

The detailed version is in addition to the above, there are also some resources and the distribution of sect relics.

There is a certain difference in price.

Chen Ping decisively asked for the latter.

After the last inquiry, I bought a book of common demon beasts in the Canglan grassland - "Canglan Common Demon Beasts Illustrated".

A total of 38 top-grade spirit stones were spent.

Back in the cave, Chen Ping flipped through the map of the Canglan grassland on the outskirts of the village.

According to the marks on the map, there are indeed several villages on the Canglan grassland, and the nearest one is about 400,000 miles away, and the others are even farther, even millions of miles away.

And the closest sect ruins to this village are not too far, about 150,000 or 60,000 li away.

As for some large and small potential mines, there are more. Many of them are not raw spiritual stones, but other medicinal ores.

Chen Ping was sucked by a spiritual mine marked in the picture

Pull.

This spiritual mine is the largest spiritual mine around the village, only more than 30,000 miles away from the village. But for many years, no one dared to venture there to steal mines.

Because there is a fierce third-order late-stage demon beast guarding it, like an evil spirit, it can not only fly to the sky, but also escape to the ground. Ordinary monks are dead as long as they get close, let alone go to mining.

Therefore, it is also called the 'Evil Spirit Mine'.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Ping closed the album and wrote down the key elements.

In case you need to go out on a given day, this important information can reduce your risk for yourself.

Then he opened the "Canglan Common Demon Beast Illustrated Book".

A lot of the information was similar to the information that Chen Ping had inquired about before, but it was the types of demon beasts underground that made Chen Ping look at it for a while.

One of the most ferocious demon beasts in the ground is called 'Nine Joints Crocodile, Demon Beast.'

This kind of demon beast has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is fatal when it breaks nine knots. Under the same realm, deep underground, ordinary human monks are not their opponents.

This kind of demon beast rarely goes up to the ground, most of the time it inhabits underground, and the depth of its habitat varies, the shallow ones are only dozens of zhang deep, and the deep ones may be as deep as fifty or sixty miles.

This is far beyond the depth of the monk's retreat.

This is also the reason why Xiyue said that she didn't have to be too obsessed with the Escape Technique.

I don't know how far I can go now, but I'll go back and try." ，

Chen Ping closed the book.

Continue to practice the exercises.

......

Half a year passed in a flash, and Chen Ping, who was in the quiet room, exhaled and opened the panel.

[Jindan Spell: Earth Escape Technique: Perfection. Water Escape (Starter): 930/1000. Wood Escape (Beginner): 700/1000. Aeronautical (Specialist): 211/1000. 】

It's finally complete. ，

'Next, get the flying technique liver up. ，

With these two spells as the foundation, in this dangerous Canglan grassland, it can be regarded as the most basic survival guarantee. ，

Combined with the splitting wind shuttle, if you can't hit it, you can fly, and if you can't fly, you can drill into the ground. ，

Chen Ping looked at these two spells and felt extremely relieved.

If you want to attack spells, you don't need to practice new ones for the time being.

Offensive spells are generally not basic spells, and there aren't many of them available for sale here.

The most important thing is that several late-stage spells in the foundation building period have been practiced to perfection, and they already have the strength to fight with Jin Dan, such as the Heavenly Punishment Thunder, and even more so the Qingmang Sword.

Especially the Qingmang Sword, not to mention the first layer of Jindan, the second layer of ordinary Jindan may not be able to block it.

The next thing is to quickly ascend to the realm. ，

It's a pity that the aura here is not good, and it's barely okay to practice slowly. But to speed up the progress, Reiki becomes the biggest bottleneck. ，

After all, the Qi Gathering Pill is only a foundation building pill, and the medicinal power is not too big. ，

In the past year and a half, when Xiyue went out on a mission, she would sometimes bring some raw ore of spirit stones, but there were not many. This village has been in operation for hundreds of years, and the demon beasts outside have long become ghostly and ghostly, and they are not easy to steal.

'I have to find a way to raise my aura a little bit. ，

Just as he was pondering this, there was a sound of the formation activating outside.

Chen Ping knew that it was Xiyue who had returned.

I don't know how many times she's been out.

"Master, how about this time?" Chen Ping sat down in the cave mansion, looked at it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiyue was not injured.

Moonlight Wind and Dust:

"There's good news, there's bad news, which do you want to hear?"

"What's the difference? I want to hear the bad ones." Chen Ping said speechlessly.

"The bad news is that, judging from the information I have received, the guardians of the ancient tower have made a decision to join forces with several other villages to attack the ruins in the middle of the grassland in two years, so as to get a glimpse of the secret of getting out of the Canglan grassland." Xiyue took a deep breath.

Chen Ping was stunned when he heard this.

The ruins in the middle of the grassland are also said to be a ruins that are collectively guarded by many demon beasts.

It is speculated that it is a place where the secret of getting out of the Canglan grassland may be hidden.

The problem is that there was a fight a hundred years ago, and the human monks at that time were defeated.

Heavy losses.

Why can't we wait now?

"Sure?"

"Chances are. Or maybe the Guardians of the Ancient Tower will announce it in the near future." Xiyue looked at the young apprentice in front of her with a solemn expression:

"In the last *** war, the Terran monks suffered countless casualties, and the lower strength bore the brunt. You have just entered Jindan for more than a year now, and it is not good for you to start a war at this moment. So that's bad news."

This kind of big war, one death is one.

And there is no way back, everyone has to go there, unless they permanently stop entering the villages, and wander forever in the wasteland.

"The good news?"

"That's the good news." Xiyue said excitedly.

Chen Ping: ......

"It's been a year and a half since I entered here, and judging from the news I've learned from this seat, it's basically impossible to escape by looking for an inexplicable ancient formation, and it's even a matter of whether the formation exists. But such a big battle is not an opportunity, as long as we get a glimpse of a secret in the big war, maybe we will have a chance to get out of the Canglan grassland."

Chen Ping nodded.

What Xiyue said is not unreasonable.

When he was trapped in the Qingyun Domain, the way to solve it was very clear, and that was to break the formation. As long as you break through the fog array, you will have a chance to live, otherwise you will be enchanted.

The path and the outcome are clear.

But now it's different, now like a headless fly, I don't know where to go out of the Canglan grassland.

There's no way to start.

If you can peek into a little secret, you know where the problem needs to be solved.

Even if this problem that needs to be overcome is difficult, such as breaking an ancient formation? Or if you want to find a treasure? Or maybe you're going to defeat a monster? Wait a minute.

As long as there is a clear direction, a solution may be found.

He didn't want to be stuck here for the rest of his life.

"So in the next two years, there is only one thing you need to do, and that is to improve your cultivation as much as possible and improve your strength."

Xi Yue said and took out a storage bag, and with a movement of her divine sense, a pile of spirit stone ore appeared on the table:

"These spirit stone ore were obtained when this seat went out this time, and they are all for you to use for cultivation. In the next two years, this seat will find as many spirit stone ore as possible for you, and the strength is higher, and the self-protection ability will be more at that time."

Chen Ping took a look at the large pile of spirit stone ore.

Nowadays, it is not an easy task to steal spiritual mines.

Every piece is hard to come by.

"What about you?"

"This seat? The higher the cultivation of this seat, the more powerful the suppression, so if you don't cultivate, you can't do it." Xiyue said lightly.

Chen Ping didn't know where to go.

In fact, this is not the case.

Although it is said that the higher the cultivation, the more powerful the suppression, but the practice of spells also requires aura, and it also requires aura to maintain one's own operation and refine the primordial spirit.

It's just because there aren't many spiritual mines.

"Thank you for your kindness. Master don't worry about this, I'll just figure it out myself." Chen Ping had an idea in his heart.

"You want to do it? You—" Xiyue was stunned.

Chen Ping interrupted her:

"I've got my own measure."

"Also, is there any other valuable information from this outing?"

Xiyue looked at Chen Ping, hesitated for a moment and said:

"There is another matter, I don't want to tell you, but you and I are now living and dying together, and this matter may also be closely related to your safety, so I should listen to it."

"What?" Chen Ping's heart tightened.

I have a hunch that what Xiyue said is likely to be very important.

"This Canglan grassland may have something to do with the passage of the demon race into the human world." Xiyue paused for a moment and said calmly.

Chen Ping was shocked.

Why does this matter also have something to do with the demons?

"What do you mean by that?"

Xiyue shook her head:

"I don't know, but when I first entered this place, I had such a feeling in my heart. As a provider of channel confinement, I may not be wrong with this feeling in the dark. But where the specific connection is, I really haven't found any clues."

There was a pause. Xiyue said again:

"Moreover, those guardians of the ancient tower, this seat also feels that there is an indescribable feeling."

Chen Ping was stunned again:

"They have a problem too?"

"That's not it, it can be seen that they really want to get out of the Canglan grassland, and they are also working tirelessly for this, which can't be fake." Xiyue shook her head and said quietly:

"But I always feel that they are hiding too much information that they don't say."

"Anyway, before the big war comes, be careful."

Chen Ping nodded.

This grassland is full of quirks.

Monsters are like that.

The laws of heaven and earth are so.

This is not necessarily the case with the ancient pagoda in the middle of the village.
