Before leaving the Lingxiao Sect, his apprentice Yun Lingshan had already helped find the Demon Crystal of the Ten Thousand Soul Beast and the Crystallization of the Frost Milk.

These two spiritual materials are the raw materials needed to improve the runic ink of the Soul Melt Charm and the Ice Bird Talisman, respectively.

In Tianyan City, I bought the relevant books.

The method of optimizing rune ink is very simple, you only need to grind and crush the spiritual materials to form powder, and take a certain amount and add it to the original rune ink. Then use the spiritual power, stir it in a certain way to make it fully fused.

The only thing that is a bit of a challenge is that there is only an approximate recommended ratio for the amount of powder of demon crystals or similar spiritual materials added to the book, and the rune master must fine-tune it according to the characteristics of the rune ink, and then determine the optimal value from the changes in the rune ink after adding it.

This is also not difficult for Chen Ping.

Soon completed the rune ink configuration, and began to draw the soul melt rune.

The market demand of the soul melting talisman is not as good as the white shield talisman, but the unit price is much higher than the white shield talisman, the white shield talisman is forty medium-grade spirit stones, and the soul melting talisman can reach seventy medium-grade spirit stones.

What's more, you can use it for yourself.

The years are quiet, and Chen Ping's painting is two months.

One of the advantages of such a small town is that as long as you stay in your own house, you don't have to worry about being calculated by others. The few third-order formations that he had arranged by himself were impossible to crack by foundation building or qi refining period cultivators.

Chen Ping plans to stay here for a while longer.

On this day, he quietly went out of the city, and then sank into the sea, and quickly fled to the depths of the sea.

Finally, it stopped on a small uninhabited island more than a thousand miles away from the vast city.

Then set up a defensive formation on the island, and after making all preparations, take out the snow falcon obtained in the Canglan grassland.

Chen Ping was confident that he could tame the snow falcon in terms of combat power, but this demon beast was small in size and extremely fast in flight, and once it chose to escape, it would not be so easy to chase after it.

But with a defensive formation, it's no problem.

Especially the rule-based formation of the 'Luoyi Hun Heavenly Array', with the IQ of a third-order demon beast, it is basically incapable of getting out.

After the snow falcon was released, he looked around blankly, and then saw Chen Ping, and a sharp chirp came.

In the air, a sharp phantom of a bird's beak rushed towards it.

The biggest feature of the snow falcon is that the divine soul attack is very prominent, far stronger than the human monks of the same realm.

Too much stronger.

This is the case with this bird's beak phantom in front of me.

But in the next breath, a huge skull appeared and devoured the bird's beak in one bite.

Chen Ping also unleashed a spell attack.

Although the Snow Falcon is highly aggressive, its other spells are not too aggressive, and so is its defense.

In this way, he was quickly convinced by Chen Ping.

A few days later, a new line of text appeared on the panel:

[Snow Falcon Beast Trick (Beginner): 1/1000. 】

The more proficient the Snow Falcon is in the beast control technique, the deeper the experience and understanding of the divine soul attack shared by its master and servant. The more prominent the Blood Falcon's Divine Soul attack power is, and Chen Ping himself can also get some feedback.

Because it is shared, the final gain achieved depends on the strength of both parties.

If the owner's understanding of the Divine Soul attack itself is superficial, then the Snow Falcon will receive relatively little buff.

Chen Ping has an advantage in this regard.

His own Calling Trick Falling Sword Technique has been cultivated to the consummation realm, and his comprehension is not bad.

Not only that, but after mastering it, the Snow Falcon can achieve a certain amount of camouflage.

It looks like it's no longer a snow falcon, but a harmless ordinary bird.

The higher the level of proficiency, the stronger the camouflage, and finally the level of deceiving the monks of the same realm, and even making the monks of a slightly higher realm relax their vigilance.

In a nutshell.

The more proficient it is, the more aggressive the Blood Falcon Soul becomes.

The more camouflaged.

After returning from an uninhabited island, I saw some wounded people walking by on the streets. Before he entered his house, he saw that the neighbor next door was also injured.

"Chen Daoyou didn't answer the call to kill the sea beast?" When the neighbor Qiao Xiu saw Chen Ping coming back, he took the initiative to say hello.

Chen Ping's next door lives a family of three, and the head of the family, Qiao Daoyou, is a casual cultivator with an eighth-layer Qi practice, who is considered a good cultivator in the city, and he is also a talisman master, so he is not bad economically, and he is considered a leader in casual cultivation.

Because of this, their family of three lives in this most luxurious retreat area.

Because he knew that Chen Ping was also a Fu Master, as long as he saw Chen Ping, he would take the initiative to chat.

"Didn't go, what happened?" Chen Ping looked at Brother Qiao, who had an injury on his arm.

Brother Joe smashed his mouth:

"It's good that I didn't go. Hehe, everyone who went this time was unlucky. The demon beast that came to attack the ferry this time was not simple, it was a red swordfish demon beast. ”

In Brother Qiao's introduction, Chen Ping learned that this vast city was often attacked by sea beasts because it was close to the sea on one side.

However, because there are foundation monks in the city, every time the sea beast attacks, the vast city can launch a fierce counterattack. When encountering an overly powerful sea beast or a group of sea beasts, the City Lord's Mansion will also summon the scattered cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to participate in the task together.

Such a task is simply sending spirit stones to the door for casual cultivators, so every recruitment activity can get a positive response from casual cultivators.

This time was no exception.

"Originally, it was an ambush to strangle two red swordfish demon beasts, one in the early stage of the second order and one in the early stage of the first order. We have two monks in the middle of the foundation building, and they are in ambush, which should be a sure thing. But after killing that first-order demon beast, there was a very fierce male beast, because it happened suddenly, and it was at sea, our side was caught off guard, and several Qi cultivation period cultivators died in an instant. The two foundation-building predecessors also retreated. Hey, fortunately, there is a trap that has dragged down the speed of the red swordfish demon beast, otherwise I am afraid that the loss will be even more serious. Brother Qiao sighed.

Brother Qiao actually didn't quite understand that the three red swordfish looked like a family.

But why didn't the most powerful one appear together in the first place?

This is the main reason for the heavy losses.

On the other hand, the reason is that the Qi refining period cultivators cannot fly with the sword, so they can only stay on the spirit ship, and their combat power is greatly reduced when fighting at sea.

Although the Tsukiji Monk can fly with a sword, the sword consumes a lot of spiritual power, and he will be tied up in battle.

In battles at sea, human monks have always suffered.

"What realm is that male red swordfish demon beast?" Chen Ping asked.

"It should be a second-order late-stage demon beast, and it seems that the strength is not only the strength of the seventh or eighth layer of the foundation, but also the strength of the ninth layer of the foundation. That's really, it's the first time I've seen such a ferocious monster. Brother Qiao still had some palpitations when he thought about it now.

Second-order demon beasts?

That's fine.

Chen Ping was relieved, but he was curious:

"This sea is very vast, there may not be a shortage of demon beasts in such a sea area, there have not been such powerful demon beasts in these years?"

After all, there are only two mid-foundation monks in the city.

"Yes, and there were. When encountering a demon beast that the two foundation building predecessors were unable to do, then they could only stop going to the sea. If it doesn't work for half a month, it will be a month, and if it doesn't work for a month, it will be two months, and usually in two or three months, these sea beasts will leave on their own when they can't eat us and other human monks. It's the same this time, Chen Daoyou should not go to the sea during this time. Brother Joe reminded.

Chen Ping thanked him for his reminder.

As soon as he said that, he didn't bother to care.

This kind of scene is the norm in this Immortal Cultivation City.

Chen Ping was about to say thank you, when he saw Brother Qiao's daughter running back in a hurry, with a worried face:

"Dad, I heard you're hunting beasts again? Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Seeing Chen Ping, the little girl bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting:

"Chen Daoyou."

Chen Ping nodded, seeing that his family was reunited, he didn't bother anymore, went back to the house by himself, and continued to draw talismans.

……

Meanwhile.

About a thousand miles away from the Vast City, there was another Xiuxian City built on the cliff of the coast.

In the palace of the city lord surnamed Meng, in a secret room, a monk in the Qi refining stage and a monk in the middle stage of foundation building were gathering under the light to plot.

The monk is the lord of this castle called Seagull City.

"What's going on over there in Vast City?" The middle-aged Zhuji City Lord asked another relatively immature young monk.

Young Monk Path:

"Everything is going according to the plan. They really fell into the trap and killed the first-order red swordfish demon beast cub, and then successfully attracted the father of the first-order demon beast, I waited to control the interference time, just right. This time, the second-order red swordfish lost its young child, and I am afraid that it will not give up and will not leave easily. ”

The city lord didn't seem to care much about the question of the red swordfish staying, but asked in a slightly hurried tone:

"How many of them were injured? Are the Xia City Lords and the two foundation building monks injured? ”

The young monk recalled:

"The younger generation inquired that there were many monks who went to the sea this time, and four died. More than half of the rest were more or less injured, the Xia City Lord was not injured, but the other Fu Yingcai was already injured. Ancestor, can the venom of the red swordfish really make them go crazy and lose control? ”

The city lord of Meng sneered:

"Of course you can't be injured by an ordinary red swordfish demon beast, but this one is different. In short, you don't need to know the details, just continue to observe the situation in the vast city, and wait until their high-end combat power is further consumed, and the time for us to attack the city will come. Be vigilant, the seniors have high hopes for us. ”

"Yes, Ancestor." The young monk's spirit was shaken.

Thinking of something, the temptation asked:

"Ancestor. Please forgive the juniors for bluntly speaking, are the seniors a demon cultivator? ”

As soon as these words came out, seeing that the face of the city lord of Meng was cold, the young monk immediately said:

"Ancestor is not strange, the younger generation is just curious, and has no other intentions. It's just, it's just that the younger generation is worried, we will do things for that senior, will our Meng family be intolerable by the righteous path in the future? ”

"Don't you?" Seagull City Lord Meng's face was gloomy:

"Do you think we have a choice? From the moment my seniors found me, our Meng family was completely tied to her. ”

The Lord of Meng stood up and paced to the window:

"But it's not a bad thing, it's an opportunity, an opportunity for me to wait for the Meng family to soar. That senior had a great plan, not only for the Vast City, but also for the other Immortal Cultivation Cities on this coastline. But it was inconvenient for her to show her face, so my Meng family got such an opportunity. ”

What the lord of the castle didn't say explicitly was:

That senior had already promised him that their Meng family did not need to change their demonic skills, and they were still righteous monks on the surface.

It's just that there's a demon cultivator standing behind him.

Just imagine how much of a stake it would be to control the entire coastline.

And he can also get some rewards for improving his cultivation from that senior, which is not a big temptation.

"Anyway, you don't need to ask about that, keep an eye on the movement of the Vast City. We need to take the vast city as soon as possible. The city lord said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Ancestor."

……

The Vast City.

Chen Ping hid in the house all day to concentrate on drawing talismans, and the third-order talisman book he had redeemed in Lingxiao Sect included a total of ten kinds of talismans.

Now it's all on.

Among them, the white shield talisman that focuses on defense and the soul calming talisman that focuses on divine soul protection have been brushed to the 'Great Perfection'.

Although the other talismans, the Five Elements Escape Talisman, and the Concentration Rune were not the talismans he wanted, they all entered the door.

The current proficiency level of these talismans is mostly somewhere between beginner and proficient.

The Soul Melting Talisman and the Ice Bird Talisman were the talismans he began to draw when he arrived in the Vast City.

are still in the second half of the introductory level.

During this time, he mainly drew two kinds of talismans, one was the white shield talisman, which was mainly used to sell, and it was convenient to sell in large quantities.

The other type of talisman is the Soul Melting Talisman.

This kind of talisman was very useful to Chen Ping himself, and he naturally wanted to brush it up slowly.

Late that night, when I was drawing talismans, there was a sudden knock on the door:

"Chen Daoyou, are you there? Help. Chen Daoyou. ”

Chen Ping could tell from the voice that it was the Taoist companion of Brother Qiao next door, and the woman knocked on the door in the middle of the night, not knowing what was happening.

Open the door: "He Daoyou, what's wrong?" ”

When Brother He saw Chen Ping, the took Chen Ping's arm with one hand:

"Chen Daoyou, help me take a look at my old Qiao, Lao Qiao suddenly couldn't control himself."

Can't control yourself?

Chen Ping couldn't help but be stunned.

What does that mean?

"Please also ask He Daoyou to tell me carefully, what does it mean that you can't control yourself?"

It turned out that since two months ago, after a group of monks from Vast City went to sea to encircle and suppress the red swordfish, Qiao Daoyou and many injured monks began to become cold and happy in the days that followed.

At first, people didn't pay much attention to it.

Until one of the most seriously injured monks suddenly went crazy and attacked the neighborhood, and his appearance became neither human nor ghostly.

Fortunately, the Xia City Lord and the city guards appeared in time and brought it under control. However, during the subsequent period of his imprisonment, the city lord's mansion tried everything to prevent his death.

To make matters worse, other wounded monks began to experience similar symptoms.

It was finally determined that it was the toxin that the red swordfish carried.

The Xia City Lord could only make frequent moves, using the power of foundation building to suppress the toxins in the bodies of these monks and slow down their deterioration.

Once it deteriorates to an extremely dangerous level, on the verge of madness, the City Lord's Mansion will imprison these people.

This move is tantamount to a declaration of renunciation against this person.

In fact, this incident has already caused a stir in the vast city, and everyone knows about it. It's just because Chen Ping has always lived in seclusion and has no contact with others that he doesn't know the ins and outs of the incident.

"Yesterday, the Xia City Lord just came to suppress the toxins in my body's body. I never thought it would happen again today. Please also ask Chen Daoyou to help take a look. ”

Brother He had tears in his eyes, but he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, as if he didn't want others to hear it.

Although Chen Ping still had some questions, when he saw Monk He's appearance, he knew that now was not the time to ask questions.

We have to solve Brother Joe's problem first:

"He Daoyou, it's not that I don't want to help, I'm just practicing Qi Ninth Layer Cultivation, not much higher than Qiao Daoyou. Since the Xia City Lord was willing to suppress the toxin for every poisoned monk, it was best for He Daoyou to go to the Xia City Lord to help. ”

Hearing Chen Ping say this, Brother He covered his mouth and cried.

He shook his head vigorously.

"Can't go, can't go. If the Xia City Lord knew that Lao Qiao would have an attack every other day, he would definitely imprison Lao Qiao and leave him to fend for himself. ”

"Chen Daoyou, please. You are a ninth-level Qi cultivation cultivator, second only to the Xia City Lord and Senior Fu. Please, save my old Joe. I didn't dare to go to other casual cultivators. ”

Chen Ping was stunned for a while.

I thought you didn't dare to go to other monks, so you dared to come to me?

Not afraid of me reporting it?

He thought for a moment and said:

"He Daoyou will lead the way, I'll take a look, but I don't know if I can save Brother Qiao, after all, I have only practiced the ninth layer of qi."

Brother He hurriedly thanked him, wiped a handful of tears and hurriedly led Chen Ping.
