399 The Dilemma of the Ling Xiao Sect
Tianyanzong. Ninth Peak.
When Chen Ping arrived at the ninth peak, he learned that Yu Lingchun had gone to the mortal world to carry out the garrison mission.
Shizun Xiyue is in the sect.
"Met that hidden family? Got what you wanted? In the main palace, Xiyue put down the book she was reading.
Chen Ping replied after seeing the ceremony:
"I went to Senluo Continent, but I didn't go west to find the hidden family, but on the way, I was lucky enough to meet a ghost cultivator, got what I wanted, and hurried back."
Xiyue nodded, didn't ask more, but looked at Chen Ping seriously:
"Jindan is on the third floor?"
"On the way, I was fortunate enough to break through a small realm." Chen Ping replied truthfully.
Xiyue nodded indifferently:
"It's not bad, it's almost at the speed of this seat back then."
Glancing at Chen Ping, he continued:
"After entering the third layer of Jindan, the heart tribulation of Jindan will also follow, Tianyan Sect has a tower of heart tribulation, if the heart tribulation comes, you can take this token to the tower to sharpen the heart tribulation."
As she spoke, a token flew from Xiyue's hand.
Chen Ping took the token and hurriedly thanked him:
"Thank you, Master."
After putting away the token, Chen Ping took out a piece of animal skin and handed it to Xiyue.
When I killed that female demon cultivator in the vast city, I got some plans and layouts about the demon clan and demon cultivators from her soul questioning, which were very sparse and not the whole picture. The female demon cultivator has only built the ninth layer, and she doesn't have too much information. However, this fragmentary information is still helpful in grasping the movements of the demon cultivator.
Chen Ping didn't want to risk pursuing these things, but it might be valuable to Xiyue.
"There are some layouts that are beyond the mastery of this seat, and this is very valuable to this seat." Xiyue said after reading the animal skin scroll.
Hehe.
It's good to be valuable.
Chen Ping took the opportunity to explain the intention of this visit:
"Master, the apprentice came here this time, and he also wanted to ask the master for two treasures."
"What treasure?"
"The apprentice Daoist Yun Haitang has built the foundation of the ninth layer, and the knot is imminent, the apprentice has only bought a bottle of liquid water when he has gone out over the years, I wonder if there are other liquids of the five elements here? The matter of Yudan is not trivial, and he wants to be prepared for everything. Chen Ping said bluntly.
Xi Yue, who was on the main seat, looked at Chen Ping.
Without saying anything, four beautiful porcelain vases flew over.
Chen Ping took the porcelain bottle with the faint fragrance on Xiyue's body, and hurriedly thanked him.
"Is there anything else? If it's okay, go out, I'm going to practice. Xiyue was inexplicably a little irritable.
Chen Ping: ." Master, is there still a golden pill? ”
Xiyue took a deep breath.
In the end, a small porcelain vase was thrown.
Chen Ping took Jin Dan and noticed that Xiyue's mood seemed to be a little wrong, so he hurriedly thanked him, and then said no more.
This master is very good at joking when he is in a good mood, and even infinitely opens up the sarcasm skill. But when you're really angry, it's still quite scary.
Yuan Ying was angry, it wasn't just a matter of blood splattering in five steps.
I just don't know why her emotions suddenly came up.
Menopausal women just don't have a good time coping.
"Thank you, Master. That apprentice will not disturb Shizun's Qingxiu, and will come to visit Shizun in the future. Chen Ping said goodbye.
Out of the main palace, Senior Sister Guan was waiting outside.
"Senior Sister Guan, why are you here?"
"Oh, I heard that Master Chen is here, come and see Senior Brother." Senior Sister Guan said that she was looking at her junior brother, but her eyes were focused on the movement of the main palace.
She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the porcelain vase in Chen Ping's hand that had not yet had time to put away, and said in surprise:
"Shizun gave Senior Brother Chen a golden pill?"
"yes." Chen Ping put away the porcelain vase.
"Isn't my junior brother not adventurous? What conditions did you agree to? Senior Sister Guan asked curiously.
Now it was Chen Ping's turn to be curious: "Do you still need conditions?" ”
"Don't you want conditions?"
"Do you want it?"
Senior Sister Guan took a deep breath, she understood.
Originally, she had learned from the previous experience, and she was still thinking about whether to go in and take the opportunity to ask the master for some benefits.
But seeing that Chen Ping didn't even have to give the conditions to get the benefits, he concluded that the master must be in a good mood at this time.
She quietly raised her hand:
"Well, junior brother, please. Senior sister hasn't been to say hello to Shizun for a long time, it's time to go. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and walked towards the main palace.
Chen Ping felt that this senior sister was a little inexplicable, and when he heard the fierce reprimand of the master from inside, it was even more inexplicable.
This pair of masters and apprentices is true
All are menopausal women.
Chen Ping shook his head, avoided being burned, and left quickly.
After coming out of Tianyan Sect, Chen Ping weighed the left and right, and did not choose to wait for Yu Lingchun in Tianyan City, but chose to return to Lingxiao Sect as soon as possible.
According to Lin Changan's statement, he didn't know what happened to Ling Xiaozong, so he had to go back and take a look as soon as possible.
Two days later, Chen Ping appeared on the small bamboo peak of the Lingxiao Sect.
When Chen Ping returned to Xiaozhu Peak, Yun Haitang and Yun Lingshan were not there. He instructed the maid to inform him, and he went back to the ashram first, habitually reviewing his outing.
Pinching his fingers, it took a total of 5 years to leave the Ling Xiao Sect this time.
But the trip was very good.
Got the Fu Gong shop done; Obtained the practice of refining the body; Several sets of formation books and instruments were obtained; Photographed the improved book of Fu Mo; Obtained a priceless book of the Imperial Beasts; The Soul Whip was upgraded to a magic weapon and obtained the Refining Instrument Book; let Xu Ruyan be promoted to the third order and bought a large number of evil qi pills; I found the liquid of the five elements and a golden pill needed for the cloud begonia pill.
Although there were some dangers along the way, it was a rehearsal for the upcoming battle between humans and demons.
'It's okay, it's not bad. ’
Chen Ping smiled knowingly.
With these things, when the real war between humans and demons comes, I can be regarded as having a little bit of a means to save my life. ’
Of course, I need to digest this gain and turn it into my own advantage before I can really use it. ’
'Next, seize every opportunity to further improve your cultivation and advance to the middle stage of Jindan, which is more important than anything else. ’
I hope the war between humans and demons doesn't come slowly. ’
When Chen Ping was sorting out what he had obtained in the quiet room, Yun Haitang hurried back.
"Husband, you're finally back." Yun Haitang walked out and held Chen Ping's hand, as if holding the Dinghai Divine Needle, and his heart suddenly became a lot more detailed.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ping originally wanted to pull her to warm up for a while, but he sensed a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in her tone.
Yun Haitang looked at her husband, and saw that Chen Ping had no traces of injury, so she was relieved before she nodded:
"It's not a big deal, but it's about Xiaozhufeng, it's about you and me. Yun Lingshan is also here, in the living room, let's go outside and talk together? ”
"Okay."
Chen Ping and Yun Haitang went out to the living room together, and Yun Lingshan, who was already sitting there, saw Chen Ping come out and stood up to salute:
"Master."
Chen Ping nodded, and the three of them sat down.
After being introduced by Yun Haitang, it turned out that Gong Zhiyuan was here.
Chen Ping clearly remembered that Gong Zhiyuan originally came from a large sect in Zhongdao, and he took advantage of the chaos to come to the Seven Star Gate in the northeast of the Qingyun Domain decades ago, and after becoming the new head of the Seven Star Gate, he expanded and annexed territory everywhere.
At the beginning, he had the idea of Qingyun Domain, and the Yun family's mine was in Gong Zhiyuan's plan.
It was only later that Chen Ping planted the blame, so he was forced to withdraw from this area and return to Zhongdao.
Unexpectedly, now that the situation is chaotic, this guy is here again.
"This time, Gong Zhiyuan is stationed in the Dragon Seeking Sect in the south of the Qingyun Domain." The slender willow eyebrows of the cloud begonia have no traces of stretching.
"Dragon Seeking Sect?"
This sect Chen Ping naturally knew that it was the sect where Xu Ruyan's scumbag brother-in-law was originally located.
It lives next to Qingyun Domain.
Chen Ping had a headache, the Ethereal Continent was so big, why was Gong Zhiyuan so interested in this remote corner of the Western Wilderness?
What Gong Zhi did autonomously?
Or is the sect behind him intent on expanding here?
Yun Haitang's tone was filled with resentment:
"Well, Gong Zhiyuan has become the new head of the Dragon Seeking Sect, and just like last time, he has begun to expand aggressively, and has already annexed two sects to the south. Gong Zhiyuan came to the head of Wei two years ago and asked the head of Wei to assign all the thousands of miles to the south of the Qingyun Domain to the Dragon Seeking Sect. ”
"Although it has not been negotiated, Gong Zhiyuan is very strong, and the territory has advanced to the north. Half a year ago, the piece of the Southern Purple Spirit Field that we operated had been forcibly seized by the Dragon Seeking Sect. I weighed the right and left, decided to give up, and had already withdrawn all the personnel. ”
"I can't tell if they purely want to expand northward, or if they are purely interested in that spiritual field and medicine field, so in order not to be seen by them, I didn't even take back those two Mu Red Carp."
Chen Ping was clear.
No wonder Yun Lingshan returned to the Ling Xiao Sect a year ago.
So that's what happened.
However, although Yun Haitang couldn't figure out whether Gong Zhiyuan purely wanted to expand to the north or fell in love with the Southern Purple Spirit Field.
But Chen Ping knows very well that most of them are the former.
That piece of spiritual field that cultivated purple spiritual rice was attractive to small sects, but Gong Zhiyuan came from a large sect in Zhongdao District with Yuanying power, and it was unlikely that this small benefit would be able to enter the eyes of the other party.
As for the medicine field, it is purely due to the excellent water quality of that lake.
The water quality is really good, but it is also not a priceless thing, and it is not difficult for such a large sect with Yuan Ying to improve the water quality.
"You're right, the other party is a Jindan seventh-layer real person, and there is a big sect standing behind it, we can avoid its edge as much as possible. Losing a piece of Lingtian Medicine Field is just a trivial matter, and it is a big deal to start again. Chen Ping nodded.
In fact, the begonias have come all over again.
After the Southern Purple Spirit Field was abandoned, they found a new area in the forest near the Ling Xiao Sect and continued to cultivate purple spirit rice.
However, because of the water quality, those spiritual materials have not been planted again, and they have been stopped for more than a year.
However, the medicine field has already been developed, and it can be put back into use after the new Muhong carp is put in.
I even bought a pair of Mu red carp and put it in Xiaozhu Lake.
In addition, Yun Feng has completely retired, and his son is currently continuing to take care of Xiaozhu Feng's ecology.
In fact, not only the Southern Purple Spirit Field was abandoned, but many of the industries in the south of the Lingxiao Sect had already been abandoned and migrated back.
"What measures does Wei Sui have over there for this?" Chen Ping asked.
"Master Wei has been running around all these years, trying to unite with the surrounding sects to resist the expansion of the Dragon Seeking Sect, but he has gained little, Gong Zhiyuan's cultivation is too high, and none of these sects in the southwest of the Western Wilderness have such strength." Yun Haitang shook his head.
Chen Ping understood and confessed:
"You don't have to worry about this, we can just operate a new spiritual field. I've got the rest. ”
"Hmm." The head of the cloud begonia.
After a pause, he added with a smile:
"Husband, that Gong Zhiyuan Jindan is the seventh layer, and his strength is extraordinary, there is no need for Husband, there is no need for Husband to clash head-on with him for a momentary battle of will, this matter will be over."
"This is the case in the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected. But in my opinion, my husband will be a baby in the future, but it will take some time. ”
Chen Ping also smiled:
"Don't worry, your husband won't joke with his life. Besides, we are not the only ones who have been annexed to Lingtian, not even the Ling Xiao Sect, there are many people who are more powerful than us. ”
He knew that Yun Haitang was worried that he wouldn't be able to swallow this breath.
I'm afraid of acting rashly.
But having said that, Chen Ping actually felt that things might not end so easily.
Ambitious people, after eating their first free lunch, how can they be so willing to order it?
If you don't die, you won't stop.
I have to go to Wei Sui to find out more about this matter.
After Yun Lingshan left, Chen Ping pulled Yun Haitang and walked back:
"Are there any signs of a big feeling?"
"Not yet." Yun Haitang's face flushed.
"There's no urgency, just take your time." Chen Ping comforted, Yun Haitang has actually arrived at the ninth layer of the foundation for some years, but Chen Ping can't help too much in this matter, the big perception is different from person to person, and everyone needs to understand things differently.
Take out a storage bag and hand it to Yun Haitang:
"This time I went out and got the liquid of the five elements and a golden pill, you take them all. When the time comes, I will protect the Dharma for you, and there should be no problem. ”
Yun Haitang held Chen Ping's hand and tightened slightly, and turned his head to look at his husband's soft eyes:
"You've already given me a golden pill before. Plus the one I've taken by myself over the years, it's all three. ”
"One more golden pill and one more guarantee." Chen Ping smiled.
After walking for a while, he said:
"Now that the Yun family has one more foundation, in my opinion, you should also go out and travel, and you have to see the strangeness of the world to achieve great understanding. I'll go with you. ”
"I'm thinking about pushing my cultivation a little further before I go out. However, how can Yunyou accompany Yunyou? Is that still called Yunyou? Yun Haitang smiled sweetly.
Chen Ping didn't say anything.
We'll talk about that later.
However, whether he accompanies him or not, he plans to prepare some more life-saving means for her to go out, and there will be more runes, formations, pills, etc., which will always be conducive to life-saving.
That night, the two shared some of their experiences over the past few years.
In-depth communication.
The next day, Chen Ping was originally going to go to the Zhangmen's Mansion, but he didn't expect Wei Sui to come to Xiaozhufeng first.
There was also Ning Xiaoqi who came with Wei Sui, saying that he had come to ask Chen Ping about the knot. Ning Xiaoqi had already reached the ninth floor of the foundation and was currently planning to go out.
Wei Xian's cultivation did not change, but his expression became more depressed than before.
After chatting for a while, Chen Ping asked about the things he cared about:
"Yesterday, I heard that Gong Zhiyuan settled in the Dragon Seeking Sect, what does Gong Zhiyuan want?"
Speaking of this, Wei Sui sighed:
"Hey, I'm afraid I'll have to move this time."
"So serious?" Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat.
Are they all serious enough to have to be moved?
"It's much more serious than Chen Daoyou thought." Wei Sui shook his head and recounted what he had learned.
Gong Zhiyuan had already settled in the Dragon Seeking Sect three years ago, and it was a strong entry, and the original head of the sect had no room to refuse.
At the beginning, the original head of the family secretly complained to Wei Sui.
In the face of Gong Zhiyuan's strong expansion, Wei Sui had traveled left and right, but the surrounding small sects were not strong enough, so they could only swallow their anger and beg for peace.
One sect even took the initiative to show goodwill, willing to merge with the Dragon Seeking Sect.
"The last time Gong Zhiyuan came here to expand, another big sect that was also on an equal footing in Nakajima intervened. This time, that sect didn't make a move? Chen Ping asked.
Wei Sui shook his head:
"I have inquired, and that sect does not have any measures, and it is possible that the two sects have reached a consensus in private."
"And this time is different from the last time, Gong Zhiyuan is said to be unwilling to leave the last regret, this time it took him several years to completely break away from the original sect, and he came to develop his power in his own name."
Chen Ping shook his head secretly, remembering that in the original Flying Star Gate incident, he had inquired in detail about the grievances and grievances between the two major sects on Nakashima.
It's basically the kind of sworn enemy.
It is unlikely that a consensus will be reached in private.
As for whether Gong Zhiyuan has broken away from the original sect, no one can say this, only Gong Zhiyuan himself knows.
"In fact, this Gong Zhiyuan also came to me before he officially settled in the Dragon Seeking Sect, and wanted me to retire as the deputy head of the sect, and he would serve as the head of the Ling Xiao Sect. It's just that I didn't agree. ”
"At that time, I intentionally or unintentionally indicated that this sect was a mountain protection array arranged by Fairy Xiyue, and he was somewhat jealous of my relationship with Fairy Xiyue, so he didn't dare to take it."
"Now encroaching on the southern territory is not without the intention of temptation." Wei Sui said helplessly, and when he said this, he hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Ping again:
"I wonder if Lord Chen Feng can invite the Xiyue Fairy to come forward? Just a warning. ”
Wei Sui only knew that Chen Ping was providing spiritual wine to Xiyue, and he also knew that Chen Ping's Taoist companion Yu Lingchun was in Tianyan Sect.
But I didn't know that Chen Ping was a registered disciple of Xiyue.
"I'll give it a try." Chen Pingdao.
He knew that this was probably the reason why Wei Sui had come to visit in a hurry the day after he returned to the sect. It was a helpless move by Wei Sui in a desperate situation.
To be honest, Chen Ping actually didn't want to find Xiyue for everything.
In the final analysis, he is only one of the many disciples of Xiyue, and he is a registered disciple, not a disciple of Tianyan Sect.
He and Xiyue can be bound together, more because the two sides need each other and are mutually beneficial.
But if you ask too much unilaterally, the balance will tip and the balance will be lost.
Besides, Xiyue has Xiyue's business.
And if this matter really involves the backer behind Gong Zhiyuan, it will undoubtedly set up a potential enemy for Xiyue for no reason.
"Then there is Lord Lao Chenfeng." Wei Sui hurriedly thanked him.
“.”
"By the way, how many sects have been annexed by Gong Zhiyuan?" Chen Ping tried to find out as much information as he could.
"Two. However, Gong Zhiyuan is now arranging the annexation of Jishang Palace, and it is estimated that it is about the same. After the Extreme Supreme Palace is taken down, I'm afraid it will be my turn to wait for Ling Xiaozong next. Wei Sui exhaled.
"Extreme Upper Palace? Isn't that already close to the land of Nannuma Heluo? Chen Ping froze slightly.
"yes." Wei Sui was absent-minded.
Chen Ping listened thoughtfully, the land of Nanmara Heluo is similar to Senluo Continent, also known as Little Senluo Continent, where fish and dragons are mixed, and there is everything.
Some have the opportunity to give it a try.
“.”
After chatting for a while, Wei Sui said goodbye and left.
