Years.

[Realm: Jindan (7th floor): 11/100. 】

Chen Ping looked at the numbers on the panel and fell into deep thought.

After entering the seventh layer of Jindan for 5 years, the progress bar has only increased by '11' points, which is still the effect after the 'Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Tianzhang' has reached the full level and there are no obstacles to the comprehension of the exercises.

At this rate, it will take at least 50 years to enter the eighth layer of Jindan.

Although he expected the slow speed of Jindan's cultivation in the later stage, he was still a little melancholy at the moment.

Fifty years is too long.

If there is no chaos, you don't have to worry too much about time when you cultivate immortals quietly, your lifespan of nearly 600 years is less than 200 years old now, and you still have a long life to live, so you can take your time.

But the 260-year period mentioned by Xu Liang came in an instant.

Danger can strike at any time.

A small realm alone consumes fifty years, how can we be comfortable in the future?

Time is running out.

The late stage of Jindan is different from the early and middle stages of Jindan.

The early stage of Jindan is a continuation of the foundation building period, and the emphasis is on laying a good foundation.

The middle stage of Jindan is a bridge linking the 'foundation' and the 'original spirit', focusing on refining the state of mind.

In the later stage of Jindan, especially after the second Jindan Heart Tribulation, its focus has begun to transform to the primordial spirit refining, whether it is the void spirit, or the physical dantian, etc., it is all focused on serving the primordial spirit refining.

Jindan is a new start in the later period.

So slow.

However, although it is a refining primordial god, there is no need to practice the corresponding alchemy technique like the foundation building period. You only need to continue to practice the main exercises, and you can only continue to practice the main exercises.

The refining of the Yuan Shen in the later period of Jindan is not simply the refining of the Yuan Shen, but the existence environment of the Yuan Shen in the dantian, and the attributes of the Yuan Shen out of the body, which determines that its refining is integrated with the tempering of the state of mind, the body, and so on.

Looks like we'll have to find some popular science materials and see if there's any way to speed things up. ’

Chen Ping retracted the panel.

Walk over to the desk and sit down, flick your fingers to make the flame of the sparkling lamp burn a little brighter.

Spread out a rectangular animal skin on the desk, took out the pen and ink, and began to write the confusion of Xu Liang in "The Lost Soul Eagle Beast Technique".

In the past nearly twenty years, although the practice of this spell has been intermittent, because the cycle is long enough, now I have finally practiced this spell to the realm of 'grandmaster'.

smoothly spied on Xu Liang's confusion.

In fact, although this spell seems to be imaginative, in fact, the most basic beast control mechanism is still followed, and the underlying logic of those beast control techniques that Chen Ping practiced in the past is the same.

This is also known as "first principles".

Chen Ping's Nine Shadows Colorful Cicada, Cloud-winged Bird, Octagonal Deer, and Snow Falcon's beast control techniques have all been practiced to the full level, and he has an extraordinary understanding of the beast control technique itself, coupled with the guidance of the panel, so the "Lost Soul Eagle Beast Control Technique" is not too difficult in front of him.

At this moment, he picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote down the confusion Xu Liang encountered one by one.

Specifically, how to practice, how to avoid going astray, and related precautions.

This puzzle is not difficult to say, but it is extremely difficult, and it is the same as the first time, it is a question of choosing the best path for thousands of intricacies, and if there is no panel, it requires continuous trial and error, and the success rate is extremely low.

With panel guidance, you can perceive which path is the right one.

In a short time, a scroll of animal skins was densely written.

Chen Ping exerted his spiritual power slightly, dried the spiritual ink, and then rolled the animal skin into the storage bag.

Evening.

He walked out of Chen's mansion, walked out of Lianqi Street according to the address given by Xu Liang before, and walked through several streets successively before finding Xu Liang's house.

I knocked halfway and didn't see anyone open the door.

"Don't knock, it's dead." Suddenly a female monk walked out of the next door, swearing.

Chen Ping was shocked when he heard this:

"Dead? How did he die? ”

"How do I know how he died? That sloppy old man has been out for more than ten years and hasn't seen him come back, isn't he dead? Old thing, you still owe me a pill and haven't paid me back. The women friars complained.

Chen Ping:.

"Daoyou is his friend? The tired Taoist friend paid off his debts. The female monk looked at Chen Ping aggressively.

"No, I'm here to ask for a debt." Chen Pingdao.

Ignoring the friars, she turned and walked out of the street.

Instead of going home directly, he went to the pill shop where he had consulted the Evil Qi Pill.

When Chen Pingyan made his intentions clear and asked the shopkeeper about the evil qi pill, the shopkeeper was in a trance for a while, and he couldn't remember this incident, and several years had passed.

It wasn't until I looked through the records that I remembered:

"Ahh The shopkeeper found the alchemist at the beginning, but unfortunately he was no longer willing to refine the Evil Qi Pill, which was a pity. ”

Chen Ping had a slight regret.

However, the 50 bottles of the three-color evil qi pill I bought last time have not been used up yet, and it can be enough for the three sisters of the Xu family to use it for a few more years, and then it will be a big deal to look for it again from shop to store.

"Is there a brochure about the elixir? I'll see if there's anything suitable to buy some. Chen Ping said.

"Yes, fellow Daoist, wait." The shopkeeper turned around and took out a folded booklet from the cabinet.

Chen Ping took the booklet and looked through it.

There are eight or nine kinds of pills suitable for taking in the later stage of Jindan, and there is a text introduction below each pill.

Unfortunately, except for the general-purpose pills such as Huiqi Dan, the rest are all pills for healing, poisoning, or some specific functions.

There was no elixir to increase the cultivation speed that Chen Ping wanted.

It's right to think about it, the elixir of this level in the later stage of Jindan is not so easy to refine, it is normal to be scarce, and it is abnormal to overflow.

Not to mention the elixir like increasing cultivation speed.

Even if an alchemist refines it, I'm afraid it won't be sold in a shop, right?

After coming out of the pill shop, Chen Ping returned to Refining Street and went to Jia Zhongshui's house.

Jia Zhong is at home.

And there was already a Taoist friend who was discussing the Tao in the courtyard outside his cave mansion.

It is about the Tao of ancient refining tools.

The two argued with red ears and equal strength, and no one could convince anyone's posture.

Chen Ping listened for a while and did not speak.

Seeing that Chen Ping seemed to have something to do with Jia Zhongshu, the Daoyou snorted coldly at Jia Zhongshu and said angrily:

"Hmph, Master Ben will come back the next day, and he will definitely prove you wrong. He also said that he was a master of the great sect of refiners, and at this level, he couldn't understand it, phew. ”

Jia Zhongshou argued that the ground was red-eared:

",, what's the grade? Let's just keep getting to the bottom of it, right? Sooner or later, you'll be killed. At your level, you still call yourself a master, get out. ”

"You wait." The friend scolded and walked out of the door, and then went straight to the courtyard gate next door.

Chen Ping smiled but did not speak.

These two people are killing and loving each other.

"Chen Daoyou, sit down. Hey, this person is really, he has to come if he doesn't let him come, and every time he comes, he has to fight with me non-stop. I just said that there were some flaws in his method, and I didn't say that he couldn't do it, so he had to fight with me. "Jia Zhong's gas has not been completely eliminated.

Chen Ping smiled:

"An alchemist too?"

"Yes, I'm also a refiner, and I still have talent, but I like to drill the tip of the horns. Chen Daoyou has just studied refining tools for decades, and it is still difficult to understand the arguments of these ancient refining tools, and when you practice in-depth in the future, you will know how outrageous this person's thinking is. Jia Zhong said, busy pouring spiritual tea for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping smiled and didn't say anything.

Chen Ping actually heard what they talked about just now, and in his opinion, the two of them have their own views, and the angles are not bad.

None of them seem to be the best solution, though.

Refining, refining, after all, is also a kind of 'Tao'.

Everyone has their own way.

So I didn't say anything. It's just that he saw that fellow Daoist arguing just now, and even his eyes were red, and he was indeed a little bit sharp.

The two chatted for a while about their daily practice over the years.

At the end, Chen Ping asked:

"Do you know anything about the improvement of Jindan's cultivation speed in the later stage?"

Jia Zhongshu was stunned when he heard this:

"Chen Daoyou's late Jindan?"

"I was fortunate enough to enter the late stage of Jindan just now, but now I feel that my cultivation speed has slowed down suddenly, and I want to know if there are some means to improve." Chen Ping smiled.

Jia Zhongshu was originally a little surprised.

I remembered Chen Ping's wisdom when he killed the demon clan outside Tianhai City, and suddenly felt that this was very normal.

This Tianyin Immortal City is full of opportunities, maybe Chen Daoyou is lucky enough to get some opportunities.

But this is everyone's own secret, he just sighed in his heart and didn't ask too much.

"When it comes to ways to improve the cultivation speed of Jindan in the later stage, it is generally a secret that has not been passed on by the major sects, and there is no shortage of tricky methods, the effect is not easy to say, and some even have side effects, in exchange for the improvement of the realm at the expense of some other aspects of the monk, it is better to see the trade-off."

"However, the immortal cultivation realm has been operating for hundreds of millions of years, and naturally there are some widely recognized general methods, among which the most significant effect is the 'Yishen Pill'."

Sure enough, there is a suitable elixir.

There are no pills to sell in the shop.

"Where can I buy the 'Yishen Pill'?" Chen Ping asked.

Jia Zhongshu recalled for a moment:

"Do you know Yiliu Zhenjun from Alchemy Street?"

Seeing Chen Ping shaking his head, Jia Zhongshu introduced:

"If I'm not mistaken, Yiliu is really the only monk in this Tianyin Immortal City who is willing to openly sell the Yishen Pill."

"He can refine the Nine-Pattern Xuancang Yi Divine Pill. This Yishen Pill, the more lines, the better the effect, and the Nine Patterns Xuancang Yishen Pill he refined is a very great elixir. ”

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows: "How many spirit stones?" ”

"It is said to be one of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Chen Ping: Bitter eyebrows.

It's too expensive.

Is it the elixir itself that is expensive? Or is it because of the high price of Tianyin Immortal City?

Tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones at every turn.

"Expensive, right? I also think it's expensive, it's a special mother's, it's several times more than what I refine for others. But it is said that the orders there have been lined up for a hundred years. Jia Zhongshu was speechless and said:

"It is said that the raw materials of this elixir are extremely demanding, and the raw materials cost a lot of money. The key is that it may not be possible to buy it, and many high-end spiritual materials cannot be cultivated, only in the wild. Sometimes in order to make alchemy, you have to go to the secret realm to find medicinal materials by yourself. ”

"What's more, it is said that the success rate is extremely low, and with the time it takes to collect spiritual materials, even a Dan Dao genius like Yiliu Zhenjun sometimes takes nearly ten years to refine a single grain."

Hearing this, Chen Ping dispelled the idea of buying Yishen Pill.

It's too expensive.

Now there are about 30,000 high-grade spirit stones on his body.

I don't know how much time it will take to gather 100,000 spirit stones.

The point is to wait eighty years.

With this time, he had already survived the seventh layer of Jindan.

Later, Jia Zhongshu continued to introduce some other methods, most of which were not satisfactory.

Either you want to go out on an adventure, and you are taking a very big risk, such as going to the site of the fall of the immortals to feel the rhyme, etc., or you are going to find a rare treasure in a hundred years or a thousand years.

Chen Ping thought about it again and again and decided to develop slowly on his own.

A few decades later is a few decades later.

Jia Zhongshu sighed:

"After entering the late stage of Jindan, every step is difficult, not only the pill, not only the Yishen Pill that is needed now, and I don't know how many resources it will cost to go further in the future."

"Hey, just like me, it's a figure in the original sect, although the sect can't be compared with a big sect like the Tianyin Sect, but it also has a lot of resources."

"Let's just say this Yishen Pill, although no one can refine the Nine Patterns Yishen Pill, there are still three and four Yishen Pill sects. As a result, I came here and became a casual cultivator, and I had to fight for everything on my own. ”

"The problem is that a lot of resources can't be bought with money, and people don't open them to us at all. If you want to buy a Yishen Pill, you have to queue for hundreds of years. ”

"I don't want to do this now, I just hope that the original continent will be unsealed as soon as possible, and when the time comes, I can go back to the sect and use the resources of the sect to rush to the Yuanying realm, then thank God."

Chen Ping didn't say anything.

For him, it's the same everywhere.

On the contrary, if only from the perspective of the immortal cultivation environment, Tianyin Immortal City would be more suitable for him.

The resources here are expensive, but there are some good resources, such as the cyan heart demon introduction, which is not available in the Western Wilderness, but you only need money here to buy it.

And the environment is more stable.

But for a core disciple like Jia Zhongshu, who was originally a good sect, the identity of a casual cultivator made them a little confused.

"By the way, Chen Daoyou should have something else to do when he came here today, right?" Jia Zhong smiled.

Chen Ping nodded and said:

"I just went to Xu Liang's side and saw that he had already gone out. At that time, if Jia Daoyou sees him come back, he can be informed that he will come to me once, and some doubts about the spirit eagle and beast need to be discussed with him. ”

"Okay, make a note of it. However, Xu Daoyou is away all the year round, and he doesn't know when he will come back. Jia Zhongshu nodded.

“……”

Returning to his courtyard from Jiafu, since Chen Ping had decided to continue his penance, he devoted himself to cultivation again.

In this way, more than ten years have passed again.

Once again, several items of data on the panel have come a long way.

The life of cultivating immortals is so boring and full of fulfillment.

In addition to the improvement of cultivation, the Hundred Poison True Demon Skill has also made progress, the number of endogenous thunder in the body has increased again, and the current attack target has changed from 'tendons' to 'bones'.

The veins had been completely refined, and Chen Ping's greatest perception was that the flow of spiritual power, true element, and medicinal power in the veins had become faster.

If the previous rib vein was a 100 megabit network cable, now it has been upgraded to optical fiber.

Performance has been greatly improved.

Since he started attacking the bones, during the exercises, the bones had turned golden yellow due to the 'Taixu Refining Body Technique' in the foundation building period, but now they are constantly fading golden yellow.

It has now turned pale yellow and continues to fade.

this day.

The East Ten Fairies, who had disappeared for decades, reappeared in Chen Ping's humble mansion, still the same as before—dressed in a plain white robe with a white veil on his face.

The whole face is hidden in the white fog and cannot be seen clearly.

"I've heard from your master that you know some evil spells?" In the pavilion, the East Ten Fairies looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Xiyue even told this East Ten Fairy?

The relationship between the two is so good?

"I understand a little bit." Chen Ping said a word, and then said tentatively: "Did the senior of the East Ten and the family teacher often interact with each other before?" ”

Under the veil, there was no expression on the fairy's face.

The East Ten Fairies just looked at Chen Ping, she could actually sense that Chen Ping was defensive of her, or that Chen Ping had always been very defensive, even if he was an old friend of his master, he didn't fully open his heart.

She originally wanted to get close to Chen Ping and get to know Chen Ping through this relationship.

And now, she couldn't help but wonder if doing so would be the opposite?

She took out a box from her arms, her consciousness moved slightly, and the box floated out of her white palm and gently landed on the stone table in front of Chen Ping:

"This is a bead that I got by accident before, anyway, I use a lot, so I'll give it to you."

Beads?

Chen Ping looked up at the veiled woman in front of him.

Picked up the box and opened it to look at it, and there was a blood-red bead lying in the box, and a layer of hollowed-out jade sphere was wrapped around the bead.

A trace of evil qi was spilling out of the jade sphere.

The evil spirit is pure.

I've never heard of it, but at first glance, it's not a vulgar thing.

"Thank you to the senior of the East Ten, this kind of evil bead is indeed something that the younger generation needs at the moment. Since the seniors don't need it, the juniors will accept it. Chen Ping picked up the box and said:

"But if it is useless, the seniors will estimate the price of it, and the juniors will buy it at the price, and they can't cause losses to the seniors in vain."

The air fell silent.

"Do you really want to buy it?" The East Ten Fairies looked at Chen Ping in a cold tone.

"Naturally, yes." Chen Ping smiled:

"The seniors may not know that there are not many places where the juniors use spirit stones on weekdays, and there are still a lot of spirit stone reserves."

"200,000 high-grade spirit stones." Dong Shi said lightly.

Chen Ping was about to retract the box into the cuffs, but when he heard the words, his movements suddenly froze.

What's that?

So expensive?

What is the concept of 200,000 high-grade spirit stones?

"Ahh Chen Ping smiled awkwardly: "What, the junior suddenly thought that I bought some evil qi pills a few days ago, and I don't need this kind of evil beads for the time being." It's not a matter of spirit stones, seniors, please take it back. ”

Chen Ping pushed the box back.

What is it?

200,000 high-grade spirit stones? I can't even afford to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a nine-pattern Xuancang Yi Divine Pill for myself, how can I spend 200,000 yuan to raise three evil spirits?

When I arrived at Tianyin Immortal City, I found that the money was really worthless.

In the past, in the Western Wilderness, only Tianyan Sect had a tribulation tower, and there were only black and white demons in it. After arriving here, I found that there was actually a higher-grade cyan heart demon primer, and the price was as high as 10,000 high-grade spirit stones a month.

In the Western Wilderness, there was not even a Evil Qi Pill, and he had to run to the east of the distant Ethereal Continent.

Not to mention this kind of evil bead that is more than many times more advanced than the evil qi pill.

In a small place, there are not too many high-end goods, they are all low-level things, but I feel that my life is very nourishing.

Now that I have seen the flowers outside, I know that I am the wild boy who entered the city.

Chen Ping pushed the box back, but the East Ten Fairies didn't put it away, she just looked at Chen Ping quietly.

The box was placed on the stone table.

Chen Ping felt an invisible sense of oppression in the eyes of the East Ten Fairies, sneered, reached out to take the box back, and said:

"Then, the junior of the pearl accepted it. I owe the spirit stone first. ”

Seeing that the East Ten Fairies were still staring at him, Chen Ping said:

"Harm, say that if you buy it, you will get a share, since the seniors are friends of the family teacher, the younger generations will accept it generously. If the seniors will be useful in the future, even if they open their mouths, the younger generations will never shirk. ”

After a pause, he felt that this sentence was too full, after all, what he said now was also a promise, so he said:

"The juniors may not be able to help with this kind of thing, the juniors are too weak, don't hide it from the seniors, and the early Jindan monks can press me to the ground and beat me."

After a pause, remembering that he had been on Xiyue before, he continued:

"It's not suitable for the juniors to go to the secret realm to hunt for treasure or something, the juniors have a bad sense of direction, they can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and they are easy to get lost."

After a second, proceed:

"The younger generation is not good at fighting with people, and the younger generation has always been kind to people, and has never killed anyone, nor has he ever fought with anyone."

After that, go ahead and add:

"Don't look for juniors when attacking cities and forming alliances against enemies. Younger generations have social phobia, feel uncomfortable in contact with strangers, and like to be alone. ”

“.”

After a stick of incense, Chen Ping said:

"In short, none of the above dangerous things are suitable for younger generations. It's not that the younger generation is unwilling, and it's not that the younger generation is afraid. We monks are fighting with heaven and earth, what is there to be afraid of, right? ”

"The seniors can give such valuable property to the juniors, the seniors are the friends of the family teacher, and the juniors should be willing to go to the soup for the seniors at any cost. The main reason is that the strength of the juniors is too weak, and they are afraid of losing the face of their seniors. ”

The East Ten Fairies turned their heads, looked at the tulips in the courtyard, and said lightly:

"Anything else?"

"Both." Chen Ping has a good mind.

The East Ten Fairies looked at the tulips, not knowing what they were thinking, and only after a while did they look back at Chen Ping, and said in a slow voice:

"Do you want to lift my veil?"

Yes?

Chen Ping felt that his brain was not enough. Aren't you talking about repaying your kindness?

Why did you suddenly talk about the veil again?

And, what does it mean to ask yourself if you are interested in lifting his veil?

Chen Ping remembered what she had said about her disfigurement.
