Haoyu Zhenxian

Chapter 269 A Guest Enters the City (Big Chapter)
More than two years have passed since the defeat of Jin Zhaoheng, and the Star Broken Gate should breathe a sigh of relief.

As he expected, the next target of this sect must be the Haichang Chen family.

As for whether to salute first and then attack, or to attack directly, only the high-level members of the Broken Star Sect know.

It is undeniable that the Chen family, where monk Wuyuandan sits, is still on the extremely passive side.

"I don't know if Xing Linnian will bring me any surprises."

The corners of his eyes narrowed, and Chen Ping had a trace of sadness on his face.

The quality of spiritual roots is crucial to a monk.

Although the influence of spiritual roots will become weaker and weaker with the improvement of the realm, but before the Nascent Soul Realm, the gap between each rank of spiritual roots is particularly obvious.

Chen Ping had just advanced to Foundation Establishment Dzogchen, and with the cultivation speed of middle-grade spiritual roots, without four or fifty years of meditation practice, there was no way he could compress the liquid spiritual power in his body to the extreme, so as to hit Yuan Dan.

The Duhuosan that I made before was exhausted, and I only took Erdaowen's Jin Sui Yuan Wan, and the speed suddenly slowed down.

Therefore, Chen Ping privately told Xing Linnian to pay attention to the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old Hongling Golden Ginseng, and if there was any clue, he would take it down no matter what he did.

Of course, Chen Ping didn't have much hope, because the high-level resources in this sea area are too scarce.

Usually, at intervals of tens of years, the millennium elixir would only show up in a hurry, and would soon be snatched away by the major forces and refined into a elixir.

Therefore, Chen Ping, whose cultivation progress has dropped sharply, no longer concentrates on sitting in meditation.

The twelve hours of a day were strictly divided into three parts by him.

In the morning, I study swords and repair stones, in the afternoon I study puppet art, and in the evening I breathe and practice, get rid of erysipelas, and comprehend spells.

But after two years, little effect has been achieved in the way of swordsmanship, and there are treasures in hand, but there is still no clue.

However, the so-called east corner of the lost, the mulberry elm harvested.

The puppet art has made great progress. After a few years, you can try to refine puppets of the second-order low-grade.

Moreover, this time he advanced again, the eighth form of Qinglian Sixteen Sword Art, and the meridian route of Sword Shadow Tianlun was also opened up.

Sword Shadow Sky Wheel is a killing sword move.

Turning the green lotus into a wheel, sweeping away thousands of troops in an instant.

The attack of this sword style is strong enough to pose a real threat to the monks in the early Yuan Dan period.

Naturally, this is also due to the blessing of Chen Ping's previous life experience. At the beginning of enlightenment, Sword Shadow Sky Wheel was already in the state of Dacheng.

Lowering his figure, Chen Ping slowly came to the Pit of Fire.

Right now, among the members of the Chen family who are building foundations, the one with the most freedom is Chen Ping.

For this, he never felt ashamed.

His deliberate cultivation of influence was originally to serve his personal path.

Without the Chen family, he would have created another force.

If the road to immortality is compared to steps extending upward step by step, then anyone is just a gravel and tool for him to climb forward.

It's just that the crushed stones that make up the steps are different in size, and have different weights in his heart.

But a stone remains a stone, and a tool remains a tool.

……

The fire snake spewed out, like a stream of flowing magma sputtering out continuously.

In the four directions of the earth fire pit, southeast, northwest, there are respectively a foundation-building cultivator sitting upright.

Zeng Tingxuan, Yu Yuanliu, Chen Xingchao, Hui Qiuyan.

Several people made seals with their hands, and spiritual powers of various colors immediately poured into the huge pit below.

At this time, the ground fire was burning a piece of bluestone in the shape of a sole, covered with honeycomb-like black spots.

Even with the concerted efforts of a few Foundation Builders, supplemented by the source of the earth fire, the piece of bluestone showed no sign of melting, and the whole body remained unchanged.

Qingxuan Iron Essence is a third-order ore with a hard texture, and it is normal that it will not be able to perform meritorious deeds for a while.

What's more, Chen Ping prepared a full 46 catties of iron essence, and only melted more than ten catties in two years. It will take at least seven or eight years.

Chen Ping stood aside with his hands behind his back. After a while, Yu Yuanliu turned his head and gave him a difficult smile.

The rest of the people looked indifferent, as if deliberately ignoring his arrival.

Chen Ping was expressionless, and turned around calmly.

Zeng Tingxuan and the others were treated as coolies by him, so he must have anger in his heart, and he was too lazy to care about it.

As long as the tasks are completed on time, everything is fine.

After all, the arrangement of two months of smelting and three days of rest, even if Chen Ping thought about it himself, his scalp tingled for a while.

"Master Supervisor is so leisurely, why did you come here to express condolences to us?"

Seeing Chen Ping calmly stopped to watch, Hui Qiuyan couldn't help being angry, and sneered coldly.

"Supervisor?"

Chen Ping grinned, and said with a smile: "Where is the fifth elder, refining the spirit weapon is to strengthen the heritage of the clan, and every clansman should be obliged to do so."

"Besides, this elder is in charge of the Extreme Intent Thunder Formation, and it's not as easy as you imagine."

"Humph!"

Hui Qiuyan's face changed, and she tried her best to suppress her emotions and stopped talking.

She had a strong premonition that if the person in front of her was really pissed off, the Thunderbolt Array above might be more than just a decoration.

Seeing her calm down, Chen Ping looked around with a smile on his face, and then walked down the mountain leisurely.

It's fine for this woman to complain in her heart, if she dares to take action, she will definitely let her taste the taste of thunder and thunder.

……

"Seventh Elder, that's probably it. Where exactly is the Rift Valley and Abyss, the Internal Affairs Hall does not know for the time being."

In a courtyard with singing birds and fragrant flowers somewhere in New Moon Valley, Chen Qiudong was making tea for Chen Ping while preaching softly.

"The Rift Valley Abyss is tens of thousands of miles away from Haichang, and it was an accidental change in the world more than 100 years ago. The family has not collected information. I don't blame you."

Chen Ping waved his hand and said lightly.

In the past few years, he has assigned a task to the Internal Affairs Hall to fully investigate the disappearance of all members of the Meng family.

And Chen Qiudong didn't disappoint him, he did a lot of research and found out.

By connecting all kinds of clues, the Meng family's strange disappearance is suspected to be the hands and feet of Chi Xiaozong.

Of course, Chen Ping knew everything in his heart.

The ones who instigated the Scarlet Heaven Sect were actually Lanyue Sect and Jianding Sect.

In addition, Chen Qiudong got a more important piece of information.

The three contemporary Yuandan elders of Chixiaozong are Gu Yangtong in the early Yuandan period, and Ma Gongjue and Pang Taizhen in the middle period.

The latter two Supreme Elders with higher cultivation bases have been transferred away from the mainland by Lanyue Sect, and went to a place called "Rift Valley Abyss".

At present, there is only one Yuandan monk left on Mingji Island, Gu Yangtong.

From this, Chen Ping guessed that Lanyuezong's move was because the Meng family angered Chi Xiao and asked him to send elites to continue hunting down Ding Hongyou.

Ding Hongyou is not dead!
Chen Ping was very annoyed, the two major Jindan sects made a move, and they let him escape, it really annoyed him.

"Elder Seven, the Internal Affairs Hall has recently discovered a good seedling."

Looking at Chen Ping's face, Chen Qiudong said excitedly.

"Is it a good seedling who cultivates the Tao?"

Chen Ping said perfunctorily, looking not very interested.

"The seventh elder misunderstood, that person is only a middle-grade spiritual root, but his talent in talisman is the strongest monk I have ever seen, and I am afraid that even the second elder is inferior to him."

When Chen Munian was mentioned, Chen Qiudong's tone slowed down a little, and he praised him.

"Oh?"

Chen Ping's heart moved, and he asked, "Where did that person come from?"

Chen Munian is proficient in talisman, and it is easy to draw a second-level low-grade talisman. Occasionally, he is lucky enough to draw a second-level middle-grade talisman.

Therefore, no one in the Chen family can match his talent for drawing talismans.

But Chen Qiudong is a steady person, so he probably won't talk nonsense.

"His name is Sun Tong. He is a casual cultivator. He is over thirty years old. He was born on Hengshan Island, a mortal island under the family's command."

"More than ten years ago, he moved to Haichang Island to practice."

"Sun Boy went to New Moon Valley to sell resources for the first time, and he took out dozens of first-level medium-grade talismans at once."

"Coincidentally, I was checking the accounts at the shop at the time, and after chatting for a while, I learned that these talismans were actually drawn by him himself. I saw that he possessed superb little skills, and I wanted to make friends with him, so I raised the purchase price a little. "

"Afterwards, he came to the pavilion for the second time and traded with me a few top-grade talismans."

"I have done business a few times like this, and Sun Xiaozi also trusts me. If you plan to sell the talismans in exchange for cultivation resources in recent years, you will definitely go to the House of Internal Affairs to find me."

"At the end of last month, he came to me to exchange the spirit stone again, and he actually used a second-level low-grade lightning-strengthening talisman."

"Because I was shocked, I followed his words calmly, that Zhang Yanlei Talisman was really drawn by him!"

"Boy Sun is only in his thirties. Drawing a second-level talisman with the eighth level of Qi training is too shocking."

After talking a lot in an orderly manner, the admiration on Chen Qiudong's face never diminished by half.

After hearing him finish speaking in one breath, Chen Ping thought about it calmly.

As for Sun Tong's hometown Hengshan Island, he stayed there for a few days.

At the beginning, Tao Tianqi was slaughtered by casting Mo Luo's forbidden spell, and he hid on this island for half a month to deal with the backlash of the forbidden spell.

"You didn't lure him into my Chen family?"

Frowning, Chen Ping asked.

A monk who is proficient in a certain path is a talent that the family is in short supply, and it is not impossible to pay more to win over.

Chen Qiudong's eyelids twitched, and he quickly explained: "Of course I mentioned it, and I deliberately explained to him the generous treatment of the worship hall, but Sun Xiaozi never gave me a clear reply."

"Qiudong revealed this matter to me because he hoped that this elder would use strong means to pull him into the family, right?"

Chen Ping glared at him and said angrily.

"hey-hey……"

Chen Qiudong scratched his head and coughed a few times, then apologized with a trembling smile: "The Seventh Elder has a noble status, and he will definitely be able to shock the young and energetic grandson. As long as he agrees in a heartbeat, wouldn't my Chen family have another one?" Lord of the humerus."

"I don't always like to force people. In short, whether to join the family depends mainly on his own wishes."

With a wave of his sleeves, Chen Ping joked and said, "Qiu Dong, lead the way and meet that daring little guy who has repeatedly rejected the kindness of my acting patriarch of the Chen family."

The corner of his mouth twitched hard, and he finally filtered out Chen Ping's first sentence. Chen Qiudong clarified helplessly: "The Seventh Elder's words really pissed me off. It's just a bunch of talkative people talking nonsense."

Since the patriarch Chen Tong and a group of elders who established the foundation were arranged by Chen Ping to other places, except for the worship hall, he temporarily took care of the family affairs.

Ever since, some good-natured people secretly assigned him the status of "acting patriarch".

What's more, the purpose is not pure, and secretly fabricated a sentence that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The general idea is that Chen Tong is not liked by the Seventh Elder, and he is already planning to promote him, making him the next patriarch with a legitimate name.

However, while Chen Qiudong was terrified, there was an indescribable expectation deep in his heart.

The Seventh Elder who is in power thinks highly of him, and his son-in-law is a foundation-building monk in the family's worship hall.

Over the years, his status has risen, and he has left the other deacons far behind.

Is there really a day when you can realize your childhood expectations?
"Qiu Dong, are you still leaving?"

Chen Ping tilted his head slightly, and said lightly.

"Okay, okay."

Chen Qiudong's expression froze, and he immediately extinguished the wild thoughts.

……

Haichang City is divided into two areas, inside and outside.

The outer city, which occupies a relatively large area, is the residence of casual cultivators and mortals.

According to accurate statistics, as of last year, there have been more than 450 casual cultivators who have settled in the outer city for a long time.

Compared with 20 years ago, the number has doubled.

This is closely related to the continuous emergence of Chen Family Foundation Establishment monks.

The vast deep sea has never been the territory of the human race.

The areas where practitioners depend for survival are islands of various sizes.

The more high-level beings stationed on the island, the more guaranteed the safety of life.

Today, the dozen or so foundation-building cultivators on Haichang Island are like a gigantic lighthouse, constantly attracting casual cultivators thousands of miles away.

"In autumn and winter, what is the price of an ordinary house in Haichang City?"

On the street, Chen Ping was walking unhurriedly, and suddenly asked.

"Two thousand spiritual stones per mu in the inner city, five hundred in the outer city."

Chen Qiudong obviously understood this kind of problem very well, almost blurting it out.

Chen Ping nodded, and commented briefly: "It's reasonable."

I still remember that Bi Danting, the guide of Jinrui Island, once introduced to him that the houses covering an area of ​​half an acre in the inner city were all close to Wanlingshi.

It seems that the difference in the level of cultivation between the two islands is not small, and the housing prices are not hot enough.

"As the family grows stronger, more and more monks will come to settle in Haichang."

Chen Qiudong raised his head and said, with a strong pride on his face.

"In the future, the family will hold regular auctions every once in a while, and hold a special event to attract monks from nearby sea areas to participate."

"And the capacity of New Moon Valley is too small, it's time to expand into a junior square city."

Chen Ping laughed loudly, and said meaningfully: "Qiu Dong, you can buy a few well-located courtyards and shops for storage."

"what?"

Chen Qiudong was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Thank you for your guidance, Seventh Elder."

"Well, it can't be too much, so as not to disturb the market."

Chen Ping spoke in a leisurely manner, his face suddenly sank, and his eyes shot to the eastern sky one after another.

"boom"

"boom"

Just listen to the sky over there, rumbling loudly.

A brown cloud with a width of hundreds of feet was pressing towards Haichang City at the speed of thunder and lightning. The green light curtain rolled continuously in the cloud, and the clear sky suddenly changed color.

"Small spirit ship?"

Chen Ping swept away with his divine sense, his originally gentle eyes suddenly narrowed, and a ghastly voice rolled out from his throat.

I saw a [-]-foot-long brown spirit ship wrapped under the rapidly approaching cloud.

At the bow and stern of the ship, four pairs of giant plantain-like wings spread out, and as they swayed up and down regularly, a violent breath swept through them, stirring up the wind and clouds, and rushed towards Haichang City.

　Thank you for the reward of 1500 dots from Papa Tiger’s house and 1500 dots from Banxia Chenguangxi
