Haoyu Zhenxian

Chapter 288 Have the courage to start
Haichang City, the hall of worship.

In the Zhengdong area, an exquisite courtyard covering an area of ​​[-] to [-] mu was built.

The courtyard is surrounded by stone walls, willows are hanging around, three porcelain flower gate towers, and hand-painted verandahs on all sides.

The corridors in the courtyard connect with each other and are decorated with mountains and rocks.

The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and the gardens are clustered and exquisite.

The backyard is full of roses and wood carvings, surrounded by blue pools, sparkling.

The huge pool is occupied by a group of monsters of different shapes.

At the entrance where the stream flows down, there is a green water turtle coiled around it, and there are several giant poisonous bees lying on the lotus leaves beside it.

In the most spacious center position, a white clam the size of a demon cow opened its mouth, lazily breathing with the waves, and spit out strings of crystal clear foam, as if enjoying the scorching sun.

"shhhhh"

With a melodious crisp cry, a crane more than one foot long and with a body wrapped in jade fell from the distant sky, which is really amazing.

Seeing the Bird Demon swooping in, the White Jade Clam Demon quickly closed the shells without a single gap, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"chirp"

The crystal-stepping crane licked its long beak on the solid hard shell, and suddenly suffered from pain. It spread its wings and flew back unhappy, with one foot suspended.

"It's interesting, this is a real battle between the crane and the clam."

On the bank of the pool, under the shade of a tree full of spirit peaches, there was a marble table. There were two people seated, a man and a woman. The one who spoke just now was a well-dressed male cultivator with a rather handsome face.

And while he was speaking, two more crystal-stepping cranes flew from outside the house and stepped into the pool, but their size was twice as small as the first one, and their aura was more than a little weaker.

"Sweet Potato has only recently advanced to the second level, and is far from being an opponent of Zhima in terms of strength. But Zhima is naturally timid and mild-tempered, so I let it bully me."

The woman in the purple palace skirt nestled on Qingshangren's chest, smiled slightly, and showed her elegance with every frown and movement, adding a bit of color to the courtyard scenery.

These two people are Chen Ping and his wife.

A few years ago, three crystal-stepping cranes named Bitter Gourd, Sweet Potato, and Pumpkin had a contest among the same clan. In the end, Sweet Potato won two games in a row and won the right to use Grandma Fan's corpse.

After half a year of devouring and digesting, Sweet Potato lived up to expectations and advanced to the early stage of the second level.

It's a pity that Yuan Dan's corpse is not as helpful to Ta Jinghe as the third-order monster, otherwise it would be okay to break through the middle stage in one fell swoop.

Due to domesticating two second-order spirit beasts, Xue Yun's overall strength has risen again.

However, even without the White Jade Clam Demon and Ta Jinghe, no one in the Chen family sea area would dare to show her face.

Because her man is monk Yuan Dan...

"Yun'er, have you found the trace of the evil cultivator on Ghost Tooth Island?"

Pushing away the woman in his arms slightly, Chen Ping asked seriously.

"The spies we sent did find some clues."

The disappointment in her eyes flashed away, and Xue Yun quickly replied: "One month ago, the people from Ghost Tooth Island were temporarily repairing on Tangchong Island, [-] miles north of Jinrui Island."

"But their thieves are very cautious. When the second wave of spies from the worship hall landed on Tangchong Island, there was no trace of the evil cultivator."

"Do you know how to be afraid when the backer is unreliable?"

Chen Ping sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said in a cold tone.

Ghost Tooth Island, a notorious evil cultivator.

When he broke into the late stage of foundation establishment, he planned to lead the army to eradicate him.

But unexpectedly, Ghost Tooth Island has already been recruited by the Jin family, secretly doing some shady things for Ni Xingzong.

Chen Ping had no choice but to give up for the time being because he was worried about the might of the Rebellious Star Sect.

With the support of the Jin family, in just over 20 years, Ghost Tooth Island has grown into the largest evil cultivator in the vicinity, bar none.

However, since Jinrui Island was besieged, the evil cultivator of Ghost Tooth Island was afraid of the revenge from the Broken Star Gate, and often would not stay in one place for a long time, and began to become elusive, hard to find.

"To deal with such cunning rats, don't send spies to inquire. They won't give you time to react."

He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then Chen Ping ordered: "Use my oral order, summon Chen Tong, Liu Daoxiao, Xue Zhengkong, and Chen Zhoukang, and order [-] priests to take the initiative to attack. Once you find the ghost tooth evil cultivator, immediately Kill them by surprise."

"By the way, bring Huang Yumin with you. In the early years, Huang's family called Guiyaxiexiu to destroy the whole family. She must have tried her best. Although this woman's cultivation base is only the ninth level of Qi training, she is proficient in puppet art and can effectively stop Xiao Luo. Let's escape."

"Yun'er takes the order."

Xue Yun nodded and said solemnly.

At the same time, she was somewhat nervous.

Because according to the latest information from the family, the leaders of the evil cultivators are four foundation cultivators.

The big boss, Qin Dong, has built a foundation of Dzogchen practice.

This person was originally the owner of the Green Demon Island, and after taking refuge in the Jin family, he was appointed as the banner bearer of the evil cultivators.

The other three are the old leaders of Ghost Tooth Island, one in the late foundation establishment period and two in the middle foundation establishment period.

Moreover, there are as many as three to 400 Qi Xixiu under the command of the four.

Even though he fled around in recent years, he still has more than a hundred hardcore followers.

This is the most powerful enemy since the establishment of the Enshrining Hall, and Xue Yun cannot allow Xue Yun to underestimate it.

"Be careful all the way."

Looking at the pool, Chen Ping said flatly.

Ghost Tooth Island's evil cultivators are not members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and the lineup that the Chen family sent this time is not a small risk.

Both Xue Zhengkong and Xue Yun are only in the early stage of foundation establishment, fighting alone, they can't win against any leader of evil cultivators.

But with the white jade clam monster and the crystal-stepping crane looting formation, compared to the overall combat power, the Chen family is still stable.

If Chen Ping himself or Chen Xiangwen led the team, even if they could take down Ghost Tooth Evil Cultivator unscathed, but in this way, the worship hall would lose its meaning of existence.

With the rapid expansion of the family business in the future, small frictions with major forces are inevitable, and it is impossible to return to the top combat power to resolve disputes.

What's more, adversity can stimulate the monk's potential and develop his talents.

"Yun'er will definitely not let a fish slip through the net. Hirao is waiting for my good news at the family."

Puffing her cheeks, Xue Yun said playfully.

"Remember not to be careless."

Chen Ping's eyes softened, and when the storage ring lit up, two light red talismans in the shape of maple leaves appeared. , you accept it."

These two talismans are both in the collection of Grandma Fan.

Now that he has advanced to the Yuan Dan realm, not to mention the second-level talismans, even the third-level low-level and middle-level talismans cannot bring him much blessing.

"Xie Pinglang rewards the treasure."

Xue Yun said happily, her two black eyebrows curved into newborn moon arcs.

"Your life is the most important."

Chen Ping frowned, and said leisurely: "Other than that, everything can be discarded."

"In addition, the harvest from the extermination of evil cultivators this time is four to six points for the enshrinement hall and the family."

"clear."

Xue Yun nodded slightly, with an expression of remembering.

Since the establishment of the worship hall, its finances have been independent and it is responsible for its own profits and losses.

Just like the proceeds from the siege of Feiyue Island last time, they were divided into two, and the enshrinement hall got about 15 spirit stones.

"You prepare the supplies for the expedition tonight, I will go first."

With that said, Chen Ping got up and stepped on a green lotus, and was about to fly away.

"Hiraro..."

Xue Yun opened her mouth to shout, then knelt down on her knees, her hair falling to the ground.

With a light sweep of his consciousness, Chen Ping didn't look back, and said in a soft voice: "Do you have something to ask?"

"Yun'er wants the follow-up practice of Tiansu Yunshui Jue."

Xue Yun raised her head and said calmly.

But watching her hands and fingers twisted into knots, she was obviously extremely disturbed.

In the sky, the figure was silent for a long time, and then said without emotion: "You are in power now, isn't it good to enjoy life? With your aptitude, if you continue to embark on the immortal way, the rewards will not be proportional to the rewards, even extremely exaggerated."

"I'm willing to work hard."

Xue Yun's shoulders trembled, and she said firmly, "Please Hirao."

"Ugh."

Chen Ping sighed slightly, and drove the light into the overlapping clouds.

"Unremitting efforts are necessary, but on the journey of cultivating immortals, no matter how much effort you put in, you may not be rewarded."

"But since you have the courage to start, I will give you another chance."

Chen Ping's words echoed in her ears, and the first half almost made her want to cry, but at a turning point, Xue Yun broke into tears and smiled, as if she had exhausted all her strength, her body softened and leaned against the peach tree.

"It's done."

Xue Yun exhaled deeply and clenched her fists tightly.

Gong Lingshan, the ancestor of Broken Star Sect, will come to Haichang to discuss important matters soon.

With the domineering character of the Taoist companion, he will definitely smash the star gate into pieces.

This is her last chance!

Therefore, even if making a request consumes Chen Ping's tolerance and love for her, he will not hesitate.

……

On the way back to Fuge Mountain, Chen Ping buried his head in his way, his brows frowning and then stretched, as if he was thinking about something.

"It is also a great pain in life to have resources but nowhere to spend them."

Chen Ping's heart moved, and he burst out laughing.

Xue Yun single-handedly supervised the Deacon Academy of the Hall of Enshrinement.

Looking at the layout of the courtyard, there are spiritual flowers and grasses everywhere, and the ground of the rockery is also made of ore.

Without the investment of [-] spirit stones, it would not be possible at all.

Xue Yun has been in charge of the enshrining hall for many years, but she has made a lot of money, and to put it bluntly, she has enriched her own pockets.

Chen Ping has been turning a blind eye to this.

Her worth should be extremely high, surpassing the general foundation establishment Dzogchen.

Apart from feeding spirit beasts and occasionally helping his younger brother Xue Yifei to practice, there is nowhere to use the extra spirit stones.

No wonder she had the idea of ​​going further.

It is indeed extremely difficult for a low-grade spiritual root to attain the Tao.

However, there is a shortcut to take, which is to spend resources like crazy.

Spend 30 to [-] spirit stones to cultivate to the peak of foundation building, and then find a high-level pattern of Qingxu Hualou Pill, or the next best thing, buy two drops of Zhenxia Secret Spring.

The whole process consumes 80 to [-] spirit stones, and the probability of [-] to [-]% is not too low.

If the net worth is rich, there may be a second chance to break the rank.

As long as he doesn't intervene, it is not impossible for Xue Yun to accumulate millions of spirit stones while he is at the helm of the worship hall.

"I hope you are doing well."

Chen Ping's pupils shrank, and he descended slowly on the top of the mountain.

His current bottom line for this woman is very low.

He can pretend not to be aware of taking power to make money, but if Xue Yun dares to hide and sell high-grade ore, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

After all, he has repeatedly told the senior officials of the Chen family that he must report to him as soon as possible if he finds any clues about high-grade ore.

Those who conceal and do not report, those who hide treasures privately, will be severely punished!

Similarly, anyone who voluntarily turns in high-grade ore will be rewarded, which is far more cost-effective than selling it outside.

Chen Ping felt that his sincerity was already in place, and believed that the senior members of the family would not choose the wrong path.

……

In the bright cave, Chen Ping and Chen Xiangwen sat cross-legged facing each other.

"How long is Ping'er planning to go out?"

Chen Xiangwen frowned, and said.

"I made an appointment with Gong Lingshan, and we will return to Haichang within March."

Chen Ping smiled, cupped his fists and said, "The family will ask Uncle Wen to take care of them."

Chen Xingchao, Chen Yiru, Xue Yun, Ye Mofan, Chen Tong and more than 20 Foundation Establishment cultivators are almost all out to expand the territory or perform missions.

The defense in the city is empty, and after he leaves, Chen Xiangwen, the only ancestor of Yuandan, must shoulder the burden of guarding Haichang.

Foundation Establishment monks are the mainstay of the family.

The number of foundations established by the Chen family seems to be quite a lot, but when used, they are actually quite stretched.

However, cultivating a master foundation builder can't be accomplished overnight.

Since the establishment of the worship hall, there has only been one Xinglin year.

It is conceivable that the difficulty of advancing to the ninth level of Qi training with ordinary background and background is no different from a hundred boat races.

"I don't know if that kid can advance."

Chen Ping's eyes flashed, and he remembered a piece of news that Chen Qiudong told him two days ago.

The enshrined hall, Sun Tong, is retreating to attack the foundation building environment.

This person's talent on the talisman path is extremely outstanding.

Before breaking into the Foundation Establishment, a second-level medium-grade color fan horizontal talisman was actually drawn.

Relying on his superb talisman refining skills, Sun Tong has made a lot of money these years.

And he was also willing to invest, and the Internal Affairs Hall followed suit by releasing a reward for Jidan.

One pattern, forty thousand!
Two lines, fifty-five thousand!
The so-called Qiancaitong ghosts and gods, under the temptation of far higher than the market price, he really bought a foundation building pill with one pattern.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping pressed the corners of his eyes speechlessly.

This black boy's ability to drive up prices is somewhat similar to his.

Having said that, with the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, the probability of Sun Tong breaking through the bottleneck is much higher.

"Ping'er, relax. With the third-level formation, I am confident that I can stop Yuan Dan from outside the city in the middle stage."

Chen Xiangwen looked calm, and suddenly changed his tone: "Ping'er, who is stronger or weaker between you and that Jin Zhaoheng?"

"Uncle Wen's question is a bit tricky."

Chen Ping rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It depends on the situation, assuming that he completely enters the realm of the unity of human and sword, my supernatural power is estimated to be on par with him at most."

"If not, within five moves, he will definitely die!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiangwen's expression was startled, and he murmured intermittently: "Your combat power is too... outrageous."

Jin Zhaoheng is no ordinary early Yuan Dan, it is common sense in the cultivation world that sword cultivators are one against two.

But according to Chen Ping's self-report, the current Jin Zhaoheng can't last a few breaths in his hands.

What level of power suppression is this?

Ordinary Yuandan late stage can't do it, right?
If Chen Xiangwen didn't know that Chen Ping was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

"Uncle Wen, the three Yuandans of the Chixiao Sect, I can block them with all my might."

After repeatedly savoring the content of Chen Ping's voice transmission to him in the meeting hall, Chen Xiangwen couldn't help but feel excited, and began to look forward to the grand plans and great achievements of the Chen family in Haichang.

……

The green waves are rippling, a thousand miles away.

On the sea, a white spiritual boat sailed smoothly.

Chen Ping stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, controlling the general direction of the ship with only a sliver of divine consciousness.

This is the fifth day he left Haichang Island.

He went out this time for more purposes, and the first stop was to kill a dark sky golden rose spider at the beginning of the third level.

　Thank you Liu Erluo for the reward of 12 dots!Thank you God for the reward of 1 points!Thank you two big guys!
