There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 873 Another 'Wood Spirit Origin'

Wang Ping looked at Master Xiaoshan and asked directly what was on his mind: "Has my existence appeared in the future that you have been peeping into?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xiaoshan was confused for a moment, then remained silent for a long time before he said in an uncertain tone: "I only know this matter. The specific memory was deleted when my consciousness merged with Huishan's, because after our consciousness merged, the memory was shared!"

Wang Ping's eyes flashed, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​using the 'Heavenly Eye' to observe Master Xiaoshan. However, the next moment he forcibly suppressed this idea with his cultivation, and then directly deleted it.

After explaining, Master Xiaoshan reminded him, "With your current cultivation level, you can definitely enter the Misty Sea. As the successor of Qianmu Temple, Yuxiao can choose not to see anyone, but he will definitely see you. However, my knowledge of this matter is equivalent to Huishan also knowing it, and he has been looking for Yuxiao."

"However, you don't have to worry too much. He has my thoughts in his mind, so he will definitely not kill you. But if Yuxiao senses Huishan's aura, he will not show up. It all depends on your chance and luck."

Wang Ping thought for a moment and asked, "What does Huishan Zhenjun want to do with Master Yuxiao?"

"He also wants to know what Yuxiao saw back then."

"I thought he wanted revenge!" Yu Lian's voice sounded softly.

Lord Xiaoshan looked at Yulian who was hiding behind Wang Ping, and smiled slightly. However, his smile only lasted for a moment, which made his expression look a little weird. Then he said, "Huishan has no hatred towards Yuxiao. What happened back then was just a difference of ideas. Even if there was hatred, it was covered by the chaotic consciousness of his memory."

"Okay, my time is up. You continue to call my name. This will not only help stabilize my humanity, but also help stabilize Huishan's humanity..."

Before he could finish his words, the fantasy space constructed by Wang Ping's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shattered.

Wang Ping immediately felt the cool feeling of the sea breeze on his face, and then he felt the touch in the palm of his left hand. He lowered his head and stretched out his left hand, and saw a 'Wood Spirit Origin' shining with a green halo, but there seemed to be some impurities in the fine lines on the surface of this Wood Spirit Origin.

Yu Lian, who was lying on Wang Ping's shoulder, stared at the Wood Spirit Origin and said, "This Wood Spirit Origin has a little pollution, which seems to be the result of the Wood Spirit's mutation."

Wang Ping could naturally see clearly that under the "Spiritual Vision Technique", this "Wood Spirit Origin" had many necrotic wood spirit particles, but they were integrated with the entire "Wood Spirit Origin", so it was not easy to remove them.

"Why didn't Xiaoshan tell you in advance?" Yu Lian was alert.

"There was something wrong with his condition to begin with. Perhaps he subconsciously blocked the idea that there was something wrong with the 'Wood Spirit Origin'." Wang Ping recalled the condition of Master Xiaoshan just now. He looked no different from before, but he looked very inconsistent, but he couldn't tell what was inconsistent.

"What should we do now?" Yu Lian asked.

The illusory figure of 'Xinghai' appeared. He first looked up at the dark clouds in the south, and then said: "If I purify it, I will completely assimilate it. It will be useless for you to hold it. According to my experience, this thing can be purified by Jin Xiu."

Wang Ping's eyes lit up. According to the characteristics of the Five Elements, it was really possible for a metal cultivator to clean up the internal pollution. However, it was simply impossible for an ordinary metal cultivator to do this. The first person he thought of was Kaiyun.

"Go find Monk Kaiyun?" Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping, and she also thought of Kaiyun.

"That's the only way at the moment, but I think he will definitely ask for a lot." The image of Kering emerged in Wang Ping's mind. He hated dealing with Kering the most because this old monk always liked to play tricks on people.

"When are you going? Now?"

Yu Lian asked again.

Wang Ping shook his head, then nodded.

The 'Origin of the Wood Spirit' is related to his cultivation, so this problem must be solved as soon as possible. However, it would be too high-profile for him to meet Kaiyun in person, which would be detrimental to the current situation.

But he really didn't have anything important to do at the moment, so it was necessary for him to meet with Kering, but he had to think carefully about the meeting place.

After figuring it out, Wang Ping first glanced at the altar that was still in operation, put away the "Wood Spirit Origin" in his hand, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the old locust tree in the front yard. Then he controlled the puppets of Zhonghui City and contacted the secret base of Vajra Temple in Zhonghui City.

It is called a secret base, but that is only for ordinary monks. Wang Ping can see through it at a glance, and Vajra Temple has no intention of hiding it from Wang Ping. The previous few visits were made by monks from this secret base.

A few months later, on the second day after Jiang Cun jumped out of the sea for the fourth time and was struck into the seabed by thunder again, Wang Ping finally contacted Kaiyun who was in seclusion. He was still in outer space at this moment.

After another half a month of communication, the two agreed to meet at a starry sky near the moon. The specific location was determined in advance by Wang Ping.

So, Wang Ping took Yu Lian and left Qianmu Temple quietly. He did not directly pass through the magic circle arranged by the True Lords in the atmosphere, but used the transfer magic circle to first reach the collection point of the energy crystals that he and the Zhenyang Sect had opened up in outer space.

More than ten hours later.

Wang Ping came to a silent starry sky tens of thousands of kilometers away from the moon's base. He thought this place was good, so he gave Kaiyun a coordinate of the starry sky near him.

The next step was to wait, so Wang Ping set up auspicious clouds and entered into a state of meditation, while Yu Lian constructed a water spirit formation, constantly attracting spiritual creatures in the nearby starry sky to absorb the pure spiritual energy in their bodies.

More than six hours passed in a flash, and the transfer formation Wang Ping had set up in this starry sky sensed the faint breath emitted by Kaiyun.

Kaiyun was very cautious. Perhaps he was afraid that Wang Ping would turn against him and join forces with Ao Yi to ambush him. After sensing that Wang Ping had moved the magic circle, he just wandered around the starry sky outside the magic circle, looking for Wang Ping's trace, but did not rashly enter the magic circle.

Wang Ping first used a farther transfer array to monitor whether Kaiyun had brought other people with him. After confirming that there was no tail behind Kaiyun, he used the transfer array to guide Kaiyun to fly towards him.

"Are you two tired?" Yu Lian felt a little tired after observing the movements of the two, but she did not release her aura without permission to let Kaiyun fly over directly.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wang Ping saw Kaiyun's figure, and Kaiyun's expressionless face suddenly showed a warm smile. With a peaceful golden light flashing, he appeared ten feet away from Wang Ping, clasped his fists and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, and Fellow Daoist Changqing has made great progress in his cultivation. I'm afraid that next time we meet, you will have reached the fourth level of perfection, right?"

"I should be the one to say this to you, Daoist. I'm afraid you are only one step away from reaching the fourth level of perfection, right?" Wang Ping said, cupping his hands. "You have been keeping a low profile these years, portraying yourself as an old man in his twilight years, and you almost fooled everyone."

"One step away can be a chasm. With your current cultivation level, you should be able to understand that, right?" Kaiyun shook his head with some regret. Wang Ping continued with Kaiyun's words, "That's right. To be honest, I came to you this time because I wanted to trouble you with something about your cultivation level."

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you just say it clearly? I will never refuse any help I can give."

Kering was very generous.

Wang Ping saw that Kering was about to donate generously. If one did not know his character, he would really believe it. But at this moment, he really needed a favor, and Kering was his only choice, so he did not act too pretentiously and directly took out the contaminated 'Wood Spirit Origin'.

Kaiyun's attention was immediately attracted by the 'Wood Spirit Origin', and the green-blue light emitted by the 'Wood Spirit Origin' illuminated his entire face green, which made his expression look a little gloomy.

"Good stuff, you are truly blessed. With the help of this 'Wood Spirit Origin', your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds."

Kaiyun said with a smile, and added with emphasis: "I suddenly feel confident in sealing Ao Yi."

The True Lords almost put all the responsibility of sealing Ao Yi on him, which put a lot of pressure on him. He was thinking about this matter all the time in his mind.

After Kaiyun finished his play, Wang Ping gathered a ball of wood spirit energy with his right hand and injected it into the 'Wood Spirit Origin'. Immediately, a polluted aura spread out. "It's polluted, so I came to find you, Taoist friend, to see if you have a way to dispel its pollution."

Kaiyun asked curiously: "How could the polluted 'Wood Spirit Origin' be condensed? The probability of it being polluted is very low."

Wang Ping met Kering's inquiring gaze and asked, "Can you purify its pollution?"

Kaiyun then turned his gaze to the Wood Spirit Origin again, and did not continue to dwell on the previous topic, saying: "Theoretically, it is possible, but this thing is a delicate job, and it will waste a lot of my time, and I don't have much time to waste now, because Ao Yi will not give me too much time."

Yu Lian couldn't help but say: "That's why we came to you, otherwise we can purify it slowly."

What she meant was that if you want to seal Ao Yi, you can't do it by yourself.

Kaiyun was such a smart person that he could understand Yulian's meaning, so he said, "Ao Yi is extraordinary. If I can't perfect the fourth realm, I won't even have the courage to stand in front of him. How about this, fellow Daoist, help me capture the four realms of true spirits that we agreed on before, and I will help you purify this 'Wood Spirit Origin', how do you think?"

“Are you planning to reach perfection by absorbing the power of the true spirit?” Yu Lian looked at Kai Yun in shock.

"Yes, I am only one step away from the final step, but I still cannot make it. There are too many useless efforts when absorbing spiritual energy. If there is enough time, I can use the spiritual gathering arrays currently set up by the Vajra Temple in various places in outer space, and perhaps I can make it through the final step within two hundred years. But if I use this time to help you purify the 'Wood Spirit Origin', there will not be enough time."

Kaiyun kept talking about his time, as if Wang Ping owed him a big favor.

Wang Ping handed over the Wood Spirit Origin in his hand, "Then let's do this. When you purify the Wood Spirit Origin, I will help you capture the True Spirit. Also, all the preliminary preparations are your responsibility."

Kaiyun stretched out his hand and was about to take it when Yulian suddenly said, "This thing is hard to find. Don't tell us that you lost it, or I will turn your Vajra Temple upside down. If you can't seal Ao Yi successfully, you will go and explain to the other True Lords yourself."

"Don't worry, my two Taoist friends. Give me sixty years of time, and I will definitely evolve away the pollution inside it!"

Kaiyun did not show any sign of anger, and made a promise: "If it is lost, I will definitely compensate you with a treasure of equal value."

Wang Ping said softly, "I hope you can keep your promise."

Kaiyun is in a very bad situation now. He has almost no allies around him, but he bears the heavy responsibility of sealing Ao Yi. From his past experiences, we can see that although he is selfish, he can sort out the importance of things at critical moments.

That's why Wang Ping came to him for cooperation. If it was Cang Ji, he would not come.

"Don't worry, my friend. Since you trust me, I will never let you down."

Kering took the 'Origin of the Wood Spirit' and promised again, then took out a golden box, opened it, and put the 'Origin of the Wood Spirit' in it.

Wang Ping naturally wanted to show off, so he cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave everything to you, Taoist friend."

Kaiyun nodded and continued, "Ao Yi may completely control Xizhou next, and then he will definitely establish an organization similar to the Taoist Palace in Xizhou, and then all Shinto beliefs will make way for him..."

"I won't take the initiative unless the Vajra Temple takes responsibility first!"

Wang Ping breaks off Duan Yun.

Kaiyun stared at Wang Ping for a few breaths and said, "As the saying goes, those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few. Ao Yi is so tough, and sooner or later he will touch the bottom line of other sects. My Vajra Temple can tolerate it, but others may not be able to. Now that the Zhenyang Sect has not come out, Xuanmen and Tianmen are watching you, waiting for you to do them justice!"

Wang Ping did not show any joy because Kaiyun raised his status, but Kaiyun was not wrong. In recent years, Taiyan Sect has been very good at networking, and a large part of the network of relationships it has built is due to its own strength. If he was really timid about the key matter of Ao Yi, it would definitely cause the cultivators from all sides to become alienated.

"You old monk, you hide when you have something to do. Is it possible to hide? Do you know why you are annoying? This is why you are annoying. If you hide again this time, no one will support you if you want to learn from Taoist Zhenyang and Taoist Xuanqing in the future!"

Yu Lian responded directly.

Kaiyun was stunned for a moment after hearing what Yulian said, and then responded seriously: "Daoyou Yulian, you are joking. I have limited talent, how dare I dream of a noble position."

After that, he clasped his fists towards Wang Ping and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave. I will contact you as soon as I finish purifying this 'Wood Spirit Origin'."

Wang Ping also clasped his fists and said politely, "Thank you for your concern, fellow Taoist."

Kaiyun said no more words, and then turned into a stream of light and flew quickly into the nearby starry sky. After more than ten breaths, he activated a teleportation array and disappeared into the starry sky as the space was constantly torn apart.

Wang Ping first gently stroked Yu Lian's little head, then put away the transfer array arranged in the surrounding space, and then disappeared silently into the void.
