An Ordinary Path to Immortality

Fang Ping returned to the stone table again, picked up the teacup and offered tea to the old man: "Fang Ping thanks you for your guidance, I will offer you a cup of tea."

"No need to be polite, have you decided to open a cave here?" the old man asked.

"This place is remote, quiet, and the scenery is also good. There is also a spiritual spring to provide spiritual energy. I naturally like it." Fang Ping said: "I just don't know if you agree with me to open a cave here?"

The old man smiled and said: "This is not my home, I can't control you, and your opinion is not counted."

"After all, you have lived alone here for decades. If you don't want to, I will find another place and will never disturb you."

Fang Ping said sincerely, and naturally thought so in his heart.

"If I don't agree, you really won't come?" The old man looked playful.

"That's right, and I won't mention the secret of this place to a third person."

The old man had a bright smile on his face: "It's interesting, Luo Yun, Luo Yun, this disciple you accepted is really interesting." x33xs.com

Fang Ping smiled shyly and asked embarrassedly: "Senior, did you pursue my master when you were young? Well, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious."

"I knew you would ask this. It's okay to tell you. I was indeed one of Luo Yun's many pursuers back then. It's a pity that it's time and fate."

...

The two gradually began to chat. Perhaps because they hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, the old man talked to Fang Ping a lot about the time when he and Luo Yun just entered the sect.

Fang Ping just listened quietly, occasionally interrupting, and most of the time it was the old man who talked.

It was also at this time that Fang Ping knew that the old man was called Duan Chengzhou.

A few years after he entered the sect, his master went out for a while, and his soul seal was broken, and he never came back.

After his master died, his master's old rival, Liao Ming, who was also an elder of the Dan Hall, began to target him everywhere.

Until one day, he accidentally discovered that Liao Ming actually had a storage ring exactly like his master.

Although he did not make a fuss, let alone question the other party, Liao Ming seemed to have sensed that he was sent here to deal with waste pills and medicine residues.

At first, he was still dissatisfied, but over time, he gradually became open-minded and began to like this kind of secluded life like a wild crane.

Later, he found that the spiritual energy here began to slowly increase, and then he discovered the existence of the spiritual spring.

So he lived here even happier.

Especially in recent years, except for not digging out the spiritual spring, he has almost treated this place as a free cave that belongs to him completely.

Being able to stay alone in such an almost isolated place for decades, he has long been calm and has a state of mind that sees through the world and remains unmoved no matter how the outside world changes.

But Fang Ping's arrival today made him think differently.

"I can agree to your application for a cave residence here, but I have two conditions."

After chatting for a while, Duan Chengzhou finally got back to the point.

"Please give me your instructions, senior."

"First, no matter how long you apply for a cave residence and plan to live here, you must promise me to kill Liao Ming and avenge my master and me."

"Excuse me, senior, what is Liao Ming's current cultivation level?" Fang Ping asked.

"Middle stage of foundation building."

Fang Ping did not hesitate too much, thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, I agree."

"Think it over, that is a sect elder in the middle stage of foundation building." Duan Chengzhou asked in confusion: "You are a guy with five spiritual roots, but you agreed so readily. Are you trying to deceive me?"

Fang Ping said: "Although I only have five spiritual roots, I am confident that I can succeed in foundation building."

"Okay, I will believe you once, and there is another thing."

"Please tell me, senior."

"From now on, the waste pills and medicine residues here will be handled by you. I have been alone for too long and have lost my courage. In recent years, I have become more and more afraid and hate going out more and more."

Fang Ping was stunned. He had originally thought of taking over the job of handling the medicine residues in the name of gratitude to the other party.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually took the initiative to propose it, so Fang Ping naturally would not refuse.

"Of course, even if you don't say it, I will help you deal with these things."

"That's good, you can go to the Merit Courtyard to apply for a cave."

Fang Ping didn't stay for long, and said goodbye and went to the Merit Courtyard.

Just as Brother Huang said when Fang Ping and his friends first entered the Qiyun Sect and introduced the Merit Courtyard to them.

For a normal Qiyun Sect disciple, the place he goes to the most in the sect should be the Merit Courtyard.

According to the map, Fang Ping soon arrived at the Merit Courtyard.

As soon as he landed, he found that the Merit Courtyard was really lively.

Many disciples came and went, and there were even some foundation-building masters among them.

In the Merit Courtyard, there are seven or eight windows of different sizes, each with different functions.

There is a window for exchanging resources and merits.

There is a window for issuing tasks, a window for handing in tasks, and a window for caves.

There is also a special window for foundation building, and a special window for sect rewards and penalties.

Fang Ping walked along the way and found that there were still many disciples at the task window.

Whether it was the task handing in or receiving window, there were people queuing up.

As for the window related to the cave, it seemed relatively deserted. When he came over, there was only one person at the window talking to the people inside.

Fang Ping came and waited behind the other party, just in time to hear the conversation between the other party and the disciples of Gongde Academy inside the window.

"Senior brother, there are obviously not many people on Yuquan Peak, why can't I open up a residence on it?"

The disciple of Gongde Academy said: "Junior brother, the area of ​​Yuquan Peak is indeed large, and there are indeed not many disciples who have opened caves on it.

But the spiritual vein under Yuquan Peak is just a miniature spiritual vein, and it is extremely fragile.

If too many monks open caves near Yuquan Peak, they may cause damage to the spiritual veins and lose the opportunity to advance to lower-grade spiritual veins. "

"What about Huangye Valley? There are not many people there, and the underground spiritual vein is also a mature low-grade spiritual vein. Why is it not approved?"

"The location of Huangye Valley is a bit prominent, especially the location you chose. It is located on the outskirts of Huangye Valley. There is a mountain trail going up and down the mountain nearby. There are usually disciples hiking to enjoy the scenery, so the Huangye Valley you applied for The location cannot be passed."

"This won't work, that won't work either, what should I do?" the disciple asked angrily.

The disciple of Gongdeyuan was not angry either. He smiled and consoled him: "Junior brother, please don't be angry. The choice of cave is not that simple. You can walk more and look around more, and you will always find a cave that suits you."

"Forget it, I'll go take a look again."

After saying that, he left disappointed.

Fang Ping took two steps forward and before he could speak when he reached the window, the disciple inside the window spoke first:

"This junior brother is very friendly. Hey, are you a new outer disciple?"

Fang Ping said with a smile: "Senior brother, I have good eyesight. I have just started, and I was given some merits by my elders, so I am thinking about renting a cave."

"Junior brother, it seems that your elders are very kind to you. Give me the jade slip, and I will see how your chosen position is and whether I can approve it."

. You provide the master Yijie with a gentle and ordinary path to immortality.
