I will survive with proficiency

Cloud City VS Chishi City.

Crane City VS Luoyue City.

Next, the parties introduced their respective monks.

"Huh? It's written on the roster that there was a second-floor foundation builder named Shi Chensheng in Chishi City who went to battle?" Chen Ping was slightly taken aback when he heard the names of the opponents in Chishi City.

Jing Hongping said softly:

"I heard about it as soon as I came here today. It is said that it is a temporary change. But I don't know the reason."

Jing Hongping is a person who will play, and he always pays attention to the changes of potential opponents.

Chen Ping didn't pay so much attention.

But he was just curious, it had nothing to do with him.

He's just a melon eater.

In the second half of the banquet, many people left their seats and chatted with each other.

"Chen Daoyou. In the next season, I have heard for a long time that there is a new guest in Yunzhongcheng, and I have been thinking about visiting Chen Daoyou. But I live outside the city, and I have not seen it. It is really rude." When they chatted lively , Ji Yan came over with a wine cup.

Chen Ping quickly picked up the wine glass to return the gift:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you're being polite. I'm here for the first time, so I'm supposed to visit fellow Daoist. But I've never been to Ling Xiaozong, so I've delayed my stay."

"..."

Maybe it's because they successfully walked into the inner city from Yunzhongcheng Zhongcheng's foundation building, and the two have quite a common language.

Ji Yan asked about Chen Ping's past.

He also talked about his own past.

Although Ji Yan is nominally the guest minister of Yunzhongcheng.

But most of the time he was on duty in Lingxiaozong, and served as a teacher for some outer disciples. He seldom went out of the mountain and lived in seclusion.

"After a while, I also want to ask for instructions to go back to Yunzhong City. It may not be a good thing for me to wait for casual cultivation in Lingxiaozong. Every step is like walking on thin ice. And good tasks have already been taken away by others. The remaining tasks are not good. It's difficult, even if there are few resources, it's not easy." Ji Yan complained secretly.

Ji Yan Tianzi is not too outstanding.

Coupled with the relative lack of resources as a casual cultivator, he did not build his foundation until he was in his seventies.

He has established the foundation for more than 20 years, and he is still on the second floor of the foundation.

Not too well.

"This time, if Fellow Daoist Ji can win the competition of the four tripods, there will be a lot of resources to gain, right?" Chen Ping said indifferently, the competition is also a task.

In fact.

Whether the task is good or not, and whether it is difficult or not, has little to do with Chen Ping.

He doesn't care much about that.

Ji Yan pondered:

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to win. Although Daoyou Yin in Chishi City is also on the second floor of foundation building, he has mastered the art of magic. Alas, I can only blame me for being too arrogant at the beginning. I chose the secret of Qingmang Sword Art as soon as I came up." technique."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment:

"Is there a problem with this spell?"

Ji Yan looked at Chen Ping with complicated eyes and said:

"Could it be that Chen Daoyou also practiced this secret technique?"

"Yes." Chen Ping didn't hide anything.

Hearing this, the muscles on Ji Yan's face seemed to relax a little, it was a relaxed expression. There was a joy in his eyes, it was a joy to see someone of the same kind.

...It turns out that I am not alone in my misfortune... Ji Yan feels that he has been comforted.

But then he restrained his expression and realized that this was not good.

Ji Yan said seriously:

"Oh, it's such a pity."

"A few years ago, when I was practicing with a fellow daoist at Ling Xiaozong, I was found out that I was practicing the Qingmang Sword Art. The fellow daoist was shocked, so I asked curiously. If I don't ask, I don't know. It turns out that this secret art is extremely difficult, difficult to understand, and extremely difficult to master. Youdao was created by an immortal, but it is a pity that the immortal has died before he can perfect and simplify this secret art."

"In Lingxiaozong, almost no one is willing to practice. This is why Lingxiaozong is willing to distribute this powerful secret technique to the major cities of cultivating immortals. It only needs three simple cards to exchange."

"Oh, what a pity."

"Before now, I have been holding back and refused to reveal it, but it was too late when I found out."

"Before that, I always thought that I was not talented enough to learn so slowly. It turned out to be related to the secret technique itself."

It was the first time Chen Ping heard such a statement.

He himself was really not fast at the beginning, and it took more than five years to practice to the master level when he focused on conquering this spell.

If it was other spells, I'm afraid it would have been Dzogchen long ago.

At the beginning, it was only because the secret technique itself was difficult to practice.

Never thought there was such a saying.

But for him, although it was slower than other spells, he didn't encounter any bottlenecks in the process of cultivation, and he made progress every day at the slow speed of the old cow.

In less than six years, he reached the master level.

For other monks, this speed can only be astonishing.

Seeing that Chen Ping was thinking, Ji Yan thought that Chen Ping was annoyed. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Chen Ping, and on the other hand, he felt a sense of relief that "I am not alone".

After a pause, he said:

"Since I found out about this, I have been very upset. But I am unwilling to give up. After all, I have been practicing for fifteen or sixteen years. Alas, it seems that it is difficult to continue practicing. To tell you the truth, I can only do it now." Summoned 96 sword lights. Alas, I'm afraid I have to bear the pain and give up my love, and change to an offensive secret technique to practice."

96 sword lights, almost "proficient" at the beginner level.

Higher-level spells or mysteries are difficult to repair.

time consuming.

That's why.

A foundation-building monk usually only learns one or two offensive (defensive) secret arts during his entire foundation-building career.

Seek refinement but not excess.

It is true that it was a waste of more than ten years to modify other secret techniques like Ji Yan halfway.

It is also a helpless move.

‘Oh, this secret technique is really difficult. '

Chen Ping counted, but he didn't expect to use it for nearly six years.

Six years of master realm.

this…

... is simply too slow.

Grandmaster for six years.

Alas, in the future, you must be careful when choosing a secret technique.

too slow.

Chen Ping sighed inwardly.

...

After the banquet, return to the guest room of the mansion.

Can't play Foundation Fury tonight.

It's a newcomer, so it's not easy to go to the Chunlou to play the chicken-beating wrath just to be on the safe side.

Nothing to say all night.

the next day.

The comparison of the four tripods will be held as scheduled.

It is located in a dojo in Midtown. The dojo is very large and can accommodate thousands of people.

The dojo has already been arranged in advance, with various utensils and various protective formations.

Every corner was full of defensive monks.

In the middle of the dojo, there is a 'Shengxian Terrace' with a radius of hundreds of feet, shrouded in formations.

That is the competition platform.

Yunzhong City is the same as the other Cultivating Immortal Cities. There are twenty or thirty people in each Cultivating Immortal City, and they sit in four directions of the dojo.

In addition, thousands of disciples from the inner city of Crane City and monks from the middle city who had obtained quotas ahead of time stood at specific positions, waiting with great excitement for the once-in-a-ten-year Grand Competition.

Observe the actual combat of foundation building.

It is of good value for monks in the Qi training period.

Sometimes, perhaps a certain level of cultivation that has been elusive all year round can be enlightened after watching an actual combat.

Such moments are extremely precious.

On a high platform in the dojo, the elder of Ling Xiaozong sat upright. Today, even a Jindan elder came to the scene in person.

This made a group of casual cultivators very excited.

Many people are seeing Jindan real person for the first time.

Or maybe this is the only chance in a lifetime.

Chen Ping was somewhat moved.

"Senior Chen, Lingshan feels that one day Senior Chen will also become a Golden Core cultivator." At some point, Yun Lingshan stood next to Chen Ping, and when she saw Chen Ping looking sideways at the Golden Core Elder, she said softly one time.

Chen Ping glanced at her and smiled:

"I think so too."

"???" Yun Lingshan was taken aback for a moment, suddenly felt that there was no way to continue.

He pursed his lips and smiled.

Shouldn't you be humble?
