I will survive with proficiency

One day at the end of spring.

After discussing with Yun Haitang, Chen Ping finally decided to set out to gather herbs.

Before setting off, Chen Ping arranged more traps for the tunnels in the house, and told Yu Lingchun how to activate and bypass them one by one.

There are two sets of formations in the house, and a hidden tunnel.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you are not too rash, you will be fine.

"This time the medicine is collected in Qingyun Region, I will go and return quickly, and I will return in a few days at most. You should go out as little as possible." Chen Ping tugged at Yu Lingchun's ear.

"Don't worry, my lord. Have you brought all the evil-killing talisman, awakening pill, and miasma pill?" Yu Lingchun reminded.

At this time, Yu Lingchun's first concern was the safety of her husband, which made Chen Ping feel warm.

"I brought them all." Chen Ping smiled.

...

In the early morning, Chen Ping and Yun Haitang went out of the city in a low-key manner. There was no sword in the city, but they walked around randomly, like usual patrols.

Try not to be known by others that you are going out to collect medicine.

Ling Xiaozong did not limit the specific time for everyone to go out to collect herbs, and everyone can arrange it by themselves, which greatly facilitates the monks.

For example, Ji Yan, because of his injury the year before, has not fully recovered until now. Now is not the best time to travel, but it can be postponed to other seasons.

It is precisely because of this that everyone's travel time is inconsistent.

Concealed whereabouts, so as not to be ambushed or calculated by others.

Walking on the increasingly dilapidated streets, Chen Ping discovered that after experiencing a severe winter, the monks walking by passers-by became even more dazed, as if they had lost hope for life.

On the street and the houses on both sides, traces of fighting can be seen from time to time.

It records the cruelty of this city of cultivating immortals.

"Chen...Senior Chen."

When Chen Ping and Yun Haitang were walking on the same street, a voice came from the yard of a house.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, looking for his reputation, there was a nun standing in the yard.

Only then did he find out that it was Lu Zhengzhong's Taoist companion Mo Xuebi who lived next door to him when he first came to Yunzhong City more than ten years ago.

It's just that Mo Xuebi looks even more vicissitudes at this time.

The originally big and exaggerated breasts seemed to be smaller.

At this time, she was holding a bowl, obviously eating breakfast, but what she ate was no longer monster meat and Ling rice.

But some fruits and vegetables.

...Is today's casual cultivator living in such a difficult life? ...Chen Ping's heart tightened, and he asked:

"It's Fellow Daoist Mo. Where's your old Lu?"

"He... passed away half a year ago." Speaking of this, the light in Mo Xuebi's eyes disappeared half in an instant.

She then forced a smile:

"Half a year ago, I went out to gather medicine with other fellow Taoists, and I didn't come back. Maybe... Maybe I'm still alive."

Chen Ping nodded.

I haven't seen you for half a year, so what's the point of living?

It's no wonder that Mo Xuebi eats fruits and vegetables. In this world, men are superior to women. In a family, the man usually manages the money. If Lu Zhengzhong never comes back, the family's savings will naturally disappear.

These days, the price of goods is high, and the life of casual repairers is not easy.

"Maybe I'll be back sometime." Chen Ping forced a smile to give her encouragement.

Such deaths may not be uncommon.

Where does Mo Xuebi not know how cruel the reality is? How could he not know that Lao Lu was dead?

She just smiled and didn't reveal each other.

After chatting for a few more words, Mo Xuebi said desolately:

"Senior Chen, can we leave Qing Yunyu alive?"

When she said this, tears suddenly became uncontrollably blurred in those charming peach eyes.

Not only her, but also several surrounding families looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was even more stunned.

yes.

Can you still leave Qingyun Domain?

In terms of strength, he can't answer that. He's just a mid-stage foundation-builder, struggling to survive in a crisis. How can he have the ability to decide whether he can walk out of the Qingyun domain?

Chen Ping took a deep breath and smiled easily:

"Sure, live well."

Only by living can there be hope for the future.

Chen Ping didn't talk any more, and took his leave under Mo Xuebi's gaze.

In fact, Mo Xuebi's situation is not an exception.

The high cost of living has made the lives of these monks more difficult.

The lack of refreshing pills makes people's evil side burst out at any time.

Ling Xiaozong's reputation is also gradually declining.

With the blessing of the three, robbery and fighting became more and more blatant.

For many monks, survival is a luxury.

"I hope it will get better and better." Chen Ping took a deep breath.

Yun Haitang remained silent.

After a while, he said:

"I heard that after the magic is ignited, if it is not suppressed by the awakening pill, within six or seven years, the monk will completely lose himself and fall into the devil's way. Now it is difficult to see how to break the situation."

"Yes, cultivating immortals has never been easy." Chen Ping said flatly.

That's what he said, but in fact, if he didn't need to go out to collect herbs, it wouldn't be difficult for him.

He has enough spirit rice and enough monster meat.

The refreshing pill is enough.

He even got a Lingmai Cave Mansion, which he usually dreamed of, by accident.

The painted talismans are also more valuable.

As long as you stay in the house and don't come out, it's not a big deal.

...

The two walked out of Luoyue City and continued to walk for more than ten miles into the forest before Yujian took off.

"Whoosh" to the southwest direction.

Choosing to go to the southwest was Yun Haitang's decision based on the Yun family's previous experience in collecting herbs.

The Yun family has been collecting herbs for hundreds of years, and they know very well where the spiritual plants in Qingyun Region are relatively abundant.

This is the benefit of traveling with Yun Haitang to collect herbs.

The destination is close to the Westman Region, but further south. The forest there is a swamp land further south. The climate is humid and warm all year round, and it is the natural growth place for spiritual plants.

The destination is about 1,600 miles away from Lingxiaozong.

Chen Ping's swordsmanship was 'successful', and there was no drag, so the speed was very fast.

Since Yun Haitang entered the late stage of foundation establishment, her spiritual power reserve has increased greatly, and the speed is also not slow.

"How are you? Do you want to slow down? Or stop and have a rest?" Chen Ping asked her halfway.

Yun Haitang's face was reddish due to the continuous use of spiritual power. Her sword control skills were incomparable to Chen Ping's. It was a bit difficult at extreme speed, but seeing Chen Ping on the fourth floor of the foundation was not a problem, and she was embarrassed to admit defeat first. :

"It's okay, everything depends on you."

She was slightly surprised that Chen Ping's sword control skills were so proficient, thinking back then...

The boy in front of him has grown up.

He was no longer the youthful young man who was standing behind her and couldn't even stand still when he was holding a sword.

Even though they proceeded cautiously while replenishing the Qi Gathering Pill, they reached the destination in the southwest within half a day.

Then land cautiously.

"Let's take a look at the forest in this area first. The aura here is good, and it's relatively remote. The soil is also fertile. There should be many spiritual plants." Yun Haitang said softly.

Chen Ping naturally agreed.

He first observed his surroundings. The forest here is denser than that near Lingxiaozong, and the big trees cover the sky and the sun. Even if it is daytime, you can hardly see the sun when you walk down below.

The humidity in the air is very high.

Chen Ping took a picture of the Righteousness Talisman he drew, and it was measured that the devilish energy here was much stronger than that in Luoyue City, and it was even several times stronger than that in his Lingmai Cave.

"Quick battle and quick decision, it is not appropriate to stay here for long."

Chen Ping swallowed a refreshing pill and miasma pill.

"I'll give you the magic weapon. After all, the cloud-winged bird has a limited range of perception, and the magic weapon can detect more than two miles. I have some experience in collecting herbs, and I can find spiritual plants without the magic weapon." Just as Chen Ping was thinking, Yun Haitang's The voice came.

Two miles?

Hearing this, Chen Ping originally wanted to tease her that the magic weapon was still like his cloud-winged bird, but when he saw her sincere face, her nose was slightly turned up, and the blush on her face caused by the imperial sword hadn't dissipated, she was really cute .

The teasing words reached his lips and swallowed again.

"Hold the magic weapon yourself, my bird... the cloud-winged bird is okay. I'll hurry up and find spiritual materials." Chen Ping said.

"Yes." Yun Haitang was not hypocritical.

Chen Ping and the two immediately went forward to explore.

The cloud-winged bird flew in front of Chen Ping, and could accurately explore a distance of more than three miles.

After a stick of incense, suddenly, the cloud-winged bird quickly flew in one direction, and Chen Ping hurriedly followed, and finally stopped at the root of a big tree three miles away.

The cloud-winged bird chirped and fluttered its wings.

Chen Ping walked over, scraped through the dense bushes, and found a spruce spruce in a hidden place below.

This kind of spiritual plant likes Yin.

...Cloud-winged bird, it really works! !

If it really depends on the pharmacist to identify it himself, this environment is too hidden, and it may not be possible to find it.

Yun Haitang who followed silently calculated the distance, then looked at the magic weapon in his hand, and suddenly felt that the magic weapon was not fragrant at all.

Chen Ping dug up the fern with the soil and roots, carefully wrapped it up, and put it in the spiritual plant bag.

The spiritual plant bag was distributed by Ling Xiaozong when he taught the class, one for each person, specially used to store the spiritual plant.

Continued to explore like this for an hour.

The two didn't get much.

Except for the fern that Chen Ping found, neither the fern nor the purple pod of frostbeard has been found since then.

Not only Chen Ping, but also Yun Haitang.

Yun Haitang mainly looked for blue frost grass and warm vines, but unexpectedly found nothing, not a single one.

'It's not right. '

Since this area is an area rich in spiritual plants, it is unlikely that the density of spiritual plants is so low.

I have been looking for an hour.

"Come and take a look here. According to what you learned during the previous lectures, this environment should be the living ecology of blue frost grass, and there are indeed traces of being dug here. Much is normal."

"But look at the soil and the surrounding area again, do you see any clues?" Chen Ping carefully inspected a Lingzhi den.

Yun Haitang squatted down next to Chen Ping, carefully inspecting it.

But still unclear so:

"What's the clue?"

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and took a breath:

"This place has been deliberately destroyed by someone who aims to completely destroy the living ecology of the blue frost grass."

this…

...not normal!
