I will survive with proficiency

The East China Sea area is the same as the West Wasteland area, with a vast area.

Luanluo City is located in the west of Donghai District, and the place where Chen Ping and his two landed is in the easternmost part of Donghai District, which is very far away.

After falling into the mainland, Baili Xianling resumed her princess status, and according to Baili Xianling's memory, she found a subsidiary sect that was very closely related to her faction.

The head of the Jindan sect personally escorted the two back to Luanluo City.

A few days later, the two traveled across the entire East China Sea area and returned to Luan Luo City after a long absence.

The three of them entered Miyagi directly.

Because there was no summons in advance, the three of them did not receive special welcome and reception after entering Miyagi.

When the three of them entered the city, a group of maids saw the person coming from this side from a distance, and bowed their heads and stood on both sides of the road to give way.

Baili Xianling recognized one of the group as her court lady, and said:

"Chunhua, what are you going to do?"

The court lady bent her knees slightly, without raising her head, she seemed to be in a bad state, and answered listlessly:

"Go back to your lord, this servant is going to offer incense to His Royal Highness the little princess."

After speaking, he sniffed his nose.

Baili Xianling was stunned for a moment, and reprimanded: "This princess is not dead yet."

"not dead?"

The maid suddenly looked up, and seeing that it was Princess Baili Xianling standing in front of her, she was startled and stunned.

He looked up at the red sun, and then, regardless of his identity, he rushed over, knelt in front of Baili Xianling, hugged Baili Xianling's leg and cried loudly:

"His Royal Highness is still alive."

"Your Highness, your legs are still hot, you really are not dead."

"."

Baili Xianling:.

Chen Ping couldn't help laughing.

The co-author hasn't seen anyone for almost a month, so this has already been buried in the grave, right?

The three originally wanted to enter the palace quietly. When entering the city gate, Baili Xianling even deliberately told the city guards not to make a fuss, and she could just go in and greet the queen herself.

As a result, after this trouble, the news spread all of a sudden.

After entering the palace, the Jindan of the sect went to pay homage to the demon queen (actually to ask for credit), while Chen Ping and Baili Xianling waited in the main hall.

After a while, Baili Ye, Baili Jinshuang and other people came after hearing the news.

These people originally thought that Chen Ping and Baili Xianling had already returned to Taoism. After all, Bailiye knew that they were going to the island center area to lure and kill Nanyang two people, and they agreed to go to Shuilian Cave to find him after they succeeded.

But then disappeared for two full years.

It has to be suspected that the two are dead.

Seeing the two of them at this moment, it is inevitable to cry with joy.

An exchange is inevitable.

Each shared their experiences.

When Chen Ping talked about his own affairs, he avoided some important things and ignored them.

For example, the octopus encountered in the sea, only said that they got rid of the pursuit of the octopus. Anyway, He Lianzheng passed out afterwards, and didn't know many things.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you say it straight, the octopus didn't follow suit, but the feeling of killing the golden core monster was too shocking, and it was unnecessary.

During the conversation, Chen Ping learned what happened to Baili Jinshuang, and also learned that Young Master Xuanyuan had returned to Taoism, and the other elder princess seemed to have returned to Taoism.

As for Baili Ye and Baili Jinshuang back then, Chen Ping and Baili Xianling hadn't returned for a long time after they were recovered. Although they didn't know if Nanyang and Baili were still alive, they still ventured into the core area of ​​the island once. , went to the place where Chen Ping had fought.

It's a pity we didn't see the two of them.

Since then, he never gave up and wanted to continue searching, but for some reason, the monsters suddenly became chaotic, and both of them were wounded, so they were trapped in the Water Curtain Cave.

It wasn't until Lianshen Island opened again, thanks to the fact that Water Curtain Cave was not too far away from the official exit, that they were able to escape from the official exit.

After that, the Elder Jindan and the Demon Queen successively entered the island of refining the gods, but they had nothing.

"Hey, fellow Daoist Chen, you don't know. When the island of refining the gods is approaching to open again, those high-level monsters seem to go crazy, and they all rush to the area of ​​​​the exit, as if they are looking for something. If it weren't for those The monster finally dispersed by itself, and my sister Huang and I could only be trapped in the cave without daring to use any spiritual power." Bai Liye still had lingering fears when he said it now.

Chen Ping felt apologetic, but it was beyond his control for the monster to go to that place to find people.

I can only sigh with emotion:

"Yeah, what a hell. I had the same experience with Princess Xianling, and I don't know what happened."

Bailiye was very emotional: "Yes, yes."

Baili Xianling obediently didn't say a word.

Chen Ping saw that Bailiye seemed to want to delve deeper into this issue, and said quietly:

"This is the first time for Fellow Daoist Bailiye to enter Lianshen Island? Has the situation been this dangerous before?"

"Yes, it's the first time." Bailiye replied subconsciously.

Suddenly, I thought of the sentence that Chen Ping said before - 'When I went to Qingyunyu, Qingyunyu was covered by a large formation of fog; when I returned to Yaodu, I just encountered disaster'.

Then this time.

Bailiye suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Ping, and he saw Chen Ping's meaningful smile.

Bailiye pretended not to understand, and changed the subject decisively:

"Ah, don't... don't talk about this, it's all over."

"By the way, didn't Chen Daoyou say that He Lianzheng came back with you? He returned to the family?"

Speaking of this, Chen Ping became serious, and told what happened to the three of them after they escaped from the backup exit, and finally took He Lianzheng's body out of the spirit beast bag:

"Fellow Daoist Bailiye, please also return the body of Fellow Daoist Helian to his family, and tell the story of the soul melting. The soul must be broken as soon as possible."

The shorter the soul melting time, the easier it is to split the soul.

Afterwards, Chen Ping's period of mental weakness became shorter.

Originally, it took a year for the spirit and soul to fully integrate, but now less than a month has passed, which was a complete surprise to Chen Ping.

I didn't expect the journey to be so smooth.

Bailiye looked at He Lianzheng's body with mixed feelings, and after a while he nodded solemnly:

"Chen Daoyou don't worry, I will send someone to send it right away, no, I will take someone to send it myself. Chen Daoyou can wait here for the mother."

Chen Ping raised his hand:

"There are friends Lao Baili Ye!"

After Bailiye left, Baili Jinshuang moved over and poked Chen Ping's arm with her long, fair fingers:

"Chen Daoyou is really lucky!"

Chen Ping also poked her: "Isn't it the same for Her Royal Highness?"

Baili Jinshuang:.

The little princess Baili Xianling blinked her big eyes, walked over, sat beside Sister Huang and led Baili Jinshuang to talk.

"..."

"Why did Huangjie change to a different kind of incense? Doesn't Huangjie dislike such a strong fragrance?" Baili Xianling sniffed beside Baili Jinshuang.

"Nope." Baili Jinshuang felt guilty:

"This is a new fragrance, just try the effect and change it back after a while."

She had used mud to cover up her smell for so long in Lian Shen Island, and it was inevitable that there would be a trace of mud smell on her body.

After I came back, I couldn't bear to soak in the aromatherapy bath every day.

"By the way, Princess Jinshuang and His Royal Highness Bailiye have been hiding in the Water Curtain Cave without changing places, so they have never worried about Nanyang coming to find you?" Chen Ping interjected, if it was him, he would have changed places a long time ago.

"Is there... why change places?" Baili Jinshuang faltered and gave Chen Ping a blank look:

"At that time...then, wasn't that hurt? Hey, really, I was chatting with Xiao Xianling, what did I interrupt, and I didn't understand etiquette at all. Let's not talk about this, Xiao Xianling, tell my sister about the time you came from the sea area encounter."

"..."

Not long after, Empress Zhenjun Yinyue appeared in the main hall. After seeing the ceremony, Chen Ping explained again what happened to Lianshen Island and Canghai.

Yinyue put her four arms lightly on her lower abdomen and thighs, listening carefully, asking a few questions from time to time.

After that, Chen Ping dealt with two more waves of people before finishing his trip back to the city.

After he came out, Chen Ping didn't leave Miyagi because of the splitting of his soul, but temporarily stayed in the side hall of Bailiye.

After dismissing the group of maids arranged by Baili Xianling, Chen Ping closed the door, opened his panel and took a look.

[Name: Chen Ping. 】

[Realm: Foundation Establishment (seven floors): 93/100. 】

【…】

'Now that he has come out of the island of refining the gods, and the jade raccoon has reached the Dacheng level of refining the mysterious canon, there is no need for the refining of the gods to be the main direction of attack. '

‘In more than two years, under the double blessing of taking a lot of spiritual fruits and high-intensity exercises, the realm has approached the eighth level of foundation building. '

‘There is still a period of weakness after the splitting of the soul. It is not suitable to go out during this period. It is just enough to focus on cultivation and strive to raise the realm to the eighth level of foundation building. '

‘In addition to realm cultivation, another benefit point in Lian Shen Island is to take a lot of autumn stone fruits. '

‘Next, we can focus on the bone refining technique to the liver, so as not to cause the bones to suffer in every battle and become the Achilles’ heel. '

Chen Ping decided on two major points that need to be practiced in the near future.

One is the boundary.

The second is bone refining.

Thinking of this, he immediately began to practice the three-turn Qingyuan Kungfu.

...

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

Helian Mansion.

After sending Bailiye away, the Helianzheng family immediately exploded.

They thought they had lost this junior, but they didn't expect that not only did they not die, but also a precious unicorn fire was born within them. What was originally a misfortune suddenly turned into a happy event.

White turns red.

"I'll hurry up to arrange the soul splitting ceremony. Zheng'er's soul is still in Chen Ping's body. It's better sooner rather than later, so that Zheng'er can recover quickly." A middle-aged monk with a short beard said.

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, the middle-aged short-bearded monk said without blushing, without beating his heart:

"Why? Why are you looking at me like this? Zheng'er is my nephew, isn't it normal to worry about him?"

Everyone was speechless. When the news of He Lianzheng's death came out, I have never seen you so anxious.

Another weak woman said softly:

"Now that my son and that Chen Ping have both returned, we can indeed arrange to split the soul as soon as possible. I have to thank Chen Ping a lot. Not only did he save Zheng'er's life, but he will still be Zheng'er's soul melter for decades to come. Zheng'er shares weal and woe."

The weak woman is obviously He Lianzheng's mother, Helian Xiuhong. Before Helian Xiuhong finished speaking, the middle-aged short-bearded monk immediately interrupted:

"Ninth sister is confused."

"What shared honor and disgrace with Chen Ping?"

"This splitting of the soul, of course we have to take out the unicorn fire and find another owner."

"Then what kind of monk is Chen Ping? You may not have heard of it, but I have heard a little bit of it. It is a mere first-level casual cultivator, with no roots and no roots, let alone a disciple of a great power. How can such a monk be worthy of my genius?" Nephew Zheng'er Soul Melting?"

"But..." Helian Xiuhong still wanted to speak.

But maybe it has something to do with her personal character, or her low level of cultivation, or maybe it's because the girl's status in her natal family is not high, so she was interrupted again by the middle-aged short-bearded monk before she finished speaking:

"Ninth Sister, don't delay Zheng'er's immortal life because of your soft heart. This is the most important moment in Zheng'er's life, and it is also the time when my Helian family has received a powerful boost."

After speaking, the middle-aged short-bearded monk glanced around:

"What do you guys think? Don't let me speak alone."

Among the originally silent crowd, a monk came out:

"What Zhong Da (middle-aged short-bearded monk) said is very true. This is not the time to be arrogant. You have to think carefully about Zheng'er."

"Then Chen Ping is really not qualified to have a long-term soul fusion with Zheng'er."

"Before Zheng'er entered Lian Shen Island, because Chen Ping was the only stranger, I had a detailed understanding of his situation. This cultivator is a casual cultivator that His Highness Weihuai (respected by Bai Liye) met during his training in the Tianyan Domain. Now he is already the peak master of a small sect, but he is only a seven-level monk. Whether it is his own cultivation strength or his strong sect background, it is difficult to bring Zheng'er a better opportunity. "

"It's not the best habitat for Qilinhuo."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone started discussing it.

It is more inclined to strip the unicorn fire, and voices like He Lianzheng's mother are completely drowned out in the discussion.

"According to His Royal Highness Weihuai, the little princess was a witness at the time, and it was Zheng'er who wanted to fuse his soul with Chen Ping, and promised to only crack the soul and not take out the unicorn fire." A monk said with scruples.

Helian Zhongda (short-bearded monk) said disdainfully:

"Your Highness, the little princess, is just a witness. Zheng'er was on the verge of death, so would it count if he begged Chen Ping? Chen Ping was kind to my Helian clan, and he could just offer treasures as a gift of thanks. How could it be confused with Soul Melting? "

"It's a matter of strength. He's weak. Who's to blame?"

"..."

After a discussion, everyone turned their attention to the old lady sitting at the end.

That old lady is obviously the ancestor of the Helian clan with the highest cultivation level today - Jindan cultivator.

The old lady paused the wooden staff in her hand, and said slowly:

"Since you all agree, let's do it this way. Zheng'er's future is indeed the most important thing, and everything else can be discussed."

"Let's get ready. Arrange for Soul Breaker as soon as possible. The old man also met Chen Ping. After all, he saved Zheng'er's life."

"Yes, Patriarch." *N.

...

Miyagi, Baili Ye Piandian.

After Bailiye came back, he returned the two formations brought back from the Water Curtain Cave on Lianshen Island to Chen Ping.

evening.

When the two were chatting in the side hall, the patriarch of the Helian family came to visit with a few core members. Everyone inevitably chatted for a while and introduced each other.

Chen Ping met He Lianzheng's mother for the first time, she was a frail woman. There is also his uncle, who always seems to have a look of arrogance in his eyes.

The ancestor of the Helian family was an old lady who looked very old.

During the conversation, most of the words of thanks from the Helian family to Chen Ping.

"Your Highness, can I have a story with Chen Xiaoyou alone?" Patriarch Helian said after sitting for a while.

Bailiye laughed and said:

"Okay, my Highness happens to have something to do, so I won't disturb you all. Please speak slowly, and just tell the servant girl if you have something to do."

After all, this is about He Lianzheng's soul melting, and it is normal that it is inconvenient for outsiders to listen.

After Bailiye left, they said they were talking alone, but several members of the Helian family were there.

Patriarch Helian paused for a moment with his cane, and said:

"This trip to Lian Shendao, I never imagined that so many things would happen. I, Zheng'er of the Helian family, was saved by Chen Xiaoyou. It's a great fortune. I thank Chen Xiaoyou here."

Chen Ping looked at the old lady in front of him, and said:

"Senior, you don't need to be polite. This junior is destined to walk with fellow Taoist He Lianzheng all the way."

"Okay, it's a fate." The old lady smiled: "From this point of view, Chen Xiaoyou and Zheng'er can be regarded as good friends. If that's the case, why don't you just say something straight?"

Chen Ping didn't know what she was going to say, and said:

"Senior, it's okay to say."

"I wonder what Chen Xiaoyou thinks about the matter of soul melting and soul splitting with Zheng'er?" the old lady tentatively asked.

Chen Ping thought to himself, how do you think about this? What is there to discuss? Truthfully said:

"Senior, please arrange this matter as soon as possible, and split your soul as soon as possible. Whether it is for me or fellow Taoist He Lianzheng, it should be sooner rather than later."

If the soul is broken as soon as possible, Chen Ping's soul will be weak for a short period, while He Lianzheng's soul will not be assimilated and perish, which is conducive to recovery as soon as possible.

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't get to the point, and before the old lady had time to say anything more, Uncle He Lianzheng and middle-aged monk Helian Zhongda behind him said:

"Chen Daoyou, let's put it this way."

"Splitting the soul this time not only needs to crack Zheng'er's soul, but also needs to extract the Qilin fire. I believe Chen Daoyou can understand this point?"

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes.

Not only Helian Zhongda, even several other people were silent.

Chen Ping understood why they had to talk alone.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes, and the fire got a little hotter.

He originally didn't want to merge his soul with He Lianzheng for a long time. Although it was good for him, it would also bring countless troubles and push him to the cusp of everyone's attention.

Giving up voluntarily and being forced to give up are two different things.

In Helian Zhongda's tone, what Chen Ping heard was not a discussion, nor was he asking for his own opinion.

It is a unilateral 'information'.

Seeing that Chen Ping did not answer, Helian Zhongda continued:

"Chen Daoyou, a disciple of my Helian family, once the unicorn fire is born, and the master of the unicorn fire is there, then he can't just represent himself, but belongs to the whole family."

"Besides, since Chen Daoyou is Zheng'er's friend, shouldn't he also consider Zheng'er? Let's put it bluntly, he needs to fuse his soul with a genius disciple in order to bring him unlimited possibilities."

Understood.

This is a contempt for my talent.

Chen Ping looked at these people calmly, and they basically had a tacit attitude. It seemed that they had discussed it before coming here.

Only He Lianzheng's mother hesitated to speak several times, but in the end she just lowered her head.

Patriarch Helian listened to his own people speak out, and seeing Chen Ping's face turned ugly, secretly thought that Chen Ping really had coveted Qilin Huoxin.

Right.

Who can refuse a ray of unicorn fire that brings unlimited opportunities?

Patriarch Helian waved his hand and said:

"Zhongda speaks quickly, and please Chen Xiaoyou not to be offended. Earlier, His Highness the Little Princess asked Weihuai to mention Zheng'er's order, but there are not many Qilin Fire Lords in my Helian family, and each of them is very important. precious."

"My Helian family has an inherent selection process for soul-melting objects, and the owner of the Qilin Fire cannot make the decision alone, otherwise the Helian family would have been in chaos."

"I ask Chen Xiaoyou to forgive me for this."

"Of course, Chen Xiaoyou can also recommend himself as a soul-melting partner. After Zheng'er recovers, my Helian family will choose a soul-melting partner for him in a fair and just manner."

"How do you like Chen Xiaoyou?"

After all, the meaning is very clear.

That last sentence sounds kind and fair, but it's actually even more provocative.

It was to let Chen Ping retreat in the face of difficulties.

How could Chen Ping not understand?

Thinking about it, if it wasn't for his own soul melting, He Lianzheng would have died long ago, so why would he talk about the precious unicorn fire master?

But now, the Helian family didn't mention this matter at all.

Opening the mouth is to extract the unicorn fire.

It's not like I'm ready to say anything.

Chen Ping's face was a little ugly, and he said coldly:

"Senior already knew about His Royal Highness Xianling's message, so he naturally knew the agreement between He Lianzheng and this subordinate. To be honest, I was willing to take many risks to bring fellow Taoist Helianzheng back from the sea, and then took further risks to melt his soul. , for the unicorn fire."

"Senior now proposes to take out the unicorn fire. I'm afraid it's inappropriate, isn't it?"

Chen Ping looked at the few people opposite with a cold face. Whether it is soul melting or soul splitting, it needs the active cooperation of the parties involved and the subjective consent, otherwise it cannot be completed.

He occupies absolute initiative.

Patriarch Helian raised his hand to stop Helian Zhongda who wanted to speak again, and said:

"The Lord of the Qilin Fire is important to my Helian family. The old man has already mentioned it. I believe Chen Daoyou already understands it."

"Chen Xiaoyou's life-saving grace to Zheng'er, I, the Helian family, will always remember it."

"If Chen Xiaoyou is willing to give up Qilinhuo, it can be regarded as saving Zheng'er's immortality again, and my Helian family will naturally send a big thank you gift, how about it?"

Chen Ping got this moment.

If the Helian clan were really polite and even willing to let Chen Ping choose whether to keep the Qilinhuo, then Chen Ping would really be very upset about the lion.

After all, the Helian clan belonged to Bailiye's faction, and it was thanks to Bailiye's blessing that he was able to enter the island of refining gods to practice.

But it's different now.

Since you don't care about love, then do business.

"What can seniors provide?" Chen Ping said calmly.

Patriarch Helian slowed down and said lightly:

"How about a sword? The Helian family has an ancient sword, which is very precious, but the Helian family has not produced a sword for many years. How about using this sword in exchange for Chen Xiaoyou to give up Qilinhuo?"

That's it?

Everyone knows the value of Qilinhuo, this sword can be proposed by Patriarch Helian, it should not be ordinary. But this obviously did not meet Chen Ping's expectations.

Chen Ping took the topic and said straight to the point:

"Senior, since it's an exchange, why don't the juniors pick it up?"

"Chen Xiaoyou, but it's okay to say."

"2 Golden Pills, 50 bottles of special Peiyuan Pill, 50 bottles of special Bone Refining Pill, and 50 bottles of special Marrow Refining Pill." Chen Ping opened his mouth wide.

I learned this through Baili Xianling.

Not to mention the two golden elixirs, this thing is rare and rare, and it is very precious. Every time it appears in some high-end auctions, it can attract the attention of countless forces.

The latter three elixirs are also not simple.

There are often many types of elixirs that achieve the same effect, and the elixirs produced by different alchemists often have some differences.

A good elixir has great efficacy and less drug resistance.

The elixirs sold in the market are often the most common elixirs. Really good pills with special formulas are often secret and family heirlooms.

Or because of the extremely low refining efficiency, the requirements for spiritual materials are too rare, and the cost is too high, they are not popularized, or even eliminated or only in the hands of a few families.

This is the case with the Bone Refining Pill and Marrow Refining Pill possessed by the Helian family.

This kind of elixir is often produced very little.

Calculated in grains.

As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, Helian Zhongda was shocked and said first:

"Here, fellow Daoist Chen, don't be joking. What do you think Jindan is, and you can get it casually? My Helian family doesn't have any. And that bone-refining pill, marrow-refining pill..."

Before he finished speaking, Patriarch Helian raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile:

"It seems that Chen Xiaoyou knows a lot about my Helian family."

"Now that you know something, you should also have some understanding of the current stock of elixir in my Helian family. There is only one golden elixir, which can be given to Chen Xiaoyou, but there is only one elixir. It is not so easy to obtain golden elixir."

"The Bone Refining Pill and Marrow Refining Pill secreted by the Helian family can be refined by themselves, but the demand for raw materials is extremely demanding, so you can't just refine it if you want."

"To tell you the truth, Chen Xiaoyou, even if we collect all the current pills, I'm afraid we can only make about 20 bottles. This old man can only promise so much to Xiaoyou."

"How about this, one golden elixir, 20 bottles of each of the three kinds of elixirs, and the ancient sword still belongs to Chen Xiaoyou?"

"This is the greatest benefit that this old man can promise."

On the way back from Canghai, Chen Ping had already obtained some information about the Helian family from Baili Xianling.

The raw materials and refining conditions of these elixirs are very harsh, so the Helian family will not have too many.

...almost enough.

If you want to make more demands, if Patriarch Helian quits and lets Chen Ping melt his soul, it will be difficult for him to ride a tiger.

"Senior, please send the elixir and the ancient sword to His Highness Bailiye, and he will keep it for me. I will wait for the senior to inform you about the splitting of the soul." Chen Ping nodded.

These properties are not simple. I am in a foreign land, and I may not be able to keep them.

It is clear that it will be much safer to be hosted by Bailiye.

In Miyagi, no one would take Bai Liye's idea.

But for Chen Ping, not necessarily.

"Okay." Seeing that Chen Ping agreed, Patriarch Helian breathed a sigh of relief. These belongings are not simple. Among other things, a golden pill needs the great merits of the poor family to exchange for it, and it also depends on chance. There must be anytime.

But their Helian family had their own faults first, and for Helianzheng's bright future, these sacrifices are necessary.

Patriarch Helian continued:

"It's not too late. The old man arranges to split his soul tomorrow, and he will notify Yu Chen Xiaoyou at that time."

"..."

Now that it has been negotiated, the two sides did not discuss any more, but agreed on tomorrow's soul splitting.

The group left immediately.
