I will survive with proficiency

Chen Ping and Ming He continued chatting for a while, and went to the village for a walk the next day.

Learn a little more.

The village is not very big, but there are many people.

Most of them are Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. Perhaps these cultivators are the main force to go to various forests or secret realms to practice and travel.

And then strayed into the Canglan Grassland.

Everyone comes from different places, and Chen Ping has never even heard of most countries and mainlands.

If it is really as Xiyue said, the outside world is too colorful.

In addition, there are even a few mortals in the village.

Chen Ping recalled the tearing feeling when he entered the ancient teleportation formation, and was very puzzled how mortals could enter here. After inquiring about it, I realized that some teleportation arrays are not so shoddy.

But that's not the main reason.

The main reason is that this village has existed for hundreds of years. With no hope of getting out of the Canglan grassland, some monks began to live and work here in peace.

And these few mortals are basically descendants of these monks.

When Chen Ping heard that the village had a history of hundreds of years, although he had certain expectations in his heart, he was still quite shocked.

Has no one been able to find a way out of the Canglan Grassland for so many years?

As for the formation in the central area of ​​the village, there are only a few top monks in the middle and late stages of Jindan living in it, such as the golden monks.

These monks are the monks with the highest probability of survival here, and they also control the right to speak here.

This was also the reason why he was disappointed when he heard about Chen Ping's cultivation level when Brother Jin led Chen Ping into the village - only Jindan's middle and late stages could play a key role in this wasteland.

Because they were worried that the stone tower would be vandalized maliciously, they occupied the central area and protected it with formations to prevent outsiders from entering.

And that stone tower seems to be a product left over from the war between humans and demons in ancient times.

In order to find their way out of the Canglan Grassland, everyone never gave up.

From time to time, people left the village, some never came back after leaving, and some would come back here again after walking for a while.

On the afternoon of the second day after entering the village, someone from the village formation came to register information, mainly some information about cultivation, arrival, views on getting out of this grassland, what skills can help the team, and so on.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to learn more information from them.

Not long after the villager left, a Jindan Laoxiu hurriedly came to visit. After some greetings, Laoxiu did not leave. Chen Ping felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him.

Then asked:

"Senior came to the door, there must be something wrong?"

That old Xiu laughed:

"The old man is preparing to break through the first level these days, but he is short of some qi-invigorating elixir. You should have some in stock when you are a newcomer, right?"

"Can you sell some to the old man?"

Chen Ping said with 'regret':

"To tell you the truth, fellow daoists, when I came over from the teleportation formation, my strength was weak, and I couldn't protect the storage bag. The storage bag had already collapsed, and all the contents inside were destroyed, and there were no particles left, let alone medicine pills. Destroyed things. Hey, it’s fortunate that there are still a few spirit stones not placed in the storage bag, otherwise it really wouldn’t be possible to survive here.”

After speaking, he took out the two collapsed storage bags and showed Lao Xiu.

As soon as he arrived, this person came to buy medicine pills the next day.

Obviously, he wanted to beat himself up with a time gap when he was not familiar with the price of elixir.

This person is very cunning.

There is a lack of spiritual power here, and qi-invigorating pills are more important than one.

He still has more than 500 bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, which he bought in Tianyan City half a month ago, but he is not going to sell any of them.

No matter how expensive it is.

I don't know how long I will be trapped here, medicine pill is a very important resource.

Lao Xiu looked at the storage bag, glanced at Chen Ping slyly, and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist, don't you have any other storage bags? If you really have one, I can buy some elixir at a high price, and you won't lose out to fellow Daoist."

"It's really gone. I'm just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How can there be so many storage bags?" Chen Ping said with a 'wry smile'.

My heart tightened slightly.

This old idea is probably also the idea of ​​many other monks.

It seems that we must be more cautious when using property in the future.

"That's a pity." Lao Xiu sighed.

He didn't buy any elixir, and Lao Xiu was not in the mood to talk too much. After a few words, he got up and left.

Chen Ping watched Lao Xiu go away before returning to the cave and closing the gate.

‘You have to form a pill as soon as possible. '

'It's too unsafe to build a foundation here. '

‘In a short period of time, you cannot go out of the village. This village is not big, and it is difficult to kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core cultivator silently in the village, so the probability of murder in the village should not be high. '

'I'll go out and inquire later to see how the battles in the village have been going on in the past. '

In the following days, Xiyue has been recovering herself in the quiet room, while Chen Ping often wandered around the village, asking for as much information as possible.

Before Xiyue recovered from her injury, Chen Ping didn't plan to form a pill rashly.

It's not like being in the endless forest or the sect. There are many Jindan monks outside. It is very dangerous for him and Xiyue to enter a state of being unable to fight at the same time.

In this environment, Xiyue, the law protector, can play a role.

After inquiring for a period of time, Chen Ping not only learned about the layout of the village, but also heard about the fighting in the village in the past.

very few.

This is exactly what Chen Ping guessed.

After all, on the surface, everyone is compatriots hugging together to keep warm, and they should not be hostile to each other.

This is also the rule formulated by the group of golden core mid-to-late monks in the formation.

But going outside is not necessarily the case.

Occasionally someone goes out and never comes back.

No one knows whether they left, were attacked by monsters and died, or went to other potential villages.

Or he was murdered and seized the treasure by the neighbors he lived with day and night.

At the same time, I also found out that everyone is currently trying to explore two directions to get out of the Canglan grassland:

First, some potential ancient formations.

Since there is an ancient formation that can bring them here, then maybe there is an ancient formation that can lead to the outside continent.

It's just that such formations are hard to find.

Everyone even suspected that some monks disappeared inexplicably after going out, maybe they entered the teleportation array by mistake and left the Canglan grassland.

Second, there is a relic of the original sect in the middle of the grassland.

It is said that there are abnormally many monsters there.

According to the information circulating among the villagers, there might be something guarded there by the Demon Beast Gate.

Perhaps the secret of leaving is hidden.

These two directions are just everyone's guess.

The former is difficult to confirm.

There are many monsters outside, and there are some ancient traps left over, which are easy to kill.

The latter is difficult.

Decades ago, high-ranking monks rushed into that ruins collectively, desperately besieged and suppressed the monsters, trying to pry into the secrets in the ruins.

But the monsters are really not weak in combat power.

Coupled with the lack of resources such as pills, magic tools, magic weapons, and talismans, these Jindan monks' combat power is greatly reduced.

In the end, it failed.

'These two paths are not feasible for me now. '

'No matter, focus on your own business first. '

'During this time, Xiyue hasn't come out yet, so I can take this opportunity to draw some golden armor talismans, which are very useful in this forest, and can be exchanged for spirit stones if necessary. '

Just do what you say, but fortunately, Xiaozhufeng brought a full set of tools for drawing symbols.

One stroke, one stroke, one stroke...

...

Drawing symbols is a job that most requires peace of mind, and it can also promote peace of mind in turn.

After a month, Chen Ping's upset and impatience when he first came to this grassland was relieved.

Became calm a lot.

'Don't be in a hurry, don't be too impetuous. What's the rush? '

'Everyone in the village wants to go out, especially the guys in the formation, they are planning day and night, maybe they have more detailed plans. '

‘For me, the most important thing at the moment is to settle down in this place first, and to form a pill first. '

'step by step. '

‘If you can’t form the alchemy, or fail to form the alchemy, then everything is empty talk. '

Chen Ping drew a talisman stroke by stroke, and when the aura on the talisman skin subsided, he blew lightly on the talisman and looked it over, it was perfect.

He smiled and put it in the storage bag.

Just when he was about to draw another talisman, he suddenly heard the door opening outside the quiet room, and knew that Xiyue should have come out.

Just a month?

Chen Ping walked out of the quiet room, and saw Xiyue bent down to pick up the two formation tokens outside her quiet room.

Compared with one month, Xiyue's aura is much stronger, and her face is not as pale as before.

The domineering feeling of the number one monk in the Western Wilderness on his body was faintly revealed again.

"Master, how is your recovery?" He walked over.

"It's much better." Actually, Xiyue didn't fully recover, at least only a small part of it. After all, the injury of the primordial spirit is not so easy to recover.

What's more, this time he was injured to the point of collapse.

But because this is an unfamiliar environment, she was worried that Chen Ping would not be able to handle it with a foundation establishment, so once she recovered a little, she couldn't wait to walk out.

"How's the situation here?" she asked.

Chen Ping told her all the news he had inquired over the past month. After listening to Chen Ping's explanation, she was both sad and happy.

The sad thing is that even she can't fly out of the Canglan Grassland. The situation in Canglan Grassland was more serious than she knew.

The good news is that the village is safe for the time being, as long as she and Chen Ping don't leave the village, there shouldn't be any danger.

This is equivalent to giving her an excellent time to recover her soul and Chen Ping's alchemy time.

"By the way, what's the situation with Chi Liang? Didn't Master say that the road from the demon world to the human world has been completely cut off?" Chen Ping asked after talking about the Canglan Grassland.

Xiyue said with a stern expression:

"This is exactly what I find incredible. However, the passage has been blocked for thousands of years, and it is reasonable to have a loophole. Or maybe the demons have found another way to the human world."

"But what is certain is that this loophole or other ways are not enough to allow a large number of demon monks to enter the human world. It is still necessary to open the confinement. Otherwise, Chi Liang will not want to rob and kill me."

As for who is Chi Liang?

In fact, Xiyue has never seen it before, but as one of the supporters of the channel imprisonment, she has read some classics about the demons in detail.

Know the situation and appearance of this demon.

"So, the battle between the Demon Race and the Human Race shouldn't come so soon? At least the channel is still imprisoned." Chen Ping nodded.

This made him a little relieved about the current situation.

After all, both daughters-in-law are still in Xihuang.

Although they all have the protection of the sect, if such a major event as the Human-Devil World War is to happen, no one will care about others. Their cultivation base is not too high, and it is really dangerous.

But as long as there is peace, they will not have much security problems in the sect.

"It won't be that fast." Xiyue affirmed:

"And this time Chi Liang was also seriously injured, self-destructing a horn. I'm afraid he won't be good enough to assassinate the second prisoner."

"According to me, he will probably lurk again and inquire about me. As long as I don't show up, I'm afraid he won't act rashly."

Chen Ping looked at Xiyue.

It could be seen that there was a hint of anxiety on Xiyue's face, and she guessed that she wanted to return to Xizhou as soon as possible to convey the news that the demons had entered Xizhou.

Chen Ping smiled:

"You have done your best, let the rest take its course. There are so many dangerous things for the human race in this world, can you still take care of everything?"

Xiyue glanced at Chen Ping:

"It's not that I'm worried about that."

"It's just that this seat has always felt that Chi Liang's coming to the human world may have something to do with the cooperation of some monks in the human world? Of course this is just a feeling. If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future."

"Devil cultivator? The Demon Lord of Beimo?" Chen Ping raised his nose, smelling a conspiracy.

Although he is not interested in participating in the grievances and grievances between Xiyue and the demons, he is interested in hearing these secrets.

The more you know, the more accurate your predictions will be.

It is more timely and accurate to run and protect yourself.

"Demon Lord?" Xiyue gave a rare smile:

"He won't. In fact, the old guy doesn't care much about the Demon Sect these years. Instead, he likes to travel around with his little granddaughters, grandsons, and apprentices."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's all nonsense that you can't get out of the Canglan grassland."

Xiyue paused, then said:

"You don't need to worry too much, no matter how much time you have, I dare not say, but what I can guarantee is that Yu Lingchun won't be in any danger of losing her treatment for a decade or two. At worst, I will extend her treatment time later. Decades."

"En." Chen Ping nodded.

Xiyue shook the control token in her hand: "You arranged these two formations?"

As an excellent formation mage, she is familiar with both sets of formations, and she herself has learned them before.

She knew it was a second-order formation, but she felt that the effect of the formation in front of her might be far more than a second-order formation.

Many details were fine-tuned.

There were some tweaks that even she couldn't understand.

But somehow I feel very superb.

"Yes, it's somewhat useful." Chen Ping looked at her cuffs, expecting something:

"Has the master brought formations? Especially the third and fourth-order spirit-gathering formations, the aura here is really not very good."

"No, the two offensive and defensive formations I brought were used up against Chi Liang." Xiyue sneered:

"Besides, if you go on a trip, you have to bring an offensive and defensive formation, or even take your psychedelic formation. Who would take a spirit gathering formation?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her smile froze.

I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I suddenly sensed that there is actually a spirit gathering array arranged in this cave, and the spirit energy is rapidly gathering from outside the cave to inside the cave.

...I've learned a lot... she thought to herself.

Can't help but glance at Chen Ping again.

Xiyue slowed down and sat down on the stone bench. With just such a glance, he suddenly found that Chen Ping was not sitting on a stone bench, but a chair made of rattan and wood.

It is a magic weapon.

A magic weapon with the functions of gathering spirits and promoting practice.

"Could it be that you brought it too?" She asked tentatively.

I felt so stupid after asking.

Tangtang Yuanying actually asked such a question.

Who would have a chair in a storage bag for nothing?

Impossible.

"Yes." Chen Ping said.

Xiyue: ...

'Impossible'... The negative words she just said in her heart are still echoing in her mind.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Xiyue took a deep breath, practiced for hundreds of years, and this was the first time she saw her.

I thought why didn't you bring the futon with you?

However, I thought that this time, Chen Ping really made money. Currently, there is not enough aura here. Whether it is the Spirit Gathering Formation or such a magic chair, it is very valuable.

"There is not enough spiritual energy here, which is not good for you to form alchemy. Since the village is safe for the time being, why don't I practice in seclusion for two or three months. At that time, the primordial spirit will recover seven or eighty-eight, and you can forcefully gather spirits artificially to help you with golden alchemy. How? ?” Xiyue said.

Can it be artificially gathered spirits?

so good?

Chen Ping was overjoyed, the lack of spiritual energy was what he was most worried about right now.

The current aura level was forcibly raised to level 2.5 by him. Although the usual practice is barely enough. But for the alchemy process, it is still a bit weak.

You know, when I went to the foundation building pool to build the foundation, the aura concentration there was more than 2.5 levels.

"How much can you raise?" Chen Ping asked hurriedly.

"At least double the level. However, it consumes a lot of mind and spiritual power for the spell-casting cultivator, and cannot continue to gather spirits for a long time. But it is enough for your critical period of alchemy."

Double it?

That is, the 2.5th order directly reached the 5th order?

Enough is enough, enough is enough.

"Okay, there is no rush to form the pill." Chen Ping said happily.

This master is kind and generous.

He likes it very much.

Of course, it refers to the time when she didn't count the amount of spirit wine.

Then he took out the futon from the quiet room and handed it to Xiyue:

"The last time I thought about the futon, the master had already started taking pills to practice, so he didn't knock on the door to interrupt the master's practice. I will borrow this futon for you first, and the spirit gathering effect is not bad."

Xiyue laughed and said:

"Did you really bring a futon? Why didn't you bring a bed?"

"I brought it."

"You brought the bed?" Xiyue's voice raised once.

"yes."

Xiyue got up and looked at the ice jade bed in Chen Ping's room in disbelief, and took a deep breath.

Can't say a word.

Nobody.

I am convinced.

After a while, he said:

"Then... I will borrow this futon for a while. If there is nothing else, I will go to practice first. If there is anything important, you can call me anytime."

"Master, wait a minute." Chen Ping reached into the storage bag with his spiritual sense, thought for a while, and only took out a pot of Jiannanchun, and threw it to Xiyue:

"There's not much left, so save your drink."

Xiyue took the spirit wine and froze for a moment.

The nameless wine combined with the secret method can restore the primordial spirit, which is currently the most valuable to her.

"Didn't you say it's gone?" She looked at her apprentice.

"It was brewed in Tianyan City, didn't Senior Sister Guan tell Master?" Chen Ping said calmly.

"Thank you very much." Xiyue's heart warmed, and she said thank you very rarely.

Glancing at Chen Ping's storage bag, he swallowed, turned and entered the quiet room.

Chen Ping continued to return to his quiet room.

Continue to draw characters.

With the artificial short-term gathering provided by Xiyue, it can be regarded as solving his last worry.

At this point, all obstacles to the alchemy have been cleared away.

This cheap master is not saved in vain!
