I will survive with proficiency

Bixian Pavilion.

Senior Sister Qin came in a hurry, and suddenly appeared in Bixian Pavilion. Seeing a cup of tea on the stone table in front of Fairy Biyuan, she picked it up and took a sip, not forgetting to breathe out comfortably.

"Why is senior sister here?" Fairy Biyuan looked at the gray-haired senior sister.

Senior Sister Qin put down her teacup:

"I just came back from killing demons, and I passed by here to see you."

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and turned to look at Fairy Biyuan:

"That kid Chen Ping may have to hit the Nascent Soul Realm in a few decades, right? He has been huddled in the Tianyin Immortal City, and it's not good if he lacks the perception between life and death. How can he achieve resonance with the Nascent Soul?"

"Do you want senior sister to arrange for me to take this kid out to participate in several demon-slaying missions to practice?"

Currently, multiple continents are blocked and in a state of autonomy. For those continents that are not blocked, it is the best time to eliminate the remnants of the demons.

A big sect like the Tianyin Sect is often invited to go to some continents to kill demons.

There are many such tasks.

"Or, you've already made arrangements for him?" Seeing that Fairy Biyuan didn't answer, Senior Sister Qin asked back.

"He recently promised to fight Xuanyuan Jijiu." Fairy Biyuan said slowly.

Senior Sister Qin was taken aback.

Yes.

Isn't this just an experience?

According to the character of Lonely Jijiu, he will definitely do his best. For Chen Ping, it is a life-and-death experience.

only.

"He actually agreed?" Senior Sister Qin was puzzled. Didn't it mean that Chen Ping had stayed in the fairy city for more than a hundred years and hadn't gone out to accept any missions?

Why is such a person so brave all of a sudden?

"Um."

"So you didn't stop it, so it was a chance for Chen Ping to experience a life-and-death duel? The Dugu Jijiu is not easy, and you are not afraid that your precious Taoist partner will fall on the martial arts stage?"

Fairy Biyuan didn't speak, but just looked at the scenery outside the window quietly.

That is the entire Tianyin Immortal City overlooking it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. How are you? The last time you broke through the sixth pass, you used three double cultivations. This time, how many double cultivations will it take to break through the seventh pass?" Senior Sister Qin asked with concern.

"Breakthrough has been made!" Fairy Biyuan's voice was calm and calm.

"Breakthrough already? When did it happen?"

"just."

"Just finished double training?"

"Um."

"Didn't you just break through the sixth hurdle a few years ago? This time, you broke through the seventh hurdle after double cultivation once?"

"His neley has increased again."

Sister Qin:

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister Qin is wrong. I shouldn't have laughed at you for choosing this exercise. Can Senior Sister return to her youth? Senior Sister also wants to practice this exercise."

"."

Chen Fu.

After Chen Ping returned to the quiet room, he closed the door, and immediately took out the brochure given by Shiba, which was about Dugu Jijiu's personal information.

Apart from the information that Chen Ping had already learned, the brochure also recorded some exercises and spells of Dugu Jijiu.

Dugu Jijiu is a sword repairman, and his natal magic weapon is also a sword.

The best is swordsmanship.

This is somewhat similar to Chen Ping.

It's just that he is more dedicated than Chen Ping in the way of swordsmanship. Chen Ping is essentially a Dharma practitioner who also practices swordsmanship and body training.

Seeing this, Chen Ping felt a little relieved, he was very familiar with using swords.

It is nothing more than breaking ten thousand laws with sword intent.

As for sword intent, he is best at it.

Of course, Dugu Jijiu is not weak, and the cultivation base of the first level of Yuanying, with only one sword, is basically invincible in Tianyinzong against monks below the middle stage of Yuanying.

Based on the analysis of the several battles between Dugu Jijiu and others recorded in the brochure, Chen Ping vaguely felt that his sword intent should be stronger.

Of course, this is just a feeling.

After all, there is no actual combat.

Which spells a monk has practiced are generally his own secrets and will not be easily revealed to others. But for a monk like Dugu Jijiu who often fights openly with others, some of his commonly used spells are familiar to others.

Some of the spells practiced by Dugu Jijiu come from the sect, and some of them come from the Dugu family.

Only a few of them were recorded in the brochure given by Shiba, all of which were spells publicly used by Dugu Jijiu, or information obtained from Yunjinzong.

Among them, the most prominent and famous is a self-healing supplementary exercise from the Dugu family.

Once other monks' Yuanshen and Dantian are injured, especially high-level monks like Jindan and Yuanying, they often need to retreat for more than ten years, or even decades to recover.

When the paper figurine following Chen Ping was destroyed in the eighteenth year, it took more than ten years of retreat to repair the destroyed Yuanshen, so that the paper figurine never followed Chen Ping again.

But Dugu Jijiu is different.

Even the most serious injury he has suffered can be repaired in the shortest time.

For example, with Shiba's injuries of this degree, Dugu Jijiu didn't even need a year to fully recover.

This relies on the secret technique of the Dugu family that is not passed on to the outside world.

Because of this skill as a guarantee, Dugu Jijiu can usually fight freely in some battles. For him, as long as he doesn't die, it also guarantees his reputation in battle.

In fact, according to the eighteenth guess (defamation), the reason why Dugu Jijiu came to the stage in Tianyin Xiancheng to challenge monks at the early stage of Nascent Soul and below but failed to meet opponents was not necessarily because he was invincible at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but because some monks at the early stage of Nascent Soul were invincible. I don't want to confront him head-on.

This kind of reckless play can easily cause serious injuries, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Chen Ping continued to read.

It has to be said that Eighteen did not collect information about Dugu Festival Nine in a rough manner, and it was not limited to collecting some public information, but it took some thought.

There are actually some descriptions of the characteristics of this self-healing exercise.

Among them is that when monks who practice this technique want to heal their injuries, they cannot heal themselves at any time.

Instead, it needs a safe environment, to completely let go of one's mind, let the primordial spirit sleep, and enter a state of selflessness, in order to achieve rapid self-healing effect.

Chen Ping carefully read the booklet several times, and wrote down all the information about the Dugu Festival Nine before burning it.

At the same time, I felt a little relieved.

In the days that followed, Chen Ping continued to practice in seclusion. On the one hand, he cultivated his skills to stabilize the realm of the ninth level of the golden core, and on the other hand, he continued to understand the magical power of the 'Chaos Judgment Sword'.

After a month of retreat, Shiba brought news of the battle with Dugu Jijiu.

The location of the battle was chosen at Jijian Peak, an independent peak of Tianyinzong.

The competition was a semi-closed competition, and only a small number of relevant monks such as the elders of the Tianyin Sect were present to maintain order on the scene.

Even if other personnel know that there is this high-profile duel, they are forbidden to watch.

As for the time of the competition, Fairy Biyuan chose 6 years later on the grounds that 'Chen Ping has just entered the ninth level of Jindan, and it will take a few years to stabilize his realm'.

This is extremely beneficial to Chen Ping.

Dugu Jijiu was affected by inner demons, and it was difficult to improve his cultivation, but Chen Ping was different, he was improving every day, and his strength was increasing every day.

After the 'six-year period' was confirmed, Chen Ping devoted himself to cultivation again.

Especially the supernatural powers, with the progress of the hole, the proficiency progress bar is increasing, and his use of supernatural powers is becoming more and more handy.

Ever since he realized this supernatural power and entered the Sword Intent Corridor of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword again, the distance he can walk in the Sword Intent Corridor has become farther and farther, and he has walked more than ten steps during this time.

There are more sword intents in enlightenment.

At the same time, a third-order late-stage monster was sent to the Monster Beast Market.

It is said to be a half-step fourth-order monster.

Under the test, the supernatural sword light can still enter the dantian of the monster, but when the monster is highly alert, the sword light will be repelled, and the sword light can still cause relatively large damage to the dantian, but there is no way to directly Crush the golden elixir.

It seems that the proficiency of supernatural powers is not enough.

In the third year of Chen Ping's retreat, a second alchemy pattern was raised on the golden elixir, which was still a perfect alchemy pattern, without any forks or branches.

now.

In the sword intent corridor, Chen Ping's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and the abundant sword intent made him feel terrified, as if there was a voice in his heart constantly persuading him to give up and surrender.

The unbearable pressure on his legs made him uncontrollably want to kneel down and surrender.

Chen Ping quickly stirred up his breath again, letting the abundance of sword intent erode his state of mind, but he insisted on the final bottom line.

This process made his mental state constantly stronger, and his understanding of sword intent became more thorough.

It also left him drenched and his legs shaking.

With scorching eyes, he didn't take half a step back, but raised his heavy leg again with difficulty to resist the sense of repulsion from the majestic sword intent in the sword intent corridor.

Take a step forward with all your might.

"Boom!"

Step down.

The spirit boots made a deep footprint on the ground, and the cyan light splashed like rain as the foot stepped down.

At the same time, countless sword intents struck in the dark and endless corridor of sword intents. Chen Ping's magic robe unexpectedly cut countless holes in this sword intent, and his body-refined skin instantly sparked a Endogenous scales.

Chen Ping ignored the wounds on his skin, and focused all his attention on comprehending a new wave of sword intent.

To understand the mystery of it.

Half an hour later, the restless sword intent in the sword intent corridor calmed down.

Chen Ping retreated decisively.

In the quiet room, he looked down at the robe on his body, which had become ragged.

Can't help laughing dumbfoundedly.

This is the seventh-order top-grade magic robe, and it is so vulnerable to this sword intent.

But this sword intent is really strong.

According to the description of the eighteen pairs of Dugu Jijiu, according to a rough evaluation and comparison, this sword intent is far stronger than that of the Lonely Jijiu.

The understanding of sword intent is at least twice as long as that of Dugu Jijiu.

From this we can also see how powerful Zhao Changxing, the original owner of the Seven Star Longyuan Sword, is.

Dugu Jijiu is a genius disciple.

As a sword cultivator, Dugu Jijiu's comprehension of sword intent is not bad.

Just this, it is not worth mentioning in front of the sword intent corridor of the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword.

Chen Ping retracted the Seven Star Longyuan Sword, and looked up at the daytime side of the fish maw that had just been lit up.

'Today is the day to fight Dugu Jijiu. '

Time is so fast!

Six years passed almost instantly.

Chen Ping got up and took the picture of the night walk of the ghosts, and asked the Xu family sisters who were guarding in the yard to go back to the stone tablet.

All these years, one of the Xu family sisters has always stayed in the yard to guard against sneak attacks, but maybe it was because Fairy Biyuan planted a backhand in the surrounding area, or maybe it was the name 'Nineteen' that confused everyone.

In these years, no one came to visit or harass the mansion.

Chen Ping tidied up the house, took out the Seven Star Longyuan Sword in his dantian in advance and put it in the storage bag, and then went out to Bixian Pavilion.

When passing by the central martial arts stage, I saw many monks watching there again.

Everyone either whispers or discusses and communicates carelessly.

"Today is the day when Dugu Jijiu and Bixian Pavilion's Nineteen will face off. I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know who will win?"

"This duel has been brewing for nearly ten years, and it is finally about to start."

"The Tianyin Immortal City has been silent for so many years, this competition should be the one that attracts the most attention."

"Who says it's not? One is Fairy Biyuan's true son, and the other is the direct disciple of the head of Yunjin Sect. Tsk tsk tsk."

"Unfortunately, it's a closed-door competition, so I can't see the scene."

"."

When Chen Ping passed by, he heard a group of people discussing together, and couldn't help but stop and watch his steps.

"Fellow Taoist, didn't you say it was a closed-door competition? What are you all doing here?" Chen Ping asked one of the female cultivators.

The nun looked at Chen Ping:

"Didn't you hear about it? The reason for the closed-door competition is that Bixian Pavilion doesn't want to be too ostentatious, and fellow Daoist Nineteen also doesn't want to show up. But it didn't say that the results of the competition are not allowed to be revealed."

"The Dugu family has long promised that they will inform everyone of the results of the competition as soon as possible."

"Here, you can immediately know who wins and loses."

I see.

Chen Ping nodded.

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't seem to know much about this matter, the nun added:

"Fellow Daoist, maybe you don't know? That Dugu Yuan is quite dissatisfied with Fairy Biyuan for giving up his son. This time the competition is almost inevitable."

"The reason why he promised to reveal the result of the competition is probably because he wanted to deliberately embarrass Fairy Biyuan after the Lonely Festival Nine won the Nineteenth."

Chen Ping understood.

In fact, even if Dugu Ape didn't publicly announce the results of this competition, it would be very difficult to not reveal any results at all.

The clever monks in Tianyin Immortal City should be able to guess a thing or two just from the performance of Dugu Jijiu after the war.

Naturally proud to win.

Losing is naturally dejected.

As a result, it doesn't make sense to keep it secret or not.

"Fellow daoist, pressure? Lose, win." One of the monks smiled and touched Chen Ping.

Before Chen Ping could speak, another monk interjected:

"What is there to gamble about? Dugu Jijiu is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Nineteen is said to be only at the ninth level of the Golden Core. The difference in strength is too great, and the outcome has already been decided."

"That's not necessarily the case. Dugu Jijiu promised to suppress the realm to the ninth level of Jindan."

"So what? It's also the ninth level of the Golden Core. It can be the state that has just entered the ninth level of the Golden Core, or it can be that the ninth level of the Golden Core is about to break through the realm of the Nascent Soul. How far is the difference between the two? The latter There is no problem in beating the former three."

"What Liang Daoyou said is reasonable. Besides, although the Dugu Jijiu suppresses the realm, Yuanying's perception and experience are all there. He has been able to stand on this martial arts stage for hundreds of years and have fought so many times. This experience is not a joke. .”

"Hey, I'm a cultivator from Tianyin Immortal City, and I basically hope that Nineteen can win. But I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"."

Chen Ping listened for a while, and the onlookers were like people watching a football match, and they were also divided into different support camps.

Some monks who came to Tianyin Immortal City with the same purpose as Dugu Jijiu preferred to watch Nineteen suffer.

However, the native monks of Tianyin Immortal City originally wanted Tianyin Immortal City, and they hoped that Dugu Jijiu would be defeated.

Of course, this is just hope.

When it comes to guessing who will really lose and who will really win, almost everyone agrees that Dugu Jijiuhui will be the last one to laugh.

"Who do fellow daoists like more?"

The nun who was talking to Chen Ping just now stood beside Chen Ping and smiled.

"I'm optimistic about nineteen." Chen Ping thought for a while.

"Oh?" The female cultivator was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "Why? Most of the fellow Taoists beat Dugu Jijiu to win. My friends also beat Dugu Jijiu to win."

Chen Ping smiled and said:

"I trust Fairy Biyuan's vision even more."

The female cultivator froze for a moment, watched Chen Ping's back who had already walked away after saying this, and did not speak.

"Eighteen is more optimistic about you, Daoist Chen."

In Bixian Pavilion, the eighteen evil spirits have their own affairs.

Chen Ping nodded:

"Thank you, I was encouraged. It would be more convincing if you pressed me to win the bet with Rong Rong."

"Ahem." Eighteen cleared his throat:

"I just bet you to win, it's that kid Rong Rong who doesn't like you."

She leaned closer:

"But having said that, I'm afraid Dugu Jijiu has already held a sigh of relief in his heart this time, a feeling of embarrassing Master after defeating you."

"He has a level higher than yours, and has much more actual combat experience than you. You should be careful in everything, and if you realize that you can't fight, you will take the initiative to admit defeat, and the master will get you out as soon as possible."

"I know." Chen Ping nodded.

Even if he really can't defeat Dugu Jijiu with a life-saving means, it is not easy for Dugu Jijiu to kill himself.

And it's all under the watchful eyes of the public.

This is also where he has the confidence to fight on stage.

"Eighteen will tell you about the situation of the Dugu Festival Nine that I have inquired about in the past few years." Eighteen chattered about the situation of the latest six years of the Dugu Festival Nine.

Including Yunjinzong's reaction and so on.

In this duel, no one from Yunjinzong came, and they didn't even bring any words of confession.

Acted somewhat indifferent.

"."

"Remember, although Eighteenth wants you to win, this matter is indeed very important to the reputation of the master. But you have to remember that life is more important than anything else, and the master is still waiting for you to double cultivation."

"."

"There is no shame in admitting defeat. Although Dugu Jijiu's character is not good, he must admit that his strength is still very strong. He has never been defeated in the martial arts arena. The monks on the second floor of Yuanying have lost to him. You lost Nothing."

"."

Chen Ping knew that Shiba was worried about his emotional upheaval during the battle.

Or he was too embarrassed to admit defeat because of the master's face, so he kept reducing the pressure on him.

Chen Ping didn't say anything, just promised with a smile.
