I will survive with proficiency

Traveling together with the beast hunter team can confuse others' vision, and if someone from the Yu family is ambushing nearby, it can paralyze the opponent to a certain extent.

On the other hand, you can ask this group of people about the situation in Guancheng.

Although the Cangqing Ancient World is far less vast than the human world, it is also boundless for Yuanying monks.

The continent where the Guan family is located is called Wei State.

The Guan family is one of the four major families in Wei.

Of course, in addition to families, there are also sects in this continent.

There are no demons here, not just demons, because it is difficult to form demonic energy, so there are almost no demon cultivators.

But that doesn't mean there's no strife here.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

What's more, it's an ancient world like the Cangqing Ancient World, which is relatively lacking in resources.

There is a certain amount of overt and covert fighting among the four major families and sects.

Specifically speaking of the Guan family and the Yu family, the territories under their jurisdiction were adjacent to each other, and they had the most people traveling between them on weekdays.

On the surface, the two families are polite, have contact with each other, and even run the market together, but secretly they have been playing tricks on each other and doing dirty things to each other.

It's almost a secret.

Even this group of casual beast hunters knew about this.

The Xiuxian City that Chen Ping is heading to now is called Ronghua City.

Because it is Xiuxian City under the jurisdiction of the Guan family, it is also commonly known as "Guancheng".

There is no need to verify your identity here and you can freely enter Xiuxian City.

After entering the city, Chen Ping discovered that the Immortal Cultivation City was much larger than he had imagined, and there were far fewer people.

The biggest difference from Tianyin Fairy City is that the caves are very far apart, the yards are also very large, and there are not too many pedestrians on the streets.

This is the first impression.

The second impression is that there are many high-level monks here.

Among the monks who appeared, the proportion of Jindan and Nascent Soul was by no means weaker than that of Tianyin Fairy City. You must know that Tianyin Fairy City is one of the largest fairy cities in the human world.

This may be closely related to the rich spiritual energy and Taoist charm of the Cangqing ancient world.

After entering the city, Chen Ping did not stay at the inn, but went directly to the city lord's mansion.

The Guan family's large army does not live in this Xiuxian City, but there are many Guan family monks in the city lord's mansion.

"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist, is Fellow Daoist Guan Xinyi from your mansion in the city?" In the entrance hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the person who received Chen Ping was a Jindan monk.

The Jindan monk looked at Chen Ping and felt a little unfamiliar. He did not directly answer Chen Ping's words, but asked:

"I dare to ask my friend, why are you looking for Aunt Guan Xinyi?" the Jindan monk said politely but not disrespectfully.

Chen Ping had already thought of an excuse:

"I am a friend of Taoist friend Xinyi. I was commissioned by her to write a book called "Journey to the West" a few years ago. Now that the book has been written, I came here specially to deliver it."

"That's it." The Golden elixir monk smiled:

"Unfortunately, Aunt Guan Xinyi is not here. I wonder if there is any unpaid balance between Aunt Guan Xinyi and fellow Taoist? If fellow Taoist just delivers the classics, I can hand them over on my behalf."

Chen Ping thought for a while and said:

"This book is very important to fellow Taoist Guan Xinyi. I have to deliver it to her in person before I can rest assured. I wonder if you can send her a message? It is said that a fellow Taoist wrote a book "Journey to the West" in Ronghua City. Wait for her."

"You can wait below."

"Of course." The golden elixir monk smiled.

After Chen Ping left the name of an inn, he said goodbye and left.

Stayed temporarily in the inn.

In the next few days, Chen Ping walked around Ronghua City to learn about prices and other conditions here.

Ronghua City is the epitome of the Cangqing Ancient World. If you understand this city, you will basically have a general understanding of the entire Cangqing Ancient World.

After a few days of getting to know each other, he found that the speed of practicing here was indeed much faster than that of the human world.

The speed of understanding spells and techniques is also faster than in the human world.

Even Tianyin Fairy City is completely incomparable to this place.

This is also the reason why there are many Jindan monks here.

This is the advantage of Cangqing Ancient World.

However, the rate of promotion from Jindan to Nascent Soul is not necessarily higher than that of large sects in the human world.

In other words, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators is not ridiculously high compared to Tianyin Immortal City.

The reason is also very simple. The resources here are far less abundant than in the human world.

Many spiritual materials, ores, animal elixirs, strange blood, etc. that are helpful in breaking through to great realms or helping monks lay the foundation are all missing here.

The ancient world of Cangqing is far less vast than the human world, which is the main reason for the lack of resources.

For example, some spiritual plants can only survive in certain extremely cold places. Because the human world is vast and has such an environment, there will naturally be such spiritual plants. But the Cangqing Ancient World is different, such an extreme environment may not exist.

Naturally, this will lead to a lack of some resources.

This is the shortcoming of the Cang Qing Ancient World.

‘The craftsmen here have special status. ’

'Especially a skilled craftsman. ’

Chen Ping discovered this feature after a few days.

Take alchemy as an example. Because there are few resources, the allowable failure rate cannot be too high.

In the human world, even if you fail to refine an elixir, you just have to collect the materials again, which is not a big problem.

But here, once it fails, the cost of collecting it again is too high.

‘It seems like I have the advantage. ’

'The superiority of my skills has been further enhanced here. ’

‘In that case, you don’t have to worry too much about the money you need to practice in the future. ’

but.

I already have a lot of money on hand, so I don’t need to rush to make money.

Before coming to the Cangqing Ancient World, he had earned 2,300 top-quality spiritual stones from Ji Ruding's master and apprentice.

After that, he and Xiyue teamed up to kill the three white-bearded Taoists, and he had already counted the belongings.

Apart from items for personal use, the remaining items should be valued at around 3,000 top-quality spiritual stones.

There are more than 5,000 top-grade spiritual stones in total (some of which are in the form of Qi Shen Dan).

Enough to last for many years.

In addition to these belongings, the white-bearded Taoist contributed two spiritual treasures.

One is the ‘Linglong Purple Gold Pagoda’.

With this magic weapon, as long as the opponent admits that what he outputs is sword intention, this intention will be sensed by the Linglong Purple Gold Pagoda and then swallowed.

No matter how strong the opponent's sword intention is.

It can simply be called the sword cultivator’s nemesis.

As for whether it can swallow other things, Chen Ping doesn't know yet.

The other item is the ‘Chaos Gong’.

The Chaos Gong is an offensive magic weapon of the Yuan Shen and is very powerful.

However, the damage to this spiritual treasure was too serious, and it was not an easy task to repair it.

In addition to these two spiritual treasures, there are also three 'immortal talismans' of certain value.

After this kind of talisman is slapped on oneself, one's aura seems to suddenly rise to a great level.

The effect is very realistic and difficult for others to see through.

Of course, it only seems to have improved to a great level, but in fact the strength has not improved.

There is some value in ‘bluffing’.

Of course, there are also a few bottles of fourth-level elixir—Yizhu Qingtian Dan.

This thing is useless.

After practicing in Ronghua City for six days, senior sister Guan Xinyi appeared in front of his guest room.

"Sister Guan, you are finally here, come into the room and say." Chen Ping welcomed Guan Xinyi into the guest room.

Seeing Guan Xinyi keep sizing up his appearance, he realized that he still looked like a fat, middle-aged monk, and immediately changed back to his original appearance.

Familiar face, familiar smell

"It's really Junior Brother Chen." Guan Xinyi's initial surprise turned into surprise:

"I said that you are the only one who can write a book like "Journey to the West" for me."

She was on a mission a few days ago. After receiving the summons, she immediately realized that it might be Chen Ping and rushed back immediately.

But in fact, she was not sure, after all, the passage between the two worlds had not been opened.

Until now I saw the real person.

Feel the familiar atmosphere.

"Why did you come to the Cangqing Ancient World? Is the master here?" Guan Xinyi once again looked at this junior brother whom he had not seen for more than two hundred years.

Not seen for more than two hundred years, the image has gotten even better.

Personable and outstanding.

And the longer you live, the younger you become.

Chen Ping didn't pay attention to Senior Sister Guan's searching eyes, and briefly explained what happened when he came from the human world.

Some details are withheld.

For example, the existence of the Luanling Burning Light Mother and Child Turtle.

After thinking about it, I didn't hide anything about the Yu family.

He just didn't say that the poisonous insect had been captured by him, but that he realized that the other party was going to poison him and escaped in advance.

After saying this, the biggest disadvantage is that the Guan family will be wary of themselves and distrust themselves.

If this is really the case, Chen Ping doesn't care.

The worst case scenario is to change places and go to other casual cultivation cities to practice incognito.

Guan Xinyi was kind to him. Telling this matter could help the Guan family to take precautions to a certain extent and avoid certain losses, which would be beneficial to the Guan family. Chen Ping did not want to hide it.

"Snapped!"

Guan Xinyi slapped his palm on the jade table and said angrily:

"How dare the Yu family go so far and stop pretending. I, the Guan family, will definitely settle this debt with them."

Guan Xinyi looked at Chen Ping:

"Do you know why they intercepted you?"

Chen Ping learned something from Lan Xiaolin, and he already had some guesses in his mind, and nodded slightly.

Guan Xinyi hummed:

"As an ancient world, the Cangqing Ancient World may not have many others, but there are many ancient ruins, and these ruins often contain a lot of resources."

"Then these ruins are usually full of strange things, each with its own killing formation. For example, some water mansions where immortals died, the Tao Yun inside is actually cursed."

"It is precisely for this reason that when the passes of the Lingxi Corridor are set up, they are usually related to ruins, in order to make the Lingxi Corridor a channel for selecting talents."

"The Yu family cut you off, obviously hoping to take you as their own and use it for their Yu family's use."

Chen Ping nodded.

While at Lingxi Corridor, he had already discovered that all the passes were related to the ruins.

"Sister, I'm curious, how did you pass through the Lingxi Corridor?" Guan Xinyi said with a smile.

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows without saying anything:

"What methods can I use? It's just that when I came to the Lingxi Corridor, Master gave me a few life-saving methods, but those things are disposable and will be gone after use."

Guan Xinyi gave Chen Ping a look of disdain.

She guessed that Chen Ping was not telling the truth.

After having been in the human world for so many years, although Chen Ping was inconspicuous most of the time, he knew that Chen Ping often accumulated a lot of experience and was by no means simple.

Never dare to enter the Lingxi Corridor without certain assurance.

He glanced at Chen Ping and said:

"When others ask, you'd better say the same thing. Otherwise, you'll be busy."

She knew that Chen Ping didn't like to take risks and had no intention of telling the truth about Chen Ping to his family.

After a pause, he said:

"Senior sister will find a suitable opportunity to resolve the matter regarding the Yu family and will not expose you."

"When you meet other people in the Guan family, it's best not to mention that you have been under house arrest by the Yu family, otherwise you may not be able to stay in the Guan family."

"I will tell my family that you arrived in the Cangqing Ancient World more than ten years ago, but you went to another country. Due to the delay of the war, you have only come to Ronghua City now. You can make up your own stories during this period."

Chen Ping felt warm in his heart.

This senior sister still had the original taste of the original recipe. She considered him to the greatest extent and eliminated the trouble in advance.

This is very heartwarming.

Who doesn't want to have a warm senior sister?

"Thank you, senior sister." Chen Ping held his hand.

After looking at Guan Xinyi, I realized that Guan Xinyi was already in the Nascent Soul realm.

When I think of realm, I immediately think of my wife.

He immediately asked:

"By the way, why didn't Lingchun and the others come with senior sister?"

When this topic was mentioned, Guan Xinyi lowered his eyes slightly, paused and said:

"Lingchun and Lingshan were both on missions and were away from their senior sisters. We didn't have time to inform them. After seeing you this time, I will send a message to them to come back as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Chen Ping breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Just stay alive.

Being alive means that they are already Jindan Zhenren.

But the next moment I realized something was wrong, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly asked:

"Where's Yun Haitang?"

Guan Xinyi sighed softly, looked at Chen Ping, and moved his mouth slightly:

"She failed to successfully form the elixir."

Chen Ping's heart thumped suddenly.

Although they had certain psychological expectations that they would not enter the golden elixir stage, when the news was confirmed, it was still difficult to accept.

My heart is unusually heavy.

There was a heart-pounding pain.

"Junior Brother Chen, please follow me." Guan Xinyi patted Chen Ping on the shoulder and walked out.

Chen Ping remained silent and followed Guan Xinyi out of the inn, entered the City Lord's Mansion, and used a teleportation array inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Finally arrived at the Xiuxian Palace, the core of the Guan family.

It was a Cultivation Palace floating in the clouds and mist, a Celestial Palace composed of dozens of independent floating islands.

After landing on one of the floating islands, Chen Ping followed Senior Sister Guan into a magnificent palace.

And finally stopped in the innermost room.

What caught Chen Ping's eyes were rows of memorial tablets.

One of the spiritual figures suddenly caught Chen Ping's eyes, making Chen Ping's heart skip a beat again.

There are only a few concise eulogies on it - 'Yun Haitang's Spirit Tablet'.

"When Fellow Daoist Yun Haitang came to the Cangqing Ancient World, Master Xiyue gave her some resources, including a complete set of Five Elements Liquid. Unfortunately, he never waited until the time to use these resources."

"She never achieved great enlightenment." Guan Xinyi introduced softly.

On the way here, she had already introduced some situations of Yun Haitang's life to Chen Ping.

When Yun Haitang and the others followed Senior Sister Guan to the Cangqing Ancient World, they had a lot of resources and didn't need to work hard for a living.

Especially the elixirs and spiritual fluids for forming pills are all complete.

For many years after that, the three of them worked hard to cultivate the elixir.

Yun Lingshan and Yu Lingchun were relatively lucky, and successfully formed elixirs one after another.

On the contrary, Yun Haitang failed to achieve great enlightenment in the end, and his more than two hundred years of cultivation career came to an abrupt end here on the ninth floor of the foundation.

"Fellow Taoist Yun Haitang's foundation must have been damaged when she was in the human world. This led to her delay in resonating with heaven and earth on her way to great enlightenment."

"She actually knew it well. Maybe she had already made this preparation when she came to the Cangqing Ancient World. She originally wanted to stay in the human world and wait for you. But she knew that if she didn't leave, Yu Lingchun and Yun Lingshan I won’t leave and will only become a burden to you, so I took the initiative to agree to come to Cangqing Ancient World.”

Chen Ping remained silent.

When he was in the human world, Yun Haitang encountered many shackles after building the ninth level of the foundation.

In order to help her successfully form the elixir, he had provided her with the Ice Body Divine Code and the nameless wine, and at the same time, he had given her all his experience in the Ice Body Divine Code.

Not only that, he also taught her a lot of spiritual insights.

On the road to success, other people’s advice can often only play a supporting role.

The most important thing is to rely on yourself.

In other words, on the road to immortality, there is not much others can do to help.

Yun Haitang was in Yunzhong City, including the later Lingxiao Sect Yuncheng. After Yun Wenting died, she shouldered the burden of the entire family.

Especially during the period before Yun Lingshan became the Foundation Builder, she was the only Foundation Builder in the entire family.

There are endless things to do.

The time of a cultivator is always limited.

Having sacrificed so much in the family, it is inevitable that there will be delays in one's own practice.

As with time, so with resources.

The opportunities are similar.

Energy is even more so.

But if you are not selfish enough in allocating your time, resources, opportunities, and energy during your spiritual journey, how can you pursue the great path?

"At that time, fellow Taoist Yun Haitang knew that there was no hope of immortality. According to Yu Lingchun, she wrote a lot of letters, recording every bit of your acquaintance with her, as if she were writing a memoir."

"But then she burned them all herself. Maybe she didn't want you to remember the past too much. In the end, she only left a letter for you."

Guan Xinyi took out a letter and handed it to Chen Ping:

"This letter was originally kept by Yu Lingchun, but whenever Yu Lingchun went to the secret realm to perform tasks, he would entrust me with some important things. Since you are here, I will leave it to you."

Chen Ping took the letter and opened it with a heavy heart.

Words are like people.

It was as if Yun Haitang suddenly came to life.

Her voice rang in his ears.

[Chen Pingwufu:]

[When I read this letter, Haitang should have returned home. Husband, please don’t be sad. Haitang wrote this letter in a happy mood. ]

[…]

[On the journey of seeking the truth, if you can meet your husband in the best years, this life is enough. Those years at Xiaozhu Peak were Haitang's happiest time in her cultivation career. She had no regrets even if she could reach the ninth level of foundation building. ]

[If possible, I hope my husband can take care of Lingshan. Haitang owes her a lot in this life. ]

[…]

[In the next life, Haitang will accompany her husband to seek enlightenment. ]

[Don’t read it. ]

[——Yun Haitangliu. ]

The letter recalled some past events, but not much.

There is not much sadness in the whole letter, only feelings of longing and blessings for Chen Ping.

The letter is short.

But Chen Ping couldn't calm down for a long time after reading it.

Since his cultivation, Yun Haitang can be said to be the Taoist companion who has accompanied him the most, more than Yu Lingchun.

When he was still at the ninth level of qi training, he met her for the first time, rode a flying sword with her, and accidentally hugged her from behind. More than three hundred years have passed since these scenes, but Chen Ping still has fresh memories. .

I never thought that when we 'meet' again, we would be separated by heaven and earth.

Over the years, I have been used to seeing life and death, and when it is the turn of the people closest to me, I feel uncomfortable.

That night, Guan Xinyi and Chen Ping sat on the floating island, looking at the stars in the sky, and chatted for a long time.

Talk about every little thing over the years.

Also chatting about every detail of Yun Haitang.

After Yun Haitang returned, her body was cremated according to her own request, leaving only the spiritual tablet.

Yun Haitang is not from the Guan family, so the spiritual tablets cannot enter the Guan family's spiritual palace. This is just a temporary storage place for the spiritual tablets on the floating island of Guan Xinyi's family.

If Chen Ping returns to the human world one day in the future, Yun Haitang's last wish is for the spirit tablet to return to the Yun family.
