The Path to Immortality

Later in the day.

Guan Ru, the female foundation-building nun who presided over the investigation operation, spread the word and decided to upgrade this temporary camp into a real lower courtyard.

Its name is: Sao Feng Lower Courtyard!

If the accompanying outer sect disciples intend to stay here, they will be given priority in appointment, and even if they have no chance, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to deacons of the House of Commons.

As soon as the news came out, although there was only a summary and many details have not yet been announced, it has already triggered heated discussions among the disciples.

There are many outer disciples who look down upon this place and dismiss it.

Does the Lower Court, which doesn’t even have first-level spiritual veins, deserve to be called the Lower Court?

But some disciples feel that they would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Anyway, there is no future in staying in Tiandu Peak, so it is better to take this opportunity to give it a try. It may not be a better choice.

Both sides held their own opinions, and the disciples in the entire camp were disturbed by this incident.

"As expected!"

The changes in the situation in just one day can be regarded as confirming Fang Ping's suspicion not long ago.

It seems that although the Luoyang Sect has temporarily stopped large-scale exploration due to the previous discovery of two spirit stone veins, the Sect has not completely given up on the Sao Feng Grand Canyon.

As Qingfeng Guan took the initiative to cling to him, the two parties hit it off.

With the help of this local sect, the Luoyang Sect seems to be preparing to officially extend its reach here.

Previously, the monk families and many casual cultivators in Xiaofeng Canyon were intimidated by the reputation of the five major immortal sects in the Liang Kingdom. In addition, the Luoyang Sect had not found the spirit stone mine in the canyon for a long time. Sooner or later, they would be defeated, so they endured it. Come down.

From the beginning to the end, he just watched with a cold eye and did not make any extraordinary move towards the exploration disciples.

But once the Luoyang Sect made it clear that they wanted to take root here, other forces in the Sao Feng Grand Canyon might not be as easy to talk to as before.

They may still dare not confront openly, but it is only a matter of time before they do something secretly and shoot some cold arrows.

In the foreseeable future, the Sao Feng Courtyard will not be too peaceful.

However, this has nothing to do with Fang Ping.

Aspiring to build a foundation, he would certainly not choose to stay in such a place lacking spiritual energy.

Therefore, he took it in stride when faced with the arguments and undercurrents in the camp, waiting patiently for the final moment of evacuation.

………

A few days later.

As all the disciples who went out to investigate returned, the five foundation-building monks began to check the disciples' mission points, and use them as a basis to reward and punish them, and by the way, they fulfilled the rewards for the top ten in the mission score list.

Since several foundation-building monks were very confident in the rewards they offered, the minimum indicators set this time were very loose.

Except for a few unlucky disciples who were seriously injured at the beginning, the other disciples, including Fang Ping, all passed the inspection smoothly.

As for the list of the top ten disciples in the mission score list, it is no surprise that it has attracted everyone's attention.

Unfortunately, three of them were already ranked, but could never receive their rewards, and unfortunately died while completing tasks outside.

As for Xie Changyuan, who ranked first in the outer sect competition and received the spirit pool tempering reward, he ran out of good luck during the last few days of exploration and was attacked by a ninth-level Qi-training monster.

Although he managed to escape in the end, his meridians and Dantian were damaged many times.

Even if he can basically recover after a year and a half of recuperation, the difficulty of foundation building will be greatly increased in the future.

But compared with those disciples who died, he was obviously not the worst.

Of course, there are unfortunate disciples, and there are also lucky ones.

The three disciples ranked after the tenth were able to take advantage of this opportunity, promoted their rankings, and received the rewards in place of the victims.

This has to be said to be a bit ironic.

But no matter what, as the rewards were fulfilled, the last task of the trip was successfully completed.

Guan Ru no longer hesitated, leaving two foundation-building monks to take charge of the overall situation here, plus more than sixty disciples who finally decided to stay, and the rest began to evacuate.

Fang Ping and other disciples finally completed this somewhat long mission.

Boarding the Camel Cloud Beast, we embarked on the journey back to the sect.

………

Tiandu Peak!

After a long journey, Fang Ping felt an indescribable sense of tranquility and security when he returned to the familiar courtyard.

And with it came a deep sense of exhaustion.

After returning from Sao Feng Canyon, the sect considered that the disciples were tired from traveling, so they finally showed some understanding and exempted them from chores for a season.

Because of this good news, after taking a bath, Fang Ping, who had nothing to worry about, almost fell asleep.

It wasn't until it got brighter the next day that I felt comfortable getting up.

After releasing Dahei from the spirit beast bag and letting it roam freely in his room, Fang Ping ate some breakfast and began to think about the next thing.

"I have been out for a month or two this time, and my cooperation with the Chen Family Dan Pharmacy has been temporarily suspended. Fortunately, I found an excuse to inform the other party before, and I can just make up for it when I come back this time. By the way, I went to Fang City to find an weapon refiner and bring the seized Chinese medicine to me. The first-grade body protection weapon [Mysterious Fire Shield] has been repaired.”

"By the way, there is also the [Dry Bones Illusion Formation], which must be repaired as soon as possible."

After making up his mind, Fang Ping did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he took out a few storage bags and carefully sorted out the various spiritual herbs collected cheaply from the Saofeng Grand Canyon.

Then he released the Yuan Cauldron and began to refine the liver elixir.

During this trip, except for the few days in the cave, he basically didn't find the opportunity to make alchemy at other times.

When the furnace was turned on again this time, Fang Ping clearly felt that his skills were a bit rusty.

The first three batches of Yuan Ning Dan failed one after another.

Fortunately, with Yuan Ding, several failures were all recalled, allowing him to quickly regain the familiar feel.

In this way, after several days of continuous busyness.

After putting the large amount of refined pills into the storage bag, Fang Ping released the flying sword and rushed to Luoyunfang.

There was nothing much to say about the handover with the Chen family pill shop. The other party briefly checked the quality of the pills and confirmed that they were as stable as before, and then enthusiastically offered the spirit stones.

Then, Fang Ping visited a shop specializing in magic tools in the market, [Refining Pavilion].

The owner of the Refining Pavilion was a refiner who had been immersed in the way of refining tools for decades.

After taking Fang Ping's [Mysterious Fire Cover] and making a brief inspection, he showed a confident look: "This mid-grade magic tool is of excellent quality. Although it is damaged, the damage is not fatal and can be completely repaired. It requires 120 spirit stones."

This price is a bit expensive, almost catching up with a low-grade magic tool.

If you find an apprentice to refine tools, it will definitely be much cheaper. But his attainments in the art of weapons are definitely not as guaranteed as those of the famous master of the weapon refining pavilion.

Fang Ping was not stingy and paid the deposit immediately.

The master of the weapon refining pavilion smiled slightly, but was not in a hurry to collect the money. He said: "I see that this middle-grade magic weapon has superb craftsmanship by the forger, and has reserved space for transformation and improvement. It would be a pity to simply repair it. It just happens that I recently got a piece of fire copper crystal. If it is integrated into it, it can improve the quality and power of this magic weapon. I wonder if you are interested?"

Fire copper crystal?

Fang Ping had heard of this material, and his mind moved: "I wonder how many spirit stones are needed? After the transformation, how much can the power of the black fire cover be improved?"
