The Path to Immortality

After exchanging a few words of greeting, Fang Ping stuffed a few spiritual stones into his hands. The originally business-like expression of the senior brother on duty immediately became much more enthusiastic.

Asked: "This junior brother, I don't know what kind of handyman you want to do? Senior brother, I can try my best to help you choose a good one."

Fang Ping thought for a while and said: "It is best to do something with low risk and short time consumption. Others are not important."

The senior brother on duty nodded, rummaged through the remaining chores for a moment, picked out three or four chores, and pointed them out to him.

After some careful consideration, Fang Ping chose one of the handymen tasks of eradicating monsters.

"Go to Weiyuan City, a deserted city in the southern part of Liang State, and assist the local cultivators of the Demon Slayer Division to kill a wandering monster [Rock-armored Lizard] in the Panlong Ridge outside Weiyuan City."

"The strength of this monster is in the middle stage of Qi training. It has amazing defense and the ability to move on the ground. Other than that, there is nothing special about it."

"Complete this chore and the sect will be rewarded with forty contributions."

This is a mission with clear mission objectives and complete intelligence.

In addition to spending some time on the road, you can kill them by rushing over.

For Fang Ping, a monk at the fifth level of Qi training and with many mid-level magical weapons in his possession, a land-based monster that had just entered the middle stage of Qi training could be said to pose no threat.

Seeing Fang Ping make a choice, the senior brother made a note in the account book, and then handed him a map and a request for help from the Liang Guo Demon Slayer Department.

"Farewell!"

After putting away the map, Fang Ping quickly left the chore hall.

The journey was still far away. After Yujian flew out of the range of Luoyang Sect, he quickly switched to the middle-grade magic weapon [Chasing Wind Boat].

After placing a few spiritual stones in the grooves and setting the direction, the boat rose into the sky and flew towards Weiyuan City in the southern part of Liang Kingdom.

………

Yunzhou is surrounded on three sides by the endless sea. There was a golden elixir monk who flew into the depths of the sea for decades and still could not see the end.

Only in the far east, deep in the forbidden area of ​​Jishi Mountain that stretches for countless thousands of miles, is it said that there is a passage connecting to the outside world.

Within Yunzhou, there are dozens of large and small dynasties supported by many immortal sects, and they are divided from each other.

Liang Guo is one of them.

Although it is not as powerful as Chen Guo, who is in the center of Yunzhou and has Yuanying Zhenren as its leader, it is still a worthy dynasty in Yunzhou.

In the world before Fang Ping's time travel, it would have been impossible for a feudal dynasty with such a vast territory to exist. That is to say, the existence of immortality in this world can maintain a minimum rule.

But even so, it was still not easy for the Liang royal family to maintain local governance.

Not to mention anything else, just the monster beasts that fled from the dangerous places in the spiritual mountains to the secular world, and the demonic cultivators that sucked people's souls and killed innocent people indiscriminately were enough to shake the foundation of the dynasty.

In order to deal with monsters and demonic cultivators, the Liang royal family was forced to establish a demon elimination department.

On the one hand, it recruits casual cultivators who have no hope of cultivating the Taoism and returns to worldly pleasures; on the other hand, it vigorously recruits warriors from the secular world, supplements it with a strong crossbow army, and uses their power to maintain its rule.

But in many cases, the demon slayer's power is also limited.

In this case, they had to ask for help from the power behind the Liang Kingdom's royal family and the five major immortal sects that occupied an absolute position in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world. Therefore, they had various monster-killing chores for the outer sect of the Luoyang Sect.

This day.

A light flying boat came from the southeast, passed through the clouds, and hovered for a moment over the deserted Weiyuan City in the southern part of Liang Kingdom.

"It should be right here."

The person coming was none other than Fang Ping.

He compared the location of the city with the nearby Panlong Ridge by referring to the fairly detailed map. After confirming that he was correct, he controlled the flying boat to lower its altitude and landed in front of the heavily guarded mansion in the center of Weiyuan City.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the city lord's palace of Weiyuan City.

"who?"

"Immortal...immortal master?"

The guards guarding the city lord's palace were surprised when they saw a small boat with a green aura descending from the sky and then suddenly disappearing. A young Taoist with extraordinary temperament appeared on the spot wearing Taoist robes.

Some people subconsciously saluted or even kowtowed; others panicked and instinctively drew out their weapons, but were immediately pushed back by their quick-sighted companions.

At this time, a black-clothed warrior with acquired perfection appeared from the city lord's palace.

As the deputy commander of the city lord's palace guard, he was just inspecting the palace when he happened to see Fang Ping falling from the sky.

He vaguely guessed the identity of the visitor, and fearing that the guards outside would be negligent and anger the immortal, he immediately used his skills and rushed out at full speed.

At this moment, seeing Fang Ping standing with his hands behind his back, his posture was leisurely, and there was a faint flash of magic power on his body, he almost subconsciously concluded that the other party was a disciple of the legendary Liang Guoxian Sect.

He showed the most respectful attitude, bowed deeply, and asked: "May I ask... Sir, are you the Immortal Master of the Sect invited by the Demon Slayer Department?"

It will be easier if you meet someone who understands.

Fang Ping nodded: "I am a disciple of the Luoyang Sect of the Five Immortal Sects. I received a request from the Demon Slayer Department of the Liang Kingdom and came to help you eradicate the monsters in Panlong Ridge."

The news is right!

After confirming the identity of the visitor, the deputy commander immediately said: "Please go to the palace to rest first, Immortal Master Shangzong. I will inform the city lord and Mr. Zhou from the Demon Slayer Division to come and see you."

Fang Ping said calmly to lead the way, and then followed the deputy commander to the living room of the City Lord's Mansion where he entertained distinguished guests.

It's not that he has to show off in front of mortals, this is mainly the experience summed up by the disciples of the sect.

Immortal masters must be superior in the eyes of mortals.

You are approachable, but they are not used to it.

Some even dared to take advantage of the Immortal Master, seeing that he was easy to get along with, and after understanding his temper, they would try to gain the Immortal Master's favor.

This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it. But for the cultivators, it is better to be arrogant from the beginning, rather than rejecting him again and again, which can save a lot of trouble.

"Please wait for a moment, Immortal Master~"

The deputy commander bowed and left the room, told his subordinates a few words, and ran to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, eight beautiful maids served tea, snacks, and fruits of all seasons.

Given the status of Luoyang Sect in Liang State, even if the secular officials of Liang State were bold, they would never dare to murder the disciples of Luoyang Sect.

Even if someone really lost his mind, Fang Ping did not think that there was any poison in the secular world that could threaten the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training, not to mention that he had the top-grade Qingxin Pill that he had personally refined.

But he still did not make any move.

Not only because of caution, but also because these are just mortal food after all, without spiritual energy.

No matter how much you eat, it can only satisfy your appetite, which is not good for your cultivation.

A moment later.

Several hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Soon, a burly, straight-looking middle-aged man walked in quickly.

Following closely behind him was an old man with luxurious clothes and only the third level of Qi training.

If nothing unexpected happened, the other party should be a casual cultivator recruited by the Liang Kingdom Demon Extermination Bureau.

Fang Ping did not deliberately conceal his aura, and with the Luoyang Sect inner sect disciple's clothes on his body, the old man only took a glance and confirmed Fang Ping's identity and cultivation.

He immediately stepped forward to greet him and said: "Liang Kingdom Demon Extermination Bureau second-class guest official, casual cultivator Bai Lingzi, greets the disciples of the upper sect! The immortal has come, and I am really terrified that I failed to welcome you from afar."
