Chapter 75: The eighth level of Qi training

The following days.

Shen Ping turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He made talismans, practiced dual cultivation, meditated, and accompanied his mother every day. Occasionally, he would refine some small puppets to try his hand. Although the life of cultivation was repetitive and boring, it could sometimes be more interesting.

In this way, time quietly came to April of the following year.

The warm air makes the Yunshan Mountains look green.

There is a sense of spring in the air throughout the market town.

In a quiet room.

After finishing the practice.

Shen Ping touched his cheek and found an extra line of skin texture. Before he knew it, he was already forty-nine years old.

Open the virtual panel.

[Your wife is deeply in love, current favorability is 100+100]

[Dual Cultivation Bonus: 8]

[Silver bonus: 10]

[Talisman Master: Second-level Lower Grade (130684/15w)]

…

[Current Taoist Companion Favorability: 100]

[Dual Cultivation Bonus: 4]

[Gold Spiritual Root: Top Grade (48747/5w)]

[Wood Spiritual Root: Top Grade (48639/5w)]

…

Just a quick scan.

His eyes fell on the virtual frames belonging to Wang Yun and Bai Yuying.

The art of talismans and spiritual roots were not far from breaking through to the next level, but no matter how he accompanied and cared for them in various ways, their favorability had not changed at all.

Step out of the quiet room.

He left the deserted Yunhe Lane and came to the market town. The main street was no longer bustling with cultivators. During this period, more and more cultivators ran to the ruins of the cave in the Yunshan Swamp. It was heard that the second and third levels of the cave appeared. The deeper they went, the more precious the treasures became.

I haven’t reached the Zhenbao Building yet.

Not far from the market town, a large flying boat came quickly and landed at the edge of the market town.

"It's a flying boat!"

"Yunshanfang has another flying boat!"

"He must have resumed contact with the main sect!"

The monks became excited.

Shen Ping also showed a look of joy. He hurried to the outer gate deacon hall and wanted to ask whether the flying boat had been restored, but it was obvious that there were cultivators who were more anxious than him.

"What? Not recovered yet!"

"Aren't there flying boats coming in from outside?"

The monk inside said anxiously.

The deacon said slowly, "The news of the cave ruins appearing in the Yunshan Swamp has spread throughout the Wei Kingdom. In the near future, flying boats will be used to transport monks to explore the ruins."

The monk asked again: "When will it be restored?"

“It has not been determined yet.”

Hearing this.

The smile on Shen Ping's face disappeared. He looked up at the azure sky of Fangshi, and subconsciously said in his mind, "This is really because you don't want people to leave!"

With a heavy heart.

He came to the second floor of Zhenbao Building.

"Master Shen Fu, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing, Fellow Daoist Mu, will the flying boat from Zhenbao Tower still come here every month?"

"right."

Mu Jin glanced at Shen Ping, seemed to guess his thoughts, and hesitated and said, "Master Shen Fu, you are a guest official of Zhenbao Tower. No matter what happens, as long as you are in Zhenbao Tower, you will be safe. There is no need to worry too much."

"Moreover, I recently heard from Shopkeeper Ding that in a few days, a Yuanying elder from Zhenbao Tower will likely come to take charge of this place."

Shen Ping was shocked, "The Yuanying elder is coming? Is it for the ruins cave?"

"Maybe."

Mu Jin smiled sweetly and suddenly changed the subject, "There seems to be a small courtyard vacant over in Qinghe Lane. If Master Shen Fu has time, would you like me to take you to have a look?"

Shen Ping didn't react for a while, until Mu Jin stood up and walked out of the private room, her round curves becoming more and more blurred, he finally sensed her charm and thought to himself, "Fellow Daoist Mu is still very advanced!"

He hurriedly got up and chased after him.

But Fellow Daoist Mu had already reached the corner of the wooden stairs. She turned sideways with a sly look in her eyes, "Master Shen Fu is not in good condition today. Let's do it next time."

He couldn't help but laugh.

After this little episode, my mood has improved a lot.

"Yuanying Elder."

"If there really is such a strong person in charge, we can be safe."

"As for Qinghe Lane... we have to consider moving!"

Shen Ping began to think.

Qinghe Lane has an elegant and quiet environment. It is inhabited by top-grade alchemists and cultivators at the foundation-building stage. It is much safer than other lanes, and it is rare to find vacant courtyards. Since Mu Jin mentioned it, I guess there must be an empty house recently.

"I have to ask."

"If it really exists, then rent this small courtyard first."

Yunhe Lane has a rare spiritual vein that aids in spiritual practice, but it is crowded with people and has a limited number of residents. It is also far from the Zhenbao Tower, and if the market becomes completely chaotic, this distance will be a hidden danger.

Think of this.

He hurriedly sold talismans in Zhenbao Building, then bought spiritual liquid and elixir, and then came to the Deacon Hall again.

"You came by chance."

"Some time ago, the tenant of a small courtyard in Qinghe Lane stopped renewing the lease. You can pay the rent now and come back in mid-June to get the wooden sign."

Shen Ping went through the formalities without hesitation.

Exit the Deacon Hall.

He felt completely relaxed. As long as he could move into Qinghe Lane, he wouldn't have to worry too much no matter how chaotic the market was, because Qinghe Lane was not far from Zhenbao Tower and could be reached by walking through only two or three streets.

…

More than a month passed quietly.

No matter how lively the Yunshan Swamp Ruins were, Shen Ping didn't pay any attention to it. He seemed to have completely forgotten about the matter and stayed in the house to practice peacefully.

It was late at night.

The stars are shining brightly, and the light is scattered everywhere.

Inside the house.

As the sound of the bed shaking disappeared.

Shen Ping glanced at the panel.

The words "breakthrough possible" appeared behind the dual spiritual roots of gold and wood.

His face lit up with joy, and he comforted his wives and concubines before quickly leaving the main room.

Go to the quiet room and sit cross-legged.

Look at the virtual box.

"breakthrough!"

boom.

The virtual frame vibrated.

The quality of the dual-element gold and wood spiritual roots suddenly transformed, as if some mysterious force was forcibly infusing them. After the quality of the spiritual roots transformed, the total amount of spiritual energy that the dual-element spiritual roots could hold seemed to have changed from a stream to a spacious river.

Buzz~ Almost instantly.

The spiritual power in the Dantian will automatically start to operate the exercises, transferring from the meridians to the spiritual roots and finally forming a circulation cycle, with the speed of operation increasing dramatically.

Shen Ping quickly immersed himself in this state of cultivation.

one day.

Two days.

…

Five days passed.

He actually completely absorbed and digested the remaining spiritual fluid in his body, and the absorption efficiency and speed increased by five or six times compared to before! Open your eyes.

Shen Ping couldn't help showing excitement on his face.

The speed of cultivation of the top-grade spiritual roots exceeded his expectations.

"continue!"

Sensing the spiritual power that was about to be filled in his Dantian meridians, he swallowed the elixir and spiritual liquid without hesitation, closed his eyes again and continued to meditate and practice. This time he wanted to break through directly to the eighth level of Qi training.

And just when Shen Ping was practicing wholeheartedly.

The third level of the cave in the Yunshan Swamp ruins was finally opened after burying thousands of monks.

whoosh.

The entrance blasted open instantly.

Rays of light leaped out from the entrance.

“It’s a spiritual magic weapon!”

"Wait... that's the Blood Sea Scripture, the cultivation method that the Blood Crocodile Ancestor used when he was alive. Haha, I didn't expect that this method is actually in the cave!"

"Get out of here!"

"All the magic weapons and scriptures belong to me!"

The elders of many sects, such as Rakshasa Demon Valley, Hehuan Sect, Danxia Sect, etc., all had red eyes when they saw the flying magic weapons, spiritual magic weapons, volumes of exercises, elixirs, rare treasures, etc.

The Blood Crocodile Ancestor was once a powerful cultivator who dominated the world. He collected a lot of treasures, and now all of them will be given to their sects.

…

Early June.

Quiet room.

Waves of strong spiritual energy spread out.

Shen Ping, who had been practicing in seclusion for more than 20 days, suddenly opened his eyes and sensed the spiritual power in his Dantian meridians, as well as the improvement of his flesh, blood and bones. He couldn't help but sighed: "The absorption efficiency of the top-grade spiritual roots is really powerful. I broke through to the eighth level of Qi training so quickly!"

Although there are auxiliary effects from elixirs and spiritual liquids.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But it has only been more than a year since the last breakthrough.

This is the late stage of Qi training! He stood up.

I can hardly contain my excitement.

Once you pass the eighth level of Qi training, you are not far from building your foundation.

While walking.

Shen Ping became more and more excited.

After wasting twenty years, I have no choice but to bow to fate and no longer hope to build a foundation.

Yet only seven years have passed.

He then had the possibility to climb towards building his foundation.

This is the difference between before and after.

It suddenly gave him a sense of unreality.

"no."

"I have to do something."

Step out of the quiet room.

Seeing his wives and concubines waiting outside, Shen Ping immediately knew what he should do.

"Yun'er."

"Ying'er."

"Qing'er."

He flicked his sleeves and said softly, "Wash yourself and wait for me in the main room. We must celebrate today's breakthrough. Remember to put on perfume powder."

Wang Yun's cute face now had a hint of maturity. She saluted with excitement and said, "It's my husband."

"Husband, please hurry up."

Bai Yuying squinted mischievously and followed Wang Yun to the kitchen to clean.

Luo Qing sighed. She had guessed it would be like this. She replied weakly, "Yes, husband. I'll be there later."

moment.

The main room is filled with spring light.

It was not until the evening that Shen Ping finally felt at peace. After resting for a while, he went to the talisman-making room to concentrate on making talismans.

Two days later.

Shopkeeper Ding sent a message: "Come to Zhenbao Tower immediately."

Shen Ping asked what was the matter, but Manager Ding did not respond. He packed up hastily and rushed to Zhenbao Tower in the market town.

It was rare to see no monks entering or leaving the door.

Step over the threshold.

Mu Jin and several other receiving monks stood respectfully on both sides.

Shopkeeper Ding and the guests were also waiting in the backyard.

See this scene.

Shen Ping vaguely guessed something. He quickly walked to the backyard and stood next to Cui Keqing, Ruan Keqing and Luo Keqing.

I waited for about half an hour.

A gentle voice came from inside the house: "Come in, all the guests."

Suddenly.

The third, second, and first class guests walked into the main hall one after another.

What surprised Shen Ping was that the main hall was much more spacious this time, enough to accommodate hundreds of monks standing.

now.

The Jindan elders, foundation-building guests and others all faced forward respectfully.

There was a middle-aged man in a purple robe sitting there with a smile on his face.

"Yuanying Elder."

He had the answer in his heart.

There was not a trace of magical power on the purple-robed man. If it were not for his eyes that contained endless attraction, other cultivators would have thought he was just an ordinary person.

"Something has changed in Yunshan Swamp."

"The headquarters of the company specially sent me here to take charge."

"Everything in the building remains the same as usual. If there are any arrangements, I will notify you separately. Get out!"

The voice fell.

Shen Ping and the other guests turned around and left, returning to the courtyard. They suddenly realized that only those words were left in their minds, and they could not remember the appearance and breath of the Nascent Soul Elder.

"Is this the Nascent Soul cultivator?"

He took a deep breath and quickly suppressed his inner yearning.

The Nascent Soul is too far away from him now.

moment.

Come to the contribution room on the second floor.

He hesitated and exchanged it for a Dingyan Pill. It would be mid-June in a few days. Once he got the wooden sign for the courtyard, he would have to start moving. He would never see that witch again.

…

Return to Yunhe Lane in the afternoon.

Shen Ping stood at the door of house number four and shouted a few words, but there was no response from inside. He didn't care and continued to move forward. As expected, the formation restriction did not block him.

Open the door.

It's empty inside.

There is a special piece of paper in the main room.

Look at the font on the paper.

He seemed to see the innocent Chen Ying writing.

"Hmph, you despicable old talisman master, how could you hide your little thoughts from me? Don't worry, I won't pester you to continue the transaction, but the premise is that you'd better leave the Dingyan Pill in the house, otherwise I, Chen Ying, will definitely turn you into a demon puppet."

"Besides, I am not worth a few Dingyan Pills right now. I will be fine later. Hum... just wait and see!"

Shen Ping smiled faintly.

Then he took out the box containing the Dingyan Pill and placed it on top of the paper.

Turned and walked to the door.

He paused, and the image of Chen Ying, who liked to sit barefoot by the wooden window in a daze, appeared before his eyes. He said silently in his heart, "Witch, goodbye!"

…

As mid-month approaches.

Shen Ping became restless and irritable. He knew that his temperament was still not calm enough. Thinking of Master Feng Dan who was about to move out of here, and who was also going to move out of Yunhe Lane next door, he simply stopped meditating and making talismans, and instead went for a walk in the courtyard with his wives and concubines every day.

Master Feng Dan has been like this these days.

He sits at the doorstep every day basking in the sun with a gentle smile on his face. He has completely let go of his worries and his physical, mental and spiritual state has become more natural.

However, sometimes I still comment on the situation in Yunshanfang.

“The inquirer hasn’t come back yet.”

"It's not so easy to get the things in the ruins cave!"

Master Feng shook his head repeatedly. "I heard that some time ago, the third floor of the cave was opened, and as a result, all the elders of the major sects were trapped inside. Now, they are seeking help from outside... Tsk tsk, in the end, it's all about greed."

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Master Feng, where are you moving to this time?"

"Quliu Lane!"

Hear this answer.

Shen Ping was startled and couldn't help but say, "Master Feng, Quliu Lane is not in the market town. Although it is very close to the main road outside the market town, it will be difficult to guarantee safety if the market town gets in chaos."

Master Feng Dan slowly waved his magic feather fan, "I understand. Actually, I was planning to grit my teeth and find a spacious house in another alley in the market to live in. But when I was making the decision, I heard something. In Ningshui Alley, two houses were destroyed during a fight between independent cultivators. As a result, the Jinyang Sect's law enforcement patrol team came directly and killed the independent cultivators with thunder!"

“The speed and efficiency are amazing!”

As he spoke, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of sarcasm, "The law enforcement patrol team turned a blind eye to the chaos in the market, and they were more anxious than anyone else when the houses were damaged."

Shen Ping smiled silently.

Jin Yang Zong indeed attaches much more importance to houses than anything else.

However, as he was laughing, he suddenly frowned, looked at Master Feng and asked, "Why does the Jinyang Sect attach so much importance to the wooden house?"
