There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 204 Return to Nanlin Road

On a forest path.

After re-disguising themselves and concealing their auras, Wang Ping and Shen Xiaozhu were like two people traveling around the world riding fast horses.

Yulian's parents never appeared again, and no other spirit snakes came to see Yulian. Yulian said that this was her mother's intention, because the spirit snakes had many bad habits, and her mother was worried about Yulian and her kind. Staying together for too long would be detrimental to her current practice.

How should I put this? Yu Lian's mother has been practicing in the human world since she was a child. She may not be used to the wild nature of the spirit snake clan in some aspects, such as laziness, greed, and always being naughty.

Yu Lian's only disappointment was that she failed to fight against her own race. Before she came to Gray Water Pond, she had always fantasized about the feat of defeating all her race and being elected as queen by her race.

six days later.

Wang Ping entered Yunhai City in the northern part of Hushan Kingdom.

This city has no city walls because it is built on an inland lake. Apart from the sky, the only access to the city is stone bridges on all sides. Each person needs two coins to enter the city, and their weapons must be registered.

After experiencing the pursuit, Wang Ping did not intend to return to Shangdan Sect. After exchanging letters with Taoist Yuan Zheng, the two decided to meet here, and then Wang Ping would find a way to return to Xia Kingdom.

After entering the city, Wang Ping did not immediately go to the agreed-upon rendezvous place. He first found an inn and asked for two private rooms in the backyard on the pretext of waiting for someone, and then sent old Jianghu Shen Xiaozhu to inquire for information.

Three days and one night later.

Wang Ping was in his wing, waiting for Yuan Zheng to come over in the dark at midnight.

"You are so cautious, kid."

Taoist Yuan Zheng leaned against the door of the wing, so that his shadow would not be printed on the window. After teasing Wang Ping, he continued: "I have heard about you. It is said that you have been miraculously spread all over the country. More than a dozen second-level monks chased him, and finally killed half of them."

"For your sake, I almost turned over the inner and outer doors, and I was actually asked to dig out some things. It's considered a small feat, and I owe you a favor." Yuan Zheng turned his eyes to the lights in the room. Go up, and then said a little funny: "You still give me this illusion..."

"It doesn't matter if we communicate like this." Wang Ping replied.

"Okay, I understand."

Taoist Yuan Zheng said with a wry smile: "It seems that you don't need the exit route I prepared for you?"

Wang Ping nodded and changed the subject: "What happened before? Does my share still count?"

He was asking about the Sacred Heart Grass.

"Don't worry, I have obtained a good bottle of Sacred Heart Pill or five Sacred Heart Grasses for you. Oh, by the way, Sun Shulin, who is with you, is asking someone to find you. He seems to have a Sacred Heart Plant. I’ll leave the grass to you.”

Wang Ping was startled and blurted out: "Is he so honest?"

"He is indeed a real person. I haven't seen someone like him for a long time." Taoist Yuan Zheng said with a smile: "I kind of want to develop him into a party member."

"Yes, but it needs to be investigated."

"What to do with his Sacred Heart Grass?"

"I'm writing a handwritten letter. Please help me accept the Sacred Heart Pill, and I won't show up." Wang Ping pointed to the bed under him as he spoke, "I also have three Sacred Heart Grasses under the bed. You help me practice the Sacred Heart Pill together."

"Okay, with the bead from Sun Shulin, I can barely make another bottle. Let me give you two bottles of Sacred Heart Pill." Taoist Yuan Zheng said generously.

Wang Ping nodded and said: "After refining the elixir, entrust it to the people from Daozang Palace to escort it. I will pay for it."

"no problem!"

"You guys fought really hard this time. What was the specific situation?"

"Those lunatics at Tianshui Gate robbed the Sacred Heart Grass of the Yuqing Sect, and also took away the nine-story exquisite tower that the Yuqing Sect had placed in the camp, causing serious injuries to a third-level monk of the Yuqing Sect."

Yuan Zheng spoke hurriedly, with excitement on his face, "There is a good show this time. Tianshuimen will definitely be removed from the list, and most of the mountain gates will be razed to the ground. The most unlucky ones are the ordinary disciples, who have no idea about this." I don’t know.” Wang Ping also had mixed emotions after hearing this. After a long silence, he said, “That’s it for now. See you at the party.” After saying this, his figure became illusory and disappeared into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

Taoist Yuan Zheng laughed out loud when he saw this. In practicing this path, caution is a virtue, and suspicion is also a virtue.

...

In a small courtyard about a mile away from the inn, Wang Ping decisively cut off the connection with the illusion after finishing Yuan Zheng's conversation.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yulian's shining eyes in the darkness.

"How is it?" Yulian asked.

"It should be trustworthy. Yuan Zheng has no reason to deceive us." Wang Ping commented.

"But you still don't seem to trust him."

"This has nothing to do with trust. I just don't want to put my life in other people's hands." Wang Ping stood up and looked at Shen Xiaozhu who was cautiously guarding the door under the moonlight. This small courtyard was rented by Shen Xiaozhu. , she is indeed very reliable in her work.

One night, Wang Ping was sitting in the small courtyard, Shen Xiaozhu kept guarding the door, and Yu Lian lay on Wang Ping's shoulder and fell asleep.

Then he stayed in the courtyard for another seven days before quietly letting Shen Xiaozhu check out.

A month and a half later.

Wang Ping successfully set foot on the boundary of Nanlin Road. He no longer kept a low profile in this area. He directly projected his identity card into the air, picked up Shen Xiaozhu and headed towards the Daozang Hall of Jinhuai Mansion.

During the month and a half he was on the road, he secretly sent messages to all parties through the transmission channel of Daozang Palace and the inner courtyard of Qianmu Temple, asking them to strictly investigate the leak and have a brief communication with Taoist Ziluan.

When entering Daozang Hall, Wang Ping changed back to his original appearance, and Shen Xiaozhu also changed back to his original appearance.

backyard.

In the main room of Ziluan Courtyard.

Wang Ping and Zi Luan sat on both sides of the main table of the Eight Immortals. In the middle of the room, Wen Hai carefully reported what he had investigated during this period, and then Shen Xiaozhu repeated what the shopkeeper had told her...

"The shopkeeper made it clear that the one who wants to kill the master this time is Wu Lang from Nanlin Road. He also said that there is something wrong with the hidden wire used by the master in the Daozang Hall on Nanlin Road."

After Shen Xiaozhu finished talking about the matter, he emphasized these two sentences, because when the shopkeeper entrusted her with this matter, he clearly said that these two pieces of information were very important and she must bring them.

After hearing this, Zi Luan's eyes fell on Wen Hai, but he was probably not looking at Wen Hai, but thinking about the things inside. Then he turned to look at Wang Ping, "Fellow Taoist, you are safe this time, don't worry. , this matter is not over yet, since they took action first, even if we kill Wu Lang by then, Junior Brother will have nothing to say."

After saying this, he looked at Wen Hai again.

Wen Hai quickly raised his hands and said, "Taoist Wulang has lost his trace. I guess he won't dare to come out in the short term."

"Then look for it and pry it from the mouths of those around him. Don't be anxious. We can play this game slowly."

His unique smile appeared on Zi Luan's face again, "Everything you do during the journey of cultivation has its own purpose. People like him will definitely not make fun of their own lives, but the more cautious they are, , sometimes the flaws will be revealed, such as this time..."

He looked at Wang Ping and said, "Don't worry, no matter who he is, he has weaknesses. I will continue to fund this matter until he catches Wu Lang's tail."

Wang Ping responded immediately: "The funds do not need to come from Daozang Palace..." He looked at Wen Hai, "How much does this cost? Come to Qianmu Temple to find me."

"I almost forgot again. Fellow Taoist from Changqing, you are worthy of this little money." Zi Luan walked down the slope, and Wen Hai could only bow silently.

Sometimes, the more peaceful the world is, the more expenses there are. The biggest problem of Daozang Palace in recent decades is funding, otherwise Taoist Ziluan would not put his idea on the heads of rich households everywhere.
