There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 220
  Of course, Wang Ping and Taoist Yucheng could not tell Yang Hou the truth, after all, this matter involved too much.

What Yang Hou needs to be responsible for is to use the internal affairs spies in Shangjing City to find out Liu Zixiu's travel routes in recent months, and to investigate the people he came into contact with on these routes one by one.

It's a lot of work, but necessary.

When Wang Ping returned to the dojo on the top of the mountain, he sat in front of the old locust tree and entered meditation. He had actually been prepared for the death of his second senior brother Liu Zixiu, so he didn't feel much sadness in his heart. Instead, he felt regret and longing for the death of his relatives.

He was even more annoyed by the chaotic situation. Today's Zhongzhou is a big chess game, and anyone may drop a piece on the chessboard. If Wang Ping and Taoist Yucheng drop a piece, others will attack or defend.

Yu Lian's huge body was wrapped around the old locust tree. After quietly looking at Wang Ping for a while, she quietly rose up into the clouds and landed in the nearby courtyard. Her eyes fell on the newly established small martial arts training ground outside the courtyard.

Wang Yang's "Changchun Gong" has been practiced to a certain extent, and Shen Xiaozhu has also benefited a lot from the process of teaching him.

Five days later, in the morning, Wang Ping woke up from his trance and looked at the familiar beauty in the garden. He took a deep breath and felt the real touch of air flowing in his lungs. Then he stood up and looked up at the sky.

"Are you okay?" Yu Lian asked.

"Yes, I plan to visit the Southeast Islands. It's not convenient for Master and I to show up in the capital, but there should be no problem with fellow Taoist Xia Yao. I believe she must know something." Wang Ping looked at Shen Xiaozhu who was meditating and washing his marrow. , "Maybe she is waiting for me to come over."

While he was talking, he walked into the small courtyard, took out a piece of fine rice paper inlaid with brocade from his storage bag, and first wrote a greeting note to Xia Yao, but after writing the letter, he found that there was no suitable sender.

Liu Shuang was performing the task of Daozang Palace, and there was definitely no way to escape. Wang Li had been eliminated, Su Hai had already led his army north, and as for the two in the courtyard, they were not qualified to go out alone.

Yulian saw Wang Ping's thoughts and said with a smile: "You can give the letter to Zihong first and let him send it to Xia Yao."

"good idea."

Wang Ping's eyes lit up. Zihong's identity was his registered disciple, and his strength was considered invincible during the foundation period. In theory, there was no problem for him to deliver the message.

So, he summoned a puppet bird, placed the written letter neatly on the puppet bird's belly, and gave the puppet bird some memories to convey to Zihong.

When the puppet bird flew into the sky and disappeared, Shen Xiaozhu also finished the day's marrow cleansing. With her current qualifications of medium-level bones, she can perform marrow cleansing six times a day, and it is estimated that she can complete this step within fifteen years.

Shen Xiaozhu is now forty-two years old, and completing the marrow cleansing has already taken him a lifetime. If nothing unexpected happens, he can start building the foundation before he is ninety years old.

"With her calm temperament, I think she can practice the "Taiyan Talisman"." Yu Lian noticed Wang Ping's gaze and said good things for Shen Xiaozhu.

Wang Ping nodded. Shen Xiaozhu has a calm temperament, neither arrogant nor impatient, and is calm enough when encountering problems. However, he is too persistent in the path of cultivation. Sometimes this persistence is a good thing, and sometimes it is a bad thing.

Over the years, Wang Ping selected some Taoist classics for her to read. Her persistence has improved somewhat, but it is far from what Wang Ping expected.

"Wait until she completes the marrow cleansing. If she can really keep her heart, I will find a way to improve her bones." Wang Ping said his plan.

Yu Lian nodded and said: "She knows what she wants, so she can control her heart and self. However, her biggest problem is that she knows what she wants too well. After more than ten years of practice, she has become better. After the marrow cleansing is completed, we can let her go out to practice for a period of time, and treat her as entering the world to practice again."

"it is good!"

Wang Ping walked back to the courtyard, and Wang Yang, who was cleaning the courtyard, immediately bowed and saluted.   …

Xia Yao's reply was very fast. Less than half a month after Wang Ping sent the letter, someone from the Linshui Mansion came to hand in a reply. It was also a royal princess named Xia Ying, who had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Her outfit was almost exactly the same as the Xia Yao in Wang Ping's memory, and her emotional state was also very close. If Shuiling hadn't been bad at making puppets, Wang Ping would have thought that this Xia Ying was also a puppet made by Xia Yao using himself as a template.

After Wang Ping read the reply, he wrote another letter for Xia Ying to take back. In this letter, he stated that he would visit her within three months.

After sending Xia Ying away, Wang Ping summoned Hu Qianqian and Zuo Xuan to his mountaintop dojo.

"The situation is complicated recently. You should be more careful in your actions, especially Taoist friend Zuo Xuan. You must be careful about who Daozang Temple can trust and how you trust it. Also, unless necessary, you should not go out of Nanlin Road for the time being."

Wang Ping asked seriously.

"kindness…"

Zuo Xuan nodded, glanced at Hu Qianqian beside him, and said, "I don't think you, fellow Taoist, need to make this trip. After all, Wulang's matter has not been resolved yet."

"Our chess pieces have fallen into the open, so some things must be done, otherwise we will be even more passive." Wang Ping took out a secret letter while speaking, and told Zuo Xuan: "You must hand over this letter in person. In Zi Luan’s hands.”

Zuo Xuan looked at the letter handed to Wang Ping, stepped forward to take it and said, "Since fellow Taoist has a plan, I can't say anything else."

Wang Ping turned his attention to Hu Qianqian again, "No matter what problems occur, the Wudao Mansion cannot cause chaos. If you have any questions, you can ask fellow Taoist Zuo Xuan or Yang Hou in the inner courtyard to discuss it."

"Yes!" Hu Qianqian agreed.

"Is there still no news about the alchemist?" Wang Ping asked.

"Yes, he has been in retreat recently, specializing in making commissions for the first day. Those of those we later monitored seemed to have been abandoned by the first day."

"Being so cautious... means there is a big fish." Wang Ping immediately ordered: "Continue to monitor. If this big fish does not pose a threat to us, don't go too deep. If there is a threat, deal with it decisively, but it is best not to expose us. The best way is to use the means of Daozang Hall, such as Taoist Taoist Taishan on Ningzhou Road, or Taoist Ziluan."

"Yes!" Hu Qianqian nodded in response.

Wang Ping glanced at Zuo Xuan again and said with a smile: "Remember, from this moment on, everything you do represents the prince. This is the most important point. When I am not around, you can report to me all matters big and small. Fellow Taoist Ziluan reports."

Hu Qianqian and Zuo Xuan were both stunned.

"Yes!"

Both of them are smart people, and they immediately thought of the meaning contained in it. Neither of them are rigid people, but they adapted to it in a moment.

Wang Ping is not worried that Zi Luan will take the opportunity to bribe the two of them. This is unnecessary, because Wang Ping is a member of his line, and it would be too ugly to win over Wang Ping's subordinates. With Zi Luan There is a high probability that he will not be able to develop his character, but sometimes he may provoke him because of his personal bad taste.
