There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 254 A short rest and introduction to the soul

Over the isolated island south of Shang'an Mansion.

Dense embroidery needles are flying all over the sky, seemingly blocking this space, but their progress is always blocked by various talismans.

As a sound of metal collided, a 'sword talisman' crossed the sky, completely cutting off the spiritual thread connecting the embroidery needles. However, the embroidery needles did not fall because of this. They independently connected to nearby embroidery needles, forming A huge formation absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and autonomously strangles all surrounding matter.

"As expected of a second-level weapon cultivator, he is truly amazing!"

Wang Ping, who was inside the 'A Talisman', let out an admiration. In his sight, everything in the world of inspiration was strangled cleanly by the formation composed of embroidery needles.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. I can feel that with your current methods, there are many ways to disable my attack formation."

Zuo Xuan, who was surrounded by dense embroidery needles, showed her figure. She first tugged on her collar with great attention to image, and then bowed to where Wang Ping was.

Wang Ping smiled and said nothing, then he pinched the magic formula with his hand, and his spiritual body connected with his soul to form a 'lucky charm'. The next moment, darkness flashed between the sky and the earth, and then all the embroidery needles in the sky lost their spirituality, and toward the Falling against the sea below.

"I saw wood spirit poison appearing out of thin air in this space. I guess this is the rumored 'luck borrowing technique', right?" Zuo Xuan was really impressed this time, and he was a little humble in it just now.

Wang Ping laughed "haha" and put away the 'Sword Talisman' that was released. At the same time, the 'A Talisman' around him also quickly dissipated, and responded: "It's just that the cost of using it is a bit high. The one just now is almost half a month's lifespan." .”

"Half a month's lifespan is just a drop in the bucket for a Wood Spirit monk!"

"But don't use it indiscriminately!"

After Wang Ping answered, he changed the subject and asked: "Go to Baishui Lake for a cup of tea?"

"it is good!"

Zuo Xuan took the initiative for the two of them to compete here. When Wang Ping came out of seclusion, he felt a strong sense of oppression, which made Zuo Xuan, a weapon cultivator, instinctively ask for a competition.

But before that, Wang Ping went to see Taoist Ziluan out of courtesy.

White water lake.

Yulian couldn't bear it when Wang Ping and Zuo Xuan were competing. When she saw that Hu Qianqian's cultivation had improved, she couldn't wait to propose the competition again.

Wang Pingze and Zuo Xuan took out their fishing rods and fished leisurely.

When Yu Lian and Hu Qianqian came back from their discussion, Wang Ping had already grilled the fish for Yu Lian, making Yu Lian so happy that she kept flipping around in the lake.

"Master, the sheep demon alchemist we are monitoring has made new progress." Hu Qianqian got down to business while Yu Lian was enjoying grilled fish.

Yu Lian had fish meat in her mouth and said unclearly: "I almost forgot about him. Is he not dead yet?"

Hu Qianqian habitually twitched his furry ears, and after looking at the fish-eating Yulian with his smart eyes, he held back his temper and continued to report: "The instrument cultivation and promotion instruments he made have been completed. There are three sets in total. Two sets were delivered to the two contact points on the first day, but they were temporary. However, we have caught their tails and it is only a matter of time before we find out the people behind them."

"The remaining set of magical instruments was given to a Jinxiu who was registered in Daozang Hall. I secretly investigated his file. Before Wulang Taoist disappeared, this Jinxiu had publicly worked with Wulang Taoist. Six cases passed.”

"I have arranged for people to investigate him secretly, and also shared the information with Taoist Wenhai."

Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain. I caught this thread. Wu Lang is always a thorn in the side. When there is news about him, unless I am at the key to promotion time, otherwise you have to tell me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"By the way, I haven't seen Wen Hai for a long time. He should be busy with promotion to the second realm now."

Hearing this, Hu Qianqian smiled and said, "Taoist Wenhai has already entered the Pingdong Gate with Master's letter of introduction. He is also a blessing in disguise. After the spiritual veins in his body are repaired, he is more active than before. I heard that he has There is a high probability that he will be promoted to the second level, and Pingdongmen is willing to pay promotion materials to help him advance."

"There should indeed be a second-level monk at Pingdongmen."

Wang Ping said this thoughtfully. As an important member of the Sanhe Watch Party on Nanlin Road, Pingdongmen's status is a bit embarrassing now. If a second-level monk is born, Wang Ping will be The power in the darkness of Nanlin Road goes one step further.

"In recent years, many people on Nanlin Road have tried to advance to the second level, but all failed without exception." Hu Qianqian looked at Wang Ping and said: "I specially asked people to investigate the records of other areas, and they have not been successfully promoted. A monk who has reached the second realm.”

Zuo Xuan said with a little ridicule: "They are all third-rate bastards who have not corrected themselves. Unless they drive themselves crazy, there is no way they can be promoted to the second level."

After teasing, she sighed: "These people will be the best cannon fodder in the future chaos. They don't understand anything, so they will move forward indomitably."

Wang Ping did not respond. This was actually his innermost plan, so he could allow more inbound monks to come to the Three Prefectures under his jurisdiction. Not only him, most of the sects with the ability to control inbound monks had such a plan. idea.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We are just drinking and fishing today." Wang Ping looked at Hu Qianqian and asked, "Where is the wine you brew here?"

"I'll go get it right now..."

...

Leisure at Baishui Lake seems to have become Wang Ping's regular relaxation program after his hard training. This time he stayed for less than half a month.

When he returned to the mountaintop dojo, he did not announce the end of the retreat. After resting for a few more days at his home dojo, Wang Ping opened the strategy panel and read it on a sunny morning, and then made a divination for himself.

Good luck!

Putting away the rice cup, he walked to the locust tree and sat down cross-legged. He first checked the integrity of the Jiuji Array, then looked at Yu Lian who was playing with water in a nearby well, and took out what Taoist Zi Luan had given him before. Two talismans.

"Si Ran's soul is not needed for the time being, so you can put it aside for now."

While muttering to himself, he put away one of the talismans, held the remaining talisman, and pointed it at the sun's rays in the sky to observe a little.

The material of this talisman is also refined from the branches of the locust tree, and it has a strong spirituality.

Before Wang Ping took out the soul guide inside, he first took out the blank talisman he made, and then manifested two sealing formations.

"What are you doing?" Yu Lian fell on Wang Ping.

"I plan to take a look at the introduction to the soul."

"It's such an interesting thing that you didn't call me."

"Aren't you right next to me?"

While chatting, Wang Ping made magic formulas with his hands, suspended the talisman he refined in front of him with spiritual energy, and then assimilated all the spiritual energy around his body into wood spirits, and then penetrated into the inside of the talisman given to him by Zi Luan.

The next moment, a gray and white, cold and sharp metal-like substance appeared in his hand. It did not move around like those magical objects in folklore stories.

It's very ordinary, but in the world of inspiration, the spiritual energy around it is gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in a blink of an eye, the gathered spiritual energy becomes as solid as liquid.

"Good stuff!"

Wang Ping stretched out his hand and used his body's inspiration to absorb the gathered spiritual energy in one breath, using it to strengthen his soul.

Yu Lian's vertical pupils were full of curiosity, "Soul Soul Introduction is like this. It uses part of the characteristics of one's own soul to guide spiritual energy for nourishment, and over time, it forms a physical object in the material world."

"It's amazing."

The snake letter she spit out was almost touching the soul guide.

Wang Ping felt the bone-chilling chill of the Divine Soul Introducer and said, "Now I have to refine it first and make it my own."

"It's simple, it only takes a few months."

"The Tongtian Talisman is drawn by it!"

"Then you have to be careful."

While talking to Yu Lian, Wang Ping relaxed his body and mind, checked the integrity of the Jiuji Formation again, adjusted the core of the Jiuji Formation to the Wood Spirit, and cleared the originally outlined formation in the core area. After it was clean, I started refining the 'Shenhun Yinzi'.

Yu Lian was right. This step was very simple. The only trouble was that during the refining process, the 'Soul Introduction' attracted a lot of spiritual energy. In order to prevent accidents, Wang Ping would stop to absorb it before continuing.

In just eleven days, Wang Ping completely refined the 'Soul Guide' to the point where it completely matched his soul. Then he fused the 'Soul Guide' with the blank talisman he had refined.

The next step is to follow the prompts on the strategy panel to build the thunder magic altar that guides the thunder tribulation. Of course, it is possible not to build it, but the cautious Wang Ping still chooses to build it.

This step costs a lot of money, because it is recorded on the strategy panel that all materials must be replaced by natural materials and earthly treasures.

Wang Ping made a careful calculation, and then he had the urge to give up.

At present, the cheapest thunder-attribute heavenly material and earthly treasure is Yang Lei ore. A pure Yang Lei stone costs about [-] taels. To arrange all the lightning magic altars, at least hundreds of them are needed.

At this cost, the prince would frown upon coming.

The most important thing is that there are at most a dozen Yang Lei stones floating on the market. It would take hundreds of years to raise hundreds of them. If they were to be replaced with other heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the price would probably double.

Therefore, after Wang Ping thought for a long time, he decided to place the Yang Lei Stone only in the main part of the Thunder Method Altar, and replace it with Thunder Gold in other areas.

Calculated this way, it would cost almost six to seven million taels of silver.

In the end, Wang Ping decided to ask Daozang Hall if there were any finished magic weapons that could protect against lightning tribulations. The answer he got was that the pagoda at the cave door was the best, but after asking Zi Luan about the price, he decided to build a lightning altar. , because he can continue to use this thing later, while the pagoda at the cave door will eat dust after being used once.

Six to seven million taels of silver, for Wang Ping, is not enough to sell iron. His own savings are enough. The last time he sold Xia Yao's "Power Pill", he made a lot of money. However, most of it was from selling money. Fortunately, the IOU was issued in the name of Royal Bank and could be traded as a banknote.
