There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 276 Simplicity and Complexity
  Wang Ping didn't react. He couldn't help but think of the wooden box containing Wu Lang's head in the storage bag.

After being silent for a few breaths, he laughed out loud like Leng Kezhen.

Thinking that he had not been promoted, was not in charge of the comfort envoy, and did not have the title of third seat, he tried his best to find out the whereabouts of Heng Yan and Wu Lang.

But in the end, he got nothing. After being promoted to the third level, he didn't even say a word. What he wanted was simply delivered to his door.

Leng Kezhen, who was opposite, saw Wang Ping laughing, and her laughter became even louder.

"It's so sad that he put so much effort into it and put his whole life on it."

Wang Ping detected a touch of wood spirit energy to make sure it was indeed Li Yan, and then said to Yu Lian: "Go and ask the master to come."

Yulian immediately rose into the sky.

Leng Kezhen stood up, and while bowing to Wang Ping, she took out a palm-sized silver-white mirror and handed it to Wang Ping respectfully.

Wang Ping was not polite. He stretched out his left hand and flicked it, and the mirror appeared in his hand. It felt smooth when he held it. When his soul consciousness penetrated it, he found that the internal structure inside was very complicated, just like that of a magic soldier. The internal structure is the same, with infinite expansion, so that he can't see the end.

On the back of it are circles of mysterious lines and patterns, which converge in the middle to form the word "Dongtian". This seems to be a man-made magic weapon, rather than a naturally formed magic weapon.

At this time, a stream of light fell next to Wang Ping. Taoist Yucheng showed his figure, looked at Wang Ping, then looked at Leng Kezhen, and asked in a cold voice: "Where is Li Yan?"

His aura was aggressive, without the humility and gentleness of the past.

Yu Lian, who landed on Wang Ping, saw Yu Cheng's appearance. She was a little scared and skillfully got into her sleeves, leaving only her little head exposed for observation.

"This is..."

Leng Kezhen knew who the visitor was when Wang Ping stood up and saluted. He also saluted and pointed to the wooden box placed on the edge of the chessboard and repeated: "Here is..."

"click"

The wooden box shattered directly, and Yucheng's hands were surrounded by the wood spirit energy. He couldn't wait to pick up the head and placed it in his hands. His eyes were staring at the pale face. At this moment, the head was oozing blood due to the release of the seal. Most of the Taoist robe on Yucheng's chest was dyed red.

Taoist Yucheng didn't notice it at all. He stared at Li Yan's pale face, suddenly laughed out loud, and then said to himself:
  "This can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect. He has exhausted all his mechanisms and hid underground for hundreds of years in order to survive without daring to show up. Didn't you expect that he would lose his life in this way?"

His laughter was a bit unpleasant, maybe because he hadn't laughed so wildly for a long time, but after more than ten breaths, he stopped smiling, looked at Wang Ping beside him, and said, "I'm sorry, teacher."

"What did Master say?"

"I will take this head away first, and I will read the memory inside."

"Of course!"

Wang Ping nodded.

Taoist Yucheng looked at the Dongtian Mirror in Wang Ping's hand, and Wang Ping handed the Dongtian Mirror to the master without hesitation.

"You can keep it..."

As he spoke, Yucheng took out a jade slip from his storage bag with his other hand and said, "It contains methods for refining and using the Cave Mirror."

"Thank you Master."

When Wang Ping cupped his fists to say thank you, Yucheng picked up Li Yan's head and turned it into a stream of light, heading towards the backyard.

"what do you want?"

Wang Ping raised his head and looked at the master who was retreating away. Feeling the refreshing autumn wind blowing on his face, he casually asked how to complete this transaction.

Yu Lian came out of her sleeves, swept her tail gently to clean up the blood dripping on the ground, and then signaled that the tea Wang Ping had brewed was almost ready.

Wang Ping teased Yu Lian twice, then sat down again and lifted the teapot on the stove.

Leng Kezhen stared at the hot tea poured from the teapot and said with a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor intends to appoint General Wang Lian as the governor of Shangning Road and the prime minister of Shangning Road Military Affairs."

"What else?" Wang Ping asked again.

"Before your majesty came to the throne, you and your majesty the queen had a son. His name is Wenyi. He has excellent bones. He has also practiced the art of wood spirit. He is successful in practicing qi. He wants to be a disciple of the Taoist priest!"

"Is there more?" Wang Ping asked again.

"Just these two."

"It's reasonable."

Wang Ping nodded. If he was only in the second realm now, he would have made a lot of money from such a transaction. But now that he has been promoted to the third realm, he is in charge of Nanlin Road, and is also the third seat of Daozang Hall. Such a transaction can only be said to be Reasonable.

"Our emperor is really not good at practicing magic, yet he can still hide such strong selfish desires." After Wang Ping agreed, he commented on the emperor again.

Leng Kezhen added: "You can live longer!"

"Oh?"

Wang Ping had just the right questions and invited Leng Kezhen to sit down and continue playing the unfinished chess game. After sitting down, Leng Kezhen explained: "Half of the luck of the land of Zhongzhou was divided by Princess Xia Yao. The inheritance pressure on the emperor will not take away his life in twenty years, plus some pills With assistance, our Emperor may be able to reign for more than thirty years."

"In the past few years, he has sent young people with good foundation in the royal family to various places in Zhongzhou, but he has never been willing to send Prince Wenyi away. Until the Taoist priest was promoted to the third realm not long ago, Princess Xia Yao personally wrote a letter to His Majesty the Emperor …”

"This Prince Wenyi is a good young man, and he has also practiced divine arts..."

Leng Kezhen lowered her voice for the last sentence, and after speaking, she decisively dropped a piece on the chessboard.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping pushed the tea cup in front of Leng Kezhen, handed another cup of tea to Yu Lian, and said with a smile: "The emperor wants me to pass him the "Taiyan Talisman"?"

Leng Kezhen shook his head, "Whether you want to pass it on to him or not depends on your own thoughts, Taoist Master."

...

After the two played three games of chess, Wang Ping won. Their conversation also ranged from the initial situation in the court to the human geography of Zhongzhou.

Without in-depth understanding, Wang Ping always thought that the Shangjing area should be the most civilized area in Zhongzhou. At least the people were basically enlightened. But in fact, due to the existence of divine magic, sacrifices were prevalent in many areas, and the groups that mastered sacrifices gradually Became a privileged aristocracy.

As a result, they created various sacrificial rituals. In some places, human sacrifices even appeared. The so-called human sacrifices meant that the heads of some serfs had to be chopped off for each sacrifice. Some places even imitated the practices of primitive tribes. Wang Ping was dumbfounded when he heard the debauchery.

The local government did not dare to delve deeper, because the people's beliefs were related to the rule of the Xia Dynasty!
  After the three games of chess were played, Leng Kezhen stood up and called the boy who had been waiting outside the garden gate for a long time. He was Prince Wenyi. He had a handsome face, but also had the masculinity of a martial arts practitioner. His hair crown was a piece of linen. Strip, the clothes on his body are the most common gray cotton sprint.

His root bones are indeed excellent. They should have been improved through the Shangdan Sect. The spiritual energy is rolling in the sea of ​​​​qi, and he has obviously achieved success in qi training.

Witnessed by Leng Kezhen, he knelt three times and kowtowed three times to Wang Ping in front of the old locust tree, and became another registered disciple of Wang Ping. As for the true inheritance, it depends on whether he can cultivate it later.

Afterwards, Leng Kezhen said goodbye.

Wang Ping didn’t try to persuade him to stay.

The two agreed to get together when Wang Ping registered at the Daozangdian headquarters in Shangjing City.

After Leng Kezhen left, Wen Yi did not appear panicked. He stood quietly beside Wang Ping, waiting for Wang Ping's next order.

"Clean out the house where Senior Sister You lived on the left side of the yard, and then study the Taoist scriptures in the house. If you don't understand, you can ask your Senior Sister..."

It was rare for Wang Ping to see a disciple with such a good foundation, so he couldn't help but feel a love for talent. When he said this, he ordered Yu Lian: "Call Xiaozhu over."

It took several hours for Yu Lian to leave.

It turned out that Shen Xiaozhu had some thoughts about this attack. She had been patrolling at the foot of the mountain for the past few days, using human suffering to practice her sense of crisis that she had almost forgotten.

When she saw Wen Yi, who was young and had better qualifications than her, the sense of crisis in her heart increased a lot, which made her usually calm mood slightly change.

What Wang Ping wants is this kind of change, because Shen Xiaozhu's heart is too calm, which is very useful for early practice, but later in the practice, when he needs to fight against the consciousness of the spiritual veins in his body, he must have enough determination and full emotions. .

The next thing was simple. Wang Ping asked Shen Xiaozhu to take her junior brother to get familiar with the inside and outside of the Taoist temple, and then ordered someone to go to the Daozang Hall to apply for an identity token for Xia Wenyi. In this way, the relationship between their master and disciple was officially established.

Wang Ping, who was free, was thinking about how to build his puppet while waiting for the Daozang Hall Dharma Assembly to start again.

the next day.

Taoist Yucheng came to his small courtyard.

"I always thought that it was Mr. Xiaoshanfu who originally designed our Qianmu Temple, but I read from Liyan's memory that the person who gave the instructions was most likely Taoist Wuma, and what he wanted was my master's memory."

"Taoist Wuma?"

Wang Ping couldn't help but recall the portrait of Taoist Wuma on the wall of the previous three-seat meeting in Wang Ping's mind. His impression of this mysterious Taiyan Fourth Realm boss only stayed at the last time he designed Zi Luan and others.

"Is he looking for something?" Wang Ping asked.

"It should be, and it is related to our ancestor, but I don't know what it is specifically. After the death of the master, many inheritances were cut off." Taoist Yucheng was in a depressed mood.

Both master and disciple were silent.

After a long time, Wang Ping said: "Master, do you want to try to advance to the third realm?"

Taoist Yucheng met Wang Ping's gaze, "You don't have to worry about being a master. Although the 'Borrowing Talisman' consumed all my spiritual veins, it actually helped me. Otherwise, I would have been possessed by inner demons all these years." Devour, now that the inner demon has been eliminated, I just need to rekindle my spiritual veins, and it shouldn’t be a problem to help you guard this family business for another hundred or two hundred years."

He sighed and said, "As for promotion to the third realm, if you know yourself as a teacher, you won't waste this time."

Wang Ping calmly used the wood spirit energy to explore the situation in his master's body. Now that the inner demon was lifted, the spiritual veins in his body did show some signs of recovery.

"It's been a long time since I invited some old friends to drink together. I plan to have a nice get-together with them this time, so you can leave me alone."

"Yes!"

"Also, this is the promotion method to the second level of "The Art of Gathering Wood" that I read from Liyan's memory. You can take it and see if there are any improvements."
