There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 280 Cave Mirror (Large Chapter)

At the morning market outside Daozang Hall, the most traded items are all kinds of novel ores.

Most of these ores were discovered accidentally by the common people, and specialized grocery merchants would go to various villages to collect them. Over time, an industry was formed.

The most popular among them is the Five Elements Ore. It is a mutation caused by the fusion of the power of the Five Elements and the spiritual body of the inspiration world by chance. The stone is dyed into five colors and is as smooth and round as jade.

They have no aura and can only be used as decorations, but they are still loved by monks, and some wealthy households with considerable financial resources also like to collect them.

Wang Ping is holding a pound of fresh shrimps in his hand at the moment, feeding Yulian to eat, while browsing the market of Five Elements Ore. What he likes are the reliefs carved on the surface of the ore, especially the reliefs based on landscape paintings.

He didn't know how long he had been shopping, but half of the shrimp he was holding had been eaten by Yu Lian. He unknowingly walked into a store without even seeing the name. A dark red Five Elements ore in the store attracted him. This ore carves Shangyang Mountain, and it is Shangyang Mountain after Wufeng Temple was destroyed and collapsed.

The visual sense it presented to Wang Ping was a special violent beauty, coupled with the shock of the mountain's collapse, especially the chaos of its dark red lines intertwined with the earth dug up from inside the mountain.

And it’s only about the size of your thumb!
  "How much does it cost?" Wang Ping asked, staring at the stone, which was placed in a wooden box on the shelf in the middle of the store.

"I'm sorry, Taoist priest, it's not for sale." The clerk in the store laughed along with him.

"You make a price!" Wang Ping reached out to take it. The clerk wanted to stop it, but was so frightened by Yu Lian wrapped around Wang Ping that he didn't even say anything to stop it.

Yu Lian did not hide like before, because in her understanding, the entire Jinhuai City now belongs to Wang Ping, and she does not need to be afraid of others in her own family.

Seeing this, the waiter could only wink at the other waiter next to him, and then quickly walked into the back room. Within a moment, a middle-aged man wearing a lavender silk coat came out. He actually brought a seventh-grade knight with him. With his crown on his head, his face looks a bit square like that of a northerner.

When he saw Wang Ping, his eyes stayed on Yu Lian for two breaths, then put on a smiling face and asked: "The guest officer has taken a fancy to it?"

"You bid!" Wang Ping touched it gently with his fingers and felt its touch.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver." The middle-aged man was very direct.

"Row!"

Wang Ping took out a banknote from his storage bag.

The middle-aged man took it and glanced at it. The smile on his face was deeper than before. Then he returned the banknote to Wang Ping and cautiously asked his confidants to ask someone to come over to confirm the authenticity of the banknote.

"Look at the tea!"

He smiled and invited Wang Ping to sit in the cubicle next to him, and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. Once your reservation is confirmed, our deal will be settled."

Two quarters later.

The clerk invited a shopkeeper from a nearby bank. He carefully confirmed the balance of the banknote. Only the middle-aged man accepted the banknote and politely sent Wang Ping out.

"It's rare to find something you like. Do you want to go shopping again?" Yu Lian asked, staring at the Five Elements Ore in Wang Ping's hand.

"No, I'll save the fun stuff for next time."

Wang Ping walked casually, holding the Five Elements Ore and pointing it at the morning glow on the horizon. Unknowingly, he walked under the sun. Under the sunlight, countless fine red thin lines appeared inside the stone, which looked like Just like the nervous system of a living thing.

"It looks like the internal organs of a certain creature?" Yu Lian was a little surprised.

"It's still a fire creature!" Wang Ping added.

"It is estimated that some weak spiritual creatures encountered a naturally formed five-element spell and combined with the surrounding environment to become this state."

"kindness!"

Wang Ping nodded, took two steps toward the sunshine, and then disappeared.

Return to Daozang Hall.

Information came out from the communication token that the Dharma conference, which had been suspended for three days, had started again.

He did not receive the price increase code from all parties as Taoist Ziluan said. He secretly guessed that there were two reasons for this. First, the two people who could be elected did not need his vote; Second, many people may not know how to contact him.

A familiar venue.

But this time he is officially the third seat.

There were fewer people participating in the Dharma Assembly today. Except for the sixth seat, which was watching the excitement, half of the people in the fifth and fourth seats were gone, including Liu Shuang and Liu Chang.

As before, the seven candidates were spread out among the third seats.

"The selection was a bit hasty this time." Ruan Chunzi said to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping pretended not to hear.

"None of the seven candidates have expressed their intention to choose three seats based on their strength?" Ruan Chunzi continued: "I would like to see how they choose three seats based on their strength."

Wang Ping silently looked at all the third seats, and finally found that Yun Que, Ying Fu, Huo De, Zhi Yuan and Ming Jing, the five elders of Daozang Hall, were not among them.

"Fellow Taoist said it wrong."

Zi Luan turned around and glanced at Ruan Chunzi, then looked at Wang Ping and said, "Choose Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is the only option."

Ruan Chunzi was stunned for a moment when he heard what Zi Luan said, and then he suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zi Luan has thought more, and I really should choose Daoist Jiang."

At this moment, not only Wang Ping is discussing here, but also all the third seats are discussing. There is also a buzzing discussion from the remaining fourth seats and the fourth and fifth seats in the periphery. Because there is no sound insulation, if you listen carefully, Jiang Cun’s name is the most appears.

The voting started quickly under Yang Shu's organization, and the voting rules were still the same as those three days ago.

Finally, an unexpected vote came out.

After three rounds, Jiang Cun passed unanimously, and the remaining six monks did not get a single vote.

Immediately after the results were announced, a monk from the Star God Alliance stood up and looked at Yang Shu with a half-smile and asked, "How should we calculate this? Let Fellow Daoist Jiang be elected, and then the remaining six people will vote again?"

“It’s better to follow the original voting rules!”

Some people objected that the original voting rules were for each candidate to vote in three separate rounds, during which the candidates needed to be questioned by everyone.

The voting method changed three days ago made the rules of the game simpler, but it caused everyone present to lose most of their voting power.

In addition, none of the candidates expressed their opinions this time, which made everyone present feel that the votes in their hands suddenly became worthless, which is why what happened now.

"The rules themselves should not be changed, no matter what the purpose is!" Ren Kong stood up and looked at Wang Ping while speaking. He was questioning the compliance of Wang Ping's third seat, but he did not dare to say it out. , because Wang Ping is already one of the three seats announced by the Lord himself.

"Yes! I agree."

"I agree!"

Many people among the four seats agreed, especially the four independent seats, because the changed voting mechanism deprived them of their only right to question.

After the quarrel at the scene subsided, a third seat of the Zhenyang Sect suggested: "How about voting to decide? This is also in line with the consistent position of Daozang Palace."

"Okay!" Someone responded to him immediately.

Ruan Chunzi whispered to Wang Ping amidst the cheers of some people: "Without the intervention and advance planning of the governor, the three-seat election would have taken at least half a month. We have to wait."

When he spoke, he looked at Wang Ping with a scrutinizing gaze, and his meaning was already obvious.

Wang Ping pretended not to hear.

Ruan Chunzi's topic failed to proceed in Wang Ping's silence.

Another round of voting begins in the quarrel.

The result is obvious. Everyone agrees to change the voting method back to the original model, including Wang Ping of course. After choosing the voting method, Yang Shu announced again: "The formal voting will be held in three days."

...

Wang Ping, who exited the illusion, woke up the sleeping Yu Lian next to him. Yu Lian instinctively climbed onto Wang Ping's body, shrank her body and wrapped herself around Wang Ping's left arm.

"What kind of chaos will this world look like?"

Wang Ping asked suddenly. He thought of the quarrel at the Dharma meeting just now. The commotion in Zhongzhou was nothing more than those people at the Dharma meeting just now trying to overturn the table.

Of course, he might be the first to flip the table!
  Because he followed Mr. Xiaoshanfu.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping felt uneasy.

"The power of the True Lord is beyond our imagination. I think we should find ways to find some escape magic weapons." Yu Lian said with a joking tone, "or practice some escape spells."

The first thing Wang Ping thought of was the 'Transfer Talisman', and then what he sacrificed was the 'Dongtian Mirror'.

If this magic weapon is not used before refining, it can be used as a magic circle to soothe the consciousness of the soul. It is also very simple to use. You only need to put the consciousness of the soul into it, and you will feel unprecedented stability, and at the same time, it can block the world of inspiration. All noise pollution.

If the refining is successful, two other effects will be activated. The first is to create a mirrored stretching space. The user can use the mirrored space to hide the auras of at least three people. At the same time, this mirrored space can be stretched by more than a hundred feet, and Forming an unobservable barrier, users can travel through this space at will.

If the 'Transfer Talisman' array is placed in the mirror space in advance, Wang Pingke can transfer dozens of kilometers through it in just a few breaths, and it will be a silent transfer.

The second function is to use the natural wood spirit energy to gather the most powerful light of heaven and earth, which has a miraculous effect on the physical attack of Taiyin evil cultivators.

From these two functions of the 'Dongtian Mirror', it can be inferred that when the Taiyin Sect made it, it was probably specifically used to deal with Taiyin evil cultivators.

To completely refine the 'Dongtian Mirror' does not happen overnight. After reading its refining process, a guide popped up on the light screen panel:
  [Basic tempering technique: Summon the soul to temper the internal formation of the cave sky mirror to synchronize its internal spirituality with the soul. It can be effectively tempered for one hour every day and can be completed within three years. (Progress 1/100, today’s progress 0/ an hour). 】

[Note 1: It can be used when the tempering progress reaches (60/100). 】

[Note 2: Do not temper to perfect progress, otherwise the soul will easily resonate with the mirror space and fall into it when used. 】

Three years was just a fleeting time for Wang Ping. He suppressed his emotions, took off the light screen panel, and took out the Five Elements Ore he just bought at the market to play with.

"You really like this little thing, what's so good about it?" Yu Lian whispered.

"kindness."

Wang Ping nodded and said: "Its craftsmanship is different from the bottomless magic arrays in the magic soldiers. You see, such a thumb-sized stone is in another world. Shangyang Mountain collapsed at that time All the details are vividly displayed on it, and I even saw the remains of Wufeng Temple.”

"Do you want to learn?"

"I want to install some more elaborate magic circles inside my puppet, or carve some exquisite decorations on the outside." As he spoke, his consciousness quickly sank to the clerical hall on the first floor, and said to the person in charge of the hall. :
  "Collect some books about craftsmen and bring them to the third floor."

After half an hour.

The person in charge of the first floor, with two subordinates holding more than [-] bamboo slips and more than ten books, climbed to the third floor with his head lowered. At Wang Ping's signal, he placed the bamboo slips and books next to his meditation futon. .

Wang Ping stepped forward and picked up the bamboo slip on the far right. When he was about to read it, a puppet bird flew in from the window and landed on the round table in the middle of the room. Then he tilted his head and looked at Wang Ping intelligently. And jump around flexibly.

"It's Xiaozhu's puppet." Yu Lian was obviously urging Wang Ping.

Wang Ping stretched out his left hand and tapped it gently, and the puppet bird immediately spit out a small bamboo slip from its abdomen. Yu Lian immediately rolled up the bamboo slip with its tail and read it.

"Xiaozhu is about to build a foundation, we have to go back and take a look."

Yu Lian handed the finished bamboo slip to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping took the bamboo slip and read all the contents on it with just a glance. Then his consciousness fell on the attic door.

At the gate, Hu Qianqian, Niu Qi and Wang Ben were respectfully waiting to be summoned.

Next to Wang Ben was the old sheep demon. He was tied up with a special red rope. The sheep's mouth was closed by a spiked black metal frame. There were some very special witchcraft runes on the surface of these metals. The runes were stuck in the mouth. The oozing blood stained it bright red.

"Come up."

Wang Ping said this to the surrounding guards and the three demons Hu Qianqian.

When Hu Qianqian heard this, she looked at the two demons around her, and then the goat demon landed on the rooftop outside the attic.

"Master..."

"Meet Taoist Changqing!"

Hu Qianqian cupped her fists and saluted, while the other two demons knelt down and bowed.

"Come in!"

Yu Lian called to Hu Qianqian. Hu Qianqian's nervous expression became more relaxed, her furry ears twitched, and she walked carefully to Wang Ping and bowed again.

"Master, I..."

"It doesn't matter, some small things, this matter will also make you remember a little longer. Don't underestimate the people in the world."

"Yes!"

Hu Qianqian looked like she was being taught, and her tail gently swung twice under her Taoist robe. In the past hundred years or so, under Wang Ping's protection, she had indeed become a little complacent and underestimated the enemy.

"Did you discover Wulang?"

Wang Ping's eyes fell on Niu Qi and Wang Ben. When he asked, Yu Lian tilted her head and looked at them carefully, and communicated with Wang Ping in the spiritual sea: "The soul consciousness of the two Zhongzheng is different from that of Xiao Qianqian, their wildness has not been completely suppressed."

"That sheep demon... Hey, he is actually more upright than these two demons, and he doesn't have any of the wildness of the demons. Not only that, he also has a trace of paranoid kindness!"

"Shadow from the first day?"

"Similar, but not entirely, it should be influenced by certain doctrines from the first day."

While they were having a conversation, Ben, the tiger demon king, said, "In response to what Taoist Changqing said..."

He was still in a state of kneeling, with his face pressed to the floor, and the steel needle-like beard at the corner of his mouth was trembling slightly, "The little demon has some business on Changning Road, and accidentally discovered that Hu Daoyou's disciples were investigating this old sheep, so he came to help. A handful…”

"Oh? Tell me in detail!"

"Yes!"

It turned out that after Wang Ben and Niu Qi met Hu Qianqian at the ceremony where Wang Ping took over as the pacifier, they had the idea of ​​​​taking refuge with Wang Ping, so they wanted to prepare a big gift to Wang Ping according to the tradition of the demon clan. flat.

After a little inquiry, they found out about the grudge between Wang Ping and Wu Lang. The two demons followed this line and soon discovered that Hu Qianqian's disciples were monitoring Laoyang Mountain View, so they secretly coordinated. .

Not long after, their disciples found an opportunity in Yangjiang County. At that time, Laoyang Shanjing sneakily got rid of the tracking of Hu Qianqian's disciples, passed through a fast river, and entered a place on the 'First Day' stronghold.

It happened that this stronghold was within the scope of the two men's fur business. Soon, they noticed Wu Lang pretending to be a hunter in a mountain village to the north of the stronghold.

After Wang Ping listened calmly, he looked at Hu Qianqian and said, "Your disciple seems to be more hidden. Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you."

After that, he looked towards the rooftop again, made a gentle expression, and said, "Get up."

"Taoist Master Xie Changqing."

After Niu Qi and Wang Ben thanked them, they stood up in a polite manner.

Wang Ping had already set his sights on Laoyang Shanjing and said, "Let's wake him up first. He should be a demon who knows how to choose."
