I will survive with proficiency

The glorious fairy city.

A spiritual materials shop.

"Shopkeeper, please give me twenty furnaces each of these spiritual materials." A young man handed a list to the shopkeeper.

This person is Chen Ping.

This list is a list of alternative spiritual materials that Chen Ping figured out based on the Dishen Huaying Dan.

He is now a top-level fourth-level alchemist, and his understanding of elixirs has reached its peak. It is not difficult to figure out third-level elixirs as a substitute for spiritual materials to increase proficiency.

These substitute spiritual materials are common spiritual materials, and the elixirs produced cannot be taken, but there is no problem in using them to increase proficiency.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please wait a moment."

Soon, the spiritual materials were ready, and these spiritual materials were not difficult to obtain.

Twenty furnaces is not too much.

But if twenty furnaces are used to simulate alchemy, one furnace of spiritual materials can be converted into 500 simulated furnaces, which is enough to fully maximize your skills.

When I was about to leave the store, I heard the hustle and bustle coming from outside, so I took a step forward and looked outside through the door instead of going out.

A group of monks in brocade clothes walked on the street.

The casual cultivators around seemed a little wary when they saw these people, and they all got out of the way.

"That's from the Yu family." The shopkeeper said softly.

"Yu family? Didn't it mean that the Yu family and the Guan family didn't get along well?" Another casual cultivator standing next to Chen Ping was a little confused.

The shopkeeper whispered:

"Hush, you don't want to talk nonsense."

"On the surface, the Yu family and the Guan family are not enemies, they are even partners. Please don't discuss private matters."

After more than a year, Chen Ping has a better understanding of the situation of these two companies.

The two companies overlap in many industries and are highly competitive.

There are many places where secret stumbling blocks can occur.

At the same time, these two families are both ancient families in the Cangqing Ancient World. After running for thousands of years, their industries have also cross-cooperated. You have me, and I have you. It will not be possible to completely kick them out for a while. other side.

So on the surface, he still maintains his dignity.

It is relatively safe for monks like the Yu family to appear in Ronghua City with such a high profile. They don't have to worry about the Guan family taking action against them secretly.

Because everyone knows that they are coming to Guancheng, if something goes wrong during this period, it will be difficult for the Guan family to deal with each other.

"Who is that woman at the head?" the confused monk asked softly.

"Do you have a good temperament?" Another monk smiled:

"That is the sixth Miss Yu Ji, a genius who uses poison. It is said that the genius young master of the eunuch family is very attracted to her."

"."

Chen Ping walked away a little and did not stand with the group.

Prevent them from causing trouble to themselves by speaking out.

There are two other monks from the Yu family who he must kill, but he doesn't want to get into the sight of other Yu family members. He is still very weak now.

For more than a year, the information I received from Guan Xinyi was that the fact that he was once trapped in the Yu family manor had not reached the ears of the Guan family.

It seems that the Yu family does not want this matter to be made public.

This is a good thing.

This situation is a delicate balance.

As long as he stayed around the Guan Family Floating Palace, the Yu family would definitely not dare to take action against him easily.

But at this moment, Chen Ping saw Miss Six glance this way.

He even blinked deliberately.

Chen Ping's heart tightened. Miss Six's playful blinking seemed to be her own unconscious action, and others could not see any clues.

But for some reason Chen Ping always felt that this person was winking at him.

What does it mean?

Could it be that Yu Huanyu told Miss Six that she was poisoned?

Chen Ping felt a little uneasy.

I don’t know if I am overthinking it.

After the Yu family's team walked away, he quickly returned to Yishui Manor.

‘No matter what, don’t go out less often. ’

‘The people of the Yu family don’t dare to take action near the Guan family’s floating palace. There are monks of the God Transformation there, and any battles thousands of miles around cannot be hidden from the perception of the God Transformation monks. ’

'When the Yu family bewitched me instead of directly killing me, they probably wanted to control me for their own use, so it is unlikely that they would kill me directly now. ’

‘First wait and see what happens. ’

‘If you have the chance, you should ask Senior Sister Guan about the situation of this sixth lady. ’

Back at Yishui Manor, as soon as they entered the cave, Yu Lingchun walked out:

"Husband, someone sent a letter, saying that it needs to be signed by your husband?"

Chen Ping frowned:

"Who sent it?"

I have no relatives or friends here.

Yu Lingchun shook her head slightly:

"I don't know. When a spiritual husband of our manor was patrolling the outside of the manor, a letter was sent by a casual cultivator. The casual cultivator only said that he was receiving money to deliver the letter for others. He didn't know who was behind the letter."

Secret delivery?

It doesn't look like a potential old friend.

Chen Ping nodded.

Returning to the quiet room, he looked at the letter sent to him.

Said to be a letter, it was actually a jade slip.

After injecting spiritual consciousness, a line of 'power-on password input box' appeared on the jade slip.

——Simple word "LAN", followed by two spaces.

My eyes suddenly narrowed in my mind.

Lan Xiaolin?

He subconsciously thought of Lan Xiaolin from the Yu family.

After inputting the word 'Xiao Lin' with his spiritual consciousness, it turned on successfully, and the light curtain inside the jade slip appeared in his spiritual consciousness.

Words emerge one by one:

[There is a voodoo in your body, which is a yin and yang voodoo. The yin voodoo is controlled by my lady. Don’t struggle, it can’t be released. 】

[In fifty years, he will break into the Guan family, marry a female cultivator of the Guan family, and become its core member. If he cannot do this, his soul will be destroyed. ——The fairy you will fear all your life. 】

When the words 'spirit and soul are destroyed' appeared, a halo of light in the center of the light curtain suddenly swayed and made a bang sound, as if the monk's soul was shattered and exploded.

‘Lan Xiaolin? ’

‘Lan Xiaolin’s character is such that she can’t say these words, even if she is deliberately trying to be cruel, her tone is wrong. ’

Chen Ping squinted his eyes and thought of the talented girl from the Yu family he met in Ronghua City today.

A bold guess is that this woman was probably involved in this matter.

Of course, it is also possible that Yu Huanyu directed and acted the entire process, deliberately fabricating the appearance of an unfounded woman.

In any case, the Yu family is sure that I have been poisoned.

And the plan is to raise me as a puppet.

As a chess piece to break into the Guan family.

A countermeasure gradually emerged in Chen Ping's mind.

A long-term response.

Since the Yu family is sure that I have been poisoned, why not take advantage of it? Since you regard me as a puppet, I might as well take advantage of you and see who is whose puppet.

Chen Ping put down the jade slips and returned to the alchemy room to start refining the Soul Transformation Pill.

Since the Yu family wants to use me, then at least the next fifty years will be safe and secure, with no life-threatening danger, and they can just focus on improving their own cultivation.

Three years later, Di Shen Hua Ying Dan Gan reached the level of 'Grand Master'.

It's still a little far from Dzogchen, but it's more than enough to satisfy the quality of 'exquisite'.

Chen Ping went to the Guan family to receive the first batch of spiritual materials.

Seven days later, he appeared again on Guanjia Floating Island.

"Nephew Chen Xian, how are you?" Guan Dayan asked with concern.

Although the agreement signed with Chen Ping is that regardless of whether Chen Ping refines a high-quality elixir, he must compensate the Guan family for a high-quality elixir.

But Guan Dayan still hopes that Chen Ping has real materials.

Only then can long-term cooperation be achieved.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." Chen Ping took out a jade bottle and handed it to Guan Dayan:

"Thanks to the elixir recipe provided by Uncle Guan, after repeated consideration, I have recalled all my previous experience in refining the Shen Shen Hua Ying Dan. It is an alchemy technique that the younger generation has practiced for hundreds of years."

"Exquisite elixir?" Guan Dayan took the jade bottle, his eyes shining brightly.

“Excellent product.”

When the jade bottle is opened, the aroma and rich medicinal power of the elixir hit your nostrils.

The surface is smooth with only a few cracks.

The best of the best.

Guan Dayan was overjoyed.

Guan Dayan didn't know whether Chen Ping had truly recalled the experience. He also had no way of knowing whether Chen Ping had bought the pill to replenish his supply after the refining failed.

But it doesn't matter much.

The advantage lies in his Guan family.

The agreement signed between the Guan family and Chen Ping is that as long as they have high-quality elixirs.

But what if this pill was really refined by Chen Ping.

That aspect confirms that Chen Ping really knew how to refine the Soul-Refining Pill before. Otherwise, he would not have been able to master this elixir and achieve such proficiency in just three years.

You must know that the elixir recipes and techniques provided to Chen Ping back then were dry things, without the essence of the experiences and insights recorded by the Guan family alchemist.

Considering that this was Chen Ping's first time refining alchemy, the quality of the spiritual materials he provided was not the best.

Under such circumstances, you can still refine high-quality elixirs, only if you really knew how to refine elixirs before.

"Okay, haha, that girl Guan Xinyi said that Chen Xian's nephew was already an alchemist during the foundation period. It seems that what she said is true." Guan Dayan was in a good mood.

Guan Xinyi laughed silently on the side.

"It's just a fluke. Currently, the elixir success rate is only 70%, and half of the elixir has to be sacrificed for each furnace. It is nothing compared to the talented alchemists of Guan Mansion." Chen Ping smiled.

"Nephew Chen Xian is being humble. Those alchemists may not be as skilled as Nephew Chen Xian." Guan Dayan laughed.

Seeing the servant Xiao Yezi handing over the best Dongmen Lingcha in the house, but each person only had one cup, he immediately scolded:

"What's the meaning?"

"One cup per person? That's enough for who? Didn't you see nephew Chen Xian here? If outsiders saw it, they would think I couldn't afford it."

"Bake again, one pot per person."

He then smiled, motioned for Chen Ping to drink tea, and said:

"Nephew Chen Xian has such skill, why not refine the fourth-level elixir?"

Chen Ping took a sip of Dongmen Lingcha, which was salty and astringent. He couldn't figure out how this thing became aristocratic Lingcha?

Since ancient times, IQ tax has never been absent.

Put down the teacup and said:

"I thought so, but after I advanced to Nascent Soul, I followed the master to refine the fourth-level elixir. Unfortunately, I had no talent and the elixir-making rate was too low. I didn't dare to waste any more spiritual materials."

The level 4 alchemy skill has already reached its maximum level.

But Chen Ping didn't want to expose too much.

People's hearts are complicated. If you expose yourself too much, you will inevitably become an alchemy tool under the coercion and inducement of others.

Huaying Dan is very good.

I am a Nascent Soul cultivator and a fourth-level alchemist. It is normal for me to refine third-level elixirs at a higher rate and quality.

Guan Dayan felt a little regretful when he heard this.

But he didn’t say anything more.

"By the way, I'd like to ask if I can exchange my accumulated merits for helping your house refine a high-quality Infant Transformation Pill this time for a No-grain Benefiting God Pill?" Chen Ping asked.

There is no elixir recipe for benefiting the gods, so I can’t practice it on my own.

Moreover, it takes several years to practice an alchemy technique to perfection. Chen Ping did not plan to refine every elixir himself, and he would exchange whatever he could.

"No Pattern Benefiting Pill?"

Guan Dayan laughed loudly when he heard this:

"Since nephew Chen Xian knows about the Wuwen Yishen Pill, do you know how difficult it is to refine the Wuwen Yishen Pill?"

"Besides, Nephew Chen Xian helped the Guan family refine the Infant Transformation Pill. He used the Guan family's spiritual materials. The merits accumulated will not be too much, but they are far from enough to exchange for a high-level Shen Yi Dan."

After further introduction, I learned that if you want to refine the Unmarked Benefiting Pill, you need to add the original energy of the alchemist's soul, which is a huge harm to the alchemist.

Without sufficient foundation, most alchemists would not dare to do this.

There is no Wuwen Yishen Pill in the entire Guan family.

Among the items in stock, the highest level is the Fifteen Lines Yishen Dan.

If you want to redeem one Nine-Line Yishen Pill, you only need two Infant Transformation Pills to refine your merits.

But if you need to exchange for a fifteen-line Yishen Pill, you need the merit of 20 high-quality Infant Transformation Pills.

This is just the redemption qualification.

Spiritual stones also need to be paid.

"Can I borrow a fifteen-line Yishen Pill on credit in advance? I will accumulate my merits slowly and pay them back slowly." Chen Ping asked tentatively.

"Okay." Before Guan Dayan could answer, Guan Xinyi on the side responded quickly:

"Okay, Junior Brother Chen has signed an agreement to refine at least 50 furnaces for the Guan family. The merits will come sooner or later."

Guan Dayan glanced at his daughter.

Although there is no express provision for this kind of credit payment, the elixir hall generally does not allow it.

In this world, the life of a cultivator is very precarious. Once the person dies, who will be responsible for the bad debts?

But considering Chen Ping's character.

Guan Dayan hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

Coming out of the living room, Guan Xinyi and Chen Ping walked out side by side:

"The Yishen Pill is for Yu Lingchun?"

"Yes." Chen Ping put away the jade bottle he had just redeemed.

Yun Lingshan has entered the ninth level of the Golden Pill, and there is no point in taking the Yishen Pill at this moment.

Yu Lingchun can still use it.

But in fact, the effect of Yishen Pill is best when taken when it has just entered the late stage of Golden Pill. Yu Lingchun has been in the late stage of Golden Pill for some years. It is unknown how effective taking it at this time will be.

At least it's beneficial, that's for sure.

"I once gave her a six-marked Shen Yi Dan, which I bought from other channels. Although my father controls the life and death of the elixir, he is a principled person. Even I, It also requires meritorious service to exchange it, and most of the time the pills exchanged from the family are not allowed to be sold or given to outsiders." Guan Xinyi said softly.

Chen Ping nodded.

In fact, Yu Lingchun and Yun Lingshan got to where they are today because of a lot of help from Senior Sister Guan.

Chen Ping kept this in mind.

After walking out of the hall and walking outside, Chen Ping took a photo of the insulation note and asked:

"Senior Sister Guan, have you ever heard of Miss Six of the Yu family?"

"What did you ask her about?" Guan Xinyi looked at Chen Ping curiously.

"Do you know?"

"Then can you tell me why you want to know about her?"

"cannot."

"Then I don't know either."

She said she didn't know, but Senior Sister Guan still introduced the situation of Miss Six of the Yu family.

A monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, a genius girl of Gu refining from the Yu family, much younger than Chen Ping.

He has quite a lot of experience in Gu Dao.

Very popular in the family.

"You won't offend her, will you?"

"No, but I always feel that she will plot against me."

"Yu Huanyu pretended to be a member of the Guan family and tried to control you. Wasn't she also involved?"

When Chen Ping didn't answer, Guan Xinyi said softly:

"You have to be careful about her. She relies on being favored by her family to act unreasonably. She is also very courageous and dares to scheme against anyone. She feels a bit lawless."

"The most important thing is that her Gu Dao makes people very fearful."

At this point, Guan Xinyi hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"There is inside information. The Yu family obtained an ancient strange insect a hundred years ago. I don't know what kind of insect it is. The spies installed by the Guan family in the Yu family do not have access to that level of information, but one thing is certain, it is an ancient insect. Just a worm."

"This Miss Six was involved in the taming and research of this Gu insect."

"It is said that once this kind of Gu is planted, it is basically impossible to peel it off. You have to be careful about her."

This should be one of the most confidential information of the Guan family, Guan Xinyi said it very carefully.

Specialize in research?

The initial speculation about the broken arm was true.

Chen Ping nodded and said:

"Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me, I will be careful."

"."

On the way out, Chen Ping kept all the information about Miss Six that Guan Xinyi knew about, some of which were public, and some of which were secrets collected by the Guan family and the Yu family over the years.

Returning to Yishui Manor, Chen Ping gave Yu Lingchun the Fifteen-line Benefiting Pill, and immediately asked her to take it and refine it to further refine her soul.

Seeing Yu Lingchun's vision after taking the Yishen Pill, Chen remembered the Wuwen Yishen Pill that he had taken.

The Wuwen Yishen Pill is not available in the entire Guan family.

Thinking of Fairy Biyuan.

Then he remembered the Luanling Burning Light Mother and Child Turtle given by Fairy Biyuan.

Luan Ling burns the mother turtle?

Chen Ping thought of how he saw a tree of life inside the mother turtle when he used the Luanling Burning Light Mother Turtle in the Lingxi Corridor.

It will wither every time it is used.

After so many years, I wonder if it has grown back?

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the Luanling Burning Light mother turtle.

Weiwei drives Dao Yun into the Luanling Burning Mother Turtle, and the tree of life inside the mother turtle slowly appears.

What he saw made Chen Ping disappointed.

‘Most of the tree of life is still withered. ’

‘It hasn’t changed over the years. ’

‘When I told Senior Sister Guan that I relied on a disposable treasure to pass through the Lingxi Corridor, I was deliberately lying. Could it be a prophecy? Is this Luanling Burning Light Mother Turtle really a disposable item? ’

‘The tree of life will be useless after it is exhausted? ’

But it is clear that what Fairy Biyuan said is that it is borrowed and must be paid back.

If it is a one-time use, why bother?

Chen Ping looked at the tree of life carefully.

Does it need to be refined?

But this thing is not simple at first glance. How could it be so easy to refine without the weapon refining technique?

After careful inspection, I discovered that the roots of the Tree of Life extended outward at the speed of lightning, and the color of some of the roots was actually purple.

Unique purple color.

Seeing these purple colors, Chen Ping subconsciously thought of the tenth thunder he had experienced at that time - the Purple Gold Dao-Destroying Thunder.

Chen Ping couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat as he carefully felt those purple roots again.

There is actually a hint of thunder in it.

Could it be that the formation of the Tree of Life is related to the Purple Gold Dao-Destroying Heavenly Thunder?

Chen Ping was shocked.

He thought about it.

A bold idea came up.

With a slight movement of his spiritual consciousness, he extracted a little bit of purple energy from the purple bracelet formed by his second transformation into an infant, pulled it with his spiritual consciousness, and then pushed it with Yuanying Gangqi, letting it pour into Luan Ling Fen Guan Zi Mu Inside the turtle.

As soon as the purple energy enters the turtle, it is quickly absorbed.

Then, the purple energy turned into a thunderbolt, which boomed over the tree of life, and drew a bright purple-gold lightning that struck directly at the tree of life.

There was a muffled sound of ‘click’.

Not only was the tree of life not damaged, it actually became more vibrant.

The tree trunk that had withered for a long time actually showed signs of sprouting branches again.

this.

The Nascent Soul Purple Energy Bracelet can actually warm and nourish the Luan Ling Burning Light mother tortoise! !

I didn't expect the purple energy bracelet to have such value.

Not only can it protect and nourish the Nascent Soul, it can also warm and nourish other things.

He immediately extracted a little more purple energy and tried to warm other spiritual treasures, magic weapons, and even spiritual plants, but nothing happened.

It seems that it can only be warmed and nourished with something that has the charm of purple gold and thunder.

Or maybe it can only warm up something related to the Purple Gold Sky Thunder during its formation process.

The details are unknown.

But what is known is that the Luan Ling Burning Light mother and daughter turtles do show signs of recovery under the warmth of the purple air.

In the next few days, Chen Ping continued to warm up, which further confirmed this.

It’s just that the withered tree of life recovers relatively slowly.

Just be effective.

Can be warmed up slowly.

What surprised Chen Ping even more was that the Luan Ling Burning Light mother tortoise had been kept in a storage bag without feeling anything before. It had been kept in a quiet room for several days, and he unexpectedly discovered that the Luan Ling Burning Light mother tortoise could gather Tao Yun. .

Let the Taoist charm in the quiet room be more intense.

And the more the tree of life is restored, the stronger the ability of Judaoyun will be.

This discovery made Chen Ping very happy.

In the Lingxi Corridor, we knew that the Luan Ling Burning Light Mother Turtle could swallow Dao Yun, but we didn't find that it could actually gather Dao Yun.

Under normal circumstances, spiritual energy is easy to gather, and the spirit gathering array can do it. Some spiritual materials also have such characteristics, such as the Black Hell Fusang tree obtained in the Demon City.

But Tao Yun is difficult to gather.

This is also why the underground palace built by the Tianyin Sect outside the dome ruins is so precious.

Unexpectedly, Luan Ling's Burning Light Turtle has this effect.

‘Having a heart with spiritual veins can ensure sufficient spiritual energy. If you have the Luan Ling Burning Light Mother Turtle, you can ensure the abundance of Tao Yun. ’

‘There is another layer of protection on the path of spiritual practice. ’

Chen Ping was in a happy mood.

I thought of Fairy Biyuan again.

When I was in Bixian Pavilion, neither Fairy Biyuan's cave nor her attic boudoir found any means of gathering Tao Yun.

Since Fairy Biyuan has the Luan Ling Burning Light Turtle, why not use it to gather Daoyun?

Or is this treasure something she just got?

Such an important treasure obviously has value even if she is a god.

Chen Ping had mixed emotions for a while.

In the days that followed, Chen Ping focused on cultivation and occasionally made alchemy.

In particular, Huaying Dan is only refined once every two or three years.

During this period, I would occasionally go to Ronghua City to look for some spiritual materials for the Infant Transformation Pill. This was mainly for Guan Dayan to see, so as to avoid being suspected by Guan Dayan when he took out the Infant Transformation Pill in the future and Guan Dayan knew about it. The elixir formation rate will be higher.

It makes sense that he is also collecting spiritual materials.

As time passed, Chen Ping found that his cultivation was improving rapidly.

The speed of cultivation here is indeed higher than that of the human world.

Not only him, Yun Lingshan and Yu Lingchun were also seizing the time to practice while taking care of the manor, and they were making progress day by day.

But as time goes by, Yu Lingchun is getting older and older.

Over the years, Chen Ping has also inquired about some life-extending spiritual materials in Ronghua City, and even got one or two, but they were not very good, so he never gave them to Yu Lingchun.

If you really can't find anything better, you may have to use these inferior spiritual materials, which are at least better than nothing.

Yun Lingshan is slightly better.

Her cultivation is improving day by day.

The fourth Dan pattern, the fifth Dan pattern, and the sixth Dan pattern

And the quality of Danwen has become better than before.

In the eighteenth year when Chen Ping entered the ancient world of Cang Qing, Yun Lingshan walked into Chen Ping's cave:

"Master, Lingshan wants to try to transform the soul into an infant now."

The soul transforms into a baby, which means it hits the Yuanying realm.
