After bringing Huang Yumin back to Fuge Mountain, Chen Ping made an empty bamboo house for her to stay temporarily.

Then, he left the formation and walked towards Chen Yiru's cave.

A few years have passed, and although Auntie Ru is still in the middle stage of foundation building, her aura is rich and somewhat stronger than before. It is obvious that she will be able to break through to the late stage in the near future.

As for Guan Ni'er, his cultivation level has also been upgraded to the seventh level of Qi training.

Chen Ping gave her a Qiyang Pill with two patterns, which made the little girl extremely happy.

He has not yet decided whether to support Guan Nier in building the foundation.

Because the top spirit body was too ethereal, Chen Ping was determined in his heart that he would not have such unlucky luck.

Next, he visited Chen Xiangwen, Chen Munian, and Chen Tong in turn. In addition to reminiscing about the past, his main purpose was to deliberately let them know that he had been promoted again.

Chen Xiangwen naturally comforted him and really encouraged him.

He also made it clear that he planned to completely retreat behind the scenes and concentrate on breaking through the foundation-building realm of Dzogchen.

"Without the assistance of the treasures of heaven and earth, Chen Xiangwen's chance of successfully surviving the Yuandan catastrophe is less than 10%."

Chen Ping estimated, his eyebrows gradually tightened.

Yuan Dan has three levels, namely the spiritual consciousness level, the magic power level, and the inner demon level.

Even if you break through three levels, you still have to endure the baptism of three thunder tribulations.

There are four levels of obstacles in total. No matter which level you fall at, you will be considered a failure to overcome the tribulation.

Especially for the Heart Demon Pass and the Triple Thunder Tribulation, if you are careless, you may even risk your death.

For a middle-grade spiritual root monk, without the blessing of external objects, breaking through the realm is indeed as difficult as ascending to the sky.

As for the Yuan Dan Tribulation, Chen Ping couldn't be of much help.

Under the embodiment and restraint of rules, monks can overcome thunder tribulations, and no one else can interfere.

If you mix it up rashly, the power of the divine thunder will be greatly enhanced, but it will be a disservice to you.

Moreover, if you are influenced by the cause and effect of heaven and earth, you will have almost no chance of success when you go through another calamity.

The laws are so strict that even if Nascent Soul and the direct descendants of the cultivator of the God Transformation are going through a tribulation, they dare not take action to break up the tribulation cloud.

At Chen Xiangwen's age, he only has one chance to attack Yuan Dan at most.

Even if he imparts all his training experience to others, it can only increase the chance by half.

After practicing for hundreds of years in two lifetimes, there were very few monks who could make him admire him.

Chen Xiangwen is one of them.

He has been in control of the family for more than a hundred years. He is open-minded and clear-cut between public and private affairs. Most of his energy is devoted to cultivating outstanding descendants.

Chen Yiru, Chen Xingchao, Chen Tong and other descendants built the foundation, all of which he carefully supported along the way.

Otherwise, with his superb alchemy skills, he would have reached the Dzogchen realm long ago.

"Everyone has his own destiny."

Chen Ping sighed quietly, hiding the waves in his eyes.

Completely opposite to Chen Xiangwen's reaction, Chen Mu Nian and Chen Tong were not as happy as he was from the bottom of his heart. Chen Ping has advanced to the middle stage of foundation building at a young age, which means that the power of the family will gradually shift.

At least, the two of them can no longer compete with Chen Ping.

From now on, the person in charge of the Haichang Chen family will only be Chen Ping, or the third elder, Chen Xingchao!

However, what pleased Chen Tong was that when he asked for mercy on Bagua Shuangxiong's behalf, Chen Ping gave him face and directly agreed to avoid subsequent punishment.

Returning to the courtyard, Chen Ping gave a Three Gods Gathering Pill to Xue Yun, and explained in detail several key points to break through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

With the Three Gods Gathering Pill to make up for her weakness in spiritual consciousness, Xue Yun's chances of building a foundation are no less than what he had been back then, approaching a 90% chance.

Then, Chen Ping officially began to practice puppetry with Huang Yumin.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, I would like to trouble you to teach you from the most basic level. I know nothing about the way of puppets."

Chen Ping admitted openly.

"This junior will definitely not hide anything."

Huang Yumin's face straightened up and he agreed repeatedly.

Although the puppetry technique is a secret skill inherited from the family, firstly, the family has been destroyed, and secondly, in front of the foundation-building senior, if she perfunctoryly does it, the consequences will be extremely serious.

"Friend Huang Dao, don't be constrained. A master is a teacher. When learning puppetry, you can treat me as a peer."

Chen Ping clasped his fists and said kindly.

"Well, let's start with the simplest method of dividing puppets."

Huang Yumin calmed down and finally assumed the airs of a "master".

After studying for three months without shame, Chen Ping gave Huang Yumin five thousand spirit stones as a reward, and then sent her back to the enshrinement hall.

After all, this woman's own background is extremely average, and she has nothing to teach her.

Turning over his hands, a jade slip appeared in his palm.

"Puppet Essence Technique."

Chen Ping was so absorbed in his mind that he immediately wrote down all the contents of the exercise verbatim.

This technique is a small Taoist technique practiced by Yuan Dan, the last generation of Longxia Sect, and Lu Wanjue, and its grade is the lower level of Xuanpin.

Chen Ping tried to read it before, but found it difficult to understand and couldn't understand it at all.

Now that he came into contact with it again, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the basic study in the past few months was not in vain. Many difficult points were easily understood at a glance, and it even felt like it was a matter of course.

Huang Yumin has mentioned several times that his ability to understand puppets is quite excellent, and he is one of the ordinary geniuses.

Eliminating the suspicion of her being a sycophant, Chen Ping was quite satisfied.

Having said that, even if he doesn't have the talent to practice puppetry, he still has to overcome obstacles and keep going.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of his soul power that is far beyond the same level.

When cultivating puppets, the level of talent is not the most important thing. The strength of spiritual consciousness is the key factor that determines how much success a monk can achieve in this way.

Why are puppets so much less popular than refining alchemy, making talismans, and controlling beasts?

In the final analysis, it is not because the techniques to strengthen the soul are rare and precious.

True disciples who are not from a big power will not be able to obtain one in this life.

Fighting against a sect with one person's power is a legendary deed that all puppet masters yearn for.

Without the blessing of the soul secret technique, a Yuandan puppet master can only control a few third-level puppets at the same time.

In this way, most of the essence of puppetry is missing.

But Chen Ping possesses the Taiyiyan Divine Technique, which is at the upper level of Heavenly Grade, and his starting point is infinitely higher than that of ordinary puppet masters.

In the future, manipulating an endless army of puppets to besiege Qianfa Sect is by no means a foolish dream.

…

In the blink of an eye, another season has passed.

On this day, Chen Ping's consciousness suddenly moved, he slowly opened his eyes, and followed his figure as fast as thunder, arriving at the water pool in an instant.

At this moment, a flame-colored crow beast was standing on the shell of the white jade clam demon with its claws extended.

"Owner!"

Seeing Chen Ping appear, Xuan Fei immediately flapped his wings filled with flames and flew down.

"It's level two, not bad."

Chen Ping glanced at Xuan Yu and said calmly.

After this crow was promoted, its original palm-sized body actually expanded dozens of times, and when the bird's body stood up, it was as tall as a normal human being.

The most intuitive change is the golden fluff on Xuan Fei’s head.

Compared with the fluffy ones before, now they are as straight as steel needles, shining like stars at night.

"It's all thanks to the master's cultivation, and I also ask the master to grant new restrictions."

Xuanyu folded his wings and said respectfully.

"Well, you do have a heart."

Chen Ping's expression softened, and he took out the advanced demon-locking plate that he had prepared earlier and placed it in front of Xuanyu.

Low-level demon locking disks can only imprison first-level demon beasts.

Once the monster breaks through the second level, it will automatically explode.

It was when he noticed the demon-locking plate exploding that he concluded that Xuanyu had successfully broken through, so he immediately took action and rushed over.

The high-level demon-locking plate is Yu Hugu's collection. There are two pieces in total, which can seal the souls of second- and third-level demonic beasts.

One of them controls the White Jade Clam Demon, and this one is prepared for the Xuan Fly.

"Condensation!"

Chen Ping drank softly, and a drop of blood flowed into the core along the outer edge of the stone plate.
Chapter completed!
