Chen Ping frowned. It seemed that this woman was not aware of the ice and snow vision that occurred for no reason after she fell into coma.

"Ni'er, release the power of your consciousness with all your strength."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ping said calmly.

"yes."

Although Guan Ni'er was puzzled, he still obeyed the instructions obediently and circulated his soul, and a stream of spiritual consciousness came out of his body.

Chen Ping felt it carefully, and the wrinkles on his face became a little deeper.

The consciousness that penetrates Ni'er is only a few hundred feet, which is the result of taking the Three Gods Juding Pill.

Otherwise, the strength of her soul would be equivalent to that of an ordinary early-stage foundation-building monk.

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ping suddenly grabbed Guan Ni'er's wrist and found that the cold aura on her body was still there, even stronger than when she was practicing Qi.

"The reincarnation of the Mighty One?"

Inexplicable uneasiness surged into his heart, and Chen Ping quickly overturned this absurd idea.

Except for exuding a special cold air, every feature on her body was ordinary, and she could never be the reincarnation of a powerful being.

Those monks who can avoid reincarnation and find loopholes in the rules are not weak!

Take Chen Ping for example. In his previous life, he had only a small fake elixir body, but after taking the soul, his soul also increased significantly.

"Seventh Elder...does this junior possess some kind of spirit body?"

Guan Ni'er rubbed the corners of her clothes and asked hesitantly.

Chen Ping shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "I didn't realize it. Maybe my vision is too low."

"oh."

Guan Ni'er's pretty face changed, and the starlight in her eyes dimmed instantly.

She is not a newcomer to the world of cultivation, and she knows very well what a top spiritual body means.

Without the blessing of a spiritual body, just relying on her mediocre spiritual root talent, she may not be able to enter the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment when the time comes.

"Next, Ni'er, you should consolidate your cultivation first, and then go to the worship hall to find the Ninth Elder. She will arrange errands for you."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ping gave a calm order, then turned and left.

…

Looking away from Guan Ni'er's back, Chen Ping rubbed his brows with a severe headache.

For the past three months, he has been secretly observing Guan Ni'er.

After the foundation building period, this girl's cultivation speed is almost the same as that of ordinary middle-grade spiritual roots, without any conspicuous features.

Recalling what Guan Hongjian said back then, Ni'er was not a native of the Guan family.

It was a baby girl picked up by Guanshuozhou from Chengkan Island.

This island is a first-class island under the Chen family, and there are about 60 monks who have settled there all year round.

Chen Ping plans to take time to go there in the future, maybe there will be clues.

Since Ni'er's condition was unknown, Chen Ping certainly did not dare to admit her into his room rashly.

So, he sent a message paper crane to Xue Yun and ordered her to show Ni'er the wonders of the cultivation world.

Because when Chen Ping learned that this girl had never had blood on her hands until now, he suddenly felt helpless.

The foundation of the Chen clan is a pack of ferocious and united wolves. How can they be as good as goats by being vegetarian?

…

Time flies, seven years fly by in the blink of an eye.

In the main hall at the heart of Fuge Mountain, candlelight is dim and agarwood overflows, everything is as before.

On the bright moon pattern in the center, Chen Ping is naked, and every part of his skin is covered with a layer of dark red sand particles.

After a brief inspection, he found that the fine sand was being sucked into his Dantian at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then flowed into his meridians, turning into streams of pure and unsullied fire-attribute spiritual power.

More than half of the 1,400 large and small spiritual points opened in the body are filled with liquid mana, leaving no gaps.

These mana powers are no longer suitable to be described with water. It is more appropriate to describe them as magma that is extremely viscous, as if it will solidify in the next moment.

Through continuous practice, Chen Ping was still about ten years away from reaching the pinnacle of Dzogchen.

Of course, another leap in his cultivation speed was closely related to the Hongling Golden Ginseng presented to him by the Enshrining Hall.

Speaking of which, the whereabouts of this golden ginseng plant was provided by Guan Hongjian.

The Guan family has been cultivating medicine for generations and has made numerous partners covering thousands of miles of sea.

When he learned that the worship hall was looking for golden ginseng everywhere, he revealed a piece of news to Xing Linnian.

In the Fang Family Medicine Garden, about 30,000 miles away from Haichang Island, a Rainbow Golden Ginseng plant was planted.

However, it is less than a thousand years old and cannot be used as the main medicine of the Foundation Building Pill, so the Fang family has been taking good care of it.

Next, Xing Linnian immediately reported the news to Chen Ping.

Although golden ginseng that is more than 800 years old cannot be used to refine the foundation-building elixir, Duhuo Powder does not have this restriction, and its efficacy is only 20% or 30% weaker.

Overjoyed, Chen Ping ordered the enshrinement hall to set off immediately, and no matter what means were used, the golden ginseng must be brought back to the family intact.

Therefore, Xue Yun and Xing Linnian, two foundation builders, led dozens of ninth-level Qi-training monks, boarded the Fang Family Island with all due etiquette, and started a round of negotiations with the elders of the Fang Family.

But Fang's appetite was too big, and the price was locked at 45,000 and would not budge.

If this was a thousand-year-old golden ginseng, it wouldn't be considered a rip-off to the Chen family.

But Xue Yun only agreed to purchase the immature golden ginseng for 30,000 spiritual stones.

Not surprisingly, the talks between the two sides collapsed. Xue Yun mobilized his troops and generals, combined with Xing Linnian, Guan Ni'er, Bai Jade Clam Yao, Chen Mu Nian, and Chen Zhengchu. A total of six foundation-building forces surrounded the small city.

The Fang family is a small family, with only two monks in the middle stage of foundation building in charge.

In front of the behemoth Chen family of Haichang, the Fang family's defense collapsed in one blow. After several fierce battles, the Fang family chose to surrender.

The Hongling golden ginseng plant was also used as a resource for the offering, and Xue Yun sent it to Fuge Mountain without any flowers.

Chen Ping newly acquired golden ginseng and immediately made a portion of Duhuo Powder.

From Xue Yun to Guan Hongjian and everyone in the worship hall, they all received his rewards.

This was also one of his original intentions in establishing a force.

For many complicated tasks, if you give an order in one sentence, there will be people vying to do it for you.

In addition, after seven years, a total of forty-six kilograms of Qingxuan Iron Essence has been completely melted.

But the progress of the Five Elements Sword embryo is still two years away.

Chen Ping asked Zeng Tingxuan and others to start in advance and build a huge furnace based on the pit of earth fire.

The iron essence shapes the sword body, and the process is not complicated.

Chen Ping gave Zeng Tingxuan a rough shape of the spirit sword, and left the rest of the details to his discretion.

Currently, what troubles him a little is the petiole of the Zhenyang sycamore leaf.

He originally planned to melt the petiole and use it as an auxiliary material to add to the sword body.

But Wutong Leaf is an authentic sixth-level spiritual object. Even if it is not known for its hardness, it is not something that he, a foundation-building monk, can do anything about.

Sure enough, after baking with dry blue and purple flames for more than half a year, the petiole was not damaged at all, so Chen Ping had no choice but to give up.

"Perhaps we can try the method of hooking up."

Chen Ping thought for a moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought to himself.

The hooking method is a common forging method used in weapon refining.

This method can use a specific method to condense materials that cannot be easily melted or have conflicting properties.

Just like a huge stone placed in a pool of spring water, they are two unrelated things.

But if you cast a spell to freeze the spring water, then in a certain sense, the stone and the water will also become one.

However, the power of the spirit sword will be greatly reduced due to the failure of the auxiliary materials to be fully utilized in the Gou Lian method.

This is also the biggest drawback of this method.

Of course, the auxiliary materials are not completely integrated with the main materials, and it will be very convenient to separate them later.

In Chen Ping's opinion, the Chunyang Five Elements Sword made of the third-level material Qingxuan Iron Essence is far inferior to the sixth-level Wutong leaf petiole.

Wutong leaves are of immeasurable value. Even an inconspicuous petiole, if put up for auction, will trigger a frenzied fight among Golden Elixir monks.

One and a half million low-grade spiritual stones, this is the amount estimated by Chen Ping.

He has currently collected three petioles, with a total price of more than four million spiritual stones.

Moreover, the best sacred object to create the body of the Pure Yang Sword is the Bamboo Reincarnation.

This bamboo is also a sixth-level spiritual object, rarer and more precious than sycamore leaves. Chen Ping does not dare to have extravagant hopes at the moment.
