"Lingshan, the heir you mentioned before you left last time was probably a lie to me, right?"

Afterwards, the two of them cuddled together. Chen Ping gently touched the beauty's back and asked lightly.

Hearing him ask about this, her fragrant shoulders trembled slightly, and Gong Lingshan said quietly: "It's fake. You are so smart, you won't believe it."

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you have it."

Chen Pingpi said with a smile, feeling relieved in his heart.

He only cares about the climb, and he doesn't want anyone to be his weakness.

"By the way, could you please make a copy of your sect's Tiansu Yunshui Jue and give it to me?"

Chen Ping moved his fingers dishonestly and continued.

Turning her Qiu eyes, Gong Lingshan pressed his hand under her body and said plaintively: "Are you blaming me for using my power to suppress others and taking away the Chen family's Tianluo Zhiyang magic method?"

"no."

Chen Ping shook his head bluntly and said slowly: "Don't worry, I only intend to pass on the Tiansu Yunshui Jue to one person, and it will never be leaked."

"Fellow Taoist Xue Yun?"

Gong Lingshan turned over and said in a suspicious tone.

Chen Ping had a Taoist companion, and as far as she knew, he was a low-level Shuilinggen monk.

Originally, all this had nothing to do with her, but now that she has committed herself to Chen Ping, the real Taoist monk is naturally regarded by her as a potential enemy.

"Um."

Chen Ping responded, stood up and put on his Taoist robe.

Tiansu Yunshui Jue is indeed what Xue Yun asked for.

Moreover, in the follow-up, Gong Lingshan, the Supreme Elder, would be required to open up the meridians for her to carry water and condense ice, in order to unleash the greatest power of this technique.

With a flash of light in her eyes, Gong Lingshan pursed her red lips and said nothing.

She couldn't understand why, with Chen Ping's current status and abilities, he would spend time and resources on a woman who was doomed to have a hopeless career.

Gong Lingshan was very puzzled. In her heart, Chen Ping was an extremely rational person who did not get up early for any benefit.

Is there really an unforgettable love between the two?

"Isn't Lingshan unwilling?"

Chen Ping sat on the bed, poured a cup of tea, and then glanced at her coldly.

Gong Lingshan is lucky.

He always kept in mind the enmity that this woman had when she went on a rampage in a spiritual ship and snatched hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones and a Xuanpin Kung Fu.

If it weren't for the Deng and Pu tribes who were really powerful and needed to cooperate with the Broken Star Sect this time, how could he give up so easily.

Being stared at by Chen Ping's cold eyes, Gong Lingshan felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. She forced a smile and said: "Since it is only passed on to fellow Taoist Xue Yun, I can still make the decision on this matter."

"Thank you Lingshan for being so accommodating. You can rest well while I go out for a walk."

Chen Ping's expression softened a little, he opened the door and walked to the backyard.

The bright moon, which is not yet full, gradually rises high into the sky.

At night in late autumn, the breeze blowing has a hint of coolness.

Chen Ping stood in front of the pool with his arms folded, and fell into deep thought for a long time.

Taking the initiative to provoke a dispute with Kongming Island was his impromptu plan.

After all, the foundation of the Chen family is too weak, and with step-by-step development, it will take many years and months to reach a level that he recognizes.

Feng Tianyu's words aroused great vigilance in him.

A hundred years later, the Yuanyan Islands will undergo great changes. If the Chen family cannot grow rapidly, it will sooner or later be destroyed and flattened by the general trend.

It would be better to swallow up a few established forces before his strength is completely exposed, and rise to the top by stepping on others' foundations.

If it succeeds, Haichang Chen Sect will save thousands of years of accumulation and become one of the top forces next to Jindan Sect and Wangqin Island.

If you lose, you won't have much to blame.

The fighting skills of high-level monks were changing rapidly, and he had prepared all kinds of back-ups. The Deng and Pu tribes had been standing for more than two thousand years. How could they not have a few trump cards hidden that could change the situation of the battle?

Chen Ping's advantage is that his real strength has surpassed the enemy's number one, Deng Fengcheng.

This vital information is absolutely unknown to the Deng family and the Pu family.

He hoped that Deng Fengcheng would underestimate Haichang and not bring out his trump cards to suppress the fate of the clan.

Chen Ping sincerely roped in Broken Star Gate to participate, not purely relying on the two Yuan Dan monks Fan Yiqiao and Gong Lingshan, but because he valued their connections.

Yes, Broken Star Sect has been run with great effort for dozens of generations. Even within the Sea Territory Overlord Lanyue Sect, there are high-level officials who speak for it.

Just like behind the Ni Xing Sect, standing was Chu Qingling, a great sword cultivator in the late Yuan Dan period of the Lan Yue Sect.

This person was very fond of Jin Zhaoheng, whose talent in swordsmanship was outstanding.

Before the rise of Jinrui Island, Chu Qingling made a special trip to the mountain to pay homage and warned Broken Star Gate not to strangle Jin Zhaoheng.

It is precisely because of his intimidation that the Broken Star Sect is now in a situation of breeding tigers.

Gong Lingshan's hatred for Chu Qingling was barely concealed, but she also understood how pale and feeble this hatred was.

Who is Chu Qingling?

Not only is he the mountain master of the Sword-holding Peak of Lan Yue Sect, but he is also one of the golden elixir seeds canonized by the sect.

He has a high position, powerful background, and unparalleled strength. Trying to overthrow him is nothing more than throwing an egg at a stone.

Fortunately, the high-ranking officials who support Broken Star Gate are not low-ranking either.

The chief and deputy mountain masters of Lanyue Sect's Dharma Peak are the backers of Broken Star Sect.

Under their interference, Lan Yue decided not to help each other and allowed Shattering Star and Ni Xing to fight for the orthodoxy.

Originally, what worried Chen Ping the most was whether the senior officials of the Lan Yue Sect who supported him would become angry after he slaughtered the Deng and Pu monks.

But Fan Yiqiao's words dispelled his worries.

The Lanyue Sect is complicated internally. The two Jindan ancestors enjoy the honor of Beidou. They focus mainly on the defense line of the beast tide in the waters of the Twin Cities and basically ignore the intrigues of the forces below.

The people who really manage the sect's chores are a dozen powerful Yuan Dan, including Chu Qingling and several other mountain masters, as well as three third-level peak spiritual beasts.

The three monsters commonly known as "Old Toad, Old Bird, and Old Worm" in the outside world are respectively the Thousand-Eyed Ancient Toad, the Blue Flame Dark Snapper, and the Nine-Yin Heart-Refining Centipede.

The three demons all possess the rare bloodline of the heavenly demon, and their strength is equivalent to half a step of golden elixir.

Although they are all alien races, they have guarded the Lan Yue sea area for thousands of years and made great military exploits for the human race, which has attracted many small forces under Lan Yue to join them.

The object of worship on Kongming Island and Gujiao Island is none other than the Nine Yin Heart-Refining Centipede, one of the three demons.

A few years ago, Fan Yiqiao would never have dared to agree to form an alliance with the Chen family due to the pressure from Senior Jiuyin.

You must know that the old centipede is famous for protecting his shortcomings, but the gain outweighs the gain and his crazy revenge after destroying the Deng family.

However, about seven years ago, a major event occurred that shocked the world.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancient Toad broke through the bottleneck and entered the fourth level.

Once this toad reached the fourth level, it immediately began to suppress its once sworn enemy, the Nine Yin Heart-Refining Centipede.

In recent years, Jiuyin's wings within the sect have been almost all cut off.

Jiuyindu itself cannot be protected, and the forces outside the sect that rely on it are even more anxious, fearing that the ancient toad's claws will attack.

Fortunately, maybe the human Jindan intervened, and Gu Chan did not clean up the human forces under Jiuyin.

But this also means that in the short term, the relationship between the Deng family and the Pu family in the senior circles of Lan Yue Sect is on the verge of being severed.

If the Chen family and Broken Star Sect, whose backers are still there, join forces to eat them, at least they don't have to fear the Shangzong's accountability.

When Chen Ping first heard Fan Yiqiao talk about this secret, he was shocked and also had a different idea.

It has been seven years since the new fourth-level demon appeared in Lan Yue, but Haichang has not collected any information.

In the final analysis, in addition to the deficiencies in the family's intelligence system, the Chen family does not have suitable informants within the Lan Yue Sect.

Yesterday, Chen Xiangwen revealed that the Chen family has made various efforts to establish relationships with giants.

Two hundred years ago, a certain ancestor of the family went to Lan Yue with a heavy responsibility and passed the selection process to join this sect.

The ancestor has a high-grade spiritual root, which is considered an extraordinary talent in a small place, but to the Jindan Sect, it is an ordinary qualification.

Therefore, the ancestor worked hard for half his life and was only an outer disciple. After building the foundation, he became an inconspicuous little deacon and died in depression.

Since the death of their ancestor, his descendants have gradually lost contact with the Haichang clan.

The Chen family was extremely disappointed with this result and completely gave up their extravagant hopes.

If you can't even get high-grade spiritual roots, it doesn't make much sense to continue sending outstanding juniors into Lan Yue.

Chen Ping was noncommittal about the attempt two hundred years ago. Not to mention the time and money spent, it was still difficult to gain a foothold in Lanyue.

His idea is much simpler, to directly join the existing senior leaders of Lan Yue Sect.

For example, the main and deputy mountain masters of Chuanfa Peak and the newly promoted great demon Thousand-Eyed Ancient Toad are both good choices.

Among them, the Thousand-Eyed Ancient Toad impressed Chen Ping extremely deeply.

On the way to Wangqin Island, this demon once teamed up with the true disciple Shen Wanwan to hijack the spirit ship and force the cultivators to offer spiritual stones.

Although Chen Ping likes to hold grudges, there is no harm in giving in temporarily when his strength does not allow it.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. In the world of cultivation, let alone ten years, even a hundred years is not too late.

Presumably the Yuandan forces of the human race took the initiative to join them, and Gu Chan would not refuse.

However, Chen Ping was not prepared to have direct contact with a genuine fourth-level demon who was good at using the soul.

Shen Wanwan, who has a close relationship with Gu Chan, may be the best candidate to win over.

This woman has an earth-level spiritual root, possesses a top-level spiritual body, and has most likely broken through the Yuan Dan.

"Xing Linnian should be on Lanyue Island at this time."

Touching his chin, Chen Ping thought in his mind.

At the last family meeting, he ordered Xing Linnian to travel to Lanyue to report to him that the Chen family had given birth to two Yuan Dan.

It seems that when Xing Linnian returns to the clan, he will be asked to make another trip.

…

"I've met the Supreme Elder."

In the bamboo house, an old man with white hair knelt down on his trembling knees and said respectfully.

This man's face was wrinkled and loose like the bark of a tree soaked in water, and his whole body was gloomy. He was clearly on the verge of death.

"stand up."

A trace of emotion flashed in Chen Ping's eyes, he stopped the old man from kneeling, and with a finger, a futon appeared behind him.

The old man quickly clasped his fists and said excitedly: "Thank you, Supreme Elder, for your grace."

"sit down."

Chen Ping patted his shoulder gently, and the brown elixir inside his body began to circulate, and a trace of elixir energy entered.

The old man suddenly became energetic and his face turned rosy.

Seeing this, Chen Ping sighed, Dan Qi cannot prolong life, it can only make the body's aging process slower.

Chen Qiudong's life has reached its end, and he has at most three or five years left.

The maximum lifespan of a Qi-training monk is one hundred and twenty years, but due to the withering of vitality, there are not a few who die prematurely.

"Elder Taishang, there is no need to feel sorry for me. I have lived in Qiu and Dong for more than a hundred years without any disasters, and I have witnessed the rapid development of my family. I am very satisfied."

Chen Qiudong swallowed his throat and said quite openly.

He has been in a high position for a long time in his life, and he has been highly valued by the Supreme Elders. The Qi Practitioner's contacts are all Foundation Establishment monks, and he has all kinds of blessings that ordinary people cannot envy.

"I heard that Chen Qin has established a foundation."

Pouring him a cup of tea, Chen Ping said with a smile.

Chen Qiudong squeezed his wrinkles and said happily: "Thanks to the blessing of the Supreme Elder Hong Fu, Qin'er can rush into the foundation building before the age of sixty, and will not follow in my footsteps."

"Haha, what you said is true. I have chosen a good husband for her."

Chen Ping put down his teacup and said half-jokingly.

Just now, he browsed the jade slips presented in the enshrinement hall, and unexpectedly discovered that in the few months since he left, the Chen family had gained two more foundation-building monks.

One is Sun Tong, a talisman master who works in the worship hall, and the other is Chen Qin, Chen Qiudong's daughter.

At the beginning, he resisted all opinions and gave the Foundation Establishment Pill to Chen Qin for use.

It's a pity that this woman failed to live up to her expectations, and her first foundation building ended in failure.

Seeing that he was approaching sixty, Ye Mofan took advantage of a break in prospecting and bought a two-marked Foundation-Building Pill from a certain alchemy master.

It was after swallowing this elixir that Chen Qin achieved a breakthrough and is currently in retreat to consolidate her cultivation.

"Mo Fan is a responsible and good son-in-law. I always treat him as my own son."

Chen Qiudong said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Chen Ping's choice of son-in-law.

With Sun Tong and Chen Qin building the foundation successively, the position of his lineage is as stable as Mount Tai. Even under the Nine Springs, he still has the confidence to face his ancestors.

"Ye Keqing's character is beyond doubt."

Chen Ping praised in agreement, changed the subject, and said: "Qiudong, there is a task that requires the Internal Affairs Department to do its best to execute."

"Sir, please give me instructions."

Chen Qiudong immediately became energetic and said loudly.

"The Internal Affairs Hall will take the lead and requisition all the spirit boats managed by Xingzhidang and Baiye Island to bring the people within our clan's territorial waters back to Haichang City for resettlement."

With his fingers tapping the tea cup regularly, Chen Ping gave instructions calmly.

Hearing this, Chen Qiudong's eyelids jumped and he asked cautiously: "Including mortals?"

"certainly."

Chen Ping's eyes did not change, and he said solemnly: "Time is running out, I ask you to complete it within half a month."

"It's okay for the monks, but the number of mortals is over 1.4 million. If all of them are relocated, the Ministry of Internal Affairs may not have enough manpower."

Chen Qiudong, who has become a mature man, did not ask the reason, but complained as if negotiating terms.

Chen Ping considered for a moment and said in a strong tone: "In this way, during the period of large-scale personnel transfer, all the halls of the family will be under the control of your internal affairs department. Anyone who does not cooperate can be killed first in autumn and winter."

"still have a question."

After hearing this, Chen Qiudong smiled bitterly and said, "Haichang City seems to be unable to accommodate so many mortals."

"This Presbyterian Church arranges for the foundation-building monks to build a batch of high-rise buildings with dozens of floors. Each person can be assigned a room ten feet wide and narrow. Anyway, it is a temporary place to stay. In the future, people from the six towns on the island will also move into the city together.

.”

Chen Ping took a sip of tea and said calmly: "If Qiudong still has difficulties, just speak up."

"No, I will take care of it now."

Chen Qiudong's heart trembled. The last time the family mobilized troops to relocate people could be traced back to the beast tide disaster more than three hundred years ago. Could the legendary beast tide disaster be about to break out again?

After Chen Qiudong retreated worriedly, a spiritual light suddenly fluctuated in the corner, and Gong Lingshan appeared. She whispered softly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are to prevent the Deng and Pu tribes from massacring the island and destroying the city.

Act of?"

"It is better to deal with it first than to take any chances and rely on the kindness of others."

Chen Ping pinched his wrist solemnly, and suddenly hugged Gong Lingshan's slim waist, smiling and said: "Lingshan, it's too strange for you to call me a fellow Taoist. In that nameless building

Xiaodao, how did you call me, come now."

"I'm... a few rounds older than you."

Gong Lingshan scolded angrily, her tone full of resentment.

The thought of that nameless island where she had been calling "Brother Ping" for half a year, made her feel hot all over, and she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl in.

Moreover, the lingering time of half a year and the strong masculine aura of the other party are still engraved in her heart.

"Since when did our monks use age to judge their status?"

Chen Ping pinched Gong Lingshan's vitals and said seriously: "I am stronger than you, so you have to listen to me."

"Are you a powerful person in the golden elixir? Why are you so domineering towards me?"

Being caressed wantonly by a pair of rough hands, the blush on Gong Lingshan's face became more and more charming. She gritted her teeth in humiliation and finally seemed to give in. She said in a low and inaudible voice: "Brother Ping, what did you do back then?"

If you see through my disguise, where do you have the courage to bully me?"

"Hehe, Lingshan's appearance is not alluring, but I wonder which man can remain pregnant with her."

He greedily smelled the fragrance, but it did not affect Chen Ping's unconscionable speech at all.

He accepted this girl solely because of the miraculous power of Shen Bing's spirit body.

Taking Yuan Yin to help him practice is his main purpose.

However, it seems inappropriate for Gong Lingshan to know such a disgraceful fact.

"Brother Ping..."

Chen Ping's love words made Gong Lingshan's heart beat faster, like a deer bumping around, raising her head stupidly in response to his request.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Chen Ping pushed her away with both hands, and said in a neutral tone: "Lingshan, is there any high-level ore stored in the treasure house of Broken Star Gate?"

Gong Lingshan was so shocked by his strange behavior that she was at a loss for a few breaths before she nodded and said: "If the high-grade ore that Brother Ping refers to includes the fourth grade, then there are indeed several pieces.

"

"What's the specific number?"

Chen Ping was overjoyed and asked calmly on the surface.

"Five dollars."

Gong Lingshan pondered for a moment and replied affirmatively.

"so much."

A flash of light flashed in Chen Ping's eyes, and he discussed: "Lingshan, how about I give you a batch of resources, and you exchange them for sect contribution points, and then redeem the ores and give them to me?"

"Is Brother Ping a weapon refiner?"

Gong Lingshan did not agree immediately and asked suspiciously.

"No, my natal spiritual sword is rather special. The quality can be improved by incorporating high-grade ores, that's all."

Chen Ping had already prepared his words, which were difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"This is the first time Lingshan has heard of the magic weapon that can improve quality by adding minerals."

Gong Lingshan folded her hair in disbelief and said: "Due to the war between the two sects, Senior Brother Fan has been suppressed on the front line all year round, so he usually carries valuable treasures with him."
Chapter completed!
