The sky is getting dark and the sea breeze is howling incessantly.

In Yuxuan Cave.

Xue Yun bowed and handed over the storage bag and said respectfully: "Pinglang, here are the treasures you told me to purchase. They are all good. They cost a total of 530 spiritual stones."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Ping glanced at the items under his eye bags, said nothing, and turned to stare at Xue Yun quietly.

He was quite satisfied with the fact that the girl in front of him was efficient and cautious.

Although the spiritual items she was ordered to purchase this time were of a low level, they were in quantity in the hundreds.

Not only did this woman buy everything within half a day, but she also split her purchases into multiple stores, which should prevent anyone from paying attention.

It’s not an exaggeration to comment on the previous sentence of being wise, ingenious, and rigorous in doing things.

Unfortunately, she happens to be the worst low-grade spiritual root.

Building a foundation is even harder than reaching the sky, let alone the realms that follow.

"You should be very clear about your qualifications. After sixteen years of practice, you are still lingering on the third level of Qi training. Even if you have my help in the future, the foundation building period will be your end."

"So I think you should choose to minor in a heretic art as soon as possible, so that it will be helpful to me in the future."

Chen Ping spoke frankly and informed Xue Yun of his arrangements.

The so-called heretical arts include alchemy, talisman painting, tool casting, spiritual cultivation and other various arts of cultivation.

Generally, monks with outstanding talents rarely start practicing heretical techniques during the Qi training stage.

After all, the longevity of a Qi-training monk is not much higher than that of ordinary mortals.

Heretic techniques often take up a lot of time to study, and this is actually not worth the gain.

Listening to Chen Ping's words, a trace of sadness flashed deep in Xue Yun's beautiful eyes.

She is both lucky and unfortunate.

Twenty-one years ago, she was born in the direct lineage of the Xue family on Baiye Island.

When he was five years old, the family held a unified spiritual testing ceremony.

On that day, a total of eight children participated in the spirit testing.

In the end, she was the only one who was found to have spiritual roots of cultivation, thus avoiding the fate of being sent down to the mortal world by her family.

Her immortal path began with low-grade spiritual roots.

But precisely because it was only a low-grade spiritual root, it was difficult for her to practice.

No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain.

Three years ago, the clan leader issued an oral edict.

Then, like a puppet, she was sent to Haichang Island by her family to marry Chen Ping, whom she had never met.

She was said to be the couple of Qin Se and Ming, but in fact, Chen Ping originally only immersed himself in cultivation and basically regarded her as a transparent person, or even a maid.

Therefore, after confirming that the Taoist monk had been taken away by a high-level monk, what emerged in her heart was not only a trace of pain and worry, but also boundless excitement and excitement!

The cultivation world in Yuanyan Islands is relatively poor.

The price of a foundation-building pill with one pattern is as high as 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and more than 40,000 with two patterns.

Looking at a large and powerful family like the Chen family, it would take them two to thirty years to accumulate spiritual stones before they could buy one for their outstanding descendants.

According to the previous training track, she, Xue Yun, is still far away from the foundation-building pill.

Without the assistance of foundation-building pills, transcendental purifying water and other spiritual objects, the success rate of low-grade spiritual roots in attacking the foundation-building realm is less than 10%.

It is worth mentioning that the age of sixty is the last limit for reaching the foundation building realm.

Can you reach the peak of Qi training on your own and then fight to the death to build the foundation?

The chances are extremely slim!

Thinking of this, Xue Yun knelt down and said in a sincere tone: "Everything depends on the arrangements of the seniors!"

"Ah, very good."

Chen Ping gently lifted her up and said pointedly: "I see that you are quite interested in being a spirit tamer, so why not just concentrate on practicing this art!"

In this vast world, not only the human race is qualified to set foot on the immortal path.

Hundreds of races, including the monster race, sea race, ancient beast race, and giant spirit race, all have their own ways to become immortals.

The human race is one of the dominant forces in the cultivation world here, standing side by side with the demon race and the giant spirit race.

However, in the Haoyu Sea cultivation world where the ocean realm is much larger than the land realm, the sea tribe and the demon tribe are the most powerful racial forces.

The human race has succumbed to it, and the situation of passive defense has lasted for endless years.

Fortunately, the human race has awakened its wisdom earlier, and has created endless new secret techniques.

The secret technique of taming spirits is one of the best.

Those who tame spirits are demons.

Monsters that have been domesticated in a specific way and can be driven by humans can be called spiritual beasts.

The strength of spiritual beasts and monster beasts is divided into the same categories, ranging from one to six levels, corresponding to the Qi training stage to the god transformation stage of human cultivators.

Spiritual beasts can help monks fight.

Some people with extraordinary talents are good at hunting for treasures and identifying the authenticity of treasures; some can breathe out spiritual fire and assist the alchemist in making elixirs.

After using the secret method to control, it is basically impossible to rebel against the Devourer, which is a big help.

Therefore, among the various arts of cultivation, spirit taming is one of the most popular minor paths.

Turning his right hand, Chen Ping found a jade slip as big as an ink plate in his hand.

In front of Xue Yun, Chen Ping gathered the power of his consciousness and quickly burned it into the jade slip.

When he was young, he handed the jade slip to Xue Yun and explained: "There is a secret technique written in it, called the Book of Forbidden Demons."

"This technique includes techniques related to recognizing animals, taming them, raising them, controlling them, etc."

"But for now, I only have the first half of the content. As for the follow-up, I will wait until you break through the foundation building before I hand it over to you."

Xue Yun took the jade slip and looked through it briefly.

"ah……!"

Xue Yun couldn't help but exclaim, surprise and fear appeared alternately on her beautiful face.

I can't blame her for being so pretentious.

The level of the Forbidden Demon Book is the upper level of Huangpin, which is one level higher than the Chen family's clan-suppressing technique.

The complete secret method can be exchanged for two foundation-building pills!

Not to mention Xue Yun, even foundation-building monks would go crazy for this secret article.

"I guess you don't need to say anything, you should know how to do it."

Chen Ping said in a serious tone.

"Yun'er knows very well that she will never reveal a single word about the Forbidden Demon Book."

Xue Yun said firmly.

Her hands clasped the jade slip tightly, as if she was afraid that it would escape at the next moment.

"Well, I usually study more carefully."

Later, Chen Ping gave her three hundred spirit stones to buy animal eggs and animal food, and asked her to guard the cave.

This time, I will never leave until my cultivation reaches the sixth level of Qi training.

"Boom!"

The door to the secret room closed suddenly.

Opening the full storage bag, Chen Ping had a thought, and dozens of fiery red herbs and two pieces of purple ore flew out automatically.

These spiritual herbs and minerals are all common things.

Although it is the first level, it contains thin fire-attribute spiritual power, which can be smelted into spiritual bath water. After soaking in it and absorbing it, it can increase the speed of movement by about 40%.

Chen Ping took the spiritual sword, injected it with spiritual power, and then slashed it vertically and horizontally on the ground.

"Boom"

Soon, a hole nearly half a foot long and wide and about three feet deep was cut out.

Then, Chen Ping clicked with his fingers and threw out a few elixirs.

…

Two days passed by in a flash, and with Chen Ping's full urging, the spiritual bath water was successfully refined.

In the hole next to him, there was a pool of fiery red viscous liquid that was almost overflowing.

At this moment, the temperature in the closed chamber increased significantly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping immediately took off his clothes and sat straight into the hole.

At the same time, the Nine-Transformation Flame Spirit Art automatically operated, and a huge swallowing force began to emerge from the Dantian, beginning to absorb the fire attribute energy in the spiritual bath water.

Originally, the fire-attribute spiritual power contained in spiritual herbs and ores was very complex and extremely violent.

It cannot be used directly.

After being refined into spiritual bath water through the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Jue, it can be easily stored in the spiritual points in the body without causing discomfort in the meridians.

He had practiced the Nine Transformations Flame Spirit Technique for three hundred years in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with the art of Qi training. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was as simple as eating and drinking for a mortal.

As the fiery red color of the spiritual bath water becomes thinner and thinner, it means that Chen Ping is rapidly absorbing the medicinal power.

When the red spring gradually turned into milky white, Chen Ping jumped up from the cave, took a Bigu Pill and began to refine the spiritual bath water.

Bigu Pill is a famous first-grade elixir. Taking one pill can offset hunger for half a month.

The main materials and auxiliary materials for refining this elixir are relatively common, and the elixir yield rate remains high, with up to five to six hundred pills being produced at one time.

Therefore, a bottle of Bigu Pill with one pattern only costs ten low-grade spiritual stones. In total, every two pills are worth only one spiritual stone.

Although practitioners are not like ordinary people, they will fall into weakness if they do not eat or drink water for a day.

However, before breaking through to the golden elixir stage, it is impossible to truly inediate grains, but the ability to withstand hunger and thirst has been greatly enhanced.

This means that Bigu Dan has no worries about sales in the low-end market, and can basically sell as much as it comes out of the oven.

In the vast world of cultivation, there are even a few forces that specialize in refining Bigu Pills for a living.

…

Time flies.

Three and a half months have passed since Chen Ping returned to the sixth level of Qi training he had practiced before San Gong.

Now he has opened 300 meridians and more than 160 spiritual points, and his magical power alone is more than three times that of before.

The purity of the spiritual power produced by the Nine-Transformation Flame Spirit Technique is even more different than that of the Moistening Fire Technique.

Coupled with the power of spiritual consciousness that far exceeds the level of Qi training, and the fighting experience that even the masters of foundation building can't match, although Chen Ping only has the sixth level of Qi training, he is not an ordinary ninth-level Qi training monk.

Three enemies.

Why is it said that he is an ordinary Qi practicing monk?

Because the strength of a handful of monks cannot be measured by common sense.

Chen Ping suffered great losses in his previous life.

I still remember participating in a sect competition when I was at the ninth level of Qi training. He passed all the way, but lost in the decisive battle to a fellow disciple who only had the eighth level of Qi training.

That junior brother is a direct descendant of the ancestor of Jin Dan.

He held several top-quality magic weapons in his hand, and there were as many protective treasures as stars, forcing him to try his best to fail to hurt the opponent. In the end, when his spiritual power was exhausted, he had to admit defeat.

It can be seen from this that the battle between monks is based on state of mind, but the addition of external treasures to strength should not be underestimated.

Chen Ping tapped on the storage bag, and a green spirit sword and an earthy yellow, six-inch square shield suddenly appeared, suspended in front of his waist.

The magic weapons used by monks are divided into six levels according to their quality.

They are magical artifacts, spiritual artifacts, Taoist artifacts, psychic Dao artifacts, spiritual treasures and heavenly spiritual treasures.

Each major level is subdivided into four levels: low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, and top-grade.

Magical weapons are suitable for use by Qi-training monks, while spiritual weapons are generally only controllable by Foundation-building monks.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of magic weapon, the more spiritual power is required.

There are a very small number of monks at the ninth level of Qi training. Because they have practiced high-level skills and have strong spiritual power that is close to the foundation-building stage, they may be able to barely activate their spiritual weapons to defend against enemies.

There is no doubt that Chen Ping, who masters the Nine-Transformation Flame Spirit Art, is also on this list.

Of course, he is still far from reaching the ninth level of Qi training.

The small green sword and square shield summoned by Chen Ping are both high-grade magic weapons.

The small green sword is called the "green pattern sword".

He spent 500 spirit stones to buy it after he broke through the sixth level of Qi training.
