Chapter 873: A wonderful story! The little golden lotus boy
When Qingying first asked, it was an unintentional mistake. She never expected that Taoist Xu Ping would come out of seclusion so soon.
Now, seeing Taoist Xu Ping asking how Qingying would continue to expose people's scars, she immediately denied it:
"Master Xu, you heard wrong. What I mean is that now you have accumulated a lot of experience and have broken through the realm of great supernatural powers. Those vulgar people who looked down on you in the past will look at you with admiration."
"Haha~"
Taoist priest Xu Ping smiled, but he felt guilty in his heart.
He had just made a breakthrough. His power and consciousness were unprecedentedly powerful. How could he hear it wrong?
The most important thing is that he always felt that something was wrong with the look in Qingying's girl's eyes just now. There was a hint of pity and sympathy in her eyes when she looked at him.
Taoist Master Xu Ping was puzzled. Without saying a word, he sent a message from his spiritual consciousness to his disciple Chu Chen:
"what happened?"
Chu Chen apologized in embarrassment, worried that the master would break the casserole and reveal the truth in front of outsiders, so he quickly explained.
"Master, it's really not my fault. I just started it casually. Who would have thought that Master improvised and arranged a quasi-master's wife for you who almost married you..."
Taoist Xu Ping: "..."
Even if Taoist Xu Ping is good at cultivating his Qi and doesn't get angry easily, now he is about to explode, and his anger can't be felt anywhere.
Why is it bad to make up a story? I have to make up a story like this...
Immediately, his eyes fell on the guilty Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Fu Ling, and he wanted to curse, but he was worried about his master and his uncle was an elder, so he couldn't curse;

As a result, Taoist Xu Ping's eyes fell on the innocent-looking Chu Chen again. He wanted to teach the master's rebellious disciple, but he thought about it carefully.
Forget it, I can't beat it...
Just when Taoist Xu Ping was furious and couldn't get angry, a certain kid came to Taoist Xu Ping's side with a face full of joy, knelt down and bowed:
"Dongdongdong! Congratulations to the master for breaking through to the realm of great supernatural powers!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping saw the little devil kowtow to congratulate him. Xu Ping had a comparison, and for a while he felt some comfort in his heart.
He is still a pure and sweet kid who doesn't mess around with people.
Thinking of this, Taoist Xu Ping showed a look of kindness on his face, and he immediately wanted to touch the little devil's head.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the little devil spoke again:
"Master, don't be sad. Everything is over. That bad woman will definitely regret it."
Xu Pingdao stretched out his hand and froze in mid-air, as dumb as a wooden chicken.
Chu Chen, Fu Hua, Fu Ling, Qingying: "..."
The entire Qingchen Cave fell into an eerie silence.
The little kid was confused and scratched his head:
"Master, Senior Brother, Sister Ying'er, why are you so still and talking? No one is talking anymore..."
...
As the saying goes, in the past there was nothing to be proud of for being sordid, but now there is no limit to the dissolute thoughts.
Once Xu Ping broke through the realm and entered the realm of great supernatural powers, when the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Yunzhou. It was truly a sight to behold.
Yunzhou Mu Sima Li and Taihe Taoist, the governor of the state, personally came to congratulate. Even if a group of monks with great supernatural powers did not come in person, they sent their trusted followers to come to congratulate them. The Qingchen Cave Mansion outside the city of Yuqin County immediately became very lively, with an endless stream of guests and a bustling crowd.
.
This scene was even more grand than when Chu Chen broke through to the realm of great supernatural powers.
After all, the senior officials in Yunzhou all know that Yunshui Taoist Xu Ping's disciple is extremely talented. He is a fourth-grade Dzogchen Demon Deputy who is less than a year old. Now that both master and disciple have developed great supernatural powers, it is a good story.
The grand scene at the beginning was largely due to Chu Chen. A master is a disciple.
However, as Ning Dao and others publicized the story of the True Spirit of Xinghai [Golden Lotus Planted in the Fire], subtle changes occurred subsequently.
Each school and each sect has its own emphasis on cultivating essence, refining Qi, and preserving spirit. They are all different. However, they are inseparable from their sects and reach the same goal through different paths. After each school and sect reaches the realm of great supernatural powers, the focus of practice changes from "life skills"
Turned to "Xinggong".
Condensing the true spirit of the Sea of Nature, not only is it difficult for inner demons to arise, and cultivation is smoother, it is also very useful in reaching the third-level realm in the future, and the chance of breaking through the bottleneck is increased by three points.
In other words, Taoist Xu Ping, who has gone through many hardships, has really accumulated a lot of experience and made great achievements this time.
All of a sudden, the eyes of all the powerful men with supernatural powers who came to congratulate Taoist Xu Ping changed. They were filled with envy and jealousy.
Of course, the real reason for Taoist Xu Ping's fame lies in his "past experience."
After people in the world heard about Taoist Xu Ping's spiritual practice, they ridiculed the woman who "had eyes but could not recognize the Lingyun tree". They also admired Taoist Xu Ping, and it became a good story.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The louder the "good stories" from the outside world, the louder the violent tremors on a certain kid's head.
After the Great Supernatural Power Banquet, Chu Chen met with his apprentices Guang Gengsheng and Chu Baiqing. After checking their homework and giving some advice, he took Qingying and the little ghost back to Cangzhou Demon Academy.
Sea of clouds in the sky.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The little ghost touched his head, feeling aggrieved, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes:
"It's too much. The spiritual incense I've been saving for so long is gone again, oooooooo~ It's too much."
"Hahahaha~"
Chu Chen laughed out loud and took pleasure in his misfortune.
Qingying, who was usually spoiled by little devils, now shook her head and said:
"Little devil, why did you talk so stupidly that you got into trouble with Master Xu?"
The little devil said: "I'm so quick to talk, so I don't think so much."
When Chu Chen heard this, he smiled and looked at the little ghost with eyes full of sympathy.
Master Xu Ping, Taoist priest, broke through the realm of great supernatural powers and attracted the advent of succubi from outside the realm. If it were placed on ordinary monks, it would not be a big deal, but the Lingshan sect is more sensitive, and it can even be said to be a bit "taboo".
Taoist Xu Ping was very dissatisfied with the story compiled by the three people, but for the sake of the reputation of the Lingshan Sect and the possible subsequent influence, he just accepted it with a pinched nose.
However, the anger in Taoist Xu Ping's heart must be inevitable if he admits it.
Chu Chen had already prepared to be scolded by his master, but who would have thought... the little devil would be so brave.
Good guy, in the end, the blame fell entirely on the little devil.
For a moment, Chu Chen felt a little guilty, and immediately took out a handful of high-level spiritual incense from the Bracelet Fairy Mansion and handed it to the little ghost boy:
"Okay, okay, senior brother Lingxiang will supply you."
When the kid heard this, he wiped away his tears and smiled through his tears:
"Senior brother is still kind to me!"
"That's natural!"
Qingying smiled when she saw that the little ghost was comforted, but soon she thought of something, her face was full of emotion, and she said:
"Erlang, it's also a [Golden Lotus Seed]. Master Xu has understood the true spirit of Xinghai, but my gains are far behind."
Qingying was quite embarrassed and felt that the treasure given by Chu Chen was a waste.
"Ying'er, what you have gained is amazing, don't underestimate yourself."
Chu Chen smiled and said again:
"I witnessed with my own eyes the vision of heaven and earth [Golden Lotus Planted in the Fire]. It did not condense the true spirit of the sea, but focused on the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. In fact, there is no distinction between the two. Their personal experiences are different and they cannot be compared.
."
In addition to recruiting more than 2,000 soldiers and horses during this trip to the underworld, Chu Chen's biggest gain was to consult Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan in person about the method of alchemy. He gained a new understanding of how to achieve golden elixirs and achieve immortality.
If you want to attain enlightenment and become an immortal, you must pay attention to the "unity of heaven and man."
"Heaven" refers to the natural laws of heaven and earth, and "human" refers to the practice of "Xing Gong", which is to cultivate the mind.
Only by understanding the great road, knowing one's mind and nature, and realizing one's self can one touch the "Tao".
Taoist Master Xu Ping condensed the true spirit of Xinghai, which is the good fruit of Xinggong. It will be of great benefit to his breakthrough in practice, and even to his attainment of immortality and enlightenment in the future.
"Yes, Master Xu has gone through many hardships, and it is only natural that he has achieved what he is today. It is just a matter of smooth flow."
After Qingying finished speaking, she recalled something and said with emotion:
"No wonder my father met Master Xu back then and concluded that he was a late bloomer. It turned out to be true. Master Xu will probably shine in the future."
Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
At that time, Mr. Qingyun, who was also an extremely powerful man of the third level, also made this assertion.
Master Xu Ping showed what it means to "accumulate deeply and gain strength". Once the true spirit of Xinghai emerges, the road to cultivating immortality will become wider and wider in the future, and the future is limitless.
While they were talking, Chu Chen and Qingying hurried back to Cangzhou City through the clouds and fog.
Qingying gained profound insights after swallowing [Golden Lotus Seeds]. Although the effect was not as good as that of Chu Chen and Xu Ping, her state of mind was greatly improved.
After arriving in Cangzhou City, Qingying went straight back to Cangzhou Qingchen Cave in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, and continued to attack the late fourth stage and even the Great Perfection.
As for Chu Chen, he went to the Demonic Academy to fulfill his duties as deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As soon as he returned to the Demon Academy, his superiors, Master Hui Xin, Han Chen, Wang Ping, Little Monk Yuantong and other people who knew about it all congratulated him and congratulated him on his master's breakthrough to the realm of great supernatural powers.
The scene was quite lively, but there were also minor accidents.
The practice world has always congratulated certain disciples for being successful disciples, but when it came to him, everything was reversed.
From word to word, many of the newly transferred subordinates who were uninformed mistook Xu Ping for Chu Chen's disciple. When they saw Chu Chen, they bowed their hands and said something like "Congratulations to Xu Ping, my disciple, for becoming a great supernatural power" and "Famous Master".
Yunyun, the "disciple", made Chu Chen quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, with Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and other confidants, this "misunderstanding" was not allowed to spread. Instead, Chu Chen invisibly established an impression of "immeasurable immortality" in front of the newly transferred subordinates.
It's an unintentional gain.
...
During the days when he went to the Netherworld, major events occurred in the eight southwest states. The "catastrophe" described by Master Huixin was still hanging in the balance, and the senior officials of the entire eight southwest states were quite nervous.
After understanding the situation, Chu Chen did not overestimate his ability and get involved.
On the one hand, he let his avatar [Five-Colored Dream Dragon] sit in the Libu compound, fulfill the responsibilities of Libu's deputy, and take charge of the fifth and sixth squadrons of the Libu again, coordinating the extermination of demons in various places under his command.
As for this deity, he is going back to the cave to offer sacrifices and refine his soldiers and horses.
This time he went to the Netherworld and recruited more than two thousand high-level soldiers in one go. Naturally, he would not ignore them.
Maintaining troops and horses has always been extremely expensive.
Chu Chen spent most of his savings in the past few years, and this was only the initial investment. The subsequent daily training of soldiers and horses, and the amount of jade and incense spent on martial arts training were also not a small amount.
For this reason, he, who never asked Qingying for money, finally accepted Qingying's five million jade fund this time.
Originally, Qingying planned to give 10 million, and also planned to continue raising money, but Chu Chen finally stopped her.
After all, he refines his weapons with secret techniques, not with jade coins, so his current expenses are not that high.
What is really missing is the "thousand-year-old spiritual bean".
Over the years, Chu Chen has not given up cultivating the Millennium Spirit Beans. He has accumulated more than 700 Millennium Spirit Beans in his hands, and he has killed more than 2,000 soldiers in one go. The Thousand Years Spirit Beans he accumulated are not enough.
However, fortunately, the "Millennium Spirit Beans" are currently being cultivated in Qingchen Cave, and Qingying's chamber of commerce often collects "Millennium Spirit Beans" for him, so there is no need to worry.
Of course, what's more important is that Chu Chen currently has the military magic weapon [Iron-Blooded Danxin Gourd] to sacrifice and refine his soldiers and horses, and his soldiers and horses will not die easily in battle, so the need for [Fairy Beans] is not that urgent.
The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
Practice in the pure room.
Chu Chen sat cross-legged, with the treasure gourd around his waist sending out crimson energy, causing birds to soar.
In front of him, a weapon-refining dojo the size of a millstone stood suspended in the air. Three thousand soldiers and horses were in uniform, leading the Dao Qi to mix themselves, and a chilling Qi soared into the sky.
"Huh~"
Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.
In one month, he refined more than 2,000 Fengdu Yin soldiers under his command into Yellow Turban Warriors, and spent all the more than 700 thousand-year-old spiritual beans in his hands to transform them into fairy bean soldiers.
After some training, the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command took on a new look.
Especially the newly recruited soldiers and horses, after learning about the past of "Mage Chu Chen" and his amazing talent and immortality from the veterans, their cohesion greatly increased.
Soldiers who are willing to follow Chu Chen from the underworld to start a business are essentially "enterprising" ghosts.
The stronger the master he follows, the better the prospects. Chu Chen perfectly meets the expectations of all Fengdu Yin soldiers, so the cohesion will naturally become stronger and the military morale will become more stable.
Of course, in addition to cultivating military magical powers, Chu Chen also did not forget to practice the [Shangqing Golden Lotus Crown], [Water Letter Seal] and [Fire Letter Seal].
In particular, the [Golden Lotus Crown of the Supreme Purity] contains the creation of heaven and earth. After a month of sacrifice, your spirituality will greatly increase.
As soon as he thought about it, Chu Chen thought of something and pinched the magic formula with his hands.
Immediately, a golden light flashed above his head.
In a blink of an eye, the golden light fell to the ground and transformed into a little golden lotus boy with pink and jade carvings and short legs and lotus arms.
There was a "pop" sound.
The little boy Jin Lian knelt on the ground and said with a milky voice:
"Jin Lian pays homage to Mr. Jin Lian."
"Um!"
Chu Chen was extremely satisfied when he saw the increasingly lively eyes of the little Jin Lian boy.
It is indeed a spiritual treasure!
They are both "transformation magic weapons", but the difference is extremely big.
[Water Letter Seal] [Fire Letter Seal] has become a transformation magic weapon, but its body is just an ordinary fourth-grade lightning strike jujube tree. Its spirituality is far inferior to that of the spiritual root fairy treasure. It is wooden and dull. It can only be waved like an arm when he orders it.
make.
However, the little Jin Lian boy in front of him is different. He was born with spiritual intelligence, and his mind is similar to that of a ten-year-old child. He is born with the power of mysterious laws. Whether it is the power of the magic weapon or the subsequent growth, it is not comparable to the two seals of water and fire.
.
With the help of the Golden Lotus boy, his confidence in the third-grade magical power on the hard steel on the front has been further increased.
"Sir, can I go play with Brother Xiaoguizi? I have been practicing diligently today..."
"go Go!"
Chu Chen smiled gently and did not stop him.
The Golden Lotus boy and the little ghost boy are similar in intelligence, equally innocent and silly, and they are very fun to play.
While playing, little Golden Lotus children can become smarter and more spiritual.
The stronger your spirituality, the more powerful your magic weapon will be.
This is also a kind of practice.
After sending away the little boy with golden lotus, Chu Chen originally planned to look inside and practice some cultivation, but as a result, the little boy with golden lotus left and returned very quickly.
To be precise, it was the little devil who dragged the little boy Jin Lian into the pure practice room.
"Senior Brother, something bad is going on. The aura of calamity suddenly erupted in the sky, covering the sky and the sun..."
Chu Chen was shocked when he heard this.
"Here it comes, the calamity that Master Hui Xin talks about is coming."
