There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 555 Some minor conflicts
On the mountainside to the south of Qianmu Mountain, most of the originally dense woods were cut down at some point. The steps leading to the dojo on the top of the mountain were branched out into a trail at some point, and were paved with bluestone slabs, leading directly to the mountainside where the trees were cut down. .

Dozens of outer disciples are leveling the ground here, trying to create a foundation. Some disciples outside the warehouse in the front hall at the foot of the mountain are counting the giant trees that have been transported back in previous years, and they should be selected to make beams.

The disciples who came back from their training all stopped and looked around, and curiously asked: "Are you building another palace?"

When you ask this question, someone will immediately reply loudly: "It's an order passed down by Grandmaster Changqing, saying that a certain palace is to be built."

"That's right. The only way to move the forest on Qianmu Mountain is the order passed down by Grandmaster Changqing. Otherwise, the head of the academy would not dare to do so."

"Has Master Changqing been released from seclusion?" This is what the disciples who are out training are most concerned about.

"I left seclusion half a month ago. I have been meeting some monks who came to visit me every day these days. I also saw with my own eyes the heads of various academies coming to pay their respects."

"Then do you know that Master will continue to retreat?"

"How would I know!"

"Hey! Recently, some of the monks who entered the imperial court have gone too far. They even dared to interfere in our Taoist palace's cases. Last time, a few disciples from the casual cultivator alliance had a conflict with them and many people died. If the master is here, just say This will make the court admit its mistake."

"Gan Xing got the secret technique you gave him and ran around like crazy. He has hardly been on Nanlin Road these years. If I hadn't taken care of his sect's affairs, those disciples would have dispersed long ago."

"I know about this. The imperial court didn't take advantage either. I heard that two monks who entered the country died, and the Qi practitioners lost hundreds of people!"

Five days later.

"Not only the casual cultivator alliance, there was a case in the Huoyuan last time. It seemed that they went to Mozhou Road to investigate an evil cultivator who sacrificed to the people. In the end, they had conflicts with people from the court. I heard that most of the Huoyuan was dispatched and two people died. An inner disciple."

The disciples chatted more and more enthusiastically, and soon they talked about the recent conflicts with the imperial monks, as well as the disputes with other emerging sects.

Because of the rules set by the True Lord, monks above the second level have rarely appeared in public in the past ten years. Some small sects and local aristocratic families have taken the lead and joined forces with the court to compete for the resources of the big sects. At first, it was still very difficult. Restraint, but after the big faction chose to ignore it, they let them intensify their efforts.

Zi Luan was the first to come to Qianmu Temple, and he also brought a dozen disciples of the Six Heart Sect. The first two people were Hong Yuan and Qin Zifeng.

The two chatted for less than half an hour when Wu Quan also appeared with a dozen disciples from the Catacomb Sect.

After Wang Ping came out of seclusion, he sorted out the intelligence sent to him by puppets from various places and met with representatives from various factions. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Then, he sent the heads of the various academies of Qianmuguan to deliver his invitation letters. Zi Luan, Wu Quan and Gan Xing invited them to come over for a two-day gathering.

These three people are Wang Ping's important allies currently based on Nanlin Road. The three of them are also in need of Wang Ping's ally. After the invitation letter is sent out, except for Gan Xing who goes to Xizhou to find a magic weapon, the others Both of them responded immediately and said they would come as scheduled.

Wu Quan immediately explained to Gan Xing after seeing Wang Ping.

Zi Luan understood and said: "It has been more than a thousand years since Taoist Brother Gan Xing was promoted to the third level. The weapon cultivator does not have a spiritual body or a soul. I am afraid that the end will be reached in a few hundred years. It is understandable to be so anxious."

Wang Ping remained silent because he knew that the secret method was obviously flawed, and its greatest use was only to provide spiritual cultivation methods for weapon cultivators. If he wanted to be promoted, he would have to take away the 'Jiashang Zero Four' from the hands of Taoist Nanhai. , otherwise the success rate can be ignored. After their chat started, Yu Lian said hello to Wang Ping, then transformed into her own body and flew towards the White Water Lake.

The first day the three of them got along was just drinking tea and chatting. The disciples were already practicing spells in the arena set up at the foot of the mountain. They were all competing until the point was reached, and they also exchanged their thoughts after the competition.

Without exchanging a few words, the topic naturally turned to the current conflicts between various factions and the imperial court.

Similarly, Wang Ping, Zi Luan and Wu Quan also talked about this topic the next day. This was one of the reasons why Wang Ping invited them over.

Qianmu Temple is now one of the top sects on Nanlin Road, and even in the entire Chu State. It was provoked by the imperial court and some small families. If things are allowed to develop, thousands of disciples in Qianmu Temple and those who rely on Qianmu Temple will be destroyed. The tens of thousands of surviving Qi practitioners will definitely have some ideas.

"I didn't pay much attention to this matter at first. After all, it was just a small fight between some imported monks, but I didn't expect it to develop so fast. I heard a report from my disciple two months ago. Last year, I was the only disciple under my sect. Dozens of people died directly in the conflict. Although they were all incompetent Qi practitioners, they were still annoying! "

Wu Quan treated this issue very seriously, "They are taking away our living space. We cannot let this matter continue, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"

Wang Ping was not in a hurry to express his position. He first looked at Zi Luan and waited for Zi Luan's thoughts.

Zi Luan did not hesitate much and expressed his position very directly: "We should indeed do something. Our Liuxin Sect is closest to Jinhuai City and has the most intense conflicts with the imperial court. The royal family... seems to be in danger of being ignored. If this continues, I'm just afraid that chaos is imminent in Chu."

Wu Quan frowned and said, "But we cannot interfere in the country's internal affairs!"

"It's not like the imperial court is the only one with imported monks. There are so many disciples under you and me, and the royal family of Chu State is the descendant of the first disciple of Daoist Fellow Changqing." Zi Luan looked at Wang Ping, maintaining his usual smile, "If Fellow Daoist Don’t worry, leave this matter to me and I’ll make sure it’s done without incident.”

His bad taste came back, and he should treat this matter as a fun game.

"Yes, I will not retreat in the past two years." Wang Ping did not refuse, and then said: "I have successfully refined the communication device obtained on Mozhou Road. According to your proposal, I will place it in a Nowhere to be found.”

"This is good news…"

Zi Luan said in a joking tone: "We won't have to go to such trouble when we meet in the future. To be honest, I'm a little afraid to go out now because I always feel like someone is spying on me secretly."

Wang Ping knew that Zi Luan was referring to Xiu Yu, and he was also implicitly reminding him not to forget to track down Xiu Yu's clues.

Wu Quan asked: "When can I get the communication token?"

Wang Ping followed his words and responded: "One year at the latest, I still need some arrangements!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yulian's huge body emerged from the clouds above Qianmu Temple, and then turned into a stream of light and fell into the small courtyard of the mountaintop dojo.

"Qianqian brewed some fruit wine at Baishui Lake. She asked me to bring some over. She said she forgot to bring it when she visited a few days ago." Yulian flicked her tail as she spoke, and the storage method carved on the surface of her scales The formation suddenly emitted a burst of green light, and a dozen sealed wine jars appeared out of thin air in the open space in front of the main house.
