There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 572 Liu Shuang Exits
Yu Lian’s last words touched Wang Ping’s heart.

Because not long ago Wang Ping had asked Zi Luan whether he had the compound magic circle passed down by Xiaoshan Mansion Lord, and Zi Luan replied that he didn't. But Xiu Yu told him that the magic circle was on Zi Luan's body.

This was most likely Xiu Yu's deliberate instigation, but Wang Ping couldn't help but think more about it.

Now that he has met Xiu Yu alone and Wu Quan is involved, the matter will eventually reach Zi Luan's ears. Zi Luan may not have any thoughts about it in the short term, but he will inevitably have some grudges over time.

Another point is that under normal circumstances Zi Luan should have replied to him long ago, but there has been no news until now.

As he was thinking this, he sensed a puppet bird in the sky catching his breath. When he looked up, the puppet bird had already landed and was circling above the dojo on the top of the mountain, waiting for the dojo illusion to accommodate it.

Wang Ping waved his hand lightly, artificially dispelling the illusion of the dojo. The puppet immediately swooped down, landed on Wang Ping's right shoulder, and jumped back and forth.

"Is this a reply from Ziluan?"

Yulian asked.

Wang Ping looked at Liu Shuang who was in a state of meditation, and seemed to be lost in thought, so he did not answer Yu Lian's question. After a long while, he picked up the puppet bird, opened the mechanism in its abdomen, and took out the bamboo strips inside.

There was only one sentence in it: I already know what happened, Xiu Yu's soul has been completely destroyed by me!
Yu Lian stretched her neck to stare at the words on the bamboo slips and said, "Zi Luan is also unwilling to destroy our alliance, but he is only an ally, an ally that protects our common interests."

Wang Ping nodded. Yu Lian’s meaning was very clear. Maybe he and Zi Luan still had some friendship before, but it would be difficult to maintain after this time.

"If you explain it to him, things will become easier."

Yulian reminded.

Wang Ping shook his head because he didn't want to.

Yu Lian did not continue the topic. She flew up into the sky and landed on the branch of the spiritual tree next to her. When she was about to fall asleep, Wang Ping suddenly said in the spiritual sea: "Do you think my fate has also been arranged by someone?"

"do not know!"

"What if it is?"

"If that's true, there's nothing we can do about it right now. Think about Xiu Yu, he's been pretending to be stupid for thousands of years, and our fate has just begun, and we don't even know who's arranging it."

"... "

Wang Ping summoned his 'Dongtian Mirror' and sensed the information sent back by the puppet inside. He asked, "Do you think Shuang'er and the others will be as suspicious as Xiuyu?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian turned her eyes to look at Liu Shuang, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, she said, "Lord Xiaoshan always treats his two disciples with a sense of distance. He should care about Xiu Yu and Zi Luan very much, but he deliberately shows indifference. Perhaps he wants to reassure his two disciples, but unfortunately it goes against his wishes."

"why?"

"Do you remember the puppet we captured on Ningzhou Road? He is also a disciple of Lord Xiaoshan!"

Wang Ping fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Then, he stared at Liu Shuang, sighed, and said, "Human nature is too complicated, even someone with my level of spiritual cultivation cannot figure it out."

"Human nature is not something that can be detected by the spirit!"

Wang Ping nodded in agreement, then looked up at the sky. Another puppet bird fell down, and its aura was marked as that of Zhigong Taoist.

"What's the matter with this guy?"

"Who?"

"Bow!" While they were talking, the puppet bird landed on Wang Ping's outstretched hand and took out the bamboo slips inside. After Wang Ping finished reading the contents on the bamboo slips, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"what is the matter?"

"Someone suggested putting Qingjiang on the wanted list in the Dao Palace."

After Wang Ping said this, a smile appeared on his face for some reason, as if he had encountered something interesting.

Yu Lian was very smart, and after sensing Wang Ping's emotions, she spoke directly in human language: "Are they the monks who swept Haizhou Road before? Are they afraid that Qingjiang will gather the remaining monks in Haizhou Road?"

Wang Ping nodded, "And they caught him at a very good time..."

He looked up at the sky. "Those monks who suddenly went crazy yesterday paralyzed the administration of nearly half of the cities in the south, and the number of victims was countless. If the Chu court can't handle it well, there may be a risk of a coup."

"And Qingjiang's sudden appearance is bound to cause panic among those small sects. If they put forward this suggestion, it will most likely be supported by the majority of people."

Wang Ping released the puppet bird in his hand while speaking. He did not reply to Zhigong Taoist, but the smile on his face deepened. He turned his head and looked at Yu Lian, "Only a few people know about Qingjiang's appearance. Who do you think leaked it out?"

Yu Lian did not answer this question, but asked: "What are you going to do?"

"What can I do? Someone wants me to stand against the southern monks, so I will give it a try and see who dares to go to my Baishui Lake Dojo to arrest people."

After Wang Ping said this, he glanced at the spirit dog lying next to him, then closed all his consciousness and concentrated on protecting Liu Shuang.

The mountaintop temple immediately returned to its former tranquility.

But the outside world is not so easy to be quiet. Take Zhonghui County for example. In just one day, at least 50,000 refugees flocked to the nearby area. Fortunately, the county government had made preparations and built enough soup kitchens and temporary straw huts.

But other places were not so lucky, because the governments in some better places collapsed in this disaster, allowing the ambitions of some people that were buried in normal times to continue to grow. They took the opportunity to plunder wealth and recruit young and middle-aged people.

half a month later.

The chaotic spirit was suppressed, but the political power within the Chu State had become a mess.

The previous proposal to include Qingjiang in the Dao Palace's wanted list fell into oblivion.

The imperial court was already discussing whether to learn from the previous system of the Xia Dynasty and order local areas to quell rebellions on their own and then reward them based on their merits.

However, the chaos was raging and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. The Chu court could only send monks to negotiate with the aristocratic families in various places while issuing an emergency announcement to suppress the rebellion.

Three months later.

Liu Shuang succeeded in integrating the spiritual consciousness within his soul easily.

The next step is to break through the critical point of the soul and the body. The spiritual veins in Liu Shuang's body are too weak, and when she was promoted to the second realm, she used the "Soul Devouring Technique" to forcibly devour the spiritual creatures. Even if they are integrated now, some memories will come out to disrupt her when she is cultivating her soul.

Wang Ping's method was to forcibly erase these memories, and then use the wood spirit energy gathered by the 'Nine Extremes Great Formation' to cultivate Liu Shuang's spiritual body with the skill of water grinding.

Although this method would make the third realm very weak, it at least has a chance to reach the third realm.

In the next two months, Wang Ping concentrated on setting up a magic array for Liu Shuang's future practice. This time the magic array was set up in Liu Shuang's own Taoist temple, and it was completed during the Spring Festival of that year.

This year's Spring Festival was not a festive occasion, because people were dying everywhere, even the disciples of Qianmu Temple who went out for training suffered many casualties.

Wang Ping did not celebrate the Spring Festival this year. After finishing Liu Shuang's affairs, he had been meditating in the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. Until the last day of the first lunar month, Zi Luan suddenly contacted him with a communication token, asking him to activate the projection consciousness, saying that there was something important to discuss.
