There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 577 One hundred and fifty-two years!
Wang Ping forced himself to calm down all the emotions in his nature before his mind became confused, and then his body turned into a stream of light and landed in the small courtyard in the back mountain of Taoist Yucheng.

The yard was still exactly the same as he remembered. In the training ground next to it, he could still see traces of his sword practice. However, the man who often read books by the stone table in the yard was no longer there.

Wang Ping rarely encounters scary things, but he was a little scared at this moment. Feeling his emotions, Yu Lian lay on his shoulder and rubbed his cheek gently with her head.

Although he knew that many things in the world cannot be forced, and that his master would eventually die, he did not expect it to be so sudden, so sudden that he was not prepared at all. He also did not expect that one hundred and fifty-two years would pass by in just a casual practice of his!
"Master...where are the others?"

He turned to look at Yuan Zheng and Ruan Chunzi who followed him.

Yuan Zheng took a step forward, met Wang Ping's gaze, and said, "Fifty years after you were in seclusion, Daoist Fellow Yucheng left alone. He didn't let anyone follow him. He said... he wanted to go out and see the scenery outside."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Wang Ping asked.

Yuan Zheng was silent for a few breaths before he said, "Your retreat this time was a bit sudden, and no one had any news of you. Later we went to the Six Heart Sect to ask Taoist Master Ziluan for advice..."

"Master Ziluan told us that you might be at a critical moment in your practice..."

When he said this, a streak of light flashed at the entrance of the courtyard. It was Dong Can, whom Wang Ping had taken in before his retreat. His temperament at this moment had undergone a drastic change. The gloomy aura was gone from his body, replaced by the Taoist calmness and righteousness.

When he saw Wang Ping, he clasped his fists and bowed solemnly, then stood at the gate of the courtyard in an orderly manner. Wang Ping was in a low mood at the moment, and he just instinctively glanced at Dong Can, and then immediately looked at Yuan Zheng.

Yuan Zheng met Wang Ping's gaze and continued, "Master Ziluan said that you are cultivating the 'wood spirit form'. At this stage, your sensitivity to the outside world is almost zero, and the wood spirit will make the practitioner's consciousness blurred. If you awaken you rashly, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but it may also cause damage to your spirit body, flesh body and soul."

"Your master also won't let us wake you up..."

When Wang Ping heard this, some unfamiliar memories kept popping up in his mind. This was the memory that Lord Xiaoshan left for him, and part of it was activated at this moment, which meant that he had completed the upper part of "Tai Yan Talisman"!

But at this moment, Wang Ping had no intention to pay attention to this part of the memory. He forced this part of the memory to be suppressed deep in his spiritual sea. He endured the discomfort in his heart and stared at Yuan Zheng to listen to his next words:

"Zi Luan also said... this step of practice is a slow process, and everything will come naturally. As long as you are not interrupted in the middle, you will not fail. The only thing to pay attention to is the time. He gave us a deadline of 300 years. If you can't come out within 300 years, he will come to wake you up personally."

Wang Ping opened the light curtain panel. He did not see any relevant prompts on the light curtain panel, nor did he have any relevant memories of the secret inheritance of the "Tai Yan Talisman", so he said: "I am completely unprepared. I thought this was just an ordinary practice..."

His voice was very soft, and before he finished speaking, he heard Ruan Chunzi convey his message to him:
"Fellow Daoist Ziluan said that your practice is extraordinary. A practitioner can only integrate with the wood spirit unconsciously. When the time comes, the 'wood spirit form' will come naturally. However, if a practitioner practices consciously, it will be slower and may even be attacked by the wood spirit. This is the secret of your lineage of Taiyan cultivators. Perhaps this is why you cannot perceive it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping looked up at Ruan Chunzi.

Yuan Zhengze continued, "Practitioners often encounter such things. My master once slept for twenty years. I heard that several high-level practitioners of the Jade Purity Sect would enter a state of meditation for more than a hundred years each time!"

The fire lizard on Ruan Chunzi's shoulder spit out fire at Yu Lian, which seemed to be comforting Yu Lian, but also seemed to be provoking Yu Lian.

Yu Lian had no time to pay attention to him. She stretched her neck to look at Yuan Zheng and asked, "Did the master leave any words?"

Yuanzheng tugged at his sleeve and said, "Your master told you to think twice before doing anything. You have more opportunities than anyone else. Don't let your lack of consideration ruin anything."

Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping after hearing this: "This sounds like something Master would say."

Wang Ping savored this sentence carefully. After a while, he looked up at Yuan Zheng and asked, "Has the master sent back any news since he left?"

Yuanzheng just shook his head and said nothing.

Wang Ping seemed to remember something, and took out the communication token he had made, trying to use it to send a message to his master, but just when he was about to do so, he stopped for some reason. He was afraid that this message would fall into oblivion after being sent out, so it would be better to keep the current state, so that he could have a thought.

Yuan Zheng looked at Wang Ping and for some reason took a step back. He stood with Ruan Chunzi, staring at Wang Ping holding the communication token in his hand in a daze.

Yu Lian leaned on Wang Ping's cheek.

After more than ten breaths.

Wang Ping put away the communication token, reached out and gently stroked Yu Lian's little head, then looked up at the sky outside the courtyard gate.

It's Liu Shuang's breath.

Then, her figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

In Wang Ping's eyes, Liu Shuang still looked the same on the outside, but his cultivation had improved a little. This was because he had not actually experienced the one hundred and fifty-two years.

He even had a feeling of dreaming about his master's affairs. Perhaps he hoped in his heart that this was a dream.

Liu Shuang was different when she saw Wang Ping. She was delighted at first, with a smile on her face as bright as when she was a child. Then she became excited, and then she walked quickly into the courtyard, walked up to Wang Ping, opened her mouth slightly, and whispered, "Master!"

Wang Ping really hoped that all this was just a dream, but the reality was obvious. He met Liu Shuang's gaze and felt her emotions. He had to suppress all the emotions in his heart. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Liu Shuang's head like he did when they were children, but in the end he just patted her shoulder lightly and responded with a smile: "Well, your cultivation has not fallen behind, very good."

At this time, there were two familiar auras in the sky. Yu Lian stretched her neck and raised her head to look.

It’s the aura of Xia Wenyi and Shen Xiaozhu!
The two of them had respect for Wang Ping as a master and disciple, and their respect was genuine, but they did not have the same kinship as Liu Shuang.

"Master!"

The two of them clasped their fists and bowed at the door, solemnly performing the salute of juniors.

Wang Ping looked at the two of them, and the depression in his heart disappeared a lot. When he, as a master, subconsciously checked the cultivation of the two, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Xia Wenyi has actually already reached the second realm, and Shen Xiaozhu has also perfected the first realm. I'm afraid they will be able to retreat and reach the second realm soon.

"When did you come back?"

Of course Yu Lian could also see Xia Wenyi's cultivation level, but she still asked Shen Xiaozhu first. There was nothing wrong with her asking this, after all, Xiaozhu was Wang Ping's only direct disciple and Xia Wenyi's senior sister.

"To answer Uncle Master's question, I returned to the sect a hundred years ago."

"Well, that's good. After your experience in the mortal world, your temperament has finally improved."

Wang Ping also nodded and said, "Not bad, you haven't given up your cultivation..." After encouraging the two disciples, he looked at Yuan Zheng and Ruan Chunzi, "I want to stay with my disciples for a while."

"it is good!"

Yuan Zheng agreed and then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Fire Courtyard.

Ruan Chunzi just bowed silently, while Dong Can at the gate of the courtyard clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, and then the two of them left the courtyard together.
