There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 588 Arrangements for Disciples
The party lasted for three days and three nights.

It is worth mentioning that during the party, Wang Ping directly asked Xia Wenyi in front of everyone whether he had any memory of seeing the soul of the locust tree. Xia Wenyi copied this memory to Wang Ping in front of everyone. Most of his memory was about forest fires, and there was no sign of the existence of any living creatures.

After Xia Wenyi handed over this memory, Xuan Ling also gave Wang Ping the memory he gained when he was promoted to the second realm. His memory was dark, and a beam of light could be seen occasionally in the vast and silent space. Most of the rest of the time was silent and dark. After Wang Ping read this memory, he had a strange feeling that time had stopped.

After the party, Wang Ping left Shen Xiaozhu and Xuan Ling behind.
"You two have reached the critical moment of promotion, especially you, Xiaozhu. You should be able to retreat at any time to look for opportunities for promotion, right?" Wang Ping asked.

"Yes, Master, I originally planned to enter into meditation next month..."

Shen Xiaozhu spoke in a low voice, because at the previous gathering Wang Ping had made it clear that the sect had a series of plans after the inner sect competition next month.

"There's no need to change your plan!"

Wang Ping interrupted Shen Xiaozhu and said, "Wen Yi will stay in the sect to protect you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaozhu quickly glanced at Yu Lian who was lying on Wang Ping's shoulder, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Wang Ping looked at Shen Xiaozhu and couldn't help but say a few more words: "Remember, you are my disciple, don't feel any pressure, no one dares to gossip about you."

"Yes, disciple understands!"

Shen Xiaozhu bowed his head.

Wang Ping then set his eyes on Xuan Ling and said, "Your next step is to cultivate your spiritual body, right?"

Xuan Ling clasped his fists and said, "In reply to Master, I plan to continue strengthening my spirit!"

"Oh?"

Wang Ping calmly investigated Xuan Ling. Xuan Ling's soul had been cultivated to the point where it could leave the body. According to the normal progress of cultivation, his next step should be to use his soul to possess a puppet to cultivate his spiritual body.

At this time, Yu Lian communicated with Wang Ping in the sea of ​​spirits: "Xuan Ling's soul consciousness is different from that of ordinary people. Simply put... his soul is comparable to the souls of some psychic creatures. He may even be able to achieve the original spirit without independent cultivation. It is right for him to continue to strengthen his soul. Perhaps he will not need to possess a puppet in the future. He can directly cultivate his spiritual body and flesh with his soul leaving his body."

What she said was true, but the cultivation of the five sects of Xuanmen was very different from that of the side sects. For example, Liu Shuang and Yang Rong at this moment, when they cultivated their spiritual bodies and flesh bodies, they only needed to use a magic circle to suppress the spiritual vein consciousness in their bodies, and they didn't have to worry about the spiritual vein consciousness reviving.

"You look very confident?" Wang Ping asked Xuan Ling.

"I can't say I have confidence, but I think I should be able to suppress the revival of the spiritual vein's consciousness." Xuan Ling responded calmly.

"Alright."

Wang Ping said nothing more and asked, "Is the training site ready?"

Hearing this, Xuan Ling clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I was just about to tell Master about this. I need to advance one million taels of silver to build a cave under my dojo to block spiritual energy. In addition, I need three million taels of silver to buy some materials for the magic array to lure the third-level wood spirits outside the domain, so as to obtain the qualification to advance to the third level."

"This is a small matter, just ask Wen Yi for the application!"

Wang Ping did not take out the soul of the third-level Taiyan cultivator that he obtained when he first came to Shangjing City, because he was more like an investor to Xuan Ling. If he had extra quotas for third-level Taiyan cultivators, he would not mind increasing his investment, but the problem was that he did not have any. Xuan Ling did not seem to have much master-disciple affection for Wang Ping. His respect for Wang Ping was in accordance with the constraints of humanitarian ethics.

Wang Ping also thought about improving it, because in his subconscious mind, the master-disciple relationship is very important. Unfortunately, Xuan Ling is like a piece of wood. Yu Lian commented on him before, saying that he is like a blank sheet of paper. Now it seems that the reason why he is a blank sheet of paper is not because he is not affected by the outside world, but because he wants to be a blank sheet of paper.

"Thank you Master!"

After Wang Ping agreed, Xuan Ling clasped his fists and thanked him. His attitude was respectful but without any emotion.

Wang Ping looked at Xuan Ling seriously, waved his hand, and said, "You can leave now. Remember, practice well. The future of Qianmu Temple depends on you."

Not long after the two left, Yu Lian spoke in human language: "Xuan Ling's personality is what it is. People like him are unlikely to betray you unless there are special circumstances."

After saying that, she took off into the sky and went to talk to Shen Xiaozhu.

...

Wang Ping returned to the courtyard alone, and thought of his master unconsciously in his mind. He quickly shook his head, cleared the negative emotions from his mind, and then flashed to the basement connected to the sect's barrier formation.

The retreat place deep in the basement was almost full, but he was not here to look for these monks in seclusion, but to select some corpse soldiers to refine puppets. The corpse soldiers he had been allocated in Mozhou Road were all transferred here after the barrier formation was established. He also bought some from various places over the years, and almost half of the prison for storing the corpse soldiers was used up.

After Wang Ping selected some corpse soldiers with intact meridians and useful basic bones, he turned into a stream of light and returned to the mountaintop dojo, and told Xia Wenyi about this matter, otherwise it would be bad if a misunderstanding occurred.

For the first batch of puppets, Wang Ping plans to place them under the tutelage of the remaining twenty or so puppets outside. He will use the sects of these puppets to support their practice. The number should not be too large, and then he will use the method of survival of the fittest to select the available personnel.

He planned to use spiritual wood to refine the second batch. Although it would be troublesome and they could only practice to the foundation-building stage at most, they could live longer, which was beneficial for managing local forces. If they were to be managed, he would replace them with puppets that could practice.

Wang Ping also planned to keep some of the puppets made of spiritual wood to refine new "power pills". The cost of advancing to the fourth level was too huge. If he was willing to wait slowly, the financial resources of Qianmu Temple could support it. However, he had a light curtain panel and did not want to plan slowly like other cultivators.

The first puppet was refined in just three hours. Wang Ping randomly found a student in Zhonghui College to copy his memory, and then after a slight modification, he used the "Tian Tong Fu" to enlighten the puppet, and then dressed him in ordinary people's clothes and sent him out through the "Transfer Talisman". The puppets in the nearby area would give him a new identity and teach him how to practice Qi and cultivation.

Wang Ping was so busy with his homework the next day that he stopped even though the second puppet was only half refined. At this time, Yu Lian had already returned and was sleeping on the eaves of the main house in the yard.

During his practice time, Wang Ping sat cross-legged under a spiritual tree, absorbing the wood spirit with his soul and running ten big circles. For Wang Ping at this moment, it was as simple as the body's instinct. The feeling of practicing was the same as when he was in seclusion and the wood spirit assimilated his body and soul.

When the practice was over, Wang Ping deliberately calculated the time.

An hour!
Afterwards, Wang Ping took out "Annotations on Heaven and Man" and read it. After dawn, he asked the boy outside to bring in breakfast. After breakfast, he continued to refine the puppet.

After more than ten days, the first batch of puppets was completed.

Before refining the second batch of puppets, he first tried to improve the 'power pill'.
