There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 599 Frankness

Ruan Chunzi and Yuan Zheng were not surprised at Wang Ping's question. If it were them and there was someone secretly watching them, they would also find ways to get rid of him.

Furthermore, Wang Ping has already made it clear that he wants to plan for the fourth realm. This step of promotion is not as simple as the third realm. If potential enemies are not eliminated, they will suddenly appear at the critical moment of promotion, which will be a real disaster. There are even some crazy people who will not hesitate to attack Qianmu Temple to stop his promotion.

The reason why Wang Ping agreed to Zi Luan and others' plan so readily and made this move steadily this time was that his purpose was to use himself as bait to lure out potential enemies and then suppress them within a controllable range.

But he didn't expect that such a tentative chess piece would directly lead to a big fish, which surprised him a little.

Of course, there are more feelings of relief and regret. I am relieved that I was well prepared; but I regret that I was not well prepared. If I had arranged for the equipment repairers from Shanwu Road, maybe I could have kept some people.

"The southeastern sea area is the territory of Linshui Prefecture. To get rid of Cheng Xi, we need to stabilize Linshui Prefecture first. Judging from the previous attacks, Cheng Xi has a certain influence in Linshui Prefecture, otherwise it would be impossible to mobilize the water cultivators of Linshui Prefecture."

Ruan Chunzi gave Wang Ping a simple analysis, "Now the main thing is to figure out which faction Cheng Xi belongs to, the Third Prince? The Seventh Prince? Or maybe he is neutral!"

Taoist Yuanzheng sat down near the window, shook his loose sleeves to make himself more comfortable, looked at Wang Ping and asked, "There are no outsiders here. I have also watched you cultivate from the Qi Refining Stage to the Third Stage step by step. Fellow Daoist Ruan Chunzi also sincerely wants to help you. Of course, we also have our own selfish motives, but we have no intention of harming you, so..."

When he said this, his eyes became serious. "We won't ask about your specific thoughts, but you should at least tell me and Fellow Daoist Ruan Chunzi the bottom line, right?"

Wang Ping met Shang Yuanzheng's gaze, put down the kettle in his hand, and said after a few breaths of silence: "I am determined to obtain the fourth level of the Taiyan Talisman, but there are obviously quite a few people who are eyeing the fourth level quota this time, and these people are all old seniors, and each of them has unfathomable background, so before I can be promoted, I must know who is the enemy and who is the ally!"

Ruan Chunzi immediately understood Wang Ping's plan when he heard this, and asked, "Do you want to use the war for Zhongzhou's artifacts to form alliances?"

Wang Ping nodded. "Zhongzhou's artifact is a big piece of cake. The interests involved are deep enough. Only when there are enough interests can I trust the so-called allies. Such allies will help you at the critical moment."

The Zhongzhou artifact seems to be a struggle for worldly power in the mortal world, but in fact it is a struggle for the orthodoxy of various sects!
The day when the dust settles on the Zhongzhou artifact will be the time to redistribute the Taoist inheritance. For example, the Zhenyang Sect that was previously driven out of the Zhongzhou continent will definitely have a layout. There is also the Vajra Temple that has always wanted to return to Zhongzhou, and the various factions of the Diku Gate will also show their magical powers. In addition, the current layout of Linshui Prefecture is enough to show that they have ideas.

Finally, the independent cultivators and the forces behind the major star gods all need to seek places to preach in Zhongzhou in order to continue their incense inheritance. This is an alternative way for all cultivators to pursue immortality!

Of course, there are also many people who do not like such fighting and competition. They will quietly migrate out of Zhongzhou before the fighting begins and go to Dongzhou or Xizhou to live in seclusion. By the same token, ambitious cultivators from Dongzhou and Xizhou also come to Zhongzhou to compete with each other.

"I have an idea..." Yuan Zheng looked at Wang Ping and said, "Let's not make it so much trouble. You can be promoted to any place. Changqing, you should still practice in seclusion like before. Fellow Daoist Ruan Chunzi and I will support Qianmu Temple. We will support you even if the sky falls."

Before Wang Ping could answer, Ruan Chunzi beside him shook his head and said, "Promotion to the fourth realm is more cruel than you think. According to what I have learned, it is related to the game at a higher level. Let's put it this way, the fourth realm is a spokesperson in a sense. Promotion means taking sides, and you will also owe a lot of debts."

Yuan Zheng said indifferently, "Every time we advance, we owe a lot of debt. I was in a hurry to enter the realm when I was practicing Qi. After entering the realm, I made pills every day for decades to pay off the debt when I entered. The remaining time was just enough for me to plan the second realm. After advancing to the second realm, I spent hundreds of years in the Upper Dan Sect to pay off the debt. Now I am advancing to the third realm, and I am also paying off my debt by sitting here!"

He said this bluntly, and then looked at Wang Ping and added: "I owe your master some of this, and I owe you some of this, but it's more of an investment. I'm optimistic about you, and maybe you'll be my chance to advance to the fourth level of the Upper Dan Sect in the future."

Wang Ping did not comment on these words because he was not a person who liked to say polite words.

Ruan Chunzi listened to Yuanzheng's story patiently, and then responded: "That's not what I meant. I meant..."

Yuan Zhengyi glared at Ruan Chunzi and said, "I understand what you mean. Okay, I admit that I thought things were too simple."

Ruan Chunzi's tone stagnated, he turned to look at Wang Ping and asked, "Can you get a place in the fourth realm?"

"Lord Xiaoshan mentioned in the message he left me that if I want to advance to the fourth realm, I can look for Taoist Wanzhi!" Wang Ping said this generously.

"That means you have been shortlisted, but there is no need to rush. Once you officially join the competition for the fourth level, the resistance you will encounter will definitely be several times more than it is now." Ruan Chunzi's speech speed became very fast. It should be that his train of thought was opened at this moment. The fire on his shoulder continued to spit fire out of the window while he was speaking.

He untied the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip of the strong liquor, and continued quickly: "Cheng Xi's matter should indeed be dealt with. He is the real uncertainty at the moment, but there are some things we don't need to do ourselves. Leave this to me. I can't guarantee that I can succeed, but I can pester them for a while."

Wang Ping shook his head and said, "My idea is to get rid of him in an upright manner. First, he is also a descendant of the Taiyan Sect. Second, I want to tell everyone who has ideas about me my attitude. Third, I want to see the reactions of all parties."

This made Yuanzheng and Ruan Chunzi startled. Just as they were about to speak, Wang Ping added: "Of course, if we can't get rid of him head-on, we can use some tricks!"

Yuan Zheng spoke before Ruan Chunzi could say anything: "Then let's wait until we find out his details and sort out the line of Linshui Mansion before taking the next step. Before taking the next step, we have to control the court of Chu for our own use. After all, there are rules set by the True Lords. The secular power of Chu is sometimes more convenient than the power of the cultivation world!"
