There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 603 Old Friend
Xia Wenyi and Yuan Zheng came in a hurry and left in even greater haste.

Xia Wenyi will be responsible for secretly recalling the incoming disciples, while Yuanzheng will be responsible for counting the various elixirs and supplies to make full preparations for possible changes in the situation.

After the two of them left, Wang Ping extended his spiritual consciousness to cover the entire Qianmu Temple. He saw Liu Shuang, Yang Rong and Shen Xiaozhu who were in seclusion, then the disciples from each academy who were practicing hard, and finally every blade of grass and tree in Qianmu Temple.

Everything here is the thoughts left by his master, as well as the Qianmu Temple inheritance that his master cares about the most.

"In the past, I had the protection of my master when I was practicing. I didn't have to worry about anything. I could ignore everything else and just focus on practicing. I really miss that time!"

Wang Ping looked at Yu Lian and said softly.

Yu Lian tilted her head and replied, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot. I was carefree back then. Even if something happened, Master would think of it in advance."

Wang Ping looked up at the sky. The winter sky was extremely dark, just like his current mood. After a while, he said, "It might be a good idea to hide like Zi Luan, but I might miss the opportunity to advance to the fourth realm."

Zi Luan had already perfected the third realm, and he was only one step away from being promoted to the fourth realm. Unfortunately, he never dared to try. It was understandable that he was hiding now to look for that chance.

But Wang Ping still has a long way to go. Without the help of Qianmu Temple and the Chu court, he would have to rely on himself alone. Even if he used the luck array to practice, the consumption of the array materials would be enough to give him a headache.

"There's no need to think too much at this time. The Fourth Realm is worth a try. If things can't be done... we can take Xiaozhu and Shuang'er to Hushan Country to find my parents."

Yu Lian looked at Wang Ping and said.

Wang Ping's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he said, "Your parents' place is a perfect place for advancement, but I wonder if they are willing?"

"That place is big, you should be willing, right?"

"I'll let a puppet go and ask." Wang Ping immediately sent a message to the puppet of Hushan Kingdom. At the same time, he made up his mind to choose the habitat of Yu Lian's parents as one of his final options for promotion.

"Hurrah!"

Yu Lian's golden vertical pupils were shining.

At this time, Wang Ping's spiritual consciousness noticed Leng Kezhen who was waiting for him to meet him in the front hall. He thought about the purpose of his coming to Qianmu Temple, and then sent a message to the person in charge of the front hall, asking him to bring Leng Kezhen to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

"This person has a strong murderous intent, but the cause and effect are not deeply involved. It's very strange." After Wang Ping's message, Yu Lian also used her soul to investigate Leng Kezhen and reminded Wang Ping.

"Why do you think he came to see me?"

"I guess he came to seek refuge with you!"

"is it?"

It was exactly as Yu Lian guessed.

When Leng Kezhen saw Wang Ping, regardless of the presence of the head of the front hall who brought him up, he prostrated himself and expressed his desire to join Qianmu Temple.

Wang Ping first waved to the person in charge of the front hall to let him leave, then looked at Leng Kezhen who was prostrating on the ground, and his memory instantly returned to the scene when he first met him. At that time, although Leng Feng Leng Qianhu was smooth, he was a good person and hated evil. Unfortunately, he eventually became a discarded pawn.

When I saw him again later, he had become Leng Kezhen and his temperament had changed drastically, but he survived in the end.

When we met again, he no longer had the high spirits that he had when we first met, nor the viciousness that he had when we second met. It seemed as if he had reached the twilight years of an old man.

"Stand up and talk. You don't have to be so polite."

Wang Ping stretched out his right hand and raised it upward. Leng Kezhen quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Master!"

"sit!"

Wang Ping pointed at the stool next to him. Now was the time to use people. This Weiwei, who had been in office for hundreds of years, was most familiar with the intricate situations in various parts of Zhongzhou. He could be used, but he didn't know if he could be trusted.

"How can I trust you?" Wang Ping didn't beat around the bush.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Leng Kezhen did not sit down, but stood respectfully beside him and asked with his fists clasped.

“I haven’t thought about it yet…”

Wang Ping looked up at the sky. A cloud of good fortune rose in the sky above the mountaintop dojo. It was Xia Wenyi who led the head of the Liu family to pay a visit. He waved his hand gently and said, "You step back first. I'll tell you how to use you later!"

He said it so bluntly on purpose.

"Yes!"

Leng Kezhen nodded without hesitation, and then decisively left the courtyard.

After he left, Yu Lian said, "After all, he has practiced for hundreds of years and often deals with the dirty work of the Xia royal family. Is this little verbal test useful?"

Wang Ping did not answer, his eyes fell on the two people who suddenly appeared outside the courtyard.

When Xia Wenyi met Wang Ping's gaze, he immediately clasped his fists and introduced: "Master, this is Liu Qin, the current patriarch of the Liu family."

Liu Qin faced a middle-aged man with the foundation-building cultivation level. He was wearing a cotton-padded long gown with wide sleeves, which was popular in Zhonghui County in winter. He had a white jade belt around his waist and a golden crown of a first-rank duke on his head.

The golden crown immediately lowered when facing Wang Ping, and then its owner knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings, ancestor. May you be healthy!"

The word "old ancestor" made Wang Ping a little dazed.

Xia Wenyi smiled and explained, "This is the direct descendant of the eldest sister's younger brother. It is not wrong for him to call you, the master, the ancestor."

At this moment, the overlap between the cultivation world and the secular world made Wang Ping clearly feel that he had lived for more than four hundred years.

Just as Wang Ping was about to speak, his communication token suddenly had a strong energy fluctuation, and it kept fluctuating. He immediately had a bad premonition in his heart. He waved to Xia Wenyi, took out the communication token, and used his soul to probe into it.

The first thing that came was Wu Quan's consciousness. Before Wang Ping had time to read it, Yuan Zheng's aura descended from the sky and landed hurriedly outside the yard. Then, the puppets in the "Dongtian Mirror" kept sending messages.

Wang Ping made hand gestures with his left hand and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart with his spiritual consciousness. He raised his head and glanced at Yuan Zheng who was standing at the door wanting to say something but hesitated. Then he picked up the communication token to check the message from Wu Quan. There was only one sentence: People outside are now saying that you sneak attacked Daoist Ziluan, causing his death!

"interesting!"

Wang Ping chuckled, then summoned the 'Dongtian Mirror'. At this moment, there were five puppet birds surrounding Xia Wenyi, who were here to deliver a message. Wang Ping glanced at Xia Wenyi, whose expression changed slightly, and read the message from the 'Dongtian Mirror'.

The news were all sent by the puppets of Jinhuai City. Just as Wu Quan said, at this moment, the news was spreading in Jinhuai City that he had ambushed Zi Luan, leading to Zi Luan's death.

"Haha, that's interesting. Hongyuan and Qin Zifeng had just left me, and the rumor spread throughout Jinhuai City and even reached the ears of Wu Quan who was far away in Mozhou Road." Wang Ping's eyes swept across Yuanzheng and Xia Wenyi, and finally fell on Liu Qin who was confused.

Yuan Zheng said hurriedly: "You have to make a decision early. Ziluan is missing, Wu Quan and his disciples have moved to Mozhou Road. Our only ally in Nanlin Road is the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Now... everyone is looking at you!"
