There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 640: Trying to get promoted (Please subscribe and vote)
The reason why Wang Ping didn't think about it in this regard was that in his subconscious, he only regarded the attempt to be promoted as a way to obtain spiritual materials, and the spiritual materials were only used to increase his chances of promotion. He never really thought about making a real attempt.

Furthermore, Wang Ping might really be under a lot of pressure during this period as Yu Lian said, and he always misses things when thinking about them.

"The cultivation of human nature is truly endless!"

While Wang Ping was sighing in his heart, he took out the "Dongtian Mirror" to stop Jiang Cun's attempt to upgrade his Taoist temple, and then threw those puppets into the depths of the pond in Sanhe Prefecture, intending to try it again using the method Yu Lian said.

The luck formation deep in the pond of Sanhe Prefecture is about to be completed. However, since he plans to use it to try to get promoted, he also needs to build a formation for refining spiritual substances at the core of the formation.

Wang Ping used the "Dongtian Mirror" to bring part of his consciousness to the scene, and after two days and two nights of planning, he came up with a plan.

Then, all you have to do is wait.

Before we knew it, it was the Spring Festival again. The mountaintop temple welcomed a brief bustle. Ruan Chunzi and Yuan Zheng came to Wang Ping to drink and chat. Hu Qianqian and Xia Wenyi both brought their disciples to pay their respects.

Hu Qianqian's new disciple is a member of her tribe, an underage white fox named Bai Lin, and a male fox. He doesn't seem to like the human form. After saluting Wang Ping, he changed back into a fox form and lay beside Hu Qianqian. He was then attracted by the calico cat that came over, and soon he started playing with the calico cat.

"After this New Year, the emperors of all countries will have to abdicate and the Taoist Palace will have to officially perform its duties." Xia Wenyi suddenly started talking about business when Wang Ping and Ruan Chunzi were in the middle of the game.

Wang Ping, who was playing chess, seemed not to have heard this. Ruan Chunzi and Yuan Zheng just glanced at Xia Wenyi but did not respond.

"clatter"

Wang Ping put down a piece and took the teacup handed to him by Hu Qianqian. He turned his head and looked at Yu Lian, who was playing with the calico cat, the fire lizard and Bai Lin like a big sister. Then he set his eyes on Xia Wenyi and asked, "You have been handling the sect affairs in the front yard for the past few decades. Have you not fallen behind in your cultivation?"

This topic made Xia Wenyi stunned for a moment, and then he responded: "In reply to Master, I never dare to neglect my practice. I practice every day during the time I do my homework."

Wang Ping nodded. "Dealing with the affairs of the front yard is actually part of cultivation. Cultivation requires great perseverance, wisdom, and determination. At the same time, you also need to maintain a neutral attitude. You have to learn this from your senior sister."

He glanced at Hu Qianqian at the end of his speech.

Hearing this, Hu Qianqian's furry tail swayed gently, and her ears trembled unconsciously. Facing Xia Wenyi's gaze, she straightened her back involuntarily, wanting to learn from Liu Shuang and act like a senior sister.

"Disciple has learned the lesson!"

Xia Wenyi lowered his head.

Yuan Zheng beside him said with a smile: "The situation in the world has already been determined. Qianmuguan does not need to stand at the forefront in this battle for the divine weapon. You should practice well during this period of time, and leave the matters outside to the Qigong practitioners in the sect."

Ruan Chunzi placed a move at this time, looked at Xia Wenyi and said, "There will be a competition among various sects this year, right? It seems that it is our Qianmu Temple's turn to host it?"

"Correct!"

Xia Wenyi nodded.

Ruan Chunzi looked at Wang Ping and said, "It's time for me to accept some more disciples."

Yuan Zheng smiled and asked, "You want to expand the Fire Courtyard?"

Wang Ping looked at the two people cooperating with each other, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Qianmuguan Mountain should indeed continue to expand outward. It is time to change the layout of the five academies. I will arrange some puppets to do this, but the money must be paid by all five academies."

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Wenyi and said, "Incorporate the jungle in the north into our Qianmu Temple mountains. Go and discuss it with the disciples of the Earth Academy. If it doesn't work, go find the Underground Cave Gate to do it."

It would be very troublesome to expand Qianmu Temple, because it involves the change of the Nine Extremes Formation. However, Wang Ping now has a more powerful puppet, and it will take more than a month to deal with it. In fact, Wang Ping also thought about changing the Feng Shui of the mountains in Qianmu Mountain Temple, because the current Wood Courtyard is almost directly facing the outside world. He plans to move the inner gates of each courtyard to the central location through the means of the earth vein cultivators.

However, ordinary earth vein cultivators would definitely not be able to do this. Even third-level cultivators would need at least several of them, because shifting mountains is not just about the mountain itself, but also about the earth veins and underground rivers it drives. If not handled properly, it would affect the mountains, rivers, and lakes within a radius of thousands of kilometers.

"Don't bother with that. Just change the layout of the Fire Academy." Ruan Chunzi interrupted Xia Wenyi who was about to take on the task, looked at Wang Ping and said seriously, "We'll talk about everything after you've successfully been promoted."

Wang Ping met Ruan Chunzi's gaze, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

...

One month after the Spring Festival.

That is the second day of the second month of the thirty-first year of the Taoist calendar.

The fortune formation and refining formation located deep in the pool of Sanhe Prefecture have been built. Wang Ping first mobilized the power of the Taoist Palace of Sanhe Prefecture to block all cultivators with cultivation levels above the entry level from entering the deep part of the pool, and ordered the cultivators of Sanhe Temple to guard all the dangerous positions to prevent any possible accidents from happening.

When everything was ready, Wang Ping habitually threw out a divination.

"Click"

The divination cup broke into two pieces when it fell to the ground. At the moment it broke, Wang Ping clearly felt an invisible force falling down.

"Is this an unpredictable future?" Yu Lian asked.

"That makes sense. If it's so easy to calculate, why would I bother with that?"

Wang Ping smiled generously, then quickly adjusted his mindset, first he cast a magic array to allow himself to stay rational, then he condensed a fantasy kingdom of God, and sat in the center of the kingdom of God, and then he cast the 'Dongtian Mirror' to project most of his consciousness onto the puppet.

This time he wanted to follow the puppet to observe the calculation data in real time, and personally experience the opportunity of promotion at that moment.

Two quarters of an hour later, when the puppet was calculating through the luck array, most of his consciousness that remained in the puppet immediately transmitted back countless future scenes that he had glimpsed, but without exception they were all painful because they were all failures.

It was unknown how much time had passed. When Wang Ping peeked into tens of thousands of future scenes, the light screen panel suddenly popped up:
[Success rate of drawing the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman': (4/100)! ]

When Wang Ping saw this data, if it weren't for the rational suppression of the magic array, he might have jumped up and laughed three times.

As he suppressed his inner joy and observed the calculated future scenes and the data on the light screen panel, two months had passed unknowingly.

The highest success rate of the light curtain panel in the past two months was only (9/100), and the calculated future images began to show repeated results, and the calculated data has risen to (96/100).

"That is to say, the highest success rate of a puppet's promotion is less than 10%. That's right. After all, it doesn't even have a spiritual body, only part of its consciousness. If this part of consciousness is withdrawn, the success rate may drop directly to zero!"

While Wang Ping was thinking secretly, he decided to try to advance when the light curtain panel jumped to (9/100).

This wait lasted another half a month...

When the puppet sacrificed the blank talisman according to Wang Ping's will and imprinted the "Heaven-Covering Talisman" on the blank talisman, Wang Ping didn't even have time to react before the puppet's body and consciousness collapsed.

The next moment, Wang Ping felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows...
