There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping just watched quietly, watching Taoist Wan Zhi's consciousness disappear on its own, watching the bow stabilize, and then silently retreated back to the courtyard to meditate.

Yu Lian sensed Wang Ping's emotions, and silently lay on his shoulder, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Two years later.

One summer morning in the 164th year of the Daogong calendar, deep in the dense jungle that Wang Ping had deliberately created on Wolong Mountain, in a huge deep pit, the soul consciousness above her head made a gesture with both hands, and the earth spirit energy within a hundred miles of the area instantly rushed towards her spiritual body that was full of cracks.

At the same time, the spiritual energy surging in the world of inspiration formed like a tide, as if it was about to overflow into the real space, forming an energy vortex around Zhigong's soul.

After counting the interest.

Zhi Gong's illusory soul condensed and became like a real body. At the same time, the earth spirit embryo that was nurtured in the chest of her spiritual body grew dense and fine tentacles, which spread throughout her body along the more dense meridians. Afterwards, the cracks in her spiritual body were slowly repaired, and soon it returned to its original appearance.

Wang Ping, who was in a trance, opened his eyes. He first glanced at Yu Lian who was sleeping on the eaves of the yard, and then his body turned into a stream of light and appeared in the sky above a deep pit deep in the dense forest.

Zhi Gong still had his eyes closed, and he quickly made hand gestures with his hands. The collapsed mountains around him repaired themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, another mountain range was formed.

Wang Ping turned his head to look at Liu Shuibin in the distance and waved at him. Seeing this, Liu Shuibin flew over immediately.

"Your sister has passed the most difficult period. She will need a quiet environment to practice for about a hundred years before she can successfully advance to the fourth realm. You will be responsible for guarding here."

"Yes!"

As Liu Shuibin responded, Wang Ping turned into a stream of light and returned to the courtyard. Yu Lian sensed something and opened her eyes.

"Are you going back?"

"Yes, let's go back to Baishui Lake first!"

As Wang Ping spoke, he made a magic gesture with his hands, and Yu Lian shrank down and landed on his shoulder. The next moment, his figure disappeared silently, and when he appeared again, he was already at the dojo on the top of the mountain on the central island of Baishui Lake.

Hu Qianqian's condition remained stable. There was a magic circle set up by Wang Ping when he left, so the surging demonic energy did not leak out at all. The rivers were also guarded by Qianmu Temple's outer disciples, so ordinary fleets could not pass through here.

At noon on the third day after Wang Ping returned to Baishui Lake, he was leisurely fishing at the pier when a light screen panel suddenly popped up. It was his progress in fusing the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' that increased again, and this time it increased by 7 points, reaching (37/100).

The increase this time was because Wang Ping planned and predicted Zhi Gong's promotion. So many progress points could only mean that Zhi Gong was unlikely to be promoted, or that her promotion was full of uncertainties, and perhaps it would eventually trigger the intervention of Zhenjun. After all, Zhenjun Yuanwu had promised Taoist Wanzhi.

As the progress increased, Wang Ping felt that his ability to shield his own Qi had increased a lot. Now he could hide his Qi silently and it could not be detected by any deduction.

Although this ability is not offensive at all, it is very practical. For example, when planning something, you can block the secrets in advance, making it impossible for others to deduce.

Wang Ping immediately began to experiment, using the 'Heaven-Covering Talisman' to shield his own breath, and then spread his consciousness to Dongfeng Island in the southeastern sea, which was the dojo of Ao Bing, the third prince of Linshui Prefecture.

There was an invisible barrier array and energy turbulence around the island, which prevented his spiritual consciousness from penetrating. Just when Wang Ping was disappointed, Ao Bing appeared outside the barrier. He looked around with a serious expression, and then raised two command flags to build a magic array to explore the surroundings. After a few breaths, he put away the flags and dived into the island's barrier.

Wang Ping observed for a while before regaining consciousness, and then a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Anything happy?"

Yu Lian's voice rang out from the lake ahead, and then a huge head emerged from the lake, with Wang Ping's figure reflected in a pair of beautiful golden vertical pupils.

"Think of something funny."

"Oh~"

Yu Lian stared at Wang Ping for a few seconds, then dived into the water and continued to sleep.

Wang Ping's primordial consciousness spread out again. This time, he checked the conditions of Wen Hai, Wu Laodao and Lin Chen respectively. These three people were just as Liu Shuang said in the letter. Their primordial consciousness had been cultivated and their spiritual veins had covered every inch of their meridians, but they had not yet stabilized. This step would only take time.

These three people can be regarded as people that Wang Ping can trust. The only person behind them is Wang Ping. They will not get involved with other forces because the benefits that other forces can offer will not be higher than Wang Ping's.

Any future plans will certainly require the contributions of these three people, so their promotion is equivalent to Wang Ping having three more chess pieces in his hand that can be moved.

After observing the three people for a while, Wang Ping's smile widened, and soon he closed his eyes and dozed off.

Three months later.

As the weather in the south gradually turned cooler and the second regular meeting was approaching, Wang Ping received a message from Taoist Huai Mo, saying that it was Lord Yuxing who had sent down a message that the vacant places in the four realms needed to be competed for by the disciples within their Yuqing Sect.

However, the competition set by Lord Yuxing was not a fight of magic, but to see who was able to advance to the fourth realm first, and whoever was able to do so would automatically get the spot.

This is a very rough method. If a large-scale failure occurs, the Yuqing Sect will suffer heavy losses. In this way, not only will the promotion to the fourth realm be unstable, but even the promotion to the third realm will be in trouble.

After reading the news, Wang Ping was silent for a long time before replying to Taoist Huai Mo, expressing his full support for him in competing for the fourth-level quota. Then he took out a puppet bird and sent a letter to Liu Shuang, asking her to mobilize the resources of Qianmu Temple to fully support Taoist Huai Mo.

Afterwards, he used the 'Dongtian Mirror' to observe the Hushan Kingdom which was under reconstruction. At this moment, many Taoist temples of the Taiyin Sect were newly built in many places in the Hushan Kingdom, but they were all concentrated in the southernmost area. The Yuqing Sect only sent out its Qi-training disciples to encircle and suppress them, and the Taiyin Sect also only sent out its Qi-training disciples to resist.

The dispute between the two factions has become an agenda item for routine meetings and will be raised at the upcoming regular meeting.

When the time for the routine meeting arrived, Wang Ping, who had nothing to do, immediately activated the consciousness connection of the communication token. There were already two people near the round conference table in the familiar hall.

They were Kai Yun from Vajra Temple and Ao Bing from Linshui Prefecture. They must have been talking about something before Wang Ping came. After Wang Ping appeared, the two of them greeted him politely, and Wang Ping naturally returned the greeting politely.

"The amount of gold you want is too huge. We need some time to prepare it. We don't want anything else, just the adult dragon scales that fell off your body. If you agree, the deal will be done."

After greeting Wang Ping, Ke Yun continued the topic they had not finished discussing.

Ao Bing's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. Dragon scales have always been the best material for refining defensive magic tools. Compared with gold, they are countless times more precious. And it was a bit too embarrassing to say this in front of a dragon who had transformed into a dragon. "Okay, we will discuss the rest of the matter in detail after the meeting!"

"no problem."

When the two had finished their discussion, Lord Rongyang and Lord Yuxing appeared at the same time, followed by Mansu and Buqiong, and finally Cangji.

Seeing that everyone was present, Wang Ping said, "There are four topics for this meeting. The first topic is how to end the unrest in Hushan Country. The second topic is to send Taoist Yunsong and Taoist Baiwan from Dikumen to the border outside the region. The third topic..."

He glanced at Ao Bing before continuing, "The third topic is about the discussion of opening an overseas material transfer station in Linshui Prefecture; the fourth topic is the Shangqing Sect's application to enter the Dao Palace."

After Wang Ping finished speaking, everyone at the scene remained silent, so he continued: "Well, let's discuss the first topic first, how to end the unrest in Hushan Country."

"As long as the people of Taiyin Sect withdraw from Hushan Kingdom, all the unrest will stop." Lord Yuxing was the first to express his opinion.

"If that's the case, there's no need to talk at all!" Cangji also expressed his opinion immediately.

"Your fighting has seriously affected the transportation of supplies. Your previous battles have damaged most of the Moon Base. Now the front line needs a lot of supplies, and Hushan Country must remain stable!" Bu Qiong looked at Yuxing and Cangji seriously, "Either you restrain your men, or I will apply to give the Dao Palace inspectors greater authority so that they can directly intervene and investigate specific incidents. Once a case is investigated, it will be handled according to the Dao Palace regulations."

"Things on the front line must come first." Kaiyun said before Cangji could speak: "Why don't you two factions stop fighting for the time being."

"I have already stated my conditions!" Lord Yuxing was firm in his attitude and it seemed that he would not say anything more.

"Me too!" Cangji stated simply.

"This matter must be resolved at today's meeting. We cannot delay any further. The front line needs a large amount of supplies now." Man Su's eyes fell on Wang Ping.

"Why would the Taiyin Cult go to Hushan Country for no reason? If it's not yours, why don't you just give it back to someone else?" Lord Rongyang said with a smile, and then he put another big hat on her: "Does the Taiyin Cult want to be the enemy of our entire alliance?"

"There's no use arguing!"

Master Kaiyun spoke before Cangji again, and then looked at Lord Rongyang, "It's not good for us to expand the conflict." He looked at Lord Yuxing while speaking, "The Taiyin Sect now occupies two cities in the south of Hushan Country. Why don't you use this as the boundary and stop the war between the two families? If the Taiyin Sect crosses the line, we will work together to drive them out of Hushan Country, how about that?"

After he said the last sentence, he looked at Wang Ping, wanting Wang Ping to express his opinion.

But Wang Ping pretended not to see it and remained silent. He couldn't be stupid enough to express his opinion so early.

Yuxing Fujun and Cangji also remained silent. Yuxing Fujun was silent because she felt that she had fulfilled her duties as a lord and did not want to say anything more. Cangji was silent because he wanted to see the attitudes of others.

"I agree!"

Ao Bing expressed his attitude clearly.

Bu Qiong and Man Su were next to express their agreement. They said that as long as Hushan Kingdom was stable, they didn't care what method was used.

Lord Rongyang reserved his opinion.

Wang Ping also chose to reserve his opinion, so Kering's proposal was passed. Kering wanted to send disciples from Vajra Temple to implement this resolution, but was opposed by everyone. Finally, Man Su proposed that the three-seat meeting send two three-seat members to supervise, which was supported by most people.

"Then the next topic is..."

Wang Ping glanced at Ao Bing and said, "This topic was proposed by Daoist Ao Bing of Linshui Prefecture. He wanted to build a new transfer station for frontline supplies in Linshui Prefecture, gather supplies from East Continent and West Continent by water, and then transport them directly to the frontline. Daoist Kaiyun and Daoist Cangji have both expressed their support for this proposal."

He brought up the original third topic for discussion, and no one would raise any objections to such a harmless matter.

Lord Rongyang was the first to express his opinion: "I agree. You may think this is a lucrative job. If so, just go ahead and do it." He looked at Man Su and Bu Qiong and said with a smile: "You two must supervise properly. Every disciple of my Zhenyang Sect knows everything, but it does not mean that the disciples of other sects also know everything."

After he made his statement, the problem became relatively simple, because the task of transferring resources was previously on the shoulders of the Zhenyang Sect, and the Star God Alliance was the supervisory party.

So the second proposal passed without controversy.

"The third topic is the Shangqing Sect's application to enter the Dao Palace. This proposal was proposed by Daoist Fellow Kaiyun. Except for Daoist Fellow Yuxing and Daoist Fellow Cangji, everyone else said that it can be discussed at the Second Seat Meeting."

Wang Ping shut up immediately after he finished speaking.

The others did not seem to want to speak. After a long silence, Lord Rongyang looked at Kaiyun with a smile and said, "Why don't you tell me your own proposal? If they join, how many three-seat seats do you plan to give to them in Vajra Temple?"

"Three seats are still vacant!"

"That's not reserved for them. If fellow Taoist is willing to give up the three seats in the Vajra Temple, I can agree to this matter."

This proposal turned into an argument between Kering and Rong Yang, while everyone else watched quietly, and eventually the proposal was shelved.

The last proposal was, of course, to send Yunsong and Bai Wan from the Dikumen to the border outside the territory. To Wang Ping's surprise, Kaiyun did not stand up to oppose it, but chose to remain silent during the vote.

This was understandable. After all, it was the decision of the True Lords to let the idle fourth-realm cultivators go to the outer border to fight against the monsters. As long as someone brought up this matter openly at the second-seat meeting, no one would openly oppose it.

However, just when Wang Ping was about to make a resolution on the proposal, Ao Bing suddenly said, "The Moon Base has been damaged, and we should be in great need of a fourth-level earth vein cultivator. Why don't we let one of these two stay at the Moon Base? What do you think?"

Lord Rongyang raised his eyebrows. The Moon Station has always been controlled by the Zhenyang Sect. If a fourth-level earth vein cultivator is stationed there, the consequences can be imagined.

"This is something we can consider!"

Bu Qiong first expressed her position cautiously: "The Moon Base is the most important transit station in outer space. It should have been equipped with a fourth-level cultivator a long time ago. However, this matter is of great importance, and I think we need to consider it in the long run."

Ao Bing followed up on this and said, "In that case, let Daoist Fellow Yunsong and Daoist Fellow Baiwan stay at the Moon Station first, without giving them any specific duties. We will make a decision after we have discussed it. How do you think?" (End of this chapter)
