There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

When the morning sun shone through the clouds on the horizon, Wang Ping landed with his bow beside a stream deep in the jungle on the north side of the steep mountain on Ningzhou Road. The coolness of the stream water made Wang Ping take a deep breath, while Zhi Gong looked a little expectant and nervous.

When Wang Ping walked towards the courtyard at the end of the path next to him, Yu Lian, who was lying on Wang Ping's shoulder, immediately hid back in his sleeves, while Zhi Gong followed silently behind Wang Ping.

When he pushed open the door, Wang Ping felt the light getting brighter again. The familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard was still furnished as before. A middle-aged man was cleaning a cabbage next to the wooden table in the courtyard. There was a bowl of steaming millet porridge on the table.

Wang Ping stood at the door and bowed, "Greetings, Master!"

As he spoke, a cool morning breeze blew in from the distant rice fields, carrying the fragrance of vegetation and soil, blowing his Taoist robe back and forth.

Zhi Gong's hair was blown by the wind and blocked her eyes, but she didn't dare to comb it. She followed Wang Ping and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

She didn't seem to expect that Wang Ping would bring her directly to meet the True Lord.

Yuan Wu Zhenjun looked up at Wang Ping with a warm smile on his face, and said, "In just a hundred years, your cultivation has increased by 20%. You really have great luck."

He praised Wang Ping like an elder, and then changed the subject: "You have also done well in the Northwest."

Wang Ping bowed his head and clasped his fists, saying, "This is what the younger generation should do!"

"hehe."

Yuan Wu Zhenjun chuckled, put the washed cabbage in the basket beside him, picked up the millet porridge on the table and drank it in one gulp. Then he looked at Zhigong and said, "The northwest is the Taoist lineage of the Diku Sect. The future is handed over to you. You will also take on the second seat of the Taoist Palace for the time being."

"Thank you, Zhenjun!"

Zhigong looked delighted.

Yuan Wu Zhen Jun put down the porcelain bowl, stared at the bow and continued: "Your main responsibility is to monitor the demon tribe. Although they are very well behaved, no one can guarantee that they will not suddenly attack."

The demon race has been unusually low-key since the death of their demon king and the rise of humanity. Their powerful demons comparable to the fourth level are almost never seen in the heart of Zhongzhou, and sometimes it is easy for people to overlook their existence.

But they really exist, and their strength is not weak. However, they all know that although the five Xuanmen sects and the two Tianmen sects seem to be fighting each other, as long as they dare to appear in the heart of the Zhongzhou continent, they will immediately become the target of public criticism, and even their nests will be destroyed. After all, the treasures of the demon clan are very coveted.

Zhigong agreed politely: "Yes, I will do my best!"

"There is no need to do everything we can, just monitor. Hasn't the Buddhist sect in the Snow Region already been born? It would be most appropriate to let them do this."

Zhigong nodded "yes".

Wang Ping also lowered his head to hide the change in his eyes just now. He was a little surprised and puzzled that a True Lord gave such detailed instructions and specifically asked the Snow Region Buddhist Sect to monitor the demon clan.

"Okay, you guys can leave now. I have things to do here."

Yuanwu Zhenjun issued an order to expel the guests.

Wang Ping and Zhi Gong naturally did not dare to stay any longer. After bowing again, they left the courtyard and then turned into a stream of light and left the Ningzhou Road area.

The two men steadied themselves under the clouds near Jinhuai City. Zhi Gong spoke first, "I have to move my disciples to the northwest first. You should send someone to take over Haizhou Road as soon as possible. According to the current situation, if Haizhou Road is unstable, Linshui Prefecture, Taiyin Sect, or Yuqing Sect may cause trouble."

"it is good!"

Wang Ping didn't say much to Zhi Gong. He greeted him and flew towards Qianmu Temple. Then he called Liu Shuang and asked her to arrange people to complete the handover between Haizhou Road and the Diku Gate, and to renegotiate the candidate for the chief host of Haizhou Road Taoist Palace at the three-seat meeting.

Liu Shuang was delighted when he heard the order, because from this moment on, Qianmuguan had truly taken control of the four southern routes.

After Liu Shuang left, Yu Lian reminded him, "Don't forget the spirit gathering magic weapon you promised me!"

Wang Ping responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't forget it. I will go to the archives room to check the information now."

Yu Lian currently has the cultivation level of the fourth realm, so ordinary spirit gathering arrays will definitely not work for her. Moreover, if she absorbs spiritual energy recklessly, it will cause the spiritual energy capacity of Zhongzhou Star to become unbalanced, causing spiritual energy from outer space to pour into the atmosphere, creating a strong air pressure, and ordinary people may explode and die.

The only way is to create a magical instrument to store spiritual energy, and it is best not to destroy the balance of spiritual energy, and the quantity should be large enough to satisfy your hunger.

The information that the Second Seat of the Taoist Palace can consult is as vast as the ocean. Even if the information is classified, coupled with Wang Ping's cultivation level of the fourth realm, it will take a lot of time to look through the information he needs.

As a result, Wang Ping's daily tea-drinking and leisure time was compressed by most of the time. After waking up from meditation in the morning, he only had two cups of tea to rest, and then he had to enter the Taoist Palace's database to look for information. In the afternoon, he used the Qiyun magic array to deduce the situation in the world.

Time passed leisurely, and winter came in a blink of an eye. People who had been busy all year had to start preparing for the New Year. The number of pedestrians traveling on the dense road network in the south had increased significantly.

One afternoon, Wang Ping was using the luck formation to deduce the future situation in Zhongzhou when he suddenly felt something strange in his consciousness. He opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"what happened?"

The guardian Yu Lian asked.

Wang Ping shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong, and then he used the 'Dongtian Mirror' to connect to the consciousness of a puppet. This was a puppet that Wang Ping used to infiltrate the Pingdong Gate with the help of the puppet Li Hui.

Because this was one of the chess pieces he planned to enter the fourth realm of the Underworld Gate. At this moment, this puppet was about to enter the realm. It took more than a hundred years to enter the realm, which could be considered mediocre in qualifications. This was also what Wang Ping did on purpose. He did not want his puppet to be too high-profile.

When Wang Ping read the puppet's memory and found the secret method of entering the world from the Earth Sutra, he saw a light screen panel pop up:

[The secret method of entering the "Earth Sutra": one of the five major Xuanmen orthodox methods, cultivate the earth spirit energy, one of the five original energies in the world, and change your fate through ancient rules. Successful promotion will gain the ability to communicate with the power of the earth and can live for two hundred years. ]

[1. Complete the foundation building and plant the earth spirit vein in the body. Use the earth spirit vein in the body to feel the earth spirit energy between heaven and earth. Circulate the spirit vein in the body 5 times a day. You can succeed within 100 years. (Progress 100/0, today's progress 5/). ]

[2. Activate the earth spirit veins to construct an insight array to gain insight into the earth's veins.]

[3. Use the Insight Array to find an area with a stable and rich earth spirit aura, bury your body there, and then use the spirit veins in your body to merge with the earth spirit of this place. You need to build an earth spirit array to increase the compatibility of the fusion. Only when the compatibility exceeds (75/100) can the fusion be successful. The current compatibility: no reference.]

[4. Use the earth spirit energy in your body to drive the power of the earth veins, impact your own sea of ​​consciousness, and build an "eye of insight" in the sea of ​​consciousness. You need the power of the earth veins with a stability of (75/100) or above, otherwise it will fail. The current stability: no reference. ]

[Note 1: The earth spirit vein is very overbearing. If you feel that the world is turning upside down, stop practicing immediately, otherwise you will be assimilated by the earth spirit.]

[Note 2, the diagram of the Insight Array is as follows…]

[Note 3.1, the diagram of the formation to increase the degree of compatibility is as follows...]

[Note 3.2, during the fusion process, if you feel other memories appear in your consciousness, you need to calm down and block them out immediately, otherwise there is a danger of being assimilated by your consciousness.]

[Note 4, you can use the Wood Spirit Array to suppress the Earth Spirit aura to improve the stability of the Earth Vein Power. As long as the stability is sufficient, it is almost impossible to fail.] Wang Ping finished reading the contents on the light screen panel in just a moment. It must be said that the promotion of Earth Vein cultivators is simpler, at least it is not like the "Tai Yan Talisman" where you have to take your chances.

However, other monks have no data to check, and can only rely on their feelings to determine stability, compatibility, etc., so the probability of failure is very high.

The first realm of practicing "The Sutra of the Earth" is called "Dongzhen". According to the records of the Taoist Palace, after being promoted, one can rely on the eye of insight in the sea of ​​consciousness to observe the earth's veins, and then use the power of the veins to perform some small spells, among which the "Zhenshan Technique" is the most famous.

Thinking of the 'Mountain-Suppressing Technique', Wang Ping's memories couldn't help but diverge. Before he entered the country, his greatest weapon against the enemy was the 'Mountain-Suppressing Technique'. It was indeed very useful, especially for cultivators with sufficient spiritual energy in their sea of ​​​​qi. Unfortunately, after he entered the country, the wood spirit and the earth spirit conflicted, and it consumed too much energy to use, so he gave up on it.

Thinking of the past, Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies by so fast!"

"what?"

"It's okay, I just remembered some past events!"

Wang Ping reached out his hand to touch Yu Lian's head, and Yu Lian took the opportunity to wrap her arms around him. Then he told Yu Lian that his hidden puppet would soon enter the country.

"Now all we need is to find a good place and the materials needed for the magic circle!"

"What are you going to do?"

Yulian asked.

The place and materials are easily available to Wang Ping now, but he does not plan to show up himself. His other puppet Li Hui and Wen Hai are both resources that can be used.

However, he still had to supervise the matter personally to avoid any disaster.

Thus a year passed.

His puppet was finally ready for everything. Early in the morning on the third day after the puppet's retreat and official promotion, Liu Shuang arrived at the dojo on the top of the mountain.

"It was discovered in Haizhou Road that disciples from Linshui Prefecture were instigating a rebellion, and they were closely connected to the Jinlou on the border."

After Liu Shuang greeted them, he got straight to the point.

Wang Ping had just brewed a pot of tea at this moment, and was a little surprised when he heard this, but only a little surprised. This surprise was because his puppet did not receive the relevant information, mainly because the object of his puppet's surveillance was different.

"You're busy so early, come, have a cup of tea!"

Wang Ping poured a cup of tea for Liu Shuang.

Liu Shuang had no choice but to take two steps forward, sit down and pick up the teacup.

Yu Lian also flew down from the old locust tree at this time. Wang Ping poured her a cup of tea and then said with a smile: "Ao Bing's main energy is focused on sealing his brother. Does he still have the mind to make moves in Haizhou Road? If so, I think it's a good thing."

"There is no intelligence yet to prove that Taoist Ao Bing is behind this. They should be trying to do something while we haven't completely mastered Haizhou Road." Liu Shuang put down his teacup and said his purpose here: "I want to solve them directly with force!"

Wang Ping nodded and asked, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that Linshui Prefecture will use the same method on us and cut off our trade routes at sea."

"What is the attitude of the other princes in Linshui Prefecture?"

"They didn't express their opinions, but I can see that they are also dissatisfied with Taoist Ao Bing's arrogance, but they can't resist."

Wang Ping smiled and thought for a few breaths before saying, "Haizhou Road has maintained a high-pressure policy for hundreds of years because of Fellow Daoist Zhigong's promotion. Now it has finally relaxed. If someone wants to make trouble, let them make trouble. We will slowly see. Anyway, the initiative is in our hands."

Liu Shuang couldn't understand Wang Ping's decision, but she didn't refute it, she just nodded silently.

Yu Lian looked at Liu Shuang and reminded him, "Haizhou Road is a tiny place. How can they cause chaos? Even if there is chaos, we don't need to do anything. The imperial army and the local monks can quell it. If they are really useless, don't we still have a large number of modified 'power pills' in our warehouse?"

"Disciple knows what to do!"

After saying this, Liu Shuang stood up and said goodbye.

Yu Lian also soared into the sky. Shen Xiaozhu was about to go into seclusion to look for an opportunity for promotion. During this period, she often went to Shen Xiaozhu's dojo.

Wang Ping stood up and walked to the pavilion at the edge of the garden, looking at the busy disciples in Qianmu Temple. After a while, he stretched out his left hand to fix a spell. The spell caused a golden light to flash between his eyebrows. Ten "sky swords" came out together to form a magic array. Under his feet was a giant map with golden light gathered.

A hundred years have passed, and many places in the north and east of this Zhongzhou map have lost their light, and only a few areas in the East China Sea still retain their light.

"People all over the world are changing their minds!"

While Wang Ping was talking to himself, he used the basic luck formation in his right hand to calculate. He wanted to calculate the rise and fall of the world. In an instant, hundreds of pictures appeared in his mind, but these pictures strangely turned into a fire after a few breaths!
When the fire started, Wang Ping immediately withdrew from the calculation and looked at the Bi Shi Yuan Shen in the center of the luck formation. The Bi Shi Yuan Shen was frantically devouring the energy brought to it by the formation.

"The future has actually been locked!"

He raised his eyelids and looked at the blue sky, his consciousness was unusually cold under the divine art of 'self-restraint'.

After more than ten breaths, he put away the 'Heavenly Sword', released the 'self-restraint' state, and looked at the disciples who were coming and going in the sect. Most of them were full of confidence and longing for the future.

More than ten breaths passed, and Wang Ping re-entered the Taoist Palace's database to read the information.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Wang Ping had a general plan for Yu Lian's spirit gathering magic weapon, Shen Xiaozhu officially went into seclusion to look for an opportunity for promotion. Her two disciples also successfully entered the Qi training stage and went out to gain experience with other disciples.

Just when Wang Ping focused his attention on Shen Xiaozhu and the spirit gathering artifact, a major event suddenly occurred in the north of Zhongzhou.

It's a drought!
Widespread drought.

That’s right, in a world with cultivators, a drought actually occurred in the mortal world, and it affected the entire Qingpu Road and most of Beiyuan Road.

When Wang Ping received the news, his spiritual consciousness instantly covered most of Zhongzhou, and he understood what was going on in a moment.

The fire spirits in the North Continent have become unusually active over the past year, which has led to this drought! (End of this chapter)
