There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 852 Rapidly Growing Compatibility

Wang Ping suppressed his impulse and looked at Li Miaolin who was standing respectfully beside him waiting for orders. He said seriously, "This matter can't be rushed. You just do your best. But you must remember one thing. Now that Taiyan Sect has been re-established, you cannot do evil in the name of Taiyan Sect. At least, you can't let the bad reputation spread."

Upon hearing this, Li Miaolin slightly raised his head and looked at Wang Ping. When he saw Wang Ping's deep eyes, he quickly lowered his head and replied loudly: "I will follow the orders of the Lord."

"Just go about your business."

"The disciple retire."

Li Miaolin bowed and then left the dojo as quickly as possible.

Wang Ping lowered his head and observed the natural wood spirit in his hand. It was different from the wood spirit cultivated in the body of a cultivator. It did not have any consciousness and was just pure energy.

The energy it contains is almost the same as the pure wood spirit energy between heaven and earth, and it can generate more wood spirit energy on its own, but it is very fragile and will quickly dissipate on its own if the living environment is not good.

On the contrary, if the living environment is good, it will also generate spiritual veins, which can allow non-Buddhist monks to enter.

"This is a good thing, are you going to give it to me?"

The voice of "Xinghai" rang in Wang Ping's ears, and then the illusory figure with an immortal look appeared in front of Wang Ping, revealing a pair of dark eyes, staring at the natural wood spirit in Wang Ping's hand.

Wang Ping was slightly surprised and asked, "Do you need this?"

The illusory head of 'Xinghai' nodded and said, "Absorbing its energy makes me feel very transparent. This is the only touch I can feel, so I like it very much."

He then looked at Wang Ping and said, "You probably need the energy in it for cultivation. Yu Xiao has collected it before. Give it to me and I will provide you with the energy for cultivation."

"Is this okay?" Wang Ping was delighted.

"The little bit of wood spirit energy you need for your practice is just a drop in the ocean for me, so what does it matter?" Xinghai responded indifferently, "What I want is the feeling of touch at that moment."

"Okay!" Wang Ping agreed very readily, and promised: "In the future, I will let my disciples specialize in collecting various spirits."

'Xinghai' nodded, and his dark eyes stared straight at the wood spirit in Wang Ping's hand.

Wang Ping immediately threw the natural wood spirit in his hand, and saw a colorful mysterious light projected from the illusory figure of the "Star Sea", completely covering the natural wood spirit. The next moment, the natural wood spirit quickly melted in the colorful mysterious light like a candy, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It was this feeling. This moment made me understand what Yuxiao meant by 'living'. It was wonderful and fascinating, but Yuxiao told me not to indulge in it, and I agreed with her."

Seeing Wang Ping about to throw the second wood spirit, Xinghai decisively stopped him and said, "I will absorb the rest next month. If you want to practice, you can find me anytime, but not in front of outsiders."

Wang Ping had already noticed that this 'Xinghai' had some social anxiety, which might be some ideas that Yuxiao had instilled in him.

Afterwards, Wang Ping was not in a hurry to practice, but took out the communication token and summoned Xuan Ling to Qianmu Temple.

At this time, Yu Lian and the calico cat were also returning from Baishui Lake. Yu Lian landed in front of the old locust tree and immediately shared the things about Baishui Lake with Wang Ping.

At present, Baishui Lake has long since recovered, and due to the sparse population, the ecology around the lake is more in line with nature. It's just that the spiritual energy is growing too fast, resulting in spiritual chaos in some places. Hu Qianqian is sending the aquatic soldiers from Baishui Lake to set up a magic circle to stabilize the spirituality in the surrounding area.

Time passed unknowingly during Yu Lian's narration, and it was almost the second half of the night. Wang Ping summoned the 'Sky Sword' to construct a magic array to stabilize his own consciousness, and then summoned the consciousness of 'Star Sea'.

Xinghai knew what Wang Ping was going to do. When he showed up, he stretched out his illusory hand, and immediately a pure wood spirit aura emerged. Then he said, "Yuxiao said that my existence has a great cause and effect, but I don't think so. This universe is new, and the previous universe has long become the past. The new universe will have its own rules, and the energy in my body has nothing to do with this new universe."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian's eyes were full of curiosity, and she asked, "You actually have a sense of humanity?"

"I don't think it's human consciousness. I just want to refute him. I agree with Yu Xiao on many things, but I don't agree with this one."

"Isn't this human nature? The most typical self-protection of human nature is fully reflected in what you just said."

"If you think so, then yes."

'Xinghai's' tone was very casual, as if he was disdainful of arguing with Yulian.

Yu Lian wanted to say something, but Wang Ping stopped her. He stroked Yu Lian's head and said, "Let's try it first."

Xinghai nodded and said, "You have cultivated into a wood spirit. The next step should be to integrate your own soul. This is a very simple thing. Yuxiao completed it in just a few years with my help."

Wang Ping nodded, and then his soul left his body and hovered above his physical body.

"Star Sea" sensed the emergence of Wang Ping's soul consciousness, and the wood spirit energy gathered on the illusory palm suddenly increased several times. When Wang Ping's consciousness stabilized, it suddenly poured into his soul.

Wang Ping's primordial spirit is originally a mixture of energy and consciousness, and his internal Qi sea is operating autonomously. When this wood spirit energy is infused in, his internal Qi sea and meridians absorb it naturally without any feeling of rejection. The moment it blends with the spiritual energy inside his primordial spirit, Wang Ping feels a very comfortable and refreshing feeling.

When this energy formed a big circulation in Wang Ping's soul, he suddenly had an idea and guided the energy inside his soul into his body. When this energy formed a big circulation in his body, it was completely digested by the wood spirit in his body.

Then came the second great cycle, and this cycle was repeated countless times until dawn. At that time, Wang Ping's soul opened his eyes and stopped the 'Sea of ​​Stars' from continuing to supply the wood spirit energy.

"Call me again if necessary."

"Xinghai" left these words and disappeared.

Wang Ping's mind moved and he called up the light screen panel. The practice he had done last night increased his compatibility a little, reaching (66/100).

The speed of cultivation is faster than expected, but it is estimated that this time is just a special case, and it will not be so fast next time. As he thought so, he took out the communication token to connect to Li Miaolin, telling him that he does not need to be obsessed with the natural wood spirit, and other spirit veins can also be bought. After all, "Xinghai" is not him, so he does not need to be obsessed with spirit veins of a single attribute.

Then he sent a message to Liu Shuang, telling her that she didn't need to look for the natural wood spirit anymore.

After doing all this, Wang Ping looked up at the clouds in the north. Above the edge of the northern mountains, Zi Luan and Xuan Ling had been waiting for a long time.

Yu Lian noticed Wang Ping's gaze and also looked towards the north and said, "They arrived two hours ago and have been waiting there."

It was still late at night two hours ago. As time passed, the two men were only left with respect for the Lord of the Mansion when facing Wang Ping. There was no longer any friendship between friends and master and disciple.

"You bring them in."

Wang Ping said to Yu Lian. When Yu Lian heard this, a cloud of auspiciousness rose around her and she rose into the sky in the blink of an eye.

There are two reasons for calling them here. The first is to dissolve the Lan Kingdom's court, and the other is to establish a spirit gathering array in the entire Zhongzhou land to condense a "Wood Spirit Origin". Considering the current situation in Zhongzhou mainland where there are few people and a lot of land, this task will not be difficult.

The two waited for two hours in the cold night wind, but only stayed in the mountaintop temple for less than half a quarter of an hour. Wang Ping handed over the affairs of Lan Kingdom to Xuan Ling, and the matter of arranging the spirit gathering array, which Wang Ping planned to do in the name of Taiyan Sect, was naturally handed over to Zi Luan. He only needed to complete an independent spirit gathering array, and Wang Ping's puppets could do the rest.

As soon as the two left, Liu Shuang received a reply, saying that she wanted to stay in Dongzhou to practice for a while.

Wang Ping put down the communication token, and for a moment he didn't know what to do next. He seemed to have some free time, but this leisure was only temporary.

Time passes slowly.

For the next nearly half a month, Wang Ping took Yu Lian and the calico cat to travel around the mountains and rivers during the day and practiced meditation at night, but there was no sign of any increase in the fusion progress.

...

This day happened to be the day when Bu Qiong and Quan Wen started their party.

Wang Ping did not plan to descend with his original consciousness this time. He activated a puppet in advance to go into the party and investigate the situation on his behalf.

When he entered the consciousness space with great interest, he found that it was a hall with almost no light. There were many unmarked seats in the hall. There was a high platform in the front where a monk was meditating. After waiting for a while, three people were projected in and communicated alone in the corner. They had no intention of paying attention to Wang Ping at all.

There is a bulletin board at the front of the seats, with some shared information and tasks issued by some people. At the top there is an announcement that a new person has joined the party, but there is no specific introduction to the new person.

"You must be the new guy."

The monk meditating on the high platform took the initiative to communicate with Wang Ping.

Wang Ping bowed but did not speak.

The monk on the platform was not angry at Wang Ping's rudeness. He explained for Wang Ping: "If you have any commission, please let me know and I will post it on the bulletin board for you."

Wang Ping just nodded and still said nothing.

The monk was not surprised and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

After Wang Ping finished reading the information and tasks on the bulletin board, he returned to a corner and sat down, then just watched quietly. As time passed, more and more monks connected to the projection space. Most of them came to accept tasks from the bulletin board, and a few came to post tasks.

These people are hiding their identities intentionally or unintentionally. Some of them travel in teams, but most of them travel in groups of three. Most of them come in and leave directly after scanning the tasks on the bulletin board. Some will ask the newcomers about their identities.

In just three hours, all the tasks on the bulletin board were accepted.

Wang Ping stayed until the signal from the projection space disappeared.

"A seemingly loose but actually very tight party organization." Yu Lian was connected to the puppet's consciousness throughout the whole process. She followed Wang Ping to observe everything that happened today, and made an evaluation of the party after exiting the projection space.

"These are all insignificant information. This is not a real party. I guess the real party is the temporary party that Quan Wen and Bu Qiong mentioned."

"It's possible, for example, when something unexpected happens, they will keep each other together for warmth."

"Ok!"

Wang Ping looked up at the sky. It was already late at night, which was the time when he usually practiced.

...

Time flies.

The Spring Festival came in the blink of an eye. After all this time of practice, the degree of harmony between Wang Ping's soul and body has reached (70/100). It can be said that he has made rapid progress, with a little progress every twenty days. If he continues like this, he can complete this step within two years.

On the day of the Spring Festival, only Hu Qianqian and Zuo Liang came to the mountaintop temple to pay New Year's greetings to Wang Ping. On the first day of the new year, Ao Hong also came to him for a drink and talked about the Taiyin Sect moving away from the southeast waters.

"It feels a lot quieter now that the Taiyin Sect has left. It's just that it's too quiet. I don't know what to do." After saying this, Ao Hong lay straight on the spiritual grass in a very ungraceful manner.

Yu Lian, who was playing with the calico cat, turned around and looked at Ao Hong. "You haven't even completed the fourth realm yet, how can you have nothing to do? Who do you plan to give Ao Bing's fourth realm quota to?"

Ao Hong continued to lie on the spiritual grass, using his magic power to control the wine in the jar beside him to pour into his mouth. After drinking to his satisfaction, he replied: "There are only a few of us brothers who have places in the fourth realm. The second, fourth, and eighth brothers are not interested. The fifth and sixth brothers are both good-for-nothings. The only possible one is the ninth brother, and he has agreed."

Yu Lian immediately became interested when she heard this, and flew over to ask, "Is it Jiang Cun's stupid dragon?"

The calico cat hid behind Yu Lian and looked at Ao Hong cautiously.

"It's him. I heard that he has a close relationship with you. Otherwise, I really don't want to give him this spot. He has been fascinated by the princess of the Xia Dynasty recently. I heard that the princess of the Xia Dynasty is also friends with you?"

"We once conquered a group of demons together when we were still Qigong practitioners." Wang Ping, who was playing chess alone on the coffee table nearby, responded casually.

"Ah? Qigong practitioner? I don't have any of my friends from when I was a Qigong practitioner anymore. Time flies!"

Wang Ping paused for a moment when he heard this, then looked up at the sky. Some people kept appearing in his mind. Among the friends he met when practicing Qigong, Xia Yao was the only one.

At this time, Ao Hong stood up and bowed to Wang Ping, saying, "Let's go, it's boring, go back to sleep."

After saying this, he flew up into the sky and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

After Ao Hong left, Wang Ping didn't put down the chess piece in his hand. He put down the chess piece, picked up the wine glass, looked at the empty dojo and said, "Maybe this place will become a barren mountain in the future?"

"The universe can be restarted, let alone this small hill. Don't think too much about it." Yu Lian Tengyun came over and lay on Wang Ping's shoulder, while the calico cat carefully walked to the place where Ao Hong had been lying just now, sniffed the smell, and then ran away suddenly.

At this moment, Wang Ping's heart moved, and he suddenly turned his head to look behind his courtyard, where there was an altar for worshiping Xiaoshan Zhenjun. His puppet was calling out Xiaoshan Zhenjun's real name day and night.

At this moment, there seems to be energy fluctuations above the altar...
