There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 855: Perfect Soul Compatibility

Wang Ping's casual expression turned serious when he heard Kaiyun's words. He adjusted his wide sleeves while thinking quickly. Yu Lian, who was lying on the back of the official chair, had Kaiyun's image in her pair of golden vertical pupils.

Seeing that Wang Ping did not answer immediately, Ao Hong on the side said, "Isn't the Vajra Temple a Xuanmen monk? Xizhou has you and the Taiyin Sect. Your two sects represent both the Xuanmen and the Tianmen. What else do you need us to do?"

Kaiyun said to Ao Hong in a serious tone, "Our Vajra Temple has never said that it can represent Xuanmen. Seventh Prince, please don't joke like that. The management of Xizhou's artifacts still depends on you."

He looked around at Zhi Gong, Ao Hong, and Wang Ping, and finally set his gaze on Wang Ping, waiting for Wang Ping's reply.

Wang Ping had already made up his mind not to interfere in the affairs of Xizhou, but he also wanted to gain benefits from Xizhou, such as building Xiaoshan Zhenjun and his temple.

So when he heard Kaiyun's serious answer, he deliberately showed a solemn expression and thought for more than ten breaths. He said, "If you have any ideas, you might as well speak out directly. My Taiyan Sect will definitely assist you with all its strength. After all, I have even sent my own disciples to Xizhou."

Kaiyun was silent for two breaths after hearing Wang Ping's answer. This should be a sign of dissatisfaction with Wang Ping's answer. Then he responded: "Xizhou also needs a structure similar to the Taoist Palace. Each sect should send disciples to maintain the spiritual balance of Xizhou."

Ao Hong said disdainfully: "You speak so eloquently, but you just want us to maintain order in Xizhou for you for free, right?"

Kaiyun had been targeted by Ao Hong for a long time and was a little angry, so he said to Ao Hong: "Seventh Prince, you are blinded by one leaf and have prejudices when looking at everything. If this continues, be careful of the demons in your heart."

Wang Ping stopped Ao Hong from continuing his meaningless conversation, looked at Zhi Gong and asked, "What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

Zhi Gong thought for a moment and said, "I have no interest in the affairs of Xizhou, but since Master Kaiyun said this is a tradition, then our Diku Sect has an obligation to do so. If Master Kaiyun has a need, our Diku Sect can send disciples to Xizhou."

Wang Ping nodded and added, "My attitude is the same as Fellow Daoist Zhigong's. In principle, I will not interfere in the affairs of Xizhou. If you need me, my Taiyan Sect will immediately send disciples to Xizhou."

Ao Hong smiled and said, "I don't know if the Taiyin Church will agree to my disciples from Linshui Prefecture going to Xizhou. They were just driven out by us."

Kai Yun ignored Ao Hong's words, stood up and made a one-handed Buddhist salute to Wang Ping, saying, "The affairs of Zhongzhou Dao Palace are now fully handed over to you, Daoyou. If there is anything important, we can directly hold a meeting of the two chairs." As he spoke, he took out a communication token and handed it to Wang Ping, "I'll trouble you to give this token to the second chair of the demon clan."

He did not mention anything about Xizhou again and said goodbye.

Wang Ping stood up and walked Kaiyun to the door. After a round of polite words, Kaiyun flew away.

After Kaiyun's figure disappeared into the sky, Ao Hong asked Wang Ping with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, do you really not intend to care about the affairs of Xizhou?"

Wang Ping answered affirmatively: "How can I care? No matter how much we do, it's all Kering's business. It's better not to get involved from the beginning. I can only preach in Xizhou. For other matters, I will follow the lead of Vajra Temple."

Ao Hong nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "You are also very calculating, but I can't understand why Kaiyun wants to drag us along. If I didn't know him well, I would have thought he was a generous guy."

Zhi Gong said, "What's so confusing? The Vajra Temple has always claimed to be the righteous one, and everything must be done with a legitimate reason. He brought us in just to make Xizhou's artifact legitimate and prevent Zhongzhou from taking away Xizhou's fortune."

After she said this, she said goodbye to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping naturally did not try to persuade them to stay. After Zhi Gong left, he turned around to look at Quan Wen, Bu Qiong and Man Su, and casually handed the communication token to Quan Wen. Finally, he looked at Ao Hong and said, "Which three people do you think should be the chiefs in the first twenty years to preside over the daily affairs of the Second Seat Meeting?"

Ao Hong said subconsciously: "The demon clan, the Vajra Temple, and..."

He couldn't say the third place for a while.

Wang Ping smiled and said, "Why not go to Linshui Mansion?"

Ao Hong thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I don't have anything to do anyway. I just want to have some fun with the old monks from the Vajra Temple."

Wang Ping nodded and asked, "Where do you think is a good place to put the headquarters?" Without waiting for Ao Hong to answer, he looked at Quan Wen and others and asked, "What do you think?"

Ao Hong complained: "Just say what you think, why are you imitating Kering's way of speaking?"

Wang Ping smiled slightly, invited everyone to sit down again, and then said: "We need to strengthen the responsibilities and powers of the headquarters, otherwise the Taoist Palace might as well be rebuilt, or there is no need to set up such a large stall at all."

"What power?" Bu Qiong asked.

"The greatest power of the Taoist Palace is actually to maintain order in the spiritual world everywhere and to investigate those monks who violate the rules of the Taoist Palace. Do you think the monks in the Vajra Temple will abide by the rules of the Taoist Palace?" Wang Ping picked up the teacup, but found that the tea in the cup had gone cold, so he asked Zi Luan at the door to arrange someone to come and add new tea.

"But Vajra Temple won't let us investigate Zhongshan Kingdom." Ao Hong understood a little.

"That's for sure, but if they really want to stop our investigation, they will have to pay something." Wang Ping looked at Zi Luan at the door and asked, "Do you think such a deal is possible?"

Zi Luan clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Of course you can. These little things are the real benefits, and Master Kering will not personally intervene in these little things."

Everyone here is a smart person, so after hearing this, they will understand what to do.

"Doesn't Kaiyun understand the truth behind this?" Man Su reminded, "Don't underestimate the Vajra Temple, and don't underestimate Kaiyun. He has witnessed almost the entire process of the rise of the human monks, and has experienced more things than any of us."

"Even if he understands, he can't do anything about it. Vajra Temple is now very large. We need to look at things separately from Kering and Vajra Temple. Besides, all his energy is now in Xizhou. Secondly..."

Wang Ping looked around at everyone, "Secondly, every sect has more or less some ungrateful people."

Ao Hong couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the headquarters?"

Wang Ping looked at Quan Wen and said, "I think Mianzhu County is a good place."

Quan Wen instinctively felt that this was not something he could do, but facing the gaze from Wang Ping, he could only bite the bullet and stand up, bowing and saying, "Since Lord Changqing thinks highly of us, we are naturally willing to take on this responsibility."

This is what it means to be grateful for what you have received.

At this time, an inner sect disciple came in to replace the tea for everyone, and everyone took the opportunity to think about Wang Ping's suggestion just now.

After the disciple who changed the tea left, Ao Hong picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one breath. Then he bowed to Wang Ping and said, "This is settled. My disciple Hong Ze will take care of the rest. I will go back first."

Wang Ping nodded.

Then the others left one after another, promising to send their disciples to discuss the follow-up matters. The hall suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of Yu Lian drinking tea. Wang Ping sat on the official chair and thought for a while. When Yu Lian rolled up his cup of tea with her tail, he looked at Zi Luan and asked, "Do you think anyone in this room can be truly trusted?"

Zi Luan was startled, perhaps because he was surprised that Wang Ping would ask him this. He lowered his head and responded, "I dare not judge them, but I still want to remind you, Lord Fu. Zhongzhou is weak now. You seem to have the best relationship with the Seventh Prince, but in fact, your relationship is the most vulnerable to the interests of the outside world. Instead, the demon clan is more trustworthy."

Wang Ping nodded slightly. He actually had the same idea, but he didn't want to cause any trouble. Ao Hong probably didn't want to either. He didn't tell Zi Luan about his idea, but directly ordered: "You have to take care of the next thing yourself and do it better."

"Yes!"

When Zi Luan agreed, Wang Ping had already disappeared with Yu Lian.

After Wang Ping disappeared, Zi Luan clasped his fists and bowed to the place where Wang Ping had just been. At this time, Li Miaolin walked in, looked at the empty hall, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Lord of the Mansion has already dominated the Second Seat Meeting in just a few hundred years, while we are still wasting our lives in the Third Realm."

Xuan Ling also walked out and looked at the place where Wang Ping had just been.

Zi Luan then stepped forward and lit three incense sticks for the golden statue of Xiao Shan Zhen Jun. Li Miaolin ordered the inner disciples waiting outside to come in and remove the chairs and coffee table, and then he and Xuan Ling stepped forward to burn incense.

"When I first heard of the Lord of the Mansion's name, he was just a Qigong practitioner. Now it feels like a dream, but I know that everything that happened to the Lord of the Mansion will never happen to me again. We still need to practice carefully and not make the slightest mistake."

Zi Luan still maintained his awe-inspiring heart.

Upon hearing this, Li Miaolin also put away the smile on his face, glanced at the golden statue of Wang Ping on the left side of the hall, looked at the two distinct forms of the statue, good and evil, and said: "His current cultivation may have surpassed my master, which means he is getting closer and closer to the fifth realm. I wonder if he will take the last step like Master Xiaoshan. If he can enter the fifth realm, we will have a chance."

Zi Luan and Xuan Ling both had a hint of anticipation on their faces when they heard this, but they immediately concealed it. Zi Luan then said, "We just need to do what the Lord of the Mansion has ordered us to do now and use this opportunity to practice well. Otherwise, you won't be able to seize the future opportunities that are right in front of you."

Hearing this, Li Miaolin glanced at Xuan Ling beside him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as I have the chance, I will definitely not give it to you."

Zi Luan did not respond, and Xuan Ling silently left the hall. He looked at the internal affairs disciples who were still on guard around the area, and waved to Leng Kezhen who was at the edge of the stairs in front of him. The latter quickly walked forward.

"Let all the disciples in charge of internal affairs withdraw." Xuan Ling ordered.

"Yes!"

Leng Kezhen took the order in an orderly manner, while Xuan Ling had already turned into a streak of light and left.

At this time, Qingjiang came over and looked at Leng Kezhen. Seeing Ziluan and Li Miaolin walking out of the hall, he quickly bowed to Ziluan and said, "Uncle Master."

Zi Luan just nodded to Qing Jiang, and then he and Li Miaolin turned into streams of light and returned to their respective dojos at the same time.

Leng Kezhen immediately evacuated the inner disciples in an orderly manner. In the morning, except for the inner disciples doing their homework, the ordinary Qigong disciples came the most at other times. They mainly came to burn incense and worship.

When Leng Kezhen was about to leave, Ke Yue flew over with Luo Feng and asked, "How did the talk go?"

Leng Kezhen shook his head, "Not sure." Then he said, "But the result will be revealed soon. I guess the headmaster will announce it tomorrow. After all, the specific matters still need to be handled by us."

Ke Yue nodded.

These people particularly hope that the Demon Realm will be opened, because that means sufficient benefits, and for Luo Feng and Leng Kezhen, there may also be opportunities for promotion.

In the blink of an eye, the area around the Guizhen Hall became quiet. After Leng Kezhen and Qingjiang left, Ke Yue walked down the steps and watched the Qigong disciples walking towards the Guizhen Hall with hope. She whispered, "I heard from the True Yang Sect that Lord Changqing has a place in the True Yang Fourth Realm."

"It doesn't belong to you!"

Luo Feng reminded very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ke Yue's eyes shone with fire and countless flame cracks spread across her neck. She was obviously a little emotional, but Luo Feng still had the same expression.

The two of them walked silently to the steps leading down the mountain at the edge of the square. Ke Yue looked at the southern sky and said, "What if I am willing to become the puppet of the Lord of the Mansion?"

Luo Feng stopped when he heard that and tried to speak several times but couldn't say anything.

They have been cautious in every step since they started practicing. To have their current level of cultivation and status can definitely be said to have overcome many obstacles, but now their road has come to an end.

This is extremely despairing, but it is also the fate of most monks.

...

the other side.

Wang Ping returned to the dojo on the top of the mountain and returned to his lazy state, while Yu Lian took the calico cat to find Hu Qianqian.

A month passed in a flash, and it was mid-November. The weather in the south gradually became cooler, and people unconsciously put on cotton clothes. The degree of compatibility between Wang Ping's soul and his body increased by two points, reaching (85/100).

The Xindu Lan Kingdom experienced its first civil strife inside and outside the newly built imperial palace. The people were still preparing for the Spring Festival and were overwhelmed by the sudden chaos.

The coup lasted for three days and the old emperor was ousted. Just as power was being transferred in the new capital, conflicts suddenly broke out between towns and cities, as if the entire south was at war overnight.

Wang Ping discovered that the war had tripled the speed at which spiritual faith was generated in his kingdom of God. This was the result of Taoist temples in various places taking the opportunity to spread the gospel, because most of the Taoist temples in the southern Taoist tradition now worship him as their ancestor.

When chaos broke out all over the south, he was like a god, watching from above, occasionally using magic to heal some devout believers. This made his faith in the Kingdom of God more and more solid.

Half a year after the unrest broke out, monks from the Vajra Temple entered the southern Taoist tradition to preach and established temples in remote areas of Mozhou Road and Sanjiang region.

Wang Ping just watched quietly and did not stop it.

As the Spring Festival of the 107th year of the new calendar is approaching, the progress of the harmony between Wang Ping's soul and body has reached (100/100).
