There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Three days flew by.

As there was no specific time for the gathering, Wang Ping used the communication token to enter the projection space after noon. It was still the round table with fifteen seats. There were already eight people sitting around the table. In addition to the seven people last time, there was an additional middle-aged man in a purple robe.

Wang Ping's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. He sat down in his seat facing everyone's gaze, and heard Quan Wen pointing at the middle-aged man in purple robe and introducing him, "This is Master Shi Xu of Chunfeng Temple in Xizhou, who practices the Jade Purity Sect's technique of external incarnation."

He is a Yuqing side sect, which means he is at most a third-level cultivator, but he can attend this meeting. It is obvious that he has some special relationship.

Wang Ping bowed as he thought to himself.

Shi Xu stood up and returned the greeting.

Quan Wen introduced Shi Xu again, "This is Taoist friend Changqing from Taiyan Sect."

"Greetings to Lord Changqing!"

Shi Xu stood up again and saluted with his fists clasped, his attitude appearing very respectful.

Wang Ping had no choice but to bow again.

After greeting the two, Canglan said, "Wait another half an hour."

What he meant by 'wait half an hour' was waiting to see if other members were going to show up.

No one responded, which was a tacit agreement to Canglan's proposal.

Half an hour passed quickly and no one showed up. During this process, everyone tacitly kept silent.

When the time was up, Quan Wen spoke first: "A lot of things have happened in the cultivation world during this period. The most important thing is of course the sudden appearance of Ao Yi from Linshui Mansion. I believe that everyone must have a lot of new commissions and new information."

Canglan spoke before Quan Wen finished speaking: "I have two commissions. First, I need a large amount of energy crystals. I can exchange them with the 'blood and sweat' of the Taiyin Cult believers, which can generate a large amount of spirituality."

"For the second commission, I want all the information about the evil Taiyin cultivators in various parts of Xizhou, especially the information about the evil Taiyin cultivators' bases and temples that offer blood and flesh sacrifices."

His tone was a little impatient.

The so-called "heart blood" is a drop of blood donated to the Taiyin Sect by the followers of the Taiyin Sect once every three months through a fixed sacrificial method. This drop of blood contains the wish and faith of the sacrificer and has sufficient and pure spirituality.

According to the myths within the Taiyin Sect, their ancestors were born from the original sea of ​​blood in the universe, so they worshipped blood sacrifice magic. It is rumored that at first, Taiyin monks had to perform large amounts of blood and flesh sacrifices every day, causing many people within the sect to become bloodthirsty and evil, and even become crazy. Later, with the rise of humanity, blood and flesh sacrifices were gradually eliminated and replaced with offerings from believers.

This is the so-called difference between the evil Taiyin cultivators and the orthodox Taiyin cultivators. The evil Taiyin cultivators like to refine magical instruments with their own and others' flesh and blood, while the orthodox Taiyin cultivators refine corpses with the bodies sacrificed after natural death of their believers, or use magical instruments made by themselves instead of flesh and blood. This does reduce the chances of bloodthirstiness and madness.

"Do you have the final say in Taiyin Sect now?" asked the tiger demon Wang Yan.

"It will be jointly managed by me and my junior brother Canghai." Canglan responded with a bow.

"My heart's blood is to be offered to Master Bai Yan. How dare you take it out for trade? Will there be any trouble?" Quan Wen asked.

"Don't worry, the True Lord has issued a decree that the remaining 'hard work' in the Taiyin Sect will be handled by me and my junior brother, but the condition is that we do our best to prevent Ao Yi from advancing to the fifth realm."

After Canglan answered, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

It was a blessing in disguise for him.

Bu Qiong asked curiously, "Did Master Bai Yan express his attitude towards the matter of Taoist Lin Shuang?"

Cang Lan replied: "No, the True Lord only said one thing, to do his best to stop Ao Yi from advancing to the fifth realm."

You Han of the Star God Alliance said with a smile: "If we stop Ao Yi from being promoted, Taoist Lin Shuang will no longer be a threat. If she is lucky, she may be exiled like Taoist Cang Yue. If she is unlucky, she will die."

The snake demon Bai Lin also commented: "You are really broad-minded. If it were me, I would have to deal with the person who betrayed me first, otherwise I would not be able to think straight."

"That's the nature of you snake demons!" Wang Yan said this subconsciously.

"Don't force me to hit anyone!" Bai Lin looked at Wang Yan coldly.

"Don't argue." Quan Wen stopped the two of them in time, then looked around at everyone and said, "Did anyone accept Daoist Canglan's two requests?"

Shi Xu said quickly: "I can help ask my disciples to keep an eye out for the traces of the evil cultivators of Taiyin in Xizhou, and I can also ask the court to pay more attention to some strange cases."

You Han said, "I can accept both commissions." He then looked at Cang Lan curiously and asked, "Has Lord Cangji really passed away?"

Everyone was interested in this question, especially Wang Ping.

"That's right. I want the energy crystal to refine the Rakshasa Ring he left behind. None of us expected that Senior Lin Shuang would suddenly take action. The Netherworld body left by Senior Brother Cangji has been damaged. I guess this place in the Fourth Realm will only be available again when the True Lord returns."

Canglan's tone was affirmative at first, but then a little sad.

Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as his memory emerged of several confrontations with Cang Ji. This Taiyin monk was arrogant and looked down on others, but in Wang Ping's heart he was not bad. At least he always stuck to what he said, unlike Kai Yun who was cunning.

So, Wang Ping thought for a while and said, "With the Linshui Mansion in front of us, no matter how much we investigate secretly about the Taiyin evil cultivator, it will probably be in vain..." He looked at Canglan and suggested, "You can just let the Vajra Temple come forward to investigate openly. In this way, Ao Yi will not be able to stop him. After all, Ao Yi came out this time under the name of protecting the people."

Canglan was stunned at first. He was used to using tricks and conspiracies. When he first took over the power of Taiyin Sect, he was not used to dealing with problems with righteousness and open conspiracy.

"Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot. Now I have a great advantage!"

Canglan bowed in greeting.

Wang Ping continued, "But the secret investigation cannot stop. You can deal with the evil Taiyin cultivators you found in the secret investigation in a righteous way."

After Wang Ping made his suggestion, the tiger demon Wang Yan scratched his head and said, "You are the ones who can think of ways to get things done. Others will still have to thank you." Upon hearing this, Bai Lin first bowed to Wang Ping and said to Wang Yan, "The Lord of Changqing Mansion is the orthodox Xuanmen. How can a crude guy like you imagine it?"

Wang Ping bowed politely and glanced quickly at Bai Lin and Wang Yan. These two demon cultivators had not been so confrontational in previous gatherings, but now they were displeased with each other. It must be because there was a rift in the split of the demon clan this time.

Quan Wen stepped forward again to stop the quarrel between the two, and took out a jade scroll from his arms and unfolded it, saying to everyone: "I also have a commission here. I want the lives of the people on the jade scroll. Each life can be exchanged for a spiritual body!"

"What's special about them?" Ji He, who had been silent, asked softly.

"They are all traitors who have left the Demon Realm, and all of them are at the Jindan stage!" Quan Wen looked at Bai Lin while speaking, "See if there are any more people you want to add."

Bai Lin nodded, and then he also took out a jade scroll from his bosom, on which there was also a list. He offered the same conditions as Quan Wen, and then asked Quan Wen: "You can also see if there are any people who should be added or removed!"

"Humph"

The tiger demon Wang Yan's eyes were a little cold, but he did not stop the two of them.

Yu Lian, who was connected to Wang Ping's spiritual consciousness, watched Quan Wen and Bai Lin checking the list like they were checking accounts, and couldn't help but complain in her spiritual sea: "Are they cleaning up each other's internal opponents? Now they are at the Jindan realm, I'm afraid the next time they will be big monsters at the Dancheng realm."

Wang Ping responded: "Human nature is like this. The consequences that Ao Yi has to bear this time are too great. Only he can do this. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been dealt with long ago."

For the next half hour, everyone was discussing the two lists in Quan Wen and Bai Lin's hands. With the help of Bai Lin and Quan Wen, it was not difficult to clear out the people on the list, because the two could provide each other with information about the people on the list, and then ambush them, making it almost impossible to fail.

And there is no need to worry about being noticed by Ao Yi. Firstly, the demon clan is already in a hostile relationship after the split within themselves, and secondly, the demon clan in the Jindan stage are not high enough for Ao Yi to pay personal attention to.

Wang Ping will naturally get a share of the profits, and if Zi Luan is asked to do this, he will definitely do a great job.

After settling the matter between Quan Wen and Bai Lin, You Han said in a gap between the conversations: "According to the information we have received, if Ao Yi wants to advance to the fifth realm, he must summon the cosmic flood to perform an unprecedented ceremony. Everyone needs to be prepared in advance. However, because of this, he may have to wait at least four hundred years."

Hearing this, Canglan looked at Quan Wen, thought for a moment, and asked, "How many resources did you spend to build an outer space ecological zone?"

Quan Wen replied: "A lot, that's because we need to arrange a lot of clansmen. If you want to build it, you can reduce the scale. You may ask Lord Changqing for detailed questions."

Wang Ping met Canglan's gaze and did not refuse the business that came to his door. He said, "You can send someone to the Taiyan Sect's headquarters to discuss this matter."

His answer touched many people's hearts. Today is a world of great contention, and everyone is thinking about their own escape routes. Building an ecological zone in outer space is undoubtedly the best option.

Yu Lian said in the Spiritual Sea: "Now even the Taiyin Sect is on your side. Ao Yi's matter may seem like a disaster, but it indirectly helps you."

Wang Ping did not expect things to be so dramatic, but the premise of all this was to prevent Ao Yi's promotion.

No one asked for a commission after that. After chatting for a while, You Han continued the topic he had not finished just now. "According to the accurate news from the top leaders of the Star God Alliance, the True Lords really do not have time to care about Ao Yi's affairs. If Ao Yi goes crazy this time, the Three Continents may be destroyed."

Ji He said softly: "From this incident, we can see that this world still cannot escape the attention of the True Lords."

Shi Xu respectfully clasped his fists towards You Han and asked, "May I ask, Senior, why can't you take care of this world? Logically speaking, their humanity should need the believers of this world."

"The Dragon Lord went a little crazy because of his beloved son's death, and almost caused the star spirits in your starry sky to lose balance. The True Lords need to contain the Dragon Lord, and Ao Yi's promotion may be a bet made by the True Lords."

After saying this, You Han laughed out loud, "This is just my guess, you can just treat it as a joke."

Everyone looked at You Han in silence, then Quan Wen looked at Bai Lin and asked, "What special information can be collected from Linshui Prefecture? What will Ao Yi do next?"

Bai Lin said under the gaze of everyone: "Everyone in Linshui Prefecture is currently preparing for the Ninth Prince Jiang Cun to be promoted to the Fourth Realm. Ao Yi's eyes are on Xizhou. He plans to eliminate the influence of the Vajra Temple in Xizhou."

After hearing this, Quan Wen looked at Bu Qiong, then Bu Qiong looked at Wang Ping and asked, "I wonder what the Xuanmen is planning?"

Wang Ping answered without much thought: "I don't have too many ideas. Ao Yi is now powerful, so we can only obey him temporarily. Vajra Temple should make some efforts, but I think it will be in vain."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Speaking of Kering, I realized that he was most likely a member of this party, but why is he not here?"

Tiger demon Wang Yan immediately asked back: "How did you know?"

His reaction amounted to admission.

"I naturally have my own way," Wang Ping responded casually, and then repeated, "Was Kering really a member of the party before?"

"Let me answer this question." Quan Wen took over the topic, paused for two breaths, prepared his words and continued: "Kai Yun was indeed a member of the gathering before he was promoted to the fourth realm. He was able to be promoted to the fourth realm with the help of the gathering. Later, Kai Yun used the intelligence of the gathering to frame Cang Lan's master Hao Ze, and also made Cang Lan bear the crime of killing his master. He was almost expelled from the Taiyin Sect."

"This is against the principles of our gathering. We later organized several sieges against Kaiyun, but we never had a chance to take him down. Later, his cultivation gradually improved, and Master Tiangong spoke for him. After he returned the communication token for the gathering, the matter was dropped."

Wang Yan said angrily: "We still have a commission to attack Kering."

Cang Lan bowed to Wang Ping and said, "If Lord Changqing can take down Kaiyun, just ask for anything you want. I will give it to you without hesitation as long as I can give it to you."

Wang Ping pretended not to hear it, as the consequences of taking down Kering were too great.

The next period of time is for everyone to report the intelligence they have obtained. This is also the real meaning of this gathering. Party members will use this intelligence to avoid danger or plan to seize something.

Half an hour later, at the end of the party, Quan Wen looked around and said, "Ao Yi's appearance has made many things uncertain. If you have any information related to the safety of the party members, please remind us in time. Now is a time of great strife, and we can only move forward by supporting each other."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Wang Ping, made a promise.

After exiting the projection space, Wang Ping sorted out the information from the party, then explained some things to Zi Luan through the communication token, and continued to collect his "Wood Spirit Origin".

He suddenly felt somewhat fortunate at this moment. If the artifact of Zhongzhou Continent had not fallen, he would not have had time to practice at this moment. (End of this chapter)
