There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 910: Settle Some Causes and Effects

Que Cai received a formal promise and the poison in his body was cured. Now he can continue to use the longevity pills and doesn't have to worry about his lifespan coming to an end, so the smile on his face is genuine.

Wang Ping cast his eyes towards Leng Kezhen at this time, and saw through his cultivation at a glance. The demon aura of the weapon cultivation array in his body was slightly chaotic. This should be the result of re-cultivating the secret method of the Jiuding Sect. However, Wang Ping had no intention of helping him, but asked: "Captain Leng, what do you want?"

Leng Kezhen was stunned at first by Wang Ping's distant address, then realized that he was asking her. She immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, I don't have too many extravagant demands. I just hope to pass on what I have learned throughout my life. If my disciple is lucky enough to reach the fourth level of instrument cultivation, I hope you will give me a chance."

Wang Ping's expression remained calm when he heard this. He picked up his teacup and asked, "Are you sure you've made up your mind?"

Leng Kezhen said confidently and loudly, "Yes, I have made up my mind. I have wasted my whole life, and it is not easy for me to have the cultivation I have now. It is impossible for me to go any further."

Wang Ping nodded, and a bright light appeared on his outstretched right hand. He cast the light into Leng Kezhen's brow and warned: "This is the secret method of the fourth level of weapon cultivation. Since you are a disciple of my Taiyan Sect, no one will stop you from being promoted, but whether you can be promoted successfully depends entirely on your own strength."

Such a reward may seem like alms, but for someone like Leng Kezhen it is a huge favor. After all, he is truly a rootless duckweed.

"Thank you, Zhenjun!"

Leng Kezhen placed his hands flat on the stone road like Ziluan had just done and prostrated himself.

Wang Ping ignored him and turned his cold gaze to Qing Jiang. He said, "Your master and I have a connection, and you have done so many things for our Tai Yan Sect. Tell me, what do you want?"

Qing Jiang bowed and responded, "I just want to start a new sect and pass on my master's teachings."

"that's it?"

Wang Ping showed a surprised look.

Yu Lian said: "You are content, you have to think carefully."

Qingjiang replied: "Disciple has thought about it. The road of cultivation is very long. Everyone's life is full of ups and downs. It takes a little thought to go further."

Wang Ping put down the teacup in his hand. Logically speaking, Qingjiang could establish its own sect by himself, and he didn't need his approval at all. After thinking carefully for two breaths, he looked at Que Cai and said, "You and Taoist Li should pay more attention to Qingjiang's affairs."

Que Cai sensed Wang Ping's gaze and heard these words, and immediately understood, and quickly responded: "Yes!"

Qing Jiang kowtowed respectfully, "Thank you, Master Zhenjun, for your help!"

Wang Ping ignored the two and looked at the remaining Luo Feng and Ke Yue, waving his hand and saying, "You can leave first."

Que Cai and the other two did not hesitate and quickly bowed and left. When the three of them disappeared at the end of the path, Wang Ping said to Luo Feng and Ke Yue, "You two have worked hard over the years. Tell me, what do you want?"

The two were silent for a while, and finally Luo Feng spoke first: "I just want a Star God Core that can be cultivated to the fourth level and is not controlled by the Star God Alliance, so that I can better serve the True Lord!"

His practice is to fuse magic weapons. He has no spiritual veins in his body, but he can turn to practicing the Star God Core. Moreover, he is very skillful in speaking.

Wang Ping felt really benefited after listening to it, and he just happened to have two Star God Cores obtained from killing two Fourth Realm Star Gods before. He planned to keep the 'time' ability for himself to refine a magic weapon, and the core of the 'barrier' ability could be given to Luo Feng for practice, and it was also a good match for Luo Feng's 'Gentleman Sword'.

Yu Lian commented in the Spiritual Sea: "The lives of these two are tragic. Luo Feng seemed to have chosen the Star God Core, but in fact he chose the Taiyan Sect."

Wang Ping also understood this truth, so a smile flashed across his cold face. He took out the Star God Core with the ability of "Boundary" from his storage bag and asked, "Why don't you want a Star God Core that can be cultivated to the fifth level?"

There are cultivation restrictions for the Star God Core. Currently, the only Star God Cores known to be able to be cultivated to the fifth level are Space, Time, Secrecy, Censor, Dream, and Reproduction. Among them, the fifth level of Secrecy and Censor are the most common.

Most other abilities can only be cultivated to the third level, and a few can be cultivated to the fourth level.

"I know that my abilities are low. If I can cultivate to the fourth realm with the help of the Star God Core, it is already my limit. I dare not dream of the fifth realm." Luo Feng lowered his head and said quickly: "Moreover, with what I have done so far, I dare not ask for a better reward."

Wang Ping handed the Star God Core in his hand to Hu Qianqian beside him. Hu Qianqian took the Star God Core with understanding and quickly stepped forward to hand it to Luo Feng.

"Thank you, Master, for your help!"

Luo Feng gratefully put his forehead to the ground to express his gratitude according to the etiquette of the Dongzhou continent.

Wang Ping smiled and responded, "No need to be polite."

He was much more lenient towards Luo Feng, and then he looked at Ke Yue. Without waiting for Wang Ping to ask again, Ke Yue, who felt Wang Ping's gaze, immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I want to plan for the fourth realm!"

Wang Ping looked her up and down and said, "In your condition, you will definitely die if you advance to the fourth realm. Besides, the Zhenyang Sect cannot give you the fourth realm. They don't have any vacancies at the moment."

"I know, I am willing to be your puppet!" Ke Yue also put his head on the ground and begged, "I heard that you have a fourth-level quota in the Zhenyang Sect, I am willing to be your puppet."

His words surprised and incredulous the disciples behind Wang Ping. Yu Lian even asked directly, "Have you thought about it? Do you know what this means?"

"I just want to see what the fourth realm is like, even if it's just for a glimpse!"

Ke Yue's tone was firm.

Wang Ping looked at Ke Yue carefully and found that her emotions were very stable. This should be the result of her careful consideration. So he couldn't help but glance at the disciples around him.

Liu Shuang had an expression of incomprehension, Xuan Ling was frowning and thinking about something, Shen Xiaozhu had a look of regret as if they had a similar fate, but Hu Qianqian had a clear look and did not think too much about the problem.

Facing Wang Ping's gaze, his disciples quickly gathered their minds and lowered their heads.

Yu Lian said to Wang Ping in the Spiritual Sea: "Your disciples still need more experience and more experience in the world."

"I understand. I can promise you that when I need a fourth-level rank in the Zhenyang Sect, I will consider you first." Wang Ping had no reason to give up such a ready-made third-level Zhenyang cultivator, which could save him hundreds or even thousands of years.

"Thank you, Master Zhenjun, for your help."

Ke Yue's emotions finally fluctuated greatly.

Wang Ping waved his hand and said, "Step back and do your job properly."

"Yes!"

The two soon disappeared at the end of the trail.

Wang Ping leaned casually on the cushioned armrest, and after a long silence, he asked, "What are your plans?"

The targets of his inquiries were naturally the four disciples around him.

But no one answered. Wang Ping turned his head and looked at the four people with a scrutinizing gaze, finally stopping at Shen Xiaozhu, and asked: "Xiaozhu, what about you? Have you thought about the future?"

Shen Xiaozhu bowed and said, "In reply to Master, I have come through so many difficulties along the way. I have not thought carefully about the future path. I would like to take a rest for a while and think it over carefully before making any decision."

Wang Ping said "hmm", then looked at Xuan Ling and asked, "What about you?"

"I will follow the teacher's arrangements in everything."

Xuan Ling’s answer was very standard.

Wang Ping couldn't help but chuckle, looked at Hu Qianqian and asked, "What about you?"

Hu Qianqian met Wang Ping's gaze, her furry ears gently flipped back and her tail at her waist stood up and swung back and forth. When she first became Wang Ping's apprentice, she felt that Wang Ping was a Taoist monk of the righteous Xuanmen school, and that Qianmu Temple had a good reputation in the local area. After seeing him with her own eyes, she felt that he had a strong Taoist aura, and was not as eager for quick success as most practitioners. The most important thing was that there was no disgust or impatience in the look he gave her.

At that time, it seemed that she came to the door rashly, but in fact she had been observing Wang Ping for a long time.

Her original plan was to wait until she had achieved success in her training and then help Qianmu Temple, but she didn't expect to rely on a big tree, which made her win without any effort for the past thousand years.

"Disciple wants to practice in front of Master!"

Hu Qianqian expressed her thoughts.

Wang Ping laughed loudly, then shook his head and said, "Your future does not depend on me, but on you. The best I can do is to protect you."

Yu Lian also smiled and said: "It won't help you to practice with your master, and you will be affected."

Hu Qianqian had no choice but to lower her head.

Wang Ping looked at Liu Shuangyan and said, "Shuang'er, you are very suitable to stay beside me to practice."

Liu Shuang was startled, but said: "Disciple still has Lei'er and the others to take care of. After Lei'er enters the country, disciple will go to Master to show filial piety!"

The 'Lei'er' she mentioned is Yang Rong's new disciple Zhao Lei, who has not yet entered the country.

Wang Ping did not force it. He then scanned the people outside the gate and said, "Qianqian, go and invite Taoist Zhigong, Taoist Li, Bu Qiong, and Quan Wen in. As for the others, let them go. Shuang'er and Xiaozhu, go and invite Taoist Fellow Rongyang in."

Now that Wang Ping has achieved the status of True Lord, he can simply ignore the fourth-level cultivators who have nothing to do with him. Moreover, they are the preachers of the other True Lords. It is not in Wang Ping's interest to have too much contact with them and be involved in too many causes and effects. Therefore, in Wang Ping's eyes now, their value is not as good as those third-level cultivators he had just met.

As for Huai Mo, Ao Hong and others who had a close relationship with him, the cause and effect had been resolved during his promotion. As for Rong Yang, he had some troubles. Wang Ping obviously owed him a favor, so he had to meet him no matter what.

After the three disciples responded, Wang Ping instructed Xuan Ling: "Your future is in Taiyan Sect. Now that Taoist Priest Li has come to pay you a visit, you can't stay here any longer. Go back to your temple."

While thinking about the meaning of this sentence, Xuan Ling clasped his fists, bowed, and followed Hu Qianqian to the door.

Outside the gate of the Taoist temple, many monks from the fourth realm were still waiting in an orderly manner. If Hu Qianqian had faced the gazes of these people in the past, she would have immediately lowered her head and stepped back, but now she was able to look at them calmly, and it was she who was being humble and cautious.

“Is this the True Lord?”

Hu Qianqian thought to herself, but she showed a polite smile on the surface, clasped her fists and said, "Seniors, my master invites Taoist Li, Taoist Zhigong, Senior Bu Qiong, and Senior Quan Wen to come in."

"Yes!"

The four people who were called came out, first returned the greeting to Hu Qianqian, and then bowed towards the dojo.

When the four of them reached the steps in front of the dojo's main gate, Hu Qianqian continued, "The rest of the seniors, please come next time. Master will only meet these people today."

The remaining four realms cultivators were Ao Hong, Huai Mo, Cang Lan, Man Su, You Han, and Yun Song. They all had different expressions when they heard this. Man Su and Yun Song were not surprised and immediately said goodbye, "I'll take my leave."

Then Canglan also bowed deeply to the dojo and said goodbye.

Ao Hong was silent for a moment, as if he had figured something out, and a look of slight regret appeared on his face. He knew that Wang Ping was warning him that their cause and effect had come to an end.

Huai Mo also thought of this, but he did not feel too much. After figuring it out, he straightened his Taoist robes, raised his hands above his head, and solemnly bowed three times into the Taoist temple. Then, without saying anything, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the direction of Yuqing Sect.

You Han showed a bitter smile, but did not stay any longer, and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He knew best how terrifying the power of Xuanmen Zhenjun was.

"Hey!"

Ao Hong sighed heavily, bowed towards the dojo, and then flew away.

Hu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief after these fourth-level cultivators left. She was a little worried that these people would give her a hard time because they relied on her status as seniors in the cultivation world. But it turned out that she was overthinking it. After all, no one who could cultivate to this level was a fool, and they understood the importance of a Xuanmen Zhenjun.

"The sky has changed~"

Hu Qianqian looked up at the sky and saw Liu Shuang, Shen Xiaozhu and Rong Yang riding a auspicious cloud and landing in front of the old locust tree in the Taoist temple.

In front of the old locust tree in the dojo, Wang Ping watched Yu Lian teasing the calico cat, not paying any attention to the people who were coming. When Liu Shuang and Shen Xiaozhu brought Rong Yang to land in front of the old locust tree, Wang Ping smiled at Rong Yang and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Come and sit down."

"I dare not trouble you to say this, sir. I dare not sit down either. I came here just to ask for a glass of wine and say 'congratulations'." Rong Yang said this bluntly.

Wang Ping ordered Shen Xiaozhu, "Xiaozhu, go to the cellar and get a jar of good wine."

While the two were talking, Zhi Gong and others happened to appear at the end of the path. Wang Ping just glanced at them and then waited quietly for Xiao Zhu.

A moment later, Shen Xiaozhu appeared holding an unopened jar of yellow wine. Rong Yang took the jar and opened the seal. He said respectfully to Wang Ping, "Congratulations, you are the first True Lord of our human cultivators."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the jar in one breath, then returned the jar to Shen Xiaozhu, bowed silently to Wang Ping, and turned into a beam of fire and returned to the Zhenyang Sect's headquarters in the north.

Wang Ping just smiled. This jar of wine in public was his personal acknowledgement of Rong Yang's favor. He would definitely repay this favor when he had the ability in the future.

But his smile was short-lived. When he shifted his gaze to Zhi Gong and others, his expression became much colder again.

"Greetings to Changqing Zhenjun!"

The four of them bowed almost at the same time when Wang Ping looked at them.
