There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 929: Proud Rain Lotus

Qianmuguan.

The mountaintop temple still retains its original appearance. Now Shen Xiaozhu, the inheritor of Qianmu Temple, lives here. The originally dense mountain jungle is now undergoing large-scale construction. From the outline of the plan, it can be seen that some courtyards for practice are being built.

A small courtyard has been formed near the front hall at the foot of the mountain. Dozens of Qigong practitioners are practicing in each small courtyard. These are all disciples of Shen Xiaozhu. She really obeys Wang Ping's instructions and is determined to continue to develop Qianmu Temple.

But compared to the bustling Frost Mountain in the distance, this place seems much more deserted. However, large-scale construction is underway from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The courtyards and attics that have been built are full of practicing Qigong practitioners. There is even a magnificent palace on the top of the mountain. However, this palace is not a Taoist temple, but a place where the golden statue of Wang Ping is enshrined.

Liu Shuang's dojo is on the mountainside. Her aesthetics inherited the characteristics of wood cultivation. She built a simple bamboo courtyard. She has recently accepted some young disciples and is teaching them carefully.

Then there was Dongshui Mountain, where Zuo Liang also returned from Taiyan Sect and built a mountain gate together with Leng Kezhen, recruiting some hardworking and diligent disciples.

The three mountain gates are naturally based around Qianmu Temple. Although Liu Shuang and Zuo Liang recruited disciples independently, they did not establish separate names, but the inheritance was fixed, not as vague as when Wang Ping was there.

Then, on the north side of Qianmu Mountain, on the top of an unnamed mountain, there was a colorful and strange Taoist temple. This was naturally the masterpiece of Hu Qianqian. She usually practiced Taoism in Baishui Lake, but several of her own clansmen lived here, and they had often caused trouble with the spirit snake clan in the past.

Right now, there are two little white foxes and some spirit snakes playing in the mountain stream, and the water spirit energy they attracted forms a cold gust of wind between the mountains. The disciples who were disturbed from their practice came over to reason with them, and there was another commotion.

But suddenly, the originally proud spirit snake clan all looked up at the sky above Qianmu Mountain, then decisively dived into the nearby river, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, on the top of Qianmu Mountain, Yu Lian's ten-foot-long body appeared out of thin air, and then she said, "Zhongzhou Star is still comfortable. The air is fresh, the smell is good, and there are endless fish and shrimp to eat!"

After she said this, a cloud of auspiciousness rose around her. Her huge body rolled in the cloud and then plunged into the river under Qianmu Mountain.

Shen Xiaozhu, who was preaching to her disciples at the mountaintop temple, calmly comforted her disciples, said a few words to Yun Liang beside her, and then turned into a stream of light and came to the turbulent river. However, the calico cat sleeping on the locust tree arrived before her.

Shen Xiaozhu had to wait quietly when he saw Yu Lian catching fish and shrimp in the river. The calico cat, however, did not have so many concerns. It quickly went over to play with Yu Lian. Soon, Yu Lian's happy laughter was heard. Liu Shuang and Zuo Liang also landed beside Shen Xiaozhu after a few breaths. Zuo Liang saluted Shen Xiaozhu very respectfully, while Liu Shuang was much more casual.

After a long while, Yu Lian's big head emerged from the river. He swallowed the fish and shrimp in his mouth with a "gulp", and spat out his tongue with satisfaction. Then he heard Shen Xiaozhu and Liu Shuang clasped their fists and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Uncle Yu Lian."

Zuo Liang's movements were a beat slower, and he bowed more respectfully than Shen Xiaozhu and Liu Shuang, saying, "Greetings, Venerable Ling Yuan."

Yu Lian's title changed from the original "envoy" to the current "venerable". She was not as hypocritical as the monks. She was very happy to receive compliments from others and raised her head to accept them.

"You guys are really quick. Your master has only been gone for a short time, and you've already divided up the family?"

Her tone was casual, and it was hard to tell whether she was blaming her or just speaking casually.

As the head of the family, Shen Xiaozhu immediately explained, "In a few years, the sect competition will be held. In the past, Qianmu Temple has always been among the top in every sect competition. Now, Qianmu Temple can only send a few disciples, so we can only work hard to find ways to train some suitable disciples."

Yu Lian nodded in agreement, but then she said, "Practice is not about competing for supremacy." She then smiled and said, "Most of the Taiyan Sect members are disciples of my Qianmu Temple. If it doesn't work, lend some people over. Otherwise, it will be too embarrassing to lose. After all, you are disciples of Zhenjun."

Shen Xiaozhu and Liu Shuang, who knew Yu Lian's temper, could easily accept her contradictory words. Only Zuo Liang was a little confused, but under the gaze of the calico cat, he quickly recovered his expression to that of an obedient baby.

As Yu Lian spoke, her spiritual consciousness expanded outward, and soon she could clearly observe the entire southern cultivation world. At this moment in the southern land, a war was going on between the mortal world and the cultivation world, and the intensity of the war was unusual.

"Is Zhongzhou at war again?"

She asked.

Shen Xiaozhu replied, "It was an order from the Second Council to re-establish Zhongzhou's divine weapon. It is also to alleviate the power vacuum caused by the last arrival of the Star God. This method is very practical. War is also a kind of order to some extent."

Yu Lian did not make any comment after listening. She asked if they were affected by the arrival of the Star God. She then narrated the story of Wang Ping's battle with the Star God in outer space, describing Wang Ping as the protagonist who fought against all the Star Gods alone, weakening the existence of Lieyang and Tiangong, and directly ignoring the demon clan.

Time passed by unknowingly, and Yu Lian seemed to have completely forgotten what she came back for. The topic unconsciously turned to Taiyan Sect, and Yu Lian couldn't help but ask about Zi Luan's situation.

"No one knows where Taoist Master Ziluan is now."

Shen Xiaozhu answered this question.

Yu Lian nodded thoughtfully, "This is consistent with his character. His promotion will be helpful to your master. If you hear anything, remember to tell your master as soon as possible."

Naturally, all three of them agreed.

At this time, Yu Lian remembered what she was going to do, and asked Shen Xiaozhu: "Who is in charge of Taiyan Sect now?"

Liu Shuang responded, "It's Junior Brother Xuan Ling and Taoist Priest Que Cai."

Yu Lian said directly: "Tell them to recruit as many third-level monks who practice the Hundred Water Secrets as possible. I have great use for them. Um... give them half a year."

After saying that, she flew up and flew towards the dojo in the northwest direction. She did not hide her aura at all. Now she did not need to be so careful in this world.

When passing by Taiyan Mountain, Li Miaolin saluted Yu Lian from a distance. Quan Wen of the demon clan and some four-level star gods of the Star God Alliance also bowed carefully.

Yu Lian was very proud, her body constantly turning in the clouds, and soon she sensed the breath of Zhigong.

When Zhi Gong realized that Yu Lian was looking for him, he immediately set up a auspicious cloud and waited for her under the clouds outside his own dojo. Yunsong and Bai Wan also appeared soon after, and they looked at Yu Lian with trepidation as she got closer.

When Yu Lian appeared in their sight, the three of them immediately clasped their fists and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Venerable Ling Yuan!" Yu Lian was very satisfied with the respectful title they addressed her. However, perhaps because she had learned a little humility from following Wang Ping, she responded politely to the three Zhi Gongs who had the same cultivation as her, "Excuse me, three Taoist priests. I have a small matter to ask you."

"Please tell me, sir. If the three of us are able to do it, we will definitely not delay."

Zhigong stepped forward and made a promise on behalf of the three people.

Yu Lian thought for a moment and said, "It's like this. If we want to transform the surface ecology of Jupiter, we have to trouble..."

She was about to ask Zhigong for help, but Yunsong, who was beside Zhigong, reacted and said, "This matter is just a trivial matter for me. If you don't mind, I am willing to serve you."

Zhi Gong and Bai Wan were both stunned and turned to look at Yunsong with a speechless expression. Especially Zhi Gong, she naturally guessed what Yu Lian was going to say and was waiting for Yu Lian to finish speaking before agreeing, but she didn't expect Yunsong to beat her to it.

Yu Lian was also a little surprised. She looked at the three people in front of her with a little pride in her heart and responded, "Okay, Taoist Zhi Gong needs to take care of the internal affairs of the underground cave gate, so you can go with me."

"Yes!"

Taoist Yunsong clasped his fists in response.

Yu Lian didn't say anything else. She nodded to Zhi Gong and Bai Wan and returned towards Qianmu Temple.

Zhi Gong looked at the backs of Yu Lian and Yun Song quickly disappearing into the clouds, and couldn't help but sigh that he was too thin-skinned.

When Yu Lian brought Taoist Yunsong back to the sky above the Taoist temple on the top of Qianmu Temple, she asked Yunsong to wait for a moment and flew to Sanhe Prefecture. When she came back, there were more than ten desperate spirit snakes wrapped around her tail. Under Yunsong's gaze, she used the transfer talisman given to her by Wang Ping to open the transfer channel.

What Yu Lian didn't know was that not long after she left, all the third-level cultivators who practiced the "Hundred Water Secret Method" ran to Taiyan Sect because of her words, causing Li Miaolin to go to Linshui Mansion specifically to explain the matter. However, Ao Hong didn't intend to blame him at all, and even asked whether he should go to Jupiter in person.

Li Miaolin asked Ao Hong vigilantly why he knew they were going to Jupiter.

Ao Hong told him with a smile that Venerable Lingyuan came to the cave gate and took away Taoist Yunsong, and then Taiyan Sect recruited third-level cultivators who practiced the "Hundred Waters Secret Method". Everyone could have guessed that True Lord Changqing wanted to open up his own Taoist temple in outer space.

...

Half a year has passed by in a flash.

When Yu Lian returned to Qianmu Mountain again, she saw more than a dozen Linshui Mansion's third-level cultivators gathered in the front hall square. Leading them was Ao Hong's direct disciple Hong Ze, and even the Eighth Prince Yang Shu was among them.

Yu Lian had no interest in why they were here. She only knew that these two people could not follow him to Jupiter because Wang Ping did not want to be involved in too many causes and effects.

Thus, the lively event of half a year came to an abrupt end after Yu Lian randomly named three places.

Everyone else could only watch Yu Lian and the three people she took away disappear into the sky. No one knew what they were thinking, but they all had warm smiles on their faces.

Jupiter.

After half a year, Jiuxuan Mountain has changed a lot. The puppet debris piled up at the foot of the mountain has long been cleared away, and the redundant buildings on the mountainside have disappeared, replaced by well-arranged vegetation and rocks.

A small courtyard for resting was built on the top of the mountain. Behind the courtyard was a cave for refining elixirs and magical instruments. A warehouse for storing various materials and treasures was also set up in the cave.

There is a newly planted locust tree on the south side of the courtyard. Apart from that, there is only a simple pavilion built of giant trees and hay on the edge of the cliff on the east side. In the middle of the pavilion is a giant light green five-element stone, which was carved into a chessboard by Wang Ping himself. There is a stone bench on each side of the chessboard.

In general, Wang Ping’s current dojo is not much different from the dojo on the top of Qianmu Mountain, except that there are no spiritual trees all over the mountain, and he doesn’t need spiritual trees now.

There is a ten-zhang-wide river around Jiuxuan Mountain, which connects the snow-capped mountains tens of thousands of miles away in the north. Along the way, there are new ecological zones one after another. To achieve this, it is not enough to just open up a river. First, it is necessary to measure the altitude, and then change the horizontal line of the area tens of thousands of miles away. This is the first step.

Next are the branches of the river, which can form hundreds of ecological zones with different geological features, and they must circulate with each other, otherwise they will only be short-lived. The best way is to extract the ready-made ecology on Zhongzhou Star and cover it.

A hundred miles south of Jiuxuan Mountain, the third-level cultivators of Linshui Mansion are summoning cosmic floods to create an ocean. The ocean will be connected to the other half of the planet, and the water resource ecology will be closed with the help of the planet's gravity.

This is a huge project. Even with a third-level cultivator from Linshui Prefecture, it would take at least sixty years to complete. However, with the help of the spirit snake clan, half the time can be saved. And with the help of Yu Lian, a fourth-level spirit snake, it will most likely be done within twenty years.

This amount of time is insignificant to Wang Ping. All he needs to do is a simple blessing from the Wood Spirit. With this blessing, these cultivators will avoid many detours in the future. For example, when they encounter danger, if they show the Wood Spirit's blessing, their enemies will not embarrass them as long as they are smart. Of course, this can be used a certain number of times.

Yunsong is currently busy in outer space setting up a new gravity system for Jupiter to suit the current development of the planet's ecological zones. Wang Ping's promise to him is to help him clean out the impurities of the earth spirit in his body. This was originally intended for Zhigong, but unfortunately Zhigong was not experienced enough and did not get this opportunity.

As the host, Wang Ping was also not idle. He set up different wood spirit arrays all over the planet to prevent the abundant wood spirit energy from destroying the ecological zone that was created with great difficulty.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed. Taoist Yunsong had finished the work at hand and was sent back by Yu Lian. The ocean created by the monks of Linshui Mansion had just taken shape.

Wang Ping, who had nothing to do, began to think about his next plan. The first thing must be to deduce a new secret method of cultivation as soon as possible, and then to consider the conflict with the Star God Alliance. It seems that the True Lords want to leave this matter to him.

Wang Ping wanted to develop the ecological zone in outer space to increase the cohesion of the entire Xuanmen and Tianmen, and use these people as pawns to test the Star God Alliance first, rather than relying on himself to break in alone.

To achieve this, they had to first complete the fourth-level cultivators of the Taiyan Sect, and then the fourth-level cultivators of the other Xuanmen and Tianmen sects, using them as pawns to seek the Star God Alliance.

All of these things take time without exception, so Wang Ping is not in a hurry. He just needs to wait quietly for the ecology of Jupiter to be completed. While he was waiting for the planet's ecology to take shape, True Lord Yuanwu sent a message asking other True Lords if they had time to open up a passage to the outside world.
