There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Human consciousness is very rich, among which emotional consciousness is the richest. Wang Ping also cultivated from an ordinary person to the fifth realm. His deep human nature naturally desires more emotions.

However, there are only a handful of people in this world who can make his emotions fluctuate. Yu Lian is of course one of them, and then there is Liu Shuang, whom he personally taught and watched grow up. As Shen Xiaozhu is his direct disciple, he has more expectations for her.

At first, Wang Ping just thought that Hu Qianqian was suitable for Taoist practice and was also a demon, which made him curious, so he accepted her as a registered disciple.

Xia Wenyi was a person of courtesy, but after all, he called him Master, so Wang Ping naturally had to take care of him.

Xuan Ling and Xia Wenyi are in a similar situation.

As for many other disciples, they drifted away from him for various reasons. This was their choice and also the result of Wang Ping's negligence in discipline. Although he did not say it on the surface, he still felt regretful in his heart. As the saying goes, they called him Master after all, and this feeling can only be experienced by those who have experienced it.

Wang Ping asked his disciples to sit down and personally made tea for them. Yu Lian came over with her calico cat Teng Yun and occasionally said a few words. The sense of alienation soon disappeared for the most part, but the gap between them as master and disciple was too huge. Even though Wang Ping had a warm smile on his face, his disciples still felt under tremendous pressure.

During the chat, the topic gradually turned to the battle on the outer border. Wang Ping took the opportunity to mention the relocation of the Taiyan Sect headquarters and the establishment of ecological zones in outer space.

The disciples were all smart people and they immediately understood that their master wanted them to go to outer space to open up ecological zones. They also understood that with their master's current status, he would definitely give them the best resources and positions.

"Master, do you want to move the inheritance of Qianmu Temple to the vicinity of Jupiter?" Shen Xiaozhu asked in a very soft voice.

"The inheritance of Qianmu Temple is in your hands now. You can make your own decision on this matter. I am just making a suggestion. Zhongzhou has its advantages, and outer space has its advantages. No one can tell which is more important in the future."

Wang Ping spoke softly, with a gentle expression like an elder.

Shen Xiaozhu knew her master very well and knew that these words were not just polite words, but really let her make her own choice, so she bowed solemnly and said: "Qianmu Temple is a small sect, and the cause and effect are not big. It is more appropriate to stay in Zhongzhou. If another disciple is promoted to the fourth realm, perhaps we can consider developing into outer space."

Yu Lian couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever considered advancing to the fourth realm?"

Shen Xiaozhu was silent. She was struggling in her heart. After more than ten breaths, she looked at Yu Lian and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Master. I know my qualifications. I am afraid that it is hopeless to advance to the fourth level. I don't want to waste time and resources in vain."

Yu Lian really wanted to say "your master can help you", but the words did not come out of her mouth. When it comes to cultivation, one has to rely on oneself at most. If one cannot defeat the demons in his heart, he will be powerless when he suddenly attacks at the critical moment of promotion.

"There is still a long time, you can take your time to think about it." Yu Lian instructed.

"Yeah!" Shen Xiaozhu nodded.

Wang Ping was also sighing secretly. Shen Xiaozhu was excellent in all aspects, but she always had a sense of inferiority in her heart. Whenever Xia Wenyi and Xuan Ling showed amazing talents, her inferiority complex would expand.

This is a mental illness, which is a demon in the heart for practitioners. If it cannot be overcome, then Shen Xiaozhu will have no hope of being promoted to the fourth level in the future. Even if Wang Ping helps her, her chances are very slim.

Wang Ping still maintained a warm smile and said to Shen Xiaozhu: "Yu Lian is right, don't think about it for now, you still have a lot of time to think about this issue."

As he spoke, he recalled the first time he met Shen Xiaozhu, and the strong and stubborn aura that the other person exuded.

The topic with Shen Xiaozhu ended here. Wang Ping knew that this disciple was sometimes very sensitive, so he turned his attention to Xia Wenyi.

"Master, I have found what I need to do. I feel that some things are more important than advancing to the fourth level!" Xia Wenyi stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, then lowered his head to respond to Wang Ping's gaze.

"It's great to find something worth doing. You don't have to act like you've done anything wrong." Wang Ping's expression did not fluctuate much, and he extended his hand to invite Xia Wenyi to sit down and talk.

Xia Wenyi was still nervous. He only mustered up the courage to say these words after Shen Xiaozhu expressed his thoughts first. He knew very well that he could do whatever he wanted in Dongzhou, but it was only because he had a good master. Even the fifth-level cultivators of the Star God Alliance had to give him some face.

"You really don't need to be so nervous. You have done a good job in Dongzhou. You have cared for the people and encouraged the royal family and officials. You have helped to sort out the chaotic spirituality in Dongzhou. This is a great achievement. At the same time, you have also preached the teachings of our Taiyan Daoist tradition. You are much better than those mediocre people."

Wang Ping gave a brief evaluation of Xia Wenyi.

Xia Wenyi didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only bow and say: "Disciple is terrified..."

Yu Lian interrupted, "Just listen to what your master says. There is only master and disciple here, no other identities."

After she said this, she looked at Yuanyuan, whose little head was sticking out from Xia Wenyi's sleeve, and motioned Yuanyuan to come out, but Yuanyuan remained indifferent.

Xia Wenyi was choked and could only stand where he was. Liu Shuang stood up and led him to sit on the nearest stone bench, which made him feel anxious and worried.

Wang Ping stopped paying attention to Xia Wenyi, lest he notice anything wrong. When his eyes fell on Xuan Ling, Xuan Ling immediately stood up, knelt down and bowed, saying loudly: "Teacher, please help me!"

Wang Ping had complicated feelings towards his disciple Xuan Ling, especially after he learned about Yao Xi's deeds. Although he knew that Xuan Ling had no connection with Yao Xi, and from the perspective of the rules of heaven, it was already a completely new consciousness, he still had some thoughts in his mind.

This is one of the manifestations of the complexity of human emotions. Unless one enters a state of "self-denial" and maintains absolute rationality, it is impossible to eliminate this complex emotion.

“Promotion means more important responsibilities. The future will be a world of great contention. You may not have peace for thousands of years.” Wang Ping warned softly.

"Disciple is ready!"

Xuan Ling was still kneeling on the ground.

Xia Wenyi looked at Xuan Ling with a complicated expression, recalling the open and secret struggles between them in the past.

Liu Shuang, Shen Xiaozhu and Hu Qianqian were not familiar with Xuan Ling. They only knew that this junior brother was devoted to cultivation and later was always busy with the internal affairs of Taiyan Sect, so they rarely communicated with each other.

"You have been very attentive in handling the affairs of Taiyan Sect over the years. Now that Taiyan Sect is in need of people, the relocation of the headquarters will be handed over to you. Once it is done, you will definitely have a seat in the Four Territories."

Wang Ping made a promise.

"Thank you, Teacher. I will definitely take care of this matter!"

Xuan Ling's tone was cautious and firm.

Wang Ping said "hmm", and a puppet landed from the sky and stood beside him. He pointed at the puppet and said, "This puppet will take you to the new base of Taiyan Sect. There is a special transfer channel there that can go back and forth to the base of Taiyan Sect in Zhongzhou. You follow him."

"Yes!"

Xuan Ling did not hesitate at all. Everything that happened just now seemed to be a favor that Xuan Ling had asked for, but in fact it was Wang Ping's original plan. The current Taiyan Sect was really short of manpower as he said.

After Xuan Ling's figure disappeared into the sky, Wang Ping set his eyes on Hu Qianqian.

The little fox's furry ears tilted back and its tail swung back and forth. Before Wang Ping could speak, she clasped her fists and said, "If Master agrees, I would like to migrate to this starry sky with my people."

The last time Lord Lieyang released a divine fire on Zhongzhou Star, her people suffered heavy losses, and she is still heartbroken about it.

Wang Ping did not refuse. Every time he saw this demon disciple, he would feel better. This might be because she had a Taoist charm that was in harmony with the natural atmosphere. This was a kind of practice that was difficult to explain.

"There are many asteroids around Jupiter. You can find any place to settle down except the base of Taiyan Sect." Wang Ping smiled. His mood was different when facing the request of his apprentice and the request of outsiders.

After saying that, he also summoned a puppet and asked the puppet to take Hu Qianqian to find a suitable asteroid.

Now only Liu Shuang had not expressed her opinion. When Wang Ping looked at her, she smiled and said, "Master, Zhongzhou is big enough for me. I'd better stay in Zhongzhou. Rong'er likes to run around everywhere. If she can do something useful this time, you can draw a place for her and let her do it herself."

Wang Ping nodded. "Rong'er is right beside me. I will naturally take care of her. I watched her grow up."

Yu Lian then added: "When you have nothing to do, you can come here to see your master. If you have any questions about your practice, you can always come and ask."

After she said this, she looked at Wang Ping and gestured to him.

Wang Ping immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed at random in the air. Three transfer talismans appeared in his hand. He handed the three transfer talismans to Liu Shuang, Shen Xiaozhu and Xia Wenyi respectively, and said: "There is a transfer channel I built above Qianmu Temple. If you want to come here, you can communicate with your uncle Yu Lian in advance, and she will guide you to transfer here."

"Thank you, Master!"

The three of them thanked him at the same time.

The rest of the time was spent chatting. Half an hour later, Hu Qianqian returned from outer space. She chose the smallest planet, while Xuan Ling was transferred back to Zhongzhou Star through the transfer array of the new Taiyan Sect base.

When the master and his disciples ran out of topics to chat about, Yu Lian took Liu Shuang and the others to travel to some places on Jupiter that she liked, and stayed there for half a month before sending them back.

...

Without his disciples making noise around him, Wang Ping felt an unprecedented sense of emptiness. However, as time went by and he was so focused on his practice, he easily adjusted himself to the new state.

half year later.

Zhu Wu, Zang Yi and five others came to see Wang Ping again. This time they brought the 100 places that Wang Ping had requested, and also brought detailed files of each person in the place, including the time when they started practicing and what they did during the practice.

The ecological zone of these one hundred people will be divided near the meteorite belt outside Zhongzhou Star. Their responsibility is to collect resources from the meteorite belt, and they can also profit from it. It is a relatively win-win situation.

After Wang Ping looked at the list, he returned it to Zhu Wu, Zang Yi and the other five, and instructed: "The starry sky on both sides of the meteorite belt outside Zhongzhou Star is enough to be divided into tens of thousands of regions. My plan is to turn all these areas into ecological zones, so what we have to do has just begun."

Zhu Wu, Zang Yi and the other five had different expressions when they heard this, but they were all deeply surprised. The area around the meteorite belt outside Zhongzhou Star could be divided into hundreds of thousands of ecological zones, let alone tens of thousands of ecological zones. But if they were all to be built into ecological zones, what would the scene be like?
Even the five of them dared not imagine this question, let alone what the Changqing Zhenjun in front of them was going to do? Such a plan could not only be achieved in the Millennium War on the border outside the domain.

Wang Ping's words are somewhat exaggerated, but they are just giving hope to those who come after him.

After seeing Zhu Wu and the others off, Wang Ping next wanted to meet Taoist Miao Qing who was already waiting for his summons at the Demon Star Moon Station. After meeting her, he would take charge of the four realms quota of the Underground Cave Gate and the Zhenyang Sect that he controlled, and then he would practice in seclusion and wait for the chess game he had set up to slowly bear fruit.

He knew better than anyone that when the universe became lively, conflicts would inevitably arise among the True Lords due to excessive contact, and then he would need the strength to continue playing chess.

"How long can the scorching sun support us?" he whispered softly.

"At least we have to wait until Xuanqing's condition stabilizes!" Yu Lian answered him.

Wang Ping nodded and raised his eyelids slightly. On the platform of the lowest deck of the flying boat, Taoist Miaoqing appeared at some point. She lowered her head respectfully, not daring to disturb Wang Ping's thoughts.

Yu Lian also followed Wang Ping's gaze and then said in her spiritual sea: "Her soul is in a very stable state, and her consciousness is also stabilizing. She is the best fourth-level Taiyan cultivator I have ever seen except you."

Wang Ping was also quite satisfied with Taoist Miao Qing. He judged a cultivator by the way he practiced. If the way was righteous, the person would definitely be righteous as well. Then, the "Heavenly Eye" between his brows opened silently, reflecting the figure of Taoist Miao Qing.

After a few breaths.

Wang Ping saw some familiar scenes, similar to the cultivation routes of Kaiyun and others, but there were many accidents in Taoist Miaoqing's promotion to the fourth level. She was originally selected for trial and error, but she firmly believed that she could be promoted successfully.

However, her success was not congratulated by her fellow disciples, and Huishan Zhenjun did not express much appreciation either. Moreover, she was the one who had to deal with every troublesome matter, but she was not defeated by this.

She is as determined now as she was before, as if nothing can knock her down.

"You have done a good job on the front line these years. I have heard the three True Lords of the Demon Clan mention your contributions many times. Tell me, what do you want?"

Wang Ping's expression was gentle, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Taoist Miao Qing still lowered his head, cupped his hands and said: "I dare not boast of my achievements, I have only done my duty."

"What is on your mind?"

Wang Ping asked.

Yu Lian added: "Answer whatever I ask you!"

"Yes!"

Taoist Miao Qing swallowed the polite words that were about to come out of his mouth, and said with a folded hand: "I have been practicing Taoism for more than 7,000 years. In addition to the Taiyan Talisman, I have also learned other miscellaneous knowledge. My greatest wish is to compile these miscellaneous knowledge into a new secret method and pass it down to the Taoist tradition."

Wang Ping smiled and nodded, "Well, OK, then I will grant you a piece of starry sky as your mountain gate and pass on your Taoist lineage, how about that?" (End of this chapter)
