My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 172 Become famous in one battle

When the cultivators go out, most of them are cautious in what they say and do, especially those independent cultivators without any background, who rarely stand out. The experienced and shrewd cultivators will retreat behind the crowd when facing danger. When taking action, if they are not absolutely sure, it is definitely best to run away.

But Zhou Ping is different.

Although he has no background, he has the support of Xiaoding, a treasure from ancient times on Earth. When a crisis comes, Xiaoding can possess him at any time, and even an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage can't do anything about it.

not to mention.

Now he has even practiced the "Star Hiding Technique". Once he conceals his aura, even the big shots in the Soul Realm will not be able to detect it.

Many trump cards to protect yourself.

Naturally, he was not afraid of anyone, but the reason why he chose to fight head-on at this time was not because Zhou Ping did not understand the principle of keeping a low profile, but because he needed to be high-profile and show his powerful strength in front of many cultivators.

One is to deter others, and the other is to make Huangling Mountain famous.

Become famous.

It can continuously attract practitioners to join in and continue to expand its territory.

This is the most important.

He was able to cultivate to the ultimate stage of foundation building within a few years, relying entirely on the various enhancements brought by the national destiny virtual frame, so the more national destiny points he had, the more confident he would be.

Lexiang Pavilion.

In the lobby on the first floor.

Hundreds of Qi-cultivating and foundation-building cultivators all felt a powerful aura of oppression. Although Zhou Ping did not reveal all of his magical power, just a part of it made these people extremely uncomfortable. The pressure was even greater than facing a Jindan Zhenren.

In fact, Zhou Ping did not want to use his magical aura to scare away the old man with withered bones, but there was no way. His magical power was too strong. Although it had not yet been condensed to the level of golden elixir, if only a part of it was leaked, it would be more than two or three million.

And normal situation.

The magic power of an ordinary Jindan in the early stage is only over one million.

now.

The young man in a brocade robe standing more than 20 meters to Zhou Ping's right had an ugly expression on his face, and a trace of regret welled up in his heart. He was indeed being driven, but not by the old man with dried bones, but by other Jindan Zhenren. That was why he stood up and wanted to test it.

Unexpectedly, this young man who had built his foundation excessively actually had such powerful magic power.

But it was too late to back off now.

Moreover.

There is a Jindan Zhenren watching on the second floor.

If he backs down, it will be all in vain.

Think of this.

The young man in brocade robes resisted the pressure of the magical aura and said with gritted teeth, "This is Lexiang Pavilion. Can't we say a few words?"

Zhou Ping snorted, "You can talk, but don't talk nonsense. Hand over 50 spirit stones, and I will not pursue this matter any further."

"What? 50 spirit stones?"

"You, you have such a big mouth!"

The young man in the brocade robe flushed red. He was just a casual cultivator who was just building his foundation, and all his belongings combined were not as much as this.

Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure you don't want to hand it over?"

The voice fell.

All the monks present felt the heavy pressure and arrogance.

Just by saying a few words to the female cultivator next to him, he demanded 50 spirit stones as compensation. Nothing could be more arrogant than this, but no one dared to say anything. The powerful aura made everyone present understand that the cultivator in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.

Private room on the second floor.

Several Jindan Zhenren were communicating with each other.

"The man downstairs must be the one who killed the Five Demons of Huangling and occupied Huangling Mountain!"

"Yes, it's him. I didn't expect him to act so arrogantly. Humph, I think he will die sooner or later. The two demon cultivators who escaped from Huangling Mountain will definitely not let us go."

"Of course. Didn't you see that the old man with dry bones is here?"

"What kind of cultivation technique is this guy practicing? His mana is even stronger than ours. If it weren't for the lack of purity of his mana, I would even suspect that he is already an old fellow in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm!"

"Haha, no matter what he is practicing, this is Lexiang Pavilion. I want to see if he dares to take action."

The young man in brocade robe was in a dilemma.

Just at the moment when Zhou Ping's energy surged.

A voice rang out, "Master Zhou, please don't be angry. This is just a small matter. Please give me some face, okay?"

Wow.

The next moment, an old man in a loose white robe appeared.

Zhou Ping glanced at him and said, "Who are you? Why should I give you face?"

All the monks were stunned.

They didn't expect that Lord Zhou would not even give face to the head of Lexiang Pavilion.

Gu Yunru beside him hurriedly sent a message and told the identity of the visitor.

"Oh, so you're the head of Lexiang Pavilion."

Zhou Ping sat down on his own, then picked up the wine glass. Just as he took a sip, Gu Yunru beside him bit her red lips and said, "Senior, let me pour you some wine."

She was willing to give it her all. After all, no matter what, Zhou Ping stood up for her today. In the eyes of outsiders, she was Zhou Ping's person from now on. Unless Zhou Ping died, no one would dare to attack her.

The old man in white robes walked up to Zhou Ping with a gentle smile and said, "Master Zhou, I think this is just a misunderstanding. Musician Yunru is from our Lexiang Pavilion, so we can't just slander anyone. How about this: the person who started the slander will pay 10 spirit stones, and Lexiang Pavilion will cover the rest."

These words stunned all the monks around.

The head of Lexiang Pavilion is a Jindan Zhenren. Instead of asking Master Zhou to give up his plan to ask for spirit stones, he took the initiative to give spirit stones as compensation, which surprised many cultivators.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ping didn't give Pavilion Master Le Xiang any face at all, and said indifferently, "Why, from what you said, Pavilion Master, do you want to help this person out, or are you the golden elixir behind him?"

Hear the words.

Pavilion Master Le Xiang frowned. He really didn't expect that Master Zhou would not give him face. Although the other party was indeed very strong, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage after all. His attitude was so gentle. Anyone else would have backed down.

"What does Master Zhou mean?"

he asked.

Zhou Ping took another sip of his wine. "I don't mean anything else. I just want to know who asked him to slander Yunru, the musician next to me."

The young man in brocade robes hurriedly said, "No one, I just said it rashly in the moment."

Zhou Ping laughed heartily. "You know the truth that words can cause trouble, don't you? Since you've spoken, you must pay the price. 50 spirit stones, not a single one less."

Lingshi is a national fortune point for him.

50 is equivalent to 3 million national destiny points, which can allow one to practice the Emperor's talent for several months.

The young man in the brocade robe turned red as his face turned the color of liver. He said angrily, "I just said it casually. Even if it's slander, so what? I will pay compensation, but you're asking for too much. I absolutely can't give it to you!"

After all, he was at the late stage of foundation building, and he had already surrendered before, but the other party was unreasonable and even a clay man could not help but get angry.

Boom. Just as the young man in the brocade robe finished speaking,

Zhou Ping took action.

With the huge magic power in operation, the Zixiao sword slashed forward with a flash of purple light in an instant. This sword-controlling technique, coupled with the suppression of spiritual consciousness, the young man in the brocade robe had just time to react before his body's defense was directly pierced by the purple light.

When the purple light dissipated and disappeared in front of Zhou Ping again, all the Qi-cultivating and foundation-building cultivators present had not yet come to their senses.

pat.

However, a blood mark appeared on the forehead of the young man in the brocade robe, and then a bloody smell escaped and he fell heavily to the ground.

Everyone's eyes widened.

The entire first floor hall was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

No one expected that Zhou Ping would dare to take action, and dare to take action on the territory of Lexiang Pavilion, but what all the cultivators did not expect was that he killed a late Foundation Establishment cultivator with just one strike, which even a Golden Core cultivator could not do.

The pupils of Zhu Zhenren, Yue Zhenren and the old man Ku Gu who were in the elegant room on the second floor suddenly shrank. As Jindan Zhenren, they did see Zhou Ping's actions clearly, but it was precisely because they saw it clearly that they felt it was incredible.

Because the aura that erupted at the moment of attack was extremely powerful, so powerful that they couldn't believe that a person who had just established his foundation could have such magical power!

Simply incredible.

The old man with dry bones took a deep breath. The young man was not ordered by him, but he came here today with the intention of testing him. But now it seems that the man who occupied Huangling Mountain was too terrifying. It was already very lucky that two of the Seven Demons of Huangling were able to escape.

Moreover, when they attacked just now, the opponent did not use that terrifying fire method.

Pavilion Master Le Xiang was the first to come to his senses. His face was gloomy. Zhou Ping's attack here was breaking the rules he had set. "What does this mean, Master Zhou?"

Zhou Ping stood up and walked directly to the young man in brocade clothes. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he counted all the things on him. "Magic tools, elixirs, talismans, materials... it's true that I'm a bit poor. The total value is only 12 spirit stones. Master Lexiang Pavilion, you just said that your Lexiang Pavilion is willing to give the rest. Well, there are 38 spirit stones left."

Wow.

This statement came out.

All the monks were suddenly in an uproar.

I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen anyone so arrogant.

In Zhou Ping's sea of ​​consciousness, Xiao Ding laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, you're becoming more and more to my taste. As a cultivator, this is how you should be. Be unrestrained and do what you want. Don't worry, my dear boy. I've got your back."

The minerals and magic weapons he got from the treasure houses of major forces such as Mohu and Yaojiao during his last trip to Chi Ming Mountain helped Xiao Ding regain some of his strength. He now has more means at his disposal, and killing a true Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is no problem at all.

Zhou Ping secretly rolled his eyes. He was not a reckless and impulsive person, but he had no choice. The pressure from the Xinghe Sect was like a sword hanging over his head. He had to improve his strength as soon as possible, and get more national destiny points as soon as possible.

Then you will be able to face various situations with ease.

The gains from occupying Huangling Mountain have transformed him completely. He has gained the innate Taoist body and the Star Hiding Technique, both of which require huge amounts of national destiny points to support him.

So now we have to open up the situation faster.

Since this young man in brocade robe has jumped out, he might as well kill him to scare the monkeys.

"you……"

The head of Le Xiang Pavilion stared at Zhou Ping. He wanted to get angry, but when he thought of the thrilling killing method just now, he swallowed his words back.

Especially when he saw the intention to attack from the other party's eyes, he dared not act rashly. If the other party attacked, would he be able to stop him?
As a Jindan Zhenren.

The first time he faced a foundation-building cultivator, he was scared.

"it is good."

"We at Lexiang Pavilion keep our word. Here are the remaining 38 spirit stones. Please count them, Master Zhou!"

The head of Lexiang Pavilion waved his sleeves.

A storage bag flew out.

Zhou Ping swept his spiritual sense across and laughed, "Le Xiang Pavilion Master is straightforward. This matter ends here. Let's continue playing music and dancing."

He smiled.

The heavy atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly relaxed.

However, none of the cultivators present were in the mood to listen to the music. However, just as they were about to leave, the Pavilion Master of Lexiang said, "I am sorry to have disturbed your leisure today. I will personally invite the Fairy Xiangqin to play another piece for you."

Hear this.

The eyes of those monks lit up. Although they were afraid that Zhou Ping beside them would go crazy, they still stayed when they thought of Fairy Xiangqin.

The head of Lexiang Pavilion looked at Zhou Ping and said, "Master Zhou is too high a status to sit in the first floor hall. Why don't you go sit in the private room? You will have a better listening experience there."

This Pavilion Master is quite flexible.

It was as if what he had just taken out was not a spirit stone.

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Thank you."

He is not a madman. Since the other party has given in so much, it is not a good idea for him to keep pressing on. That would make him seem too arrogant.

He then took Gu Yunru to the private room on the second floor.

Enter the private room.

Everything around became quiet.

At this moment, Gu Yunru felt like she was floating, her pretty face showing the afterglow of excitement and a bit of fear. Just now, she was really worried that Zhou Ping would fight with the Pavilion Master, but she didn't expect that the Pavilion Master would actually give in, obviously he was afraid.

And looking at the handsome man beside him.

A surge of emotion surged in her heart, and she wanted to stick to the other person's arms. It was too strong. Such a man would naturally give women a sense of security.

Sitting on a soft seat made of animal skin.

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yunru, I hope I won't cause you any trouble today."

He originally wanted to relax today, but ended up getting some unexpected gains, which was not bad. Moreover, the anxiety he had felt from the long-term seclusion had actually dissipated a lot through the action just now, which made him feel relaxed.

Gu Yunru hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Senior. From today onwards, not only will I not be ostracized by the Pavilion Master or anyone else, but my status will rapidly improve. Even Elder Hong might pay attention to me. And all of this is thanks to you, Senior."

"Slave, slave..."

She bit her red lips, her face shy, like a flower bud waiting to bloom. "I would like to serve you in the future. What do you think, Senior?"

Zhou Ping shook his head. "Your cultivation is too low. You should focus on cultivation at this stage."

Gu Yunru's face turned pale immediately, "Senior, is it because I did something wrong?"

"No."

"Don't think too much."

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Everything in this world is reserved for those who have the opportunity to prepare. You have both the determination and the courage, which is not a bad thing. What I just said is the truth. Your cultivation is indeed too low."

Even if you take her as a concubine in the later stage of Qi training, you won’t get many national fortune points.

Although he does lack a female companion at this stage to help him solve his problems, even if he wants to find one, he will not look for one who practices Qigong.

Hear this.

Gu Yunru's complexion recovered a little, but she could not hide her disappointment. However, she secretly clenched her pink fists and said that she must break through to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible. Only then might she be able to accompany the senior, even as a maid.
