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

Chapter 180 Land of Opportunity
The superior spiritual vein cave residence of Black Crow Lake is located on the central island of the lake. There are ten islands with ten spiritual vein cave residences distributed here. Usually, those who live here are elders above the late foundation building stage and two Jindan real people.

But now, except for Zhou Ping, none of the late foundation-building cultivators from Black Crow Lake dared to come and live here.

The small island in the center of the lake has beautiful scenery, and the cave is located on a high place. When you walk out of the cave, you can see the entire Black Crow Lake at a glance.

Looking at the sparkling lake, you can see some colorful fish jumping out of the water from time to time. Under the golden sunlight, the fish scales sparkle, and ripples are left on the lake surface.

Such beautiful scenery is truly refreshing.

Zhou Ping was dressed in a white robe with a light purple gauze dress on the outside, a hair crown on his head, his face was as white as jade, and his brows were filled with a resolute heroic spirit. Compared to his past self who was in his thirties and had been on blind dates and gained weight, he was now full of confidence and masculinity.

At this moment, he had no idea what was happening on Earth. Standing high on the island, he put his hands behind his back, letting the warm breeze blowing from the rippling lake water blow on his face. After three months of seclusion, his originally short hair had grown into long and flowing hair.

The whole person looks as handsome as jade, just like a handsome young man in ancient times.

Especially the powerful aura emanating from his body would make female cultivators admire him involuntarily, and even fall in love with him.

Xue Di'er walked over and looked at Zhou Ping's graceful back. A smile appeared on her red lips. As a demon cultivator, she had seen too many handsome men, some of whom were even more graceful and ethereal. However, they were far inferior to the new owner of Black Crow Lake in front of her.

A person looks at more than just appearance.

Regardless of gender, there is never a shortage of good-looking monks in the world of cultivation.

Therefore the inner is more attractive.

Some recent actions of Huangling Mountain and Black Crow Lake made her realize that the master of Huangling Mountain was completely different from those hypocritical hypocrites and vicious demon cubs in Chixia Mountain Range. He really cared about the low-level cultivators.

And most importantly, there is no thought of good or evil.

"Meet the Mountain Master, congratulations on coming out of seclusion."

She stepped forward and saluted.

Zhou Ping didn't turn around. He continued to admire the scenery of Black Crow Lake and said softly, "In a while, I will travel to the Chixia Mountains, Huangling Mountains, and Black Crow Lake. You may not be the strongest, but you are the smartest. So, you should help Deacon Wang and Luo Hong with matters. If you do well, I will accept you as my disciple when I return."

Xue Di'er was not excited or happy. If Zhou Ping had killed the two real people, she would be happy to hear this and feel that she had a new backer. But now, she did not want to be Zhou Ping's disciple, but wanted to be the beauty by his side, but she did not dare to say such words.

"Mountain Master, Di'er will take good care of both places."

Zhou Ping nodded, waved his sleeves, and bestowed a few talismans on Xue Di'er. These talismans were all top-grade third-level talismans, which could kill Jindan Zhenren if used well. Ever since he entered the spaceship in Beiyuan City, he had exchanged for third-level talismans, formations, puppets and other methods. Relying on the national fortune points, he naturally and easily upgraded to the third-level perfection.

Therefore, in addition to his own powerful strength, he is also far ahead in terms of skills. His talismans, puppets, formations, and alchemy have all reached the third level of perfection.

"Tomorrow you will move to the superior cave to practice."

"The rest of the foundation-building cultivators can apply as long as their contributions are sufficient."

Speaking of which.

He turned around and his eyes fell on the charming Xue Di'er. He had seen the women Jing'an had thought about before, and all of them had practiced the art of charm and illusion, but this Xue Di'er was worthy of being a woman with a special physique. She was born with a charming figure, and her every frown and smile was captivating. He had heard that many foundation-building cultivators in Black Crow Lake had feelings for this Xue Di'er.

Therefore.

When she had just killed the two Jindan, the other party was the first to surrender. The main reason was that she was worried that without the two Jindan old demons to suppress her, the other foundation-building powerhouses would attack her.

"The ice is thick as ice, and it wasn't formed overnight. Black Crow Lake used to be a demonic force, and the disciples within its jurisdiction were accustomed to fighting and deceiving each other. They would risk everything for a few resources. This is understandable in the cultivation world. After all, they are fighting against others and the heavens."

Zhou Ping said seriously, "But now that I've taken over, some things and some rules must be changed. Fighting is fine, even killing is fine, but it must be done openly. I will set up an arena specifically for settling grudges. Therefore, privately, fellow disciples are absolutely not allowed to harm each other's lives. Once discovered, they will be severely punished!"

"You have to keep this in mind."

Speaking of which.

He paused and continued, "I know those Foundation Establishment cultivators are usually cold and indifferent, only caring about themselves. I don't ask them to change that, but there is one thing: they cannot wantonly oppress the Qi Cultivation disciples."

"Whether my rules can be enforced depends on you."

Xue Di'er's charming face was full of solemnity, "Yes, Mountain Master!"

Finished the order.

He let Xuedi'er leave.

Look at her enchanting back and her round and tight hips.

He shook his head slightly.

In order for the New Han Kingdom to develop long-term and continuously obtain national fortune points, some bad rules must be eliminated early on. Otherwise, as long as there is a trace of tolerance, they will continue to grow and develop, and eventually become irreversible.

The small tripod in the sea of ​​consciousness spoke, "Zhou Ping, cultivators are inherently competitive. The people of Black Crow Lake are all demonic cultivators. They've long been accustomed to the plundering and plundering of the demonic path. If you ask them to change, I'm afraid you'll kill them. Even if these guys don't dare to act on their own, they will pretend to obey but secretly disobey. You can't watch them all the time."

Zhou Ping nodded, "I know, but once the rules are set, we can follow them. As for execution, we can take our time."

A few days later.

Having made good preparations, he left Black Crow Lake, but he did not rush to Xiayin Jedi. Instead, he came to Lexiang Pavilion first.

The moment Gu Yunru saw Zhou Ping, her eyes were filled with joy.

She trotted over and wanted to throw herself into Zhou Ping's arms, but stopped herself. "Master Zhou, I thought you wouldn't come to me anymore after you became a Golden Core."

There was a hint of coquettishness in Gu Yunru's voice.

In the past, Zhou Ping was in the late stage of foundation building. Although he was very strong, he was only foundation building after all. Now he has become a golden elixir, and a golden elixir that can easily kill True Man Black Crow. The difference in their identities and status is too great.

For him, I can only look up to him.

I didn't expect that he still hadn't changed.

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Jindan is also a human being and needs to listen to music. I have come here with great difficulty today, so I must listen to your music carefully."

Gu Yunru said coquettishly, "Then I will definitely serve you well."

not far away.

Inside the quiet room, the head of Lexiang Pavilion looked towards Gu Yunru's room and couldn't help but think, "This Huangling Mountain Master really enjoys listening to music! This is a good opportunity! I must have a good talk with Fairy Xiangqin and ask her to be more humble. If she can serve Mountain Master Zhou well, Lexiang Pavilion's position in Chiyunfang will be even more secure..."

But when he thought of Fairy Xiangqin, he suddenly felt a headache. This fairy never showed any kindness to others.

……

Ten days later.

We have arrived at Xiayin Swamp.

This place is not far from Xiayin Jedi, so the entrance of the swamp naturally gathers many monks who plan to go to the edge of the Jedi to seek opportunities. Over time, a market town has been formed. This is also what makes Xiayin Jedi different from Chihuo Jedi.

at this time.

Zhou Ping, dressed in a green shirt, dressed like a scholar, holding a jade fan, entered the inn in the Xiayin Swamp Market. He had two purposes for coming here.

The first was to visit a large spiritual stone mine near Jiaolong Valley, and the second was to hone himself and accumulate experience, and by the way, to see if there were any good things in Xiayin Jedi.

Huhu.

It is now the cold winter season in Xiayin Jedi.

The snow was falling and the ice was freezing to the bone.

Apart from the market town, the surrounding mountains and land were all covered in white snow, with no birds flying, but this inn was as warm as spring, and there was a bathhouse behind the inn specifically for monks.

"Tsk tsk, the bathhouse in Xiayin Land is well-known. It is said that the women who scrub the baths there are all as beautiful as fairies. As long as you spend a few more spirit stones, you can enjoy different treatment."

"Come on, those female cultivators are all sucking the marrow out of bones. Fellow Daoists, please take good care of your spirit stones. Remember, the bathhouse is a place where bones are scraped with a steel knife!"

Monks from all over the world gathered together.

Chat with each other about everything.

When talking about the bathhouse at the back, it immediately caused heated discussion.

For a moment, the whole inn was extremely lively.

Zhou Ping sat by the window, listening to these sounds, and couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that in this place of monks, there would be the same things as the foot washing technicians on Earth.

night.

He was resting in the inn, and his spiritual sense could sense that there was looting happening in the market town. Such things were very common among cultivators, let alone in the Xiayin Swamp where there were no restrictions at all.

And the next few days.

Every day in the inn, he listened to the discussions of those who had been to the edge of the Xiayin Jedi. At the same time, he also met the cultivators from various forces in the Chixia Mountains, and gained a better understanding of different skills and methods.

"Recently, many Jindan seniors have come to Xiayin Jedi. Even Chiming Mountain, Demon Lake, and Jiaolong Valley have sent strong men here. I don't know what happened?"

"It seems that a rare treasure was born in the Jedi!"

"real or fake?"

"Who knows? But since those Jindan seniors are here, they must have good things."

"It's not our turn to get the good stuff, so we should just stay quiet and get some monster materials on the edge."

Because the area near Xiayin Jedi is within the Jiaolong Valley, the number of demon cultivators and demon beasts in the surrounding area is the largest. In addition, there are various spiritual medicines and spiritual treasures on the edge, especially a little deeper. The spiritual medicines grown in the world are of high age, which is why it has attracted many cultivators from the Chixia Mountains to come and explore.

When Zhou Ping heard the news, he couldn't help but take it to heart. Sure enough, the next day when he went to the edge of Xiayin Jedi, his spiritual sense immediately sensed that many Jindan cultivators had gathered. Among these Jindan cultivators, there were obviously those from powerful forces, but there were also independent cultivators.

He disguised himself as a casual cultivator and rode over on a flying magical weapon.

When many Jindan saw Zhou Ping, they all had different expressions.

"Humph, here comes another one who's not afraid of death."

"Flying magic weapons are just magical tools, and independent cultivators are just poor."

"If you don't have any skills, you're just here to die."

I heard some Jindan ridicule.

None of those wandering cultivators spoke.

Zhou Ping did not say anything, just floating silently aside. Those who could become Jindan were basically old foxes. Only a few young Jindan in big forces such as Chi Ming Mountain and Mo Lake had less experience, but none of them were fools, and the sarcastic remarks were definitely intentional.

I waited for most of the day.

Several more Jindan came over one after another.

"Alright, I think the number of people is almost there. Those Jindan from Chiming Mountain and Demon Lake have already gone in. Let's not wait any longer."

"That's right. There's no point in waiting any longer. The Xiayin Lotus Pond in the Xiayin Wasteland only opens once every three hundred years. If you go in, you're doomed. If it weren't for the number of people you need to get in, who would be willing to wait here?"

"Tsk tsk, the Xiayin Lotus Pond is said to have elixirs that can help with infant formation, nine-leaf ginseng lotus, and other rare treasures. As long as we are careful and don't be greedy, there is still a great chance of getting out alive."

This statement caused some Jindan to sneer.

Zhou Ping's expression changed slightly. The movement in Xiayin Jedi was actually the opening of the land of opportunity. He had never heard of the Xiayin Lotus Pond. Obviously, few Jindan cultivators in Chiyunfang knew such a secret. However, the Jindan cultivators around him, even the casual cultivators, were all in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation. Obviously, they were not qualified to know unless they had a certain level of cultivation strength.

"Senior, can you see something special nearby?"

He asked in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiao Ding quickly said, "This Xiayin Lotus Pond is quite interesting. It's actually a sound formation based on musical rhythms. This kind of formation is quite rare. Only those who understand musical rhythms and music can activate it. But I can't sense it deeper. That's what makes it interesting. Knowing everything will only make life less fun."

Xiao Ding seemed very interested.

Even in the Red Fire Wasteland, there was not much excitement.

Zhou Ping couldn't help but become a little alert. Even the small tripod couldn't see the depth clearly, which showed how strange the Xiayin Lotus Pond formation was.

He was communicating with Xiao Ding.

The leading Jindan masters had already made a discussion, and immediately a slender and delicate female Jindan master took out a jade flute and started playing it.

The flute sounds clear and pleasant.

Quite pleasant to hear.

This made Zhou Ping look at the woman again.

Her musical skills are in no way inferior to that of the Xiangqin Fairy, but she is good at music and can evoke the sound formation of the lotus pond, so she is naturally not an ordinary person.

Wow.

With the flute sound rippling.

The surrounding space slowly began to change. The originally clear daytime suddenly turned into darkness. Only a waterfall of light similar to the aurora was shining in the sky. Suddenly, the aurora turned into steps, and in front of the steps was a lotus formation.

"Haha, the lotus pond appears, let's go!"

Several late Jindan Real People with the most calm auras flew up one after another and walked along the steps towards the lotus formation.

Zhou Ping and the other wandering cultivators followed closely behind.

These steps are made of special mineral materials. When you step on them, you can hear the faint sound of music, which is beautiful and moving, and makes you feel refreshed.
