Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

The latest chapter is now available! Book lovers, hurry back!

Li Ping gave Meng Wanjun two choices.

The main reason was that he couldn't bear to abandon Meng Wanjun.

After all, people with the bloodline of the Dragon Tamer are extremely rare in the cultivation world. Not only does she have a high talent in the art of beast taming, but she is also naturally favored by spirit beasts. When spirit beasts are with her, they can maintain a happy mind and body, which is beneficial to their growth.

More importantly, once she cultivates to a higher level, she can also use several special innate divine abilities to buff spirit beasts and increase their success rate in advancing to the next level.

Bringing her along will make the growth process of the Wildfire Sparrow and the Earth Spirit Rat smoother.

Of course, Li Ping was not a hypocrite like Sheng Hu, and would not resort to coercion.

He respected Meng Wanjun's own ideas, and he would be happy if she was willing to follow him.

However, if Meng Wanjun is unwilling to let him place a soul restriction on her, then out of consideration for their past relationship, he will not make things difficult for her, but will let her leave on her own.

"I..." Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Meng Wanjun was stunned for a moment, and then a look of struggle appeared on her beautiful face.

She had no objection to following Li Ping.

However, the fact that Li Ping had placed a restriction on her soul, thus putting her life and death in his hands, made her somewhat hesitant.

Some of them were unwilling to be controlled by others, but more of them felt wronged because Li Ping did not trust them.

Just like in Li Ping's previous life, if one party proposes to have a prenuptial agreement or prenuptial property notarization before marriage, the other party will naturally feel wronged, since it is a clear sign of distrust.

But as the saying goes, "If she's willing, she'll convince herself."

Meng Wanjun pursed her lips, mentally analyzing her own thoughts: "According to what Sister Cheng Yao told me before, the young master was betrayed by his concubine, and he probably still harbors a thorn in his heart. So, just in case, he planted a restriction in my soul, not because he truly distrusts me."

"Moreover, the letter left by my master also said that the young master is kind and benevolent, and never mistreats his loved ones. Even if he really placed a restriction on my soul, he would not let me suffer any injustice. As long as I behave well in the future and put the young master at ease, he will remove the restriction on his own initiative, even if I don't say anything."

"Since I won't betray you, young master, what's wrong with letting him set up a restriction? Actually, it's a good thing. Having a restriction set up by you in my soul will make him trust me even more!"

……

"Young Master, Wan Jun is willing to let you place a restriction within my soul, so that I may accompany you for life." Meng Wan Jun made her decision quickly, and said softly with her lips pursed.

Upon receiving Meng Wanjun's reply, Li Ping smiled and nodded: "Alright, since you've chosen to follow me, I naturally won't let you suffer any losses. While I dare not make any grand promises, at least giving you a chance to form your core is no problem."

With Meng Wanjun's matter resolved satisfactorily, the remaining Condensation Pill in Li Ping's storage bag finally found its home.

At the same time, Li Ping didn't mind making a promise to her: "Through these years of getting along, you should know that I am not a cruel or eccentric person. Even with the soul restriction placed on me, you won't suffer by my side. And in the future, if you truly make me feel at ease, it's not impossible for me to remove the restriction."

"Yes, Wanjun understands." Hearing Li Ping's words, Meng Wanjun nodded obediently.

Then she looked up at Li Ping, her face beaming with a smile: "Please, young master, set a restriction on Wan Jun now."

"it is good."

Li Ping nodded, and immediately walked up to Meng Wanjun without ceremony. He pointed a finger at her brow and set up several sinister restrictions in succession.

In this way, Meng Wanjun's life and death were completely in his hands.

With just a thought from Li Ping, the restrictions within her soul would erupt, and she would be annihilated without any power to resist.

However, successfully setting up the restriction only means that Li Ping has control over Meng Wanjun's life and death, but it does not mean that he can understand what she is thinking.

Therefore, Li Ping did not tell her about his trip to the Great Zhou for the time being, but instead ordered Meng Wanjun to cancel the rental of the cave dwelling. He himself went to the market to buy the various materials needed to modify the underground formation of Xiaomei Mountain.

These materials were all fairly common, and Li Ping collected them all without much effort.

After purchasing the materials, he also visited Xu Guike and told him about his upcoming departure from Donghua Mountain.

However, he did not specify where he would go next.

But Xu Guike wasn't stupid. Seeing his expression that seemed to say, "Perhaps we won't see each other again for a long time," he quickly figured out that he was probably going to the Great Zhou.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Ping wasn't crossing the vast ocean to reach the Great Zhou, but rather could be airdropped via a teleportation array.

Li Ping will not tell anyone about the teleportation array in the short term.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the journey is long and arduous, but we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future," Xu Guike said with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.

Li Ping smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll have a drink with you, Fellow Daoist Xu, then."

After the sudden deaths of Master Fenglan and his disciples, Xu Guike had no one to care about in the Western Wilderness. Moreover, he was not the type to be obsessed with power, so Li Ping estimated that he would not regain control of the Immortal City.

After avenging his master, he will most likely choose to go to the Great Zhou with Lin Yue to pursue further progress in the path of immortality.

After all, there are no fourth-order spiritual veins in the Western Wilderness, and even those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots have no hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

That's why he believed he would have a chance to see Li Ping again.

The two smiled at each other, everything understood without a word.

Thinking that Xu Guike would seek revenge on the three sects, another thought popped into Li Ping's mind. He smiled and said, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Xu, the current city lord of Immortal City is named Ji Shuwen. She has quite a connection with me, and she has nothing to do with your master's death. I hope you can be lenient with her then."

The sword cultivator's combat power overwhelmed those of his peers, and with Xu Guike's Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude, plus the many pills he had given him.

In just a few years, he will have the power to destroy the three sects.

Considering that he might no longer be in the Western Wilderness at that time, Li Ping pleaded for Ji Shuwen in advance.

Xu Guike readily agreed: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, I am not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. She is not my target. For your sake and Shuxuan's sake, I will not make things difficult for her."

……

On the dark silver flying boat.

Li Ping stood atop the flying boat, gazing ahead with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Before leaving Donghua Mountain, he made a special excuse to visit Old Monster Chi Lei once, and found that his aura was still strong and his body was full of precious energy.

Clearly, he has not yet begun to deplete the power of his natal magic weapon to refine talismanic treasures.

This made Li Ping feel a little regretful. He could only continue to wait until the Wildfire Sparrow successfully advanced before he came back to check on his "old friend".

If he still hasn't refined the talisman by then, Li Ping will have no choice but to give up his plan to take revenge personally and instead go dancing on his grave when he returns to the Western Wilderness.

He could still distinguish between the importance of revenge and his own path.

He could not possibly delay his own path in order to seek revenge.

"Young Master, how do we fly west?" Meng Wanjun asked curiously as she looked down at the changing scenery below.

Clearly, given Li Ping's previous seriousness, she had guessed that the mysterious place he mentioned was probably the Great Zhou. Only a sacred place in the cultivation world like the Great Zhou could make a Core Formation True Person care so much.

However, after the flying boat left Donghua Mountain, it flew straight towards the Western Wilderness and Western Regions, which is why Meng Wanjun asked this question.

Li Ping smiled and looked at her: "If not west, then where should we go?"

"I thought...we were going to the Great Zhou." She said softly.

After the restriction was placed in her soul, her life and death were in the hands of the young master. Meng Wanjun had already regarded her as one of her own, and when they talked, she spoke her mind without any reservations.

"We are indeed going to the Great Zhou, but I have some things to do before we go." Li Ping nodded, smiling at her. "Besides, who said going to the Great Zhou necessarily means heading east?"

"Not east..." Meng Wanjun was dumbfounded.

……

Several days later, the flying boat stopped above Xiaomei Mountain. Li Ping put away the flying boat and flew downwards with Meng Wanjun. They soon passed through the magic array and arrived at the underground cold pool.

Since Li Ping had already completely controlled the magic array on Hantan Island before this, he did not crawl through the dog hole this time.

Instead, he took out the array activation token, opened an entrance, and flew in with Meng Wanjun.

With a wave of his hand, the Earth Spirit Rat and the Wildfire Sparrow appeared before him. Li Ping spoke softly and instructed, "The Wildfire Sparrow is on the verge of advancing. It should be able to break through to the third rank in a few years. Take good care of it. Once the Wildfire Sparrow breaks through to the third rank, we will set off for the Great Zhou."

Meng Wanjun was still observing her surroundings in astonishment, focusing on sensing the spiritual energy environment of the place.

She never expected that beneath the seemingly ordinary first-tier spiritual vein of Xiaomei Mountain, there was actually a third-tier spiritual vein hidden, something only Core Formation sects were qualified to possess.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard Li Ping's voice giving instructions. She quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, young master, I understand."

When she looked up at Li Ping again, she found that the young master had taken out a large pile of materials from his storage bag and then took out a refining furnace, and was refining something.

She immediately stopped disturbing them and led the Wildfire Sparrow and Earth Spirit Rat to the other side.

After repeatedly instructing the two beasts not to harm the Earth Rock Python, she casually summoned her own natal spirit beast, which was about the thickness of a finger.

Looking at the three proud beasts in front of her, Meng Wanjun couldn't help but smile.

She secretly rejoiced, thinking: In this large family, the young master is the head of the family, she is the mistress, and the three beasts are her and the young master's children.

The next moment, she took out a bottle of animal-feeding pills and said cheerfully, "Whoever Mom calls can eat. Babies whose names aren't called shouldn't move."

"Sparrow."

The wildfirebird flew over.

"Good baby."

"Mouse."

The earth spirit rat darted to her feet in a flash.

"Good baby."

"Snake."

The earless rock python stared blankly with wide eyes.

"Snake, are you deaf, you naughty baby?"
