Chapter 3 Piggy Bank

in the camp.

The martial arts practitioner cupped his fists and said, "I am Wang Cheng, a disciple of Lu Yunmen."

Liu Ping said: "My servant is Chen Shuangyu."

"Brother Chen Shuangyu, which sect are you a disciple of?" Wang Cheng asked.

"I am a true disciple of the Heavenly God Sect." Liu Ping said.

"Shen Tianzong, so you are a disciple of a famous sect." Wang Cheng clicked his tongue.

"Actually, it's nothing. Most of our Shentianzong disciples are sword masters and swordsmen. Every time they rush to the front, the casualties are more tragic than those of ordinary sects. Thirty percent of the soul lamps in the Hall of Fate and Soul have been extinguished." Liu Ping said without changing his expression.

"Sure enough, it's a great demeanor, which is admirable!" Wang Cheng sighed.

The soul lamp is naturally bound to the life and soul of the practitioner. Once the practitioner dies, the soul lamp will automatically extinguish.

However, the production process of the soul lamp is quite troublesome. After dozens of crafts, it spans refining, Taoism, and hexagrams.

Therefore, often only famous sects have the Soul of Life Hall dedicated to placing soul lamps.

and so……

Liu Ping also has a soul lamp.

Even though the army is in turmoil right now and the sect can't take care of it for a while, after his death, sooner or later, someone will definitely come to check on his situation.

Not knowing the details of the other party, Liu Ping could only use this oblique method to persuade the other party not to have any crooked thoughts.

Finished speaking.

The two fell silent at the same time.

Wang Cheng seemed to have encountered some difficulty, frowning, thinking about something.

Liu Ping quickly checked his storage bag.

A few spirit stones.

A knife.

A bunch of copper coins.

Two ordinary monastic books.

A few pitiful bigu pills.

Then there is nothing.

These should all be prepared by the master in advance, which is very in line with Liu Ping's identity as a disciple of the Baisheng sect who refines Qi.

but--

I'm afraid the master didn't count, as soon as I woke up, I met a person who came back from the dead, so I fell into danger.

Master didn't count?
This is a strange thing.

Liu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.

My injury is healing rapidly, as long as I don't move, it hardly hurts.

But if you want to go into battle immediately and compete with a strange dead man, it's still far away.

What's more, the other party is a foundation-building cultivator, and he may have developed supernatural powers.

If the opponent has magical powers, there is no need to fight at all.

But Wang Cheng shook his neck, put his hand on the storage bag casually, and asked: "Brother Chen, as a true disciple, you should have some means of self-defense. Why did you fall into the current situation?"

Liu Ping sighed and said, "I can't help it when I meet the main force of monsters."

Wang Cheng then sighed: "Then you are really unlucky."

Liu Ping turned slightly sideways in the stretcher, put his hands on the storage bag at his waist, and then said: "Everyone is dead, and only I survived - after all, I have the most defensive means, it's really lucky Things."

"That's right." Wang Cheng agreed.

With Chen Shuangyu's strength, no matter how many means he has, it is still not enough in front of the main army of monsters.

It was a miracle that he even survived.

Having figured this out, Wang Cheng let go of his storage bag and murmured, "It's almost dawn..."

"Yes, it's almost dawn." Liu Ping answered.

As soon as this sentence was said, Liu Ping felt something in his heart.

Wang Cheng's aura changed, and his gaze became a little colder.

——What did I say wrong?
Liu Ping immediately recalled, but found that all the words just now had no flaws.

Only the last sentence "It's almost dawn"...

Is there anything wrong with this?

He suddenly remembered the words of the former practitioner.

"It's Mao time now, and in another quarter of an hour, the effect of the medicine on your body will disappear. At that time, I will give you another medicine to strengthen it."

When?

wrong.

The sky is still dark, why has it reached Maoshi.

If it was really Mao, the sky should have been bright.

But the sky remained dark.

Is it...

Day will not come?
The answer is pretty easy to deduce, but—

It's outrageous.

Liu Ping thought quickly, but saw Wang Cheng take out a pill from his arms, and said with a smile:

"Brother Chen, I have some good healing pills here. I have been reluctant to eat them since the start of the war. I took one just now, and all the injuries on my body healed. Now that I am here with you, I will give you one as a gift. Just give it a try, it will definitely work wonders.”

Liu Ping glanced at those pills.

But seeing that the elixir was fiery red, with a golden thread protruding from it, forming a round of dense light on the surface of the elixir, it was quite a show.

"Controlling Crane Pill!" Liu Ping said emotionally.

"It's the Crane Pill, brother Chen, do you want to try it?" Wang Cheng smiled.

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

"Haha, I'm very happy if you don't dislike my elixir."

"How could it be possible to dislike it, this is the Crane Control Pill!" Liu Ping clasped his fists gratefully.

——The bullshit control crane pill.

The real Crane Control Pill can make the bone grow muscle, and even the broken dantian can be saved, so how could it be in the hands of a small sect of martial arts monks?

Besides, others don't recognize this elixir, so why doesn't he, Liu Ping, know what this elixir is?
This elixir looks like Crane Control Pill, but actually there are two elixir, one thick and the other light.

The thick one is the control crane pill wrapped outside, and the weak one is the poison pill inside.

Poison Dan also has the same smell.

It's just that the poison pill is a devil's egg, which can turn people into some kind of horrible puppets.

This made Liu Ping really pay attention to it.

The monks of Shentianzong are good at charging and attacking, and are also good at various defensive methods in battle formations, but there is no branch of alchemy in the sect.

It was also difficult for Wang Cheng, who was afraid of the non-existent self-defense methods in the hands of "Chen Shuangyu", so he came up with a plan to kill people with poisonous pills.

--but why?
If he was really Chen Shuangyu, he would have the protection of the elders behind him, with countless cards in his body, and even a soul lamp to follow his orders at any time.

And the two monks will return at any time.

With the sentence "it's almost dawn", the dead man is about to kill himself immediately, without even thinking about whether he will be fooled, he is simply stunned.

The reason why I didn't tear myself apart was only because I suddenly woke up, and there were still many things I didn't understand.

But now it seems that there is no way.

Liu Ping's eyes fell into the void, and his thoughts moved slightly.

Moment.

In the void, the flickering characters unfolded in front of his eyes, turning into a line of small characters:
"Due to insufficient funds, this sequence cannot be opened."

Liu Ping called silently: "Open the piggy bank."

In the void, a few new lines of small characters suddenly appeared:
"Your available balance is: 5462343767 Lingshi."

"You can access it anytime."

"Note: Lingshi is a basic currency on the practice side, which can be circulated in the world on the practice side."

Liu Ping couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

There have indeed been some strange people in history, and no one can tell what is going on with their supernatural powers.

In the past, when I just got this thing, I thought it was some amazing supernatural power——

This thing said that the funds were insufficient, so I kept throwing spirit stones into it, hoping to open it one day, so as to completely change my destiny.

As the disciple of Gua Sheng, he is proficient in the six arts, and he can earn a lot of spirit stones by doing whatever he wants.

It's not difficult at all.

pity……

Not long ago, after storing enough 5462343767 spirit stones, this thing sent a new reminder to itself:
"In view of the fact that you have put in too many spirit stones, this sequence makes an exception to enable the 'piggy bank' function for you, so that you can deposit and withdraw spirit stones at any time."

"Attention, Lingshi is the currency on the practice side, but it is not the funds required to start this sequence."

"Please keep raising funds."

No!

If you don't say it earlier, I will say it after decades of hard work.

Isn't this a joke?
At that time, I immediately asked, what is the real "funding".

Got only one answer:
"Please enjoy the joy of exploration."

This full experience has directly experienced the present.

And no matter how much he asked later, he didn't get any answer.

Liu Ping was overjoyed, and cupped his hands at Wang Cheng: "Then thank you, Brother Wang, but this item is not cheap, and I will definitely not let you suffer."

Wang Cheng showed hesitation and said, "This...isn't it good..."

Liu Ping interrupted him and said, "Brother Wang, I don't like to owe favors to others. It's better to buy them with money."

Wang Cheng looked at the other party, and gradually came to his senses.

He wanted to kill him, but he mistakenly thought that he was clinging to him.

——Sure enough, it is the virtue of the big sect. I would rather spend some money to buy it than be associated with practitioners of the small sect.

——If he wants to pay, let him pay.

Although he was a little upset, as long as he was allowed to take this elixir, everything would be fine.

"Never mind."

Wang Cheng nodded, and threw the elixir to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping swallowed the poison pill in one gulp.

Wang Cheng was overjoyed immediately.

Liu Ping took the poisonous pill, there must be no way out!

It's just that in this process, Chen Shuangyu will first sense the healing effect of the elixir.

After all, the outer layer of this elixir is genuine Crane Control Pill, and the real poison elixir is wrapped inside, and it takes a little time to work.

"The elixir is good, and I can already feel that my body is recovering faster." Liu Ping praised.

"Hahaha, of course, how could I cheat on you, brother." Wang Cheng only felt relaxed and said with a big smile.

"Then it's time for me to pay the bill. You report the amount." Liu Ping asked.

Wang Cheng said boldly: "Brother can trust you, just watch and give it to me."

Liu Ping said: "Okay, I will definitely satisfy Brother Wang."

Steep Mutation——

A crystal clear mountain peak exuding a chilling aura suddenly appeared.

This turned out to be a mountain composed entirely of spirit stones!
boom! ! !
Lingshi Mountain fell from the sky and collided violently with the earth, causing smoke and dust like a giant to rise into the sky.

Wang Cheng didn't even have time to react, he was already crushed under the mountain.

It's just a breath of effort before and after.

"It's such a beautiful world, but you want to kill me." Liu Ping sighed, looked up at the Lingshi Mountain, with a look of reminiscence on his face.

"Brother Wang, I'm a lazy person. You see, this mountain was built with spiritual stones during my travels during the foundation-building period, in order to avoid fighting with fellow monks... There are a lot of whimsical ideas and a lot of unscrupulous attempts, not as decadent and boring as it is now."

He rambled to himself.

At this moment, if you follow his gaze, you can see several murderous big characters engraved on the front of Lingshi Mountain:

"Under the golden core, it is extremely useful to suppress anyone and die."

The person was killed, and the words were finished, Liu Ping put his hand on the strange mountain.

next moment.

The entire Lingshi mountain immediately disappeared without a trace.

From the beginning to the end, this mountain peak made entirely of spirit stones only existed for a few breaths before it turned into nothingness like a dream.

All kinds of magic circles surrounded the vast cemetery, and at this moment they all released mana to smooth out all the fluctuations.

Besides crushing Wang Cheng to death——

As if nothing had happened.

Everything is back to normal.

In the void, two lines of small characters appeared:

"You have withdrawn from the piggy bank the Lingshi Mountain composed of [-] million Lingshi."

"You took back this Lingshi Mountain again."

Liu Pinghun didn't care, and opened his mouth to spit out a pill and put it in his hand.

The layer of dark green fragrance on the outside of the pill has just melted away.

In fact, the whole elixir was swallowed into the stomach, and immediately wrapped in spiritual power——

Spiritual power does not accelerate refining, but delays its melting.

Poison Dan has naturally not yet occurred.

Swallowing the poisonous pill was just to let Wang Cheng relax his vigilance.

After all, some foundation-building cultivators have supernatural powers, and occasionally many variables will arise.

Liu Ping put the elixir into the storage bag, walked to Wang Cheng's corpse and made a random formula.

A coffin flew over and landed firmly in front of Wang Cheng.

I didn't expect to be able to release the spell so soon.

——My own injury is further recovering.

But the strength of the peak of Qi refining...

It can only be regarded as a pawn on the battlefield, and it is not useful at all.

Liu Ping looked at Wang Cheng who was on the ground, and said:

"You must have a lot of secrets, but I have not recovered from my injuries, I have lost all my strength, and I have to clean the blood stains on the spirit stone later, so I really don't have time to take it easy with you."

"Besides—"

"It's time for them to come back."

Liu Ping's tactics changed.

After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng's body was seen flying up and landed firmly in the coffin.

——Wang Cheng swallowed his breath a long time ago, but his eyes were still open unwillingly.

It seemed that until the moment of death, he still couldn't believe that his final ending was to be crushed to death by a Lingshi mountain.

The coffin closed and sank slowly towards the ground.
