Chapter 15 The Alert Chen Xintong
Chapter 15 The Alert Chen Xintong
"This junior is blind. Senior, your lord has a lot, give me a way out!"
Seeing Chen Ping appear, Xue Shisan wailed in despair.
At this time, his seven orifices were all broken, and his body was covered in blood, and he looked like withered.
Xue Shisan had the shortest time to advance to the seventh level of Qi training, so he was also the most injured.
The huge pressure almost shattered his internal organs!
But Xue Jiu and Xue Shishi were in a better situation than him.
But half of their lives were lost, and it was impossible to recover without recuperating for several months.
"You followed me through this little flying ant?"
Chen Ping ignored the three people begging for mercy, but said to himself: "Did Master Xue tamper with the spirit boat or the talisman?"
"Oh, maybe there is something wrong with this out-of-print sea area map, which is hard to find outside?"
While speaking, Chen Ping had already grabbed the jade slip that Xue Wen gave as a gift, and threw it at the flying ant that was already prostrate on the ground.
"buzzing"
The black flying ant, which was dying, seemed to be fatally attracted, and staggered into the air, hugging the jade slip with its six legs.
"Senior, this is a phagocytic ant, a monster insect in the middle of the first order, and it has no supernatural powers worth mentioning. But it has an extremely sensitive sense of smell and likes to eat spirit flowers, especially the scent of purple gold flowers."
"As for that jade slip, a little bit of purple gold nectar was added during refining, so as long as it doesn't exceed a range of thirty miles, spot-eating ants can easily smell it."
Xue Jiu said tremblingly, clasping his hands behind his waist, as if resigned to slaughter.
"I'm afraid Xue Wen has done this kind of trick for money."
Chen Ping sneered secretly, but he didn't think it was strange.
There are countless greedy and vicious monks in the cultivation world.
If he hadn't been a fake pill capable of seizing spirits, and replaced by other monks at the sixth level of Qi training, Xue Jiusan would have been beaten to death long ago.
In his previous life, after experiencing the ruthlessness of several Jindan Patriarchs of Qianfazong, Chen Ping has completely understood a truth.
There is no true love under the avenue, and the only one you can trust is yourself.
Those who seem to be heart-to-heart and sincere treat each other, but the temptation they face is not so great that it is worth cutting the string in their hearts.
Once peerless treasures such as the Infant Transformation Pill and the mysterious golden beads appear, the strings will break and the piano will collapse in an instant.
Seeing that Chen Ping remained silent, Xue Jiu would not understand his intention for a while.
He propped himself up and knelt down, and said in a panic: "Senior, can you forgive the lives of the three of my brothers? The villain knows my boss, no, no, it's that guy Xue Wen. He has a secret about a monster. Yes, I believe it will definitely satisfy the seniors."
"boom!"
What responded to him was a sharp and swift sword energy.
Then, a head flew out obliquely, and rolled onto a raised rock.
The man's head and eyes were bared, and his face still had a hint of disbelief.
Xue Jiu didn't expect Chen Ping to attack the killer without saying a word before he died. Could it be that he is not interested in Xue Wen's secret at all?
After killing Xue Jiu, Chen Ping cut off his right hand with a sword, opened it and saw that he was holding a purple talisman about an inch in size in his hand.
The surface of the talisman was faintly flickering with electric light, and at a glance, it was obvious that it was an attacking treasure with a thunder attribute, and it was about to be activated.
In this world, there are tens of thousands of functional, killing, and defensive talismans.
From the first, second, and third levels of the lowest grade to the ninth level.
Each level is divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and best-grade.
The talisman that Xue Jiu held tightly in his hand was the Yanlei Talisman, a low-grade second grade.
After injecting the mana, the Lightning Technique can be launched instantly, which is close to [-]% of the power of the spell cast by the monk in the early stage of foundation establishment, and it is really possible to be attacked by him if he is negligent.
Chen Ping put away the talisman, and couldn't help but feel that Xue Jiu was a bit ridiculous.
Xue Wen's secret?
This mortal person will naturally be prepared by him in the future.
"Ninth Brother!"
Xue Shishi and Xue Shisan were devastated. The three of them were diners supported by Xue Wen. They had sucked blood for many years, and they also expected such a day.
So, a few years ago, they collected a thousand spirit stones to travel to Jinrui Island, and bought a Yanlei Talisman in the junior square market.
This talisman, which is regarded as a trump card, is usually kept by Xue Jiu.
It is agreed that when encountering an enemy that cannot be resisted, find an opportunity to throw out to save your life, maybe you can turn the tables and counterattack.
How could he have expected that Chen Ping had already understood Xue Jiu's mind, and did not give him a chance, but even the Thunderbolt Talisman fell into the enemy's hands.
Now, even if Xue Jiu was revived and the three of them used their joint attacks in their prime, there was no chance of them surviving.
"Thirteen, fight him!"
Seeing that he could not survive, Xue Shishi broke out with the ferocity and determination of a desperado, regardless of the injury, he suddenly sacrificed a golden knife, and with an afterimage, he quickly slashed at Chen Ping's waist.
At the same time, Xue Shisan, who was seriously injured and dying, also slapped the storage bag, and pulled out a magic weapon with the same shape as the golden knife. When he stretched out his hand, the knife roared towards Chen Ping's lower body.
In an instant, two high-grade magic weapons sealed the position where Chen Ping dodged, one in front and one behind, at an extremely tricky angle.
"Tips for carving insects!"
Chen Ping sneered, the Earth Flame Sword moved with his heart, and appeared out of thin air again, holding the hilt of the sword, the spiritual power in the meridians and spiritual acupoints was injected immediately.
The Earth Flame Sword suddenly burst into red light, the temperature in this small space rose sharply, and a scorching sword energy swept down.
"Clang!"
Between the lightning and the flint, the two golden knives were hit at the same time, and then the arrogance subsided, and they fell to the ground, smashing two small holes.
The Earth Flame Sword is smelted from a whole piece of Earth Flame essence, which is harder than the material of a golden knife.
What's more, with the high-quality spiritual power evolved from the Nine Changes Flame Spirit Jue, this sword can even exert [-]% of its power.
"You...you are not a foundation cultivator!"
Losing the golden saber magic weapon, Xue Shishi was panicked, but at the same time, he was shocked deeply.
The spiritual energy from the outside world is stored in the spiritual acupoints of the foundation-building monks, and the spiritual power generated is several times denser and purer than that during the Qi training period!
In short, the gaseous spiritual power in a Qi training monk's body will transform into a condensed liquid state in the foundation building period.
Although the spiritual power that Chen Ping injected just now was much deeper and thicker than the two of them, it never reached the lowest limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, it was after discovering that Chen Ping was not the "Senior Foundation Establishment" they had imagined that Xue Shishi was extremely frightened.
A cultivator at the sixth floor of the Qi training stage, even if his magic power is strong and profound, he still possesses a huge spiritual consciousness comparable to that of the foundation building stage, as well as that kind of strange and powerful spiritual attack supernatural power.
"This... this... who the hell!"
Xue Shixi couldn't help feeling chills, what happened today completely overturned his cognition.
But it was also the last thought in his life.
As the strange sword light in the pupils gradually enlarged, there was a faint red blood hole between the eyebrows of the two of them.
"Boom!"
When the corpse fell, a cloud of dust was raised, and the Xue Jiusan brothers all fell.
Chen Ping squatted down, groped for a while on the bodies of the three men, found a few storage bags, and then put away the two golden knives that had been smashed into the pit.
The demeanor of a senior expert is worthless in front of the resources of cultivating immortals.
After the search was over, Chen Ping's fingertips floated up a few spirit fires, and the bullets hit the corpses of Xue Jiu and the others. They burned to ashes together with the jade slip engraved with the map of the sea and the black flying ants.
After getting rid of the traces of fighting skills, Chen Ping walked more than a dozen miles deep into the woods, and finally opened a dense bush, hiding in it to rest and adjust his breath.
The massacre of Xue Jiu and the others did not consume much mana, but due to the use of the Hundred Forging Condensation Technique, the spirit was a little sluggish, and it took one to two days to recover slowly.
There are many ways to restore the power of the soul.
The most common is sitting in meditation, or falling into deep sleep.
But this method is only suitable for low-level monks with weak souls.
The cultivators in Yuandan Realm who have experienced the baptism of Xiaolei Tribulation will have a huge increase in their soul power.
At that time, if one wanted to recover the lost spiritual power by meditating and sleeping, it would probably take more than ten years.
For the recovery of high-level monks' soul power, more often they need to rely on external treasures.
For example, the third-level spiritual material Qinghunmu, the fourth-level elixir Tianquan Nourishing Soul Pill, the third-level talisman Dayuan Guardian Talisman, etc.
Even some miraculous high-level magic weapons also have the magical effect of restoring the soul.
……
Two days later, Chen Ping opened his eyes and got up.
He's back to his prime.
After pondering for a while, he walked out of the forest and sneaked all the way, and soon returned to the ferry where the spirit boat stopped when he came.
Chen Ping looked at the sea in the distance.
I saw a medium-sized spirit boat parked beside the reef.
On the bow deck, a burly seven-foot man stood upright, his eyes were still scanning the shore, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.
"Chen Xintong really participated in it!"
Chen Ping sneered again and again, his eyes full of killing intent.
The end point of this passenger ship is Yunquan Island.
According to Xingzhitang's regulations, the spirit boat had to set off for Haichang Island the next day after arriving at its destination.
But two full days have passed, and this spirit boat is still hovering at the ferry.
Apart from Chen Xintong, the monk who guarded the boat, there should be no other person on Yunquan Island who is qualified to make such a decision.
What's more, what Chen Ping saw with his own eyes that day was that this person and Xue Wen had a good friendship, and it was very possible that they colluded together.
Although all of this is Chen Ping's speculation, it does not hinder his determination to eradicate Chen Xintong.
The Fourth Elder Chen Yiru personally guarded the family treasure house, and he had already leaked a piece of news.
Recently, there must be a new treasure with high value in the treasury, and there is a high probability that it is a foundation-building pill.
Considering that it has been nearly 20 years since Chen Yiru established the foundation, during this period the Chen family has accumulated enough financial resources to buy a new foundation establishment pill.
And the family had previously granted a genuine Foundation Establishment Seed.
But it was rumored that this Foundation Establishment Pill would skip that junior seed and give it to Chen Xintong directly.
Therefore, if Chen Xintong disappears from the human world, then this Foundation Establishment Pill will become an ownerless thing again.
At that time, Chen Ping can plan a strategy and try to compete for one or two.
Furthermore, Chen Xintong is one of the core members of the lineage of the three elders.
Just taking the opportunity to get rid of one this time can also reduce some of his resistance to planning the Chen family in the future.
Chen Ping, who was born in the Jindan Sect in his previous life, knows that controlling a large force is definitely more beneficial than harmful for monks.
Indeed, he will devote part of his time and energy to this, but once the forces he supports can operate well, the benefits brought by him will not be comparable to that of a single person.
The Chen family on Haichang Island is just the first step in his expansion of ambition.
The road to immortality is long, and anyone who stands in his way will be wiped out like an enemy!
"My lord, it has been a day."
On the spirit boat, Gong Jin, a beautiful and elegant woman in a blue dress, reminded her.
Chen Xintong glanced at the spirit boat that was about to be full, his face was cloudy and uncertain.
Although his father is the head of Xingzhitang, there are many competitors staring at this throne.
If he violated the family rules too blatantly, he would cause a lot of trouble to the elders in the family.
"Order, wait another hour!"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Chen Xintong pondered over and over for a long time, stretched his arms, and jumped onto the ferry.
The corners of Chen Ping's mouth curled up, and he was about to follow, but suddenly the figure paused and stopped.
"Ok?"
To his great surprise, Chen Xintong paused on the shore and pondered for a moment, but turned back to the boat strangely.
Then, the spirit boat formation was activated, and it drove away from Yunquan Island at full speed.
Chen Ping stared straight at the sea until the spirit boat disappeared from sight, and then left the ferry without hesitation.
