"Did your alliance discover a large Qingxuan iron ore vein?"

After receiving the Qingxuan Iron Essence, Chen Ping was in a good mood for a moment and said casually with a hint of temptation.

Qingxuan Iron Essence is a third-level ore that can generally only be derived from large-scale Qingxuan Iron Mines.

"Haha, fellow Taoist swung out more than 200,000 spirit stones with a wave of his hand. Could it be that your Chen family has found a spirit stone mine?"

Shangguan Jin made a fortune and was in a good mood, so he was not angry at Chen Ping's presumptuous remarks, but instead joked with deep meaning.

Chen Ping was slightly stunned and apologized: "Don't blame me, fellow Daoist Shangguan, it was Chen who was abrupt. I have to rush back to Haichang, so I'll take my leave first."

"It's rare for Fellow Daoist Chen to come here, why not stay in our Yehuo League for a few days?"

Shangguan Jin persuaded with a smile.

"Definitely next time."

Chen Ping declined and cupped his hands, then stopped talking and flew directly out of the window on the second floor of the hall.

"I wish you, Daoyou Chen, a safe journey."

Shangguan Jin smiled and narrowed his eyes.

It wasn't until Chen Ping's figure was about to disappear from sight that the smile on his face suddenly faded, and his expression suddenly turned into a frown, then a ruthless expression, and he became extremely hesitant.

"He dares to come to our Bazhu Island alone to carry out large-scale transactions. He must be relying on someone behind him. Maybe there are several monks from the Chen clan hiding outside the island. Why should I shoot myself in the foot? Anyway, I have earned enough spiritual stones this time.

I have created several spiritual weapons."

Talking to himself softly like this, Shangguan Jin's face regained its previous calmness, and he frowned and said: "Well, let's think about how to face Alliance Leader Yang's accusation next."

…

After leaving the Yehuo Alliance station, Chen Ping looked for the direction and charged into the northern sky with all his strength.

He did not stop at all along the way, flying for four thousand miles in a row. It was not until he passed by a small desert island that he took a few pills to restore his physical strength and mana to their peak.

"Shangguan Jin is not very courageous, but there is nothing wrong with being cautious."

Chen Ping said something strange and angrily.

Before leaving, his consciousness covered the entire basin, and he could clearly see the changes in Shangguan Jin's expression.

As long as this guy dares to have evil thoughts, Chen Ping will go on a killing spree to destroy the Yehuo Alliance and take away the Sun of Earth Fire.

It's certainly uncomfortable to be besieged by more than a dozen foundation builders, but if you pay some price, you can still barely kill them all.

But Shangguanjin finally gave up the pursuit, so naturally Chen Ping would not seek trouble to impose charges.

Who doesn’t have evil thoughts?

Even he occasionally had the treacherous idea of ​​overthrowing the Lan Yue Sect.

As for the tens of thousands of extra spiritual stones spent on purchasing Qingxuan Iron Essence, Chen Ping was not very annoyed by this loss-making business.

When the Pure Yang Sword is released, he will immediately have the strength to truly rival the early stage of Yuan Dan. If you lose some sesame seeds and peanuts, you will lose them.

After resting for several hours, Chen Ping touched his storage ring, released a spiritual boat, rode the wind and waves, and embarked on his return journey again.

…

More than half a month later, Chen Ping returned to Haichang Island.

At this time, it was ten days later than he expected.

Because his luck on the way back to the clan was not that good, he accidentally broke into the place where a group of second-level fish monsters lay their eggs.

So, not surprisingly, he was regarded as an intruder, and hundreds of first-order fish demons, led by five second-order fish demon kings, launched a frantic attack on him.

After Chen Ping finally killed all the fish, he veered off course and entered an unfamiliar sea area.

He just wanted to escape the light and leave, but he never expected that a huge creature more than ten feet tall would emerge from the deep sea.

Chen Ping used his spiritual sense to explore and found a result that frightened him.

The monster beast at the early stage of the third level, the Dark Sky Golden Rose Spider.

This spider itself is only of the bloodline of the earth demon. According to common sense, it is difficult to advance to the third level.

Golden spiders have the characteristic of hibernation and aestivation, and they remain in a deep sleep state for at least half of the year.

It seemed that his own breath posed a slight threat to it, and it woke up.

Without saying a word, Chen Ping used the Demonic Escape Shadow Step to escape hastily. Fortunately, the Golden Rose Spider's movement was slow and he lost the enemy and hid back under the sea.

Seeing that he was out of danger, he immediately pulled out the sea area map and added the coordinates of the spider demon into it.

"That spider demon should have just advanced to the third level, and is not a fish that slipped through the net during the Lan Yue Sect's purge."

Chen Ping said thoughtfully.

In the future, if he breaks through the Yuan Dan, he will definitely find an opportunity to kill the Golden Rose Spider.

Although reporting to Lan Yue Sect would get some considerable rewards, Chen Ping had no intention of giving it up.

Third-level monsters are full of treasures. If they are refined into high-level puppets, they will be much more practical than ordinary magic weapons and talismans.

The top of Fuge Mountain.

There was silence in the cave, and Xue Yun did not know where to go.

In front of the bamboo house, there was a jade slip suspended. Chen Ping glanced at it with his consciousness and found that it was left by Taoist monk Xue Yun.

It means that she has led the monks from the worship hall to go to sea to find ways to make money, and it may take several months or even a year before she returns to the family.

Chen Ping's heart moved and he crushed the jade slips in his hands into powder.

The worship hall is self-reliant, and of course he is happy to see success.

Otherwise, as the number of guests gradually increases, the annual salary alone will be an extremely exaggerated expense.

Moreover, he reminded Xue Yun many times that the worship hall must be developed based on the principle of survival of the fittest.

In short, within the scope of the ninth level of Qi training, those who are inferior in strength or have no hope of promotion to foundation building can be arranged to act as the vanguard of the battle and charge into the battle.

While strictly controlling the number of people, the strength of the worship hall will become stronger and stronger.

He kept five drops of pure water on hand, intending to put them in the worship hall.

But the way to obtain this thing is not to exchange it with spiritual stones or resources.

Chen Ping wanted Xue Yun to formulate the specific process.

After all, the second and third-class guests in the enshrinement hall are all monks at the peak of Qi training, and there is more or less hope of breaking into the foundation building.

This requires careful screening.

Let’s not mention the spiritual root qualifications for now, but at least the character and loyalty must pass the test.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ping sent a message to Chen Yiru and asked her to come and meet him.

After receiving the message, Chen Yiru immediately stood up and walked towards the bamboo house with light steps.

"Aunt Ru, these two one-line Foundation-Building Pills were purchased with the family's public wealth. Please accept them as the leader's reward in the Pill-winning Competition."

Seeing her entering the room, Chen Ping handed over two jade boxes and gave instructions calmly.

The family's Foundation Building Pill has always been kept in the treasure house.

But the one who is currently building the foundation of the treasure house is Hui Qiuyan, the fifth elder.

Chen Ping didn't have any trust in this woman at all.

Chen Xingchao at least has the orthodox Chen family bloodline and will basically not do anything that harms the interests of the family.

But Hui Qiuyan was raised by Broken Star Sect and taught martial arts. Her feelings for the sect were even higher than those of the Chen family.

Otherwise, even to avoid suspicion, she should not have frequent contact with the monks of the Broken Star Gate during such a sensitive period.

"Sure enough, you bought the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Chen Yiru reached out to catch it with a teasing look on his face.

Before, Chen Xingchao and his wife questioned each other, but Chen Ping said without changing his face that he didn't buy it. He was really a dishonest guy.

Chen Ping smiled softly and said: "The rules of the pill-taking competition remain unchanged, but the rewards for the top ten can be more generous. Before the third elder retreated, he felt ashamed to be the hands-off shopkeeper, so he offered to take the pill

Fifty years of salary subsidies will be given to the family."

"In my opinion, it would be more practical to use his salary to increase the rewards of the elixir-winning competition and encourage the younger generation to practice diligently."

"Well, the third elder is selfless and has never forgotten his family in seclusion. He deserves our respect."

The corners of Chen Yiru's mouth twitched, obviously trying very hard to hold back his smile.

This is Chen Ping's obvious revenge.

When he fled Haichang City, Chen Xingchao was furious and withheld his salary for several years.

Now, Chen Xingchao was forced to come back tenfold.

"Ping'er, Broken Star Sect sent envoys here a few days ago."

Chen Yiru said: "However, I sent him away because you are not in the clan."
