Chapter 247: Li Ping: I can fly all over the country, the first mission of the Search for Gods Palac
Qingcheng Mountain is one of the ancestral sites of Taoism, and there are many Taoist temples besides Songfeng Temple.
However, the others are all proper Taoist priests, at most they know some breathing exercises for health preservation, but they don't know how to fight.
Inside the Jade Void Temple.
An old Taoist priest was reciting scriptures when he suddenly looked up in the direction of the Searching God Palace: "The Searching God Palace next door is making a ruckus again. They're brandishing weapons and making noise so early in the morning that it's disturbing my scripture reading."
"When our founder established the school, he said that the beauty of Qingcheng Mountain nurtures one's character, and cultivating the Tao begins with cultivating the mind. But look what happened—that scoundrel Yu Canghai turned it into a martial arts school full of fighting and killing!"
"Later, they went to steal someone else's sword manual, and their entire family was wiped out. Serves them right!"
"We thought we had finally found peace, but then another group of martial artists came and disturbed our peaceful cultivation."
Another old Taoist priest tapped on the alchemy furnace and snorted, "That's right! We guard this Jade Void Temple, with the morning bell and evening drum, practicing breathing exercises, refining elixirs and taking medicine, all in pursuit of longevity, purity, and non-action."
"As a result, I ended up with such a neighbor, and even the pills I'm practicing are starting to get tainted with evil energy."
A young Taoist priest standing nearby said, "Master, I heard that the sect leader of the Search God Palace is quite capable. He was undergoing his tribulation a few days ago, and all the senior brothers saw him."
"Some even say he's actually the reincarnation of the White Snake!"
The old Taoist priest, enraged, shouted, "You little brat! You listen to all that nonsense from the martial arts world, and you've completely distorted the true Taoist teachings! Tribulation by lightning? Where in Taoism has there been any talk of enduring heavenly lightning to transcend tribulation?"
The young Taoist boy shrank back: "My senior brother really saw it! He even said that the sect leader of the Search God Palace is actually a sword immortal who can fly..."
The old Taoist priest was furious and wanted to knock him on the head, but suddenly, he sensed something and looked up to see a figure flying quickly across the sky above their Jade Void Temple.
While still in the air, he suddenly leaped again, soaring high like a large bird, and flew down from Qingcheng Mountain.
With a snap, the alchemical scripture fell to the ground from the old Taoist's hand, his beard trembling wildly: "Really...really, really a sword immortal?"
The two old Taoist priests exchanged a glance, and the one who was refining pills said, "How about we go to the Divine Palace to consult their Taoist arts?"
The old Taoist priest, tugging at his beard, said, "But we are not of the Sword Immortal lineage. The Sword Immortal lineage is descended from Lu Zu..."
The old alchemist said, "Fellow Daoists of the world are one family!"
The one who just flew away from the sky was naturally Li Ping. He had originally planned to take Su Ying with him and perhaps help Li Chenzhou if they encountered him on the way.
But then I thought, what if I missed it on the way?
Moreover, taking Su Ying with me would slow me down. If I were alone, I could reach the capital in a day, and if I was lucky, I could return the next day.
This was because Li Ping had to travel along the official road; he didn't have GPS, and if he flew around randomly, he would get lost.
If they travel in a straight line and maintain a sustained burst of speed, they can reach the capital in three or four hours at most.
Flying down from the mountaintop, then quickly flying up to another mountain, and then flying down again, Li Ping experienced the joy of flying with the wind.
So much freedom, so much joy!
It's a hundred times more enjoyable than climbing a mountain while playing a game.
He felt the fierce wind whipping against his face and laughed: "Does this mean I'm allowed to fly anywhere in the country?"
……
"We've been dispatched on a mission!"
Upon hearing this, the entire Search God Palace became lively.
Currently, there are very few tasks available; at most, it involves helping to make pills or escorting them to pharmacies.
Alternatively, they could give a warning to other pharmacies that are trying to cause trouble because their pills are priced too low.
This has forced them to compete fiercely to earn points, hoping to achieve a good score in the monthly exam!
Wenrou looked at the taskbar and said, "Looking for anomalies near Chengdu? What do you mean by anomalies?"
Everyone was a little confused.
Wang Xiaoshi said excitedly, "It's definitely different! It might be some kind of time fragment or time crystal sand."
Mu Wanqing said, "Then you are not allowed to go."
Wang Xiaoshi was stunned: "Why can't I go? There are no restrictions on the mission, why can't I go for 200 points?"
Mu Wanqing snorted coldly: "Because you're the only inner disciple here, how dare you compete with us outer disciples?"
Wang Xiaoshi: "..."
Your one-stop haven for novel reading.
I'm an inner disciple, but I'm also short on points!
I want to become stronger, I want to make a name for myself. How can I become stronger without earning more points?
At this moment, Yue Lingshan said, "You can't compete with us even if you want to. This isn't a martial arts competition. The search is definitely about who has more people and who is easier to find."
Shi Xiuyun said, "But what if several people discover it at the same time?"
Guo Xiang clapped her hands: "How about we form a team? Five people per team, and as long as it's discovered by the same team, it counts as a team discovery."
"If 200 points are split equally among 5 people, each person will have 40 points, enough to exchange for a Grade C cultivation technique."
Zhou Zhiruo said bitterly, "Master, you don't need to compete with us!"
Guo Xiang waved her hand: "Alright, I'll help you find it. If you find it, it's yours; I won't share!"
Anyway, whatever she wanted to practice, she didn't need to spend points; Huang Rong would just teach her directly.
Li Ping's martial arts skills were all taught by Huang Rong, so what problem could there be in teaching Guo Xiang?
"Little Eastern Heretic is so bold!"
"Master Guo is so magnanimous!"
The group then formed teams and dashed down the mountain.
Then he ran away too.
puff……
Huang Rong and Su Ying, who were watching all this from behind, laughed until their stomachs hurt. They found Li Ping's disciples very amusing.
Guan Qi said, "I heard before that the sect leader used a written test as the first hurdle to select disciples."
"I thought it was ridiculous at the time, but now it seems pretty good."
"At least the disciples selected have all been educated and are of decent character."
Shaman rolled her eyes at him: "The sect leader isn't even here, so stop flattering him. Haven't you heard that most ungrateful people are scholars?"
Guan Qi looked at her coldly: "I've heard about you. You're an assassin from Invisible Island, and your leader was killed by the sect leader."
"You joined the sect leader's ranks, but who knows what your true intentions are?"
"I'll be watching you. If you make any move, I'll let you try my Innate Body-Piercing Formless Sword Qi..."
Shaman gripped the hilt of his sword, his sword intent surging like a tide: "You really think I'm afraid of you?!"
She arrived earlier than Guan Qi, and her cultivation has greatly improved in the past few months. Apart from Gong Jiu, that freak, she has never been afraid of anyone!
Kou Zhong and his companion exchanged a glance and took two steps back.
They were also curious about the strength of the two protectors, after all, Guan Qi's move of using sword energy from his eyebrows was too bizarre.
Yaoyue said, "Stop fooling around, Guardians. This time, I'd like to trouble you to follow these disciples and record their performance."
"Don't offer help unless it's extremely dangerous."
"But absolutely do not put their lives in danger. You all know how much Li Ping cherishes these disciples."
The Dharma protectors have departed just like that!
Huang Rong said, "Let's go too. What if we can enter the Time Fragment?"
"We all know the benefits of time fragments."
"Besides, it's so boring staying up in the mountains, I also want to go down the mountain for a walk."
Yaoyue said, "But if we all leave, won't we need someone to watch the house?"
Huang Rong laughed and said, "There's not much at home, just some money and secret manuals at most."
"Surely someone wouldn't break into the God-Searching Palace just to steal some money, would they?"
"As for the secret manuals, if he can get past my Qimen formation, he can have any of those C-level and D-level techniques he wants."
"Grade A and Grade B cultivation techniques..."
These techniques are currently only in their minds; they haven't been written down yet!
And so, everyone left!
Not long after, a figure dressed in a Taoist robe stealthily entered the Search for Gods Palace, then shook his pipe: "Ah, nobody's here?"
"Could it be a trap?"
Then, two more old Taoist priests came up the mountain. Seeing the "Taoist" with the pipe, they exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, fellow Taoist, are you also here to seek instruction in Taoist arts at the Sou Shen Palace?"
The "Taoist priest" with the pipe rolled his eyes: "Yes, where did they go?"
