Chapter 196 Strength!

Chang Pingan is an inconspicuous member of the many disciples of the Chang family. He is only at the fourth level of Qi refining and is about thirty years old.

On this day, he was searching for something in a palace.

The place where Chang Ping'an searched was exactly where the three leaders of the "Three Python Thieves" were.

When the shadow lurking in the depths saw Chang Pingan entering this place, his eyes suddenly flashed and he sneaked out quietly.

There is the power of the demonic species to cover the aura, coupled with the foundation-building level of divine consciousness and mana.

These Qi-refining stage things couldn't detect him at all.

This shadow is none other than Qingchen.

Seeing Chang Ping'an stepping into the place he designed, Qingchen immediately summoned the White Bone Demon Luo Banner.

He waved lightly, and a breathtaking power suddenly enveloped Chang Ping'an.

Chang Pingan felt his mind was in a trance, as if being pulled by an invisible force, he was walking in one direction involuntarily.

Finally, Chang Pingan stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary wall.

He reached out his hand in a daze and knocked lightly on the wall, "Hey, there's a problem!"

This discovery made him sober for a moment, and he felt an inexplicable surprise in his heart.

Seeing that he had finally found the hidden secret, Qingchen waved his hand gently, and the power of the magic flag quietly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Chang Pingan's heart beat faster, as if he had discovered the door to a new world.

He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he began to explore in this seemingly ordinary room.

After some exploration, he discovered that this was actually a mortal mechanism technique, and he had studied it before.

His eyes scanned the room, finally settling on a vase.

The vase is incompatible with the surrounding environment and looks extremely abrupt.

How come there is a vase in the room of a bandit leader?

He tried to gently rotate the vase, but unexpectedly, this rotation triggered the mechanism.

Just hearing a "bang", the wall slowly opened, and a stone door suddenly appeared in front of you.

Immediately afterwards, a huge dragon-breaking stone bounced open, revealing the space inside.

Chang Pingan couldn't wait to step into this newly discovered room, and everything in front of him made his eyes light up.

The room is not big but well organized.

On a simple table, there are three items:

An animal skin scroll, a broken jade pendant, and a shimmering jade slip.

"Isn't this just a treasure map? I've made a great contribution! Let's see who dares to look down on me, Chang Ping'an!"

These items looked particularly mysterious in the dim light, filling Chang Pingan's heart with anticipation.

Just as he was about to explore, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

It was Qingchen who used the power of the demon seed to attract monks from the Liu family and the Cao family.

Liu Dahe from the Liu family and Cao Liang from the Cao family came hand in hand and entered the room one after the other.

Liu Dahe is at the fourth level of Qi Refining. He has a tall body and a sinewy face, which makes him look quite fierce. Holding a mid-grade flying sword, it exuded a sharp aura;

Cao Liang is at the third level of Qi Refining. He is thin and has a sinister look in his eyes, showing a bit of cunning. He is holding a low-grade flying sword.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Chang Pingan and the three treasures.

"Hey, isn't this Chang Ping'an from the Chang family? Why, do you want to get a share of the pie?" Liu Dahe's tone was full of contempt,

"You alone are worthy of competing with us? If you are wise, get out of here, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

Chang Pingan's heart was filled with anger. He didn't know when a medium-grade magic weapon, a flying fork, appeared in his hand. The tip of the fork shone with a cold light.

"I discovered this treasure map first, so you can't get your hands on it!"

Liu Dahe sneered, and the middle-grade flying sword in his hand turned into a ray of cold light and went straight to Chang Ping'an's throat.

Not to be outdone, Cao Liang moved strangely around Chang Ping'an, his low-grade flying sword flashing with a faint light, intending to make a sneak attack.

Chang Ping'an dodged slightly and skillfully avoided Cao Liang's fatal blow.

At the same time, he waved the flying fork in his hand and collided with Liu Dahe's middle-grade flying sword, making a crisp metallic sound.

Sparks flew everywhere, and spiritual energy surged.

"Hmph, you guys also want to seize the treasure? What a dream!"

Chang Pingan roared angrily, and the spiritual power surged in his body, and the flying fork seemed to turn into a living thing in his hand, extremely flexible.

While dealing with the attacks from the two men, he was looking for a breakthrough.

But in the end they were outnumbered.

Under the combined attack of the two, Cao Liang discovered a flaw in Chang Ping'an's offensive.

He seized the opportunity, and with a flash of his body, he appeared behind Chang Pingan in an instant, and the flying sword pierced his back with lightning speed.

Chang Pingan sensed the crisis and hurriedly turned to defend, but it was too late.

The tip of the low-grade flying sword had pierced his body-protecting aura, leaving a wound deep enough to show the bone.

"Ah!" Chang Pingan screamed, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, the sound of fighting alerted the monks outside.

Someone exclaimed: "There is movement over there, go and take a look!"

Subsequently, more monks were attracted, including several strong men in the late stage of Qi refining.

Several people, headed by housekeeper Chang Wan, frowned as they looked at the mess in front of them.

Qingchen, hidden in the shadows.

When he saw that things were developing according to his own ideas, he left quietly.

What is the most important thing to Qingchen now?

It’s not about coercing the four islands.

Not even a marriage with the in-law family.

It's strength!

The Spider-Eating Yuan Formation could no longer keep up with Qingchen's needs.

Su Zixuan has been immersed in the secret arts for more than ten years, and has already gained some knowledge of the two array secret arts.

As long as the materials are sufficient, with the help of Qingchen, she is confident that she can refine the ‘Soul of Resentment’ of the foundation-building level!

Thus, she can make the Spider-Snake Devouring Yuan Array Flag of the foundation-building level!

Of course, this may require thousands of mortals, or more than a hundred Qi-refining cultivators, or the souls of foundation-building cultivators.

However, compared with improving strength, these are nothing.

But if you want to kill them one by one, how long will it take to kill them? It is also easy to alert the enemy.

Qingchen has a better way.

Moreover, in the three years of Ningxuan Sect, Qingchen had longed for the ‘Life Corpse Dao’ in the “Xuanyin Refining Ba Secret Art”.

Thinking of being able to control the life corpse qi, achieve extraordinary magical powers, and a body with the strength of a corpse.

However, in the three years of practicing in Ningxuan Sect, whenever he tried to step into the threshold of the ‘Life Corpse Dao’.

The mana of the “Brahma Refining Demon Art” in his body would be inexplicably blocked.

It was as if two completely different forces were repelling each other, making him miserable.

He realized that if he continued to practice the "Life Corpse Dao", he might go astray!

In desperation, Qingchen had to give up this path.

Instead, he chose the "Ming Wang Jing" as a body-tempering technique to draw evil spirits into the body.

In order to temper the body, strengthen the essence and blood, and improve strength.

Despite this, Qingchen did not completely give up the "Xuan Yin Refining Ba Secret Art".

He turned his attention to the "Corpse Puppet Dao" and planned to refine a batch of hairy zombies and armored corpses.
