Chapter 2, The Piggy Bank

They should also be back

"That's right," Wang Cheng agreed.

The poison pill has the same scent.

It is now the hour of the rabbit, and in another quarter of an hour, the effects of the medicine on you will dissipate. At that time, I will administer the medicine to you once more to reinforce its effects

The master did not anticipate it

A crystal-clear mountain peak, radiating a chilling aura of spiritual energy, suddenly appeared

Two ordinary monastic texts

Liu Ping's expression changed, and he said to Wang Cheng with cupped hands: "Then I must thank you, Brother Wang, but this item is not cheap, and I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

I am a true disciple of the Divine Heaven Sect, "Liu Ping" said

A string of copper coins

Your available balance is: 5,462,343,767 spirit stones

Very well

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

"Hahaha, of course, how could I possibly let you down, my dear brother?" Wang Cheng said, feeling completely relaxed and laughing heartily.

Moreover, if others are unable to recognize this elixir, how could Liu Ping himself not know what this elixir is?

What did I say wrong

Haha, I am very pleased that you do not disdain this elixir of mine

Liu Ping has consumed the poison pill; there is certainly no way for him to survive

This made Liu Ping take it seriously.

Liu Ping quickly thought to himself, only to see Wang Cheng take out a pill from his pocket, smiling as he said

Liu Ping looked at Wang Cheng on the ground and spoke

The entire Lingstone Mountain peak instantly vanished without a trace

The elixir is quite good; I have already felt my body recovering faster," Liu Ping praised.

It seemed that until the moment of death arrived, he still could not believe that his final fate was to be crushed to death by a spirit stone mountain

He suddenly recalled the words of that practitioner from before

Due to insufficient funding, this series cannot be initiated

Liu Ping swallowed the poison pill in one bite

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Liu Ping immediately felt a sense of resonance.

If it is indeed the hour of the rabbit, the sky should have already brightened

He was mumbling to himself incessantly

It took no more than a breath's time.

A person has been killed, and the words have been spoken. Liu Ping placed his hand on that peculiar mountain peak

Isn't this just playing with people

I am afraid that the master did not anticipate that upon awakening, he would encounter a person who has returned from the dead, thus finding himself in a perilous situation

I did not expect to be able to cast the spell so quickly

Please note that spiritual stones are the currency used in cultivation, but they are not the funds required to initiate this sequence

This is indeed a strange matter

Liu Ping glanced at the several elixirs.

Not correct

Thank you, Brother Wang

The genuine Control Crane Pill can regenerate flesh from bones, even restoring a shattered dantian, so how could it possibly be in the hands of a martial artist from a small sect?

The cultivators of the Divine Heaven Sect excel in charging into battle and are also skilled in various formations for defense; however, there is no branch related to alchemy within the sect.

These should all be prepared in advance by the master, which is very much in line with Liu Ping's identity as a Qi Refinement disciple of the Baisheng Sect

The two fell into silence simultaneously

Liu Ping immediately recalled, but found that there were no flaws in all the words just spoken

Liu Ping said: "Alright, I will definitely make Brother Wang satisfied"

Wang Cheng looked at the other person, gradually coming to understand.

The soul lamp is naturally bound to the life soul of the practitioner; once the practitioner perishes, the soul lamp extinguishes.

"This is the Crane Controlling Pill, Brother Chen. Would you like to give it a try?" Wang Cheng said with a smile

But it seems that there is no way now

The Liu Ping Hand Technique has undergone a transformation

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

This is not a difficult matter at all

However, the process of making a Soul Lamp is quite complicated, involving dozens of intricate techniques that span across weapon forging, Taoist practices, and divination arts. It also requires a person of exceptional cultivation to personally refine it before it can be lit for the disciples under their tutelage

Although somewhat displeased, as long as he takes this pill, everything will be perfectly fine

Liu Ping quickly checked his storage bag

"In such a beautiful world, you wish to kill me." Liu Ping sighed and looked up at the Spirit Stone Mountain, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face

Everything has returned to normal

Yet the sky remained perpetually dark

"How could one possibly disdain this? This is the Crane Control Pill!" Liu Ping said gratefully, clasping his fists in salute

a knife

Liu Ping's gaze fell into the void, and his thoughts stirred gently

And then there was nothing

Although the situation is currently chaotic and the sect cannot attend to matters for the time being, sooner or later, after his demise, someone will definitely come to check on his condition

Liu Ping said: "I am Chen Shuangyu."

His injuries are further healing

However, the strength of the peak of Qi Refinement...

Daylight will not arrive

At that moment, I immediately inquired what exactly constitutes true "funding"

Nonsense about controlling cranes.

A sudden mutation has occurred

Liu Ping sighed and said, "There is no way to deal with the main force of the demons."

This entity claims to be lacking funds, thus it has continuously invested spirit stones into it, hoping that one day it can be activated, thereby completely altering its fate

Boom

Throughout history, there have indeed been some extraordinary individuals, whose remarkable abilities remain inexplicable to anyone.

In the camp

If the other party possesses supernatural abilities, then there is fundamentally no chance of winning

It is too outrageous

This is actually a mountain peak entirely composed of spirit stones

In the void, several lines of new small text suddenly appeared

In fact, it is nothing much. Most of the disciples of our Divine Heaven Sect are sword cultivators and knife-wielders, often charging to the frontlines, resulting in casualties that are more severe than those of ordinary sects. The soul lamps of the Soul Hall have already extinguished thirty percent.

Having come to a realization at this moment, Wang Cheng released his grip on the storage bag and murmured, "It will soon be dawn..."

Only the last sentence "It is almost dawn"

Therefore

Wang Cheng sighed and said, "You really are unfortunate"

Wang Cheng had long since passed away, yet his eyes remained wide open in defiance.

However, if one is to immediately engage in battle and compete with a strange corpse, there is still a long way to go

Liu Ping slightly squinted his eyes

The sky is still dark, yet it is already the hour of the rabbit

The outer layer of the elixir, with its dark green fragrance, has just begun to dissolve

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

Wang Cheng hesitated and said, "This... is not good, right..."

After all, the outer layer of this elixir is genuine Control Crane Pill, while the true poison pill is wrapped inside, requiring some time to take effect

As soon as he heard the phrase "It is almost dawn," this person was immediately ready to take his own life, showing no consideration for whether he might be deceived, as if he were completely possessed.

Not long ago, after accumulating 5,462,343,767 and the * picture * book spirit stones, this object issued a new prompt to itself

Wang Cheng seems to have encountered some difficulties, frowning as he contemplates something

"Heavenly God Sect, so you are a disciple of a prestigious sect," Wang Cheng exclaimed.

Various magical formations surrounded the vast cemetery, at which point they simultaneously unleashed their magical power, nullifying all fluctuations

the hour of the rabbit

Apart from crushing Wang Cheng to death

Only one answer is obtained

The conversation is concluded

Wang Cheng's aura changed, and his gaze became tinged with a few more traces of coldness

On the battlefield, one can only be considered a mere pawn, utterly ineffective

However, the poison pill is an egg of a magical insect that can transform a person into a certain terrifying puppet

You did not mention it earlier, but only after I have worked hard for several decades did you bring it up

Then I should settle the bill, please give me the amount.

If he wants to pay, then let him pay

The thick one is the external control crane pill, while the light one is the internal poison pill

Please continue to raise funds

"Brother Chen, I have a few excellent healing pills here. Since the beginning of the war, I have been reluctant to consume them. I just took one, and all my injuries have healed. Now that we are enduring hardships together, I will generously give you one. You should give it a try; it is guaranteed to be remarkably effective."

No!

Indeed, it is a grand display of elegance that commands admiration, Wang Cheng sighed

My own injury is healing rapidly; as long as I do not move, it hardly hurts at all

Liu Ping stored the elixir in his storage bag and casually formed a hand seal in front of Wang Cheng's corpse

Liu Ping also possesses a soul lamp

At this moment, if one follows his gaze, one can see several imposing characters carved on the front of Spirit Stone Mountain:

Please fully enjoy the pleasure of exploration

With Chen Shuangyu's strength, no matter how many methods he possesses, they are still insufficient in the face of the main forces of the demons and monsters

Wang Chenghao said boldly: "Brother, I trust you, just do as you see fit."

Moreover, no matter how he asked later, he never received any answer

However, during this process, Chen Shuangyu will first sense the healing effects of the elixir

But why

Liu Ping slightly shifted his body on the stretcher, resting his hand on the storage bag at his waist, and then spoke: "Everyone is dead, only I have survived—after all, my defensive measures were the most extensive, which is truly a stroke of luck"

Wang Chenggen had no time to react before being crushed under the mountain

Therefore, it is often only the prestigious sects that have dedicated Soul Halls for placing soul lamps

If I were truly Chen Shuangyu, I would have the protection of the elders behind me, countless hidden cards at my disposal, and a soul lamp illuminating my fate at all times

Uncertain of the other party's true intentions, Liu Ping could only use this roundabout approach to advise them against harboring any ulterior motives

A coffin floated over and landed steadily in front of Wang Cheng

You have reclaimed this Spirit Stone Mountain again

"Controlling the Crane Pill!" Liu Ping said with emotion

Under the Golden Elixir, whoever is suppressed shall perish, it is extremely effective

The poison has not yet manifested.

a few spirit stones

A few pitiful fasting pills

As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Cheng's corpse floated up and landed steadily in the coffin.

The reason I have not torn my face apart is simply because I have suddenly awakened and there are still many things I have not clarified

It is indeed difficult for Wang Cheng, who, wary of the non-existent self-defense methods in Chen Shuangyu's hands, devised a scheme to kill using poison pills

Unfortunately

In the void, two lines of small text appeared

Moreover

Liu Pinghun was indifferent, opening his mouth to spit out a pill and placing it in his hand

However

You must have many secrets, but my injuries have not healed, my strength has been completely lost, and I still need to clean the bloodstains from the spirit stone. I truly do not have the time to take it slow with you

Moreover, those two cultivators could return at any moment

Swallowing the poison pill, solely to make Wang Cheng lower his guard

You withdrew 200 million spirit stones from the piggy bank, forming a mountain of spirit stones

From beginning to end, this mountain, entirely composed of spirit stones, existed for only a brief moment, before vanishing into nothingness like a dream

The martial arts practitioner clasped his fists and said: "I am Wang Cheng, a disciple of the Lu Yun Sect"

Moreover, the other party is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it is possible that they have even developed supernatural abilities

Wang Cheng nodded slightly and tossed the elixir to Liu Ping

Note: Ling Stone is a basic currency in the cultivation realm, which can be circulated within the cultivation world

Yes, dawn is approaching," Liu Ping responded.

In the void, the flickering characters unfolded before his eyes, transforming into a line of small text

In light of your excessive investment of spirit stones, this sequence makes an exception to enable the 'piggy bank' function for you, allowing you to deposit and withdraw spirit stones at any time

This experience allows one to directly perceive the present

Is there anything wrong with this

It is nothing short of a miracle that he was able to survive

In the past, when I first obtained this thing, I thought it was some remarkable supernatural power

The Spirit Stone Mountain fell from the sky, violently colliding with the earth, sending clouds of dust soaring into the air like a colossal creature

As if nothing had happened

Is it possible that ... ...

Indeed, it is the virtue of a prestigious sect to prefer spending a little money rather than allowing themselves to be associated with practitioners of lesser sects.

After all, some foundation-building cultivators possess supernatural abilities, which can occasionally lead to many unforeseen variables

A moment

As a disciple of the divination sage, proficient in the six arts, anything I do can earn me a substantial amount of spiritual stones

He intended to kill him, but he mistakenly believed that he was trying to ingratiate himself with him

The next moment

Liu Ping interrupted him, saying: "Brother Wang, I am someone who dislikes being in debt to others the most; it is still more reassuring to buy things with money."

The coffin closed and slowly sank into the ground

You can access it at any time

In fact, the entire elixir was swallowed and immediately enveloped by spiritual energy

Wang Cheng was instantly overjoyed

Before me lay the elixir, a vibrant crimson hue, with a golden thread emerging from within, forming a halo of misty light on the surface of the pill, presenting quite an appealing appearance

However, Wang Cheng shook his neck slightly, casually placed his hand on the storage bag, and asked: "Brother Chen, as a true disciple, you should have some means of self-defense. Why have you fallen to such a state?"

This answer is very easy to deduce, but

Brother Wang, I am quite a lazy person. You see, this mountain was built by me during my foundation establishment period while I was traveling outside. To avoid conflicts with fellow cultivators of the same level, I specifically piled up spirit stones to create this mountain... At that time, I was still young, full of many whimsical ideas about the future, and I engaged in numerous reckless experiments, unlike the current state of being dispirited and uninteresting.

Liu Ping could not help but sigh inwardly

This elixir appears to resemble the Control Crane Pill, yet it emits two streams of elixir energy, one dense and one light
