Chapter 278: Protect the sect’s foundation and comprehend the Yin-Yang Heavenly Absolute Formation!

Among the honey that Qi Ping gave to Old Man Zhou, the most common one was the kind that nourishes the soul, body, and improves one's qualities.

The reason why that kind of honey can improve qualifications is because of the Ripple Tree.

The ripple fruit of the ripple tree was originally used to improve the cultivation of water-attribute practitioners and enhance their aptitude for water-attribute cultivation. However, due to the strong medicinal properties of the ripple fruit, it is not suitable for Qi-refining cultivators like Old Man Zhou.

But after being studied and diluted by the bees, they actually created a kind of honey that can enhance one's aptitude for practicing wood attributes!

Not only did Qi Ping himself take some of this honey, the most important thing was that Qi Ping saw the hope of Old Man Zhou's advancement to the foundation-building stage!

So Qi Ping began to cleanse Zhou's bones and marrow and research a technique suitable for Zhou's wood spiritual roots. From then on, Zhou embarked on the path of continued cultivation.

"I'll find a magical medicine for Old Man Zhou later that can greatly improve his cultivation aptitude!"

This kind of elixir may be difficult for Qi Ping to obtain now, but if he successfully reaches the Jindan stage, it will be much easier.

"Also, Sister Nan once said that she had obtained the cave of [Spiritual Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter], and Sister Nan also said that the enemy can only be defeated in the Jindan stage. After the Jindan stage, we will settle this cause and effect together!"

Qi Ping still remembered that Sister Nan said this in a joking tone, so Qi Ping guessed that Sister Nan’s enemy was at most in the Foundation Establishment stage, not to mention after the Golden Core stage, which he could easily solve now.

However, Qi Ping was not in a hurry about this matter. He would wait until he was more stable after the Jindan stage and then he could deal with the two things at once.

[Spiritual Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter] In the early stages, it played a vital role in his growth. Soon after, even the formula for the blood-devouring medicine liquid of the Demon Insect King came from here.

So Qi Ping would naturally not be stingy with things like this that could be easily solved for him.

When this matter is over, the cause and effect between him and Sister Nan will be completely resolved.

After having a meal with Old Man Zhou in the Yunwu Mountains, Qi Ping set off for Xingyun City.

Ever since he beat up his senior brother Lu Ming from the Law Enforcement Hall in front of everyone in Xingyue City and forcibly took away his natal sword, the atmosphere in the entire Xingyue City has become more subtle.

The black market forces that originally had some ulterior motives have now all ceased their activities, and are so obedient that they dare not even breathe, and can only seek help from the protective umbrella behind them again.

However, compared to the Falling Star City, which posed no danger to Qi Ping, the most crucial thing was that after Lu Ming of the Law Enforcement Hall was beaten up by Qi Ping, the entire Qingyuan Sect was almost speechless, and undercurrents began to surge.

The impact of the picture brought by the photo stone was too shocking. Lu Ming, the famous Law Enforcement Hall in the sect, was captured and beaten in just a few breaths!
Although Qi Ping seemed to be seriously injured, the strength, battle instinct, decisiveness and ruthlessness he displayed frightened almost all the Qingyuan Sect disciples who were still in the foundation-building stage. Even several talented disciples whose reputations were no less than Lu Ming found Qi Ping extremely difficult to deal with.

Even the two core disciples who had already achieved the state of condensing golden elixir also paid attention to Qi Ping, the rising star.

This time, Qi Ping's reputation in Qingyuan Sect was not just fame, but it completely established his unshakable position among the many talented disciples in Qingyuan Sect.

However, the most crucial thing now is the attitude of the Jindan level towards Qi Ping, which will completely determine Qi Ping's fate in the sect.

According to Qi Ping's understanding, among the current senior leaders of Qingyuan Sect, the most important one is a supreme elder at the Nascent Soul level.

In the case of whether there are any surviving Nascent Soul ancestors in Qingyuan Sect, he is currently the sect's highest decision-maker. However, Qi Ping's current events have not risen to the level of his concern. Sometimes, even Jindan-level matters may not be intervened by this supreme elder, let alone someone like Qi Ping.

Among the current Jindan high-level leaders of Qingyuan Sect, after years of development, there are basically three interest groups, namely the conservative faction, the neutral faction and the radical faction.

The Conservatives uphold the orthodoxy of the Qingyuan Sect and are the sect with the purest mindset. They control the Qingyuan Sect's protective formation and the most important protective magic weapon.

The Qingyuan Sect has inherited a great formation for protecting the sect for more than ten thousand years. It can even kill a Nascent Soul when it bursts out with all its strength! However, because it has extremely high spirituality and special restrictions, only those with a mind that has passed many tests are qualified to take charge. Even the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Qingyuan Sect are not qualified to take charge.

The reason why the radicals dare not violate the sect's rules is because of the existence of this faction.

This also directly affected the radicals' fear of taking action against Qi Ping openly, because if they really dared to do so, no one could predict what the conservatives would do in order to maintain the sect's rules.

The conservative faction only has three Jindan monks left in this generation, and their strength is the weakest among the three interest groups. However, because they control the super weapon of the sect protection formation, they have a high say in the sect rules and the long-term development of the sect. The radical faction has a radical style of behavior. They can do anything to get resources, such as pretending to be a robbery cultivator to plunder the monks of Qingtian Realm, all for the sake of becoming immortal!
The radical faction has a total of seven Jindan cultivators and the largest number of disciples. They are currently the most powerful existence in Qingyuan Sect and control a total of three magical treasures that protect the sect.

The radicals are divided into three factions, and there are considerable disputes among them. Currently, those who framed Qi Ping belong to the radicals, and the people behind the Falling Star City also belong to the radicals.

The neutral faction controls the two magic weapons that protect Qingyuan Sect. They are two-faced and unwilling to go along with the three major factions, but they are also unable to keep their hearts clean and upright. They just go with the flow every day.

This sect currently has four Jindan monks.

If they support the conservatives, the conservatives will be more powerful than the radicals.

If they support the radicals, the power of the conservatives will become extremely weak.

However, because currently only the conservative faction is qualified to be in charge of the sect protection formation, if they are killed, the Qingyuan Sect's sect protection formation will be completely out of control. This is a rule established when the sect was first founded to ensure that the sect will not be harmed by villains or used by individuals.

It is precisely because of this rule that the Qingyuan Sect has been able to survive for more than ten thousand years! It is also the real trump card that has enabled the entire sect to survive for ten thousand years!

However, as the power of the conservative faction continues to weaken, its influence is also decreasing. Currently, most of the important positions in the sect are controlled by the radical faction, followed by the neutral faction. The conservative faction has the fewest positions in the sect.

The attitudes and compromises among these three interest groups determine the direction of the entire Qingyuan Sect's policies, which is also the reason why the Qingyuan Sect's external behavior cannot be completely unified.

The existence of the conservative faction is one of the bases of Qi Ping's plan.

The reason why Qi Ping violently beat up Lu Ming, the eldest senior brother of the Law Enforcement Hall not long ago was that he was sure that as long as he did not violate the sect rules, the radicals could not do anything to him.

But if he chooses to kill such a core figure, even the conservatives may not be able to protect him.

Qi Ping was also unwilling to let his plan fail for such a small role.

Two months later, Starfall City.

Qi Ping, who was surrounded by Yin and Yang spiritual energy, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of strong joy in his eyes!
"The Yin-Yang Heavenly Absolute Formation has been successfully deployed!"

Now all he lacks is the Five Elements Life and Death Formation!
Then, after waking up, Qi Ping looked at the communication talisman again, which contained various recent information about Qingyuan Sect.

After taking a few glances, Qi Ping found that there was still no comment on his beating of Lu Ming from the Law Enforcement Hall.

"After such a long time, the sect has chosen to remain silent about Lu Ming being beaten. It seems that the three major factions have temporarily compromised."

"It's just that there have been rumors recently that the three major factions seem to have made some unusual movements recently. I just don't know if it's targeting me. To be on the safe side, it seems that I still have to comprehend the Five Elements Life and Death Formation as soon as possible. However, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Absolute Formation can be set up first, so that even if there is any emergency, I can have a trump card to deal with it."

"I hope I can hold on until I fully comprehend the Five Elements Birth and Death Formation!"

Qi Ping is now trapped in Xingyue City and cannot move forward or backward. After the last beating of the Law Enforcement Hall, Qi Ping discovered that the existence behind Xingyue City seems to be joining forces with the guys behind the Mission Hall to deal with him.

If Qi Ping sat there and waited for death, the only thing that would await him would be destruction, and he would completely lose the hope of entering Qingyuan Sect and gaining the knowledge to break through the Jindan stage.

So now there is only one way left for Qi Ping, which is to make the matter bigger, and use the sect rules of Qingyuan Sect and the duties of the garrison commander to successfully massacre the city and kill a Jindan monk.

However, whether he can successfully kill the Jindan cultivator who has come, and whether the conservative faction will choose to continue to play cowardly or protect him and let him soar to the sky, are all still unknown.

However, at this point, if Qi Ping wants to join the core of Qingyuan Sect, he has no other choice. If the conservative faction does not come forward, Qi Ping will never be able to get in due to the obstruction of the three major factions. He will also not be able to obtain the cultivation knowledge that Qi Ping has been dreaming of, which is an indispensable part of his path to immortality.

However, as long as he sticks to his original intention and abides by the sect rules this time, and eliminates an important force from the three major factions, thereby demonstrating his extraordinary aptitude in building the foundation and slaying the golden elixir, he will have a greater chance of gaining the support of the conservative and neutral factions and climbing up.
