After leaving the villa, Fang ping gave old Wang a call.
In the end, before they even talked about the matter of the sect being sealed off, old Wang said that he was going into closed-door cultivation to break through to upper-stage rank-5 and would probably not come out until the catacombs opened.
This time, Fang ping temporarily gave up on the idea of talking about this.
At the moment, even if they could form a partnership to seal the sect, it would only be beneficial to Fang ping.
Since old Wang was going into closed-door cultivation to break through to upper-stage rank-5, it was not appropriate for Fang ping to mention this matter again.
Ever since his instructor had fallen into the catacombs two years ago, Wang Jinyang had been thinking about it. Now that the opening was near, he had to improve his strength. Naturally, Fang ping could not bring up the matter of helping him.
However, Fang ping was still very surprised that old Wang had broken through to upper-stage rank-5 so quickly.
"Upper-stage rank-5 needs to reconstruct more than 200 meridians in the entire body.
Even if it was one a day, it would still take more than half a year.
Wang Jinyang had returned to nmau after the new year and had broken through to middle-stage rank-5. It had not even been two months since then, and he was already preparing to break through to upper-stage.
Unlike li Hansong, he did not achieve half a golden body in a day.
However, Fang ping would not ask too much about cultivation matters.
Everyone had their own secrets, and it was not good to ask too much.
However ... He could guess a little. It was nothing more than self-mutilation to revive the imperishable substance and to reconstruct the meridians again and again to speed up the process.
……
Fang ping did not think about closing the door anymore. Since Fang ping was prepared to go to Tiannan catacombs, it was his first time going there, so he began to make preparations.
Intelligence was the most basic thing.
Fang ping had collected a lot of information from mcmau, the military department, Zhenxing city, Tiannan martial arts university, and the Tiannan Governor-General's Office. He began to look through the detailed information of the Tiannan catacombs.
The information given by the military department was the most detailed. However, in star suppression city, Fang ping had asked Qin Fengqing to keep in touch with the fat man Jiang Chao, so he had learned some relatively confidential information.
……
In the middle of April, Wu kuishan and the other two took the lead and left for Tiannan.
They were recruited by the military this time and were not considered free martial artists. They had to listen to the military's battle plans.
Once the three of them left, Liu polu also went down to Magic City catacombs. Tiannan's catacombs had opened, and they had to prevent other catacombs from taking the opportunity to attack.
Huang Jing started to take charge of mcmau, just in case.
Among the grandmasters, only old man Li was free and could move as he pleased. However, this old man was also being watched closely by Huang Jing, who forbade him from entering the catacombs.
……
In the library.
At the end of April, Qin Fengqing had also officially stepped into middle-stage rank-5.
At this moment, he was studying Tiannan's catacombs 'information with Fang ping.
"Tiannan catacombs is one of the 23 catacombs in Sino nation. Their strength is not considered too strong. They have a total of 11 cities, two fewer than Magic City catacombs."
"Moreover, the strength of Tiannan catacombs 'fortres...In comparison, they are slightly weaker than Magic City catacombs."
"As for the geographical distribution, it's more or less the same. Back then, the southern Heaven city was also at the edge of the forbidden Sea in the South. To the North was the catacombs 'city, and there were some other cities on the East and West sides. Other than that, there were some Forbidden Lands for monsters and plants. At the end of it, you'll probably be the boundary of the two sides ..."
At this moment, Qin Fengqing was drawing. It had to be said that this fellow was quite good at drawing.
As he spoke, a simple map of Tiannan catacombs appeared in front of Fang ping.
Fang ping also had a map in his hands. This map was provided by the military department.
Qin Fengqing insisted on hand-drawing to deepen his impression. This guy was much more familiar with maps than Fang ping.
As Qin Fengqing drew, he muttered,"There are two world domains! "They're in the East and West. I've asked pudgy Jiang about it. Tiannan's catacombs ... Should be in the southern 11 territories.
If the division of the small domains is a regular order, then one side leads to the ten Southern domains and the other leads to the twelve Southern domains. "
Fang ping darted him a look, frowning slightly."Are you really going to the realmverse?"
"I can't go to the city, and I can't hide my aura. I can't go to the forbidden area, the demonic beasts are too strong. As for the other places ... He didn't know if there were any good things there. There was no one in the precinct, and according to pudgy Jiang, ordinary people couldn't enter it.
If there were good things, there should be more in the world.
I'll take advantage of this battle to sneak over and take a look. Whether there are any benefits or not, we'll know once we take a look. "
Fang ping rapped the table lightly and said,"there are forbidden areas on both the East and West sides. They're similar to Magic City catacombs. It's extremely dangerous to cross them. If you really want to go there, the most convenient way is to walk along the forbidden Sea ... But the forbidden Sea is also extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than a city. "
At this point, Fang ping shook his head."We'll see. The main purpose of my visit this time is to help Wang Jinyang find his mentor ... Even if he's really dead, I hope to find his remains.
"When the catacombs martial artists fight with us ... Most of the time, we collect the spoils of war, kill someone, and bury them on the spot.
Let's see if we can find it. "
The catacombs martial artists and humans had been at war for so many years. Everyone had their own set of rules.
When an enemy died in battle, under normal circumstances, someone would collect the corpse, even if it was incomplete.
However, Zhang Qingnan had not been able to make it out during the mass evacuation. If he had really died, no one would have collected his body.
Therefore, the probability of being buried was higher.
As he said that, Fang ping stretched out his hand and drew a line on the map."Southern Heaven city faces Rose City in the Northwest. The distance between the two is 170 miles. The middle area is not small ... If you want to find someone, you have the highest probability of finding them in this area."
Qin Fengqing raised his head and said,"are you so sure that he's dead?"
He wasn't dead, so he naturally wouldn't stay here.
"What do you think?" Fang ping sighed.
"I think he's dead too. A rank-5 martial artist staying in the catacombs for two years ... He's not me, Qin Fengqing,"
Fang ping could not be bothered with him. After some thought, he said,"Back then, the Yang family's ancestor died while trying to cross regions, which region did he want to cross?"
"He should be going to the ten Southern Territories ..."
As Qin Fengqing spoke, he added,"seven Southern Territory, Magic City catacombs."
Eight Southern Territory, Donglin catacombs.
Nine Southern Territory, Nanjiang catacombs.
Ten Southern Territories, North Lake catacombs.
"I heard that two years ago, there was chaos in the North Lake catacombs. Pudgy Jiang doesn't know the exact situation, but if a Paragon old ancestor wanted to cross regions, he should have to go to the ten Southern Territories. The twelve Southern Territories are the West Ocean catacombs, and there hasn't been much movement in the West Ocean catacombs all these years."
Fang ping exhaled and said,"I asked, is this your first time crossing regions?" Logically speaking, he had been in charge for so many years, so he should have crossed realms before, right? How did I fail this time?"
Qin Fengqing shook his head."I'm not sure about that. Other than those paragons, not many people know about these things."
Hearing that, Fang ping did not ask any more questions and continued to look at the map.
It was not just a map, but also an introduction to some of the cities 'strengths, some of the special products and treasures of Tiannan catacombs, and so on.
"Although we're not going to the catacombs for resources this time, it's still good to be able to get some.
After looking at it for a while, Fang ping said,"I'll prepare my things in the next two days. I'll leave for Tiannan on the 25th. Qin Fengqing, you're free to go wherever you want to go. However, I'll still remind you that your life is in your hands.
"There are many catacombs. If you really want to enter the catacombs, Tiannan isn't the best choice."
"I know."
"It's up to you then. I'll be leaving first. "
Fang ping did not say much. It was Qin Fengqing's freedom to go wherever he wanted. If he really died, he could not blame anyone else.
……
The night of April 24th.
In the dormitory.
Fang ping was packing his things when Chen Yunxi knocked on the door and entered.
After silently helping Fang ping clean up the house, Chen Yunxi bit her lip and suddenly said,""Fang ping, I want to go back to scmau."
Fang ping glanced at her and asked, puzzled,""Go back to see your parents?"
"No... No... I want to return to South Capital for a while. Maybe I won't be back at mcmau for a few months."
"What?"
Chen Yunxi took a deep breath and said,"Before grandfather went to Tiannan, he gave me a call and told me that he left me something that can help me increase my strength. He left it with scmau.
"When I go back this time, I'll first retrieve something ... After that, I want to go to the catacombs in South Capital to gain some experience.
"In mcmau, it'll be very difficult for me to have the opportunity to gain experience again, including Magic city's catacombs. Now, we don't have many opportunities to display our skills.
"Over at South Capital catacombs, the situation isn't as bad as here. High-ranked martial artists rarely make a move, while middle and low-ranked martial artists have more opportunities."
As Fang ping tidied up the documents on the table, he said,"Yun Xi...You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. You're different from us. What we have, you might not have. Whether it's me or li Hansong and the others, we're all different from you ..."
"I know, but I also know that hard work will bring you results."
Chen Yunxi bit her lip and was silent for a moment before she continued,"Senior Brother Qin's talent isn't good, but he still entered middle-stage rank-5 quickly. Although he can't compare to you guys, he's not far behind.
My talent is much better than senior Brother Qin 's, and I also have my grandfather's support. I've been left behind only because I haven't worked hard enough. "
"Martial artists who are close to thrice-honing, even if they're twice or thrice-honed, are no different from others in terms of cultivation when they're in the middle three ranks, other than their advantage in vitality and physique.
"However, the number of times you hone your bones is actually the strength of your talent.
The stronger one's talent was, the more efficient one's absorption and transformation of energy would be. A few times of bone-honing was not just a matter of a higher degree of bone-honing in the three lower ranks.
People like Xie Lei and Chen Yunxi, compared to people like Qin Fengqing, could convert 80% of the pills for their own use, Chen Yunxi could at least convert 70%, and Qin Fengqing ... Could only convert about 50%.
This was the difference in talent. Of course, modern martial artists did not place too much importance on talent.
A higher absorption and conversion efficiency did not mean that one's achievements would be higher than others. Many grandmasters were once-honed martial artists, and many twice-honed martial artists were stuck in the lower three ranks for their entire lives.
Fang ping kept the information, looked at her for a while, and said again,""You've also reached middle-stage rank-4 now. Martial artists at this stage are not as weak as children.
"If I were a rank-9 Paragon, I would definitely say,'don't go, because I can protect you.'
"It's good that you're a vitality martial artist. It doesn't matter if you're weaker.
"But I'm only a rank-6 ... I can't give these promises and guarantees.
If you want to go, then go. Protect yourself well ..."
With that, Fang ping turned around and returned to his room. A moment later, he took out a bag and handed it to her."There are some energy stones and three hundred-honing fruits in here. I have no use for them now, and the hundred-honing fruits have been completely used up. I don't know if it's enough for you to cultivate until peak rank-4.
In addition ... There's also a little bit of life essence. If you're injured, use it sparingly, just use medicinal pills on normal days.
"Go to the logistics department and get more pills. You don't have to rely on your grandfather entirely. After all, he's in charge of scmau. You're not the only descendant of the Chen family.
"Deduct the credits from my side. I have a lot of credits anyway."
"Don't refuse ..."Fang ping said, smiling.
"I didn't refuse," Chen Yunxi said weakly.
Fang ping choked and laughed. "You're quite straightforward. Fine, let's do this. "In addition, go get a set of rank-6 armor and wear it ..."
"Grandpa prepared a set of rank-7 armor for me." Chen Yunxi added softly.
Fang ping was once again at a loss for words. He said angrily,"The next time I'm talking, you're not allowed to interrupt!"
I was just about to show off my manliness, but you ... Your grandfather prepared a rank-7 demonic beast armor for you, is that something to be proud of?
Do you think I don't have it?
Alright, Fang ping indeed did not.
However, his semi-golden body was not necessarily inferior to a rank-7 demonic beast armor. It was more like a rank-8 one.
The armor forged from rank-8 golden-bodied monster's fur was still very useful to him.
Unfortunately, mcmau did not have it.
The old Vice-Chancellor had killed one before, but that leather armor was used to exchange for materials to forge a divine weapon. Ordinary things could not be exchanged for these precious materials, and in the end, Wu kuishan's divine weapon was created.
The guys in Star Town City did have this, but it would be hard for Fang ping to explain himself if he took five of their divine weapons and their armor.
Fang ping said arrogantly,"Your grandfather has only prepared a rank-7 armor. In a few days, I'll give you a rank-8 armor. It won't be a problem even if you lose the set that your grandfather prepared!"
Chen Yunxi's face broke into a bright smile and she nodded quickly. After a moment of hesitation, she whispered,"A seventh-grade armor is also very valuable. It's not good to lose it, right?"
Fang ping was speechless. 'I'm just saying.'
He really knew how to throw!
"Moreover, I'm just saying that rank-8 armor. Those with it can't be delivered, and those without it can't be bought.
"Unless, I kill them myself, or mcmau kills them.
On mcmau's side, only Wu kuishan and old man Li had the ability to do so. It was not suitable for old man Li to make a move. Whether Wu kuishan could kill a rank-8 monster would also depend on his luck.
Fang ping did not say anything more, and Chen Yunxi did not continue either.
After helping Fang ping tidy up his room, Chen Yunxi left Fang Ping's dormitory and returned to her own dormitory. She packed her luggage and prepared to return to scmau overnight.
……
On the dormitory's balcony.
Looking at the somewhat thin figure downstairs, Fang Ping's heart was in a mess.
In this era, it was not enough for female martial artists to support their husbands and raise their children.
At Chen Yunxi's realm, she would also pursue her own martial arts, carry out her own missions, and look for her own opportunities.
This time, he was the one who watched Chen Yunxi leave. Would she be safe if she went to the catacombs in South Capital? Would they encounter danger?
Fang ping did not know!
At this moment, Fang ping suddenly understood how Chen Yunxi felt when she saw him off time and time again.
In the dim light, Chen Yunxi's figure gradually faded away.
The entire dormitory area fell silent.
More and more people left the school in search of their own martial arts opportunities.
Ever since Magic city's catacombs had been sealed off, many people had left the school to go to other catacombs to participate in the battles that belonged to them.
Xie Lei had left. He had been gone for a long time. Fang ping had not seen him since this semester started.
His senior brothers Liang Fenghua, Ye Qing, Liang Huabao, and the others had also gone their separate ways to various catacombs and had yet to return.
Zhao Lei and Fu changding had also achieved rank-4 a few days ago and had left together.
Yang Xiaoman. Fang ping had not seen her for a long time. He did not know if she was in closed-door cultivation or if she had gone to the catacombs.
Zhao Xuemei, who had always been so determined that she did not seem like a woman, had also carried her alloy long staff and left without looking back two days ago. When she was about to leave, Fang ping did not send her off, but just like today, he watched her leave from the balcony.
"The martial artists of this era ..."
At this moment, Fang ping suddenly did not know how to describe it.
Were the martial artists of this era sad?
Perhaps it was sorrowful, but perhaps it was also blissful.
How many people had left and never returned?
And how many people were blooming with brilliant radiance in this era?
It was even more dazzling than the martial artists that had been around for thousands of years!
No martial artist in any era could compare to the modern one!
I'll go even though there are millions of people!
