The next morning, he pushed open the bedroom window. The various fragrances that had been mixed and precipitated for the night immediately spread out.
As the slightly cold air swept in, the wife and concubines who were curled up like kittens woke up one after another. Their fair skin was exceptionally crystalline and enchanting, and their black hair was scattered on the bed like a waterfall.
Shen Ping leaned against the window and was about to turn around to admire this scene when he saw Pei Huoyu walking out of the quiet room. She looked over and stood in the small courtyard.
Soon, Shen Ping walked out of the hall and cupped his hands. “Senior Pei.”
Pei Huoyu nodded. The two of them came to a stone pavilion not far away and sat down. After taking out the spiritual tea leaves and brewing two cups, A smile appeared on Pei Huoyu’s face. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you really surprised me in this trial assessment.” As she spoke, she cupped her hands at Shen Ping for the first time. “Congratulations on getting first place!”
“I was just lucky.” Shen Ping replied humbly.
However, Pei Huoyu shook her head and said seriously, “There’s no luck in the trial assessment. No matter what methods you use, it’s your own strength to be able to reach the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Fellow Daoist Shen, not only do we cultivators have to dare to fight for the first place, but we also have to dare to bear the glory that we deserve! You’re at the top of the list. There’s no doubt about that.”
Shen Ping was stunned. He looked at Pei Huoyu’s gaze and finally said slowly, “1’11 remember Senior Pei’s reminder.”
The two of them chatted for a while. Pei Huoyu then mentioned Perfected Yun Ya. Shen Ping was delighted. “Senior Pei, is it true that Perfected Yun Ya is about to return?”
He was able to master the control and use of the power of the talisman beast diagram in such a short period of time thanks to the jade slip left behind by Perfected Yun Ya.
If he could return, moreover, if he were to guide him, he believed that the speed at which he comprehended the remaining five spirit runes would definitely be much faster. Once he completely comprehended the 12 special spirit runes, regardless of whether it was the Green Talisman Sutra or the Talisman Beast Scripture, his progress would increase rapidly.
The main thing that restricted him now was the foundation of the Talisman Scripture.
“It’s true. The commotion caused by your trial this time is not small. The treatment will naturally be different, and I was the one who hired Perfected Yun Ya to guide you. No one will let him return to the headquarters in the future.”
Pei Huoyu took a sip of the spirit tea and continued, “With Perfected Yun Ya’s guidance, your future path in the Dao of Talismans will be easier.”
Shen Ping smiled and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Senior Pei, if 1 want my wife and concubines to build their foundations as soon as possible without damaging their foundation, which restricted resource is the most suitable?”
“The Seabeard Ginseng Leaf will do. It’s a medium-grade restricted resource. It’s even effective on Nascent Soul cultivators. After you exchange it for a Seabeard Ginseng Leaf, you can split it into dozens of portions and soak it in diluted spirit liquid. Let your wife and concubines take a drop every day. After taking it for half a year, they can easily build their foundation.” Pei Huoyu said casually.
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands. “Thank you for telling me, Senior Pei.”
“A thousand-year-old Spirit Heart Fruit is also very important. No matter how serious your injuries are, as long as you’re still breathing, you can recover to your original state after taking one. It’s equivalent to an additional life for a cultivator. If you’re still at the top of the rankings half a year later, remember to leave it for yourself.” Pei Huoyu finished the spiritual tea in one gulp and walked out of the stone pavilion.
Shen Ping’s gaze subconsciously landed on Perfected Pei’s back, as if he wanted to see through the deepness of the curve that spread to the smooth ridge under the light armor.
The Golden Core was extraordinary. He had seen the depth of Perfected Qiu. He knew very well that the rock folds that had accumulated over the years were still crystal clear. However, just as his imagination was running wild, Pei Huoyu suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around. Their gazes intertwined. Shen Ping hurriedly retracted his gaze as if he had a guilty conscience.
Tap, tap, tap.
Pei Huoyu walked back to the stone pavilion. Shen Ping hurriedly coughed a few times and said, “Senior Pei, is there anything else?”
“What were you looking at?”
“I’m admiring the spiritual herbs in the medicinal field.”
“What spiritual herb?”
“Autumn Chrysanthemum.”
Pei Huoyu frowned slightly. “Autumn Chrysanthemum? There’s such a spiritual herb in the medicinal field?”
Shen Ping said seriously, “I haven’t planted it for the time being, but the Autumn Chrysanthemum is a spiritual herb with an extremely high medicinal value. It blooms like a golden flower and can withstand wind and frost. It’s also not afraid of the cold. I plan to let my wife buy some to plant.”
Pei Huoyu stared into Shen Ping’s eyes and said indifferently, “I thought Fellow Daoist Shen was looking at pink skin. 1 didn’t expect you to be admiring the unplanted autumn chrysanthemums. In that case, 1 was overthinking.”
Shen Ping:”…”
Pei Huoyu left again. He tried to send a voice transmission, “Senior Pei, the physical body that you mentioned earlier…”
“It still counts.”
A voice transmission sounded in his ears.
Shen Ping’s eyes lit up.
Dozens of days passed.
True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters.
Mountain Fire Hall.
Jing Yu looked at the majestic figure in front of him and bowed respectfully. “Master, I’m useless in the trial assessment.”
Mountain Fire Hall Master sighed in his heart. He did not mention the trial these days because he did not want to put too much pressure on this new genius disciple, but he was still affected.
“Disciple, I once said that your comprehension speed in the Talisman Scripture is rare in the world. As long as you maintain it, it’s only a matter of time before you advance to Class A core. You don’t have to take the ranking in this trial to heart. With your talent, you’ll be able to enter the top three of the Hidden Dragon Ranking sooner or later!”
Jing Yu’s heart sank slightly. He remembered that his master had said some time ago that he would definitely be able to reach the top of the rankings. “Yes, Master. I will definitely do my best to comprehend the Talisman Scripture and strive to reach the top as soon as possible!”
Mountain Fire Hall Master smiled gently and said, “Disciple, it’s a good thing to have confidence. 1 also firmly believe in this. Remember not to be disturbed by the outside world. Calm down and comprehend. After some time, when you go to the Talisman Scripture Pavilion, you can continue the trial assessment.”
“Yes, Master. 1’11 take my leave.”
He watched as Jing Yu left. Mountain Fire Hall Master shook his head helplessly. The gap between the top 20 and the first place was huge. No matter how much he thought highly of his disciple, he knew that it would be very difficult for him to catch up in a short period of time.
“Geniuses are proud to the core. I hope he can withstand the pressure this time and face the difficulties!”
Fire Toad Cave.
The flying ship with the unique logo of the True Treasure Pavilion drove quickly. Perfected Yun Ya stood at the edge of the flying ship. Looking down at the scenery of the mountains and rivers that kept passing by below, his emotions fluctuated.
“Lord Perfected, do you want to inform the True Treasure Pavilion in advance to welcome you at the main station of the Linhai Immortal City?” The envoy in charge of the flying ship said respectfully.
Perfected Yun Ya waved his hand gently. “No need.”
He came back this time mainly to teach Shen Ping the basics of the Talisman Beast Scripture and the comprehension of the Talisman Beast Scripture. Before he came, his master had specially instructed him to do his best.
The pressure in his words made Perfected Yun Ya not dare to delay at all. He set off on the same day, but during the journey, he figured out the deeper meaning in his master’s words.
Boom.
The flying ship was as fast as lightning. It took more than two hours to arrive at the Linhai Immortal City in the Northern Rock Marsh Region. It landed on the spiritual peak where he had lived previously.
There were already two figures in the pavilion halfway up the mountain. A warm smile appeared on Perfected Yun Ya’s refined and easy-going face.
“Senior Yun Ya.”
“Talisman Master Shen.”
They exchanged a few pleasantries. The three of them arrived at a room in the Spirit Peak Palace. After sitting cross-legged on the mat, Perfected Yun Ya took out a jade slip and handed it to Shen Ping. “Talisman Master Shen, this jade slip contains some simple information about the Beast Scripture.”
Shen Ping’s divine sense seeped into the jade slip. After reading it, a trace of shock appeared on his face.
Perfected Yun Ya continued, “The Beast Scripture is the core of the many scriptures in True Treasure Pavilion. It contains the four levels. The beast form, beast skin, beast bone, and beast blood. The power that can be unleashed at each level has an intrinsic transformation and improvement.
“The Talisman Beast Scripture you cultivate and comprehend is a talisman technique that has evolved from it. If you can completely master four levels, you will stand at the top of the five continents and four seas.
“Currently, among the core Class A members of the headquarters, the one who has cultivated the most has already comprehended the second volume of the beast bone. The lowest in the top loo of the Glory Ranking is the third volume of the beast skin.”
After hearing this, Shen Ping could not help but think to himself that the difference between the core members of the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Glory Ranking was indeed not small.
“Under normal circumstances, if you want to enter the Glory Ranking, you have to at least comprehend the beast skin.
“However, you’re different. You only comprehended the first volume of the beast form and passed the third level of the trial. I think you have extraordinary methods in the Dao of Talismans. If not for this, I wouldn’t have told you about the Beast Scripture in advance. Generally, new cores need to wait for a review and evaluation before there are special members to teach them.”
Shen Ping looked up in confusion and said, “Senior Yun Ya, you mean…”
