Chapter 218 - 218: Your Most Attractive Aspect (1)
She revealed her beautiful and mysterious scenery.
These words were about to come out of her mouth.
In the end, Pei Huoyu did not say anything. Although she did not care about her physical appearance, she was too embarrassed to tell such a secret.
Cultivators transcended mortality and pursued the Great Dao of longevity. However, the seven emotions and six desires of the human world still controlled the emotions of most cultivators. She had yet to reach the realm of forgetting everything, and the shame in her heart was still there.
Li Yin looked at the embarrassed Pei Huoyu and his expression softened a little. He said earnestly, “Junior Sister, you’ve always had your own persistence and won’t easily be convinced by others. Master knows this very well, so he asked me to come over.
“What I said just now is a little heavy, but it’s mainly for your future. In the True Treasure Pavilion, including the cultivation world of the five continents and four seas, resources surpass everything. The gap between each realm of the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation is huge, and the A-rankcore represents resources!
“Now, the various halls in the headquarters have sent their core members to the Linhai Immortal City. Their goal is to rope in Talisman Master Shen. I even heard that many higher-ups of the Hall Masters are already using their connections to want to replace you as a Dao Protector!”
Pei Huoyu’s valiant face was suddenly shocked. “Senior Brother, a-are they really going to use such a method?”
Li Yin nodded and sighed. “Talisman Master Shen’s return to the Hidden Dragon Rankings this time has caused too much commotion in the headquarters. He passed the fourth level of the trial with just the first volume of the beast form, which means that he has comprehended the ultimate beast form. The Talisman Master Jing Yu accepted by the Hall Master can be said to be monstrous in terms of Talisman Dao talent. Yet such a genius was not too rare in the past. But it is extremely rare for one to comprehend the ultimate beast form like Shen Ping!”
He felt rather helpless and continued, “So not to mention Master, even if the Hall Master personally came out, it would be difficult to suppress it. It’s precisely because of this that Master asked me to come over. I’m afraid that your personality can’t get along with Talisman Master Shen.
“I also reminded you last time. I originally thought that Junior Sister could handle it well, but in the end… Fortunately, I came personally. Otherwise, if you continued to have mental problems, you would most likely lose your status as a Dao Protector.”
Pei Huoyu immediately felt a heavy pressure. If she had left the headquarters in the beginning, she would not have cared about her identity as a Dao Protector at all. However, it was different now.
Whether it was the overall situation of the Mountain Fire Hall or the companionship she had with him for six to seven years, she did not want to leave easily. Thinking of the Blood Infant Crystal on her, she forced a smile and said, “Senior Brother, I-I will adjust my mental state as soon as possible.”
Li Yin could not help but heave a sigh of relief. As long as his junior sister could stabilize herself, it would be more difficult for the higher-ups of the other halls to change his Dao Protector.
In the pavilion on the mountainside, Perfected Yun Ya stood in front of the jade table and casually drew out the two special spirit runes, the channel rune and the life rune. After stopping the brush, he said elegantly and amiably, “You’ve already familiarized yourself with the secret of the channel rune. In another two to three months, you’ll be able to completely grasp it. Among the twelve basic special spirit runes, the life rune is the most difficult. It doesn’t have any tricks to speak of and will completely rely on your own comprehension and understanding.
“Some Talisman Masters can master it in half a month, but some need years or even longer. If you still don’t understand, you can temporarily put aside your research and revise the previous spirit runes. You might be able to gain something.”
Shen Ping said respectfully, “Thank you for clearing my doubts, Senior Yun Ya.”
The two of them then talked about the Green Talisman Handbook, but most of it was Perfected Yun Ya talking while Shen Ping listened attentively.
Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu left the Spirit Peak when it was almost noon. After returning to Linhai Immortal City, the two of them got into the Cloud Beast Carriage. There was not much space in the carriage. The two long breaths intertwined.
If it was in the past, Shen Ping would at most admire the curves of Perfected Pei’s light armor. However, ever since he had a close breakthrough last time, he could not help but have different thoughts every time he faced this alone space.
But before he could do anything, Pei Huoyu’s voice sounded. “Fellow Daoist Shen, what are your plans for the future?”
Shen Ping was stunned. He asked in confusion, “Perfected Pei, you mean…”
Pei Huoyu said softly, “Usually, when the core members of the True Treasure Pavilion breakthrough to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, they won’t be able to obtain the treatment and resources given by the headquarters. At this time, they can only rely on themselves. They can either adventure or join the various halls to continue obtaining resources for advancement.
“But there are exceptions for some geniuses. Due to their outstanding skills and talent, they often obtained the favor of the various halls in the headquarters in the early stages of becoming core members. For example, the Talisman Master Jing Yu on the Hidden Dragon Ranking was recruited by the Mountain Fire Hall in advance.”
There was a pause. Her gaze landed on Shen Ping and she continued, “Fellow Daoist Shen, you haven’t even gone through the review and evaluation, but you’ve already been ranked first twice. Naturally, you have the right to join in advance.
“Now, not only our Mountain Fire Hall, but the other halls have also sent members to the Linhai Immortal City. I believe you will be able to come into contact with them in the near future. The sword envoy last time thought highly of your potential and recruited you in advance.”
Shen Ping came to a realization.
Pei Huoyu had once said that compared to the other halls, there were very few internal factions in the Sword Hall and they were sincere and united. However, the Sword Hall was a place where battle cultivators gathered and was not suitable for him.
As for Mountain Fire Hall, with Pei Huoyu, Perfected Yun Ya and the green talisman handbook that was given to him, he was actually inclined to join the Mountain Fire Hall..
