Chapter 219 - 219: Your Most Attractive Place (2)
Except…
There was already a genius Talisman Master on the Hidden Dragon Rankings in the Mountain Fire Hall.
Although he did not know the exact situation of the headquarters, he could more or less guess that the important resources of the various halls should be limited. It would probably be very difficult to provide the same resources as the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
There was a hesitation. Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “1 don’t know much about the various halls in the headquarters. What suggestions does Perfected Pei have?”
Pei Huoyu smiled and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist Shen, be it the Mountain Fire Hall or the other halls, my suggestion is not to join any of them.” “Why is that? Could it be that there are disadvantages to joining these halls?” Shen Ping asked subconsciously.
“You have to bear the corresponding responsibility to become a member of the hall. But you don’t have to consider this before breaking through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. As for the responsibility of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, it’s not a drawback.” Pei Huoyu stared at Shen Ping. “The reason why 1 suggested this is because there are stronger main halls above the halls. If you can become the core of the main hall, then even if you don’t become a Class A core in the future, the resources and treatment your status will receive won’t be inferior to Class A.”
Shen Ping’s eyes lit up. “Perfected Pei, are you talking about the Moon Spirit Hall?”
“Yes. The Moon Spirit Hall is one of the twelve main halls of the headquarters, and the Mountain Fire Hall belongs to the Moon Spirit Hall.” Pei Huoyu nodded and continued, “Usually, if you want to become a core member of the Moon Spirit Main Hall, you have to be a high-level elder and Hall Master-level expert of the various halls. However, there are always exceptions. Among the previous core members of the True Treasure Pavilion, several of them joined the main hall at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realm!
“Fellow Daoist Shen, I know that you have always doted on your wives and concubines. Not only do you want them to go further on the path of cultivation, but you also want to be by their side at all times. However, once the review and evaluation is done, you will have to stay in the headquarters for a long time. At that time, Yu Yan, Wang Yun, and the others will not be able to follow you into the headquarters. Only by becoming the core of the main hall can you rely on your status to let them follow you!”
Shen Ping frowned upon hearing this. He asked in a low voice, “Perfected Pei, how long will 1 stay at the headquarters?”
Pei Huoyu replied seriously, “When you break through to the Pseudo Nascent Soul realm and don’t need a Dao Protector like me, you can leave the headquarters and go to the five continents and four seas to train. Currently, the fastest record of reaching the Pseudo Nascent Soul realm in the Zhongsheng Continent is 156 years.”
Foundation Establishment has two hundred years.
Golden Core has five hundred years.
The further one went, the longer it would take to advance.
Shen Ping did not know if he could break this record, but even if he did, he estimated that he would need decades of cold and summer to reach the Pseudo Nascent Soul.
Not having farming for ten years, the fields will be barren. The weeds would be flourishing. Putting aside whether his wife, concubines, and Dao companions could endure loneliness, It was impossible for him to withstand it alone.
Not to mention, everything he had was based on his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. If he did not have any sex for decades, how much improvement would he waste?
Thinking of this, Shen Ping said in a low voice, “How can I become the core of the main hall?”
Pei Huoyu’s eyes instantly lit up, and a moving smile appeared on her valiant face. However, she shook her head and said, “I’m not sure, but there’s the Glory Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking now. Therefore, as long as you can make it to the front of the rankings, the chances will be higher!”
Shen Ping took a deep breath and said firmly, “I understand. As long as I can reach the top of the Glory Ranking before the review, I will definitely become the core of the main hall!”
Pei Huoyu was stunned. Then, her voice became rare and gentle. “Fellow Daoist Shen, it’s said that the core member who’s currently at the top of the Glory Ranking has comprehended the third volume of the beast bone. He’s cultivated for 1,300 years!”
Shen Ping’s voice was calm. “So what? The Glory and Hidden Dragon Rankings don’t look at cultivation realms, let alone cultivation years. It’s about comprehension of the Beast Scripture!”
He added silently in his heart, “This Glory Ranking is too complicated. At the end of the top 100, they only grasped the third volume of the beast skin. In the end, the first place is actually the third volume of the beast bone. If there’s really no other way, 1 can only make a decision based on the situation. With Perfected Qiu around, relying on comprehending that huge creature and combining it with the Green Talisman Manual, 1 might be able to achieve something else.”
Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping’s calm expression and felt a strange wave in her heart. She smiled sweetly and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, do you know what is your most attractive aspect?”
“When I’m making Fire Braised Chicken!” Shen Ping replied almost without thinking.
Pei Huoyu was speechless. The waves in her heart immediately disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, the Cloud Beast Carriage stopped. The two of them did not say anything else and returned to Yongyang Market.
Dark clouds covered the sky. The stars were gone.
Early in the morning, Shen Ping had just left Perfected Qiu’s room and had not reached the main quiet room when the heavy rain instantly poured down. He used his Foundation Establishment magic power to support his protective spiritual light, preventing the rain from drenching his robe. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
Whoosh.
The perception of the strange beast talent surged into his mind again. The pitch-black night sky seemed to be filled with incomparably terrifying danger, as if the sky could collapse at any moment.
Shen Ping frowned and stepped into the quiet room. After sitting cross-legged and meditating, the uneasiness brought about by the palpitations gradually disappeared. His divine sense seeped into his dantian’s meridians.
Sensing the increase in Foundation Establishment magic powers, a smile appeared on his face. At this speed, he would be able to break through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm in a few months..
