Chapter 266 - 266: Choice (2)



“This potential is not enough for my Mountain Fire Hall to invest in.” Mountain Fire Hall Master laughed, “Junior Brother, even you find it hard to accept. This means that the other halls will definitely not take out such conditions. And this is the greatest advantage of our Mountain Fire Hall!”

The purplish-black cultivator was speechless. No matter what, the Mountain Fire Hall was a hall-level faction. The foundation and resources it had were enough to provide for several late-stage Divine Transformation Realm experts. It was considered a large sect in the Zhongsheng Continent. If such strength were to share the glory and humiliation with a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it would definitely become a joke.

If Shen Ping had a chance of obtaining the inheritance, there was nothing wrong with giving it a try. But now, the other party had no chance at all.

“Senior Brother, regardless of whether the recruitment succeeds or fails, with the relationship with Huoyu, our Mountain Fire Hall can maintain our relationship with Talisman Master Shen in the future. There’s no need to pay such a price!”

The Mountain Fire Hall Master shook his head. “Junior Brother, for that Talisman Master Shen, all kinds of resources and conditions are at his fingertips. In the future, as long as his comprehension of the Talisman Beast Scripture is not slow, there will be no lack of resources. No matter how many resources our Mountain Fire Hall gives, it will only be icing on the cake. On the other hand, his foundation is too weak and he has almost no power around him. If our Mountain Fire Hall can fully support him at this time, it will undoubtedly be a timely help.”

He saw that the purple-black cultivator was still frowning. Mountain Fire Hall Master lowered his voice and said, “Junior Brother, why don’t you understand? The conditions given by the main hall are indeed impossible in everyone’s eyes, but if there’s really no chance, why would the main hall raise it? Moreover, before Talisman Master Shen enters the Glory Ranking, no one will think that he can comprehend the final form of the beast form in four hours! Some freaks can’t be judged by common sense!”

The last sentence was like thunder. It rumbled in the purple-black cultivator’s ears. After a long while, he finally nodded slowly.

The next morning, the sky of the Linhai Immortal City had just turned bright. Shen Ping ended his meditation and cultivation. He got up and stretched. When he reached the entrance of the main quiet room, he saw Pei Huoyu waiting.

He stepped forward. He was about to hug Pei Huoyu’s thin waist when the latter hurriedly took a step back and sent a voice transmission. “Fellow Daoist Shen, Mountain Fire Hall Master is waiting outside. He wants to see you.”

Shen Ping looked surprised. “Perfected Pei, Mountain Fire Hall Master came personally?”

Pei Huoyu nodded.

Shen Ping did not dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly followed Pei Huoyu to the door of the courtyard. Soon, he saw a middle-aged cultivator in a heavy mountain pattern robe standing quietly with his hands behind his back.

“New core disciple Shen Ping greets Mountain Fire Hall Master!”

The middle-aged cultivator did not have any aura. However, Shen Ping knew that if the other party had any killing intent at this moment, he would definitely have no chance of survival.

“Talisman Master Shen, please forgive me for disturbing you rashly. I wonder if we can talk in the courtyard?” Mountain Fire Hall Master smiled gently.

Shen Ping was stunned. He did not expect a powerful late-stage Divine Transformation Realm cultivator to be so approachable. Hence, he hurriedly said respectfully, “Hall Master, please!”

A moment later, Mountain Fire Hall Master sat in the stone pavilion. Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu stood on the opposite side.

“Talisman Master Shen, there’s no need to be nervous. Please sit.” Mountain Fire Hall Master waved his hand. A jade pot appeared on the stone table. “This is a type of spirit tea that I personally planted, and it’s called the Spirit Calming Meditation Tea. Even though its name is very ordinary, it’s able to effectively calm the mind and calm the mind. Talisman Master Shen, you can try it.”

As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture with his long sleeve. Half of Shen Ping’s body was sitting on the stone bench. Then, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. As the spiritual tea entered his stomach, all the distracting thoughts in his mind immediately disappeared without a trace. The spirit platform was completely empty.

He could not help but praise, “Good tea!”

Mountain Fire Hall Master smiled and said, “This kind of spiritual tea is most suitable for brewing a small cup before meditating. After drinking it, you can quickly reach a meditative state.” Spiritual light flickered on his fingertips. An exquisite long box surrounded by jade floated in the air. “This is the calming meditation tea. It’s enough for Talisman Master Shen and your wife and Dao companions to use for a hundred years.”

Shen Ping did not decline politely. Instead, he generously put it away and cupped his hands. “Thank you for the spiritual tea, Hall Master. 1 wonder what instructions you have for coming to visit?”

The Mountain Fire Hall Master smiled and said, “There’s no need for instructions. I believe Talisman Master Shen already knows why I’m here this time. If Talisman Master Shen is willing to join, then our Mountain Fire Hall can fully support you!”

Both Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu were stunned.

Full support was different from agreeing to any condition.

The most obvious difference was that in the future, if Shen Ping’s progress in comprehending the scripture slowed down or his talent disappeared, the Mountain Fire Hall would still continue to support and provide all kinds of resources to nurture him. The conditions agreed by the other halls would decrease or even be canceled.

Moreover, this kind of oath would basically be restricted. Ordinary cultivators might be able to violate it, but cultivators above the Golden Core realm would not violate it. This was because once they violated the oath, the inner demon tribulation they would encounter when condensing their Nascent Soul would increase.

When he came back to his senses, Shen Ping stared at Mountain Fire Hall Master and could not help but ask, “Hall Master, I’m only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. I’m not worthy of Mountain Fire Hall’s sincerity!”

Mountain Fire Hall Master shook his head slightly, “If you have any other concerns, you can raise them.”

Pei Huoyu said, “Hall Master, Fellow Daoist Shen hopes to have a stable cultivation environment.”

The Hall Master suddenly understood and said, “Rest assured, Talisman Master Shen. As long as you are in the hall, you will not be affected. This is my promise as the Hall Master.”

Shen Ping sighed with emotion. He indeed had many concerns. However, he did not expect Mountain Fire Hall Master to be so bold. Not only did he put down his pride and personally come to visit, but he also made a huge concession, especially with full support. He had never thought that a hall-level force would do this.

Five minutes later, Mountain Fire Hall Master was no longer in the stone pavilion. However, Shen Ping was still sitting on the stone stool. Pei Huoyu stayed by his side and did not disturb him. She knew that Shen Ping was making his final decision.

Time passed slowly. The spirit tea on the stone table had been cold for a long time. The sun was setting. The sky gradually darkened. Shen Ping suddenly stood up. “Perfected Pei, I’ve decided to join the Mountain Fire Hall.”

Full support was not important to him. What was important was the support of his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. The reason why the other halls were in a hurry now was mainly because he was valued by the Main Hall. If before the calamity descended, he was far from the conditions given by the Main Hall, then even if the other halls still maintained the level of nurturing for him, the resources on his wife, concubine, and Dao companions would definitely decrease or even be canceled.

Such a thing would not happen if he joined the Mountain Fire Hall. Moreover, the previous Hall Master had already agreed to help him find a cultivator who was good at the five volumes of the Talisman Beast Scripture to guide him at all costs.

Hence, with the synthesis of all the situations, he still made the choice to join the Mountain Fire Hall.

Pei Huoyu smiled. “Fellow Daoist Shen, thank you.”

Shen Ping felt much more relaxed. He went forward and wrapped his arms around her thin waist. His broad palm extended down and he whispered into her ear, “At night, when the moon and stars are sparse, I hope that Perfected Pei can use the brush of the South Sea to outline a sharp peak.”

Pei Huoyu’s earlobes instantly turned red. She bit the corner of her lips and hummed softly.

Shen Ping was delighted and said, “1 want heavy ink.”

A few days later, all the Hall Masters and higher-ups who had come to the Linhai Immortal City faced the void respectfully in front of Perfected Yun Ya’s Spirit Peak palace.

Whoosh.

As space distorted and shook, a phantom gradually appeared.

“Greetings, Hall Master Yueling!”

“Greetings, Hall Master Yueling!”

All the cultivators, including Shen Ping, bowed.

In a flash, a vast aura that was like the sun and moon spread out and instantly enveloped the entire Spirit Peak. Hall Master Yueling’s indifferent voice sounded. “Where’s the new core disciple, Shen Ping?”

Shen Ping hurriedly took a few steps forward. Hall Master Yueling’s gaze landed on him. “Shen Ping, the fact that you can enter the 65th place on the Glory Ranking as a new member is enough to prove that you’re talented. After discussion, the headquarters has specially promoted you to a Class A core in advance. This is a Class A jade token. You must take good care of it.”

He flicked his fingertip. A new Class A core jade token floated in front of Shen Ping. At this moment, the phantom faded.

Just as he was about to disappear, the voice of Hall Master Yueling sounded in Shen Ping’s ear. “If you want to wear the crown, you have to bear its weight. Little fellow, talent, cultivation, power… All of them are indispensable to you. If you want to reach the peak in the end, you still have a long way to go.

“Let me remind you that there’s competition within any top faction. Work hard.. When you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and comprehend the beast bone, you can officially become a core member of my Moon Spirit Main Hall!”
