Chapter 418 - 418: Destruction (1)
At the low level, puppets were not very useful. However, at the high level, they were more and more useful to cultivators. On the other hand, a sixth-grade puppet was almost equivalent to a true Void Refinement Realm expert. A puppet that exceeded the sixth-grade could be said to be top-notch in the range of Gray Stone City and even in Sword Seal City.
Hence, Shen Ping was in a very good mood. With this strange beast in the form of a puppet beast, his trump card had undoubtedly increased again. He even had the ability to protect himself against Body Integration cultivators.
Moreover, if the puppet was paired with the silk blade, which was a high-grade beast spirit treasure, it would be possible to kill a Void Refinement Realm expert as long as he seized the opportunity.
However, this puppet also had a flaw, and that was that it consumed too much energy. The immortal spirit stone could only last for ten minutes. Once the enemy understood and stalled for time during the battle, it would undoubtedly magnify this flaw. Fortunately, Shen Ping had a way to trade for the immortal spirit stones. Otherwise, even if the beast-shaped puppet was powerful, it would not be of any help to him.
He put away the puppet.
Shen Ping glanced at the array discs and array flags that had been destroyed by the lightning pillars around him. With a wave of his hand, he erased the traces of this place. Then, he swept his divine sense. Although he did not have the help of his wife and concubine, his divine sense had long reached the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. He could easily sense everything within a radius of ten thousand feet.
With this sweep, he sensed several auras of living beings. They were foreign races. The scene of the lightning tribulation just now naturally attracted some living beings to investigate. After all, any violent spiritual energy fluctuation or phenomenon might be a rare treasure.
Hmph. He snorted lightly. The aura of a mid-stage Divine Transformation divine sense spread out. The pressure immediately made these living beings prostrate in fear.
Shen Ping ignored them and turned into a beam of light that disappeared into the sky. The surrounding living beings immediately revealed the joy of surviving a disaster. Before he returned to Gray Stone City, the communication stone vibrated slightly. He took it out and scanned it.
“Husband, that Shi Hu came to visit and insisted on seeing the pavilion master behind the True Treasure Pavilion. I’m afraid he suspects our identities!” Jing Huilan’s voice sounded a little worried.
Shen Ping’s expression was very calm. Not to mention that he had a powerful puppet now, even in the past, he was not afraid of this early-stage Void Refinement Realm Shi Hu. “Lan’er, tell Shi Hu that we’ll meet at the Shixi Pavilion outside Gray Stone City in three days.”
“Husband, this… Yes!”
Back at the An family’s residence, Shen Ping also told his master about this. His master smiled and said, “Disciple, the True Treasure Pavilion has been established in the city for a long time. Most of the items traded are fifth-grade precious materials, including sixth-grade materials. If not for your special beast spirit treasure that could let one disguised as a Spirit Race member, I’m afraid it would have long been coveted and swallowed by Shi Hu or other factions. Shi Hu is quite patient to be able to endure until now.”
Shen Ping nodded. Indeed. The cultivation world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Furthermore, the periphery of the Black Mist Direlands was already chaotic. It was normal for them to snatch and kill each other. If it were any other greater demons, they would have long taken action to probe. “How are you going to handle this?” Lian Xuejin asked.
Shen Ping was not in a hurry to respond. Instead, he looked at the environment of the An family’s residence and could not help but smile. “After living here for so many years, it’s time to change to a better environment. I think the wide manor Shi Hu occupied is not bad.”
The gentle voice sounded, “That’s a Void Refinement Realm demon. Are you confident?”
“I have to give it a try!” Shen Ping’s tone was filled with confidence. He was no longer the same as yesterday. As a Beast Spirit genius, he had always kept a low profile.
For example, Yin Ting and the other geniuses of the Winged Race. Although they were only at the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation realm, in their race, even Body Integration cultivators had to be respectful when they saw them.
This was because the strange beast power in the Beast Spirit genius’ body was an energy that snatched the creation of the world. Not only did it far exceed the magic power of the same level, but it could also drive powerful Beast Spirit Treasures.
Of course, if they really fought, if a second-grade Beast Spirit genius did not have a high-grade Beast Spirit Treasure, he would die facing a Body Integration cultivator.
If he did not know that the Immortal Dao experts of the various races had already descended to the lower realm to look for him, he would not have reacted like this in the face of the Great Demon Shi Hu’s probing. However, the situation was urgent now. He had to expand the range of information on the True Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible so that he could deal with unexpected situations in time and be prepared to escape back to the Black Mist Direlands.
Therefore, Gray Stone City was more important.
In the past ten years, he focused on studying the Puppet Beast Scripture and had no time to care about anything else.
But now that he had comprehended the Puppet Beast Form Scroll, he naturally had to deal with other matters. As for continuing to comprehend other skills derived from the Beast Scripture, he was not in a hurry. After all, be it alchemy, array formations, or other skills, he did not have much talent. It would probably take thousands of years to study them.
At night, her graceful and exquisite figure nestled in Shen Ping’s broad arms Inside the gauze tent. Jing Huilan looked up and said weakly, “Husband, tomorrow is your appointment with that Shi Hu. I’m really worried. Why don’t I reject it? My True Treasure Pavilion has developed until now. There are four Divine Transformation guest elders alone. After so many years, I haven’t really asked them to take action.”
Shen Ping hugged her fair shoulder. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that I’m not confident in. Tomorrow, I’ll send a message to the An family’s ancestor and the other guest elders to go together. At the very least, your husband can protect himself.”
He wanted to use this opportunity to intimidate the guest elders in the pavilion.
Only then did the worry in Jing Huilan’s eyes slowly dissipate. She curled her body, and her exquisite curves gradually fluctuated..
