“Congratulations to the new core disciple, Shen Ping, for pa.s.sing the trial. Please rest for a moment and head to the next level.” A gentle voice sounded in the sky above the dark rock.
Shen Ping looked at the strange beast-patterned puppet beside him that was dim and had cracks on its surface. A relaxed smile appeared on his face. lie had yet to study and comprehend the Puppet Scripture, but he had truly created a puppet for the first volume of the beast form. If news of this spread, it would probably cause another commotion in the various halls of the headquarters.
Most importantly, this was only the first time he had created a strange beast patterned puppet. It did not even have the slightest charm, yet he had pa.s.sed the first level through the puppet great divine power. This undoubtedly proved the power of the puppet great divine power.
There were also jagged rocks on the second floor. But there were many of them and they were strong. The defensive spiritual light also lasted longer. In the end, he made a total of 15. He pa.s.sed through this level again.
However, when facing the swamp beasts on the third level, even if the original beast-shaped puppet had the enhancement of the puppet great divine power, it would be difficult to pa.s.s.
But Shen Ping was already very satisfied with this. His consciousness returned. He opened his eyes, a trace of strong confidence hanging on the corner of his mouth. “Top three on the Glory Ranking! Inheritor of the Beast Scripture! Since I, Shen Ping, have this opportunity, I must fight for it!”
Several days pa.s.sed. The wives and concubines who were calmly dressing up looked at this s.p.a.cious courtyard that had been lived in for seven to eight years, their eyes revealed reluctance.
Back when they left Qingyang City, it was the same for them. Compared to Shen Ping, w.a.n.g Yun, Yu Yan, and Bai Yuying were even more sad. However, his wife and concubines knew very well that if they wanted to survive the calamity, they had to leave.
“Let’s go.” Shen Ping said softly.
Bai Yuying pursed her lips and quickly ran to the spirit beast section. She still let the spirit beast she fed out. “Be good and stay here. Don’t run around. I’ll be back.”
w.a.n.g Yun watered the medicinal field and spiritual herbs again. After they were done, they then turned around and left with Shen Ping. They rode the Cloud Beast Carriage to the city gate. Elder Qi and the other Golden Core Foundation Establishment cultivators of the True Treasure Pavilion, as well as Chong Ji, Di Shouye, Fellow Daoist Le, and his daughter, stood quietly.
Shen Ping walked out. They all went forward and cupped their hands in greeting.
“Elder Qi, Fellow Daoist Chong and the others are my friends. If there’s no trouble, I hope you can take care of them. Shen Ping is extremely grateful.” Shen Ping transmitted his voice.
Elder Qi stroked his beard and smiled. “Guest Elder Shen, don’t worry. Guest Elder Chong is also a guest elder of our True Treasure Pavilion. Also, I’ll keep that courtyard for Guest Elder Shen. You’re welcome to come back at any time.”
He chatted with the other guest elders. He walked in front of Chong Ji. He handed over dozens of Level 3 talismans. At this point, it was not difficult for him to make these talismans. However, he did not give the other resources because Shen Ping knew Chong Yi’s personality. If he gave the talismans, the latter would accept them calmly. However, Chong Yi would definitely not accept resources like pills and rare treasures.
“Years later, there might be a crisis in the Linhai Immortal City. Fellow Daoist Chong, you must pay attention to the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion.”
Hall Master Ji of the Mountain Fire Hall had said that one could survive the calamity when they are in the Zhongsheng Continent. The other places were extremely dangerous. No one knew if they could survive. Shen Ping could only give a slight reminder.
Chong Ji cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen!”
The two of them chatted for a while. Then he left. As he watched the cloud shuttle leave, Di Shouye could not help but sigh. “When I first saw Senior Shen, I knew that he would one day fly high. Now, in just a few years, he can already bring his wife and concubines to the Zhongsheng Continent. It’s really enviable. That’s the Zhongsheng Continent!”
When the other cultivators heard this, envy appeared in their eyes. The Zhongsheng Continent was the holy land of cultivation that all cultivators yearned for. Only a very small number of people were qualified to go to the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion.
Most people might not even have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Mountain Fire Hall Master and the others were already waiting halfway up Perfected Yun Ya’s spirit peak. Hall Master Ji welcomed them with a smile when he saw the light descend. Perfected Yun Ya and the others followed closely behind. They exchanged a few pleasantries.
Hall Master Ji waved his sleeve, and a surging and powerful Divine Transformation power enveloped everyone and disappeared from the Spirit Peak. A few moments later, they stood at the railing of the front deck of the large flying ship.
Shen Ping looked down at the Linhai Immortal City that was getting further and further away. His gaze was calm and far-reaching. Cloud Mountain Parlour, Qingyang City, Linhai Immortal City… He left time and time again just for a more stable cultivation. “One day, life will be truly stable. Definitely.”
Boom!
The light quickly flickered and became a bright spot in the sky.
Shen Ping and Hall Master Ji sat opposite each other in the attic room. He took a sip of the spiritual tea. Hall Master Ji smiled and said, “Talisman Master Shen, there’s no need to stand on ceremony in front of me. This trip to the Zhongsheng Continent will require three spatial teleportations. It will take half a month, so there’s still plenty of time. I’ll briefly tell you about the nurturing of the Cla.s.s A core members of the headquarters and your cultivation arrangements.”
Hall Master Ji’s att.i.tude was very amiable. However, Shen Ping did not act impudently because of this. He sat upright and listened attentively.
“I believe you already have some understanding of the treatment of Cla.s.s A core members. I won’t elaborate further. Other than restricted resources, the most important thing is the opportunity to study in the Beast Scripture Pavilion!
“The Beast Scripture Pavilion is related to the final state of comprehending the scripture. Although you have comprehended the final state of the beast form, there is still beast skin, beast bone, and beast blood above the beast form. Every one of them needs to comprehend the final state. The deeper your comprehension is, the more helpful it will be to you in the future.
“Usually, the opportunities for a Cla.s.s A core member to comprehend are the same. It’s very difficult to obtain additional opportunities. Even the various halls have to pay a huge price to obtain additional opportunities. Since you’ve joined my Mountain Fire Hall, I’ll naturally do my best to give you one more chance before the calamity descends. Other than the Mountain Fire Hall, the main hall has given you three more chances. Other than these, you can also consume the next opportunity in advance. Therefore, in general, you have six chances to comprehend before the calamity descends.”
Shen Ping was stunned. He looked at Hall Master Ji in shock. He had heard from Pei Huoyu and Perfected Yun Ya that it was extremely difficult to obtain additional opportunities for the Beast Scripture Pavilion. He did not expect Mountain Fire Hall to value it so much. However, what he did not expect the most was that the main hall would give him three more times.
Hall Master Ji smiled and nodded. “The True Treasure Pavilion has always placed great importance on skill geniuses. For you to be ranked 65th on the Glory Ranking when you were newly promoted to the core, it’s enough to prove your talent. The Main Hall will naturally not be stingy.”
There was a pause. He continued, “As for cultivation resources, you don’t have to worry. As long as they belong to my True Treasure Pavilion, 1’11 think of a way to get them for you. I won’t forget what I promised you. Mountain Fire Hall will also treat all your wife, concubine, and Dao companions equally.
“Finally, the Moon Spirit Main Hall sent a message to ask you what the other skill you chose to study was. Although it’s too difficult to rank in the top three of the Glory Ranking with two skills, since you have the chance, you have to try.”
“Puppet!” Shen Ping answered without hesitation.
Hall Master Ji was not surprised by this answer. He had long known from Pei Huoyu that Shen Ping was good at puppets. Hall Master Ji smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll immediately arrange for the members of the hall who will teach you the Puppet Beast Scripture. Don’t worry, these members will be screened by the main hall. They’re all proficient in scripture.”
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment. “Other than comprehending the two technique scrolls, there’s not much time left. However, I still hope that Talisman Master Shen won’t slack off after arriving at the headquarters. Skills are important, and the improvement of your cultivation is even more important. I’ll arrange a quiet room with a mid-grade Level 7 spiritual vein for you. You can cultivate in the quiet room in peace.”
“Hall Master Ji.” Shen Ping suddenly interrupted.
“What other requests does Talisman Master Shen have?”
“There is indeed one,” Shen Ping replied truthfully. “I hope to live in a quiet environment with my wife, concubines, and Dao companions.”
Hall Master Ji was stunned. Even though he’d heard a long time ago that this Talisman Dao genius in front of him likes women, he never imagined that he would like the Dao of men and women so much.
It was inevitable that there would be s.e.x if they stayed together. It was fine under normal circ.u.mstances. But now, it concerned whether he could enter the top three of the Glory Ranking and become the inheritor of the Beast Scripture. At such an important stage, couldn’t he endure it and focus on cultivation?
However, thinking of his promise, even though Hall Master Ji did not understand, he finally nodded and agreed. Then, he mentioned the provision of some other specific auxiliary resources.
The two of them ended their conversation. Half a month later, the flying ship trembled three times. They finally arrived at the headquarters of the Zhongsheng Continent’s True Treasure Pavilion..
