Shen Ping picked up the teacup and took a sip. “Fellow Daoist An, I’ve lived here


for a long time. Sorry to disturb you.”


An Zhi hurriedly said, “Senior Shen, don’t say that. It’s my An family’s fortune that you can live in my An family’s residence.


On the other hand, An Yue became nervous. She was afraid that Shen Ping would say that he would leave if he appeared.


Shen Ping continued, “I heard from Huilan that Gray Stone City has recently resumed contact with the Black Fiend Valley. I wonder if the An family’s caravan needs any help. I’ve just ended my seclusion and am thinking of moving.”


An Zhi was stunned for a moment before she revealed a happy expression. She was worried about how to persuade Senior Shen to stay or build a deeper relationship with him. She did not expect him to take the initiative to mention it.


This was a rare opportunity. After all, for so many years, she knew that Senior


Shen lived in seclusion and disliked trouble the most.


“Senior Shen, since you like a peaceful life, there’s something you can do now. A few days ago, my An family’s caravan pa.s.sed through the Frost Wolf Swamp and was robbed of valuable resources by the demon cultivators of the Frost Wolf Clan. Not only my An family’s caravan, but also the caravans of the other Black Fiend Valley, the humans in some surrounding gathering places, and other races were more or less robbed of some resources. Originally, my An family was prepared to go to the Frost Wolf Swamp to negotiate with them in a few days. If Senior Shen is willing to help, my An family will have more confidence.”


An Zhi said in a low voice, “The Frost Wolf Clan is considered a va.s.sal of the Devil Race’s Stone Tiger Clan. However, the Stone Tiger Clan has many va.s.sal devils. The Frost Wolf Clan is not ranked at the front. The strongest in their clan is only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.


“This time, my An family sent out two late-stage Nascent Soul elders. However, the devils are stronger than us humans. In addition, we’re afraid of Shi Hu, so it’s safer with Senior Shen around.”


Shen Ping came to a realization and said bluntly, “Alright, just inform me when you set off.”


Back when he was in the Golden Core realm, he had killed the Nascent Soul Green Flood Dragon through a Talisman Dao Mystique. Now that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and had a beast spirit treasure, he was not afraid of the Nascent Soul devil of the same level.


“Thank you, Senior Shen.”


Back in the room, Jing Huilan couldn’t help but say worriedly, “Husband, although the Frost Wolf Clan is weak, they still have the support of the Stone Tiger Clan. If there’s a conflict, I’m afraid…”


Shen Ping reached out and interrupted, “Don’t worry, I won’t act rashly.’


Jing Huilan did not continue to comfort him. Moreover, she actually wanted to see her husband’s strength.


It was late at night. After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Shen Ping and Jing Huilan each entered a quiet room to cultivate. He sat cross-legged on a cushion. He first meditated to familiarize himself with the pure power of the strange beast in his dantian. The originally golden-red energy of the strange beast had transformed into a dark golden color. Moreover, it revolved around the Nascent Soul like a liquid and kept nourishing the Nascent Soul.


One of the wisps of dark gold was equivalent to more than 10,000 red-golden powers.


It could be said that he only needed a wisp of Nascent Soul magic powers to activate a low-level beast spirit treasure now, and it could last for a long time. This was the power of the strange beast after the transformation. However, if he unleashed his full strength, the consumption would be huge.


Several hours pa.s.sed. He opened his eyes and took out the jade box he had obtained from the Heaven Ascension Hall.


After opening it, there was a scaled blade as thin as a cicada’s wing floating inside. The surface of the blade was carved with lifelike beast-shaped patterns. It looked beautiful and captivating.


This was the silk blade of a high- grade beast spirit treasure.


Shen Ping had tried to activate it. He had exhausted half of the magical power of the Nascent Soul strange beast in his body to barely activate it. Moreover, he could not even activate the first form, Silkworm Shadow.


If he wanted to truly activate its form, it would at least require the magic power of a strange beast at the Void Refinement Realm. But even so, with high-level beast spirit treasures, Nascent Soul cultivators with beast patterns could also resist Divine Transformation experts in the underground palace.


This was because the power of a high-level beast spirit treasure was really too strong. It was rare in the entire underground palace and the lower level of the Heavenly Palace.


It was said that many Body Integration experts would fight crazily for it. However, in the entire underground palace and the lower level of the Heavenly Palace, such a treasure would only appear in the Heaven Ascension Hall. For example, low-grade beast spirit treasures were found in the underground palace. Just like the strange rock, one could obtain them if they were lucky. Similarly, mid-grade beast spirit treasures were found on the third level of the underground palace.


Shen Ping could obtain a high-grade beast spirit treasure in the Heaven Ascension Hall because of his divination technique. Otherwise, he might have ended up like the cultivators of the other races.


“Silk Blade… I wonder how ordinary its power is?” Shen Ping pondered as he looked at the high-level beast spirit treasure that was emitting a fluorescent light-


There was not much left of the complete Talisman Beast Diagram. Although there were still many hoofs, claws, and whip tails, there were less every time he used one. In addition, there were only five puppet beasts. Although their defense and destructive power were extremely strong, they were protecting him. If he was not in a desperate situation, he would definitely not use them. Therefore, the more trump cards he had, the better. Beast Spirit Treasures were obviously methods that could be directly displayed.


He put away the jade box. He opened the virtual frame in front of his eyes. The pink, purple crown, gold, silver, and other virtual frames that his wife, concubine, and Dao companions belonged to shone. However, the attributes on them had not changed for a long time. Only the virtual frame at the bottom was still changing.


Behind the virtual frame was the wishing page. And his wife, concubine, and Dao companions all had the same wish. They worked hard to cultivate and strive to see their husband as soon as possible.


Shen Ping sighed faintly. It had been a long time since he left the five continents and four seas. Although he could communicate with his wife and concubines every day, he could not see them after all, he could not accompany them day and night. “In the end, I’m still too weak.”


Breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm was only the starting point for cultivators. He still had a long way to go.


Five days pa.s.sed. An Zhi informed Shen Ping, so he tidied up a little. The few of them left the encampment and followed the main street to the city gate. As expected, the patrolling guards let them leave after a simple search.


Until they took a flying ship away from Gray Stone City, the Jing siblings heave a sigh of relief.


“Looks like the Devil Shi Hu has indeed given up.” Shen Ping said.


Jing Yan hurriedly said, “It’s all thanks to Senior Shen’s help. That Shi Hu looked for my sister and me mainly to eliminate the root of the problem. Moreover, he was also worried that we would return to seek revenge from the seniors of the human race. However, more than five years have pa.s.sed. He should think that my sister and I have long left Gray Stone City, so he naturally left it unsettled.”


Shen Ping nodded. Jing Huilan had also said this. Shi Hu must have some motive for going through so much trouble to find the Jing siblings. However, Jing Huilan had been honest later on. The Jing family’s greatest secret was a scripture for divination. Half of that scripture was with Jing Huilan, and it was now handed to Shen Ping.


Therefore, if Jing Huilan were to hand it over to a Void Refinement Realm expert or a Body Integration Realm senior of the human race, she might be able to get them to help her take revenge. At the very least, it would not be difficult for them to kill Shi Hu, who was in Void Refinement Realm.


The flying ship continued to move forward.


On the deck, An Zhi said, “The Frost Wolf Swamp is a three days’ journey according to this. Our An family’s elders will join forces to go. At that time, we can just wait at the entrance of the Frost Wolf Swamp.”


Shen Ping nodded gently. The human race was declining. It was no longer as glorious as before. Even when facing the weaker Frost Wolf Clan, the human cultivators of Black Fiend Valley had no choice but to join forces. It was the same for the other races.


There was no other way. The devils were powerful and had gradually occupied the former territory of the human race, becoming an existence that the other races looked up to.


They had no choice. The impact of the Myriad Spirit Ranking was too great. If tens of thousands of years pa.s.sed, Shen Ping did not doubt that the human race would become a weak race.


There were no other accidents along the way. They safely arrived at the entrance of Frost Wolf Swamp.


The forest here was lush, and there were steep mountain ranges lying on both sides. Frost Wolf Swamp was a convenient and faster trade route from Black Fiend Valley to Gray Stone City. If one wanted to take a detour, they had to cross the mountain range. During this period, they did not know what danger they would encounter. If they encountered the demons, they would die. Therefore, many caravans would pay a certain toll to the Frost Wolf Clan. However, ever since the Stone Tiger Clan took over Gray Stone City, the status of its va.s.sal clans had increased. The Frost Wolf Clan had also become more domineering and demanded more and more fees.


The flying ship had just landed when not far away, a beam of light flew over and landed beside Shen Ping and the others.


“It’s a cultivator from the Snow Clan. They’ve also come to negotiate with the Frost Wolf Clan..”
