Chapter 179: Don’t Care About Your Appearance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Ping was stunned. He had never expected Pei Huoyu to say such a thing. After all, who was the latter? She was the core member of the Mountain Fire Hall. She was a powerful battle cultivator who rarely met her match at the Golden Core realm.
Don’t look at how he was always glancing around. However, he had never thought that he would be able to see Pei Huoyu’s true appearance.
But now…
Although he knew that the other party’s words were motivating, he couldn’t help but size up Pei Huoyu again and again after Shen Ping came back to his senses.
The curves under her light armor seemed to be natural, without any excess beauty. Although the round arc in front of her was not as arrogant as Yu Yan and Mu Jin’s, the pear-like pearls combined with her tall figure made her look extremely charming.
If such a perfect figure stood naked in front of him, the scene would have been reflected in Shen Ping’s pupils.
He seemed to have seen through the fair and moist skin under the light armor dress. The delicate meridian patterns on the surface kept extending in all directions. Some climbed rock peaks, and some went into the sea to the abyss.
Pei Huoyu did not care about the fearlessness in Shen Ping’s eyes at all. She said indifferently, “The physical body of cultivators is only an external object. Only the Dao heart is the most important. The light armor dress I’m wearing has not been taken off for a long time. If Fellow Daoist Shen can really firm your Dao heart, there’s no harm in taking it off for you.”
Her voice sounded in the quiet room. Shen Ping, who was in a reverie, immediately came back to his senses. Although he really wanted to see Perfected Pei’s elegance, dual cultivating every day was his Dao heart.
Faced with so many temptations, how could he shake this Dao heart!
Hence, Shen Ping said again, “I appreciate Senior Pei’s good intentions. However, my wife and concubines are the love of my life. They wait for me every night. If I don’t accompany them for a long time, 1 will inevitably feel disappointed. Cultivation is important, and so is s.e.x. I want both.”
Pei Huoyu was rather surprised. She originally thought that using such a method that suited Fellow Daoist Shen’s preference would achieve a very good effect, but the other party’s choice was unexpected.
“Since Fellow Daoist Shen loves s.e.x so much, then forget…”
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Ping’s tone suddenly changed. “Senior Pei, if I can enter the Hidden Dragon Rankings, I wonder if the conditions just now are still acceptable?”
Pei Huoyu was speechless. She only wanted Shen Ping to cultivate with all his might, not give herself away as a reward. “Fellow Daoist Shen. I’m a Daoist Protector, not a Daoist Companion.”
As her voice fell, the entire quiet room seemed to have become cold. Shen Ping shuddered and hurriedly said, “Senior Pei, please forgive me. I was rash.”
With that, he bowed and left. He thought to himself that he was still a little too obsessed. How could he covet a Golden Core expert like Pei Huoyu?
However, just as he retreated to the door of the quiet room, a voice transmission sounded in his ear. “If you can make it to the top three of the Hidden Dragon Ranking five times in a row before heading to the headquarters, what 1 said before will still count. Moreover, 1 can change into the dress you like.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, your physical body is only external. I hope you can remember this and not make a mistake.”
Shen Ping’s eyes lit up. He stopped and bowed solemnly before leaving for Perfected Qiu’s room.
Pei Huoyu smirked. Then, she let out a long sigh. This Talisman Master really loved this path and was beyond redemption.
The moment Shen Ping stepped into the room, he could no longer suppress the anger in his lower abdomen. He went forward and pulled off Perfected Qiu’s dress, which was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed. The force produced by his jade bone body suddenly rushed forward.
In an instant, a sharp sword appeared in the sky.
A few days later, in the inner region of the Yulin Mountain Range. The cloud boat floated above a low and continuous mountain.
“This will do.” Shen Ping and his wife and concubines landed on the ground one after another. With the two powerful Golden Core cultivators, Pei Huoyu and Perfected Qiu, guarding them, nothing would happen to his wife and concubines even if they were outside the inner region.
Next, he first took two hours to study and comprehend the runes in the twelve special spirit runes. The rest of the time was used to familiarize himself with the use of the first scroll of the talisman beast diagram.
Boom!
Every time the talisman beast diagram exploded, it would cause quite a commotion and even attract powerful Level 2 demon beasts. With Shen Ping’s current strength, he did not need Perfected Pei to take action at all. He could easily deal with Level 2 demon beasts by himself.
This continued for ten consecutive days.
Shen Ping was immersed in his familiarity with and control of the talisman beast diagram. His powerful Golden Core divine sense played an important role in this process. On the twelfth day, he was already familiar with the power of this patterned talisman beast.
Zhongsheng Continent.
True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters
In the Mountain Fire Hall.
The Lord of the Mountain Fire Hall, who was wearing a red robe, looked down at the disciples who were bowing below and said with a gentle smile, “Disciple, the core jade token has been distributed. It will officially open tomorrow. Currently, less than ten new core disciples, including you this year, have successfully mastered the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture. Therefore, in the first half of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, you will definitely be able to enter the top ten. With your comprehension speed in the Talisman Scripture, 1 believe you will only need a few years to suppress other skill geniuses and reach the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
“In addition, I’ve already applied for you to go to the Talisman Scripture Pool. Your progress will be faster if you comprehend it for a period of time.”
A man with an angular face and resolute eyes said respectfully, “Thank you, Master!”
Mountain Fire Hall Master nodded and continued, “Disciple, the Hidden Dragon Ranking is not difficult for you. My expectations for you are the Glory Ranking. That is your goal.”
Speaking of this, he sighed softly and said, “The rewards for the top three are too generous. Although this top-notch resource restriction reward is nothing to me, it’s very important to those core members who are stuck in the Nascent Soul realm.
“As for the core members of the four levels of the True Treasure Pavilion, as long as they haven’t broken through to the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm, they are all qualified. Therefore, the compet.i.tion on the Glory Ranking this time will be extremely intense.
“You’re only at the Foundation Establishment realm now. Your cultivation time is too short. As long as you can enter the rankings, it’s a great honor!”
Level Six spirit vein cave abode.
Hall Master Dan I lai said with a solemn expression, “Ling’er, although your talent in alchemy is very outstanding, there’s still a big gap between you and those top alchemy geniuses in the past. However, you have a special body. If you can really comprehend it, your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary. And this Glory and Hidden Dragon Rankings is your chance!”
Yu Qingling’s expression turned solemn. “Master, Ling’er will definitely go all out.”
In the desert area of the Southern Flame Continent. A handsome man in a plain white robe sat on the Qilin carriage floating in the air. He looked at the few Nascent Soul cultivators who gradually appeared around him with an indifferent expression. “I’ll give you ten breaths to disappear from my sight.”
Boom!
However, what responded to this handsome man was boundless magic power. In an instant, this world was swept up by the violent magic powers of the Nascent Soul.
“You’re really overestimating yourself. Why didn’t a Nascent Soul cultivator who doesn’t even have a spiritual ancient treasure hide in the cave abode and cultivate in seclusion? Why did you come out to court death?!”
Thousands of sword-lights suddenly exploded out from within the carriage. Every single sword-light seemed to have a formation activated. In the blink of an eye, these thousands of sword-lights floated within an area of tens of thousands of meters. Soon, the sword-lights interwoven into an enormous formation.
As the formation appeared, there seemed to be an ancient beast roaring in this world.
Puff! Puff!
The moment several Nascent Souls heard the beast roar, the Nascent Souls condensed in their dantian covered their ears in pain. Then, their entire bodies exploded from the inside out. In the end, not even a piece of their clothes fell.
The handsome man shook his head gently when he saw this. “Nascent Souls in small places are always arrogant. It’s a pity that they’ve cultivated bitterly for so many years.” Suddenly, he was delighted. “The trial will open tomorrow. I’ve reserved the top ten of the Glory Ranking!”
Swoosh.
The Qilin carriage turned into a beam of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Almost at the same time, all the core members of the True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters received the news from the jade token.
The trial s.p.a.ce determined the ranking of the Glory and Hidden Dragon. It was related to restricted resources. Be it the Nascent Soul realm, the Golden Core realm, the Foundation Establishment realm, or the other cores, they were all silently waiting for midnight to arrive.
As for the various hall masters, pavilion masters, boat-level Nascent Souls… Even some experts who often went into seclusion paid attention to the jade token rankings.
In the past, although core members were valued, they had never been given such a generous amount of resources. Therefore, as long as there was nothing wrong with their brains, they could smell something unusual.
Yongyang Market.
In a quiet room in a small courtyard, Pei Huoyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, opened her eyes and took out her ident.i.ty jade token.
“Junior Sister, after midnight, the rankings will begin. Now, the higher-ups of the headquarters are all paying attention. If anyone can rush to the top of the rankings, it will definitely attract the attention of the various hall masters. You must remind Talisman Master Shen to go all out.” Li Yin’s voice sounded.
Pei Huoyu was stunned for a moment. “Senior Brother, it’s just the rankings. Why would it attract the attention of the Hall Masters in the headquarters?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe the headquarters wants to see the effect of the first time they put in this jade token s.p.a.ce. In any case, just remember to remind him.”
He ended the transmission.
Pei Huoyu hesitated for a moment before getting up and going to the talisman room. Seeing that Shen Ping was making talismans, she waited for a moment. When he was done, she said, “The trial a.s.sessment will begin soon. Fellow Daoist Shen, it’s best for you to rest tonight.”
Shen Ping nodded with a smile. “Thank you for your reminder, Senior Pei. I’ll go to the quiet room later..”
