Chapter 191: Don’t Joke

He opened the jade box.
A drop of blue blood floated in the air. It emitted a blue fluorescent light and looked dazzling. If one observed carefully, they would discover that there was a huge beast sleeping in the depths of the entire drop of blood.
Shen Ping stared at it. A ripple appeared in his heart.
In the cultivation world of the five continents and four seas, most cultivators would be restricted by their spiritual root apt.i.tude. The higher the level of a cultivator, the greater the restriction on their apt.i.tude. For example, if a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator could smoothly cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, it was very likely that they would advance to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.
But the cultivation speed of cultivators with dual-element spiritual roots slowed down due to an additional spiritual root. Although they could also rely on resources and opportunities to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, at this level, it would become difficult for them to take a step forward. If they were given the resources to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, they might need several times more to break through.
The apt.i.tude of the three types of spiritual roots was even worse. Under the circ.u.mstances of the same resources, unless they encountered a huge opportunity, the Golden Core realm was the limit of such cultivators.
As for the remaining four types of impure spiritual roots and five types of pseudo spiritual roots, if they did not have any methods to change their fate, Foundation Establishment would be the end of their Great Dao.
However, the blood of the strange beast in front of him was a strange object that broke through the restrictions of apt.i.tude.
After any cultivator consumed it, the cultivation speed would constantly increase under the subtle influence of the blood. Moreover, to a certain extent, it could directly cross the greatest bottleneck of cultivation like Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and so on.
The main reason why the True Treasure Pavilion dared to spend so much to nurture geniuses with skill talent was because of this strange beast blood.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, most cultivators with talent in techniques would be immersed in their techniques, causing their cultivation to fall behind other battle cultivators who were focused on raising their cultivation realm and increasing the power of spells and divine powers. The higher the cultivator’s cultivation level, the more obvious the difference.
Therefore, in the sect, although skill-type cultivators were valued, their status was inferior to true disciples with outstanding spiritual root apt.i.tude.
The True Treasure Pavilion was different, though. There was the existence of the blood of strange beasts. The natural shackles of spiritual root apt.i.tude were completely broken. Coupled with the general outline of the core cultivation technique, the Beast Scripture, it allowed skill-type cultivators to erupt with unprecedented potential and strength.
It was precisely because of this that the True Treasure Pavilion especially valued skill-type geniuses. They did not even hesitate to send powerful Dao Protectors to protect such cultivators when they were weak. After all, when cultivators with skill talent diverted their attention to study skills, it was very difficult for them to take care of cultivation spells and sharpen their combat experience.
Without a Dao Protector, they were like fish on a chopping board that could be plundered and slaughtered by the cultivators.
“The blood of the blue strange beast is purer than the blood of the bronze strange beast. The increase is greater, but if one wants to digest and absorb it to the greatest extent, it’s best to be in the Golden Core realm!” The information of this restricted resource flashed through his mind.
Shen Ping did not hesitate anymore. He immediately used his Foundation Establishment magic powers to control the blue blood to drip onto his palm. Although he was at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, with Perfected Qiu’s Sea Anemone Body, he did not have to worry about converting and absorbing.
Boom.
When the blue blood had just touched the skin of his palm, the strange beast blood that originally existed in his body boiled again. The drop of blue in his palm quickly seeped into his skin and spread throughout his body at an extremely fast speed along the blood.
Instantly, Shen Ping felt as if his blood was in a furnace, constantly boiling and burning. The boiling blood burned his meridians and bones crazily, as if it wanted to completely melt his body. The golden light on the surface of his bones shone. The Vajra Body unleashed its power and endured the boiling of blood like a rock.
Of course, even without the Vajra Body, he could also withstand it. His meridians and bones would just be damaged, but he would slowly recover under the help of the blue strange beast blood.
Boom!
This state lasted for ten minutes before it finally dissipated. Immediately after, waves of surging energy burst out from the blue strange beast blood that had seeped into his body.
Shen Ping’s pupils turned blue. He immediately circulated his cultivation technique. The heaven-grade spiritual roots in his body were crazily absorbing this energy and converting it into his Foundation Establishment magic power through the circulation of the cycle.
The higher the quality of the spiritual root, the stronger the absorption and transformation effect.
Time pa.s.sed quietly. Three days later, the magic aura in the main quiet room suddenly rose and vibrated. It lasted for a full two minutes before the aftershock of this vibration disappeared. He opened his eyes.
Shen Ping’s blue pupils flashed and quickly returned to their original black color. The blue strange beast blood in his body calmed down. His cultivation level had increased from the fourth level of Foundation Establishment to the fifth level.
After stabilizing his realm, he silently stood up and used his divine sense to sense the Foundation Establishment magic powers in his dantian and meridians again. He could not help but feel emotional.
In just a few days, his cultivation realm actually broke through again. Although Shen Ping knew that the medium-grade resources of the True Treasure Pavilion were extraordinary, this effect was still shocking.
It had to be known that his Foundation Establishment magic power was seven to eight times stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level. Under the first wave of blood feedback energy, he had already increased by a level. If he completely absorbed and transformed it, it would probably not be a problem for him to form a Golden Core.
Of course, the main increase brought by the blood of the strange beast was actually the effect of acc.u.mulating over time on all aspects of cultivation.
Late at night, under the pink brocade veil, the two figures under the light intersected with each other. Sometimes, they overlapped, and sometimes, they undulated into a vertical shape. After repeating this repeatedly, a little rain quickly sprinkled down in the room, landing in the steaming wooden bucket and causing fine ripples.
Yu Yan bit a strand of black hair at the corner of her lips. Her beautiful face was filled with charm. The sweet grapefruits were sparkling. It seemed to have some white decorations.
When they regained their strength, the two of them soaked in the wooden bucket.
“Husband, you’re becoming more and more skilled and brave. Even without the Snow Ganoderma Pill and the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment, I can’t resist it. If this continues, I’m afraid I can only wash my face with tears every time in the future.” Yu Yan was charming and tender. Although her fondness was not as deep as his wife, w.a.n.g Yun, Shen Ping could understand the emotions in her heart.
When Shen Ping heard this, he couldn’t help but reach out and hug Yu Yan’s waist. He lowered his head and kissed her charming face. Then, he closed his eyes and shook his head. “These tears are not sweet. Instead, they have the taste of roasted meat. Yu Yan, you’ve been eating a little too much roasted meat recently. If you eat any more, you’ll be unable to leave like Ying’er.”
“Hmph. It’s not just me. Yun’er, Ying’er, Qing’er, and the others all eat roasted meat every day. They’ve long been used to this taste. How can they leave so easily?” Yu Yan rolled her eyes at Shen Ping and suddenly sent a voice transmission. “I think that the Perfected One in the quiet room might like Yun’er’s roasted meat.”
Shen Ping said calmly, “You can’t joke about this.”
Yu Yan turned around. The sweet grapefruits were pressed into a flat circle. Just as the corners of her lips were about to reach Shen Ping’s face, she suddenly pinched the swimming white snake puppet from under the water and chuckled. “Although I’m joking, your puppet seems to have taken it seriously.”
Her voice became ethereal, and her charming face actually became valiant. “Fellow Daoist Shen, I have high-grade spiritual spring water here. Not only is it sweet and delicious, but it also has a strange fragrance.”
The top-notch charm illusion technique that Yu Yan had switched to had methods similar to the Thousand Faces Charm Technique. Now that she combined them and used them, she imitated them perfectly.
Shen Ping’s divine sense had long reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. If he wanted to see through it, he could naturally do it at a glance. However, he did not do so. Instead, he admired the valiant figure in his arms.
He just watched and watched. The white snake puppet became even more inflated. After a while, the hot water from the wooden bucket caused ripples in the distance. Amidst the steam that was like spiritual mist, a voice sounded intermittently. “Husband, you still said that you don’t like to joke.”
At one in the morning, Shen Ping returned to the quiet room from Perfected Qiu’s room and began to comprehend every day. His gaze swept across the other virtual frames and stopped on the pink frame.
[You have dual cultivated with your Dao Companion once. You have received +4 puppet experience.]
[You and your Dao Companion are in love. Current Emotional Points: 100+30]
[Inner Charm Fire Body Effect: You have received an additional divine sense
+1]
[Immersion Effect: Const.i.tution +2, Soul Power +1]
[Feedback Effect: Not Activated]
[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 10]
[Pink Bonus: 200]
[Puppet Great Divine Power: Five Elements Forbidden Divine Light (100) (370/1,000)]
[Const.i.tution: Jade Bone Body (4/50,000)]
[Puppet Master: High-grade Level 3 (1,120,000/4,800,000)]
[Divine sense: Mid-stage Golden Core (850,000/1,000,000)]
The attributes of the pink frame increased the fastest.
Furthermore, after his physique transformed to the Vajra Body, the limit of his divine sense that he could withstand was no longer limited to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. However, Yu Yan was in a critical period of polishing her spiritual energy and needed to enter seclusion often. Therefore, he did not spend as much time dual cultivating with Yu Yan as his other wife and concubines.
“The feedback effect…” Shen Ping frowned. Ever since it transformed into a pink frame, this column had never changed. For example, before Perfected Qiu’s special physique was activated, he had a direction to work towards. However, up until now, he did not know how to obtain this feedback.
After thinking about it, he finally looked at his Emotional Degree.
Yu Yan’s feelings for him rose steadily under the painstaking care and concern day and night. Among them, the left side of the 100+30 had already reached its limit, but the right side had not changed these days.
Previously, Shen Ping thought that he had reached a bottleneck, but now, it seemed that might not be the case.
“Could it be that the right side shows my feelings for Yan?” He could not help but have this thought. Then, it was difficult to sweep it away again. However, Shen Ping quickly thought of Yu Yan’s abnormal behavior today. She had actually used a bewitching technique to change her appearance. This had never happened before.
At that time, he did not think too much about it, but now that he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. After all, with Yu Yan’s personality and cultivation and strength, even if she wanted to increase the fun during s.e.x, she would not make such a joke rashly.
Thinking of this, Shen Ping sighed helplessly.. “When one’s feelings run deep… even Yu Yan’s broad mind will inevitably lose balance!”
