Chapter 255: Everyone Shows Their Divine Powers (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The spiritual energy environment in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion was very abundant. It was not something that a place like Qingyang City and the Linhai Immortal City could compare to. Shen Ping, who had just taken the a.s.sessment once, knew very well that in such a cultivation place, even ordinary cultivators with impure spiritual roots could easily build their foundation. Even Golden Core cultivators had a high chance.
As for the four main elements of cultivation, wealth, companionship, law, and land. Apart from the spiritual energy environment, the headquarters also had rare resources that were difficult to find in five continents and four seas. For example, more than 40% of the restricted resources were not available in the other sects in the Zhongsheng Continent.
It was precisely because of this that the right to live on the island in the core area of the headquarters was very precious.
Usually, only the high-level experts of the various halls could live there permanently. The core geniuses of the various techniques with outstanding talent were qualified to live there before the Pseudo Nascent Soul Realm. However, once they reached the Pseudo Nascent Soul Realm, they had to go to the five continents and four seas to train themselves. If they failed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, they would no longer be able to enter the headquarters. In the end, they could only join a boat-level faction or go to the headquarters of the various departments in the various states to be in charge.
Even if they broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, it did not mean that they could enter the headquarters safely. They had to comprehend the Beast Scripture to the level of a beast bone before they were qualified to stay in the headquarters and continue cultivating.
As for the members of the hall like Pei Huoyu, who were not proficient in alchemy, talismans, weapon arrays, and other skills, the requirements were even harsher.
Although Shen Ping did not know much about this, he had occasionally heard Pei Huoyu mention it when she chatted with him. Therefore, he understood how difficult it was to let his wife, concubine, and Dao companions have the right to stay there temporarily.
Unexpectedly, he already had such conditions now that he had just advanced to the Glory Ranking.
“To be able to comprehend the final form of the second volume of the Beast Form in four hours, such talent is enough to attract the attention of the main hall experts of the headquarters. However, their status is high and they won’t come personally. Therefore, the main reason why the hall masters of the various halls have descended this time is to recruit you for the main hall experts behind them.”
There was a hint of envy on Pei Huoyu’s lips as she continued, “The Mountain Fire Hall and my master will come to the Linhai Immortal City in the near future.”
There were three major factions in the True Treasure Pavilion. They were the hall, pavilion, and boat. The core geniuses of the A and B levels would be able to join the halls in the future. The most outstanding ones would even be able to enter the higher-level main hall.
As for the remaining C- and D-ranks, their treatment was worse. They could only go to pavilions, boats, and other forces. For example, Wu Shan that Shen Ping had encountered before belonged to this category.
Therefore, although the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion was rich in resources, the ranks of the experts inside were strict. Hall-level members, even if they had the same cultivation level, were not people that Pavilion-level and Boat-level could provoke. This involved the distribution of many benefits. The main reason why a Boat-level member, Wu Shan, was so respectful when he sent Shen Ping back to Qingyang City was because of Shen Ping’s new core ident.i.ty and Pei Huoyu’s protection.
If it was just an ordinary new core, Wu Shan would not treat him so respectfully. Similarly, If it were Ancestor Jinyang, he would not be as respectful as Wu Shan even if he knew Pei Huoyu’s ident.i.ty.
The reason was that they had different experiences and knowledge. But now, the hall masters of the various halls descended. No matter which main hall Shen Ping chose in the end, his status would quickly increase. As a Golden Core cultivator, Pei Huoyu had yet to cultivate to the realm where she could indifferently see the seven emotions and six desires. Naturally, she would be envious.
After all, the True Treasure Pavilion was different from most sects and factions in the five continents and four seas. Here, there were medicinal pills, dharma treasures, cultivation techniques, and all kinds of cultivation resources. There were even items that could a.s.sist in cultivating divine powers.
In order to increase their combat strength and cultivation realm, other cultivators had no choice but to take risks and explore ancient ruins. They fought and obtained medicinal pills and Dharma treasures by luck. However, when they arrived at the True Treasure Pavilion, as long as one’s talent was outstanding, they could easily obtain them.
The Tai Yan Sect of the Zhongsheng Continent and the Moon Lotus Holy Sect also had the same treatment, but their resources were not as strong as the True Treasure Pavilion.
Hearing Pei Huoyu’s words, Shen Ping suddenly understood. When he comprehended the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture and charged for the ranking of the trial, he did not think too much. It was mainly because he did not expect that he could directly pa.s.s the fifth level after copying more than 60% of the strange beasts.
From the looks of it, four hours was indeed a little too shocking. Fortunately, it was the True Treasure Pavilion that valued skill geniuses. Otherwise, if it was in the sect, perhaps it would not attract the attention of the higher-ups, but the covetous eyes of powerful cultivators. However, this matter still made him vigilant. He was secretly wary of himself in the future.
“Talisman Master Shen, although our Sword Hall doesn’t belong to any main hall, it’s rather special in the True Treasure Pavilion. Other than the conditions that you promised previously, no matter what needs you have, the Sword Hall will try its best to satisfy them.” The sword envoy had a sincere expression.
They chatted for a while. Shen Ping did not give a definite reply. He only said that he would seriously consider it. Then, he bade farewell to the Sword Envoy and left Virtue Tower.
The two of them sat side by side in the Cloud Beast Carriage. A faint fragrance lingered.
“Have you considered it, Perfected Pei?”
“Fellow Daoist Shen, have you considered it?”
The two of them spoke almost at the same time. Shen Ping smiled. “Perfected Pei seems to have a tacit understanding with me.” He sniffed. The smile on his face widened. “A Golden Core cultivator’s body is untainted, but you took a rare bath last night. I wonder what you were contaminated with?”
They had been together for so long. When Pei Huoyu saw Shen Ping’s expression, she knew that his heart was starting to stir. Helpless, she looked away and replied, “Fellow Daoist Shen knows better than me what it is. As for your request, 1 still need time..”
