Chapter 193: The overall situation should be given priority
Inside the magnificent palace.
There is a huge mountain pattern on the jade floor, and standing here you will feel a heavy sense of solemnity.
now.
The Mountain Fire Hall Master, who was wearing a stone-yellow robe, listened to his subordinates' reports and flicked his sleeves behind him. "So, each hall has sent its core members? Is there any movement from Elder Mingsong?"
His subordinate shook his head and said, "Palace Master, there has been no movement for the time being. Senior Brother Li Yin has stayed in his palace for the past few days and has not gone out."
The Mountain Fire Hall Master frowned slightly, "My junior brother is really able to keep his composure... How is the progress of that little fellow's talisman scripture?"
His subordinate hurriedly said, "It is said that he has begun to study the meridian patterns. According to the speed at which he studies the talisman scripture, it seems that he is getting faster and faster as time goes by. In two years at most, he may be able to fully master the basic twelve spiritual patterns."
The Mountain Fire Hall Master sighed, "This speed is much slower than when Jing Yu first learned the basics of the Talisman Scripture. But this little fellow is so amazing in his understanding and comprehension of the Beast Form Scroll. He has never entered the Beast Scripture Pavilion, but he has been able to comprehend the final state of the Beast Form. It is truly amazing."
"What a pity! If we had discovered this genius earlier, perhaps..."
He didn't say the last word.
But his subordinates already understood the regret in the palace master's words.
Such monsters originally had a great chance of becoming members of the Mountain Fire Palace. As long as they were carefully cultivated, there was a good chance that they would become palace masters in the future. The birth of a palace master would definitely increase the Mountain Fire Palace's voice in the entire Moon Spirit Palace and gain more resources and benefits.
But now we have Master Jing Yu.
It is difficult for the Palace Master to recruit another core talisman master. Even if he puts aside his face, it is difficult for him to take good care of some key resources.
not to mention.
Now that all the halls have taken action, their Mountain Fire Hall has obviously lost the best opportunity.
"Palace Master."
"Master Jing Yufu wants to see you."
There are guards reporting at the palace gate.
Shanhuodian waved his hand, and his subordinates turned and left.
After a while.
With a resolute expression and a hint of unwillingness between his brows, Jing Yu stood in the center of the hall. He bowed respectfully and said, "Master, can I apply to enter the Beast Sutra Pavilion again?"
The Mountain Fire Palace Master's mouth twitched.
Beast Scripture Pavilion.
The extremely precious core resources of Zhenbao Tower are, in a sense, much more important than restricted items.
You can't just enter whenever you want.
The last time he used it, it cost him a lot.
I thought I could get Master Jing Yu to be consistently in the top three of the Hidden Dragon List and get medium-restricted resources, but I never expected that he would be easily suppressed.
"Jing Yu."
"Every opportunity to comprehend in the Beast Sutra Pavilion is crucial. You have just been in. If you apply again, the effect will not be much. Wait a little longer. After you are reviewed and evaluated, you can enter again!"
Jing Yu's heart sank.
It will take another ten years for headquarters to conduct review and assessment.
Wait another ten years.
He was afraid that it would be even more difficult for him to catch up with Master Shen Fu from the same class!
“Master…”
"Go back and study the fourth volume of the Talisman Beast Sutra. Sometimes cultivation requires time to settle down."
The Mountain Fire Palace Master waved his sleeves.
Jing Yu had no choice but to bow and say, "Yes, Master."
But when he turned around, he said in a firm tone: "Master, I will definitely be able to top the Hidden Dragon List before the review!"
After saying this, he stepped out of the palace gate.
The Mountain Fire Hall Master looked at Jing Yu's back, shook his head and sighed: "In ten years, that little guy might be able to make it to the Honor List. But it's good, having such a goal is not a bad thing for him."
…
Dozens of days later.
Lanhai Fairy City.
Deep in the Yulin Mountains, in this area near the core edge, the number of third-level monsters is gradually increasing. Ordinary Jindan Zhenren dare not come here easily. Only powerful Fake Infant Zhenren will occasionally come here to hunt monsters for precious materials, or search for rare spiritual grass treasures.
The reason why Shen Ping dared to come here was entirely because of the confidence brought by the new talisman beast map and the third-level top-grade thunder puppet. Of course, the most important thing was that he was accompanied by True Lord Yunya today.
Boom! Accompanied by the explosion of intertwined spiritual patterns.
The second-level stinging scorpion that rushed towards Shen Ping suddenly exploded, and blood and flesh splattered all over the ground.
Yunya Zhenjun smiled with his elegant face. He clapped his hands and said, "Master Shen is learning the basics of the Talisman Sutra faster and faster. He has mastered the principles of the vein pattern after only practicing it for less than a month. All that's left is to become more skilled in controlling the power and then he can master it completely!"
Shen Ping clasped his hands and said, "I can make such progress thanks to the guidance of Master Yunya."
"Master Shen Fu, there is no need to be modest."
"Your talent in Talismans is outstanding, and this is obvious to everyone. Although I have given you some pointers, it is not the main factor."
Shen Ping was just about to be humble again.
Pei Huoyu, who was standing not far away, said with a smile: "Alright, the two of you stop flattering each other. It's getting late, we should go back."
Shen Ping and Master Yunya laughed dryly.
moment.
On the cloud boat magic weapon wrapped in escaping light.
Yunya Zhenjun sent a voice message: "Master Shen Fu, have you offended Junior Sister Pei recently?"
Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, then he reviewed the past few days. It seemed that since he took off his armor that day, there was something wrong with Master Pei. It cannot be said that he was wrong, he was just a little irritable, not as calm as before.
If he had not considered the other party's cultivation level, he would have almost thought that it was because of Master Pei's bloody disaster, but the Jindan cultivator had long been free of such troubles.
"Senior Yunya."
"I have thought about it and I have never offended Master Pei."
Master Yunya noticed the change in Shen Ping's address. He smiled as if he understood something and said, "Master Shen Fu has a deep fortune."
As he spoke, he still gave a reminder: "Although Junior Sister Huoyu is determined to pursue the Tao, she is a cultivator after all, and sometimes she will inevitably have emotional problems. Master Shen Fu has many wives, concubines and Taoist companions, so I think he understands better than me."
When Shen Ping heard this, he reacted immediately.
He couldn't help but glance at Pei Huoyu's cheek, and saw that there seemed to be a trace of sadness brewing between her brows.
I have realized something.
He smiled and replied, "Thank you, Senior Yunya, for the reminder."
Arrived at the city gate.
Master Yunya left and returned to Lingfeng.
Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu rode the cloud beast carriage towards the residential courtyard of Yongyangfang. The cloud beast carriage was fast, but surprisingly stable. Even when studying Taoism in it, there was no sense of shaking.
"Is Master Pei worried about something?"
"No."
Shen Ping moved and sat closer to Pei Huoyu. The curves of her dress covered by her light armor were still so natural, but this time when he glanced at her, he seemed to see the white and perfect skin and flesh appearing before his eyes.
Take a deep breath slowly.
He tentatively placed his palm beneath the hem of her light armor dress.
Pei Huoyu only frowned slightly, but did not make any other scolding or movements.
This made Shen Ping happy, and he moved closer and said in a gentle voice: "Master Pei, you once said that the state of mind of a cultivator of our generation is equally important. If problems are accumulated and suppressed, sooner or later they will become inner demons and backfire on us at the moment of breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage."
"And Master Pei, you have the Blood Infant Crystal on you, and you are not far from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, so you must pay more attention to your state of mind."
Pei Huoyu said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Shen, don't worry, I'm fine."
Shen Ping's palm extended slightly forward a few times.
"Is there really no problem?"
Pei Huoyu nodded.
So he groped his way towards the main road again.
Although the outside of the Taoist base was covered with light armor, making it difficult to feel the subtle changes inside, this attempt still made Shen Ping nervous and his spirits were always tense.
Pei Huoyu stared straight ahead at the cloud beast carriage, her brows furrowed more deeply, and her heartbeat quickened slightly, until the broad palm completely covered the light armor, she could not help but say: "It's almost there!"
“There’s still some distance to go.”
"I just want to help Master Pei confirm if he has any mental problems. It may take a while. I hope Master Pei will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter. The body is just external."
Shen Ping nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Pei is right."
He made up his mind.
The other hand wrapped around the waist of the light armor dress.
Pei Huoyu turned his eyes to the side, his heroic face trying hard to remain calm.
Shen Ping blinked.
Not long.
The cloud beast car stopped at the entrance of Yongyangfang Street.
The two returned to the detached house.
Looking at Pei Huoyu’s back.
Shen Ping said seriously, "I didn't understand Master Pei's state of mind well before, and I may need to continue to do so in the future."
The words fell.
Pei Huoyu paused, her face full of intense shame and anger. She wanted to come back to her senses and cast a fire spell on this good female talisman master, but she finally held back and uttered through her silver teeth: "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Shen's kindness!"
Return to the main quiet room.
Sit cross-legged on a cushioned futon.
Thinking of Pei Huoyu's suppressed embarrassment, Shen Ping couldn't help laughing and thought to himself, "Master Pei is really a strong-willed female cultivator!"
…
At night at 11:00 p.m.
Inside the spacious master bedroom.
"Husband."
Yu Yan walked forward seductively and put her arm around Shen Ping.
Wait for him to sit on the edge of the bed.
The beautiful girls surrounded him on both sides.
Fortunately, Shen Ping had long been accustomed to such beautiful scenery.
Open the virtual panel silently.
His eyes swept away again.
A luxurious purple crown, soft pink, two shining golden lights and deep silver appeared before his eyes, and finally fell on Yin Honglian, who still had an ordinary frame without any luster.
Crash.
With the sound of rippling water.
Shen Ping held his wives and concubines' slender waists and said with a gentle smile, "With you, my life of cultivation has hope!"
Bai Yuying said coquettishly: "My husband's words always warm my eyes to tears."
Shen Ping pinched her cheeks and kissed her. "Ying'er has been crying more and more recently. Yun'er, Qing'er, you should learn from her."
Yu Yan curled her lips in annoyance, "Husband should talk less and do more."
After a short rest, Shen Ping came to Qiu Ying's room. After all, she was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. If she was in the master bedroom with her wives and concubines, some unpredictable consequences might occur if she was not careful.
certainly.
The main reason is the body of a sea beast.
Although his Vajra Body was already able to control and restrain the boiling blood of the strange beast, in order to speed up the advancement of his cultivation level, he had to relax his physical condition twice a day and make the blue blood inside his body boil.
And each time it boils, one has to practice for half an hour.
If Qiu Ying stayed with his wives and concubines, then when he practiced and absorbed the blood of the blue strange beast, his wives, concubines and companions would have to wait.
So think again and again.
Shen Ping didn't let Qiu Ying go to the master bedroom.
It was busy until the morning.
After experiencing the powerful rushing technique.
He left satisfied.
When I returned to the main meditation room and was about to think about my next practice plan, I suddenly felt a surge of palpitations in my heart.
Haven't reacted yet.
Shen Ping's eyes suddenly widened.
The quiet room environment in front of me disappeared in an instant, and what followed was a pitch-black night sky.
In this night sky.
He felt oppressed all over.
It was as if there were densely packed unknown horrors all around.
Wow.
When the pupil contracts.
Shen Ping's thoughts returned to the quiet room. He took a deep breath, and the feeling of fear and oppression deep in his heart quickly disappeared.
call.
suck.
Take a dozen deep breaths in a row.
He calmed down.
"What happened just now? Why do I suddenly feel palpitations?"
His brows were furrowed.
Shen Ping felt vaguely uneasy. You know, he is now a cultivator who has reached 60% of the foundation building stage. His talisman and puppeteer skills have both reached the fourth level. At the same time, he has also studied out a new talisman beast diagram, which, combined with his talisman skills, can unleash superb power.
In addition.
There are other magical powers that have not been used.
Such means.
Not to mention a Jindan Zhenren, even if a Yuanying cultivator stood in front of him, he would not be as panicked as before, and it would be even more impossible for him to have this kind of palpitations.
Think about it seriously.
He opened the virtual panel.
The most likely source of change is in the attributes.
[Additional effect of Sea Beast Body: Strange Beast Bloodline Talent +2]
[Talent: Strange Beast Perception (416/1w)]
[Immersion effect: Physical fitness +2, Soul power +1]
[Physique: Diamond Body (3370/5w)]
[Wind Element Spiritual Root: Jade Grade (56w/120w)]
[Talisman Master: Fourth-level Lower Grade (470w/960w)]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
His eyes swept across the other virtual frames and finally fell on the silver frame that Qiu Ying belonged to. As expected, he found the source, and there was an extra column of talent on it.
"Strange Beast Sense... Could it be that the horrific scene that I saw just now due to my sudden palpitations was due to this talent?"
Shen Ping looked calm.
He has complete trust in the virtual panel.
Since the perception of strange beasts is a talent that appears on the panel and is related to strange beasts, it must be extraordinary, and seeing some unknown dangers is likely to be true.
He stood up and walked out of the main quiet room.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at the bright starry sky.
He was not sure whether the dark night sky he had seen before was the one above his head, but whether it was or not, the strange beast's perception should not be wrong.
Standing there for a long time.
Shen Ping shook his head and returned to the quiet room.
He is just a foundation-building cultivator.
If there really was danger in the night sky, it was not something he should worry about.
After all, the sky is falling.
There will always be someone strong to support us.
moment.
After meditation.
He thought about his future practice plans.
Improving the realm of cultivation is the most important thing. With the blood of the blue strange beast and jade spiritual roots, he only needs to meditate for three hours a day and practice dual cultivation with Master Qiu twice to maintain a high-efficiency absorption and transformation speed.
The second is the study and practice of the Talisman Beast Sutra. There is more to do in this aspect. After mastering the remaining meridian patterns and life patterns of the Talisman Beast Sutra, you must immediately practice and comprehend the "Qing Fu Sutra". Only after mastering the first four volumes can you begin to comprehend the second volume of the "Talisman Beast Sutra".
In addition to these.
It is also necessary to take time out every day to read the Qingfu Notes.
The last step is dual cultivation.
These three items are undoubtedly the top priorities, while the rest, such as accompanying wives, concubines and companions, going on outings, and making puppet objects, are only done occasionally when there is free time.
But this time.
Shen Ping added an extra item to his practice plan, which was to accompany his wives, concubines and fellow Taoists back to the Twelve Kingdoms.
…
And at the same time Shen Ping felt his heart palpitating.
In the distant Dongqian Continent, deep in an unknown and remote mountain range, an ancient formation carved with intricate blood-colored patterns was in operation.
And the center of the formation.
There were two Blood Luo guards sitting cross-legged.
suddenly.
One of the Xue Luo Guards had bursts of beast roars in his heart. His eyes suddenly opened and turned blood red in an instant. At the same time, the blood-colored textures on his skin quickly gathered into a pattern of a strange beast's roar on his chest.
roar!!
The roar of the strange beast that happened to Bai Yuxiu appeared again.
Almost instantly.
It spread out with the roar of beasts.
The area within a radius of ten thousand miles centered on the ancient blood formation was completely turned into powder.
boom.
The shadow warrior of Chunman Garden who was originally stationed here activated his most powerful defense the moment he noticed it, but he was still shaken by the energy aftermath of the roar. At the critical moment, he took out the life-saving item given by the abbot, and barely saved his life.
I was shocked.
The powerful shadowy figure immediately notified the headquarters.
moment.
Above the ancient blood formation, phantom thrones gathered.
When the head monk of Chunmanyuan saw this familiar scene, his brows furrowed into a knot.
Although the master said when teaching him the method of activating the ancient blood formation that once the formation was fully operational, it was possible to cause the strange beast to roar even if it was not activated, but this situation was very rare. As for triggering it twice, it was basically impossible!
But now...the roar of the strange beast was triggered again.
What are the consequences of this?
The head of Chunmanyuan already had some guesses in his mind.
"First seat."
"What on earth is going on with this ancient blood formation?"
The other powerful Blood Lord Shadows looked at the head of Chunmanyuan one after another.
The last time it broke out was on a deserted island.
They felt that something was fishy. After all, when they were looking for the ancient formation, the chief had told them that once the ancient formation was activated, the bloodline practice in Chunmanyuan would usher in a great event. But this time, even a blood master almost died.
"It was just a little bit of an accident."
The head of Chun Man Yuan said calmly, "If you want to break the shackles of blood, you must attract beings with stronger blood to come, and these beings are all unknowable and terrifying. Otherwise, how can you break through the shackles!"
"Great opportunities often come with great dangers."
Hearing this.
The other blood lord phantoms fell silent.
Of course they understood this truth, but they couldn't help but feel uneasy when such unexpected things happened twice in this ancient blood formation.
"Nine Blood Lord."
"Give orders to set up a defensive formation around each ancient blood formation."
"Also, remember, Blood Lord, if you notice something wrong, you must immediately use the things I gave you."
"Yes, First Master."
These phantoms of the Blood Lords responded one after another.
A few days later.
The valley of Zhongshengzhou.
Two huge thrones appeared again.
The warm and gentle voice directly questioned: "The barrier of the Five Continents and Four Seas has fluctuated for the third time. Even if the ancient blood formation is activated, it will definitely not fluctuate several times in a row. What are you doing?!"
This time, the head of Chunmanyuan was surprisingly silent.
He was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "It may be waking up..."
As soon as the words fell.
The space around the phantom of the warm-colored throne began to vibrate violently, and the dark and remote valley was instantly annihilated into nothingness in the vibration of the space.
moment.
The space returned to calm.
The warm and gentle voice sounded again, "Impossible."
The head of Chun Man Yuan sighed, "It was the roar of two strange beasts that caused the fluctuation of the barrier. You should know that only it can cause such movement."
Wen Run said calmly: "Even so, it is impossible for it to wake up. As long as Wuzhou Sihai is still here, as long as I am still here...it will definitely not have a chance to wake up!"
Speaking of.
Her voice turned cold, "Junior Brother! Stopping the ancient blood formation, no matter what the consequences are, is not something you and I can bear. When our master handed over the five continents and four seas to us, he wanted us to break out of the barrier with our own strength, not by other means!"
The shadow of the bloody throne twisted and swayed.
"It's too late!"
"Once the ancient blood formation is in motion, no one can stop it."
The head of Chun Man Yuan said again: "If it hadn't woken up... the situation would have been even worse."
…
A few days later.
The hall is filled with the aroma of food.
Shen Ping drank a few mouthfuls of the spiritual rice and lean meat porridge, then looked at his wives, concubines and fellow Taoists, asking about their recent practice.
His wife Wang Yun's voice was gentle and full of joy, "My dear, I am almost at the sixth level of Qi training."
Bai Yuying laughed and said, "Since Sister Yun'er changed her bloodline and bones, her cultivation speed has been much faster than my husband's in the beginning."
Yu Yan picked up a piece of barbecue and ate while saying, "My husband said that the initial stage of bloodline cultivation is indeed very fast, but the further you go, the slower the speed will be, and there will also be bloodline shackles. Yun'er, when you changed your bloodline, did Chun Manyuan tell you about the solution to this hidden danger?"
"Never."
Wang Yun shook her head and said nonchalantly: "It would be fine if I could cultivate to the level of a golden elixir. Then I can accompany my husband for hundreds of years."
Shen Ping frowned, "Hundreds of years is only a very short moment in the process of cultivating longevity. Yun'er, don't say such things again in the future. And Ying'er, Qing'er, don't have such thoughts either. Your husband hopes that you can accompany me and continue on this journey together."
"Husband."
"I understand."
Although Wang Yun has grown a lot older, she has always maintained her well-behaved character and has never disobeyed Shen Ping's words.
Bai Yuying's voice was soft as she changed the subject, "The rare treasure that my husband gave us last time was indeed very effective, far exceeding the auxiliary elixirs of the Qi training stage. During the days that Ying'er has taken it, under the effect of the medicine, she has already cultivated to the eighth level of Qi training."
"And the growth rate hasn't slowed down at all. I may be able to complete my Qi training in another two or three years."
When Luo Qing saw Shen Ping looking at her, her arrogant and cold face softened, "My husband, my cultivation speed is also very fast. With the blessing of my bloodline, I am not far from the ninth level of Qi training."
Shen Ping nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."
Then he looked at Mu Jin.
This external member who used to work in Zhenbaolou in Yunshanfang has been almost completely obedient since she followed him. She never hesitates to do anything he asks her to do, and she can also comply with some of his peculiar interests that are usually inconvenient for his wives and concubines.
It's just that Shen Ping has always paid little attention to her, so it is still a silver frame now.
"Thank you, husband, for the precious resources you have given me."
"I have already broken through to the ninth level of Qi training. In another half a year, I may be able to try to build a foundation."
There was joy in Mu Jin's eyes.
She was very glad that she made the decision in Qingyang City.
Shen Ping nodded and his eyes fell on Yin Honglian.
Compared to others.
Yin Honglian's presence in this family is even lower.
But he still treated him with the same resources, and because of this, the latter's favorability rose to the normal limit in recent years.
Yin Honglian was still wearing the fiery red dress. Although her appearance was not stunning, her fiery and straightforward personality always made Shen Ping's heart burn with passion.
"Thank you for your concern, my husband. I just broke through to the seventh level of foundation building a few days ago."
Next is Master Qiu.
Among her wives, concubines and Taoist companions, she had achieved the greatest improvement. Not only had she broken through from the middle stage of the Golden Core to the late stage, but she had also benefited from taking sea ginseng. Although she was still at the seventh stage of the Golden Core, her magic power was becoming stronger and stronger.
However, whether it is the new beast map, the talent of the strange beast, or the increase in cultivation, Shen Ping obtained them all through dual cultivation with Qiu Ying. It can be said that the gains she has brought are the best at present.
Finally, Yu Yan smiled and said, "I have already reached the second level of foundation building."
Shen Ping nodded, his eyes swept across the faces of his wives and concubines, who were looking forward to their future cultivation. He couldn't help but smile and clenched his fists, "Keep working hard!"
"Yes, husband!"
All the wives, concubines and fellow Taoists raised their hands and clenched their fists.
There was a sense of thriving in the charming voice.
…
The next day.
The sacred peak where Yunya Zhenjun resides.
Shen Ping met the purple-robed monk Li Yin from the Mountain Fire Hall again.
A few pleasantries.
Shen Ping and Master Yunya walked to the pavilion.
Pei Huoyu hesitated and said, "Brother, you have a lot of things to do in the palace. If you have anything important to tell me, you can just tell me directly. Why did you come here in person?"
Li Yin's face darkened, "Junior sister, I heard from Master Yunya that you seem to have some mental problems recently, and you have targeted Master Shen Fu several times."
Pei Huoyu snorted, "Since when did Senior Brother Yunya start to like talking nonsense so much!"
"Confused!"
Li Yin scolded, "Yun Ya doesn't dare to go against his master's words, so he pays attention to every detail. And since it involves Master Shen Fu, how can he not take it seriously!"
Speaking of this.
He stared at Pei Huoyu and continued, "Usually in the hall, you occasionally have a temper, and your senior brothers and master will let you do what you want. But this time is different. Master Shen Fu is not an ordinary new core... He who passed the fourth level of the trial assessment will not only easily become an A-level core, but as long as he does not die in the future, he has a great chance of becoming a hall master-level strongman!"
"As the core of the Mountain Fire Palace, no matter what happens, you should always put the overall situation of the palace first!"
Pei Huoyu couldn't help but blurt out, "For the sake of the overall situation, I have already..."
…
PS: I’ll start with 7,000 today and save some manuscripts. I’ll try to update as early as possible tomorrow with 10,000 so that everyone doesn’t have to wait too late.
