Chapter 197 Still Too Weak

The next day.

Chen time.

Shen Ping finished his meditation and took out the communication talisman to take a look. Matchmaker Zeng did not respond, but he did not care and stood up and walked towards the hall.

After last night's blessing.

All of his wives, concubines and Taoist companions were bright and beautiful. The fragrance of the petals of the Manling grass emanating from them made people calm their minds and eliminate all distracting thoughts.

After sitting down.

He first drank a mouthful of the spiritual rice and lean meat porridge, then looked at Luo Qing, who was as cold as a solitary bamboo, and said, "Qing'er, come with me to the Ze Country in a few days."

Luo Qing's eyes lit up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her thin red lips, "Husband, thank you."

When Bai Yuying heard this, she said in a coquettish tone, "Husband, Ying'er also wants to go to Zeguo with you."

Before Shen Ping could speak, she turned sideways and crossed her arms as usual. She was prone to getting irritated in the early morning, and this action made Shen Ping even angrier.

Reach out your hand.

He pressed his palm on Bai Yuying's shoulder.

Shen Ping's face became serious: "Ying'er, the most important thing for you now is to practice hard and strive to build your foundation as soon as possible, otherwise your husband will definitely punish you severely."

Bai Yuying cried out, but her pretty face didn't show any tension. Instead, her eyes were full of anticipation as she said, "I'm not afraid of my husband's punishment. It's nothing more than eating Dewanglou's signature dishes a few more times, hehe."

She stuck out her tongue as she spoke.

Watching this scene.

The corners of Shen Ping's mouth twitched involuntarily, thinking that this punishment seemed to be unable to scare Bai Yuying, whose demands were increasing day by day. So after thinking about it for a while, he smiled faintly and said, "Although this punishment is still a signature dish, you can only look at it, not eat it... and I will also add some condiments, such as Xuezhi Pills and Lingyu Ginseng Paste, which I believe will greatly increase the flavor of the signature dish."

Bai Yuying's expression suddenly froze.

Seeing this, the wives and concubines covered their mouths and laughed.

Yu Yan said at this time: "Husband, sister Ying'er usually practices very hard, and practice requires relaxation. It's a rare opportunity to return to Qingyang City this time, why don't we go to Zeguo with Qing'er and husband to relax."

Shen Ping did not respond immediately, but asked, "Qing'er, what do you think?"

Luo Qing nodded slightly.

"good."

"Then let's go together."

After dinner.

He and Pei Huoyu left the courtyard and came to the headquarters where the Zhenbao Tower was located in Qingyang City.

Breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building.

The various magical weapons on his body could not keep up with his strength.

Although for the foundation-building cultivators.

There are enough magical instruments to use.

But Shen Ping's foundation is extraordinary. The magic power in his Dantian is extremely strong, far exceeding that of people at the same level. He does not feel any difficulty even in controlling the magic weapon.

Follow the wooden stairs to the third floor.

Step through the door.

Waves of spiritual pressure came upon me, along with vague and obscure divine senses.

Shen Ping glanced at them casually.

The powerful golden elixir consciousness spread out.

In an instant.

All spiritual consciousness retracted.

Now he is no longer the Qi training cultivator who could only rely on the formation to offset the spiritual pressure in order to enter the third floor.

At the late stage of foundation building and with powerful spiritual awareness, such strength already qualifies him as a senior.

He flicked his sleeves lightly.

He walked straight to the innermost part of the third floor.

The wooden shelves here contain all the items needed for the golden elixir.

Standing in the magic weapon area.

Dozens of exquisite jade boxes look simple and unpretentious, but if any magic weapon in the jade box is placed outside, it will cause a lot of blood and rain, and a large number of independent cultivators will fight for it. Even the cultivators from the sect are no exception. After all, a handy magic weapon can greatly enhance the combat power of the cultivator.

But even such a precious magic weapon can be easily exchanged for spirit stones or contributions in Zhenbao Tower as long as one has sufficient identity and authority.

After careful selection.

Shen Ping finally chose four magic weapons, namely the flying magic weapon - Purple Cloud Shuttle, the defensive magic weapon - Golden Dragon Shield, the enemy-trapping magic weapon - Rattan Armor Fire Silkworm Net, and the last one was the brocade wide-patterned robe.

Attack aspect.

He has new beast talisman diagrams and various magical powers, as well as a large number of third-level attack talismans and third-level puppet assistance, which is completely sufficient.

If you are unlucky enough, you will encounter troubles with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just use the sword-shaped jade token bestowed by the sword envoy. As for those above the early Nascent Soul stage, that can only be handed over to Master Pei. However, Shen Ping feels that he should not provoke such a strong man.

After exchanging the magic weapon.

He went back to the second floor and bought some elixirs, spiritual liquids, etc. for practicing Qi and building the foundation. He also bought some auxiliary resources for dual cultivation such as Xuezhi Pills and Lingyu Ginseng Paste.

The wives and concubines are now improving their cultivation at an ever-faster pace.

Resource items like these that can increase the fun of fish and water are very consuming.

Finish this.

Shen Ping went to the elegant room to rest.

However, not long after we sat down, bursts of fragrance wafted in.

As a connoisseur of scents.

He quickly determined that this fragrance was different from the floral scent that his wives and concubines often used in their baths. It was a strange spice with a natural charm. Usually, nuns who were good at charm would make it into sachets and wear them on their waists.

At that moment, his golden elixir consciousness extended to the entrance of the private room.

Suddenly, she noticed a graceful and charming figure in a pink gauze dress standing respectfully. After she sensed the powerful pressure of her spiritual consciousness, her pretty face turned pale and she bowed hurriedly and said, "Mr. Shen, I just want to change a cup of spiritual tea for you."

The voice seemed to be suppressed, with a hint of tenderness and a tremor that aroused the inner fire. But if you listened carefully, it seemed as if you were seeing a weak woman who was full of pity.

Shen Ping understood in his heart that he had not seen a female cultivator who delivered tea to the door and showed her the layout of the house in Lanhai Fairy City for a long time.

This time we meet again.

It feels quite fresh.

pity.

Today, he is no longer the same person as before. As the top of the Hidden Dragon List, he no longer has the initial desire for ordinary spiritual tea.

Even if you want to try something new, it has to be high-quality tea.

"No need, I'll leave later."

A faint voice was heard.

The graceful figure couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. She returned to her normal voice and bowed: "I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope Mr. Shen will forgive me."

After a while.

After drinking the spiritual tea, Shen Ping left Zhenbao Tower and returned to the courtyard in Huiquan Lane.

…

Deep in the endless and dark space, there is a towering and huge palace moving rapidly. In front of the palace, there lies a statue of a giant beast. It looks like a behemoth, with its head facing the sky as if roaring.

Suddenly the statue's eyes flashed blood red.

Boom! Almost instantly.

The blood light spread throughout the entire towering palace, causing the dark space to tremble.

whoosh.

Suddenly, dozens of phantoms emitting a vast aura landed on the side of the giant beast statue, and they prostrated themselves in salute.

The ceremony is over.

The leading shadow distorted the space, and the sound echoed throughout the palace.

"This is the roar of a strange beast... quickly lock its location!"

“No matter what the cost, we must return the rare beast to our clan. Then our clan will be able to regain its former glory!”

"Yes, ancestor!"

The excited eyes of each figure became fanatical.

…

At the same time.

In a space area that is unknown how far away from the five continents and four seas, a large number of mountains containing eighth-level spiritual veins are suspended. In the core of these spiritual vein mountains, there is a mountain that looks like a head. It looks like a dead place and there is no life.

Buzz~ at this moment.

The suspended spiritual vein mountain suddenly began to rotate rapidly around the core mountain.

The surging spiritual energy suddenly formed a vortex of spiritual energy, all converging on the surface of the head-shaped mountain. The rotation did not stop until the spiritual energy of all the eighth-level spiritual veins was completely exhausted.

The head-shaped mountain suddenly seemed to come alive. Eerie flames came out of its huge, empty eyes, and roars came out of its mouth.

"The roar of the strange beast has finally appeared... Go, my people, let the former glory return to me!"

Swish! The roar disappeared in an instant.

The entire head-shaped mountain completely collapsed into countless small heads, densely packed together and rapidly moving towards the direction of the roaring strange beast.

…

The world is still prosperous and peaceful, but in an unknown desolate area, the ancient blood-colored formation is operating. The complex blood-colored patterns carved on it are constantly flashing, and a faint roar is heard from the heart of the Blood Luo Guard who is sitting cross-legged in the center.

Five days later.

Qingyang City of Wei State.

Huiquan Lane.

Shen Ping, who was wearing a long robe with embroidered wide patterns, looked at the group of beautiful ladies and said with a smile: "We have also attended Elder Peng's welcoming banquet. Let's go and set off for Zeguo!"

Just finished.

The palpitation caused by the perception of the strange beast came again, and it was more violent than the previous times. He subconsciously looked up at the blue sky, and a tremor from the bottom of his heart quietly arose.

"Husband, husband, what's wrong with you!"

The wives and concubines noticed that Shen Ping's face was gradually losing color, and they hurried forward to surround him, all of them with worry in their eyes.

But Shen Ping still stared at the sky motionlessly.

Yu Yan said anxiously: "Senior Pei."

His wives, concubines and fellow Taoists hurriedly made way to his side.

Pei Huoyu's magic power spread out, and his consciousness spread to cover Shen Ping. After a careful inspection, a hint of doubt flashed across his brows, "Fellow Daoist Shen is fine, but he looks a little strange, as if he is afraid of something..."

The words haven't finished yet.

Shen Ping broke free from the state of perception by the strange beast, and the trembling deep in his pupils disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Husband."

The wives and concubines shouted one after another.

Look at the worry on their faces.

Shen Ping shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

As he said this, he took a few deep breaths.

His complexion returned to normal.

Pei Huoyu frowned and asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what were you afraid of just now?"

"nothing."

"It's just that I suddenly had a palpitating panic feeling, as if something ominous was about to happen."

Shen Ping replied simply.

The gift of perception of strange beasts is rare in the world.

Even if he explained the situation, it would be difficult to describe it clearly. Besides, how could he, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, prove the unknown horror of the collapse of heaven's desire?

Don't talk about others.

Even he wouldn't believe it.

Pei Huoyu listened very seriously and said: "It may be some kind of perception of the cultivators...stay in the courtyard today and don't go anywhere. Fellow Daoist Shen, you should go back to the Lingchi Quiet Room to practice immediately. I will guard the door."

Shen Ping nodded, "Thank you for troubling Master Pei."

"Husband."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"We're with you."

The wives, concubines and fellow Taoists said it almost in unison.

Feel the care of wives and concubines.

He didn't want to disappoint her, so he smiled and said, "In that case, let's go to the master bedroom!"

A little while later.

In the bedroom.

That warm concern enveloped the Vajra body from all directions.

Pei Huoyu stood guard at the door of the hall, her natural curves covered by light armor and dress remained motionless. Even though the sound of rain hitting the banana leaves continued to reach her ears, her expression did not change. However, if you looked closely, you would find that her long legs were quietly tensing.

You hour.

The sunset dyed half the sky red.

This protracted war finally ended.

Return to the Lingchi Quiet Room.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion.

Shen Ping's uneasiness had disappeared, but his brows were still furrowed.

The strange beast has an extraordinary gift of perception.

Continuous palpitations.

There must be a danger that he could not foresee and is about to happen, but he does not know where the danger comes from and what impact it will have.

“It’s still too weak!”

He let out a long sigh.

All fear and anxiety come from one’s own weakness and inadequacy.

"Honor Roll!"

"I have to get on the Honor List as soon as possible. Although the increase in performance brought by the blue beast blood exceeds that of the bronze beast blood, it is still a bit slow for me..."

With Master Qiu's body of a sea beast and his own jade-grade spiritual roots, Shen Ping does not have to worry about the absorption and conversion of the blood of strange beasts. As long as he can obtain blood of higher purity, his cultivation strength will increase rapidly.

…

Three days passed.

The southern region of the marshland.

The swamp that stretches for tens of thousands of miles is home to many monsters, including some big monsters that can rival the True Lord Yuanying. The Blood Crocodile Ancestor, who once dominated Nanyan Continent and broke into the headquarters of Zhenbao Tower, grew up through fighting here.

On top of the flying magic weapon Purple Line Cloud Shuttle.

Several figures were enveloped by the escaping light, and they were moving rapidly and steadily in the air above the swamp.

Boom!

Pei Huoyu standing in front of the cloud shuttle and Qiu Ying standing behind it, the two Jindan Zhenren, controlled the magic weapons from time to time to eliminate the monsters that attacked the cloud shuttle from below one by one.

"Please be careful, seniors. The area a few miles away is the poisonous swamp, one of the five most dangerous places in the swamp. It is filled with poisonous fog all year round, and even the consciousness of a Jindan Zhenren will be suppressed."

Luo Qing reminded.

Pei Huoyu remained calm.

Qiu Ying smiled charmingly and said, "I have been to the Marshland before, and I have some understanding of the dangers of the Poison Marsh. The poisonous fog can indeed suppress the consciousness of the Golden Core, but for the late Golden Core, the suppression is not strong. What we need to be vigilant about are the monsters. Although there are no big monsters in the entire Poison Marsh, there are indeed many monsters at the Golden Core level. If we cannot deal with them quickly, we will be surrounded by a large number of monsters and it will be difficult to escape."

When Shen Ping heard that there was no great demon at the Nascent Soul stage, his tense spirit immediately relaxed.

With his current means.

You don’t have to fear any danger below the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the quantity.

There are quite a few talismans and puppets stored in his spirit ring.

Wang Yun, Bai Yuying and the others did not know Shen Ping's true fighting power. Although he had the protection of two Jindan, their pretty faces were still filled with tension.

laugh.

The Purple Cloud Shuttle quickly rushed into the edge of the poisonous fog.

Accompanied by poisonous fog rolling around.

The surface of the cloud shuttle's escape light suddenly emitted bursts of corrosive black gas, which continuously consumed the energy of the magic weapon's escape light.

At this rate of corrosion, I'm afraid it can only last for half a cup of tea.

"This poisonous fog is really powerful."

Shen Ping frowned. As soon as his consciousness extended out of the range of the escape light, he immediately sensed a faint sense of suppression.

call out.

At this time, the poisonous fog below the Cloud-Treading Shuttle suddenly rolled and surged, and the head of a poisonous dragon poked out. However, before it could attack the Purple Cloud-Treading Shuttle, golden flames surged from Pei Huoyu's fingertips, and he slashed it with a wave of his hand.

The golden flame instantly turned into a flame several feet long and engulfed the poisonous dragon. With just one cover, the powerful monster comparable to a Jindan cultivator died at the hands of Pei Huoyu.

Next is tea time.

From time to time, monsters would attack from all directions.

But in the end, without exception, they all burned into flames and fell down.

Although Qiu Ying was also alert and ready to take action at any time, she was always a step slow every time the poisonous fog dispersed or there was movement.

After driving out of this poisonous swamp area.

Qiu Ying's charming and graceful face showed a hint of helplessness.

See here.

Shen Ping couldn't help but comfort her, "Ying'er, don't be discouraged. After all, Master Pei is a Jindan powerhouse from the Zhongshengzhou headquarters. He has a strong foundation. Whether it's his skills, magic methods, or magic weapons, they are not comparable to those of us cultivators in the Beiyan Swamp."

Master Qiu didn't care about this, she just felt a little touched for a moment. After hearing her husband's words, she smiled with relief and said, "Husband, Ying'er believes that you will be so powerful in the future."

Shen Ping couldn't help but jokingly replied: "Hasn't Ying'er already seen how powerful my husband is?"

"I want to see a more powerful husband."

"Wait."

"When my husband's physique is further strengthened, I will definitely shock Ying'er."

While talking.

The Cloud Shuttle traverses a large number of swamp areas.

Soon a majestic mountain range came into view.

Luo Qing couldn't help but reveal joy on his face.

It took dozens of breaths.

The magic weapon fell on the edge of the mountain.

"Sister Qing'er."

"Are you sure this is the place where people once practiced?"

Yu Yan looked suspicious.

The spiritual energy in the area within hundreds of miles of this mountain range is very thin. Even cultivators at the lower level of Qi training would not practice in such an environment.

The others looked at Luo Qing one after another.

"That's right."

"This is where Qing'er has lived since she was a child, but why has it become like this... I followed Chun Manyuan to Yunshanfang. The spiritual energy here is very abundant for cultivation. Even the third-level spiritual veins in Qingyang Lake are inferior to it."

Luo Qing looked around blankly, then pointed to the north of the mountain range, "Husband, I want to go there and take a look!"

Wow.

The Cloud Shuttle flew again.

A few hours later.

Luo Qing's cheeks lost some of the color. She sat on the rocks halfway up the mountain, gazing at the city in the distance where only ruins were left, and remained silent for a long time.

Shen Ping and his wives and concubines did not go to comfort him, because they knew that what Luo Qing needed most now was quietness.

Several days passed.

The light armor flashed with golden light.

Pei Huoyu landed beside Shen Ping, his heroic face full of solemnity, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I carefully checked the surroundings of the mountain range and found that the spiritual energy of several large spiritual veins has been completely drained."

"Only the top forces in the Central Saint Continent have such means, but they will not covet such low-level spiritual veins... I'm afraid something is wrong here, we have to leave quickly."

She didn't lower her voice deliberately.

All the wives and concubines, including Luo Qing, heard it.

Without waiting for Shen Ping to speak.

Luo Qing stood up and said, "Husband, let's go."

Wow.

The Cloud Shuttle is suspended.

After several people stood firm one after another, they rushed up with flashing lights.

Rumble~ However, as soon as the magic weapon reached the edge of the mountain range, the entire rolling mountain range began to shake, and then a ridge stretching for hundreds of miles suddenly rose from the ground, smashing towards the magic weapon's escape light like a giant's arm.

The wives and concubines' faces changed suddenly.

whoosh.

Almost instantly.

Pei Huoyu and Qiu Ying rushed out of the escape light, suspended on both sides, facing the stone arms of the ridge that were pressing down on them.

Accompanied by the release of magical pressure.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Ying's purple-brown dress transformed into a purple-blue dress. Her tied-up hair spread out in the wind. Waves of strong aura swept around her. At the same time, a blue moon wheel magic weapon suddenly appeared in front of her. The magic weapon was surrounded by a light blue glow. With the infusion of golden elixir magic power, it instantly swelled up in the wind and turned into a huge blue moon wheel.

It looks like the moon hanging in the sky.

"go!"

A low shout was heard.

A few flashes.

The Moon Wheel magic weapon suddenly collided head-on with the stone arm of the mountain ridge that was hundreds of miles long.

Bang, bang, bang! In the flash of dazzling blue light.

The rocky arms of the ridge broke and collapsed.
