Chapter 216: Choice
As the core of the Zhenbao Building headquarters.
Pei Huoyu has extraordinary knowledge.
She naturally knew what it meant to be the inheritor of the Beast Scripture.
only.
Even when she knew that Shen Ping had comprehended the final form of the beast in two hours, she had never thought that he would attract so much attention from the headquarters.
After all, this is the Beast Scripture! It represents the core of all the background of the Zhenbao Building.
It is in the eyes of all members.
It is also the most powerful skill scripture of supreme glory.
Even if you only comprehend a little bit, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life.
But now.
Shen Ping actually got the opportunity to become the inheritor of the Beast Sutra.
Although the conditions given by the headquarters are very harsh and basically impossible to complete, this opportunity alone is enough to make many core members envious.
not to mention.
What if he succeeded? Pei Huoyu couldn't help but imagine that scene.
It was not until she heard Shen Ping's voice calling out to her that she came back to her senses.
"Master Pei."
"What exactly has changed at the headquarters?"
Shen Ping asked repeatedly.
Pei Huoyu raised her eyes and looked at Shen Ping, her heart agitated. She now completely understood why those hall masters suddenly became anxious. Once this good female talisman master in front of her inherited the Beast Scripture, she would most likely become the helmsman of Zhenbao Tower in the future.
Faced with this situation.
Naturally, it is difficult for them to remain calm and composed.
"Fellow Daoist Shen."
"Just a few cups of tea ago, the main hall just made a decision..."
After listening to Master Pei’s detailed narration.
Shen Ping couldn't help but feel a little confused.
His original intention of entering the Honor List this time was just to allow his wives, concubines and fellow Taoist partners to enter the headquarters together. However, it not only caused shock and recruitment in various halls, but now even the main hall has decided to let him inherit the Beast Sutra.
This was totally unexpected.
"Fellow Daoist Shen."
"This is an unprecedented opportunity, you must cherish it."
Pei Huoyu's heroic face was full of solemnity.
Shen Ping reacted and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Master Pei, I know this opportunity is rare, but the time is too short. There are less than eight years before the calamity comes. It is extremely difficult to rush into the top three of the Honor List with just the skill of the Talisman Beast Scripture, let alone study and practice another skill."
"Although I am good at puppetry, the difficulty of ordinary puppetry skills and the Puppet Beast Sutra is not at the same level, and taking care of both skills will inevitably distract my practice time and energy!"
The identity of the inheritor of the Beast Scripture is undoubtedly very tempting.
But he did not become arrogant because of this.
The Talisman Beast Sutra can be comprehended so quickly.
It’s mainly because of the talismans and strange beasts.
in this regard.
Shen Ping can still be confident.
But he had no confidence at all in studying another kind of skill scripture.
Like puppetry.
If he studied the scriptures from the beginning, relying on the texture of the strange beast's scales engraved in his sea of consciousness, he might be able to break into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List, but it would be impossible for him to be in the top three of the Glory List, unless the puppet could also condense his own natal puppet like Fu Dao.
Except for puppets.
He is currently also good at formations.
However, his formation skills were not at a high level, and he had never tried to make a formation plate from beginning to end.
Pei Huoyu was silent.
Then she moved in a light armor curve to Shen Ping's side.
Red lips took the initiative to move forward.
Suddenly.
That softness surges into my heart.
While Shen Ping extended the avenue with his broad palm, he took the initiative to hold Pei Huoyu in his arms and kissed him. Although there was a light armor between them, he could still sense the delicacy of Pei Huoyu's thoughts at this moment.
moment.
The two separated.
Pei Huoyu's eyes flickered with tenderness, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I know it's difficult, but some opportunities on the road of cultivation will never exist again once they are missed. The inheritance of the Beast Scripture is enough to affect your future. No matter how difficult it is, promise me that you will go all out, okay?"
Speaking of.
She leaned back into Shen Ping's arms and whispered, "You made it to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and you also made it to the Honor Ranking... I believe in you, you can also make it to the top three of the Honor Ranking this time!"
Shen Ping looked down at the broad figure reflected in Pei Huoyu's pupils.
I couldn't help but ask, "Why does Master Pei have such great confidence in me?"
Hearing this.
Pei Huoyu actually stretched out his hand and hooked Shen Ping's neck, with a smile on his lips: "Because you are Shen Ping, the good female talisman master in my heart who is always unpredictable."
Her movements were a little awkward.
But his eyes were full of soft light.
The words fell.
Light armor removed.
The only voice left in the Cloud Beast Car was questioning one's true heart.
…
Inside the large flying boat attic of Zhenbao Tower.
The Mountain Fire Palace Master came to the Purple-Black Monk's room again.
He said solemnly, "Junior brother, whether or not we can recruit Master Shen Fu is related to the future of our Mountain Fire Hall. We cannot put all our hopes on your disciple Huoyu."
The purple-black monk frowned but said nothing.
The Mountain Fire Palace Master continued, "After much thought, I feel that I must meet him alone."
"What do you mean, brother?"
The purple-black monk looked at the hall master with some confusion.
"Compared to other palaces, the conditions we proposed earlier have no advantages at all. I'm afraid it will be difficult to impress the other party."
"So our Mountain Fire Hall must show true sincerity!"
The Mountain Fire Hall Master looked at his junior brother and said in a deep voice: "I am going to have all the members of the Mountain Fire Hall fully support Master Shen Fu!"
The purple-black monk was shocked. "Brother, you are crazy. He is currently only in the late stage of foundation building. Moreover, with the conditions of the main hall, it is impossible for him to become the successor. Even if he is valued by the main hall, he can only become the soul protector of the main hall at most in the future!"
"This level of potential is not enough for my Mountain Fire Hall to devote itself to."
The Mountain Fire Palace Master laughed, "Junior Brother, even you find it hard to accept, which means that other palaces will never offer such conditions."
"And this is the greatest advantage of our Mountain Fire Palace!"
The purple-black monk was speechless.
The Mountain Fire Palace is a palace-level force no matter what. The foundation and resources it possesses are enough to support several late-stage God Transformation-level powerhouses. It would be considered a large sect in Zhongsheng Continent. If such a powerful force were to share honor and disgrace with a late-stage Foundation Establishment master, it would definitely become a laughing stock if the news got out.
If Shen Ping has a hope of obtaining the inheritance, there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.
But now the other party has no chance at all...
"Brother."
"Whether the recruitment succeeds or fails, with the relationship with Huoyu, our Mountain Fire Hall can maintain the relationship with Master Shen Fu in the future. There is no need to pay such a price!"
The Mountain Fire Hall Master shook his head and said, "Junior Brother, for that Fu Master Shen, all kinds of resources and conditions are at his fingertips. In the future, as long as he makes rapid progress in his comprehension of the Fu Beast Scripture, he will not lack resources. No matter how many resources my Mountain Fire Hall gives him, it will only be icing on the cake. On the contrary, his own foundation is too weak, and there is almost no power around him."
"If our Mountain Fire Palace can give us full support at this time, it will undoubtedly be a timely help."
Seeing that the purple-black monk was still frowning.
The Mountain Fire Hall Master lowered his voice and said, "Brother, why don't you understand? The conditions given by the Main Hall are indeed impossible in the eyes of everyone. But if there is really no chance, why would the Main Hall propose it? Besides, before Master Shen Fu was on the Honor List, no one would have thought that he could comprehend the final state of the Great Beast Form in two hours!"
"Some monsters can never be judged by common sense!"
Last word.
It rumbled like thunder in the ears of the purple-black monk.
For a long while.
He finally nodded slowly.
…
The next morning.
The sky of Lanhai Fairy City just started to turn pale.
Shen Ping ended his meditation practice.
He stood up and stretched.
When I walked to the door of the main quiet room, I saw Pei Huoyu waiting there.
Step forward.
He was about to hold Pei Huoyu's lightly armored waist, but the latter took a step back and said in a voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Shen, the Mountain Fire Palace Master is waiting outside. He wants to see you."
Shen Ping showed a surprised expression.
"Master Pei."
"The Mountain Fire Palace Master is here in person?"
Pei Huoyu nodded.
Shen Ping did not dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly followed Pei Huoyu to the gate of the courtyard. Soon he saw a middle-aged monk wearing a heavy robe with mountain patterns, standing quietly with his hands behind his back.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"New Core Shen Ping meets the Mountain Fire Palace Master!"
There was no trace of aura on the middle-aged monk.
But Shen Ping knew that if the other party had the slightest intention to kill him at this moment, then he would have absolutely no chance of survival.
"Master Shen Fu."
"I apologize for disturbing you so much."
"May I come into the courtyard to talk?"
The Mountain Fire Palace Master smiled gently.
Shen Ping was startled. He didn't expect that a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm would be so approachable, so he hurriedly said respectfully, "Palace Master, please!"
moment.
The Mountain Fire Palace Master sat in the stone pavilion.
Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu stood on the opposite sides.
"Master Shen Fu, don't be nervous. Please take a seat."
The Mountain Fire Palace waved its hand.
There was a jade pot on the stone table.
"This is a kind of spiritual tea that I planted myself. It is called the Peaceful Spirit Tea. Although the name is very ordinary, it can effectively calm the mind. Master Shen Fu can try it."
As he said this, Changxiu made a gesture of invitation.
Shen Ping sat half of his body on the stone bench, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
As the spiritual tea enters the stomach.
All the distracting thoughts in my mind suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The mind is completely empty.
He couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"
The Mountain Fire Hall Master smiled and said, "This kind of spiritual tea is best for brewing a small cup before meditation. After drinking it, you can quickly reach a state of meditation."
While talking.
There was a gleam of light at his fingertips.
The exquisite long box lingering around Yuze is suspended.
"This contains the calming tea."
"Enough for Master Shen Fu and his wives, concubines and Taoist companions to use for a hundred years."
Shen Ping did not decline politely, but accepted it generously, and said with a bow: "Thank you, Lord Palace Master, for the spiritual tea. I wonder what you want from me, Lord Palace Master?"
The Mountain Fire Hall Master smiled and said, "It's not really an order. I believe Master Shen Fu already knows the purpose of my visit. If Master Shen Fu is willing to join, then my Mountain Fire Hall will fully support you!"
As soon as these words came out.
Both Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu who was standing next to them were stunned.
Giving full support is different from agreeing to any conditions.
The most obvious difference is that if Shen Ping's progress in comprehension of the scriptures slows down in the future, or his talent is no longer there and he becomes lost in the crowd, the Shanhuo Palace will still continue to support him by providing various resources for cultivation, while the conditions promised by other palaces will be reduced or even cancelled.
Moreover, these are basically bound by oaths. Ordinary cultivators may violate them, but cultivators above the Golden Core stage will not break their promises, because once they break the oath, the inner demon tribulation they encounter when they condense the Infant will be aggravated.
Come back to your senses.
Shen Ping stared at the Mountain Fire Palace Master and couldn't help but ask, "Master, I am only a late Foundation Establishment cultivator and I am not worthy of the Mountain Fire Palace's sincerity!"
The Mountain Fire Hall Master shook his head slightly, "Master Shen Fu, if you have any concerns, please raise them."
At this time.
Pei Huoyu said: "Palace Master, Fellow Daoist Shen hopes to have a stable environment for cultivation."
The Mountain Fire Hall Master suddenly realized and said in deep thought: "Master Shen Fu, don't worry, as long as you are in the hall, you will not be affected in any way. This is my promise as the Hall Master..."
Shen Ping was deeply moved when he heard this.
He did have many concerns.
However, he did not expect that the Lord of the Mountain Fire Palace would be so courageous. Not only did he put aside his pride and visit him in person, but he also made great concessions, especially his full support. He had never thought of allowing a palace-level force to go to this extent.
After half a cup of tea.
The Mountain Fire Palace Master was no longer seen in the stone pavilion.
But Shen Ping was still sitting on the stone bench.
Pei Huoyu stood by his side without saying a word to disturb him. She knew that Shen Ping was making the final decision.
Time passes by little by little.
The spiritual tea on the stone table has been cold for a long time.
The sun sets.
Sunset at dusk.
Until the sky gradually darkened.
Shen Ping suddenly stood up and said, "Master Pei, I have decided to join the Mountain Fire Palace."
Full support is not important to him. What is important is the support of his wives, concubines and companions. The reason why other halls are so anxious now is mainly because he is valued by the main hall. If he is far from the conditions given by the main hall before the catastrophe comes, then even if other halls still maintain the level of training for him, the resources for his wives, concubines and companions will inevitably be reduced or even cancelled.
But if you join the Mountain Fire Palace, this will not happen.
Moreover, the previous hall master had already promised to help him find a monk who was proficient in the five volumes of the Beast Forms in the Talisman Beast Sutra to give him guidance at all costs.
So taking all the circumstances into consideration.
He still made the decision to join the Mountain Fire Hall.
Pei Huoyu smiled, "Fellow Daoist Shen, thank you."
Shen Ping felt much more relaxed. He stepped forward and embraced her slender waist. He extended his broad palm downward and whispered in her ear, "At night, when the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, I hope Master Pei can use the brush of the South China Sea to outline a sharp peak."
Pei Huoyu's earlobes were instantly flushed red. She bit her lip and hummed in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Shen Ping was delighted and said, "Use heavy ink."
…
A few days later.
In front of the Lingfeng Palace of Yunya Zhenjun.
All the hall masters and high-ranking officials who came to Lanhai Fairy City faced the void respectfully.
Wow.
As the space twisted and vibrated, a shadow gradually emerged.
"Meet the Moon Spirit Palace Master!"
"Greetings to the Lord Master of Moon Spirit Palace!"
All the monks, including Shen Ping, bowed and saluted.
In a flash.
A vast aura like that of the sun and the moon emanated, instantly covering the entire spiritual peak.
The Moon Spirit Hall Master's voice rang out calmly: "Where is the new core Shen Ping?"
Shen Ping hurriedly took a few steps forward.
The Moon Spirit Hall Master's gaze fell on him, "Shen Ping, the fact that you can be ranked 65th on the Honor List as a new member is enough to prove that you are talented. After discussion, the headquarters has specially ordered you to be promoted to the A-level core in advance."
"This is a Grade A jade token, please keep it safe."
He flicked his fingertips.
The new Grade A core jade token was suspended in front of Shen Ping.
And at this time.
The shadow fades.
Just before disappearing, the voice of the Moon Spirit Hall Master came into Shen Ping's ears: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Little guy, talent, cultivation, power... Each of them is indispensable to you. If you want to finally reach the top, you still have a long way to go."
"I would like to remind you that there is competition within any top power. Work hard. Once you break through to the Nascent Soul stage and comprehend the level of beast bones, you can officially become a core member of my Moon Spirit Main Hall!"
