Chapter 362: Toughness

The further you comprehend the Beast Sutra, the more obvious the gap will be. Beast form and beast skin are not too big, but once you cross the beast bone, the difference between each of the four levels of pattern, horn, hoof claw, and whip tail will be huge, and the difficulty of comprehension will also increase exponentially. For example, the difficulty between beast bone hoof claw and whip tail is almost equivalent to comprehending the Beast Sutra from beginning to end to the beast skin level.

That's why Lian Xuejin said that it was difficult for Shen Ping to squeeze into the top 20. Even though she knew that Shen Ping had the magical power of talisman formations, the competition for the Beast Spirit List could not be made up by relying on talisman formations.

But Shen Ping didn't care. He smiled and said, "Master, even if we enter the top 20, we will only get one more beast pattern golden fruit as a reward. As for the top 10,000, I am still very confident."

Lian Xuejin really wanted to say that the golden fruit with beast patterns was very precious, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. She knew that her disciple must have some extra golden fruits with beast patterns.

"Well, as long as you can get into the top 10,000, the other things won't have much impact on you."

Lian Xuejin pondered and said, "My disciple, you can't be careless because of this. The Emperor told me that the appearance of the Palace at the Sea Realm Peak last time meant that the Beast Spirit Ranking is definitely not as simple as it seems. Although its rewards are only the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit and the Enlightenment Quota for the time being, no one can predict how it will change."

“And no matter what changes occur, rankings are the top priority.”

Listen to this.

Shen Ping's expression suddenly became serious. The Emperor's words did make sense. Compared with the treasures exchanged when the palace was born, the rewards for the first ranking on the Beast Spirit List were actually very ordinary. However, there were a large number of palaces on Jiehai Peak, and there might be rules specifically for ranking.

"Disciple will do his best to impact the rankings!"

Lian Xuejin nodded, then hesitated and said, "Disciple, do you have any beast blood spirit liquid?"

Shen Ping was silent for a moment. "Master, the Beast Blood Spiritual Liquid is different from the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit. It can promote the purity of the blood of the strange beasts in the body of the Beast Spirit Genius and enhance the comprehension of the Beast Scripture. No one has too much of this kind of treasure. I do have some, but I need it myself, and I also plan to train my children to be Beast Spirit Geniuses."

Lian Xuejin understood, and she sighed softly, "How could I not know this? It's just that this matter was personally presented by a senior immortal from our clan, who wanted to train those eight outstanding juniors... That's all, I will politely refuse."

Shen Ping said: "Thank you, Master, for your understanding."

The golden fruit with beast patterns is very important to the tribe. It is related to the tribe's ranking on the Ten Thousand Spirits List. He can give it or trade it, but the beast blood and heavenly spirit liquid is different. This thing is purely a resource. He will not take it out even for a trade.

It's not that he doesn't understand the greater good, but this loophole cannot be opened. Once it is opened, whenever he has treasures in the future, the tribe's leaders will want him to trade them. What should he do then? If it is a rare resource, he won't be able to use it even if he takes it out.

Therefore, he must be tough on this matter.

Lian Xuejin also knew this, so she didn't continue.

End of communication.

He walked all the way to the pavilion by the lake.

"Father."

Just appeared.

A lovely figure came running towards the pavilion.

"Yier."

Shen Ping picked up his daughter in front of him, pinched her chubby face, and said with a smile: "Have you been cheating again in the past hundred years? Even your mother can't control you."

Shen Yi.

His third daughter was born to Luo Qing. He liked this third daughter the most among all his children, mainly because she was the closest to him. Although his other daughters were also very well-behaved and sensible, they were too sensible. Every time they saw him, they behaved well.

"Father, Yi'er didn't eat anything carelessly, huh."

Shen Yi pouted her red lips. She didn't look like a female cultivator over a hundred years old at all. Instead, she looked more like a child. This was her character. She had a childlike innocence.

Moreover, this girl has a childish appearance, and with the help of a technique to maintain her youthful appearance, it is hard to tell that she is over a hundred years old.

Come into the pavilion.

The other children all bowed and said, "Greetings, father."

Shen Ping sat down and took a quick look. "Where's An'er?"

His wife Wang Yun said, "He went to the Black Demon Valley. The Black Demon Valley has been a bit uneasy lately, with the demons making a lot of trouble. It's a good opportunity for him to go there and gain some experience and training."

Shen Ping nodded.

Ever since the incident at the Qidieyin Valley, his son had become much more obedient. Although he didn't know if it was intentional, at least he seemed much more sensible. A hundred years ago, he asked An Zhiyuan and Jing Yan to arrange a job for him in the pavilion to hone his skills.

"Husband, this is the Blue Flame Cloud Fire Tea that Yong'er brought from the Flame Cloud District. It tastes very good. Please try it."

Bai Yuying handed over the teacup and said.

Among his many wives and concubines, she was the most lively and charming. But since she had a son, she had matured a lot. Her daily dress and behavior had become dignified and generous, with the temperament of a mature woman. In fact, not only her, but also Wang Yun and Mu Jin were like this.

While tasting tea.

Shen Ping also looked at the cultivation levels of his children. Over the past hundred years, the one with the highest cultivation level among them has reached the late Jindan stage, and the others have also reached the Jindan level. This cultivation speed is really fast, but with the large amount of precious resources cultivated by the Zhenbao Pavilion, such a speed is too normal.

The only thing that made him feel regretful was that, except for his eldest son Shen An, none of the others were born with the bloodline of the strange beast.

In this case, even if you take the Beast Patterned Golden Fruit, it will be very difficult to cultivate it in the future.

Because he knew very well that only creatures born with the blood of strange beasts could better comprehend the power and artistic conception of strange beasts.

Like Shen An, he was already a beast spirit genius a hundred years ago, and he follows the same bloodline system as the Feather Clan, the Demon Clan and other clans. As long as the purity of the bloodline of the strange beast is improved, his comprehension will be accelerated.

Originally, he wanted his son to comprehend the Beast Sutra, but to be honest, the Beast Sutra is extremely difficult to comprehend, much more difficult than bloodline. After all, not all cultivators are interested in the hundreds of arts of immortality. The reason why he practiced talismans back then was purely to earn spirit stones for practice, and most cultivators have the same purpose.

"My children are not young anymore. If they stay in Greystone City forever, they will never grow up. Let's find a chance for them to go to the various branch pavilions for training."

Hearing this.

Joy showed on the faces of the children. Every grown-up eaglet wanted to spread its wings and fly. Although they were children from various clans of Zhenbao Pavilion, they were no exception and wanted to go outside Huishi City to experience the world of cultivation.

Yu Yan frowned, "Husband, the situation is not stable now..."

Shen Ping waved his hand, "They are all Jindan cultivators, they have many magic weapons, as well as talismans, puppets and other means, there will be no danger."

Seeing my husband say this.

Yu Yan did not refuse again. She knew in her heart that her children would go out to explore the world one day. "When you are out there, don't cause trouble, and don't do evil just because you have the background of Zhenbao Pavilion."

"yes!"

The children were very excited, and even Shen Yi, who liked to stick to Shen Ping, was looking forward to it.

…

The Gate of Strange Beasts.

A remote old place on the third floor of the underground palace.

After admiring Yin Ting's white feathers, Shen Ping asked about her recent enlightenment.

"The effect of the beast blood spirit liquid is indeed good. I have now reached the beast bone horn level. In terms of artistic conception, I have barely comprehended a little bit of the beast bone artistic conception, and the beast skin level is close to perfection..."

Yin Ting glanced at Shen Ping and said, "If nothing unexpected happens this time, I should be able to get into the top ten thousand."

She has a high-level beast spirit treasure, and with this level of perception, her chances of entering the top ten thousand are very high. In each race, only the beast spirit geniuses within the top ten thousand will receive key training from the top. In other words, after this time, Yin Ting will continue to enjoy the treatment of accelerated time comprehension.

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

Shen Ping took out another bottle of beast blood spirit liquid and handed it to Yin Ting, "The beast bone state of mind is still a little weak. There are still more than a hundred years. If you work harder, I believe there will be no accidents."

Looking at the beast blood spiritual liquid.

Yin Ting sighed, "I owe you more and more."

Shen Ping hugged Yin Ting and said, "Thinking like this will only add to your mental burden. You and I are Taoist companions, and we are one. Helping you is helping myself."

He did not have much demand for the Beast Blood Spirit Liquid. That little improvement was not as fast as the digestion and improvement of the insights gained from the daily fish and water. Moreover, judging from the virtual panel, the virtual frame to which Yin Ting belonged was deepening under constant nourishment, and was driven to move forward towards the purple frame.

You should know that the latter is a Taoist partner who possesses ten special physiques.

If it transforms into a purple frame, it might be different from Wang Yun, Bai Yuying and the others.

Yin Ting smiled and said, "You always have a lot of truths. For the next hundred years or so, I may have to retreat and practice with all my strength to prepare for the next Beast Spirit Ranking. I will not come to the Underground Palace again for the time being."

Shen Ping expressed his understanding. He had not entered the Gate of Strange Beasts during his hundred years of seclusion, and this was the norm for cultivators and their companions, especially those who had reached the Spirit Transformation stage and above. If they could maintain this relationship for a thousand years, it was considered a deep relationship.

Return to the first floor of the Heavenly Palace.

He went to the Ascension Palace and obtained two high-level beast spirit treasures. He then searched for the strange stone for two years before leaving.

…

Sword Seal City.

Inside the main hall of Luoxia Peak.

When Shen Ping was being intimate with Yue Lingluo, he also asked about the situation of various ethnic groups in the past hundred years. Now, the intelligence system of Zhenbao Pavilion has completely penetrated the entire western area of ​​the Dark Abyss. Regardless of whether there are human cultivators or not, there are almost always intelligence members of Zhenbao Pavilion.

Yue Lingluo is in charge of intelligence, so she knows the situation of each ethnic group best.

"The demon tribe, spirit tribe, and fire tribe have been quite peaceful recently. The cities under their jurisdiction are not as strict in searching for human cultivators as before. However, the demon tribe is very active. The various trade routes of my Zhenbao Pavilion have been harassed by the demon tribe recently. Although there has not been much damage, it has caused headaches for many of the guest officials."

At this point, she paused and hesitated, "Taihua Sect and other sects in Penglai Fairy City have made a lot of moves in recent years. My husband, you know about the Seven Butterfly Sound Valley, right?"

Shen Ping nodded, "I know, what's wrong?"

Yue Lingluo frowned and continued, "After An'er's incident, I made a special investigation into the Seven Butterfly Sound Valley. I didn't find anything at first, but gradually I found out that the Taihua Sect seemed to be in some kind of collusion with the demons."

"Colluding with the demons?"

Shen Ping was startled, "Are you sure?"

Yue Lingluo shook his head. "To be precise, Taihua Sect secretly gathered a lot of female cultivators, especially those who have not lost their primordial Yin, and traded with two demon sects. These two demon sects are the secret stakes of the demon race in the western area of ​​the Dark Abyss. This matter itself is very secretive. If it weren't for the Seven Butterfly Sound Valley, my Zhenbao Pavilion would not be able to find out."

“And this has been going on for a long time.”

"It's just that the Taihua Sect has been making big moves recently, which may be related to the suppression and elimination of the sect forces in various cities by the alien races. They are taking advantage of the situation and targeting the sects with many female cultivators. In fact, it's not just female cultivators, independent cultivators, sect disciples, etc. As long as the demon sect needs it, the Taihua Sect will trade with it, and it's not just the Taihua Sect."

Seeing Shen Ping didn't say anything.

Yue Lingluo whispered, "The interface where the demons live has many cultivation resources that our race urgently needs, especially for those above Mahayana. The special resources of the demons can greatly assist in breakthroughs. I think it should be related to this."

"This kind of thing is very normal in the cultivation world. Before the Zhenbao Pavilion appeared, although the various races suppressed our human race on the surface, there were many forces that secretly cooperated with the human race. They were in great need of resources such as elixirs, talismans, and formations..."

Shen Ping raised his head and drank a cup of Zuixujiu, and said calmly: "The cultivation world itself is very cruel. As long as there is profit, all kinds of means will be used to the extreme. The Taihua Sect has been able to stand in the West District for so many years, there must be something dirty inside."

"I don't care about other places, but within the jurisdiction of Master Zhenbao, such things are absolutely not allowed to happen."

Yue Lingluo couldn't help but say, "Taihua Sect is a powerful sect in Penglai Immortal City. Our Zhenbao Pavilion is far inferior to it. I think we can just put on a show and talk to Taihua Sect inside to ask them not to do this within our jurisdiction."

Shen Ping shook his head. "No need. You notify them. If they find such a thing happening in the cabinet, they can just do it. Don't worry about whether the other party is Taihua Sect or Penglai Fairy City."

When the current leader of the Seven Butterflies Sound Valley came to him for help, he ignored it and didn't want to care. But it is different now. He has already broken through to the Mahayana stage and is not afraid of the Taihua Sect's immortals at all. If he didn't know about this, it would be fine. But since he heard about it and felt unhappy, there is naturally no need for him to give face to the Taihua Sect.

"My husband, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance. Many of the guests in the cabinet are actually more or less related to Penglai Immortal City. They may have heard about this matter."

Yue Lingluo gave a reminder.

Most of the guests of Zhenbao Pavilion who are above the level of Refining Void come from major sects, and more than half of these sects regard Taihua Sect as the most respected.

Shen Ping said nonchalantly, "It's okay, just give the order. As for how they do it, it's up to them. Zhenbao Pavilion has been developing for so many years, and the number of guest officials has indeed increased. It's a good opportunity to reduce them."

Yue Lingluo heard the determination in her husband's tone and stopped trying to persuade him. After all, she was the one who brought up the matter first. Although the development was different from what she had expected, she still agreed with her husband's decision.
