While Shen Ping was looking forward to it, he thought of the spatial scene of the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit previously. That thing that extended into the depths of the space like a tree branch was very likely to be the source of the Beast Pattern Golden Fruit. If the talent of the strange beast increased, he wondered if he could enter that place.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, this time, I will stay in the Strange Beast Gate for a few more days.”
Hearing this, Shen Ping came back to his senses and revealed an understanding expression. “Don’t worry, I’ll share my secrets with Fellow
Daoist Yin.”
“Bah. I don’t want to know your secret.”
“Do you like my secret?”
“I don’t like it!”
“I see. Alright, I won’t share it with you tomorrow.”
“You… don’t!”
“What? Say it again. I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“Hmph!”
Half a year later, Yin Ting looked at Shen Ping reluctantly, but her expression was cold. “I should go.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShen Ping nodded. After being inseparable for half a year, his innate talent for strange beasts had increased rapidly. He was still a distance away from transforming and improving. However, he also understood that Yin Ting had her own pursuits and it was impossible for her to be obsessed with the path between a man and a woman. Although she had become more and more casual these days, she was very rational in certain matters.
As they hugged each other tightly, Yin Ting whispered in his ear, “Shen Ping, I know you’re different from the rest. You have many secrets. The third level of the underground palace, even the first level of the Heavenly Palace, the second level… are not your final destination, so I have to leave. I have to improve myself as much as possible.”
The cold touch of the soft armor in his arms had already disappeared.
Shen Ping stood on the spot and looked at the ordinary frame that was gradually deepening in the virtual frame in his eyes. He could not help but reveal a trace of disappointment.
He returned to Sword Seal City.
He took out some spiritual materials from his spirit ring and placed them in the warehouse. He then called An Zhiyuan over and handed him some materials, asking him to bring them back to Gray Stone City and put them in the main warehouse.
After counting the materials, An Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief. “Pavilion Master, don’t worry. I promise to put all the materials in the main warehouse.”
The most important reason why the True Treasure Pavilion could develop so quickly and recruit many Divine Transformation experts was these rare spiritual treasures. Although talismans and puppets were equally attractive to cultivators, cultivators still cared about their cultivation realm.
Including the guest elders.
Once the True Treasure Pavilion could not provide spiritual treasures and benefits, these guest elders would definitely leave.
NOW, with these spiritual treasures, the True Treasure Pavilion would develop rapidly for at least a few decades. When the channel to the Penglai Immortal City was opened, it might form a virtuous cycle.
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist An, I trust you.
Among these spiritual materials, there were more than ten sets of Level 6 spiritual materials. Their attraction to Divine Transformation cultivators was fatal. The reason why he handed them to An Zhiyuan like this was also to test
him.
“Thank you for your trust, Pavilion Master!” As a Divine Transformation cultivator who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, how could An Zhiyuan not see through the probing? However, he did not care. Back then, when he joined Shen Ping, he was already mentally prepared. Although more than ten portions of Level 6 spiritual treasures were valuable, they were nothing compared to Shen Ping.
“Oh, that’s right. Inform Fairy Luo Xia to go to the private room on the second floor tomorrow.”
Upon hearing the instructions, An Zhiyuan nodded, and then asked, “Pavilion Master, with the help of Luo Xia Peak, our True Treasure Pavilion has already established itself in Sword Seal City over the years. Should we fix the main pavilion here?”
Shen Ping was not in a hurry to respond. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Compared to Gray Stone City, the various resource channels in Sword Seal City were undoubtedly more convenient, it was also the closest to the Penglai Immortal City. Although it would take more than half a year for a large flying ship to go back and forth, there were still a lot of experts in Sword Seal City. At the very least, it was not safe for him now.
Especially after his wife, concubine, and Dao companions came out of the Nine Continents Tower in the future, they needed a stable environment.
Meanwhile, he could almost completely control Gray Stone City.
Thinking of this, he instructed, “It’s safer for the main pavilion to be in Gray Stone City. Moreover, it can balance the interests of Black Fiend City and many distant markets.”
An Zhiyuan hesitated and said, “You’re right, Pavilion Master. However, only Fellow Daoist Jing is guarding Gray Stone City. His strength is still slightly insufficient. Although there are many guest elders, the new great devil…
“I’ll take care of it.” Shen Ping said casually.
The great devil of the Devil Clan was indeed a hidden danger. The Void Refinement Realm was still too prominent in Gray Stone City. As long as the other party had the intention to kill, he could destroy the True Treasure
Pavilion in a short period of time.
The next day, Fairy Luo Xia, who was wearing a simple white embroidered dress with light red brocade at the cuffs, sat on a chair with a smile. She stood on a pair of pink and white boots embroidered with waves, covering her fair
skin.
“Senior Yue, why are you looking for me?” Shen Ping went straight to the point. Fairy Luo Xia waved her hand, and an invisible barrier condensed from magic power enveloped the private room. Then, she said solemnly, “I’m afraid the Black Tiger King will make a move.”
Shen Ping calmly poured two cups of spiritual tea and waved his hand to place a cup on the table beside Fairy Luo Xia. He took a sip and said, “Oh? Didn’t you say that the Black Tiger King won’t act rashly before figuring out my background?”
Fairy Luo Xia shook her head. “Things have changed. I heard that the Black Tiger King has invited a senior of the Devil Clan from the Penglai Immortal City. He said that he wants to participate in the competition between the juniors of the Devil Clan and wants to nurture outstanding juniors like our human sect. However, this is only on the surface. Although such a situation has happened in the past, from the Black Tiger King’s series of actions, there are very many signs of him targeting the True Treasure Pavilion.”
Her voice was solemn. “It hasn’t been long since Shi Hu of Gray Stone City died. Under normal circumstances, the Devil Clan won’t send a new Void Refinement Realm devil over. At least, they won’t act rashly before they figure out the background of the Pavilion Master.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm-But that’s not the case. I deduce that he must have reached some kind of agreement with that senior of the Devil Clan. Even if he doesn’t attack, he will still probe. All these years, the Black Tiger King hasn’t come to look for me
again.”
Shen Ping put down the jade cup and frowned. “What’s the strength of that
Devil Clan in the Penglai Immortal City?”
“I’m not sure. But it’s at least in the late-stage Body Integration realm.” The Black Tiger King had a fragment of a pseudo-immortal artifact and his fusion divine power was comparable to the late-stage Body Integration realm. The senior of the Devil Clan it had invited was definitely not weak, so the late-stage Body Integration realm was the lowest.
“What about the Mahayana Realm?” He asked again.
Fairy Luo Xia thought for a moment and shook her head gently, “The possibility of it being in the Mahayana Realm is low. In the Penglai Immortal City, although the Devil Clan has experts at the Mahayana Realm, they rarely appear like us humans. Most of these experts are preparing to transcend the tribulation and become immortals.
“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that the Black Tiger King used some precious things to move the Mahayana Realm experts.” With that said, a smile appeared on her face. “If that Black Tiger King really had such a thing, he wouldn’t have targeted the True Treasure Pavilion. Instead, he would have thought of how to destroy the Body Integration experts of our human race to obtain resources for himself.”
Shen Ping nodded. “Therefore, the possibility of a late-stage or perfected Body Integration is very high, right?”
“Yes.” Fairy Luo Xia hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, “The Dharma treasure that the Pavilion Master used to trap me that day is indeed extremely powerful. However, I’m afraid it’s not enough to deal with the Black Tiger King. If there’s another late-stage Body Integration cultivator…” Although the beast-shaped puppet was strong, it was very difficult to surround and entangle a Body Integration expert. Without the restraint of the puppet, Shen Ping’s other methods would be very useless.
This was also his current flaw. It was mainly because his cultivation realm was too low.
“Senior Yue, when do you think the Black Tiger King will attack?” Shen Ping asked her.
Fairy Luo Xia pondered for a moment. “The Devil Clan often doesn’t have much patience. During this period, I will reveal some of the situation of the pavilion master to it to stall it. However, I estimate that it can hold on for another ten
years at most.”
“Ten years, huh?” He thought to himself. It was difficult to break through to the Void Refinement Realm after ten years of polishing the magic power of the strange beast at the Perfection Divine Transformation Realm. It seemed that he had to make a move in advance. “Senior Yue, hold back the Black Tiger King first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
With the strange beast materials provided by Yin Ting, he had to work harder next and prepare more complete Talisman Beast Diagrams..
