“I see. Alright, I’ll ask and you’ll answer. Is that okay?”
“Okay.”
A few days later, in the Cloud Beast Carriage heading to the city gate. Pei Huoyu’s valiant face was filled with solemnity. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you have to be respectful when meeting the hall masters of the True Treasure Pavilion this time. Moreover, you can’t be disrespectful just because you’re talented.”
Shen Ping hurriedly nodded and said, “1 understand.”
He, who was wearing a wide-patterned robe, could not help but feel a little nervous. After all, he was about to meet the Hall Master of the True Treasure Pavilion. Even in the Zhongsheng Continent, such a figure was a powerful cultivator. Any one of them could easily kill the Divine Transformation Realm Ancestor Jinyang, who had once caused a war between the 12 countries.
Facing such a cultivator, no matter how strong one’s Dao heart was, it was difficult for them to remain calm. When they were about to reach Perfected Yun Ya’s spirit peak, Shen Ping said hesitantly, “Perfected Pei, I wonder what realm the cultivation of a Hall Master-level expert has reached?”
“The lowest is the late-stage Divine Transformation Realm.” Pei Huoyu replied softly.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard this. “In that case, there are cultivators above the Divine Transformation Realm in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion?”
“Of course there is. The experts at the main hall are all above the Divine Transformation Realm. As for the exact realm, I’m not sure.”
Shen Ping was secretly speechless. He did not expect the foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion to be so strong. There was more than one Divine Transformation expert. No wonder it could travel across five continents and four seas.
“Perfected Pei, such an expert can probably make my mind collapse with a look. What if…”
Pei Huoyu interrupted angrily, “Fellow Daoist Shen, not to mention Hall Masters, even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators can very well restrain their divine sense and magic powers. How can they leak their pressure for no reason? Moreover, every core member has a jade token on them. When these jade tokens encounter danger, they will automatically activate the array defense inside.
“Once the array formation is destroyed, the jade token’s other special recording array formation will be activated and send a message to the headquarters regarding the situation of the members before they die. Therefore, as long as it’s a Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, and other experts in the True Treasure Pavilion, they will restrain their auras when they see core members. You’re worried that they’ll leak their magic powers, nit they’re more worried about suffering an undeserved calamity than you.”
Shen Ping laughed dryly and did not say anything else.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators did not have many chances to encounter Golden Core cultivators. He had seen Nascent Soul cultivators more than once before he reached the Foundation Establishment realm. Now that he was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm and had to meet a Divine Transformation Realm expert, he naturally felt nervous and uneasy.
“What kind of faction is the True Treasure Pavilion?” Looking at the Spirit Peak that was gradually becoming clearer in front of him, Shen Ping’s emotions could not help but float. Most sects would only arrange one or two Dao Protectors to secretly protect junior cultivators. How could they value them as much as the True Treasure Pavilion? “Beast Scripture. I’m afraid that’s the source of everything.”
The more he understood the True Treasure Pavilion, the more he felt that it was not a business faction that purely spanned the five continents and four seas. Core members, restricted resources, and strange beast blood. No sect would put in so much effort to nurture it.
This was because cultivators pursued longevity mainly for their own benefits. Even for the future consideration of the sect, they would only use a very small portion of resources to nurture geniuses. At this stage, the resources Shen Ping had obtained from the True Treasure Pavilion had long surpassed most Golden Core and early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Not to mention anything else, just the restricted resource rewards from the Glory and Hidden Dragon Rankings were enough to leave the true disciples of other sects in the dust. Therefore, this did not make sense. There must be something wrong with this abnormality. There must be a deep reason for the True Treasure Pavilion to do this.
Shen Ping did not investigate seriously anymore. He only knew one thing, and that was to use the resources of the True Treasure Pavilion to strengthen himself as much as possible. As his thoughts flew, the cloud boat had already landed in front of the palace of Spirit Peak.
“Junior Sister Huoyu. Talisman Master Shen.” Perfected Yun Ya was guarding the entrance of the hall. When he saw the two of them, a smile appeared on his refined and easy-going face. He went forward to greet them and sent a voice transmission, “Five hall masters from the headquarters have arrived. Junior Sister Huoyu, stay outside. Talisman Master Shen, follow me.”
Pei Huoyu nodded. She knew very well that with her status, she was not qualified to see the other Hall Masters.
Immediately, Perfected Yun Ya led Shen Ping into the hall.
Shen Ping had been to this palace many times and was very familiar with the environment. There were rows of pavilions in the palace, and Perfected Yun Ya brought him to the first pavilion on the left.
“Come in.”
A calm voice came from the pavilion. Perfected Yun Ya hurriedly gestured for Shen Ping to enter and transmitted at the same time, “The person inside is Hall Master Huayun.”
He stepped into the pavilion. Shen Ping immediately saw a cultivator wearing a light yellow loose robe. He looked white-haired and youthful. He hurriedly bowed and said, “New core disciple greets Hall Master Huayun!”
Hall Master Huayun smiled and said, “As expected, you’re still young. You’re not even a hundred years old. It’s really amazing that you can have such achievements.”
“Hall Master, you flatter me.”
“There are twelve main halls of the headquarters. And my Huayun Hall belongs to the Chen Yao Main Hall. It’s ranked in the top five among the many hall-level factions.” Hall Master Huayun looked at Shen Ping and went straight to the point. “If you join the Chen Yao Main Hall and are nurtured by my Huayun Hall in the early stages, other than the Class A core treatment that you deserve, you can go to the Talisman Scripture Pavilion once a year and enter the Beast Scripture Pavilion once every ten years. 1 think you should know that in the True Treasure Pavilion, the opportunity to comprehend the Beast Scripture Pavilion is very precious. Every core member can apply to comprehend it a limited number of times.
“Usually, when a core member has just advanced to Class B, they can obtain a chance to comprehend it. Every hundred years after that, they would have a chance. In addition, everytime one comprehended the beast form, beast skin, beast bone, and beast blood, they can also obtain a chance. You can obtain it twice after advancing to Class A. From now on, you can obtain it once every 50 years.”
Shen Ping listened respectfully as he quickly calculated in his heart. The treatment offered by the Huayun Hall was not much different from that of the Sword Hall. The difference was in the nuances of cultivation resources.
For example, the Sword Envoy of the Sword Hall promised to provide all the resources needed to cultivate to the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm for free, including the needs of his wife, concubines, and Dao companions to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm.
He was very sincere.
The Huayun Hall did not involve Shen Ping’s wife and concubines, but they gave him a special cultivation resource—the Strange Beast Vine Flower. It was not restricted, nor was it in the treasure vault of the True Treasure Pavilion. Instead, it was a special resource independent of the headquarters.
The effect was to speed up the absorption and transformation of the blood of the strange beasts in the core members.
No doubt about it, this was a resource that every core skill member urgently needed. However, only the top ten Hall-level factions in the headquarters could obtain such resources.
Sword Hall didn’t.
Shen Ping had Perfected Qiu’s special physique to help him. He was not in urgent need of this resource, but there was another accompanying resource—the Beast Spirit Pool. He could not ignore it.
“Hall Master Huayun, can you give me some time to consider?”
Shen Ping did not sense any Divine Transformation aura at all. It was as if the person standing in front of him was an ordinary person, but he knew that Hall Master Huayun was a late-stage Divine Transformation expert. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. He did not even dare to refuse. However, he still braced himself and spoke.
“Of course you can. I’ll stay here for five days. If you have an answer, you can come to this pavilion.”
When Shen Ping came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door. As for how he walked out of the process, he didn’t even know. “Is this the power of a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator?” He could not help but take a deep breath.
Then, he followed Perfected Yun Ya to the next room. There were a total of five Hall Masters. There were very few differences in the conditions for them to recruit. Talisman Scripture Pavilion, Beast Scripture Pavilion, Strange Beast Vine Grass, Beast Spirit Pool. These four top-notch core resources related to strange beasts were basically involved.
Two of them even suggested that if he had other needs, they would make arrangements. This made Shen Ping speechless. Was he such a superficial cultivator?
In the next three days. The other halls in the headquarters arrived one after another.
It was Dan Hal Hall’s turn.
Apart from the four corresponding resource conditions, Hall Master Dan Hai said sincerely, “Although I, Hall Master Dan Hai, am ranked at the bottom of the headquarters, the cultivation environment in the hall is quiet. Perfected Yu beside me is good at the first two volumes of the Talisman Beast Scripture and has comprehended the final state. If you join the Moon Spirit Main Hall and are nurtured by my Dan Hai Hall, Perfected Yu can personally guide you. I believe you will definitely benefit a lot from the Talisman Beast Scripture.”
Shen Ping looked at Perfected Yu. He had the honor of meeting this middle-aged man with a calm expression once during the new assessment. After seven to eight years of cold and heat, he never expected that he would be able to see Yu Qingling’s father here again.
“New core disciple Shen Ping greets Perfected Yu..”
