Just as he was looking forward to the future, a beautiful figure covered in light armor flashed out. When the elegant fragrance hit his nose, that valiant face appeared in front of Shen Ping.
They had not seen each other for half a month. When he saw Pei Huoyu again, he, who was in a good mood, immediately took a few steps forward and gently hugged her slender waist. Although there was light armor between them, he seemed to have touched her soft skin. His warm palm slowly extended towards the Great Dao.
Pei Huoyu glanced around discreetly from the corner of her eye. When she saw that there was no sign of Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others, she felt a little relieved and allowed Shen Ping to search up and down. However, when she looked back, she could not help but exclaim in surprise, “Fellow Daoist Shen, your, your cultivation…”
Shen Ping said humbly, “It’s all thanks to the cultivation environment of the Fire Spirit Hall that 1 was lucky enough to have a slight breakthrough.”
Pei Huoyu fell silent. She suddenly didn’t know what to say. The ninth level of Foundation Establishment was indeed nothing in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. It was even the lowest cultivation realm, but she knew that Shen Ping’s bone age was less than 70 years old.
Qi Refinement Realm. At this age, he was already in his twilight years. At the Foundation Establishment realm, although he was not full of vitality, he was still considered a young man among Foundation Establishment Cultivators. If he could break through to the Golden Core realm in a hundred years…
“This is the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. At the same time, it’s also the core area of the Mountain Fire Hall. No matter what opportunities Fellow Daoist Shen has, you don’t have to worry.” Pei Huoyu said after a long while.
She had seen Shen Ping grow from the early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm to the present. Although he had the support of the restricted resources of the True Treasure Pavilion and the blood of strange beasts, he had broken through from the Foundation Establishment realm to the ninth level in just ten years. This cultivation speed could be said to be godly.
After all, no matter how good a resource was, it still needed to be absorbed and digested by one’s spiritual root aptitude and talent. For example, the blood of a strange beast. Even the Class A core with a heavenly spiritual root had to be supplemented by the strange beast vine-patterned grass, let alone other medicinal pills, rare treasures, and other resources.
Moreover, Foundation Establishment was a realm where one established their Dao foundation and solidified their cultivation foundation.
Breaking through quickly was not necessarily a good thing. Most cultivators would polish their magic power at this level, expand their meridians, increase the capacity of their dantian, and so on.
However, when Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping’s aura, it was thick and solid. Although she had not carefully investigated his magic powers, it was definitely much stronger than a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level. Clearly, the latter’s foundation was solid and did not become unstable because he had broken through too quickly.
Therefore, she concluded that there must be a special opportunity for him. However, this was normal. Which one of the core members in front of the headquarters’ Glory Ranking was not blessed with all kinds of opportunities?
Shen Ping understood what Pei Huoyu meant. He nodded seriously and said, “I understand.”
Cultivation realm was the foundation of a cultivator. However, in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, he valued skills more and the comprehension of the scripture. The root causes were mainly the Beast Scripture and restricted resources.
This was because even the ordinary aptitude of an impure spiritual root could easily break through to the Nascent Soul Realm through high-level restricted resources. Especially the blood of strange beasts, it could subtly improve the blood, meridians, and other bone aptitudes of cultivators.
Therefore, the True Treasure Pavilion’s training of core members had always been different from the top sects and factions in the Zhongsheng Continent. Shen Ping had actually sensed this, so he did not deliberately hide anything.
“Perfected Pei, why does the True Treasure Pavilion value skills so much?” He thought for a moment, and still asked the question in his heart.
Although Pill, Talisman, Weapon, Array, and other cultivation techniques were extremely beneficial to cultivators, they were ultimately not cultivation realms. Most alchemists, Talisman Masters, and other skilled cultivators in the sect had higher statuses, but at critical moments, the sect still valued core disciples and battle cultivators.
“I only know that it’s related to the Beast Scripture. 1 don’t know anything else. If you can become the inheritor of the Beast Scripture, you might know.”
Pei Huoyu had just finished speaking when a voice condensed from the magic powers of a Nascent Soul sounded outside the hall. “Fellow Daoist Shen, the Hail Master has ordered you to go to the main hall for a chat.”
It was Wang Yuanming. Shen Ping was slightly stunned. Then, he arrived at the entrance of the Fire Spirit Hall with Pei Huoyu. “Deacon Wang.” The two of them cupped their hands one after another. Then, he followed Wang Yuanming to Hall Master Huo Shan.
In front of the main hall.
Under the huge patterned totem of the Mountain Fire Hall, Hall Master Ji sat upright on the Green Jade King Chair.
Hall Master Dan Hai and Perfected Yu sat on both sides.
Other than that, there was another person, and that was the elegant and quiet Yu Qingling. She was wearing a simple embroidered pink and white waist dress, and the jade band on her shoulders fluttered. The eyes under her beautiful hair flickered with intelligence. However, as a junior, she did not have the qualifications to sit on such an occasion. She could only stand obediently behind Hall Master Dan Hai.
“Fellow Daoist Dan Hai and Fellow Daoist Yu’s sudden visit is indeed an honor to our Mountain Fire Hall. However, if I’m not wrong, the two of you definitely didn’t come just to visit!” Hall Master Huo Shan’s gaze was deep, and there was a hidden meaning in his words.
“Qingling, wait outside the hall first!” Hall Master Dan Hai and Perfected Yu looked at each other before the former waved his hand gently.
“Yes, Master!” Yu Qingling replied respectfully, then bowed to her father and Hall Master Huo Shan before leaving leisurely.
After her figure disappeared from the hall, Hall Master Dan Hai said with a solemn gaze, “After these days of deliberation and careful discussion with the elders in the hall and Perfected Yu, my Dan Hai Hall has decided to agree to Fellow Daoist Shan Huo’s previous suggestion.”
Previously in the Linhai Immortal City, the two of them had a short conversation before. At that time, Hall Master Shan Huo suggested that Perfected Lord Yu come forward to teach Shen Ping the Talisman Beast Scripture.
Although he did not say the details, the meaning behind his words was obvious. The two halls had formed an alliance to fully support Shen Ping. Whether it was nurturing his growth in the early stages or fighting for the hopeless inheritor of the Beast Scripture, the two halls had to be prepared..
