Chapter 409: Plan (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You have to hide in the city, but you have to have your own prediction and control of danger. Building your own faction is the best method.”
Shen Ping suddenly woke up. He was no longer in the five continents and four seas, nor did he have the protection of the True Treasure Pavilion and his master. The human race was even weaker and had to rely on him.
Back then at Cloud Mountain Parlour, he was keeping a low profile. However, if not for the True Treasure Pavilion, how could he have escaped safely against Ancestor Jinyang’s Blood Sea Array?
“Master, I understand!”
“It’s good that you understand. Since you can enter the Strange Beast Gate, you don’t have much need for cultivation resources. However, you don’t have such an opportunity beside you. I believe you don’t need me to remind you what to do, right?”
A smile appeared on Shen Ping’s face. “Yes, Master.”
He used talismans as his livelihood, but it had been a long time since he refined talismans. As for the materials, there were many hidden in the storage rings of the genius cultivators in the Heaven Ascension Hall.
Not long after, his wife, Wang Yun, said, “Husband.”
Ever since he could communicate with his wife, concubines, and Dao-companions, he would communicate almost every day to relieve his longing. However, after considering that his wife, concubines, and Dao-companions still had to cultivate, he finally decided to communicate every half a month.
“Yun’er, did you miss me?” Shen Ping said with a smile.
“Yes, I do.”
“How much?”
“A lot, almost to the point that My Dao heart is unstable.”
Wang Yun’s gentle voice was mixed with a hint of shyness. Shen Ping laughed. “When we meet in the future, I will definitely stabilize Yun’er’s Dao heart.”
Next, Bai Yuying, Yu Yan, Pei Huoyu, Mu Jin, Luo Qing, Qiu Ying, Yin Honglian, and the others couldn’t wait to communicate with Shen Ping and tell him about their longing.
Shen Ping had no choice but to comfort them with words. He put away the dazzling crystal. He could not help but sigh. The world was as usual. The days when he sweated dozens of times in one night were gone.
He shook his head, and restrained his distracting thoughts. He first glanced at the virtual frame and walked out of the quiet room. He went to a cubicle and took out the talisman materials to start making talismans.
At first, he was a little rusty, but he gradually became more and more familiar with it. In just ten days, he had made four Level 5 Six Shield Talismans, Little Thunder Flame Talismans, Freezing Talismans, and so on. These were also the three Level 5 talismans with the highest success rate.
He had no wife, concubine, or Dao companions to accompany him day and night. It had been a long time since he improved his Talisman Dao, Formation Dao, Puppet Dao, and other skills.
However, it was still very easy for a Level 5 talisman to kill an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. Especially when the Little Thunder Flame Talisman and the Freezing Spirit Talisman were combined, the power could not be underestimated.
Back then, when he faced the Green Flood Dragon, if not for the fact that he wanted a sure kill, just by using the Little Thunder Flame Talisman to use a Talisman Dao Mystique could kill it too.
“Lan’er.” He walked out of the cubicle. Shen Ping shouted.
Jing Huilan hurriedly came in front of him and bowed. “Husband.”
He looked at this weak Dao companion. Shen Ping asked, “How has the situation in Gray Stone City been recently?”
“The price of all kinds of cultivation materials, especially expendable magical artifacts, talismans, formations, and other items has increased quite a bit. I heard from Fellow Daoist An that the Stone Tiger Clan is attacking the nearby gathering place of the Snow Clan on a large scale. Meanwhile, Ancestor Liluo has invited a Void Refinement Realm senior of the Snow Clan. For a moment, we’re in a stalemate. The patrolling forces have increased a lot, so the city is not chaotic.”
Jing Huilan knew what her husband wanted to ask, so she focused on some cultivation resources.
Shen Ping handed Jing Huilan a storage ring. “There are many medicinal pills, talismans, and other cultivation resources inside. If you and your brother have nothing to do, you can rent a shop not far away and sell them.”
Jing Huilan hesitated for a moment. “Husband, if you lack spirit stones, I still have savings.”
Shen Ping smiled and shook his head. “Lan’er, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t lack cultivation resources for the time being. I let you rent a shop mainly to make friends with some cultivators of the various races and obtain more information. In addition, you can tell the An sisters about this.”
Jing Huilan was enlightened. She could not help but ask, “Husband, are you planning to stay in Gray Stone City forever?”
“I’ll stay here for a few more years.” Shen Ping looked at Jing Huilan meaningfully.
Jing Huilan nodded. “Yes, husband.”
“Fire Copper Stone Essence, Heavenly Obsidian Gold, Flowing Snow Sand… Six Shield Talisman, Little Thunder Flame Talisman… These are all valuable materials, items, and resources. Senior Shen gave them to you just like that?”
In the hall of the side courtyard, Jing Yan scanned the items in his storage ring with his divine sense, his eyes revealing shock. As a direct descendant of the Jing family, it was not that he had never seen precious items, but any one of them was extremely valuable. Even a Divine Transformation cultivator would be tempted, but the other party actually handed them to his sister so easily.
Jing Huilan nodded. “Husband trusts me so much. We siblings must do this well.”
“Of course!” Jing Yan came back to his senses and said excitedly, “Sister, the most important thing in cultivation is resources. With these resources, we can definitely befriend some seniors of the human race. Perhaps we can avenge our Jing family!”
When Jing Huilan heard this, she couldn’t help but be tempted. However, she quickly shook her head and said, “Brother, you can’t do this. My husband treats me so well, so I definitely can’t use my own interests. We’ll talk about revenge in the future.”
“I know. Don’t worry, I won’t delay Senior Shen’s important matter because of hatred. However, even though the two of us have a relatively good understanding of Gray Stone City and know the whereabouts of some seniors in the city, we have to rely on the An Clan to do this well.” Jing Yan calmed down and said.
“Yes, my husband also asked me to tell the An sisters about this. I think he has the same intention.” Jing Huilan said gently, “The An family only has Divine Transformation cultivators. They will definitely help with all their might when they are thirsty for such resources. As long as we open the situation, we can interact with the powerful cultivators of the other races one after another and inquire about the surrounding information.”
“Sister, we have to change our identities. It’s best if we can disguise ourselves as Spirit Race beings. Spirit Race beings look similar to us humans. If we have Spirit Race identities, it’ll be easier to do things.” Jing Yan said seriously.
Jing Huilan nodded. “I’ll tell my husband later and see if we can use that treasure to disguise ourselves.”
An Zhi knew about this the next day. She was also shocked by the materials and items in the spirit ring. There were some things inside, such as the Heavenly Obsidian Gold, that their An family could not take out.
“Sister Huilan, did Senior Shen give these to you?”
“That’s right!”
The curves on An Zhi’s chest immediately fluctuated. She did not expect that not only was Shen Ping’s strength extraordinary, but he also had such resources on him. “Alright, my An family will definitely help with all our might and open up the situation in Gray Stone City as soon as possible!”
A few days later, a True Treasure Pavilion opened on Long Eyes Street not far from the An family’s residence. Due to his Spirit Race identity, the patrolling guards did not make things difficult for them. Even though they knew that there were many precious Level 5 materials and resources in the pavilion, they did not dare to covet them.
After all, the Spirit Race was stronger than the demons on the Myriad Spirit Ranking.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
On this day, in a room in the backyard of the encampment, the pattern embroidered on the pink undergarment was lifelike. As it rose and fell, it extended like waves. Only when it calmed down did the charming flower bud gradually bloom with a fragrance.
Jing Huilan leaned into the arms of the broad figure and reported some of the recent situation of the True Treasure Pavilion in a weak voice. “Husband, currently, there are dozens of Nascent Soul families in Gray Stone City and the surrounding gathering places. They have reached a long-term cooperation with us. There are also a few Divine Transformation experts who want to book the Six Shield Talisman and puppets in advance.”
After saying that, she continued, “The Snow Clan’s Liluo gradually can’t hold on anymore. However, because of that Void Refinement Realm senior, Shi Hu doesn’t intend to continue. As for the Frost Wolf Swamp, the Stone Tiger Clan is already prepared to take over.”
Shen Ping nodded repeatedly and asked, “What strength does the Stone Tiger Clan plan to send to guard the Frost Wolf Swamp?”
Jing Huilan hurriedly replied, “It’s very likely that it would be his subordinate, Shi Meng, who is at the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.”
Shen Ping smiled and held Jing Huilan’s delicate and fair hand. “You found out about this so quickly. It seems that the True Treasure Pavilion is developing well..”
