The next day, Shen Ping saw the senior who had invited him in the hall in the backyard of the branch pavilion, but he did not expect this senior to be a female cultivator. Moreover, she had the ability to retain her beauty. She looked like she was in her twenties. Her skin was like jade, her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, her lips were red, and her teeth were white. She was wearing a silk green gauze dress, and her graceful figure was prominent. Her plump buttocks were round, and her black hair fell like a waterfall. She had a slender waist. Her aura was clearly thick, but it made people subconsciously ignore the pressure of the magic power and want to explore the scenery inside the gauze dress.
“The Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion greets Senior Yue!”
Previously, An Zhiyuan had already revealed some information about this senior. Her surname was Yue and her Daoist name was Fairy Luo Xia. She was the Peak Master of Luo Xia Peak in Sword Seal City. Her cultivation had already reached the Perfection Void Refinement Realm. It was said that she was only a step away from becoming a Body Integration Almighty.
In the entire Abyss of Supreme Darkness, Body Integration cultivators were considered powerful cultivators who could oversee a region. After all, cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and Mahayana Realm were elusive. Experts at this level either cultivated in seclusion or fled to the starry sky to seek opportunities to break through.
To be able to cultivate to the Perfection Void Refinement Realm in the chaotic lands as a woman, one could see that her talent and her methods were extraordinary.
Although Shen Ping had many fortuitous opportunities and the power of a strange beast that seized the natural energy of heaven and earth, he would not underestimate others. Even if he killed a great demon at the Void Refinement Realm, he would not be conceited.
Fairy Luo Xia smiled sweetly. Waves of fragrance assaulted him, and her every move did not have the slightest hint of a powerful expert. Her gaze shifted to Shen Ping, and her red lips parted slightly. “I’ve long heard that the Pavilion Master killed a Void Refinement Realm demon with a Nascent Soul realm cultivation. You’re indeed extraordinary. I can’t even see through it at all!”
As a Perfected Void Refinement Realm cultivator, her divine sense was extremely powerful. With a casual sweep, not to mention blocking it, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to calm down. However, when she was speaking just now, she used her divine sense to investigate slightly, but she was isolated by an energy on the surface of Shen Ping’s body. This surprised her.
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Senior Yue, you flatter me. I just have a self-defense treasure. This treasure was bestowed by my master.”
Fairy Luo Xia heard this and couldn’t help but ask, “May I know your teacher’s dao name?”
Shen Ping replied, “My master is in seclusion all year round and has not appeared in the world for a long time.”
Fairy Luo Xia did not continue to probe. Instead, she changed the topic and talked about other things, such as the source of the precious materials in the True Treasure Pavilion and whether there were any higher-level Level 7 spiritual treasures.
Shen Ping responded to them one by one. They chatted for twenty minutes. When Fairy Luo Xia mentioned the invasion of the demons, she said with a slightly solemn expression, “Pavilion Master Shen, to be honest, the invasion of the demons has always been a problem for the human race in Sword Seal City. It’s just that the demons are unpredictable and it’s difficult to find the source. Even if we destroy some of them, we won’t be able to cause harm to the demons. Moreover, the human race’s situation is getting more and more difficult. If we encounter a demon expert of the same level, even I might die if I’m not careful.”
When he heard that, Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “Senior Yue, I also know about the problem of demon cultivators, but such a matter has not been resolved for hundreds or thousands of years, and there are no other good plans. This time, I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do to invite me here. After all, my cultivation is limited—”
Fairy Luo Xia shook her head and interrupted, “Although you’re in the Nascent Soul realm, your combat strength is extraordinary. Killing demons is the righteousness of our human race. If Pavilion Master Shen can help, not only will the human cultivators in Sword Seal City, but even the entire Abyss of Supreme Darkness will be grateful!”
Shen Ping pursed his lips. “Senior Yue, you’ve thought highly of me!”
After a few explanations, Fairy Luo Xia decided not to beat around the bush when she saw that Shen Ping was unmoved. Instead, she revealed the true purpose of the invitation. “Pavilion Master Shen, the magic treasure you used to kill Shi Hu that day was quite powerful. You also have a puppet with you. If you can lend it to my Sword Seal City’s Body Integration senior, it will be easy for us to destroy the nearby demons!”
Shen Ping almost spat out his tea when he heard that. What a joke. A dignified Perfected Void Refinement Realm cultivator actually borrowed a magic treasure from him. Wasn’t this like a meat bun hitting a dog and never returning? Moreover, his silk blade was a beast spirit treasure. Ordinary cultivators could not activate it at all.
Fairy Luo Xia was truly daring. However, she was a Void Refinement Realm senior after all, so it was not appropriate for him to reject her directly. Instead, he said, “Senior Yue, puppets and magical treasures were bestowed by my master. I don’t dare to lend them to others easily. If my master finds out, I won’t be able to explain myself.”
Fairy Luo Xia smiled and said, “That’s simple. Tell me where your master lives. I’ll personally visit. I think my Luo Xia Peak still has some face.”
“I’m afraid that’s difficult. My master has been in seclusion for a long time and never likes to interact with others. He also hates being disturbed by others.” Shen Ping was in a difficult position. No matter what Fairy Luo Xia said or asked, Shen Ping pushed the blame to his master. After chatting for a while, Fairy Luo Xia could only take her leave and let Shen Ping think about it. Before she left, she did not forget to repeat that eliminating demons was the righteousness of the human race.
He personally sent her off. When he returned to the backyard, Shen Ping’s expression darkened.
An Zhiyuan said apologetically, “Pavilion Master, I didn’t know that this was the case. I didn’t expect that Fairy Luo Xia to disregard her dignity and openly snatch it. Please punish me!”
Shen Ping waved his hand. “It’s not your fault!”
Fairy Luo Xia was a senior. How could An Zhiyuan, a mere Divine Transformation cultivator, refuse?
An Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he said, “Pavilion Master, it would seem like Fairy Luo Xia has come with ill intentions. We should set off immediately and return to Gray Stone City to be safe!”
“It’s probably too late to leave now..”
