Shen Ping took out the beast-shaped puppet. This was refined by him, so he naturally had a temporary activation technique. When they saw the puppet, the two guest elders looked happy. They knew how powerful this puppet was. Even Shi Hu was killed by it.
“Pavilion Master, don’t worry. We will definitely investigate the faction that destroyed the branch pavilion.”
There were Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the branch pavilion. It was definitely not a lone cultivator who could destroy it.
Shen Ping nodded. “Ill give you three months. Also, let me remind you that this puppet consumes a lot of energy. Without subsequent supplies, it won’t be able to last long.”
The two guest elders’ hearts skipped a beat. “Yes, Pavilion Master.”
Then, Shen Ping looked at the other five. “Fellow Daoists, you haven’t been in our True Treasure Pavilion for long, but our True Treasure Pavilion has treated you well. Now that the trade path needs to be restored, I’ll have to trouble you to escort it for a while. When the trade path stabilizes, there won’t be any trouble.”
“We’re willing to do our best for the Pavilion Master.”
Although Divine Transformation cultivators were patriarchs and were extremely powerful, they had to lower their heads in the face of stronger ones. Not to mention, the higher their cultivation level, the more they wanted to improve Currently, the only resources that could allow them to continue increasing their strength were basically Gray Stone City. The easiest to obtain was the True Treasure Pavilion.
Therefore, they were already mentally prepared to serve.
After giving the instructions, Shen Ping was not in a hurry to return to the quiet room to cultivate. In fact, with his current strength, relying on absorbing strange stones to cultivate every day was very slow. If not for the Heaven Ascension Hall, his accumulated cultivation would have been a compulsory lesson However, the Heaven Ascension Hall could be said to have allowed one to reach the heavens in a single step. How to ensure his survival in the Heaven Ascension Hall was the key.
There were stone lamps every ten steps in the courtyard. He walked slowly in the corridor with arched eaves and lowered his head to think. In the Heaven Ascension Hall on the second level of the underground palace, he had been able to survive and obtain a high-level beast spirit treasure. To be honest, luck accounted for more than half of it. He had never fought with the second-level beast spirit geniuses of the various races in the four dangerous checkpoints of the Stairway to Heaven, the arena, the metal passageway, and the Blackwater River Jade. Although he was confident that he could kill a second-level beast spirit genius by using the puppet divine power, the consumption of the puppet divine power far exceeded that of a high-level beast spirit treasure. He could not use it twice in a short period of time.
Therefore, if they really fought for the beast spirit treasure in the metal room at the back, he might not be the final winner. And this was only the second level of the underground palace.
In the next three levels of the underground palace and the Heavenly Palace, he would definitely encounter stronger Beast Spirit geniuses. And a second-grade Beast Spirit genius like Yin Ting had an Immortal Artifact to protect her. One could imagine how powerful a first-grade or even a Heaven’s Favorite was.
This was only secondary.
Shen Ping was worried about his skills. Without his wife, concubine, and Dao companions, be it Talisman Daoism or other skills, he had not improved for a long time. Even if he could rely on the stone tablet to slowly comprehend the Beast Scripture, he would not be able to refine the Talisman Beast Diagram or beast puppets if he made no progress in ordinary skills.
“There are still two to three months. If even the immortal Dao seniors of the human race can’t do anything, I can only continue to take in Dao companions. Also, I wonder how 1 can deepen my connection with Yin Ting?”
Just as he was fantasizing, a beautiful figure walked over. She was wearing a thin moon-white silk veil. Her graceful curves looked hazy and beautiful under the light of the stone lamp. When she walked a few steps in front of Shen Ping, she stopped and bowed. “Greetings, Pavilion Master.”
Shen Ping smelled the faint fragrance and could not help but look up. Soon, his gaze landed on the purple lining of the silk gauze. At the edge of her fair and shiny skin, there seemed to be a shadow on the edge of the purple lining. This haziness was really captivating and could arouse the deepest thoughts.
“It’s An Yue It’s so late. Aren’t you cultivating in the quiet room?” He quickly retracted his gaze. He said casually, but there was still the urge to explore the material of the clothes in his heart. He deliberately suppressed it. He knew that he was a mortal and could not completely throw away his distracting thoughts like ascetics or powerful cultivators for the time being. However, An Yue was still an ordinary cultivator.
Although he understood the other party’s intention for standing in front of him at this time, he did not want to try something new.
An Yue rushed into Shen Ping’s arms. She hugged her broad waist tightly and pressed her face against the warm robe. After feeling the strong heartbeat, she bit her red lips and mustered her courage. “Pavilion Master, take me!” Shen Ping was a little confused. He really did not expect the usually shy An Yue to make such a bold move. However, he could clearly feel the throbbing in the depths of the squeeze. He swallowed the words he wanted to refuse because he could imagine how much courage An Yue had used for this moment.
“I—”
Before he could say anything, An Yue suppressed her voice and said, “I noticed the place the Pavilion Master was looking at just now. Even if Yue’er is a little attractive, I hope that Pavilion Master can, can…
Her face was red, and she gritted her teeth but could not say anything. The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched and he revealed an awkward expression. He had tried his best to conceal his actions just now, but his subconscious actions could not be hidden.
“Take me!” An Yue’s teeth chattered.
Shen Ping sighed softly. He pushed away the beautiful figure in his arms and looked at her fair and red skin. He took a deep breath and said, “Your strength is a little low. I’m afraid it’s difficult for you to bear it. I’m thinking for you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Huilan. She knows best.”
An Yue exclaimed. She really did not expect Shen Ping to reply like this. Her face turned even redder. She lowered her head and stammered, “I-I understand.”
With that, she ran away. She ran very quickly and disappeared in a flash.
Shen Ping shook his head helplessly, but from the comer of his eye, he noticed the purple inner lining hanging on his wrist. He was instantly stunned on the spot, and a special fragrance surged into his nose.
In the bedroom of the courtyard, An Zhi looked at her blushing sister and smiled. “Yue’er, you really left that thing behind?”
“Sister don’t tease me anymore. It’s so embarrassing.” An Yue’s face flushed red She held back her embarrassment and asked, “Do you think the Pavilion Master’s words are to reject me or does he mean something else?” Her heart was pounding, afraid of hearing an answer she didn’t want to hear.
An Zhi chuckled. “Do you want to hear the truth or a he?”
“Of course it’s the truth. Sister, tell me quickly.” An Yue urged.
“It’s definitely not a rejection. From my understanding of the pavilion master, if he refused, he would have said it directly and not used such prevarication. Moreover, when the pavilion master came back that day, Sister Huilan indeed walked a little wrongly. Moreover, the time was quite short.” An Zhi said seriously.
An Yue’s eyes lit up. “That’s good, that’s good. Sister, 1 have to cultivate well in the future and break through to the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible.”
An Zhi revealed a gratified expression. “That’s right. No matter what, relationships are only temporary. Cultivation is the foundation. However, a Nascent Soul might not be able to withstand it. Sister, you have to work hard.” An Yue nodded heavily.
Two months later, in the private room on the second floor of the True Treasure Pavilion.
The two Divine Transformation Guests of the Wood and Flower Clans stood respectfully and reported the attack of the branch pavilion in detail. After all, the two of them were Divine Transformation cultivators. If they really spent some effort to investigate, they would naturally be able to gain something. “Pavilion Master, we’ve dealt with the forces that attacked. This is the Record
Crystal.”
Shen Ping looked at the influence in the crystal and nodded. “You’ve done well in this matter. Go to the warehouse in the pavilion later to collect a Level 5 spiritual treasure.”
“Thank you, Pavilion Master!” The two guest elders revealed a hint of joy.
Not long after, Shen Ping asked An Zhiyuan to come over and instructed him to choose a few Nascent Soul cultivators to go to the branch pavilion to guard it again. Then, he asked, “Is the trade path in Sword Seal City safe?” An Zhiyuan replied, “We will occasionally be attacked by the demons, but we can still deal with them. However, if we want to expand the range of the branch pavilion, I’m afraid we don’t have enough manpower at the moment.” Shen Ping knew that An Zhiyuan was talking about a Divine Transformation and a Void Refinement Realm guest elder. After all, Sword Seal City was different from Gray Stone City. Without a Void Refinement Realm expert guarding it, it was very difficult to carry out business. Divine Transformation Realm experts could still be recruited. But if he wanted to rope in a Void Refinement Realm expert, the foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion was far from enough.
“There’s no hurry. Let’s restore the previous caravan’s standard before taking our time.”
After An Zhiyuan left, Lian Xuejin’s gentle voice sounded through the dazzling crystal. “Disciple, I’ve already contacted the immortal Dao seniors of the human race..”
