Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the quiet room.
After finishing his cultivation, Shen Ping opened the virtual frame.
[Puppet Master: Level 1 High-grade (12,410/50,000)]
[Divine sense: Late-stage Qi Refinement (28,672/30,000)]
After his consistent efforts, his divine sense increased very quickly. According to the speed at which he obtained it every day, he would be able to break through in another month at most. He stood up and walked out of the quiet room.
Before he reached the corner of the wooden stairs, the unique fragrance of petals wafted over.
Shen Ping stopped in his tracks and looked hesitant. He could not help but recall the words of the demoness of the Acacia Faction. Although he did not believe it at all, there was indeed something wrong with the recent situation of Yu Yan. She was not uncomfortable in other aspects, but every time they cultivated, Yu Yan’s charm became deeper.
…..
With a wave of his hand, the skylight opened. Waves of rain mixed with coolness hit his face. He stood there for a while. In the end, he shook his head and walked towards the talisman making room.
After a meal, Shen Ping brought Yu Yan out of Yunhe Alley and arrived at the market.
Looking at the rushing cultivators around her, Yu Yan suddenly said, “The demonic cultivators in the Cloud Mountain Swamp are becoming more and more fearless. 1 heard that there are even Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators taking action. At this rate, chaos in the market is probably not far away.”
Seeing that Shen Ping did not say anything, Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Fellow Daoist Shen, did something happen to me?” Without waiting for a response, She continued, “I’ve been a little overboard in that aspect recently. This has never happened before. Every time 1 take a bath…”
Shen Ping interrupted with a smile. “It’s fine.”
Yu Yan snorted. “Then why did Fellow Daoist Shen break the appointment this morning? Are you afraid?!”
“How is this possible?! I’ll definitely let Fellow Daoist Yu have a taste of my power tomorrow.”
“Then I’ll wait for you, husband.” Yu Yan sent a voice transmission and separated from Shen Ping with a smile.
He watched her leave. Shen Ping sighed. He had always thought that he was the bravest. Who knew that he had met his match? He shook his head and suppressed his distracting thoughts. He first went to other shops to buy something before walking to the True Treasure Pavilion.
There was a guest elder’s wooden token. He didn’t need Mu Jin to take him all the way to the third floor.
However, just as he stepped through the door, waves of spiritual pressure surged over like a mountain. Shen Ping’s expression changed, and the spiritual energy in his dantian and meridians automatically circulated to resist. However, this spiritual pressure was quickly dissipated by the special array in the pavilion.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
He walked in and walked along the small path in the middle of the row of wooden shelves. Every time he passed a row of bookshelves, he could sense traces of powerful divine sense sweeping over. Fortunately, his divine sense was not far from the Foundation Establishment. Even so, he still felt very uncomfortable.
He braced himself and arrived at Area D. His eyes swept past the rows of wooden shelves and quickly landed on the fifth row of wooden shelves in Area D.
[The True Book of Yin and Yang]
[Joy of Making Love]
[Spear and Shield]
A smile appeared on Shen Ping’s face. As expected, this third floor was all-encompassing. There should be something he wanted. He went forward and casually flipped open one or two books before reading them with relish.
Time passed. When he came back to her senses, it was already one in the afternoon.
“It’s really broad and profound!” He looked away reluctantly. His powerful will hinted that he could not be immersed in it. Then, he quickly flipped through the books and finally found the records in Spear and Shield.
“Inner Charm Fire Body… The more you suppress it, the stronger the fire body will be. Although this physique won’t harm a woman’s foundation, once you can’t suppress it, a woman will lose control and cause a backlash.”
Shen Ping frowned and hurriedly checked the solution. The explanation was simple. As long as a woman with such a physique cultivated a special cultivation technique and transformed the suppressed fire body into the power of the cultivation technique, not only could it be easily resolved, but it would also benefit the woman greatly.
He continued to flip through it. Unfortunately, it did not say what cultivation technique he needed to cultivate.
“What kind of stupid book is this?!” He was speechless, but he quickly frowned. Normally, there would not be any problems with Yu Yan’s physique. However, ever since she became his Dao companion, it had indeed been too frequent. It was very likely that this was the reason why she had symptoms now.
Although it was not serious, it would eventually be triggered if this continued.
“Chen Ying of the Acacia Faction.”
The demonic woman’s voice transmission was misleading and malicious. However, it caused him to become vigilant. Else, if he did not know about this, it might be too late by the time he noticed it.
“There’s no hurry. After making sufficient preparations, 1’11 probe again.”
Visiting her was only a bad idea. Who knew if that demoness would use this to threaten him or even deliberately give him a cultivation technique that would harm Yu Yan?
Without a complete understanding of such a physique, Shen Ping would not let himself fall into a passive state. His main solution now was still on the third floor. After all, he had only read some books today.
Hence, for the next half a month, he would come to the True Treasure Pavilion every few days to read relevant books. After quickly flipping through such books in Area D, he really found the introduction to the special cultivation technique that the Inner Charm Fire Body needed to cultivate. This made him overjoyed. As long as he knew the type of cultivation technique, be it looking for that demoness or buying it with contribution points in the True Treasure Pavilion, there was still room.
“Senior Chen!” When he walked out of the third floor, Shen Ping met an unexpected person.
The owner of Spring Embroidery Pavilion. Her handsome eyebrows were a little worried at this moment. She was still wearing the plain orchid robe she had worn at the Foundation Establishment banquet last time. The cloud patterns on her left shoulder spread down and covered her outline.
“Shen Ping greets Senior Chen!” Shen Ping bowed respectfully.
The owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion seemed to be thinking about something and did not react for a moment until a Foundation Establishment Cultivator beside her smiled. “Fellow Daoist Chen, do you know this Fellow Daoist Shen?”
“You, you’re Talisman Master Shen?!” The owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion came back to her senses. Her pleasant voice was filled with surprise.
As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her memory was astonishing. Although she only took a quick glance at the Foundation Establishment banquet, she still remembered the appearances of all the invited cultivators in the front hall.
In an instant, her memory gradually became clearer.
That’s right.
He was Talisman Master Shen. There was a period of time when he was recommended by the shopkeeper of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion. She thought highly of this person and personally arranged for her maid to meet him. She wanted to further deepen the cooperation. Unfortunately, she did not succeed. From then on, she did not take it to heart.
The Foundation Establishment banquet was only a polite invitation. But how long had it been? The other party had actually advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refinement!
“A Talisman Master? Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Shen, to be able to become a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion at the late-stage of Qi Refinement, your level in the Dao of Talismans must be very high.”
When he heard the Foundation Establishment Cultivator beside him, Shen Ping cupped his hands humbly. “Senior, you flatter me.”
Only then did the owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion notice the guest wooden token hanging on the left side of Shen Ping’s waist. Her expression changed slightly, then she fell silent.
They chatted for two to three sentences. Shen Ping bade farewell and walked down. She looked at his back. She stood rooted to the ground for a long time before saying expressionlessly, “1 misjudged him.”
The Foundation Establishment cultivator beside her was stunned for a moment before he quickly understood the meaning of this sentence. He pondered and said, “Can you make up for it?” In the end, he added, “To be able to obtain the position of a guest elder at the late-stage of Qi Refinement, this potential is extremely rare.”
The owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion did not respond. When she entered the third floor and stood in front of the wooden shelf in Area C, she said faintly, “1 have to try..”
