Chapter 190: The Path I Want to Take

In the hall in the backyard, the thick Nascent Soul aura of the Sword Envoy, which carried an extremely oppressive aura, had already been completely restrained.

His gaze landed on Shen Ping. He first confirmed Shen Ping’s ident.i.ty according to the fixed process of the True Treasure Pavilion. Then, he flipped his palm and a special and exquisite jade box floated in front of him. The surface of this jade box was carved with a strange beast pattern. In the center, there was a word that emitted waves of fainting.

“Talisman Master Shen, this is a medium-grade restricted resource. It’s an extremely precious item of the True Treasure Pavilion. Other than you, if you want to give it to others to use, you must apply to the True Treasure Pavilion. You can only give it away after the headquarters’ records have pa.s.sed.

“If it’s given privately, once it’s discovered, not only will the core member’s ident.i.ty and authority be immediately revoked, but he will also be imprisoned. In serious cases, the headquarters will send experts to erase all traces of this member in the five continents and four seas.”

Shen Ping’s expression turned cold. He had originally wanted to use restricted resources for his wife and concubines. If he did not know this rule, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, when the core members first obtained restricted resources, they should have been reminded. Otherwise, when he asked what resources could speed up the foundation building of his wife and concubines, Perfected Pei would definitely have reminded him.

“Lord Sword Envoy, 1 will definitely strictly abide by this rule.” He cupped his hands and said solemnly.

The sword envoy nodded. The special and exquisite jade box in front of him landed in front of Shen Ping. “Most of the time, the True Treasure Pavilion will pa.s.s it. They won’t deliberately obstruct you.”

Shen Ping’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He did not expect the sword envoy to say this to him.

Through Pei Huoyu, he knew that the sword envoy in front of him was a powerful sword cultivator among the battle cultivators of the True Treasure Pavilion. Even if he ascended to the top of the Hidden Dragon Rankings, he might not be able to make the other party look at him in a different light. They often cared about battle cultivators of the same kind, not cultivators who were good at various techniques.

The Sword Envoy’s lips moved. “For Talisman Master Shen to be able to pa.s.s through the third level of the trial s.p.a.ce with the first volume of his beast form, you ought to have grasped some formidable means of the Dao of Talismans. If you only cultivate and study the Dao of Talismans with such combat strength, it would be a little too wasteful. When you come to the headquarters in the future, if you’re not interested in the other halls, you can come to my Sword Hall.”

Shen Ping was slightly stunned. When he came back to his senses, the sword envoy had already walked out of the door of the backyard hall. Soon, under the respectful escort of the elders, deacons, and guest elders of the True Treasure Pavilion, he disappeared into the sky.

“In a while, it will be the Flower Appreciation Festival of Perfected Linhai. At that time, not only will there be Mange Spirit Gra.s.s, but there will also be other rare flower species. Moreover, it is said that a very unique flower will appear in this festival. I wonder if Talisman Master Shen is interested in partic.i.p.ating?”

The sword envoy had just left when Elder Qi asked with a smile. Seeing that Shen Ping was silent for a moment, he added, “The scale of this gathering is relatively large. Some powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Immortal City and the Foundation Establishment disciples of the various sects in the Northern Rock Marsh Region are also invited.”

At this point, Shen Ping naturally did not refuse. The reason why he did not go to the Flower Appreciation Festival previously was mainly because he did not want to attract too much attention. But now that there were other Foundation Establishment cultivators around, he would not be so conspicuous if he went. Of course, the most important thing was that Perfected Yun Ya was also there. With Perfected Pei and her senior brother protecting him, he would be very safe no matter what the situation was.

On the way back to Yongyang Market, Shen Ping hesitated before telling him about the sword envoy’s voice transmission.

“Although there are very few core members of the Sword Hall in the various halls of the True Treasure Pavilion, every one of them is very strong. This is because the Sword Hall has very harsh requirements for members. For example, after 1 break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, it will be very difficult for me to become a member of the Sword Hall.”

Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping with envy in his eyes. “It’s very rare for you to be invited by a sword envoy at the Foundation Establishment realm.” Although she said that, she was not too surprised by this matter.

Half a year.

Most of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators in the True Treasure Pavilion had a clear understanding of the difficulty of the trial s.p.a.ce. Therefore, Pei Huoyu knew very well that Shen Ping, who had pa.s.sed the third level with just the first volume of the beast form, could unleash combat strength that far exceeded his imagination under the premise of sufficient protection.

In her eyes, Shen Ping was timid and afraid of death. He rarely fought with others and had almost no experience. However, in her heart, Pei Huoyu understood that once a Talisman Dao genius like Shen Ping completely mastered the Beast Scripture, he would be an extremely terrifying existence.

Shen Ping was stunned and could not help but ask, “Senior Pei, do you mean to agree to me joining the Sword Hall?”

Pei Huoyu said almost without thinking, “Of course I agree. Although the Sword Hall is not good at all kinds of techniques, they rarely meet their match at the Nascent Soul realm. After you join, you will have a chance to cultivate the core inherited cultivation technique of the Sword Hall. In the future, it will be much easier for you to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and temper yourself.

“Moreover, the members of the Sword Hall are not as complicated as the other halls, with many factions.”

Shen Ping immediately understood. The reason why Pei Huoyu suggested this was very likely because the latter was the key.

It was a pity that although the Sword Hall was good, whether it was a battle cultivator or a sword cultivator, they were destined to constantly fight with other cultivators to increase their spells, divine powers, and strength. This kind of path that often wandered on the edge of a blade was not something he yearned for.

He cultivated steadily, dual cultivating every day. He tried his best to avoid all trouble and not take the initiative to cause trouble. However, he was not afraid of trouble. This was the cultivation path that Shen Ping really wanted.

“I appreciate Senior Pei’s kindness, but Sword Hall is not my goal after all.” Shen Ping said seriously.

Previously, he mentioned it mainly because he was worried that the Sword Envoy had other deeper intentions. Now, since it was purely because of the combat strength of his Talisman Dao techniques, there was no need to consider it anymore.

Pei Huoyu was speechless and could not help but say, “That’s the Sword Hall. Cultivators like us have to fight against the heavens and bravely advance without fear of all difficulties…”

Halfway through her sentence, she immediately stopped and snorted after seeing that Shen Ping’s expression did not change at ail. “Forget it, I almost forgot Fellow Daoist Shen’s preferences. It’s indeed very difficult to have any intention of fighting with the amount of s.e.x you have every day!”

Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands. “Senior Pei, every cultivator has their own choice, and there are thousands of Great Dao. I only want to walk the path I like and find suitable. Even if I don’t reach the peak in the end, 1 have no regrets.”

His voice was firm.

Pei Huoyu went silent for a moment. As if she had gotten to know Shen Ping again, she cupped her hands seriously and said, “I was wrong just now. Although Fellow Daoist Shen doesn’t have the intention to fight, your understanding of the cultivation path is indeed commendable.”

“Senior Pei is too kind!” Shen Ping quickly shook his head and said, “This is just a superficial understanding.” The two of them did not continue to exchange their different views on the Dao. Until they walked into the courtyard, Shen Ping’s voice sounded again. “Senior Pei, actually, 1 really want to see your Golden Core Dao.”

“You’re only at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Golden Core…” As Pei Huoyu spoke, she noticed Shen Ping’s strange gaze. She had felt the gaze that seemed to want to tear the light armor dress into pieces many times.

If it was in the past, she would only scowl at him in the face of such a question that touched her soul. But now, Pei Huoyu stopped in her tracks and said indifferently, “I’m afraid my Golden Core Dao is not suitable for you.”

“Don’t worry about it. 1 can take the initiative to adapt to Senior Pei’s Dao. May 1 know what form your Golden Core is in?” Shen Ping tried his best to suppress his voice and make it seem natural so that it would not tremble from nervousness.

Pei Huoyu’s valiant face did not change at all, but there was already a trace of redness on her earlobe, especially the curves of her light armor. “1 don’t know.” “Are there black patterns on the Golden Core?”

“I’m not sure.

“What about the color of the Golden Core?”

“I didn’t notice… Fellow Daoist Shen, you should wait until your cultivation reaches the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm before discussing the Dao of the Golden Core with me!” As soon as the voice sounded, Pei Huoyu had already disappeared on the spot.

Shen Ping looked in the direction of the quiet room, his arms trembling. His plain brocade robe was drenched in sweat, but he revealed a penetrating smile.

A moment later, he sat cross-legged on a cus.h.i.+on. His thoughts were in a mess. Even after he recited the Buddha’s Mercy dozens of times, he could not calm down. Helpless, he could only go to the talisman room to make talismans. Yet he actually failed three to four times in a row. It was the same for low-level Golden Light Talismans.

Shen Ping’s lips twitched. After a while, the pleasant symphony in the bedroom played the most primitive sound. It lasted until dinner. He casually ate some spirit rice porridge before he returned to the main quiet room and sat cross-legged.

Five minutes later, his chaotic heart finally calmed down completely. He took out an exquisite jade box carved with the pattern of a strange beast and placed it in front of him..
