Fairy Luo Xia’s expression changed slightly and she could not help but say, “Spiritual resources for breaking through to the Body Integration Realm are very rare, even in the Penglai Immortal City. If Pavilion Master Shen can really provide enough, I will definitely help you open a trade route.”

She leaned forward slightly. The tight and round curves seemed to be on the verge of being revealed, and she seemed to be suppressing her voice as she said, “Moreover, I’ve already sworn to be loyal to the pavilion master, so I’ll naturally be at your disposal.”

Shen Ping’s eyes slowly spread down the curve. When they landed on the place where the curves converged, he seemed to hear slightly heavier breathing. However, when he was about to continue watching, he realized that his vision was empty. When he came back to his senses, Fairy Luo Xia was already standing beside him. A fragrant wind surged into his nose.

“Is there anything else, Pavilion Master?”

The breath she exhaled hit his face. Shen Ping suppressed the urge to tear through the layers of defense on its surface and shook his head.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave.”

Not long after Fairy Luo Xia left, An Zhi walked in and briefly reported the situation of Gray Stone City, Black Fiend City, and the sudden change in the branch pavilion. As she took charge of the affairs of the branch pavilion, her slightly charming temperament gradually had the aura of a business executive in his previous life.

Especially her tall and slender legs, Shen Ping could not help but size her up. He recalled the scenery he had seen with the Eye of Sea Beast last time. The blood of the strange beast that he had painstakingly suppressed boiled again. “Fellow Daoist An, from your aura, I think you’re not far from the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. It’s better to leave the matters in the pavilion to Huilan and her brother for the time being.”

He had said this more than once. However, the effect was minimal. An Zhi seemed to like the feeling of being in charge of matters.

“Pavilion Master, don’t worry. The breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm is very important. I won’t delay.” After bowing, she turned around and walked out of the private room. However, the moment she stepped out of the door, she paused and turned around with a charming smile. “If Pavilion Master likes it, I can serve you.”

Shen Ping looked a little embarra.s.sed. Before he could say anything, An Zhi’s figure disappeared. He shook his head helplessly. As he used the strange beast talent more and more times, the side effects became greater and greater.

If it was in the past, even if he felt that An Zhi had some taste, he would definitely not size her up so brazenly.

For the next half a month, he was dealing with some matters of the True Treasure Pavilion and treated it as relaxing his mind. On the other hand, it was not easy for Jing Huilan to accept his kindness. She looked listless every day. Jing Huilan heaved a sigh of relief when Shen Ping began to cultivate in seclusion.

In the blink of an eye, five years pa.s.sed.

Sword Seal City was still prosperous. There was an endless stream of cultivators from all races on the streets. As the number one cultivation city in the Black Mist Direlands that was leaning towards the mainland, it could not leave any traces of time on it in just five years.

In the quiet room in the backyard.

Under the envelopment of the array, a powerful aura suddenly shook the surroundings. When this aura completely dissipated, Shen Ping, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

After five years of tireless cultivation, relying on the strange stones he had obtained efficiently from the third level of the underground palace, he finally raised his cultivation to the Perfected Divine Transformation Realm.

He was just a little bit away from breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.

At the Void Refinement Realm, not to mention the purity and enhancement of his magic power, just being able to activate the true form of a high-grade beast spirit treasure would allow Shen Ping’s strength to soar.

Although he was only one step away, he understood that it was not easy to cross.

He stabilized his cultivation. He stood up and took out the dazzling crystal to send a message to his master before walking out of the quiet room.

When An Zhiyuan received the news, he quickly came to the hall in the backyard. He first told him about the important things that had happened in Sword Seal City, Gray Stone City, Black Fiend City, and other gathering places in the past few years.

Shen Ping raised his eyebrows when he heard that. “Another Void Refinement Realm great devil has appeared in the Devil Clan of Gray Stone City. Looks like it’s the method of the Black Tiger King of Sword Seal City.”

An Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly, “Pavilion Master’s guess is right. I’ve specially asked Senior Yue about this. The great devil from Gray Stone City has indeed served the Black Tiger King. Although he only lives in Gray Stone City and hasn’t made any other moves, there might be some probing in the future. “Moreover, according to the news I secretly received, that great devil seems to be in seclusion cultivating, but in fact, he has gone to the gathering places of the other races a lot. He has even provoked the Merchant Alliance of Gray

Stone City many times.”

Shen Ping’s expression was calm. The cultivators of the various races had always fought endlessly. After all, there were only so many resources in the entire Sword Seal City and Gray Stone City. The True Treasure Pavilion had developed rapidly over the years, so it naturally harmed the interests of certain races. If not for the scarcity of spiritual treasures and his strength, the Merchant Alliance of Gray Stone City would have long disbanded. “As long as they don’t touch the interests of our True Treasure Pavilion, there’s no need to care.”

“Yes.” After An Zhiyuan replied, he hesitated and said, “Pavilion Master, there aren’t enough spiritual treasures, talismans, puppets, and other items in the warehouse recently.”

Shen Ping nodded. “I’ll deal with this matter quickly.”

In the past five years, Yin Ting had been in seclusion the entire time and did not make any transactions with him. Naturally, the spiritual resources in his inventory were insufficient. The main reason was that as the True Treasure Pavilion’s stall became larger and larger, the consumption gradually increased. Other items and resources could form a virtuous cycle through the transportation of the caravan, but high-level talismans, puppets, and spiritual treasures above the sixth level needed him to make up for it.

“Also, Senior Yue has been here a few times before. There seems to be something important.”

After An Zhiyuan left, Shen Ping was not in a hurry to give Fairy Luo Xia a message. Instead, he stayed with Jing Huilan for a few days before entering the Strange Beast Gate. It had been a while since he went to the Heaven Ascension

Hall.

Psst.

Enhancement, Eye of Sea Beast, teleportation… Three strange beast talents were instantly activated. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the Heaven Ascension Hall. He rested for ten days before he activated the strengthened Eye of Sea Beast again and saw through the layers of metal palaces. After landing at the end, there was still no jade box in the metal room.

This made him a little disappointed.

He left the Heaven Ascension Hall. Just as he was about to leave, the communication stone vibrated slightly. His eyes lit up. After opening it, it was indeed Yin Ting’s voice.

“I’m done with my seclusion. I’ll be staying in the underground palace for the next few days. If you come in, remember to send me a message.” A few days later, in the stone cave enveloped by the array formation, the purplish-green soft armor and the gauze lining were casually thrown aside. The white wings kept trembling until the strange smell in the air became rich. Only then did the purplish-green soft armor cover the white feathers. Yin Ting’s fair cheeks were still flushed. She glanced at Shen Ping and said in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist Shen, h-how did you s.n.a.t.c.h the Beast Pattern Golden

Fruit?”

Shen Ping pinched her thick and round curves and chuckled. “You can’t hold it in anymore?”

Yin Ting was a little embarra.s.sed. She had actually wanted to ask for a long time, but it was very difficult to ask. If not for the fact that her clan and master had been urging her, she would not have chosen to ask when they were relaxed.

“Of course it was s.n.a.t.c.hed away with my ability.” He said casually.

Yin Ting asked, “At that time, the Flame Clan had nine Beast Spirit geniuses, including several second-grade Beast Spirit geniuses. They also had immortal artifacts that could quickly activate the immortal formation. Although you have the Talisman Beast Diagram, even a hundred of them can’t break the immortal formation.”

She was right. Once the immortal formation was completely activated, even a prodigy-level Beast Spirit genius would not be able to break the immortal formation in a few breaths. Shen Ping had a certain amount of luck to be able to succeed.

“Our human race naturally has some methods that you don’t know about.” Hearing this, Yin Ting was speechless, but she could hear the perfunctoriness in Shen Ping’s words, so she did not continue asking. “Thanks to you, the clan and Master value me more. They want me to get out your secrets at all costs.” Seeing Yin Ting being so honest, Shen Ping turned around again and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Yin, haven’t you personally experienced the greatest secret on me? Or are you not satisfied with this?”

A cold voice soon sounded. “Hmph, you lecher, you only know how to take advantage of me… When we first met, I could tell that you had ulterior motives!”

“That’s not because I have ulterior motives, but because 1 have a murder weapon. Tell me quickly, are you satisfied with my secret?”

“Unsatisfied!”
