Chapter 167: Perfected Yun Ya Leaves

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the lush forest, the lush branches and leaves blocked the light, revealing a cool and gray oppression. Shen Ping, who had been in the cultivation city for a long time, was a little unaccustomed to this environment for the first time. However, this was only the periphery of the Yulin Mountain Range after all. In addition, he had a Golden Core expert from the headquarters like Perfected Pei beside him. In just five minutes, he gradually adapted.

In the following month, he would take four hours to go to the Yulin Mountain Range to study the control of the hidden runes.

At five o’clock in the evening, the sunset dyed half the sky red. Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu rode the cloud boat towards the Linhai Immortal City.

On the way, he would occasionally scan with his divine sense, but every time he sensed the powerful and dense Golden Core magic powers on Pei Huoyu’s body, he would instantly shrink back in fear.

The cultivation world was extremely dangerous. Even a small place like the Cloud Mountain Parlour would be targeted by robbery cultivators, let alone the Linhai Immortal City, the holy land of the rogue cultivators.

As long as it was not in the city, they would be ambushed by robbery cultivators or even demonic cultivators.

Most true disciples of sects also had Dao Protectors by their side. However, in order to temper themselves and increase their magical techniques and killing power, they often hid their Dao Protectors. Only when they encountered danger that they could not fight against would their Dao Protectors take action.

Pei Huoyu had actually suggested this before, but Shen Ping rejected her. He had never yearned for the kind of slaughter and adventure that wandered between the blades. If he could avoid trouble, he would try his best to avoid it. After all, how could one not wet their shoes when walking by the river?

He only had one life. If he was not careful, he would die and never have the chance to do it again.

However, Shen Ping knew that not all cultivators liked to cultivate steadily. For example, Perfected Pei beside him was a battle cultivator who liked to fight and wanted to suppress ten thousand enemies alone.

Swoosh.

Rainbow lights fell from the city gate one after another. Compared to Qingyang City, the strength and cultivation of the rogue cultivators in the Linhai Immortal City were clearly stronger.

Back in the city, Shen Ping was not in a hurry to return to Yongyang Market. He took the Cloud Beast Carriage and arrived at the True Treasure Pavilion first. On the second floor, he used his contribution points to exchange for the Golden Core treasure, the Hundred Chen Blood Channel Flower. When he left, he encountered Chong Ji.

Hence, the two of them walked into the private room to chat.

“Fellow Daoist Fu has fallen.”

He had just sat down when Chong Yan’s first sentence stunned Shen Ping. “When did this happen?”

“Half a month ago.”

Shen Ping fell silent.

Chong Ji continued, “This is the tribulation of the couple. They were obsessed with array formations and eventually died because of them. Speaking of which, I’m responsible for this. A while ago, they invited me to explore a relatively remote ruin cave abode. I was busy with other things and didn’t go with them. In the end, they were plotted against by their companions in the cave abode. In order to let his Dao Companion escape, Fellow Daoist Fu fought hard and finally died.”

“Where’s Fellow Daoist Le?¹

it

“She injured an arm. Fortunately, she escaped.”

Shen Ping sighed. “If 1 hadn’t let…”

Chong Ji shook his head and interrupted, “It’s even more dangerous to stay in Qingyang City. In recent days, many guest elders of the Wei Kingdom have taken a flying ship to the Linhai Immortal City. 1 heard from them that the Acacia Faction placed the cultivators of the Luosha Demonic Valley and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in the city and wreaked havoc and killed cultivators everywhere. It caused everyone to panic, and Foundation Establishment cultivators were not spared.”

Hearing this, Shen Ping could not help but be shocked. “The situation in the Wei Kingdom has worsened?”

Chong Ji nodded. “All the sects and factions in the twelve countries have been involved in this war between the righteous and demonic paths. It has even affected the mortal countries. Recently, the True Treasure Pavilion, the Mystic Immortal Pavilion, Spring Garden, and other factions will retreat from that area one after another.

“Shopkeeper Qu, Shopkeeper Ding and the others are the last batch to evacuate. When they arrive at the Linhai Immortal City, if you have the time, you can gather together.”

Shen Ping agreed. The two of them chatted about the Linhai Immortal City before leaving one after another.

At dinner, he mentioned Fellow Daoist Fu’s death. Yu Yan was stunned for a moment before sighing softly. “Senior Fu is a passionate person. 1 didn’t expect him to die here.”

Shen Ping sighed. “The path to longevity is filled with corpses. Cultivators like us should advance cautiously. Yu Yan, Yun’er, Ying’er, remember not to explore the ruins and cave abodes in the future. Nine out of ten of those so-called opportunities are traps.”

His wife and concubines nodded seriously.

A few days later, the two Perfecteds arrived at Yongyang Market.

One of them was a Perfected dressed in a sky-blue palace dress. There were emerald pink cloud patterns on both sides of her long sleeves and waist. She smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Qiu, your dao companion is indeed worthy of being a core member of the True Treasure Pavilion. To be able to live in Yongyang Market at the Foundation Establishment realm, the rent of every small courtyard here is very expensive.”

Perfected Qiu could not help but remind her, “Fellow Daoist Ying, my husband’s other wife and concubines’ cultivation levels are still low. Don’t say anything.”

“Don’t worry.

As the two of them spoke, they walked to the small courtyard of B39. Shen Ping had long received Daoist Qiu’s message. At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the small courtyard and waiting.

“Greetings, Senior Ying.” He cupped his hands and bowed.

Fellow Daoist Ying sized up Shen Ping and did not feel anything different. After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, they entered the courtyard one after another. “It’s a good fate for Talisman Master Shen to become my good friend’s Dao companion. I hope you cherish it.”

She didn’t stay for long. Fellow Daoist Ying left, but before she left, she said something. Shen Ping did not care. Even without Fellow Daoist Ying’s words, he would still cherish every Dao companion.

There was still the lingering taste of the spirit wine in the room. He looked at Perfected Qiu, whom he had not seen for months. Shen Ping could not help but lean forward and take a light sniff. He could smell the fragrance of alcohol on her body. “Ying’er. How long has your depression been accumulating this time?”

Qiu Ying was already a little drunk. The purple-brown palace dress she was wearing quietly slipped off. The majestic curve broke free and suddenly jumped out. “A long time. I didn’t resolve it alone. I’ve been waiting for this day. Husband, there’s no need to pity me. I want to feel the full strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

Psst.

He unsheathed his sword. In an instant, a rainbow pierced through the sun. The layers of wrinkled clouds in the sky immediately dissipated to the sides. The Spirit Pressure of Foundation Establishment surged over. The two of them could not help but sigh.

Soon, the two figures began to fight. However, Qiu Ying was a Golden Core cultivator after all. She stood still and endured the spiritual pressure of the Foundation Establishment realm until the bitterness was relieved all day.

When the spirit wine wet the ground, the magic power aura in the room slowly dissipated.

Perfected Qiu leaned into Shen Ping’s arms. Her black hair was disheveled, and her charming eyes revealed a hint of gentleness. “Husband, you have to work day and night. Can I stay here to accompany you in the future?”

Shen Ping lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He said softly, “Ying’er, you don’t have to consider everything for me. Although Golden Core cultivation doesn’t have the pressure of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment, it’s difficult to condense a Nascent Soul. You should focus on your own cultivation.”

His words were sincere and did not lie at all. His wife and concubines’ cultivation levels were relatively low. They meditated for several hours a day and their spiritual roots had already reached their limit. However, Golden Core was different. Sometimes, a few months would pass in seclusion. If they cultivated a powerful spell or refined a magical treasure, it was common for them to cultivate for years or even more than ten years.

Therefore, he did not ask for her to accompany him day and night.

Qiu Ying looked at Shen Ping and was moved. “Husband, my potential has been exhausted. It’s useless to cultivate anymore. Why don’t you…” She stopped mid-sentence and stared at the jade box floating in Shen Ping’s palm, marking the items inside.

Hundred Chen Blood Channel Flower.

A rare Golden Core treasure. It was the resource she had always needed.

“With this, 1 believe Ying’er won’t be far from breaking through to the late-stage of the Golden Core Realm.” Shen Ping smiled.

Qiu Ying’s lips moved. What she wanted to say finally turned into one sentence. “I want Husband’s things to stay in my heart forever.”

The combat power of a Golden Core Realm cultivator was extraordinary. He fought for three days in a row. Shen Ping felt his legs go numb, and he did not even have the confidence to walk. However, he understood Qiu Ying’s enthusiasm.

After all, once one surpassed the advanced-stage of the Golden Core Realm, there wouldn’t be the slightest obstruction on the path before the Nascent Soul Realm. As long as one’s magic power was polished to perfection, then one could prepare for the Nascent Soul Realm.

If he succeeded in condensing his Nascent Soul, from then on, he could enjoy a thousand years of life. He walked out of the room. Just as he was about to go to the hall to ask his wife to make some nourishing beast bone soup, Pei Huoyu stood in front of him.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Senior Pei, what’s the matter?”

Pei Huoyu said hesitantly, “F-Fellow Daoist Shen, I’m afraid it’s a little difficult for you to break through to the B-rank core.”

Shen Ping was stunned. “What do you mean, Senior Pei?”

“A genius in the Dao of Talismans has appeared in the new special assessment of the headquarters. He can be said to be a monster. Our Mountain Fire Hall’s Hall Master has personally appeared and has successfully taken him in as a disciple. Next, the hall has decided to help him break through to the Class A core!”

Pei Huoyu lowered his voice. “There are very few Class A core slots in the True Treasure Pavilion. However, as long as one can reach Class A and not die midway, they will at least reach the Divine Transformation Realm in the future. Moreover, they will not be ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators!

“Originally, with your talent in the Dao of Talismans, if you were to break through to the B-rank core, 1 could persuade the elders in the hall to use resources to support you. But now… it’s very difficult!”

Shen Ping could hear the guilt and unwillingness in Pei Huoyu’s voice. He shook his head and smiled. “It’s fine. Without the support of the Mountain Fire Hall, 1’11 look for something else.”

“Perfected Yun Ya has to leave too. Other than being good at the basics of the Talisman Beast Scripture, he also has a unique understanding of the Talisman Beast Scripture. The elders in the hall have already ordered him to return to the headquarters recently.”

Hearing this, the smile on Shen Ping’s face slowly disappeared. Perfected Yun Ya’s guidance over the past year had benefited him greatly. If he left, he would be stumped when he encountered any doubts regarding the remaining special spirit runes such as Hidden, Run, Thorn, Cocoon, Channel, Life..
