Chapter 142: You Can’t Take It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Golden Sun Sect’s Main Peak. The sea of clouds rolled and spiritual mist lingered. There was a majestic palace standing in the area enveloped by the light.
At the entrance of the hall, the Golden Sun’s Sect Master looked at the jade-green pavilion on the left. The beautiful figure dancing in the sea of clouds under the moon appeared in front of him. That was the most beautiful side of Fairy Cai Yue. Unfortunately, ever since the rumors spread in the sect, he could not step into the pavilion.
“Cai Yue, all of this is for the Golden Sun Sect’s ten thousand years of foundation!” As he sighed, his brows suddenly twitched. Then, he took out a jade pendant engraved with the shape of a crocodile from his spirit ring. Blood-colored patterns that looked like meridians were spreading inside the jade pendant. The Golden Sun’s Sect Master’s eyes immediately revealed some excitement. “Divine Transformation Realm! My Golden Sun Sect is finally going to have a Divine Transformation cultivator!” He did not look at the Azure Pavilion again and turned around to return to the hall.
Dong!
Soon, the main peak resounded with a deafening bell.
Yue Kingdom.
In the gloomy Luosha Demonic Valley, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul elders shrouded in black robes gathered in the main hall. Every one of them had a strong smell of blood.
“Valley Master. In Cloud Mountain Parlour, the Golden Sun Sect’s ancestor did not even let off our Luosha Demon Valley’s Nascent Soul. Why are we continuing to ask a tiger for its skin this time?!”
“That’s right. The Golden Sun Sect can’t be trusted.”
“Our Luosha Demonic Valley does not resort to any means and has no bottom line to speak of. However, the Golden Sun Sect has no bottom line either. Ancestor Jinyang can do anything!”
Voices filled with dissatisfaction sounded. Luosha Valley Master raised his sleeve and pressed down. The hall immediately fell silent. “Ancestor Jinyang has already advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm. No matter what grudge we had before, there’s no need to mention it again.
“If our Luosha Demonic Valley wants to survive this time, we have to cooperate with the Golden Sun Sect again. As long as the twelve countries can swallow the three countries, it’s not impossible for everyone here to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. As for what happens to the Golden Sun Sect in the future, it all depends on their own methods.”
The voice in the hail reverberated. The eyes of all the Golden Core and Nascent Soul elders of the Luosha Demonic Valley burned. The cultivation world of the 12 countries had been peaceful for too long.
The calmer it was, the slower the cultivation speed of demonic cultivators was. Regardless of whether they were asking a tiger for its skin or not, their Luosha Demonic Valley wanted to muddy the waters of the twelve countries.
Wei Kingdom.
Qingyang City.
The dark clouds were like the sky. It was just past seven in the morning. The storm washed all the alleys in the city. The green stone slabs in the small courtyard were clear and bright. The spiritual fog in the air was much thinner. Boom.
Suddenly, waves of explosive aura faintly emitted from the quiet room. Shen Ping, who was admiring the rain, could not help but look happy when he sensed this commotion. A moment later, a figure walked out of the quiet room.
It was Yu Yan, who had been in seclusion for a long time. She was wearing a silver-patterned robe that tied her waist. There was a hint of uncontrollable joy on her lips, and there was a hint of natural charm at the corner of her eyes. “Congratulations on breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement! You won’t be far from Foundation Establishment in the future!” He looked at Yu Yan, who was walking towards him with her spiritual energy.
Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands. He walked into the hall. Yu Yan took a step forward, and the curve in front of her loose robe quickly flattened. After the hug, she sniffed greedily.
“Husband, I haven’t eaten the Snow Ganoderma Pill for dozens of days and nights. Now, immediately… I want to eat everything!” Her voice sounded. Two figures impatiently flashed to the room.
Shen Ping knew that Yu Yan was going to release the joy in her heart. After all, the next step after the ninth level of Qi Refinement was Foundation Establishment. As long as she built her foundation, she would be able to accompany him longer. More importantly, he could use more dual cultivation resources when the time came.
For example, the Emerald Treasure Liquid and the Dew Pill. As the two robes fell, the two of them were honest with each other.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. After dozens of days and nights, when they saw each other’s familiar figures, they actually felt a different kind of nervousness in their hearts.
“We had a deal. Five in total!”
“No, although you have broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, it’s still difficult for you to withstand it.” Shen Ping shook his head.
Although the Snow Ganoderma Pill was only a dual cultivation resource at the Qi Refinement realm, the medicinal effect of the pill was also very rapid. If one was not careful, it would destroy one’s Dao foundation at best, and at worst, it would make one unable to break free.
Pfft!
The first Snow Ganoderma Pill was pressed down. The Inner Charm Fire Body that had been droughting for a long time immediately erupted.
Although this physique had long been converted and absorbed by Yu Yan, it could not be suppressed. It had been empty for a long time. If it was not guided, it would be in danger of backlash.
However, this was no longer a problem for Shen Ping. After Foundation Establishment, there was also the blood of a strange beast that continuously increased his physique and magic power. He already had the strength to suppress the Inner Charm Fire Body.
Bam.
Before Yu Yan reacted, three consecutive Snow Ganoderma Pills collided like pinballs.
Hiss.
The powerful medicinal power made Yu Yan involuntarily gasp. Soon, the two of them exchanged Dao techniques. In just twenty minutes, they had already reached the edge of obliterating the Great Dao.
In the depths of the universe, the eye-shaped stars trembled and perished. The rain in the small courtyard gradually lessened.
Shen Ping walked out of the room and frowned. Qi Refinement Level-9 was still not enough. Even Yu Yan, who had the special physique of the Inner Charm Fire Body, could not last long. Although it was because of the medicinal power of the Snow Ganoderma Pill, he could feel the increase in the blood of the strange beast every once in a while.
Especially after cultivating the top Foundation Establishment cultivation technique, the increase was even more obvious. He stood at the entrance of the hall again. He recalled the last time he interacted with Yin Honglian in the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley.
Only those in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm could enjoy themselves. This was still without the use of other auxiliary resources. If he used the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment, the Emerald Treasure Liquid, and the Dew Pill, he was afraid that even mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would not be able to withstand it! He suppressed his distracting thoughts.
Shen Ping shook his head helplessly. Sometimes, it was also troublesome to be slightly stronger. Fortunately, if he took it slow, he could still be like a fish in water and continuously obtain the effect. However, he could not work day and night like before.
The rain stopped. He came to the talisman making room. He withdrew his thoughts. He calmed his mind and prayed. There were only talismans left in front of Shen Ping. He raised the talisman brush and sketched in one go.
Not long after, the Lightning Talisman was made.
It took a lot of time to make a second-level talisman during the Qi Refinement Realm, but after building his foundation, the efficiency of making such a low-grade second-level talisman would greatly increase. Moreover, as he studied the scripture and the Green Talisman Sutra for a longer time, it would be even easier to make a second-level talisman.
Even Level Two high-grade talismans were not too difficult now.
Occasionally, Shen Ping would think about this reason. Finally, he came to a conclusion. The biggest difference between the scripture and the Level Two talismans was in the spirit runes. It seemed that the spirit runes outlined in the scripture and the Green Talisman Sutra were of a higher level. He had a guess.
Shen Ping vaguely understood why it was difficult for him to make patterned talismans. The Life Divine Talisman condensed. His comprehension of the Dao of Talismans had soared. When he was reading the scriptures, he could easily see the final talisman diagram formed by the complicated and changing spiritual runes.
However, if he were to separate any of the spirit runes, he wouldn’t understand. He knew what was going on, but he didn’t know why.
Just like all kinds of puppet parts, Shen Ping could tell at a glance the puppet form formed by these puppet parts. However, if there was only one component, it would be difficult for him to distinguish the use of this component. This was because simple components combined with different components could form several puppets.
Another hour passed, Shen Ping tried to make the strange beast pattern talisman again but failed. He didn’t mind. Instead, excitement surged from the bottom of his heart. Just like when he was at Cloud Mountain Parlour, he would constantly cultivate the drive to make elementary talismans.
It was early in the night.
Luo Qing and Bai Yuying were already asleep in the bedroom. Shen Ping changed into a long robe and came to the quiet room. “Senior Pei. He called out softly. Pei Huoyu walked out. Shen Ping coughed dryly and said, “I’m going to the small courtyard next door.”
“That Perfected Qiu is a mid-stage Gold Core cultivator. Fellow Daoist Shen is only at the second level of the Foundation Establishment realm. The difference in your cultivation and strength is too great. Even if she tries her best to control the magic power of the Golden Core and have fun with you, you won’t be able to enjoy yourselves, just like you and your wife and concubines.” Pei Huoyu said calmly.
When Shen Ping heard this, he looked a little strange. “How did Senior Pei know that 1 and my wife and concubines…”
“I am not interested in Fellow Daoist Shen’s life. This is just a reminder.”
Shen Ping suddenly cupped his hands and said, “Senior Pei, I’m just going to taste wine.”
Pei Huoyu’s lips twitched. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you seem to be in a good mood at this time. Why don’t we taste it together?”
“This… if Senior Pei doesn’t mind. I’m willing to give it a try with two Perfecteds. 1 wonder how good Senior Pei’s alcohol tolerance is. If it’s too high, I’m afraid I won’t be able to withstand it.” Shen Ping replied almost instinctively. Then, his body froze on the spot, and his long breathing stopped abruptly. A mountain-like pressure surged over from all directions.
However, this pressure quickly disappeared.
Pei Huoyu’s voice sounded in his ear. “Looks like you can’t handle my alcohol tolerance..”
