“Only by walking firmly and steadily can we stand in the long term.”

It was as if he was teaching earnestly. This was the first time Perfected Yu said this. Clearly, he treated Shen Ping as his personal disciple.

“Yes, I will definitely remember it.”

After nearly 20 years of hard cultivation, coupled with his information and experience in his previous life, Shen Ping knew very well that Perfected Yu’s words made a lot of sense. Although he was currently in the limelight and was valued by many powerful seniors, even had the care of the head hall, in this cruel cultivation world, he knew very well that all of this was just external. If he was not careful, he would make a mistake and be consigned to eternal damnation.

“Let’s go into the hall first.”

The two of them arrived at the hall. Perfected Yu sat cross-legged in front of the jade table and asked, “It’s been quite some time since I taught you the fourth volume of the beast form. How’s the progress?”

Shen Ping composed himself and hurriedly said in confusion, “Senior, I can already outline an ordinary Talisman Beast Diagram. As for the copying of the charm, it hasn’t been smooth. The sharp concept of the strange beast whip tail is difficult to understand.”

These words surprised Perfected Yu. In his opinion, with Shen Ping’s talent in comprehension and the foundation of the third volume of the strange beast hoof diagram, it should not be difficult for him to comprehend the fourth volume. At most, he would need half a month to comprehend a trace of the final state.

“Draw something out first.” As he spoke, a special talisman paper appeared on the jade table.

Shen Ping immediately picked up the talisman brush and began to draw. Just like before, before 30% of the whip’s final form was outlined, the entire talisman paper burned.

“Continue.”

Another talisman.

It was a failure. He failed nearly ten times in a row. It was almost evening. Perfected Yu waved his sleeve to stop Shen Ping from drawing. He revealed a strange expression and said, “Talisman Master Shen, your fourth volume is still a self-created spirit rune. This difficulty is extremely high. Even the top ten skill members on the Glory Ranking can’t do it. Furthermore, the spirit runes you focus on are like hidden runes. There’s no problem with Rush Runes. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t have failed.”

Shen Ping said helplessly, “1 think so too. But, every time I outline this, I feel that something is wrong. I keep feeling that something is wrong, but it’s difficult to understand if I think alone.”

After hearing this, Perfected Yu fell into deep thought. He could clearly create his own spirit rune. In fact, when he looked at the outline, the derived spirit rune was like a real strange beast. It was even more perfect than what he had outlined.

This situation was actually unsuccessful. It was really puzzling. A long time passed. He raised his head and asked carefully, “Talisman Master Shen, tell me the exact situation of you studying the first three volumes of the Talisman Beast Scripture.”

Shen Ping roughly recounted. He didn’t even hide the Green Talisman Handbook, but it was naturally impossible to tell him about the strange beast in his sea of consciousness.

“Green Talisman Handbook. Mountain Fire Hall really values you.” Perfected Yu sighed with emotion. Then, he said to himself, “After you comprehended the first two volumes and created your own spirit runes, there was no sense of difficulty in cultivating them. However, you encountered them consecutively in the third and fourth volumes. The difficulty of the final beast form of these two volumes is mainly because you have to integrate your comprehension of its concept into the outline of the Talisman Beast Diagram. It’s different from every skill genius who comprehended the final beast form. Usually, as long as you have studied some related spells…”

Shen Ping was stunned when he heard this. He hurriedly said, “Senior Yu, you-you mean that I need to study spells to comprehend the fourth volume’s whip tail concept?”

“Yes.” Perfected Yu casually said, “Every cultivator has to master spells.”

Shen Ping smiled bitterly. He finally understood what the problem was. So it was a spell!

Seeing Shen Ping’s expression, Perfected Yu’s mouth twitched, and his expression became even stranger. “Talisman Master Shen, don’t tell me you’ve never cultivated a spell before?”

Shen Ping could only admit, “I cultivated some low-level spells in the early stages of Qi Refinement.”

Perfected Yu was completely speechless. Even cultivators who were immersed in various skills would take some time to practice spells in case of emergencies. This was because this was a Dao Protection Technique. No one could guarantee their safety forever.

However, he did not expect Shen Ping to not have cultivated any spells. No wonder he could not find the reason. Even Hall Master Shan Huo would find it difficult to notice.

“Senior Yu, may I ask how to resolve this problem quickly?” He knew the problem. However, Shen Ping could not help but feel a little troubled. He first humbly asked, then added, “I’m really not interested in cultivating and studying spells at all, and I’ve never been good at it!”

His words were sincere. So far, the virtual interface had no experience in spells. If he learned from the beginning, putting aside the time it took, he knew that he was not cut out for it. The past twenty years in Cloud Mountain Parlour had already confirmed this.

“The fastest solution is to comprehend it in battle. Before the trial space appeared, each hall had a hall that specialized in practicing techniques and spells. After the core jade token was changed, skill geniuses could undergo trial assessments to temper themselves, and these halls became the exclusive place for battle cultivators who were good at spells.”

As soon as Perfected Yu finished speaking, Shen Ping shook his head repeatedly and frowned. “Senior Yu, I really don’t like killing.” If he could temper himself in the trial space, he would agree without hesitation. Flowever, in the hall, even if there was a guarantee, he would not try..
