There was a hint of flirtatiousness in her eyes. There seemed to be a divine sense fluctuation. It was obvious that she had used a charming cultivation technique. If ordinary cultivators encountered it, their minds would be controlled in an instant and they would become puppets.

However, the deacon narrowed his eyes and calmly resolved the charm in it. Then, he said indifferently, “Fellow Daoist Lin, you’re being too serious. Looking at Fellow Daoist’s cultivation, you’re already at the Nascent Soul realm. You can just call me Fellow Daoist Xu. You don’t deserve the title of Lord.”

Lin Shiyu said leisurely, “In that case, I’ll call you Fellow Daoist Xu in the future. Fellow Daoist Xu is indeed the deacon of the Dan Hai Hall. Your strength is extraordinary. Please forgive me for offending you just now.” Although there was a hazy veil between them, there was still a charm in her beautiful and bright eyes. It was uncontrollable.

Perfected Xu looked straight ahead. However, he could not help but frown in his heart. This Moon Lotus Holy Sect was indeed as bold as the rumors said. They actually probed so directly in someone else’s territory. They really lacked etiquette. “Fellow Daoist Lin, just be careful in the future.”

When they were about to reach the guest room, Qu Wan, who had yet to speak, suddenly asked, “Perfected Xu, 1 heard that a monstrous Talisman Dao genius has recently appeared in the True Treasure Pavilion. I wonder if that’s true?”

Hearing this, Perfected Xu’s expression did not change, but he was already on guard. He replied casually, “The rumors in the outside world are not trustworthy. Moreover, our True Treasure Pavilion has countless extraordinary talents, and there’s more than one genius in the Dao of Talismans.”

“Is that so? Qu Wan smiled and did not say anything else.

Perfected Xu was also happy to do so. He lowered his head and led the way. They arrived at a secluded courtyard in the guest hall. Perfected Xu cupped his hands and said, “Everyone, this is the resting place we specially arranged for you. There are no restrictions, so you can live in peace. I’ll take my leave first. There are cultivators in charge of living in the courtyard. If you need anything, just tell me.” With that, he turned around and left.

Qu Wan glanced at Perfected Xu’s back and said indifferently, “Let’s go in.”

They arrived at the hall. Her divine sense spread out and enveloped her surroundings. After confirming that there were no array formation restrictions, she raised her hand and condensed a light barrier that enveloped all the Moon Lotus Sect disciples. Then, she bowed to one of the disciples. “Greetings, Holy Maiden.”

The other disciples all bowed.

“This is the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion, not the sect. There’s no need to be so polite!” A cold voice sounded. Holy Maiden Yuelian slowly walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down. Her eyes swept over and she said softly, “Elder Qu, what’s your impression of the Dan Hai Hall?”

Taking off her veil, Qu Wan’s face was dignified and charming. She thought for a moment and replied, “This Dan Hai Hall looks sincere, but it’s actually on guard everywhere. Although the courtyard we’re in is quiet, if we pay attention, we’ll discover that this place is between a few halls. I’m afraid our every move can’t escape the other party’s eyes and ears.

“There are indeed no array formations and restrictions, but the other party probably wants us to lose our vigilance and find out our Moon Lotus Holy Sect’s goal.”

Holy Maiden Yuelian nodded slightly, “Our Moon Lotus Holy Sect has never adhered to the rules of the secular world. There are even many people who call us the evil sect. It’s normal for them to be wary of us. However, we’re only here for one person. We don’t have the intention to cause trouble, so it doesn’t matter how wary the Dan Hai Hall is of us. What we need to consider now is how to come into contact with that person. If we are too direct, it will inevitably attract attention.”

Qu Wan pondered and said, “Holy Maiden, don’t worry. We will stay in the True Treasure Pavilion for a long time on this trip. We will find an opportunity sooner or later.”

“That’s all we can do now!” The Holy Maiden nodded slightly.

Fire Spirit Hall.

Shen Ping had no time to care about the outside world. He spent most of his time in the jade token trial space sketching the tail of the strange beast. With more than 2,000 spirit runes, even if he had the Talisman Scripture and strange beasts to copy and refer to, he had to spend a lot of time to create an ordinary Talisman Beast Diagram.

It was much slower than the first three volumes. As for the final beast form of the whip tail, it was even harder to comprehend.

In the training space.

Psst.

As the special talisman burned, Shen Ping frowned slightly. Failure was already a common occurrence. However, the fourth volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture was indeed a little difficult. “Whip Tail… How should I comprehend the sharp concept that Perfected Yu mentioned?” He was deep in thought.

The third volume was the Hoof and Claw Talisman Diagram. After some pointers, he easily comprehended the feeling of power eruption. But for the Whip Tail Diagram, he was unable to sense it for a long time. Every time he copied the talisman scripture, he would fail before he even had half of the scales on the tail.

“What’s the problem?” While he was thinking, the defensive spiritual light rune array collapsed. A large number of swamp beasts drowned Shen Ping. His consciousness returned.

Shen Ping sat cross-legged on a cushion in the quiet room, still frowning. Perfected Yu had said that the difficulty of the fourth volume wasn’t high. It would only be difficult for a while if the number of spirit runes derived was more complicated. However, as long as one was familiar with it and had the foundation of the hoof and claws, even a B-rank core skill genius might be able to comprehend a trace of the final form of the beast form.

However, he had been delayed by this scroll until now.

“Looks like I still have to ask Perfected Yu!” No matter how hard he thought, he could not find a solution. Shen Ping could only suppress the doubts in his heart. This was the advantage of having a senior to guide him. If he cultivated diligently and encountered such a situation, he would be trapped for a long time. He might not even be able to figure it out until his lifespan ended.

This was the case when he cultivated and studied talismans in Cloud Mountain Parlour. Without enough spirit stones, it was very difficult to often go to the Talisman Hall to cultivate and seek guidance. As a result, he was only a low-level Talisman Master after immersing himself in the Talisman Dao for nearly twenty years.

Now, there was Perfected Yu. If he couldn’t figure it out, he could ask for advice.

A moment later, he came out of the main quiet room. The huge Fire Spirit Hall was very quiet. At this time, almost all the girls were cultivating. Shen Ping was already used to it. On the other hand, the environment of the entire hall had changed greatly. It was an exquisite ornament with exquisite carvings.

In particular, there were many spiritual plants and strange flowers in the front and backyard, adding a lot of vitality to the originally cold Fire Spirit Hall. Wang Yun and Bai Yuying contributed greatly to all of this.

Ever since they had the pass, the two women often took a large flying ship to the Treasure Immortal City of the Zhongsheng Continent together. Every time they returned, there would always be more changes to the Fire Spirit Hall.

Shen Ping naturally wouldn’t say anything. He was also glad that his wife and concubine were happy. He stepped out of the Fire Spirit Hall. Before he left the range of the Mountain Fire Hall along the long corridor, he met Wang Yuanming on the way. Seeing his anxious expression, he couldn’t help but cup his hands and shout curiously, “Deacon Wang.”

Wang Yuanming looked displeased. He turned around and saw that it was Shen Ping. A smile immediately appeared on his face. “It’s Talisman Master Shen.” “Deacon Wang, what happened in the hall?”

“Almost all the halls have disciples from the Moon Lotus Holy Sect visiting today, and our Mountain Fire Hall is no exception. 1 originally thought that they would come to our Mountain Fire Hall to exchange talisman techniques, but who knew that there would be several battle cultivators who are good at spells inside? Not long after they came to the hall, they proposed to exchange Spell Thaumaturgy with the members of our Mountain Fire Hall.”

Wang Yuanming said helplessly, “Talisman Master Shen, you should know that although our Mountain Fire Hall has battle cultivators, our main cultivation is in the Dao of Talismans, and most of our combat cultivators are also in the Dao of Talismans. Therefore, I’m afraid…”

He didn’t finish. However, Shen Ping understood what Deacon Wang meant. After all, the most important thing in the exchange between the two sects was not the level of skills and spells, but their reputation.

If the Mountain Fire Hall lost badly, they would inevitably be mocked if word got out. Therefore, the selection of battle cultivators was the key.

“Talisman Master Shen, the exchange of spells in the hall is about to begin. Should we go and watch it together? Perfected Pei will also participate this time.”

Shen Ping could not help but be interested. However, in the end, he shook his head and smiled. “I won’t go. I’ve never been interested in such magical techniques..”
