Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was a figure in the hall. He was wearing a white robe. He was sitting quietly. Even though he wasn’t handso, he was warm and honest. Even though his figure and bearing weren’t refined, the more one looked at him, the more one would feel a sense of trust.
Yu Qingling couldn’t help but rub her eyes. That figure was still there! “It’s not an illusion.” She bit her lower lip and walked over, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.
Yu Qingling ca back to her senses when she sat on the jade chair. A look of disbelief appeared on her elegant and quiet face. The most difficult thing for a special-class guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion was the second assessnt. Many candidates stopped here. Those who could pass had reached an extrely deep level of attainnt in technique. Her talent in alchemy was outstanding. Her father and master, and many seniors were certain that she could pass.
That was the truth.
However, Yu Qingling never expected that there would actually be soone who was faster than her in the second test, and his cultivation was only at the Qi Refinent Realm.
“Ling’er, you must be the most outstanding!” Her father’s words echoed in her ears. She thought to herself, “Father, you’ve finally made a mistake.”
Just as Yu Qingling didn’t know if she should be happy or depressed, a gentle voice sounded. “Fellow Daoist. Pardon for asking, did anything happen to you after you passed the assessnt?” Shen Ping cupped his hands and asked.
Yu Qingling gasped. “M-?”
“It’s this pattern.” Shen Ping extended his arm. He felt that this girl with the sword mark had an extraordinary identity and might know sothing.
“Oh, this. All those who pass the second assessnt will have different patterns. I’m not sure what it’s used for, but it’s very important.” Yu Qingling said seriously.
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was still a little worried.
He probed again, “Fellow Daoist, can you let see your pattern?”
Yu Qingling was instantly embarrassed. However, when she saw the uneasiness in Shen Ping’s eyes, she understood. “Fellow Daoist, don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”
Shen Ping hesitated. “This… Alright.” He let out a long sigh.
When she saw this, Yu Qingling hesitated for a mont before biting her lip and stretching out a fair arm. “Fellow Daoist, mine is the pattern of a pill beast. You can rest assured now!” She shook it and quickly retracted it. Her earlobes turned red from embarrassnt.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist!” Shen Ping said imdiately.
The two of them did not speak again. The hall quickly fell silent. And this ti, they waited for a long ti before a third person passed.
Late-stage Foundation Establishnt.
When he walked towards the jade chair, he glanced at Shen Ping and Yu Qingling, and his eyes revealed shock.
He was not surprised at all that Yu Qingling could pass. However, that middle-aged Qi Refinent Talisman Master could actually pass? He was even earlier than Yu Qingling?
Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover!
Then, they waited until the fourth and fifth people appeared. The purple-robed cultivator arrived at the hall. This ti, there was a smile on his indifferent face. His voice beca gentle. “Congratulations to the five of you for passing the second assessnt as special-class guest elders. To be able to pass the second ti, you guys are extraordinary. The third assessnt will take place after a month of rest.”
Speaking of this, Li Yin, the purple-robed cultivator, paused for a mont and continued, “There’s no need to feel pressured. Not only is the third assessnt not difficult for you, but it will also be extrely beneficial, especially for the Qi Refinent Realm.”
His gaze landed on Shen Ping and Yu Qingling, and his smile grew wider. “The spiritual energy in your dantian is almost perfect. You should be able to advance to perfection in the next month of rest. After passing the third test, I think you’ll be Foundation Establishnt Cultivators!”
With that, his figure slowly disappeared.
However, the mont it disappeared, there was shock and joy in his heart. “I was in charge of this special-class guest elder assessnt on a whim, but two A-ranks were actually born at once. Such luck!
“However, the first place this year is actually not Fellow Daoist Yu’s daughter. A
Talisman Master… and from the Fla Toad Cave in the Southern Fla
Continent. What a surprise!”
The purple-robed cultivator left.
Shen Ping, Yu Qingling, and the other three participants followed the young cultivator from before to walk along the passageway to the end. This ti, they were still resting in the quiet room, but the situation was different.
In the quiet room, other than the futon, there was also a jade table. There was a jade bottle on the jade table.
“One drop of Spirit Marrow. It has already been specially diluted. Cultivators in the Qi Refinent Realm could use it.”
When he saw the words, Shen Ping trembled slightly. He had seen the Spirit Marrow as the finale item at the True Treasure Pavilion’s auction. At that ti, the competition was the Golden Core Realm cultivators, and the bidding was very intense.
And now, such a rare supplentary cultivation resource was placed in front of him. No wonder the purple-robed cultivator was so sure that he could reach the perfected Qi Refinent realm in a month.
With the help of the Spirit Marrow, even if he was a cultivator who had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinent, he could reach perfection in a short period of ti.
“True Treasure Pavilion. A special-class guest elder.” Shen Ping stood there for a long ti. He could not help but think of Deacon Xia’s desire.
At this mont, he already understood how important the special-class guest elder was.
Wei Kingdom.
Qingyang City.
At the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion.
In the room in the backyard, Deacon Xia drank the spirit wine alone. He looked into the void, his eyes hazy with drunkenness. “I wonder if that guest elder Shen stopped at the first or the second assessnt. It’s difficult to be a special-class guest elder.
“The 12 countries are just a small place after all. Even if there are opportunities, I’m afraid it will be difficult for Qi Refinent cultivators to achieve anything. What a pity! There’s still ti. I can still wait!”
In the private room on the second floor, Shopkeeper Qu leisurely drank his spiritual tea. To him, it was already a surprise that Shen Ping could pass the qualification assessnt. It was only a matter of ti before he advanced to second grade, even the first grade, after he established his foundation.
“Without Old Ding’s help, I can’t get to know Guest Elder Shen either. I have to take the ti to go to the Cloud Mountain Swamp later.” After drinking the spirit tea, he slowly went downstairs, but a thought suddenly appeared in his heart. “What if he passes the assessnt and becos a special-class guest elder?”
Shopkeeper Qu shook his head and laughed. He was possessed. However, when he reached the counter, he made a decision. He had to get his dao companion to go to the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley later and send sothing to Guest Elder Shen’s wife and concubines.
In the quiet room, the aura of Shen Ping, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat, kept rising and finally stabilized. As the cultivation technique stopped, he opened his eyes and used his divine sense to sense the spiritual energy in his dantian.
A smile appeared on his face. As expected of a rare spirit marrow. Just a drop of it, and one that was specially diluted, allowed the spiritual energy in his ridians and dantian to reach the limit.
And it only took half a month.
The effect was far beyond his expectations.
“This is cultivation!” Shen Ping stood up and sighed. Recalling his bitter cultivation in Cloud Mountain Parlour, he imdiately felt that the hardships had co to an end. “Don’t be smug. Don’t be unrestrained. You have to cherish the opportunity.”
He comprehended everyday. His footsteps beca heavy and steady. No matter how good the situation was now, he rembered that he was only a Qi Refinent cultivator. Even if he broke through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, he was still at the bottom of the cultivation world.
He paced back and forth in the quiet room for several hours. Shen Ping finally cald down. Then, he sat down again and waited patiently for the third assessnt. In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed quietly.
On this day, the indifferent voice sounded again. “The third assessnt begins.” The quiet room changed like before. The bronze house appeared again. What followed was a flash of light. “Third-grade guest elder, Shen Ping. Please…”
Shen Ping did not expect that the third ti, he would still use talismans to shatter the bronze disc. The difference was that this ti, the bronze disc seed to give him a more realistic feeling. Moreover, the strange beast pattern was not carved at all. Instead, it looked like a living creature.
This ti, he did not hesitate. The 50 Golden Light Talismans condensed into a Sea of Talismans that slamd into the disc.
Bang!
The bronze disc did not shatter as expected. However, the surface was soaked in blood, accompanied by an ear-piercing sound. Just as it ca out of the disc, it was suppressed by the strange light in the bronze house.
Drops of blood floated in the air.
Soon, Shen Ping’s arm was burning. The floating blood was instantly sucked over by the strange beast pattern on his arm. This blood covered the pattern with a layer of blood. The blood-colored light flickered flirtatiously before disappearing.
Boom!
Shen Ping’s eyes widened. He felt a very strange energy surge in the depths of his soul. This energy instantly spread throughout his entire body and seeped into his dantian, ridians, bones, and blood. The spiritual energy in his ridians that had reached the limit instantly burned.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The spiritual energy in his dantian boiled. Shen Ping’s skin turned red and his entire body beca hot. The top-grade tal and wood spiritual roots were crazily absorbing the strange energy emitted by the strange beast’s blood and transforming it into the ridians in his dantian.
He recalled what the purple-robed cultivator had said.
He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and did not even have the ti to consu the Foundation Establishnt Pill. He circulated his cultivation technique and the powerful divine sense of the Niwan Palace seeped down, preparing to compress his spiritual energy and break through to the Foundation Establishnt Realm in one go..
