All his wives and concubines were gathered In the hall of a single courtyard the next day,

Compared to usual days, their faces were lightly covered in makeup, and their clothes were bright and gorgeous. All of them were delicate and graceful, charming and enchanting, or sweet and cold as they stood in front of Shen Ping.

He glanced around. It landed on the curves of the various dresses. It looked like a mountain peak from the side. The distance and height were different. Although he had long experienced the scenery of his wives and concubines and had measured their sizes, under this makeup, they looked different.

Yu Yan walked to Shen Ping’s side first. Her gauze-covered arm hugged the broad figure and she smiled. “Husband is usually energetic, but today is different. My sisters and 1 hope to have a good time with you when we reach Qingyang City.”

Wang Yun also walked over, her gentle eyes filled with anticipation. Shen Ping immediately understood what his wives and concubines meant. They were thinking about the past in Qingyang City. He naturally would not reject such a small request. In any case, the large flying ship of the True Treasure Pavilion was extremely fast. It would take at most half a day to arrive.

Yu Yan and Wang Yun kissed him on the cheek. He inclined his head slightly.

It was nine in the morning. The large flying ship that was temporarily deployed landed on the white jade square not far away from the Linhai Immortal City.

Boom.

They boarded the flying ship. The array formations carved on the edges quickly activated. Immediately after, layers of light wrapped around the flying ship and drove towards the sky.

Shen Ping and his wives and concubines stood in front of the railing and looked down at the scenery of the Northern Rock Marsh Region. Then, they walked to the attic room and closed their eyes to rest.

Level 1 of the trial in the core jade token space.

The environment of the dark rocky land was filled with oppression. Even Shen Ping, who had a powerful divine sense, could only sense a radius of hundreds of feet. When the defensive spiritual light flickered, strange rocks came alive one after another, and their surfaces covered in black moss revealed sinister and ugly faces.

Bang!

Almost instantly, a large number of jagged rocks surged from all directions and slammed into the defensive spiritual light. Layers of rune arrays rippled with energy fluctuations. The light continued to dim.

Shen Ping did not even raise his eyelids. He focused on the puppet parts in front of him. Each of the 36 basic scales seemed to contain the truth of the world. When they were embedded and combined, they could erupt with unimaginable power.

However, so far, he could only embed and combine two. Once he exceeded the three basic scale patterns, the puppet parts would automatically collapse. No matter how many times he tried, the outcome was the same. He was still not discouraged. Instead, he maintained great enthusiasm and interest.

Boom!

Before the jagged rocks drowned the defensive spiritual light, Shen Ping still could not embed three types of scales on the puppet parts. Looking at the jagged rocks that surged over from all directions, he sighed helplessly. It was really as difficult as ascending to the heavens to explore and study the patterns of the puppet strange beast.

He opened his eyes.

Shen Ping glanced at his wives and concubines who were resting with their eyes closed. He hesitated as he left the room and went to the room where Pei Huoyu was. The natural curves covered by light armor sat quietly on the futon. Even though she heard footsteps, she did not move at all.

It was not until she smelled the thick scent that was so close that Pei Huoyu’s red lips parted. “Fellow Daoist Shen, why are you here instead of accompanying your wife and concubines? Could it be that you want to help me control my mental state?”

She looked straight at Shen Ping. Although there were no ripples in her eyes, there was an extremely strong pressure.

Shen Ping had no doubt that if he explored the Great Dao now, it would definitely make her feel disgusted. Therefore, he shook his head and asked, “Perfected Pei, don’t misunderstand. 1 came to ask about the various skills that the ranking members on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Glory Ranking are good at.”

Pei Huoyu took a few more glances at Shen Ping. After confirming that he did not avoid her gaze, a hint of surprise appeared on her valiant face. However, she did not ask for the reason. Instead, she said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, please wait a moment.”

With that, she took out her identity jade token in front of Shen Ping and repeated Shen Ping’s words to Senior Brother Li Yin. After five minutes, Li Yin’s voice sounded from the jade token. “There are 25 members in the top 100 on the Glory Ranking who are good at Talisman Daoism, and 18 in Array Dao.”

The message ended.

Shen Ping could not help but mutter, “Nearly 70% of the members on the two lists are good at the four major skills of pill, talisman, weapon, and array. There are very few members who are good at beast taming, insect control, puppet, divination, and other skills. I heard from Senior Yun Ya that the scriptures derived from the Beast Scripture almost contain a hundred skills, but there are only dozens of types that can form an inheritance of experience in the True Treasure Pavilion.

“In that case, if 1 want to cultivate the path of puppets, I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult to find a good teacher like Senior Yun Ya.”

When Pei Huoyu heard that, her brows curved into crescents. “Fellow Daoist Shen, 1 know that other than the Dao of Talismans, you’re also very good at puppet techniques. However, you have to know that the energy of a cultivator is limited. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator only has a thousand years of lifespan. Although your lifespan will continue to increase as your cultivation realm increases, it’s best for you not to have the thought of cultivating puppets before advancing to the Divine Transformation realm.

“The further you go, the longer it takes to comprehend the various techniques derived from the Beast Scripture. Just the Talisman Beast Scripture alone is something that many core members of the Nascent Soul Realm who are good at Talisman Daoism can’t comprehend even after nearly a thousand years. You have outstanding talent, so you should be even more focused.

“Once you divert your attention to study the Puppet Scripture, it will definitely delay your progress in the Talisman Beast Scripture. Moreover, the further you go, the more difficult it will be for you..”
