However, Shen Ping was not an ordinary Beast Spirit genius after all. Although his cultivation was low, high-level Beast Spirit Treasures and Talisman Dao Mystique made his true combat strength comparable to a Divine Transformation Beast Spirit genius. Therefore, even if he encountered a second-grade Beast Spirit genius like Yin Ting on the second level of the underground palace, he could still protect himself.

During this period, he also followed his master every day to practice the Beast

Form Scroll of the Beast Puppet Scripture.

When he was in the five continents and four seas, he had already comprehended the Puppet Beast Pattern of the Puppet Beast Scripture. With the Life Divine Puppet, his speed of comprehending the subsequent steps was not slow at all. In just a few months, he had completely grasped the Large Success Intent of the Puppet Beast Pattern.

“Patterned scales, a strange beast’s horn, claws, and tail… These are the four levels of comprehending various derivative beast scriptures. After that, it’s the complete beast form. Disciple, you have the foundation of the Talisman Beast Diagram. It’s normal for you to comprehend faster!” Lian Xuejin praised him.

Shen Ping replied humbly, “This is all thanks to Master’s guidance.”

Lian Xuejin was indeed the Head Hall Master of the True Treasure Pavilion. The teaching of the derivative skills of the Beast Scripture could often hit the nail on the head. As long as Shen Ping encountered a slight bottleneck, she could accurately derive the key points.

“Disciple, you’ve been in the Strange Beast Gate’s underground palace for a long time this time. It’s been half a year. From the harvest, it’s far inferior to being in the Heaven Ascension Hall. In that case, why don’t you return first and comprehend the Puppet Beast Scripture in peace? When you completely master the Beast Form Scroll of the Puppet Beast Scripture, you can enter the Strange Beast Gate again!” Lian Xuejin suggested.

Shen Ping readily agreed. In the past half a year, he had traded with Yin Ting two or three times in succession and obtained a batch of precious strange beast materials and immortal spirit stones. Moreover, Yin Ting had introduced her to a good friend. She was a second-grade beast spirit genius of the Spirit Race. Her appearance had the natural beauty of an elf from his previous life. Unfortunately, she did not have the ten special physiques.

“In twenty years, the Heaven Ascension Hall on the second level of the underground palace will open. I believe you will definitely be able to master it during this period of time!”

Gray Stone City, in the quiet room in the backyard of the An family’s residence. As the strange fluctuation spread, Shen Ping slowly appeared and stepped out of the array. An Yue, who was guarding outside, immediately went forward. She was wearing a maidservant’s beautiful jade dress and bowed. “Master.” Listening to the voice, Shen Ping was not used to it. He waved his hand and said, “Just call me Pavilion Master in the future.”

“Yes, Pavilion Master.”

“How’s the situation in Gray Stone City and the True Treasure Pavilion recently?” He sat down, took a sip of the tea An Yue handed him and asked.

“Pavilion Master, in the past half a year, the pavilion has developed quite quickly. It has already established cooperation with some of the caravans in Sword Seal City. There are more than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators from many humans and other races in the city. They have all bought the VIP wooden tokens in the pavilion. In addition, the auction that was previously scheduled has been held as scheduled. Shi Hu also participated. I think it’s because of our Spirit Race identity that he didn’t make things difficult for us.

“As for my An family’s caravan, although they paid 20% more for passing through Frost Wolf Swamp, it’s much safer to come and go.’

Shen Ping nodded. Originally, he had wanted to resolve the problem of the trade path in the Frost Wolf Swamp after coming out of seclusion this time. Now, it seemed that the Stone Tiger Clan was not messing around. Instead, they had stabilized the safety of the trade path.

At night, An Yue served a table full of delicacies. Beside him, Jing Huilan smiled and said, “Husband, Sister An’s culinary skills have improved very quickly these past few days. You have to taste it well.”

Shen Ping picked up a piece of meat roll and chewed it carefully. His eyes lit up. -Not bad. It’s indeed delicious. Yue’er, I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

An Yue looked happy. “It’s no trouble.”

After the meal, Shen Ping hugged Jing Huilan’s slender waist and said with a smile, “Let me try Lan’er’s meat roll tonight and see if it’s still the same as before.”

Jing Huilan lowered her head. A layer of redness appeared on her earlobe. Soon, the pink muslin curtains were layered with shadows. The rooster crows at dawn. The sky was still gray and there was no morning light.

Shen Ping woke up early. He began a day of cultivation. First, he meditated for an hour. Then, he went to the cubicle to study the Puppet Beast Scripture for six hours. Then, he revised the Talisman Beast Scripture for an hour. Then, he spent four hours making talismans. At the same time, he occasionally took a walk to mediate his mental state. After dinner, he continued to comprehend the Puppet Scripture for the rest of the time.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed!

On New Year’s Day in the Wei Kingdom, through the resplendent crystal, Shen Ping enjoyed the delicacies of the Wei Kingdom with his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. On this day, he had already passed the age of 85.

To a Nascent Soul cultivator, this age was like a child born. In Shen Ping’s eyes, he was already old. But he was not in the mood to sigh. Instead, he arrived at the mountain range far away from Gray Stone City.

“Disciple, are you ready?” Lian Xuejin’s gentle voice sounded inside the resplendent crystal.

Shen Ping nodded solemnly. In the past ten years, he had long mastered the beast form of the Puppet Beast Scripture. However, because he was not in the five continents and four seas, he lacked the basic scales and other parts to make puppets. As a result, he could only make them himself for the rest of the time.

Now, he has finally finished making all the basic parts.

Swish, swish, swish. He threw out hundreds of array flags and hid the array disc at the same time, forming an isolation and concealment array. The power of the complete puppet beast form was definitely extraordinary. If it was in the city, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Phew.

Ha.

He took a dozen deep breaths, and adjusted his state. Shen Ping took out 36 basic components and began to make the puppet beast form. The different combinations of each basic component would form different scale patterns. In addition, there were also differences in the horns, hooves, and whip tails. There were tens of thousands of combinations hidden in them. Any mistake would lead to failure.

And once he failed, the entire component would be destroyed.

In the five continents and four seas, he could use the Nine Continents Tower to complete it virtually. But here, he only had one chance. If he failed, he had to make new parts. That would take years and a large number of precious materials.

Time passed slowly. Half a month later, even with Shen Ping’s powerful divine sense, he felt exhausted at this moment. However, the entire puppet had already entered the last part of the whip tail.

This was also the most complicated part of the combination. Moreover, when combining it, he had to fuse his sharp conception of the whip’s tail. It was the most difficult part.

Shen Ping was fully focused and did not dare to be distracted at all. Another three days passed. Hard work paid off. The whip tail was finally completed. “It succeeded!”

Looking at the lifelike appearance of the strange beast puppet beast, even if it only looked like a shape frame, it seemed to have a trace of the true charm of a strange beast.

Boom! Suddenly, thunderclouds surged in the sky. Before Shen Ping could react, thick purple lightning pillars descended from the sky and struck the puppet beast form.

“Lightning tribulation! It actually produces a lightning tribulation!” Shen Ping was shocked and hurriedly retreated. The destructive purple lightning pillar seemed to want to destroy the puppet and kept falling. The entire process lasted for an hour, and the lightning tribulation in the sky slowly dissipated.

The strange beast puppet’s scales on its surface flickered with purple lightning, and its eyes were no longer as empty as before. They became lively.

Shen Ping sized him up and told his master about this unforeseen event. “Disciple, that’s a good thing. Usually, only immortal-level puppets have basic consciousness and can communicate with cultivators. However, your strange beast puppet should have a trace of consciousness instinct at the moment. It’s originally at the fifth level, but now, it’s probably not inferior to a high-grade sixth-grade puppet. Use a top-grade spirit stone to activate it first and see how much it consumes and its power!” Lian Xuejin was far more knowledgeable than Shen Ping. There was a hint of a smile in her tone.

Shen Ping immediately followed his master’s instructions and embedded top-grade spirit stones into the puppet’s core. Then, he activated its attack. Roar! This puppet beast pounced forward like a giant beast between the heavens and the earth. Its movements were swift and violent, and when its hooves and claws tore apart, they could even cause space to faintly tremble. Even a mountain peak not far away was easily destroyed by it.

In just a few breaths, the top-grade spirit stone was completely destroyed. Therefore, he took out the immortal spirit stone and embedded it. Its power was even stronger, and it lasted for ten minutes.

“Master is right.. This strange beast puppet beast’s form is at the fifth level, other than precious materials, the rest are all fifth level materials, but its power has already exceeded the sixth level!”
