Shen Ping carefully sensed the meridians in Ling Yu’er’s body and said in all seriousness, “Miss Ling’s meridians are too narrow. If you don’t unblock and expand them, I’m afraid you’ll reach your limit at Rank 5. Now, I’ll help you unblock them. The process might be a little painful, so you have to endure it.”

Ling Yu’er nodded her head. Soon, waves of pain spread out. She bit the corner of her lips tightly and did not say a word. However, in the end, it was really difficult for her to resist.

Twenty minutes later, Ling Yu’er said feebly, “Lord Shen is indeed a general.

You’re too strong. I can’t take it.”

Shen Ping was helpless. Although her youthful body was indeed very pleasant, she was like a bright flower that could not withstand too much wind and rain. If he continued to forcefully guide her, it was very easy for her meridians to break. “That’s all for today. I’ll give you pointers when you’ve recovered.

He handed the Earth Blood Lotus to Ling Yu’er. “Don’t be greedy. One lotus leaf can last for two months. This Earth Blood Lotus is enough for you to advance to the intermediate stage of Rank 3. When you become my true direct faction, I’ll teach you a special cultivation method. In addition, I’m only one step away from the Star Rank. You have to work hard.”

Ling Yu’er’s face lit up. “Lord Shen, I will definitely work hard.”

“Stay in the room and recuperate for the next few days. Don’t let anyone see through you.”

“Yes.”

He watched as she staggered away. Shen Ping quickly opened the virtual frame in his eyes. Indeed, new attributes appeared on the additional ordinary virtual frame.

[Flame Beast Body Talent: Devour]

Other than the talent brought about by the ten special physiques, there was also the power of the wood- element bloodline. However, Shen Ping did not care much about this. He looked at the virtual frame.

The information about devour quickly surged in. This talent was similar to being able to refine and absorb everything, transforming it into a part of one’s body. Of course, there was actually a limit to its ability.

He looked at the Blood Spirit Ginseng beside him. He tried to directly activate the Devour talent. His body seemed to have turned into a furnace. The Blood Spirit Ginseng was quickly absorbed and refined, becoming a part of his blood. Shen Ping closed his eyes and felt it. The effect of the Blood Spirit Ginseng was actually absorbed by his body in an extremely short period of time under the effect of the Devour talent. The power of his bloodline quickly increased. His lightning-element bloodline did not increase by much, but the new wood­element directly broke through to the second rank.

He carefully checked every part of his body. Seeing that there were no hidden dangers, he opened his eyes. “As expected of a rare beast talent. It’s really magical!”

Any mystical object in the cultivation world that could increase one’s strength in a short period of time had side effects. However, this Devour talent did not have any hidden dangers. Besides absorbing it himself, it could also refine the devoured thing into pure energy for others to absorb.

It was much stronger than medicinal pills. For example, with his current wood­element bloodline, if he did not use the Devour talent, it would take at least a year or two to digest the Blood Spirit Ginseng slowly. Therefore, this talent changed Shen Ping’s subsequent plans.

“If everything in the world can be devoured and refined, what about the power of the stars?”

Shen Ping did as he thought. He immediately sat cross-legged and activated the Lifeline Star Technique. The star power sprinkled by the stars was quickly absorbed. Under the Devour Talent state, the star power within a radius of thousands of feet was absorbed like a whale.

The bloodline power node in his body had increased by 10% in just a short while. When the talent’s duration ended, he couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy. Using talent to cultivate was simply astonishingly fast. “Every one of the ten special physiques is extraordinary!”

The next day, Lian Nishang dragged Shen Ping to the county to shop again. However, just as they left, the girl stared at Shen Ping suspiciously. “Brother Shen, why do you smell like a girl?”

Shen Ping’s heart skipped a beat. He had washed himself thoroughly last night. Furthermore, he hadn’t been too open with his guidance. “How can there be no fragrance when 1¹ m with you every day?

Lian Nishang blushed. “B-But I don’t remember using this spice.” “You must have remembered wrongly. Don’t forget that I was the one who concocted the spices for you. Alright, there’s a temple fair in the county today. It’s very lively. Don’t be late.”

The news of getting rid of the white ape had long been spread. This temple fair was also held by the people of the county to celebrate.

“Hehe, that’s true. Brother Shen, I still want to eat candied hawthorn today.

Buy it for me.”

“Alright, be careful of cavities.”

“Nishang isn’t afraid.”

They stayed in Ju County for ten days. After the Demon Suppression Division had completely dealt with the remaining Rank 3 demons, Shen Ping and the, others returned to Laiyang Prefecture. On the night before they left, Ling Yu er received Shen Ping’s guidance again. Then, she swallowed a pure energy blood bead refined from his devour talent.

Her strength had actually increased to the mid-stage of Rank 3. This made Ling Yu’er even more convinced that her decision was correct.

“If I can often eat the Energy Blood Beads given by Lord Shen, I will definitely be able to break through to Rank 4 very quickly and become a lieutenant!” When she was riding the horse, she looked at Shen Ping in front of her, and her eyes lit up. However, when she saw Lian Nishang, this light turned into envy and jealousy.

General Hong of the prefectural city had long received the news from Lieutenant Lu of Ju County.

Originally, he thought that Shen Ping had just broken through to Rank 5 and his strength was average. It would take a lot of time to deal with a level four white ape. He did not expect the other party to deal with it in just one night. His strength was not inferior to his.

No wonder he did not join any faction.

“Lord Shen is young and promising. He will definitely become a pillar of the dynasty in the future.” General Hong praised.

The other two generals also said nice things. Facing a soft persimmon, they could control it. However, it was better to coax a promising general like Shen Ping. After returning to the Demon Suppression Division, he handed over the mission.

General Hong specially asked Shen Ping to stay. “Lord Shen, the various states of the dynasty have not been peaceful recently. With Lord Shen’s potential, if you can be nurtured better, you will definitely be able to step into the Star Rank.”

Facing another attempt to rope him in, Shen Ping only said that he would seriously consider it. This gave General Hong a headache. It was not easy for him to meet such a promising junior. If he could pull him into his faction, the higher-ups would definitely reward him. “This kid is stubborn. What does he like?”

Accommodating them was the most effective way to rope them in. Since they could not be moved by resources, they could only start from other aspects.

At night, in the residence of the Demon Suppression Department, Shen Ping sat on the edge of the bed with a shy and lovely girl squatting in front of him. “Yu’er, you must remember that the circulation of the bloodline must be combined with the acupuncture points of the body. Everyone’s acupuncture points are different. You have to find the strengths that suit you. Only then can you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Ling Yu’er nodded her head vigorously. After cultivating, she said hesitantly, “Lord Shen, it’s inconvenient to stay in the dormitory. Can you arrange a courtyard?”

Shen Ping shookhishead. “It’s easy to arrange a courtyard, but it’s too eye­catching to arrange it for you alone. Unless you can make contributions, only then will it be logical. When we eliminate the demons next time, 1¹11 let you go. “This is a blood talisman. It’s similar to a divine wooden token. It can instantly activate the ability inside. With it, it won’t be difficult for you to kill a Rank 4 demon.” After all, he had obtained many things from Ling Yu’er, so he had to give her some good things.

Ling Yu’er beamed with joy and hooked her arms around Shen Ping’s neck affectionately. “Thank you, Lord Shen.”

After he gave a few pointers in a row, the girl stopped being coy in front of him. “If your parents need any help, just let me know.” Shen Ping said casually. Ling Yu’er was delighted and quickly said, “It’s mainly business. My parents deal in demonic materials. The competition in the county is intense, so can you help in this aspect?”

Shen Ping nodded. “Alright, no problem. In the future, other than handing over the demon materials to the Demon Suppression Division, your parents will manage the rest.”

Ling Yu’er was overjoyed as she sat on Shen Ping. “Lord Shen, I still want some pointers.”

Facing such a hardworking girl, Shen Ping was generous with his support. Soon, laughter came from a room in the dormitory. However, before it could spread out of the wall, it was isolated by a bloodline power.
