Chapter 248: I’m Just A Little Fast

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A few days later at the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion.

Shen Ping bowed to the sword envoy in the backyard hall. The Nascent Soul from Sword Hall smiled gently. “Talisman Master Shen, including this time, we’ve already met eleven times and are considered to be familiar with each other. If we meet in the future, there’s no need to be so polite. After all, with your achievements in the Dao of Talismans, you’ll become a Class A core of the headquarters sooner or later.”

As he spoke, he first took out the reward for the leader of the Hidden Dragon Rankings. It was originally a thousand-year Spirit Heart Fruit, but Shen Ping had applied for other restricted-level rewards before.

After Shen Ping accepted it, the sword envoy took out another talisman scripture and handed it over. His expression was a little solemn. “Talisman Master Shen, this scripture is the core item of the True Treasure Pavilion. You are not allowed to let other cultivators see it without permission, let alone give it to others. If you were discovered, the consequences will be extremely serious.”

Shen Ping nodded seriously and said, “1 understand!”

He took the scroll. He was rather excited. He had long finished comprehending the first volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture and even developed a new Talisman Beast Diagram. But until now, he had just come into contact with the second volume.

Although the scripture was only the most basic Talisman Beast Diagram, the special types and quantities of spirit runes contained in it were very important to him. Without these, even if he could copy the talisman scripture strange beasts produced by the Life Divine Talisman, he would not know how to write.

The sword envoy was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at Shen Ping and continued, “Now, most of the core members of the headquarters have returned to the headquarters one after another. There are less than 20 people still outside, and 80% of them are in the Zhongsheng Continent. The rest are not far from the Zhongsheng Continent. They will arrive at the headquarters in two to three days at most.

“On the other hand, the Linhai Immortal City where Talisman Master Shen is located is very far from the headquarters. It takes a month to go back and forth. Why didn’t you go to the headquarters earlier?”

This was the first time the sword envoy had asked about this.

Shen Ping thought for a moment and said, “Senior Sword Envoy, to be honest, the reason why I’m staying in the Linhai Immortal City is mainly because 1 want to bring my wife, concubines, and Dao companions to the headquarters.” The sword envoy could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he said, “The families of the core members can be arranged to be in the Treasure Immortal City of the Zhongsheng Continent. Are you worried that the Treasure Immortal City is not safe?”

Shen Ping hurriedly shook his head and said, “Although the Treasure Immortal City is only the periphery, since the families of many core members are arranged there, they will definitely have powerful methods to protect them. It’s just that my wife and concubines’ cultivation realms are low. If anything happens, the chances of them surviving are extremely small. Therefore, I’m really worried about them leaving my side.”

The Sword Envoy came to a sudden understanding, and then he smiled and said, “I never expected Talisman Master Shen to value relationships so much. But do you know what sort of conditions are required to bring your wife, concubines, and Dao Companions to the central area of the headquarters?”

Before Shen Ping could reply, he said, “At the very least, you have to be a core member of the main hall. It’s not an ordinary difficulty to do this.”

Shen Ping cupped his hands. “No matter how difficult it is, I have to do it!”

Hearing this, the Sword Envoy’s eyes revealed a trace of admiration. Although there were few core members of Sword Hall, most of them were cultivators who valued friendship and loyalty, so they were very united.

Now that he saw that Shen Ping was actually willing to stay in the Linhai Immortal City for the sake of his wife and concubines, he was even more satisfied with him. “Talisman Master Shen’s kindness is commendable. No matter what happens in the future, the door of the Sword Hall will always be open to you.”

On the Cloud Beast Carriage back to the courtyard.

She watched as Shen Ping took out the scripture. Pei Huoyu reminded him, “The second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture is not easy. It far exceeds the first four volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra. If your cultivation speed slows down, Fellow Daoist Shen, you don’t have to feel any psychological pressure. This is very normal. Back then, Perfected Yun Ya spent nearly ten years just to see through the Talisman Beast Diagram on the second volume.” Shen Ping was stunned. “That long?”

Pei Huoyu said indifferently, “If that wasn’t the case, those members of the top 100 of the Glory Ranking wouldn’t have been unable to completely comprehend the five volumes of the beast form for hundreds of years. There aren’t many Talisman Dao geniuses like you in the five continents and four seas.”

Shen Ping’s expression changed slightly. “How long did that Talisman Master Jing Yu take?”

“Five months.” Pei Huoyu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Fellow Daoist Shen, your comprehension of the talisman scripture is extremely outstanding. It’s fine even if it’s slower.”

Shen Ping did not say anything else. Instead, he looked at the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture.

As the scriptures were spread out, a large number of spirit runes derived from special spirit runes were densely intertwined. If a cultivator’s divine sense was not strong and did not study the talisman scripture at all, they would feel a strong dizziness.

“Qian, Stack, Return, Run, Cocoon… There are a total of five special spirit runes in their original state!”

Compared to the feeling of reading a heavenly book when he first read the first volume, when he looked at the second volume this time, he could tell at a glance that there were 800 derived spirit runes of the original form. Although the special spirit runes on them were more complicated and varied, Shen Ping quickly figured out the outline of the patterns by looking at the derivative spirit runes.

This was the strange beast horn diagram.

If he had not copied the strange beast often, he could only tell that it was a curved horn. However, at this moment, he knew that the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram outlined a single horn of the strange beast.

Furthermore, it was not all the patterns on the surface of the horn, only part of it.

Initially, Shen Ping thought that the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram would use the pattern as the foundation and spread in all directions. He did not expect it to directly turn to the horn of the strange beast.

The eminence who created the Talisman Beast Scripture must have a reason for doing so. Therefore, although it was unexpected, Shen Ping did not suspect anything just because he had a talisman scripture and a strange beast to copy.

He immediately closed his eyes. His divine sense seeped into the jade token space. After appearing on the first level of the trial space, his thoughts touched the new Life Divine Talisman that emitted an ancient aura hidden in the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Boom!

They had just come into contact when a huge talisman scripture strange beast appeared. Over the past half a month, he had already gained experience from frequently copying the Talisman Scripture. As long as he did not look at the entire huge creature, the spirit of the Niwan Palace would not be exhausted.

Therefore, he ignored the other parts of the Talisman Scripture and focused on the outline of the patterns on the surface of the horn.

Instantly, the outline of a horn formed by a large number of special spirit runes was clearly reflected in Shen Ping’s pupils. It was different from watching the scripture.

The special spirit runes in every part of the talisman scripture were very subtle from the entire body to the individual scale structure. Even a cultivator like Pei Huoyu, who had never studied the talisman scripture, could understand it, let alone Shen Ping.

Therefore, he didn’t need to understand how the evolution of special spirit runes was perfectly combined. He didn’t need to rack his brains to consider how the initial states of the five special spirit runes were superimposed and fused. He only needed to continuously copy and outline some of the horn’s texture.

This undoubtedly saved a lot of time.

Bang! Bang!

The jagged rocks on the dark rocky ground attacked the defensive spiritual light crazily. However, Shen Ping copied the strange beast’s single-horn talisman diagram as if he was drunk.

Once, twice…

He was completely immersed in it. It was not until the jagged rocks drowned him and his consciousness left the jade token space that he broke free from this state.

At this moment, the Cloud Beast Carriage had long stopped at the entrance of Yongyang Market.

Pei Huoyu stood up when she saw Shen Ping open his eyes. Before she get off the Cloud Beast Carriage, Shen Ping’s voice sounded. “Perfected Pei, how long has the Cloud Beast Carriage been parked here?”

“Almost four hours.”

“How long did you say that Talisman Master Jing Yu took to comprehend the second volume?”

“Five months.”

A smile appeared on Shen Ping’s face. “Looks like I was a little faster..”
