He put away the list. He looked at Chen Bin and continued, “Are there any prodigies worth nurturing in the sect?”

Chen Bin said hesitantly, “There are a few, but they’re only in the third grade. They’re far from being considered prodigies.”

The Lizard Sect was still much weaker in this aspect.

“We have to pay special attention to those outstanding prodigies like Nangong Yao. If we can rope them in, we have to do it at all costs. Just say that our Lizard Sect can allow them to grow quickly.”

Shen Ping waved his hand. A pure blood bead floated in front of Chen Bin “Try refining and absorbing it.”

“Yes.”

Without any hesitation, Chen Bin swallowed it. Soon, his eyes revealed the sexpression as Elder Yan at that time. “Thank you for the gift Sect Master.”

The energy in the blood bead was extremely pure. There were no side effects after consuming it. Moreover, he had a feeling that as long as he could completely absorb it, he would be able to break through to the middle stage of the Star Rank.

Shen Ping gave Chen Bin three Star-rank blood beads and seven fifth-rank blood beads. “With these, I believe you should be able to rope in those prodigies who are m urgent need of growth very quickly. Remember, I value women the most. They can’t be older than twenty years old. It’s best if they have gold, earth, wind, and other bloodline attributes.”

Chen Bin understood. “I understand!”

It was indeed much more convenient to have a faction working for him. There were many things that he did not have to do personally, and it would be much faster to investigate.

“By the way, you have to collect more Stargold Stone mines. If you encounter anything that you can’t resolve, you can inform me.”

In the end, he reminded him. Although absorbing and refining the blood beads of demons was faster than refining the Stargold Stone, it was not easy for the blood beads to encounter those of the slevel. However, the Stargold Stone was different. If there was a large-scale Stargold Stone Mine, with Shen Ping s devouring talent, he could quickly improve himself.

Not long after Chen Bin left, Nangong Yao had arrived. Shen Ping had disappeared for more than half a year. She was still a little worried. This was not because of feelings, but because Shen Ping had gone to find trouble with the Demon God Sect. The cause of the matter was her Nangong family.

‘The Demon God Sect is indeed well-hidden. After I killed the Jin Family’s guardian this time, I tracked them all the way overseas, but I couldn’t find their headquarters.”

“Brother Shen has already helped the Nangong family greatly by killing the Jin family s guardian. Yao’er has nothing to repay you with!”

More than half a year later, Nangong Yao’s bloodline aura had increased quite a bit, and she was not far from the middle stage of the Star Realm. Shen Ping looked at Nangong Yao, who looked 70% similar to Immortal Venerable Yao.

Sister Yao, there’s no need to be so polite between us.”

“I- ” Nangong Yao wanted to say something but hesitated. Her great­grandfather had been urging her to invite Shen Ping, but what Shen Ping had said last tmade her feel conflicted. If she invited him, she had to accept it from the bottom of her heart. However, if it was in the nof her great­grandfather, he would not go.

“Sister Yao, if you have any difficulties, feel free to say it. As long as I can do it I will definitely do my best.” Shen Ping said with a smile. After all, Nangong Yao was not Immortal Venerable Yao. No matter how firm her beliefs were, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl in his opinion. She would still be affected by the outside world.

I, I… Nangong Yao bit her red lips. “I want to invite Brother Shen to the mansion. The Jin Family no longer has a guardian, and the Nangong Family has enefited a lot. Logically speaking, we should thank Brother Shen.”

Shen Ping said with a faint smile, “Is Sister Yao inviting me?”

“Yes.” Nangong Yao lowered her head.

“Okay, when?”

“Tomorrow.

“Alright, I’ll definitely be there on time.”

Looking at Nangong Yao’s departing figure, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. In the end, she was still a little girl.

In the backyard of the mansion of the Nangong Family, Nangong Yao’s mother sat beside her and said earnestly, “Yao’er, I know that you’ve always prioritized cultivation, but you have to consider your own important matters. You’re not young anymore. You’ll be eighteen after this year!

“I was already pregnant when I was 16 years old. I think that Guardian Shen is not bad. He’s the sage as you and his cultivation level is not low. He will definitely surpass your grandfather in the future.”

NangongYao couldn’t help but say, “Mother, that’s not my ambition I just want to cultivate.”

Her mother shook her head. “Marriage won’t affect your cultivation. Your eldest sister and second sister have already married a long tago. Haven’t they all broken through to the fourth rank now? If you marry, you can still cultivate.”

“B-But this is different.”

“How is it different? Could it be that Guardian Shen will delay you?”

“As a married woman, we have to prioritize our family. How can we not delay it?” Nangong Yao defended herself.

Her mother smiled and said, “You and Guardian Shen are still young. You can have children later. At most, you can make three rules with him. When you reach the late Star Rank, you can give birth to a descendant. This way, the chances of the descendant having an outstanding bloodline will be much higher. There are many such examples in the aristocratic families.” Nangong Yao was persuaded, but she still said, “But didn’t Mother say that after I marry, I have to… I have to have sex with him. This will delaytoo.” “It’s only natural to have sex. You’ll be enthusiastic and frequent in the beginning, but it’ll get better in the future. Look atnow. I might not even be able to have sex with your father once in a few years. Men are all like this They like new ones…”

NangongYao didn’t insist anymore, but in the end, she said, “Mother givesometime.”

“Sure.”

The next day, nearing noon, Shen Ping cto the Nangong Family again. After more than half a year of recovery, the Nangong Family had already walked out of the previous attack. After annexing a portion of the Jin Family’s assets, the Nangong Family beceven more powerful.

Nephew Shen, it’s an honor for you to cto my Nangong family!”

“Guardian Nangong is too polite.”

While drinking tea in the esteemed guest hall, Old Ancestor Nangong told Shen Ping about sthings that had happened in the Great Xia Dynasty recently It was mainly because the chaos in the various states had worsened. For example the six southeastern states had completely fallen into chaos. The guards sent bv the dynasty had all disappeared.

“Guardian Nangong, the Imperial Dynasty isn’t weak. If they send one or two Star Palace Venerables over, they should be able to suppress them easily. Why aren’t they doing anything?” Shen Ping could not help but ask.

Old Ancestor Nangong sighed, “Nephew Shen, you might not know this but the Imperial Dynasty is in conflict. It looks calm, but there are many undercurrents. The Imperial Dynasty has a limited number of Star Palace Venerables. If they send them, they will lose balance and might not be able to return.

“The biggest problem in the provinces is still the powerful demons that were born. For example, the demons in Mount Ba near Jizhou have been much calmer recently, but the demons in the other provinces are wreaking havoc. Even the rarely seen Demon Venerable of the Star Palace has appeared. “Therefore, in such a chaotic situation, we should protect ourselves even more. Nephew Shen, you’re so young, yet you already have the strength of Star rank. You ‘ll definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future. And my Yao’er has quite a lot of potential. You should get closer to her to deal with the future.” After Old Ancestor Nangong finished speaking, he left the space for Shen Ping and Nangong Yao. The other maidservants also left. Shen Ping looked at the somewhat restrained Nangong Yao and couldn’t help but smile in his heart He knew that the other party was probably affected. Otherwise, with her thoughts she definitely wouldn’t be like this.

Sister Yao, you don’t have to take your ancestor’s words to heart. No matter what you decide, I will respect you.”

Nangong Yao was silent for a moment. Then, she raised her cold eyes and said,

Brother Shen, can you givethree years?”

“Oh? Why three years?” Shen Ping asked her.

NangongYao replied, “Three years later, it will be the Prodigy Tournament of the younger generation of the Imperial City. Initially, my great-grandfather wantedto participate in the competition, but the current situation was chaotic, and after the attack, my great-grandfather changed his mind. I still want to participate, though. I want to see the strength of my peers in the Imperial City. During this period, I want to focus on cultivation. No matter what the outcis, I will be willing to marry Brother Shen.”

Shen Ping was enlightened. There was indeed such a thing in Chen Bin’s report last time, but he did not care. After all, the Prodigy Tournament had nothing to do with him, and he was not interested in that kind of thing. “Alright, then I’ll wait for Sister Yao for three years.”

He was not in a hurry to begin with. If he really wanted to obtain a fire-element bloodline, he could just find a female with a fire-element bloodline. He just wanted to find a Beast Spirit with potential. This way, he would not feel too burdened when he left this place in the future.
