Chapter 174: Start

The discussion ended.

…

Several Hall Masters under the Moon Spirit Hall transmitted their voices to each other on the way back.

“Something’s amiss. I’m afraid something has happened.”

“That’s right. It’s just a matter of investing core resources, but the Main Hall Master went against everyone’s wishes and directly approved it. This is very rare.”

“It’s indeed a little unusual. Moreover, I heard that the Lord of the main hall who suggested this matter is preparing to use an unfinished research experiment in the building in advance. If that’s the case, then the way our True Treasure Pavilion has been nurturing core members might change.”

“Oh right, didn’t the Mountain Fire Hall accept a monstrous Talisman Dao genius some time ago? Tsk tsk, now that the resources are tilted, if we take advantage of this opportunity, it’s very likely that he’ll become the Hall Master in the future!”

“You flatter me. It’s still early.”

As these Hall Masters chatted, they talked about the Mountain Fire Hall.

Faced with praise, Mountain Fire Hall A/Iaster hurriedly shook his head humbly, but he enjoyed it in his heart. “To be able to make the Main Hall Master take it so seriously, I’m afraid the increase in resources this time is not small. This genius that my Mountain Fire Hall has just recruited has just become a core disciple, but he encountered such an opportunity. It seems that he’s a person with deep luck.”

Linhai Immortal City.

In the small courtyard of Yongyang Market.

Pei Huoyu, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, suddenly frowned. Then, she took out his identity jade token and saw that it was glowing.

Someone was sending a message. She sent out a trace of his divine sense.

Li Yin’s voice quickly sounded. “Junior Sister, something big has happened at the headquarters.”

“What is it?” Pei Huoyu listened attentively.

Li Yin said solemnly, “The headquarters recently passed a resolution to increase the resources to nurture core members. 1 heard that the increase is huge, and there will be changes in the past nurturing methods. I can’t find out the exact details, but this is undoubtedly a precious opportunity for you and Talisman Master Shen!”

Pei Huoyu was shocked. “Senior Brother, is this true?”

“When have I ever lied to you? Originally, the hall was trying its best to nurture new geniuses. You had no hope of helping that Talisman Master Shen to break through to B-rank, but there might be a turnaround now.

“In half a month or a month, the headquarters will make a move. I’ll contact you then. Remember, you must supervise and remind that Talisman Master not to miss this opportunity. 1 rarely see such a big commotion in the headquarters.”

The message ended.

Pei Huoyu could not hide the excitement on her valiant face. The most important resource for core members was the restricted level. Since they wanted to increase the amount, it would definitely increase the restricted level. This was indeed an extremely rare opportunity. She got up and went to the talisman making room.

At this moment, Shen Ping was focused on making talismans. Pei Huoyu restrained her aura and did not disturb him. Instead, she stood behind him and sized up the talisman room.

This was the first time she had entered the talisman room. After all, most cultivators who were proficient in certain techniques hated outsiders interfering with their investigations. For example, Perfected Yun Ya would also be angry if he was disturbed while making talismans.

As a core member of the Mountain Fire Hall, she knew this very well. Therefore, every time Shen Ping entered the talisman room, she would not sense it again. Her gaze swept over. There were many things placed in the room. Most of them were talismans and materials, and there were also some scattered puppet items.

This surprised Pei Huoyu. She did not expect that apart from making talismans, Shen Ping also liked to make puppets. In fact, she knew that Shen Ping’s wife and concubines had puppet items on them. At that time, she only thought that Shen Ping had exchanged these puppet items from the True Treasure Pavilion.

But now it seemed that wasn’t the case. She walked over and casually flipped through a few puppet items. She could not help but frown. She felt that there was something wrong with these fragments.

“Gold Treasure Stone, Apricot Silver Wood, Grade-3 Blood Rhinoceros Horn…

Wait, these seem to be the materials to make Level Three puppets?!”

After reacting, Pei Huoyu stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

It was normal for Talisman Masters to take care of other skills. Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even Nascent Soul cultivators would try to practice and study various skills when they felt that it was difficult for their cultivation to improve. Therefore, she was not surprised that Shen Ping made puppets.

However, this was a Level 3 puppet material! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to spend hundreds of years of immersion and research to reach this level.

Shen Ping was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. If he could create a Level Three puppet, it would undoubtedly mean that he had shocking talent in the Dao of puppets.

However, Pei Huoyu knew very well that Shen Ping was a Talisman Master who was proficient in Talisman Daoism. Furthermore, he had outstanding talent in Talisman Daoism. This talent had once amazed Perfected Yun Ya.

Under normal circumstances, it was already not bad for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to be proficient in one skill. It was extremely rare in the Zhongsheng Continent for them to have both talents and reach a certain level.

But now…

She came back to her senses.

Pei Huoyu looked up at the broad figure who was standing in front of the talisman table and drawing spirit runes with a talisman brush. Her emotions fluctuated.

A moment later, Shen Ping put down his brush. He stretched and looked at the Level Three talisman he had made with a smile on his face. As his level in the Dao of Talismans continued to increase, his success rate in making Level Three Shield Spirit Talismans was also getting higher and higher.

“Senior Pei.” Shen Ping turned around and cupped his hands. He had noticed it when he walked in earlier, but he was busy making talismans and had no time to care about anything else.

“After mastering the Vibration Rune, although it will be much easier to make ordinary talismans, you’re a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all. To be able to successfully make a Level Three Shield Spirit Talisman, your divine sense should have broken through to the Core Formation realm, right?” Pei Huoyu said calmly.

Shen Ping nodded and said, “Senior Pei has a discerning eye. I’ve been immersed in studying the Talisman Scripture all day long, and my divine sense has indeed improved faster. I reached the Core Formation realm a while ago.”

“You already have a Core Formation divine sense at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. If Fellow Daoist Shen walks the path of battle cultivation, you will definitely be an extremely powerful battle cultivator.” Pei Huoyu praised him. Then, she pointed at the scattered puppet items and asked casually, “Fellow Daoist Shen, can you make a Level Three puppet?”

Shen Ping shook his head. “I can only occasionally make a small Level Three puppet.”

The Dao of Puppets was divided into many types.

The mainstream was spirit puppets. They relied on their powerful divine sense to attack and defend. Spirit puppets were divided into small and large ones. There were also humanoid puppets and demon puppets.

In the early stages, Puppet Masters’ combat strength was weak, but as their puppet level increased to the second level, their combat strength improved qualitatively. At the third level, the combat strength of puppets could be said to have soared, especially large third level humanoid puppets. Even if they were low-grade third level puppets, as long as their core mechanical parts and energy were not destroyed, they had the ability to fight a mid-stage Golden Core.

However, the small ones were mainly supportive.

For example, the Mountain-Drilling Thunder Snake’s support effect was very good.

Pei Huoyu smiled. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you’re quite outstanding in the field of puppets since you’re able to create small Level Three puppets. However, it’s better to specialize in them than to be mixed. Fellow Daoist Shen, your main focus now is still to study Talisman Scripture. It won’t be too late to study puppets when you reach the headquarters in the future.”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Senior Pei, don’t worry. I’m only making puppets when I’m bored and free.”

The corners of Pei Huoyu’s lips twitched. He could reach Level Three when he was making them occasionally. If other puppet masters found out, they would probably vomit blood.

“By the way, why did Senior Pei come to find me?”

Hearing this, Pei Huoyu suppressed the waves in her heart and said casually, “Nothing much. I just want to ask Fellow Daoist Shen about your recent cultivation of the Talisman Scripture.”

Shen Ping did not hide it and replied, “In a few days, the hidden runes will be completely balanced. As for the Green Talisman Sutra, I can already master the sword-shaped diagram in the first volume. However, I haven’t outlined the fire-shaped diagram in the second volume.”

“Not bad.” Pei Huoyu praised him, “I originally thought that you would have to stay on the Hidden Runes for at least a year or two. I didn’t expect you to find a balance so quickly. It seems that it’s because of your divine sense. It’s a huge advantage for you to have a Core Formation divine sense at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

“At this speed, Fellow Daoist Shen will most likely be able to comprehend the first two volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra before you go to the headquarters. If you want to break through to the B-rank core, you have to comprehend the first four volumes. Don’t worry, I’ll help you resolve the last two volumes.”

Shen Ping looked at Pei Huoyu in surprise and could not help but say, “Senior Pei, you don’t have to worry about this. The last two volumes require a lot of contribution points. I’ll go to the headquarters and find the support of the other halls before exchanging for the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture.”

Pei Huoyu didn’t say anything else, but she secretly decided that when her senior brother sent another message, she would borrow some contribution points. Although her senior brother didn’t have that many, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. His connections in the headquarters were wider than hers, so it shouldn’t be difficult for him to gather the contribution points needed for the last two volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters

Mountain Fire Hall.

Laughter came from the hall from time to time. The guards on both sides of the hall door were surprised. Usually, the Hall Master did not smile, but what was wrong with him today? He was actually so happy.

“Disciple, with your natural talent in the Dao of Talismans, once the new Core Jade Tokens are distributed, you’ll surely be able to ascend the Glory Rankings of the core members of my True Treasure Pavilion!

“I’ve already found out that the resources this time are tilted unprecedentedly. As long as you can continue to be on the rankings, you can obtain restricted resources. You’re also a new member. At that time, there will be additional Hidden Dragon Rankings.

“With the double ranking bonus, it’s basically not a problem for you to become a Class A core member..”
