Chapter 62: Lightning Attack

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After signing the contract, Shen Ping felt his entire body relax. The huge pressure that lingered in his heart dissipated. After all, with his current cultivation speed, it was more than enough to break through to the late-stage of the Qi Refinement realm in three years. Once he became a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion, not to mention the treatment and resources, just the protection provided by the True Treasure Pavilion could allow him to cultivate steadily and not have to worry.

However, he had to be more cautious in the future.

The True Treasure Pavilion was a large faction. There were definitely many restrictions inside. Some connections had to be maintained. He could not do as he pleased like rogue cultivators. Thinking of this, he said seriously, “Shopkeeper Ding, I wonder if the three Foundation Establishment seniors are still in the backyard. I want to go and thank them.”

The three Foundation Establishment Talisman Masters who judged him were the key to such a smooth trip this time. Perhaps it was out of admiration, or perhaps it was out of various considerations in the future, but no matter what, they had helped him.

Shopkeeper Ding smiled and said, “The three Foundation Establishment seniors have already left. When Talisman Master Shen officially gets the guest wooden token, you will have a chance to meet again.” With that, the shopkeeper walked out of the private room.

Mu Jin’s crisp and sweet voice sounded. “Congratulations, Talisman Master Shen, on becoming a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion in the future. Please take care of me.”

Shen Ping could tell that something was different from before. He smiled and said, “I’m not familiar with the True Treasure Pavilion. I might have to trouble Fellow Daoist Mu.”

…..

Mu Jin blinked and said meaningfully, “It’s not troublesome. As long as you don’t stare at me like that, I’ll welcome you.” As she spoke, she smiled slyly. “I still have something to do outside, so 1 won’t talk to Talisman Master Shen anymore.”

He looked at her exquisite back. Shen Ping smiled silently. “It’s indeed different.”

It was already dark outside.

Yu Yan waited quietly at the door. Now that the market was not safe, she immediately rushed over when she received Shen Ping’s message. From time to time, she would look up at the door and then at the sky. Her eyes revealed some anxiety until she saw that figure.

Yu Yan quickly went forward. “Is it done?”

Shen Ping held Yu Yan’s palm. “Alright, I’ve already joined the True Treasure Pavilion. As long as 1 break through to the late-stage of Qi Refinement in three years, I can obtain the guest wooden token of the True Treasure Pavilion. It’s said that that wooden token can block a full-strength attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.” He could not help but say this in joy.

“Really? You joined the True Treasure Pavilion?” Yu Yan was stunned at first, then her eyes widened in disbelief. She did not expect her husband to do such a thing these few days.

Oh my god. This was the True Treasure Pavilion! Regardless of whether it was a rogue cultivator or a sect disciple, they were all colossal existences in their eyes. It was extremely difficult to join such a faction.

Previously, she had already felt that it was very unbelievable to participate in the True Treasure Pavilion’s auction. In the end, her husband was actually going to become a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion.

Yu Yan felt like she was in a dream.

“Let’s go back first.” Shen Ping pointed at his surroundings.

Only then did Yu Yan come back to her senses. She suppressed the shock in her heart and became vigilant. They had yet to reach Yunhe Alley. A few spiritual lights flashed in the darkness ahead.

It was the Golden Light Talisman.

Shen Ping could not help but feel nervous when he saw this. He hurriedly activated the Spirit Protection Talisman and took out a high-grade defensive Dharma artifact.

Yu Yan glanced sideways and was almost speechless. Shen Ping was surrounded by at least ten Spirit Protection Talismans. In his hand were five Golden Light Talismans and three Earth Meteor Talismans. Furthermore, the robe belt, boots, and crown all flickered with the light of a Dharma artifact. Apart from that, the shield hanging around his neck was also taken out from the cover of his robe.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, you’re really fat. 1 can’t help but attack!” Yu Yan teased before continuing to walk forward calmly. “Don’t worry. Not to mention the other Dharma artifacts, just the ten Spirit Protection Talismans on you are enough to make these Qi Refinement cultivators hesitate.”

The price of the Spirit Protection Talisman did not fall out of the range of io mid-grade spirit stones in the market. For Qi Refinement cultivators, they would be much more at ease with a Spirit Protection Talisman in hand.

With ten Spirit Protection Talismans, a late-stage cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refinement would have to bombard him for a long time even if he stood rooted to the ground, let alone a high-grade defensive Dharma artifact. When Shen Ping bought them back then, his heart ached. Ordinary late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators could not afford them at all.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, you can’t be careless.” As he walked to the spot where the spiritual light had flickered just now, Shen Ping hurriedly sent a voice transmission to remind her.

Yu Yan didn’t say a word. Her eyes under her tied hair were cold and sharp. Suddenly, she swung to the left. Swish, swish, swish. Silver threads instantly jumped out of her robe. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a silver net of light and landed more than ten meters away.

Then, two high-level talismans were activated. As spiritual energy flickered, two rays of golden light blasted towards the vicinity of the silver light net. Soon, a muffled groan came from more than ten meters away.

“Fellow Daoist, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

Yu Yan had no intention of stopping. The bracelet on her wrist instantly undid and transformed into five green moonblades that slashed over.

Chi chi-

Green vines appeared out of thin air more than ten meters in front of her. When Shen Ping saw this, he hurriedly activated the Earth Meteorite Talisman and threw it out at the right time. The spiritual energy of the talisman turned into a huge rock and smashed the green vine away.

The green moonblade slashed down rapidly through the gaps in the green vines.

Pfft, pfft.

The aura within a dozen meters quickly dimmed.

Some of the cultivators in the surrounding darkness revealed fear on their faces. In this instant of exchange, the two of them had used three high-level offensive talismans. Not only that, but the most important thing was that the female cultivator was decisive and ruthless. Her judgment was extremely shocking. Clearly, she had a lot of experience in battle.

At this moment, Yu Yan calmly cleaned up and said coldly, “Everyone, my husband and 1 are just passing by. This cultivator’s storage bag can be considered to have befriended you!” She threw down that storage bag. Then, she gave Shen Ping a look.

The two of them left quickly. Just as they left, there was a flash of light in the darkness behind them.

They returned to the small courtyard in Yunhe Alley. When they stepped into the house, Shen Ping’s tense mind finally relaxed. He asked curiously, “Fellow Daoist Yu, how did you know that cultivator was going to attack just now?”

Yu Yan smiled and said, “My divine sense is relatively strong. His actions can’t escape my perception, so 1 can naturally sense it. In that situation, 1 have to attack at lightning speed to shock the other cultivators. Otherwise, as long as a cultivator attacks, those hiding will definitely take advantage of the situation.

“However, the reason why we can leave so easily is mainly because you’re too fat. More than ten Spirit Protection Talismans can last for a long time. They’re not in cahoots. If we can’t resolve it quickly, we’ll be dealt with by others.”

Shen Ping nodded in understanding. “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.”

Yu Yan crossed her arms and glared at him. She reminded him gently, “Husband, don’t be so ostentatious in the future. Although the Spirit Protection Talisman can protect your safety, it’s also easy to be remembered.

“When you break through to the late-stage of Qi Refinement, you can hold on for a while before taking out a high-grade defensive Dharma artifact. You can do this.”

Shen Ping said seriously, “1’11 remember that.”

However, he thought to himself that he would try his best not to go out in the future. It would be much safer when he obtained the guest wooden token of the True Treasure Pavilion..
