Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

“Qi Deviation?” As soon as Shen Ping finished speaking, a calm voice suddenly came from the entrance of the hall. Then, his magic power fluctuated. Perfected Yu’s figure flashed beside the two of them, and he frowned. “Qingling, when did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked in a rare solemn tone.

Qi Deviation was a very serious problem for cultivators. If one was careless, one’s foundation would be damaged, and if it was serious, one would die. Although Perfected Yu knew that Qingling had never talked about her worries and cultivation problems, he did not expect her to not even mention such a major matter.

However, he soon realized that there was something wrong with Shen Ping and his daughter’s expressions, especially his daughter’s. Her face was red, her earlobes were red, and her entire face was tense. Even her body seemed to have frozen. This reaction…

“Senior Yu, you have misunderstood. The last time I communicated with Fellow Daoist Yu, she almost went berserk. There was no such problem.” After Shen Ping came back to his senses, he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. He’d practiced this sudden situation countless times in his heart, so he wasn’t completely speechless like Yu Qingling. Instead, his expression instantly returned to normal.

Perfected Yu heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she did not suffer from Qi Deviation, it meant that her mental state had not reached the point where she could slowly resolve it. He glanced at his daughter. She lowered her head. He shook his head helplessly.

Although Qingling was obedient and sensible, did not cause trouble, and could listen to her elders, she was too reserved and rarely interacted with other cultivators. In the past, this was not a big problem and was suitable for cultivators. However, as her cultivation level increased, it was inevitable that there would be problems.

After all, if a cultivator wanted to advance to immortality, it was definitely impossible for him to cultivate in seclusion. In the five continents and four seas, every powerful cultivator who stood at the top would befriend fellow Daoists and exchange cultivation comprehensions. It was the same for both Dao techniques and skills.

Thinking of this, Perfected Yu looked sideways at Shen Ping and said seriously, “Talisman Master Shen, although Qingling didn’t go berserk, since she has a problem with her mental state, she has to take it seriously. She hasn’t made many friends, and I’m afraid Talisman Master Shen is the only one who can help her. Therefore, 1 hope you can enlighten her.” As he spoke, he cupped his hands.

Shen Ping hurriedly said, “Senior Yu, you’re being too serious. Since I’m Fellow Daoist Yu’s good friend, I’ll naturally try my best.”

Perfected Yu nodded. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he changed the topic and began today’s cultivation.

“You’ve already comprehended the final beast form of the third volume’s beast form of the Talisman Beast Scripture, so this volume is not difficult for you. You just need to continue comprehending the rest. I should have given you enough time, but there’s not much time left before the calamity, and Mountain Fire Hall is also arranging for a puppet technique instructor. Therefore, after discussing with Hall Master Shan Huo, I decided to speed up your cultivation.” The magic power on his fingertip flashed. A sutra floated in front of him.

“This is volume four. Just like before, Talisman Master Shen, take a look first.” Perfected Yu waved his finger. The scroll spread out in the void. A large number of spirit runes derived from the special basic spirit runes interweaved and entered Shen Ping’s vision densely.

He only took a glance and Shen Ping immediately felt a little dizzy. This surprised him. After all, in terms of divine sense, he had long broken through to the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. He composed himself. He continued to observe.

Compared to the third volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture, the complexity of the fourth volume exceeded his expectations. At first glance, there were more than 2,000 spirit runes. Even Shen Ping, who had completely grasped the basics of the Talisman Beast Scripture, found it difficult to see the basic spirit runes in it.

However, because he often copied strange beasts from the Talisman Scripture and often saw the clear outline of strange beasts in his sea of consciousness, Shen Ping could see the diagram of this scripture in just a few breaths.

“Senior Yu, this scripture should be a whip tail diagram.”

He no longer needed to conceal his natural talent in the Dao of Talismans, so he didn’t hesitate in the slightest to speak frankly.

When Perfected Yu heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. The difficulty of the fourth volume, ‘Strange Beast Whip Tail Diagram’, wasn’t too high. However, because there were more spirit runes derived from it, it was very difficult for most cores to understand the basic spirit runes in a short period of time, let alone see through the entire diagram.

Although Shen Ping had already used his actions to prove that Talisman Dao talent was rare in the world, he did not expect that even this whip tail diagram was not difficult for the other party. He was really a monster.

If they were in the same era, it would really be difficult to catch up. Fortunately, Perfected Yu did not have to compete with such a genius. Otherwise, he would definitely feel dejected. When Shen Ping saw his expression, he could not help but ask in confusion, “May I ask Senior Yu, did I see wrongly?”

Phew! Perfected Yu took a deep breath. He suppressed his emotions and shook his head. “You didn’t see wrongly. This fourth scroll is indeed a whip tail diagram. Talisman Master Shen, may I ask if the strength of your divine sense has long surpassed the level of Foundation Establishment?”

Actually, he had already guessed this when he imparted the third volume. Even though comprehending the Talisman Beast Diagram was mostly about the skills of a Talisman Master, the further one went, the more complicated it became. The requirement for the strength of one’s divine sense also increased.

To put it bluntly, if one’s divine sense was too weak, not to mention comprehending, just the dense spirit runes were enough to make one dizzy.

Shen Ping hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I don’t dare to hide it from you, Senior. For some reason, my divine sense is indeed stronger than my actual cultivation.”

“No wonder…”
