Chapter 279: Just This Test? (1)

Following the long corridor on the left in front of the hall, under the guidance of a deacon of the Dan Hai Hall, Shen Ping arrived at the side hall after about ten minutes. He stepped through the hall door. When he raised his eyes, he quickly swept the entire side hall with his peripheral vision.

The area in the hall was not big. It was about a thousand feet wide. However, the furnishings were extremely simple. There was only a jade table and a few futons carved with the pattern of a cauldron.

Perfected Yu was sitting on a futon behind the jade table. He was wearing a simple white robe with brocade embroidered on it. There were not many patterns on his hairpin, only a wooden hairpin. His face was calm and had a smile.

However, when Shen Ping saw the beautiful figure beside Perfected Yu, his eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace of surprise. Obviously, he didn’t expect that on this important day when he was cultivating the Talisman Beast Scripture for the first time, Perfected Yu would actually allow his daughter, Yu Qingling, to be here.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart. He hurriedly walked forward and bowed seriously. “The new core disciple, Shen Ping, greets Senior Perfected Yu.” Although Perfected Yu was only nurturing and teaching on behalf of the main hall in the early stages, no matter what, as long as the other party gave him guidance, even if it was just a sudden impulse, he would be grateful for teaching and clearing his doubts. Just like Perfected Yun Ya, who had taught him the basics of the Talisman Beast Scripture, although they were not master and disciple, in Shen Ping’s heart, Perfected Yun Ya was his first master.

“Talisman Master Shen, from today onwards, I will teach and be responsible for your comprehension of the beast form and skin of the Talisman Beast Scripture.” Perfected Yu accepted Shen Ping’s bow calmly. “Just call me Perfected Yu or Senior Yu in the future. There’s no need to be so polite.” He looked at the beautiful figure beside him and introduced simply, “This is my daughter, Qingling. 1 think you’ve interacted with her before.”

Shen Ping nodded and said, “Senior Yu, 1 have indeed interacted with Fellow Daoist Yu in terms of cultivation and benefited greatly.”

Yu Qingling, who had a sword-shaped mark between her eyebrows, sat cross-legged on the futon. Her exquisite curves were completely tense. When she heard Shen Ping’s voice, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster, and she lowered her head imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Perfected Yu frowned slightly. “Qingling, you know Talisman Master Shen and are also a new core disciple of the same batch. Why don’t you know any etiquette when you meet him now?”

Yu Qingling exclaimed and hurriedly raised her eyes to bow. “Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shen.”

Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands in return.

Perfected Yu shook his head. “Talisman Master Shen, my daughter, Qingling, rarely interacts with other cultivators. She often stays in the Spirit Peak to cultivate in seclusion, so she’s a little slow and dull. She’s not good with words. If you have any interactions in the future, I hope you can understand.” Shen Ping smiled and said, “Senior Yu, your daughter has a rare pure nature. It’s normal for this to happen.”

Perfected Yu smiled when he heard this. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they got to the point.

“The comprehension of the beast form of the Talisman Beast Scripture mainly lies in the control of the twelve special spirit runes and various combinations of the basics of the Talisman Scripture. Most of the core geniuses in the headquarters have studied it carefully and can easily distinguish the foundation of the complicated evolution of the spirit runes. From there, they can see and understand the diagram of the entire beast form scripture. 1 believe that Talisman Master Shen is more at ease with this.”

He waved his sleeve. The third volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture appeared on the jade table.

Whoosh.

Magic powers of the Nascent Soul surged. The scripture slowly spread out in Shen Ping’s vision. Perfected Yu’s voice continued, “This is the third scripture. There are more combinations of spirit runes. Could Talisman Master Shen identify the types of basic spirit runes contained in this scripture?”

Shen Ping’s gaze fell. He swept his eyes briefly and immediately replied, “There are a total of seven special spirit runes. They are Qian, Stack, Return, Lock, Kan, Thorn, Cocoon.”

When he heard that, satisfaction appeared in Perfected Yu’s eyes. Although seeing through the basic types of spirit runes in the scripture was the most basic mastery for skill geniuses, most of the core members needed several hours to look at this third volume before they could distinguish them.

Yet Shen Ping could tell at a glance. His foundation was really solid. Furthermore, the foundation of the Talisman Scripture did not have much to do with talent. Furthermore, he had heard that Shen Ping had only cultivated the Basic Talisman Scripture for less than ten years. To be able to reach this level, Perfected Yun Ya had indeed taught him well.

“Talisman Master Shen, continue watching. Comprehending the diagrams of this scripture is relatively difficult. You just have to read it seriously.”

Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “Senior Yu, this scripture is a diagram of a hoof and claw. I think it’s a hoof and claw talisman diagram of a strange beast?”

Perfected Yu was slightly stunned and could not help but take a few more glances at Shen Ping. Although he knew that Shen Ping was extremely talented in the Talisman Beast Scripture and could even be said to be the strongest Talisman Dao genius since the establishment of the True Treasure Pavilion, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

However, he didn’t lose his composure. Instead, he smiled and nodded. “That’s right. It’s the talisman diagram of a strange beast’s hoof and claw. For Talisman Master Shen to be able to comprehend it so quickly, be it the foundation of the talisman scripture or the comprehension of the talisman scripture, you’re indeed very outstanding.” His sleeves fluttered, and specks of fluorescent light appeared on his fingertips. Immediately after, he used the complicated combination of the special spirit runes of the third volume in the void and began to outline the drawing of the strange beast’s hooves and claws.

Shen Ping watched seriously. In less than ten minutes, a huge claw talisman diagram that seemed to tear through space appeared in the side hall. Compared to the talisman diagram on the jade table, Perfected Yu’s diagram was even more agile. It was like a real claw, and there was a faint vibration of power.

If it were any other skill genius, they would inevitably be shocked and sigh in admiration.

However, Shen Ping appeared very calm. After seeing the outline of the strange beast outlined by the perfect spirit rune of the talisman scripture, he naturally looked less stunning when he looked at the hooves and claws..
