On the way back to Qingyang City, as if sensing that someone was staring at him from behind, Pei Huoyu turned around and said indifferently, “You don’t have to take Perfected Yun Ya’s matter to heart. Any Dao Protector would do the same if they met a talisman master like you. However, it just so happens that Perfected Yun Ya’s connections can be of some use this time.

“Furthermore, even without Perfected Yun Ya’s connections, with your status as a core member, you don’t have to worry about cultivation and life in the city.”

Shen Ping cupped his hands and smiled. “No matter what, I thank Senior Pei for this arrangement. By the way, how many contribution points do you need for the two books of the Green Talisman Sutra?”

Pei Huoyu smiled. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you really want to know?”

“Senior Pei, please tell me.” Shen Ping bowed.

Pei Huoyu pondered for a moment and replied, “The Green Talisman Sutra belongs to our Mountain Fire Hall. Although it’s only the first two basic volumes, if you exchange it with contribution points, the first volume costs 50,000, and the second volume costs 300,000. However, I’m the core of the Mountain Fire Hall and have a high status. 1 only spent 280,000 contribution points in exchange for it.”

Even though Shen Ping was mentally prepared, he could not help but be speechless when he heard so many contributions at this moment. He came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. “I’m afraid 1 can’t repay Senior Pei’s kindness with that little contribution!”

Other than the 100,000 contribution points he obtained the first time, he, a D-rank core member, had the same treatment as Elder Peng. If he wanted to exchange for the Green Talisman Sutra, he would need hundreds of years to accumulate it.

This was only the first two volumes.

Pei Huoyu glanced at Shen Ping and said casually, “When you reach the headquarters and undergo a re-evaluation, you will know other ways to obtain contribution points. Be it at the local or the headquarters, the contribution points of the True Treasure Pavilion are very important. The 100,000 contribution points you obtained for the first time have to be used at the key points. Try your best to use spirit stones or talismans to exchange for the cultivation resources.”

She reminded him again, “Resources like the Talisman Scripture can only be bought with contribution points in the True Treasure Pavilion. Although you can use other items to exchange for contribution points, you should know that this exchange is not equal. Of course, you’re only in the Foundation Establishment Realm now, and your Dao Companions are only in the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment realm. The cultivation resources required won’t consume much contribution points. However, when you form your core in the future and condense your Nascent Soul, it will be different. “Moreover, if you want to break through to the B-rank core, you need more contribution points to buy the Talisman Sutra and other supplementary resources like the Green Talisman Sutra to comprehend it. This is also the main reason why I said earlier that you need support.”

Shen Ping was suddenly enlightened.

Originally, he thought that he had 100,000 contribution points to squander. Even if he bought top-notch Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, spiritual marrow, and other resources, he did not spend too much.

However, from the looks of it, 100,000 contribution points was far from enough!

Pei Huoyu’s voice continued, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I didn’t reveal this previously mainly because 1 was afraid that you would retreat in the face of difficulties. Breaking through to the B-rank core is far from as simple as you think.”

Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Senior Pei, are you not afraid now?”

Pei Huoyu smiled. “Fellow Daoist Shen’s concern for your Dao companions has indeed made me look at you in a different light. Therefore, be it for yourself or for your Dao companions, you need restricted resources. Only B-rank cores are qualified to buy restricted resources.”

Shen Ping smiled and did not say anything else. He had never hidden his concern for his wife and concubines. Pei Huoyu had been with him for so long, so it was normal for her to be able to tell this.

While the two of them were talking, the cloud boat had already flown halfway. When they were about to reach Qingyang Lake, waves of Golden Core magic powers swept over.

Pei Huoyu waved her hand. The flame light enveloped the cloud boat and quickly passed through the area enveloped by the Golden Core aura.

Soon, Shen Ping saw hundreds of cultivators from the Luosha Demonic Valley and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect using an array formation to tie up more than ten rogue cultivators. These demonic cultivators did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. Instead, they looked at the rogue cultivators killing each other in the array formation as if they were playing.

They noticed the cloud boat.

These demonic cultivators only took a glance before hurriedly retracting their gazes. The Golden Core cultivator of the Luosha Demonic Valley had long sensed the cloud boat through their divine sense, and the flames on the cloud boat made him afraid, so he had long sent a voice transmission not to provoke it.

The cloud boat flew past the sky above the formation. Shen Ping glanced at the despair in the eyes of the cultivators inside. He sighed silently. The Immortal Dao was ruthless. What could a third-level Foundation Establishment cultivator like him do?

If he could, why would he leave Qingyang City!

Swoosh.

The ray of light left. There were only three cultivators left in the array formation.

“Only one can live.” The Golden Core demonic cultivator’s cold voice sounded.

The three Foundation Establishment Cultivators looked at each other and laughed. Their laughter was ferocious and crazy.

“Hahaha, you said that three of us will live, but now, only one could live. You damned demonic cultivators don’t want us to live at all!”

“Go to hell!”

The cloud boat crossed Qingyang Lake. The huge city gradually came into view. The rainbow-like bridge stretched all the way to the city gate.

Shen Ping looked at the city. The scene of the first time he came to this city appeared in front of him. At that time, this city was prosperous and stable, and the spiritual energy was abundant. There were also many cultivators enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake on the long bridge.

But now, he looked at the city again.

It was still prosperous and filled with spiritual energy. However, the people who had watched the lake back then were no longer on the long bridge.

Whoosh.

Shen Ping controlled the cloud boat to land at the entrance of the long bridge made of jade in the East Lake. The statues of the Golden Sun Sect’s Supreme Elder on both sides of the bridge were long gone. He walked slowly along the railing of the long bridge. The sparkling lake reflected the brilliance of autumn. From time to time, fish-type demon beasts would jump out, and their shiny scales would quickly splash up layers of waves.

When his gaze moved from the lake to the huge city gate again, he suddenly felt that this city was like a cage, trapping too many people. “It’s really time to go.” Shen Ping shook his head. Then, he quickened his pace.

Two days later, Elder Peng came again. Sitting on the chair in the hall, he said helplessly, “Guest Elder Shen, it’s all my fault for not keeping my mouth shut. Recently, many Guest Elders heard that you were leaving early and asked me to do them a favor. They want to send their families and Dao companions to the flying ship in advance and head to the Linhai Immortal City together.

“After all, the situation in the Wei Kingdom is becoming more and more chaotic. The Danxia Sect has already joined forces with the righteous sects of the twelve countries to fight the Demon Alliance led by the Luosha Demonic Valley and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in the northern state of the Wei Kingdom. Perhaps it will spread to Qingyang City in the next few months. If they leave earlier, they can seek peace of mind.”

Shen Ping shook his head and said, “Elder Peng, I also came from Cloud Mountain Parlour. I understand this thought very well. The flying ship can carry many cultivators, so it’s naturally convenient. I’ll have to trouble Elder Peng to compile the specific list. When the time comes, we can leave together.” Elder Peng stroked his beard and said, “Guest Elder Shen, 1 thank you on behalf of those Fellow Daoists.”

In the bedroom late at night, purple, pink, brocade white, red, and other undergarments were casually thrown away.

They competed for beauty on the bed.

It had the elegance of a clear spring.

It had the thickness of fertile grassland.

It has the horse’s hoof with spring in it.

There were mountain ranges far and wide. It all looked exceptionally enchanting.

After Shen Ping left his stain one by one, he left elegantly with the smell of various petals. He arrived at the quiet room of the Spirit Pool.

Thinking of what Perfected Pei had said earlier, he withdrew the core jade pendant and was just about to send a message to Yu Qingling when he heard her light voice. “Fellow Daoist Shen. If you’re willing to tell me how to resolve the frustrations of cultivation, 1 can also use contribution points to trade. What do you think?”

The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself that Fellow Daoist Yu was really stubborn about this. However, there was still no problem with the transaction of the Snow Ganoderma Pill and the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment This meant that Fellow Daoist Yu’s ability to keep secrets was reliable.

However, he was not in the mood to deal with this matter now. It was not too late to communicate seriously after he left Qingyang City and arrived at the Linhai Immortal City.

“Fellow Daoist Yu. The contribution of the True Treasure Pavilion is very important. Isn’t it a waste for you to use it on this?” He kindly reminded her. However, he actually wanted to know more about the specific use of the contribution points and other information about restricted-level resources. Actually, he could ask Perfected Pei about this, but Shen Ping did not want to trouble her for everything. It was necessary to have another channel of information.

The message was sent.

Fellow Daoist Yu replied very quickly. Her voice seemed to be filled with joy. “Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Shen. My parents and Master have accumulated quite a bit. There’s no need to worry about contributions for the time being. Moreover, the Alchemy Dao that I cultivate has scriptures, comprehension, and support. Master has already prepared them. There’s no need to waste many contributions here.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, as a Talisman Master, apart from the Talisman Beast Scripture bestowed by the headquarters, I’m afraid you still need many supplementary comprehension scrolls. These all require a lot of contribution points, especially the subsequent scrolls of the Talisman Beast Scripture. These cost a lot of contribution points..”
