“Talisman Master Shen, it seems that ordinary Talisman Beast Diagrams are not difficult for you at all. In that case, I’ll teach you the final beast form.

“This strange beast hoof and claw in front of you is the final beast form of the third volume. However, it only has a trace of the charm of the hoof and claw. Observe it carefully first. Don’t ask if you have any doubts. When you can outline an ordinary Talisman Beast Diagram on the jade table, ask the doubts in your heart.” As Perfected Yu spoke, he tapped the ground with his toes.

Immediately, there was a bang. Light fell from the side hall, enveloping the entire void outline of the strange beast’s hoof talisman diagram and suppressing the power inside. However, the array formation in this hall was more worn out.

Under normal circumstances, Perfected Yu would not do this when he was teaching other Talisman Dao geniuses. However, Shen Ping was different. In order to let him quickly comprehend the final beast form, it was worth it no matter how much he had to spend.

“Yes, Senior Yu!” Shen Ping cupped his hands with a serious expression.

Perfected Yu smiled and slowly left the side hall. He walked out of the hall. He quickened his pace and arrived at the long pavilion in the corridor not far away.

Hall Master Dan Hai was sitting here and tasting the spirit tea. When he saw Perfected Yu, he stroked his beard and asked with a smile, “How is it?”

Perfected Yu sat at the back and took a sip of spirit tea before sighing with emotion. “As expected of a monster in the Talisman Daoism. He could tell the type and diagram of the Talisman Beast Scripture’s spirit rune at a glance. 1 even suspect that he has come into contact with the third volume of the beast form of the Talisman Beast Scripture in advance!”

Hall Master Dan Hai’s smile intensified. “Don’t worry, how could Mountain Fire Hall deceive themselves like this? From the looks of it, this Talisman Master Shen’s talent in the Dao of Talismans is indeed astonishing. Before the calamity descends, he might really be able to use his Dao of Talismans to charge into the top three of Glory!”

Perfected Yu sighed. “If it really succeeds, there will definitely be a place for him in the main hall in the future. Oh right, Hall Master, when will Mountain Fire Hall arrange for fellow Daoists who are good at the Puppet Beast Scripture?”

Hall Master Dan Hai shook his head gently. “There’s no hurry. The most important thing now is to comprehend the five volumes of the Talisman Beast Scripture. If he studies the Puppet Beast Scripture in advance, I’m afraid he’ll be distracted and delay.” He paused for a moment and continued, “Do you think it will affect him if Qingling’s in the same hall as him?”

Perfected Yu said helplessly, “Hall Master, I don’t agree with this. I hope that this will be the only time.”

Hall Master Dan Hai stood up and looked in the direction of the side hall. Suddenly, he said in a low voice, “Qingling is your daughter and also my disciple. However, this time, nurturing Talisman Master Shen is of great importance. It also concerns the future of my Dan Hai Hall. Not to mention Qingling, even 1 will pay when I need to.”

Perfected Yu fell silent. He didn’t argue. However, he was still unwilling in his heart, yet there were some things that he could not control. Because the overall situation in the hall surpassed everything.

“Don’t worry. With you and me here, it’s difficult for that Talisman Master Shen to do anything inappropriate. Moreover, letting Qingling be in the same hall as him is also to increase our relationship.”

Perfected Yu slowly said, “I understand.”

Hall Master Dan Hai could hear the dissatisfaction in his words, but he did not care. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, “How long do you think he can outline the strange beast’s hoof talisman diagram?”

“Within three to five days, perhaps.”

Perfected Yu didn’t mention Qingling again and said in a low voice, “The outline of the Talisman Beast Diagram mainly tests the penmanship of a Talisman Master. Apart from being talented in talisman scriptures, this Talisman Master Shen also has high attainments in ordinary talisman Dao. I heard from his Dao Protector, Perfected Pei, that he can already make a fourth-grade talisman.”

The Talisman Beast Scripture was important. However, the ordinary Dao of Talismans was equally crucial. It is the foundation and the root of everything. Without the immersion and experience of ordinary Talisman Daoism, the Talisman Beast Scripture was nothing.

However, if the core skill geniuses of the headquarters could study the scripture, it would be easier for them to cultivate ordinary skills.

“What about the third volume’s beast form?” Hall Master Dan Hai asked again.

Perfected Yu couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile. “Hall Master, many fellow daoists in the headquarters are discussing it now. There are even speculations that Talisman Master Shen can comprehend the final beast form of the strange beast’s hoof and claw diagram in about seven months, but who can say for sure?

“If one wants to comprehend it as soon as possible, they still have to go to the Beast Scripture Pavilion. May I know what the arrangements of the Mountain Fire Hall are?”

Hall Master Dan Hai thought for a moment and said, “The opportunity to comprehend the Beast Scripture Pavilion is precious. Although the main hall has given him three additional times, don’t forget that he still has to cultivate the Puppet Beast Scripture. Therefore, I’ve discussed this with Fellow Daoist Shan Huo. We’ll enter once a year and see the progress of the Talisman Beast Scripture. Then, we’ll decide if we should leave a spot for the Puppet Beast Scripture.”

In the side hall.

Shen Ping looked at the drawing of the strange beast’s hooves and claws outlined in the air. His mind was already immersed in the Life Divine Talisman in his sea of consciousness. After hooking it, his divine sense penetrated the jade token space. Then, he faced the hooves and claws of the strange beast in the trial assessment space.

He only used four hours to complete the second volume of the strange beast horn.

And the difficulty of the third volume was indeed high.

The main reason was that the hooves and claws seemed to be an important attack area of the strange beast. The patterns on the scales were very complicated. Even if he copied it, Shen Ping kept failing.

Fortunately, he had the experience of studying the new Talisman Beast Diagram and the comprehension of the green talisman letter. Otherwise, he would not know where to start.

Time passed slowly. The four hours that had never passed quickly arrived. Shen Ping had never succeeded in copying the talisman scripture even once. He did not care about this at all. In any case, with the Life Divine Talisman, he had a huge advantage. There was no need to be anxious.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, when are you free to have another exchange?” It was five in the evening when Shen Ping ended the copying and saw that Perfected Yu had yet to return. His thoughts instantly arose as he looked at Yu Qingling and asked with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, 1 don’t have any doubts about my cultivation recently…”

Shen Ping interrupted him and said with a faint smile, “Fellow Daoist Yu, you really don’t have it?”

Meeting that fixed gaze, Yu Qingling hurriedly lowered her head and said weakly via voice transmission, “Yes.”

Shen Ping sent a voice transmission. “I still want to help Fellow Daoist Yu resolve your worries and difficulties. It would be best if I could see more clearly!”

“No, you can’t do that…” Yu Qingling hurriedly shook her head. Her elegant and quiet face was flushed red.

Shen Ping asked, “What can 1 do?”

“I—I don’t know.”

“This… 1 can choose not to watch it. As long as I can come into close contact with it, I believe I can help Fellow Daoist Yu better.”

Yu Qingling had yet to reply when footsteps sounded at the entrance of the hall. “Talisman Master Shen, your cultivation is over today. Come back tomorrow!”

“Yes!” Shen Ping stood up and left.

After the figure left, Perfected Yu looked at her daughter and said softly, “Qingling, did Talisman Master Shen communicate with you before?”

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Shen is just asking about cultivation.”

“That’s good. You can communicate with him more in the future.”

Three days later, Perfected Yu asked Qingling as usual, and the answer he received was a simple exchange. However, he looked at the jade table and asked, “Qingling, has Talisman Master Shen tried to make the Talisman Beast Diagram before?”

“No.”

Perfected Yu frowned slightly. Three days had passed since he taught Shen Ping the drawing of the strange beast’s hooves and claws. If it was four hours a day, it would be twelve hours. According to his judgment, Shen Ping should be able to successfully make it, unless he did not study it after returning to the Mountain Fire Hall.

Another two days passed.

There were still no abandoned talismans on the jade table, nor were there any residual fluctuations of power outlined by the Talisman Scripture.

This made Perfected Yu and Hall Master Dan Hai unable to sit still.

They personally asked Pei Huoyu through Hall Master Shan Huo and learned that Shen Ping had indeed not comprehended the third volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture when he returned to the Fire Spirit Hall. Instead, he would occasionally make puppets. Perfected Yu immediately felt a trace of dissatisfaction.

“This can’t continue. Comprehending the Talisman Beast Scripture is a huge matter. We can’t let it waste time. I suggest that his wife, concubine, and Dao companions be transferred to another side hall to cultivate. Also, Qingling can’t continue to stay in the side hall with him. This Talisman Master Shen is really too lousy at controlling himself. After all, he has only cultivated for a short period of time!”

Hall Master Shan Huo shook his head hesitantly. “This is indeed a problem, but Talisman Master Shen and his wife and concubines are very loving. If we forcefully break up, I’m afraid Talisman Master Shen will have complaints!”

“I’ll tell him tomorrow.” Perfected Yu’s attitude was firm..
