Shen Ping nodded. Ling Yu’er seemed to have thought of something as her cherry-red lips opened wide. “Brother Shen has broken through to the Star Rank?”

“It’s just the Star Rank. What’s so difficult about it?!”

“Brother Shen is so powerful. I knew it would be right to follow Brother Shen.” Ling Yu’er was extremely excited. This was a Star Rank cultivator! Legend had it that the expert could start off as a general in charge of guarding the city. Furthermore, they could continuously pa.s.s down their inheritance to aristocratic families for more than 500 years. Her biggest goal was only to become a general.

“As long as you work hard to improve, I believe you can also reach the Star Rank.” Shen Ping instilled chicken soup into her.

Ling Yu’er nodded her head repeatedly, her face filled with excitement. “As long as I follow Big Brother Shen, I’ll be able to improve.”

This girl was really smart. No wonder she could be an Immortal King before she reincarnated. Therefore, he carefully checked the concentration of the bloodline in her body. In just half a year, she had advanced to the late-stage of the third rank. This speed was not slow. It had to be known that the other genius students of the same rank as her had not even reached the middle-stage of the third rank.

Moreover, from level three to level four, genius students generally had to endure for four to five years.

“By the way, Brother Shen, I heard from Li Yi and Ji Yun that many students from the academy want to go out with Sister Nishang to hunt demons, but the three generals didn’t agree. Some of these students have long exceeded their age, but they haven’t had any missions. The demons are rampant now, and there are quite a number of them. I wonder why the generals are suppressing them.”

If students wanted to improve quickly, partic.i.p.ating in demon hunting was the best way. The risk was great, but if they acc.u.mulated experience in one demon hunt, not only could they obtain money, but they could also obtain rewards from the Demon Suppression Division.

Shen Ping knew that it was nothing more than to suppress them and grind down their spirit. Then, with a little roping in, they would be loyal.

This method was too common. It has been since ancient times. After all, nurturing these guys was not very helpful to the general. Only by recruiting them as his subordinates would he spend energy and resources. Just like Ling Yu’er. If she hadn’t taken the initiative to improve, even with her 10 special physiques, she wouldn’t have been able to obtain Shen Ping’s help so quickly. “You mean you want me to help?”

Ling Yu’er nodded. “My relationship with them is alright. If Big Brother Shen helps, they will definitely be willing to follow Big Brother Shen in the future and become your subordinates. Right now, the Dynasty’s control over the various prefectures is not as good as before. Coupled with the demons, heretics, and evil sects, it’s very likely that there will be chaos. We have to make preparations early.”

Shen Ping couldn’t help but glance at her. He didn’t expect this girl to have such foresight. Without a certain amount of experience, she wouldn’t be able to see through the world’s situation. Most of them were in the situation and didn’t know the true colors. “Choose a few with good potential. In the future, they’ll go hunting with you. If General Hong asks about it, just say that I arranged it.” “Okay.”

Late at night, Shen Ping did not stay overnight in the small courtyard. Instead, he came to the wilderness and sat cross-legged in midair. He activated his Devour talent. Instantly, the power of the stars sprinkled down by the stars surged towards him like a tide. His body was like a whale swallowing, absorbing it crazily.

In the past six months, he would cultivate every two days. His bloodline power was improving very quickly. The wood bloodline that had just appeared was about to open its acupoints and break through to the Star Rank. His lightning bloodline had broken through five acupoints. If he broke through two more, he would be able to advance to the middle stage of the Star Rank.

Boom.

The absorption and conversion of the ma.s.sive amount of star power immediately made the wood bloodline surge. Without much guidance, it automatically attacked the nodes and acupuncture points in the bloodline.

Shen Ping was already familiar with this process. There was no bottleneck at all. Several hours later, it was easily broken through. The wood-attribute successfully broke through to the Star Rank. Just as he was feeling the power of the bloodline, the acupoints of the two bloodlines were faintly connected, forming a star map.

Shen Ping could not help but be stunned. He looked up at the stars in the sky and suddenly understood. Could it be that the bloodline in his body was hiding a huge opportunity? Moreover, it required multiple elements?

He recalled the many books he had read. It seemed that there had been a top expert with five bloodlines in this world before. He had suppressed this world for a full 10,000 years, but he had still died in the river of time.

The rest were at most three types of bloodlines.

From the looks of it, he might have to possess all the power of the bloodline and be able to complete the incomplete star map. For others, this was very difficult and almost impossible. Back then, the peak expert did not have all the bloodlines. However, it was not difficult for Shen Ping.

“There’s no hurry. I’ll find some outstanding women with potential to try in the future.”

He was not the kind of person who would not recognize anyone just because he pulled up his pants.

The next morning, Shen Ping went to the Demon Suppression Division to check in and prepared to return to his residence. As a general, he basically does not have to take action. Usually, he came to the Demon Suppression Division to pa.s.s the time. The other generals still needed to spend most of their time cultivating, but he did not need to. Two hours of devouring and refining the power of stars and other natural treasures was enough.

As soon as he reached the entrance, General Chen caught up with him and invited him to a famous money-squandering cave in the prefecture capital, the Floral Moon House.

The girls here were alluring, enchanting, pure, and dignified. They were cold, arrogant, and charming. They had all kinds of personalities to serve. Moreover, they sold their skills but not their bodies. Of course, that was only for other customers. For customers such as generals, lieutenants, and prefects, they had to work hard.

Seeing General Chen’s actions, ShenPingknewthat the other party was a sentimental person, but before the latter could speak, he raised his wine gla.s.s and said, “If you want to rope me in, you can forget about it. I’m only interested in cultivation and nothing else.”

General Chen was speechless. “Lord Shen, since you’re so obsessed with cultivation, you should know that you need a cultivation technique to break through to the Star Rank, right?”

“Lord Chen, you don’t have to worry about this.” Shen Ping drank his wine and glanced at the girls around him. “Let them go.” Although their figures were not bad, he was not interested in their fragrant lips. He had no choice. His taste was very high now.

General Chen had no choice but to say, “Lord Shen, I won’t hide it from you. I’m afraid the world is going to change. The dynasty is gradually losing its restrictions on the places. Soon, the guardians of the various states will completely control the places. At that time, be it resources, cultivation techniques, or treasures, the guardians will have the final say. You don’t ask for cultivation techniques, but you need treasures and resources. Moreover, when that time comes, no one will be able to protect themselves.”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “In that case, General Chen has a guardian behind him?”

“That’s right. Behind me is the guardian of the prefecture capital, Guardian Jin, as well as the support of the prestigious clans in the prefecture capital and the prefecture capital. As long as Lord Shen is willing to join, you will definitely be able to become the guardian. It might even be possible for you to go up another level.”

General Chen’s words moved even himself. Unexpectedly, Shen Ping was uninterested. “We’ll see when the time comes. Drink, drink.”

This little episode did not affect Shen Ping’s mood, but it did give him a reminder. The increase in the number of refugees in the prefecture capital was an obvious sign of chaos. From the historical trajectory in the past, it would be completely chaotic in another hundred years.

He was not surprised. Reincarnation did not allow a large number of Beast Spirits to enjoy life here and experience a second life. All opportunities had to be found in the turmoil. Only in this era of great compet.i.tion would all kinds of changes occur.

“Cults, demons, aristocratic families, and hidden schemers… I don’t know who will have the last laugh, but it has nothing to do with me. No, it has something to do with me. I have to confirm if my guess is correct. I have to see if the star map of the acupuncture points is a real opportunity!”

Shen Ping thought about it seriously and felt that his strength was still not enough. The Great Xia Dynasty had been established for a thousand years, so there must be many old monsters. These guys were stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Their strength was not simple. At the very least, they had bloodline cultivation above the Star Rank.

“I’d better stay in the prefectural city for now. I’ll wait until I reach the late Star Rank before going to the continent’s capital.”
