He changed the subject, looked at Gu Sheng, with a touch of appropriate confusion.
"However, Gu seemed puzzled earlier as to why he couldn’t shake Bingyu? Did Gu think Bingyu is also a Body Cultivation practitioner?"
Gu Sheng was noncommittal, just looking at him.
Tantai Bingyu chuckled lightly, shook his head, and took out a seemingly simple, subtly warm white Jade Talisman from his bosom, explaining.
"Bingyu is not a Body Cultivation practitioner. What I relied on earlier was this ’Solid Body Spirit Talisman,’ personally refined by my mysterious uncle."
He held the Jade Talisman in the palm of his hand and continued.
"This talisman has no offensive capabilities. Its sole function is that the wearer can possess absolute defensive strength comparable to the Great Success Golden Body level. However, there are two limitations.
Firstly, it can only passively withstand attacks, unable to be used for active attack or movement; secondly, to activate this talisman, it requires the consumption of one drop of Venerable Realm Essence Blood every half month as an energy source."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with a hint of understanding; it was all due to external aid.
He reached out to take the ’Solid Body Spirit Talisman,’ and upon touching it, he immediately felt the countless intricate runes and energy circuits contained within, the structure so complex and mysterious, far exceeding any Magic Artifact he had seen before.
Attempting to perceive with his strong spiritual power and understanding of Artifact Refining and Arrays, he felt his Sea of Consciousness slightly swell, accompanied by a faint stinging sensation! This wasn’t an attack but the overwhelming complexity of information contained within the runes, making it difficult for him to fully decipher in a short time given his current state!
’Such exquisite Artifact Refining technique! The person who refined this talisman possesses skill in Artifact Refining and Arrays that is truly extraordinary!’ Gu Sheng was secretly amazed, developing a deeper interest in Tantai Xuefei’s mysterious uncle.
He calmly returned the Jade Talisman to Tantai Bingyu and complimented him.
"Your uncle’s methods are extraordinary."
Tantai Bingyu accepted the talisman, carefully put it away, with a smile of pride on his face, then looked at Gu Sheng to inquire.
"Gu, now that you first arrived in Tianyuan Emperor City, do you have any important matters at hand? If not, how about Bingyu hosts you for a few drinks at the ’Drunken Star Tower’? Firstly, it’s a token of thanks from several sisters, and secondly, to welcome Gu Sheng."
He paused, revealing a smile that all men understand, slightly flirtatious, lowered his voice, and said.
"Moreover, I’ve heard lately there is a concubine from the Drunken Star Tower who’s just come out, proficient in every art, and her allure surpasses all in the city. If Gu is interested, we can go together to appreciate this."
Before Gu Sheng could answer, he heard Tantai Xueling’s cool voice through a transmission.
"Don’t go! Bingyu’s speech is elegant, but his mind... sometimes doesn’t work well, his thoughts are all over the place.
That Drunken Star Tower may be a luxurious place, but it’s a mixed bag. If you want to drink, there are plenty of fine wines in the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall. Why go to such a place?"
Gu Sheng was not particularly interested in this so-called oiran either. Upon hearing this, he shook his head at Tantai Bingyu and refused in a calm tone.
"Bingyu’s kind offer is appreciated.
However, I still have two disciples with me. Going to such a place might lead them astray, so I’d rather not."
As he spoke, he gestured towards Gu Yuanyuan and Qidiao Yaoyao beside him.
Tantai Bingyu then formally looked at Gu Yuanyuan and Qidiao Yaoyao, evaluating the two young women, especially sensing the unusual Spiritual Body aura from Gu Yuanyuan and the faint Gu Worm fluctuation within Qidiao Yaoyao, his eyes flashed with understanding.
He smiled slightly, and with no visible action, two inches-long, entirely white, sharp demon beast teeth with a faintly wild and fierce aura appeared in his hand out of thin air.
These two beast teeth floated lightly to Gu Yuanyuan and Qidiao Yaoyao.
"Meeting the two niece disciples for the first time, it’s just a small token, not much of a tribute."
Tantai Bingyu’s tone was gentle, explaining.
"These are the fangs of the ’Sky Splitting Leopard’ at the ’Peak of Heavenly King Realm’, within which a complete Sky Splitting Leopard Beast Soul is sealed.
Just drop a drop of your own Essence Blood to awaken it, enough to last the time of an incense stick burning, sufficient to handle most dangerous situations, and potentially life-saving in critical moments."
Gu Yuanyuan and Qidiao Yaoyao looked at the powerful beast teeth before them and then at Gu Sheng, feeling a bit at a loss.
Gu Sheng’s eyes also flashed with surprise. A complete Beast Soul sealed within beast fangs from a Peak Heavenly King Realm demon beast, made into a one-time life-saving tool, its value is undoubtedly considerable! Tantai Bingyu was indeed generous.
He nodded slightly at Gu Yuanyuan and Qidiao Yaoyao.
Only then did the two women happily accept the beast teeth, bowing respectfully.
"Thank you, senior, for the generous gifts!"
Gu Sheng also cupped his hands at Tantai Bingyu.
"Bingyu, you are too generous."
Tantai Bingyu waved his hand indifferently, laughing.
"Crude external items, making friends with someone like Gu Sheng and meeting two niece disciples with unlimited potential is worth it, worth it!"
After some conversation and gift-giving, the atmosphere among everyone became much more harmonious.
Under Tantai Bingyu’s guidance, the group headed towards the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall in Tianyuan Emperor City.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Hall of Tianyuan Emperor City, its stature and grandeur, is far beyond comparison to the branch in Wanxiang Imperial City.
It was a magnificent palace soaring ten stories high, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, entirely built of a rare white Spirit Jade, its surface flowing with a faint glow, countless mysterious runes faintly visible on the walls, exuding an ancient and powerful aura. The cultivators coming and going at the gates were also generally much more formidable, highlighting this place’s status in Tianyuan Emperor City.
