Yin Ting paused for a moment before she slowly said, “Since you can sense the power of the strange beast and give birth to a Beast Pattern Golden Core, you should know how powerful the strange beast is. In the various races, the more one can comprehend the power of the strange beast, the stronger they will be. Therefore, the various races call geniuses who can comprehend the power of the strange beast as beast spirit geniuses.

“There are also strong and weak Beast Spirit geniuses. Those who have just condensed a Beast Pattern Golden Core and have only comprehended a trace of the might of a strange beast can only be third-grade geniuses. For someone like me who has comprehended thirty percent of the might of a strange beast, I am a second-grade genius. If I can comprehend more than fifty percent, I will be a first-grade Beast Spirit genius. If I comprehend more than eighty percent, I will be a special-grade genius. Such a genius can suppress the prodigies of the current generation.

“Not only do the upper echelons of the various races value such a prodigy, but even the Strange Beast Gate is the same.” She suddenly lifted the lapel of her wrist. Shen Ping immediately noticed the beast pattern carving on her arm. “This carving is the mark of a strange beast. The more talented you are, the more obvious and complete the mark of the strange beast will be. The strange beast mark of a prodigy is almost complete and has various unbelievable effects. It can hide the heavenly secrets and is difficult to detect.

Shen Ping’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked again, “How do I obtain the mark

of a strange beast?”

The corners of Yin Ting’s lips under the veil revealed a smile, “It’s very simple. As long as you show the power of a strange beast in the Strange Beast Gate, it’s fine. I believe you’re not unfamiliar with the power of a strange beast. Since you humans can obtain a strange beast, you will definitely try to comprehend the power of a strange beast.”

Shen Ping was stunned. Then, he probed, “Fellow Daoist Yin, are you referring

to the concept of a strange beast?”

“Yes and no. The Concept of the Strange Beast is only one of them. Beast Form, Beast Skin, Beast Blood, and Beast Bone are four levels. The deeper one comprehends them, the more one can reveal the true concept of their level. Only then can one unleash the power of the Strange Beast!

Yin Ting said indifferently, “In this Strange Beast Gate, when Beast Spirit geniuses of the same cultivation level fight, other than relying on Beast Spirit Treasures, the most important thing is their comprehension of the power of strange beasts. It’s not that obvious in the third level of the underground palace, but I heard that in the Heavenly Palace, the strength in this aspect has a huge impact on the outcome of the battle.

“The strength of a Beast Spirit genius will also affect the ranking of the race. Our Winged Race, the Spirit Race, the Demon Race, and so on can suppress the prodigies of the current generation. Geniuses like them can already unleash the true power of strange beasts.”

As she spoke, there was yearning in her eyes.

Shen Ping smiled. He had really searched high and low for it, only to find it without any effort! It turned out that as long as he could comprehend the power of a strange beast, he could hide from the heavenly secrets.

If he had known, he would have focused on studying the Beast Scripture all these years! There was a virtual interface. He had a unique advantage in studying comprehension!

Yin Ting glanced at Shen Ping’s expression and couldn’t help but remind him, -Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t underestimate the comprehension of the power of strange beasts. A second-grade Beast Spirit genius like me also studied and comprehended for thousands of years before barely comprehending the level of beast skin and having 30% of the concept! Your bloodline compatibility is very low, and it’s even harder to comprehend…” Shen Ping nodded heavily and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist Yin, I understand! Next, he asked some other questions, such as why the beast spirit geniuses of the other races had immortal spirit stones on them.

Yin Ting told him everything she knew. This was because there were some special bewildering arrays in the underground palace. In such arrays, the immortal spiritual energy of the immortal spirit stones could allow cultivators to maintain a certain level of consciousness. Moreover, they could use the immortal spirit stones to set up ordinary array formations to resist the corrosion of the bewildering array and leave the bewildering array.

Other than the bewildering array, there were other environments that required immortal spirit stones.

Therefore, as long as one was a Beast Spirit genius, they would more or less carry a certain amount of immortal spirit stones on them. To ordinary cultivators, immortal spirit stones were precious and difficult to obtain. However, to Beast Spirit geniuses who were valued by various races, they were not precious.

After all, this thing was similar to spirit stones in the prosperous land of the Immortal Dao.

In the end, Shen Ping asked about the number of beast spirit geniuses of the various races. Regarding this question, Yin Ting vaguely replied with a few sentences. There were many beast spirit geniuses from the various races. The geniuses he had encountered in the Heaven Ascension Hall previously were actually the lowest third-grade geniuses.

Several days passed.

The small boat had already arrived at the edge of the Earth Arrow Magma. After going ashore, Shen Ping bowed. He said sincerely and gratefully, “Thank you for clearing my doubts, Fellow Daoist Yin. I will definitely remember your kindness.” As he spoke, he returned the strange stones and immortal spirit stones he had asked for previously. The information Yin Ting mentioned was really important to him.

“There’s no need to be polite. Even if I didn’t say those things, you would still know.” Yin Ting put away the strange stones and immortal spirit stones. “Alright, we’re not of the same race to begin with. We’ve experienced danger together this time and can be considered to have gotten to know each other. However, if we encounter each other next time…

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Ping smiled and said, “The next time we meet, I will definitely treat you to some good wine and delicacies of the human race.”

Yin Ting was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on her lips. “Is that so? Then I’ll wait and see.”

“Wait. Fellow Daoist, please wait!”

Yin Ting was speechless. “Fellow Daoist Shen, do you still have any other questions?”

Shen Ping laughed dryly. “It’s like this. I need some precious materials related to strange beasts. I wonder if I can trade with Fellow Daoist Yin in the future?” “Precious materials? Let’s hear it.”

Shen Ping immediately mentioned a pile of materials needed to refine Talisman Beast Diagrams, puppets, beast diagrams, and other derivative skills. These materials were very precious. Even the five continents and four seas would only have them regularly. When he left, there was not much in the main hall, so he did not carry much. If he wanted to study and comprehend next, he would definitely need such materials.

Yin Ting pondered for a moment. “These materials are indeed very precious. If Fellow Daoist Shen wants to trade, you have to pay a price! Strange stones and beast spirit treasures are fine.”

Shen Ping frowned slightly. The strange stone was an important resource. He still lacked it very much and could not use it to trade. As for the Beast Spirit Treasure, he could. At the moment, he had many extra ones on him. However, considering the long term, he hesitated and took out a complete Talisman Beast Diagram. “I wonder if I can use this talisman to trade?

Yin Ting took a look and was immediately attracted. The strange beast pattern on the talisman was lifelike, as if it was real. “This, this is… a strange beast talisman?”

Shen Ping nodded and smiled. “That’s right. Fellow Daoist Yin, you have good eyesight. This kind of talisman is unique to our human race. It has engraved the power of a strange beast in the talisman and can unleash a huge power!” Although the Talisman Beast Diagram was his trump card, that was the power of the fusion of Talisman Dao Mystique. The power of a single talisman was also strong, but it was much inferior to a Talisman Dao Mystique.

Seeing Yin Ting hesitate, Shen Ping gritted his teeth and activated the Talisman Beast Diagram.

Roar! As the Talisman Beast Diagram burned, the phantom of a huge strange beast slowly condensed, emitting a power that caused space to faintly freeze. Yin Ting’s eyes suddenly widened. “8o°/o of the might of a strange beast… H-how is this possible! No, it seems to be slightly weaker than the might of a real strange beast. However, it’s also unbelievable!

The purple and green soft armor on her chest kept rising and falling. She had long heard that humans were good at pills, talismans, artifacts, and various techniques. Now, it seemed that the rumors were true. They could actually incorporate the might of strange beasts into small talismans. Although they could not compare to the true power of eighty percent of strange beasts, they were still talismans after all. If they were used in critical battles, they would definitely be extremely effective.

“This was left behind by an Immortal Dao expert of our human race. How about it?” There was a hint of pride in Shen Ping’s tone.

Yin Ting looked at Shen Ping deeply. “We can trade! We’ll discuss the specific transaction situation after I get the materials.” Shen Ping nodded. Yin Ting bit the corner of her lips. “Fellow… Fellow Daoist Shen, I wonder if you can trade one now?”

Shen Ping smiled. “Fellow Daoist Yin, I’m sure you know the value of such a talisman very well. However, on account of the previous explanation, how about I ask you for 50 strange stones or 200 immortal spirit stones for a talisman?”

“too immortal spirit stones!” After Yin Ting finished speaking, she hurriedly explained, “1 don’t have much on me. Moreover, the elders of the Winged Race won’t give me too many immortal spirit stones.

Shen Ping frowned and said, “Alright, it’s only limited to this transaction. We have to use precious materials to trade next time!

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen..”
