Silver Moon reprimanded.

"You're right, I'll listen to you, okay?" Shen Wang didn't argue about who was worth it.

"Good to know, once you receive the reward, you better speed up. In twenty days, the Sixth Prince will wed Molan, and hold the ceremony for joining as Dao companions. You'd best show some results by then."

Silver Moon said with an air of authority.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going to study this life-shortening Divine Technique to see how it shortens life."

Shen Wang shrugged, showing little interest in the task.

He said, "Xing'Er, make tea for this lady."

Silver Moon turned and left without lingering in Shen Wang's courtyard.

Xing'Er peeked cautiously and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of being hit, speaking to Princess Yin Yue like that, husband?"

"Afraid of what? No matter how beautiful she is, she's not my master, and I'm not afraid of him."

Shen Wang didn't care.

"Hehe, husband, Princess Yin Yue is known for her coldness, yet she wasn't too stern with you. Seems like special treatment," Bai Yu laughed.

"Maybe she likes me,"

Shen Wang teased, "I'll try to have her as your little sister in the future."

The two women smiled, finding Shen Wang interesting, as people rarely dared to speak so boldly, especially when it concerned the princess, whose talent and power were top-notch.

After joking with the two women on duty for a while, Shen Wang returned to his Cultivation Room and took out the gray Jade Scroll.

He carefully sensed the item, the touch was extremely cold, ghostly, as if it was dredged up from the dark Land of the Nine Netherworld.

"Ghost Dao Technique, cultivate it to become a ghost? So it's about life shortening; if you become a ghost, your lifespan is already spent."

Shen Wang muttered, couldn't help but laugh, without looking inside, he could roughly guess the specific situation.

After the inspection, ensuring there was no problem, his Divine Thought probed into it.

"Ghost Shadow Step, a secondary step technique from the Nine Nether Demon Technique, graded as Divine Ability Tier Four; fully mastered, one's body becomes like a ghost shadow, swift as a ghost spirit, also capable of transforming into a hundred ghosts, elusive and difficult to lock onto and track.

The technique itself condenses Nine Nether Yin Qi for cultivation, the effect is best when driven by Yin Evil-type Techniques, if hoping for quick mastery, one can contact ghosts to comprehend, absorbing Ghostly Killing Qi. This method will shorten a living person's life, remember that."

Shen Wang browsed the introduction, finding it quite good.

His Tai Chi Yin Yang Scripture cultivates Yin and Yang Qi, the Yin Qi within can undoubtedly drive this Divine Technique.

As for the life-shortening influence, not to say his Life Force is indeed strong, the most crucial thing about life shortening is conditional.

That's because it's about absorbing life-damaging Ghostly Killing Qi for quick mastery; if he doesn't absorb it, naturally, he won't have a shortened lifespan.

"Silver Moon must think it challenging for me to cultivate such a Fourth-Grade Divine Technique and that I'd resort to shortcuts, inevitably shortening my life, little does she know I have a system and can earn experience through it."

Shen Wang mused, his Body Technique could be upgraded through his system.

Even if it's a Tier Four Divine Ability.

The Tier Four here can also mean Fourth-Grade, but it's different from an Array Master, a unique classification for Divine Techniques,

Divine Ability Tier Four corresponds to the fourth tier in Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul.

The corresponding magic level is Top-grade Magic, the difference is Divine Techniques are more about using the body to invoke the Power of Heaven and Earth, while magic mostly operates through Sealing and Spiritual Telekinesis to exert power.

This level of Divine Technique is already quite advanced for Shen Wang; he continued browsing, needing to ponder for a long time to understand it.

The Jade Scroll contained not only a written introduction but illustrations.

The images depicted a black figure moving, flashing to another place, the figure elusive and unpredictable, in terms of speed and flexibility it was top-notch, surpassing the Celestial Wind Step he had seen before.

"Even though it's from Evil Demons and Outsiders, once cultivated successfully, its power won't be lacking."

Shen Wang thought, studying the recorded contents thoroughly, then after roughly memorizing them, he got up to continue his Gu Raising and Poison Testing for the day.

Along the way, he ran into Yun Lingshu, whose complexion had recovered its rosy hue but whose eyes still appeared vacant and dim, as if she had lost her soul and hope.

He had confirmed that this woman was violated by the Sixth Prince, who directly stripped her Essence Cultivation, causing her Ninth Grade Golden Core to vanish, her realm slipping to Foundation Establishment.

The most dreadful part was Yun Lingshu could neither seek death nor control her own fate.

Meanwhile, after Song Huirui of the Sixth Prince absorbed her cultivation, he had been in seclusion cultivating, digesting her power, his cultivation was bound to advance further then.

Watching Yun Lingshu leave vacantly, Shen Wang's expression remained calm.

He could barely handle his own problems, having no time to pity this woman.

"Such a proud daughter of heaven becoming someone else's plaything, her essence stolen, cultivation regressed, her heart turning to ash is normal. However, seeing the Celestial Travel Sect having no one come to her aid indicates they're crushed utterly."

Shen Wang thought about the situation of the Celestial Travel Sect, feeling little concern.

Having been an Outer Disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect for just a few years, it was impossible for him to help now.

Reaching the Gu Raising Room, Shen Wang continued cultivating the second batch of Gu Insects.

Several days later, Shen Wang was outside catching live creatures for poison testing, as Chen Xian caught them, Shen Wang practiced the newly acquainted Ghost Shadow Step.

His figure was becoming indistinct, completely invisible in the night, truly like a ghost spirit for a moment.

He traversed the jungle, obstructing neither by grass nor woods, sometimes his body could pass through very narrow places, with speed growing more rapid, easily surpassing the Wolf Step he practiced back in the day.

Comparing speed, how could a wolf be faster than a ghost?

Practicing overnight, Shen Wang's Step Technique realm improved somewhat, allowing swift speed through the forest; if it were an open area for straight-line movement, the speed would be even faster.

At daylight, three remnants sprang from the forest carrying wisps of black airflow, then reformed into one Shannon beside Chen Xian, who had been waiting after capturing live creatures.

"Not bad, this step technique is genuinely good."

Shen Wang praised, beginning to feel grateful that Silver Moon found such a powerful Step Technique for him,

the name of the technique may sound ordinary, but its displayed power aptly matched its name, aside from speed, during movement it could also project multiple ghost shadows, making it hard to lock on whether for evading attacks or assaulting others, inevitably bolstering his own strength considerably.

"If only I could go back now to upgrade this step technique."

Shen Wang mused, the reward for the Body Technique required him to run around for his pregnant wife; this nearby area didn't provide any rewards, only returning would.

"The Sixth Prince is in seclusion now, and Yu Province isn't far from the Kunyu Mountain Range. Perhaps I could find an excuse with Silver Moon to give it a try."

As Shen Wang pondered, returning to Jade Silkworm Valley, he actively sought out Silver Moon.

She was cultivating in a much more luxurious side hall, and on seeing Shen Wang looking for her, she instinctively frowned, "If you're seeking me, there must be nothing good."

"The nearby live creatures are running out; I need to go to a further place to catch some."

Shen Wang replied, "Telling you to avoid looking like I'm escaping."

"Just for this?"

Silver Moon asked in return.

"What else? Flirting with you?"

Shen Wang countered.

"Scram, as far as you want to flee, I'm not afraid of your eight pregnant wives and children being put to death, not afraid of the God-Banning Curse making your soul perish, so feel free to escape."

Silver Moon wasn't worried about Shen Wang running away; his clansmen, wives, and his own life were in their hands, what's there to fear?

"As long as you have no objections, I might travel a bit further, maybe catch a few demons to test the Gu King's poison."

Shen Wang purposely mentioned because while he worked for Silver Moon, distancing himself would likely cause the Sixth Prince to sense and query Silver Moon when he noticed.

By then, Silver Moon only needed to say he left for the mission, preventing much trouble.

"The Demon-Banning Guard has Foundation Establishment Level prisoners for testing the Gu King's poison."

Silver Moon said coldly.

"That's too wasteful, I'll catch little demons instead."

Shen Wang shook his head, thinking for a moment, then said, "The antidote is already reduced to four types. I estimate it will soon shorten to two, prepare yourself mentally, don't blame me for not doing my best then."

"Two types?"

Silver Moon pondered for a moment, "Barely acceptable, just achieve it first."

"Having your word is enough."

Shen Wang turned and left, returning to Kunyu Mountain that night under the pretext of capturing creatures for poison testing.

He wasn't afraid of anyone tracking him. If anyone dared follow, he wouldn't hesitate to kill.
