Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife Chapter 136: Fallen into a Pit

Chapter 136: Fallen into a Pit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Half a month later, Shen Ping ended his meditation and cultivation in the quiet room of the spirit pool.

The cultivation speed of the top-notch Foundation Establishment cultivation technique, the Qianyuan Scripture, was indeed far beyond his expectations. In the past, it would take him two days to circulate the Minor Circulation, or at least a day and a half. Now that he had changed this cultivation technique, he only needed fifteen to sixteen hours to circulate a Minor Circulation.

With the help of the metal and wood spiritual roots and medicinal pills, he could feel his magic power increase almost every ten days. This efficiency was very good.

Psst.

A clear light flashed. A scripture appeared in his hand.

Ever since the virtual frame transformed into a purple crown, he could obtain comprehension of the Dao of Talismans every time he dual cultivated with his wife. After nearly two months of acc.u.mulation, Shen Ping had a deeper understanding of the Dao of Talismans. This feeling was similar to the comprehension of the scene under the golden light when he raised his level of the Dao of Talismans.

As the scroll opened, he began to read again. There were no words or drawings in the scripture. There were only complicated spirit patterns that gathered and changed continuously. If one did not have a deep understanding of the Dao of Talismans, not to mention understanding it, just a few glances would cause one to feel dizzy.

Shen Ping’s Talisman Dao was at the high-grade Level Two. There was no discomfort in reading. A moment pa.s.sed, he put away the scripture and stood up with a sigh. He still could not understand.

However, he was not discouraged. After all, there were still more than ten years before he went to the headquarters. As long as he worked hard day and night, he would definitely gain something.

It was already 3 pm when he left the quiet room. The sun was blazing. The spiritual fog above the small courtyard had become much fainter.

At this moment, Pei I luoyu walked in from the entrance. Shen Ping could not help but be a little surprised.

“I am the core of the Mountain Fire Hall. A while ago, 1 applied for an item from the hall. Here, this is it.” As he spoke, Pei Huoyu handed over the green scripture. A smile appeared on her valiant face. “The scripture given to you by the headquarters after the a.s.sessment is not difficult for you. There are a total of six volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra. From the beginning, each volume is more difficult than the last. You are in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If you can successfully study the first two volumes in these 15 years, I believe your future achievements will be extraordinary.”

Shen Ping’s lips twitched. There was no difficulty…

He looked at the green scripture. He stammered awkwardly, “S-Senior Pei, I’m afraid I don’t have time to cultivate. You should know that I’ve been meditating and cultivating these days. I’ve been making talismans and accompanying my wife and concubines. I only have time occasionally.”

Pei I luoyu was stunned and looked at Shen Ping in surprise. As a Talisman Master, shouldn’t seeing such a scripture be like obtaining a treasure?! “Fellow Daoist Shen. This is the Green Talisman Sutra. It’s very precious to Talisman Masters!” She could not help but emphasize it.

Shen Ping was speechless. Of course, he knew that the things in the headquarters were very precious. However, the key was that he had yet to even understand the starting spirit rune of the scripture that the headquarters had given him. Wasn’t it a waste of time to study an even higher scripture now?

Moreover, after accepting it, if this Perfected Pei asked about the progress every few days, how should he reply?

“I understand Senior Pei’s good intentions. It’s just that I really can’t find time to cultivate. Why don’t 1 leave it with Senior Pei first? When I’m free in the future, I can cultivate and study it.” Shen Ping cupped his hands.

Pei Huoyu stared at Shen Ping and frowned slightly. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you have accompanied your wife and concubines for too long every day. Their cultivation levels are low and are of no help to you. 1 know that you like women, but you can’t immerse yourself day and night. These fifteen years are your most critical period. Do you understand?”

She had already said so much.

Shen Ping sighed helplessly and could only brace himself to say, “Senior Pei, actually, I can’t understand the scripture. If 1 practice the Green Talisman Scripture again, it will take a lot of time.”

“How is that possible? You clearly…” Pei Huoyu stopped mid-sentence. Seeing that Shen Ping was sincere and did not seem to be lying, she frowned. “You really don’t understand?”

Shen Ping nodded seriously.

“That shouldn’t be the case!” Pei Huoyu could not figure it out. If it were any other D-rank core member, she would not have such doubts at all. The scripture was simple at the beginning, but it was more difficult at the middle and bottom. However, the person in front of her was an examinee who was ranked in the top 30 of the A-rank.

To reach such a level, it was not difficult to study the first half of the Green Talisman Scripture. How could he not understand!

Wait a minute…

She seemed to have thought of a possibility. If he was born with a Talisman Dao Mystique. Although such a situation was very rare, it had once happened in the Zhongsheng Continent!

Thinking of this, Pei Huoyu’s face turned ugly. If it was really as she had guessed, then this Talisman Master Shen’s potential was very ordinary. “Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t worry. It’s normal to not understand it at the beginning. Just study it for a few more days. As for the Green Talisman Scripture, 1’11 give it to you.”

She walked into the quiet room. She sat cross-legged on the futon. Pei Huoyu’s emotions were in a mess. She did not ask Shen Ping directly if he was born with a Talisman Dao Mystique. After all, every cultivator had their own secrets. However, if he really could not understand, the outcome was self-evident.

Being a Dao Protector, she needed to protect him to grow to the level of a Pseudo Nascent Soul. The candidate on the A-list was worth it for her to do this. However, relying on the Talisman Dao Mystique to be ranked on the A-list, although he could temporarily maintain an advantage, he would quickly be left behind by the other candidates.

“1 hope not!” Pei Huoyu let out a long sigh as an uncontrollable thought appeared in her heart. “I’m afraid I’ve fallen into a trap this time.”

Another five days of dull life pa.s.sed. In the private room on the second floor of the True Treasure Pavilion, Shen Ping and Chong Ji sat and sipped their tea.

“Talisman Master Shen. I’ve set the wine tasting banquet at the beginning of September. The specific list of invited cultivators is in the jade slip. Take a look.” Chong Ji said as he handed over the jade slip. Usually, he could just invite some good friends to his wine tasting banquet. But this time was different. There was Shen Ping. Many cultivators who heard about this were moved. Even the Golden Core guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion wanted an invitation.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Danxia Sect and the Acacia Faction who had not been able to partic.i.p.ate in the Foundation Establishment Banquet last time had also greeted him.

Chong Ji was only at the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. How could he dare to refuse? However, if there were too many invitations, it was inevitable that Shen Ping would be unhappy. Therefore, he asked Shen Ping out this time to discuss the invitation list.

Shen Ping glanced at the jade slip. It was just a wine tasting banquet. Yet the number of cultivators invited was almost comparable to the Foundation Establishment banquet.

Chong Ji’s straightforward voice sounded. “Talisman Master Shen, it’s really difficult for me to reject the Golden Core seniors among them. The other Foundation Establishment Fellow Daoists also have connections and some favors. If you think it’s too much, you can directly cross it out. I’ll give a reason to outsiders.”

Shen Ping knew that this was Guest Elder Chong’s personality. He pondered and said, “Forget it, let’s set it according to this. It’s just a wine tasting.”

Chong Ji smiled and cupped his hands. “Thank you. This time, 1 owe Talisman Master Shen a favor. If you need me in the future, just say it. Right, there’s something. Fairy Cai Shang of the Mystic Immortal Pavilion asked me to send you something.”

As he spoke, a colorful crystal appeared in his palm.

“Message stone. I’ve checked. It was not tampered. This kind of message stone is of higher quality. We Foundation Establishment Cultivators really can’t bear to use it.” He smiled and handed it to Shen Ping. Then, he stood up and bade farewell.

Shen Ping looked at the colorful crystals. Such items were sold in the True Treasure Pavilion, but they were very expensive. Other than being able to transmit sound, they could also transmit images through a certain special method. In a certain aspect, they were similar to jade slips.

With Fairy Cai Shang’s strength, even if she was famous in the Mystic Immortal Pavilion, she had to pay a considerable price to buy colorful crystals.

He shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, a clear light flashed and he put it into his spirit ring. He was not interested at all with what Fairy Cai Shang wanted to do with the message stone. He left the True Treasure Pavilion. He arrived at the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley.

Mu Jin was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard in a beautiful cloud-patterned dress. When she saw Shen Ping, her sweet face lit up with joy. “Talisman Master Shen.” She went forward and held Shen Ping’s arm.

Shen Ping took the opportunity to hug her slender waist and said with a smile, “There’s no need to be so distant in the future.”

He had been in a good mood recently. His wife, concubines, and

Dao-companions were all silver and above. There were no more ordinary frames. It was the same for Mu Jin. Even though he didn’t pay too much attention to her, he’d done it many times after all, so there was no need to be too harsh on the way she addressed him.

Stunned, Mu Jin reacted and said carefully, “H-Husband.”

“Say it a bit sweeter.”

“Husband-”

Her voice was seductive. Only then did Shen Ping nod in satisfaction. They arrived at the familiar bedroom. He had just turned around when he saw Mu Jin seemed to have tears in the corners of her eyes. She smiled sweetly and said, “Husband, I want to truly experience the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator today.”

As she spoke, she walked step by step to the edge of the bed. The clothes on her body had already quietly slipped off.

Soon, the two forks of the date tree slowly form a horizontal line. The straight shadow had winding arcs on both sides, as if it was filled with a special fragrance. A small boat was floating on the lake. As the waves swept over, it suddenly shook violently.

A long time pa.s.sed. Wrinkles appeared on the broken part of the small boat.

Looking at Mu Jin, who was sleeping soundly, Shen Ping shook his head gently. He still held back a little, or Mu Jin, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, would not be able to withstand it if he really revealed his strength. He walked out of the hail.

Yin Honglian, who was wearing a fiery red palace dress, stood in the small courtyard. When Shen Ping looked up, She said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Shen, since Fellow Daoist Mu can’t do it, let Honglian test your true strength!”

Shen Ping smiled calmly. “It seems that Fellow Daoist Honglian is ready. Please!”

As his voice fell, two figures had already flashed into the room..
