Chen Shurong hurriedly said, “Talisman Master Shen, if you have anything to ask, feel free to say it.”

Shen Ping was not in a hurry to say it. He first took a few steps in the small courtyard before saying, “Fellow Daoist Chen, do you know the Shen family of the Golden Sun Sect’s Moon Spring Peak?”

Chen Shurong was stunned and could not help but size up Shen Ping again. “1 indeed know about the Shen family of Moon Spring Peak. However, during the battle between the righteous and demonic sects, several Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Shen family died on the Jinzhou battlefield. Due to the lack of talent, they could only temporarily leave Moon Spring Peak and come to the Cloud Mountain Swamp to work with the branch sect to manage the mineral vein.

“Could it be that Talisman Master Shen came from—” Before she could finish speaking Chen Shurong noticed Shen Ping’s expression and she understood. But she couldn’t believe it.

Such an outstanding Talisman Dao genius had actually appeared among the Shen family members of the Golden Sun Sect’s Moon Spring Peak. Moreover, he had become a special-cla.s.s guest elder with an extremely high status in the True Treasure Pavilion.

Shen Ping said faintly, “Back then, the Golden Sun Sect came to the Cloud Mountain Swamp to explore. Due to my ordinary apt.i.tude, it was difficult for me to build my foundation, so I was sent over by the family.”

Chen Shurong remained silent. It was very dangerous to explore the Cloud Mountain Swamp. Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators would die if they were not careful, let alone those at the bottom of the Qi Refinement Realm. Although the Shen family’s actions were normal in the cultivation families in the sect, they had undoubtedly completely abandoned Shen Ping and left him to fend for himself.

Shen Ping’s voice continued, “Fortunately, 1 have a deep fate. As fate dictated, 1 had some opportunities in the Dao of Talismans, which is why 1 have today’s achievements. However, the Shen family has raised me after all. This time, 1 returned to Cloud Mountain Parlour to settle this favor.” He flipped his palm, and an azure spirit ring floated out.

Shen Ping looked at Chen Shurong and said, “There are several bottles of medicinal pills needed for the Qi Refinement realm in this storage ring, as well as Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment treasures. In addition, there are also my insights in the Dao of Talismans. Although it’s only at the second level, it’s enough for cultivators.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, I hope you can hand it over to the head of the Shen family on my behalf. You don’t have to tell them the exact reason.”

Chen Shurong hesitated and said, “Isn’t Talisman Master Shen afraid that 1 will swallow it privately?”

Shen Ping smiled calmly. “There is a special bloodline restriction on the surface of the storage ring. Only clansmen with the bloodline of the Shen family can open it. Other cultivators, even if they are Golden Core cultivators, will shatter the storage ring if they forcefully break it.”

Regarding these words, Chen Shurong had no doubts at all. She nodded seriously and said, “1 will definitely do what Talisman Master Shen asked!”

Shen Ping spread his hands and an exquisite jade bottle floated in his palm. Then, he waved his finger and the jade bottle floated in front of Chen Shurong. “This is a high-quality medicinal pill needed by Foundation Establishment Cultivators. It’s not cheap. With this pill, you can cultivate to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

“This matter is settled. Fellow Daoist Chen… Goodbye!”

With that, he turned around and left. However, before he walked out of the small courtyard, Chen Shurong’s voice sounded from behind. “Talisman Master Shen, will we meet again?”

“If fate allows it, we will.”

As his voice fell, Shen Ping had already disappeared. Chen Shurong felt a sense of loss. She knew very well that she would probably never see this Talisman Master again in her life. “If you miss some people, it’ll be forever.” A sigh sounded faintly in the courtyard.

At dawn the next day in the backyard hall of the True Treasure Pavilion, the Golden Core elders, deacons, and guest elders at the branch asked him to stay.

“It’s rare for Talisman Master Shen to come back. Why don’t you stay for a few more days?”

“That’s right. After all, Cloud Mountain Parlour was the place where Talisman Master Shen first cultivated!”

Listening to these words, Shen Ping shook his head. “Everyone, 1 still have something on and can’t stay here any longer. Please forgive me.”

They exchanged a few pleasantries. The other cultivators walked into the courtyard and left the s.p.a.ce in the hall for Shopkeeper Ding, Guest Elder Ruan, Guest Elder Luo, and the other cultivators who were familiar with Shen Ping.

“Back then, 1 was able to become a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion and have a stable cultivation life. It’s all thanks to you guys’ care. I’ll give these pills to you as a token of my appreciation.” Shen Ping took out a few exquisite jade bottles from his Light Ring and handed them over.

Guest Elder Ruan, Guest Elder Luo, and the others hesitated, feeling a little embarra.s.sed. Shopkeeper Ding smiled and said, “Since Talisman Master Shen is giving us, we’ll be thick-skinned and accept it.”

He took the lead and took the jade bottle. The other guest elders smiled and cupped their hands.

“By the way, Talisman Master Shen, there’s something I almost forgot.” Shopkeeper Ding seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead and took out a jade slip. “This was given to me by a female cultivator. She said that she’s an old friend of Fellow Daoist Shen.”

Shen Ping’s divine sense immediately seeped into the jade slip. There was no sound from the jade slip. Only a line of delicate words flickered. “d.a.m.ned old Talisman Master. Don’t think that I, Chen Ying, won’t be able to settle scores with you just because you’ve run away. Just you wait—A little demoness worth a Beauty Retaining Pill.”

The long-lost dusty memories opened. He seemed to have seen the demoness who often sat barefoot beside the wooden window in the small courtyard of Yunhe Alley. Her innocent voice sounded in his ears.

“Chen Ying.” Many memories surged into his mind. He could not help but smile. Over the years, even if he had regrets over the people he met and the things he encountered, there was no need to make up for it.

Because this was cultivation.

He looked up and looked at Shopkeeper Ding, the intention in his eyes growing stronger.

“Talisman Master Shen, goodbye!” Shopkeeper Ding smiled and cupped his hands. He knew that after this farewell, Talisman Master Shen would definitely rise with the wind in the future and soar 90,000 miles. To be able to get to know such a genius, he would have no regrets in his life.

Swoosh.

A silver-white light shot into the sky.

Cloud Mountain Parlour became smaller and smaller. He looked down at the houses below. Shen Ping’s gaze landed in the direction of Red Willow Alley. There seemed to be a talisman master buried on the table there. He slowly raised his head.

Two intersecting gazes converged. Then, they looked at each other and smiled.

Until the light left the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, w.a.n.g Yun, Yu Yan, Bai Yuying, Mu Jin, Luo Qing… They subconsciously looked back at the outline of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Their lips moved at the same time.

Cloud Mountain Parlour, it’s really goodbye this time..
