Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife Chapter 93: A Small Matter

Chapter 93: A Small Matter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the private room, the fragrance of the spiritual tea filled the air.

Shopkeeper Ding had already left, but Shen Ping was still sitting on the wooden chair and thinking. In the past, his cultivation level was low and his level of contact was not high. He only knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill could increase the probability of building a foundation. Even if he failed, his life was rarely in danger.

Now that he had become a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion and lived in a small courtyard in Huiquan Alley, these changes undoubtedly increased his status imperceptibly. The channels of information he could obtain had broadened. In the past, Shopkeeper Ding would not have revealed these Foundation Establishment treasures to him.

“Second-grade guest elder. I’ll have to ask Shopkeeper Qu about the conditions for a Talisman Master to become a second-grade guest elder.” He took a sip of tea. Shen Ping stood up and left.

Since his talent in the Dao of Talismans had spread to a small extent, it was necessary to strengthen it and stabilize his status so that he could come into contact with more levels and information.

He returned to the small courtyard.

His cultivation life returned to normal. However, apart from making talismans, he spent more time making second-stage puppets. Compared to talismans of the same level, the income of selling puppets was higher. It was just that it was more difficult to make.

Every Foundation Establishment treasure was relatively expensive. Although he had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he had to prepare for Foundation Establishment now. Moreover, the more treasures there were, the better. Even if he did not need them in the future, he could prepare them for Yu Yan.

A month pa.s.sed just like that. He had lived in Qingyang City for half a year.

This morning, the sumptuous meal was finished.

Shen Ping felt energetic. He swept his gaze across his wife and concubines. They all had their own temperaments, especially after taking the Beauty Pill. Whether it was w.a.n.g Yun, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, or Yu Yan, their looks and skin were even more beautiful.

Speaking of the Beauty Pill, although this pill did not help one’s cultivation at all, it was indeed extraordinary after consuming it. After swallowing it, even he felt much younger and more confident.

“Husband, we’re going to set up the stall.” Bai Yuying dragged w.a.n.g Yun and said something before following Yu Yan out of the hall.

During this period of time, his wife and concubines would set up a stall in South City in their spare time to sell the high-grade talismans he usually made after he was tired. There were also some mid-grade puppet toys. Although Yu Yan was very surprised to know that he could make puppets, she did not probe further.

After all, after interacting intimately, she knew that her husband had opportunities.

“Come back early tonight.” He casually instructed them. In fact, even if he didn’t say it, his wife and concubines would return before five in the evening. They definitely wouldn’t delay too late.

Soon, only Shen Ping and Luo Qing were left in the hall.

“Husband,” Shen Ping was about to get up and go to the quiet room to meditate for a while when Luo Qing suddenly said, “It’s not that my physique can’t be resolved. Last time, when the Golden Drunken Spirit Fish b.u.mped into my arms, I remembered some things, including my bloodline physique.”

She lowered her head and continued calmly, “If I want to resolve it, I have to consume a spirit wine brewed by a rare treasure every month. In the Ze Country, this rare treasure is called Begonia Drunken Coral Fish. It’s very expensive.”

“How expensive is it?”

“A drop of spirit wine can rent this small courtyard for half a year.” Luo Qing looked up. “One drop a month. I have to drink this spirit wine for three years.”

Shen Ping quickly calculated in his heart. Resolving Luo Qing’s physique was equivalent to renting a small courtyard in Huiquan Alley for nearly twenty years. It was indeed very expensive.

However, compared to medicinal pills that could greatly extend one’s lifespan, the difference between rare treasures was not just a little. In this Xianxia world that fought with the heavens, one’s lifespan was often extremely precious. Many powerful cultivators who had reached the end of their lifespan, even if it was medicinal pills that could extend one’s life by a year, would go crazy and disregard all methods.

“When do you take it?”

“Before my bloodline erupts.”

Shen Ping swept his sleeves and smiled faintly. “It’s a small matter. Wait for me for five years.”

The cultivation speed of the top-grade metal and wood spiritual roots was extremely fast.

It did not take long for him to polish his spiritual energy to perfection. Once he built his foundation and his level in the Dao of Talismans increased, he would be able to make powerful high-grade Level 2 talismans. At that time, he would be able to earn more spirit stones.

A smile appeared in the corner of Luo Qing’s eyes. “Husband, Qing’er will serve you well tonight.”

Looking at her exquisite and graceful curves, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to mention this. Shen Ping could not help but secretly open the virtual frame. Indeed, her favorability had increased. He was only two points away from the limit of the ordinary virtual frame.

“I’ll wait.” He was overjoyed and walked towards the quiet room. It reached the limit of the virtual frame. The effect of dual cultivation every day would increase, and the lifespan he obtained would increase again.

Six hours of meditation ended.

Shen Ping unexpectedly received a message from Shopkeeper Qu. “Talisman Master Shen. That alchemist from North Spring Alley has refined the Snow Ganoderma Pill. If you need it, you can come to the True Treasure Pavilion.”

His eyes lit up and he quickly replied, “Shopkeeper Qu, please wait a moment.”

The effect of the Snow Ganoderma Pill was indeed not bad. The Snow Ganoderma Pill was one of the main contributors for Yu Yan to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement so quickly. Moreover, with the help of this pill, the feeling of dual cultivation multiplied. Most importantly, it could increase the number of immersions.

After tidying up a little, Shen Ping quickly arrived at the True Treasure Pavilion and exchanged a few pleasantries with Shopkeeper Qu. He waited for another guest before the three of them rushed to North Spring Alley.

On the way, Shopkeeper Qu reminded him, “Talisman Master Shen, remember not to say anything when you reach the Alchemy Room. If that alchemist has any arrangements, just watch quietly.”

Shen Ping nodded repeatedly. “Shopkeeper Qu, may I know the price of this Snow Ganoderma Pill?”

“Don’t worry. It won’t be 30% more expensive than the starting price of the Snow Ganoderma Pill at the auction.”

He breathed a sigh of relief. It was still bearable.

North Spring Alley was actually not far from Huiquan Alley, but it took twenty minutes to set off from the True Treasure Pavilion. However, this was the first time Shopkeeper Qu was leading him, so he knew a lot of rules. It would be much more convenient for him to visit in the future.

Although Shopkeeper Qu had mentioned it last time, he had only let him visit on his own. But now, he had taken the initiative to invite him.

The change in att.i.tude before and after should be because of the small gathering at Virtue Tower.

There were about ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered in the small courtyard of No. A27. After Shopkeeper Qu brought Shen Ping over, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators greeted him one after another. Clearly, they all knew Shopkeeper Qu.

“This is Talisman Master Shen. Although he is at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he is already a guest elder of our True Treasure Pavilion.

“This is Guest Elder Zhen.” Shopkeeper Qu gave a simple introduction and said with a smile, “You’re quite early. After Master Huo opens the furnace, he usually prays for blessings and washes. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until five.”

The other cultivators only smiled. Everyone who came here often knew this, but sometimes, Master Huo would come out early. If he happened to be late, he would undoubtedly miss the Snow Ginseng Rain Dew Pill.

After that, they waited patiently.

It was not even five o’clock yet when two beautiful female cultivators walked out of the huge pill hut in the small courtyard. They wore pill robes that tied their waists. Their lines were plump and their outlines were majestic. There was a hint of shyness in their charm.

“Seniors, Master invites you.”

As their voices fell, Cultivators like Shen Ping stepped into the small courtyard. He did not feel it when he stood at the door, but as soon as he entered the small courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of pills.

He followed Shopkeeper Qu into the pill hut. Instantly, there was a different universe inside. There was a clear pool of water in the hut. Inside the pool were elegantly decorated cubicles. From the outside, the cubicles could only accommodate two people. No one knew what they were used for.

In the quiet room on the other side of the pill hut, smoke curled up. The old man in a plain white robe raised his long eyebrows and swept them over. “A new Fellow Daoist is here. Do you know the rules?”

Shopkeeper Qu hurriedly said, “I’ve already told him the rules.”

Master Huo smiled faintly. “So it was Fellow Daoist Qu who brought him here. Feel free to sit.”

The two gorgeous female cultivators waved their hands. Futons embroidered with mandarin ducks appeared at the edge of the pool. He sat down cross-legged.

A jade plate suddenly appeared in the hands of these two female cultivators. Then, they placed it in front of Cultivator Shen Ping. On the jade plate was a bottle that contained the Snow Ganoderma Pill.

Shen Ping noticed Shopkeeper Qu from the corner of his eye.

Shopkeeper Qu took out the spirit stone and placed it on the jade plate. He sent a voice transmission, “Just do as I say.”

Shen Ping nodded to himself. He originally thought that he needed to compete with so many cultivators. He did not expect to buy the Snow Ganoderma Pill so easily..
