Chapter 70: Silver Light
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Every house in Yunhe Alley had an array formation restriction. This restriction had a simple defense and suppression effect. However, as a safe residence, cultivators would set up some tricks in the house, so Shen Ping specially bought a small array disc.
Chen Ying was a disciple of the Acacia Faction. Although she was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refinement, she had more methods than a rogue cultivator.
In the past, Shen Ping would not go over easily.
Now that he had talismans, Dharma artifacts, a wooden token, even the Foundation Establishment would find it difficult to hurt him. Just in case, before he went, he still instructed Yu Yan that if he entered the house, she had to use voice or other methods to wake him up. If she really could not stop him, she would immediately use the communication talisman to ask for help from the True Treasure Pavilion.
He walked out of the house.
He walked slowly to the door of Room Four.
Chen Ying was wearing a purple and pink gauze dress. Her black hair was tied with a light purple ribbon. Her waist was tight and her curves were exquisite. When she smiled, there were curved dimples at the corners of her lips. She looked innocent. “Talisman Master Shen really came. Here, the wooden sign of the house. Leave your aura this time. You can come in at any time in the future.”
…..
Shen Ping waved his hand and left behind an aura. After passing through the array restriction, he stood at the door and took a step before stopping. “Fellow Daoist Chen, where’s the cultivation technique?”
Chen Ying sneered when she saw this. “I thought that Talisman Master Shen had broken through to the late stage of Qi Refinement and had become bolder. Now, it seems that you haven’t changed.”
Shen Ping turned around and left.
“Wait.” Chen Ying hurriedly called out to him. Then, she took out a jade slip from her storage bag speechlessly. “The cultivation techniques are all inside. Where are the Beauty Pills?”
Shen Ping turned around and smiled faintly. “1 didn’t buy it.”
Hearing this, Chen Ying’s beautiful face instantly turned cold. “Shen, are you playing with me?”
“Fellow Daoist Chen, you have misunderstood. 1 just want to confirm the authenticity of the cultivation technique first.” Shen Ping smiled and shook his head.
“How do you want to confirm?”
“The True Treasure Pavilion has an appraisal method.”
Chen Ying laughed, but her voice became even colder. “Shen, I can tell that you’re playing with me… You asked for it!”
As her voice fell, the bells seemed to be shaking in the wind.
The environment in front of Shen Ping suddenly changed. Bells with red strings spread all around. When the wind blew, these bells let out crisp sounds… The converging bells made one dizzy and have a headache.
Buzz-
His Niwan Palace’s Foundation Establishment Divine Sense shook. All the bells instantly disappeared.
“Hmph, a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator like you can forget about breaking free from my Illusory Sound Bell.” Chen Ying sneered and pulled Shen Ping into the house. However, with this tug, she realized that Shen Ping did not move at all. She looked up, and immediately saw the faint smile on his face.
“You…”
Chen Ying found it unbelievable, but before she could say anything, her body stiffened. Her eyes were fixed on a talisman on his forehead.
“Lightning Talisman.” She said it with difficulty.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, can you take out the jade slip now?”
“If you kill me, the Acacia Faction won’t let this matter rest.” Chen Ying bit her lips and said word by word.
Shen Ping said indifferently, “How many Beauty Pills are you worth?”
Seeing that Chen Ying was silent, he revealed a gentle smile. “Fellow Daoist Chen, don’t worry. I’m just testing the authenticity of the jade slip. If it’s true, I’ll definitely give you the Beauty Pill.”
As he spoke, he took out a blood contract. “Of course, if Fellow Daoist Chen is willing to sign a blood contract and guarantee that the cultivation technique hasn’t been tampered with, 1 won’t have to make a trip to the True Treasure Pavilion.”
A moment later, Shen Ping left with the jade slip and the blood contract. Behind him, Chen Ying gritted her teeth, her anger burning. However, when she saw the floating Lightning Talisman, she could only shatter her teeth and swallow this anger.
“Just you wait! I will definitely make you into a Demon Puppet!”
Back in the house.
Shen Ping’s forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He really had to rack his brains to deal with the demoness of the Acacia Faction. Fortunately, he was sufficiently prepared. No matter what happened, he would make up for it.
Yu Yan gently closed the door and hugged Shen Ping. “There’s something wrong with my body.”
“Right?” Shen Ping took out a jade slip and waved it in front of Yu Yan. He smiled and said, “It’s gone now.”
She looked at the jade slip. Yu Yan understood. She stared at Shen Ping. “So you went to Room 4 for this jade slip.”
Shen Ping nodded seriously. “Yes, the cultivation technique inside can resolve your physique.”
Yu Yan suddenly smiled. She seemed to be talking to herself. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you’ve really grown capable. Didn’t you know that there’s danger when you went there? Where’s your caution? Where’s your cowardice… You! You’re so afraid of death!” She laughed and laughed, till tears began to well and blur at the corners of her eyes. “But you still went. For me.”
Shen Ping reached out and tucked Yu Yan’s black hair behind her ear. “It’s worth it.”
His voice was very soft. However, it was extremely heavy in Yu Yan’s heart. She couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, but the smile on her face bloomed. “Use all your strength… to take me! Now! Immediately! Right now!”
Shen Ping carried Yu Yan and flashed into the main room. When the two figures intersected, a virtual frame on the virtual interface quietly vibrated, and then silver light flashed.
A few days later, the True Treasure Pavilion in the market.
Shen Ping brought the jade slip to the second floor. The authenticity appraisal of the True Treasure Pavilion that he had told Chen Ying about could only confuse the other party. At least, with his status as a guest elder, he could not do it for the time being. However, it was not that there was no other way.
“Thousand Faces Charm Technique, Phoenix Fusion, Acacia Faction’s special cultivation technique, total contribution…”
Standing in the contribution room, Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Although he could not tell if the contents of the cultivation technique were real or fake, from the value of the contribution, these two special cultivation techniques should not be a problem. Coupled with Chen Ying’s blood contract, he would let Yu Yan cultivate them later.
He put it into his storage bag.
He had only taken a few steps out of the contribution room when he saw Mu Jin walking up from the corner of the wooden stairs. She had changed into a delicate water satin dress today, and light makeup hung on her eyebrows and lips, making her look dazzling.
He was about to greet her when he saw two extraordinary sect disciples appeared behind her. There was a small cauldron embroidered on their shoulders, and their brows were filled with confidence.
Disciples of Danxia Sect.
“This way, please.” Mu Jin smiled sweetly and made a gesture of reaching out.
Shen Ping stood on the spot and did not move. He waited until the three of them entered the private room before he went downstairs and left the True Treasure Pavilion. He was not in a hurry to return to Yunhe Alley. Instead, he came to the restaurant where he had brought his wife and concubine to eat last time and sat by the window.
About an hour later, the jade pendant on his waist gradually heated up.
A moment later, a black-robed cultivator sat opposite the table. The blood-colored mask looked especially terrifying at close range.
“My sister is Bai Yuying.” After saying this, the black-robed cultivator fell silent. When he finished a cup of spiritual tea and stood up to leave, he sent a voice transmission, “Senior, if I’m still alive at this time next year, I’ll come and wait for you. Remember, no matter what happens, don’t leave Cloud Mountain Parlour. Please don’t tell her.”
Looking at the back of the black-robed cultivator, Shen Ping frowned and thought to himself, Can’t you make things clear?!
