Chapter 75: Level Eight Qi Refinement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the following days, Shen Ping did not pay attention to anything outside. Every day, he made talismans, dual cultivated, meditated, and accompanied his wife and concubines. Occasionally, he would refine some small puppet items to test his strength. Although cultivation life was repetitive and boring, it was sometimes more interesting.
Just like that, it was April the next year. The warm air made the Cloud Mountain and the Hundred Thousand Mountains green. The market was filled with the feeling of spring.
After finishing his cultivation in the quiet room, Shen Ping touched his cheek. Another wrinkle appeared on his skin. Unknowingly, he was already 49 years old. He opened the virtual panel.
[Your wife is deeply in love with you. Current favorability: 100+100]
[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 8]
[Silver Bonus: 10]
[Talisman Master: Level Two Low-Grade (130,684/150,000)]
…..
[Current Dao Companion Favorability: 100]
[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 4]
[Metal Spiritual Root: High-grade (48,747/50,000)]
[Wood Spiritual Root: High-grade (48,639/50,000)]
He glanced at it briefly. His gaze landed on the virtual frame that belonged to Wang Yun and Bai Yuying. His Dao of Talisman and Spiritual Root were not far from breaking through to the next level, but no matter how he tried to accompany and care for them, his favorability did not change at all.
He walked out of the quiet room.
He left the deserted Yunhe Alley and arrived at the market. The cultivators coming and going on the main street were no longer lively. During this period of time, more and more cultivators ran to the cave abode ruins in the Cloud Mountain Swamp. It was said that a second and third level had appeared in the cave abode. The deeper one went, the more precious the treasures were.
Before he reached the True Treasure Pavilion, a large flying ship quickly drove over and landed at the edge of the market.
“It’s a flying ship!”
“There’s another flying ship that came to the Cloud Mountain Parlour!”
“They must have regained contact with the main sect!”
The cultivators were excited.
Shen Ping also revealed a look of joy. He simply walked quickly to the outer sect deacon hall, wanting to ask if the operations of the flying ship had re-operate. However, it was obvious that there were cultivators who were even more anxious than him.
“What? It hasn’t re-operate yet!”
“Aren’t there flying ships coming in from outside?”
The cultivators inside said anxiously.
The deacon said unhurriedly, “The news of the cave abode ruins appearing in the Cloud Mountain Swamp has already spread throughout the Wei Kingdom.
In the near future, there will be flying ships transporting cultivators to explore the ruins.”
The cultivator asked again, “When will it operate again?”
“It’s not confirmed at the moment.”
Hearing this, the smile on Shen Ping’s face disappeared. He looked up at the blue sky of the market and subconsciously said in his heart, “He really doesn’t want anyone to leave!”
With a heavy heart, He arrived at the second floor of the True Treasure Pavilion.
“What’s the matter, Talisman Master Shen?”
“It’s nothing. Fellow Daoist Mu, will the flying ship of the True Treasure Pavilion still come every month?”
“Yes.” Mu Jin glanced at Shen Ping and seemed to guess his thoughts. She hesitated and said, “Talisman Master Shen, you’re a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion. No matter what happens, as long as you’re in the True Treasure Pavilion, you’ll be safe. There’s no need to worry too much.
“Moreover, I heard from Shopkeeper Ding recently that in a few days, there might be Nascent Soul elders coming to guard this place.”
Shen Ping was shocked. “Nascent Soul ciders are coming? Could it be for the cave abode ruins?”
“Maybe.” Mu Jin smiled sweetly and suddenly changed the topic. “There seems to be a small courtyard empty on Qinghe Alley. If Talisman Master Shen has time, do you want me to take you there?”
Shen Ping didn’t react for a moment. It wasn’t until Mu Jin got up and walked out of the private room, and the round curves became more and more blurry, that he realized the charm and said to himself, “Fellow Daoist Mu is still the best!”
He quickly got up and chased after her. However, Fellow Daoist Mu had already walked to the corner of the wooden stairs. She turned around with a sly look in the corner of her eyes. “Talisman Master Shen is not in a good state today. Let’s do it next time.”
He could not help but laugh. After this small interlude, his mood had recovered a lot.
“Nascent Soul elder. If there’s really such an expert guarding it, it can indeed be safe. As for Qinghe Alley… I have to consider moving.” Shen Ping pondered.
The environment of Qinghe Alley was quiet, and the people living there were all high-grade alchemists, and cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm. It was far safer than other alleys. It was usually very difficult to have an empty small courtyard. Since Mu Jin had mentioned it, there must have been an empty house recently.
“I have to ask. If there really is, I’ll rent this small courtyard first.”
Yunhe Alley had a thin spiritual vein to assist in cultivation, but there were too many people. Moreover, there was a limit to the number of people living there. It was far from the True Treasure Pavilion. If the market was completely chaotic, this distance would be a hidden danger.
Thinking of this,
He hurriedly sold talismans in the True Treasure Pavilion and bought spirit liquid and medicinal pills. Then, he came to the Deacon Hall again.
“You came at the right time. A while ago, there was a small courtyard in Qinghe Alley that the tenant did not want to renew. You can pay the rent now and come over in mid-June to get the wooden token.”
Shen Ping did not hesitate to settle the procedures. He walked out of the Deacon Hall. He was completely relaxed. As long as he could move into Qinghe Alley, no matter how chaotic the market was, he did not have to worry too much. This was because Qinghe Alley was not far from the True Treasure Pavilion. He only needed to walk through two or three streets to reach it.
Another month passed quietly.
No matter how lively the Cloud Mountain Swamp’s ruins were, Shen Ping did not pay attention to them. He seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter and stayed in his house to cultivate.
Late at night, the stars were resplendent and scattered. Inside the house, the sound of the bed shaking disappeared.
Shen Ping glanced at the interface. Behind the metal and wood spiritual roots, the words ‘breakthrough’ appeared. He was overjoyed and quickly left the main room after comforting his wife and concubine.
He walked to the quiet room and sat down cross-legged.
He looked at the virtual frame..
