Chapter 78: Only Two Years (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was only one spacious main room in the small courtyard house in Yunhe Alley. Every day, they could only squeeze into one room. There were two spacious bedrooms here, but for Shen Ping, it was passable.
“Husband, the bed in the bedroom is huge. Hehe, there’s no need to be separated in the future.” Bai Yuying looked forward to a blissful life in the future, and her face was filled with smiles.
Wang Yun sized up the small courtyard, as if she was thinking about how to plant flowers. Luo Qing sat in the hall with an indifferent expression.
“Not bad. The bedroom in the small courtyard is separated from the wing. I finally don’t have to suffer every day.” Yu Yan glanced at Shen Ping and crossed her arms. Then, she leaned in front of Shen Ping and said, “I’ll go to the quiet room first. Husband, you have to be prepared. Remember to taste it carefully the next time I come out.”
As he looked at her back, Shen Ping thought of his unbearable first experience and hurriedly shook his head.
That night, they celebrated the housewarming. After feeling good, he went to the cubicle and arranged the talisman-making materials, talisman brushes, puppet items, and other items in his storage bag. Then, he calmed down and prayed for blessings before starting to get busy.
In the next few days, Shen Ping dealt with the excitement of his wife and concubines with ease. At the same time, he took the time to visit the surrounding small courtyards. Even high-grade alchemists became much more polite and enthusiastic when they saw his guest wooden token of the True Treasure Pavilion. They gave each other some medicinal pills and talismans to get to know each other.
…..
Soon, all the small courtyards in Qinghe Alley knew that a new high-grade Talisman Master had moved in. Moreover, he was a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion.
In the market.
In the private room of the True Treasure Pavilion.
Mu Jin casually tied a bow with a pink ribbon at her waist. As she tasted the spirit tea, her eyes fell on Shen Ping and she smiled sweetly. “Talisman Master Shen has really arrived at Qinghe Alley. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring you there myself.” There seemed to be a trace of regret in her words.
Shen Ping smiled and said, “If Fellow Daoist Mu wants to visit, you can go over tonight.”
“I won’t disturb Talisman Master Shen anymore.”
She got up and left. However, Shen Ping said, “Fellow Daoist Mu’s residence shouldn’t be far from Qinghe Alley, right? Why don’t I visit you another day and take a look at the layout of your house?”
Mu Jin didn’t respond, but when she walked out of the private room, she stopped and quietly reached out two fair fingers. The smile on Shen Ping’s face faded a little. He picked up the spiritual tea and took a few sips before getting up to leave.
At the beginning of the afternoon, he sat by the window of the restaurant at the intersection and waited quietly. It was not until the sun rose in the middle that he heard footsteps. When he looked up, that person was still in a black robe and a blood-colored ferocious mask.
“Recently, many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm have been trapped in the cave abode in the Cloud Mountain Swamp. I didn’t expect you to come out of there.” Shen Ping looked at the pair of eyes under the blood-colored mask and said calmly.
Bai Yuying’s younger brother’s aura was not strong. Although there was a blood color covering him, he was definitely not a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It was very difficult for him to leave the cave abode of the Cloud Mountain Swamp with his cultivation realm.
During this period of time, the rogue cultivators were not as crazy as before. Especially after the Golden Cores were trapped. The rogue cultivators seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water and calmed down a lot.
“Senior, the cave abode ruins are not as simple as you think. There are several entrances.” The black cultivator finished the spiritual tea in one gulp and said, “Find a safe place. It’s not convenient to talk here.”
Shen Ping nodded. A moment later, the two of them arrived at the quiet room of the Talisman Treasure Hall. They had to pay a considerable amount of spirit stones to make talismans here, but no one disturbed them.
After sitting down, Shen Ping asked the question in his heart, “How much do you know? And is the Golden Sun Sect related to the cave abode ruins?”
Bai Yuying’s younger brother shook his head. “I don’t know anything else. I only know that in at most two years, the entire Cloud Mountain will completely collapse. The cave abode ruins were completely a trap.” When he spoke up to here, his voice carried a trace of pleading. “Senior, I can’t live anymore. I only hope that you can leave with my sister and leave Cloud Mountain!”
Shen Ping’s expression darkened. “I can’t leave. The Golden Sun Sect’s flying ship is temporarily suspended. No one can leave.”
“Spring Garden. Spring Garden has a way to leave.” Bai Yuying’s younger brother hurriedly said.
When Shen Ping heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Looks like you’re from Spring Garden.”
Bai Yuying’s younger brother laughed self-deprecatingly. “A low-level cultivator like me is only temporarily useful. Spring Garden has long entered the cave abode ruins. I don’t know what their goal is, but Spring Garden must have a way to leave.”
Shen Ping frowned. He did not know if the news about Bai Yuying’s younger brother was true, but the other party did have a deep sibling relationship with Bai Yuying.
“Spring Garden can’t be trusted!” He sighed.
“That’s why I’m here.” As Bai Yuying’s younger brother spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a small purple pearl. “As long as you have this pearl, Spring Garden won’t touch you. Senior, my sister smiled very happily that day. She rarely smiles like this. It’s her blessing to be able to follow you.” Bai Yuying’s younger brother bowed deeply.
Shen Ping said in a deep voice, “I promise you!”
“Thank you!” As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed cultivator took out the jade pendant and placed it down. He turned around and left without hesitation.
He looked at the purple bead. Shen Ping could guess that the latter must have taken a huge risk for this item.
Perhaps they would never see each other again.
“Two years…” He sighed faintly, put away the jade pendant, stood up, and left.
Wei Kingdom.
On the top of Tianxia Peak.
The majestic palace sat on the ethereal clouds. From afar, it looked like an immortal palace standing in the clouds. In the glorious hall, the white-robed young man was handsome and elegant, and he was as gentle as jade. However, his hair had already turned white. Each of them seemed to be filled with the vicissitudes of time.
Buzz.
The communication jade emitted a light. A voice sounded. “The Nascent Soul elders of the various large sects have arrived at Cloud Mountain. Do you want to activate the array?”
The white-robed young man looked at the scroll on the jade table and said calmly, “Wait for another month or two. Ancestor Blood Crocodile’s reputation isn’t so weak.”
“Spring Garden has already reached the fifth floor.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
The light of the communication jade dimmed. The young man in white shook his head and arrived at the peak in an instant. He looked at the mountains and sea. He sighed softly and said, “I still want to see the glory of Wei Kingdom again.”
With a wave of his hand, the scroll on the jade table floated over, and words flickered on it: Blood Sea Scripture.
August.
As the Nascent Soul elders of the various large sects arrived, the restriction array formation on the third level of the cave abode finally exploded. However, the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators inside suffered heavy casualties. The spiritual treasures, the Blood Sea Scripture, medicinal pills, secret techniques, and dharma treasures had all disappeared.
This situation made the various large sects calm down a lot. They vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Some sects even wanted to retreat. However, with the Nascent Soul elders around, no one took the initiative to leave.
After all, the Old Ancestor Blood Crocodile was extremely ferocious when he was alive. It would be a joke if they could obtain his legacy so easily.
Qinghe Alley.
A3 5 Courtyard.
After meeting Bai Yuying’s younger brother, Shen Ping became even more focused on making talismans. Regardless of whether what the other party said that day was true, he had to be fully prepared.
He did not care at all for the news of the cave abode ruins.
On this day, Yu Yan walked out of the quiet room. After cultivating a special cultivation technique for so long, she had finally completely stabilized her cultivation technique. Coupled with the physique of the Inner Charm Fire Body, the effect of cultivation would multiply. She might have a chance of building her foundation in the future.
In the talisman making room, he looked at the Level 2 Armor Spirit Talisman that he had made.
Shen Ping looked a little tired, but there was a smile at the corners of his eyes. After continuous hard work, his level in the Dao of Talismans was very close to breaking through to the mid-grade of Level Two. It had only been more than a month. Therefore, the success rate of making complicated Armor Spirit Talismans has been increasing recently.
At the current speed, he could make two Armor Spirit Talismans steadily every month and three Lightning Talismans. This was considered a good level among Foundation Establishment Talisman Masters.
Buzz-
Just as he was about to sit cross-legged and rest, the communication talisman flashed. Shopkeeper Ding’s voice sounded. “Talisman Master Shen, come to the True Treasure Pavilion quickly. The Nascent Soul elder has news to announce.”
Hearing this, Shen Ping frowned, but he still tidied up as soon as possible. After cleaning the robe, he informed his wife and concubines, as well as Yu Yan, and quickly came to the True Treasure Pavilion.
He came to the backyard hall. He saw the purple-robed Nascent Soul elder again.
“There’s a change in the cave abode. The True Treasure Pavilion is preparing to send a batch out of the Cloud Mountain Swamp first..”
