Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Shen Ping had three bottom lines when choosing a Dao companion when he’s in theQi Refinement Level. He would not consider any of these three: high cultivation levels, deep background and unrestrained.

However, he had already established his foundation and was a core member of the True Treasure Pavilion. His status was far from what Qi Refinement could compare to. Most importantly, the Dao Protector, Pei Huoyu, came from the Zhongsheng Continent’s headquarters and was powerful.

As long as he did not encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator, there was basically no danger. Therefore, Shen Ping had a new direction after much consideration regarding the requirements of a Dao Companion. Especially regarding Perfected Qiu. He was deeply moved. Even though he was constantly on guard against being arrogant, he had to admit that under the influence of the surrounding connections, he could not return to his previous state.

This was a good thing. Or perhaps it was a bad thing. Shen Ping did not know either. He could only try to adapt. He looked up. Facing Matchmaker Ceng’s enthusiastic smile, he made his choice.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. She had to have two aptitude talents, fire and earth. She had to have dabbled in both the Dao of Talismans and the Dao of Alchemy. But she was best at arrays and had already reached the second level.

Shen Ping chose this Foundation Establishment female cultivator mainly because she was less than a hundred years old. There were also others that were less than a hundred years old. However, the youngest was this woman.

“Talisman Master Shen has a unique vision. This Foundation Establishment female cultivator came from Jin Kingdom and was quite talented in array formations. She had been nurtured with generous resources since she was young. Unfortunately, her sect was destroyed later on. Coupled with her straightforward and fiery personality, she offended a Golden Core Daoist. In the end, she could only rely on my Spring Garden.”

Shen Ping’s lips twitched. He reckoned that Matchmaker Ceng would praise him like this if he chose any one of them.

“What about Luo Qing? She came from the Ze Kingdom. Why did she choose Spring Garden?”

Among the five wife, concubines, and Dao companions, Luo Qing was the only one that had yet to transform into a silver frame. If there was no change in his physique next month, he could only think of another way.

Matchmaker Ceng smiled and said, “The fate of the female cultivators at the bottom is mostly tragic. There are many demon beasts in the Ze Kingdom. No matter what the reason is, it’s Luo Qing’s fortune to be able to follow Talisman Master Shen. It’s the same for me. If not for Talisman Master Shen, how could I sit safely in Qingyang City? So Talisman Master Shen has great fortune…”

Shen Ping reached out and interrupted, “When will she arrive?”

“If they’re fast, they’ll be able to reach Qingyang City in half a month. If they’re delayed on the way, it’ll be within two months at the latest.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for Fellow Daoist Ceng’s message.” With that, he got up and left.

Matchmaker Ceng personally sent him to the door.

Before he left, Shen Ping asked, “Fellow Daoist Ceng said that there would be results in half a year. Don’t forget.”

Matchmaker Ceng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Talisman Master Shen. I’ve already applied to the headquarters. I’ll definitely reply in half a year.”

Back at Tongquan Alley, his cultivation life became boring again. Although Shen Ping tried his best to maintain his hard work day and night, it was always lacking a little fun if he could not enjoy himself on the bed. Sometimes, he even wondered if he should go next door. But when this thought appeared every time, He quickly suppressed it.

What Perfected Qiu had shown that day was indeed very sincere. However, the other party was a Golden Core cultivator after all. She’s calm. She was experienced and knowledgeable. He really couldn’t control the depth of it.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Tomorrow, the flying ship from the True Treasure Pavilion will arrive at Qingyang City. He thought of the cultivation technique and the Begonia Drunken Coral Fish.

Shen Ping could not help but feel a little excited. So he sent a message to Mu Jin in advance. At noon, he arrived at the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley.

Mu Jin seemed to have been specially dressed up. She changed into the plain white pink embroidered dress she often wore in the True Treasure Pavilion. She maintained a sweet smile. However, just as she crossed the threshold of the hall, the sound of clothes being torn could be heard.

Instantly, a jade robe with golden threads embroidered on it was revealed. He looked at the taut outline of the curve. Shen Ping’s breathing was slightly heavy. Mu Jin took a few steps forward and sniffed the hot air. Her eyes were filled with desire. “Talisman Master Shen, let me serve you well.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure was half a step shorter. Soon, the round jade beads that fell from her earlobe swayed back and forth even more violently.

Zhongsheng Continent.

In a remote area, there were dark red mountains that shot into the sky like sharp swords. In the middle of these mountains, the huge palace floated. This was the headquarters of Spring Garden, which was spread across the five continents and four seas. Below the huge palace, there were dense blood cocoons. Every blood cocoon was a palace.

In one of the blood cocoons, Envoy Xue Luo, who had once appeared in Spring Garden in Qingyang City, bowed.

“What is it?”

“Blood Lord, Spring Garden is under the jurisdiction of the South Flame Continent, the Fire Toad Cave…” Envoy Xue Luo briefly explained the matter.

The figure sitting on the blood-colored throne smiled faintly. “Interesting. I didn’t expect the core members of the True Treasure Pavilion to actually care about a mortal. Perhaps he shouldn’t be in the True Treasure Pavilion. In that case, I’ll take the bloodline of the C-rank. You keep an eye on this. If he can go further in the True Treasure Pavilion in the future, you can continue to change the bloodline.”

Envoy Xue Luo quickly retreated respectfully. Blood Lord, who was sitting on the throne, looked up at the blood cocoon, as if he could see through the distant space. “Spring Garden has been planning for a long time. It’s almost time to reap the rewards!”

The next day, when Shen Ping arrived at the second floor of the True Treasure Pavilion, many guest elders were there. He was not surprised. Every day when the flying ship transported items and resources, the number of guest elders was the highest.

“Guest Elder Shen.”

“Fellow Daoist Shen is here too.”

Whether it was the third-grade or first-grade Golden Core Guests, they all greeted him. Even the guest eiders who were not good at socializing would smile. Everyone knew what resources meant.

Shen Ping, who had the authority of a core member, represented the treasury resources of the entire True Treasure Pavilion. Unless they felt that there was no hope of longevity, otherwise, as long as he still wanted to improve, he would step into a higher realm. Making friends with Shen Ping was undoubtedly the fastest way.

Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands in response. A moment later, he put on the new Clear Light Spirit Ring. Compared to the storage bag, the surface of the spirit ring was engraved with special patterns that flickered with light. It looked very pleasing to the eye. Other cultivation techniques, spirit wine, medicinal pills, Dharma artifacts, materials, and so on were in the Clear Light Spirit Ring.

He sat on a chair in the private room. Shen Ping tasted the spiritual tea and felt satisfied. At this moment, Deacon Xia walked in. Shen Ping hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully.

“You’re a special-class guest elder. There’s no need to be polite.” Deacon Xia was in a good mood. He sat down with a smile and said, “I heard that Guest Elder Shen has come to the True Treasure Pavilion to taste spirit tea several times and was disturbed by some female cultivators. Later, I’ll tell Shopkeeper Qu to arrange a female cultivator to receive you in the future. You could choose their appearances and cultivation.”

Shen Ping immediately said, “Senior Xia, I’m only here to rest occasionally. There’s no need for an exclusive reception.”

Deacon Xia did not force him. He smiled and spoke of another matter. “Guest Elder Shen’s Dao companion has opened a shop in the South City, right? Our True Treasure Pavilion also has many alchemists. If you need pills, you can inform them. If you think it’s troublesome, you can look for Elder Peng. There are a few disciples who are good at alchemy.”

Shen Ping could not refuse anymore and could only agree casually. They chatted for a while more. Deacon Xia left the private room. Shen Ping also stood up hurriedly. If he continued to stay here, not to mention those honest female cultivators, even the other guest elders would not be easy to deal with.

Late at night, the starlight was dazzling. He watched as Wang Yun and Bai Yuying slept soundly. Shen Ping’s gaze fell on Luo Qing, who was only wearing a white undergarment. Before he could do anything, her clear springs and streams reacted. He saw that her cheeks were slightly red.

He smiled and sat beside Luo Qing. “Qing’er, after the first Drunken Spirit Fish Tide, do you still remember what I said?”

Luo Qing’s eyes revealed surprise. Then, her body trembled as she bit the corner of her lips and said, “Husband said that you only need five years to buy the spirit wine brewed by the Begonia Drunken Coral Fish to resolve Qing’er’s physique.”

Before she could finish her sentence, the clear and intoxicating smell of alcohol filled the air. Luo Qing looked at the jade pot floating in Shen Ping’s palm. Her voice trembled as she said, “Husband, this, this is…”

“Begonia Drunken Fish Wine. This pot can last you two years. I have another pot here. Qing’er, your bloodline physique will be completely resolved in three years and you can start cultivating again!”

Listening to Shen Ping’s voice, Luo Qing’s proud and cold heart was engulfed in warmth. Her lips moved and she could not speak, but a line of tears slid down from the corner of her eyes.

Five years.

Actually, she had never taken it to heart. She was just concerned about her husband’s care and love. And now, less than five years have passed. Her husband’s promise had been fulfilled.

Cultivators were heartless. The human world was cold. When she left Ze Kingdom in despair and stepped onto an unfamiliar flying ship, Her heart had long died of coldness.

Luo Qing did not expect to meet her husband, who was clearly afraid of death, but cared so much about his wife, his Dao companion, and a cultivator like her who had no future like a cripple.

“Husband, love me.” A cold voice sounded. At this moment, her heart thumped.

The ordinary virtual frame that had not moved for a long time vibrated. Soon, a dazzling silver light bloomed from the depths. Only this time, the silver light continued to shine. And it did not stop beating like Luo Qing’s heart.

Ten minutes passed. The silver light became deeper and deeper. The last golden light actually burst out from the depths. It emitted a dazzling golden light like the sun.

Shen Ping’s movements were slow and serious. After the proud bamboo trembled three times, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly. Then, he covered the sleeping Luo Qing with a brocade blanket and opened the virtual interface. He glanced around.

The golden virtual frame was dazzling.

Shen Ping was stunned for two minutes. After coming back to his senses, he sighed in his heart..
