Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

In the face of this sudden surprise, Shen Ping felt like he was in a dream. His divine sense repeatedly checked the contents of the jade token before gradually confirming it. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the smiling old man in front of him. He did not dare to be negligent anymore and hurriedly bowed. “Shen Ping greets Elder Hui Yue.”

Although his status was comparable to the main hall experts of the headquarters after he had become a personal disciple, he would not forget the most basic etiquette of a cultivator.

The smile on Elder Hui Yue’s wrinkled face intensified. This time, Shen Ping had formed his Gold Core in the Beast Spirit Pool. Speaking of which, he had gotten to know him. The personal disciple of the Head Hall Master meant that he was very likely to become the leader of the True Treasure Pavilion in the future.

He rarely communicated with the other members who applied to soak in the Beast Spirit Pool. It was rare for him to ask with a smile, “1 wonder what arrangements Talisman Master Shen has?”

Shen Ping hesitated for a moment before cupping his hands and saying, “To be honest. I’ve been in seclusion for a long time this time. I miss my wife and concubine very much and want to return to the Eire Spirit Hall as soon as possible. I wonder if there’s anything else I need to deal with after becoming a personal disciple?”

Elder Hui Yue s eyes flickered. If it were any other skill core that suddenly became the personal disciple of the Head Hall Master, they would definitely be overjoyed and lose control.

However, the first thing Talisman Master Shen wanted to do was to go back and share his joy with his wives and concubines. It was rumored that he was a playboy. It seemed that it was indeed true.

However, since he was able to place such importance on relationships and had a humble and polite attitude, coupled with his monstrous natural talent in the Dao of Talismans and cultivation aptitude, even if he wasn’t a personal disciple, his future potential was extraordinary.

Such a cultivator was indeed worth befriending.

Elder Hui Yue stroked his beard and smiled. “Talisman Master Shen has just come out of Core Formation. It’s normal for you to miss your family. As for the matter of the personal disciple, there are no other arrangements before the ceremony. Someone will inform you when the time comes.’¹

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out an ancient token from his sleeve and waved it in front of him, and obscure light spread out. In an instant, the two of them disappeared. When his gaze returned, he was already in the Moon Spirit Branch Hall. He looked at the magnificent hall.

Shen Ping felt a little relieved. After staying in an environment like the stone chamber and blood pool for a long time, it was inevitable that he would feel depressed. If not for the fact that he was focused on forming his core, he would have long felt uncomfortable.

Whoosh. The void suddenly shook. Immediately after, a figure in an ancient robe appeared. As the moon-white jade belt fluttered, a gentle voice sounded. “Talisman Master Shen, you’ve succeeded in forming your Golden Core this time. Congratulations/’

When Shen Ping saw that it was the Lord of the main hall, he could not help but hurriedly bow. Elder Hui Yue bowed slightly and said, “Hall Master Yueling, I’ll take my leave first.”

“As you wish, Fellow Daoist Hui Yue.” Hall Master Yueling quickly looked at Shen Ping and said with a smile, “I believe you already know about your promotion.”

“I’ve received a message from the Lord of the Main Hall.” Shen Ping replied respectfully, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. Hall Master Yueling had appeared so quickly. Clearly, he was waiting here. Although he had become a personal disciple, it was not to the extent that he would let an expert from the main hall personally welcome him and congratulate him.

It was obvious. The identity of this personal disciple was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.

Hall Master Yueling smiled, and his voice carried a hint of familiarity towards his junior. “Talisman Master Shen, you’re returning to the Fire Spirit Hall, right? From now on, you have to pass through dozens of halls to reach the place where the Dan Hai resides. With your current identity, I’m afraid you’ll attract the attention of other cultivators and will inevitably be disturbed. Why don’t you take my carriage?”

Shen Ping was stunned. A carriage exclusive to the Lord of rhe Main Hall?! Even though he knew that the status of a personal disciple was extraordinary, the treatment before and after was simply worlds apart. He instinctively wanted to decline. However, when his eyes met Hall Master Yueling’s gaze, he could only brace himself and say, “Thank you, Hall Master!”

It was not until he rode the beast carriage to the entrance of the Fire Spirit Hall that Shen Ping felt that he had returned to reality.

As he watched the noble and luxurious beast carriage leave, he shook his head and suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart. He turned around and looked at the hall, his face revealing some urgency.

What he had said to Elder Hui Yue at the entrance of the Beast Spirit Pool Hall earlier was not false. They had not seen each other for more than a year. He really missed his wife and concubines. Their voices, smiles, skin textures, and thoughts… seemed to be right in front of him.

He took a few deep breaths. Shen Ping stepped through the hall door. Seeming to have sensed the aura, beautiful figures flashed into the hall one after another. Instantly, the fragrance lingered in the air.

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, Mu Jin, Qiuying, Yin Honglian… The wife and Dao companions looked at the familiar and broad figure they had not seen for a long time with unconcealable excitement and joy in their eyes.

“Husband!”

“Husband!”

His wife rushed into Shen Ping’s arms with tears of joy. Bai Yuying followed closely behind. Yu Yan, Mu Jin, and the others couldn’t suppress their feelings and hugged him.

Shen Ping sensed that each of them had their own merits. Looking at the aura emitted by his wife, concubine, and Dao companions of different sizes, a warm smile that he had not seen for a long time appeared on his face.

There were no words. He hugged his wife and concubine tightly. After five minutes, this warm silence was slightly broken.

“Congratulations on your successful Core Formation!”

“Hehe, my husband has also become a Golden Core Perfected!”

“Husband, nor only did you successfully form the core, you even became the personal disciple of rhe Head Hall Master!”

His wife and concubines’ faces were all shining with excitement. After all, no matter which one of them it was, it was still joyous news.

As he listened to rhe orioles in his ears, Shen Ping could not help but feel happy. He smiled as he looked around and sighed. “That’s right. I’m already 65 years old and have actually reached rhe Core Formation realm. Looking back ar the past, it’s really unimaginable. However, 1 want to experience the differences of the Golden Core now. Yun’er, Ying er… I haven’t urged you to cultivate for a long rime. Today, I’ll use the power of the Golden Core to sort out your abandoned cultivation.. How about that?”
