Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

The exchange ended.

Shen Ping was in an especially good mood. His strength had skyrocketed, but the most important thing was that he had seen hope of meeting his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. Be it the benefits of the virtual interface or his longing for them, they were all things he cared about the most.

Stepping onto the path of immortality and pursuing longevity did not mean that he had to abandon many things. The thoughts and desires of the mortal world were still deeply rooted in his blood. Perhaps he had only cultivated for a short period of time and had yet to reach sixty years, so he still had the various concepts of the ordinary people in his previous life.

“Maybe I’m not a qualified cultivator.” Shen Ping smiled. He felt that his thoughts were a little messy now. Perhaps it’s because he had expectations and hope, and not like before, where he did not even have the leisure time to think. He was either in seclusion or dealing with other chores.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

The wind at the edge of the flying ship whistled like a knife, but it was pleasant to his ears at this moment, like the most beautiful natural movement in the world. He stood in front of the deck and looked at the scenery that kept passing by below. The grass, trees, lake, rocks, and animals that appeared from time to time seemed to have colorful colors.

“Let’s go home!” He said softly.

The flying ship covered in light quickly disappeared into the horizon.

There were no more accidents on the way back to Gray Stone City. The closer they got to Gray Stone City, the more lively the trade route became. Lights of different colors appeared in the sky one after another. As the flying ship landed on the white jade square not far from the east of the city gate, An Zhiyuan and the other caravan members relaxed.

Before they reached the city gate, several beautiful figures came forward. Jing Huilan’s delicate face was filled with joy. Even though she was quite prestigious in Gray Stone City now, when she saw Shen Ping, she ignored her pride and pounced on him. The An sisters and Jing Yan behind her smiled.

It was not easy for them to hide in the city these days. Everyone knew that if anything happened to Shen Ping, the True Treasure Pavilion, which had been established for only a few years, would be bitten by shark-like races. They did not have the strength to resist.

Now that Shen Ping had returned safely, they could finally put down their worries.

“Husband,” when he returned to the City Lord Manor, the scorching whiteness intertwined, and that weak voice was like melted water that filled every pore of his body. The light outside the window gradually dimmed.

Jing Huilan’s limbs were limp. She, who was already in the Nascent Soul realm, had never been unable to find a place that could not move from head to toe like now. Even her clear almond-shaped eyes were in a daze. After a long time, her soft body had a trace of strength. She turned around and saw the broad figure looking at her teasingly. “It’s been a few months since we last met. Husband, how did you become so powerful?”

Her words were still a little boring, but Shen Ping could still hear the flirtatiousness in her voice. He could not help but laugh and pinch her face. “I’ve broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm, so I’m naturally more powerful. Lan’er, you have to work hard. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to last half a day in the future.”

He was telling the truth. The Beginner Divine Demon Body made his bone structure and physique stronger than that of a Divine Transformation Great Devil. Even if he controlled his muscles and strength, it was not something ordinary cultivators could withstand.

Moreover, it was all thanks to his experience in this aspect. Otherwise, he would really have been able to injure Jing Huilan.

“You’ve broken through? Congratulations, husband!” When Jing Huilan heard this, she was sincerely happy. The stronger her husband was, the safer she felt. Although she was not as dependent as a mortal woman, the destruction of the Jing family still made her feel insecure. It was only when she met Shen Ping that she had light and hope in her heart.

The two of them rubbed their heads against each other for a while. Of course, Shen Ping did not dare to continue. He only said some unpleasant words of love. Then, Jing Huilan recovered some strength and went to the hall to eat.

The An sisters served at the side. At the same time, they reported on the matters of Gray Stone City and the various sub-pavilions.

“In that case, the market in the Black Fiend Valley and the branch pavilions where the various races gathered were attacked?” Shen Ping slowly ate the beast meat. It was not easy to manage a faction, even if it was not large. This was because it required a lot of decisions. It was difficult to predict whether these decisions were right or wrong. Even if one had the strength, they might not be able to do it right.

Just like now, who attacked the branch pavilion? Was it simply plundering resources and materials, or was it secretly targeting the True Treasure Pavilion?

“Three of them have been completely destroyed. The shopkeeper and the other members have already died. The other two have only had their resources plundered.” An Zhi said in detail, “Because the trade route is frequently attacked by the demons, our True Treasure Pavilion doesn’t dare to send guest elders to investigate.”

Currently, the number of guest elders in the True Treasure Pavilion has increased to seven Divine Transformation experts from various races. However, the strength of the demonic cultivators who attacked the caravan was not low. These guest elders did not dare to attack casually. Of course, it was mainly because Shen Ping was not around and Jing Huilan did not have enough prestige.

Shen Ping was well aware of this, so after eating, he immediately sent a message to the guest elder in the communication pavilion.

A moment later, seven Divine Transformations appeared in the hall.

He looked at the two guest elders of the Wood Clan and the Flower Clan, took a sip of hot tea, and said, “Fellow Daoist Mu, Fellow Daoist Hua, the branch pavilion was attacked. I’ll have to trouble the two of you to make a trip.”

Fellow Daoist Mu and Fellow Daoist Hua’s expressions changed slightly, but they did not refuse.

“The trade route shouldn’t be attacked. Even if there is, the two of you can deal with it with your strength. However, just in case, I’ll give you a puppet. I believe it’s enough to protect yourselves..”
