Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 71: Good Wine

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The rain gradually increased in September.

Cloud Mountain Parlour, which was enveloped by black clouds, was like a small boat floating on the water surface. It could capsize at any time.

Late at night.

In the small courtyard.

The sound of falling rain hit the roof, drowning the bed and swaying. However, the last sound still pierced through the silence of the rainy night, allowing the mind and body to fuse.

Luo Qing sat cross-legged, and the rosy color in her cheeks gradually faded.

“Husband, you’re a little distracted today. Is there something wrong?” Bai Yuying asked in a sweet voice.

…..

Wang Yun, who was curled up, looked up at her husband.

“I have to go to the market tomorrow.”

“Husband, can I come with you?”

Shen Ping patted Bai Yuying’s head and said warmly, “Recently, the market has become more and more chaotic. There are gradually demonic cultivators appearing. It’s better to be careful. When the market recovers its peace in the future, I will often bring you out.”

Bai Yuying stuck out her tongue mischievously. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

He opened the virtual panel. He quickly scanned the area. The Dao of Talismans was steadily increasing every day and was not far from the middle-grade Level Two.

The increase in spells and lifespan was relatively slow. Although Luo Qing’s favorability had been increasing recently, the increase in dual cultivation had always been low.

As for the metal and wood spiritual roots, they had already crossed the 40,000 mark. According to the current speed, they would be able to break through to the top-grade next year. This was what Shen Ping valued more at the moment. If the dual-element spiritual root transformed, the delay in the overall cultivation speed of the other fire and earth spiritual roots would very likely decrease again.

He had already comprehended something about this point when he was meditating recently.

There was no increase at all in the remaining puppet master and divine sense these days, but Shen Ping did not care. After all, cultivating special cultivation techniques required time, especially with Yu Yan’s Inner Charm Fire Body. If he could achieve something, he might have a chance to build his foundation in the future.

He thought of Yu Yan’s charm and affection before she went into seclusion.

Shen Ping felt that his lower abdomen was a little hot. He put away his distracting thoughts and looked at Luo Qing with an inviting expression. “Qing’er?”

Luo Qing expressionlessly moved her body and sat cross-legged on the floor. “What about you, Ying’er?”

“I’m not feeling well.”

“Yun’er… forget it.” Shen Ping looked at his wife’s tired expression and sighed. “You guys rest early. I’ll go to the talisman making room.”

The night passed.

The next day, at the beginning of the day, He tidied himself up a little and left the small courtyard to come to the market. He stood at the entrance of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion.

Shen Ping felt a little emotional. He had not been here for a while.

Shopkeeper Chen, who was behind the counter, saw the figure and hurriedly ran out to welcome him. He said respectfully, “Talisman Master Shen, the owner is waiting in the backyard.”

Shen Ping said helplessly, “Shopkeeper Chen, you and I have worked together for many years. There’s no need to be so polite.”

A smile appeared on Shopkeeper Chen’s face.” Talisman Master Shen is now a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion. I can’t lose my courtesy. I’m already very grateful that you were able to receive an invitation from the past. Please.” Seeing this, Shen Ping did not persuade him further.

He followed the left corridor of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion shop and walked all the way to the backyard. He stopped and looked up at the old locust tree in the courtyard. Its wrinkled and dry skin had experienced time. It did not seem to have changed, but he felt that it seemed to have aged a little.

He crossed the threshold.

His gaze immediately landed on the owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion, who was wearing a palace satin dress with beautiful cloud patterns, a white ribbon around her waist, and a token hanging casually at her waist.

Her faint spiritual pressure was deliberately restrained, and there was a heroic spirit and a hint of elegance between her eyebrows. At first glance, he only felt that her facial features were normal.

“Shen Ping greets Senior Chen!” Shen Ping hurriedly cupped his hands.

“Talisman Master Shen, there’s no need to be so polite. My surname is Chen, and my name is Shurong. You can call me Fellow Daoist Chen in the future.” Shopkeeper Chen was shocked. He did not expect this boss to say her name. She thought so highly of him that it was no different from other Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Xiao Qi’er, who was standing beside the owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion, bit her lip and lowered her head to look at her feet.

Shen Ping said immediately, “Senior Chen, I don’t dare to be rude.”

The guest of the True Treasure Pavilion only represented his status and identity in the True Treasure Pavilion. What outsiders thought was their business, but he himself knew that he was only a seventh level Qi Refinement cultivator.

Chen Shurong shook her head and did not insist. She said casually, “Talisman Master Shen, please take a seat.”

He sat down. It was the first time Shen Ping looked at the owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion seriously.

Chen Shurong glanced with the corner of her eye. The maidservant, Xiao Qi’er, hurriedly filled the two cups with spirit wine.

“This Fire-extracting Spirit Fruit Wine is a spirit wine brewed by my Chen family. When one drink it for the first time, they will feel the alcohol rush straight to their head and their body will also feel a burning sensation. To be honest, Talisman Master Shen, when I drank this spirit wine for the first time back then, I almost fainted on the table. It’s far inferior to Talisman Master Shen’s steady sitting.”

Hearing this, Shen Ping smiled as if he was sitting at the Foundation Establishment banquet.

“Talisman Master Shen.”

“Please!”

The heroic spirit in the clear spring sounded in the room.

Shen Ping cupped his hands, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. His actions were clean and nimble. After drinking, the alcohol rushed up his throat and turned into praise. “Good wine!”

Xiao Qi’er’s pretty face turned pale. A smile appeared in the corner of Chen Shurong’s eyes. She also drank it in one gulp. “Talisman Master Shen, this drinking method is indeed satisfying.”

They drank a glass of wine. The atmosphere in the room was much more harmonious.

The boss of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion had also cultivated the Dao of Talismans, but her talent stopped in the end. She took advantage of the alcohol to ask Shen Ping for guidance on the Dao of Talismans. When Shen Ping replied, he would ask some difficult cultivation questions from time to time.

Time passed quietly. The shadow of the old locust tree in the courtyard gradually lengthened.

“Senior Chen. There’s something I don’t understand.”

They started chatting.

Shen Ping asked the question in his heart, “Now that the chaos in the market is getting more and more intense, the Golden Sun Sect did not interfere and allowed the demonic cultivators to wreak havoc. Why is this?”

Whether it was a guess or an inference, it would just all be baseless guess without concrete proof.

The smile on Chen Shurong’s face disappeared. She glanced at Xiao Qi’er and Shopkeeper Chen. “You guys can leave!”

“Yes!”

After they left, Chen Shurong said in a low voice, “Talisman Master Shen, I’m not too sure about the exact reason for this matter. Originally, the sect strictly prohibited discussion and leakage, but it’s fine now.

“A cave abode ruin was discovered under the mine in the Cloud Mountain Swamp. From the layout of the array formation and other aspects, it should be related to the demonic path. It requires the demonic cultivators to join forces to open the restrictions inside before they can enter. This was why the other sects allowed the cultivators of the Luosha Demonic Valley to wreak havoc. When the cave abode ruin is opened, the situation in the market will return to calm.”

Shen Ping came to a realization and thought to himself that it was really about the mine. Since this boss could tell him about this, the cave abode ruins was probably about to open. When the time came, there would be a huge commotion. It would be impossible to hide it.

However, there were still many doubts.

When did the mining area discover the ruins? Why did the Golden Sun Sect let the other sects come over to take a share of the loot? Most importantly, facing the cave abode ruin, the main sect should have temporarily eased the relationship with the sub sect. Why did it completely fall out instead?

However, these things only flashed across Shen Ping’s mind and he did not pay much attention to them. He only cared about one thing. “Senior Chen, does that mean that the flying ships in the Cloud Mountain Parlour would resume operations soon?”

“Perhaps!”
