Chapter 148: Relieving Worries
Shen Ping quickly felt the tight hug between his wife's arms. He reached out and hugged Wang Yun's tight waist. Looking at the silver in her black hair, his eyes revealed some heartache. "Yun'er, you've suffered."
Wang Yun looked up, and a few strands of silver hair fell. She said gently, "Husband, this is the effect of the successful transformation of my bloodline and bone structure. It's fine. I can cultivate like you in the future."
Pei Huoyu, who was standing at the side, sized up Wang Yun and said in surprise, "This is the Heavenly Fire Silver Fox Bloodline. It's considered a high-level bloodline among demon beasts. I didn't expect Spring Garden to study this so deeply that they could even successfully modify such a bloodline. Your wife is also a person with deep luck. Her cultivation path will be very smooth in the future."
However, Shen Ping frowned and said, "Senior Pei, in that case, Spring Garden paid a huge price?"
Pei Huoyu shook his head gently. "To the headquarters of Spring Garden, the Heavenly Fire Silver Fox Bloodline is nothing. Fellow Daoist Shen, don't think too much about it. They're most likely doing this to rope you in. I guess there might be a follow-up method.
"However, you're a Talisman Master. No matter what methods Spring Garden has, their ultimate goal will only be related to the Dao of Talismans. Moreover, they value your future Talisman Dao ability. As for now… you can't do anything."
Shen Ping thought about it carefully and felt that what Pei Huoyu said made sense. "Thank you for your reminder, Senior Pei. What kind of cultivation technique does this Heavenly Fire Silver Fox Bloodline require?"
Pei Huoyu glanced at Wang Yun. "If Fellow Daoist Shen is willing, you can buy the Heavenly Fire Cloud Scripture from the treasure vault. This is the most suitable cultivation technique for your wife. However, the further you go, the more resources you need.
When you cultivate the cultivation technique to perfection, your strength will be extraordinary in the future." With that, she walked into the quiet room.
Shen Ping and Wang Yun bowed one after another. They arrived at the hall. Wang Yun could not help but say, "Husband, I'm already very satisfied to be able to cultivate. I don't have to spend too many resources… Ah!"
As her voice fell, the two of them had already arrived at the bedroom.
Looking at his wife's black and silver hair, Shen Ping sniffed. "After Yun'er's bloodline was modified, you're indeed different. There's a very unique fragrance on your body. I want to see for myself where this fragrance comes from. Apples, or horseshoe prints."
He looked up and down. Shen Ping's eyes lit up. "It's only been a month since we last saw each other, but the shallow grass no longer has hooves. The fragrance of flowers actually came from here."
Wang Yun's blushing earlobe was dyed with a layer of red clouds. "Husband, don't tease me. I came back so quickly because I miss you too much. I miss you very much."
Shen Ping could not take it anymore. Then, he lowered his waist. He suddenly felt the difference in the Heavenly Fire Silver Fox bloodline. There seemed to be layers of flames rolling. More importantly, his wife was no longer as weak as before and could withstand more.
But he considered that she had just undergone a bloodline modification and had yet to cultivate, so Shen Ping stopped when twenty minutes passed.
…
At night,
In the hall, the table was filled with delicacies. Bai Yuying kept eating and muttered, "Sister Yun'er is finally back. I can eat all kinds of delicacies in the future."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "Husband's delicacies are not even enough for Ying'er!"
Bai Yuying shook her head subconsciously. "It's not that it's not enough, but I can't eat."
Luo Qing and Wang Yun smiled shyly one after another.
After the meal, Shen Ping came to the quiet room in the spirit pool and sat down cross-legged.
Yu Yan and the others' cultivation techniques were temporarily enough to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. When they reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, they would change to other good cultivation techniques.
Luo Qing's Black Water Spirit Turtle bloodline cultivation method had long been resolved.
Now there was only his wife left. Shen Ping was not in a hurry to check the cultivation technique. He first opened the virtual interface. He glanced around. The purple crown frame changed a little.
[Heavenly Fire Silver Fox Bloodline Effect (Strong): Fire god art +5]
[Fire god art: Unowned (5/10,000)]
Seeing this, he could not help but think of Luo Qing's Black Water Spirit Turtle bloodline.
It was very likely caused by Spring Garden.
"Bloodline modification!" Shen Ping was deep in thought, but he quickly suppressed this thought and took out the core jade token.
Just as his divine sense seeped in, Yu Qingling's voice sounded out. "Fellow Daoist Shen, I'm very satisfied with the last exchange. I wonder if I can continue to exchange other comprehensions with Fellow Daoist Shen?"
When Shen Ping heard this, he could not help but reply, "Fellow Daoist Yu, the message from the Sound Insect Beast can only last for ten minutes. However, it seems that Fellow Daoist Yu already knows the uses of the Snow Ganoderma Pill and the Spirit Jade Ginseng."
After replying, he continued searching for the Heavenly Fire Cloud Scripture in the treasure vault. After a while, the detailed introduction of the cultivation technique, the cultivation resources, and the sales contribution points surged into his sea of consciousness.
After reading it, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not too expensive. He made a note of this. Shen Ping read the records of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect regarding dual cultivation and the special body of a woman again.
He was still amazed by the revised "Views of the Gateway".
Before reading this jade slip, he thought that his understanding of this path was considered to be knowledgeable. However, after reading it, he understood his own shortcomings. At the same time, he saw the magnificent scenery of the cultivation world.
Mortals did not have spiritual roots and could not cultivate. Naturally, they were no different from ordinary people.
However, cultivators were different.
The more special a body was, the easier it was to undergo strange changes during the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Condensation. For example, Yu Yan's Inner Charm Fire Body had a chance of transforming into a Flame Spirit Body during the Foundation Establishment process in the future.
And there was a division of inner and outer. Yu Yan had a special inner body. Perfected Qiu was on the outside.
This type of body recorded in the "Views of the Gateway" was the Spirit Sunflower Body. It could transform once in the Foundation Establishment Realm and once in the Golden Core Realm. If it transformed seven times in a row, it could become the final body. However, it was very rare for it to transform twice. The final body that transformed seven times could be said to be a rare item.
However, in the end, the jade slip did not introduce what the final body of the Spirit Sunflower Body was. It only briefly said, "Unknown, inaccessible."
Actually, after reading it, Shen Ping already understood that the reason why Perfected Qiu could cause the blood of the strange beast to boil was because of this Spirit Sunflower Body. This was because it was rare in the world to have an internal and external body that could undergo seven transformations.
Yu Yan could only transform twice. There would be no more changes after reaching the Golden Core realm.
At this moment, Yu Qingling replied, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you've misunderstood. I don't know the use of such a medicinal pill. I only found out through other means that we've already communicated. As for whether I know now, it's not important to me."
Shen Ping sent a message. "Fellow Daoist Yu, are you willing to swear?"
Yu Qingling: "…"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright!"
The oath was complete.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, if you need to exchange any insights, feel free to tell me."
"Fellow Daoist Shen, when we cultivate, we will always encounter troublesome days. At first, we can suppress it, but as time passes, this troublesome day becomes more and more difficult to resolve, especially… especially when it's late at night. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Shen resolves your worries?"
Shen Ping's expression froze. The scene of Yu Qingling sitting in the wooden house appeared before his eyes once more, and there was a faint curvature beneath the ribbon that fluttered on her shoulders.
Such an elegant and quiet little girl was actually asking him how to resolve his worries and difficulties. Which cultivator could withstand such a test!
"Are you still around, Fellow Daoist Shen?"
Listening to the voice, Shen Ping felt that the nameless fire in his heart was about to rise. He hurriedly took five deep breaths before barely suppressing it. "Fellow Daoist Yu, don't you usually have other good friends?"
"No."
"What about other familiar fellow daoists?"
"No… I've only known Fellow Daoist Shen until now."
The corners of Shen Ping's mouth twitched as he replied helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Yu, it's difficult for me to resolve such a problem!" His divine sense withdrew from the core jade token. He got up and paced back and forth in the quiet room of the Spirit Pool. However, the more he walked, the more distracting he felt.
In the end, he simply came to the bedroom in advance to find his wife and concubines to resolve his troubles.
…
It was October.
The number of high-level cultivators in Qingyang City gradually increased. Without exception, they were all participating in the grand auction that was held once every five years by the True Treasure Pavilion. After all, many rare treasures would appear in this auction, and there were even rare resources needed to form the core and condense the Nascent Soul.
Once he missed it, he would have to wait another five years. At that time, there might not be any.
On the second floor of the True Treasure Pavilion, Shen Ping came out of the contribution room and did not sit in the private room as usual. Instead, he came to the room in the backyard to drink tea and take a nap.
There were not many private rooms. Usually, they were where the deacons, shopkeepers and members above the level of second-grade guest elders rested. He was only used to staying in private rooms, but this preference had long been understood by other cultivators. As a result, every time he came to the private room to drink tea, he would encounter all kinds of accidents.
As he sipped his tea, he took the opportunity to think about his future cultivation life arrangements. Ever since he built his foundation, although he had carefully planned it, the progress in the Dao of Talismans had disrupted some of his arrangements. Pei Huoyu had also kindly reminded him to increase his time in the Dao of Talismans in the future.
In addition, he had to go to the next door to taste wine and speed up the absorption and digestion of the blood of strange beasts.
In response, Shen Ping agreed. Under normal circumstances, one would only have a trace of improvement in Foundation Establishment magic power after cultivating the Qianyuan Scripture for dozens of days. As long as he tasted wine once, he could achieve such an effect in an hour.
Therefore, he had to seriously plan his cultivation arrangements again.
Dual cultivation, meditation, talisman making, talisman cultivation…
Two hours at midnight were spent dual cultivating with his wife and concubines. From one to five in the morning, he had to go to Perfected Qiu's courtyard next door. At five, he would arrive at the room. At seven o'clock, he would eat with his wife and concubines. Then, he would meditate and cultivate cultivation techniques until three in the afternoon.
From three to seven, it was time to make talismans, followed by dinner. After dinner, from seven to nine o'clock, he would study talisman scriptures. Every three to four days, he would go to the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley.
As these thoughts rose and fell, Shen Ping had already roughly arranged his subsequent cultivation life, but this was only temporary. When Yu Yan built her foundation or his wife's cultivation was on the right track and could withstand more, the dual cultivation time would increase.
After all, this was the foundation.
After sitting for a while, Matchmaker Ceng sent a message. He guessed that it was most likely related to his wife's bloodline, so he got up and went to Spring Garden.
