Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Change It

Half a month later, all 12 sets of high-grade talisman materials were used up. Among them, only one of the Spirit Protection Talisman had succeeded. Two of the easier Golden Light Talismans were successfully made. The remaining materials were all scrapped.

This meant that Shen Ping had wasted 13 mid-grade spirit stones on his first attempt at making a high-grade talisman. Among the high-grade Talisman Masters, this was already a very good situation.

“I’m going out again, but the days of being on tenterhooks will soon end.”

Shen Ping looked forward to his beautiful life after moving to the market. Then, he placed the three high-grade talismans in his storage bag and instructed his wife and concubine to be careful. He left the house and went next door.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, it’s me.” He didn’t knock, he just called out softly.

“One moment.” After a while, the door of the house opened. A refreshing fragrance wafted over.

Shen Ping’s heart couldn’t help but ripple.

Yu Yan seemed to have just finished taking a bath. Her black hair was still wet, and one could clearly see the tiny blood vessels and tendons on her white and slightly red skin. They were like spider webs that extended downwards. Some led to gullies, while others climbed the pearl-shaped mountain peaks.

“You’re going out?” She asked lazily.

“Yes.”

In such a harsh season, Fellow Daoist Yu would only leave the house for the market after five to six days, sometimes, ten days to half a month. Shen Ping had only come to visit because Yu Yan was resting today.

“Wait here.” Yu Yan could not be bothered to mock her timid neighbor. After returning to her room to pack up, she went out fully armed.

On the way.

From the corner of his eye, Shen Ping noticed that the widow’s robe beside him was different from the last time. Although it was still at the mid-grade, there were more than ten spiritual runes on the surface of the robe. This meant that the function of this robe had increased.

Ordinary robes only had the effect of avoiding dust. The mid-grade robe added a Light Body Array that could increase the speed of one’s movement technique. On the other hand, a robe of a higher grade also had defensive spirit gathering functions.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, have you made a fortune recently?” He asked curiously.

Yu Yan glanced at Shen Ping and said casually, “I joined a relatively strong team a while ago and made a small profit.”

Shen Ping hurriedly said, “Congratulations.”

“Alright, stop flattering me. Hurry up and do your work. I’m still waiting to go back and take a hot bath. I’m getting old, so I have to take care of my face and protect myself. Otherwise, I can’t find someone to rely on when I don’t want to work hard in the future.” Yu Yan said meaningfully.

Shen Ping did not dare to speak. They arrived at the marketplace safely. He walked straight to the True Treasure Pavilion. High-grade talismans were items that attracted more attention. Only shops like the True Treasure Pavilion that had a good reputation and a strong background would be safe.

At the very least, it rarely aroused greed. Not to mention high-grade talismans, even if it was a talisman treasure, the True Treasure Pavilion would not be tempted.

Two Golden Light Talismans cost 52 medium-grade spirit stones. The Spirit Protection Talisman was sold for 43 medium-grade spirit stones.

The profits were high.

However, most high-grade Talisman Masters could only make one out of ten sets of materials under normal circumstances. If they were unlucky, they might not even be able to earn back the cost of the materials.

If he wanted to become proficient and increase the success rate, he would have to waste a lot of materials in the early stages.

Shen Ping’s rapid enhancement in the experience in the Dao of Talismans was equivalent to the painstaking work of other Talisman Masters who had just broken through to High Grade Talisman Master for more than ten years. Not only did it save a lot of time, but it also saved a lot of expense.

“I need to buy 25 sets of Spirit Protection Talisman materials and 30 sets of Golden Light Talisman materials.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

The cultivation and appearance of the female cultivators hired by the True Treasure Pavilion were indeed very good. It could make people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

A moment later, Shen Ping’s storage bag had an extra 15 mid-grade spirit stones after leaving the True Treasure Pavilion. He looked at the bustling main road. He was determined. “Soon, I’ll be a regular here.”

…

Next, he sold the mid-grade talismans he had made in the Spring Embroidery Pavilion and bought the daily necessities with ease. He returned in less than two hours. As usual, he handed Yu Yan two amulets.

The other party winked at Shen Ping in satisfaction and said with a smile, “If you went out a few more times, I wouldn’t have to risk my life in the Cloud Mountain Swamp.”

Shen Ping smiled and did not reply. He knew that Yu Yan was only joking.

Most cultivators risked their lives not to enjoy themselves, but to improve themselves, increase their cultivation, and pursue immortality. Even the Golden Sun Sect’s disciples with Heavenly Spirit Root could not stay in the cave dwelling to cultivate.

For someone like him who made talismans, sold them, and stayed at home to cultivate, he basically cut himself off from Foundation Establishment and longevity.

…

Late at night, Shen Ping, who had been busy all day, got up and did a chest expansion gesture. He walked out of the cubicle. Wang Yun, who had long crawled into the blanket, straightened her waist and asked shyly, “Husband, does this pink mandarin duck dudou I’m wearing look good?”

Shen Ping had yet to reply when Bai Yuying wrapped her arms around Wang Yun’s waist from behind and rested her chin on her shoulder. She winked and said, “Sister Yun’er, you can’t show the full charm of this dudou. If it were anyone else, I’m sure they would be able to charm your husband.”

The two girls immediately snickered.

“Good, you actually learned to tease your husband. Looks like I have to punish you tonight! Serve by the Family Law!” As Shen Ping pounced over, his wife and concubine screamed like deers.

Sex would always make one linger. No wonder the king didn’t attend the morning court assembly.

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the market to sell medium-sized courtyards. Early in the morning, the sky was still dark. Shen Ping took a rare bath and changed his clothes. His wife and concubine also woke up early to clean the house. When their husband returned this time, they would leave this place.

He carefully tidied his body, and went to the cubicle. Looking at the narrow space that could only accommodate one person, he stood silently. This talisman making room carried too many difficult memories.

Shen Ping wanted to end his life here several times. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured it. A moment later, he pushed open the door and left while his wife and concubine were filled with anticipation.

Yu Yan also woke up early today and dressed up carefully. Shen Ping could not help but be stunned when he saw her. He thought of the evil makeup technique in his previous life. It was truly earth-shattering.

“What? Don’t you recognize me?” Fine. These words pulled Shen Ping back from his thoughts. Yu Yan smiled and said, “Let’s go. There are many people today.”

The two of them left quickly. They arrived at the market’s Deacon Hall. A large number of cultivators lined up in a long line to settle the rental procedures.

“Sister Yu Yan. Hehe, I knew you would come today.”

When they were lining up, a female cultivator with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye walked over.

Yu Yan frowned slightly, “Fellow Daoist Qi, you are also here.”

The female cultivator with the beauty mark smiled like a flower and said, “Although I didn’t get a spot, it doesn’t stop me from coming here to watch the fun. Yo, who is this beside you?”

Shen Ping did not say anything. He could tell that the two of them seemed to be at odds.

“Don’t tell me he is the partner you’re co-renting with. Sister Yu Yan, I’ve begged you for so long, but you didn’t agree to share a house with me. It turns out that you have a new Dao companion!” The female cultivator with the beauty mark’s voice was not low. It attracted the attention of many cultivators in the queue.

Not far away, several cultivators also looked over and quickly walked over.

“Daoist Gao!” Yu Yan saw the leader and hurriedly greeted him.

The female cultivator with the beauty mark said gently, “Brother Gao, Sister Yu Yan brought her dao companion to rent a house today.”

Yu Yan did not explain.

Fellow Daoist Gao glanced at Shen Ping indifferently. “I’m at the fourth level of Qi Refinement. Change it. You can share the room with Qi Min.”

Yu Yan’s expression immediately turned ugly.

Shen Ping was even more stunned as he stood rooted to the ground.
