Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Moving House

For half a month, Shen Ping was staring at the fluctuations in the price of the talismans in the market. Every time they fell, he would feel depressed. Even the quality of his dual cultivation had decreased a little.

His wife and concubine also understood their husband very well. After all, talismans were the only source of income in the family. This concerned their future. However, the two women could not do anything. They could only comfort their husband to let it go.

“The Spirit Protection Talisman fell to 37 mid-grade spirit stones, and the Golden Light Talisman fell even more fiercely. It has already fallen past 20 spirit stones. How can I accept it?” Shen Ping felt helpless. It didn’t matter much if the price of the mid-grade talismans fell. However, the high-grade talismans were also affected by the fluctuations. It was a little fatal.

Fortunately, the price had finally stabilized in early June, which made him heave a sigh of relief. He checked his storage bag. There were also 63 mid-grade spirit stones, a high-grade spirit stone, a set of low-grade dharma weapons, 35 low-grade spirit stones, and several bottles of various medicinal pills.

This was their entire family fortune. It seemed like a lot, but Shen Ping knew that it could not withstand the expenditure.

“When I move to the market, I have to buy a robe for my wife and concubine. They don’t need dharma weapons for the time being, but I have to prepare at least two dharma weapons and a robe. Although the market is safe, I’m afraid of accidents.” He calculated in his heart. In the past, when he did not have the ability, he could only make do. However, now that he had some savings, he had to arrange for protective measures.

No matter how big the world was, it was not as big as his life. Any mid-grade magic robe and dharma weapon would cost more than ten mid-grade spirit stones. If one wanted to buy a high-grade dharma weapon, the price would be even more shocking.

A talisman of the same grade could not compare at all.

Simply put, talismans were equivalent to daily necessities, while dharma weapons were commodities.

“Spirit stones aren’t omnipotent, but you can’t do it without spirit stones. However, there’s no need to be in a hurry. I have to do my best.” He sighed. He continued to work on his talismans. The market was safe. Even if he revealed a little wealth, it would not be a big problem.

As the middle of June approached, his wife and concubine were clearly excited. If not for the complicated movements of the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique that required a lot of time, Shen Ping would definitely not be able to take it.

“We’re moving tomorrow. Pack up everything you need to pack. Don’t leave it in the house.”

“Husband, we’ve already packed up.”

The pink and purple dudous of his wife and concubines swayed under the chandelier, making Shen Ping’s legs go weak. He coughed a few times and said calmly, “The two of you should sleep early and rest.”

Wang Yun subconsciously said, “Husband, tonight…”

“Sleep and rest well!” Shen Ping quickly interrupted.

…

The next day, a ray of morning sunlight shone down. There was an unconcealable smile on his wife and concubine’s tender face as they excitedly strode out.

Shen Ping was not in a hurry to walk out. Instead, he turned around and looked at the empty house. Memories flashed through his mind until his wife and concubine shouted a few words outside. He then smiled and said, “Let’s go!”

After he closed the door, he took a breath of fresh air. Then, he brought his wife and concubine to the house next door.

Creak.

The door opened just then. Yu Yan, who had dressed up meticulously, walked out.

“Senior Yu!” His wife and concubine hurriedly bowed.

Yu Yan smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so polite. In the future, we’ll live under the same roof. Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t you think so?” A sly look appeared in the corners of her eyes.

If he had not confirmed Yu Yan’s age, Shen Ping would have thought that the person standing in front of him was a beautiful and nimble girl. “That’s right. Since we’re co-renting, we have to live under the same roof. Please take care of me in the future.” He cupped his hands in a serious manner.

Yu Yan pursed her lips and said in boredom, “Since you’re done packing, let’s go.” She immediately led the way.

Shen Ping followed. When he looked up, he noticed a pair of jade-colored earrings on the other party’s small and exquisite earlobe. He smiled imperceptibly and thought to himself that women were indeed vain, and this widow was no exception.

They stepped on the bumpy street. The four of them walked briskly. Before they walked out of Red Willow Alley, cultivators walked over from other alleys and gathered together.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, are you going to pay the rent today?”

“Fellow Daoist Shen…”

These cultivators greeted each other. However, someone soon noticed the two women following closely behind Shen Ping.

The female cultivator who often washed up in the Red Stone River couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Eh, Fellow Daoist Shen, why did you bring your wife and concubine out today?”

Shen Ping smiled and replied, “We’re moving. We might not live in Red Willow Alley in the future.”

The female cultivator sighed. “Sigh, Red Willow Alley’s rental fees are indeed a bit expensive now. I didn’t think that even Fellow Daoist Shen would have to move away.”

The other cultivators couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Shen, where are you moving to? If it’s safe, we’ll go over later.”

Shen Ping had yet to speak when Bai Yuying, who was behind him, could not help but say, “We’re living on the east side of the market!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the footsteps of the surrounding cultivators disappeared. Shock and astonishment gathered on Shen Ping’s body. No one cared if a concubine was qualified to answer on such an occasion. They all wanted to know whether this was the truth.

Shen Ping tried his best to add in a calm tone, “I got to know a senior some time ago and was lucky enough to get a spot.”

Swoosh.

Their originally surprised gazes immediately turned into envy and jealousy. Especially when they saw Shen Ping’s wife and concubine. This gaze seemed to have materialized and completely drowned them.

The quota for the small courtyard in the market!

Not to mention the safety, just the fact that it was connected to the spiritual vein of the Golden Sun Sect was enough to drive cultivators crazy. Not to mention the large group of late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators living there. This was a proper networking resource.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shen!”

“Fellow Cultivator Shen is indeed the strongest Talisman Master in Red Willow Alley!”

“Fellow Daoist Shen, you have a wide network!”

These cultivators were not stingy with their compliments.

A quick-witted cultivator immediately blurted out, “Fellow Daoist Shen, can we rent together? I’m willing to bear the rent of ten mid-grade spirit stones every year!” He regretted his words immediately.

The surrounding female cultivators’ eyes lit up like kittens in the night. That’s right. Every house in the small courtyard had two floors and could be rented together. Besides, even if it was just one room, they could still squeeze in.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, as long as we can share the rent, I’m willing to do anything.”

“Fellow Daoist Shen, I feel that my looks are alright. If you don’t mind, I’m willing to serve you forever.”

“If Fellow Daoist Shen is willing to give me a chance to share the rent, I can bear all the rent!”

Spiritual energy voice transmissions sounded one after another. Shen Ping’s lips twitched. Yu Yan, who was in front of him, swept her gaze over and said indifferently, “I’ve already co-rented with Fellow Daoist Shen. Fellow Daoists, excuse me.”

The female cultivators sighed dejectedly and could only laugh dryly. “Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Yu.”

The other male cultivators also cupped their hands and said, “Fellow Daoist Yu is so lucky. Congratulations.”

Although they no longer had the chance to share a house, they were still very enthusiastic. To be able to fight for such a spot, this meant that the senior that Fellow Daoist Shen got to know probably had a high status, and Shen Ping could only use his Talisman Daoism skills.

Hence, if nothing went wrong, the senior that the other party got to know was most likely a high-grade Talisman Master.
