Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Very Straightforward

Two days later, a blizzard swept through the Cloud Mountain City Square. The skylight had just opened when the snowflakes that filled the sky rushed in. The howling cold wind seemed to be mixed with an angry roar, causing Shen Ping’s robe to flutter.

He looked up at the dark sky without any starlight. He waved his hand. The room instantly fell silent. His wife, Wang Yun, stepped forward and said gently, “Husband, it’s snowing so heavily outside. Senior Yu probably won’t be back tonight. Do you want to rest early?”

Shen Ping nodded. Just as he was about to return to the main room, he heard the soft sound of the door opening on the first floor. He looked sideways and saw that Yu Yan was wearing a light red robe that covered most of her body, but he could still vaguely see a mask on her face.

She seemed to have noticed the figure on the second floor.

Yu Yan was stunned at first, but then she said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Shen, why aren’t you enjoying yourself with your wife and concubine at this time of the night? Why are you waiting outside? Don’t tell me you’re waiting for me?”

Before Shen Ping could say anything, Yu Yan quickly walked into the main room. Her voice came from the door. “Let’s talk tomorrow morning. I have to recuperate. I’m too tired. By the way, don’t stay up too long.”

He looked at the closed main room. Shen Ping shook his head. He could hear Yu Yan’s fatigue. It was indeed not good to disturb her now. The next day, he went downstairs before dawn and waited at the door.

Until he smelled the fragrance of the petals did he raise his hand.

Click.

Before she could knock on the door, Yu Yan walked out. She leaned against the door with her arms crossed and a faint smile on her lips. “How long has Fellow Daoist Shen been standing outside? Don’t worry, the spirit stones I owe you can be returned next month.”

Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands. “Fellow Daoist Yu, I didn’t come here so early to collect a debt.”

Yu Yan was puzzled. “Then you’re…”

“I want to take another concubine. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yu is willing to consider it?” Shen Ping spoke without any hesitation.

“No.” Yu Yan was also very straightforward. Shen Ping immediately looked embarrassed and did not know what to say. “Fellow Daoist Shen, is there anything else?”

“No.”

“Would you like to come in?”

“This… I won’t disturb Fellow Daoist Yu’s bath.”

Back on the second floor, Shen Ping’s face was a little red. He entered the talisman making room and prayed for blessings several times. After calming down, he realized that something was wrong.

However, in order to avoid getting the wrong idea, he didn’t think too much. Instead, he abandoned all distracting thoughts and crafted talismans. Late at night, after the sex, he told his wife and concubine about this.

“Husband, does Senior Yu have any concerns?”

“That’s right. With Senior Yu’s personality, even if she wasn’t willing, she wouldn’t have rejected you so straightforwardly.”

He had the same thoughts as his wife and concubine. Shen Ping thought of Fellow Daoist Yu’s actions over the past few days and felt that it was a little unusual.

“I’ll get to the bottom of it next time. If Fellow Daoist Yu really can’t do it, then ‘ll look for Matchmaker Ceng again.”

Every time Yu Yan came back, she would only stay for a day. He could only wait for half a month.

…

After that, Shen Ping stayed in his room. Every day, other than making talismans, he would meditate and cultivate. He would have sex with his wife and concubine. Although this kind of life was very boring, seeing his cultivation level increase bit by bit every day made him immersed in the feeling of fulfillment.

He had a golden finger. So he didn’t want to take the risk at all. In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. It was another auction held by the True Treasure Pavilion. Shen Ping was hesitating if he should go. He still had some spirit stones in his storage bag. If there were not many cultivators fighting over it, he could buy the spirit liquid.

At this moment, the Communication Talisman flashed. It was Shopkeeper Chen.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, if you have any talismans in reserve, you must sell them as soon as possible. After some time, the price of the talismans will drop drastically. At that time, we will lose a lot if we sell them again.”

Shen Ping was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Shopkeeper Chen, can you tell me in detail?”

The price of the talisman was closely related to him. If the price was greatly reduced, his income would plummet. The daily necessities such as high-grade spirit rice, spirit beast meat, spirit herbs, medicinal pills, spirit liquids, and so on had to be reconsidered.

Shopkeeper Chen quickly replied, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I’m not too sure about the exact situation. I only know that there’s a problem with the Golden Sun Sect’s main sect. Be it talismans, medicinal pills, array discs, and so on, many of the prices have fallen. After a while, it will affect the Cloud Mountain Branch Sect, so if there are talismans, hurry up and deal with them.”

Shen Ping’s heart sank as he asked, “Shopkeeper Chen, is something wrong with the Golden Sun Sect’s main sect?”

If the Golden Sun Sect collapsed, the entire Cloud Mountain Parlour would be in turmoil. It was not easy for him to live a stable and safe life. He did not want to return to the trembling and precarious life he had in the past.

After waiting for a moment, Shopkeeper Chen then replied, “The Golden Sun Sect has several Nascent Soul Cultivators guarding it. I think it’s just a small problem. We’ll know after some time.”

Shen Ping felt slightly relieved.

The Golden Sun Sect was a large sect that had been passed down in Wei Kingdom for tens of thousands of years. It had a very strong foundation. There were also several Nascent Soul elders in the sect. It was said that there was even a Great Nascent Soul cultivator. How could it collapse so easily?

“Manager Chen, thank you for informing me.” After replying, he tidied up the talisman making room and immediately walked out of the house. After arriving at the market, He was not in a hurry to go to the Spring Embroidery Pavilion. Instead, he went to the True Treasure Pavilion first.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, you didn’t go to the auction today?” Mu Jin was surprised to see Shen Ping.

Precious items would appear in the auctions of the True Treasure Pavilion every time. Even if the rogue Talisman Masters didn’t buy anything, they could gain a lot of knowledge and experience just by participating.

Shen Ping shook his head and asked in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist Mu, is the price of the talisman going to fall recently?”

Mu Jin could not help but size up Fan Shen Ping. She thought to herself that this Talisman Master Shen was quite well-informed. She nodded slowly and said, “Yes, it will fall. In a few days, our True Treasure Pavilion will inform every talisman master and alchemists. Since Fellow Daoist Shen knows in advance, if you have talismans in your hands, please deal with it as soon as possible. The drop this time will be quite big. Fellow Daoist Shen, you’d better be mentally prepared.”

Shen Ping did not hesitate and immediately took out ten high-level talismans from his storage bag and handed them over. After the settlement, Mu Jin reminded him, “Fellow Daoist Shen, the market might be a little unsafe in the near future. Try not to go out.”

He left the True Treasure Pavilion. Shen Ping felt as if a huge rock had fallen on his heart along the way. The drop in the price of the talisman itself was bad news. A while ago, he had mourned for the group of artifact masters in the market. Now, it was his turn. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Mu’s last reminder revealed a lot of information.

Cloud Mountain Parlour was adjacent to the Golden Sun Sect. Usually, there were outer sect elders guarding it. Every once in a while, they would send out law enforcement patrols to carry out daily patrols.

To be able to make the marketplace unsafe was no small matter.

When he arrived at the Spring Embroidery Pavilion, he took out the remaining high-level talismans and said respectfully, “Many thanks, Shopkeeper Chen. If there’s any news from the main sect, please inform me as soon as possible.”

When Shopkeeper Chen saw the three golden light talismans, his face revealed enthusiasm. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you don’t have to be so polite. If there’s any news, I’ll definitely inform you.”
