Chapter 80: Sea of Talismans
"I'm fine. Qing'er. Yu Yan. Let's go home." Shen Ping said with a smile.
Yu Yan was stunned. She suspected that she had heard wrongly. "Husband, what did you call me just now?"
Shen Ping repeated seriously, "Yu Yan."
"Husband~" Yu Yan held Shen Ping's arm as a myriad of emotions flashed in the corners of her eyes.
Three figures strolled away along the main road. They returned to the small courtyard in Qinghe Alley.
Shen Ping directly entered the quiet room. For the next ten days, he had been meditating and cultivating. When he was frustrated, he would go to the talisman making room to make talismans and puppets. He did not even comprehend twice a day.
On the eleventh day, the Communication Talisman flashed. It was Shopkeeper Ding. Shen Ping hurriedly listened. "Arrived safely!"
The moment he heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed.
The True Treasure Pavilion had been operating in Qingyang City for hundreds of years. No matter how big the changes and accidents were, there would be no problem.
He walked out of the quiet room. It was rare for Shen Ping to take a walk in the small courtyard. At this moment, he finally had the time to open the virtual interface. He glanced at it.
The dazzling golden color of the virtual interface almost blinded him.
"Gold!" He stood rooted to the ground and smiled in relief. Now, he completely understood why no matter how he tried to accompany them, their favorability remained unchanged. And now the golden color came naturally. He gathered his thoughts. He looked over again.
[Your wife has been by your side for life and death. Current Emotional Points: 100]
[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 10]
[Gold Bonus: 50]
[Talisman Dao Mystique: Sea of Talisman (Hundred Talismans) (0/1,000)]
[Talisman Master: Level Two Low-grade (149,496/150,000)]
After reading it, a large amount of information about Talisman Dao Mystique was engraved in Shen Ping's sea of consciousness and muscle memory. He quickly understood.
This Sea of Talisman was a mystical ability created by the virtual interface. Its specific power was determined by the grade of the talismans. Now, once it was used, it could burn hundreds of talismans in an instant to form a circular talisman light wheel. It could attack and defend.
Most importantly, there was no need to consume any spiritual energy. He stopped for a moment. Shen Ping could not hide the excitement on his face. He did not expect that after the virtual frame transformed into gold, there would be such a huge change. This was a divine power!
Although it was only a Talisman Dao Mystique, every divine power had great power. Those who could cultivate successfully were all prodigies or powerful cultivators of the sect.
"Yun'er." He could not help but mutter. At the same time, he was extremely glad that he was still human. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see such a surprise. "Sea of Talisman. With this divine power, I finally have a trace of self-preservation. But burning a hundred talismans is really extravagant."
Shen Ping smiled. Then, he entered the talisman making room again. He had thought that the efficiency of making talismans was not slow, but now it seemed that it was far from enough.
…
At night, Shen Ping, who was in a very good mood, quietly went to the room. Yu Yan was wearing a thin gauze dress and combing her messy hair. Her ears twitched. She turned around and looked at the figure in front of her with a smile. "Looks like they're safe."
"Yes, they have successfully arrived at Qingyang City."
The worry in Yu Yan's heart instantly disappeared. She crossed her arms and the sweet grapefruits collided with each other. Her lips curved slightly. "So, you're here."
Shen Ping swallowed and nodded heavily.
"What do you want to do?"
"I thought of the endless meadow, I want to sink my waist and rein in my horse."
Yu Yan's curves gradually rose and fell. The corners of her eyes were already filled with charm. "And then?"
Shen Ping thought, "When I'm tired, I'll drink a mouthful of sweet mountain spring water." The fragrance wafted into his nose.
"Continue!"
"When the Spirit Platform is empty, I still want to look at the flat ridgeline from afar and admire the majesty of the mountain range. That wrinkled rock layer is the precipitation of time…"
Yu Yan leaned forward, and the outline of the gauze dress quickly flattened. Her breathing became a little unnatural as she interrupted, "Now! Immediately! Straight away! I want you to turn into a flood dragon!"
How could Shen Ping wait? He strode forward. The obstruction disappeared. Their gazes intertwined. His pupils were dark, as if the sun and moon had lost their light. The battle of Dao techniques between cultivators had always been a life and death battle.
There was no room for negotiation.
However, as a chill approached her intimate parts, Yu Yan suddenly woke up from her dao immersion. "What is that?"
"Snow Ganoderma Pill. It's a must for Dao companions. It can effectively increase the cultivation. It cost me everything!" Shen Ping smiled and said, "Now, we can finally play 'Dragon Playing with Pearls'!"
"Squandering… Ah!"
Although the Snow Ganoderma Pill could not compare to the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment, its medicinal effect was even stronger than Shen Ping had expected. In the past, when he lowered his waist and reined in his horse, he would feel endless firepower crushing over from all directions. However, at this moment, it was cold, a heart-piercing cold.
Looking at the slight frown between Yu Yan's eyebrows, Shen Ping knew that all of this was worth it!
Time passed slowly. The Snow Ganoderma Pill became smaller and smaller. However, the bed was swaying. The sun and moon rotated. Countless moments passed. The exchange of Dao techniques finally ended.
It was as if the Great Dao had been obliterated.
Yu Yan closed her eyes and reminisced. Shen Ping opened the virtual interface and scanned through the front.
[You have dual cultivated with your Dao Companion 20 times. You have received +40 Puppet Master Experience.]
[Your dao companion has deep feelings for you. Current favorability: 100+20]
[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 6]
[Silver Bonus: 10]
[Inner Charm Fire Body Effect: Additional divine sense +1]
[Dual Cultivation Immersion Effect: Additional Constitution +1]
[Puppet Master: Level 1 High-grade (16,152/50,000)]
[Divine sense: Early-stage Foundation Establishment (9,182/120,000)]
The others did not change much.
However, after his divine sense was raised to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it actually did not decrease greatly. This was somewhat unexpected. It had to be known that when his Talisman Master transformed to the second level, the experience he could obtain from Wang Yun every time shrunk greatly.
"Could it be because of her special physique?" He thought of this. Apart from his divine sense, there was also an additional dual cultivation immersion effect this time.
Compared to having sex with his wife and concubine, he was indeed very immersed. Shen Ping's alertness to the outside world had even decreased a lot. Although his physique had increased, there was no specific state of his physique. This made him a little uncertain if it was a coincidence or a certainty.
While he was deep in thought, Yu Yan, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and smiled secretly. "Husband, was the spring water delicious?"
Shen Ping had yet to reply. Yu Yan's coquettish voice came naturally from her lips. "I didn't expect that the true pleasure of having sex was indeed paradise on earth. Husband, do you want to continue to exchange cultivation insights?"
Shen Ping felt his legs go weak. He said seriously, "The comprehension of cultivation is mainly about accumulation. Only by accumulating more can you gain something during the exchange."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "You're right!"
After a while, the two of them soaked in the wooden bucket. When his mind recovered, Shen Ping ignored Yu Yan's various charms and said casually, "I'll make a trip to the True Treasure Pavilion first and ask when the flying ship will leave next time."
Seeing that Shen Ping was talking about serious matters, Yu Yan did not continue to joke. She said softly, "Husband, leave as soon as possible. This Cloud Mountain Swamp is not a place to stay for long. If you can go to Qingyang City, I believe you will definitely build your foundation with your talent and potential in the Dao of Talismans."
Shen Ping changed into his robe and kissed Yu Yan's forehead. "Don't slack off either. I hope to have your company on the path to Foundation Establishment."
Yu Yan said affectionately, "Yes, husband. I will work hard."
…
Before going to the market's True Treasure Pavilion, Shen Ping sat cross-legged in the quiet room to rest for a while before coming to the private room on the second floor. After moving to Qinghe Alley, he did feel that it was convenient.
When he saw Mu Jin, he asked for information. Mu Jin shook her head. "I'm not sure. It'll probably take two or three months. Talisman Master Shen, you can ask Shopkeeper Ding."
Hence, Shen Ping quickly found Shopkeeper Ding.
In the True Treasure Pavilion.
Although Shopkeeper Ding was not a guest elder, it was said that his connections and background were very deep. Even Guest Elder Cui and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators had to treat him with respect.
"One more month. It's getting more and more dangerous in the cave abode now. As the third level opens, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators of the various large sects seem to have seen something. They will definitely evacuate their disciples in the next half a year."
Shen Ping's expression immediately relaxed when he heard that. He smiled and said, "It should be the guest elders' turn next, right?"
Shopkeeper Ding nodded. "The first batch is mainly to probe and confirm that there are no problems. The cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement Realms will be the first to leave. The Golden Core elders and deacons probably still want to wait and see, so they will delay it."
"Thank you for telling me, Shopkeeper Ding!"
"You're too kind, Talisman Master Shen. If you can stand out in Qingyang City, you might even be able to go to the headquarters."
Shen Ping's expression changed. "The headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion?"
Shopkeeper Ding nodded and sighed with emotion. "That's the place cultivators of our generation should go the most. However, the conditions to go are very harsh. When you arrive at Qingyang City, Talisman Master Shen might know."
There seemed to be yearning in his eyes as he spoke.
Shen Ping could not help but be curious.
