Eternal life begins with saving my clan

After breakfast, Yu Yan brought them to the South City's shop.

Shen Ping did not go to the quiet room in the spirit pool to study the cultivation scriptures again. He walked to the talisman making room and took out the materials for a mid-grade Level Two talisman. First, he calmed his heart and prayed for blessings. Then, he began to make a mid-grade Lightning Talisman.

Compared to a low-grade Lightning Talisman, this mid-grade Level Two offensive talisman was more powerful. Even early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would be injured if they were unprepared.

Just like that, another three days passed. He looked at the failed portions of Lightning Talisman materials on the table and frowned even more. It was not easy to make mid-grade Level Two talismans.

It was normal to fail.

However, he had already stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his level in the Dao of Talismans had long reached the high-grade Level Two. Even if he failed, he shouldn't not even be able to outline the beginning of the hundred spirit patterns.

Before the assessment, Shen Ping could draw more than 400 spirit patterns. Now, as his strength increased, his level fell instead. This was very abnormal. He stopped the talisman brush. He walked out of the talisman making room.

He looked up.

The scorching sun that was approaching noon actually felt a little dazzling.

"I have a problem." He stood on the spot. He stared blankly at the scorching sun and sighed silently. That scripture still affected his state of mind in the end. He couldn't understand it. It meant too many things. Most of these things were attached to his identity as a special-class guest elder.

He shook his head, and thought of how careful his wife and concubines had been recently. He saw it, but he was so frustrated that he really could not have any other thoughts. From the corner of his eye, he saw a date tree in the corner of the courtyard. stay updated with m,v,l,e,m p _y,r

He walked over and picked up the gourd dipper to water it a few times. Then, he could no longer suppress his frustration. He took out the communication talisman and said in a low voice, "Hidden Spirit House, immediately!"

…

At Peng Yun Shop.

Mu Jin leaned against the counter in boredom. The contours of her silver-patterned waist and Yanluo dress pressed heavily against the counter, and her arms supported half of her face. Her eyes under the beautiful hair on her forehead were not as sweet as before.

The other female receptionist recruited in the shop was busy. From time to time, envy flashed in her eyes. They were both receptionists. However, the difference was not small.

Buzz.

She felt the talisman vibrate. Mu Jin took it out and looked at it, and her eyes instantly lit up. Especially when she heard the familiar voice that she had not heard for a long time, her legs could not help but tense up. She seemed to smell the unique smell emitted by the broad figure.

More than half a year of waiting, it was as if she had been waiting for this moment. She thought of the mountain-like ferocious strength. Mu Jin felt that something was about to rush out.

"Shopkeeper Tong, I have to go out. I won't be returning to the shop today."

Seeing Mu Jin's expression, the shopkeeper seemed to have guessed something and hurriedly said warmly, "Go. By the way, if possible, ask that guest if there are any Foundation Establishment Pills at the next auction of the True Treasure Pavilion."

…

Hidden Spirit House.

Mu Jin went to the private room. As the door opened, a look of astonishment appeared on her face. A valiant female cultivator in light armor appeared in front of her. The trace of magic power aura emitted from her body made it difficult for her to breathe.

"Greetings, Senior!" Mu Jin hurriedly bowed.

Pei Huoyu glanced at her and walked out of the private room expressionlessly. The door closed again. Her valiant brows furrowed slightly.

In the private room, Mu Jin quickly walked up to Shen Ping and asked curiously, "Talisman Master Shen, that senior just now was…" Halfway through her sentence, she looked at Shen Ping in a daze. That faint spiritual pressure pounced on her. "F-Foundation Establishment? Congratulations, Talisman Master Shen, for stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

She reacted. Mu Jin looked delighted.

Shen Ping didn't say anything. He reached out and grabbed the girdle of the skirt, pulling it towards him. The strong force immediately knocked Mu Jin into his arms. At the same time, a tear sounded. The material of the dress that was of good quality shattered.

Under the chandelier, her fair and smooth skin was not hidden at all. There was another tear. The heavy honeydew was no longer bound.

Mu Jin blushed. But soon, she frowned in pain. The date tree was hit by the wind and rain without any irrigation. She bit her lip. For some reason, a scene she had seen before appeared in front of her. It was a small boat floating on the lake.

It was weak and small. Every time a surging wave swept over, the small boat would shake violently.

There was even a large amount of lake water that surged into the boat. As for the honeydew placed on the small boat, it was like a rootless duckweed that swayed casually. The lake calms down during sunset.

However, the small boat was already in a mess. There was even a small hole at the bottom of the boat, and it no longer had its usual outline.

Mu Jin came back to her senses. Her messy black hair was shorter, and she silently cleaned it.

Shen Ping sat on the chair. Just like that, he watched quietly. When Mu Jin looked up, he asked lightly, "Do you still feel at ease?"

Mu Jin's sweet face suddenly broke into a smile. "This is what I want. Now that Talisman Master Shen has built his foundation, I will feel more at ease." Her eyes were clear. It was not complicated at all.

"Turn around. Sit… yourself."

Around nine in the evening, Qingyang City, Lushui Alley. This was Shen Ping's first time here. Seeing Mu Jin walking towards the dense houses in the alley with a happy smile on her lips, he quietly opened the virtual interface.

[You have dual cultivated with your dao companion 20 times. Water-element spiritual root aptitude+40, lightning-element spiritual root aptitude+40.]

[Your Dao Companion is obedient to you. Current favorability: 100+20]

[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 6]

[Silver Bonus: 10]

[Additional Bonus: 4]

[Water Spiritual Root (Pseudo): Low-grade (True) (4,200/50,000)]

[Lightning Spiritual Root (Pseudo): Low-grade (True) (4,200/50,000)]

A dazzling silver light bloomed. Shen Ping was stunned. In his heart, he had never taken Mu Jin seriously. She was just a companion he could summon at will. This time, he wanted to release his frustration to his heart's content, so he thought of Mu Jin. Even when they were dual cultivating, he had no scruples.

In the end, he did not expect a silver light to flash. He calmed himself down again. His gaze fell on the second line of words.

She was obedient.

"So this is Foundation Establishment." He looked up again. Mu Jin's back had already disappeared. However, the worry in Shen Ping's heart dissipated at this moment. He smiled and sighed. "This is Foundation Establishment!"

So what if he couldn't understand the scriptures? As long as he kept moving forward and improving, the future he looked up to, the future he looked forward to, would come true one by one.

"Let's go home." Shen Ping said with a relaxed expression.

Pei Huoyu fell behind with a strange expression on her face. She had naturally noticed the change in the mental state of this core member, but the more she thought about it, the more she did not understand. He had only doted on a female Qi Refinement cultivator, but he could actually calm his mind?

…

Late at night, in the bedroom. Shen Ping returned to his usual bravery. After a few consecutive times, his wife and concubines were completely convinced. Although they were very tired, his wife and concubines were very happy. Luo Qing, who was sitting cross-legged beside the bed, smiled.

In the small courtyard that had been silent for dozens of days, laughter and conversation resumed. Even the date tree in the corner was fragrant under the sunlight.

The next day, not long after breakfast, a visitor arrived at Small Courtyard A13 of Huiquan Alley.

"Senior Qu, please come in." Shen Ping hurriedly cupped his hands.

Shopkeeper Qu stepped into the small courtyard with his dignified and beautiful Dao Companion. His face was filled with a warm smile. "Guest Elder Shen, you've successfully built your foundation now. It's not appropriate to call me a senior. In the future, you can just call me Fellow Daoist."

Shen Ping nodded. "Fellow Daoist Qu, since we're not strangers, don't call me Guest Elder anymore."

Shopkeeper Qu immediately clapped. "That's more like it, Fellow Daoist Shen." They looked at each other and smiled. They arrived at the hall. Shopkeeper Qu first introduced his Dao companion, then asked in a low voice, "Where's that senior?"

"Senior Pei is in the quiet room. She doesn't like to be disturbed."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Qu nodded repeatedly. They exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, they got to the point.

Shopkeeper Qu's visit this time was mainly for the Foundation Establishment banquet. He heard from Deacon Xia that there might be Nascent Soul cultivators sitting at Guest Elder Shen's banquet. This way, even the Guest Elders of the True Treasure Pavilion might not be qualified to be invited.

Although Shopkeeper Qu was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and his status was higher than that of a third-grade guest elder, he was inferior to a second-grade guest elder.

Therefore, he came over mainly to probe.

"Fellow Daoist Qu. We met in Qingyang City. If I don't have you at this Foundation Establishment banquet, wouldn't it be a huge pity? There's also Shopkeeper Ding. His journey from Cloud Mountain Parlour is rather far. I still have to ask Fellow Daoist Qu to inform him in advance!" Shen Ping said seriously.

When Shopkeeper Qu heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "Fellow Daoist Shen, don't worry. I'll inform Shopkeeper Ding in advance. Also, as for Guest Elder Chong…"

Shen Ping said doubtfully, "Senior Chong has been bringing his disciples out to train for the past few years. It's said that he's deep in the hinterland of Yue Kingdom and doesn't know his whereabouts. Even if he's notified, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for him to rush back."

Shopkeeper Qu smiled and said, "Guest Elder Chong returned to the Wei Kingdom last month. He's now in the southern region of the Wei Kingdom. If he knew that you had built your foundation, he would definitely rush back with his disciples."

Shen Ping understood the meaning behind Shopkeeper Qu's words. If Guest Elder Chong participated, it was very likely that he would bring his disciples along. He thought of the small banquet at Qingyang Lake last time. The scene of the disciple of Guest Elder Chong being polite and humble and personally pouring wine for him. He smiled and said, "In that case, let's inform them together."

They chatted casually for a while. Shopkeeper Qu left with his Dao Companion. Not long after they left, a Golden Core Realm cultivator came at the entrance of the small courtyard.
