Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Shen Ping hurriedly took a few steps back and cupped his hands. "Senior Qiu, you must be joking. I was just lucky to have a blessing."

Seeing this, Perfected Qiu suddenly retracted her charm. She sat on the chair and made an inviting gesture. Then, she smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to be nervous. I just wanted to know if you like to taste wine. Now, it seems that you're not a wine lover!"

Shen Ping laughed dryly and did not say anything.

Swoosh.

Perfected Qiu raised her hand and made a grabbing motion. The jade pot floated over from the bedroom. As the wine was poured, the rich fragrance of wine wafted from the jade pot.

"Guest Elder Shen, please." She raised her glass and said. The two of them touched in the air and soon, the spirit wine entered their stomachs. "Other than wine tasting, I have another request. In half a year, the True Treasure Pavilion will hold a large-scale auction once every five years.

"At that time, rare Golden Core and Nascent Soul treasures will appear in the items and resources transported by the flying ship. With Guest Elder Shen's authority, you can directly use contribution points to exchange for it in the True Treasure Pavilion. Among them, there is a Golden Core treasure that is extremely important to a Perfected like me whose potential has been exhausted."

At this point, Perfected Qiu drank another cup of spirit wine and said faintly, "If Guest Elder Shen is willing to help, I can agree to any condition."

Shen Ping was enlightened. No wonder Perfected Qiu was so direct. It turned out that she could no longer advance. He looked at Perfected Qiu. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior Qiu, I will consider it seriously."

Perfected Qiu forced a smile. "Thank you, Guest Elder Shen." She didn't say anything else after that.

After he finished the pot of Foundation Establishment spirit wine, Shen Ping bade farewell. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, Perfected Qiu suddenly sent a voice transmission, "Guest Elder Shen, I don't have much time left. If there are no special circumstances, I have to return to the Northern Rock Marsh Region after hosting the auction in half a year.

The main station of the Wei Kingdom's True Treasure Pavilion is different from before. At least, there will be many changes during the time you stay."

Shen Ping paused for a moment, but he quickly recovered. Back in the courtyard, Pei Huoyu was sizing him up. He could not help but say, "Senior Pei seems to have something to say?"

Pei Huoyu said indifferently, "In the Wei Kingdom and even the surrounding countries, most Golden Core cultivators can't cross the threshold of the Nascent Soul Realm. Other than being limited by their aptitude, they don't have any resources. Perfected Qiu is doing this for resources. Fellow Daoist Shen is a man who likes women. I thought I would wait in the courtyard for a while."

Hearing this, Shen Ping did not feel awkward at all. Instead, he smiled. "Senior Pei, you think too highly of me. I'm only a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How would I dare to look up to a Golden Core cultivator?"

"Is that so? Pei Huoyu sneered. "The gaze you landed on me was more than you did with your Dao companion. It's not a good thing for cultivators to be immersed here." With that, her black hair fell, and her back view was revealed.

Shen Ping did not mind. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Senior Pei, I have something to ask you."

Pei Huoyu stopped at the door of the quiet room.

"The contributions issued by the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion seem to be different. D-rank core members all have 10,000 contribution points, but my contribution points are 100,000. Is there a specific difference?"

Pei Huoyu suddenly turned around. "100,000 contribution points? Fellow Daoist Shen, are you sure you didn't see wrongly?"

Shen Ping shook his head. "How can I be wrong about such a simple and clear display?"

Pei Huoyu stared at Shen Ping in a daze. Her eyes flickered with uncontrollable shock. As a member of the hall, She knew very well that the first contribution from the True Treasure Pavilion was greatly related to the assessment results.

Any contribution that exceeded the D-rank core members were definitely all candidates on the A-rank. Among them, the highest contribution was 150,000. He could obtain 100,000 contribution points. This meant that the Talisman Master in front of her, who was ranked on the A Ranking, could be ranked in the top 30 in the previous assessments.

It was unknown how many years had passed since the establishment of the True Treasure Pavilion. To be ranked in the top 30 of the previous A-list, even she could not imagine how terrifying it was.

"Senior Pei. Is something wrong?" Shen Ping noticed Pei Huoyu's expression and hurriedly asked.

Pei Huoyu came back to her senses and revealed a rare smile. "It's nothing. Fellow Daoist Shen must have performed outstandingly to be able to obtain 100,000 contribution points. This is not rare in the previous assessment. However, Fellow Daoist Shen, try your best not to tell others about this in the future."

Shen Ping nodded. "Understood." He cupped his hands and walked towards the quiet room of the spirit pool. After what had happened to Perfected Qiu, he felt that he had to seriously think about his Dao companion.

Pei Huoyu sat cross-legged in the quiet room. She took a few deep breaths in a row before she calmed down. The higher the status in the True Treasure Pavilion, the more she understood the meaning of the candidates on the A-rank.

The most obvious thing was the restricted-level items. For example, the blood of the strange beast on the bronze disc in the assessment was an item. Moreover, it could only be obtained if one successfully passed the assessment twice.

She stopped at the Golden Core Realm mainly to wait for an opportunity. To break through, she could form her Nascent Soul in a short period of time. However, such a Nascent Soul was not what Pei Huoyu pursued. The goal of competing for a Dao Protector was to obtain a special restricted item.

She had thought that she would have to wait for a long time. In the end, she did not expect that this Talisman Master Shen was actually an examinee ranked in the top 30 of the previous A Rankings.

Whoosh.

Pei Huoyu flipped her palm. A strange token carved with mountain flames slowly appeared.

Boom.

As the scorching flames burned, the token suddenly shattered.

Buzz.

A vast and boundless pressure descended. The raging flames were like a sun that vaguely condensed a face. It opened its eyes. The spiritual energy in the entire quiet room instantly froze.

"Huoyu, I told you not to use such a token unless you're in a desperate situation. There's no magic power fluctuation in the place you're in. Why did you crush the token?" His voice contained a trace of displeasure.

"Master. My Dao Protection this time…" Pei Huoyu replied respectfully.

A look of realization appeared on the face condensed by the raging flames. He said in a low voice, "This is a pleasant surprise. However, in the past, there was no lack of core members who were ordinary. Huoyu, you have to calm down. Don't be anxious because of this. After a while, I'll arrange for someone to send another scripture.

Teach it to this core member. If he can reach small success in this scripture, he can be nurtured with all our might. If not, there's no need to say anything else."

As soon as she finished speaking, the flames gradually dissipated. The quiet room returned to silence.

…

Mystic Immortal Pavilion.

In the quiet pavilion.

Fairy Cai Shang did not dare to hide anything and recounted the small matter that happened on the street of Huiquan Alley. The Pavilion Master was speechless. He did not expect things to turn out like this.

"Guest Elder Shen took the initiative to greet you. Since he can participate in a small banquet of Chong Ji, he naturally has an extraordinary status. Cai Shang, you've always had good taste. Why did you miss such a good opportunity?"

Fairy Cai Shang said with a bitter expression, "Pavilion Master, I was in a bad mood that day…"

"That's enough. Don't look for excuses. The key is to find a way to make up for it." The Pavilion Master stared at Fairy Cai Shang, "I heard that during the Foundation Establishment banquet, Chong Ji invited Guest Elder Shen to his spiritual vein cave abode to taste wine. Guest Elder Shen also agreed. This is the last chance. If you can't catch it, I can only arrange for others.

"Although your Solitary Dance under the Moon has become more and more exquisite, there are still many people better than you in the Northern Rock Marsh Region. And there's only 15 years. Cai Shang, do you understand?"

Fairy Cai Shang bowed and said, "Pavilion Master, don't worry. Cai Shang will definitely seize this opportunity. Even if I have to use all my methods, I have to get to know Talisman Master Shen and seek his understanding."

…

A few days later, in the private room on the second floor of Spring Garden, Matchmaker Ceng smiled warmly and said, "Talisman Master Shen, are you satisfied with the Foundation Establishment female cultivators in the jade slip? If they don't meet the requirements, I'll change some more in a few days."

Shen Ping thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Ceng, these Foundation Establishment cultivators are not bad, but there are no cultivators with special bloodlines among them."

Matchmaker Ceng heard this and asked tentatively, "Talisman Master Shen, are you looking for a female cultivator like Luo Qing?"

"That's right." Shen Ping said bluntly, "Although such a special bloodline physique has a lifespan limit, that should be limited to the Qi Refinement Realm. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator also has such a bloodline, they might be able to accompany me for a long time in the future."

Matchmaker Ceng hesitated for a moment and said, "Talisman Master Shen, there are very few Foundation Establishment female cultivators with special bloodlines, and most of them are in trouble. However, if Talisman Master Shen really has such a need, I will try my best to help search.

"But it will have to wait. In the meantime, you may choose one first. I said earlier that there's no need for any fees."
