Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Perfected Qiu, who had suffered several times in a row, could not hold back the bitterness in her heart. Hence, there was this awkwardness.

"Guest Elder Shen, I don't know what happened at that time, but it was actually difficult for me to restrain myself. I hope you can understand." Perfected Qiu said apologetically.

Shen Ping shook his head and smiled. "Senior Qiu, you don't have to take it to heart. This is just the fun of dual cultivation. Moreover, Senior Qiu is a Golden Core Daoist. This bitterness is different from ordinary people." As he spoke, he stood up slowly. "It's getting late.

I'll come back tomorrow."

Perfected Qiu was overjoyed and personally sent him out with a smile. "This concubine's courtyard door will always be open. I'll be waiting for you at any time."

Back in the small courtyard.

Shen Ping took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Senior Pei, I've already confirmed that the boiling of the blood of the strange beast in my body is indeed closely related to the Spirit Sunflower Body. Moreover, the stronger the smell of this physique, the more intense the boiling."

Pei Huoyu was stunned. "What's that smell?"

Shen Ping said in a low voice.

Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping in shock, as if she had gotten to know him again. Then, she fell silent for a long time before saying faintly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, do you like this kind?"

"Not really. It's just a coincidence." Shen Ping shook his head. Seeing that Pei Huoyu did not seem to believe him, he hurriedly emphasized, "It was really an accident!"

Pei Huoyu's expression returned to normal. "I understand. However, from the looks of it, the reason why the strange beast blood in your body is boiling is mainly because you touched the smell of the Spirit Sunflower Body. The stronger the smell, the faster you absorb the blood. Fellow Daoist Shen, how many times do you think your limit is?"

Shen Ping said with a solemn expression, "Senior Pei, this is not a matter of the number of times. With my physique at the second level of Foundation Establishment, I can at most withstand five such surges."

Pei Huoyu frowned. "Only five times… In the future, you can use this method to taste wine. Try your best to absorb the blood. When your physique improves, you can slowly increase it."

…

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Wei Kingdom's Lantern Festival.

After this day passed, it was Shen Ping's 54th birthday.

Compared to the year before last, his Foundation Establishment magic powers were even richer. Although he had yet to reach the state of abundant magic powers, according to the speed of amplification brought about by the blood of the strange beast, he would be able to break through to the third level of Foundation Establishment in half a year.

At seven o'clock in the morning, under Pei Huoyu's protection, Shen Ping left Qingyang City and took a cloud boat to Little Spirit Peak.

During this period of time, he had devoted himself to studying the 12 special spirit runes of the Basics of Talisman Daoism. Now, he had completely grasped five of them. However, the remaining seven were more complicated. The number of special spirit runes that had evolved exceeded 400. If he didn't have any guidance and relied on himself to comprehend them, he would need a long time.

They had yet to reach their destination when Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu sensed the fluctuation of magic power not far away. "Cultivators are fighting!"

His spiritual sense had long reached the late Foundation Establishment Realm. With a slight sense, he saw several Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting on dharma artifacts. Moreover, looking at the direction of the fleeing cultivator in front of him, it was shockingly where he was.

"Oh no, they're coming." Shen Ping said nervously.

Pei Huoyu glanced at Shen Ping strangely. "There are a total of five cultivators in that group. The highest cultivation level is only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Fellow Daoist Shen, why are you so nervous? Even without my protection, you can easily kill them with your strength."

Shen Ping laughed dryly and cupped his hands. "Senior Pei, I'm not good at killing and fighting, and I've never fought with anyone."

Pei Huoyu could not help but say, "Although Fellow Daoist Shen is a talisman master, you have to cultivate some battle techniques. This is the foundation of us cultivators."

Shen Ping was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. "They're here."

When the Foundation Establishment cultivator at the front saw the cloud boat, joy flashed in his eyes. Almost instinctively, he shouted, "Fellow Daoist Hu, you're finally here. Quick, help me stop them!"

As for the four cultivators chasing after him, their expressions darkened. "Fellow Daoists, don't meddle in other people's business. Otherwise…"

However, before he could finish, the cloud boat suddenly flashed with a flame light. Then, the flame light turned into a sword flame and instantly crossed nearly a thousand meters.

Pfft.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who thought that he had survived a calamity burned in midair.

"It's a Golden Core Perfected!"

"Run!"

The expressions of the four cultivators changed drastically. One by one, they fled in different directions. Unfortunately, their full speed could not compare to the sword flames.

Puff, puff, puff!

In just a few breaths, four burning figures appeared in the air. When the cloud boat flew over, the five flames gradually disappeared. On the cloud boat, Pei Huoyu stretched out her sleeve. Soon, a flame-colored pattern returned and floated on her sleeve, fusing into a golden pattern.

When Shen Ping saw this scene, he could not help but ask, "Senior Pei, what level of Dharma treasure is your light armor dress?"

"This is a special Dharma robe tailored for me by Master. There are 36 golden patterns on the material of the Dharma robe, and every golden pattern is a Dharma treasure, so I'm not sure what level it is."

Pei Huoyu's expression was calm.

Shen Ping's eyelids twitched when he heard that. He forced a smile and said, "Senior Pei is indeed the core of the headquarters' Mountain Fire Hall. Your strength is indeed extraordinary."

In an area like the Wei Kingdom, the Nascent Soul Realm only used Dharma treasures, and top-grade Dharma treasures were rare no matter how high they were. In the end, Pei Huoyu's special Dharma robe contained 36 Dharma treasures. If she used them all, the power would be shocking.

Furthermore, this might not be Pei Huoyu's trump card. No wonder he dared to say that no matter what happened in these twelve countries, they could protect his safety.

Pei Huoyu said casually, "When you go to the headquarters in the future, you will know the powerful foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion."

Shen Ping's heart skipped a beat as he asked curiously, "Senior Pei, with your strength and foundation, I wonder if you can resist a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"The huge difference in cultivation can't be made up for with dharma treasures. Although I'm confident, I can only escape a thousand miles if it's a Nascent Soul cultivator. If the other party insists on chasing after us, we can only spend a considerable price to kill him." Pei Huoyu said calmly.

Shen Ping immediately became more confident and asked, "What if he becomes a Divine Transformation cultivator?"

Pei Huoyu looked over. "If you provoke a Divine Transformation cultivator, you're on your own."

As she spoke, the cloud boat landed in front of the cave abode of the Little Spirit Peak. They stepped into the cave abode.

Seeing that Shen Ping was distracted, Pei Huoyu could not help but say, "Fellow Daoist Shen, although Divine Transformation cultivators are strong, they are much weaker than our Mountain Fire Hall. If there really comes a day, I will ask Master to take action. Since I have become your Dao Protector, no one in the Wei Kingdom can hurt you under my watch."

Shen Ping revealed a relaxed smile. "Thank you, Senior Pei."

The two of them arrived in front of the palace. Perfected Yun Ya was sipping tea in the pavilion, so he immediately called them over. He sat cross-legged on the futon.

Shen Ping was not in a hurry to ask Perfected Yun Ya for an explanation. Instead, he patiently drank tea with him and admired the beautiful scenery of Little Spirit Peak.

Four hours later, Perfected Yun Ya had a gentle smile on his refined face. "Talisman masters should be able to endure and sit still. Furthermore, Talisman Master Shen is already close to the level of a talisman master in this aspect. If you have any doubts recently, you can tell me one by one now."
