Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 339: Shen Ping Is Not a Shallow Cultivator (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although most cultivators often talked about pursuing the Great Dao of Longevity, they knew that the so-called longevity was only an illusory Great Dao goal. It was already their greatest hope to truly break through to the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation realm. Now, the Beast Scripture was a visible path to longevity. No matter who had such a chance, they would do their best.

However, Shen Ping’s main goal was to make himself stronger. Only then could he better protect himself and his wife and Dao companions. He did not have to wander around and live a precarious life.

It was indeed stable and safe now. But what about the future? Having been forced to leave his hometown several times, he did not want to be so weak anymore. Once or twice, he could rely on his ‘talent potential’ to obtain protection, but if the True Treasure Pavilion could not protect him, what would he do then?

Along with the departure of the two Hall Masters, a group of elders, Perfected Lord Yu, and the others, the hall became empty again. The Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy glanced at Ying Yue and Yu Qingling, and he didn’t say anything before sitting cross-legged before the jade table and starting today’s lesson.

He gestured for Shen Ping to sit cross-legged. Then, he asked, “Talisman Master Shen, have you practiced the puppet technique before this?”

Shen Ping did not hide anything and replied truthfully, “Lord Sacred Envoy…”

“My surname is Yao. In the future, you can call me Sacred Envoy Yao or Senior Yao.” The Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy waved his sleeve and interrupted.

Shen Ping immediately changed his words. “Sacred Envoy Yao, I’ve studied puppet techniques and can barely make a low-grade level four puppet now.” The Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy was slightly surprised. “Level four puppet… For you to be able to reach such an achievement at such a young age, it seems that in terms of ordinary puppets, your talent is equally outstanding. Not bad.

“If you want to study Puppet Scripture, the standard of ordinary puppet techniques is very important. Without such a foundation, it’s impossible to comprehend anything in the Puppet Scripture. If you don’t have this skill, you have to study it from the beginning. But since you have it, I’ll teach you the basics of Puppet Scripture today!”

His refined and delicate face revealed a trace of relaxation. To master each of the Hundred Arts of the Immortal Dao, one had to spend a large amount of time accumulating. Even if one had talent, one had to study it persistently. To comprehend the Puppet Scripture, one had to at least have the standard of an ordinary puppet at the third level.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to even assemble the most basic puppet parts.

When the Moon Spirit Main Hall arranged for him to teach, to be honest, he was a little unwilling. It was mainly because Shen Ping was too monstrous in the Dao of Talismans. It was very easy for him to breed arrogance and conceit. Moreover, the most important thing was that there were very few core geniuses in the past who could be equally outstanding in dual skills.

Therefore, the Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy took it for granted that Shen Ping was ordinary in terms of puppets. He even had to study ordinary puppets. However, it seemed like he was wrong. Creating a level four puppet would undoubtedly save him a lot of time.

Whoosh. He flicked his sleeve. The suspension scroll appeared and floated to the jade table in front of Shen Ping.

“Every skill scroll has a basic scripture. The Talisman Beast Scripture you studied has 12 basic special spirit runes, while the Puppet Scripture has 36 basic special components. Each diagram of the five volumes of beast form is formed by these 36 special components.

“Compared to the Talisman Beast Scripture, although the Puppet Beast Scripture has 36 basics, there are no changes overall. However, don’t think that the Puppet Beast Scripture is simple because just the combination of 36 types is very complicated.”

The Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy looked at Shen Ping and said with a faint smile, “Back then, I spent 13 years of cold and summer cultivating the foundation of the Puppet Beast Scripture. In the end, I comprehended the different changes in all the combinations. If you can comprehend it in 30 years, it will be enough. After all, you cultivate Talisman Daoism at the same time. You will definitely be distracted.”

Shen Ping said humbly, “I will try my best to spend every day studying the basics of the Puppet Scripture.”

Although he had the Life Divine Puppet in his sea of consciousness and had a unique advantage in comprehending the final form, it was not very helpful in basic research. Back then, he had spent a few years studying the basics of the Talisman Scripture.

The puppet foundation involved 36 complicated combinations, which was undoubtedly even more difficult. Shen Ping was already mentally prepared for this when he was making the strange beast pattern puppet diagram.

“You’re worth teaching.” The Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy smiled. Hence, for the next four hours, he studied the basics of the Puppet Beast Scripture under the careful guidance of the Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy.

What was worth mentioning was that the Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy’s guidance was very patient. Originally, Shen Ping thought that if such a transcendent expert gave guidance, he might be taught in a daze and let him comprehend it on his own. However, the reality was very different.

It was almost the same as Perfected Yun Ya, who had taught him the basics of talisman scriptures in Linhai Immortal City. He explained the various changes in the combination of every puppet component. Moreover, as long as Shen Ping did not understand, he would continue to explain it a second time.

Facing the Sacred Envoy who had taught him so carefully, Shen Ping had no time to care about anything else. He was focused on cultivating. Just like that, time quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

It was midnight.

In the bedroom of the Fire Spirit Hall.

After immersing himself in sex several times, Shen Ping did not get up to cultivate in the quiet room like usual. He lay on the bed and hugged Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, and the other Dao companions who were curled up in his arms like kittens with his left and right arms. He told them some hypnotic stories from his previous life.

In the past, he had done this more than a few times in the narrow wooden house in Cloud Mountain Parlour. However, ever since he arrived at Cloud River Alley, Qingyang City, and Linhai Immortal City, he had never been like this.

Even Bai Yuying, Mu Jin, Luo Qing, Yu Yan, and the others, who had been in the Foundation Establishment realm for a while, quickly fell asleep, and a blissful smile appeared on their lips. They had the protection of their husband.

Not only could they obtain sufficient and rare resources to cultivate, but they also did not have to risk their lives outside. More importantly, their husband often accompanied them warmly. They cherished and satisfied such a life.

Even Qiu Ying, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, felt her heart completely warm in this life. The virtual frame became even deeper.

When he heard a long breath beside his ear, Shen Ping stopped. He looked at the fair and moist curves on his left and right. With a light wave of his hand, he covered his wife, concubine, and Dao companions with a brocade blanket. He still did not get up. Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered.

A month ago, the Foundation Establishment magic power in the meridians and dantian had already been polished to a round and thick level. There was no need to continue cultivating in the quiet room. All that was left was to wait patiently.

There was sufficient stock in the restricted resource treasure vault. He could apply to distribute it immediately, but the pill powder that assisted in increasing the level of the core pattern was different. It needed the alchemy grandmaster at the headquarters to refine it.

“The Holy Maiden…” He muttered silently. In the past three months, when he was cultivating the Puppet and Talisman Dao with Sacred Envoy Yao and Perfected Lord Yu, the Holy Maiden had hinted that she wanted to have a deeper interaction. There were several times when she wanted to invite him to the guest courtyard of the Dan Hai Hall as a guest. Shen Ping was not stupid and could naturally guess her thoughts.

Although the Holy Maiden was beautiful and had the extremely rare ten special physiques, Shen Ping, who had beautiful Dao companions, was no longer someone who had nothing in his previous life. How could he be easily bewitched?

Back in Qingyang City, he had encountered countless beautiful female cultivators displaying spiritual tea in front of him. He was not even moved by the shock of facing it head-on, let alone the Holy Maiden’s invitation.

Moreover, Shen Ping was a serious cultivator. How could he be so superficial that he would casually visit without even looking at the door? He could not help but think of all kinds of beautiful sceneries he had admired before. As his imagination ran wild, the fire in his lower abdomen could not help but burn again.

He looked at his sleeping wife and concubines. Helpless, he took out the core identity jade token and sent a message to Yu Qingling with his divine sense. In the past few days, the two of them had not communicated at all in the side hall, but they were so familiar with the communication space of the jade token that they could close their eyes.

A full hour passed.

Yu Qingling, who had stepped into Qi Deviation, had a flushed face. The sword-shaped mark between Yu Qingling’s brows was bright. She leaned on Shen Ping’s shoulder and suddenly said faintly, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I-I want to go berserk in the quiet room in the side hall!”

When Shen Ping heard this, he said in surprise, “Fellow Daoist Yu, aren’t you afraid that Senior Yu will find out?”

Actually, with his current status, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to really have sex with Yu Qingling. As long as they were in love, he believed that Senior Yu wouldn’t say anything. At most, their relationship would drop to the freezing point.

A crafty glint flashed in Yu Qingling’s intelligent eyes.. “Fellow Daoist Shen, are you afraid?”
