The spring rain was as smooth as oil. A long drought brings rain. When the hot water in the wooden bucket surged from all directions, Shen Ping could not help but shiver. He thought that he had been on the battlefield for a long time and could conquer everything.

However, when they fought with real swords and spears, he was stunned to discover that there were some things that he could not control.

Looking at Yu Yan’s gaze, Shen Ping looked embarrassed and could not help but mutter in his heart, “That shouldn’t be the case. It must be because of that Dragon Playing with the Pearls’. Sigh, I was still tricked!”

Yu Yan’s eyes were filled with spring, and the corners of her mouth carried a trace of a faint smile. “Fellow Daoist Shen, every time you’re with your wife and concubine, you’re not like this. Why aren’t you as brave as before today? Are you nervous?”

Shen Ping said seriously, “Fellow Daoist Yu, you must be joking. How can I be nervous?”

As he spoke, the sound of water rippled. Soon, the ripples in the wooden barrel gradually calmed down.

Shen Ping frowned. Yu Yan did not say anything. The room was so quiet that only the sound of heartbeats could be heard.

Five minutes passed.

Yu Yani said faintly, “Fellow Daoist Shen, you don’t have to blame yourself. This is very normal… Actually, I…”

Shen Ping refused to believe it and gritted his teeth. Twenty minutes later, he had lost. He was completely defeated. He silently got up and walked out of the wooden bucket. Standing at the door of the main room, he said calmly, “I’ll come again another day.”

When he stepped on the wooden stairs, Yu Yan’s voice transmission came, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I will take a bath at dawn every day. I hope that Fellow Daoist Shen can come and help me!”

Hearing this, Shen Ping staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough to grab the handrail of the stairs. “Like a wolf Like a tiger. The ancients did not lie to me! Dragon Playing with Pearls is too weak.”

Only then did he regain his confidence. After stabilizing himself, he flicked his sleeve and walked towards the quiet room with his hands behind his back. He sat down cross-legged.

Shen Ping opened the attribute panel, his eyes filled with anticipation. Although he was in a sorry state this time, his main gain was not to have fun with Fellow Daoist Yu.

[Talisman Master: Level Two Low-grade (21,100/150,000)]

[Metal Spiritual Root: High-grade (158,999/50,000)]

[Wood Spiritual Root: High-grade (157,91/50,000)]

His gaze swept over. Other than the two virtual frames of his wife and concubine, there was indeed another virtual frame. There were words flashing on it.

[You have dual cultivated with your Dao Companion 15 times. The effect is not good. You have received +0 experience in making puppets.]

[Current Dao Companion Favorability: 95]

[Internal Charm Fire Body Effect: You have obtained additional divine sense +0]

[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 3]

[Puppet Master: Level 1 Low-grade (0/1,000)]

[Divine Sense: Mid-stage Qi Refinement (1,280/5,000)]

Shen Ping’s face darkened. He felt that the words revealed by the entire virtual frame carried a trace of disdain.

No. It must be an illusion.

“Inner Charm Fire Body… Could it be that Yu Yan has the legendary special physique?” Shen Ping’s eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. So that was how it was! No wonder he, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, fell. It turned out to be a special situation.

Now, he was in a good mood again. He put away the virtual interface. He suppressed his distracting thoughts. He calmed his mind. The spiritual energy in his body quickly circulated through his meridians, nourishing his limbs and bones. The divine sense in his Niwan Palace was also nourished.

Not only could meditation improve one’s cultivation, but it could also relieve one’s fatigue to a certain extent.

The night passed.

Shen Ping ended his cultivation early in the morning. As soon as he walked out of the quiet room, he smelled a rich fragrance of spirit rice, mixed with the fragrance of spirit beast meat and some spirit ingredients.

“Husband, the food is ready.” Wang Yun said gently, “Do you want to call Senior Yu over?”

Bai Yuying also looked up. The two women did not hear anything last night, which made them a little confused.

“I’ll go myself.” Shen Ping replied. Before he could reach the stairs, noisy footsteps sounded from outside the window, followed by thick spiritual energy.

“I’m Chen Yan, a disciple of the Acacia Faction. Fellow Daoists of the Small Courtyard No. 056C, please come out and meet me.”

The voice resounded. The wooden window trembled. Shen Ping’s expression changed slightly. He waved at his wife and concubine and brought them downstairs. Yu Yan also walked out with a solemn expression. The two of them exchanged glances. They pushed open the door and walked out.

Sect disciples, no matter how strong he was, they had to show some respect.

Soon, Fellow Daoist Mu, the brothers, Alchemist Feng, Shen Ping, Yu Yan, and the other cultivators were all standing at the door.

Chen Yan, who was standing in the middle of the small courtyard, was followed by seven or eight disciples in the uniform of the Acacia Faction. These disciples had cold and arrogant expressions. When they saw that there was actually a mortal here, the disdain in their eyes intensified.

“Fellow Daoists, sorry to disturb you. In a few days, my junior sister and junior brother will be entering this small courtyard. I came this time mainly to inform you in advance. When the time comes, I hope you can take care of my junior brother and junior sister.”

Chen Yan had a gentle smile on his face. When he cupped his hands, he did not lose the demeanor of a disciple of a large sect. He was completely different from the aura of the several Acacia Faction disciples behind him.

Fellow Daoist Mu smiled. “Fellow Daoist Chen, I’m Mu Yushuang. We naturally welcome the disciples of the Acacia Faction to enter. Speaking of which, the cultivation technique I cultivate has some connections with the Acacia Faction. I’m just not good at it. I wonder if I can be thick-skinned and ask for guidance when Fellow Daoist Chen’s junior brothers and sisters come in.”

As she spoke, there was a hint of charm in her voice. A pretty girl behind Chen Yan curled her lips. “A low-level charm technique, and one that was not legitimate. You’re really not skilled enough.”

The other disciples immediately laughed. “They’re rogue cultivators. It’s already good enough to have a cultivation technique.”

Chen Yan smiled faintly and said, “Fellow Daoist Mu is too polite.”

The brothers in the fifth house cupped their hands one after another.

“Zhang Hu.”

“Zhang Xiong.”

The eldest brother, Zhang Hu, said again, “We welcome the disciples of the Acacia Faction.”

Chen Yan swept his gaze over and simply cupped his hands.

Alchemist Feng chuckled and said, “I’m Feng Yu, a mid-grade alchemist. I welcome the disciples of the Acacia Faction to stay. If you want to refine pills, you can come and discuss with me.”

“Fellow Daoist Feng, you’re being too serious.”

Chen Yan was a little polite.

Lastly, it was Shen Ping. He cupped his hands with a smile and said, “I’m Shen Ping. I was lucky enough to become a high-grade Talisman Master. The three behind me are my wife and Dao companions. We welcome the disciples of the Acacia Faction to stay in the small courtyard. If you’re interested in the Dao talisman technique, you can come and discuss it. If you want to buy high-grade Dao talismans, I’m willing to sell ten at half price.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan and the seven or eight disciples of the Acacia Faction looked over. Even Fellow Daoist Mu, Alchemist Feng, and the Zhang brothers could not help but look at Shen Ping with surprise and realization in their eyes.

High-grade Talisman Master.

Even a large sect like the Acacia Faction could not ignore it. Although there were many Level Two Talisman Masters in the large sect, under normal circumstances, Level Two Talisman Masters would not waste time making Level One talismans..
