Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 52: Promise Is Not Simple

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A few days later.

It was late at night. Dazzling starlight scattered down. His wife, Wang Yun, leaned into Shen Ping’s arms. Her erratic breathing gradually stabilized. There was a hint of satisfaction on her lips. As long as she could feel her husband’s fulfillment every day, such a life would be very blissful for her.

Shen Ping opened the attribute panel as usual. He glanced at it casually.

[Your wife is deeply in love with you. Current favorability: 100+92]

[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 7]

[Silver Bonus: 10]

After days of hard work, his wife’s favorability slowly increased. Now, the silver light in the entire virtual frame became deeper, as if it was on the verge of transformation. He continued reading.

[Current Dao Companion Favorability: 951

[Current Dao Companion Favorability: 97]

Bai Yuying did not change, while Yu Yan’s favorability was increasing just like his wife. He pondered for a moment. Shen Ping pulled away the aqua blue toad on Bai Yuying’s body and asked gently, “Ying’er, 1 remember you mentioning that your brother once went to the Cloud Mountain Swamp to explore. Is there still no news?”

The exploration of the Golden Sun Sect’s mineral vein had long ended. There was still no news of her brother. There was an 80% chance that he had died.

Bai Yuying’s body trembled as she said in a lonely voice, “Husband, 1 don’t know. Ever since 1 married you, 1 haven’t gone back to Ningshui Alley for a long time. 1 haven’t contacted any of the fellow daoists I knew in the past. If my brother comes back, I’m afraid he won’t be able to find me.”

As she spoke, she actually choked. “That’s good too. My brother is talented and smart. He’s good at fighting. Without a burden like me, he might be able to gain some hope in the future.”

Shen Ping could clearly feel Bai Yuying’s concern for her younger brother. He sighed softly and said, “Ying’er, I was negligent. I didn’t ask about it in the past. If I pay more attention in Red Willow Alley, you might be able to find out about your younger brother.”

Bai Yuying shook her head. “Husband, it’s not your fault. The life and death of cultivators are up to fate. If there’s no news, at least I can have some thoughts.” At this point, she suddenly looked up. “Husband, if there’s a chance in the future, can you help Ying’er go to the Chen Market? I have a piece of my brother’s jade pendant.”

It touched the desire in Bai Yuying’s eyes. Shen Ping nodded slowly. “If I’m strong enough in the future, I’ll help you make a trip.”

No matter what, Bai Yuying had served him for so long. In the future, when his strength reached a certain level and he ensured his safety, he did not mind going to the Chen Market. Whether he could find him was another matter.

Hearing her husband’s words, Bai Yuying smiled brightly. After years of interaction, she could tell that this sentence was not perfunctory. Her voice was as soft as nature. “Husband, Ying’er wants to serve you again.”

Shen Ping shuddered. This voice had hit his heart. Almost at the same time, the virtual interface representing Bai Yuying changed.

The days of cultivation were very boring.

If not for the fact that they were focused on the Great Dao, most cultivators would have chosen to live a stable and enjoyable life as a rich man. However, if they did not take a gamble on this path that fought with the heavens, they would always have many regrets in their hearts.

At dawn, after Shen Ping finished his repetitive actions, he leaned against the wooden tub and looked at Yu Yan, whose face was rosy, with her eyes closed to rest.

The heat on the water dissipated, Yu Yan opened her eyes from the aftertaste and noticed the expressionless Shen Ping. She smiled and comforted him. “Don’t be anxious. There’s still a long way to go.”

She leaned forward and kissed Shen Ping on the cheek and stood up shakily. She changed into her robe and tied up her beautiful hair. Yu Yan’s charming face turned cold.

“Any news from the market recently?” Shen Ping asked casually.

Yu Yan prepared her portable Dharma artifact and checked her storage bag again. After confirming that she had not missed anything, she replied, “There’s no other movement, but when I accepted the mission in the Deacon Hall, I saw that the Danxia Sect was recruiting cultivators to mine. The treatment they gave was not bad.

“There are also some rumors that say that the Danxia Sect is preparing to establish a branch sect in Cloud Mountain. At that time, they will accept a wide range of disciples. They have yet to reveal the conditions for recruiting disciples.”

Shen Ping’s expression changed when he heard that. “The Danxia Sect actually got the mining rights of the Flame Gold Mine so quickly. Can the other sects sit still?”

Yu Yan shook her head and pondered carefully before saying, “I’m afraid this matter isn’t simple. A large-scale Flame Gold Mine is indeed rare, but with the strength and resources of the Danxia Sect in the Jin Kingdom, they wouldn’t have to establish a branch sect in Cloud Mountain. The other sects and factions joined forces to open the door to the Wei Kingdom mostly for the rich spirit stone mines in the Wei Kingdom.”

Shen Ping nodded. “They might have other motives. For the time being, the establishment of the Danxia Sect is good news for the market.”

Establishing a branch sect meant that they had to stay permanently in Cloud Mountain. Then the Danxia Sect would definitely give some resources to fight for the freelance cultivators in the market. For example, the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was a tried and tested method of the Golden Sun Sect. If the Danxia Sect took it out, the price of this Foundation Establishment Pili might fall a lot in the future.

The two of them chatted briefly, then Yu Yan walked out of the house. It was early in the morning.

Shopkeeper Chen sent a message.

Shen Ping tidied himself seriously and asked his wife and concubine to check him. After confirming that he was dressed appropriately and that his face was clean, he walked out of the courtyard. He arrived at the Spring Embroidery Pavilion.

He realized that two late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators were waiting.

Shopkeeper Chen changed into a long robe and said with a smile, “Talisman Master Shen is here. Let me introduce you. These two are Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Sun. Fellow Daoist Zhou is a high-grade alchemist, and Fellow Daoist Sun is also a Talisman Master.”

Shen Ping hurriedly went forward and cupped his hands. “Alchemist Zhou, Talisman Master Sun.”

Talisman Master Sun had a round figure. He narrowed his eyes and cupped his hands with a smile. “Talisman Master Shen.”

Alchemist Zhou looked dignified and solemn, as if he was from a clan. He said indifferently, “Talisman Master Shen.”

When Shopkeeper Chen saw this, he reminded them, “Fellow Daoists, although Talisman Master Shen’s cultivation isn’t high, his level in the Dao of Talismans isn’t low. He has a place in the monthly auction of the True Treasure Pavilion.”

As soon as he said this, Talisman Master Sun revealed a surprised expression and immediately became more enthusiastic. “Talisman Master Shen, you’re able to cooperate with the True Treasure Pavilion, it’s really disrespectful of me.”

Alchemist Zhou squeezed out a smile on his solemn face and cupped his hands. “Talisman Master Shen.”

Shen Ping replied humbly. At this moment, Shopkeeper Chen said, “It’s getting late. Let’s set off. Don’t be late.”

The four of them followed the main road of the market to the end. He took out a small gray-white flying ship and rode it, turning into a white light that quickly flew towards the Golden Sun Sect of Cloud Mountain not far away. He stood on the flying ship.

Shen Ping listened to the wind whistling around the spiritual energy barrier and looked at the mountain ranges. There were clouds and mist there, and the mountains rose and fell. He could vaguely see several majestic palaces rising from the clouds, flickering with multicolored light under the morning light.

Golden Sun Sect.

It was the only immortal sect in the Wei Kingdom.

It was right in front of him..
