Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 163: Blood Calamity

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Late at night, resplendent starlight fell.

In a room in the courtyard, Mu Jin had already changed into the close-fitting silkworm suit. It was jade-colored and crystal clear. Under the light of the crystal lamp, the curves and outlines were extremely clear. The end of the honeydew stretched like a lamp bean pressing against the silkworm suit.

She closed her eyes. Her legs were tense as she sat on the edge of the bed. At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the house. Her eyes lit up and she quickly stood up to welcome him.

The door opened.

The familiar and broad figure that she had been looking forward to for a long time blocked the leaking light like a mountain.

Mu Jin’s nose was soon filled with a mix of smells. She knew that this was the remnant of someone else.

“You must have waited a long time.” Shen Ping walked into the house with a smile and casually sat on a chair.

Mu Jin closed the door and poured a cup of spiritual tea, a sweet smile on her face. “1 just finished cultivating.”

The fragrance of tea wafted. Shen Ping didn’t say anything else. When he picked up the spirit tea and tasted it, his gaze fell on Mu Jin’s silk robe. It was hot and wreaked havoc. Every inch he sized up, Mu Jin blushed even more. Until his eyes landed on the mark of the date tree that was tightened by the silkworm coat. Her body trembled slightly.

Shen Ping looked at Mu Jin with a faint smile. “This silk robe fits you very well. Is it permeable?”

Mu Jin looked embarrassed. She bit her lip and whispered, “I’ve never tried…”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt the heat. It was the warmth from his fingertips.

“Whether the material is permeable or not, you’ll know after twisting it.”

Hearing this voice, Mu Jin frowned slightly, as if some slight pain was surging through her meridians. As it intensified, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Ten minutes passed. Her legs were a little numb, so she could only bow and press her legs. As for the silk clothes, they were almost stuck in.

Psst.

After the silk clothes bounced back, the bitterness that had accumulated over the years was suddenly released.

Instantly, Mu Jin’s sweet cheeks flushed, and the round jade beads on her earlobes seemed to be dyed red.

“It seems like… the quality of the silkworm clothes is not good enough! When you twist it, it oozes. Fellow Daoist Mu, you have to be more careful when buying silkworm clothes next time. Don’t be deceived by those unscrupulous cultivators.” Shen Ping said with a smile.

“Yes, husband. I’ll buy a silk robe with better materials next time. It’s just that this time, it might be because my room is damp.”

Shen Ping nodded in realization and said seriously, “If the house doesn’t open often, it will indeed be easily damp. In that case, I’ll clean it for Fellow Daoist Mu.”

Screech.

The fabric of the silkworm suit shattered. The fragrance of the date tree quietly filled the air. Mu Jin soon felt a sharp sword pierce the dome, and she seemed to see the small boat floating on the lake again.

But this time, the rising lake water became even more turbulent. Waves of impact hit the small boat that had experienced the wind and rain. When the lake calmed down, the broken hole of the boat was rolled up into a ball, and a large amount of foam splashing from the water remained in the boat.

After resting for a moment, the water in the lake surged again. This continued for five times before everything finally calmed down.

Even though Mu Jin was at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, she still felt tired at this moment. But she still endured the mental fatigue and gritted her teeth. “Husband, although the road ahead of me can’t bear the burden, 1 can still bear the back.”

Shen Ping could not help but laugh. “Don’t force yourself. Your cultivation level and strength are insufficient. When you improve a little more, you can try to use the Snow Ganoderma Pill to assist in your cultivation. At that time, your cultivation speed will be slightly faster.”

Mu Jin said gently, “Thank you for your pity, Husband.”

Dozens of days later, the unfamiliar feeling of moving to the Linhai Immortal City gradually dissipated. Shen Ping and his wife and concubines gradually adapted to the isolated courtyard of Yongyang Market B-39, and their cultivation life became stable.

In the talisman room, Shen Ping held the talisman brush and focused on making the Lightning Talisman. He was already at the level of a third-grade Talisman Master. The success rate of making such a low-grade second-grade talisman was almost 100%. Even with his eyes closed, he was proficient enough to outline the spiritual pattern circuit in one go.

But this time was different.

Every stroke of the talisman seemed to be nothing special, but if a Talisman Master with Talisman Daoism calmly used his divine sense to sense it, he would discover that the spiritual patterns on it were trembling non-stop.

Buzz-

The moment the talisman brush drew 60% of the spirit patterns and had yet to form a perfect loop,

Shen Ping suddenly stopped writing. However, the talisman paper that should have been burned to ashes was still as usual.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face. If it were any other Talisman Dao genius, it would already be very good if they could outline the Vibration Rune on the talisman paper. However, Shen Ping had always remembered the incomplete talisman from the headquarters’ assessment.

Now, he had finally successfully created the incomplete Lightning Talisman. He wasn’t sure what that meant. However, at this moment, Shen Ping knew that he had completely grasped this special spirit rune.

“Qian, Stack, Return, Lock, Kan, Vibration… I’ve already familiarized myself with the first six of the twelve special spirit runes. Next, I’ll focus on studying the last six!”

He put away the talisman. He spread out the ‘Basics of Talisman Scripture’ and looked at the six special spirit runes at the back. He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Every special spirit rune could develop a large number of complicated spirit runes. Then, when they were combined and superimposed, they could transform into the bronze pattern diagram of the Talisman Beast Scripture and the special talisman diagram involved in the first two volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra.

Therefore, any talisman master who wanted to comprehend the talisman scripture had to master twelve special spirit runes first. According to Perfected Yun Ya, talisman masters with Talisman Dao talent had to spend more than a hundred years to successfully cultivate and study them.

An outstanding Talisman Master genius could do it in thirty years.

Currently, it took him about nine months to master the first six types. It seemed fast, but the first six types were relatively easy. He was only stuck at the Vibration Rune for a period of time. The remaining six types were the most difficult. Many talisman masters spent most of their time cultivating special spirit runes on these six types, especially the last Life Rune. Even a genius in the Dao of Talismans would find it very difficult to master it if their understanding was weaker.

“I wonder how long it will take to completely master the last six. If it takes too long, it will be very difficult to break through to the B-rank core after 13 years.” Shen Ping sighed in his heart.

Although the Jade Bone Body had resolved the problem of his wife and concubines being unable to withstand the sex due to the difference in cultivation, this was only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. As his cultivation continued to increase, this difference would gradually increase. At that time, other problems would appear.

Therefore, if he wanted to resolve the root problem, just relying on medicinal pills and supplementary resources like rare treasures was far from enough. He had to obtain restricted resources to cross the limit of his aptitude and speed up his wife and concubines’ cultivation.

After experiencing the enhancement effect of the strange beast blood, he yearned to continue obtaining such restricted resources. Therefore, even without Perfected Pei’s reminder, he had to seize this opportunity.

“If Foundation Establishment doesn’t work… then Golden Core!” Thinking of this, Shen Ping’s eyes gradually revealed determination. After experiencing two weak and helpless struggles, he really did not want to experience that aggrieved and bitter feeling again.

Moreover, he had come so far. He had no better choice.

Following that, he dual cultivated, studied the talisman scriptures, and meditated to cultivate. After having a clear direction in his heart, Shen Ping seemed to have returned to the beginning of Cloud Mountain Parlour. He stayed in the courtyard and immersed himself in a fulfilling cultivation life. He ignored everything outside and seemed to have forgotten everything.

Pei Huoyu, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, had a smile on her face when she saw this scene. Although Shen Ping still did not forget about sex day and night, she felt gratified at his drive to improve.

In the blink of an eye, more than three months passed.

During this period, other than drinking with Elder Peng, Elder Qi, and sending Elder Peng out of the Linhai Immortal City, Shen Ping spent the rest of his time either in the main quiet room or in the talisman room.

They had just finished eating when Bai Yuying suddenly said, “Husband, today is the Lantern Festival of the mortal kingdom of the Wei Kingdom. After midnight, Ying’er will be another year older.” At this point, she sighed. “I’m only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement now. I don’t know if I can successfully build my foundation before I’m 60 years old. If I can’t…”

Shen Ping pulled Bai Yuying into his arms and pinched her face with a smile to interrupt her. “What are you talking about? With such a cultivation environment and resources, even the most useless spiritual root aptitude can successfully build a foundation. Unless you’re afraid of using the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment and deliberately slow down your cultivation speed.”

Bai Yuying subconsciously raised her voice. “Husband, don’t tease me. Even in my dreams, 1 think…”

“Think about what?” Shen Ping looked at her with a smile.

Yu Yan, Wang Yun, and the other wife and Dao companions also looked over. Bai Yuying buried her head in Shen Ping’s arms and said in a low voice, “I want to use the white jade ginseng ointment.”

“What are you going to do with the white jade ginseng ointment?” Shen Ping said again.

Bai Yuying lowered her voice even more. “Do something heartbreaking.”

His wife and concubines immediately snickered. After the laughter, Wang Yun, Luo Qing, and Mu Jin cleared the dishes. Yu Yan walked up to Shen Ping and said, “Husband, you’ve been busy cultivating recently. Some of the special support resources in the family are about to be used up.”

Shen Ping patted his forehead. “If you didn’t mention it, 1 would have almost forgotten. I’ll go to the True Treasure Pavilion later.”

Yu Yan nodded and said, “When you go, can you buy some low-level spirit beasts, spirit herb seeds, spirit rice, and other things? With these, it’ll be easier to fill the courtyard. We can take care of these when we’re free.”

Hearing this, Shen Ping couldn’t help but glance at the empty courtyard and nod. “Alright, I’ve moved here for a while. It’s indeed time to add some spiritual items.”

He cultivated in the quiet room for more than two hours. It was almost noon when he arrived at the Linhai Immortal City’s True Treasure Pavilion. He had just crossed the threshold when a cultivator bumped into him.

Shen Ping frowned and gently took a step to the left to avoid this cultivator. However, before he could continue walking, he heard a timid voice. “Fellow Daoist, I’m really sorry. I almost offended you because of an urgent matter.”

“Don’t worry about it.” He replied casually.

The timid voice continued, “Fellow Daoist, I’m afraid there will be a bloody calamity today. Please be careful.”

Shen Ping:”…”
