Chapter 100: Laying the foundation

Finished two cups of spiritual tea.

Manager Qu left the private room and went downstairs to work. Before he left, he said, "It's just a small matter no matter who is in charge in Qingyang City. For Zhenbao Tower, the special guest is a very important matter. Since Master Shen Fu is so qualified, he must seize the opportunity."

Walking on the busy main street.

There is a constant stream of monks coming and going.

The shops on both sides are either grand, elegant, or simple.

Shen Ping's eyes were looking straight ahead, his mind slightly fluctuating.

What does a special guest official mean?

Up to now, he had only inferred from the few words spoken by Shopkeeper Qu that he had an extraordinary status and could enjoy more treatment and resources. Even Shopkeeper Qu, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building with a strong background and connections, was eager to learn from him.

But I don’t know the details.

But just as Shopkeeper Qu said.

If you are qualified, you must seize the opportunity.

In this world of cultivating immortals where dangers abound and the waters are as deep as the sea, opportunities are extremely precious.

He thought of Yunshanfang again.

If he had not been a guest of Zhenbao Tower, he would have gone through countless dangers. He could avoid them once, dodge them twice, but if he did it three times... there would always be a life-and-death catastrophe.

"Talisman."

"puppet."

His thoughts sank and his eyes drooped.

Both skills require years of accumulation and talent, especially puppetry, for which talent is indispensable. However, if he were to try the art of talismans in the future, the puppetry technique would have to be concealed temporarily, at least to prevent his ability to make second-order puppets from being exposed.

While thinking.

Yinlingju gradually came into view.

Shen Ping suppressed his distracting thoughts, gathered his thoughts, and stepped inside.

Complete at the counter.

He sat in the private room and sent a message to Mu Jin.

I thought I would have to wait a while.

Unexpectedly, after a cup of tea, there was a sound from the private room door.

After opening.

The graceful figure in a tight green dress with a brocade waist stood sideways.

As the private room formation was activated.

There was a hint of shyness and repression in Mu Jin's eyes beneath her hair.

Shen Ping's eyes moved.

The dress without any wrinkles creates an imaginative semicircular curve. The pink ribbon tied around the waist is decorated with embroidered flower patterns, and under the hem is a taut, straight jujube tree.

At this time.

There seemed to be breathing in his ears.

The curved outlines before my eyes also came alive, as if my heart was beating.

Mu Jin smiled sweetly, "Master Shen Fu, what were you looking at when you followed me during the guest assessment that day?"

"See if the material of the clothes is strong."

Shen Ping smiled calmly.

"Then what?"

"Did you see the result?"

As the two were talking, they walked into the private room one after the other.

There was already a flash of spiritual light on his body, which was a sign that the Taoist magic was about to be performed.

Shen Ping said in a deep voice, "Very solid."

"The material seems to be made of peach skin."

"But I know that a true tailor needs to reach deep into the fabric and stretch the material back and forth to make it more flexible."

“It just so happens that I was a tailor before I started practicing.”

Mu Jin bit her lips lightly, her eyes sparkling with light. Her voice suddenly became intermittent, with a slight tremor, "Besides the firmness of the material, what else can we see?"

Shen Ping stared at Mu Jin and shook his head gently, "I didn't see it clearly at that time."

"Then Master Shen Fu must take a good look at this material today."

"Does it match your..."

The words fell.

Taoism instantly flooded the private room.

During several exchanges.

Mu Jin's voice was mixed with tears, "Shen, Master Shen, it is difficult for me to advance to the late stage of Qi training. I beg you to share your experience!"

…

Nearing the You hour.

Huiquan Lane Yunwushan Street.

Shen Ping's white robe was clean and tidy, with only the fragrance lingering on his fingertips. Thinking of Mu Jin's last request, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Last time I was at Yinlingju.

He knew that Mu Jin was practicing a special water-attributed technique, which required preserving the female's yin as much as possible before building the foundation. However, even if it was preserved intact, in the end it would only increase the chance of building the foundation a little.

However, if the Yuan Yin is lost before the late stage of Qi training, it may damage the foundation.

Mu Jin's words were full of confusion and emotion.

Although Shen Ping took advantage of the situation and turned into a dragon, and Mu Jin would not say anything afterwards, he still did not pass on his experience.

The more you taste the spiritual tea, the more fragrant it becomes.

Walk to the courtyard.

Shen Ping paused for a moment, flicking his fingertips, the fragrance faded and disappeared, but when he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he sighed in his heart, "The material is really strong!"

…

Yunshanfang.

The flying boat of the Hehuan Sect landed with a loud bang.

The Qigong disciples filed out, and among them a pretty purple figure came quickly to the market town with the sound of bells. She walked to Yunhe Lane with ease, stood at the gate of the courtyard where she used to live, and looked at House No. 2.

Chen Ying gritted her teeth and said, "This damn middle-aged talisman master is so cunning, he must have escaped long ago."

Make a home visit.

Sure enough, a strange monk appeared in room number two.

The corners of her lips suddenly smiled lightly, but she soon snorted, "It's just right that he slipped away, so that I won't be able to find him and settle the score with him in the future!"

Walking briskly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chen Ying left Yunhe Lane and stood in front of Zhenbao Tower again.

She stepped in hesitantly, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment. She turned around and finally got a response: Qingyang City.

“You actually ran that far!”

"Damn it, just wait for me!"

…

The sun and the moon rotate.

Winter comes and summer goes.

The boring and tedious practice life passed day by day.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival of the following year in the Wei Kingdom.

And cross this day.

Shen Ping will be 52 years old.

In the quiet room of Lingchi.

He sat in meditation and practiced his skills. The spiritual power in his dantian was constantly growing and compressing, moving towards the limit of his meridians' endurance. With the help of various resources, his spiritual power had been refined to 80% since he broke through the ninth level of Qi training.

Another 20%.

He will then enter the perfect stage of Qi training.

Most cultivators at this stage will be preparing for foundation building, either seeking foundation building pills, or looking for rare and precious elixirs to help increase the success rate of foundation building. Those with connections and status can wait for the Zhenbao Building auction, while those without can only keep taking risks to seek opportunities.

It would be extremely lucky for the independent cultivators to obtain a foundation-building pill.

Even the disciples of the sect have to work hard to obtain the auxiliary materials for building the foundation, and after paying a certain price, they have to seek the first threshold of immortality.

moment.

Shen Ping's aura calmed down, he opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Foundation Building Pill.

Relying on his guest official status and the accumulation of these days, he had already purchased two pills, which was the limit for a third-class guest official. Although he estimated that he had dual-element gold and wood spiritual roots of the highest quality, and if he wanted to break through the foundation building without the foundation building pill, the success rate would be very high, but it is always better to be safe than sorry.

After the spiritual power is complete.

After a slight attempt at a breakthrough, if everything goes well, there will naturally be no need for Foundation Establishment Pills. The two saved pills can be used as backup for Yu Yan in the future.

“A rare treasure that helps build a foundation…”

Think of this.

Shen Ping's smile disappeared and then turned into a long sigh.

Every time such rare treasures appear at auction, the competition is fierce. He had bid once but failed. He was unlucky and met a person in the late foundation building stage who was bidding personally.

At that time, he understood why Manager Ding's opportunity to build his foundation had been delayed.

Luck, strength, and opportunity.

Neither is indispensable.

He shook his head, stood up and walked out of the quiet room.

The sky was dim and dark clouds covered Qingyang City.

The cold wind howled through the courtyard but could not blow away the lights in the hall.

"It's a little late for husband to practice."

"The meal is ready. Today I specially added one of my husband's favorite delicacies."

As Wang Yun spoke, she opened the jade plate, and immediately the fragrance filled the air.

Shen Ping strode into the hall with his sleeves lightly flicked. He sat down and took a look. His eyes lit up. "Isn't this the Jade Cherry that Senior Fu next door sent me a few days ago? Yun'er has made it into a delicacy. Her craftsmanship is getting more and more exquisite. She has the demeanor of a master chef. I'm in for a treat today."

He couldn't wait to take a bite.

"Husband, how is it?"

The wives and concubines all looked at Shen Ping, their eyes filled with expectation.

Shen Ping closed his eyes and savored the taste carefully, then suddenly opened his eyes, "This Jade Cherry is really delicious, Qing'er, Ying'er, you guys should try it too!"

Bai Yuying tasted it first, and then couldn't help but praise it repeatedly, "It's delicious, even better than my husband's."

Luo Qing was speechless.

Yu Yan took a bite and smiled, "It's really good, husband. I didn't expect that Senior Fu had quite a collection."

Shen Ping nodded and praised, "This is the foundation of building a foundation. Yun'er, Ying'er, your husband will also see your foundation tonight."

The wives and concubines smiled knowingly at each other.

…

Something delayed me.
