Chapter 25: Move slowly
For several days in a row.
Shen Ping was immersed in the cultivation after the transformation of his top-grade spiritual roots. Even his two daily routines of talisman making and dual cultivation were greatly reduced.
This is a state where you can feel your spiritual power improving every day.
It's so beautiful.
In the past, he seldom practiced in seclusion, but now he really wanted to swallow the fasting pill and practice in seclusion for several years to improve himself.
But in the end he suppressed the impulse.
Improving your cultivation is certainly important.
But Shen Ping knew very well that the change he had experienced was entirely due to his dual cultivation with his wives and concubines. If he neglected one while focusing on the other, then let alone immortality, even building a foundation would be very slim.
Walk out of the quiet room.
He came to the small kitchen in the compartment and started to make rice and lean meat porridge for his wives and concubines. While cooking, he was thinking with a frown.
Now that his spiritual roots have been upgraded to the highest level, he must rationally arrange his time for daily practice, talisman making, and dual cultivation.
"It's more comfortable to practice dual cultivation four times a day for two hours. There's no need to shorten it for now. Making talismans takes at least five hours. The remaining five hours can't be used for cultivation. I must take some time to summarize my practice of talismans, eat, accompany my wives and concubines, and familiarize myself with the mysteries of the practice..."
Think about it.
Shen Ping couldn't help but shake his head, time was still too tight.
Minus the three and a half hours of meditation and practice, he only had one and a half hours at his disposal. This amount of time was not enough just to familiarize himself with the techniques and spells. If he wanted to read and memorize all kinds of knowledge and information about cultivation, he would have to set aside at least two more hours.
And if you go out, all these arrangements will have to be suspended.
"I can squeeze in some time to eat and spend time with my wives and concubines, but dual cultivation involves my fundamentals, so I can't reduce it any further!"
final.
He gritted his teeth and decided to shorten the time of making the talisman.
The five hours of talisman making includes the production of high-quality and medium-quality talismans, as well as mental recovery. If it is to be shortened, it can only be reduced on the medium-quality talismans.
When the wives and concubines come back.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of rice.
Shen Ping filled three bowls and brought them to the wooden table outside.
"You've worked hard all night, let's eat!"
He said with a smile.
Wang Yun and Bai Yuying both held the corners of their clothes and did not move.
"What's wrong?"
"Husband, my dear, we accidentally soiled your new robe!"
Shen Ping thought it was something serious, but when he heard it was such a small matter, he said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'll just clean it up later."
The wives and concubines nodded repeatedly, their faces relaxed.
Three more days passed.
Not long after his wife and concubine left, Shen Ping quietly followed behind.
Leave Yunhe Lane.
The two women walked quickly for about a cup of tea and arrived at a place that specialized in processing grain waste.
However, the waste was dumped.
When the two women returned, they stumbled and fell to the ground, their faces covered in dust and a pungent odor.
Bai Yuying stared at several monks not far away with anger on her face, but Wang Yun hurriedly pulled Bai Yuying away quickly.
All this fell into Shen Ping's eyes.
His face looked slightly gloomy. No wonder he smelled a bad odor at that time.
It turns out that my wives and concubines were bullied by other monks.
One is a mortal, the other is a low-level Qi practitioner.
In Hongliu Lane, he had the reputation of being a mid-level talisman master, but he would still get into verbal quarrels and insults, and even physical fights. But now that he was in the market place, he encountered some cultivators who didn't care about their seniors' faces and teased him. Although it was normal, when it happened to him, he couldn't help but feel angry.
But he knew that being angry would do no good.
You can’t kill people in the market.
But it can cause disability.
If you do it.
As long as the other party is not destroyed, the wives and concubines will definitely suffer.
Take a deep breath.
Shen Ping forced himself to calm down, then turned around and returned to the courtyard.
While eating.
He looked at the forced smiles on his wife and concubine's faces and said slowly, "Yun'er, Ying'er, I'll go out with you next time."
Wang Yun's face changed, "Husband, you, you know?"
Shen Ping held his wife's wrist and said, "I have neglected my cultivation recently. If I had gone with you earlier, perhaps this would not have happened."
Some time ago, Yu Yan was with his wives and concubines.
Yu Yan hasn't come back these days.
He thought there would be no problem in the market, but he was still careless.
after all.
Wives and concubines are not qualified to live in the market town, especially Wang Yun. The fact that a mere mortal can live in the market town will inevitably irritate the nerves of some monks.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Husband, we are fine. We will try to go out less in the future. When Fellow Daoist Yu comes back, this kind of thing will not happen anymore. Don't take it to heart."
Wang Yun said hurriedly.
Bai Yuying also echoed.
The two women were afraid that if a conflict occurred, their husbands would get so angry that they could not control themselves and cause trouble.
It was difficult to move to Fangshi.
They cherish this kind of life and don't want to get into any trouble.
Shen Ping shook his head, "Don't worry, your husband is just protecting you."
The two girls stopped trying to persuade them after seeing this, but they ate very little at each subsequent meal, obviously trying to minimize grain waste.
Four days later.
Yu Yan returned from Yunshan Swamp exhausted, which made his wives and concubines secretly relieved.
And the unique scent of bath water filled the house again.
After washing away the tiredness.
Yu Yan came upstairs and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I have gained a lot on this trip, thanks to the soul-protecting talisman you gave me. Here are five middle-grade spirit stones. I will pay you back some first, and I will pay you back the rest later."
Shen Ping took the spirit stone and stretched out his hand, saying, "Please sit down."
The two sat down.
We chatted about Yunshan Swamp for a while.
He mentioned what happened to his wife and concubine a few days ago, and said respectfully, "Thank you for your protection, fellow Taoist!"
Yu Yan was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Fellow Daoist Shen, this kind of thing is difficult to avoid, unless you let your wives and concubines take the Bigu Pill, but this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure."
Shen Ping understood what Yu Yan meant.
If you want to solve this problem fundamentally, you can only improve your own strength and status, or buy high-level robes for your wives and concubines. The soul-protecting talismans alone cannot shock the monks in the market, and high-level robes are expensive. Without a certain strength and status, you can't afford them. Let your wives and concubines change into them. Unless you are stupid, they generally won't offend you.
We chatted a few more sentences.
Yu Yan went back downstairs, but before leaving she whispered, "Fellow Daoist Shen, the upper and lower main rooms have the same structure. When you and your wife and concubine have sex, please be a little careful. You can handle it, but I may not!"
Shen Ping looked embarrassed, "Of course, of course!"
The previous dual cultivation secret technique required large movements, but this one, "The Dragon and the Pearl," requires much less noise and will not disturb Yu Yan.
But he was wondering, even though they were connected from top to bottom, they only needed a mute note to block out the sound, and at most the wooden board would vibrate a little.
"Is this Daoist Yu eavesdropping every day?"
Shake your head.
Suppress all distracting thoughts.
He returned to the talisman-making room and immersed himself in making talismans again.
Although Yu Yan's return can temporarily solve the problem of his wives and concubines going out, it is impossible for Fellow Daoist Yu to stay at home like him forever.
And he himself had no way to increase his strength rapidly in a short period of time to shock and destroy those monks.
Therefore, changing to a high-level robe must be put on the agenda! "I hope nothing unexpected happens to you guys!"
Shen Ping had already memorized those monks who bullied his wives and concubines in a small notebook in his heart.
