Chapter 34: Rejection
"This is the way of Fu."
"What about spiritual roots?"
"Or is this just the limit of my wife's mortal body?"
Shen Ping's thoughts were racing.
The last time his wife’s favorability exceeded the limit, he realized that his golden finger needed to be further explored.
Dual cultivation after breaking through the second stage.
I didn't expect such a big change.
Take a deep breath slowly.
He suppressed this thought and continued to look at the virtual panel.
[You have practiced dual cultivation with your Taoist partner once, and your gold spiritual root aptitude has increased by +2, and your wood spiritual root aptitude has increased by +2]
[Current Taoist Companion Favorability: 92]
[Dual Cultivation Bonus: 3]
[Gold Spiritual Root: Top Grade (10547/50000)]
[Wood Spiritual Root: Top Grade (10439/50000)]
The Taoist companion's spiritual root frame did not change at all.
It dawned on him.
The appearance of the silver frame should be due to the wife's favorability reaching a certain level.
Shen Ping couldn't help but look at Wang Yun.
If there was no silver bonus, after seeing the drastic reduction in experience gained from the path of talismans, would he still treat his wife as usual?
What is the answer.
He doesn't know.
There was a little silence.
Shen Ping said gently, "Yun'er."
Wang Yun, leaning in his arms, raised her pretty face, her watery eyes revealing endless affection.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Don't work too hard in the future. You have done enough for your husband."
"No way, Sister Ying'er has done more than me."
He listened and smiled silently.
No more words.
soon.
Spring is in the air again under the quilt.
The next morning.
My wife and concubine originally wanted to invite Senior Yu to go for a walk together.
However, there was no response after knocking on the door several times.
"You're not leaving the market again, are you?"
When Shen Ping learned about it, he frowned.
The number of outings is too frequent. Even those monks who are in a hurry to pay off their debts will not go to Yunshan Swamp again after just resting for a day or two.
"Maybe just go to the market."
He himself didn't believe it.
really.
Yu Yan did not come back in the afternoon or evening.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
Every monk has his own choice and he cannot make the decision for others.
Suppress this matter.
Shen Ping once again entered into the boring yet fulfilling life of spiritual practice.
…
As winter arrives.
There was a vast expanse of white outside Yunshanfang.
After several days of heavy snow.
The cold wave that covered the Yunshan swamp area slowly receded.
Early in the morning.
There was a layer of frost on the ground in the courtyard.
It was rare for Shen Ping to take his wives and concubines out of the house to relax.
Master Feng Dan in the next room opened the window on the second floor, saw Shen Ping and the other two, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Shen is more open-minded than I am. He has a complete wife and concubines, and all he needs is a house full of children and grandchildren."
Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, "Senior Feng is a role model for cultivators of our generation because he is devoted to the Dao. I have wasted my time and have no other thoughts."
Master Feng shook his head repeatedly, "Not really, not really. There are many people who have built their foundation in their seventies. Considering Fellow Daoist Shen's age, if he works harder, there may still be hope."
“Hehe…”
At this moment, a charming laugh was heard and the window of House No. 3 was suddenly opened.
Daoist Mu was only wearing a thin gauze dress, with her pink and white shoulders exposed. She smiled and said, "Daoist Feng really has lofty ambitions. He has established his foundation in his seventies. He has a strong family as a shield and precious resources to protect his foundation. Do you have these?"
"Don't mention that Fellow Daoist Feng, you are not a high-level alchemist yet. Even if you become a high-level alchemist, can you have those conditions?"
Daoist Mu said with sarcasm, "Instead of dreaming about building a foundation, you might as well learn from Daoist Shen and marry a few wives and concubines, and enjoy the rest of your life."
Master Feng Dan wanted to refute, but found that he had no confidence to refute.
It is already difficult for independent practitioners to build a foundation.
If you are over sixty, your hope is extremely slim.
Shen Ping was silent.
He knew that the seeker was telling the truth.
Cultivating immortals is a road of fighting against heaven for life. If you fall behind even a little on this road, you will have no choice but to quit sadly.
"Love between men and women is the most important thing, so Fellow Daoist Shen, you must come to Tianyin Pavilion when you have time."
"I promise to let you enjoy the happiness that even your wife and concubines cannot give you."
"If you want to come to my house, it's not impossible."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just as Shen Ping was sighing.
The seeker who had just ridiculed Master Feng Dan suddenly changed his tone, his voice filled with a hint of charm.
Shen Ping laughed dryly a few times, then hurriedly left the courtyard with his wives and concubines.
…
End of November.
Shopkeeper Chen sent a message, inviting Shen Ping to come to Xiuchun Pavilion, and repeatedly assured him that he would definitely not break the appointment again this time.
The next day.
Shen Ping packed up a little and went to the market.
Walk to the shop door.
Shopkeeper Chen came out in a hurry, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shen, the fortune teller said that this time it will definitely be auspicious, there is no mistake."
Shen Ping teased, "I hope everything goes well."
He wasn't as strong-minded as last time.
But since I'm here, it would be good if it succeeds, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't.
This time it didn't take long.
A beautiful figure walked to the door of the private room.
"Senior Shen, sorry to have kept you waiting."
There was a hint of apology in the voice, like the trickling of a clear spring.
Shen Ping raised his eyes to look at the girl. Her face was a little round, her lips were a little thin, her ears were crystal clear, and her face under her long hair looked graceful and gentle.
He smiled and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, senior."
The girl sat at the side and said softly, "My surname is Xiao, my name is Qi'er, I am deeply sorry for what happened last time!"
As she spoke, she stood up and bowed gracefully.
Shen Ping waved his hand and got straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I won't say much about the pleasantries. As for the situation, I believe that Shopkeeper Chen should have told you that I want to marry a concubine. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Xiao?"
It’s been several months since the last time.
After careful consideration, it is time to think it through.
Xiao Qier smiled and said, "Senior Shen, I am indeed interested, but before I make a decision, I would like to ask a few questions. Is that okay?"
"Can."
Shen Ping nodded.
Xiao Qier continued, "If we get married, I might be able to help manage Xiuchun Pavilion in the future. I wonder if Senior Shen can be the resident talisman master of Xiuchun Pavilion at that time?"
"Don't worry, all treatment will be in accordance with market standards."
"Besides, since I am your Taoist partner, we can take care of each other when the time comes."
The salary of the talisman master is indeed generous.
But it is extremely constrained.
The most important thing is that your personal information will be easily exposed.
Shen Ping had many secrets, so he refused without even thinking, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I can deepen cooperation with Xiuchun Pavilion and increase the number of top-grade talismans sold every month, but I have never considered being the talisman master."
"And if we get married, I hope Brother Xiao can follow my arrangements."
He needs to practice dual cultivation every day when he takes a concubine.
If a Taoist partner is busy every day, what's the point?
This one is well-behaved and sensible.
Shen Ping comes first!
Xiao Qier was stunned. She had never expected that Master Shen Fu would refuse so bluntly.
And at this time.
Shen Ping spoke again, looking at Xiao Qier meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what do you think?"
