Chapter 99: Changes in Qingyang City
Coming back from the Qingyang Lake pleasure boat.
Shen Ping's practice life returned to normal.
Mid-October.
A cold wave is coming to Qingyang City.
early morning.
The ground in the courtyard was covered with a layer of frost.
Push open the wooden window of the wing room.
Gusts of cold air rolled in, and the warmth in the house with a special smell quickly melted away.
Yu Yan wore a thin gauze dress embroidered with pink mandarin ducks, and her black hair was casually draped over her fair and fragrant shoulders. She looked out the window and said quietly, "It's winter again. Compared to Yunshanfang, Qingyang City is even colder and wetter."
Shen Ping turned sideways and said with a smile, "Why, do you miss Yunshanfang?"
"After all, I have lived here for so many years."
“There will always be some memories.”
Yu Yan walked to Shen Ping's side, the outline of a pomelo with pink embroidered mandarin ducks pressed against her arm. "There are more and more disciples from the major sects in the city. Huiquan Lane is not very close to South City. Although there are formations to restrict it, it's inevitable that accidents will happen if you walk back and forth for a long time. Otherwise, we should not rent a shop for the time being. We can make plans after the situation in the city stabilizes."
Shen Ping pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Also, I will give you enough time in the Spirit Pool Quiet Room to try to absorb the medicinal effects of the Snow Ganoderma Pills. I estimate that with another five or six pills, you will be able to break through and advance to the next level!"
Yu Yan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to my husband's hard work day and night, but the Xuezhi Pill is really amazing. Every time I take it, I can feel the medicinal power of the pill squeezing me."
Speaking of.
There was a hint of charm in her eyes.
The voice also became ethereal, "Sometimes I am very worried. When the Xuezhi Pill becomes smaller, will it... hit my heart?"
Shen Ping shook his head and said seriously, "Don't worry, your inner fire body can resist this kind of pill. Besides, we have been communicating with each other for so long, I know that your path lies in the long run, not in breadth."
Yu Yan chuckled.
"My husband really understands me."
"As the saying goes, we must rise up at the sound of the cock-crow. I think it's still early. Shall we have a little more conversation?"
"A practitioner should have a balance between tension and relaxation."
"My husband has gone to the quiet room."
While talking.
Shen Pingren had already sneaked into the courtyard.
In a quiet room.
He sat down cross-legged and opened the virtual panel.
Skip the rest.
His eyes fell on the golden frame.
[Talisman Magical Power: Sea of Talisman Light Wheel (Thousand Talismans) (504/3w)]
[Talisman Master: Second-level mid-level product (298596/30w)]
After so many days of hard work.
The Talisman Master is very close to a breakthrough, and he can achieve it if he works a few more times tonight.
And the supernatural power has also been upgraded to the next level, able to burn thousands of talismans in an instant to burst out with terrifyingly powerful talisman light.
Sometimes Shen Ping really wanted to see the true power of this magical power, but every time the thought came to his mind, he would quickly cut it off. No matter how powerful it was, this was his last resort to save his life.
Besides, it is difficult for him to accumulate thousands of talismans now.
The main reason is that I can’t spare the time.
But when I have some free time and ample money in the future, I must make these thousand talismans and put them at the bottom of my storage bag.
While deep in thought.
The communication talisman vibrated slightly.
Take it out and take a look.
It’s Mu Jin.
Just one sentence: "I thought about it."
A smile appeared on his face, and even a fire was burning in his lower abdomen.
Although I have not seen the straight shadow of the jujube tree many times, its round curve is truly unforgettable.
These days.
Shen Ping was so immersed in his practice that he almost forgot the smell, but when he saw these three words, he could clearly see it in his mind, and even his nose seemed to smell the difference.
Shake your head.
He suppressed this thought and replied, "Tomorrow, at 5 p.m., at Yinling Residence."
After reply.
He emptied his mind and entered a state of meditation.
…
Lushui Lane.
When Mu Jin heard the familiar voice of the communication talisman, she almost couldn't lift her legs from sitting cross-legged on the pink cushion. She bit her lower lip lightly, joy welling up in her eyes.
Even though it was just a simple reply.
But she sensed a hint of urgency in the letter, and her mood suddenly brightened.
Dress up carefully.
She changed into a tight emerald dress that highlighted her curves, a brocade green robe on the outside, and put on a little makeup before walking out of the compartment.
Coincidentally.
The main door opened.
A female cultivator who lived there also came out. Seeing Mu Jin, she smiled and said, "Daoyou Mu, you are going to Pengyun Store so early."
Mu Jin smiled sweetly and replied, "If there's nothing else to do, go clean up the shop."
The female cultivator shook her head, "Although earning spirit stones is important, cultivation cannot be neglected. You haven't been to the quiet room many times."
Mu Jin said hurriedly, "My cultivation is low, so I can just meditate in the compartment for an hour or two."
"That's so embarrassing. After all, you paid the rent."
The female cultivator continued, "But Brother Mu's work in the shop is easy and safe. Unlike me, I have to go out to fight every day. If I don't pay attention, I will die. There is no other way. I don't have Brother Mu's appearance and figure. If Brother Mu makes friends with a foundation-building senior in the future, he must help me!"
Mu Jin responded politely and left the house.
Many monks in the courtyard focused their attention.
She was used to it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
late at night.
The cold wind is howling.
The bedroom is like warm spring, with pink, purple and white embroidery patterns interwoven, as if flowers are competing for beauty.
When the peonies bloom.
The noise in the house slowly came to a halt.
Shen Ping looked at his wife lying tired on the bed, hugged her, and nourished her with his spiritual power for a while. When her breathing became even and she fell into a sweet sleep, he got up and went to the quiet room.
Scan to the virtual frame.
The word "breakthrough" has appeared behind the Talisman Master.
Without the slightest hesitation.
He muttered to himself.
boom.
The virtual frame vibrated.
The talisman master became a second-grade upper-grade one. At the same time, the unique scene of the golden frame swept over again. Shrouded in the golden light, he walked uncontrollably to the jade table in front. On the table were pieces of talisman materials, including talisman treasure materials.
Shen Ping's eyes trembled slightly, but he soon began to make talismans over and over again under the golden light.
Here.
He seemed to have no need for spiritual power, spiritual consciousness, or worry about the scrapping of talisman materials. He only needed to make talismans mechanically, and every time he drew a talisman on talisman paper, this skill would be imprinted in his mind.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Until every kind of talisman was made.
The jade table, talismans and golden light in front of me gradually faded.
His gaze returned to the quiet room.
Shen Ping subconsciously closed his eyes and savored the feeling.
Very mysterious.
However, he understood that he was simply unable to produce a top-grade second-level talisman at the moment. The higher the level of the talisman, the more stringent the requirements.
He can make the Armor Spirit Talisman and the Lightning Lightning Talisman by relying on his foundation-building consciousness and his proficient level of talismans, but he cannot make a second-order mid-grade talisman. Only when his spiritual power is perfect and his consciousness breaks through to the middle stage of foundation-building, can he try to make it by relying on the level of a second-order high-grade talisman master.
Can it succeed?
Shen Ping was not sure, but through Shopkeeper Qu, he knew that there was such a genius in the art of talismans among the special guests of Zhenbao Tower. However, there had never been a cultivator with such outstanding skills in the Wei State or even in the surrounding countries.
How vast are the five continents and four seas.
There will always be some talented monks who are admired by people.
He meditated in the quiet room until noon before he stepped out.
At breakfast.
Shen Ping noticed Yu Yan's sidelong glance and hurriedly laughed a few times, saying, "I have to go out for a while in the afternoon. Yun'er, Ying'er, Qing'er, do you need to buy anything?"
Bai Yuying took the lead and said, "Husband, Ying'er wants to raise a spirit-eared mouse."
Shen Ping immediately shook his head, "Ying'er, you should focus on cultivation now, and not play around. I'll go to the auction later to see if there are any suitable spirit beasts."
Wang Yun said, "The decorations in the hall and bedroom are a bit too monotonous. These days, more and more senior monks have come to visit. If you have time, you can buy some decorations. Besides, we don't have much rare wine and beast meat left at home..."
Shen Ping listened and agreed to everything.
Luo Qing and Yu Yan didn't have any special needs.
And noon passed.
Shen Ping couldn't wait to leave the courtyard. When he walked out of Huiquan Lane, he realized his own mentality and couldn't help laughing.
So he simply went to the second floor of Zhenbao Building, slowly drank a cup of spiritual tea, and started chatting with Manager Qu again.
"After discussion among the top leaders of the various sects some time ago, it was decided that the Danxia Sect and the Hehuan Sect would jointly manage Qingyang City. However, on the surface, it will be controlled by a late Jindan cultivator. The rents of the shops in the alleys and streets will not change."
"Wait until after the New Year."
"The two sects will officially take over, which is a good thing. In the future, various resources from Jin will continue to flow into Qingyang City, and the types and scope of tasks that independent cultivators can accept in the Deacon Hall will also expand."
Shopkeeper Qu smiled and said, "As long as there is no trouble, the market in Qingyang City will become more prosperous."
Shen Ping nodded and asked again, "What about the Jinyang Sect? Have they really given up all the mines in Fangshi?"
Shopkeeper Qu casually replied, "All the major sects have gradually withdrawn from the Jinyang Sect, so Jinyang Square is still in their hands."
