IVro days passed.

In Small Courtyard A13 of Huiquan Alley. The afterglow of the setting sun scattered down. Shen Ping stared at the clouds gathering in the sky for a long time. A moment later, beautiful figures walked out of the water room one after another.

Yu Yan was wearing a pleated ruyi embroidered with purple and green patterns. The purple orchid belt was tied up, and there was a mandarin duck knot hanging on the left side. Her shoulders were covered in pink gauze, and her hair was tied up. The butterfly jade hairpin hung on both sides. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and the corners of her eyes revealed a hint of charm. She slowly walked forward and bowed. “Husband.”

Then, it was Wang Yun. She was wearing a pink embroidered cloud brocade dress. Her belt was tied into a simple knot on the right. Her black hair was shimmering with tiny cloud beads that formed an arc. Her eyes under her smooth forehead were filled with excitement as she stood in front of Shen Ping with light footsteps. Her soft voice was mixed with joy. “Husband.”

Bai Yuying followed closely behind. She was wearing a purple silk dress with brocade patterns. There were ribbons hanging from her shoulders at her waist. Her earlobes were small and round, and her beautiful hair was simply combed. As she walked, she had a beautiful smile. After circling around, she hugged Shen Ping’s arm coquettishly. “Husband, does it look good?”

Shen Ping nodded with a smile.

Luo Qing was the last to walk out of the water room. She was wearing a brocade and white embroidered dress. Her hair was tied up and she casually pinned an aqua blue moth hairpin on her head. She slowly walked in front of Shen Ping and said with a clear voice, “Husband.”

Shen Ping swept his gaze over and clapped his hands. He smiled and said, “That’s right. Tomorrow is the Foundation Establishment Banquet. Wear this and welcome our guests.”

Bai Yuying could not help but say, “Husband, it’s said that there are Golden Core seniors at the banquet. Our cultivation levels are low, and it’s already out of the rules for us to follow you. If we greet them together, will it affect you?”

Wang Yun nodded repeatedly.

Yu Yan and Luo Qing looked at Shen Ping. Although the four of them were his wife and concubines, their cultivation levels were not even at the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was not suitable for them to attend the banquet.

Shen Ping smiled warmly and said, “This is my Foundation Establishment banquet. If I don’t have you guys, what’s the point?”

“Thank you, husband!” His wife and concubines said in unison.

“Alright, go and rest. I’m afraid we’ll be a little tired at the banquet tomorrow.”

Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, and Luo Qing all returned to the bedroom. Yu Yan fell behind. “Husband,” The Foundation Establishment Banquet is extraordinary. Fellow Daoist Mu…”

When Shen Ping heard this, the dazzling silver light appeared in his mind. He muttered, “1’11 send a message to her.”

Lushui Alley.

In the narrow cubicle.

Mu Jin, who had returned from the shop, washed up briefly and sat cross-legged on the cushion. She straightened her back, her round curves like the undulating mountains. The surrounding sounds seemed to have completely disappeared. There was only that unique thick smell left in her nose. Her eyes were tightly shut. She seemed to have sensed a majestic power. It surrounded her and advanced bravely from different positions.

In a flash, her breathing quickened slightly. Mu Jin’s fair palm extended along the material of the dress. Her cheeks were flushed.

All the distracting thoughts in the day were eliminated when the light faded. Life was no longer depressing and was filled with anticipation. However, just as she was about to meditate and cultivate, the communication talisman vibrated. She took it out and took a look.

A familiar voice sounded. “Huiquan Alley, Small Courtyard A13. Come over tonight. Join my Foundation Establishment banquet tomorrow.”

Mu Jin listened to it carefully a dozen times. She confirmed that there was no mistake. She carefully put away the communication talisman and stared blankly at the wall of the narrow cubicle.

Tears quietly fell from the corners of her eyes. Then, it flowed out uncontrollably. She was a little happy.

The next day, it was just dawn. Many rogue cultivators began their busy day. They were either out on missions, teaming up to hunt demon beasts, or exploring ancient ruins. As for Qingyang City’s air-restricting array, it had already been activated. Many figures stood in the small courtyard.

Pei Huoyu walked out of the quiet room and glanced at Yu Yan and the others before landing on Shen Ping. Shen Ping cupped his hands and flicked his sleeves. He said in a deep and powerful voice, “Let’s go!”

In the small courtyard where Shopkeeper Qu was, he stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at the light in the sky, waiting. His dao companion carefully tidied Shopkeeper Qu’s robe. “Let’s go over earlier today. It’s a little rude to fall behind the Foundation Establishment seniors and the Golden Core Daoists. Remember not to be greedy at the banquet. Although your relationship with Talisman Master Shen is not bad, you have to grasp it well.”

He listened to his dao companion’s tireless instructions. Shopkeeper Qu smiled and said, “1 understand.”

At the same time, on a mountain peak not far from Qingyang Lake. There were several spirit vein cave abodes. Chong Ji also looked at the gradually brightening sky. His eldest disciple waited patiently beside him, but he could not hide the nervousness on his face. “Master. How many Perfecteds will there be?”

“I don’t know.”

“Can we see Talisman Master Shen at our seats?”

“I don’t know.”

“The Foundation Establishment cultivators should be arranged to sit at the same table, right?”

“I don’t know.”

The eldest disciple became even more nervous. He could not help but say, “M-Master, why don’t I not go?!”

Chong Ji slapped him. “I haven’t even said that 1 don’t want to go. It’s not your turn to speak!”

The eldest disciple laughed dryly and said, “Master, are you nervous too?”

It’s just a small scene. I’m not as useless as you.”

“Master, you’re amazing!”

Time passed slowly.

Qingyang Lake.

The magic treasure ship that was like a small mountain sat on the East Lake. Inside the ship, the jade tables were neatly placed. Moreover, there was a pot of spirit wine and spiritual fruits on every jade table. There were paintings of mountains and rivers engraved all around, emitting waves of spiritual energy.

Shen Ping had long been waiting on the deck of the ship with his wife and concubines, while Pei Huoyu casually sat in front of the jade table and closed her eyes to rest. Not long after, the sky turned bright.

The morning sunlight broke through the clouds and sprinkled over Qingyang City.

Almost instantly, multiple rays of light shot up from different locations and sped along the sky of Qingyang Lake. Soon, they saw the magic treasure ship with a majestic aura.

The light dissipated.

Shopkeeper Qu calmed himself down. Before he could take a step, he saw a few streaks of light descend from the side. They were Shopkeeper Ding, Luo, Ruan, and the other guest elders.

“Old Ding, you came quite quickly!” Shopkeeper Qu smiled.

Shopkeeper Ding’s face was flushed. “It’s my honor to participate in Talisman Master Shen’s Foundation Establishment banquet. Of course, I have to come early.”

The few of them exchanged a few pleasantries. When they saw Shen Ping and his wife and concubines walking towards them, they cupped their hands.

“Congratulations, Talisman Master Shen, on your success in building your foundation!” Shen Ping smiled and quickly extended his hand to make an inviting gesture. “Fellow Daoist Qu, Fellow Daoist Ding, please come in.”

He stepped into the ship. Shopkeeper Ding and the others’ eyes lit up one after another. Hundreds of jade tables were placed in rows and did not seem crowded at all. Moreover, there was a wide round platform in the middle of the jade table. It seemed to be a place for dancing.

“As expected of a magic weapon!” Guest Elder Luo sighed.

Shopkeeper Qu and Shopkeeper Ding glanced at Pei Huoyu, who had her eyes closed in front of them. There was a unique logo on the jade table.

“A Golden Core Realm cultivator from the headquarters.” Shopkeeper Qu transmitted his voice.

Shopkeeper Ding’s body trembled slightly. He did not dare to look anymore and immediately followed Luo, Ruan, and the other guest elders to sit at the jade table that belonged to him.

As time passed, Chong Ji, his eldest disciple, and a few third-grade guest elders of the True Treasure Pavilion arrived and took their seats. When they saw that there was only Shopkeeper Qu and the others, they cupped their hands and bowed. They heaved a sigh of relief.

Chen Shurong walked into the ship. She glanced around and silently walked to her jade table and sat cross-legged. Seeing Shopkeeper Ding looking over with a smile, Chen Shurong hurriedly cupped her hands. Although there was a special array formation around her that could offset the spiritual pressure of the Foundation Establishment Realm, she could still vaguely sense that the few fellow daoists sitting beside her were mid-Foundation Establishment seniors.

From the corner of her eye, she looked at the empty jade tables. Her emotions fluctuated. She recalled her Foundation Establishment.

Only Fellow Daoist Hong and the other two or three mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators came to congratulate her. Now that Talisman Master Shen’s Foundation Establishment banquet had just begun, two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators had taken their seats.

Such a scene was unimaginable in the past. It was filled with mixed feelings. Another figure walked in. Before Chen Shurong could come back to her senses, she saw several Foundation Establishment Cultivators standing up. She was stunned for a moment before she turned around.

The person’s body emitted a trace of powerful magic power that was quickly offset by the array formation in the ship.

“Golden Core Daoist!” Her pupils dilated. When she regained her senses, she hurriedly stood up and bowed. The Golden Core cultivator replied with a smile. Then, his expression changed slightly and he bowed to the woman sitting in front.

After sitting down again, Chen Shurong looked at the woman in light armor, and her heart was in turmoil.

A bow of a Golden Core. What kind of existence was this?

And then, cultivators walked in one after another. Chen Shurong stood up again and again. Her expression changed from shock to gradual calm. She was already numb when nearly 80% of the jade tables in the ship were filled with guests.

In front of the nearby jade table, Di Shouye’s body stiffened and he did not dare to move at all. He tried his best to suppress his breathing. Even the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was sitting beside him. In his line of sight was Golden Core, Golden Core, and Golden Core!

This is the first time he had seen so many Golden Core Realm cultivators. Apart from being nervous, Di Shouye glanced at Chong Ji. His master sat cross-legged and did not move, as if he was even more nervous than him. He was instantly amused. He thought to himself that his master had never seen such a scene before.

It was almost noon.

The jade table in the ship was almost full.

Just as Chen Shurong, Chong Ji, and the other cultivators thought that they finally did not have to stand up, several figures walked in from outside. The person standing at the front was wearing a green pine robe. His face was dignified without being angry, and his body emitted majestic magic power.

Just his gaze alone gave off an extremely oppressive deterrence. Although the few people behind him were slightly inferior, every one of them had very powerful magic powers.

Almost instantly, whether it was the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators or the Golden Core cultivators, they all stood up and bowed respectfully.

“Nascent Soul! Nascent Soul!” Chen Shurong’s body trembled slightly. Her numb expression revealed shock again.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator had personally participated in the Foundation Establishment banquet.

It had only been a few years. She did not expect that Talisman A/laster Shen had already reached such a level that was difficult to look up to. It was unbelievable.

Di Shouye looked at the few figures who walked over and met his master’s gaze from the corner of his eye. He sighed with emotion. “This is the special-class guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion!”

After the Nascent Soul and the other figures sat down, the entire ship was silent.

At this moment, Shen Ping smiled and stepped into the ship. Yu Yan, Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, Mu Jin followed closely behind..
