Spring Garden.

When Shen Ping arrived, he was still thinking about the information the deacon had mentioned.

Most of the cultivators living in Yunhe Alley were at the late-stage of Qi Refinement. He originally thought that the number of sect disciples who moved in would be smaller, but in the end, it was the most.

Among them, there should be some other unforeseen events. It could also be that there were many empty houses in Yunhe Alley.

Fortunately, it did not affect the ownership of the spot in the True Treasure Pavilion.

“One year! I have to make more preparations in the next few days and buy enough talismans and materials for my daily needs. I won’t go out if I can”.

Most of the disciples of the sect were arrogant. Once he bumped into them, the probability of other parties disliking him is high. He could not afford to offend them. He could only hold up the sign to save his life.

…..
“Talisman Master Shen is here. Come in, come in.” Matchmaker Ceng swayed her waist, her face filled with passion. They arrived at the private room.

Shen Ping did not see any beautiful figures. His expression turned cold as he said unhappily, “Could it be that Fellow Daoist Ceng is fooling me?”

Matchmaker Ceng hurriedly explained, “Talisman Master Shen, don’t be angry first. The situation is like this. The Jin Kingdom and the other sects have temporarily cut off the main passageway into the Cloud Mountain Swamp. Large flying ships can’t enter at all. If we don’t use the flying ship, the journey will be very dangerous. It’s impossible for the cultivators of our Spring Garden to take the risk to come from other passageways just because of a Spirit Protection Talisman.”

Shen Ping raised his voice. “What do you mean? Are you going to increase the price?”

He did not believe that Spring Garden would specially make a trip because of him.

Matchmaker Ceng shook her head. “Talisman Master Shen, you’ve misunderstood. 1 mean that this time, we have to extend it for a period of time, at least half a year. But don’t worry, our Spring Garden will compensate you for this.” As she spoke, she took out a jade token. “Inside are the three women with special bloodlines this time. Talisman Master Shen, you can choose first.”

Shen Ping’s expression softened. His divine sense permeated the jade token.

Three female cultivators with different appearances and figures flashed past.

However, the demeanor and temperament of these female cultivators were completely inconsistent with their age, especially their eyes. There was a hint of numbness. Although they forced a smile, one could still see their unwillingness.

He sighed inwardly. “Fellow Daoist Ceng, forget it. If there’s anyone else that fits—”

Matchmaker Ceng quickly interrupted, “Talisman Master Shen, these three female cultivators were carefully selected. They are also willing to marry a reliable cultivator as their partner. It will be their blessing to choose one.”

As she spoke, she then whispered the bloodline situation of the three female cultivators.

Shen Ping frowned and could not help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Ceng, according to my understanding, those who have the abnormal bloodline could cultivate extremely quickly. Perhaps there is a limit, but they are more than a little stronger than ordinary cultivators. And the aura of these female cultivators seems to be at the third level of Qi Refinement, or around the fourth level.”

Matchmaker Ceng laughed dryly. “I’m not sure about that.”

Shen Ping snorted in his heart. It was most likely something sinister. He thought for a moment and asked, “If both sides are dissatisfied, what will happen to them?”

Matchmaker Ceng smiled and said, “The Golden Sun Sect’s mineral vein has always lacked cultivators. However, Talisman Master Shen, don’t worry. Our Spring Garden won’t make a loss. People will only search for such special people after confirming their intentions. Therefore, if you give up, it can only be said to be a pity.”

“Forget it.” Shen Ping stood up. “The one in the green dress. I can give it a try and see if both parties are satisfied.”

Matchmaker Ceng smiled warmly. “Alright, Talisman Master Shen, I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Black Water Spirit Turtle Bloodline. I’m afraid the waters behind Spring Garden are very deep.” Shen Ping did not dare to think about it carefully and hurriedly suppressed the thoughts that were flying in his mind.

Back at Yunhe Alley, he entered a boring and fulfilling life again.

Soon, two days passed. His wife and concubine could clearly sense that Shen Ping was distracted.

At night, Shen Ping ended his cultivation early. “Yun’er, Ying’er, I might not be in the house tonight.”

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said happily, “Congratulations, husband!”

Bai Yuying was a little slow, but she quickly came back to her senses. “No wonder you keep looking downstairs today. It turns out that you and Senior Yu… Hehe, looks like we have another sister!”

Shen Ping coughed a few times and instructed, “Rest early.” He quickly walked out of the house.

Bai Yuying muttered, “1 wonder if he knows how to paste the Silence Talisman.”

Wang Yun exclaimed, “Maybe, maybe not.”

Their gazes intertwined. A faint blush appeared on the corners of their lips.

He stood at the door of the first floor. Shen Ping’s long and heavy breathing gradually became chaotic. He breathed in the smell of petals coming from the door.

Yu Yan’s beautiful figure subconsciously appeared in his mind.

Mandarin duck powder.

At this moment, he was extremely sure.

Phew.

Ha.

He took a deep breath. It was as if he wanted to absorb the taste of the petals into his mind. After calming down, Shen Ping raised his hand and was about to knock on the door. A voice came from the door. “Come in. The door is open.”

Only then did he notice a crack at the edge of the door. The moment he pushed open the door, a picture of a beauty coming out of the bath appeared in front of him.

But soon, Shen Ping was stunned.

The scene in the room was completely different from what he had expected. Beside the wooden bed was a wooden bucket that could accommodate two people taking a bath. The boiling hot water kept steaming a large amount of white fog, which was filled with a very rich flower petal fragrance.

Yu Yan was wearing a robe. Her black hair was tied up, and a murderous look flickered between her brows. Shen Ping was stunned for dozens of breaths before he could not help but ask, “Fellow… Fellow Daoist Yu, what are you doing?”

Plop!

A slender white snake suddenly jumped out of the hot water. The white snake rushed into the fog. It was as if it was riding on clouds and mist, absorbing the heat until the white fog in the entire house completely disappeared. The white snake turned around and returned to the hot water.

Yu Yan did not say anything. Shen Ping could only wait patiently. Ten minutes passed. The water in the wooden bucket gradually became clear. The white snake swam.

Shen Ping noticed that there was an abnormal flush on Yu Yan’s smooth face. She quickly walked to the edge of the wooden bucket and pulled open her robe. The mandarin duck powder on her thin gauze clothes was abnormally eye-catching.

Splash.

The sound of water rippled. Yu Yan soaked herself in the wooden bucket. Shen Ping shuddered and hurriedly closed the door. Just as she was about to take a bath, he heard an anxious shout. “Fellow Daoist Shen, be careful.”

Before she could finish speaking, the white snake actually rushed out of the wooden barrel and attacked Shen Ping at lightning speed.

However, Shen Ping was at the fifth level of Qi Refinement after all. His reaction was very fast, and he easily dodged the white snake’s sudden attack. Then, he suddenly stretched out his palm and grabbed the white snake.

Shen Ping was stunned to discover that this white snake was actually a puppet made of white silk and thousand-year-old silver wood mixed with some rare mineral sand.

“This is the only thing my master left me.” Yu Yan formed a few hand seals with her wrist. The white snake puppet lost its agility and became mechanical and stiff.

Shen Ping subconsciously asked, “Fellow Daoist Yu, is your master a puppet master?”

Yu Yan nodded and said coquettishly, “Why are you still standing there? I can’t wait anymore!”
