Mu Jin’s voice trembled slightly. When she looked up and met Shen Ping’s slightly playful gaze, her sweet smile froze and she felt ashamed. Her face was hot and red, and it quickly spread to her earlobe.

At this moment, she really wanted to turn around and leave. However, her legs were firmly rooted to the ground.

Pengyun Shop was not bad, but there were strict requirements every year. In the past three months, she thought that she could rely on her temperament and experience to stabilize a few alchemists, Talisman Masters, and so on.

Unfortunately, she failed.

Qingyang City was too big. The newly opened Pengyun Shop was not famous at all. Without the luster of the True Treasure Pavilion, who would care about a mid-stage Qi Refinement realm female cultivator like her?

“Fellow Daoist Mu, have you thought it through?” Shen Ping slowly put down his teacup, and his gaze became calm.

Mu Jin pinched the corner of her dress with her fingers and nodded seriously.

Swoosh.

At this moment, Shen Ping flicked his finger, and a light landed on the Silent Talisman at the door. Then, he said with a smile, “As long as the private room of the True Treasure Pavilion is closed, no one will disturb you. Fellow Daoist Mu knows this better than me, so words are useless. I have to see your sincerity.”

As he spoke, the light of the Dharma artifact spread out for a few meters. Mu Jin took a deep breath, got up, and walked over. The light quickly drowned her. She looked at Shen Ping. Her cheeks were red, and the jade beads under her earlobes were round and bright.

“Talisman Master Shen, I have a presumptuous request.”

“Speak!” He smiled. Since Mu Jin had thought it through, he was not in a hurry.

“Will I be able to have fun with Talisman Master Shen after I succeed in

Foundation Establishment? My primordial yin towards women…”

“It seems that Fellow Daoist Mu is not sincere.” Shen Ping interrupted, shook his head, and stood up. “You can get someone else.”

“Late-stage Qi Refinement realm! This is my last request!” Mu Jin pleaded with a pale face, “Talisman Master Shen, for the sake of our many years of acquaintance, please, do me a favor.”

Shen Ping frowned and looked at Mu Jin. She was already at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, which was a good cultivation level. If she had enough resources, it would only take her a few years to break through to the late stage. Moreover, Mu Jin’s situation met his criteria for choosing dual cultivation, which was what he had in mind when he was in Cloud Mountain Parlour.

There was no harm in waiting for a few more days. After all, dual cultivation could also gain experience.

“Fellow Daoist Mu, what spiritual root do you have?” He sat down again and asked.

Mu Jin was relieved to see this. She quickly replied, “I have three spiritual roots.”

Shen Ping was stunned. “Three-element spiritual root. Your cultivation level is a little fast!” Although she had the resources of the True Treasure Pavilion, Mu Jin was still young.

“I have water, fire, and thunder.”

“Mutant Spiritual Root?” Shen Ping came to a realization. The cultivation speed of a mutated spiritual root was indeed faster than an ordinary five-element spiritual root. He thought for a moment and continued to ask, “Does Fellow Daoist Mu have any other skills? Your ancestor or master…?”

Mu Jin shook her head.

After making a mental note, he suddenly grabbed Mu Jin’s arm and pulled her into his arms. Smelling her hair and body scent, he stared into her eyes and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Mu, I can agree to what you said before. I’ll pluck your primordial yin at the late stage of Qi Refinement, but I have to get something while waiting.”

Mu Jin was a kindred spirit, so she naturally understood what Shen Ping meant. She lowered her head and said with a trembling body, “Other than Primordial Yin, Talisman Master Shen can decide everything else.”

Shen Ping laughed. Looking at the honeydew in front of him, he whispered into her ear, “I want to see the color of Fellow Daoist Mu’s room now!”

Mu Jin’s body tightened, and her face instantly flushed.

It was five in the evening. Shen Ping returned to the small courtyard in Huiquan Alley. There was still an indescribable fragrance on his fingers. His wife, Wang Yun, was watering the spiritual water of the spiritual date tree. The straight tree trunk left a long shadow. He stood in the doorway and watched. He couldn’t help but think of the layout of Mu Jin’s house.

“It’s quite similar. We just have to wait a few more years to thrive!” He shook his head and thought to himself that he was still soft-hearted. However, if he could obtain the lightning spirit root, this soft-heartedness might be useful.

“Husband,” Wang Yun greeted him with a smile.

Shen Ping carefully wiped the dirt on his wife’s dress with his sleeve and said gently, “Yun’er, cook early today. I have something good for you.”

“Alright, husband!”

As night fell, the dining hall was filled with delicacies, and the fragrance of food assaulted the nose.

Bai Yuying was not in a hurry to eat this time. Instead, she looked at Shen Ping expectantly. “Husband, Sister Yun’er said that you have prepared something good. I wonder what it is?”

Luo Qing did not care about anything good, but she still pricked up her ears. Shen Ping waved his hand. Three brocade boxes appeared on the table. “Open it and take a look.”

Bai Yuying picked up the brocade box and opened it. Her eyes instantly widened. “A Beauty Pill! Husband, is this really a Beauty Pill?!”

She couldn’t believe it. This was a Beauty Pill. It was a medicinal pill that countless female cultivators dreamed of. Just like that, it was placed in front of her.

Wang Yun looked at the medicinal pill in a daze. Unimaginable surprise surged in the corners of her eyes.

Beauty Pill.

She had heard of this pill before. As long as it was taken, both men and women could maintain their looks forever. She was worried all this time.

The splendor of youth fades easily. Looks will grow old. Her husband was still interested in her body now. However, if more than ten years passed and the luster of her skin disappeared, would her husband abandon her?

And now, this worry is completely gone.

“Husband… you’re too good to me.” Wang Yun pounced into Shen Ping’s arms and said with tears in her eyes, “The Beauty Pill is such a precious pill. Husband, you… you gave it to me just like that. I’m just a mortal. How can I be worthy of such a pill?”

Shen Ping smiled and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his wife’s eyes. “So what if you’re a mortal? Yun’er, you’re still my wife.”

Bai Yuying also came over and crossed her arms. “Husband, Ying’er doesn’t want to eat anymore. I want to be beaten up.”

How could Shen Ping reject such a request? He held his wife and concubine on both sides and strode towards the bedroom.

Luo Qing looked at the table full of delicacies and then at the brocade box. She stood up and silently followed with the brocade box.

Dozens of days later, Yu Yan finally ended her seclusion. The aura on her body was thick and had a natural charm, as if she had cultivated the Thousand Faces Charm Technique to her bones.

“Congratulations on stepping into the late-stage of Qi Refinement!” Shen Ping said happily.

Before he could finish speaking, the outline in front of Yu Yan’s robe quickly flattened. “Husband, I want to celebrate. A good celebration.”

Her words were filled with excitement. At the seventh level of Qi Refinement, she could finally look at the mountains of Foundation Establishment.

A few moments later, the bed was about to fall apart. The immersive dual cultivation improved Shen Ping’s physique again. After it ended, he looked at Yu Yan, who was reminiscing with her eyes closed. Just as he was about to launch a sudden attack, he suddenly frowned.

Then, he flashed out of the room and arrived at the quiet room. He sat down cross-legged. His divine sense slowly seeped into the meridians in his dantian.

With this sweep, Shen Ping immediately realized that his meridians had unknowingly strengthened a little. Although it was only a very subtle change, the total amount of spiritual energy contained in his meridians had increased this time, that’s why he could feel it.

“Physique. It’s probably something to do with physique.” He looked excited. The more spiritual energy there was in his meridians, the thicker they were. Without a doubt, the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm were higher. Moreover, he had a huge advantage in battle. “Divine sense. Puppet. Physique.”

Just by dual cultivating with Yu Yan, he obtained three effects. This made Shen Ping sigh with emotion. Fortunately, he had spent his family’s resources to deal with Yu Yan’s Black-striped Venomous Worm back then. Otherwise, he would not have his current achievements.

Especially since his divine sense was too helpful to him.

To be able to rent such an expensive small courtyard in Qingyang City, his divine sense was his main contributor. If there was no divine sense, it was impossible for him to make a Level Two talisman.

Thinking of this, he opened the virtual frame.

[Puppet Master: Level 2 Low-grade (10,812/150,000)]

[Divine sense: Early-stage Foundation Establishment (14,272/120,000)]

His divine sense was still a little far from the middle stage.

Shen Ping did not mind. After all, it was very difficult to improve his divine sense. After transforming to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he did not gain much from dual cultivating with Yu Yan every day. However, as long as he persevered, he would continue to improve.

He stood up and returned to the room. He could not do anything halfway. They fought for a few more rounds. When the spiritual light of the Dao technique became weaker and weaker, the two of them ended their exchange.

During the break, Shen Ping told her about the Beauty Pill and Mu Jin. Yu Yan opened her eyes and teased with a smile, “Husband, you’re really generous. I don’t even have one yet.”

“Ahem, next time.” Shen Ping hurriedly said.

Yu Yan happened to be in seclusion, so he could only give the three Beauty Pills to his wife and concubines first. However, Yu Yan did not mind. Instead, she said, “Fellow Daoist Mu can stay with me for the time being.”

“That won’t be necessary. Not everyone can enter my small courtyard.” Shen Ping shook his head. He knew very well that Mu Jin’s compromise was just for the sake of life. After confirming the effect of dual cultivation, he would talk about other things in the future.

“Husband, I’m now at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. My progress in the future will slow down. I’ll just meditate for four to six hours every night. That’s why I want to go out and do something.”

Shen Ping was silent for a moment before nodding slowly. “Qingyang City is safe. Try your best to do things in the city.”

Yu Yan pressed down on Shen Ping’s arm and said gently, “Thank you, Husband. Do you want to continue?” As her voice fell, Shen Ping had already changed into his robe and was standing at the door of the room. Yu Yan, who was about to seduce him, missed. She snorted softly. “Fellow Daoist Shen, aren’t you going to leave some before leaving?”

“Next time!
