Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 140: Seizing the Moment
The next day, the spiritual fog that wafted through the small courtyard was as thin as a gauze.
Shen Ping was wearing a plain brocade robe with wide sleeves. The round purple color of his collar revealed. The jade belt embroidered with white clouds on his waist had seven flickering purple lightning luster. On both sides of him hung a jade pendant with a special carving. He stood on a pair of water-like sky-blue boots with a small cloud ring around it.
His grayish-white crown looked elegant but dignified.
Bai Yuying gently raised her toes and seriously combed his hair. She said with a charming smile, "Husband's outfit is really tempting."
Luo Qing's voice was calm as she added, "They're all top-grade Dharma artifacts. Husband, you're very attractive."
Shen Ping smiled and said, "When I come back from tasting wine, not only will you be tempted tonight, but your hearts will also tremble."
The two girls immediately felt their legs go weak. The two shivers in the middle of the night were still fresh in their minds.
At this moment, Pei Huoyu walked out of the quiet room. The flame-colored light armor covered the curves. Shen Ping subconsciously glanced at it from the corner of his eye and felt that the outline seemed to have become bigger.
They left Tongquan Alley. The morning glow in the sky had yet to fade. However, when they reached the entrance of Qingyang City, the sunlight had already shone through the clouds. A clear light landed on Pei Huoyu. There was a touch of moving calmness on her valiant face. It was as if nothing could stir the waves in her heart.
He stepped on a small cloud boat. Soon, it turned into a streak of light and sped into the distance. The spirit vein cave abode where Chong Ji was located was not far from the Qingyang Lake, but it still needed twenty minutes of travel.
"Senior Pei."
"What's the matter?"
"When I was cultivating recently, I realized that my magic power had increased faster and my physique had increased abnormally. It seems to be related to the blood of that strange beast."
Pei Huoyu glanced sideways. "The blood of the strange beast is a restricted resource of the True Treasure Pavilion. It will hide in your body and produce an endless enhancement effect." As she spoke, she hesitated. Then, she asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, how did you pass the third assessment?"
"The assessment requirement is to shatter the bronze disc. I did it. However, the difficulty is a little high. It didn't shatter the first time." Shen Ping shook his head.
Pei Huoyu looked back. "In that case, Fellow Daoist Shen shattered it a second time."
"Yes."
"Actually… the third assessment can be passed as long as you continuously bombard the bronze disc and drain the blood of the strange beast pattern. However, if you shatter the disc, the blood of the strange beast you obtain will increase the most."
Pei Huoyu looked ahead, and her voice seemed to fluctuate slightly. "The reason why you can feel your magic powers improve in such a short period of time and increment in your physique is related to this. When you completely absorb the blood of the strange beast, your path to the Nascent Soul will no longer have any obstacles."
Shen Ping could not help but say, "Senior Pei, is the effect of this strange beast blood actually so magical?" He was surprised. If it was really that powerful, wouldn't obtaining more strange beast's blood allow a cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul realm?
This time, Pei Huoyu turned around and looked at Shen Ping seriously. "Restricted-level resources are far more magical than you expected. Fellow Daoist Shen. You're already a core member of the True Treasure Pavilion. Don't limit yourself to a remote place in the Wei Kingdom.
"The Dao of Talismans is only one of the Hundred Arts. The truly powerful one will always be his cultivation and strength. You can absorb the complete blood of a strange beast, and it's even at the Foundation Establishment Realm. This is a huge blessing."
Shen Ping could hear the envy in Pei Huoyu's tone. He smiled and said, "I was just lucky to shatter it. By the way, since this strange beast blood is a restricted resource, I think it's very difficult to obtain it in the True Treasure Pavilion, right?"
"The core members only have this one chance." Pei Huoyu hesitated and added, "However, this is only what I know. In the True Treasure Pavilion, authority and status represent everything. You are a D-level core member. Above that, there are three levels: C, B, and A.
"It's extremely difficult to advance at every level, and the corresponding treatment and authority are all different. At the B-grade, you might come into contact with more restricted-level information than me."
Shen Ping immediately understood. Perfected Pei was willing to compete to be his Dao Protector. It was very likely that she thought that he could advance to the B-grade core in the future.
As the two of them spoke, the cloud boat had already arrived above the spirit vein cave abode.
"Guest Elder Shen!"
"Senior Pei!"
Chong Ji and his disciples, who had been waiting on the jade platform in front of the cave abode, welcomed them warmly.
After Shen Ping landed, he put away the cloud boat. He smiled and cupped his hands in response. Then, under Chong Ji's lead, he walked into the spirit vein cave abode. It was narrow at first. After taking a few steps along the valley, it suddenly opened in front of him. freewebnøvel.com
Emerald mountain peak was enshrouded in multicolored light. A palace sat halfway up the mountain where a few waterfalls poured. Immortal cranes welcomed the door and auspicious beasts protected the mountain.
How was this a cave abode? It was clearly a spiritual mountain.
He saw Shen Ping's gaze move over. Chong Ji said helplessly, "This is Elder Peng's Little Spirit Peak in Qingyang Lake. Although he didn't participate in this banquet, he temporarily lent this Spirit Peak to me."
Shen Ping smiled and did not say anything. However, he sighed in his heart. There were favors everywhere.
Swoosh.
He stepped on the clouds and landed in front of the palace. Shopkeeper Qu, Shopkeeper Ding, and the other guest elders who had arrived early came out to welcome him. After the pleasantries, Shen Ping sat down in the front hall.
It was very close to the front. It was not convenient for him to refuse. After all, Perfected Pei was sitting beside him, so it was naturally impossible for him to be too far behind. He glanced around. Other than spiritual fruits and delicacies, there were also seven different-colored jade cups placed on the jade table.
Chong Ji gave his eldest disciple a few instructions before leaving to welcome the other invited guests.
"Guest Elder Shen." Di Shouye went forward and said respectfully, "At this banquet, there are a total of eight types of Golden Core spirit wine, 36 types of Foundation Establishment spirit wine, and two special spirit wines. At that time, you can try a cup of each spirit wine. You can take a nap in Room 3 in the back hall at noon."
As he spoke, he sent a voice transmission, "My master said that some fellow Daoists might visit. We didn't discuss this with you previously. I hope you can forgive us. If you don't want to meet other cultivators, my master will help you arrange it again."
Shen Ping said casually, "Let's rearrange it." He came here mainly to taste wine, not to do anything else.
"Yes."
As time passed, the cultivators of the banquet arrived one after another. Among them, more than ten Golden Core elders from the Danxia Sect and the Acacia Faction came.
"Guest Elder Shen."
"Senior Pei.
Their smiles were very warm. Some even chatted with Shen Ping and asked if he was used to living in Tongquan Alley. And all kinds of praises were endless.
Many cultivators who had a shallow relationship with Shen Ping and were unfamiliar with him were rather envious when they saw this scene. They came to the banquet mainly to get to know this Guest Elder Shen. Even if they could talk a little more, it might become a blessing in the future.
When the jade table was about to be filled, a figure appeared at the entrance of the front hall.
She was wearing a purple orchid dress, and her hair was tied up with a pearl hairpin. There was a little makeup between her eyebrows, and her lips were red. Her face revealed a graceful and luxurious aura, and the aura of a Golden Core lingered on her body.
Instantly, the eyes of the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators gathered.
True Treasure Pavilion's Perfected Qiu. Her hands were folded at her waist in front of her. When she walked elegantly, purple and pink jade belts fluttered behind her shoulders.
"Senior Qiu." Shen Ping stood up and bowed.
Perfected Qiu's red lips moved slightly, and a smile appeared on her elegant face. She first cupped her hands at Pei Huoyu before saying, "Guest Elder Shen, I hope you can enjoy your wine today."
She sat down on Shen Ping's left. Shen Ping glanced sideways. When he saw her sitting down, he could see the majestic curve in front of the corset almost hit the jade table from the corner of his eye.
He was shocked.
What a majestic and heroic Golden Core.
Not long after, all the cultivators in the hall had arrived. After Chong Ji said a few words, the music of the Mystic Immortal Pavilion started playing. One after another, skilled female cultivators walked to the hall and danced.
The tasting banquet began.
"This first spirit wine is the Blue Flame Water Wine produced by the Jin Kingdom. Fellow Daoists and seniors, please!" As Chong Ji spoke, he waved his sleeve. Pure magic power controlled the spirit wine in the jar to float into the jade cups of every banquet cultivator. Just this meticulous control of magic power made many Golden Core cultivators nod to themselves.
Shen Ping picked up the jade cup. Just as he was about to taste it, a voice sounded in his ear. "Guest Elder Shen, this Blue Flame Water Wine will feel a little cold when you first taste it, but when it lands in your stomach, it can ignite a ball of flames. The taste of the wine is different. When you taste it, you have to savor it drop by drop. Otherwise, you will lose the effect it deserves."
Shen Ping subconsciously glanced over. Perfected Qiu closed her eyes and slowly tasted the Blue Flame Water Wine. The curves in front of her purple orchid dress undulated slightly. There seemed to be the intention of wine brewing.
"Guest Elder Shen. Every night, I drink a few cups of spirit wine. This spirit wine can expel the bitterness of Golden Core cultivation. It's just that there's always something missing. I wonder if Guest Elder Shen can help me make up for this little thing and completely relieve the bitterness in my heart. If you're willing, drink three drops of Blue Flame Water Wine.
If we're not fated, drink it in one gulp!" Perfected Qiu's eyes remained closed. However, her fingers holding the jade cup were trembling slightly.
Shen Ping retracted his gaze. Looking at the Blue Flame Water Wine in his hand, he did not know how to taste it. Last time, Perfected Qiu had invited him. He did not dare to test the depths of the Golden Core.
But he has experienced a lot these days. Especially after what Perfected Pei had said earlier, he was touched.
The world was huge. The True Treasure Pavilion was very far away. All he could do was grasp the moment. He had to grasp the situation in front of him.
Thinking of this, Shen Ping raised his head and drank three drops of Blue Flame Water Wine in a row.
Almost instantly, Perfected Qiu's graceful and luxurious face revealed a smile that seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden. The corners of her lips moved slightly. "Thank you for giving me a chance, Guest Elder Shen. This concubine's misery has its ups and downs. The ups are huge. The downs are deep.
"Five drops of Blue Flame Water Wine will be served on the ups, and seven drops will be served on the downs. If there are both above and below, Guest Elder Shen, please taste them slowly."
