Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 60: Two Paths
He walked out of the True Treasure Pavilion. The shopkeeper's last confident words still lingered in Shen Ping's ears. They dared to pursue the matter with the Nascent Soul cultivators. Whether it was true or not, just this confidence was enough to prove the strength of the True Treasure Pavilion.
He subconsciously looked up and saw the words written on it. In the past, he only felt that this line of words was sharp, but now that he looked at it again, he felt that there was light between the words!
He put away his thoughts.
Shen Ping walked away, but he did not return to Yunhe Alley directly. Instead, he walked out of the market and arrived at Spring Garden. He had to be prepared for everything.
Currently, the True Treasure Pavilion indeed looked like a very suitable place for protection. However, he was not young anymore. Although his Talisman Daoism level had reached the second level, his Foundation Establishment potential would definitely be greatly reduced because of his age.
At that time, he could only go all out. He was not completely confident whether he could pass. If he didn't pass, Spring Garden was his last hope.
"Oh, Talisman Master Shen is here. Please come in!" Matchmaker Ceng happened to send out a cultivator. When she saw Shen Ping, her face that was piled up with makeup was filled with enthusiasm. She brought Shen Ping to the second floor.
"Talisman Master Shen, the Luo Qing I introduced last time is not bad, right? Although her personality is a little cold, she's still quite obedient and sensible." Speaking of this, she smiled and said, "I believe Talisman Master Shen has enjoyed a lot of pleasure these days."
Shen Ping smiled calmly. "Not bad."
Matchmaker Ceng's smile widened. "It's good that you're satisfied. What kind of concubine are you taking this time? There are no more exotic bloodlines for the time being. There are a few others with good personalities, but they might be slightly worse in terms of obedience. As long as you ask, I guarantee that my Spring Garden will satisfy you…"
Shen Ping interrupted, "Fellow Daoist Ceng, I'm not here to take in a concubine this time. I just want to ask if Spring Garden has a flying ship that can leave the Cloud Mountain Swamp?"
Matchmaker Ceng's smile decreased a little. "Oh, so Talisman Master Shen is leaving the Cloud Mountain Swamp. Why? Now, cultivators from the Jin Kingdom and other sects have surged into the Cloud Mountain Swamp. Even the Danxia Sect has established a branch sect in Cloud Mountain. In the future, this place might very well become the most prosperous market in the Wei Kingdom.
It might even be able to build an immortal city. The other cultivators can't wait to come here!"
Shen Ping chuckled and prepared to trick him. "Fellow Daoist Ceng, Spring Garden is spread all over Wei Kingdom's markets. Don't tell me you didn't receive any news? The Golden Sun Sect's flying ship to the other markets has already been suspended. Something big might happen in the Cloud Mountain Swamp next."
Matchmaker Ceng said in surprise, "The flying ship stopped? I really didn't know about this!"
Shen Ping took out a Golden Light Talisman and placed it on the table. Then, he stared at Matchmaker Ceng. He did not believe that a faction like Spring Garden did not know anything.
Matchmaker Ceng accepted the Golden Light Talisman without hesitation and said with a smile, "Talisman Master Shen, you're really well-informed. Cloud Mountain Parlour will indeed be a little chaotic. As for the exact situation, I'm afraid you think too highly of me. My cultivation level and status in Spring Garden are not high. Even if something really happens, I can only leave it to fate!"
Shen Ping didn't say anything else. "Fellow Daoist Ceng, what conditions do you need to leave the Cloud Mountain Swamp?"
Matchmaker Ceng's smile disappeared. Her voice was calm and even a little cold. "30 Spirit Protection Talismans for one life!"
On this issue, Shen Ping knew that there was no possibility of bargaining. 30 Spirit Protection Talismans were indeed very expensive, especially now that the purchasing power of the spirit stones in the market had increased. However, as long as he could guarantee his safety, he had to admit it no matter how expensive it was. "Sure!"
Matchmaker Ceng's smile returned. "Talisman Master Shen is a straightforward person. I can't guarantee anything else in Spring Garden, but you can rest assured in terms of credibility."
A moment later, he walked out of Spring Garden. Matchmaker Ceng sent a voice transmission, "Talisman Master Shen, remember that at the critical moment, my Spring Garden can only leave. 30 Spirit Protection Talismans and one life!"
…
He walked into the market.
Looking at the bustling main street, more than half of the huge rock in Shen Ping's heart had shattered. With the two paths, the True Treasure Pavilion and Spring Garden, no matter what happened in the Cloud Mountain Parlour and the Cloud Mountain Swamp, he had a chance to leave and not fall into a desperate situation.
Of course, compared to Spring Garden, he trusted the True Treasure Pavilion more.
"Five days later. I hope everything goes well!"
He suppressed his thoughts and arrived at the Talisman Treasure Hall. Seeing that Yu Yan was not around, Shen Ping simply entered the Talisman Treasure Hall and waited.
It was almost five in the evening when Yu Yan just appeared. When she saw Shen Ping's relaxed expression, she was in a surprisingly good mood. "It seems to be going smoothly."
Shen Ping nodded. "What about you?"
Yu Yan smiled and said, "With Fellow Daoist Shen's reputation as a talisman master as a guarantor, there's no problem with forming a hunting group. Moreover, a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator has also joined. I chatted with this person for a while, which is why I'm delayed until now."
"Late-stage Qi Refinement realm?" Shen Ping was surprised.
Yu Yan looked around. "Let's talk when we get back."
They returned to the small courtyard in Yunhe Alley. He had just closed the door. Both of them, who were in a good mood, looked at each other. Flames gradually exploded in their pupils.
"I want to eat."
"What do you want to eat?"
"You!"
Soon, two figures flashed to the main room. The white snake puppet quietly hid.
Yu Yan's black hair was casually scattered, and her fair and moist skin was glowing. She glanced at Shen Ping coquettishly. "Fellow Daoist Shen, I've let you have your way again!"
Shen Ping smiled. Although the pressure in his heart had lessened, he still couldn't relax, he immediately talked about serious matters. "The market is indeed going to be chaotic, and I'm afraid the matter is more serious than expected. Fellow Daoist Yu, you can form a hunting group, but it's best not to leave Cloud Mountain Parlour to accept missions."
Yu Yan understood what Shen Ping meant. She hesitated and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid such a small group won't be able to help us at the critical moment. They can only be used to obtain some information about the Cloud Mountain Swamp."
"Don't worry about it. It's better to have some information than to be isolated. Especially the Chen Market, the more I understand the situation at the edge of the Cloud Mountain Swamp, the more I can see the current situation."
Shen Ping pondered for a moment. "In a few days, I still have to interact with the Zhang brothers opposite. They often go out, so they might know more than us."
Yu Yan nodded. "I'll do it."
They chatted for a while more. Shen Ping did not stay any longer and returned to the second floor.
In the next few days, he tried his best to adjust his mental state. He did not rush to make talismans. Instead, he relaxed and casually made a few high-level talismans to ensure that he would not fail in one go.
Five days later, in front of the market's True Treasure Pavilion, Shen Ping took a deep breath of the warm air and walked in. Mu Jin was already waiting. When she saw Shen Ping, she went forward with a sweet smile and said, "Talisman Master Shen, let's go. The shopkeeper is in the backyard."
With that, she walked in front.
Shen Ping couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He quickly tried to look away, and his eyes fell on the back of Mu Jin's round skirt. The lines and outlines of her walking were not inferior to Yan's.
He came to the backyard.
He immediately calmed down.
