Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 68: Foundation Establishment Divine Sense

In the blink of an eye, June arrived.

The cultivators in the alleys of Cloud Mountain Parlour went to the Deacon Hall one after another to pay the spirit stones for the rental house. However, the number of cultivators queuing up this year had clearly decreased. The inaction of the city's law enforcement patrol made the rogue cultivators bitterly disappointed.

More rogue cultivators chose to directly go outside Ningshui Alley and build houses to live in. Although this was not safe, there was not much guarantee in the city. Instead of continuing to pay a high rental fee, it was better to gather outside.

The rogue cultivators who came from the Chen Market used this method. They did not lose much in the past half a year.

Therefore, many rogue cultivators were tempted. Now that the demonic cultivators were wreaking havoc around the Cloud Mountain Swamp, the mission to earn spirit stones was getting harder and harder. They had to save as much as they could.

In response, the Golden Sun Sect did not respond, as if they had tacitly agreed to this.

"The Zhang brothers in room five have left."

At five o'clock, As Yu Yan leaned against the wooden bucket and closed her eyes to reminisce, she mentioned this matter.

Shen Ping sighed softly and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yu, how are the members of the hunting group you formed these days?"

"It's not bad. The rogue cultivators have some savings. If they really want to hold on, they can hold on for a long time. But in the current situation, there's no point in holding on." Yu Yan half-opened her eyes and said hesitantly, "Actually, many rogue cultivators have realized that something is wrong. Some have begun to search for other ways to leave."

Shen Ping shook his head. "The Cloud Mountain's 100,000 mountains… Perhaps. If they're lucky, they might find a secluded place to avoid the chaos in the market."

Neither of them spoke. After a while, the sound of water in the wooden bucket surged. Yu Yan was completely immersed in her charm.

Until seven o'clock in the morning, Shen Ping held onto the wooden ladder and stepped up step by step. Under the teasing gazes of his wife and concubine, he casually ate some food and came to the quiet room to sit cross-legged.

A few moments later, all distracting thoughts were eliminated. When his mind was empty, he glanced at the virtual frame. The words 'breakthrough' appeared behind his divine sense.

Boom!

As he chanted in his heart, waves of mental energy had suddenly poured into the Niwan Palace. His warm divine sense instantly soared. His aura did not change, but he looked like a profound cultivator. There were even waves of invisible energy fluctuating around the quiet room.

It lasted for several hours. The quiet room slowly calmed down. Shen Ping suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flickering with a luster.

Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

It was indescribably wonderful.

The moment his transformation increased, he felt that his control over his spiritual energy and body had increased too much. If he encountered the battle outside Yunhe Alley again, he was confident that he could deal with it calmly.

"I should adjust my state and recuperate enough to make a Level Two talisman!"

In a good mood, he was not in a hurry to go to the talisman making room. Instead, he meditated until evening before walking out of the quiet room and giving his wife and concubines a look.

Soon, the new bed frame in the main room swayed.

Wang Yun and Bai Yuying were wearing faintly discernible black gauze clothes. Their every move carried a trace of different charm. Although they were already an old couple, this kind of pleasure was always insufficient when they were in high spirits.

In order to celebrate his breakthrough in the divine sense, Shen Ping added another two hours. The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Seeing Luo Qing's half-speechless almond-shaped eyes, he smiled and pulled her into his arms.

Out of habit, he opened the virtual frame. He realized that Luo Qing's affinity had actually increased to 65. He immediately found it funny. Although there was no expression on her face every time, her body was still very honest.

"Time reveals a person's heart!" Shen Ping could not help but sigh. Then, he looked at Wang Yun and Bai Yuying's favorability.

His expression became calm.

His wife and concubine's favorability did not increase for a long time. Although the two women's favorability had reached their respective limits, he had taken out a fixed time every day to accompany them. Sometimes, he would even go to the small courtyard to relax.

"Is this the bottleneck?" He frowned in thought.

It was normal for his wife's favorability to not increase. After all, it was already the limit of silver. The next transformation would probably be very difficult.

Bai Yuying was still an ordinary virtual frame. The last time he made a promise, it only increased it to the ordinary limit. He thought about it seriously. Shen Ping said gently, "Yun'er, Ying'er, you haven't been to the market for a long time, right? How about I bring you out to shop in a few days?"

When Bai Yuying heard this, she immediately nodded excitedly, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Hehe, Husband, can we really go?"

Wang Yun was also tempted, but she quickly said worriedly, "I heard from Alchemist Feng that the market is very chaotic now. It's inconvenient for you to bring us out. If we encounter danger, we will implicate you."

Luo Qing closed her eyes. She was not interested in any of this.

"It's fine. I'll protect you!"

His voice was filled with confidence.

As long as he did not encounter any Foundation Establishment cultivators in the market, no one could hurt him with the guest elder's wooden token. Moreover, as his level in the Dao of Talismans increased day by day, he was confident that in the remaining few days, he would be able to create an attack-type talisman that was relatively easy to make among Level Two talismans.

…

The next day, he had just pushed open the wooden window when the crisp sound of bells reached his ears.

Chen Ying had already flashed over and said with a cold smile, "Talisman Master Shen, your Dao Companion is becoming more and more charming. This is drawing fire to herself. If you don't resolve it soon, there will be no turning back."

Shen Ping looked down at the demoness with interest. He had ignored her several times. It seemed that she was really anxious and did not hide anything.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you don't have to worry about my Dao companion."

"Hmph, how cold and heartless."

Shen Ping chuckled and stopped pretending to be polite to her. "Fellow Daoist Chen, if you really care about my Dao companion, why don't we make a deal?"

Chen Ying asked curiously, "What deal?"

The corners of Shen Ping's mouth twitched.

Chen Ying's expression changed drastically as she stared at Shen Ping. "You, how can you know? There are no records of this in the entire market. Even if the True Treasure Pavilion has it, with your cultivation and identity—"

She stopped mid-sentence. Disbelief appeared in her eyes.

The guest token of the True Treasure Pavilion!

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, put away the thoughts you shouldn't have. You should know that I'll only need some time to deal with the cultivation technique of my Dao Companion. Therefore, whether you want to trade or not will depend on your own considerations."

With that, he closed the wooden window. Sect disciples could not be easily provoked. However, he was no longer a fool.

Chen Ying stood on the spot and came back to her senses. Her expression revealed some regret. If she had known that this middle-aged cultivator had such potential, she would not have had a teasing mentality.

"Damn it! Aren't you just a guest elder?! Just you wait!" She bit the corner of her lips indignantly.

…

For the next few days, Shen Ping was recuperating. Some time ago, when he was reading books, he bought five or six sets of materials for Level Two talismans. As a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion, he did not need to go through Mu Jin to sell talismans or buy items. He could directly take them from the pavilion.

However, every time he took items, there would be a record of the special array formation on the wooden shelf. The corresponding contribution points would be deducted. If there were no contribution points, they would be discounted by spirit stones.

He had just become a guest elder and had low contribution points. He could only use spirit stones to buy materials.

Five days later, in the talisman making room. He looked at the Level Two talisman materials that had been placed.

Shen Ping took a deep breath. Then, he calmed his mind and prayed. The talisman brush quickly outlined spirit patterns.

Apart from more complicated spiritual patterns, a second-level talisman also required a Talisman Master to pour his spiritual energy and divine sense into it. The two reached a certain balance and then activated the talisman brush. This was a very test of control.

During the True Treasure Pavilion's assessment, the reason why the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators were certain that Shen Ping could break through to Level Two was because they could tell that his control was very experienced.

This was the first time he had made it. So Shen Ping was not confident at all.
