Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 92: Qi Refinement Level Nine

May.

The air was filled with the refreshing fragrance of wine. When one smelled it carefully, it was different from the smell of wine. Many new tenants in Qingyang City found it novel. After asking around, they found out that this was the smell of the Drunken Spirit Fish in Qingyang Lake. Every three years, the Drunken Spirit Fish would perform a spiritual fish tide that jumped over the dragon gate.

They would swim around the Level-three spiritual vein until one of them transformed into a Golden Drunken Spirit Fish. Only then would the tide of Drunken Spirit Fish retreat.

Early in the morning.

At the dining table.

Yu Yan smiled and said, "The Golden Drunken Spirit Fish is the highest-grade brewing ingredient. Every three years, cultivators will wait at the surface of Qingyang Lake for the spirit fish tide to transform. Whether they can catch it depends on luck.

If they are lucky enough to catch this transformed Golden Drunken Spirit Fish and sell it to a restaurant to earn a lot of spirit stones, they can even stay in our Huiquan Alley for a few years."

Bai Yuying's eyes flickered with curiosity. "Sister Yu Yan, when will the spiritual fish tide begin?"

"In two days."

After Yu Yan finished speaking, many gazes gathered on Shen Ping. Shen Ping smiled warmly and said, "How can I miss such an event? In two days, I'll bring you guys to see it."

Bai Yuying clapped her hands and praised, "Hehe, my husband is still the best."

After the meal, Shen Ping came to the quiet room and sat down cross-legged. Watching the Drunken Spirit Fish Event was just a small matter. What he was most concerned about was his own cultivation.

At this moment, the spiritual energy and meridians in his dantian had long been filled to perfection. The cultivation speed of the top-grade spiritual root under the spiritual pool was indeed shockingly fast. With the help of spirit liquid and medicinal pills, he could have broken through five to six days ago. However, Shen Ping was not in such a hurry.

Instead, he continuously compressed and condensed his spiritual energy, allowing every inch of his meridians to reach the limit of his spiritual energy.

And now was the time to break through.

Phew.

Ha.

He took a few deep breaths, all distracting thoughts were eliminated. The moment his spirit platform emptied, he swallowed a drop of spirit liquid.

Boom.

The meridians in his dantian instantly boiled. His full spiritual energy seemed to have been ignited and became violent and turbulent. Shen Ping's divine sense permeated and guided this spiritual energy to circulate along the Heavenly Cycle. It was just four minor cycles.

His aura suddenly soared. However, the violent spiritual energy calmed down and gathered in his dantian again. He had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Ping's expression did not change. The eighth to ninth level of Qi Refinement was the accumulation of spiritual energy. As long as he accumulated enough, there would be no bottleneck.

After his physique increased, the total amount of spiritual energy his meridians could accommodate increased. With the supply of spirit liquid, his accumulation was really strong. This breakthrough was completely natural.

Next, he spent a few hours meditating to stabilize his cultivation.

At dawn the next day, Shen Ping walked out of the quiet room and came to the room with his aura restrained.

Yu Yan soaked in the hot water in the wooden bucket. Her waves were as magnificent as a mountain. She bit a strand of black hair with a faint smile on her lips. Her eyes were filled with spring. Just as she was about to speak, she sensed Shen Ping's deepness.

"Husband, you broke through?"

"That's right. I'm already at the ninth level of Qi Refinement." As Shen Ping spoke, he stood with his hands behind his back. He had the boldness of a cultivator who had perfected Qi Refinement.

Yu Yan swam to the edge of the wooden barrel cooperatively. She supported her shoulders with her arms and said with admiration, "Husband, you're amazing."

Shen Ping smiled calmly. He glanced at the flat ridge from the corner of his eye and flicked his sleeve. "I have something more powerful."

The sound of water rippled and the stars flickered.

…

Two days later, the sun had just risen, the intoxicating fragrance of the wine became stronger.

Whoosh.

The entire Qingyang City's sky-restricting array suddenly withdrew. Immediately, streams of rainbow light rushed up.

Shen Ping also stepped onto the Dharma artifact and brought his wife and concubines to the surface of Qingyang Lake outside the city. He looked down at the clear blue water. He could clearly see a large number of Drunken Spirit Fish gathering towards the Level 3 spiritual vein. Many silver tails jumped out of the water, their scales shining and splashing waves.

At this moment, the other demon beasts in the lake had disappeared. Only the Drunken Spirit Fish was left. As they gathered more and more, the vast Qingyang Lake actually revolved around Qingyang City. Such a magnificent and beautiful scene made many cultivators unable to help but praise.

None of the cultivators entered the arena, and they were all silently waiting for the Drunken Spirit Fish to transform.

The morning sun gradually rose.

It was noon.

A large number of cultivators in the air became excited and rushed to the surface of the water to fish the Drunken Spirit Fish. No one knew the exact location of the Golden Drunken Spirit Fish. Most cultivators only wanted to try something new. At the same time, this event was also a way to relax their mental state.

"Husband, shall we go down too?" Bai Yuying said excitedly.

Wang Yun's eyes revealed her intention. Hence, Shen Ping landed on the water with his wife and concubines. Waves of water swept up water vapor.

Yu Yan waved her hand to block it.

Luo Qing watched quietly.

His wife and concubines each used their own methods to grab the Drunken Spirit Fish under the water. Soon, they grabbed two. They were half the length of a person and emitted a drunken fragrance.

"No, this one isn't good either."

"Ah, there's not even a silver one."

The two girls were having a lot of fun.

Bai Yuying even shouted, "Husband, come and catch one too!"

Shen Ping shook his head. "I won't join in the fun."

Soon, ten minutes passed. They did not see the Golden Drunken Spirit Fish for a long time so many cultivators returned in disappointment. However, there were still many cultivators who continued to fish.

"Let's go. We should go back too." Shen Ping smiled.

Wang Yun and Bai Yuying's clothes were wet, and their faces were red. Clearly, they were in a good mood.

However, just as Shen Ping was about to return, a silver-tailed fish jumped out of the water. Its tail instantly turned golden when it emerged from the water and crashed into Luo Qing's arms. Shen Ping and Yu Yan were both stunned. Luo Qing hugged the Golden Drunken Spiritual Fish in a daze.

"Golden Drunken Spirit Fish!"

"It's the Golden Drunken Spirit Fish…"

His wife and concubines were extremely excited. Many cultivators also noticed the situation here and came over to congratulate him enviously. There were even many restaurant managers who wanted to buy it. Shen Ping glanced at Luo Qing and sold it to a restaurant manager on the spot. "Let's go. This spiritual fish event is quite interesting."

The dharma artifact flashed. The rainbow light streaked across the water and returned to the city not long after. Shen Ping did not return to the alley directly. Instead, he brought his wife and concubines to stroll around the streets.

Luo Qing was silent.

They shopped for an hour.

Shen Ping looked at Luo Qing and held her hand. "Don't think too much. It's just a Golden Drunken Spirit Fish. This is your good fortune. Let's go. We earned a lot of spirit stones today.

I'll bring you to Virtue Tower for a good meal."

…

For the next few days, Luo Qing was not in a good state. In the past, although she was expressionless when they had sex, her cheeks and skin would also be flushed. Her eyes were blurry as she immersed herself in it. However, these few days, she had frowned and no one knew what she was thinking.

Shen Ping knew that Luo Qing had her own story in her heart. Her physique could not withstand the Spirit Turtle Bloodline, but only she knew where the bloodline came from and why she was subservient to Spring Garden.

Mid-May.

In the private room on the second floor of the True Treasure Pavilion, Shen Ping and Shopkeeper Ding sat on both sides and tasted the spiritual tea.

"Talisman Master Shen, you have broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement. I think you're not far from Foundation Establishment." Shopkeeper Ding sighed.

Ever since Shen Ping became a guest elder, he had thought highly of him. Now, in just a few years, he had broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement. Although he had the resources of the True Treasure Pavilion, his talent and potential in Dao of Talisman could not be ignored.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "I just broke through and still need time to polish myself. I wonder why Shopkeeper Ding invited me this time?"

Shopkeeper Ding said bluntly, "It's like this. My opportunity for Foundation Establishment is next month, but I don't have enough spirit stones on me, so I want to borrow some spirit stones from Talisman Master Shen."

Shen Ping said readily, "How much do you want to borrow, Shopkeeper Ding?" As long as he signed the blood contract, he was not worried that Shopkeeper Ding would not return it. Moreover, Shopkeeper Ding's connections and background were not low. If there was really a problem with his character, he would not have gotten to know Shopkeeper Qu and Guest Elder Chong.

"A hundred and fifty will do. This is the contract." Shopkeeper Ding said seriously.

Shen Ping glanced at it and accepted the contract. He smiled and said, "I still trust Shopkeeper Ding." As he spoke, he took out spirit stones from his storage bag.

Shopkeeper Ding smiled warmly and cupped his hands. "Thank you for your generous help, Talisman Master Shen. If I succeed in building my foundation, I will definitely return it as soon as possible."

Shen Ping flattered him. "Shopkeeper Ding, you will definitely be able to successfully build your foundation. At the True Treasure Pavilion auction next month, are you going to auction the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

As he spoke, he looked puzzled.

This was because they could directly buy Foundation Establishment Pills in the True Treasure Pavilion. Although there were restrictions, Shopkeeper Ding's background did not have to wait until a fixed auction.

Shopkeeper Ding hesitated for a moment. He supported himself on the table and said in a low voice, "Talisman Master Shen, you're also at the ninth level of Qi Refinement now. Sooner or later, you will have to prepare for Foundation Establishment. There are several supplementary treasures for Foundation Establishment. Every treasure can increase the chances of Foundation Establishment.

The older you are, the more you need the supplementary treasures. Otherwise, if you fail, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping nodded in agreement. He could not help but say, "The various rare treasures of Foundation Establishment must be very expensive. I wonder if Shopkeeper Ding can tell me in detail which types you need?"
