Chapter 125: Don’t Fall (1)

At the entrance of the courtyard, he watched Elder Peng and Deacon Xia leave.

Shen Ping stood silently. The Foundation Establishment banquet was set for next month. In other words, in mid-April. The location was Qingyang Lake. At that time, the True Treasure Pavilion would use a flying ship to accommodate the cultivators partic.i.p.ating in the banquet.

The commotion was a little loud.

However, considering that Wu Shan was a Nascent Soul envoy, as well as other Golden Core Guests, late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Shen Ping still agreed. He had no choice. There were some feelings that could not be erased.

Just as Elder Peng had said, the celebration banquet could be canceled, but the Foundation Establishment banquet could not be avoided. If it was not held, it would be deliberate. As long as it was held, they had to invite some good friends, such as Shopkeeper Qu, Chong Ji, Shopkeeper Ding, and so on.

They were all members of the True Treasure Pavilion, so the other guest elders had to be invited.

“Talisman Master Shen. Congratulations on reaching Foundation Establishment!” The congratulations from behind interrupted Shen Ping’s thoughts. He turned around. Fellow Daoist Fu and his wife walked over quickly with warm smiles on their faces.

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Please come in.”

After a while, he sent Fellow Daoist Fu and his wife off. They were not on the invitation list this time. It was mainly because they did not have a deep relationship. Last year, they had visited for drinks several times, and the other party had asked him for a small favor.

“This is just a tempering of your Dao heart. The moment you become a core member of the True Treasure Pavilion, you have to adapt.” Pei Huoyu was standing beside Shen Ping. The natural curves under her light armor were eye-catching.

Shen Ping could not help but size her up a few times. Then, he said, “If Senior Pei did not prepare any other clothes when you came, I can get my wife and concubine to help buy one or two.”

Pei Huoyu said indifferently, “There’s no need. My light armor is a special Dharma treasure. It won’t be damaged even if I wear it for a hundred years. Fellow Daoist Shen, if you have the time, why don’t you spend more effort on studying the cultivation scriptures?”

Pei Huoyu had mentioned the scripture several times. Shen Ping could not help but ask, “Senior Pei, is this scripture cultivation very important?” He could not understand the scriptures. But it didn’t affect the improvement of his level in the Dao of Talismans.

Although the number of times he had dual cultivated with his wife had decreased recently, his experience in the Dao of Talismans was not far from breaking through to Level Three.

Compared to the Level Two talismans, the power of a Level Three talisman would undergo a transformation.

Pei Huoyu nodded gently. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you’ve absorbed the blood of the strange beast pattern. You should understand the mystical power of that blood. In the True Treasure Pavilion, what’s really precious is not the treasure vault, but some restricted resource items.

“The deeper you study the scriptures, the stronger you will be in a certain aspect, and the greater the chance of obtaining restricted items. This is a very rare opportunity. Even 1 can’t get it.”

Shen Ping was stunned. Just the treasury resources of the True Treasure Pavilion shocked him. In the end, this was not the most precious. However, the blood of the strange beast on the bronze disc was indeed very special.

He had only absorbed one drop. Not only had he stabilized his Foundation Establishment cultivation, but he had also directly advanced to the second level of Foundation Establishment, crossing decades of bitter cultivation.

He was about to ask further about the scripture.

A voice sounded out in his ears again. “Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t waste your talent. The joy of a Dao Companion can occasionally relax your mind. If you do it every day, it’s inevitable that you’ll fall into it.”

With that, Pei Huoyu turned around and returned to the quiet room. Shen Ping shook his head. He did not dare to agree with this.

You did not experience it. So how can you know the joy of it?

Golden Sun Sect.

As the sects of the Jin, Yue, Ze, and other 12 countries gradually infiltrated the Wei Kingdom and occupied the various markets, spirit stone mines, and rare minerals, the other sects besieged by the main sects retreated one after another. Be it the Immortal Dao sects or the Demonic Dao, they tacitly left the Golden Sun Market, the only market, to the Golden Sun Sect.

Until now, there were no longer any cultivators from other sects staying near their sects. Even demonic cultivators rarely wreaked havoc in the Golden Sun Workshop.

Although the Buddhist Sect successfully caught up to Ancestor Jinyang, they still let him escape in the end. There was no trace of him, but as long as he was alive, he had a chance of advancing to the Divine Transformation Realm in the future.

Therefore, after the Danxia Sect, the Acacia Faction, and the other sects learned of the outcome, they did not hesitate to retreat from the Golden Sun Workshop, leaving some respect for the Golden Sun Sect.

At this moment, in a spirit vein cave abode on the outer peak of the sect. Chen Shurong, the former owner of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion, received a message. The content was very simple.

“The guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion in Qingyang City, Talisman Master Shen, is about to hold a Foundation Establishment banquet in Qingyang Lake. He specially invited Fellow Daoist Chen to partic.i.p.ate. You can take our True Treasure Pavilion’s flying ship.”

After reading it, Chen Shurong held the communication talisman in silence. It had only been a few years since he left Cloud Mountain Parlour. The other party had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Moreover, from the content of this message, it did not seem to be an invitation personally written by Talisman Master Shen. Instead, it was an invitation issued by the True Treasure Pavilion.

The meaning behind this was completely different. Back then, when she knew that she had misjudged, she had tried many times to make up for her relationship. However, who knew that such a change would happen later?

It could only be said that the world was unpredictable.

“Master. Fellow Daoist Hong has come to visit.” A maid in an emerald green dress walked in and said respectfully.

Chen Shurong looked at her. Several years of cold and heat, and this maid had already transformed from a delicate age to maturity. However, her cultivation had only increased by one level.

Compared to Talisman Master Shen back then, the difference was like the difference between clouds and mud.

“Qi’er. If you look back to when you met in the Spring Embroidery Pavilion, are you willing to become Talisman Master Shen’s concubine?” For some reason, Chen Shurong suddenly wanted to ask this question.

Xiao Qi’er was stunned. Talisman Master Shen. This name was already buried in the depths of her memory. She even thought that the other party might have died in Cloud Mountain Parlour. Yet, she heard it again.

Those dusty memories were as vivid as yesterday. In the end, it stopped at the pot of Fire Spirit Wine in the backyard. If she were to turn back time, how would she choose?

Xiao Qi’er seemed to be sitting in the backyard hall of the Spring Embroidery Pavilion again, facing Talisman Master Shen’s question. She took a deep breath. She said slowly, “Qi’er is willing.”

Some things could only be understood as precious after experiencing and settling down. Chen Shurong smiled. However, her smile was very forced and bitter. “Too late. Talisman Master Shen has already built his foundation. I’m the one who delayed you.”

It was close to the middle of April.

Many high-level cultivators in Qingyang City walked around more and more frequently, especially the Danxia Sect and the Acacia Faction. Foundation Establishment cultivators kept coming and going from the True Treasure Pavilion, wanting to fight for a qualification.

In the past, the Wei Kingdom’s True Treasure Pavilion was only a main station. Compared to the sects of the twelve countries, they did not have much of an advantage. However, with the appearance of the special-cla.s.s guest elder, the situation changed greatly.

The most direct change was that the auction resources and items transported from the Northern Rock Marsh Region every three months were 30% more than before. Moreover, most of these 30% were Foundation Establishment and Golden Core treasures. The remaining special medicinal pills such as the Snow Ganoderma Pill and the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment had also increased greatly.

Just this alone made the other sects pay more attention to the cooperation with the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion.

In the room in the backyard, Elder Peng revealed a helpless expression. Since Guest Elder Shen did not want to make it too grand, he could only act as ruthless.

“Elder Peng. The deacons and elders of the Jin Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, and other headquarters have arrived. In addition, the domain-level station in the Northern Rock Marsh Region has also sent someone over. They’re meeting the Lord Wu Shan in Tongquan Alley.” Deacon Xia walked in and hurriedly reported.

Elder Peng’s expression changed slightly. “What about the other domains? No one came, right? There’s also the cave…”

“No.”

“That’s good.” Elder Peng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If someone from the Cave Division came, the Foundation Establishment banquet would have to be held grandly. At that time, it would inevitably arouse the displeasure of Guest Elder Shen. It was not easy for a person to appear in the Wei Kingdom. He did not want to cause trouble.

“Deacon Xia, there are still three days left. You must make all the necessary arrangements. Also, there is a mortal among Guest Elder Shen’s wife and concubines. We have to pay attention to this.” He reminded him seriously.

Deacon Xia nodded. “Elder Peng, the Mystic Immortal Pavilion has already responded. Fairy Cai Shang will perform two solo dances under the moon and other techniques will be displayed one by one. However, the Mystic Immortal Pavilion hopes to give Fairy Cai Shang a chance to meet Guest Shen alone after the banquet ends.”

Elder Peng sipped his spiritual tea and could not help but sneer. “The Mystic Immortal Pavilion is a domain-level faction after all. Now, he even used such a method of the Acacia Faction. Give her five minutes on account of the solo dance under the moon..”
