Chapter 169: Unchanged

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Mange Spirit Grass was a type of rare spiritual herb. Its grade was not low, but its uses and effects were relatively simple. Other than being able to focus and calm down, it was only left with a spice brocade bag to wear. Therefore, very few cultivators planted this spiritual herb.

Perfected Linhai was only planting this spiritual herb for show.

Hearing Elder Qi's words, Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and sent a message. “Elder Qi, I want to pick a few Mange Spirit Grass to make pollen, but that's Perfected Linhai's spiritual peak after all.”

Elder Qi's hearty laughter quickly sounded from the communication talisman. “That's easy. Every time the Mange Spirit Grass blooms, Perfected Linhai will invite some fellow Daoists in the Immortal City to take a look. Counting the days, there are only three to five days. If Guest Elder Shen is free, you can accompany me.”

Shen Ping hesitated for a moment before replying, “Elder Qi, I'm only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It's not appropriate for me to go on such an occasion. Therefore, can you help me pick a few stalks back?”

Elder Qi did not mind Shen Ping's tactful rejection. He still smiled and said,

“It's a small matter. Guest Elder Shen, wait for a few days.”

“Thank you, Elder Qi.”

After ending the communication, he looked at the words on the second page of the virtual interface. Shen Ping fell into deep thought.

The appearance of the Mange Spirit Grass made him realize that the wishes of his wives and concubines did not seem to be unchanging. If he could figure out the pattern, he might be able to further dig out the ability of the virtual interface.

Apart from that, he also realized that his understanding of the virtual interface had always been superficial. Even if he dual cultivated with his wives and concubines, he only vaguely knew some directions and did not try to dig too much.

Now that he understood this shortcoming, he had to make up for it as much as possible. After all, everything else outside might be rootless. Only the virtual interface… only belonged to him!

He put away his emotions.

Shen Ping continued to make talismans in boredom. In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

In the room in the backyard of True Treasure Pavilion, Elder Qi handed over an exquisite jade box and stroked his beard with a smile. “The Mange Spirit Grass that Guest Elder Shen wants is inside. It's just that Perfected Linhai is a little stingy. He actually only allowed me to pick three.”

Shen Ping opened the wooden box. The fragrance of flowers filled the air. He quickly cupped his hands and thanked him.

Elder Qi waved his hand and said casually, “It's just a small matter. There's no need to be so polite. In a few days, the last batch of flying ships from the Wei Kingdom will arrive. I'll prepare a small-scale banquet to welcome Elder Peng and the others.”

Shen Ping replied without thinking, “Elder Qi, just inform me when the time comes.”

It was late at night.

The sky in Linhai Immortal City darkened. In the talisman making room, Shen Ping's emotions gradually fluctuated. He simply stopped the talisman brush and took a deep breath to stabilize his mind. He took out an exquisite jade box and looked at the Mange Spirit Grass before slowly closing it.

He was going to take this surprise out at dinner. How would Yu Yan react? He did not know and did not want to guess.

But at this moment, Shen Ping was well aware that his heart was racing. He even felt an indescribable nervousness and apprehension that he had not felt for a long time. If it were Wang Yun and Bai Yuying, he might not have.

However, Yu Yan was different.

There was a different emotion hidden in his heart.

From Qingyang City to Linhai Immortal City, Shen Ping originally thought that this emotion was already very faint. However, until the moment he prepared a surprise for her, that emotion suddenly burst out from the bottom of his heart, and he could no longer suppress it.

They were always by his side, day after day, it was inevitable that he would feel sick of it. But when there was a hint of surprise in life, Shen Ping understood that emotion had always been in his heart.

Night fell.

His wife, Wang Yun,'s voice sounded outside the talisman making room.

Phew.

Ha.

Shen Ping took nine deep breaths in a row and walked out of the talisman making room. As usual, his wives and concubines sat around the dining table. Wang Yun and Luo Qing served the dishes one by one. The thin meat porridge emitted a fragrance and the fresh fragrance of spirit bamboo shoots. The dishes and roasted meat were also unique.

After sitting down, Shen Ping first tasted a mouthful of meat roll and could not help but praise, “Yun'er's culinary skills have already reached a high level. I think she can cultivate spirit chef skills in the future!”

Wang Yun smiled shyly and said gently, “Husband, as long as you think it suits your taste.”

“Don't wait. Eat.” He waved his hand. Shen Ping first picked up a piece of meat for Bai Yuying and added some vegetables to Luo Qing's jade bowl. Then, he habitually asked his wives and concubines about their current cultivation.

Wang Yun was still at the first level of Qi Refinement.

After Luo Qing's physique was resolved and she could withstand the Black Water Spirit Turtle bloodline, the effect of cultivating a water-element cultivation technique was not bad. In just a few years, she had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refinement and was catching up to Bai Yuying.

Mu Jin was still at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. As a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if Yin Honglian had a dual-element spiritual root, it would take a lot of time.

With sufficient resources for cultivation, his wives and concubines did not have to go out of the city to hunt demon beasts and accept employment missions to earn spirit stones. Their cultivation speed was not slow, but compared to Shen Ping, it was a little slow.

Then, they casually chatted about family matters. Only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding could be heard in the hall.

Life was so peaceful. However, in this dangerous cultivation world, it was probably the dream of countless cultivators to have such a life.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Ping was the first to break the silence. “Yu Yan, this is the jade box 1 prepared for you.” As he spoke with a smile, the exquisite jade box floated in front of Yu Yan with a push of his palm.

His wife and concubines subconsciously looked at the jade box. Yu Yan thought that it was some cultivation resource. She smiled and opened the jade box. In an instant, the fragrance of the Mange Spirit Grass spread.

Shen Ping's voice also sounded. “This is the Mange Spirit Grass. It has the effect of calming one's mind. Yu Yan, you've always liked to concoct pollen. The fragrance of flowers has been wafting in the city these few days, so I wanted to pick a few for you.”

Yu Yan was stunned for a moment. Her charming eyes were filled with surprise. Bai Yuying blinked curiously and couldn't help but ask, “Where did you pick the Mange Spirit Grass? Why don't we go together in a few days and pick more? The fragrance of the flowers is quite comfortable.”

Shen Ping shook his head and said with a smile, “In the entire Linhai Immortal City, only Perfected Linhai's spiritual peak has such MangeSpirit Grass.”

“All… Perfected Linhai, isn't that the Spirit Peak of the City Lord, a Nascent Soul cultivator? Husband, you…” Bai Yuying looked at Shen Ping in surprise.

His wife and concubines were moved one after another. It was probably very difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator to pick the Mange Spirit Grass on the spiritual peak, but their husband did so.

Tap.

The sound of water dripping onto the jade table suddenly sounded in the quiet hall. Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, and the others looked up. Tears had unknowingly flowed out of the corners of Yu Yan's eyes.

“Is it worth it?” She suddenly spoke. But her eyes were fixed on the exquisite jade box. It was as if it was not filled with Mange Spirit Grass, but the White Whisker Tree Ginseng. Back then, she was corroded by poisonous insects and did not have long to live. However, because of her insignificant life, Shen Ping took out an expensive White Whisker Tree Ginseng.

It had been nearly ten years. In order to allow her to concoct pollen for a bath, Shen Ping did not hesitate to obtain the Mange Spirit Grass from the spiritual peak of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Is it worth it?” Yu Yan looked up at the broad figure with teary eyes and asked again.

“As long as you like it, it's worth it.”

When this voice reached Yu Yan's ears, it was as firm as a mountain. Her tears could no longer stop flowing. They fell on the jade table with a crisp sound. They used to accompany each other one after another. Those scenes appeared in front of her.

Those moving words, those heartwarming words.

She thought that it was going to die with the years.

But now, this relationship has never changed.

“Fellow Daoist Shen!” Yu Yan cried. However, she slowly raised her hands and cupped her hands with an unprecedented serious expression.

Shen Ping smiled and cupped his hands. “Fellow Daoist Yu!”

The words 'Fellow Daoist' echoed for a long time. His wife and concubines looked at Yu Yan enviously and quickly left quietly. Only Shen Ping and Yu Yan were left in the hall. In a flash, their clothes were all gone. The collisions of the Dao techniques rose and fell.

After a while, the melodious melody reverberated. His wife and concubines stood in the courtyard and looked at each other. They smiled knowingly.

In the quiet room, Pei Huoyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, opened her eyes and looked at the hall. She frowned at first, then relaxed. “That's right. Looks like Fellow Daoist Shen isn't affected by that Talisman Dao genius at the headquarters.” She muttered and closed her eyes again.

A few days later, Pei Huoyu was speechless. She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the room. “It's been three days… When will it stop?!”

Another two days passed. Pei Huoyu expressionlessly blocked the entire quiet room.

At dawn the next day, the wife and concubines listened to the movements in the room while eating. Bai Yuying smiled charmingly and said, “Husband is too brave. However, Sister Yu Yan is also quite powerful. She can actually last so long.” She picked up the roasted meat and giggled. “I'm afraid the meat won't roll back after such a long time. I just don't know when we can do this.”

Wang Yun said gently, “Sister Ying'er, don't spout nonsense. Husband can't bear to let us curl up.”

“When you're deeply in love, you naturally curl up.”

“When Sister Yun'er's cultivation level is higher in the future, I believe you will be able to experience… It stopped!”

Before Bai Yuying could finish speaking, the commotion in the room that had lasted for several days finally disappeared. Wang Yun could not help but walk to the door of the hall and shout, “Husband, do you want to eat?”

“I'm not eating for now. Yun'er, make some beast bone tonic soup for me first..”
