His gaze landed on the virtual frame in front of him, which was gold and silver.
Shen Ping was silent. Although his Talisman Dao and Spiritual Root were about to break through, once he stepped into the next level, he would need to accumulate more.
His wife, Wang Yun, was a mortal. Even if she consumed all kinds of rare treasures to increase the strength of her body, it was still very difficult for her to withstand multiple dual cultivation sessions every day like before.
Bai Yuying was only slightly stronger. If she used the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment that had been diluted many times, it would be difficult to continue after one time. Luo Qing was the same as well. Her bloodline was special, but her cultivation was too low.
After putting it away, he sighed in his heart. As his strength increased, these were unavoidable. However, now that they lived in Tongquan Alley, in such a cultivation environment with abundant spiritual energy, their cultivation would increase much faster.
“In a few days, the special-class guest elder’s annual benefits and contributions will be distributed. 1 wonder how much there will be. 1 hope I can afford the cultivation technique and the Begonia Drunken Coral Fish Wine.”
He walked out of the quiet room of the Spirit Pool. Shen Ping suppressed his chaotic thoughts and accompanied his wife and concubine. Then, he went to the cubicle to calm down and make talismans.
In the quiet pavilion of the Mystic Immortal Pavilion, Fairy Cai Shang looked at the figure in front of her and said unwillingly, “Guest Elder Shen didn’t give me a chance to be alone. 1 can’t use some of my unique methods at all.”
The Pavilion Master was silent. Things were indeed unexpected. He originally thought that it would be easy for Fairy Cai Shang to meet the guest elder with her solo dance under the moon and her looks and figure. In the end, the other party did not see her.
“Pavilion Master, give me another chance. As long as 1 can see Guest Elder Shen, I’ll definitely be able to make friends.” Fairy Cai Shang bowed.
The Pavilion Master shook his head. “The Foundation Establishment Banquet is the best opportunity. Once you miss it, it won’t be easy to find it again. With his status as a special-class guest elder, there will be more and more people who want to befriend him. We can only wait for the opportunity. By the way, you live in Huiquan Alley, right?”
Fairy Cai Shang was stunned for a moment before saying, “Pavilion Master, are you saying that the special-class guest elder is also in Huiquan Alley?”
“That’s right. This is an opportunity. You have to hurry up. I’m afraid that Guest Elder Shen won’t stay in Huiquan Alley for long.”
Fairy Cai Shang nodded repeatedly. “Pavilion Master. 1 still don’t know what
Guest Elder Shen looks like. I wasn’t distracted when 1 danced.”
The Pavilion Master smiled faintly and said, “It seems that your dance skills have improved a lot.” As he spoke, he waved his hand. The jade slip landed in Fairy Cai Shang’s hand. “1 hope to hear good news from you soon.” As his voice fell, the figure of the Pavilion Master disappeared.
Fairy Cai Shang’s divine sense permeated the jade slip. When she saw it, her entire body froze. “Why is it him!!”
Several days passed.
In the backyard of the True Treasure Pavilion, the Nascent Soul envoy of the headquarters, Wushan, was about to leave. The reason why the other party could stay in the Wei Kingdom for a while was entirely because of Shen Ping.
Before he left, Wu Shan handed over a jade token carved with a green pine boat. “Guest Elder Shen, from the headquarters to every region in the five continents and four seas, there is a flying ship specially responsible for transportation. If Guest Elder Shen wants to go to the headquarters, you can contact me through the jade token. At that time, you can rush over immediately without applying for reassignment. It will save a lot of time.”
Shen Ping accepted the jade token and bowed. “Lord Wu Shan, I’ve troubled you this time.”
A smile appeared on Wu Shan’s face. “I’m just bored. Guest Elder Shen, you don’t have to take it to heart. The Wei Kingdom is still too small. Guest Elder Shen’s future is in the Zhongsheng Continent!”
As soon as he finished speaking, light flashed. Wu Shan had already left. Elder Peng and Deacon Xia heaved a sigh of relief. With such an envoy from the headquarters living in Qingyang City, the pressure on them was still very great.
“Guest Elder Shen, are you used to living in Tongquan Alley?”
“It’s okay.”
“Deacon Xia and 1 both live in Tongquan Alley. If you have time in the future, you can come over for a small gathering.”
They chatted casually before Elder Peng and Deacon Xia left the True Treasure Pavilion. Fifteen years was still a long time. They were not in a hurry to befriend him now.
Shen Ping did not mind. He arrived at the contribution room on the second floor. He took out the core member jade token.
Buzz!
The entire contribution room shone with a strange light.
“D-level core member, Shen Ping. All your current requirements will be included in the core authority of the True Treasure Pavilion. One can only check if his identity is higher than your authority.” A dignified voice sounded. Soon, the light slowly disappeared. The contribution room returned to calm.
“Check the list of resources and items sent to the Wei Kingdom’s headquarters next month.” Shen Ping said.
His core member authority had very high authority and could see many things. At the same time, he could also use the flying ships at the various stations of the True Treasure Pavilion. Moreover, if he wanted to buy something from the treasure vault, he only needed to buy it. Even if the main station, the Northern Rock Marsh Region, or even the Fire Toad Cave Division, which was a level higher, did not have it, the headquarters would send flying ships over.
“Foundation Establishment Pill, top-grade Dharma artifact, Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment.”
Looking at the large number of items that appeared in his divine sense, he could not help but sigh with emotion.
Previously, even with the qualification jade token, there were restrictions on buying resources and items. Now, as a core member, he could directly enjoy Foundation Establishment Pills, Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment, Snow Ganoderma Pills, Dharma artifacts, and so on.
The gap between them was like a chasm.
A moment later, Shen Ping came to the private room. He had just sat down when an external female cultivator entered. “Guest Elder Shen, Deacon Xia specially instructed that if you want to taste tea in the private room, you can change to good spiritual tea.”
This female cultivator was beautiful. Her eyes were like autumn water, with a hint of weakness. She placed the spirit tea on the table, but her hand trembled and she accidentally fell. Shen Ping reacted extremely quickly and reached out to grab the teacup. The female cultivator actually knelt on the ground and said with a terrified expression, “Guest Elder Shen, I was nervous for a moment. 1 hope you can understand.”
She lowered her head, not daring to look up. Shen Ping placed the teacup on the table and turned around. Just as he was about to comfort her, he saw the fairness under the female cultivator’s collar.
It was magnificent. It stood tall and graceful. In a daze, he seemed to have understood something and immediately waved his hand. “You can leave.”
This external female cultivator raised her autumn watery eyes and said gently, “Guest Elder Shen, I’m afraid you can’t drink the spirit tea on the table anymore. 1 want to invite you to try another spirit tea.” She bowed her head again. The material of her collar was even more open. There were tea leaves on the flat surface of the waves.
“Get down!” Shen Ping retracted his gaze and said calmly. The female cultivator was unwilling, but she still left the private room. “She has a good figure. But she’s just a little impatient.” He pondered for a while and thought to himself that he had to come less in the future. How could he bear it if he came a few more times?
Suddenly, the communication talisman vibrated slightly. He took it out and took a look. He frowned.
It was Matchmaker Ceng.
He hesitated but still listened.

Congratulations, Talisman Master Shen, for becoming a special-class guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion. Back then, 1 felt that Talisman Master Shen was a cultivator with great fortune. Now, it’s true.”
Matchmaker Ceng said a lot of flattery. In the end, she said, “Recently, there have been many female cultivators in Spring Garden who want to find a Dao companion who can accompany you for life. There’s no lack of conditions that satisfy Talisman Master Shen’s requirements last time. Moreover, they’re all obedient and sensible and won’t cause trouble. If you have the time, Talisman Master Shen can come to Spring Garden. 1 guarantee that you’ll be satisfied.
“In addition, regarding the opportunity for mortals to cultivate, 1 didn’t consider it well last time. However, my Spring Garden has always been dedicated to letting mortals cultivate. It’s just that the probability of success is low at the moment. Talisman Master Shen, don’t worry. If I succeed in the future, 1 will definitely take priority over your wife.”
Shen Ping put away the communication talisman expressionlessly. He sneered in his heart. The opportunity that Matchmaker Ceng had mentioned last time was indeed a trap. Fortunately, he did not agree. Otherwise, if his wife, Wang Yun, tried, she might have already died.
However, this time, he could hear a hint of flattery in Matchmaker Ceng’s attitude. Although he had interacted with her several times before and the other party was very enthusiastic, it was only out of polite professional enthusiasm.
However, it was clearly different this time.

To go or not to go.” He hesitated. Although he did not want to deal with Spring Garden anymore, the other party’s last sentence still moved him.
Mortals could not cultivate. However, Spring Garden seemed to have other methods. He closed his eyes. Shen Ping pondered for a long time. In the end, he decided to go and test the waters.
With Pei Huoyu around, even if Spring Garden had other motives, as long as he was careful, at least there would not be any problems with his safety.
Two days later, Shen Ping stood in front of Spring Garden.
“Oh, Talisman Master Shen, you’re finally here.” Matchmaker Ceng’s face was filled with the smell of cosmetics. She swayed her waist and said enthusiastically, “Please come in.” As she spoke, she glanced at Pei Huoyu, who was beside Shen Ping, and understood.
He stepped across the threshold. Shen Ping saw that there was no cultivator in front of the counter. The corners of his eyes revealed confusion, but he did not ask. Instead, he followed Matchmaker Ceng to the private room.
Pei Huoyu did not go upstairs. Instead, she sat on the bench in front of the counter and waited.
Matchmaker Ceng poured a cup of spirit tea and said with a smile, “Talisman Master Shen, you’re now a special-class guest elder of True Treasure Pavilion. You’re a distinguished guest even in my Spring Garden. If you have any needs, feel free to tell me.”
Shen Ping did not stand on ceremony with Matchmaker Ceng and asked bluntly, “How do mortals cultivate?”
