South City.
It was still that inconspicuous shop. However, the words on it were exceptionally eye-catching—Spring Garden.
Shen Ping stood at the door. The wind blew. The wide sleeves on his body fluttered. He looked at the plaque. In his eyes, the ordinary words were as heavy as a mountain.
“Fellow Daoist, you’re welcome to come again.”
Hearing the voice, Shen Ping’s gaze moved down and he looked at the figure in the pink dress who had personally sent the cultivator away. He was stunned.
The embroidered pink dress was also stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses. A standard warm smile appeared on her beautiful face as she walked forward and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, no, it’s Senior Shen. Welcome to Spring Garden!”
They stepped into the shop. They arrived at the private room on the second floor. Shen Ping looked at the beautiful figure he had once admired and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Fellow Daoist Su, long time no see.”
Back when they left the Cloud Mountain Swamp, they rode the purple flying ship together. He originally thought that it was a farewell. He did not expect to see Fellow Daoist Su from Cloud Mountain Parlour’s Red Willow Alley again in Qingyang City and Spring Garden.
Matchmaker Su, who was wearing a pink dress, smiled and said, “It’s rare for Senior Shen to still remember me. This is a huge honor. Now that you’ve successfully built your foundation, you have to take care of me in the future.”
Shen Ping was not used to the woman’s tone. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he sat down and tasted the spiritual tea carefully. After taking a few sips, he continued, “Fellow Daoist Su, in that case, you’ll be managing this shop from now on.”
Matchmaker Su shook her head. “I’m only temporarily transferred here to help. It’s still unknown what will happen in the future.”
Shen Ping was silent for a moment. “Fellow Daoist Su, go and tell Fellow Daoist Ceng that I’m here.”
“Yes, Senior Shen.
A moment later, the familiar choking smell of cosmetics wafted over. Matchmaker Ceng walked into the private room with a swaying waist. “Talisman Master Shen, you came very quickly. I was taking a nap in the backyard.”
As she spoke, she sat down and looked at Fellow Daoist Su. The latter bowed and left.
Matchmaker Ceng placed her arm on the table. “How is it, Talisman Master Shen? 1 specially transferred this Fellow Daoist Su from other places. Her figure and appearance are not bad. As long as you nod, you can take her away later.”
Shen Ping’s voice turned colder. “She’s from Red Willow Alley. I’ve only seen her a few times. Fellow Daoist Ceng, do you think I’m too sentimental?”
Matchmaker Ceng smiled and shook her head. “Talisman Master Shen, don’t be angry. No matter what, Fellow Daoist Su is from Red Willow Alley and has met you a few times. If I didn’t use your name, I’m afraid it would be difficult to transfer her here.”
Shen Ping frowned.
Matchmaker Ceng said meaningfully, “In my Spring Garden, people who are useless can’t stay. Fellow Daoist Su is only useful here. Of course, if Talisman Master Shen doesn’t want to see the familiar figure from the past, I’ll send her away another day. However, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see her again in the future.”
Shen Ping stared at Matchmaker Ceng. “Fellow Daoist Ceng, do you mean that I have to have her?”
“I don’t have that intention. If Talisman Master Shen doesn’t want to force it, I can guarantee that this shop will be run by Fellow Daoist Su in the future.” Matchmaker Ceng hurriedly said.
Shen Ping raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, “If Fellow Daoist Su runs this shop, what about you?”
Matchmaker Ceng’s smile widened. “Talisman Master Shen has a noble status. I will naturally be in charge of receiving you in the future.”
Shen Ping picked up the spiritual tea and finished it in one go. “Fellow Daoist Ceng, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first!”
“Wait. Talisman Master Shen, don’t be anxious.” Matchmaker Ceng hurriedly called out to Shen Ping, “I invited you over this time mainly because I have a reminder. In a few years, this area of the Wei Kingdom might turn into a sea of blood. If Talisman Master Shen has other places to go, you can leave as soon as possible.”
Shen Ping’s heart tightened, but he said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Ceng, are you joking? This Wei Kingdom has existed for an unknown period of time. How could it have turned into a sea of blood?”
Matchmaker Ceng smiled and said, “Talisman Master Shen, back at the Cloud Mountain Parlour, did you think that the Golden Sun Sect’s Grand Elder wanted to sacrifice the Cloud Mountain Swamp? Recently, you should have heard that there are demonic cultivators wreaking havoc in the other markets of the Wei Kingdom, right?”
Shen Ping’s expression darkened. “That’s true.”
“According to the information obtained by my Spring Garden, the Golden Sun Sect’s Supreme Elder has already broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm. He will return to the Wei Kingdom in a few years. With Ancestor Jinyang’s temperament, in order to break through in cultivation technique strength, he will definitely sacrifice the entire Wei Kingdom! Once it’s really implemented, it’ll be too late to leave.” Matchmaker Ceng vowed.
When Shen Ping heard this, not only did he not panic, but he also laughed. “Even if what Fellow Daoist Ceng said is the truth, it’s only a guess. The Golden Sun Sect has stood in the Wei Kingdom for more than a thousand years. If Ancestor Jinyang breaks through to the Divine Transformation Realm and returns, it’s more likely that he will suppress the other sects and make the Golden Sun Sect more glorious in this area. As for the blood sacrifice to the Wei Kingdom… it’s too exaggerated.”
Matchmaker Ceng shook her head. “Regardless of whether it will happen or not, Talisman Master Shen doesn’t want to be in danger again, right? The Wei Kingdom is a place of trouble after all. Moreover, with Talisman Master Shen’s status, you will have to leave this place eventually. The earlier you leave, the less danger you will be in.”
Shen Ping understood what Matchmaker Ceng meant. He did not continue this topic and said bluntly, “Fellow Daoist Ceng, is there any other problem with my wife’s bloodline?”
Matchmaker Ceng was just reminding him. Seeing Shen Ping mention Wang Yun, a warm smile returned to her face. “Rest assured, Talisman Master Shen. Your wife’s bloodline modification was very successful. However, such cultivation will be limited by her bloodline in the future. Talisman Master Shen, you have to be mentally prepared for this.”
Shen Ping could not help but ask, “What does it mean to be limited by your bloodline?”
“Your wife was originally a mortal. This time, her bloodline has changed to another type of demon blood. Then, the limit of the demon blood is the limit of your wife’s cultivation. This is a bloodline shackle that can’t be changed.”
On the way back to Tongquan Alley, Shen Ping lowered his eyebrows and pondered. There was no need to investigate the shackles of his wife’s bloodline for the time being. He had checked in the core jade pendant treasury. The Heavenly Fire Silver Fox Bloodline was a high-level demon beast. The upper limit of the bloodline was not low.
On the other hand, the matter of Ancestor Jinyang breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm was a problem. Although he did not think that the Golden Sun Sect’s Supreme Elder would sacrifice the Wei Kingdom, it did not mean that this would not happen.
Even if there was only a slight possibility, he had to deal with it seriously. Just as Matchmaker Ceng had said, he definitely did not want to experience the danger of the Cloud Mountain Swamp again.
If he had not chosen the purple flying ship and collided with the blood-colored array, he would have been reduced to ashes. It could be said that he had a trace of luck to be able to leave safely that time.
Shen Ping did not think that he would still have such luck if he was in such a dangerous situation again.
“Planning ahead. I have to make some preparations.” Thinking of this, he looked up at Pei Huoyu and asked, “Senior Pei, do we have to wait 15 years to go to the headquarters?”
Pei Huoyu was stunned for a moment before nodding. “That’s right. The headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion is very special. As a new core member, you can’t enter the headquarters without a new evaluation.”
“What about the Zhongsheng Continent?”
“You can go.” Pei Huoyu hesitated and said, “The Zhongsheng Continent is the richest cultivation place in the five continents and four seas. However, the competition and killing are also very cruel. In the Wei Kingdom, no matter what happens, I can protect your safety. However, in the Zhongsheng Continent, even I can’t guarantee it.
“It’s a complicated situation. It’s fine if it’s just you. However, Fellow Daoist Shen, can you abandon your wife and concubines?”
When Shen Ping heard this, he thought to himself that he could not go to the Zhongsheng Continent for the time being. It seemed that he had to think about other things in the future. When the time came, he could ask Perfected Qiu about other places.
He returned to the small courtyard. His cultivation life returned to normal. In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
The large-scale auction of the True Treasure Pavilion had arrived. On this day, it was not yet seven in the morning when a large number of high-level cultivators stepped through the threshold of the True Treasure Pavilion one after another and entered the underground auction hall through the room in the backyard.
Only Foundation Establishment Cultivators and above were qualified to participate in such a grand event. As a core member, Shen Ping could bring his wife and concubines in. He had already gotten them to dress up. After breakfast, he brought them to the True Treasure Pavilion..
