A low voice echoed in the private room.
The smile on Matchmaker Ceng’s face gradually faded.
She was not in a hurry to respond. Instead, she stared at Shen Ping and asked, “In the eyes of cultivators, mortals are like ants. Not to mention wives and concubines, even direct bloodlines will not give them cultivation resources. Although Wang Yun is Talisman Master Shen’s wife, she is ultimately a mortal without spiritual roots. With Talisman Master Shen’s current Foundation Establishment cultivation and the status of a special-class guest elder, you can choose any Foundation Establishment Dao companion. So why is Talisman Master Shen so obsessed with this?”
Shen Ping picked up the spirit tea and took a sip. He said calmly, “When I was in Red Willow Alley of Cloud Mountain Parlour, Wang Yun was my wife. No matter how high my cultivation level is in the future and what status I have, she will always be my wife.”
Matchmaker Ceng smiled again. “This is what 1 admire about Talisman Master Shen. The opportunity 1 mentioned last time was also out of admiration for Talisman Master Shen. That time, there was only one spot. Unfortunately, Talisman Master Shen did not agree.
“Maybe that’s a good thing. Although my Spring Garden has studied this aspect, the price to let mortals cultivate is too high. Moreover, it’s extremely dangerous. There’s a possibility of dying at any time. If Talisman Master Shen really agreed last time, I can’t guarantee that your wife will still be alive.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Ping’s voice became cold. “Fellow Daoist Ceng, we’ve worked together several times and can be considered acquaintances. Why did you suggest such a thing that you’re not confident in? Do you think I’m easy to bully?!”
Matchmaker Ceng hurriedly bowed and apologized. “Talisman Master Shen, calm down. 1 didn’t consider it well last time. Please forgive me. 1 invited you here this time to make up for it. You can choose a Dao companion at the Foundation Establishment Realm. As long as the other party is willing, my Spring Garden won’t charge any fees.”
Shen Ping subconsciously said, “Pseudo Core are also at the Foundation Establishment level.”
Matchmaker Ceng said confidently, “Of course.”
“It seems that Fellow Daoist Ceng’s cultivation is not the only thing that has increased.”
“This is all thanks to Talisman Master Shen.”
Shen Ping seemed to be enlightened. Then, he shook his head and said, “I’m not here just for the matter of Dao companions.”
Matchmaker Ceng sat on the chair again and said with a smile, “Mortals can’t cultivate, but if a mortal’s bloodline and foundation have been specially modified and they have cultivation aptitude, they can naturally step into cultivation.”
“Transplant spiritual roots?” Shen Ping frowned. “The True Treasure Pavilion has such a method, but the price is too high. Moreover, there will be many troubles in the future. My wife can’t afford to wait. If that’s what Fellow Daoist Ceng is talking about, forget it.” He was rather disappointed.
Matchmaker Ceng smiled faintly. “The True Treasure Pavilion doesn’t even take a few more glances at ordinary cultivators, so how can they waste resources on mortals? However, our Spring Garden is different. We are dedicated to letting mortals cultivate. Our methods are not something the True Treasure Pavilion can compare to.
“Once the so-called bloodline and bone structure modification is completed in the future, it will completely change the cultivation world.”
Shen Ping:”…”
He silently finished the spirit tea. Then, he stood up and bade farewell. However, just as he walked out of the private room, Matchmaker Ceng hurriedly caught up and handed over a jade slip. “There are more than ten Foundation Establishment female cultivators in the jade slip. Their appearances, figures, and other information are all recorded here. Talisman Master Shen, you can take a closer look when you go back.” She continued, “As for Talisman Master Shen’s wife’s cultivation, don’t worry. There will be results in less than half a year.”
On the way back to Tongquan Alley, Shen Ping was silent. If Spring Garden could not resolve his wife’s cultivation problem, he could only wait until his cultivation level was high in the future and use the True Treasure Pavilion’s method of grafting spiritual roots. Although this method was troublesome and the subsequent cultivation would be abnormally difficult, he could still extend her lifespan.
How long would he accompany her in the future? He could only do his best and leave it to fate. The only thing he hoped for now was for his wife to wait until that day.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the small courtyard, Pei Huoyu suddenly said, “Spring Garden is not simple.” Shen Ping stopped in his tracks and looked sideways at Pei Huoyu. She continued, “Spring Garden is the same as the True Treasure Pavilion. Its power is spread across the five continents and four seas. The difference is that Spring Garden’s methods are despicable and not the way of cultivators of our generation.”
When he heard that, Shen Ping could not help but say, “Has Senior Pei heard that Spring Garden can allow mortals to cultivate?”
Pei Huoyu came from the Zhongsheng Continent and was extremely knowledgeable. If she had never heard of such a thing, then Matchmaker Ceng’s words were completely unbelievable.
Pei Huoyu glanced at Shen Ping. “Fellow Daoist Shen, do you want your wife to cultivate?”
“Yes.”
“Although Spring Garden is despicable, they have always kept their promises. You can rest assured about that. However, the price of mortal cultivation is extremely high. Even my True Treasure Pavilion can only graft spiritual roots at the Nascent Soul Realm. Not only will it consume resources, it will only make it difficult for mortals to cultivate in the end. Once their lifespan is over, it will only increase their worries.” She did not say anything else and walked straight into the quiet room in the small courtyard.
On the other hand, Shen Ping looked happy. Previously, he had thought that Matchmaker Ceng was bragging. He had never thought that what she said was actually true? Of course, it might be slightly exaggerated. However, it should not be wrong to modify mortals’ bloodlines and bones to cultivate.
“Half a year!” He could not help but feel excited. If he could solve his wife’s cultivation problem, the greatest worry in his heart would disappear.
No matter what happened in the future, at the very least, he could spend a hundred years with his wife and concubines.
That was enough!
Late at night, the wide bedroom and bed swayed. The mixed smell of the diluted Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment filled the air. Be it Bai Yuying or Luo Qing, they gradually fell asleep in the completely immersed dual cultivation. White and blue undergarment crumpled into a ball.
Shen Ping rested for a while. Then, his gaze landed on Wang Yun. She looked apologetic. “It’s all Yun’er’s fault for being useless and not being able to let you have your fill.”
In the past days and nights, she was the first. But in the past month, Shen Ping took care of Bai Yuying and Luo Qing first. In response, Wang Yun blamed herself deeply. Ever since her husband broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, her mortal physique could not withstand too many movements.
She had actually expected this. After all, as her husband’s cultivation increased day by day, the gap between the immortal and mortal worlds would increase like a chasm.
Shen Ping did not say anything. He pulled open his wife’s pink undergarment and sank his waist. He opened the virtual panel. Looking at the shining golden light, his movements were light and slow.
Twenty minutes passed, his wife’s face flushed red, and her skin was moist and bright. She only recovered after dozens of breaths. After resting for a while, Wang Yun said faintly, “Husband, I want to use the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment.”
She had no regrets even if she died, she thought to herself. Shen Ping looked at Wang Yun’s serious expression and sighed in his heart. Luo Qing and Bai Yuying could barely withstand the diluted medicinal power of the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment.
If Wang Yun used the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment, there was only one outcome. Although he knew that his wife had been a little depressed recently, he did not expect it to be so serious. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, “Yun’er, when you step into cultivation in the future, I will definitely let you experience the wonders of the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment.”
Wang Yun did not react for a moment. Until she felt warmth, her body trembled slightly as she looked up and said, “What did you just say?”
“I said, wait until you step into cultivation, you can use the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment.” Shen Ping said word by word.
Wang Yun was shocked. She bit her lower lip and shook her head. “How can mortals cultivate? Husband…”
Shen Ping interrupted, “Yun’er, ever since you married me, when have 1 ever lied to you? You were also at the Foundation Establishment Banquet. The hall was filled with Golden Cores, Foundation Establishment, and even Nascent Soul cultivators. How can such a scene be achieved by ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators?
“And this Tongquan Alley. You always know that I’m cautious and rarely do anything eye-catching. But now,” He looked at Wang Yun and said in a rare gentle voice, “The moment 1 sent you on the flying ship at Cloud Mountain Parlour back then, 1 already understood what life would be without your company.”
Speaking of this, Shen Ping grabbed his wife’s wrist and placed it on his left chest. “In here, you’re irreplaceable. Therefore, there are some things that 1 would rather take the risk to do.”
His voice landed in Wang Yun’s ears. It was like a heavy hammer. She stared blankly at Shen Ping. The scenes of accompany appeared in front of her. She could feel his heartbeat in her palm.
Tears rolled down her face.
So, she was actually so important to her husband. She came back to her senses. Tears flowed like a spring. She looked up as if she had returned to the initial scene.
If only life was as it was when they first met.
At this moment, Wang Yun smiled. Her smile bloomed like a peony. “Husband, mortals can also cultivate.”
When her firm voice fell, the virtual frame’s deep golden color rumbled. It lasted for a long time. Finally, an incomparably luxurious purple color surged from the depths. In an instant, the entire virtual interface was completely submerged in purple.
Amidst the purple light, the first virtual frame suddenly condensed into a purple crown.
It overshadowed the fragrance of the crowd..
