Chapter 66: Becoming a Guest

True Treasure Pavilion.

Shen Ping stepped across the threshold. He saw Mu Jin waiting in a waist-length white dress. Their eyes intertwined, and her sweet smile bloomed. "Talisman Master Shen, follow me." As she spoke, she turned around and walked forward. The pink belt around her waist fluttered.

Shen Ping followed closely with a serious expression. He came to the backyard hall. Waves of spiritual pressure surged in his face.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

He suppressed the slightly fluctuating spiritual energy in his body and walked into the hall.

Shopkeeper Ding smiled and said, "Talisman Master Shen, you've broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement. According to the previous contract, you can obtain the guest wooden token of the True Treasure Pavilion."

He turned around and said respectfully, "These three are the Foundation Establishment Guests of the True Treasure Pavilion. They are Senior Cui, Senior Ruan, and Senior Luo." Shen Ping hurriedly bowed respectfully. After that, he said again, "Thank you for guiding me in the previous assessment."

Talisman Master Cui, who was sitting on the right and had white hair and beard, stroked his beard and said, "Talisman Master Shen, if you can break through to the late stage of Qi Refinement in such a short period of time, I believe that the hope of building your foundation before the age of 60 is still very high. At that time, you and I will be Fellow Daoists. There's no need to be so respectful."

Senior Luo, who had fat on the left side of his face, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Cui is right. As guests of the True Treasure Pavilion, we should take care of each other in the future."

Talisman Master Ruan, who was in the middle, had the thickest aura. He deliberately restrained himself and walked forward. With a solemn expression, he handed over a wooden token carved with sword-shaped words. "Talisman Master Shen, with this wooden token, you will be a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion in the future.

While enjoying the treatment and resources of the True Treasure Pavilion, you have to remember your responsibility."

Shen Ping nodded heavily and took the guest wooden token with both hands.

"Congratulations, Guest Elder Shen." Shopkeeper Ding cupped his hands and smiled.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to relax a lot.

Talisman Master Cui chuckled and said, "Most of the people who can become a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion are Foundation Establishment cultivators. It's really rare for Guest Elder Shen to obtain a guest elder's wooden token at the late stage of Qi Refinement."

A smile appeared on Talisman Master Ruan's face. "Guest Elder Shen's Talisman Daoism is indeed not low."

Senior Luo nodded and teased, "Let's not praise each other anymore. If we continue, Guest Elder Shen won't be able to stand."

After Shen Ping thanked him respectfully, he turned around and left. He walked to the backyard. He felt comfortable all over. When he looked up and saw a beautiful figure in front of him, he was slightly stunned.

"Talisman Master Shen, why don't you take a seat in the private room? Since you've become a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion, I believe there are many things you need to understand."

A burnt smell spread out from the wooden window of house No. 1.

Shen Ping looked up and noticed that Alchemist Feng's face was filled with loneliness. Recently, Alchemist Feng rarely went out and stayed in the house to refine pills, as if he wanted to break through to a high-level alchemist.

"Talisman Master Shen... Eh, you've broken through to the late stage of Qi Refinement? Congratulations! Sigh, I don't have Talisman Master Shen's luck. I originally planned to refine high-level medicinal pills in one go, but unfortunately, I failed consecutively. If I still can't advance, I really have no hope of building my foundation in this life." Alchemist Feng sighed deeply.

He was even older than Shen Ping. Although he had long reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement, the cultivation time at the late stage of Qi Refinement would become longer and longer. When he reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he needed to polish his spiritual energy to be round and thick to prepare for the foundation.

Shen Ping understood Alchemist Feng very well. He comforted him, "Alchemist Feng, don't be anxious..."

He was halfway through his sentence when the wooden window not far away was pushed open. Mu Yushuang smiled and mocked, "Fellow Daoist Feng, I've already said that you should learn from Talisman Master Shen and marry to enjoy yourself. Perhaps you can break through to become a high-level Alchemy Master."

This time, Alchemist Feng did not refute. He chuckled and said, "Perhaps."

When Mu Yushuang saw this, she pursed her lips and ignored him. Instead, she looked at Shen Ping. "Talisman Master Shen, come to my room and sit for a while. I've brewed spirit tea and want you to taste it carefully. I guarantee that you'll have an endless aftertaste."

Shen Ping cupped his hands and said that he still had something to do. Then, he quickly returned to the house with Yu Yan.

Alchemist Feng hesitated. "How has Fellow Daoist Mu been recently?"

"Why? Are you thinking of hitting on me now? It's too late!"

Bang!

Mu Yushuang closed the wooden window.

...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

As the weather gradually became hot, Cloud Mountain Parlour seemed to be restless.

In particular, the number of demonic cultivators in the Chen Market at the edge of the Cloud Mountain Swamp gradually increased. Faced with this situation, a large number of rogue cultivators began to run towards the Cloud Mountain Parlour. They did not dare to continue staying in the Chen Market.

The Chen family had no choice but to increase the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the market. They wanted to stabilize the rogue cultivators, but they could not suppress them. In the end, they had a conflict with the demonic cultivators and fought a huge battle. There was no follow-up.

When Shen Ping heard Yu Yan mention this, he could only shake his head repeatedly. The Chen family was a cultivation family of the Golden Sun Sect. If the Golden Sun Sect wanted to restrain the Luosha Demonic Valley, they would have done so long ago.

"I wonder if this situation will spread to Cloud Mountain Parlour..."
