Chapter 93: A Small Matter

In the private room, the fragrance of the spiritual tea filled the air.

Shopkeeper Ding had already left, but Shen Ping was still sitting on the wooden chair and thinking. In the past, his cultivation level was low and his level of contact was not high. He only knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill could increase the probability of building a foundation. Even if he failed, his life was rarely in danger.

Now that he had become a guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion and lived in a small courtyard in Huiquan Alley, these changes undoubtedly increased his status imperceptibly. The channels of information he could obtain had broadened. In the past, Shopkeeper Ding would not have revealed these Foundation Establishment treasures to him.

"Second-grade guest elder. I'll have to ask Shopkeeper Qu about the conditions for a Talisman Master to become a second-grade guest elder." He took a sip of tea. Shen Ping stood up and left.

Since his talent in the Dao of Talismans had spread to a small extent, it was necessary to strengthen it and stabilize his status so that he could come into contact with more levels and information.

He returned to the small courtyard.

His cultivation life returned to normal. However, apart from making talismans, he spent more time making second-stage puppets. Compared to talismans of the same level, the income of selling puppets was higher. It was just that it was more difficult to make.

Every Foundation Establishment treasure was relatively expensive. Although he had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he had to prepare for Foundation Establishment now. Moreover, the more treasures there were, the better. Even if he did not need them in the future, he could prepare them for Yu Yan.

A month passed just like that. He had lived in Qingyang City for half a year.

This morning, the sumptuous meal was finished.

Shen Ping felt energetic. He swept his gaze across his wife and concubines. They all had their own temperaments, especially after taking the Beauty Pill. Whether it was Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, or Yu Yan, their looks and skin were even more beautiful.

Speaking of the Beauty Pill, although this pill did not help one's cultivation at all, it was indeed extraordinary after consuming it. After swallowing it, even he felt much younger and more confident.

"Husband, we're going to set up the stall." Bai Yuying dragged Wang Yun and said something before following Yu Yan out of the hall.

During this period of time, his wife and concubines would set up a stall in South City in their spare time to sell the high-grade talismans he usually made after he was tired. There were also some mid-grade puppet toys. Although Yu Yan was very surprised to know that he could make puppets, she did not probe further.

After all, after interacting intimately, she knew that her husband had opportunities.

"Come back early tonight." He casually instructed them. In fact, even if he didn't say it, his wife and concubines would return before five in the evening. They definitely wouldn't delay too late.

Soon, only Shen Ping and Luo Qing were left in the hall.

"Husband," Shen Ping was about to get up and go to the quiet room to meditate for a while when Luo Qing suddenly said, "It's not that my physique can't be resolved. Last time, when the Golden Drunken Spirit Fish bumped into my arms, I remembered some things, including my bloodline physique."

She lowered her head and continued calmly, "If I want to resolve it, I have to consume a spirit wine brewed by a rare treasure every month. In the Ze Country, this rare treasure is called Begonia Drunken Coral Fish. It's very expensive."

"How expensive is it?"

He breathed a sigh of relief. It was still bearable.

North Spring Alley was actually not far from Huiquan Alley, but it took twenty minutes to set off from the True Treasure Pavilion. However, this was the first time Shopkeeper Qu was leading him, so he knew a lot of rules. It would be much more convenient for him to visit in the future.

Although Shopkeeper Qu had mentioned it last time, he had only let him visit on his own. But now, he had taken the initiative to invite him.

The change in attitude before and after should be because of the small gathering at Virtue Tower.

There were about ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered in the small courtyard of No. A27. After Shopkeeper Qu brought Shen Ping over, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators greeted him one after another. Clearly, they all knew Shopkeeper Qu.

"This is Talisman Master Shen. Although he is at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he is already a guest elder of our True Treasure Pavilion.

"This is Guest Elder Zhen." Shopkeeper Qu gave a simple introduction and said with a smile, "You're quite early. After Master Huo opens the furnace, he usually prays for blessings and washes. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until five."

The other cultivators only smiled. Everyone who came here often knew this, but sometimes, Master Huo would come out early. If he happened to be late, he would undoubtedly miss the Snow Ginseng Rain Dew Pill.

After that, they waited patiently.

It was not even five o'clock yet when two beautiful female cultivators walked out of the huge pill hut in the small courtyard. They wore pill robes that tied their waists. Their lines were plump and their outlines were majestic. There was a hint of shyness in their charm.

"Seniors, Master invites you."

As their voices fell, Cultivators like Shen Ping stepped into the small courtyard. He did not feel it when he stood at the door, but as soon as he entered the small courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of pills.

He followed Shopkeeper Qu into the pill hut. Instantly, there was a different universe inside. There was a clear pool of water in the hut. Inside the pool were elegantly decorated cubicles. From the outside, the cubicles could only accommodate two people. No one knew what they were used for.

In the quiet room on the other side of the pill hut, smoke curled up. The old man in a plain white robe raised his long eyebrows and swept them over. "A new Fellow Daoist is here. Do you know the rules?"

Shopkeeper Qu hurriedly said, "I've already told him the rules."

Master Huo smiled faintly. "So it was Fellow Daoist Qu who brought him here. Feel free to sit."

The two gorgeous female cultivators waved their hands. Futons embroidered with mandarin ducks appeared at the edge of the pool. He sat down cross-legged.

A jade plate suddenly appeared in the hands of these two female cultivators. Then, they placed it in front of Cultivator Shen Ping. On the jade plate was a bottle that contained the Snow Ganoderma Pill.

Shen Ping noticed Shopkeeper Qu from the corner of his eye.

Shopkeeper Qu took out the spirit stone and placed it on the jade plate. He sent a voice transmission, "Just do as I say."

Shen Ping nodded to himself. He originally thought that he needed to compete with so many cultivators. He did not expect to buy the Snow Ganoderma Pill so easily.
