Chapter 154: Long-lost Heartbeat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was February.

It was the cold season of spring in Qingyang City.

At this time, the ray of light leaped east from the city gate and crossed Qingyang Lake. After twenty minutes, it landed at the foot of the Maple Forest Mountain Range that surrounded the East Lake.

Several charming and beautiful figures quickly appeared among the maple trees that were emitting new buds.

Bai Yuying was wearing a beautiful dress woven with cloud patterns. Her face was a little beautiful. She closed her eyes and sniffed the fresh spring smell in the forest. Her cheerful voice sounded. Yinger hasnt come out for a long time. I didnt expect Husband to have the time to accompany us on a spring trip today. Thats great.

Shen Ping smiled and said, Its inevitable that well feel bored after cultivating for a long time. In the past, I couldnt bring you out to relax because of my cultivation and strength. But now, with Senior Pei by my side, I dont have to consider my safety. I can enjoy the surrounding beautiful scenery to my hearts content to relieve my boredom.

Yu Yans brows revealed a hint of gentleness as she said softly, Thank you, husband.

Thank you, Husband. w.a.n.g Yun and Luo Qing smiled one after another.

Shen Ping clapped his hands and said, Since youre here to play, relax your mind. Dont care about those distracting thoughts of cultivation.

Yes, husband.

Sister Yuner, lets go over there and take a look. Bai Yuying pulled w.a.n.g Yun and ran towards the west of Maple Forest. The mountains there were undulating, and there were clouds lingering along the mountain ridge. The scenery was pleasant.

Yu Yan was wearing a robe that tied her waist. Her hair was tied into a simple bow. She glanced at Shen Ping and said, Husband, 1 heard from the rogue cultivators that theres a hot spring in Maple Forest Mountain. Its quite spiritual. You can admire it.

Shen Pings expression changed slightly. He smiled and looked sideways. Qinger, what about you? Do you want to go over?

Luo Qing shook her head. Husband, Ill just stay here.

Seeing this, Shen Ping did not force her and left with Yu Yan. Pei Huoyu waved her hand indifferently, and two jade-colored prayer mats floated to the ground. Have a seat.

Luo Qing said respectfully, Thank you, Senior Pei.

The two of them quickly sat cross-legged on the futon and closed their eyes to rest.

A moment later, in the depths of the maple forest. The surface of the hot spring was steaming.

Shen Ping swept his gaze over and swept it with his magic powers. After confirming that there was no problem, he took out a few array flags and threw them around. Immediately, the light distorted, and his and Yu Yans figures gradually blurred and disappeared.

Not long after, within the range of the array flag, the violent sound of water accompanied by a melodious song faintly spread. This song seemed to be crying, either mellow or impa.s.sioned, playing the natural music of the forest.

The array flag flashed when the spring calmed down, and two figures walked out. The blush on Yu Yans face dissipated, and a relaxed smile appeared on her lips. The environment in the forest and wilderness is really smoothing. 1 feel much better now. She kissed Shen Ping on the cheek. Im going to look for Yuner and Yinger. Husband, you can admire the beauty of the mountain scenery here.

Her figure flickered and Yu Yan had already disappeared.

Shen Ping looked at the fluorescent light of the robe and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Over the past few days, Yu Yans cultivation state of mind had gradually acc.u.mulated. No matter how much he comforted her, it was useless. That was why he brought his wife and concubines out for a spring stroll at this time.

Now, it seemed that the effect was not bad. At least at this moment, Yu Yans depressed mood was relieved.

Ill have to come out a few times in the next few months. He sighed softly.

If a cultivators mental state made a mistake, it would affect the efficiency of their cultivation. If it was serious, it would breed inner demons. Especially at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm, one had to be calm and confident. Otherwise, even if there were enough resources, there was a high chance of failure in Foundation Establishment.

He put away his emotions. Shen Ping walked slowly in the forest and opened the virtual interface.

[Talisman Dao Mystique: Sea of Talisman (Thousand Talismans) (3,160/30,000)]

[Talisman Master: Low-grade Level 3 (50,000/1,200,000)]

[Life Divine Talisman: Second (312/10,000)]

[Your dao companion has deep feelings for you. Current favorability: 100+100]

[Inner Charm Fire Body Effect: You have received an additional divine sense

+1]

[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 8]

[Silver Bonus: 10]

[Puppet Master: Mid-grade Level 2 (130,000/300,000)]

[Divine sense: Late-stage Foundation Establishment (180,000/250,000)]

[Metal Spiritual Root: Top-grade (140,000/150,000)]

[Wood Spiritual Root: Top-grade (140,000/150,000)]

His gaze swept across the attributes of all the virtual boxes. In the end, it landed on the metal and wood spiritual roots. The level of the Dao of Talismans had already broken through to the third level in the middle of the first month.

As for the grade of the spiritual root, it had been acc.u.mulating day and night. However, because Bai Yuying was a silver virtual frame, the bonus was relatively small. After coming to Qingyang City for more than four years, there was finally hope of a breakthrough.

At his current speed, he would be able to break through the bottleneck with his top-grade metal and wood spiritual roots in another three months.

The support of a top-grade spiritual root played a crucial role in building his foundation so quickly.

Although after absorbing the blood of the strange beast pattern, his reliance on the Metal-Wood Spirit Root at the Foundation Establishment realm had decreased greatly, the foundation of the Spirit Root as a cultivator could not be ignored.

He took a few glances before Shen Ping put away the virtual interface. Looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, his heart strangely became unprecedentedly calm. He had not been in this state for a long time.

And with the silence, the past four years of cultivation in Qingyang City gradually appeared in his mind. Those scenes, especially the bits and pieces of interaction with his wife and concubines, kept flickering.

There was warmth, joy, and worry.

However, after he reached the Foundation Establishment realm and experienced the ridiculous release of those few days, he spent less and less time on his wife and concubines. Strengthening his physique was one thing, but most of it was because he had lost his calmness and patience.

Ive changed. Shen Ping suddenly sighed when he came back to his senses. He could use words to warm his wife and concubines, but he could not warm his increasingly cold and busy heart.

That kind of neglect.

That kind of impatience.

It was hard to hide in life. There was a huge gap between Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment, let alone the Golden Core! Even if he restrained his aura and pressure, the invisible pressure would always acc.u.mulate in the hearts of his wife and concubines.

If not for Yu Yans mental state this time, there was no silence at this moment. He might not even realize it.

Shen Ping looked up at the scenery of the maple forest again. He seemed to hear the laughter of his wife and concubines in the distance and w.a.n.g Yuns voice. In a flash, it was as if he had returned to the narrow and dark wooden house. He vaguely saw a Talisman Master buried on the table. There was caution and reverence on his face. Just like his current wife and concubines.

And they could only rely on their husband. They could only rely on the warmth of being closely connected day and night.

It was until this moment that Shen Ping suddenly woke up. What did Yu Yan mean by useless that day? For some reason, his heart ached faintly. He subconsciously placed his palm on it, and his heartbeat sped up. Its still hot.

Tears quietly rolled down the corners of Shen Pings eyes, but a smile appeared on his face.

They came back from his spring trip. He did not change much as usual, but the dual cultivation time every day was increasing bit by bit. The corresponding meditation and cultivation kept compressing. In just half a month, it was compressed to only two hours. At the same time, the cultivation arrangements quietly changed.

It was the middle of the night. Shen Ping ended his study of the Talisman Scripture in advance and went to the bedroom. His wife and concubines were already waiting on the bed.

Bai Yuying was only wearing a purple undergarment. She straightened up and stretched out her arms coquettishly. Hehe, Husband, I knew you would come at this time today. Yinger wants to hug you.

Shen Ping smiled and went forward to hug Bai Yuyings slender waist. He kissed her cheek. Youre so naughty.

Bai Yuying took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Shen Pings broad back and stuck out her tongue. Yinger cant wait anymore. She wants Hubbys rod to serve her All, Hubby, you ambushed me again!

His wife, who was beside him, covered her mouth and smiled. Sister Yinger, you cant blame Husband. Who asked you not to be on guard at all?

Amidst laughter, the bed swayed gently. There was no Snow Ganoderma Pill. There was no Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment. Shen Pings every move was very light and slow, as if he wanted to melt his wife and concubines into his heart. The crystal lights in the bedroom seemed to have warmed up a little. The purple and pink gauze curtain on the bed slowly fell, and the hazy figure surged with moving joy.

At midnight, after resting for a while, Shen Ping stepped into the room. The smell of petals lingered in the hot air of the wooden bucket. Yu Yans black hair fell to the side of her left shoulder. She stretched out her foot and placed it by the side of the wooden bucket. Her taut and slender fair skin had a moist l.u.s.ter.

As the broad figure approached, she sniffed lightly, and a smile flashed across her eyes. The smell on my husbands body is very familiar. I want to add a different smell.

Is it the sweet mountain spring water? Or the smell of grapefruits? As Shen Ping spoke, he circled behind Yu Yan and probed the water along her shoulders.

Yu Yan closed her eyes. Her voice trembled slightly. Which one do you like, Husband?

Shen Ping smiled warmly and whispered into her ear, Both. If its hot, 1 like it even more.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the Dao technique had already begun to flicker. However, compared to before, the battles had become gentler. The two of them seemed to be completely immersed in the endless path of love. They had just ended the exchange when Shen Pings expression suddenly changed.

Yu Yan said nervously, Husband, whats wrong?

A good thing. Im about to break through to a certain cultivation technique. Shen Ping gave her an apologetic look and quickly walked to the quiet room in the spirit pool. After sitting down cross-legged, he took a deep breath and opened the virtual interface.

There were many changes on it.

[Const.i.tution: Jade Bone Body (Can be broken through)]

He was happy when he saw this. The improvement in physique brought about by the immersive dual cultivation finally underwent a change over time.

Breakthrough!
