Chapter 7

Delivering Herself

Most of the cultivators lives were relatively dull. They either cultivated in seclusion, learned various techniques, or were practicing in casting spells. There was very little time for them to take risks. Some cultivators rarely went out to sharpen themselves.

For example, ever since Shen Pings body was corroded by the poison, he had basically never left the market.

Low-level cultivators had no bottlenecks in their cultivation, only a lack of resources. Even with the innate talent of the five-elements pseudo spiritual root, if the resources could keep up, there was still a possibility of building a foundation.

[You have dual cultivated with your wife once. You have received +2 Experience in Dao of Talisman.]

[Current wifes favorability: 100]

[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 4]

[Talisman Master: Level One Mid-Grade (8,044/10,000)]

Shen Ping looked at the virtual interface. In the past half a month, he had returned to his habit of exercising five times. With the s.e.x techniques he bought, he could reduce his losses. Coupled with the nutritious ingredients he ate every day, it was not a problem to increase the number of times.

However, considering w.a.n.g Yuns condition, he only maintained it five times. It was mainly because the special movements recorded in the secret manual consumed a lot of stamina and mental strength.

With my current speed, Ill be able to reach the requirements for a breakthrough in another two months. Its a pity that my cultivation level is too low. Even if I break through, I wont be able to make high-grade talismans!

Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh. His acc.u.mulation of wealth was still too slow. However, for his own safety, he would rather slow down than take the slightest risk.

Husband, why are you sighing? Did Yuner not serve you well? The young and tender skin of his wife in his arms was rosy. She looked at her husband uneasily.

During this period of time, there was still no movement in her stomach, and she could not help but feel anxious. The only thing she could do now was to please her husband. If she could not even do this well, she couldnt even raise her head.

Shen Ping pinched his wifes face and said with a smile, Yuner, dont think too much. I just remembered some things.

w.a.n.g Yun heaved a sigh of relief. Husband, I think you should agree to it since Senior Ceng came again last time. I also want to have an elder sister so that we can serve you together. She had completely gotten over it.

Since it was unavoidable for her husband to marry a Dao Companion, she could only take the initiative to accept it. Moreover, she mentioned serving him together because she wanted to increase the value of her existence.

If mortals wanted to survive among cultivators, they had to try to change themselves. This was the philosophy of survival that her father had always taught her.

Shen Pings heart warmed when he heard that. His wife was really considerate and obedient. Theres no hurry. I have to think about it.

The next day, the two of them were about to eat when there was a light knock on the door. He opened it.

Matchmaker Cengs standard enthusiastic smile came into view. Beside her stood a girl in a green dress, her watery eyes surging with uneasiness. Shen Pings face twitched. If this matchmaker did not do business well, the heavens would not tolerate it!

Come in!

When Matchmaker Ceng and the girl in the green dress entered the house, he quickly glanced around and closed the door when he saw that no one was around. When w.a.n.g Yun saw the girl, she was stunned for a moment before she understood what was going on. She went forward enthusiastically and greeted, Senior Ceng, please take a seat.

As she spoke, she went to pour spirit tea for Matchmaker Ceng.

Yo, Sister Yuner is getting more and more lively. Your days are getting better and better. This sumptuous dinner is probably worth two spirit stones. Even a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator cant bear to part with it! Matchmaker Ceng looked at the table full of meat, spirit rice, and various dishes. Her eyes could not help but flash with envy. Two spirit stones for a meal? It was too extravagant!

The girl in the green dress standing beside her could not help but swallow. She secretly sized up w.a.n.g Yun, who was busy pouring tea, from the corner of her eye. She was filled with envy.

She followed her brother to the periphery of the market. Every day, she would save as much as she could. Usually, she couldnt even bear to buy spirit rice, let alone all kinds of meat and expensive vegetables that contained spiritual energy.

Is this the life of a mid-grade Talisman Master? Her eyes were filled with yearning.

Shen Ping coughed a few times. Fellow Daoist Ceng, why are you here this time?

Matchmaker Ceng reached out and pulled the girl in the green dress in front of her. Fellow Daoist Shen, were old acquaintances. I wont beat around the bush. Ive always kept this girl for you. Shes obedient and sensible. If you ask her to go west, she definitely wont go east! Several cultivators are interested. If we delay any longer, I really cant guarantee that she can stay.

Shen Ping rolled his eyes in his heart. Who would believe you! If she was really popular, Matchmaker Zeng would have given her away long ago. He had sensed it just now.

This girl in the green dress had a very low cultivation level. She was only at the first level of Qi Refinement.

Her appearance was sweet and pleasant, and there was an indescribable tenacity in her body. She should have suffered often, but her spiritual root apt.i.tude at this age was definitely very poor.

Many cultivators married concubines based on their apt.i.tude. For example, it was basically impossible to nurture a pseudo spiritual root apt.i.tude. Marrying her was completely a fertility tool.

If the previous market was good, such a girl did not lack cultivators needs.

But now, most of the cultivators in the market wanted to go to the Cloudy Mountain Swamp and become rich. How could they marry? After all, it was unknown whether they would live or die if they took the risk to explore. If they were to die after marrying someone, then this wife and concubine might become someone elses.

Therefore, Shen Ping guessed that the girl in front of him had most likely fallen into the hands of Matchmaker Ceng.

Seeing that Shen Ping did not say anything, Matchmaker Ceng kicked the girl in the green dress. The girls body trembled slightly as she hurriedly said, Senior Senior Shen, I know everything. Please take me!

Shen Ping shuddered. This voice was crisp and soft, and it was not a coquestish voice. In his previous life, there was a long line of people rus.h.i.+ng to deliver the money. He immediately made a decision.

However, he pretended to frown and said, Fellow Daoist Ceng, is there no one with a higher cultivation level?

Actually, with his current strength, it was more suitable to marry someone at the first level of Qi Refinement. If her strength was high, he might lose both his life and wealth.

Matchmaker Ceng chuckled and said, Yes, of course. For example, the widow living alone opposite Fellow Daoist Shen. If you like her, Ill matchmake you.

Shen Ping had no intention of marrying a widow. He said awkwardly, Alright, shell do. If the price is too high, Fellow Daoist Ceng should look for other cultivators.

Matchmaker Ceng had originally planned to ask for more, but considering that they might continue to cooperate in the future, she could not help but grit her teeth and say, How about this? One mid-grade spirit stone and shes yours!

A moment later, Shen Ping sent Matchmaker Ceng out. Before she left, Matchmaker Ceng smiled and said, Fellow Daoist Shen, dont forget to invite me to the banquet!

Shen Ping shook his head. Given the current situation, theres no need for a banquet.

Matchmaker Ceng didnt mind. She swayed her hips and left. As he looked at her back, Shen Ping thought to himself. This matchmaker dared to bring a low-level female cultivator out at night. She was definitely a ruthless person. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. If she did not have any tricks up her sleeve, she would have long been targeted by the robbers.

After he closed the door, the darkness was immediately blocked out. Under the light of the crystal lamp, the room was brightly lit.

In the past, he was poor and could not bear to buy crystal lamps. However, now that he had become a mid-grade Talisman Master, there was no need to save such a small amount of money.

Although Shen Ping was careful with his life, he was very willing to spend money in some aspects.

Whats your name?

Senior Shen, my name is Bai Yuying.
