Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

He opened a cave abode on the mountainside nearby, sat down cross-legged and counted the spoils of war. Among them, there were dozens of resources that were useful to Itinerant Immortals. There were countless demon artifacts, Dharma treasures, pills, and other items.

Shen Ping swept his divine sense briefly and smiled. If it were any other Mahayana Realm expert, they would wake up laughing in their dreams if they obtained such a huge amount of resources. However, he was different. After all, these were ordinary cultivation resources, and he was a Beast Spirit genius. He basically could not use them. Moreover, they were resources of the Demon Race. Although they were rare, there were only a hundred types that could be used by humans.

“Oh, this is…” Suddenly, his divine sense swept across a special bottle. Basically, he could tell what was inside the other bottles with a sweep of his divine sense, but this bottle blocked his divine sense. When he investigated seriously again, it was still blocked.

After he took out the bottle, he used his magic power to forcefully break it open. After seeing the item inside, his eyes revealed a pleasant surprise. “It’s actually the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens. This is a natural oddity. Although it’s only the lowest-grade natural oddity, a True Demon actually has such a rare item.”

The Living Soil of the Nine Heavens was a natural oddity of the earth attribute. It could plant any spiritual treasure. It was said that it could even plant the Profound Heaven Divine Vine. However, natural oddities in this place could only be chanced upon by luck.

Shen Ping did not expect to be lucky enough to obtain such a rare treasure after killing a True Demon. “As expected, I can’t underestimate any living being. Who would have thought that a True Demon would actually have a natural oddity!”

He was in a very good mood. Ever since he started cultivating, the reason why he could reach this point today was mainly because of the virtual interface. He had never had the opportunity to explore the ruins and kill other cultivators to obtain powerful treasures. This was because he rarely did such dangerous things. After all, when he explored the ruins in the end, he always targeted his companions and schemed against them.

Now that he had powerful strength, Shen Ping had also tasted the benefits of such plunder. As the saying went, a horse would not get fat without night grass, and a person would not get rich without a windfall.

If he had not thought of diverting his attention and entered the Canglan Realm to kill the Demon Race cultivators, it would have been impossible for him to obtain a natural oddity like the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens.

Swoosh. His figure disappeared and appeared in the World Pearl. The Living Soil of the Nine Heavens had harsh requirements for its living environment. Even in the Upper Realm, there might not be an environment where it could grow. The World Pearl was also a natural oddity that contained Chaotic Qi. It might be suitable for the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens.

He placed half a handful of Living Soil in the center of the deserted island. Shen Ping stared intently. The soil quickly fused into the deserted island and did not destroy the surrounding environment. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief. If it was an ordinary environment, the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens would instantly absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. Only in a suitable environment would there not be much change.

“That True Demon probably couldn’t find a suitable environment to place it in, so he carried it with him.” He thought to himself.

Speaking of which, the main reason why he could kill a True Demon was because of the transformation brought about by the Beast Spirit. Otherwise, even if he could activate a top-notch Beast Spirit Treasure, he might not be able to break through the True Demon’s defense. Apart from that, he could also teleport. This strange beast talent had brought him too much help. Whether it was escaping or dodging attacks, he had the initiative. Without this method, it would be very difficult for him to forcefully break through the True Demon’s attack range.

The range of the 100-kilometer-long Demonic Staff was very tight. Although the Primordial Chaos Spear was stronger in terms of power, the other party could quickly react. Finally, he used the mysterious fluctuation to hide his aura. He had figured out this method himself. It was not considered brilliant. It could only be said that the mysterious fluctuation was too strong, and just a trace of fluctuation was already so powerful. If he could really come into contact with the fluctuation, how powerful would it be? Shen Ping was looking forward to it.

A few days later, he adjusted his mental state. He returned to Gray Stone City and entered through the main city gate. There was a bustling scene everywhere. There was an endless stream of cultivators coming and going. There were Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators and even Nascent Soul cultivators. It seemed that the aura of war could not affect this city at all.

He was not in a hurry to go to the City Lord Manor. He began to stroll around the streets like a loose cultivator. There were rows of shops on both sides. They ran pill shops, grocery stores, taverns, restaurants, and so on. They were not as simple as the Cloud Mountain Parlour back then. If one did not consider those cultivators, they would look like the capital of a prosperous mortal country.

He walked into the teahouse. It sold all kinds of spirit tea and spirit fruits. There was actually a cultivator who was telling stories on the high platform in front of him. At this moment, he was talking about the frontline battlefield.

“The Grand Supreme Elder of the True Treasure Pavilion suddenly shot out a Dharma treasure as thin as a cicada’s wing from his palm. This Dharma treasure was completely transparent and did not flicker with any fluorescence, but its power was unparalleled. In an instant, it flashed in front of the Spirit Race’s Itinerant Immortal and split his indestructible body into two.”

“Alright!! One more!”

This storyteller’s eloquence was even more exciting than the scene of Shen Ping killing the strongest Itinerant Immortal of the Spirit Race. It attracted cheers.

While Shen Ping was in a daze, he could not help but sigh with emotion. Only under a prosperous and stable life could such an industry be born. If it was a normal cultivation world, most cultivators would be running around for their survival and cultivation. How could they have the spare money to listen to stories and have fun like mortals?

Gray Stone City had become more and more prosperous and stable in the past few hundred years. Moreover, because of the strength and restrictions of the True Treasure Pavilion, no robbers or cultivators dared to cause trouble within a hundred miles. There were even law enforcement patrols in the city. Killing people to snatch treasures, sinister schemes could not be seen most of the time. As time passed, more and more cultivators naturally settled here. Most cultivators yearned for such a stable cultivation life.

In addition, the True Treasure Pavilion had a lot of precious resources, medicinal pills, talismans, and so on. It also nurtured some alchemists, Talisman Masters, Array Masters, and so on to help them open shops in the city, causing rogue cultivators to be able to buy medicinal pills to increase their cultivation.

Therefore, no one wanted to explore the ruins and fight. Of course, if they wanted to improve faster, they still had to fight. For example, he heard that many independent cultivators had run over to the frontline battlefield.

“If Cloud Mountain Parlour was so stable in the past, I might still be there!” He could not help but feel nostalgic. The applause in the teahouse interrupted Shen Ping’s thoughts again. He drank a few cups of spiritual tea and listened carefully before leaving the teahouse with a smile.

He walked on the street, looking at the expressions of the surrounding cultivators, Shen Ping could feel their vigorous and strived heart. It was just like how he had felt when he moved to the square back then. His heart seemed to be touched and he stood on the spot. When he came back to his senses, the aura on his body quietly changed.

Mid-stage Mahayana Realm. The magical power of the strange beast actually increased naturally at this moment.

“This is the cultivation life I want! Isn’t all the hard work and bitter cultivation that doesn’t care about the world for the sake of walking steadily and advancing to immortality without any danger?”

He would rather be a peaceful dog than a man in troubled times. In the Nine Continents Tower, he had been wandering around a few times. In the end, he had no choice but to escape from the Nine Continents Tower. Even now, he was still facing danger. However, in his heart, Shen Ping was still a cultivator who was unwilling to take risks.

Along the way, he almost forgot about his heart, but at this moment, he understood and strengthened himself again. And with a direction, his footsteps became even more steady and powerful.

He returned to the City Lord Manor. Shen Ping first called An Zhiyuan and Jing Yan over and asked them about some matters in their True Treasure Pavilion. The two of them had spent most of their time dealing with things over the years. Their cultivation progress could not compare to his wife, concubine, and dao companions. Then, he went to Yue Lingluo’s bedroom and asked about the situation at the front line.

“The alliance of the various races has not withdrawn. However, cultivators above the Body Integration realm no longer participate in the war. This is a good thing for both sides. Many members nurtured in the True Treasure Pavilion lack training. They can use this war to sharpen themselves. Also, resources can be circulated better. Also, a few days ago, it seems that a True Immortal senior came to visit..”
