Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Shen Ping strolled along the stone street. He put his hands behind his back as he lazily sized up the shops on both sides of the street. These shops operated all kinds of businesses. Rouge, powder, cloth silk brocade, teahouses, snacks, pawn shops, and bathhouses. Of course, there was also mainstream food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. It could be said to be very lively.

Looking at the passers-by and the students of the academy who walked out of the shops from time to time, he felt comfortable and relaxed. He even had the mentality of traveling the mortal world and watching the world. This mentality naturally reflected his actions. Compared to the surrounding peddlers and students of the academy, he looked out of place.

After all, everyone was all on the same page. He arrived at a restaurant. He sat down and called, “Waiter.”

“Coming.” The waiter diligently wiped the table and asked enthusiastically, “Sir, what do you want?”

“What’s your best wine?”

“Of course it’s Lijiang Spring. Anyone who comes to Lijiang will have a drink.”

“Fine, a pot, then, and two pounds of beef and a plate of peanuts.”

“Sure.”

After a while, there were two plates of peanuts and beef on the table. Shen Ping drank the Lijiang Spring and crossed his legs. He listened to the discussions and gossip from all over the world. After careful analysis, most of them were actually about him killing the 100,000 demon soldiers of the Demon Nation in the north.

“That Marquis of Zhenbei is a deity who has descended to the mortal world. He has red hair and divine eyes. He holds two maces and can kill demons with a single look.”

“That can’t be right. I heard that Marquis Zhenbei uses a sword.”

“Weapons aren’t the main point. The main point is to kill 100,000 demon soldiers in one strike. Tsk tsk, do you think this is something a human can do? It must be a god descending to the mortal world.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The surrounding merchants listened with relish and cheered from time to time. The people of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty actually hated demons deeply. Although the demons were mainly concentrated in the demon country, there were still many of them in the dynasty. They couldn’t be killed at all. Perhaps a demon would appear in a deep mountain and harm the people.

Shen Ping sat at the side and listened attentively. He did not know that he was so powerful.

“Waiter, a pot of good Lijiang Spring and two plates of peanuts and snacks.” Three students of the academy sat at the table beside him. They held swords in their hands and chatted casually. “I don’t know what that person from the Imperial Capital is thinking. He actually sent a beautiful woman from another country to our academy. It’s simply insulting to the culture. Also, if that Marquis of Zhenbei really comes to the academy, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause.”

“That’s right. I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei is very flirtatious at a young age. On the way to the border, he doesn’t forget to have fun every night.”

“There are many seniors and juniors in our academy. If we really let the Marquis of Zhenbei come, won’t it ruin the reputation of our academy if he goes berserk?”

“It’s useless for us to worry about this. Let’s see how the elders of the academy deal with it.”

His ears twitched. Shen Ping could not help but laugh. As expected, the news of the ordinary people and the students of the academy were completely different. The point they paid attention to was also different. This was the Information Cocoon Room, which existed even in this ancient dynasty.

In the eyes of the people, he was a god that had descended to the mortal world. In the eyes of the academy, he had become a depraved military thief. It was very interesting.

After drinking and eating the meat, he left the restaurant and went to the Lijiang Pier. There was a ship here that was specially used to pick him up. When there were 20 people, they set off.

“It’s really inconvenient to have no one to serve you. I wonder if the beauties of Nanyue know how to serve others.” Once he sat on the ship, Shen Ping thought of this, and he could not help but shrug. Since when did he become a pampered young master that he could not do without the service of others? Sure enough, it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

The waves of the river surged, but the ship was very stable. When they arrived at the entrance of Seeping River Academy, the continuous mountain range was like a huge beast lying horizontally. The students of the other academies walked out one after another.

Shen Ping raised his head and looked at these mountains. The mountains in his eyes quickly formed an endless set of sword technique profundities.

“Using mountains and rivers as swords, does this Seeping River Academy also major in swordsmanship? If that’s the case, there’s no need to marry the Sword Whisper Tower’s sword seed.”

With his realm, he could naturally tell that the profound meaning of this sword technique was completely different from the Sword Whisper Tower. In the end, the Sword Dao was all the same. For example, the Water and Fire Sword Intent looked different, but they could actually fuse together.

Sword Dao geniuses with extraordinary comprehension also needed to slowly comprehend it to understand this true intent. However, Shen Ping had already comprehended various Great Daos and could easily smelt and comprehend the true Sword Dao. This was also why he had stepped into the Sword Dao so quickly.

He asked around a little and he arrived at the registration counter. Shen Ping took out the token of Marquis Zhenbei, which was completely jade-colored. The disciple’s face changed, “You, you are the Marquis of Zhenbei?”

“That’s right. Where are my beauties?”

“I-I don’t know. Marquis Zhenbei, please wait a moment. I’ll immediately invite the elders over.”

Not long after, the Palace Master of Seeping River Academy had come personally. What surprised Shen Ping was that this palace master was actually a beautiful woman. She smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to come so quickly. The women sent by His Majesty are arranged to be at the guest peak of the academy. Please follow me.”

He followed behind as he looked at the waistline of the palace master. With his experience, he could tell at a glance that the other party had experienced sex recently. This surprised Shen Ping. The dignified Palace Master of Seeping River Academy, an Immortal Realm expert, was actually like this.

“Palace Master Yan, I see that your aura is not pure. It seems that recently…” Shen Ping said.

Palace Master Yan smiled calmly and said, “To be honest, my husband is the true Palace Master of Seeping River Academy. I’m only a Vice Palace Master who’s in charge of the academy’s affairs. My husband just came back a few days ago, but he left very quickly.”

Shen Ping was enlightened. So that was how it was. However, this Seeping River Academy was very strong. There were two Immortal Realm experts. From the hidden auras of the various mountain peaks of the academy, there were more than 30 Earth Immortals. “Palace Master Yan and your husband have a deep relationship.”

Palace Master Yan’s face was slightly red. “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei.”

“The union of Yin and Yang is the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Only by following the Heavenly Dao can the sword technique improve. Only by loving can one love the sword. If there’s no love between husband and wife, then there’s even less love for the sword,” Shen Ping said seriously. He was already good at this, so he would not deliberately forget about the world because of cultivation.

Palace Master Yan said in surprise, “Marquis Zhenbei’s words have a deep understanding of the Sword Dao. Now, I believe that Marquis Zhenbei is a genius. In this world, those who can comprehend such things are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Heaven and earth have feelings, humans have feelings, and so does the sword.”

Shen Ping smiled. “It seems that Palace Master Yan and your husband have chosen the path of the sword.”

“That’s right.” Palace Master Yan glanced at Shen Ping and said, “My Seeping River Academy mainly cultivates the sword and also cultivates other things. The Sword Whisper Tower only cultivates the Sword Dao and walks the Heartless Sword Dao. The further one goes, the more they have to forget about the world. Therefore, sword seeds can’t get married because once they get married, their sword hearts will be damaged, and their cultivation and sword intent will naturally decrease. If the Marquis of Zhenbei intends to marry, don’t get too close to the Sword Whisper Tower.”

Shen Ping teased, “Palace Master, do you want me to marry a disciple of the academy?”

Palace Master Yan smiled. “If fate allows it, my Seeping River Academy will not stop you.”

As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at the guest peak. They landed at a house on the mountainside. There was a eunuch from the palace. When he saw Shen Ping and knew that he was the Marquis of the North, he hurriedly said, “I’ve finally waited for the Marquis of Zhenbei. These ten beauties will be handed over to you. I can finally submit the decree.”

After the documents were settled, the eunuch took his leave. Shen Ping looked at the ten women in front of him who were dressed in skimpy clothes and had hot figures. He was very satisfied. “Not bad. The dynasty deeply favors the Marquis of Zhenbei.”

Palace Master Yan thought to herself. Rumors had it that the Marquis of Zhenbei was a playboy. Today, it seemed that the rumors were true. “What’s your next move?”
