“Although the Golden Sun Sect has unified the twelve countries, Qingyang City is still a place where itinerant cultivators gather.”
Listening to the introduction in his ear, Shen Ping’s gaze landed on the area with the most spiritual energy. He sensed a slightly familiar aura there. His figure disappeared. He appeared in a courtyard.
A woman wearing only a padded undergarment was soaking in the hot spring in the courtyard. Looking at her appearance, he could not help but smile. So it was Chen Ying, the demoness of the Acacia Faction he had once known at the Cloud Mountain Parlour. He did not expect that after a thousand years, she would actually have the opportunity to cultivate to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
“Huh?” Sensing the magic powers of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect in her body, he seemed to come to a realization. Thinking of the Holy Maiden of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect, he could not help but reveal himself. “Who are you?!”
Chen Ying swept her gaze across and saw Shen Ping’s figure. Her expression did not change at all, but her eyes revealed coldness. She waved her hand, and the hot water that filled the air became even stronger, covering her graceful figure. “I wonder which senior has come to my humble abode. It’s inconvenient for me to stand up and welcome you. Please forgive me!”
Seeing the other party walk over, Chen Ying hurriedly said respectfully. To be able to appear so silently and could not detect a trace of aura, his cultivation must be above hers.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, it’s been many years since we last met. Do you still remember the Talisman Master you teased back then?”
As he smiled, the steam from the hot spring dissipated. Only then did Chen Ying see Shen Ping’s face clearly. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, her memory was very good. She quickly recalled her days at the Cloud Mountain Parlour, even though she had long forgotten these days. After all, to be able to struggle to reach the Nascent Soul realm in the cruel cultivation world, her experience could be said to be a legend. The experience at the Cloud Mountain Parlour was nothing.
However, when she heard Shen Ping mention it, she immediately thought of it.
“Y-You’re that cunning Talisman Master Shen?” Chen Ying’s eyes widened. Of course, she knew this Talisman Master Shen. He was a first-grade guest elder of the True Treasure Pavilion. She heard that he had gone to the Linhai Immortal City later on. She had also gone to the Linhai Immortal City, but she had not found him. Later on, she did not pay much attention to it. When the Derivative Beast Crisis came, she had encountered an opportunity. “Greetings, Senior Shen.”
Shen Ping chuckled and said, “That’s right. Fellow Daoist Chen is even smarter than before.”
How could Chen Ying not know that the other party’s cultivation was far superior to hers? Her graceful body walked out of the hot spring and stood in front of Shen Ping. She bowed and said, “I wonder what instructions Senior Shen has for coming here?”
Her every move was filled with fragrance. In particular, the bulging curves of the undergarment trembled slightly. There was even love in her teeth and bright eyes. Although she did not use any illusion techniques, this temptation seemed to have fused into nature.
Shen Ping did not mind. “I’m just revisiting the old place. I sensed a familiar aura and came here. I didn’t expect to meet Fellow Daoist Chen.” He continued, “You should be cultivating the cultivation technique of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect. You can send a voice transmission to that Holy Maiden and say that an old friend has invited her.”
He disappeared.
Chen Ying frowned. This Talisman Master Shen could easily see through the cultivation technique she cultivated. The lowest cultivation level was probably at the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. “Holy Maiden… Could it be the sect master?”
Qingyang City’s old residence was no longer there. Shen Ping, Wang Yun, and Yu Yan did not stay in Qingyang City for three days before arriving at Cloud Mountain Parlour. This market was even more prosperous than before. Not far away, there were Golden Sun Sect’s disciples stationed at the gathering place of spirit veins in the mountain range.
“Husband, those wooden houses are gone. There are more attics.” Wang Yun sighed.
Yu Yan shook her head. “This is very normal. Even in the cultivation world, the world has changed after a thousand years.”
Shen Ping nodded and did not say anything. Instead, he walked along the main street, as if he was recalling the past. Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and Bai Yuying were all holding Shen Ping’s palm tightly.
The True Treasure Pavilion still had a branch in Cloud Mountain Parlour. Spring Garden was gone, but there was a Spring Phoenix Restaurant that was run like Spring Garden.
“What a pity.”
They shopped for the entire afternoon. Shen Ping sighed. Now that he had already cultivated to the Mahayana Realm, the past had become a memory. Fortunately, he still had his Dao companions by his side.
He did not stay in Cloud Mountain Parlour for long. They returned to Qingyang City and a few days passed.
In the courtyard, Shen Ping met the Sect Master of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect, who was also the Holy Maiden who had gone to the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion for the exchange back then. The other party’s appearance was still peerless, but to Shen Ping now, she was not stunning.
“Personal Disciple Shen, it’s been many years since we last met. You’re still as elegant as ever.” Holy Maiden Ying Yue’s eyes flickered with curiosity. She had never heard of the other party for so many years. She thought that the only personal disciple of the dazzling True Treasure Pavilion had died in the Derivative Beast crisis. She did not expect that after nearly a thousand years, the other party would actually appear in Qingyang City.
“Fellow Daoist Ying, I invited you here this time for a matter.”
“What is it?”
“Does Fellow Daoist Ying’s promise from back then still count?” Shen Ping said calmly. The reason why he invited this Holy Maiden over was not to catch up with her. She had one of the ten special physiques. He had never encountered one in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness for so many years. Now that he had returned to the five continents and four seas, he naturally could not miss it.
He had seen the power of the strange beast’s talent. Such a lucky chance was not a matter of dignity. Without the talent of a strange beast, let alone consuming 20 drops of beast blood’s essence, he would have long since died.
The Holy Maiden frowned slightly. “Personal Disciple Shen, what do you mean?” She was already the sect master of the Moon Lotus Holy Sect. Before the crisis of the Derivative Beast, the Moon Lotus Holy Sect had been destroyed by Spring Garden. She had left the Zhongsheng Continent with the sect’s inheritance after the crisis of the Derivative Beast and came to a remote place to rebuild the sect. Now, her cultivation had even reached the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Even if the other party was a personal disciple, it was impossible for her to be like before..
