Longevity begins with marrying a wife

It was dawn the next day.

The excitement in Shen Ping's heart slowly calmed down.

He glanced at his sleeping wife and concubine and opened the virtual panel.

[talisman master: first-level mid-level (13036/10000) can break through]

…

[Gold spiritual root: middle grade (1820/10000)]

[Wood spiritual root: middle grade (1714/10000)]

With his experience in Talisman Dao, he could break through a long time ago, but due to his cultivation level, even if he broke through, he would not be able to make a talisman, so he kept suppressing it.

But now that he has officially broken through to the fourth level of Qi training, he no longer needs to hold back.

He got up gently.

Then come to the cubicle.

After sitting down in meditation, I silently said in my mind, "Breakthrough!"

boom.

The virtual frame shook slightly.

A large amount of information about the experience and insights of Talisman Dao secretly poured into Shen Ping's sea of ​​consciousness. This time, he seemed to see a figure who had been making talismans for many years and constantly accumulated experience to improve Talisman Dao.

After dozens of breaths.

He opened his eyes, his pupils sparkling with joy.

From today onwards.

He is a top-grade Talisman Master.

Get up.

Shen Ping came to the kitchen.

Wash rice.

Cut the meat.

Cook rice.

When the wife and concubines woke up, the aroma of spiritual rice mixed with meat filled the house.

"Husband, you, you seem to have made a breakthrough?"

Yesterday, Bai Yuying got to bed before she could sense it, but today she felt a little different when she saw Shen Ping as soon as she got up.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Yes, my husband is already a fourth-level Qi practitioner!"

Wang Yun suddenly became excited, "Congratulations, husband, congratulations, husband!"

She was not fully clothed and her chest was trembling.

Bai Yuying also quickly congratulated.

But compared to Wang Yun, she was not so excited.

After all, the fourth level of Qi training is still the bottom level.

After dinner.

The wives and concubines went out to dry the brocade quilt on the ropes built by the jujube trees outside the house, while cleaning and disposing of domestic garbage.

Shen Ping looked at the narrow room and thought to himself.

Now that the poison in his body has been eliminated, although he no longer needs to accumulate spiritual stones to buy the poison-removing pills, once his cultivation reaches the mid-term, he will have to buy a set of medium-grade magic weapons. Such items are not cheap.

Attack and defense, especially defensive ones, must not be omitted.

This is about safety.

In the past, I had no money and insufficient cultivation, so I had to make do.

But it has to be arranged now.

The other is the living environment.

Hongliu Lane is not safe. He goes out rarely enough, but sometimes he has to go out. To avoid danger, moving to Fangshi is the only way.

It's just that all the streets and alleys in the city are already full.

So he could only wait.

The monks are fighting with the sky for their fate, and the situation is precarious. Maybe it won't be long before there are vacant houses in the city.

If it is not possible, then the small courtyard shared rental mentioned by shopkeeper Chen must be considered.

"Expenses will get bigger and bigger in the future... My financial resources are still too thin!"

"First use up all the mid-grade talisman seal materials on hand, and then you have to try to make high-grade talisman seals!"

Shen Ping did not buy high-grade talisman seal materials last time. Firstly, there were not enough spiritual stones. Secondly, he was worried that his lack of experience in talismanism would lead to a low production success rate, which would lead to a waste of materials.

Make a plan.

He was busy again.

After so many years of cultivation life, he has long developed the habit of being busy. Even if he has just made a breakthrough, he is not willing to relax and enjoy a moment of time.

…

Early August.

The temperature gradually rises.

The sun-scorched Red Willow Alley is filled with an unpleasant smell, and mosquitoes breed in the streets, leading to low-level talismans and seals such as cleaning charms and insect repellent charms being sold well.

In the past, this season was the time for Shen Ping to accumulate wealth, but this year he did not join in the fun.

this day.

The Jinyang Sect's large flying boat once again stopped at the edge of Fang City.

Another group of monks arrived.

The price of houses in Hongliu Lane has not changed, but the prices in various streets and alleys in Fang City have soared. Even so, there are no vacant houses for rent.

In the face of overcrowding, Jinyang Zong announced that it would expand Fangshi and open an area to the east to build a medium-sized courtyard.

As soon as this news came out.

Many monks rushed to the outer deacon hall in Fangshi to inquire about specific matters.

When Yu Yan came back from Fangshi, she saw Shen Ping outside the house and sighed, "I can't afford the rent, I can't afford the rent!"

Shen Ping's expression changed and he asked, "Did Fellow Daoist Yu go to the Deacon Hall?"

Yu Yan nodded, "This time Jinyang Sect will build 300 medium-sized courtyards in the east. Each courtyard has six houses, divided into upper and lower floors. They can be rented individually or shared."

The corner of Shen Ping's mouth twitched, this Jin Yangzong is really getting better and better at doing business.

However, there are indeed too many monks in Fangshi now. It is said that some of the monks have moved away from Fangshi and went to another Fangshi next to the edge of Yunshan Swamp. That Fangshi was a cultivation family under the jurisdiction of Jinyang Sect. The one established is far inferior to Yunshanfang in terms of strength and security.

"What about the price?"

"Fifteen middle-grade spiritual stones!"

Shen Ping smiled and said, "The price is not bad. If we rent together..."

The words are not finished yet.

Yu Yan interrupted, "What are you thinking? It costs fifteen yuan of middle-grade spiritual stones to rent a single house in the small courtyard!"

After hearing this, Shen Ping almost blurted out, "What? A separate room?"

"This is too expensive!"

The annual rental price for the single-family courtyard where the late eighth-floor Qi Lian and the Foundation-building monks live is only 20 yuan. As a result, this medium-sized courtyard alone costs 15 yuan!

It's almost the same as robbing.

To know.

His annual net profit is only about 40 yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones.

This is because he has a high success rate in making talismans and the market is good. A casual cultivator like Yu Yan, who is on the fifth level of Qi training, can earn up to 20 middle-grade spiritual stones every year just from hunting monster materials and other income. , of course, if you act as a robbery cultivator, your income will be high, but it is also very dangerous.

“It’s better to be expensive than to be expensive!”

"The deacon said that the medium-sized courtyard built this time will have a large spirit gathering array, and it will also be connected to the spiritual veins of Jinyang Sect. Not only that, each individual house will be large in size and will have a quiet room inside. Cubicles such as material handling rooms.”

Hear this.

Shen Ping fell silent.

Just one connection to the Jinyang Sect's spiritual veins is enough to arouse the hearts of countless monks.

The branch of the Jinyang Sect that opened up wasteland is located on the spiritual veins of Yunshan Swamp. It is full of spiritual energy and cannot be compared to other places.

And spiritual veins are very important to monks.

The more advanced a monk is, the more he needs a spiritual environment.

"Alas, it's a pity that not only can't we rent it, but once it's built, it won't be our turn!"

Yu Yan shook her head and sighed, "Many senior monks are watching now. How can those of us who are in the middle stage of Qi training defeat them?"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house.

She knew about Shen Ping's breakthrough a few days ago, and she just congratulated him.

"Shopkeeper Chen, that medium-sized courtyard..."

When Shen Ping returned to the house, he summoned shopkeeper Chen.

It didn't take long.

Shopkeeper Chen replied, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I guess I'm a little confused. I didn't expect that Jinyang Sect would connect this medium-sized courtyard to the spiritual vein. Now 100 of the 300 courtyards have been reserved, and the rest will be reserved by then." Priority will be given to supplying monks in the late stage of Qi training!"

"But it will take at least half a year before the construction is completed. Fellow Daoist Shen may not have a chance."

Shen Ping's heart sank. He thought it was too expensive before, but in the end he couldn't even afford the rent.

"Shopkeeper Chen, please help me keep an eye on it. If there is a vacant house, please notify me immediately."

"no problem!"
