Chapter 155: True Treasure Pavilion’s Foundation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Boom!

The moment he muttered in his heart, the bones and meridians in his body seemed to have been shattered by an invisible force, and he felt intense pain.

Even Shen Ping, who was in the Foundation Establishment realm, could not withstand this pain. Soon, every inch of his forehead, skin, and robe was drenched. But he gritted his teeth and endured.

However, just as the bone-cracking pain passed, an even more intense pain swept through his entire body. His blood, bones, and meridians seemed to be condensing and growing again. It was both painful and itchy.

Shen Ping could no longer hold on and fell into the quiet room. His body kept twitching. The bones in his body became increasingly crystalline and translucent, like white jade emitting a jade-like fluorescent light.

Almost instantly, the intense pain suddenly disappeared. Shen Ping panted heavily and lay flat on the ground of the quiet room. It took him a full ten minutes to recover. After sitting cross-legged again, he looked at the virtual interface.

[Constitution: Jade Bone Body (0/10,000)]

After evolving to the Jade Bone Body, his physique had a detailed attribute display.

Phew.

As he calmed his mind, his divine sense seeped into his limbs and bones. He immediately saw that his bones were crystalline like jade, and there were faint special luster flickering on the surface. Then, he swept his gaze towards his meridians.

Shen Ping was pleasantly surprised with what he saw. The total amount of magic power that his meridians could accommodate had increased by several times. His Foundation Establishment magic power exceeded his peers.

Now that his total magic power had increased again, if he absorbed spiritual energy and converted it into magic power, he would be more than five times stronger than Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the same level.

Next, he sensed and comprehended other changes. Not long after, excitement surged in his eyes.

After transforming into the Jade Bone Body, his control over his body had actually increased greatly. Although cultivators mainly relied on Dharma artifacts, Dharma treasures, spells, divine powers, and so on in battle, physical strength was also very important. Especially to the current Shen Ping, precise control of physical strength was even more important.

Because this meant that he could control his body’s strength the best during dual cultivation. Apart from magic power, there was also the difference between the physical body and the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Before this, no matter how hard Shen Ping tried to control his body, he could not achieve meticulous control. Therefore, his wife and concubines could not withstand the collision after two or three times. However, it was different now.

He got up and immediately walked out of the quiet room and returned to the room.

Yu Yan was still soaking in the wooden bucket, reminiscing. There was a smile on her lips. She had seen the changes in her husband recently. That warmth doubled the feeling of dual cultivation. “Husband, you…” Hearing footsteps, she had just raised her eyes when a broad figure pressed down on her.

Soon, the sound of water shook violently. Twenty minutes passed. The room returned to silence. Yu Yan bit her black hair and her eyebrows were filled with charm. “Husband, your body seems to have become much smoother. In the battle of Dao techniques, 1 actually can’t feel a trace of Foundation Establishment power. Is it because of that cultivation technique?”

Shen Ping laughed. “That’s right. In the future, I won’t have to worry about damaging your Dao foundation.”

Yu Yan’s eyes lit up. She said excitedly, “Is that so? In that case, what are you waiting for? Now, right now, immediately… 1 want to go to the sky!”

Shen Ping did not say anything. He lowered his waist and reined in the horse. Immediately after, the Dao technique battle became intense again. It seemed to be not far from the obliteration of the Great Dao.

A few days later, at seven o’clock in the morning. The fragrance of the spirit rice and lean meat porridge wafted in the hall. His wife and concubines were all rosy-cheeked and radiant, chatting and joking with each other.

Shen Ping could not help but laugh when he saw this scene. “Eat more. You’ll have to work hard tonight.”

“Yes, husband!”

Meditation, talisman making, studying talisman scriptures, dual cultivation, companionship… The fulfilling and boring cultivation life returned.

The days passed quietly.

April.

The Maple Forest Mountain Range was emerald green and filled with the fragrance of flowers. Shen Ping brought his wife and concubines on a trip. It was different from the previous few times. This time, there was Mu Jin and Yin Honglian.

The shop in South City was not small now. Many guest elders of the True Treasure Pavilion and other alchemists that Deacon Xia knew maintained cooperation with the shop, making the shop’s reputation better.

Mu Jin also got closer and closer to his wife and concubines.

“Sister Yu Yan. How does this petal taste? Can it be concocted into pollen?”

His wife and concubines were all helping to collect nectar and petals. Compared to using spells to clean their bodies, Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, and Luo Qing liked to use pollen. But his wife and concubines all had different tastes. For example, Wang Yun and Bai Yuying were more willing to wash in the water room. As for Luo Qing, she liked to stay in the house and bathe like Yu Yan.

Yu Yan looked at Mu Jin and said with a smile, “It can be concocted, but the smell is a little pungent. If it’s fused with the water, perhaps my husband will think it’s different.” With that, she asked with a faint smile, “Husband is different from before. Sister Mu Jin must have felt it too. How many bowls of porridge can you eat every day?”

Mu Jin blushed and whispered, “Five bowls.”

Yu Yan looked at Mu Jin and said, “The late stage of Qi Refinement is indeed different. Yun’er and the others can only drink four bowls.”

Mu Jin quickly shook her head and said, “It’s only barely for me. Sometimes, I can’t take it. 1 feel so swollen that 1 vomit.”

While the two women were talking, multiple rays of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky. These rays of light surrounded the two huge flying ships and were advancing towards a market not far from the Maple Forest Mountain Range.

“It’s Luosha Demonic Valley. There’s also the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!”

Yu Yan and Mu Jin’s expressions changed drastically. These two sects were the demonic sects of Yue Kingdom and Chang Kingdom, respectively. They probably didn’t come with good intentions. They were not in the mood to continue collecting petals.

The two women quickly returned to Shen Ping’s side.

“Husband, what are these demonic cultivators doing in Maple Forest?”

“I’m not sure. Let’s return to Qingyang City first.”

Soon, his wife and concubines jumped onto the cloud boat and turned into a wisp of green light that disappeared into the forest. However, just as they arrived at the edge of Qingyang East Lake, dozens of lights sped towards Qingyang City from the direction of the Maple Market. When they passed by Shen Ping’s cloud boat, there was a faint smell of blood.

“Fellow Daoist, what happened at Maple Forest Lane?” Shen Ping asked.

One of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators with a broad expression swept over. After sensing Yin Honglian’s mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm and Pei Huoyu’s unfathomable obstruction, he immediately replied respectfully, “Maple Forest Lane was just surrounded by the demonic cultivators of the Luosha Demonic Valley and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. We were lucky to escape. If we were any later, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to escape at all.”

Another cultivator gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “In the past few months, these two demonic sects have stirred up trouble in the Wei Kingdom. They wantonly plundered and killed the rogue cultivators of the various markets. Most of the Fellow Daoists died tragically and were refined into soul flags and corpse puppets, causing everyone to be in a panic. However, the Danxia Sect and the Acacia Faction did not care at all. Now, they actually let them wreak havoc around Qingyang City.”

“I wonder if Qingyang City can withstand it. Unfortunately, other than Qingyang City, it’s very dangerous to go anywhere now!”

Shen Ping frowned. His wife and concubines had mentioned these things during dinner. However, the dozen or so markets around Qingyang City were very calm. He did not expect that not long after, the two demonic sects would actually invade here.

“Qingyang City is different from other markets. This is the only cultivation city in the Wei Kingdom. Moreover, the True Treasure Pavilion is always stationed here. It will definitely be fine.”

“That’s right. The other markets are surrounded and killed by demonic cultivators, but the Luosha Demonic Valley and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect don’t dare to touch the True Treasure Pavilion’s garrison. Qingyang City is very safe!”

The other cultivators also spoke one after another.

After crossing Qingyang Lake, they landed on the long bridge. The cultivators who had escaped from Maple Forest Lane heaved a sigh of relief and their expressions relaxed. They cupped their hands at Pei Huoyu, Shen Ping, Yin Honglian and the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators before quickly stepping into Qingyang City.

“Senior Pei. Demonic cultivators are wreaking havoc here. I wonder if Senior Yun Ya’s Little Spirit Peak is safe?” Shen Ping hurriedly asked.

Pei Huoyu had a calm expression. “There’s no need to worry. Perfected Yun Ya’s methods are much stronger than mine. Furthermore, he has already obtained the true inheritance of the Green Talisman Sutra. Even if a Divine Transformation cultivator comes personally, they won’t be able to do anything to him in a short period of time.

“As for Qingyang City, with you here, the Fire Toad Cave, and the Northern Rock Marsh Region won’t easily let anything happen to this place.

“Furthermore, every main station represents the face of our True Treasure Pavilion. If something happens to the main station, it will undoubtedly be provoking our True Treasure Pavilion. It’s said that there was once an Ancestor Blood Crocodile who wreaked havoc in the twelve countries and even ran to the headquarters. In the end, he was suppressed by a pavilion master of the True Treasure Pavilion!”

Hearing this, Shen Ping’s heart skipped a beat. This Ancestor Blood Crocodile seemed to be the owner of the cave abode ruin in the Cloud Mountain Swamp. Back then, the Nascent Souls of the various large sects seemed to have gathered to fight for the legacy of the Ancestor Blood Crocodile. He did not expect such a powerful cultivator to be suppressed by the Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion.

One had to know that the Pavilion Master was only a second-level expert in the faction at the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. Above him was the Hall Master and a main hall like the Moon Spirit Hall.

“The foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion is really powerful!” He sighed and looked forward to the headquarters. At the same time, he smiled and flicked his sleeve. “Let’s go back to Tongquan Alley..”
