In the main quiet room.
Shen Ping sat cross-legged on a cushion embroidered with silver threads. The mist formed by the spiritual energy vortex around his body surged crazily from his skin and acupoints. Then, it followed his meridians and circulated a small circulation in just an hour.
He opened his eyes. He sensed a trace of Foundation Establishment magic power growing in the meridians in his dantian. He could not help but smile.
In the nearly two years since he returned to the Linhai Immortal City from the Wei Kingdom, after continuous effort day and night, his wind-element mutated spiritual root had long transformed from the jade-grade to an even higher earth-grade. His cultivation speed had greatly increased. Originally, he needed six hours to complete a small circulation cycle, but now, it had been shortened by several times. It was much stronger than the increase from the heaven-grade to the spirit-grade.
He opened the virtual interface. Shen Ping swept his gaze across the attributes of all the spiritual roots.
[Metal Spiritual Root: Jade Grade (110,000/1,200,000)]
[Wood Spiritual Root: Jade Grade (110,000/1,200,000)]
First, it was the dual attributes of metal and wood.
These two spiritual roots had helped him the most when he was at the bottom of his cultivation. If not for the spiritual root attribute he obtained from Bai Yuying, he would not have been able to build his foundation so quickly.
[Water Spiritual Root: Heaven Grade (230,000/600,000)]
[Lightning Spiritual Root: Heaven Grade (230,000/600,000)]
Then, it was the water and lightning attributes. After Mu Jin transformed into the golden frame, the speed of improvement of these two spiritual roots had increased rapidly and had now reached the Heaven Grade.
[Fire Spiritual Root: Heaven Grade (20,000/600,000)]
Next was the fire element. As Yin Honglian’s obsession dissipated, her fire attribute spiritual root, which was originally slowly increasing like a snail, also advanced by leaps and bounds under the daily tempering of the Great Dao.
[Wind Spiritual Root: Earth Spirit Grade (600,000/5,000,000)]
Finally, there was this unique wind-element spiritual root. Although Perfected Qiu’s virtual frame was still silver, with a large number of bonuses, his various attributes increased the fastest. However, after his wife and Dao-companions transformed into gold, the difference would continue to decrease over time.
During this period of time, while they were having sex, Shen Ping had also tried to show more concern for Qiu Ying, but their relationship had never changed. It was as if being deeply in love with him was already Perfected Qiu’s limit.
He was not too disappointed. After all, Perfected Qiu had cultivated for hundreds of years. It was not easy for her to reach this level in time. He had never thought of letting every wife, concubine, and Dao companions be like Wang Yun and Yu Yan.
A moment later, Pei Huoyu arrived as promised. She walked straight to Shen Ping and sat down cross-legged. At close range, her valiant face and skin were clearly visible. With his Foundation Establishment eyesight, he could even see every vein on her red lips.
With such a face, although Shen Ping had seen it many times and had even experienced the most magnificent scenery, there were some beautiful things that he would not hate no matter how long he looked at them.
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shen, for being able to enter the Glory Ranking and reach the 65th place this time. Since I’ve said it before, 1’11 keep my word! If you have any requests, feel free to ask. No matter what it is, I will agree.” Pei Huoyu’s eyes were calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Pink skeleton.
Physical skin.
It seemed that she had long let go and only had the Great Dao of Longevity in her heart. But Shen Ping knew that in the depths of Perfected Pei’s heart, there were still shackles of secular feelings.
He thought for a moment. He was not in a hurry to invite Pei Huoyu to admire the spiritual fruits and water pear paintings on the South Sea. Instead, he smiled and said, “I have a few questions that I want to ask you to solve. I wonder if you can tell me the truth?”
Pei Huoyu nodded calmly. Seeing this, he asked bluntly, “Has Perfected Pei ever thought of having a Dao companion and cultivating immortality together?” “Never.”
“Have you ever thought of dual cultivating with someone one day and having sex with them?”
“No.”
Shen Ping was not surprised. Instead, he continued to ask, “According to the Views of the Gateway, most white tigers are cold on the surface but warm on the inside. Last time, when I discussed the shackles of a cultivator’s body with you, I sensed your fiery and restrained thoughts. I wonder if I can be lucky enough to find out today?”
Pei Huoyu said softly, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I’ve already said that you can do whatever you want.”
Shen Ping smiled. Then, he stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed. Then, he said seriously, “I want to become Dao companions with Perfected Pei. A Dao companion who shares life and death with you and never leaves you.”
Pei Huoyu was silent for a moment. She looked up at Shen Ping and replied, “You already have a wife, concubine, and Dao companions. Why add another set of chopsticks?”
Shen Ping shook his head and did not say anything. What he coveted was not a night of pleasure, but companionship day and night.
At this point, his understanding of the virtual interface had reached a certain level. He knew very well that if he purely dual cultivated, the attribute enhancement effect he would obtain would be very ordinary. Even if Perfected Pei’s cultivation level was not low, it would be of little help to him now.
Moreover, Perfected Qiu’s matter had reminded him that even if he slowly cultivated and improved day and night, silver would probably be his limit.
At first, it was nothing. However, as his strength continued to increase, Perfected Pei would eventually fall far behind his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. This was not what Shen Ping wanted to see.
After ail, Perfected Qiu had a special body that could allow him to obtain a powerful attribute effect like the Mystical Beast Talent. As for Pei Huoyu, who was good at spells and killing, she might not be like this.
Although he could treat everyone equally, there would definitely be slight differences over time. At that time, with his understanding of Pei Huoyu, she would definitely leave. It was precisely because of this consideration that Shen Ping directly asked to become Dao companion with her to knock on her heart.
The quiet room fell silent for a moment, with only the long breathing of the two of them. Pei Huoyu could see the sincerity and determination in Shen Ping’s eyes. She immediately fell into a dilemma.
Before she came, she had made all the preparations, including losing the vital yin that she had accumulated for hundreds of years. However, she did not expect Shen Ping to make such a request.
The word ‘Dao Companion’ was both simple and heavy. The simple thing was that it could be abandoned at will. The heavy thing was that it could make people follow it through life and death.
Pei Huoyu had never seriously considered the issue of Dao companions. But now, she had to think about it seriously. Whether to do it for the sake of the overall situation, or to follow her heart.
Time passed slowly.
It was five o’clock in the evening. The afterglow of the setting sun shone at the door. Pei Huoyu stood up slowly and looked into Shen Ping’s eyes. She said apologetically, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I can remove my armor and even dual cultivate with you. However, if we want to become Dao companions, I… can’t do it. At least, it’s difficult for the time being.”
When she spoke up to this point, she smiled as if she was relieved of a heavy burden. “My thoughts are very simple. 1 just want to protect you and allow you to grow up safely. If I have to investigate carefully, I admit that my responsibility to you has already exceeded the scope of the duty of a Dao Protector, but that’s all.”
Pei Huoyu took a step forward and tiptoed. She kissed Shen Ping’s forehead with her red lips. Her kiss was very light and clumsy. Shen Ping wrapped his arms around her thin waist and looked at her valiant face. He kissed her red lips for ten minutes. When he sensed that the beauty in his arms was about to soften, he let go of his lips and said in a low voice, “Can you do it now?”
Pei Huoyu shook her head. Shen Ping kissed her again. At the same time, a voice sounded. “Abandon all distracting thoughts and empty your mind.”
Twenty minutes later, with all her distracting thoughts gone, Pei Huoyu could not help but reach out and instinctively wrap her arms around Shen Ping’s broad waist. The two of them seemed to have completely forgotten everything.
A long time passed.. When he sensed that Pei Huoyu’s light armor curve was about to collapse, Shen Ping raised his head and asked again, “What about
now?”
