Chapter 161: Goodbye, Wei Kingdom

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An hour later, Shen Ping withdrew his divine sense from the core jade token. His entire body went numb. He did not expect that the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture given by the headquarters would cost 500,000 contribution points!

Although the difficulty of the second volume was far higher than the first two volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra, this required too many contribution points. If he really wanted to break through to the B-rank core, it meant that he needed at least a million contribution points.

This was only because Perfected Pei had directly given him two books of the Green Talisman Sutra.

Until this moment, Shen Ping finally understood how much support he needed. “B-grade core! Sutra scroll!” He came back to his senses. He did not retreat because of this. Instead, he felt excited. He had the Life Divine Talisman. Moreover, he could obtain comprehension in the Dao of Talismans day and night. He had a unique advantage in studying the scripture. If he did not dare to try this, it would be a waste of his wife and concubines’ efforts, and he would be ashamed of his hard work every day.

More importantly, through the contribution points required for the scripture, Shen Ping could vaguely deduce that this scripture probably had an extraordinary background and even involved some huge secret.

Phew.

Ha.

He took several deep breaths in a row, and gradually calmed down. Whether it was to increase his cultivation strength, comprehend and study the Talisman Scripture, or break through to the B-rank core, he had to settle down before formulating a detailed cultivation plan. Now, what he had to do was wait.

He closed his eyes. His spirit platform gradually emptied. In the next two days, time seemed to have slowed down a lot.

The flying ship arrived at dawn.

Shen Ping had long stood in the courtyard and waited. He was wearing a plain brocade robe like when he held the Foundation Establishment banquet.

His wife and concubines also changed into the clothes they wore that day. After taking the Beauty Retaining Pill, their appearances were not tainted by time. All of them were beautiful and gorgeous.

“Husband,” Wang Yun and Bai Yuying’s beautiful faces revealed reluctance. This small courtyard was not only a temporary residence, but it also contained their emotions, ties, and the reluctance to leave their hometown. Now, they were about to leave. They knew very well that it would be difficult for them to return.

“Take a few more looks.” Shen Ping forced a smile. It was said that cultivators were heartless. However, when he really wanted to leave this place, his heart became even heavier. Although it was quite a distance from Cloud Mountain Parlour to Qingyang City, that was still in the Wei Kingdom, a land that he had lived in for more than 30 years and carried emotions.

But this time, he had to leave this homeland.

The sky gradually became clear. The light of dawn shone into the small courtyard bit by bit. It had not changed for years. However, Shen Ping hoped that it would be slower.

As the spiritual fog in the air gradually thinned, Shen Ping’s voice sounded. “Yu Yan, Yun’er, Ying’er, Qing’er, let’s go!”

His wife and concubines quickly walked out of the bedroom. Then, they walked out of the small courtyard. When they turned around, the golden light had already illuminated the entire small courtyard.

Perfected Qiu walked out of the small courtyard next door. It was rare for her to wear a waist-girding Daoist robe. Her black hair was casually tied up, making her look less dignified and more charming.

“All packed?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go.”

Shen Ping walked in front. His wife and concubines followed.

The small courtyard in Tongquan Alley behind them became more and more blurry.

They arrived at the streets of Huiquan Alley when the sky had lit up. On both sides, the withered leaves of the Cloud Fir fell. Chong Ji stood at the entrance with his disciples and waited quietly. Beside them were Mu Jin and Yin Honglian.

“Guest Elder Shen!” When he saw Shen Ping, Chong Ji greeted him warmly.

Shen Ping glanced at it. The disciples behind Chong Ji had an additional girl.

“Fellow Daoist Fu and his wife’s daughter. Guest Elder Shen once asked me to take her in as a disciple. She rented a place in Huiquan Alley. One of the things was this. However, the couple didn’t come. They only asked me to leave with my daughter.”

Shen Ping nodded. Looking at this quiet girl, he sighed. “Senior Chong, the flying ship can still accommodate two people.”

A smile bloomed on the girl’s pretty face. The bell on her wrist rang. “Thank you, Senior Shen.”

After waiting for a moment, Fellow Daoist Fu and Fellow Daoist Le walked over quickly and stood in front of Shen Ping. They cupped their hands and said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen!”

Shen Ping waved his hand and said, “Fellow Daoists, there’s no need to be so polite. After all, we’re neighbors. I’ve also been received by the two of you.” Then, the group followed the streets of Qingyang City and arrived at the city gate. Then, they arrived at the white jade square where the flying ship was parked.

At this moment, Elder Peng and the other guest elders were waiting.

“Guest Elder Shen.”

“Perfected Qiu.”

“Fellow Daoist Chong.”

They exchanged pleasantries. These guest elders instructed their families and Dao companions to board the flying ship one after another.

Shopkeeper Qu was at the back. He sent his Dao Companion to the flying ship and took out a special emblem. “Fellow Daoist Shen, this is my personal token. If you want to understand the situation around the Immortal City, you can go to the nearby Qu Clan.”

Shen Ping looked at the engravings on the coat of arms and immediately understood. So Shopkeeper Qu was from the Qu family of the Linhai Immortal City. After accepting it, he asked, “Fellow Daoist Qu, what about Shopkeeper Ding?”

Shopkeeper Qu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Old Ding is fine at Cloud Mountain Parlour for the time being. If the situation in the Wei Kingdom is really bad, even if the headquarters retreats, they will take the members of the other markets away one by one.”

Shen Ping was slightly relieved. He cupped his hands and said, “In that case, we’ll part ways here!”

Boom!

As the array patterns carved on the edge of the flying ship flickered, the behemoth immediately floated up. Light began to flicker around the railing. Then, multicolored light quickly spread out from the bottom and enveloped the entire flying ship.

Buzz.

The huge flying ship suddenly trembled and sped towards the sky.

Shen Ping stood at the railing and watched as Qingyang City became smaller and smaller in front of him. Then, the outline of Qingyang Lake, which occupied a rather vast area, was completely revealed. However, it quickly shrunk like Qingyang City until it became a point.

“Goodbye, Qingyang City.” He whispered. His wife and concubines stood by his side and looked at the scene below the flying ship in silence.

The flying ship was extremely fast; in just twenty minutes, they arrived at the northern border of the Wei Kingdom.

This was a vast valley. In the valley, a large number of cultivators from the righteous and demonic paths of the 12 countries were fighting with all their might. In such a battlefield where cultivators were everywhere, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators’ strength became negligible.

Shen Ping looked at the valley that was about to be dyed red by blood. Scenes of life in the Wei Kingdom and the cultivators he encountered could not help but appear in front of him.

Under such a situation where the righteous and demonic paths were sweeping through, he didn’t know what the future would be like. However, he knew that this place that nourished countless cultivators would eventually return to calm. Perhaps it would take several years, ten years, or even longer, but it would always calm down.

“Goodbye, Wei Kingdom!”
