Chapter 143: Not a Special Physique

In the small courtyard next door.

The crystal light shone on the majestic curves in front of Perfected Qiu’s long dress. Her graceful and luxurious face was calm as she looked straight ahead. Ever since she came back from the banquet, she had been sitting upright for three days.

Would Guest Elder Shen appear? She wasn’t sure. The only thing she could do was wait. After all, she had already said everything she needed to say when she tasted the wine that day.

The spiritual fog in the courtyard became denser. Perfected Qiu’s gaze could still see through the fog. At this moment, two sets of footsteps were heard. The long-awaited figure appeared. Perfected Qiu took a step and flashed to the entrance of the small courtyard.

“Guest Elder Shen. I’ve been waiting for a long time. Please!” Her graceful temperament was more charming and enchanting.

Pei Huoyu stood in the courtyard. Shen Ping followed Perfected Qiu straight into the house. In the bedroom, the purple and pink jade bed was elegant. Shen Ping’s gaze quickly swept across and landed on Perfected Qiu’s purple orchid dress. He was a little nervous.

The person in front of him was a mid-stage Golden Core female cultivator. If she could take on the position of an elder in the sect, she would be ranked first among the auction hosts in the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion.

“Senior Qiu. How many days have you worn this dress?”

Perfected Qiu smiled charmingly. “I have been wearing it for three days, waiting for Guest Elder Shen to personally help change it today. Its material is a translucent gauze dress with a soft texture. I wonder if Guest Elder Shen has such material in his spirit ring?”

When Shen Ping heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, “Senior Qiu is a Golden Core Daoist. That gauze dress should be relatively special. Although I have it in my spirit ring, I don’t know the exact style.”

Perfected Qiu did not say anything. Instead, she bowed elegantly and slowly took out the pattern of the gauze dress from the material of the purple orchid dress. “This is the style. Guest Elder Shen, you can take a closer look.”

Shen Ping took a deep breath. The translucent gauze dress had cloud patterns woven from special silk. There were also some curved shadows along the lines of the cloud patterns. It was indeed rare. He flipped through it several times seriously. He took a step forward and cupped his hands. “Perfected Qiu, 1’11 help you change the material now.”

“Okay!”

There was a slight tremble in her charming voice.

A moment later, the dusty spirit wine was opened. The fragrance filled the air.

Perfected Qiu’s eyes slowly closed. “Guest Elder Shen, my Golden Core’s magic power has been temporarily sealed by some means. There’s no need to worry about losing control of my magic power. You can use it as much as you want.”

Shen Ping lowered his waist.

Boom!

Before he could feel it, the blood of the strange beast in his body gathered crazily as if it had smelled fresh prey. Almost instantly, the skin on his face and entire body became burning red, as if he had just absorbed the blood of the strange beast.

Immediately after, waves of numbness spread from the bottom to the top of his body. Shen Ping stared fixedly at the side of the jar where Perfected Qiu had opened the spirit wine. The blood of the strange beast seemed to be boiling.

In an instant, his head felt hot. He could not help but shiver. However, Shen Ping did not care about the awkwardness. Instead, he immediately sat down cross-legged and quickly circulated his cultivation technique.

An hour later, the strange beast’s blood calmed down and hid in the depths of its body again. His divine sense seeped into his dantian. He was shocked to discover that his magic power had increased by a little.

Normally, meditation required a large circulation of the meridians to barely increase a trace of Foundation Establishment magic power. Even so, it was considered very fast. But now, it had reached this level before completing the Minor Heavenly Circulation.

Shen Ping was a little confused. He raised his gaze to look at Perfected Qiu. Perfected Qiu did not move. She said apologetically, “Guest Elder Shen, it’s been a long time since I’ve had sex. I might be a little unwell.”

Shen Ping asked in a low voice, “Does Senior Qiu have any special physique?”

Perfected Qiu was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “My talent is not outstanding. I was able to cultivate until now mainly because of the resources of the True Treasure Pavilion. I don’t have any special physique.”

Shen Ping frowned slightly. If it wasn’t a special physique, how could it cause the blood of the strange beast to boil? He opened the virtual interface and scanned it. As expected, there were no new virtual frames. He hadn’t even crossed the threshold just now.

He hesitated and got up again and said in a low voice, “Again!” He repeated it five or six times. Shen Ping was puzzled. Even if this Perfected Qiu had a special physique, it was impossible for him to not even have a virtual frame.

“Guest Elder Shen should be too nervous. After all, I’m a Golden Core cultivator. This is very normal.” Perfected Qiu comforted him and took out a pot of Foundation Establishment spirit wine. “Why don’t you drink a cup of spirit wine to relieve yourself first?”

“Okay!” Several cups of spirit wine entered his stomach. Shen Ping did not try to turn into a flood dragon again. Instead, he whispered.

Perfected Qiu’s graceful face flushed red as she bit her lower lip and said, “I haven’t had one yet. Please take pity on me, Guest Elder Shen.”

This time, apart from the tyrannical physique of a Golden Core Daoist, nothing else happened.

It was nine in the morning. Shen Ping walked out of the bedroom. His eyes swept to the virtual interface again, and there was finally a new change.

[You have dual cultivated with your Dao Companion 7 times. You have obtained wind-element mutant spiritual root +28. You have obtained Talisman Dao Experience +28.]

[Current Dao Companion Favorability: 80]

[Duo Cultivation Bonus: 2]

[Unknown Bonus: 30]

[Unknown Additional Effect: 0]

[Immersion effect: 0]

[Wind Spiritual Root (Pseudo): Low-grade (True) (1,680/40,000)]

[Talisman Master: High-grade Level Two (510,000/600,000)]

After reading it, Shen Ping fell into deep thought. He still remembered that when he obtained Yu Yan’s effect, even if he did not succeed, it still displayed the special effect of the Inner Charm Fire Body. However, this time, there was an unknown bonus and effect.

It was obvious.

Perfected Qiu did not have a problem with her physique, but it was because of the specialness of the spirit wine jar. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to cause a commotion in the blood of the strange beast.

The blood of strange beasts was a restricted resource of the True Treasure Pavilion. It was probably extraordinary to be able to trigger such a level. Perfected Qiu changed into a brownish-purple dress and walked out. She smiled charmingly and said, “Guest Elder Shen, how does the spirit wine here taste compared to the banquet?”

Shen Ping laughed dryly. “Senior Qiu, 1 wasn’t prepared last night. I’ll definitely be able to taste it properly next time.” As he spoke, he glanced at the majestic curve. It was a round watermelon, which was even more majestic than sweet grapefruit. He did not have the time to comprehend it last night.

Perfected Qiu’s eyes flickered. “At the end of the day, this small courtyard will be open for Guest Elder Shen.”

Shen Ping nodded and asked, “When will the auction be held once every five years?”

“Early October.” Perfected Qiu’s smile became even more charming. She took a few steps forward and kissed Shen Ping’s cheek. “With your words, I don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll personally preside over this grand auction. When the time comes, I’ll keep what Guest Elder Shen gave me.”

Shen Ping’s heart warmed. He thought to himself that she was indeed worthy of being a Golden Core Daoist who had experienced time. Her every move was filled with charm.

Back in the small courtyard, Pei Huoyu stared at Shen Ping a few more times. “Your magic powers have increased.”

“It’s the blood of a strange beast. Last night, when I was tasting wine with Perfected Qiu, the blood of that strange beast was surprisingly boiling. Does Senior Pei know why?” Shen Ping asked humbly.

Pei Huoyu was stunned, and a hint of confusion flashed across her brows. “Wine tasting can cause the blood of strange beasts to boil… I’ve never heard of it. Perhaps it has something to do with you absorbing the complete blood. However, no matter what the reason is, it’s really rare for you to be able to increase your magic power when tasting wine.

“The Zhongsheng Continent has a top-notch dual cultivation technique, but it also needs to accumulate over time. You can taste it again tonight. If you can continuously cause changes in the blood of the strange beast, the time you take to break through to the Golden Core Realm should be greatly reduced.” As she spoke, her eyes were filled with curiosity.

Shen Ping hurriedly said, “I’ve already remembered Senior Pei’s teachings a while ago. 1 don’t dare to be too immersed in sex. Moreover, in two or three days, the Talisman Master that Senior Pei invited from the headquarters will arrive.”

When Shen Ping said this, Pei Huoyu could not help but feel that it was a little strange. She thought for a moment and suddenly realized something. She smiled faintly and said, “It does consume a lot of energy for Fellow Daoist Shen to taste wine and a Golden Core Daoist. In that case, you should taste it in the future. Fellow Daoist Shen, you can nourish your body these few days. Your alcohol tolerance is not good. There’s indeed no need to force yourself, to avoid damaging the foundation!”

With that, Pei Huoyu walked briskly towards the quiet room.

Shen Ping’s face flushed red. He was not good in other aspects, but in terms of alcohol tolerance, he had never been afraid! Just as he was about to defend himself, he could not help but recall the pressure from before. He swallowed the words he was about to say.

“Just you wait! In the future, I’ll definitely let you know how good my alcohol tolerance is!”

Four days later, a flying ship exclusive to the True Treasure Pavilion flew quickly in the sky above the Wei Kingdom.

At the railing, the elegant and calm man with the emblem of the mountain flame on his left shoulder looked down at the scenery below the flying ship. “I’ve been in the Zhongsheng Continent for so long that I’ve almost forgotten the environment of this spiritual energy barren land. It’s really not easy for a core member to be born in such a place!” As he sighed, Qingyang City was already right in front of him..
