The speed of the large flying ship of the True Treasure Pavilion was far from what ordinary Dharma treasures could compare to. It only took a few hours to travel at full speed from the Wei Kingdom’s Qingyang City to the Northern Rock Marsh Region’s Linhai Immortal City. However, Shen Ping had taken the flying ship of the headquarters before, and its speed was even more shocking.

They crossed the border of the Wei Kingdom and entered the territory of Jin Kingdom. Mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, and other sceneries were like floating lights and flashing shadows.

Shen Ping took a few glances before leaving the railing and walking into the pavilion of the flying ship. His wife and concubines followed behind. They still looked a little depressed. They sat on the couch one after another.

Bai Yuying hugged Shen Ping’s arm and asked with slightly red eyes, “Husband, can we still come back?”

Shen Ping hugged Bai Yuying’s waist-length dress and comforted her gently. “When the situation in the Wei Kingdom is stable, we’ll come back if Ying’er wants to. It’ll only take a few hours.”

Hearing this, his wife and concubines recovered slightly.

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Linhai Immortal City has beautiful scenery and a pleasant cultivation environment. I heard from Elder Peng that he will arrange a small courtyard for us when we get there. At that time, each of you will have your own bedroom.

“Moreover, there are special places to raise spirit beasts in the courtyard. There are also spirit fields and medicinal gardens that can grow spirit rice and spirit herbs. Most importantly, there are natural hot springs that one can soak in baths in the courtyard.”

Yu Yan’s eyes lit up. “Husband, is there really a hot spring?”

Shen Ping nodded and swept his gaze across his wife and concubines. He said meaningfully, “Not only do we have it, but the hot spring is not small. It’s enough for us to take a bath together.”

His wife and concubines immediately blushed.

Mu Jin stood on the side of the door and looked at the wife and concubines around Shen Ping with a slightly sad expression. She knew that she was not qualified to live in such a small courtyard.

Yin Honglian stood on the right with a calm expression, as if she did not care at all.

The flying ship sailed steadily.

In the past, the Jin Kingdom was a cold plateau. The temperature here was extremely low, and even cultivators found it difficult to adapt to this place. After crossing the ice plain, they arrived at the Dongling Canyon of the Northern Rock Marsh Region. After crossing several rather famous cultivation places, they arrived at the Linhai Immortal City.

From afar, the city was majestic and towering as if it was standing at the top of a cloud mountain. Around it were mountain peaks that were surrounded by fog like a paradise. These mountain peaks seemed to be covered in a palace that was enveloped by multicolored light. From time to time, rainbow lights would flash, and there were waves of immortal cranes and auspicious beasts dancing.

On the east side of the mountain peak, there was a vast and flowing river that headed west like a flood dragon. On the north side, there was a green forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. In the distance, there seemed to be a dense spiritual fog spreading.

At this moment, the flying ship slowed down. Shen Ping and his wife and concubines walked out of the pavilion and stood at the railing again, looking at the city.

There were a total of four cities in the Northern Rock Marsh Region.

The other three were immortal cities under the jurisdiction of the sects. Only Linhai Immortal City was a place where rogue cultivators gathered. In the past, many rogue cultivators had successfully formed their cores or condensed their Nascent Souls here.

If the Zhongsheng Continent was a cultivation holy land that many cultivators yearned for, then this Linhai Immortal City was a cultivation immortal city that many rogue cultivators in the Northern Rock Marsh Region yearned for.

A moment later, the flying ship circled to the white jade square on the south side of the city and stopped.

“Elder Peng!”

“Elder Qi!”

They alighted from the flying ship.

Elder Qi, who was in charge of the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion here, welcomed him with a smile. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Elder Peng, his gaze landed on Shen Ping. He smiled and said, “This is the new core member of the headquarters of my Southern Flame Continent’s North Rock Marsh Domain, Guest Elder Shen. It’s rare, rare!”

Elder Qi’s eyes swept across Pei Huoyu, and the smile on his face grew wider. “Everyone, you’ve been tired from the journey, so you can rest in the residence arranged in the city first. In a few days, I’ll personally welcome you!”

Shen Ping hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Elder Qi, we’ve just arrived. There’s really no need to be so grand. When we settle down in a few days, 1’11 personally invite the two elders to taste the wine. What do you think, Elder Qi?”

Elder Peng transmitted his voice, “Fellow Daoist Qi, Guest Elder Shen has never liked crowds. 1 think it’s fine to invite some familiar fellow Daoists to accompany Guest Elder Shen for a small gathering. This time, there’s also a Perfected from the headquarters who accompanied Guest Elder Shen.”

Elder Qi was secretly shocked. “Fellow Daoist Peng, it seems that this core member’s potential is not low. Thank you for the reminder. 1 understand what to do.”

The two of them conversed briefly. Elder Qi readily agreed.

Ten minutes later, Shen Ping and the others stood at the city gate of the Linhai Immortal City. Previously, when he looked at the city from afar, he only felt that it was majestic. However, now that he looked up at the tall city gate, the majestic and heavy aura that assaulted his face made him feel small.

“Guest Elder Shen, this immortal city has experienced the vicissitudes of life and has been through storms for a long time. Cultivators who have just arrived will feel a different kind of heavy time, so there’s no need to care.”

Elder Qi smiled, and then he waved his hand, causing numerous jade tokens to float before Shen Ping and the others. “The Immortal City is enveloped by a special grand formation, and only those who possess such an identity jade token can enter and leave freely. Otherwise, they’ll be isolated by the formation, and if they forcefully enter, they’ll suffer the attacks of the patrolling guards.”

He accepted the jade token. Shen Ping and the others stepped into the city gate. Unlike the spiritual energy in Qingyang City that was accompanied by the aura of water, the spiritual energy in this city was naturally abundant. One would feel relaxed and happy when breathing.

Elder Qi called for a few Cloud Beast Carriages. When he sat on it, he introduced, “Linhai Immortal City is the same as most cultivation cities. It has a flight restriction array. Only Perfecteds is qualified to fly in the city. However, the city is too big. When traveling between shops and streets, it’s best to ride such a Cloud Beast Carriage. It can save a lot of time.”

Not long after, they arrived at Liyang Lane, which was at the edge of the city. The families and Dao companions of the guest elders of the Wei Kingdom were arranged here. The headquarters only provided them with a year’s rent.

For example, Elder Peng had also arranged a house for Fellow Daoist Fu and his wife to stay here for the time being on account of Shen Ping.

Then, they rode the Cloud Beast Carriage. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the market where the small courtyard in the city occupied a large area.

Yongyang Market, small courtyard of B-39.

Although it was called a small courtyard, it was actually a small cave abode.

Elder Qi handed Shen Ping the door token and brought him to admire it in the courtyard. He smiled and asked, “Guest Elder Shen, what do you think? If you’re not satisfied, I’ll immediately arrange another courtyard for you.”

His wife and concubines’ eyes lit up as they looked at the surrounding buildings. Spiritual beast section, hot spring pool, medicinal garden, spiritual field, pavilion, pavilion, alchemy hut, talisman room, array pavilion, weapon room.

Shen Ping raised his gaze and could clearly see the immortal-like mountain peak in front of him. The immortal crane’s voice seemed to ring in his ears. This scenery was far incomparable to other residences.

“This is it!” Elder Qi and Elder Peng smiled. “Guest Elder Shen, please settle down first. We’ll take our leave first.”

He personally sent the two elders out. He turned around and saw the excited gazes of his wife and concubines.

“Husband, this place is too good!”

“That’s right!”

“This is simply the cultivation cave abode in my previous dream.”

Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around and finally landed on his wife and concubines. “The bedroom, the wing room, you all have a share. Rest well. I want to have a big meal tonight!”

His wife and concubines smiled knowingly. They chose their rooms one after another. Mu Jin fell behind. The curve of her silver-embroidered butterfly dress was trembling slightly. “H-husband, do I have a share too?”

Shen Ping stepped forward and put his arm around Mu Jin’s waist. The honeydews in front of her clothes pressed heavily against his chest. Looking at her red lips, he raised his hand and pinched her delicate chin. “What do you think? Go back and rest. Remember to change into that silkworm suit.”

Mu Jin immediately felt that her tense legs were wet. Her breathing quickened as she said, “I’ll prepare well. Just wait. I’ll wait for you to tear every inch of the silk robe clean and shatter it.”

Soon, only Shen Ping and Pei Huoyu were left in the spacious courtyard.

“This city is not bad. The courtyard is also quite good. However, when Fellow Daoist Shen is busy with his wife and concubines, don’t forget what you have to do!” Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping and reminded him, “Although cultivators like us yearn for a stable environment, if we are too comfortable, we will inevitably lose our motivation. Every moment we step on the path of the Great Dao, we will fight for it. We will fight with the heavens and ourselves!”

“Laziness, hesitation, stopping… If you can’t overcome these mountains that are blocking the road, you’ll never be able to climb to the Immortal Realm!”

Shen Ping was stunned. Then, he bowed to Pei Huoyu with a serious expression. Those who could say this were mostly good teachers and friends. As his Dao Protector, be it giving him the talisman scripture, asking Perfected Yun Ya for guidance, or reminding him now, it was all a favor.

The quiet room in the small courtyard was divided into three main rooms.

Around three in the afternoon, Shen Ping sat cross-legged on the cushion in the main quiet room and immediately felt an endless stream of pure spiritual energy surging out from the ground of the quiet room.

“At least a high-grade Level Three spiritual energy.” He looked happy. He thought to himself that it was indeed worthy of being a small courtyard in the core of the city. Just the spirit vein connected to this quiet room made countless rogue cultivators yearn for it.

Although he had the blood of a strange beast accompanying him, after the metal and wood attributes transformed into a heaven-grade spiritual root, his need for a cultivation environment became greater and greater. If it was an ordinary spiritual vein, it would waste the advantage of a heaven-grade spiritual root.

He calmed his mind.

As the distracting thoughts disappeared, Shen Ping circulated his cultivation technique. His heaven-grade spiritual roots absorbed the energy of a high-grade level-three spiritual vein like a whale. Even without the help of medicinal pills, spiritual marrow, and other resources, his cultivation speed was very fast.

In just three hours, the meridians in his dantian circulated for a small cycle. At this speed, the Great Circulatory Cycle could be completed in less than twenty four hours. He opened his eyes. His expression was calm. However, his emotions were fluctuating.

Leaving the Wei Kingdom’s Qingyang City seemed to avoid danger, but in fact, it was just a helpless struggle of the weak at the bottom.

Back at Cloud Mountain Parlour, under Ancestor Jinyang’s Blood Sacrificial Array, all he could do was survive in a crack.

In Qingyang City, in the chaotic situation of the cultivators of the righteous and demonic sects, even if he became a core member of the True Treasure Pavilion, he could only escape with his wife and concubines in advance.

“The so-called potential talent is not strength after all!” He sighed faintly. Shen Ping stood up and walked out of the quiet room. If he wanted to get rid of such weakness, he had to work harder..
