Longevity begins with marrying a wife

Private room on the second floor.

Waited for half an hour.

Shopkeeper Qu walked in belatedly, took a sip of spiritual tea, sat down and said with a smile, "I told Deacon Jindan something, so Master Shen Fu has been waiting for a long time."

Shen Ping said hurriedly, "Shopkeeper Qu is very polite. I didn't wait long."

When Shopkeeper Qu was about to ask what was going on, his eyes lit up and he said, "Master Shen Fu's body is full of spiritual power and aura is thick and round. Is this the time when he has completed his Qi training?"

"Haha, congratulations, congratulations!"

He seemed even happier than Shen Ping.

Shen Ping said helplessly, "Shopkeeper Qu, I'm here just for this matter. I wonder what the specific conditions are for the Talisman Master's special guest examination?"

We've had several conversations before.

Shopkeeper Qu couldn’t even explain it in detail.

This time he tried to make a second-level mid-grade talisman and found a problem, so he came over to ask for more information. If it was really impossible to achieve it, he could only give up and build a foundation.

After all, he is not young anymore.

There can be no further delay.

Shopkeeper Qu did not respond, but stood up with enthusiasm and said, "Master Shen Fu, Qu only knows a little bit about the conditions involved in the examination of special guest ministers. The only people stationed at the Zhenbao Tower in Qingyang City are deacons and above. It’s really clear, and you have to apply to the deacon for the assessment.”

"Come on, I'll take you to the deacon."

Shen Ping was startled and couldn't help but said, "Meet Deacon Xia?"

Above the guests in Zhenbao Tower is the deacon.

The minimum level of cultivation for those who can become a deacon must be Jindan Zhenren.

Yunshanfang time.

Although he has met deacons, elders, and even Yuanying level elders.

But it was just an acquaintance.

When I arrived in Qingyang City, I could only see deacons, first-class and second-class guests when I was notified. Usually, let alone deacons and elders, even second-class guests were rare to see, and it was impossible to make friends with them. .

Now I suddenly have to deal with Master Jin Dan.

to be honest.

He was a little nervous.

Shopkeeper Qu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Deacon Xia is gentle with others. Besides, you are applying for the Special Guest Examination. If Deacon Xia knew about it, he would definitely give his full support. This is a big deal for the general station."

See this.

Shen Ping took a deep breath and then followed.

Master Jindan is rarely in Zhenbao Tower.

However, there was something going on in the building today, and Shopkeeper Qu had been delayed in coming because of this.

Therefore, Deacon Xia happened to be in the backyard room.

Of course even if he is not here.

Shopkeeper Qu could only take Shen Ping for a few more walks.

The door of the wing.

The aura of golden elixir mana rushed towards his face.

"Deacon Xia."

"What's the matter?"

A gentle voice came from the door.

Shopkeeper Qu didn't say anything, but gave Shen Ping a look.

Shen Ping hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands and raised his voice, "Junior, third-class talisman master guest of Zhenbao Tower, Shen Ping, I came here today to apply for the examination of special guest master..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Deacon Xia's figure was already standing at the door. His mana aura was restrained, and he glanced at Shen Ping with piercing eyes, "I know you. You can pass the Talisman Master assessment in Yunshanfang during the Qi training period. Your Talisman Dao level is Not bad, but do you know what the minimum requirements are for applying for the Talisman Special Examination?"

The last sound rang in Shen Ping's ears.

Shen Ping's own spiritual power was running rapidly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He suppressed the restless spiritual power and said slowly and solemnly, "Senior Qu once told me that he needs to make a second-level low-grade talisman seal during the Qi training period!"

As he spoke, he released a trace of his foundation-building stage consciousness.

Deacon Xia suddenly smiled and said, "Come in."

The two of them walked into the wing one after another.

Shopkeeper Qu was still standing respectfully outside the door.

"sit."

"Senior Xie Xia!"

Shen Ping was half sitting on the chair, leaning forward slightly with a respectful expression.

The person in front of me is Jin Dan Zhenren.

And being able to serve as a deacon at the headquarters is something that ordinary golden elixirs simply cannot do.

Deacon Xia said in a gentle voice, "Shen Keqing, you already know the minimum requirements for the special examination, and you have the foundation-building consciousness during the Qi training period. Presumably, you can make the second-level low-grade talisman seal, but you need to pass the examination to truly pass the examination. The conditions are much more stringent.”

Shen Ping held up his hand and said, "Senior Xia, please inform me."

Deacon Xia said bluntly, "Every special guest is the core of our Zhenbao Tower. Therefore, all applicants will first undergo a qualification assessment. The evaluators need five golden elixir masters, three of whom must be second-level high-grade talisman masters." Ability."

"After your qualifications are confirmed, the headquarters will send a Nascent Soul elder to escort you to a location. There, you will need to take three assessments. If you pass all three, you will receive a special guest wooden card, but this is only temporary..."

Shen Ping was secretly stunned when he heard this. Although he guessed that the special examination would be very strict, he didn't expect it to be so complicated. The qualification examination alone would require assessment by Jin Dan.

At this moment.

He had a vague feeling that this special guest was really not that simple.

"Shen Keqing, if you have any doubts, it's okay to ask."

Deacon Xia said seriously.

The Zhenbao Building General Station has been stationed in Qingyang City for so many years. It is not that there have been no special guest applicants, but more than 90% of them have not even passed the qualification assessment. As for the further three assessments, none of them succeeded.

even so.

Every time he met an applicant, Deacon Xia would explain everything in detail.

Shen Ping raised his eyes and asked, "Senior Xia, I wonder what conditions are required for this qualification and the three subsequent assessments, such as the quantity and efficiency of making second-level low-grade talisman seals..."

Deacon Xia shook his head gently, "I have no way of knowing the content of the assessment. I only know that it seems to be different every time."

Shen Ping couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he quickly asked, "Senior Xia, how long will the assessment last? To be honest with you, this junior is already old. If he is over sixty, I'm afraid it will be difficult to build the foundation."

Deacon Xia glanced at Shen Ping.

Almost instantly.

Shen Ping felt a spiritual consciousness coming towards him, his face was calm but his heart was slightly nervous.

"You are indeed not young anymore."

"But it's okay."

"As far as I know, the assessment can last up to two years. If it goes well, it will only take one year, or even half a year."

Deacon Xia smiled and said, "Keqing Shen, do you have any questions?"

Shen Ping stood up and bowed, "Juniors all know this. Thank you, Senior Xia, for your patience in explaining."

"So do you want to apply for the special guest minister qualification examination now?"

Hear this.

Shen Ping said solemnly, "Yes!"

Deacon Xia put his hands on his hands and said, "Okay, please go back and wait patiently. I will arrange this matter immediately. When the other evaluators of the golden elixir respond, I will ask Fellow Daoist Qu to send a message to you. It will take a month at most. I will look after you during this period." Be fully prepared.”

…

The entrance of Zhenbao Building.

Shopkeeper Qu personally delivered it.

"Master Shen Fu."

"The relationship between special guests is very important, and even this qualification assessment must be taken seriously."

"If you can actually pass the qualification, you will benefit a lot."

Hear the voice transmission.

Shen Ping cupped his hands and responded, "Senior Xie Qu for reminding me."

Return to the small courtyard in Huiquan Lane.

The wives and concubines have not returned from Nancheng yet.

He sat alone in the hall with his eyes closed and thought back to what Deacon Xia said. A surge of enthusiasm slowly arose in his heart. He had been working hard for ten years, and he had never slacked off or hesitated. Even though he was tired and tired, , but gritted his teeth and persisted.

Frost, rain and snow.

Sun and wind.

There was never a moment when Dao’s heart was shaken.

It is precisely because of this that he has such a level of talismans.

And in one month it will be time for fire to refine gold!

Suddenly he opened his eyes.

Shen Ping swung his sleeves and robe and stepped out of the hall into the talisman-making room.

Regardless of whether it can leap over the dragon's gate.

He must be fully prepared.

…

The days passed.

In addition to his dual cultivation, Shen Ping spent the rest of his time in the talisman-making room, so that he could always maintain his proficiency in the talisman and seal.

Just like that, a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is Mao hour.

He first prayed for blessings and meditated, then put on a brand new embroidered plain white robe and stood in the Talisman Making Room, while his wives and concubines carefully arranged his hair, eyebrows, and cleaned up any blemishes on his face, and then removed every part of the robe. Textures are checked several times.

The rest of the time.

The wives and concubines stayed with Shen Ping.

Yu Yan stood guard at the entrance of the small courtyard.

They know that today is the most important day for their husbands.

The sky gradually turned white.

The morning dew is fragrant on the tips of the young leaves of the jujube trees in the small courtyard.

When a ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and sprinkled onto the small courtyard.

Shen Ping's communication talisman shook slightly.

Shopkeeper Qu’s voice quickly rang out.

"The qualifications for special guests begin."

"Master Shen Fu is invited to come to the Zhenbao Building for an assessment!"

Shen Ping, who remained standing, took a deep breath.

Step out of the Talisman Making Room.

The wives and concubines followed.

The moment he stepped out of the small courtyard.

"Husband!"

Wang Yun called Shen Ping to stop.

Look back.

Suddenly he saw Yu Yan, Wang Yun, Bai Yuying, and Luo Qing clenching their hands into fists and waving towards him.

"come on!"

He added silently in his mind.

Then he walked forward resolutely with a smile.

…

True treasure building.

In the past, there were many monks entering and exiting the threshold, but today it was deserted.

Shopkeeper Qu was waiting at the door.

Seeing a familiar figure not far away, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Qu."

"How can I trouble you to welcome me in person? I really don't dare do it!"

Shen Ping smiled bitterly.

Shopkeeper Qu shook his head, "Master Shen Fu, you only need to remember one thing today. Pass the test seriously and with all your strength. Don't worry about anything else."

Finally, he said, "Don't be affected."

"Walk!"

Shopkeeper Qu led Shen Ping across the threshold.

Wow.

Almost instantly.

All eyes came together.

There was no breath at all, and no spiritual pressure at all.

But Shen Ping felt a heavy pressure like a mountain.

The third-class guests stood on both sides.

Look at him with a smile on your face.

Following Shopkeeper Qu, I walked all the way. As soon as I stepped into the backyard, the pressure suddenly increased ten thousand times.

Second-class guest.

First class guest.

Even the Jindan real person, Deacon Xia, stood at the door of the small courtyard hall.

There was curiosity, smiles, doubts, and disdain in their eyes.

All kinds of emotions pile up.

Even though there was not a breath or a sound.

But this kind of silence made Shen Ping's every step feel like he was stepping on a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire.

Shopkeeper Qu leads the way.

But Shen Ping understood what the other party's previous words meant.

Don't be affected.

Face this silent pressure.

How could he, a Qi Practitioner, not be affected?

"nobody."

"None of them are human."

Shen Ping kept hinting in his heart. He looked at Shopkeeper Qu and couldn't help but secretly thought that it would be better if it was Mu Jin.

He walked with difficulty to the door of the hall.

Deacon Xia said with a smile, "Go in."

Shopkeeper Qu stood aside and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Shen Ping nodded and stepped in.

Unexpectedly, there was a beautiful woman sitting in the hall, with a slight smile on her lips. She was wearing a brown-purple round-neck silver silk brocade robe, and her exquisite and enchanting figure was undoubtedly highlighted.

She stood up and took a few steps, her round outline trembling slightly, "Ke Qing Shen, I am responsible for the qualification assessment for special guest guests. I will be with you throughout the whole process. If you have any questions, you can ask."

"Come with me."

As she spoke, she twisted her waist, and her black hair was even more majestic and round.

Shen Ping followed slowly.

His eyes fell on the round material and he looked at it carefully, and the nervous pressure in his heart quickly melted away.

He smiled with relief.

When we came to the second room on the left side of the hall, the furnishings and layout were almost exactly the same as the last time we conducted the third-class guest evaluation.

The beautiful woman stopped and turned sideways, her charming face seemed to smile a little more.

"Shen Keqing."

"There are three second-level talisman and seal materials on the jade table. You just need to successfully make them."

"This is just the first step."

Listen to the beautiful woman.

Shen Ping looked at Jade Table.

He was very familiar with these three materials, namely the Armor Spirit Talisman, the Thunder Light Talisman, and the Falling Flame Talisman.

But only three copies.

This means he has to get it right the first time.

"Senior, is there any time limit?"

"No."

“You just have to make it successfully to pass this first step.”

Shen Ping nodded and walked to the jade table.

He closed his eyes for a moment.

Then pray quietly again.

When he mentioned the talisman pen, he immersed himself in making the talisman without hesitation.

On the right side of the hall.

Five golden elixir masters were sitting together in a room.

They looked at the screen with a little surprise. In addition to testing the applicant's level of talismans, the special guest qualification assessment also required some simple tests on the applicant's character.

From the moment you step onto the threshold of the True Treasure Building, the character assessment begins.

Facing second-class and first-class guests who are all higher than oneself in cultivation, the invisible pressure is difficult for ordinary people to bear. Even tough people will feel pressure and need to adjust their mental state, but this person in front of him is Pretty fast.

But no one spoke.

They watched carefully.

The level of character is passed, but the next step of making the talisman is not so easy.

Because no one can guarantee that all the talisman seals will be made in one go, and there are only three materials in front of you. Even a second-level mid-level talisman master in the foundation building stage may not be able to pass safely.

So this step requires both strength and luck.

The hand feels the best.

Then it will be successful.

…

Shen Ping has been making talisman seals for a month. Now when he is outlining the first spiritual pattern, the habit that is so familiar that it is almost engraved in his muscles and blood comes with the talisman pen.

He has no distractions.

There are only talismans in front of me.

this moment.

He seemed to be in a scene where the golden light broke through, standing in front of the jade table day after day making talismans and seals. Regardless of success or failure, all that was left was the talismans and seals.

All the guests in the small courtyard left.

But some of them didn't leave, so they sat in the side room and drank tea.

"The last qualification assessment was probably more than two hundred years ago."

"It's a pity that the one who got the qualification still didn't pass!"

"Special guest... There are twelve countries including Wei, Jin, Yue, etc., but none of them have appeared in the past thousand years. It's hard to get one!"

"Yes, even this qualification is extremely difficult."

Several second-class guests chatted with each other.

They immediately looked at Shopkeeper Qu.

Shopkeeper Qu shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Taoists, don't look at me. Qu doesn't know whether Shen Keqing can pass!"

Some people couldn't help but say, "If it passes, Shopkeeper Qu will have established a good relationship in advance."

The other guests laughed meaningfully.

Shopkeeper Qu said, "It's just an acquaintance. Let's taste tea. It will probably take a few days!"

"I'll just wait and see if nothing happens."

…

inside the house.

The beautiful woman standing behind Shen Ping became more and more surprised in her eyes.

She really didn't expect that the qi talisman practitioner in front of her could enter the state so quickly.

When entering the house first.

She was naturally aware of the different look, even the look was very hot.

that moment.

The beautiful woman knew in her heart that the applicant this time would fail.

But now there are only five spiritual patterns left in the first thunder talisman.

In particular, the opponent's control over the talisman was extremely strong. His talisman pen never slowed down from the beginning to the end. It was obvious that the applicant had already become proficient in making this thunder talisman.

moment.

Shen Ping put away his talisman pen.

The complex spiritual pattern circuit of the thunder talisman flickered in an instant, and the special talisman paper and blood ink reacted quickly and merged with the spiritual pattern.

The first one was successful!

"Congratulations!"

When Shen Ping took the elixir.

The beautiful woman said with a smile.

"Thanks."

Shen Ping closed his eyes and replied.

And the room on the right.

After seeing the first thunder talisman successfully written.

There was finally a sound in the room.

"good."

"Alright."

"good."

It soon became quiet again.

After Shen Ping's spiritual power and spirit were completely restored, he did not rush to write. Instead, he stood up and walked around the room.

The beautiful woman smiled, secretly thinking that she was still nervous, but she soon noticed that the qi talisman practitioner's peripheral vision glanced at her brown-purple dress again, especially lingering on the round outline for several more times.

She felt both funny and speechless in her heart.

Just when he was about to speak to remind him to focus, the peripheral vision moved away.

soon.

Shen Ping came to the jade table again and worked hard to make talismans.

For the second material, he chose the Armor Spirit Talisman.

Even though it has been made many times.

But the Armor Spirit Talisman is much more difficult than the Thunder Light Talisman, and the chance of failure is not low.

However, Shen Ping, who was not under any pressure, waved the talisman pen with a relaxed expression and quickly sketched the spiritual pattern on the talisman paper.

Time passed quietly.

The second Armor Talisman was successfully produced in one go!

Inside the house on the right.

The five golden elixir masters showed a look of surprise one after another.

The armor spirit talisman was completed in one go.

How valuable it is!

"very good!"

"not bad."

"The character is okay."

"It seems that this first step is okay!"

"really."

There were two more voices in the room than the first time.

Then it was quiet again.

…

In the small courtyard wing.

The waiting guests were still patient, and even looked forward to it on their faces.

Because the longer the time, the closer the person who is being assessed is to success.

But none of them showed anything.

After all, it's still early.

…

The third copy of the Falling Flame Talisman is easier.

Although Shen Ping did not complete it in one go like the Armor Spirit Talisman again, the time it took was nearly half less than the Thunder Light Talisman.

When the spiritual patterns flashed and disappeared on the talisman paper.

The beautiful woman's voice echoed, "Congratulations, congratulations to Shen Keqing for passing the first step!"

Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saluted solemnly, "Thank you, senior!"

The beautiful woman was startled, and then reminded with a dumb smile: "Shen Keqing, don't worry, restore your spiritual energy first, the second step is more difficult."

Shen Ping nodded, quickly took the elixir, closed his eyes and meditated.

This time three whole days have passed.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful woman, "Senior, the second step can begin!"

The beautiful woman's face showed a charming smile, and she waved her palm gently.

The jade table in the house disappeared.

Then another jade table was displayed.

"Shen Keqing."

"The second step requires you to make a special talisman."

"It doesn't matter how many times you fail this time, as long as you succeed in the end."

…

Finally got on board! ! The two become one and cannot be separated.
