“How much do these cost?”
“Big brother, it only cost 30 cloud coins.”
“I have five taels of silver here. Can you help me send these flowers to the entrance of the Shen residence on Jinhua Street?”
The little girl in plain clothes blinked and counted on her fingers. “Big Brother, you’re giving too much. I don’t need so much. From here to Jinhua Street, the usual errand boy only needs ten cloud coins.”
Shen Ping squatted down and looked at the little girl with a smile. “I know, so these five taels of silver are not just to buy these flowers. In the future, you have to send flowers over every month. How about that?”
The little girl beamed with joy. “Thank you, Big Brother. I’ll send the flowers to the Shen residence now.” After saying that, she turned around and left without hesitation.
Yun Country’s capital was rich. But only for those with money. After thousands of years of acc.u.mulation, the wealth gap between the poor and the influential was very large, and in the capital, ordinary people needed several taels of silver to live a year.
He sighed.
After shopping, he returned to the mansion and placed the flowers sent by the little girl in the courtyard of the bedroom. This mansion was bought in the second year after entering the capital. It’s not cheap. However, with Shen Ping’s strength, he could afford it.
Not to mention that he was now a seven-star Luminarist. Even if he did nothing, the salary given by the Yun Country’s royal court every year was two hundred taels. This was not even counting the annual salary given by the government office in the capital city.
As long as the luminarists did not act recklessly, they would not lack money.
When Yang Yimo came, Shen Ping asked, “Yimo, I want to know about Princess Yunyang.”
Yang Yimo hesitated for a moment. “Princess Yunyang died of illness more than five years ago. I wanted to tell you at that time, but you rarely returned to the residence at that time.”
“Died of illness? How could a Luminarist die?”
“I think she was infected with a kind of poison. I don’t know the details. My Yang family also sent people to the Yan Kingdom to investigate, but we didn’t find anything. The imperial court also sent people, but they also didn’t gain anything.”
“I see,” Shen Ping said softly and did not ask further. When Yang Yimo left, he teleported to the little girl’s house. It was a courtyard house. Several families have rented to live together.
The little girl and her mother depended on each other, but her mother was ill and could not go out to work. She could only rely on the little girl to sell flowers every day to maintain the lowest survival of food and drink.
“Body of a Flame Beast,” Shen Ping muttered. His true soul power covered the surroundings, and he could not sense the slightest energy of the bloodline of the strange beast. From the little girl’s family, it was impossible for her to come into contact with a precious tribute like the Blood Jade.
Which meant, the little girl’s Body of Flame Beast was naturally nurtured, or perhaps it was pa.s.sed down from reincarnation. He thought of the reincarnation of the Spirit Race’s Immortal King, Ling Die, who also had one of the ten special physiques. At that time, he only thought that it was because of her special physique.
But looking at it now, it’s probably not.
“If the longevity lamp is a predestined talent, then are the ten special physiques also predestined?”
Shen Ping stared at the little girl. His true soul power enveloped and permeated it. He could clearly sense the other party’s weak spiritual soul power, even the true spirit in the depths of her soul power. However, he could not see any true spirit aura similar to Princess Yunyang.
He frowned. Today, when he saw that the little girl had the Body of a Flame Beast, he thought of Princess Yunyang. That was why he asked about Princess Yunyang. If she was still alive, it meant that the same ten special physiques were not unique. However, she had died of illness. Clearly, this little girl was very likely the reincarnation of Princess Yunyang.
Even though he could not sense it from his true soul, Shen Ping’s intuition told him that the little girl must be the reincarnation of Princess Yunyang. He arrived at the house where the infatuated man and resentful woman were reincarnated.
He checked again. Surprisingly, he could not see any similarities between their true spirits and before they reincarnated. However, through the methods of the Great Dao of the Reincarnation, he knew that the two people in front of him were the reincarnations of the infatuated man and the resentful woman.
Logically speaking, no matter how they reincarnated, their spiritual and soul power would change, but their true spirits would not.
Just like him. No matter how many times he reincarnated in the palace world, his true spirit aura was the same, including his wife and concubines. This was also the reason why he could recognize their reincarnation bodies.
“Could it be that once you die and reincarnate, your true spirit will completely change? It will no longer be a different form of you?” Shen Ping pondered for a moment and shook his head. If everything changed and he became a complete stranger, then how could the methods of the Reincarnation Dao trace back to a person’s reincarnation, including fate?
Forget about that, what kind of power was it that allowed the ten special physiques as well as the longevity lamp talent to be pa.s.sed down through reincarnation? He used to think of it as a true spirit. Whether it was reincarnation or fate, they were all influenced by true spirits. But now, he was confused. After the death of the human body, the true spirit of the reincarnation had also changed.
Shen Ping, who could not figure it out, could only suppress these doubts for the time being. He had a feeling that once he could comprehend the true essence of these things, he would have a qualitative improvement in the heaven and earth, world, and various Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It might even be in terms of fate.
That is, if he’s right.
Hence, he continued to observe.
One year.
Two years.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years pa.s.sed.
Yang Yimo had always been by Shen Ping’s side. The Yang family had also tacitly allowed Yang Yimo to stay in Shen Ping’s residence. Although the two of them did not have any physical intimacy or other means of relationship, in the eyes of many people, the two of them were husband and wife.
