Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 11 Water Control Talent

Chapter 11 Water Control Talent (Please continue reading)

In the days that followed, Shen Xuan seemed to have forgotten about getting married.

When selling talismans and purchasing materials for making talismans at the shop, Manager Ding reminded him several times, but Shen Xuan was completely unaware.

"Shen Xuan really doesn't want to get married!"

Manager Ding sighed inwardly, repeatedly expressing his regret.

He was aware of Shen Xuan's improved skill in using the Water Control Talisman.

At this rate, it won't be long before one can achieve a 30% success rate in creating talismans and become a mid-grade talisman master.

This is a mid-grade talisman master.

With gradual honing of his skills, he can earn three hundred spirit stones a year solely through the [Water Control Talisman] technique.

No matter which Foundation Establishment cultivation family you're in, you can secure a position as an honorific.

If Shen Xuan weren't a bit too old, he would have wanted to marry his granddaughter, who had a low-grade spiritual root, to him.

"The family elders are too slow! If it were when she had just broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, she might have accepted the Ding family female cultivator with inferior spiritual roots."

"Now, Shen Xuan is on the path to becoming a mid-grade talisman master, and his ambitions have grown."

Shopkeeper Ding thought that Shen Xuan's refusal of his proposal was a sign that he was waiting for a better offer and wanted to find a better partner.

For a mid-level talisman master, just past sixty years old is nothing special.

As long as one can consistently earn spirit stones, finding a young female cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root is a piece of cake.

"Fortunately, his talismans are sold in my shop, and the materials are also purchased from my shop, so he can at least make some contribution to the Ding family."

Shen Xuan had no choice but to accept this.

His schedule was packed, and he didn't want to waste time and energy just to earn a few more spirit stones.

As the number of transactions between Zhao Chunsheng and Zhao Chunsheng increased, the two gradually became familiar with each other and established a certain level of trust.

Hearing that Zhao Chunsheng liked to drink some spirit wine, Shen Xuan specially bought a pot of Pear Blossom Wine.

A low-grade first-level spirit wine costs two spirit stones per pot.

Zhao Chunsheng delivered bluefin bream once again.

After paying with spirit stones, Shen Xuan invited him to stay for a simple meal at his home.

Zhao Chunsheng readily agreed.

Shen Xuan drank tea instead of wine with Zhao Chunsheng.

A pot of spirit wine was soon consumed by Zhao Chunsheng.

Slightly tipsy, he started chatting with Shen Xuan.

It turned out that after Zhao Chunsheng broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he paved the way for his two sons.

He was lucky; both of his sons had spiritual roots, and they were even mid-grade spiritual roots.

The eldest son has a talent for alchemy and is studying alchemy under a top-grade alchemist.

The second son is fond of crafting artifacts and works as an apprentice in a shop run by a high-grade artifact craftsman.

She has two sons, and she has to pay a large sum of money for their tuition every year.

You're still a long way from being a master!
Over the years, he and his wife have relied entirely on hunting monsters to make a living.

Considering his wife and children, he dared not go to dangerous places, and his hunting income was very meager.

Life is very tight.

Therefore, after the breakthrough, he did not move away, but continued to live on the outskirts of the market.

Shen Xuan's guess was confirmed.

Zhao Chunsheng was indeed very short of spirit stones.

The reason was the tuition fees for his two sons.

This left him feeling quite melancholy.

Poor parents in the world!

However, it also strengthened his resolve to not have children for the time being.

The cultivation world is treacherous and fraught with danger, making survival a difficult struggle.

With his current cultivation level of the fourth stage of Qi Refining, he is walking on thin ice and has not yet gained a firm foothold.

Why have children, only to harm both yourself and others?

……

one year later.

In the practice room.

After the mysterious jade talisman withdrew its golden light, Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

[Talent: Basic Water Control (2/100)]

[Water Control Talisman: Proficient (24/200)]

【Daoyun: 268】

His brain felt as if it had been thoroughly washed with clear water.

For an instant.

He then sensed that the water elemental energy in the training room was becoming clearer.

A significant improvement in approachability.

Divine thoughts moved slightly.

A sudden explosion went off in my head!
In that instant, he felt as if he were in an endless ocean.

Its body resembles a giant blue-feathered fish, swimming freely in the vast ocean, swift as lightning.

He can easily control the movement of every drop of seawater.

It was as if with just a slight thought, one could control the power of water, command the oceans and rivers, and overturn the seas.

Time seemed to freeze.

moment.

Or perhaps it is eternal.

Shen Xuan's consciousness was enveloped in a Daoist aura, his body transforming into a several-zhang-long azure-feathered fish, appearing and disappearing in the great river, swiftly riding the water. The resistance of the water flow was so small to him that it was almost negligible.

Shen Xuan's mind was filled with insights.

Is this the Blue Feather Fish's talent for water control?
He's a natural expert in water control!
Shen Xuan was overjoyed.

Qinglongwan Market was built on the banks of the Longze River.

The Longze River flows to the East China Sea, stretching for thousands of miles, enriching the land and nourishing hundreds of millions of lives.

The river is teeming with all sorts of magical fish, monsters, plants, and minerals.

Aquatic creatures are extremely difficult to obtain.

Humans are ultimately not as adept at water magic as aquatic monsters, and the pressure of deep water makes it difficult for human cultivators to move.

Shen Xuan knew that, as a human, his ability to control water was far less adept than that of the Azure Feather Fish.

However, he was already quite satisfied.

The affinity with water spirit energy has been greatly improved, making it easier to cultivate water magic.

With a slight thought, one can control the power of the nearby water flow for one's own use.

"As expected of the fastest spirit fish in the Longze River, even at the beginner level, it can greatly enhance its strength in the water. After cultivating to a higher level, in places with abundant water spiritual energy, it will be even more powerful, with its spiritual power flowing like the ocean, and its strength will increase several times over."

"This is the talent for water control!"

If one can acquire such abilities merely by starting out, what will happen when one upgrades to proficiency and mastery?

Can it truly control the ocean and rivers, and overturn the seas?

Shen Xuan stared intently at the mysterious talisman.

[Spiritual Root: Water 12/100]

It improved by a full two points!
Logically speaking, after breaking through to the lower-grade spiritual root, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance further.

The Azure Feather Fish's water control talent added two points to his spiritual root aptitude at once!
He only needs to copy it four times to raise his water spirit root to 20 points and advance to a mid-grade spirit root!
A mid-grade spiritual root is a talent that can help one break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
Shen Xuan felt a surge of excitement.

"Stay calm! Stay calm!"

Shen Xuan got up and paced back and forth in the training room more than a dozen times, gradually calming down.

"Oh right, there's also the Daoist aura!"

He sat cross-legged again.

Shen Xuan directed his divine sense towards the row of ancient golden characters related to the Water Control talent.

"add a bit!"

The number of Taoist points gradually decreased.

As a result, the proficiency of the water control talent increases.

Shen Xuan went all in, using up all 268 points of Daoist energy in one go.

[Talent: Proficient Water Control (82/200)]

In the initial stage, a little bit of Taoist essence can improve one's proficiency.

Once you reach the proficiency stage, the amount of Daoist energy consumed doubles.

Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his mind filled with many insights into water control.

This time, he seemed to have transformed into a blue-feathered fish, having lived and hunted in the great river for hundreds of years, accumulating many water control techniques.

More than that.

[Water Control Talisman: Mastery (12/400)]

The Water Control talent directly elevates the [Water Control Talisman] skill to the Mastery stage!
Two months prior, he had already crossed the threshold and advanced to become a mid-grade talisman master.

Now, the skill of [Water Control Talisman] has improved rapidly, and the ability to earn spirit stones has greatly increased!
[Cloud and Rain Technique: Proficient (28/200)]

Water Shield: Mastery (16/400)

Water Blade Technique: Mastery (12/400)

These are the only three water-related techniques he knows.

【Cloud and Rain Technique】is the basic technique of Lingzhifu.

It was the first spell Shen Xuan learned after arriving at Qinglong Bay Market.

When he heard that most of the Lingzhi people lived in poverty, he gave up.

The spiritual planter who taught him worked from morning till night, and after deducting the land rent, the spiritual rice he harvested was only enough to pay the rent and make a living.

There is simply no energy or time for spiritual practice.

The Water Shield and Water Blade techniques are used for combat. They were originally at the proficiency stage, but they have automatically been upgraded to the master stage.

"Therefore, the Water Control talent can increase the proficiency of all water-based spells!"

Shen Xuan was overjoyed.

Tonight's harvest is so plentiful, it's time to celebrate!
He got up and went into the bedroom.

Ding Yuyao was half asleep.

Suddenly, they were bound by a tremendous force.

Then came a tremendous earthquake, with the earth shaking and the sky turning upside down!

afterwards.

Ding Yuyao asked in confusion, "Husband, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing! I've just been a bit irritable lately."

"My husband is so naughty!"

"This is considered bad? The little vixens of Tianxiang Pavilion are the truly bad ones!"

"Don't go!"
