Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 270 Taking the Opportunity to Return to the Clan (Seeking Subscriptions)

The voice just fell.

Su Jiayuan then felt an immense spiritual pressure that made it hard for her to breathe.

She trembled all over, her face turning pale.

She never imagined that Shen Xuan would bring such terrifying pressure.

"Go back and tell Su Huaijing that the Su family's share of the Thunder Talisman will be reduced to 20%!"

A cold voice reached Su Jiayuan's ears.

“Master Shen Fu…”

Su Jiayuan moved her lips and said, her voice trembling.

Shen Xuan concealed his aura.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with Su Jiayuan.

"Go. Give me your reply within twelve hours. Otherwise, Lei Fu's plan is off!"

Su Jiayuan walked out of Tingyuxuan looking lost and dejected.

She was like a walking corpse the whole way.

I just can't understand why Shen Xuan would so decisively and directly reject the family head's suggestion.

He clearly didn't take the Su family seriously!
……

When Su Jiayuan returned to the council hall.

The five Foundation Establishment elders of the Su family are waiting for her good news.

"So, did Master Shen agree?"

"In my opinion, 30% is still too low; it should be increased to 35%."

“That’s right. Master Shen has a 40% success rate in creating talismans, and he can even produce high-quality ones.”

"Leaving him half a percent is already very generous of the Su family!"

The elders of the Su family were discussing it animatedly.

At this moment, they only saw the contributions of the Su family.

No one will put themselves in Shen Xuan's shoes.

Su Huaijing noticed Su Jiayuan's unusual behavior.

"Jiayuan, how did the talks go?"

Su Jiayuan forced herself to remain calm and slowly said, "Reporting to the patriarch, Jiayuan has informed Master Shen of the elders' consensus. He said that the distribution of thunder talismans will be reduced to 20%. Moreover..."

Su Huaijing's expression changed drastically.

"What did you say? Reduced to 20%? Did you hear me wrong?"

“You heard me right. Master Shen made it very clear that the Su family’s share has been reduced to 20%. Moreover, they must give him a reply within twelve hours, otherwise, Lei Fu’s plan will be abandoned!”

Su Jiayuan forced herself to finish speaking in one breath.

The council chamber was deathly silent.

half an hour.

Su Huaijing snorted coldly and said, "Let's discuss how the Su family should respond to this matter."

An elder stood up angrily from his seat: "Patriarch, Master Shen is going too far! 20% is absolutely unacceptable! He can't even recoup the cost of the Thunder Crystal Bamboo!"

Another elder nodded: "Master Shen is testing us! Out of respect for Master Gufeng, we'll at most keep it as it is, 25%!"

"In my opinion, it should be 30%, stick to it! I don't believe he can make thunder talismans without our Su family providing the thunder crystal bamboo!"

Another, slightly younger elder shouted angrily.

Finally, all four of them turned their gaze to the former head of the family, Su Huaijing.

"Shen Xuan, this person..."

"Fine, you guys figure it out!"

Su Huaijing ultimately didn't say anything more.

After all, he was also a member of the Su family.

Shen Xuan's actions showed contempt for the entire Su family.

Su Huaijing glanced at the other four Su family elders.

He said to Su Jiayuan, "Jiayuan, you have to go through this trouble again. Tell Master Shen that 30% is the Su family's bottom line."

"If he's unwilling, then terminate the cooperation; let him be!"

Su Huaijing thought he saw things very clearly.

Shen Xuan cannot live without Lei Jingzhu from the Su family.

There is only one branch in Qingyang Prefecture; there are no other branches.

Without thunder crystal bamboo as raw material, thunder talisman cinnabar and talisman paper cannot be made.

This concerns the reputation and vital interests of the Su family; we must not back down!
"Homeowner..."

Su Jiayuan looked worried.
Before she could finish speaking.

Su Huaijing then interrupted her.

"No need to say more. You're just passing on a message; Shen Xuan won't make things difficult for you."

Su Jiayuan looked at her grandfather, Su Huaijing.

Su Huaijing nodded slightly.

Then he turned and left.

Originally, she wanted to say that Shen Xuan's words did not seem like a bluff.

Since the head of the family was unwilling to listen, she did not want to cause any more trouble.

"I'm just passing on a message!"

Then we went to Tingyuxuan.

Su Xue'er had no intention of opening the door and letting her in.

"My husband said, if you have something to say, say it, and then go back!"

"From now on, don't come to Tingyuxuan!"

"My husband doesn't want to see you!"

Su Jiayuan did not lose her temper.

"The elders of the Su family have agreed that Lei Fu will cooperate, and the Su family must receive 30% of the profits."

"If Master Shen is unwilling, then Lei Fu's work will be abandoned."

Su Xue'er was taken aback.

She never expected that this time, the Su family and her husband would escalate to such an extent.

"Su Jiayuan, repeat that again."

Su Jiayuan honestly repeated it again.

"Go tell Su Huaijing not to appear in front of me again."

"Otherwise, I'll break his legs!"

Shen Xuan's voice drifted over.

Su Jiayuan was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly.

He turned and started running.

This time, Su Jiayuan was certain that Shen Xuan was truly angry.

Very serious consequences.

He even uttered angry words like breaking the head of the household's legs.

……

The Su family's council hall.

Upon hearing Su Jiayuan's report.

The five Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Su family were all astonished.

Even Su Huaijing didn't expect Shen Xuan's reaction to be so strong.

It only increases the percentage of semi-finished Thunder Talismans.

Su Huaijing didn't think there was anything wrong with the Su family.

The cooperation he agreed to with Shen Xuan was based on giving up some of his profits for the sake of Master Gufeng.

He benefited from this for a full twenty years.

Shen Xuan should be content.

Su Huaijing's face turned bright red.

Furious.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Xuan was a Grandmaster cultivator, then...

It also possesses proven, extremely strong combat capabilities.

He wanted nothing more than to rush up to Shen Xuan and give him a good scolding.

What an ungrateful wretch!
The other three, realizing the seriousness of the situation, all fell silent.

It was as if they were only now realizing that Shen Xuan was not someone they could control.

"Patriarch, you should stay away from Tingyuxuan for the time being!"

Su Huaijing sighed. Shen Xuan had already made his statement.

If they really encounter Su Huaijing, they will most likely fight.

If Su Huaijing's legs were truly broken, the Su family would completely lose face.

After Su Huaijing finished speaking, the council hall fell into a deathly silence.

……

The night was enchanting.

Shen Xuan lay on the rocking chair, gazing at the stars in the sky.

The stars twinkle, and the moon shines brightly.

so fast.

Unbeknownst to him, he had spent twenty-one years on Feiyun Mountain.

From 85 years old to 106 years old.

Twenty-one years have passed so quickly!

The Su family's overestimation of their abilities made him both amused and somewhat disheartened.

The greed and selfishness of the Su family cultivators were on full display before him!
Human hearts are like water.

Many people are always trying to take advantage of others.

Moreover, they never reflect on their actions.

They will only push their luck.

Others treat him as a friend.

He treats people like suckers.

Shen Xuan did receive the Thunder Talisman inheritance from the Su family and made some profit from cooperating in refining Thunder Talismans.

However, the Su family not only gained a large number of spirit stones and many favors through their cooperation on the Thunder Talisman, but also restored some of their prestige as a prominent family.

It was also because of Shen Xuan's existence that Feiyun Mountain's foundation was preserved.

Otherwise, they would have long been usurped and devoured by Nangong Guang and his Blood Spirit Sect demonic cultivators.

Like the Wu family of Chiyan.

Shen Xuan also trained many first-tier talisman masters for the Su family.

A gentleman can deceive others.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan didn't intend to be a gentleman.

He had originally been trying to find a way to end his posting early and return to his sect.

The Su family's attack gave him a perfect excuse.

He is about to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

No matter how nice the conditions are at Tingyuxuan Pavilion on Feiyun Mountain, they can't compare to those at Xiaogufeng Peak of Qingyun Sect.

That's a third-tier spiritual vein!
Although he was 99% confident that he could successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, being able to return to Xiaogu Peak and break through using a third-order spiritual vein without damaging his Dao foundation will benefit his future cultivation.

Taking this opportunity, they launched an attack on the Su family and left Qingyang Prefecture, which was embroiled in the war between the Dao and the Demons.

beside.

Su Xueer looked worried.

My husband and the Su family have had such a bad falling out.

This made her vaguely worried.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xue'er was wondering, was her husband...?

Su Xue'er mustered her courage and finally asked, "Are we going back to the Qingyun Sect?"

"um, yes."

Shen Xuan nodded and said.

"These next few days, you should tidy up the things in Tingyuxuan."

"Yes, husband."

There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

"What, you don't want to go to the sect?"

"what!"

Su Xue'er was suddenly stunned.

As if frozen in place, she stared blankly at Shen Xuan.

It took her a while to come to her senses.

"Does my husband mean that Xue'er should return to the Qingyun Sect with him?"

"if not?"

Shen Xuan said softly, "Of course, you can stay in the Su family if you wish."

"No, Xue'er will return to her clan with her husband!"

Su Xue'er said with a smile, her words filled with joy.

She had thought that her husband would leave her alone on Feiyun Mountain.

After all, she was just a concubine.

Her limit was a low-grade spiritual root and the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

As we get older.

The number of times the two engaged in dual cultivation also became seldom.

Su Xue'er understood that she could no longer meet Shen Xuan's needs.

"Xue'er, go and get ready!"

Looking at Su Xue'er, who was as cheerful as a little bird, Shen Xuan shook his head and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Bringing Su Xue'er back to the Qingyun Sect was part of his plan.

Shen Xuan needs someone to help him manage all sorts of miscellaneous tasks.

It's better to use what you know than what you don't.

Su Xueer was already very skilled at it and knew the situation inside and out.

Moreover, she was extremely loyal to Shen Xuan.

Even if it means death, I will never betray him.

Shen Xuan stood up and glanced at the picturesque scenery of Feiyun Mountain.

Shake his head slightly.

This parting is goodbye forever.

……

The next day.

Listen to Yuxuan.

Upon receiving the message from the communication talisman, Tie Wendao rushed over.

"Master Shen, are you really going to leave Qingyang Prefecture?"

"I've been in Qingyang Prefecture for twenty-one years, and it's time for me to return to my clan. I called you here to tell you something."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and then said, "From now on, you don't need to do anything for me. Let's settle the remaining medicinal herbs and talismans!"

Tie Wendao helped Shen Xuan acquire spiritual herbs, gather intelligence, and sell thunder and poison talismans.

After Shen Xuan left Qingyang Prefecture, Tie Wendao no longer needed to do these things.

"Wait! Master Shen, I, Tie, am willing to follow you back to your sect!"

"I am a rogue cultivator and cannot enter a sect. However, I can continue to work for Master Shen in the immortal city under the sect!"

Shen Xuan looked at Tie Wendao with some surprise.

"Fellow Railway Enthusiast, you'd better think this through!"

"I'm just a nobody in the sect, I can't help you much."

Tie Wendao said with a smile, "Master Shen is too modest!"

"I, Tie, have long planned to leave Qingyang Prefecture. People always strive for better opportunities!"

"To be honest, Master Shen, I have saved up quite a few spirit stones. I can try to bid on a small second-tier spirit vein!"

Shen Xuan asked curiously, "I was just asking casually, please don't take it to heart, Fellow Railway."

"Do you have blood relatives?"

The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more difficult it is for them to have offspring.

Tie Wendao is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and is at least over a hundred years old.

At this age, it would be quite difficult to have children.

"Master Shen, that's a good question!"

Tie Wendao revealed a smug smile.
