Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 64 Water Release Talent (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

It turns out that Li Chang'an, a former classmate, married into the Yu family, a family of cultivators, and had many descendants.

The Yu family, a cultivation clan, was only at the Qi Refining stage and had limited resources, so they sent some members out to develop on their own.

Wang Fugui then took in one of them, Li Chang'an's youngest son, named Yu Zhenxiu, who had inferior spiritual roots, was twenty-five years old, and was at the second level of Qi Refining.

"I've been training him for three years. How about he stays in the shop as a shop assistant?"

"Such a trivial matter needs no further explanation. Fellow Daoist Zhao is just in need of a helper."

Out of consideration for their shared school days, Shen Xuan agreed.

After shedding his burden, Wang Fugui was in high spirits and took out five hundred spirit stones from his principal to bribe officials.

A few days later, with Wang Fugui's help, Zhao Chunsheng made contact with Deacon Qian and rented a small shop with an area of ​​only forty square meters.

The shops in Yunyuan Immortal City are all under unified management. They open at Chenshi (7-9 AM) and close at Youshi (5-7 PM). At other times, protective formations are activated, and entry and exit are strictly prohibited.

Only the directly operated stores of the Biyue Sect will be open 24/7.

After receiving the investment spirit stones from Shen Xuan and Wang Fugui, Zhao Chunsheng gritted his teeth and used all his savings to renovate the shop and purchase goods.

He was constantly busy with his wife and children.

Shen Xuan began preparing new talismans.

This place is not like Qinglongwan Market.

Those at the late stage of Qi Refining are just small fry.

There are even third-tier sea monsters in the East China Sea.

Going out to hunt sea monsters is too risky and not advisable.

He plans to return to his old ways and make talismans to earn spirit stones.

The first choice is the [Water Escape Talisman].

The Five Elements Escape Technique is an extremely rare skill in the cultivation world.

Limited by spiritual power, consciousness, and physical body, it is difficult for Qi Refining stage cultivators to master.

Only a small number of Foundation Establishment cultivators with outstanding talent and excellent spiritual roots can learn the escape technique.

Therefore, talismans related to the Five Elements Escape Technique are difficult to make and remain expensive.

Yunyuan Immortal City is adjacent to the East Sea, and the [Water Escape Talisman] is a hot commodity that sells out easily.

Shen Xuan supported Zhao Chunsheng in opening the store and didn't care whether the store was profitable or not.

Acquiring the essence and blood of demonic beasts, plundering their talents, and continuously improving one's spiritual root aptitude are the fundamental principles.

Purchasing materials for making talismans, selling talismans, and disposing of stolen magical artifacts were just sidelined tasks.

The Water Escape Talisman is suitable for use with a lot of the essence and blood of sea monsters.

But the best is the sea swordfish.

It resembles a bluefin bream in appearance, but is much larger.

Adult sea swordfish are generally of the second rank.

It is over ten meters long and weighs over a thousand kilograms, with a sharp upper jaw like a long sword.

It is the fastest in the sea, much faster than the bluefin bream.

It is said that it can reach speeds of 200 meters per second!

The blood essence of an adult sea swordfish is extremely expensive, costing seven or eight hundred spirit stones per bottle.

Shen Xuan estimated that with bottles that small, it would take at least a dozen to plunder the talent.

However, the sea swordfish grows extremely fast, starting at less than one centimeter and reaching two or three meters in length after a year.

At this time, it is only a juvenile body, a first-grade superior or top-grade.

There are many powerful monsters in the sea, and with the addition of water-based cultivators capturing them, it's not easy for the Sea Swordfish to grow into an adult and advance to the second tier.

Otherwise, how could it have produced so many!
After Zhao Chunsheng opened his shop, he advertised that he would buy the blood essence of juvenile sea swordfish.

A few days later, Zhao Erhu delivered a storage bag containing the blood essence of a juvenile sea swordfish that he had just acquired.

"Uncle Shen, my father sent me to deliver this. He said that this little bit of essence blood cost him one hundred and twenty spirit stones! He's asking if you want to continue buying more?"

"continue!"

"Ok!"

He entered the training room and poured out the essence blood from his storage bag; there was only a small half basin left.

"Let's see how it goes!"

After the mysterious jade talisman flashed with golden light...

[Plunderable Talents: Water Release, Sharp Sword Thrust, Death Impact, Rapid Growth]

Shen Xuan didn't think much of it and chose the [Water Escape] talent.

[Talent: Water Release (12/100)]

[Water Escape Talisman: Beginner (3/100)]

[Daoist Rhyme: 128] The Daoist Rhyme is very high, and the skill of Water Escape Talisman has improved unexpectedly slowly.

Before this, he had practiced for half a month, consuming hundreds of talisman papers, and barely managed to get the basics down.

All that essence and blood only increased my talisman-making proficiency by 2 points.

"It's probably because the Water Release Technique is of a high grade."

The Five Elements Escape Technique is beyond the grasp of most Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Shen Xuan has just entered the late stage of Qi Refining, and it will take some effort for him to master the basics.

Just getting started costs seven or eight hundred spirit stones.

Based on my experience making the "Rejuvenation Talisman," it definitely costs a lot of money in the early stages, and you're guaranteed to lose money.

The Water Escape Talisman requires at least a proficiency level to achieve a break-even point.

Once you master the skill, you can start making consistent profits.

Fortunately, when Shen Xuan left Qinglong Bay Market, he killed the traitor and took the opportunity to make three fortunes, making a considerable fortune.

Otherwise, just practicing this [Water Escape Talisman] would bankrupt him.

Now, after investing in the shop, he still has seven thousand spirit stones, more than ten high-grade magic artifacts, and a large number of cultivation spiritual items, enough for him to squander.

After finishing his practice, Shen Xuan began writing letters to Qin Yuehan and Lü Zhengying.

He recounted his experiences in Qinglongwan Market.

The text specifically mentions Bai Xinghe, a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Crimson Rainbow Sect, who harbors prejudice against him and relentlessly pursues him in his spaceship, attempting to coerce him.

Taking advantage of the Longze River, he managed to escape and settled in Yunyuan Immortal City.

The purpose of writing the letter was to hope that Qin Yuehan and Lü Zhengying could mediate and resolve the misunderstanding between him and Bai Xinghe.

It's not that I'm afraid of Bai Xinghe.

After all, he is a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Crimson Rainbow Sect; it is better to resolve enmity than to create it.

After writing the letter, hand it over to the servants of Yunyuan Immortal City, pay them with spirit stones, and they will arrange for a spirit pigeon to return.

However, Yunyuan Immortal City is far away from Qingyun Sect.

It would probably take half a year for a letter to travel back and forth.

The most urgent task is to plunder the talents of demonic beasts and increase our strength.

If we can successfully establish our Dao foundation, so what if Bai Xinghe is unwilling to reconcile?

Shen Xuan gradually got used to life in Yunyuan Immortal City.

He and his wife, Ding Yuyao, rarely left their residence.

Even daily necessities like spirit rice and monster meat were delivered to his door regularly by Zhao Chunsheng's people.

He is usually Yu Zhenxiu, a shop assistant, and the youngest son of his classmate Li Chang'an.

Shen Xuan had a good impression of him.

Honest and simple, quiet and reserved, he focuses on his work.

Settlement is made monthly, and the spirit stones are handed over to him to take back to the shop.

It was late at night.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the stars shine brilliantly.
yard.

Ding Yuyao lay lazily in Shen Xuan's arms.

His clothes were disheveled.

A pink halter top was casually tied around her body, revealing most of her snow-white skin at an angle.

The osmanthus trees in the courtyard quietly exude a delicate fragrance that is refreshing and delightful.

Ding Yuyao's eyes were brimming with affection, like autumn water.

Just now, she had been taking great care of her husband.

The flushed face from excitement gradually faded.

A hint of satisfaction played on his lips.

She felt happy as long as her husband was interested in her.

What she feared most was that her husband would despise her, turn a blind eye, and remain indifferent.

Now, she has also come to love life in Yunyuan Immortal City.

The area is very safe and has a strong spiritual atmosphere. The neighbors live far apart and have no contact with each other.

"Husband, what happened to Qinglong Bay in the end?"

Ding Yuyao asked with an expectant look on her face.

“The Crimson Rainbow Sect has made Ding Yisi a puppet, taking over Azure Dragon Bay. The spiritual veins and markets are all under the jurisdiction of the Crimson Rainbow Sect.”

Ding Yuyao's delicate body trembled slightly, her voice tinged with melancholy: "How are my family members?"
