Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Ordinary Qi Cultivation Cultivators have an average lifespan of around one hundred and twenty years.

In his youth, Zhao Chunsheng worked as a demon hunter.

He sustained several injuries, affecting his lifespan.

At this moment, Zhao Chunsheng's realm cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

Obviously, his body had already deteriorated, and his realm cultivation began to decline.

"He can still live for another ten years or so."

Shen Xuan watched for a while, shook his head, and thought to himself.

On Zhao Chunsheng, he saw no trace of disappointment.

His spirits were good, face ruddy, and voice quite loud.

Sipping spirit tea, chatting and playing cards with a group of similarly aging cultivators.

While playing cards, he bragged about the glorious history of fighting alongside Shen Xuan.

Demon hunting, slaying tribulation cultivators, intimidating peers, and more.

The old cultivators playing cards with him held Zhao Chunsheng in high regard.

From time to time, envy flashed in their eyes.

Having a friend in the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Sect, no one dared to bully him in Yunyuan Immortal City.

His cultivation general store was growing bigger and bigger.

Cultivators causing trouble in his store were unceremoniously taken away by the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team.

This also indirectly confirmed that Zhao Chunsheng indeed had a powerful friend with divine powers.

His two sons were well-educated.

Both became upper-grade pill masters and upper-grade artifact masters.

In the sect, they were unremarkable.

But among loose cultivators, this was a remarkable achievement.

Sufficient to allow them to survive in Yunyuan Immortal City without worry about food and clothing.

Shen Xuan, hidden amid the crowd, watched silently for a while.

Suddenly, he lost the desire to go forward and meet.

Zhao Chunsheng was living well, no need to meet again.

Between them, besides reminiscing about the past, there was no common topic.

In the future, the two would have no intersection.

Qi Cultivation Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were originally separated by a huge chasm, their identities as different as heaven and earth.

Just about to leave.

An old woman hurriedly approached.

"Old man, stop playing cards! Someone is looking for you!"

It was Jiang Yingxue.

But she was so aged that Shen Xuan almost didn't recognize her.

Shen Xuan turned around and vanished into the crowd.

At this moment, Jiang Yingxue suddenly stopped.

She stared blankly at the gradually disappearing figure, somewhat dazed.

"Old lady, what's got you daydreaming?"

"I think I saw Talisman Master Shen!"

Zhao Chunsheng looked in the direction of Jiang Yingxue's gaze.

Nothing was gained.

"In broad daylight, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Talisman Master Shen, now a remarkable figure, is very busy every day, what's he doing here!"

Jiang Yingxue sighed: "Yes, Talisman Master Shen is a big figure now. I wonder how Sister Yuyao is doing!"

"Who's looking for me?"

"Oh! Captain Cheng from the Law Enforcement Team. He caught a thief stealing in our shop!"

"Let's hurry back then!"

...

Shen Xuan wandered aimlessly around Yunyuan Immortal City.

Being out and about alone, there was an unexplainable sense of leisure.

It was like he received a spiritual baptism.

Many things faded lightly.

If there are no idle matters to worry about, then it is a good time on earth.

At this time, he would not go to see Xia Muqing.

Fated to gather, fated to disperse.

Former teammates, who lived and died together, would eventually go their separate ways, not to interact again.

No one can accompany you for a lifetime.

Not even a wife, let alone a friend.

Shen Xuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Life between heaven and earth is like a fleeting white horse, passing in an instant.

Some things, if you want to do them, then do them.

Shen Xuan made up his mind and quickly walked towards the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

It would be a shame to come to Yunyuan Immortal City once without treating himself.

Even if not personally participating, enjoying the scenery was good.

The immortals of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion danced quite beautifully.

Each with long legs, curvaceous, bouncing and jumping around.

In the graceful dance, the jade-like long legs, the perky hips, the ample bosom, sparked endless imagination.

The experience was quite nice.

No wonder some would keep a song and dance troupe!

Shen Xuan stayed at the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion until the early morning.

Not until the dance program ended and it turned into solo performances did he reluctantly get up to leave.

...

The next day, Shen Xuan left the sect inn to visit Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang.

The two could barely be considered friends.

Over the years, they worked together, each fulfilling their needs, without any unpleasant incidents.

Shen Xuan arrived at Tang Renhao's residence.

Upon seeing Shen Xuan's visiting card, Tang Renhao personally came to greet him.

Hurriedly setting up a banquet, he called Zhu Jintang to accompany them.

Shen Xuan and the two have known each other for over thirty years, very familiar with each other.

Meeting today, Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang were both in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, yet showed great respect for Shen Xuan.

"Talisman Master Shen is about to break through, right?"

"In about three or four years' time."

"When Zhu broke through…"

Zhu Jintang had broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment a few years before.

He briefly recounted his experiences and insights at the time of his breakthrough.

Tang Renhao occasionally added a few words.

Shen Xuan listened quietly.

He was full of confidence about breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although Zhu Jintang and Tang Renhao's experiences and insights were not very useful to him.

However, they put in such effort.

Shen Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Shen Xuan knew, Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang were trying to befriend him.

Soon, Zhu Jintang finished speaking and gave Shen Xuan a self-deprecating smile.

"A mere loose man, unaware of the heights of heaven and earth, talking about the Dao and discussing techniques in front of Talisman Master Shen, how laughable."

Shen Xuan laughed and said, "Why should Friend Zhu belittle himself? With your capabilities, advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment is as easy as turning your palm!"

This was not flattery.

Zhu Jintang and Tang Renhao, although demon hunters, had also been injured.

Nevertheless, both had intact Dao foundations, pure spiritual power, and were steadfast by nature.

As long as their financial resources kept up, advancing to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the future wouldn't be a big problem.

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's praises, Zhu Jintang felt quite delighted in his heart.

"Thank you for your kind words, Master Shen. Do you have any insights to share?"

Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

The three of them were Water Cultivators, and in cultivation, there were many experiences that could be mutually enlightening.

He appropriately shared some of his experiences and insights while cultivating the Divine Hidden Sea Technique.

"The body resembles the vast sea, the viscera like the Five Elements, flowing endlessly and continuously..."

Tang Fuhao and Zhu Jintang listened intently, entranced.

They both hailed from Loose Cultivator backgrounds.

After going through countless hardships, they cultivated to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

The quality of their Origin Techniques was far inferior to the Divine Hidden Sea Technique.

Since it was also a Water Attribute Technique, it had significant referential value.

The two listened earnestly, occasionally showing expressions of enlightenment.

Shen Xuan's experiences and insights offered considerable guidance for their cultivation.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Shen Xuan stopped.

"Wielding an axe at the master's door, I hope you won't laugh!"

"Not at all! We have learned much!"

"Master Shen, you are too modest!"

Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang exchanged a glance, their attitudes toward Shen Xuan became even more respectful.

As a direct disciple of a sect master and a Loose Cultivator Demon Hunter, their statuses were worlds apart.

It was remarkably rare for Shen Xuan to treat them like this.

"By the way, are there any Tier Two Top Grade Water Demons in the nearby sea area of Yunyuan Immortal City?"

The Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons in the nearby sea area were wiped out completely by Shen Xuan years ago.

"Master Shen, please be cautious! Tier Two Top Grade Water Demons have robust flesh bodies and powerful talent skills. They are difficult to deal with under the sea."

Tang Renhao advised.

"Friend Tang misunderstands. I am merely collecting information for now, not acting recklessly. We'll see about it in the future."

"Please wait, Master Shen!"

Tang Renhao stepped out.

When he returned, he had an Information Jade Scroll in his hand.

"Tier Two Top Grade Water Demons are exceptionally strong. The information in here is all hearsay and unverified."

"Thank you, Friend Tang."

Shen Xuan took the Information Jade Scroll and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

Inside was information about four Tier Two Top Grade Water Demons in the nearby sea area.

Most of it was hearsay.

Only one had a confirmed activity area.

A cultivator had survived an encounter with it.

Shen Xuan put away the Information Jade Scroll.

The three continued to drink and make merry.

Shen Xuan inquired about his former teammate Wen Zijian.

This was a mutual friend of his and Tang Renhao.

"Friend Wen? We corresponded through letters a few years ago, but lately, less so."

Tang Renhao informed Shen Xuan that after Wen Zijian established his Foundation, he first went to live in an Immortal City near a Golden Spiritual Qi Dao Field.

Then he joined a Cultivation Clan as a Tributor.

Later on, he joined a small sect, becoming a Sect Elder.

In their words, Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang expressed considerable envy towards Wen Zijian's fortunes.

For a mere Loose Cultivator to become a Tributor for a Cultivation Clan was already quite excellent.

Wen Zijian even managed to join a sect.

A Sect Elder held a position far higher than a Loose Cultivator.

Before parting, Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan courteously returned the gestures.

He saw that their aim was to gather information on Water Demons.

Discussing cultivation and techniques was merely incidental.

It was not easy for Loose Cultivators to cultivate.

If one were to take it easy, it would be understandable.

But both Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang were people of strong will.

In the future, if they wish to break through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, with Shen Xuan's guidance, they can avoid many detours.

Tier Two Cultivation Spiritual Objects were strictly controlled by the sect.

As long as they aren't too precious or expressly forbidden to be conveyed by the sect, Shen Xuan could assist in purchasing any other Cultivation Spiritual Objects, Pill Talismans, artifact arrays, etc.

At this moment, Shen Xuan had already become a sect connection for Tang Fuhao and Zhu Jintang.

Even in Yunyuan Immortal City, they would benefit greatly from this.

...

After saying farewell to Tang Fuhao and Zhu Jintang.

Shen Xuan returned to the Sect Inn to rest.

As expected, Ruan Siting sent someone with an invitation, arranging to meet him the next day.

The next day.

In the backyard of Ruan Siting's residence.

Shen Xuan performed the Water Spirit Condensing Essence Technique.

A series of Dark Spirit Fish leaped out from his body, joyful and nimble, their speed as fast as lightning, vivid and lively.

Soon, Shen Xuan was surrounded by a dense cluster of Dark Spirit Fish, numbering at least a hundred.

Ruan Siting was dumbfounded.

The Water Spirit Condensing Essence Technique was a technique of the Bishui Sect.

Back in the day, Shen Xuan had acquired it from him.

Hmm, I even gave him a discount!

Ruan Siting thought to himself.

He had been cultivating the Water Spirit Condensing Essence Technique for much longer than Shen Xuan.

Currently, he was at a bottleneck, unable to progress.

"Brother Shen, have you achieved Great Success in the Water Spirit Condensing Essence Technique?"

Shen Xuan smiled faintly: "It was just by chance."

Ruan Siting couldn't be bothered to criticize.

He had long known that Shen Xuan's talent in Water Attribute Techniques was at a demon level.

Back then, if not for his age, he would have invited Shen Xuan to join the sect.

"Brother Shen, let me see the power of these Dark Spirit Fish."

"Sure!"

Shen Xuan's Divine Thought slightly moved.

The Dark Spirit Fish transformed into layers of Cyan Spirit Walls, standing before the two.

In the blink of an eye, dozens were erected.

Ruan Siting performed the Condensed Water Blade Technique.

A sharp Water Blade surged towards the Cyan Spirit Wall.

Unfortunately, it could only break through three layers of the Cyan Spirit Wall before dissolving powerlessly.

"Brother Shen, this is just too strong!"

Ruan Siting's eyes were filled with envy.

His Condensed Water Blade Technique had already reached Great Success.

He had originally been wondering if Shen Xuan's numerous Dark Spirit Fish were just flashy without substance.

In the end, it was a great eye-opener for him!

"The defense is indeed powerful, but I wonder how the attack power fares?"

A glimmer of amusement appeared in Shen Xuan's eyes.

"Friend Ruan, would you like to give it a try?"
