Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 387: Spring Blossoms

One hundred fathoms deep at the bottom of the sea.

It is pitch-black and eerily silent here.

The very bottom of the East Sea, with jagged rocks and absolute quiet.

The immense water pressure makes cultivators hesitate to approach.

However, this place is paradise for the deep sea water demons.

They come in bizarre forms, looking fierce, usually with a set of sharp teeth and underdeveloped eyes, preferring to swim with open mouths to hunt.

At this moment.

These deep-sea overlord predators sense an extremely terrifying presence and flee with all their might.

A ten-zhang-long azure flood dragon leisurely swims at the sea’s bottom.

Its scales glimmer, its speed is swift, and its body emanates an icy blue spiritual light.

The violent, savage aura originating from the primordial divine beast flood dragon spreads in all directions.

Wherever it goes, hidden deep-sea water demons flee in terror.

This is precisely the Dharma Aspect of a flood dragon transformed by Shen Xuan.

In the depths of the sea, the flood dragon Dharma Aspect moves freely and unrestrained.

The terrifying water pressure is non-existent for him.

Instead, he feels completely at ease as if swimming in his native element, utterly comfortable.

With a flicker of his divine thought, he can harness the power of water flow for the flood dragon Dharma Aspect’s use.

It is no exaggeration to say that the seabed is Shen Xuan’s absolute domain.

In this environment.

Shen Xuan has absolute confidence in killing a Fake Pill True Master.

Even if they come from a major sect.

He doesn’t need to operate spiritual power at all.

Relying on the instincts of the flood dragon Dharma Aspect.

He can overturn rivers and seas, act recklessly, and crush Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators.

Just now.

He kept his promise, returning the Forest Shadow Sword to Nie Wu Hen, and taking away his Gold Steel Sword and Jade Water Cold Gold.

These two Tier Two Top Grade spiritual objects are invaluable.

They are key spiritual objects for Nie Wu Hen’s attempt at Core Formation.

It is expected that when Nie Wu Hen returns to the sect, he’ll invite elders to negotiate with Cyan Cloud Sect.

After paying certain costs, he’ll have the flying sword and Core Formation Spiritual Objects returned to him.

After all, for a sect, an outstanding Core Formation Seed is still worthy of cultivation, not easily abandoned.

Shen Xuan showed mercy, not heavily injuring Nie Wu Hen or destroying his path for a reason.

Firstly, both are core disciples of Song Country’s Seven Sect Alliance.

Nie Wu Hen’s actions were only to acquire the Divine Turtle Remains and curry favor with Golden Core True Master.

It was merely a difference in position, with no deep-seated grievances.

According to the Seven Sects Alliance rules, disciples from the Seven Sects cannot kill each other.

Especially among direct disciple core members.

Each one has consumed a lot of sect resources, not to be lightly lost.

Secondly, there are masters from the Divine Sword Sect hidden nearby watching.

His magical combat with Nie Wu Hen is bound to spread.

Inflicting heavy wounds on Nie Wu Hen, forging a deadly grudge, is unworthy for Shen Xuan.

At their level of identity and status, it’s not just a competition of personal strength.

It also involves their background, connections, and networks.

Destroying Nie Wu Hen’s path would inevitably lead his sect and family to form a life-and-death enmity with Shen Xuan.

It’s unnecessary among the seven great Daoist sects of Song Country.

This time in East Mountain Sea Domain on White Crane Island, Shen Xuan gained immensely and is very satisfied.

Though he risked some danger.

It was thrilling but without danger worth mentioning.

"Five years of hard work, time to relax and indulge myself!"

Thinking of this.

A warm excitement rose in Shen Xuan’s heart.

...

Qing Yun Immortal City.

Late night.

In a pink girl’s boudoir.

Shangguan Yan’Er has just finished her bath, dressed in thin, light silk, her hair cascading like a waterfall, her delicate face flushed lightly, her eyes bright as stars, lips lush and vibrant.

Her graceful figure, faintly visible.

Her snowy white skin, delicate and exquisite in the light of the Luminous Pearl, bright yet impenetrable to beauty.

At this moment, she lazily lies on a specially made soft bed, flipping through an Information Jade Scroll, her brows slightly furrowed, disappointedly putting it down.

Five years have passed.

Shen Xuan suddenly vanished, leaving no trace.

This leaves Shangguan Yan’Er with unending melancholy.

Through her leadership, the Shangguan Family has secured its position in Qing Yun City.

The existing commercial trade steadily moving forward.

More smoothly than imagined.

The Shangguan Family has been in business for years, and the clan elders are all familiar with worldly interests.

Given their situation of having only one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and being an outsider family.

The clan elders lead, and the clan members all maintain proper attitudes, cautious and careful, without hastily forming enmities.

The family trade primarily revolves around the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association.

They purchase goods from Celestial Fortune Commerce Association to sell to the loose cultivators of Qing Yun Immortal City, with thin profits but steadiness as the advantage.

The clan elders are very satisfied.

Without cultivating new Foundation Establishment cultivators, they have no plans for expansion.

Nor dare they hope for extremely profitable businesses.

As long as they hold the purchased spiritual land, continue commerce, earn some living expenses, all without provocation, they are satisfied.

The requirement for Shangguan Yan’Er is even simpler.

Not to marry away.

As for her private relationship with Cyan Cloud Sect’s direct disciple Shen Xuan.

The clan elders do not object and secretly encourage it.

They are well aware.

The Shangguan Family’s foothold in Qing Yun Immortal City is greatly attributed to Shen Xuan.

After all, Shen Xuan is a direct disciple of two lines, not intending to marry Shangguan Yan’Er officially.

For the Shangguan Family, it’s a mutually beneficial affair. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

They can keep Shangguan Yan’Er and rely on Shen Xuan’s support.

However, Shangguan Yan’Er is not satisfied with the current situation.

She has inquired.

Shen Xuan has no dao companion.

Only a mortal wife surnamed Ding.

She is already in her twilight years.

Shen Xuan once said he would not form marriage in the future.

Yet, Shangguan Yan’Er has not given up hope.

As long as Shen Xuan hasn’t taken a wife, there is still a glimmer of hope for her.

At this moment, an alert from the entrance sounded.

Shangguan Yan’Er immediately sprang up, a chilling, gleaming magic sword in her hand.

However, gazing around.

No suspicious figures were found in the boudoir.

Qing Yun Immortal City is tightly guarded.

Every cultivator’s mansion is equipped with a Defense Array.

In Shangguan Yan’Er’s Grade A mansion, there are three sets of high-tier restrictive arrays inside and outside.

Without the array’s secret key in hand, even a true master cannot easily break in within a moment.

"It’s me!"

A familiar voice echoed in her ears.

Then, Shangguan Yan’Er’s delicate body was roughly embraced.

A strong, powerful hand boldly reached inside.

"Shen Lang, wait, Yan’Er has something to tell you..."

"Obey! Stop arguing!"

A voice, urgent and slightly commanding.

Rough movements approached fiercely.

Shangguan Yan’Er struggled a little.

Then came continuous soft whimpering, her body turning limp.

The body cannot lie.

The pink peony bellyband was pulled off and casually tossed onto the floor.

Her body, as white as jade, unclothed, with beautiful and graceful curves.

In Shangguan Yan’Er’s eyes, there was a dreamlike daze, full of charm.

A gust of wind swept by.

The Luminous Pearl dimmed.

In the darkness.

The soft bed began to sway.

Accompanied by enchanting murmurs.

The faint sound of splashing water.

A long, long time later.

The soft bed ceased to sway.

Shangguan Yan’Er clung to the familiar robust body.

Weakly she teased, "Shen Lang, you’re amazing, Yan’Er is exhausted!"

Shen Xuan gently caressed Shangguan Yan’Er’s hair, smiling, "Yan’Er, rest for a while. I’m not satisfied yet, let’s continue later!"

"Ah! No!"

Shangguan Yan’Er’s body trembled, trying hard to push Shen Xuan away.

But how could she move him.

Shangguan Yan’Er scolded coquettishly, "Shen Lang, Yan’Er is really tired! You don’t feel sorry for Yan’Er!"

Shen Xuan slapped Shangguan Yan’Er’s round buttocks.

"If I didn’t feel sorry, would you still be able to speak?"

"If I don’t properly teach you today, who knows what will happen in the future!"

Shangguan Yan’Er yelled in surprise.

Then it seemed like something silenced her.

The soft bed began to sway again.

The sounds grew louder, the rhythm faster.

Before long.

Shangguan Yan’Er started to plead for mercy.

The response she received.

Was an even fiercer storm.

...

By dawn.

Shangguan Yan’Er struggled to open her eyes.

Beside her, Shen Xuan was full of vigor, meditating cross-legged.

Shangguan Yan’Er gazed at Shen Xuan with a hint of resentment.

Last night, she was tormented by Shen Xuan the entire night.

Her body extraordinarily exhausted.

Several times she danced on the edge of life and death.

Using various means.

Even employing some extremely shameful ways.

Only then was Shen Xuan barely satisfied, allowing her to sleep and rest.

Shangguan Yan’Er had dozed for just an hour.

Forced herself to open her eyes.

What she saw was Shen Xuan, looking radiant.

As if nothing had happened.

Even practicing his morning routine.

Shangguan Yan’Er didn’t disturb Shen Xuan.

Until Shen Xuan completed his spiritual circulation and opened his eyes.

Shangguan Yan’Er smiled sweetly, "Shen Lang, we haven’t seen each other for five years."

"Yan’Er, for the past five years, I’ve been traveling and cultivating outside."

Last night, Shangguan Yan’Er performed well, so Shen Xuan explained.

"Oh."

Shangguan Yan’Er wisely did not probe further.

Concerned with opportunity, even with her close relationship with Shen Xuan, it wasn’t appropriate to inquire too deeply.

"After returning, will you go out again?"

"I’ll first return to the sect, and then retreat for a period of deep cultivation."

Shen Xuan lightly patted Shangguan Yan’Er’s charming face.

"If there’s a chance, I’ll come see you."

"Alright! Shen Lang, you must keep your word!"

Shangguan Yan’Er’s smile blossomed like a flower, her playful voice swaying her body in waves.

Shen Xuan, having just finished his cultivation, full of energy, couldn’t help but be moved.

"This bed is quite nice."

Shen Xuan lay back on the soft bed, gently pulling Shangguan Yan’Er into his arms.

"No! In broad daylight!"

Shangguan Yan’Er coyly pleaded.

"Daylight makes it interesting!"

Shen Xuan’s words were quite teasing.

"Is this all you’re capable of? Giving up so easily?"

Shangguan Yan’Er retorted arrogantly, "I’m not the one giving up!"

"Let me show you Yan’Er’s true strength!"

Shangguan Yan’Er pounced forward, her mouth fiercely aiming to bite Shen Xuan.

...

In those absurd days, time always flew by particularly quickly.

Ten days later.

In the boudoir.

Shangguan Yan’Er saw an Intelligence Jade Scroll.

Her cherry lips hung agape in astonishment.

"Shen Lang, you in the East Mountain Sea Domain, fiercely defeated the Fake Pill True Masters and the Golden Core Inheritors of the Divine Sword Sect?"

Lying on the bed, Shen Xuan lazily replied, "The intelligence has arrived?"

Receiving the Intelligence Jade Scroll, Shen Xuan quickly scanned it.

Produced by the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, it was merely a C-level intelligence.

Briefly recounting the events, priced at a hefty three thousand spirit stones.

"This Celestial Fragrance Pavilion really knows how to do business!"

"Shen Lang, have you studied the Alchemy Dao?"

Shen Xuan took out the Token Jade Pendant given to him by Zuo Qingning from the United Commerce Association.

"This, I’m giving to you!"

Shen Xuan explained the origins of the jade pendant.

With this jade pendant, large-scale herb trade could be conducted with the United Commerce Association.

Shangguan Yan’Er’s delicate face gleamed with joy.

The United Commerce Association was a large commerce association in Song Country.

It had several True Pill True Masters behind the scenes.

Their shops were spread throughout Song Country.

Their scale and strength were incomparable to the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association.

"Shen Lang, you’re so wonderful!"

Shangguan Yan’Er kissed Shen Xuan’s cheek.

"There’s another matter, which I want to discuss with you."

Shen Xuan pondered, "I want to accept two Alchemy Apprentices, with Middle Grade Water Spirit Roots, calm temperament, and good character."

"Does the Shangguan Family have suitable candidates?"
