Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 456: Return to the Bai Family

Divine Dragon Island.

Patriarch’s Mansion.

"Talisman Master Shen, are you leaving?"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan’s purpose, Patriarch Chen looked surprised.

Previously, Shen Xuan had signed a five-year Honored Guest Spirit Contract with the Chen Family.

Now, four years had passed.

Shen Xuan had only left once for Lion King Island and hadn’t gone out otherwise.

That time, it was with Pill Master Cheng and Immortal Mu, the three went together.

Shen Xuan’s Honored Guest Spirit Contract mainly provided the Chen Family with good quality and affordable Spirit Talismans and taught the Chen family talisman apprentices.

The Chen Family did not have the power to restrict Shen Xuan’s personal freedom.

Theoretically, the Spirit Contract held strong binding power over Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Like a vow to the Heavenly Dao, if violated, it would cause some backlash.

Moreover, it would affect the reputation of the signing cultivator.

The signing force has the right to demand compensation from the signing cultivator.

However, these mean nothing to Shen Xuan.

This level of Spirit Contract has no binding power over him.

Shen Xuan used an alias.

The spiritual power imprint on it was fundamentally unable to track him.

As a visitor from beyond the heavens, he did not believe in the Heavenly Dao, thus would not suffer its backlash.

"The countries of Yan and Song are on the verge of war. I have some unresolved matters in Song Country to attend to quickly,"

Shen Xuan explained.

Hearing this, Patriarch Chen asked with concern, "Can this old man be of assistance?"

"It’s just minor matters, not needing to trouble the Patriarch."

Patriarch Chen mused for a few moments and agreed with a smile.

He had no reason to refuse.

Shen Xuan was merely informing him.

Regardless of consent or not, he could not stop Shen Xuan’s departure. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"After handling matters in Song Country, will Talisman Master Shen return?"

"Certainly,"

Shen Xuan said solemnly.

Patriarch Chen smiled, "That’s good. By the way, Talisman Master Shen, shall we go see Huixue?"

"Alright."

This journey will take several months.

Shen Xuan also needed to inform Chen Huixue.

In a meticulously decorated luxurious talisman room.

A beautiful female cultivator, aged sixteen, was focused on making Ice Arrow Talismans.

Just successfully making an Ice Arrow Talisman, a Communication Talisman flew to the talisman table in front.

Opening it and seeing, Chen Huixue’s expression brightened.

Opening the door to see Patriarch Chen and Shen Xuan.

"Father. Talisman Master Shen."

"Creating talismans?"

"Yes."

"Let me see."

Taking the Cold Arrow Talisman handed over by Chen Huixue.

With just a glance, Shen Xuan returned it to Chen Huixue.

Patriarch Chen wisely said, "Talisman Master Shen, have a seat. I will go handle some clan trivial matters."

After Patriarch Chen left.

Chen Huixue closed the talisman making room door.

"How is your cultivation?"

In front of Shen Xuan, Chen Huixue showcased the technique of turning water into ice.

A piece of Spirit Water was condensed by her into various forms of Profound Ice magical artifacts.

Ice Spear, Ice Blade, Ice Sword, Ice Axe, and more.

"The [Primordial Ice Spirit Technique] and [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique], is there anything unclear?"

"There is."

The [Primordial Ice Spirit Technique] was obtained by the Chen Family with great effort from a sect in Yan Country.

Originally, there was another ice attribute technique.

Shen Xuan glanced at it, the level of the ice technique was too poor, and he asked Chen Huixue to discard it and focus on cultivating the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique].

In just three years.

Chen Huixue broke through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.

Already capable of making a middle-grade Tier-One Ice Talisman.

"Innate Ice Spirit Body!"

Looking at the girl before him, Shen Xuan couldn’t help but recall his master, True Master Cold Jade.

Back then, in Cyan Cloud Sect, she could not find a suitable successor no matter how hard she tried.

Liu Bingyu’s aptitude was probably only able to reach Fake Pill True Master.

Shen Xuan guided Chen Huixue in cultivation, resolving her doubts and helping her understand.

"I need to go out for a while, keep cultivating well."

Chen Huixue softly asked, "Talisman Master Shen, will you come back?"

"I will,"

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

"Should the opportunity arise, I will introduce you to a sect and find you a better teacher."

After Chen Huixue establishes her foundation, he would write a sealed letter to his master True Master Cold Jade.

Introducing Chen Huixue to her.

"Huixue will cultivate diligently,"

Chen Huixue said seriously.

Her expression turned solemn.

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and turned to leave.

This girl, not sure what she experienced in her youth, matured very early and was steady.

She had none of the exuberance of a young girl.

...

Returning to Spring Wind Island.

Shen Xuan began preparing for his journey.

The Purple Blood Ice Ganoderma was dug up from the Spirit Plant Garden and kept on him.

After absorbing the blood from the corpse of a Fake Pill True Master.

The growth speed of the Purple Blood Ice Ganoderma accelerated greatly.

Shen Xuan estimated that these four years had ripened it by nearly a hundred years.

The remaining hundred years would only need a bit more spiritual object nourishment to achieve the effect.

Millennium Purple Blood Ice Ganoderma is a superb Core Formation Spiritual Object.

Thirty years left, it would suffice.

The Jade Spirit Clam, nurtured for many years.

Already advanced to Middle Grade Tier-Two.

Shen Xuan threw it into the Spirit Pool, letting it grow.

No longer harvesting blood, the Jade Spirit Clam was already outrageously fat.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse was becoming increasingly majestic.

Shen Xuan took it with him.

With a mount, the journey would be much easier.

Three Corpse Beasts, all were put into the Corpse Beast Bag as a precaution.

Shen Xuan instructed Bai Xiaomeng.

Stay on Spring Wind Island, do not leave.

Take care of the Spirit Plants in the cave mansion, wait for his return.

If there were issues, let Chen Da Fuh handle them.

...

Mu Ling’Er’s boudoir.

Dresses, bras, white socks and other items were casually thrown on the ground.

After an intense battle.

Shen Xuan got up and dressed.

"Shen Lang, you’re leaving after finishing?"

On the soft bed, Mu Ling’Er, not wearing a stitch, said plaintively.

Shen Xuan dressed, smilingly said to Mu Ling’Er, "No, I wasn’t done. It’s you who couldn’t go on."

This remark made Mu Ling’Er angry and bashful.

"Who says Ling’Er couldn’t go on? Ling’Er just has been cultivating too diligently lately, and is a bit tired."

"After a few days, Ling’Er will have rested well, and I’ll show you how formidable I am!"

Shen Xuan liked Mu Ling’Er’s temperament.

Clearly, she had been pleading in ecstasy earlier.

And now she’s stubborn, brimming with fighting spirit.

Making Shen Xuan feel he must teach her a lesson again.

But this time, he let her be.

"I’m going out tomorrow."

"Ah! Where to?"

"Back to Song Country for a while."

"How long until you return?"

"Should be quick. Three or four months."

Shen Xuan gently kissed Mu Ling’Er’s forehead, patting her pretty face.

"Rest well. When I return, let me see how fierce Ling’Er is, and if you can give me satisfaction once."

Hearing this, Mu Ling’Er’s pretty face flushed red.

In her heart, she knew clearly.

Every intense battle, Shen Xuan held back.

His body was full of vitality, which once had Mu Ling’Er entranced.

...

The next day.

Shen Xuan left Spring Breeze Island, flying along the sea surface.

After distancing several hundred miles.

Shen Xuan summoned the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, mounted it, soared clouds and mist, flying towards the Wilderness.

Along the way, Shen Xuan concealed his form, trying not to attract attention.

He didn’t enter Song Country.

Directly from Yan Country, he plunged into the Wilderness, heading deeper.

His body emanated a powerful aura of late-stage Foundation Establishment, with a Tier Two Spirit Beast as his mount.

Some Demon Hunters encountered on the road, after seeing him, all respectfully avoided him.

Daring to enter the Wilderness alone, with a Tier Two Spirit Beast mount, tells of his formidable strength.

The Cultivation Realm is strictly hierarchical, with clear distinctions between superior and inferior.

Especially in an unregulated area like the Wilderness.

If a High Tier Cultivator feels offended, they can make the other party perish without any reason.

This is also a tacit rule in the Cultivation Realm.

Strength is respected.

Low Tier Cultivators must not offend High Tier Cultivators.

Under normal circumstances, Shen Xuan wouldn’t bother with these Demon Hunters.

He doesn’t want to commit more killings.

As for killing and robbing.

Shen Xuan generally wouldn’t do so deliberately.

Unless it’s a trap set against a malicious person.

The journey was indeed safe.

Shen Xuan cautiously avoided High Tier Demon Beast territories.

His trip is only for the Dharma Realm Body Refining Technique.

No need for unnecessary trouble.

Once Demon Beasts reach Tier Two, they will have some intelligence.

Sensing Shen Xuan’s strong aura, most Tier Two Demon Beasts will actively avoid him.

Coincidentally, midway, Shen Xuan encountered a caravan from the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association.

The leader was an old acquaintance, Hou Jing.

Shen Xuan contemplated briefly.

Put away the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, changed his appearance.

Became a disheartened middle-aged swordsman.

Still late-stage Foundation Establishment.

"This Fellow Daoist, may I know your esteemed name?"

Those responsible for vigilance at the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association, upon seeing Shen Xuan approaching alone, dared not underestimate, hastily bowed and asked.

"A Loose Cultivator Shen Lang. Are you the caravan from the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association?"

Shen Xuan’s voice was hoarse.

"Indeed. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Shen recognizes any of us in the caravan?"

"Don’t know anyone. Just heard of it for a long time."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please wait, I’ll invite the person in charge over."

Soon, Hou Jing, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, approached.

The two exchanged greetings.

"Fellow Daoist Hou, are you heading to Bai Family Stronghold?"

"Exactly."

"Perfect timing. Shen also goes to Bai Family Stronghold. May we travel together?"

"Well said! While out, meeting is fate. Hou couldn’t ask for more!"

The two smiled at each other.

Shen Xuan claimed to be a Loose Cultivator from Song Country, running solo.

Having some Cultivation Spiritual Objects, available for trading with Bai Family Stronghold.

Shen Xuan took out some common Tier Two Spiritual Objects, seized Pill Array Talismans for cheap sale to Celestial Fortune Commerce Association.

Hou Jing purchased and estimated a profit of over ten thousand Spirit Stones, becoming even more enthusiastic towards Shen Xuan.

This caravan has over fifty people, eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Strong than the previous one.

Shen Xuan is late-stage Foundation Establishment, in the caravan, only Hou Jing is of the same tier.

The two move forward side by side.

Shen Xuan inquired about Song Country’s situation.

Unconsciously, the topic shifted to Cyan Cloud Sect.

"Cyan Cloud Sect’s power surged recently, surpassing Medicine God Valley and Thousand Mechanism Sect, keeping pace with Divine Sword Sect!"

Hou Jing spoke about Cyan Cloud Sect’s recent major events.

In the joint exploration by seven sects, True Master Ling Xiao and True Master Cold Jade of Cyan Cloud Sect stood out.

The two each defeated several Demon Kings blocking them, leading an exploration team, pushing forward over a thousand miles into the Wilderness.

They’ve already discovered two Tier Three Spirit Veins, occupying one each, stationed, and developing.

"In the future, Cyan Cloud Sect will have two more prosperous Immortal Cities!"

Hou Jing said enviously.

"I’ve heard Cyan Cloud Sect has a Spirit Pill called Cold Jade Pill. Is it developed by True Master Cold Jade?"

"Cold Jade Pill ah! Also called Small Purification Base Pill, it’s a Divine Pill developed by Cyan Cloud Sect!"

After all, being in the business’s upper echelon, Hou Jing’s information is quite well-informed.

He talked confidently.

Claiming to have good relations with Shen Xuan, the direct disciple of True Master Cold Jade.

The two had once fought side by side at Bai Family Stronghold, together resisting the Beast Tide, addressing each other as brothers.

"Later? Later Brother Shen became a renowned Pill Master in Cyan Cloud Sect, seldom leaving the sect!"

Mentioning Shen Xuan, Hou Jing’s old face shone with pride, considering it an honor.

Prestigious sects have many sect disciples.

After returning to the sect, sect disciples busying with cultivation, having no news for years is also common.

"In this way, Cyan Cloud Sect sealed my incident of killing Xiao Jinsong."

"Handled my departure lightly."

Even now, Shen Xuan doesn’t believe he betrayed Cyan Cloud Sect.

He just didn’t want to accept the sect’s arrangements, temporarily leaving Cyan Cloud Sect.

Shen Xuan followed the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association and reached Bai Family Stronghold at Cai Xia Ridge smoothly after ten days.

Bai Family’s leader Bai Tiancheng personally received the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association’s personnel.

However, the moment he saw Shen Xuan, he was stunned.
