"Well!"
In the quiet room, Zhao Sheng suddenly groaned and his face turned pale instantly.
He endured the pain of his spirit being torn apart and took the God-Slaying Pearl off his forehead.
Looking at the figure emerging from the jade bead in front of him, Zhao Sheng looked a little depressed.
"Ah, the more you are, the more you are! What on earth do you mean by giving me something I can't use?"
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but sigh and casually put the God-Slaying Pearl back into the storage bag.
More than thirty years ago, he met Yue Qinghan at Tianzhu Mountain and received the God-Slaying Pearl from him.
After so many years, every time he probed into the jade bead, he was met with a sword light.
No matter how he dodged, even using bullet time, he still couldn't dodge for a moment.
In a flash, his divine will was cut off by a sword, and then he suffered a splitting headache and with great mental damage, he withdrew from the jade bead.
As a result, he didn't make much progress in swordsmanship over the years, but the strength of his spiritual power increased a lot.
This also indirectly improved his skills in drawing talismans and making scrolls.
After taking a breath, Zhao Sheng took out a bottle of Resurrection Pills, poured out one and put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
Soon, his mind felt cool and the severe headache immediately subsided a lot.
The Soul-Restoring Pill is a second-level elixir recorded in the alchemy experience of Qiongshen Zhenren.
After Zhao Keru was promoted to the foundation-building stage, his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he successfully refined a furnace in the third year of his retreat in the secret palace.
When Zhao Sheng learned about this, he felt like he had found a treasure. His divine will had been cut off countless times over the years, but he quickly recovered as before, all thanks to the Restore God Pill.
After his spirits improved significantly, Zhao Sheng summoned the Book of Hundred Worlds and turned to the fourth page. The data panel then appeared in his mind:
Name: Zhao Chonghe (Zhao Sheng)
Lifespan: 62/97
Realm: Ninth level of Qi Refining
Occupation: Quasi-Second-Level Talisman Master (7/10)

Martial Arts: Nine Changes of Cloud Dragon...
Looking at the data on the panel, Zhao Sheng sighed at the passing of time, but felt quite satisfied with his own cultivation progress.
After all, he only has four spiritual roots. Even though he has no shortage of elixirs and spirit stones, the upper limit of his refining and absorption is there, and he can't speed up even if he wants to.
"I've just passed my sixtieth birthday, which means I have three chances to break through to the foundation-building stage. Yeah, that's enough."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Sheng's face. After putting away the Book of Hundred Worlds, he stood up and walked out of the quiet room.
As soon as he left the quiet room, he suddenly frowned, his face darkened, and he turned his head to look at the corner and said sternly: "Xuan An, what are you hiding? Get over here!"
"Oh! Uncle Seven, I knew I couldn't hide it from you." After Zhao Xuan'an's whereabouts were exposed, he quickly turned out from the corner, trotted to Zhao Sheng's side, and flattered him.
At this time, Zhao Xuan'an was over thirty years old. He had evolved from a handsome young man into a graceful, mature and handsome male god. He still looked very young, probably in his twenties at most.
Seeing that the man was still acting so unruly, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but get angry and scolded him, "Look at you, you're already over 30, but your mind is still immature. You're hiding here, are you in trouble again?"
Zhao Xuanan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, gave a thumbs-up, and praised, "Seventh Uncle, you are this. Today my mother is urging me to get married quickly, and you know my temper. So, I'm coming to your place to avoid the limelight for a while."
Zhao Sheng frowned and said flatly, "No! If that were all, you would never dare approach me. Tell me, which of your female Taoist friends has come to Taiwu Mountain?"
The reason why Zhao Sheng thought this way was because Zhao Xuanan had a long criminal record.
Ever since this boy first fell in love at sixteen, his playboy nature had quickly become apparent. Who knew where he'd inherited it from? He was born with a sharp tongue, handsome, and a knack for keeping a low profile.
After graduating from the Xiuxian Academy at the age of eighteen, Zhao Xuan'an started to live a carefree life. Over the past decade, he had countless romantic debts and even earned the nickname "Mr. Taoyuan".
Sometimes, Zhao Sheng would wonder if there were too many peach trees on Taiwu Mountain, which caused Zhao Xuan'an to be unlucky in love.
It seems like a romantic opportunity now, but I don't know if it will turn into a romantic disaster in the future.
As Zhao Sheng was thinking this, he heard Zhao Xuan'an say dejectedly, "Seventh Uncle, you have to help me! I'm your only direct disciple. My mother is pushing me hard, and now Xiaofeng has come knocking on my door. I'm at my wit's end."
What Zhao Xuanan said was correct.
He is now the only one in the entire Zhao family who can inherit Zhao Sheng's talisman skills.
Over the years, the number of Zhao's Xuan generation has grown to twenty-three, four of whom have decent talent in the art of talismans.
However, after so many years since Zhao Sheng passed down the art of stacking talismans, only Zhao Xuan'an has successfully practiced it.
Judging from this point alone, Zhao Sheng must value Zhao Xuan'an very much.
But what Zhao Sheng couldn't tolerate was that Zhao Xuan'an actually...
Zhao Sheng slapped Zhao Xuan'an with his hand and shouted angrily, "Whose daughter is Xiaofeng? You haven't even dealt with Xiaolan and Xiaohua yet, and you're getting yourself into another romantic debt. Are you trying to piss off your mother to death?"
Zhao Xuanan rubbed his head and said aggrievedly, "Seventh Uncle, Xiaolan, Huahua, and I are all in true love, and I'm a playboy, but not a slut! But Xiaofeng this time is different. She's been pestering me. I clearly didn't provoke her!"
Before Zhao Sheng could continue his scolding, Zhao Xuan'an said with a mournful face, "I'm in trouble this time. That Xiaofeng is the eldest daughter of the Medicine Immortal Ge family. I heard her grandfather is a Golden Core Immortal."
Zhao Sheng was shocked after hearing this and immediately asked, "Tell me, how did you get involved with her? You're clearly bringing disaster to Taiwu Mountain!"
The Dansheng Ge family is well-known in southern Xinjiang. It is not an ordinary immortal cultivation family, but one of the seven great Dancheng families along with the Danfo Liu family, the Yaoxian Sun family and others.
Although the family does not have a Nascent Soul ancestor, it has more than five Golden Core True Immortals. Compared with them, the Zhao family is nothing but a piece of trash.
Zhao Xuanan thought about it for a moment and said aggrievedly, "I think I drew a photo talisman for her when we met at Youlan Cottage two months ago."
"But other sisters also have it, not just her." Zhao Xuan'an emphasized at the end.
When Zhao Sheng heard this, he became furious.
As the name suggests, a photo talisman is a talisman that can conjure up a person and further beautify their image.
It is a new type of first-level talisman that Zhao Sheng successfully deduced eight years ago by combining Old Man Li's Spring Palace Talisman and the second-level Illusion Talisman in the Secret Talisman Sutra.
In order to teach the illusion talisman, he also taught the photo talisman to Zhao Xuan'an.
Who knew he would actually use it to seduce girls? Bah, what a useless kid.
But Zhao Sheng quickly calmed down. This time was different from the past. If he didn't handle it properly, it might really bring disaster to the Zhao family.
"If it really doesn't work..." Zhao Sheng glanced at Zhao Xuan'an and secretly became angry.
"Tell me quickly, how did you meet? How did you get together? Don't hide anything."
Zhao Xuanan recalled: "Little Feng's name is Ge Feng'er. Half a year ago, I went to Jiuding Market..."
