In the days that followed, Shen Xuan focused wholeheartedly on cultivating talismans.
He didn't even have time to train his young wife.
Primarily because he had tried all sorts of styles, lacking novelty and excitement.
He still focused on the Rejuvenation Talisman, which brought the highest profit.
Occasionally, when tired, he would switch to the Breath Concealment Talisman and Invisibility Talisman.
As his cultivation realm and talisman making skill improved, the mental spiritual power required to create these two talismans drastically reduced, making it more of a leisure activity.
With Zhao Chunsheng's family of four, the household bustled with the warmth of daily life.
Zhao Dahu had a gentle temperament, but Zhao Erhu was restless.
Every time he returned home, he'd bustle around Shen Xuan, running errands and doing chores.
From time to time, Shen Xuan would craft some Breath Concealment Talismans and Invisibility Talismans for him.
As the saying goes, "Don't starve your soldiers." Shen Xuan never let anyone work for free.
Surprisingly, Qin Yuehan replied.
Uncle Ren personally delivered the letter.
The contents were simple, stating she had no time to go out recently. If she passed by Cyan Dragon Bay, she would visit.

Shen Xuan merely smiled and didn't take it to heart.
However, the Ding Family, seeing that Qin Yuehan indeed wrote back, became even more enthusiastic towards him.
Others like Lv Zhengying also replied one after another.
The content was similar, saying they wouldn't come for now, and would see about it later.
Wang Fugui even warmly invited him to Dragon Gate Market, where he had opened a new store selling cultivation spiritual objects.
Shen Xuan replied to everyone politely.
He also declined Wang Fugui's invitation, citing no time.
Now, Shen Xuan was fully immersed in his cultivation.
He purchased juvenile Water Cloud Turtles and used the Spirit Gathering Array.
Although the cost was tremendous,
the visible improvement in strength filled him with hope for cultivation.
After moving to a second-class mansion, there was an added benefit.
The neighbors were far apart and rarely interacted.
This satisfied Shen Xuan, who was disinclined towards socializing.
Nowadays, as he walked, a smile would involuntarily bloom on his face.
A middle-grade Talisman Master, living in a second-class mansion, with Spirit Stones in his pocket, a young wife at home, and a bright path ahead.
Sometimes, he would pass by the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
Watching the charming little enchantresses wave at him.
He thought to himself.
Someday, you will all know how formidable I, Shen Xuan, am!
Yet, he didn't pause and hurriedly left.
He dared not provoke these enchanting little spirits at this time.
They were not ordinary female cultivators.
Many were registered disciples of the Hehuan Sect.
Experts in the arts of harvesting yin to supplement yang.
Many young cultivators without experience, once ensnared by their allure,
would find both their Spirit Stones and essence wiped out.
Unless one possessed great strength, strengthening essence and locking yang, or even reversed celestial spirits, gathering yin to supplement yang.
Shen Xuan could only imagine, not daring to take reckless risks at present.
Returning home.
Jiang Xueqi suddenly approached, casting him a meaningful glance.
"A guest has arrived."
As soon as he entered, he saw a beautiful female cultivator sitting in the first-floor reception room.
She looked to be in her thirties, dressed luxuriously, still retaining her charm.
The aura around her was strong, at least in the late stage of Qi Cultivation.
The female cultivator was speaking with Zhao Chunsheng, but the moment Shen Xuan entered, she noticed him.
"This must be Talisman Master Shen Xuan."
Shen Xuan quickly responded respectfully, "I am Shen Xuan. May I ask how I should address you?"
The female cultivator smiled, "I am Leng Ningxiang, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Hehuan Sect, and the overseer of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion at Cyan Dragon Bay."
Looking for someone in Antwerp todayWilling to lie about how we met
"Ah, it is Pavilion Master Leng in person. Shen Xuan didn't recognize an important person, my apologies!"
Shen Xuan hurriedly bowed and saluted.
The Hehuan Sect was a great sect spanning several countries.
Leng Ningxiang's status and position were among the top at Cyan Dragon Bay.
Shen Xuan dared not belittle her.
Zhao Chunsheng came over to introduce, "Pavilion Master Leng heard that Talisman Master Shen's Rejuvenation Talisman is excellent and affordable, so she personally came to order some."
"It's nothing, just the kindness of fellow cultivators."
Shen Xuan modestly replied.
The three exchanged pleasantries for a while.
With Zhao Chunsheng coordinating, Shen Xuan and Leng Ningxiang signed a sales agreement.
In the future, Shen Xuan would provide twenty high-quality Rejuvenation Talismans each month, with the price fixed at fifty Spirit Stones.
Regardless of external fluctuations, this price would remain unchanged.
The Spirit Contract was initially signed for a year.
After a year, it could be renewed depending on the circumstances.
As he was seeing Leng Ningxiang out, she suddenly handed him a Jade Token.
"A VIP Jade Token for the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion. At any Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, your expenses will have a thirty percent discount, excluding the tête-à-tête fees."
The tête-à-tête fees are the dual cultivation costs paid directly to the enchantresses.
Shen Xuan instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Talisman Master Shen, keep it for now. It might be useful someday."
Leng Ningxiang displayed a cryptic smile at the corner of her lips, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Shen Xuan had to reluctantly accept it.
Back inside.
Zhao Chunsheng looked regretful.
From now on, Shen Xuan wouldn't need his help to sell his high-quality Rejuvenation Talismans.
"Pavilion Master Leng came personally because she heard your Water Technique Rejuvenation Talisman has special effects in some aspects."
"Ah!" It was Shen Xuan's first time hearing about it.
"Talisman Master Shen, you weren't aware?"
"I haven't used it."
Shen Xuan possessed a Healing Talent, offering better effects than a high-quality Rejuvenation Talisman, so he had never used one.
"Tsk tsk. Just now, what did Pavilion Master Leng gift you?"
Shen Xuan showed it to him.
"A thirty-percent VIP Jade Token! That's a treasure. In the future, it'll save a lot of Spirit Stones at the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion!"
"Want to borrow it and have fun a few times?"
"No need. The Jade Token has a serial number; lending it won't work."
Only then did Shen Xuan discover that on the back of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion's VIP Jade Token, there was a small inscribed serial.
"Cyan Dragon Bay A108."
...
Two months later.
Inside the Practice Room.
With the golden light of the Mysterious Jade Talisman, the essence blood of three juvenile Water Cloud Turtles was absorbed.
[Talent: Longevity Introduction (2/100)]
[Dao Rhyme: 96]
[Spirit Root: Water 20/100]
Then checking his lifespan.
[Lifespan: 66/125]
What a find, just entering, and his lifespan increased by ten years!
Shen Xuan practiced the Longevity Technique, and his internal aura weakened; his metabolism seemed to slow, entering a tranquil state.
His breathing steadied, with each breath notably longer.
It felt like floating among giant creatures in the ocean, strands of azure Spiritual Qi entering his body with each breath, like gentle streams nourishing his internal organs, finally converging in his Dantian.
[Talent: Longevity Introduction (3/100)]
A Small Circulation increased his skill points by one.
"Good, the skill proficiency can increase with cultivation."
The Dao Rhyme Points he acquired, Shen Xuan continued allocating to his Healing Talent.
[Talent: Self-Healing Mastery (10/400)]
Seeing the Healing talent advance to mastery, Shen Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now, the effect of using a single Self-Healing Technique could be three to five times that of a high-quality Rejuvenation Talisman.
"Does that mean I've become an indestructible cockroach?"
Shen Xuan mused silently.
As long as he didn't suffer a critically fatal blow, he could recover.
Then, Shen Xuan practiced the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, noticing the circulation of spiritual power became smoother than before.
He felt even more attuned to the Water Spiritual Qi within the practice room.
Guiding with his Divine Sense, the circulation speed of the spiritual power inside sped up, imparting a lightness akin to swiftness.
An hour later.
He slowly opened his eyes, concluding his training.
Carefully sensing the spiritual power within.
Unconcealable excitement bubbled in his heart.
Even with just an hour of cultivation, the spiritual power within him had grown more robust.
At this pace, he only needed about four more years of cultivation to break through to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer!
If he activated the Spirit Gathering Array, the time could be reduced to two years!
"No wonder it's a middle-grade Spirit Root. Not only is cultivation faster, the spiritual power is purer!"
