Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 132 Thunder Talisman Appears (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

The gazes of more than a dozen clan elders all fell upon the two [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talismans] in the hands of the Su family head.

It shone with golden light, and there was a faint sound of thunder.

The violent lightning energy flowed slowly across the surface of the talisman.

"You should all take a look!"

The head of the Su family passed two [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talismans] to the clan elders.

"Is this really my ancestor's [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman]?"

"This Shen Xuan is something else!"

"A second-tier lightning talisman! If someone in my Su family could create a second-tier lightning talisman, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

Everyone turned to look at the seated head of the Su family.

At this moment, the head of the Su family actually relaxed.

As long as Shen Xuan can create the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman], it will be worth it no matter how much Millennium Thunder Crystal Bamboo he consumes.

"Su Xue'er, did Master Shen mention his success rate with lightning talismans?"

Someone asked eagerly.

Su Xue'er shook her head: "This servant never inquires about my husband's cultivation matters."

In fact, Su Xue'er was merely Shen Xuan's concubine.

Calling Shen Xuan "husband" was extremely reluctant.

Neither of them held a marriage ceremony.

Su Xueer took the initiative to climb into Shen Xuan's bed.

However, Shen Xuan resides in the Su family's Tingyuxuan.

He had no cultivation partner by his side.

When Su Xue'er tried calling him "husband," Shen Xuan did not deny it.

Only then did she dare to manage Tingyuxuan as the mistress of the house.

The head of the Su family smiled and said, "Continue to ensure the supply of Thunder Crystal Bamboo, and keep quiet about it from the outside world. Do not reveal that Master Shen is making Thunder Talismans. That's all, everyone can leave now!"

"Su Xue'er, stay here for a moment."

The elders dispersed one by one.

The look in their eyes revealed a hint of joy.

The council chamber was empty.

The head of the Su family looked at Su Xue'er in front of him, his feelings complicated.

He knew some things about Shen Xuan.

He was a longtime friend of Qin Yuehan, a disciple of the Lone Peak Immortal, and with Qin Yuehan's help, he established his Dao foundation at the age of eighty-five.

He previously had only one mortal wife, but they separated after he achieved the Foundation Establishment stage.

Originally, he wanted his granddaughter Su Jiayuan to marry Shen Xuan and become a couple in dual cultivation.

This will allow Shen Xuan to be integrated into the Su family.

Su Jiayuan has a mid-grade spiritual root, is nineteen years old, and is at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Spoiled since childhood, with extremely high standards.

Su Jiayuan disliked Shen Xuan for being too old and was unwilling to follow his arrangements.

While the head of the Su family was still planning and considering new candidates.

Unexpectedly, this young girl from a collateral branch of the family, at such a young age, possessed such cunning and courage.

burn one's boats.

She climbed into Shen Xuan's bed that very day.

She transformed herself into Shen Xuan's concubine.

"Is Master Shen good to you?"

"My husband treats me very well."

"Can his offspring be allowed to remain?"

Su Xueer blushed.

She shook her head slightly.

The two have been together for almost two years.

If Shen Xuan had wanted to, she would have been pregnant long ago.

"Ugh!"

The head of the Su family sighed deeply.

He hoped that Shen Xuan would integrate into the Su family.

It would be best to formally marry a female cultivator from the Su family and have children together.

Instead of merely staying at the Feiyun Su family for thirty years before leaving.

Shen Xuan represents the face of the Lone Peak True Person of the Qingyun Sect.

As long as he is at Feiyun Mountain, the other three major cultivation families of Qingyang Prefecture cannot push him too far.

However, these things can't be forced.

Thinking of this, the head of the Su family said softly, "Go back. Serve Master Shen well. Tell Master Shen that I will pay him a visit in a few days."

At this moment, the head of the Su family felt a pang of regret.

If I had known that Shen Xuan was so talented in talisman arts, I should have been more assertive and let my granddaughter Su Jiayuan take the initiative to approach Shen Xuan.

In terms of family background, appearance, temperament, and qualifications, Su Jiayuan far surpasses Su Xueer in the present.

He hesitated for a moment and missed the opportunity, leaving him filled with regret.

This is a genius talisman master who can create second-tier lightning talismans!
……

The head of the Su family issued a gag order to the family.

Nevertheless, the news that the Su family's talisman masters could create second-tier thunder talismans still spread.

The head of the Su family was helpless in the face of this.

He could even guess who had leaked the information.

The White Lotus Fairy of the Zhou Family of Beast Tamers.

The ancestor was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and the family had more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

There are also more than ten second-tier spirit birds and beasts. In terms of strength, the Zhou family, who control beasts, is the leading cultivation family in Qingyang Prefecture.

"Could it be that the White Lotus Fairy has taken a liking to Shen Xuan?!"

The head of the Su family became wary.

He can't wait.

He personally paid a visit to Shen Xuan.

"Master Shen, what do you think of this cooperation agreement?"

The head of the Su family took out a spirit contract and placed it on the table.

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense, a slight look of surprise on his face.

The terms offered by the Su family were quite good.

The Su family provided the Thunder Crystal Bamboo, which was used to make the corresponding talisman paper and cinnabar.

Shen Xuan only needs to focus on making the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman].

The Su family only accepted 25% of the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman], with the remainder going to Shen Xuan.

Moreover, there is no time limit.

"Master Shen, our Su family is very sincere in offering these terms!"

The head of the Su family said with a smile, "Master Shen, please give me some face and don't try to lower the price any further. I also have to answer to the Su family."

Generally speaking, the cost of a talisman is about 30%.

Therefore, a success rate of 30% is the break-even point for talisman masters.

The Su family only accepted 25%, showing their sincerity.

However, the Su family did not suffer any losses.

The Thunder Crystal Bamboo was transformed into a second-tier Thunder Talisman, resulting in a significant increase in its added value.

For a cultivation family to revive, the first requirement is sufficient cultivation resources.

Only with resources can one cultivate one's people.

The process of going from a Foundation Establishment seed to a Foundation Establishment cultivator requires a lot of spirit stones and cultivation resources.

The Foundation Establishment Pill alone costs 30,000 spirit stones, and it's still hard to find even if it's available.

"No problem. It'll be a pleasure doing business with you!"

Shen Xuan casually added his spiritual signature.

The head of the Su family immediately beamed with joy.

"Master Shen is so generous! If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know!"

"Oh, there is indeed something."

Shen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony.

"If the Su family obtains the essence blood of a second-tier water-attribute demon beast, please sell it to me, Shen, first."

The two discussed it for a while.

The [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] is not for sale to the public in principle.

If sold in small quantities, the price will be set at 300 spirit stones per piece.

That price is indeed expensive.

It's equivalent to almost half a high-grade magic weapon.

However, cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage can activate the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman].

It is equivalent to 30% of the power of a full-force attack from a Thunderclap Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages.

It surpasses many ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It is indeed a rare and valuable trump card.

Things are rare.

No matter how high the price, there's no worry about a lack of market demand.

This transaction involved a large sum of money and took a long time.

It is extremely beneficial to both parties.

Shen Xuan will stay in the Su family for another twenty-eight years.

This is a good time to keep a low profile and focus on self-cultivation.

……

For the next three months, Shen Xuan secluded himself, focusing on cultivation, talisman making, and refining corpse beasts.

Like the Golden Clawed Divine Eagle, the Silver-Winged Teng Snake was also subjected to a large pit dug by him, which he then soaked in with the Spirit-Locking Array and the Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid.

Fortunately, he is now quite wealthy.

Activating three spirit-locking arrays simultaneously, along with preparing such a large amount of Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid, would cost three thousand spirit stones per month.

Listening to the Rain Pavilion is a second-tier low-grade Daoist temple, and its spiritual environment is compatible with his cultivation level.

In order to speed up his cultivation, Shen Xuan purchased a spirit-locking array and opened it for six hours every day.

This is also the upper limit of his daily cultivation.

The remaining time was spent making talismans and refining corpse beasts.

Every three days, one must regularly practice the [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique], separating a wisp of divine thought and attaching it to the corpse beast to familiarize oneself with its bodily functions.

At this time, what maintains the body functions of the corpse beast is the Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid, which has absorbed spiritual energy.

It functioned similarly to the blood of demonic beasts.

The cultivator used his divine sense to guide the flow of the Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid within the Corpse Beast's body, thereby controlling the Corpse Beast.

At this time, the production of thunder talismans gradually got on track.

The Su family was responsible for all the talismans and cinnabar.

Shen Xuan makes ten talismans a day, and three of them are completed.

Each month, five or six Thunder Talismans can be saved, two or three of which are of high quality.

You can earn more than two thousand spirit stones in a month!
"As expected, skilled craftsmen are still in demand!"

A rough calculation shows that Shen Xuan could earn 30,000 spirit stones a year just by making thunder talismans!

More than enough to cover daily expenses.

After twenty-eight years of talisman making, one could accumulate six or seven hundred thousand spirit stones, enough to bid on a decent second-tier spirit land on land!
