Qingyang Market, Xiaoyao Tower.

It was the trading day for Foundation Establishment cultivators from the four major families of Qingyang Prefecture.

In the VIP box on the third floor, a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators were seated.

They exchanged pleasantries, shared information, and chatted about events in the cultivation world.

It's not time to make a deal yet.

They were all acquaintances who had lived in Qingyang Prefecture for many years, and their voices and laughter rose and fell.

These people gathered together and seemed to have a good relationship, but in reality, they were divided into four distinct factions.

The Su family has the fewest members.

Only Su Huaicheng and Zhuang Ping were present.

Zhuang Ping is alright.

He was a retainer of the Su family.

The second-tier puppets that are made are still in high demand.

People would occasionally approach him for talks.

Su Huaicheng, on the other hand, was truly all alone.

They were there to make up the numbers on behalf of the Su family.

The cultivators from the other three Foundation Establishment families were unwilling to pay him any attention.

If it weren't for Master Gufeng of the Qingyun Sect sending disciples to support him...

The Su family of Feiyun will be expelled from this gathering.

"The White Lotus Fairy has arrived!"

One of them seemed to have discovered something and cried out in surprise.

The Zhou family, who tamed beasts, and some Foundation Establishment cultivators who were interested in the White Lotus Fairy all looked towards the main street of the market below Xiaoyao Tower.

In sight.

A crimson serpent, several dozen feet long, moved stiffly, enveloped by a large amount of water elemental energy, slowly approaching the Xiaoyao Tower.

Nearby, there were scattered cultivators marveling at the sight.

The crimson serpent moved seemingly slowly.

Actually, the speed is acceptable.

In just over ten breaths, they arrived at the foot of Xiaoyao Tower.

More and more independent cultivators gathered to watch.

Even on the third floor, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the four major families noticed the abnormality of the crimson dragon.

"hiss!"

Someone gasped.

"This is a mid-grade second-tier water demon that has been entrenched in the Canglang River of our Qingyang Prefecture for many years? It turns out to be a Crimson Flame Serpent!"

He exclaimed in disbelief, "The White Lotus Fairy killed the Crimson Flame Serpent! She actually possesses such power!"

The voice fell.

The people in the private room looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise.

The Zhou family head, who had been silent all along, suddenly coughed softly.

He is the biological father of the White Lotus Fairy.

They were fully aware of the White Lotus Fairy's strength.

A few days ago, his seventh brother, who was known as the number one person in the Zhou family after the Zhou family patriarch, hunted that Crimson Flame Serpent.

He returned dejectedly and fell seriously ill.

The Silverwing Serpent, which had been cultivated for many years, had become a dead serpent.

The White Lotus Fairy used it to exchange for the warship in the hands of the talisman master Shen Xuan.

It can be considered a way to reuse waste and recover some of the losses.

"Bai Lian doesn't have that ability."

The Zhou family head said it casually.

"Could it be the talisman master Shen Xuan?"

Someone muttered something.

These people had lived in Qingyang Prefecture for many years and were well aware of the White Lotus Fairy's strength.

Early stage of Foundation Establishment, Water-based cultivator.

His combat skills are only passable.

After all, she is a female cultivator, so it's normal that her combat power is not as strong as that of male cultivators.

It does have some support capabilities.

However, to say that she could hunt down a mid-grade second-tier dragon snake on her own would be an exaggeration.

Soon, they found out.

It really was the talisman master Shen Xuan.

The White Lotus Fairy found the manager of Xiaoyao Tower and borrowed some manpower to deal with the Crimson Flame Flood Dragon.

Skinning, scaling, removing horns, chopping claws, pulling out tendons, extracting gallbladders, extracting demon cores...

and many more.

Shen Xuan kept a close watch on all the actions of Xiaoyaolou's many companions.

It is obvious that he is the true owner of the Crimson Flame Serpent's corpse.

This silenced the many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the private room.

Although they respectfully addressed Shen Xuan as a Grand Master cultivator.

But Shen Xuan, who only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at over eighty years old and only two or three years into his Foundation Establishment, is merely a Talisman Master. How high can his strength be?
Never imagined.

They were actually able to hunt down the Crimson Flame Flood Dragon, which had been entrenched in the Canglang River of Qingyang Prefecture for many years.

This is something that even the three family patriarchs, Zhou, Zhao, and Wu, could not do.

It's not that they lack ability.

Instead, the Crimson Flame Flood Dragon remained hidden deep beneath the Canglang River, rarely showing itself, and the three family patriarchs were unable to deal with it.

"When did the relationship between the White Lotus Fairy and the Talisman Master Shen Xuan become so good?!"

Someone sighed softly, their eyes filled with undisguised envy.

Normally, the White Lotus Fairy has the appearance of a beautiful, icy snow lotus from a high mountain.

At this moment, she nestled against Shen Xuan, her pretty face radiating pride and happiness, occasionally directing the Xiaoyao Tower staff to do their work.

The Zhou family head gave a wink to one of his clansmen.

The Zhou family Foundation Establishment cultivator quietly left the private room.

"Ninth Sister, what are you doing here?"

The White Lotus Fairy blushed slightly with excitement.

"Fourth Uncle, have they all arrived?"

"Most of them have arrived. This serpent..."

"This was hunted by Master Shen and me together. We'll auction it off in the private room later!"

The Zhou family's Foundation Establishment cultivator politely clasped his hands in a salute to Shen Xuan.

"Zhou Jinshan thanks Master Shen for taking care of my niece Bai Lian."

"No, she's very capable."

Shen Xuan smiled and returned the greeting.

In front of the Zhou family cultivators, they gave the White Lotus Fairy plenty of face.

Shen Xuan carefully put away the demon core and essence blood.

They took away important materials such as snake gall, dragon horn, dragon claws, and dragon tendons.

He instructed the staff at Xiaoyao Tower to properly process the remaining dragon meat and skin.

"Let's go up too!"

"it is good!"

The White Lotus Fairy took the initiative to link arms with Shen Xuan, as if asserting her dominance, as proud as a peacock, and together they went upstairs and into the VIP room.

"Master Shen! Over here!"

Zhuang Ping waved to greet him.

But the White Lotus Fairy pulled Shen Xuan forcefully, leading him to the Zhou family cultivators' side.

Zhuang Ping's voice suddenly caught in his throat.

All eyes turned to Shen Xuan.

"Shen Lang, this is Zhou Jinxing, the patriarch of the Zhou family of Beast Taming. He is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, an earth-based cultivator, and a second-tier weapon refiner..."

The White Lotus Fairy gently nibbled on Shen Xuan's ear.

"My father."

"However, you don't need to be afraid of him. My relationship with him is just so-so. He can't control me."

Shen Xuan suddenly had a look of realization.

"Shen Xuan, a talisman master from the Qingyun Sect, greets Brother Zhou! I hope Brother Zhou will take good care of me in the future."

"Not at all, not at all. Fellow Daoist Shen's skill is beyond my reach! In the future, I will need Fellow Daoist Shen to take good care of the Zhou family of Beast Tamers!"

"That's right! Everyone regards the Qingyun Sect as their sect leader, so Master Shen can't show favoritism!"

In name, Qingyang Prefecture is within the sphere of influence of the Qingyun Sect.

These cultivation families are all vassal forces of the Qingyun Sect.

You must obey the orders of the Qingyun Sect.

When reclaiming wasteland, they all had to contribute manpower, effort, and money.

“No problem! My stay at the Su family in Feiyun this time is not a sect mission. It is my master’s will.”

Shen Xuan offered an explanation.

"We're all on the same side! For over a thousand years, the Zhao, Zhou, Wu, and Su families have never been different!"

Someone said with a smile.

His words drew the approval of many cultivators.

Shen Xuan smiled and agreed.

He couldn't possibly offend the more powerful Zhao, Zhou, and Wu families for the sake of the Feiyun Su family.

Fighting without breaking apart, sometimes fighting and sometimes making peace, is the norm among cultivation families.

With the help of the White Lotus Fairy.

Apart from the demon core and essence blood, all the materials and snake meat obtained from the decomposition of the Crimson Flame Serpent were sold out.

The majority of the purchases came from the Zhou family, who were known for their beast taming skills.

What amused Shen Xuan was...

Facing her biological father, the White Lotus Fairy refused to yield an inch.

The price is very tight.

So much so that after the transaction was completed, the Zhou family head glared fiercely at the White Lotus Fairy a few times.

The White Lotus Fairy was completely unaware.

Or rather, she simply doesn't care.

These sold for 67,000 spirit stones.

As agreed, Shen Xuan allocated 15,000 spirit stones to her.

"Shen Lang! You're so kind!"

In front of everyone, the White Lotus Fairy kissed Shen Xuan.

His eyes were full of smiles.
