Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 176 At the Engagement Banquet (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Upon hearing this news, Shen Xuan felt quite uneasy.

"Patriarch Su, do you know Murong Jun's true identity?"

He was lost in thought.

Logically speaking, the Su family had no reason to betray the Qingyun Sect.

However, anything can happen.

If the Wu family is unreliable, is the Su family necessarily reliable?
What are the real reasons behind Murong Jun's marriage into the Su family?

Shen Xuan had no idea.

It is said that this matter has been approved by both families.

Su Jiayuan and Murong Gongzi both agreed.

Once an auspicious date is chosen, the engagement banquet can be held.

Shen Xuan once warned Murong Jun.

Tell him not to cause trouble in Qingyang Prefecture.

Just a year later, he started causing trouble?

"Ever-changing, vanishing without a trace!"

“After Murong Jun marries into the family, the children born will inevitably bear the surname Su and will be core members of the Su family.”

"If one has exceptional talent..."

Shen Xuan quickly figured out the key points.

Murong Jun's goal remains the same: to seize control of the entire Qingyang Prefecture.

Huang Feng and Murong were just the first stop.

Feiyun Su family was his second stop.

The Blood Spirit Sect's techniques are bizarre, and they excel at invisibility and disguise.

He could be either Murong Jun or a descendant of Murong Jun.

Su Jiayuan, that pretty face, was easily captivated by him.

"Perhaps, Patriarch Su really didn't see through Murong Jun's identity."

"The Blood Spirit Sect's cultivation techniques are indeed wicked!"

"However, since he dared to marry into the Su family, he must have something to offer!"

Demonic cultivators are inherently suspicious.

If he wasn't confident, why would Murong Jun risk his life so lightly?
If he marries into the Su family, isn't he afraid of being killed by Shen Xuan?

Perhaps he possesses a secret technique, making him confident that he can contend with Shen Xuan.

At the very least, their lives are in danger.

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan became irritable.

He genuinely didn't want to become enemies with these holy sons and daughters of the Demonic Sect.

If we lose, our lives will be in danger.

We won, but there weren't many benefits.

Not cost-effective.

But we can't turn a blind eye or ignore it!
"A single punch can ward off a hundred more!"

Making concessions at every step is not the solution!
……

More than ten days later.

This was the day Su Jiayuan and Murong Jun got engaged.

The location was chosen to be Xiaoyao Tower.

This is also the highest-class restaurant in Qingyang Prefecture.

Normally, ordinary cultivators don't even have the right to enter the building.

With Su Xue'er's help, Shen Xuan put on a brocade robe.

When they arrived at Xiaoyao Tower, it was already filled with cultivators.

The atmosphere was quite lively.

The Su family is, after all, one of the four great cultivation families in Qingyang Prefecture.

Even in decline, its lingering influence remains.

All the prominent Foundation Establishment families in Qingyang Prefecture sent representatives to participate.

The White Lotus Fairy had long ago instructed the staff of Xiaoyao Tower to keep an eye on Shen Xuan.

As soon as he arrived, the waiter went to inform him.

The White Lotus Fairy came downstairs and naturally took Shen Xuan's arm, as if to assert her dominance.

In the crowd, Shen Xuan saw Qian Zhiwen's astonished face.

Along the way, Shen Xuan encountered many Foundation Establishment cultivators who greeted him, and he returned their greetings one by one.

The main point is to be approachable.

The second floor of Xiaoyao Tower.

The Su family head and the Murong family head personally greeted the guests here.

"Master Shen, your presence is an honor. I, Su, have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"

"Fellow Daoist Su, you're too kind!"

Shen Xuan's gaze fell on the head of the Murong family.

He was over a hundred years old and in the early stages of foundation building.

In the [Insight Technique], this person is just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He secretly cast a spell to "attract good fortune and avoid misfortune," but there was no response.

In other words, this person poses no threat to me.

"Oh, this is my gift to the newlyweds!"

Shen Xuan handed over two high-quality thunder talismans.

The head of the Su family's eyes lit up.

"This is a top-quality [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman]!"

Shen Xuan's ability to create exquisite thunder talismans has always been a secret.

Even the head of the Su family didn't know.

"Master Shen's talisman skills are becoming more and more exquisite; he can even create high-quality [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talismans]!"

"The head of the Su family sighed."

"Brother Su, keep it safe. You might need it soon."

After saying that, Shen Xuan went straight upstairs.

He was in a hurry to meet with Murong Jun. The remaining head of the Su family stood there, his face full of confusion.

"We'll be able to use it soon, Master Shen. What do you mean by that?"

Beside him, the head of the Murong family was equally astonished.

High-quality thunder talismans are not something that can be made casually.

An ordinary lightning talisman possesses 30% of the power of a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator specializing in lightning magic.

Logically speaking, the premium Vaillant should double in price.

Sixty percent of the attack power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator using Thunder Magic is enough to threaten most Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.

He couldn't help but feel secretly worried.

……

"Shen Lang, can you create high-quality thunder talismans?"

The White Lotus Fairy's eyes shone brightly.

Undisguised admiration and pride.

"My talisman skills have improved recently, and I can occasionally create them."

"Wait, stay away from me and that newlywed couple."

The White Lotus Fairy was taken aback.

"why?"

"Be good! Be good! Don't ask so many questions!"

"Oh well."

Seeing that Shen Xuan's expression was serious and not joking, the White Lotus Fairy responded obediently.

Shen Xuan has a special identity.

As soon as I got to the second floor, the restaurant staff led me to the front of the lobby.

On the stage stood the betrothed couple.

With her meticulously made-up face, Su Jiayuan and the handsome Murong Jun looked like a perfect couple, attracting everyone's attention.

Shen Xuan walked straight forward.

Su Jiayuan looked smug.

She not only found her ideal husband.

He was even willing to marry into the Su family for her.

Even his grandfather, who was the head of the family, spoke highly of Murong Jun.

He made a solemn vow to ensure that Murong Jun would lay a solid foundation for his path.

"Senior Shen!"

Su Jiayuan gave a slight curtsy, her voice brimming with undisguised smugness.

"Miss Su, please come here for a moment."

Su Jiayuan was somewhat surprised.

He glanced at Shen Xuan.

She smiled sweetly.

"Senior Shen, is there anything you wish to instruct me on?"

"Let's talk about it when we come down!"

Shen Xuan was getting impatient.

There's nothing to say about this kind of idiot.

If it weren't for the sake of the Su family head...

He couldn't care less whether she lived or died.

Su Jiayuan smiled at Murong Jun and said, "Senior Shen is looking for me, I'll be right back."

Murong Jun smiled and nodded.

"I wonder if Senior Shen has something to discuss with me?"

With everyone watching, Su Jiayuan wasn't worried that Shen Xuan would do anything impolite.

did not expect.

Shen Xuan waved his long sleeves.

They rolled her up completely and threw her behind them.

"Stay in the back and don't cause any trouble!"

Then, Shen Xuan took a step forward.

One step takes three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

He went straight up onto the stage and stood in front of Murong Jun.

"Murong Jun, I warned you not to cause trouble in Qingyang Prefecture!"

"Are you ignoring what I said?"

Murong Jun looked puzzled.

"What does Senior Shen mean by this?"

"Murong followed his elders' orders and married Su Jiayuan. Why is Senior Shen angry?"

offstage.

The many guests whispered among themselves.

"What does Master Shen mean by this?"

"I heard that Master Shen was interested in Su Jiayuan, but Su Jiayuan didn't reciprocate his feelings. Helpless, Master Shen had no choice but to take a woman from a collateral branch of the Su family as his concubine!"

"I see! Master Shen is too petty! Why hold a grudge over such a trivial matter!"

"Exactly! Beautiful young female cultivators aren't exactly rare to us!"

"You wouldn't believe it! Master Shen especially likes Su Jiayuan's type!"

Hearing all this nonsense.

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

Even in the world of cultivation, gossip remains prevalent.

He used his spiritual power and said in a loud voice, "Murong Jun, you demonic son of the Blood Spirit Sect, you are ever-changing and reckless. Do you really think my Qingyang Prefecture has no one to rely on!"

"Look at the sword!"

Having said that, Shen Xuan drew his Azure Water Sword, its chilling aura emanating from it.

With a series of hand seals, a solid ice dragon leaped out from the Azure Water Sword, baring its fangs and roaring as it sped toward Murong Jun!
