Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 297 A Fateful Encounter with Romantic Encounters (Seeking Subscriptions)

Qianzhu Jushi put down his teacup and stared at Shen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, this matter is of great importance. Qianzhu would like to confirm whether you are truly confident in your ability to create the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman]?"

Shen Xuan smiled and said softly, "I wouldn't say I'm absolutely certain."

Qianzhu Jushi's expression changed slightly.

He then solemnly said with a serious expression, "I am about 70-80% confident. It will take me at most two years, and at least one year, to master the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman]."

proficient?
Qianzhu Jushi's eyes lit up.

The mastery of talismans, as a term used by talisman masters, requires a success rate of at least 30% in creating talismans.

Otherwise, income will not cover expenses, and making talismans will become a losing business.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, we fought side by side in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm. Qianzhu trusts your character.”

"I think to myself," said the hermit of the Thousand Bamboo.

"I won't lie to you. The younger the age of the Thunder Sound Bamboo, the easier it is to survive."

"In the Xuanzhu Sect, a hundred-year-old Thunder Sound Bamboo is not considered a rare item."

"If Fellow Daoist Shen were to use Thunder Sound Bamboo as the raw material to create the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman], Qianzhu would be willing to cooperate with you sincerely for a long time. What do you say?"

At this moment, Qianzhu Jushi was no longer a hermit who did not concern himself with worldly affairs, but a seasoned and mature Foundation Establishment cultivator of the sect.

A collaboration between the two?
Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

In this way, the profits from the creation of the Thunder Talisman would be shared between the two of them through negotiation.

It has nothing to do with their respective sects.

There is no need to fear the attitude of the Xuanzhu Sect Master.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu's suggestion is exactly what I was thinking. I just want to ask, Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, can you guarantee the supply of Thunder Sound Bamboo?"

This is the issue that Shen Xuan cares about most.

He bypassed Master Xuanzhu and collaborated with him alone.

If Qianzhu Jushi didn't have a strong network of connections within the Xuanzhu Sect, he could easily have lost all his previous efforts and given up halfway.

"Fellow Daoist Shen need not worry. Qianzhu is capable of this."

"I am a hermit of the Thousand Bamboo," said the hermit with considerable confidence.

"That's good."

The two discussed the specific details of their collaboration.

Between the spirit stone and the thunder talisman, the hermit of the Thousand Bamboo did not hesitate to choose the thunder talisman.

Previously, Shen Xuan had cooperated with the Su family of Feiyun Mountain.

This time, the terms were copied verbatim.

The hermit of Qianzhu was responsible for making corresponding talismans and cinnabar from a hundred-year-old Leiyin bamboo.

Shen Xuan then used 25% of the amount of the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] to offset the cost of the talisman paper and cinnabar.

In addition, Shen Xuan added a clause.

He could buy some hundred-year-old Thunder Sound Bamboo for three thousand spirit stones each to practice on.

Shen Xuan explained that he also needed to learn how to make talisman paper and cinnabar, just in case.

Qianzhu Jushi expressed his understanding of this.

After all, a talisman master still needs to learn the entire process of talisman making.

Even if you delegate the task to someone else, you must ensure that you are proficient in it yourself.

“Given our relationship, there’s no need for a written pact. We’ll agree verbally to settle accounts each time.”

"We must keep Lei He's cooperation a secret and not disclose it to anyone."

Shen Xuan suggested.

After a moment's thought, the hermit of Qianzhu readily agreed.

In this way, Lei's cooperation is limited to the collaboration between the two of them.

They are more likely to keep secrets.

Shen Xuan only wanted to cultivate in a low-key manner and did not want to cause trouble.

Qianzhu Jushi did not want others to know about this matter and share in her profits.

The two hit it off.

After discussing and agreeing on the details.

Qianzhu Jushi is preparing to return to his sect.

According to her, the first batch of Thunder Bamboo materials will be delivered in two months.

Shen Xuan generously prepaid 50,000 spirit stones.

This collaboration was a win-win situation for everyone.

Ordinary talismans, with a 30% chance of breaking even.

However, for a mid-grade second-tier thunder talisman, 20% is enough to break even.

This is also the time of the great battle between the Dao and the Demon, and there is still a certain premium.

Moreover, the second-tier mid-grade thunder talisman is quite powerful, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators use it as a trump card.

Qianzhu Jushi also gained a lot of connections as a result.

Watching the hermit of Qianzhu leave happily.

Shen Xuan knew that Qianzhu Jushi had benefited greatly from Lei He's cooperation this time.

However, the one who benefited the most was Shen Xuan himself!
……

The Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

Shen Xuan showed his identity jade token, registered, and had just stepped inside when he encountered an acquaintance.

It was none other than his seventh junior sister, Wu Yuting.

Originally, the sisters were confined to Xiaogu Peak for a year by their master.

Later, the two assisted Gu Jinqin and performed well.

This is why the ban was lifted ahead of schedule.

"Senior Brother Xuanming, you're so kind. You helped Yuting buy cultivation techniques!"

"Unlike that senior student who talks a good game, but can't help at all!"

Wu Yuting said in a sweet voice.

He coaxed Senior Brother Xuanming into becoming confident and exuding an air of self-assurance.

Shen Xuan looked on with a black line on his face.

These two sisters are really troublemakers.

He directly deceived his fellow disciples within the sect.

Shen Xuan glanced at Senior Brother Xuanming.

They were still smug and self-satisfied.

So easily outmaneuvered by Wu Yuting.

Nine times out of ten, he was captivated by Wu Yuting's beauty.

Shen Xuan quietly disappeared into the crowd.

He had no desire to acknowledge Wu Yuting as his acquaintance.

As for reminding Senior Brother Xuanming...

That is impossible!

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer.

He wouldn't be so bored as to ruin Wu Yuting's good time.

In the future, Senior Brother Xuanming will be troubled by love and lose both his love and his wealth.

But I also gained growth, so it was worth it.

Men, how can you grow up quickly if you're not deceived by women!
This time, Shen Xuan came to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion with a specific target in mind for his exchange.

Coincidentally.

He was greeted by Lu Zhengming, the disciple of the Enforcement Pavilion who had guided him last time.

After recognizing Shen Xuan, they quickly reported to the elder in charge, Deng Xiangdong.

"Junior Brother Shen, you've arrived without even telling me!"

Deng Xiangdong was exceptionally warm towards Shen Xuan, personally receiving him and leading him into the office of the Law Enforcement Pavilion.

Shen Xuan quickly bowed and said, "Shen Xuan greets Senior Brother Deng."

"Which cultivation technique does Junior Brother wish to exchange for this time?"

"Senior Brother Deng, I, Shen, wish to exchange for the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman]."

"Junior Brother Shen, please have a seat. I will fetch it for you right away."

Deng Xiangdong personally retrieved the magic jade slip. Shen Xuan took it and scanned it with his divine sense; it was indeed the inheritance of the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

The price is fixed at 18,000 contribution points.

Compared to the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique], it's relatively cheap.

After allocating sect contribution points.

Deng Xiangdong asked, "Junior Brother Shen, are you going to cultivate the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman]?"

"That's true."

Shen Xuan did not hide this from anyone.

This matter will eventually spread throughout the sect.

"I heard that Junior Brother Shen obtained the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] inheritance at the Su family of Feiyun Mountain?"

"good."

"Rumor has it that Junior Brother Shen had a falling out with the Su family of Feiyun Mountain. On his return to the sect, he broke the Su family patriarch's leg?"

Deng Xiangdong said with a half-smile.

"Senior Brother Deng, there are other reasons behind this, which are difficult to explain in a few words."

Shen Xuan briefly explained that the Su family had raised the share of the Thunder Talisman in an attempt to imprison him and constantly exploit him.

"Thirty percent? This Su family of Feiyun Mountain is utterly ignorant!"

"Lei Fu wants a 30% cut and even wants to imprison Junior Brother Shen. Who gave them the audacity to do that!"

Thunder talismans are more difficult to make than ordinary talismans.

A 30% cut is too harsh.

As expected, Deng Xiangdong was filled with righteous indignation upon hearing about Shen Xuan's plight.

Deng Xiangdong asked, "Junior Brother Shen, do you know that the Thunderwood and ThunderBamboo in the sect are all planted on Thunder Peak?"

"Junior Brother Shen is cultivating the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman], and the materials related to this cinnabar talisman paper..."

Deng Xiangdong did not continue.

The meaning is obvious.

You have offended the people of Tianlei Peak too badly.

Nowadays, obtaining the thunderwood and thunder bamboo of Thunder Peak is not so easy if one wants to cultivate the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Deng. I will find a way."

"That's good."

The two chatted for a while.

Shen Xuan prepared to take his leave.

At this moment, Lu Zhengming hurriedly entered.

"Elder Deng, someone is causing trouble!"

Deng Xiangdong rushed over to check.

Shen Xuan originally intended to leave.

However, they discovered that among the crowd, the people involved were none other than Wu Yuting and Senior Brother Xuanming.

Shen Xuan calmly followed behind Deng Xiangdong.

It turns out that Senior Brother Xuanming's original name was Chen Xuanming, and he was a second-level weapon refiner from the Yuyang Peak lineage of the Weapon Refining Hall.

Wu Yuting assisted Gu Jinqin, and while pushing the large furnace to refine pills, she went to the weapon refining hall several times.

Over time, Wu Yuting and Chen Xuanming became acquainted.

Chen Xuanming, a man who was engrossed in refining weapons, had never encountered someone like Wu Yuting before!

She was beautiful, had a sweet voice, and looked at him with adoration, which made him very happy.

With a little manipulation, Wu Yuting got Chen Xuanming to willingly buy her martial arts techniques.

However, the cultivation technique that Wu Yuting purchased was quite expensive.

She picked three books, which would cost her 30,000 contribution points.

Chen Xuanming, with a heavy heart, had just finished paying the bill and allocating the contribution points.

At this moment, his senior brother Jiang Wanli rushed over.

He had just received the news that his junior brother had been tricked by the junior sister of Xiaogufeng, so he rushed over.

But it was too late.

Jiang Wanli was furious.

"She bought the cultivation technique, why should you pay for it!"

They made a strong statement demanding that Wu Yuting return the cultivation method.

Or they could allocate contribution points themselves and return them to Chen Xuanming.

"You asked me to borrow contribution points just for her?"

Wu Yuting would never listen to Jiang Wanli.

She would never spit out the meat that was already in her mouth!

"Senior Brother Jiang, this is a matter between Senior Brother Xuanming and Junior Sister, what business is it of yours!"

"Senior Brother Xuanming is willing to give it to Junior Sister, so why should Senior Brother Jiang be envious!"

Jiang Wanli was so angry that he trembled all over.

He started cursing at Chen Xuanming.

Chen Xuanming then realized what was happening.

"Junior Sister Wu, why don't you withdraw from the cultivation technique first?"

Wu Yuting rolled her eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Senior Brother Xuanming! We've already given it to Junior Sister, how can we ask for it back?"

Jiang Wanli asked angrily, "Junior Sister Wu, can't you pay for the cultivation technique yourself?"

"Why should I! He gave it to me willingly!"

Wu Yuting spoke with conviction.

"I didn't force him! He wouldn't even buy me a few cultivation manuals, yet he called me a confidant and friend!"

"Are all the senior brothers of Jade Sun Peak so untrustworthy?"

Chen Xuanming was completely dumbfounded.

The Wu Yuting before me was completely different from the one before.

Just now, she was all sweet and affectionate, her eyes full of adoration for him.

Now, his face is full of disgust.

A profound sense of frustration made him feel guilty and uneasy.

He always thought that Wu Yuting was affectionate towards him.

It's because he's capable; he's a promising and exceptionally skilled second-tier weapon refiner in the weapon refining hall.

Wu Yuting secretly fell in love with him and admired him deeply.

It turns out he misunderstood.

Lost in Wu Yuting's innocent and radiant smile.

Looking at the fellow disciples watching, Chen Xuanming wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Thinking about the 30,000 contribution points that were just transferred out, my heart aches.

That was something he painstakingly saved up by refining magical treasures day and night, drop by drop, with every drop of sweat.

Of the 30,000 contribution points, 10,000 were borrowed from Jiang Wanli.

I don't know what possessed me back then, but I agreed to buy her the cultivation technique.

Think about it now.

Wu Yuting may not be able to use these three cultivation techniques.

It's very likely that it will be resold to someone else.

Think about this.

Gathering his courage, Chen Xuanming looked at that stunningly beautiful face and said, "Junior Sister Wu, could you perhaps withdraw from this cultivation technique?"

Wu Yuting's eyebrows shot up, and she was completely furious.

"Chen Xuanming, what do you mean!"

"Have you changed your mind?"

Chen Xuanming glanced at his senior brother Jiang Wanli, who was offering encouragement.

With a heavy heart and a solemn expression, he said, "Yes, I've changed my mind. Junior Sister Wu, you should withdraw from this cultivation technique!"
