Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 65 Sect Water Techniques (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Shen Xuan sighed.

"There's no news yet. But they should be fine; they're just ordinary mortals. The Crimson Rainbow Sect is, after all, a cultivation sect, and they have some dignity to maintain."

Ding Yuyao said angrily, "If they had any sense of shame, why would they rob Qinglong Bay?"

"Therefore, apart from Ding Yisi, all the other cultivators from the Ding family must die."

Shen Xuan said quietly.

To be honest, the Ding family treated him quite well.

He wasn't overexploited.

Ding Yuyao asked, "Where are the Ding family cultivators?"

"The Ding clan patriarch and the Ding family head have both perished. Ding Yijin's whereabouts are unknown. Ding Yixuan, along with the immortal seedlings of the clan, should have escaped!"

Shen Xuan sighed and said, "My wife, your husband's strength is insufficient. One day in the future, after I have established my foundation, I will go to Hongcheng County, Songjiang Prefecture, to visit your family."

Hearing her husband say this, Ding Yuyao raised her eyes, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Thank you, my husband."

She knew her husband valued integrity above all else.

Since that's the case, I will definitely visit her family.

At this time.

Ding Yuyao looked around.

Only the couple remained in the courtyard of the mansion.

Her voice suddenly became alluring: "My husband, I wish to serve you properly one more time."

Shen Xuan smiled.

"Come on. Let me see Yao Yao's skills, and whether she's improved!"

Ding Yuyao giggled and bent down...

A spring night, as beautiful as a dream.

Time flows by gently like water.

Three months later, after receiving the essence of the sea swordfish more than ten times.

Shen Xuan used a mysterious jade talisman to plunder his bloodline talent, and finally mastered the basics.

[Talent: Water Release: Beginner Level (1/100)]

[Water Escape Talisman: Beginner (22/100)]

【Daoyun: 1266】

[Spiritual Root: Water 31/100]

It's not easy!

This water escape technique was more complicated than he had imagined.

This is why the Five Elements Escape Technique is so precious.

The good news is that the water elemental root aptitude has improved by three points!
During this time, he kept looking through talisman books and studying the making of the [Water Escape Talisman].

A regular Water Escape Talisman costs as much as five spirit stones, while a superior one costs double that.

After mastering the basics, Shen Xuan took the newly purchased superior-grade talisman brush and tried making a [Water Escape Talisman].

The success rate of the symbol is impressive.

Of the twelve talismans, only one ordinary [Water Escape Talisman] was successfully created.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

We lost ten spirit stones!
Given his talisman skills and aptitude, it would take him many years to achieve a 30% success rate!

Shen Xuan had no intention of following the established procedures.

On the mysterious jade talisman, the ancient, golden characters kept changing.

[Water Escape Talisman: Proficient (2/200)]

【Daoyun: 1108】

As expected of a top-grade talisman, it takes about two points of Daoist essence to increase one point of experience in the beginner stage.

The next day, Shen Xuan tried again.

Of the twelve talismans, three were successful, resulting in a success rate of 25%.

"Forget it, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"

Shen Xuan did not want to spend his time cultivating the [Water Escape Talisman].

Take a day off, then continue to improve.

[Water Escape Talisman: Mastery (1/400)]

【Daoyun: 298】

This time, a lot of knowledge and skills related to water escape talismans came to mind.

Then, the success rate of making the Water Escape Talisman was increased to over 30%.

Of the twelve talismans, about four will be successful, earning five spirit stones.

If he continued making them, he would overdraw his spiritual energy, which would affect his daily cultivation.

"That's about it. We're profitable now. All that's left is to work hard!"

Shen Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief. The Water Escape Talisman would become his primary talisman for survival.

In places like Yunyuan Immortal City, which is close to the East Sea, the [Water Escape Talisman] is in high demand.

Practicing martial arts, water escape, and making talismans.

Shen Xuan returned to his monotonous days of cultivation.

Fortunately, he had his beautiful wife, Ding Yuyao, by his side.

When feeling down, you can do some couples' exercises that are good for your physical and mental health.

Ding Yuyao never refused any of Shen Xuan's requests.

Even if she is not feeling well, she will still try to satisfy Shen Xuan and make him happy.

As for the Water Release Technique, it's easy to increase your proficiency.

The lake in the yard is too small; if you run too fast and too far, you might bump your head.

Shen Xuan was in no hurry to sell the Water Escape Talisman.

The time frame is too short, which could easily arouse suspicion.

Three months passed quickly.

Shen Xuan arrived at Zhao Chunsheng's shop with the three hundred Water Escape Talismans he had accumulated.

"So many Water Escape Talismans? Master Shen, have you advanced to a high-grade talisman master?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhao Chunsheng was still surprised to see so many Water Escape Talismans.

"It's still a little short, but it'll be soon," Shen Xuan said modestly.

"Take it for testing. If it passes inspection, the cost of the talisman paper, cinnabar, and other materials will be used to offset the price. The rest can be kept here for consignment."

"The usual commission rate is 15%."

Zhao Chunsheng declined, saying, "Master Shen, we don't need the commission. You also have a share in this shop!"

"Even between brothers, accounts must be kept clear! Also, here are a dozen or so high-quality [Water Escape Talismans], sold only to regular customers!"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and then added, "Don't reveal my identity to anyone."

"Don't worry, Master Shen, I always handle things reliably!"

In the days that followed, Shen Xuan continued to improve his Water Escape talent and created Water Escape Talismans to store spirit stones.

Occasionally, he would also visit the Biyue Sect's directly operated stores to buy various cultivation books and broaden his knowledge.

At this moment, he realized that the Azure Water Sword that Ding Yixuan had given him was a standard flying sword for inner disciples of the Azure Water Sect.

Somehow, it ended up in the hands of the Ding family.

They went to great lengths to nurture it with water spirit stones, raising its grade from superior to top grade.

No wonder it was so well-matched with his [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique], it turns out they both originated from the Azure Water Sect.

"How about we purchase another water-based spell?"

That day, Shen Xuan visited the Biyue Sect's directly operated store to observe various water techniques.

The Azure Water Sect sells a portion of the Qi Refining stage techniques.

The "Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique" is among them, priced at fifty spirit stones.

It ranks first among the magic techniques of the Biyue Sect.

"Are there any defensive water-based spells?"

"Of course we have them. What level are you looking for, fellow Daoist?"

"That's what the shop assistant who was serving Shen Xuan asked."

"How many spirit stones does the highest-grade defensive spell cost?"

"One hundred spirit stones per book, limited to one person for cultivation only, and cannot be passed on to others!"

"Let me see it!"

The defensive spells used during the Qi Refining stage cost as much as a mid-grade magic weapon, which is outrageously expensive.

Only a tycoon like Shen Xuan, who has plenty of money, could afford to buy it.

After reading the description of the technique on the jade slip, I found it was called the "Water Spirit Gathering Technique".

He condensed the water elemental energy within his body into a magical fish, which then transformed into a protective aura.

To Shen Xuan's surprise, as long as his spiritual energy was abundant, he could condense multiple magical fish, layering them to create a protective aura.

"Excuse me, can a magical fish formed from the spiritual energy within one's body be used for attack?"

"Of course. If you want more offensive power, you can take a look at this book, [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique]."

Shen Xuan was speechless for a moment.

"I have already purchased the [Condensing Water and Transforming Sharpness Technique]."

"Oh. Have you succeeded in your training, fellow Daoist?"

Suddenly, a hint of anticipation appeared in the shop's maid's eyes.

"I've achieved some success," Shen Xuan said modestly.

However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than a shop maid cried out, "Senior Uncle Ruan, come quick! A rogue cultivator has mastered our [Condensed Water Transformation Technique]!"

She stared at Shen Xuan repeatedly as if he were a monster, as if afraid he would run away.
