After Shen Xuan returned to the Rain Listening Pavilion, the first thing he did was to place the Shadow Octopus and the other two Corpse Beasts back into the Corpse Beast Pool to recuperate.
This trip was very rewarding for him.
The Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast was particularly meritorious.
It significantly boosted Shen Xuanâs combat power.
Allowing him to easily hunt those Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons in the sea.
Upon the White Lotus Immortalâs return, she purchased large amounts of herbs to prepare Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid.
This was her unique source of income.
Shen Xuan could save his energy and directly buy it from her.
Then, he checked on the growth of the Jade Spirit Clam.
Before leaving, he entrusted the daily feeding and care to Su XueâEr.
Now it seems, Su XueâEr has been very diligent.
The Jade Spirit Clam is becoming more lustrous, and its shell shines brightly.
After three months, the Jade Spirit Clam clearly became plumper.
Shen Xuan unceremoniously extracted ten pounds of essence blood.
After refining the Jade Spirit Clam Essence Blood, he enhanced the "Water Spirit Absorption" skill, habitually allocating the gained Dao Rhyme Points to "Thunder Godâs Fury".
Then, Shen Xuan began browsing the Treasure Talisman Inheritance of the Ancient Sect.
After reading, he was lost in thought.
What is called a Treasure Talisman is essentially a talisman made and nurtured in the form of a Magical Treasure.
Logically, the power of a Treasure Talisman is inferior to a Magical Treasure.
However, this Ancient Sect took another path and developed a method to nurture it with Dao Foundation Origin Spiritual Power.
As a result, the Treasure Talisman can continuously absorb Dao Foundation Origin Spiritual Power and store it.
When activated, it releases a concentrated burst of power, exceeding that of ordinary Magical Treasures.
Thatâs why itâs said to be able to threaten a True Master.
However, making a Treasure Talisman is extremely difficult.
First, it requires the Talisman Masterâs Divine Soul Power to be strong.
The choice of Treasure Talisman type must require the Talisman Master to be highly skilled.
This is because the runes on the Treasure Talisman are not written with a Talisman Brush, but etched by the Talisman Master using Divine Soul Power.
Its difficulty is more than ten times that of writing with a Talisman Brush!
Many Talisman Masters simply cannot achieve this.
Secondly, the quality of the Treasure Talisman material should be extremely high.
The Treasure Talisman carries Dao Foundation Origin Spiritual Power; if the material is inadequate, it can easily collapse.
Not only would the effort be in vain, but it could also backfire, damaging the Dao Foundation.
Finally, itâs about persistent dedication over time.
Daily Divine Soul Branding enhances the runes and requires constant perseverance.
The longer it takes, the greater the power of the Treasure Talisman!
"With such stringent conditions, itâs no wonder not many people are willing to practice it."
Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and made a decision.
He has the "Longevity" skill, so he has a long lifespan.
Plus, with the "Water Spirit Absorption" skill, he can speed up his practice and efficiency.
Nurturing a Treasure Talisman is not a significant cost for him and is acceptable.
The immense power of the Treasure Talisman can deliver a fatal blow at critical moments.
While the claim of threatening a Core Formation True Master is a bit exaggerated,
itâs certainly effective against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Moreover, the Treasure Talisman he plans to nurture is precisely his specialty, the "Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman".
Currently, Shen Xuan has seven portions of Tier Two Water Demon Essence Blood.
The one he values most is the Thunder Beast Essence Blood.
Repeatedly looting the same type of demon beast will reduce the experience and Dao Rhyme gained.
However, itâs much faster than immersing oneself in secluded cultivation.
Three months later.
In the Practice Room.
Shen Xuan finished refining the last of the Thunder Beast Essence Blood.
His control over thunder attribute spiritual power reached a masterful level.
The Mysterious Jade Talisman flashed with golden words.
"Talent: Thunder Godâs Fury - Great Success (18/1600)"
Shen Xuan exhaled deeply.
He couldnât suppress his inner joy.
The Great Success level of "Thunder Godâs Fury" marked a qualitative enhancement to his power.
One strike of "Thunder Godâs Fury" has the power of ten premium "Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talismans"!
Equivalent to five full-force strikes from an Early Stage Thunder Technique Cultivator!
Even Wu Yulan and Nangong Guang, these Saintess and Saint Child of the Blood Spirit Sect.
Without top-tier Demon Treasures, they would be blown to pieces by "Thunder Godâs Fury".
"Donât get arrogant!"
"Lei Yaoyang is a Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator and also has the Golden Core True Inheritance!"
Shen Xuan estimated that the power of "Thunder Godâs Fury" and Lei Yaoyangâs Thunder Technique wouldnât differ much.
Thunder Cultivators have high ordinary thunder resistance.
"Thunder Godâs Fury" is challenging to kill them.
"However, Iâve been prepared!"
Shen Xuan left the Practice Room.
The White Lotus Immortal waited for him outside with a joyful expression.
"Shen Lang, the old man agreed!"
Previously, Shen Xuan took out the corpse of a Giant-toothed Demon Shark and asked the White Lotus Immortal to sell it to the Zhou Family Patriarch.
This was a Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demon.
Normally, it would be used for extracting the Demon Core, stripping shark teeth, cutting fins, and dissecting the shark for meat.
But now, the Zhou Family obtained the "Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique" inheritance, requiring a complete demon beast corpse to refine a Corpse Beast.
The Giant-toothed Demon Shark provided by Shen Xuan fit exactly what the Zhou Family needed.
However, Shen Xuanâs asking price wasnât low.
At least no less than 120,000 Spirit Stones.
He asked the White Lotus Immortal to negotiate the deal.
Below the base price, he wouldnât sell.
If itâs above the base price, heâd give thirty percent to the White Lotus Immortal.
This motivated the White Lotus Immortal greatly.
Constantly persuading the Zhou Family Patriarch.
She even brought out her Strong Water Ape as a testimonial.
It took two months of negotiations to reach an agreement.
"Whatâs the price?"
"150,000 Spirit Stones!"
"Impressive!"
Shen Xuan complimented.
"Of course! The old man was very crafty! He wanted the White Lotus to supply the initial Corpse Beast Fluid for free!"
The White Lotus Immortal started shaking Shen Xuanâs arm again.
"Shen Lang, you have to reimburse the Spirit Stones for the Corpse Beast Fluid to White Lotus!"
"Stop shaking!"
Shen Xuan couldnât stand the White Lotus Immortalâs way of acting coy.
"You donât shake when you should, but shake senselessly when you shouldnât! Iâm convinced!"
The White Lotus Immortalâs pretty face blushed.
"Whatever the cost of the Corpse Beast Fluid, put it on my tab."
The White Lotus Immortal beamed with joy.
"I knew Shen Lang wouldnât let White Lotus suffer losses!"
"Iâll ensure Shen Langâs satisfaction tonight!"
"Guaranteed satisfaction!"
Shen Xuan laughed.
"If Iâm not satisfied, Iâll deduct from your earnings!"
"No! Thatâs White Lotusâs hard-earned blood and sweat!"
The two bantered for a while.
They headed to the dining hall to eat.
Su XueâEr had already prepared the meal, and the aroma was enticing.
Over the years, Su XueâErâs culinary skills had greatly improved.
Even the White Lotus Immortal had to give some praise.
After eating, Su XueâEr hummed a song as she cleaned up the dishes.
She seemed in a good mood.
This surprised Shen Xuan.
It had been three months since they returned to the Rain Listening Pavilion.
Su XueâEr had been in a good mood.
She didnât seem to resist the White Lotus Immortal as she used to.
Shen Xuan didnât believe Su XueâEr was so broad-minded.
Women, well, they all get it.
That night.
The White Lotus Immortal used all her skills, completely exhausted.
This time, Shen Xuan didnât hold back.
He pretended to be dissatisfied and unfulfilled.
In the end, Shen Xuan pretended not to be moved, letting the White Lotus Immortal off in despair.
He got up and slipped into Su XueâErâs room.
"Husband? Why are you here?"
Ever since the White Lotus Immortal moved into the Rain Listening Pavilion openly and legitimately.
It had been a long time since Shen Xuan and Su XueâEr exercised together.
"Iâm here to check on your skills, XueâEr, to see how much youâve progressed!"
Su XueâEr obediently lowered her head.
A night of fish and dragon dance.
Flowers blooming, and stars like rain.
Afterward.
Su XueâEr tightly hugged Shen Xuan.
Fearing he would leave just like that.
After waking up.
Su XueâEr and Shen Xuan chatted idly.
It was then that he realized why Su XueâEr was in such a good mood.
It turned out that Pill Master Lin and Artifact Master Dai both took young girls from the Su Family as concubines.
However, compared to Su XueâEr, their treatment was vastly different, like heaven and earth.
