The next day.

Shen Xuan, carrying a Spirit Fruit, found the Su Family's Pill Master.

The Su Family's Pill Master confirmed that it was a Creation Fruit nearly two hundred years old.

Due to improper storage, some Spiritual Qi was lost.

However, it could still be used as the main ingredient to refine some Creation Pills.

The effect would be slightly inferior to the Creation Pills from the Sect.

Shen Xuan made an agreement with the Su Family's Pill Master.

He would only provide this Creation Fruit.

The Su Family's Pill Master would provide the other supplementary materials.

After refining the Creation Pills, they would split them equally.

If there was an odd number, the two would bid for it, and the higher bidder would take it.

Collecting the supplementary materials would take some time.

Shen Xuan returned to the Rain Listening Pavilion and informed Su Xue'Er of this news.

"No need to rush. Once the Creation Pills are refined, no matter how many there are, you'll at least get one."

"Thank you, husband!"

By the artificial lake at the Rain Listening Pavilion, Shen Xuan dug a pit over three feet deep and ten feet in diameter.

He poured the remains of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle from the Beast Bag and fixed them in the pit.

The Corpse Beast Dao is extremely niche.

Creating Corpse Beasts is very time-consuming.

Moreover, it's costly.

The body of the Corpse Beast determines its combat power.

Corpse Beasts have no soul.

In battle, they rely on the Cultivator's hand gestures of the Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique for remote control, consuming part of the Divine Sense.

It's somewhat similar to the zombies of the Corpse Refining Sect.

However, Corpse Beast bodies are much more formidable than zombie bodies.

Their effectiveness is greater.

Like a lifeless spiritual pet.

Such as this Golden Claw Divine Eagle.

Its power is enough to slay an ordinary Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If suitable heavenly materials and earthly treasures can be found, the Corpse Beast's power could yet further improve.

It is a very good means of protection.

Shen Xuan first set up a Spirit Locking Array around the remains of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle.

He then set up a Mist Illusion Array around the perimeter.

This way, even if guests visit the Rain Listening Pavilion, they won't be aware of the existence of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle's remains.

Then, Shen Xuan extracted the Essence Blood of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle.

According to the Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique, after the Essence Blood is lost, the Demon Beast remains need to be nourished with Corpse Evil Qi to be refined into a Corpse Beast.

The Rain Listening Pavilion is harmonious; where could you find Corpse Evil Qi?

But, there is a workaround.

That's to prepare Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid, and with Spiritual Qi infusion, it can similarly fulfill the role of nourishing with Corpse Evil Qi.

This is somewhat costly.

Luckily, Shen Xuan doesn't lack Spirit Stones right now.

A new Spirit Locking Array is added to nourish the Corpse Beast.

He also purchases a large amount of medicinal materials to prepare Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid, soaking the remains of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle.

This Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid replaces the role of Demon Beast Essence Blood.

It is also the key to the Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique.

Shen Xuan estimates that with eighty percent of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle's power, it's enough to deal with most ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Moreover, it has a Gold Attribute.

It inherently restrains Wood Cultivators.

This compensates for Shen Xuan's weakness in dealing with Wood Cultivators.

Every three days, Shen Xuan has to regularly infuse Divine Thought into the remains of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle to practice the Corpse Beast Taming Skill.

Such a large-bodied Corpse Beast is not so easy to control.

"At this pace, it will take about three years for the remains of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle to transform into a Corpse Beast form."

Shen Xuan's Divine Sense is strong, and his Spiritual Power is abundant, comparable to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

He is suitable for practicing secret techniques that require Divine Sense command, such as the Corpse Beast Technique, Puppetry Technique, Mechanical Technique, etc.

In addition to Talisman Dao, adding a Corpse Beast Dao can significantly enhance his strength.

Especially in life-and-death battles.

Having a Corpse Beast that fears not death, with high poison and physical resistance, is like having an extra life.

Corpse Beasts can be used as cannon fodder for desperate fights.

The only drawback is that the cost is too high.

It's also quite labor-intensive to create.

"Hopefully, it's worth the cost!"

Shen Xuan did a rough calculation.

To nurture the corpse for a year, the Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid would consume over seven thousand Spirit Stones.

Plus the three thousand Spirit Stones for the Spirit Locking Array.

When the remains of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle transform into a Corpse Beast, it will consume thirty thousand Spirit Stones!

It's truly expensive!

"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones to get a Tier Two spiritual bird capable of breaking metal and smashing stones is quite reasonable!"

For the Golden Claw Divine Eagle Corpse Beast, Shen Xuan is still very much looking forward to it.

The Golden Claw Divine Eagle is a particularly powerful Demon Bird, with many same-level Demon Beasts on its prey list.

Not to mention the same-level Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Even if it exerts eighty percent of its pre-life power, it will be an excellent assistant.

...

A month later.

The Su Family's Pill Master was ready with the supplementary materials and started the furnace to refine Creation Pills.

Luck was good.

Three Creation Pills were yielded from one furnace.

During the bidding, Shen Xuan obtained an additional half a Creation Pill with three hundred Spirit Stones.

Back then, Shen Xuan had heard from Lv Zhengying.

The Sect's genuine Creation Pills were worth a thousand Spirit Stones.

The lower the realm and the worse the Spirit Root, the better the effect.

The first pill's effect is the best.

Subsequent ones develop drug resistance, diminishing effect greatly, or even rendering them ineffective.

The two Creation Pills in Shen Xuan's hand are defective products.

It's estimated that their effect will be discounted.

However, for lower grade Spirit Root in the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation, it's of some use.

When Su Xue'Er received the two porcelain bottles containing Creation Pills, her face was full of delight.

"Husband, these two Creation Pills, they're both for me?"

"Mm. These two Creation Pills are defective, and their effect isn't as good as the Sect's genuine ones. If you want to take them, you should think it over."

Shen Xuan told Su Xue'Er about the properties of the Creation Pills.

"Each person can only take one pill, more is useless. How much the Spirit Root Talent can improve depends on personal fortune!"

"I understand!"

That night, Su Xue'Er was particularly docile.

She transformed into various postures, using many techniques to satisfy Shen Xuan.

Looking at Su Xue'Er's delicate face in the midst of motion, Shen Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Woman!

Three days later.

With joy all over her face, Su Xue'Er returned to the Rain Listening Pavilion.

"Husband, the Creation Pill is really effective!"

"I just tested it, Keping's Water Spirit Root has increased to 21 points!"

"He's now a Middle Grade Spirit Root!"

Su Xue'Er's voice couldn't hide her happiness.

"Not bad."

A Middle Grade Spirit Root means one can cultivate to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

It also leaves a glimmer of hope for Foundation Establishment.

However, Su Keping's hope for Foundation Establishment is quite slim.

In his lifetime, being able to cultivate to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation and becoming an Upper Grade Talisman Master is his limit.

"And you?"

"Me?"

Su Xue'Er's face turned crimson.

"The other pill, I gave it to my sister."

"Husband, you won't blame me, will you?"

Su Xue'Er, like a child who had done something wrong, looked at Shen Xuan with hopeful eyes.

"I won't. Once I give it to you, it's yours to handle."

A mere Creation Pill, and a defective one at that, Shen Xuan didn't care about it.

"How's your sister?"

"It's okay, her Wood Spirit Root increased from 15 points to 18 points."

It seems that the defective Creation Pill's effect was still a bit lacking.

Su Xue'Er's Wood Spirit Root is 16 points.

To enhance it to 20 points of Middle Grade Spirit Root, the Sect's authentic Creation Pills are needed.

Shen Xuan wrote a letter to Qin Yuehan.

He introduced his situation at the Su Family in Feiyun.

He asked her to purchase a Creation Pill and send someone to deliver it.

...

On this day, Shen Xuan had just come out of the Practice Room, and he received a Communication Talisman.

"The Su Patriarch, why did he come?"

Shen Xuan activated the Rain Listening Pavilion's array and went to greet personally.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

The Su Patriarch got straight to the point and said, "Could Talisman Master Shen sell some Tier Two Poison Talismans to my Su Family?"

If one is a tributor to the family, there's an obligation to sell the Spirit Talismans they create at a discount to the family.

This is also the main reason Cultivation Clans hire tributors.

Like Yu Zhihua, who enjoys the Su Family's protection and receives a regular stipend, the Magical Artifacts he creates have to be sold at lower prices to the Su Clan's members.

However, Shen Xuan is not a tributor to the family and doesn't need to fulfill this obligation.

He said apologetically, "I ask for the Su Patriarch's understanding. The Silver Hook Snake Poison Talisman requires Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Blood as a raw material, which is incredibly rare. I only have a few Poison Talismans left for personal protection."

The Su Patriarch was greatly disappointed.

He had learned from the Su Clan Elders that Shen Xuan had sold Tier Two premium Poison Talismans at the Carefree Tower trading conference, and his interest was piqued.
