The gazes of the dozen clan elders were all focused on the two pieces of "Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman" in the hands of the Su Patriarch.

It glowed golden, with a faint sound of thunder.

The violent Thunder Spiritual Power slowly flowed across the surface of the talisman.

"Have a look yourselves!"

The Su Patriarch passed the two "Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talismans" to the clan elders.

"Are these really the 'Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talismans' of our ancestor?"

"That Shen Xuan is truly remarkable!"

"Tier Two Thunder Talismans, ah! If someone in our Su Family could produce Tier Two Thunder Talismans, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

Everyone turned their gaze towards the seated Su Patriarch.

At this moment, the Su Patriarch felt relaxed instead.

As long as Shen Xuan could produce the "Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman," the consumption of the Thunder Crystal Bamboo was worth it.

"Su Xue'Er, did Shen Talisman Master ever mention his talisman success rate for Thunder Talismans?"

Someone asked eagerly.

Su Xue'Er shook her head: "I never inquire into my husband's cultivation matters."

Actually, Su Xue'Er was merely a concubine of Shen Xuan.

Calling Shen Xuan "husband" was quite forced.

The two never held a ceremony to formalize their union.

Su Xue'Er had voluntarily climbed into Shen Xuan's bed.

However, Shen Xuan resided in the Su Clan's Rain Listening Pavilion.

He had no dual cultivation partner beside him.

When Su Xue'Er attempted calling him "husband," Shen Xuan did not deny it.

Only then did she dare to assume the role of mistress and manage the Rain Listening Pavilion.

The Su Patriarch laughed and said, "Continue ensuring the supply of Thunder Crystal Bamboo, and keep Shen Talisman Master's production of Thunder Talismans a secret externally. That's all, everyone can leave now!"

"Su Xue'Er, you stay for a moment."

The clan elders dispersed.

The exchanged glances among them were tinged with joy.

The council chamber was emptied.

The Su Patriarch gazed at Su Xue'Er ahead, feeling complex emotions.

He was aware of certain circumstances about Shen Xuan.

Master Gu Feng's direct disciple, Qin Yuehan's old friend, who established his Dao Foundation at eighty-five years old with Qin Yuehan's aid.

Previously, he only had a mortal wife, but they split after reaching Foundation Establishment.

Originally, he hoped his granddaughter Su Jiayuan would marry Shen Xuan, becoming dual cultivation partners.

Thus integrating Shen Xuan into the Su Family.

Su Jiayuan had a middle-grade spirit root, was nineteen, and at the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Raised with care, with high standards.

Su Jiayuan disliked Shen Xuan for being too old and refused to follow his arrangement.

While the Su Patriarch was still plotting and considering new candidates.

Unexpectedly, this young girl from a side branch before him had such cunning and resolve.

She had burnt her bridges.

Climbed into Shen Xuan's bed that very day.

Transforming herself into Shen Xuan's concubine.

"Is Shen Talisman Master good to you?"

"Husband is very good to me."

"Can you provide him with descendants?"

Su Xue'Er blushed.

She shook her forehead slightly.

The two had been together for almost two years.

If Shen Xuan desired, she would have long gotten pregnant.

"Alas!"

The Su Patriarch sighed deeply.

He hoped Shen Xuan would integrate into the Su Family.

Ideally, marrying a Su Clan female cultivator openly and having children.

Rather than merely residing in the Feiyun Su Family for thirty years before leaving.

Shen Xuan represented the face of Master Gu Feng of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

As long as he was at Feiyun Mountain, the other three great cultivation families in Cyan Yang Prefecture couldn't exert too much pressure.

However, such matters can't be forced.

Thinking of this, the Su Patriarch said gently, "Return now. Serve Shen Talisman Master well. Tell him that I'll visit in a few days."

At this moment, the Su Patriarch slightly regretted.

Had he known Shen Xuan's talent in talisman art was so outstanding, he should have been tougher, pushing his granddaughter Su Jiayuan to approach Shen Xuan actively.

Whether lineage, appearance, temperament, or aptitude, Su Jiayuan far exceeded the present Su Xue'Er.

A moment's hesitation led to missing a great opportunity, leaving him filled with regret.

This was a talented talisman master capable of producing Tier Two Thunder Talismans!

...

The Su Patriarch issued a gag order within the clan.

Despite this, the news that the Su Family's talisman masters could produce Tier Two Thunder Talismans spread out.

The Su Patriarch was helpless about this.

He could even guess the person who leaked the information.

Bai Lian Immortal from the Beast Taming Zhou Family.

The ancestor reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, with over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family.

There are also more than ten Tier Two spiritual birds and beasts.

In terms of strength, the Beast Taming Zhou Family is the leading cultivation clan in Cyan Yang Prefecture.

"Could it be that Immortal Bai Lian has taken a liking to Shen Xuan?"

The Patriarch of the Su Family grew vigilant.

He couldn't wait any longer.

He personally visited Shen Xuan.

"Master Shen Talisman, what do you think of this cooperation spirit contract?"

The Su Family Patriarch took out a spirit contract and placed it on the table.

Shen Xuan scanned it with his Divine Sense, showing slight surprise.

The terms offered by the Su Family were quite favorable.

The Su Family would provide Thunder Crystal Bamboo, to be made into the corresponding talisman paper and cinnabar.

Shen Xuan only needed to focus on making the Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman.

The Su Family would only take 25% of the Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talismans, and the rest belonged to Shen Xuan.

Moreover, there was no time limit.

"Master Shen Talisman, these terms show our Su Family's sincerity!"

The Su Family Patriarch smiled and said, "Master Shen Talisman, do us a favor and don't bargain further. I also have to report back to the Su Family."

Generally, the cost of making talismans is about 30%.

So, a 30% talisman success rate is the break-even point for a Talisman Master.

The Su Family only taking 25% shows full sincerity.

However, the Su Family is not at a loss.

The value of Thunder Crystal Bamboo notably increases when converted into Tier Two thunder talismans.

For a cultivation clan to revive, the first thing needed is sufficient cultivation resources.

With resources, they can nurture clan members.

From Foundation Establishment Seed to Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it requires a lot of spirit stones and cultivation resources.

Just a Foundation Establishment Pill costs thirty thousand spirit stones, and it's not easy to acquire.

"Sounds good. A pleasant cooperation!"

Shen Xuan effortlessly signed using his Spiritual Power.

The Su Family Patriarch immediately beamed with joy.

"Master Shen Talisman is generous! If you need anything from me, feel free to ask!"

"Oh, there is indeed one matter."

Shen Xuan didn't hold back.

"If the Su Family gets Tier Two Water Attribute Demon Beast Essence Blood, please sell it to me first."

The two discussed for a while.

In principle, the Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman will not be sold publicly.

If sold in small quantities, the price is set at three hundred spirit stones per piece.

This price is indeed steep.

Equivalent to half of an upper-grade magical artifact.

However, cultivators in the late stage of Qi Cultivation can activate the Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman.

Equivalent to thirty percent of the full power strike of an early-stage Foundation Establishment thunder technique.

Surpassing many ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Indeed, it's a rare trump card.

Scarcity increases value.

No matter how expensive, there is always a market.

This transaction is large in scale and long in duration.

It is very beneficial to both parties.

Shen Xuan will stay in the Su Family for twenty-eight years.

Just right for keeping a low profile and concentrating on cultivation.

...

In the following three months, Shen Xuan shut himself off from visitors, focusing on cultivation, talisman making, and refining corpse beasts.

The Silver-winged Python, like the Golden Claw Divine Eagle, was trapped in a pit he dug and soaked with the Spirit Locking Array and Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid.

Fortunately, he is now quite affluent.

Running three Spirit Locking Arrays at the same time and preparing such a large amount of Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid costs three thousand spirit stones monthly.

Rain Listening Pavilion is a Tier Two low-grade dojo, and its Spiritual Qi environment matches his cultivation realm.

To speed up cultivation, Shen Xuan bought a Spirit Locking Array and activated it for six hours every day.

This is also his daily cultivation limit.

The remaining time goes into talisman making and refining corpse beasts.

Every three days, he routinely cultivates the Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique, splitting a thread of divine thought to attach to the corpse beast, familiarizing himself with the bodily functions of the corpse beast.

At this point, the mechanism maintaining the corpse beast was the Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid that absorbed spiritual energy.

Functioning similarly to demon beast blood.

Cultivators use divine thought to guide the Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid to flow within the corpse beast's body, thereby mastering the corpse beast.

At this time, the production of thunder talismans was gradually on track.

The Su Family was responsible for all the talisman paper and cinnabar.

Shen Xuan made ten a day, with a success rate of three talismans.

He could have five or six thunder talismans left every month, among which two or three would be premium quality.

In one month, he could earn more than two thousand spirit stones!

"Truly, skilled craftsmen are always in demand!"

Roughly calculated, just by making thunder talismans, Shen Xuan could earn thirty thousand spirit stones a year!

More than enough to cover daily expenses.

Over twenty-eight years of talisman making, he could save up to six or seven hundred thousand spirit stones, enough to bid on a good Tier Two spiritual land!
