"Sun Zhengyang just died like that?"

Zhou Family's secret room.

In front of an ancient jade table, the Zhou Family Ancestor and the Patriarch each sat on one side.

On the table lay an Intelligence Jade Scroll.

The events that happened yesterday at the Celestial City Mansion were carved into an Intelligence Jade Scroll and delivered to the Zhou Family Ancestor early this morning.

The copy Chen Xiangdong saw was sent by the Zhou Family.

"A Sect Master's disciple, not simple indeed!"

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family sighed deeply.

"I thought he was just a Water Cultivator, yet he also practiced the Thunder Technique and instantly killed Sun Zhengyang of Mingfeng Mountain!"

"Foolish!"

The Zhou Family Ancestor lightly scolded.

"If he didn't understand the Thunder Technique, how could he have inherited the Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman from the Su Family?"

"And why would he agree to make a move for the Thunder Beast Essence Blood?"

The Patriarch of the Zhou Family asked, "So, was this a setup by the Sect Master all along?"

"One cannot easily speculate the intentions of the True Master!"

The Zhou Family Ancestor pondered and said, "This person has been hiding his strength, perhaps it's a well-prepared scheme!"

"The storm is approaching! Warn the clan members to stay vigilant, value peace, and avoid conflicts!"

"Yes, Ancestor! But, about Bailian..."

"Still unwilling? The Qian Family of Celestial City is already quite good. Qian Zhiwen has successfully established his Foundation and is devoted to her. Why can't she see it?"

The Zhou Patriarch's face was full of bitterness.

The Ancestor stood from the family's point of view.

From Zhou Bailian's personal standpoint, Qian Zhiwen was still too weak.

Far from having the strength to make her willingly submit and offer herself.

"Things change. The alliance between the Zhou and Qian families is imperative. Find another candidate with good aptitude from the clan as a backup!"

"As for Bailian..."

"Let it be, leave her be for now!"

"Eventually, she will understand."

...

Bailian indeed understood.

Shen Xuan is her treasure!

As long as she works hard, she can always unearth treasures!

The problem is, no matter how hard she worked, Shen Xuan maintained a relaxed, mocking expression.

"Bailian, is this all you've got?"

"Can you do it or not?"

"If not, let me do it!"

Fairy Bailian raised her delicate chin.

She bit her teeth in hatred inside.

But her face bloomed with a beautiful smile, enchanting and alluring.

"I can do it!"

"Shen Lang, don't rush!"

She refused to believe that Shen Xuan, a man over ninety, could still wage a prolonged battle with her.

As a result, she was exhausted.

Shen Xuan's smile remained unchanged.

"Alright. I gave you a chance, and you couldn't do it!"

Shen Xuan made a playful remark, flipping over to seize the opportunity and pursue!

...

Afterward.

Fairy Bailian curiously observed Shen Xuan.

Her slender hands kept wandering.

Shen Xuan grabbed her hand in one swift move.

"Want more?"

"No more!"

Fairy Bailian withdrew her hand.

"I'm exhausted!"

She was well aware that Shen Xuan's physical prowess was getting stronger.

The time of her defeat was getting shorter.

The quicker time passed, the less satisfied Shen Xuan felt.

Instead of this.

Better to rest and gather strength for the next battle.

"Shen Lang. Uncle is very pleased. Fulfilling his wish, he's finally relieved."

"Hmm."

Fairy Bailian playfully licked her lips with her delicate tongue.

"You've completed the transaction. Where's my share?"

According to the unwritten rules, both parties must pay her a brokerage fee.

Chen Xiangdong being her uncle, had plenty of opportunities in the future.

Shen Xuan here, couldn't get away with playing dumb.

"One piece of Demon Beast Essence Blood is at most five or six thousand Spirit Stones. By the rules, I owe you a tenth, which is..."

Before he could finish, Fairy Bailian fiercely bit down on his earlobe.

She had learned her lesson.

She found the spot where Shen Xuan couldn't stay strong.

"Hey! Let go!"

Shen Xuan pinched Fairy Bailian's pretty face in pain.

"No let go!"

"You stingy miser! I worked to the bone, and you want to dismiss me with five hundred Spirit Stones, dream on!"

Fairy Bailian communicated through a voice transmission.

Shen Xuan activated the Power of Thunder.

Fairy Bailian's cherry-like lips were numbed, and she was shocked, her face filled with astonishment.

"Shen Xuan, you zapped me!"

"Five Thunder Talismans!"

"If you don't want them, forget it!"

"I want them!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's promise, Fairy Bailian immediately changed her demeanor.

Five Thunder Talismans could sell for a thousand and five hundred Spirit Stones.

It wasn't in vain for her hard work and efforts.

As for her and Shen Xuan's intimate moments.

Fairy Bailian still held some pride.

She believed it was mutual affection.

Not something that could be measured in Spirit Stones.

Otherwise, how would she differ from the courtesans of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion?

In fact.

In Cyan Yang Prefecture, it was hard for her to find a Foundation Establishment Cultivator better than Shen Xuan.

As a top Cultivation Clan in Cyan Yang Prefecture, though Fairy Bailian was excellent, comparing her to the Foundation Establishment Immortals of the Cyan Cloud Sect wasn't quite fair.

The two lingered for a while.

Fairy Bailian left joyfully with her five Thunder Talismans.

Merely by talking and connecting, she earned the Thunder Talismans worth fifteen hundred Spirit Stones.

An excellent way to make money!

Not worse than the courtesans of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion!

...

Shen Xuan stayed at the Rain Listening Pavilion, diligently cultivating.

After achieving a small success in the Thunder God's Fury, he became more adept in using Spiritual Power, and the Talisman Success Rate of the Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman increased at a visible pace.

It would only take half a year to reach the Great Success Level!

By then, the Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman would have approximately a forty percent Talisman Success Rate, with around a ten percent high-quality rate.

Additionally, although the Water Spirit Absorption could be passively enhanced, actively cultivating it advanced even quicker.

Aside from cultivation, engaging in a spontaneous dual cultivation with Su Xue'Er adjusted the rhythm of life, beneficial for both mind and body.

Every few days, Fairy Bailian would actively visit, humbly seeking advice and sparring.

Affection grows over time.

Fairy Bailian's attitude towards Shen Xuan improved consistently.

Once, she even jokingly said, asking Shen Xuan to marry her and take her to the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Scared, Shen Xuan quickly showed a wild and brute side.

Practicing vigorously.

Letting Fairy Bailian know, he is not her ideal companion!

...

That day, just as Su Xue'Er was about to go buy groceries, she saw a young Su Family girl, accompanied by a grey-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator, approaching.

"Senior Zhu, this is the Rain Listening Pavilion, Master Shen's Dao field."

The young Su Family introduced.

"This is Sister Su Xue'Er."

The young Su Family girl looked at Su Xue'Er with eyes full of envy.

Earlier, Su Xue'Er was just like her.

Merely someone doing odd jobs at the Clan Affairs Hall.

Seizing the opportunity.

Transformed into.

The concubine of a Sect's Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Even the Clan Elders must treat her courteously.

Her siblings also rose to prominence because of her.

Su Xue'Er gave a once-over.

The grey-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator had sharp eyes, exuding an aura of authority.

"Sister Xue'Er, this is Senior Zhu from Yunyuan Immortal City, an old friend of Master Shen."

"Alright, husband is just in, Senior Zhu, please follow me in."

Su Xue'Er guessed the visitor's identity.

Shen Xuan had briefed her.

If friends from Yunyuan Immortal City visited, she should promptly lead them into the Rain Listening Pavilion.

Seeing Zhu Jintang's visit, Shen Xuan was somewhat surprised.

He personally made tea for him.

"Taoist Tang entrusted me to deliver a Tier Two Water Demon Essence Blood to Master Shen."

In Yunyuan Immortal City, Zhu Jintang and Tang Renhao were on very good terms.

Shen Xuan accepted the Storage Pouch.

"What kind of Water Demon?"

"Large-headed Wolf Fish."

Shen Xuan was familiar with this type of Water Demon.

Large-bodied, large-headed.

Fiercely aggressive, possessing eight sharp and incredibly strong canine teeth, with terrifying bite force.

Whether it's a demon crab, demon shrimp, or sea urchin, shellfish.

Nothing it couldn't bite through.

A Tier Two Water Demon, its strength comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Not so easily hunted.

It was calculated.

The Foundation Establishment Demon Hunters in Yunyuan Immortal City, on average, could capture one Tier Two Water Demon in around twenty years.

In their lifetime, those who could hunt five Tier Two Water Demons were considered formidable.

Cultivation techniques such as Pill, Artifact, Array, and Talisman demand a vast amount of high-tier Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Thus, high-tier Demon Beast Essence Blood has always been in short supply.
