Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cold Ice Blade emitted a series of tremors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the sound of a sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Shen Xuan felt that the Cold Ice Blade in his hand had transformed into a living Divine Dragon, containing a power as immense as overturning seas and mountains, as if ready to break free at any moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan glanced at the Mystic Iron Dummy and slowly released his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stream of light, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, directly flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its speed reached the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During its flight, this Cold Ice Blade continuously devoured and absorbed the surrounding Spiritual

Defense Array reinforced on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that, a mark over three inches deep still appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Water Control Technique reinforcing it, the Condensed

the Condensed Water Blade Technique enhanced by the Water Control Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water Control Technique’s skill level increased by one point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Condensed Water Blade Technique directly jumped from entry level to mastery level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the performance just now, the Water Control talent augmented his technique, increasing the absorption of spiritual energy and enhancing the spell’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is merely the mastery level of the Water Control Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, talent is far more important than hard work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With talent, cultivating compatible techniques not only progresses faster but also greatly enhances power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really need talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan sat back down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using the Condensed Water Blade Technique twice, the spiritual power in his Dantian had been consumed by thirty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he could only use the Condensed Water Blade Technique enhanced by the Water Control Technique six or seven times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shen Xuan discovered that while operating the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, the spiritual power in his Dantian recovered at an extremely rapid rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Elements circulate endlessly, continuously and ceaselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him realize that the Water Control talent also had a significant enhancing effect on his Divine Hidden Sea Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recovery speed was several times that of an ordinary cultivator’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the spiritual power circulated, it continuously evolved, refining impurities, pure and exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time to purchase a Spirit Gathering Array!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan found that the Spiritual Qi in the practice room had been completely absorbed by him, becoming extremely thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These practice rooms all connected to the market’s Spirit Vein, the richness of the Spiritual Qi depending on the level of the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan lived on the outskirts of the market, in a Ding rank residence, the Spiritual Qi in the practice room only suited for early stage Qi Cultivation cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, middle stage Qi Cultivation cultivators would rent a Bing rank residence, with an annual rent of thirty-six Spirit Stones, three times that of a Ding rank residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above that, there were Yi rank residences for late stage Qi Cultivation and Jia rank residences for Foundation Establishment cultivators, with prices higher each tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wealth, a partner, techniques, and a place,\" are the four essential elements for a cultivator’s practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, \"a place\" refers to a cultivation venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a cultivation venue, practicing is like water without a source, wood without roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current practice room couldn’t meet Shen Xuan’s cultivation needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could either move to a Bing rank residence or purchase a Spirit Gathering Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan decisively chose the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by low-tier Loose Cultivators, it was actually safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was currently broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary task was to earn Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Shen Xuan successfully refined the Water Cloud Shield, while practicing the Condensed Water Blade Technique and creating Water Control Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the skill level at mastery for Water Control Talismans, the success rate steadily reached forty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred and twenty sets of talisman-making materials, fifty Water Control Talismans, among which about ten were of excellent quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty Spirit Stones as cost, earning sixty Spirit Stones in revenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Talisman Making Skill improved, the speed of making talismans became faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Shen Xuan could consume eight sheets of talisman paper a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a month, he could earn sixty Spirit Stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid arousing the Ding Family’s suspicion, Shen Xuan even deliberately held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept the high-quality Water Control Talismans and earned only twenty Spirit Stones a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this made Shopkeeper Ding envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Shen, maintaining a success rate of over thirty percent for several months, you’re a genuine Middle Grade Talisman Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I compare to you, Shopkeeper Ding, sitting here without moving and earning over a thousand Spirit Stones a month!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that much! The shop belongs to the family, I’m just an employee, I only receive eighteen Spirit Stones as a monthly stipend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan chuckled, not arguing with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake has its path, and the mouse has its way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe that Shopkeeper Ding would honestly only earn that meager stipend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Show me the Spirit Gathering Array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a year, combined with previous savings, there were now one hundred and thirty Spirit Stones in the storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Ding brought out several ornate boxes, each containing Spirit Gathering Array Banners of different qualities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Array Banners had the advantage of being easy to carry and set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was impossible to set up a powerful Array of Forbidden Techniques, forming a Tier One array was still feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Produced by the sect, quality guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan looked over the Array Banners and the instruction manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit, they were truly expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly better set of Spirit Gathering Array Banners started at a hundred Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During use, Spirit Stones had to be inserted, with one Stone only maintaining it for two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to directly using Spirit Stones for cultivation, the Spirit Gathering Array could transform the Stone into Spiritual Qi, locking it within a ten-foot radius around the array master, making the efficiency higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some bargaining, Shen Xuan purchased a small Spirit Gathering Array banner for ninety-five Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning home, Shen Xuan immediately set up the Spirit Gathering Array in the practice room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt about it, the Spirit Gathering Array, with a Spirit Stone placed in it, allowed for much faster cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect was far better than holding a Spirit Stone in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Spirit Stone, two hours, equaled the previous results of four hours of cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doubled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having money really makes a difference!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Spirit Gathering Array, the ten-foot surrounding area was filled with a mist of Spiritual Qi, even the breath lightly pulsating with spiritual light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what cultivation should be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, within a year’s time, he would be able to break through his cultivation realm to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>",1477,"2026-06-03T09:12:56.907Z","2026-06-03T09:12:58.281Z",1,"novelbin.me","1257ef15301cd581fece456c74de0b0473729d933f4b0cfa2b5f310c75854254","longevity-my-talents-are-a-bit-abundant-chapter-14","longevity-my-talents-are-a-bit-abundant-chapter-12",685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-my-talents-are-a-bit-abundant-cover.jpg"]
