My Profound Water Turtles laid the foundation; Fellow Daoist Shen ate more than twenty of them over the past six months!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendor’s words made everyone realize that it seemed to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen Xuan went out, a big crowd had already gathered around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Shen, are those Profound Water Turtles really effective?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he kept a straight face and said seriously, \"Of course they’re useful! Three Spirit Stones for one, you tell me if they’re useful or not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd burst into laughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But indeed, the vendor’s Profound Water Turtles quickly became popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Xuan really broke through to the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding, the shopkeeper, who was sipping Spirit Tea, spat it out with a \"puff\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An old cultivator over sixty, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation with just one Explosive Spirit Pill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Ding was filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, rumors started to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said that after Shen Xuan got married, he became adept at maintaining himself, purchasing a juvenile Profound Water Turtle every ten or so days for nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also happened to be a Water Cultivator, highly compatible with Profound Water Turtles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether others believed it or not, in the market, the price of Profound Water Turtles visibly skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juvenile Profound Water Turtles, once priced at just two or three Spirit Stones, rose to three or four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adult Profound Water Turtles leapt from twenty Spirit Stones to thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, they were snatched up completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan foresaw these rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation would significantly elevate his status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still at the bottom tier, possessing a unique skill would soon attract the patronage of cultivation clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan hadn’t yet visited the Ding Family shop when Shopkeeper Ding arrived with gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, looking at Shen Xuan, Shopkeeper Ding couldn’t hide his surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Xuan, did you really break through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to Shopkeeper Ding’s Explosive Spirit Pill, I managed a lucky breakthrough,\" Shen Xuan replied humbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, many neighbors were watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lived here a long time, some even longer than Shen Xuan himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For over forty years, Shen Xuan has lived a reclusive life, following a strict routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew Shen Xuan as an inferior talisman master and an ascetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spirit root was poor, most likely an Inferior Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected that after forty years, at sixty, he would truly break through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the familiar handsome face before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Ding vaguely remembered over forty years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fresh-faced Shen Xuan bought talisman materials from his shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Shen Xuan’s talisman success rate was frighteningly low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that, he persevered relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Shopkeeper Ding had mused to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao is ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a diligent and hardy person, limited by his spirit root talent, would in his lifetime be restricted to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Shen Xuan was stuck at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer for a full thirty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many thirty years does one have in life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, with just one Explosive Spirit Pill, he broke through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The world is full of surprises!\" Shopkeeper Ding commented thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well that the key to Shen Xuan’s breakthrough to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer was that Explosive Spirit Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Priced at fifty Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shen Xuan hadn’t recently advanced his talisman making skill, enabling him to produce high-quality talismans, he couldn’t afford it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shopkeeper Ding’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan could roughly guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purchasing the otherwise useless Explosive Spirit Pill was just a setup for him breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, his efforts culminated in success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, news of Talisman Master Turtle Shen Xuan breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer spread widely through Cyan Dragon Bay Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many loose cultivators, upon hearing the news, were filled with emotion, some even admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was incredibly inspirational!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over sixty, at his age, he still managed a breakthrough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can no longer refer to him as Talisman Master Turtle. With his ascetic nature, advancing to a Middle Grade Talisman Master is just a matter of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. If he becomes a Middle Grade Talisman Master, buying spirit talismans from him would surely be cheaper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ding Family got lucky! Married a mortal woman, and gained a Middle Grade Talisman Master as a son-in-law for free!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Shen Xuan’s breakthrough, the meaning attached to Talisman Master Turtle gradually turned into a positive affirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legend that the Profound Water Turtle could supplement a Water Cultivator spread more widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan observed from home for a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the market cultivators acknowledged his hard work and didn’t raise other suspicions, he finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’d always been known for going decades with a consistent routine, avoiding vices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan began considering the next steps in his cultivation journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had improved his spirit root talent by seizing the talents of demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he had to continue acquiring demon beast talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, he needed to be especially cautious in choosing which demon beasts to target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While seizing the Silver Jade Fish, he discovered that the Silver Jade Fish also had Water Control Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed the plan to seize Invisibility Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Water Spirit Root enhanced to 10 points, it was now an Inferior Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, allowing cultivation up to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If enhanced to 20 points, it would become Middle Grade Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possibilities opened up for Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even attempt to reach Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While contemplating, someone knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cultivator’s residence in the market had a small defense array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The annual rent of twelve Spirit Stones provided a training ground and a degree of safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Late Stage Qi Cultivators couldn’t break into Shen Xuan’s residence easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, should anything happen, the Ding Family’s Law Enforcement Team would quickly respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the door to find Zhao Chunsheng and Jiang Xueqi, a couple, standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you have business with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were important guests!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s talk inside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, please come in quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan hurriedly called Ding Yuyao to brew some spirit tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Shen, congratulations on breaking through to the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation. A small gift, a token of respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Jiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan accepted respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was merely some inexpensive spirit fruits and vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qi Cultivation Late Stage Demon Hunters, taking the initiative to visit to congratulate was quite considerate of Shen Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard, Fellow Daoist Shen, that you can craft high-quality Breath Concealment Talismans and Invisibility Talismans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chunsheng took a small sip of the spirit tea brewed by Ding Yuyao and got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. However, my talisman success rate is not very high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chunsheng nodded, saying, \"Fellow Daoist Shen, building up bit by bit, there’s no need to rush. In a few days, my wife and I will go hunting in Shadow Forest. Sell me some high-quality Breath Concealment and Invisibility Talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! How many does Fellow Daoist Zhao need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For such fast-consumption items, as long as the price is reasonable, two to three hundred would work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xuan smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out all the high-quality talismans in his storage pouch, over a hundred in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, this is all I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chunsheng scanned with his Divine Sense and found a hundred high-quality talismans, fifty each of Breath Concealment Talismans and Invisibility Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to produce so many high-quality talismans at once confirmed the rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Shen Xuan indeed had some talent in talisman making.\u003C\u002Fp>",1398,"2026-06-03T09:12:56.907Z","2026-06-03T09:12:58.281Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee6a7f4de10ec8da0340fdce691c4433cc62c7efb8fb358e1ce0c9d459cc381a","longevity-my-talents-are-a-bit-abundant-chapter-9","longevity-my-talents-are-a-bit-abundant-chapter-7",685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-my-talents-are-a-bit-abundant-cover.jpg"]
