Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 442 A Beauty Adds Fragrance (Seeking Subscriptions)

Heavenly Immortal Courtyard, VIP Box.

"This humble girl, Dingxiang, greets senior."

Opposite him, a female cultivator of about forty years old with a slender waist and almond-shaped face, held a fan with mandarin ducks playing in the water and bowed to Shen Xuan.

"I am Shen Fei, a newly appointed guest elder of the Chen family. I have just arrived here and hope that Fellow Daoist Dingxiang will take good care of me in the future." Shen Xuan returned the greeting with a smile.

Dingxiang has only reached the peak of Qi cultivation.

Shen Xuan's return gift was a great honor for her.

"No, please! Senior Shen, if you need anything, just let me know!"

To be in charge of the Celestial Academy, one must naturally be a very shrewd and capable person.

Dingxiang chuckled softly, her pearl fan partially obscuring her luscious lips, revealing a hint of shyness.

Shen Xuan chuckled inwardly.

Judging from this, Dingxiang must have recently been promoted from a fairy.

Their speech and mannerisms also revealed the habitual actions of fairies.

It wasn't that I was deliberately trying to seduce him.

Currently, Shen Xuan's cultivation level is at the third level of Foundation Establishment.

It may seem insignificant to outsiders.

But on this small Dragon Island, there are top-tier experts.

In the Tianxian Academy of the market, he is a master among masters.

Moreover, he deliberately disguised his appearance to make himself look younger.

Handsome and elegant.

He looks more like a young master from a prominent family who has come out to gain experience.

"I need intelligence on Shenlong Island and the surrounding forces."

Shen Xuan explained his purpose.

Just now, he took out a mid-grade spirit stone at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

The experienced colleague told him everything he knew.

Unfortunately, that senior waiter was of a very low standard.

I can only provide some of the most basic information.

Many of these are unfounded rumors.

The only useful thing is that the power behind this Heavenly Immortal Academy is the Qingyin Sect, which is mainly composed of female cultivators.

It's somewhat similar to the Hehuan Sect.

However, they follow the orthodox Taoist path.

Tianxian Academy is merely a peripheral industry.

The fairies inside, though beautiful and charming, are not demonic cultivators and do not practice demonic arts.

In the Yan state, the Qingyin sect was quite influential.

It is only below the five major sects.

It is said that there is a female Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Qingyin Sect.

Since they're in the entertainment industry, it's impossible for them not to do intelligence work.

"Ok."

Dingxiang personally brought over an intelligence jade slip.

Shen Xuan glanced at it.

The label above has the character "甲" on it.

It should be the best and most expensive kind.

"How many spirit stones?"

"Eight hundred."

"It's not expensive at all!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and paid with spirit stones.

But he was thinking to himself.

The cheaper it is, the less good it is.

It seems that the intelligence business here is far less lucrative than that of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect.

However, the fairies of the Celestial Academy, who do not cultivate seductive arts, find it difficult to obtain valuable core information.

After all, it's the men who come here to spend money.

I still prefer the kind of person who is highly skilled, full of ingenious tricks, and can make them feel like they're in heaven.

Seriously, what's so fun about that!

"Would Senior Shen like a young lady to keep him company?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any newcomers who haven't yet opened a business?"

This is jargon.

It will be open for business immediately upon opening.

The first time is when the face is opened.

"Since Senior Shen has spoken, the Celestial Academy must have it, whether it doesn't exist or not."

Dingxiang said with a smile.

"Call them all over here, let me take a look."

Not long after.

Dingxiang led five beautiful fairies in.

They were both sixteen or seventeen years old, virgins, and had not yet had their faces opened.

His cultivation level is only at the early stage of Qi Refining.

Shen Xuan scanned it with his divine sense.

He casually pointed to the girl in the center with an oval face and wearing a pink and yellow dress.

"Just you."

Dingxiang waved her hand, signaling the rest of the people to leave.

"Senior Shen has a good eye. This Miss Ruyue is gentle, kind, and considerate..."

Shen Xuan interrupted Ding Xiang's boasting.

"How many spirit stones?"

"Three hundred spirit stones. Miss Ruyue's wedding ceremony can't be too low."

Shen Xuan glanced at Ruyue again.

Her face was as radiant as the crescent moon, exquisitely beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow, so delicate it seemed to break at a touch.

However, her face was slightly pale, her body looked a little frail, and her eyes were somewhat dull and lifeless.

"Lilac, I meant the price for redemption."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

"what!"

Dingxiang suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Ruyue's dull eyes instantly brightened.

A pair of beautiful eyes, hidden behind a beaded fan, repeatedly scrutinized Shen Xuan.

"Redemption? This..."

Dingxiang hesitated and said, "Senior Shen, according to the rules of Tianxian Academy, girls are not allowed to redeem themselves before they reach the legal age."

"Rules are made to be broken!"

Shen Xuan snorted coldly: "Two thousand spirit stones!"

"We have put a lot of effort into training Ruyue."

"Two thousand five hundred!"

"Miss Ruyue is not for sale. She has good spiritual roots, strong learning talent, and a promising future."

"Three thousand!"

"Miss Ruyue is exceptionally talented. She is skilled in playing various instruments and singing."

"Three thousand five hundred!"

"Miss Ruyue is a talented singer and dancer with exceptional abilities. She is very likely to join a sect in the future."

"It is even possible to lay the foundation for the Dao."

This is just gilding the lily.

It was also a pie in the sky that Qingyin Pavilion was making to all the female cultivators of Tianxian Academy.

If they were truly talented, would Qingyin Pavilion have allowed them to work in this field?
"four thousand!"

Dingxiang wanted to say something more, but Shen Xuan stopped her.

"This is the highest price. We can't raise it any higher."

Shen Xuan gazed at Dingxiang.

"You're training her to earn spirit stones. I'll give you the full amount at once."

“Spirit stones. I have plenty. But I don’t like being used as a scapegoat.”

"Yuantong" means "to be taken advantage of." Dingxiang chuckled awkwardly, "I have no objection. However, it depends on whether the young lady is willing."

The voice just fell.

Then Ruyue said softly, "This servant is willing!"

Dingxiang's smile froze instantly.

……

Inside the VIP box.

Her eyes, like the moon, sparkled with joy.

After paying the spirit stones, Shen Xuan expressionlessly released a burst of spiritual energy to destroy Ruyue's indenture contract.

"Senior Shen, I will go and fetch Elder Li to remove the tracking marks from Ruyue's body."

Dingxiang carefully put away the spirit stones and said with a smile.

"no need!"

Shen Xuan waved to Ruyue.

A lifelike fish of spiritual energy leaped from his palm and shot onto Ruyue's delicate body.

Ruyue trembled slightly.

An extremely refreshing and cool sensation instantly spread throughout my body.

"You're incredibly skilled, senior!"

Dingxiang couldn't help but praise.

The foundation-building overhaul is terrifying!
The tracking marks on Ruyue's body were easily dispelled.

"Here's a stick of incense. Go and tidy up. Throw away or give away anything that's not important."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

"Yes."

Ruyue gave a deep bow, then turned and ran out happily.

She had completely lost all her composure.

In just half an incense stick's time.

Ruyue changed into a slightly simpler white dress, washed away her makeup, put on only light makeup, carried a small bundle, and returned to the VIP room.

"let's go!"

Shen Xuan stood up, took Ruyue, and walked out of the VIP room.

Dingxiang led the way with a fawning smile.

The fairies in the Celestial Courtyard, whether they were open for business or not, all looked over with surprise.

The fairies who were singing and dancing also stopped.

"Why is Ruyue dressed like this? Could it be that she has redeemed herself from her servitude?"

"Ruyue has caught the eye of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"Ruyue is so lucky. Back then, I was even prettier than her, how come I never had such good fortune!"

"Forget it, you should look in the mirror!"

Even bolder ones shouted at Shen Xuan, "Senior, this servant is willing to serve you! This servant has spirit stones and does not need you to pay for her release!"

Shen Xuan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly.

The pressure from the Foundation Establishment cultivator was released, startling the fairies who screamed and gave way.

"What are you yelling about! Shut up, all of you! You've disturbed Senior Shen, and you're all in for it!"

Dingxiang said angrily.

The chaotic Tianxian Academy gradually quieted down.

Shen Xuan, with Ruyue in tow, was about to walk out of the Heavenly Immortal Academy gate.

A round-faced girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

"Senior, I am willing to serve you like a beast of burden!"

Shen Xuan's eyes turned slightly cold.

I saw this girl in the VIP room just now.

Dingxiang was furious and gave him a look.

Two guards stepped forward and grabbed the round-faced girl.

"Sister Ruyue, please help your sister! We're best friends!"

Ruyue pursed her lips tightly, remaining silent.

He was about to be dragged away by the guards.

The round-faced girl shouted, "Senior, I'm better than Ruyue! Ruyue has a physical disability! She has a huge scar on her back!"

Shen Xuan remained silent, coldly gazing at Ding Xiang.

Dingxiang shivered.

"Shut her up!"

One of the guards channeled his spiritual power and struck the round-faced girl on the neck, knocking her unconscious.

"Senior Shen..."

Dingxiang forced a smile.

Shen Xuan ignored her completely and walked straight out of the Celestial Courtyard.

Behind her, Ruyue quickly followed.

……

We left Shenlong Island Market.

Shen Xuan stopped by a lake.

The setting sun melts into gold, and colorful clouds fill the sky.

Ruyue stood a zhang behind him.

"Don't use the name Ruyue anymore."

Shen Xuan gazed at the sky, lost in thought.

"Life is but a dream, and we see the world through drunken eyes. From now on, your name will be Bai Xiaomeng."

"Yes, this servant is Bai Xiaomeng."

"Don't refer to yourself as 'this humble servant.' Xiaomeng doesn't mean 'small' or 'young,' but rather 'knows and understands.'"

Shen Xuan turned around and stared at Bai Xiaomeng.

"The past is past! Now, you are the maid Bai Xiaomeng. My name is Shen Fei, the newly promoted guest master of the Chen family."

"Yes. Your maid Bai Xiaomeng greets you, sir."

Shen Xuan nodded.

Indeed intelligent.

Shen Xuan redeemed Bai Xiaomeng from her servitude, not because he was attracted to her beauty.

He had reached a level of cultivation that he possessed.

There are countless young and beautiful female cultivators who are willing to give themselves to him for free.

At least, the Chen family was quite happy with it.

However, after practicing the "White Bone Contemplation Inner Vision Method," Shen Xuan made considerable progress in abstaining from lust and fear.

Besides, given Shen Xuan's current physical condition...

Even female cultivators in the Qi Refining stage couldn't withstand it.

If you can't fully unleash your potential, it won't make any sense.

Shen Xuan's purpose was simply to find a maid to help him manage his cave dwelling and handle daily chores.

Such as opening and closing cave formations, cooking meals, caring for spiritual plants, and receiving and delivering letters.

The selection of Bai Xiaomeng from five beauties was based on her temperament, but that was only superficial.

Bai Xiaomeng has a water elemental root and is the most talented among the five.

There are about fifteen or sixteen points.

If Shen Xuan were to intervene and cleanse Bai Xiaomeng's marrow, and then use a high-quality Creation Pill, her spiritual root would have a chance to be upgraded to the middle grade.

He possessed a mid-grade water elemental root and was also by Shen Xuan's side, receiving instruction from him through words and deeds.

If she is obedient and well-behaved, Bai Xiaomeng has a chance to achieve Foundation Establishment.

Of course, that's something for a long time to come.

Shen Xuan summoned a flying boat, took Bai Xiaomeng with him, left Shenlong Island, and flew back to Chunfeng Island.

We just arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Mu Ling'er then transformed into a streak of light and flew over.

"Ling'er is exhausted! Master Shen, the array that Ling'er set up for you was made with the best materials."

"The price of array materials has gone up! Ling'er is losing a lot of money!"

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "So?"

"So, Master Shen, you have to pay more!"

Mu Ling'er spoke with an air of complete entitlement.
