Witch, please have some self-respect!

With the banquet for the true master's teachings approaching, Shen Yun didn't stand on ceremony and distributed all the ordinary invitations left by Wu Rou.

It mainly gave minor courses to Feng Lei, Feng Dian, Feng Baixuan, Huang Changxing, Chen Ming, and Ren Xiujie, among others.

Build your own network of connections within the Holy Sect.

He didn't touch the mithril and gilded invitations, nor did he intend to.

As time progressed, it reached the ninth day of the Limit-Breaking Technique, which was nearing its end.

[Retirement Blessing Scroll: Second Stage (9996/10000)]

Shen Yun watched as the progress on the ancient scroll was nearing completion.

It's only 4 o'clock, and I can advance to the next level once the settlement is completed at midnight.

As night falls, the crystal chandelier in the room creates a warm ambiance.

Shen Yun reclined on a thick cushion, his chest exposed, revealing his streamlined muscles.

As the Blood Heaven Technique reached its full potential, his physique did not develop into large muscles, but instead became increasingly smooth and powerful.

It is like a fine work of art.

Su Wan'er was slightly out of breath, leaning against Shen Yun, with sweat on her forehead.

Her long, slender legs were playfully draped over Shen Yun's stomach, and she exuded a lazy and contented air.

He moved his neck slightly, bringing his head closer to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

Men are very simple-minded.

"In the past few days, besides the talismans my husband gave me, the talismans from Master Duan, and the auxiliary cultivators my husband met, some people have consigned talismans here for sale, and the quantity is quite large."

Su Wan'er looked up at Shen Yun's profile and started talking about serious matters.

His eyes gleamed with an undeniable affection.

"A reciprocal gesture?"

Shen Yun raised an eyebrow and slowed down his movements.

I understand what happened.

He has sent out many invitations these days, intending to make friends with some fellow disciples of the Holy Sect.

The Holy City is currently experiencing a situation where talismans are extremely scarce. Their decision to consign these talismans here is also a way of repaying Shen Yun and currying favor with him.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will consign even more in the future.

"Ren Xiujie's talisman master has also put two high-quality talisman stones up for consignment here, and Fu Yu's talisman master has also consigned some high-quality ones..."

Su Wan'er named quite a few people.

Whether they are high-quality or ordinary, they add up to two or three hundred pieces.

This is a very large quantity for Wangyuezhai.

Shen Yun listened attentively, "Write down the names of these talisman masters from the Holy Sect and give me a list."

These are people who are worth befriending for the time being.

And it can also cover for him.

In Shen Yun's mind, the more diverse the sources of the runes in the shop, the better, so that the unusual number of his high-quality runes would not be leaked.

He can now produce 120 high-quality attribute runes a month.

Based on its superior quality, and the current price of 25 Originium Stones per stone, exchanging all of them for Originium Stones would earn a profit of 3000.

That's over 30,000 a year.

An ordinary first-tier rune master can only earn a little over three thousand source stones a year.

That number is outrageous!

In the past, it would have been fine if Shen Yun hadn't attracted much attention.

Now, with the improvement of his cultivation level and the advancement of his skills...

He couldn't remain hidden within the Holy Sect forever; he was bound to attract secret attention.

Besides, being low-key doesn't mean blending into the crowd.

Having 100% ability but only showing 20 or 30% is also a form of humility.

As Wangyuezhai sells more and more talismans, including some exquisite ones, it has become quite well-known.

It attracted many disciples of the Holy Sect to come and buy.

His sale of the runes, which he incorporated into the products, has become inconspicuous.

Everything started to make sense.

If you sell a lot, outsiders will only assume that the boss has a wide range of distribution channels and a deep financial foundation.

Moreover, it will be harder for Tiangongfu to investigate in the future, and Duan Peng's channels are safer.

"Currently, our store's products come from three sources: my husband, Duan Xiaomei, and the Holy Sect's talisman masters. By controlling the number of talismans we produce each day, we've achieved a stable profit of fifty to sixty source stones."

At this point, Su Wan'er's eyes almost turned into the shape of Originium.

It can easily reach a thousand a month, and tens of thousands a year.

The amount was far beyond what we could have imagined before.

A skilled Tier 1 Rune Master earns an average of 300 Origin Stones per month.

Of course, these fifty or sixty source stones do not include the money Shen Yun earned from selling talisman stones.

It's the commission from Duan Peng's side, the commission from the sale of runestones through the Holy Sect's auxiliary cultivation channel, and the total amount added together.

The commission rates for the consignment of auxiliary cultivation by the Holy Sect and Shen Yun's consignment are not the same as those for auxiliary cultivation by the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau.

Only half a percent.

You can also earn a lot of Originium by selling other miscellaneous items.

This is just the beginning; there may be more and more in the future.

"It seems Wan'er has a real talent for business!"

Shen Yun patted her smooth shoulder twice with his large hand, indicating his approval.

Su Wan'er managed everything at Wangyuezhai perfectly, never causing Shen Yun any trouble.

What a thoughtful and capable wife.

"My husband is too kind."

A blush spread across Wan'er's face as she twisted her body, pressing herself even closer to Shen Yun.

"However, my husband, most of the customers on this street are disciples of the Holy Sect, and some of them want to be able to pay directly with contribution points."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "My husband told me that one contribution to the Holy Sect can be exchanged for one Origin Stone, but in reality, one contribution is worth more than one Origin Stone. I'm a little undecided."

After a moment's thought, Shen Yun made up his mind.

"We'll exchange it at a rate of one contribution point to one source stone. We've received quite a few contributions from the sect recently, so the price has almost settled."

"However, in the future, when runestones are sold, for the same price, contribution points will be superior to source stones."

As the two chatted, Shen Yun's large hands became increasingly unrestrained.

Wan'er's body seemed to go limp in his arms, and the blush on her face was hard to fade.

Before we knew it, it was already past midnight.

[Today, I received a total of 30 Blessing Points, my partner's satisfaction rate is 100%, a bonus of 10, and an additional 30 Blessing Points.]

...

[A deep conversation with your partner will bring you 10 points of exclusive blessings.]

Do what you love, enjoy life, and you'll receive 15 points of good fortune.

Seeing that Su Wan'er had fallen into a deep sleep, Shen Yun got up and went to the quiet room with renewed energy.

He can't sleep.

The ancient scroll can now be upgraded.

In the quiet room, a calming incense stick was lit. Shen Yun sat cross-legged on a futon, and a thought arose in his mind.

[Purple Thunder Breathing Technique (Mastery 9896/1W)] +5

The next moment, the accumulated blessings were complete, and the ancient scroll shone with radiance.

[Retirement Blessing Scroll: Third Stage (1/15000)]

[Enjoy Blessings: Daily Limit 20]

[Health and Blessings: Daily Limit 20]

...

At the second level, Shen Yun received a total of seventy blessings per day.

Shen Yun, who was at the third rank, calculated that if he were to find another Daoist partner with a satisfaction level and intimacy level both above 90...

The daily limit has been increased to 130, almost double!

"Based on this calculation, the time required for an ancient scroll to advance from level three to level four is shorter than the time required to advance from level two to level three!"

Shen Yun's face lit up with joy.

He had thought it would take longer and longer, but now it seems that having a partner has been very helpful.

Satisfaction with your partner and the level of intimacy between your partner and Shen Yun are very important. Don't tie them randomly; it's best to tie them to values ​​that are high.

The following changes delighted Shen Yun.

【Finding a Partner (Part 2)】

[Exclusive Reward: Increases the total intimacy level with your partner by 10%]

[Bonus Reward: Daily Blessing Calculation Bonus Based on Sum of Satisfaction with Partner]

Su Wan'er

【Intimacy Level: 100】

[Host satisfaction rate: 100%]

[Can be used as a partner]

Shen Yun's spirits lifted. "Finally, there's one more spot available for couples!"

"Who are we connecting this to?"

Until dawn.

Mianzhi got up early and swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard, while Su Wan'er was busy at the stove in the kitchen.

Xiao Ruyan followed Mianzhi from time to time, and then stayed by Su Wan'er's side, always busy doing chores.

Shen Yun stepped out of the quiet room and stared intently at the busy cotton branches.

He could sense that Mianzhi had deep feelings for him and still wanted to see the appraisal results on the ancient scroll.

"Huh!"

Shen Yun was taken aback.

I just didn't expect it to be this high.

Cotton branch

【Favourability: 100】

[Host satisfaction rate: 97%]

[Can be bonded as a partner]

"Perfect value!"

Shen Yun looked at Mianzhi's petite figure with a slightly complicated expression, knowing that Su Wan'er had only recently reached her full potential.

The cotton branch had reached its maximum value without anyone noticing.

"She's really simple-minded and sincere!"

Shen Yun shook his head, deciding to treat her well from now on.

Cotton Branch represents favorability, while Su Wan'er represents intimacy.

That's because Su Wan'er has become a partner; without that, there's only affection level.

Once the bond is established, it will change from a level of affection to a level of intimacy.

Shen Yun looked at Xiao Ruyan as if he had received a new and interesting toy.

Liu Ruyan

【Favourability: 96】

[Host satisfaction rate: 92%]

[Can be bonded as a partner]

Seeing the favorability rating of 96 points, Shen Yun nodded with satisfaction.

They're not ungrateful; this number is already quite high.

However, Shen Yun was not very satisfied with her.

She's too young; she needs to be raised for a few more years.

After finishing his meal, Shen Yun took a stroll to Wangyuezhai in front of the restaurant.

A woman in a yellow dress with delicate features was already cleaning the shop.

"Good morning, Master Shen!"

Upon seeing Shen Yun arrive, she respectfully bowed.

A patch of snow-white skin was inadvertently revealed when she bent over.

I don't know if it was intentional or accidental.

This woman's name is Duan Yuying. She is a cousin of Duan Fushi and assists Su Wan'er in managing Wangyuezhai.

My main responsibilities include purchasing and selling goods at the Tiangongfu storehouse, as well as keeping accounts for that portion.

After the collaboration, Shen Yun gained a deeper understanding of Duan Peng.

Only then did I realize that Duan Peng was not as simple as an ordinary talisman master as he appeared on the surface.

Ordinary people really don't have the means to open a talismanic ritual.

Moreover, Duan Peng's talisman master skills were very poor, and Shen Yun once suspected that his talisman master assessment was questionable.

It's all because the Duan family behind Duan Peng is quite powerful.

The family once produced a third-tier master, and now there is a second-tier weaponsmith and a second-tier rune master in the family.

This is a family that relies on the Heavenly Crafts Bureau for survival and is quite influential.

The supplementary training items that Duan Peng obtained were all acquired and sold through family connections.

"Yu Ying, you've worked hard!"

Shen Yun smiled gently, pretending not to see that patch of snow-white skin.

He took a serious look at Duan Yuying.

Duan Yuying

【Favourability: 75】

[Host satisfaction rate: 69%]

[Can be bonded as a partner]

As the light screen appeared, Shen Yun understood.

Duan Yuying is alright; her favorability rating of 75 is well above the passing grade, so she can be trusted to some extent.

"Is Brother Duan delivering goods today?"

My elder brother should be arriving this morning.

Duan Yuying nodded, straightening her clothes as she tried to get closer to Shen Yun.

Just then, Su Wan'er came in through the back door.

"Brother Duan has arrived and sent word to me."

Shen Yun had no other thoughts about Duan Yuying. After greeting Su Wan'er, he went out.

He doesn't plan to find a partner today, so wasting a day is no big deal.

The blessings of thirty or forty are nothing.

He wanted to use this opportunity, before finding a partner, to observe how others felt about him and get to know more people.

[Passerby A]

【Favourability: 15】

[Host satisfaction rate: 1%]

They should not be bound as partners.

Upon spotting a strange man, Shen Yun glanced at the emerging light screen.

As a normal man, he would have very low satisfaction with men if he were looking for a partner.

That's perfectly normal.

For women who aren't too unattractive, Shen Yun's satisfaction score is generally above 50.

Passing by a brothel, the woman at the window warmly invited Shen Yun inside.

【snowflake】

[Favorability: -12]

[Host satisfaction rate: 11%]

They should not be bound as partners.

Shen Yun glanced at her a few more times. The woman's favorability towards him was negative, yet her face was filled with a captivating smile.

At the very least, their professional skills are quite good.

This wasn't the first person Shen Yun had seen with a negative favorability rating; in fact, there were quite a few like that on the street.

Moreover, the majority of them are ordinary people, and the majority are of the same sex.

The favorability rating for strangers rarely exceeds 20 points, and the same rule applies to negative ratings.

Shen Yun quickly figured this out, since everyone was a stranger.

Afterwards, Shen Yun put on the Holy Sect disciple robes and tried on the auxiliary cultivation badge.

As a result, the number of people on the street who liked him increased significantly, especially women.

However, the number of people with negative feelings towards him has also increased considerably.

The disciples of the Holy Sect within the city held a very high status, and many people harbored grievances against the Holy Sect, but dared not speak out.

I wandered into a street.

Shen Yun brushed past a burly man who looked broad-shouldered and thick-waisted.

【Xiong Gang】

[Favorability: -88]

[Host satisfaction rate: 1%]

They should not be bound as partners.

Seeing the extremely low favorability rating measured by the ancient scroll, Shen Yun couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

This is the greatest enmity we could ever have!

"I don't know him; this is the first time I've met him."

Shen Yun was very clear about this.

He looked down at his clothes.

"Or perhaps the fugitives on the Holy Sect's bounty list are hostile to everyone in the Holy Sect," Shen Yun guessed in his heart.

This person named Xiong Gang was only at the peak of the Body Nourishing stage, but Shen Yun used the Floating Light Escape Technique.

Without making a sound, he captured a trace of its aura and created a tracking talisman.

Then he quietly concealed himself and continued to secretly follow the big man.

I wanted to verify some of my suspicions.

As he passed a deserted street, Shen Yun suddenly reappeared, disguised as an old man in plain clothes.

Having removed his Holy Sect attire and altered his appearance, even those at the Blood Sea Realm might not be able to tell the difference with his current abilities.

"My lord, may I ask how to get to Tianbaofang?"

Shen Yun stopped Xiong Gang, pretending to ask for directions.

【Xiong Gang】

[Favorability: -89]

[Host satisfaction rate: 0%]

They should not be bound as partners.

"roll!"

Xiong Gang, who resembled a wild bear, was extremely impatient. He slapped Shen Yun away from him and pushed him to the ground without even glancing at him.

"Not just the disciples of the Holy Sect, but seemingly hostile to everyone, to all people... Interesting!"

Shen Yun lay on the ground, watching Xiong Gang walk away, a bold guess forming in his mind.

Monster Race!

Since he already had the tracking talisman, he temporarily ignored Xiong Gang.

I've been very busy these past few days and haven't had time to deal with it. I'll wait until I have some free time.
