Witch, please have some self-respect!

"These prodigies suppress their combat power not just for the rewards. The sect has rules: those who reach the fifteenth combat power limit before the age of forty in the Body Nourishing Realm and before the age of one hundred in the Blood Sea Realm will be admitted to the Holy Sect's true disciples!"

Huang Changxing revealed a rule, which was the reason why those prodigies suppressed their own strength.

Shen Yun nodded. It was alright; he had already passed the age of forty twenty years ago.

Once you've achieved complete physical health in the future, there will be no need to suppress your own abilities.

After breaking through the Blood Sea Realm, one could consider attempting to become a true disciple.

Huang Changxing exclaimed, "Senior Sister Feng has entered the True Lineage and received the true teachings. She has only been in the Blood Sea for two years, and she was able to slay a Heavenly Palace Realm demon in the Golden Rock Mountains not long ago."

"Is the true law really that powerful?"

Shen Yun was taken aback. The young lady was not at the Heavenly Palace Realm as he had imagined; she was actually at the Blood Sea Realm.

"True techniques can be directly applied to the physical body, multiplying the amplification of cultivation methods and combat techniques!"

Huang Changxing's words made Shen Yun gasp in shock, as he had contributed to warming up the Qing Sha Secret Realm.

The calculation of breaking through the limit of combat power is very simple: it is the product of one's own innate talent and true method, and the product of one's skill and combat method.

Everyone knows that the latter is easy to obtain, while the former is the most difficult to acquire.

Talent is innate; even if one can compensate with natural skills, it still requires a great deal of resources and time to cultivate it to a certain level.

The true teachings are not discussed in detail, as they are things that can only be accessed by those who receive the true transmission.

"If only we could also master the true method."

"Who can argue with that!"

The key to the true method, according to legend, is opening the ancestral aperture and consuming divine intent. This can only be drawn by a divine being at a great cost, and requires the transfer of resources from the main sect...."

After discussing their unrealistic fantasies, the two returned to reality.

"I'll offer thirteen contribution points for a high-quality attribute rune, and six contribution points for a regular high-quality one."

In order to cooperate with Shen Yun in the long term, Huang Changxing reluctantly offered a more generous price.

There are seven attribute runes and thirteen ordinary runes on the table, totaling one hundred and sixty-nine contribution points.

Shen Yun nodded, and just as Huang Changxing was about to transfer the money, Shen Yun said, "Wait a moment."

Huang Changxing looked distressed.

Regret it?

"I want to sell you an extra rune stone. I can guarantee that its power is no less than that of a regular high-quality attribute rune stone. I'll sell it to you cheaply for six contribution points, on the condition that you help me test its power."

Shen Yun took out the Frost Burst Rune Stone he had made.

Looking at the talisman, Huang Changxing's previously casual gaze suddenly sharpened.

He sensed a violent energy within it, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

"Okay, I'll give it a try then."

Huang Changxing had no objection; he also knew that some senior talisman masters had unique methods.

Shen Yun's talisman looks extraordinary; it might bring him a pleasant surprise.

After explaining how to use it to Huang Changxing, the transaction between the two was successfully completed.

Shen Yun's contribution points have accumulated to 530.

He repeatedly declined the invitation to Miaoyinfang and watched Huang Changxing disappear into the rain.

After getting to know him a few times, Shen Yun felt that this person was not bad. Apart from always inviting him to Miaoyinfang, he was quite upright.

Furthermore, he promised Shen Yun that he would save the best pieces of the essence of demonic beasts for him in the future.

Huang Changxing is also a good channel.

To cultivate the Blood Heaven Technique to perfection, one must bathe in the blood of at least a hundred demons' hearts and gradually progress through the process.

Even if it's all the heart blood of a late-stage nurturing beast, it would still take dozens of portions.

"In cultivation, one must avoid being all talk and no action. I don't compare myself to people like Feng Luoyi and Wu Rou."

Recalling the news of the Limit-Breaking Technique, Shen Yun secretly warned himself.

Currently, we are striving towards the goal of Huang Changxing, first breaking through the Blood Sea, and after eliminating the anxiety of lifespan, we can continue to catch up.

With the help of the ancient scrolls, Shen Yun was confident that he would achieve great things in the future.

That evening, Su Wan'er and Xiao Tongtong brought out a homemade cake, sprinkled with a lot of spirit fruit slices.

"My lord, please try our cooking."

A bite of cream-coated spirit fruit gave Shen Yun a refreshing feeling; it was sweet but not cloying, and had a rich, fragrant aroma.

Thanks to the superior quality of the raw materials, it tastes even better than the animal-based cream cakes from my previous life.

"It's delicious, not just because it looks good, but also because of the cream..."

Shen Yun was generous with his praise, hoping it would encourage a next time.

He could pull out all sorts of praise he'd given in his past life.

The compliments made Su Wan'er and Xiao Tongtong blush, and they even doubted whether they were really that good.

But with Shen Yun's firm praise, he beamed with joy.

"I've almost mastered it. I'll do even better next time for my husband!"

Su Wan'er ate in small bites, dignified and elegant.

Seeing that Shen Yun had accidentally smeared cream on his cheek, she put down the cake and picked up a handkerchief to wipe it off her husband.

Little Tongtong was also eating happily on the side, her peach blossom eyes narrowing into crescents as she ate with smacking sounds.

This is the first time I've ever eaten something so delicious, and the preparation process was like turning something rotten into something magical.

When Mom comes back, I'll cook something for her.

The rain stopped for the next day, and Shen Yun prepared to exchange for blood food.

These days, he has been working with cultivators who are in the late stage of Body Nourishing or even the perfect stage of Body Nourishing.

Although those people respected him for various reasons, he kept in mind that self-cultivation was the most important thing.

"Husband, let's eat."

Shen Yun was stretching his muscles in the courtyard when Wan'er, who had already prepared breakfast, called him to eat.

I didn't invite Xiaotongtong from next door over to eat today. The little girl is very stubborn. Even though it's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks, she always insists on cooking for herself.

I don't want to develop a habit of constantly causing trouble for Shen Yun's family.

After the meal, Shen Yun watched Wan'er skillfully clear the table, thought for a moment, and said:

"These days you've been cooking, tending the spirit fields, doing laundry, and sharing household chores. Since you advanced, your cultivation has fallen behind."

Although Shen Yun occasionally cooks and takes care of the courtyard, Su Wan'er does most of the work quietly behind the scenes.

They weren't otherworldly immortals; their small family had its share of chores.

Su Wan'er's eyes were like spring water, her gaze clear and bright, as she spoke softly.

"I am happy to take care of my husband and share his burdens. As for my cultivation... I'm not in a hurry."

Compared to her previous youthful and dignified demeanor, she now exudes an alluring charm.

After a satisfying meal...

Wan'er's words touched Shen Yun, but also made him feel sorry for her, so he put his arm around her.

Perhaps due to her experience as a maid in the Feng family, Wan'er always habitually regarded herself as subordinate, with everything centered around Shen Yun.

"Let's buy a maid to do chores. Wan'er, you need to focus on your cultivation. Now that my strength is increasing, you're too weak to fight at night and have to use both your hands and mouth to..."

Shen Yun gently stroked her jet-black hair and said with a mischievous smile.

"My husband~"

Wan'er blushed deeply and pressed her index finger to Shen Yun's lips: "Whatever you say, it's up to you!"

She had long suspected that her husband had undergone a complete transformation since arriving in the Holy City.

They're getting younger and younger, and also more and more courageous.

When Shen Yun was at home and made no attempt to disguise himself, his face was no longer wrinkled.

His skin is fair, and he has regained some of the handsome features he had in his youth.

"Alright, pick some suitable maids. Wan'er will need to learn how to be the mistress of the house from now on."

With his current wealth, buying a maid shouldn't cost him much money.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yun changed into his outer disciple robes and walked towards the street, leaning on his cane.
