Witch, please have some self-respect!

Chapter 93 New Neighbors! Breaking 30,000!

Shen Yun also swirled his wine glass.

The 30-year-old vintage has a pale milky white hue, a crisp aroma, and a smooth, mellow taste, which is then consumed in one gulp.

"There's a small, private trade fair hosted by a third-tier master in a few days. It'll be a barter system. My skills aren't up to par, and if I don't have anything to exchange, people will look down on me. I can't, I can't..."

Duan Fushi narrowed his eyes, his large pregnant belly protruding, and whispered his request to Shen Yun.

He knew that the talisman master in front of him seemed to be quite skilled, far beyond what he, a mere amateur, could compare to.

Shen Yun smiled, not worried that he had no needs, and took out a high-quality Ice Mist Talisman and a high-quality Swiftness Talisman, and pushed them over.

That's exactly equivalent to thirty contributions from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

"Sigh, that's too much. One Ice Mist Talisman is enough!"

Master Duan immediately beamed with joy. He wasn't greedy and pushed the premium Swift Travel Talisman to the back.

Shen Yun didn't accept it, but seeing Duan Fushi's reluctance, he pushed it back. After a few more pleas, Duan finally accepted it.

For talisman masters, high-quality items represent not only money, but also skill.

Just like a fisherman, if I can't catch anything, I'll go fishing at the market!

Duan Fushi said he would call him again if needed.

"Hey bro, want to check out the trade fair? I still have some spots available."

Feeling he had gotten a good deal, Duan Fushi asked Shen Yun about it.

Shen Yun was quite interested. "When? Is there any demon beast essence blood?"

"Eight days later."

Duan Fushi thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

"The main trading partners are cultivators who hunt demons in the outside world, so they should have no shortage of demon beast essence and blood."

"Okay, please call me when the time comes, Master Duan."

Shen Yun agreed. He had never participated in such a small-scale barter fair before, and he was quite interested.

Unfortunately, I don't have many high-quality runes left.

"Should we make some two-patterned rune crystals to trade? Maybe we can get some good stuff in return."

This idea involuntarily arose in Shen Yun's mind.

Forget it, we can prepare more high-quality runes instead.

All rune stones are in high demand.

After all, it has few side effects and is even more popular than taking drugs.

Taking out a two-patterned crystal in a crowded place would still attract too much attention.

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

It's not just about the food, it's about the feeling.

Early the next morning, Shen Yun, who was practicing the Nine Strikes of Heaven, received a talismanic jade crystal from Master Duan.

That's fast enough.

It's always good to build connections; relationships are formed through interactions.

"Thunderous Symbol".

After seeing off Master Duan, Shen Yun played with the jade crystal in his hand, feeling quite pleased.

Unfortunately, this good mood only lasted until noon.

After finishing lunch, just as I was about to rest for a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee and slanted eyes, who looked cunning, came to visit the courtyard.

Shen Yun looked at him with a puzzled expression as she went outside.

His first impression of this person's appearance was not good.

"You must be Master Shen Fu. I'm Hao Rui, the new tenant, and I'm about to pass the certification for becoming an entry-level alchemist."

I'll be living in this alley from now on. Please take good care of me.

The middle-aged man with the goatee had a warm smile on his face.

Shen Yun, not one to strike a smiling face, replied with a smile, "Congratulations in advance on passing the Heavenly Crafts Bureau's certification. From now on, we'll be neighbors, so let's take care of each other."

It turns out that another alchemy apprentice has moved into Wang Xuan's residence.

It's quite a coincidence.

"This is my specialty powder; I'll give you a sample to try."

As he spoke, Hao Rui took out a jade bottle from his empty bag and handed it over.

"This is?"

Shen Yun thought to himself that this person was quite generous, offering pills right away.

"Illusion-Breaking Powder, the Illusion-Breaking Powder I refined is unmatched by ordinary entry-level rune masters."

If you want to buy it in the future, the neighbors will all give you a 20% discount...

Upon hearing the words "Illusion Breaking Powder," Shen Yun's smile slowly vanished, and his expression instantly turned cold.

"Do you inhale this stuff?"

Hao Rui didn't expect Shen Yun's expression to change so quickly. His smile froze, and he forced a dry laugh with a flickering gaze.

"Inhale, it nourishes the spirit and tempers the will, how can I not inhale?"

A nameless anger rose in Shen Yun's heart. He crossed his arms, looked at him, and said coldly.

"Then try taking it in front of me."

Hao Rui felt a little guilty under Shen Yun's gaze.

"Illusion-Breaking Powder needs to be enjoyed in a quiet room. Since Shen Fushi doesn't welcome it, I won't disturb him."

With that, Hao Rui turned and walked towards Xiao Ruyan's house next door.

"stop."

Shen Yun frowned. "A visit is fine, but if you promote your Illusion Breaking Powder again, I'll make sure you leave Lingnongfang in a sorry state!"

Hao Rui paused, feeling a surge of annoyance at Shen Yun's threat.

"Master Shen, I know you are a disciple of the Holy Sect, but I am not some wandering cultivator either."

Hao Rui turned around, his smile vanished, and a ruthless glint flashed in his slanted eyes.

"I am a pill refiner from Illusionary Mist Garden. Illusionary Mist Garden is supported by both the Heavenly Crafting Palace and powerful figures from the Holy Sect. Think carefully about the consequences of obstructing us!"

"I can't control the Illusionary Mist Garden, but if you dare to cause trouble here, I'll have to take care of it."

1

Shen Yun snorted coldly, showing disdain for Hao Rui's threat.

After this incident, Hao Rui lost the courage to promote the product and slunk home.

He had inquired about the area before coming and knew that Shen Yun was not someone to be trifled with.

Originally, I wanted to drag Shen Yun into this first, as it would be more beneficial for his promotion.

So I chose Wang Xuan's house, which was diagonally across the street, but I didn't expect to encounter a setback right away.

After closing the door, Hao Rui's eyes showed a resentful look. He hadn't expected Shen Yun to be so wary and to show him no respect whatsoever.

Taking a deep breath, I realized this mission was a bit tricky; it seemed I'd have to proceed cautiously with these streets.

"Now we might fall behind Ma San on Second Street. I should have chosen that side."

Hao Rui regretted it.

There are many people like him. The Illusionary Mist Garden is located in a bustling area, and its influence is very wide.

But even remote places like Lingnongfang were not overlooked by the authorities, so they sent people there to open up sales channels.

The strategy is to first have alchemists set up shop and sell their products, cultivating a group of people who will consume them, in preparation for opening a shop later.

The authorities want the use of Illusion-Breaking Powder to become a trend in the Holy City.

Everywhere you look, you can see people using illusion powder.

Furthermore, the Illusion-Breaking Powder of the Blood Sea Realm must also be researched.

On the other side, Shen Yun also frowned. Outside the Holy City, demonic beasts were attacking, and inside, the Illusion-Breaking Powder was rampaging. It was truly a time of great turmoil.

"The Illusionary Mist Garden has also set its sights on these impoverished neighborhoods."

From this small detail, Shen Yun realized the ambition of the Illusionary Mist Garden.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

People are unlikely to be wary until they have truly experienced the harm caused by such a thing.

Especially in holy cities where propaganda is very outdated.

Moreover, the Illusionary Mist Garden has the support of both the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau and the high-ranking members of the Holy Sect.

After taking a deep look at the neighbor, Shen Yun called Old Liu over and informed each household.

Making everyone wary is a way of showing consideration for the neighbors.

When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on; when water comes, we'll dam it. For now, we just need to ensure that the people around him are safe.

In the afternoon, Shen Yun spent the entire afternoon carving source stones in preparation for the trade fair a few days later.

Once his blessing points are used up, he will continue carving according to his current skill level. With the help of the true meaning, which grants Shen Yun keen perception, his success rate as an ordinary talisman master is over 80%.

Two high-quality pieces have also been produced.

Master Duan said that there are many cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of Body Nourishing at the trade fair, so even ordinary talismans are in high demand.

At night, Shen Yun continued to refine the essence of the demon beast's heart.

Of the five jars that Huang Changxing brought, one jar was refined last night, and the refining will continue today.

However, after refining another jar today, Shen Yun felt a strange sensation rising within him.

"Is this... a breakthrough coming?"

Shen Yun was a little surprised; it happened a few days faster than he had expected.

It's probably because of the "Blood Heaven Technique".

Besides tempering blood and qi, increasing strength, and replenishing the foundation of one's cultivation, it can also slightly boost the cultivation of the Body Nourishing Realm.

After all, a jar of a demon beast's heart's blood is the essence of a demon beast at the peak of its cultivation.

It's even more nourishing than blood food.

Having sensed a breakthrough, Shen Yun didn't hesitate and immediately devoured three pieces of blood food.

The transition from the fourth to the fifth stage of Body Nourishment is a minor hurdle, and breaking through it is not difficult.

The Jianchun breathing method circulates within the body, visualizing the true meaning of Jianchun in the ancestral aperture, breaking through the barrier again and again.

Two hours later, a powerful surge of energy spread throughout Shen Yun's limbs and bones, causing his bones to vibrate with a metallic sound, his muscles to coil like a dragon, and his skin to visibly thicken.

His skin is as tough as iron, he is not afraid of ordinary knives and guns, and he can lift a 3,000-pound boulder with one arm.

This is the fifth stage of body nourishment.

Shen Yun clenched his fist. His strength, due to his cultivation of the Blood Heaven Technique, had reached 3,500 jin.

With an increase of more than six times, a single punch could unleash a force of over 25,000 jin.

"We still need to work harder. Among those at the same level, only those who break through their limits can be considered truly strong."

Shen Yun let out a long breath, suppressing his smugness.

The standard for achieving perfect physical strength is 10,000 jin (approximately 5,000 kg) of strength; only when one reaches 100,000 jin (approximately 50,000 kg) of strength can one be considered to have broken through the limit.

He's still a long way off!

However, he has only been in the Holy City for five months, and he has already reached the fifth level of Body Nourishing, which is equivalent to breaking through a barrier once a month.

For his age and foundation, it is already quite astonishing.

of course.

The consumption was also astonishing; they had already eaten six catties of blood food, and countless Blood Essence Pills.

These alone, according to the prices in the Holy City, would cost two or three hundred Originium.

Don't underestimate the amount for Shen Yun, because his talisman mastery is sufficient.

I previously looked at the spirit field; it only yielded fifteen gold coins a month. Even without eating, drinking, or staying in the field, it would take fifty years to accumulate enough.

The Wei brothers could only earn three or four source stones per trip to the wilderness.

Even without supporting a family, it would still take eight or nine years to save up.

It's not a small sum.

Two or three hundred source stones are worth a fortune. If we stayed in Seeking Immortals City, where would we find such opportunities?

The choice we made back then was correct.

Over the next few days, Shen Yun refined all the pure essence of his heart blood, jar after jar, and his cultivation level gradually improved.

After refining a jar of impure heart essence blood, Shen Yun found that the increase in strength was small and the refining process was slow.

The remaining jar of Shen Yun's essence was kept to improve the progress of the Blood Heaven Technique.

The Blood Heaven Technique had increased his weight to 800 jin.

One thousand one hundred catties can increase the foundation, and at that time the ancestral soil in the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows will become larger.

However, before the ancestral land could change, Shen Yun received an unexpected gain.

【Breath Convergence Technique (Perfect +∞)】

The Breath Concentration Technique, which he practiced every moment of the day, was finally perfected.

Within the ancestral aperture, Jianchun rippled, a single leaf reached its full perfection, and clearly drew down a few wisps of energy from outside the ancestral soil, enhancing the true meaning of Jianchun.

Jian Chun's breathing technique increased by 3.3, and it also subtly incorporated the characteristic of concealing one's own aura.

This allowed the true meaning to grow further, finally enabling it to completely cover one-tenth of the ancestral land.

In the darkness, Shen Yun sensed that the true meaning could provide him with an additional 0.1 times boost.

This increase is reflected in the physical body, not in combat techniques or skills.

This, combined with combat techniques and skills, results in a tremendous improvement.

Originally, the physical body only had 4,000 jin of strength. With the addition of 0.1, it is equivalent to unleashing 4,400 jin of strength from the physical body.

Now, Shen Yun's full-force attack, amplified more than sixfold, can exceed 30,000 jin.

In the later stages of normal cultivation, one might not be a match for Shen Yun.

Shen Yun was extremely satisfied with this.
