Witch, please have some self-respect!

Lying on the recliner in the courtyard, Shen Yun experienced a different feeling when enjoying the cotton massage.

This little girl is a 85-year-old, and she's actually giving him a massage.

How far are we from giving him massages at the Eighth or Ninth Dao Foundation?

"I will teach you how to cultivate tonight."

With Shen Yun's unique talent, he wouldn't hesitate to take in an 85-level Dao Foundation cultivator.

Since the cotton branch is unwilling, let's leave it at that for now.

Feng Luoyi, who was at the eighth or ninth level of Dao Foundation, remained in the Body Nourishing Realm for more than ten years.

He ultimately broke through the limits of his cultivation technique and made a name for himself, becoming a true disciple of the Holy Sect.

First, guide Mianzhi onto the path of cultivation. If there is an opportunity, we can always find her a master to guide her.

The first few years were spent laying the foundation, practicing the techniques, without affecting anything else.

The inheritance of Shadowless Light is quite good; even the outer sect of the Holy Sect has not released such an excellent complete inheritance.

Once both methods are perfected, practice two more volumes of Heavenly Merit.

It's not impossible that the true teachings might be challenged.

If we calculate it this way, we can cultivate a true successor.

Not bad.

at night.

Shen Yun used his hands to guide the cotton branch through the complex routes of the "Shadow Escape and Floating Light Technique" within his body.

Sitting cross-legged amidst alternating light and darkness, and using a unique breathing technique, one can feel the flow of Qi and blood within the body.

There are also occasional accompanying movements, which is a method of combining movement and stillness.

As it turns out, even with an 85-level foundation, cultivation techniques cannot be mastered instantly.

However, after Shen Yun explained it five times, Mianzhi learned it.

Looking at the cotton branches intertwined in the light and shadow on the couch, their graceful charm lingering.

Shen Yun discovered that the difference in talent between people is truly enormous.

The more exquisite and powerful a technique is, the more difficult it is to master.

Even with a cultivation technique that amplifies sevenfold, a disciple of the Holy Sect with average comprehension might not be able to successfully master it even in half a year.

Acting within one's means is also a form of wisdom.

At that time, Shen Yun spent three days practicing the "Shadow Escape and Floating Light Skill" with the help of the True Meaning.

If it weren't for his awakened talent, he wouldn't be a genius at all.

He's just an ordinary person.

The next morning, Mianzhi got up early as usual to clean the yard and make breakfast.

Mianzhi was very diligent every day, and Shen Yun never saw her slack off or get tired.

She can do just a little housework over and over again, and even find things to do for herself.

I rarely have any free time.

It was Shen Yun and Su Wan'er who forced her to rest.

In the past, Shen Yun only felt that this little girl was full of energy and vitality.

Now I understand that even without cultivation, my talent was already showing in other areas.

"You only need to be busy with breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day; use the rest of your time for spiritual practice."

After breakfast, Shen Yun pulled Mianzhi aside and made a three-point agreement with her.

"What should we do if the master needs a massage while he rests...?"

Cotton Branch stared at Shen Yun with almond-shaped eyes.

"You're too weak; you can't massage me properly. Wait until you advance to a higher level and gain more strength before you start massaging me."

Seeing that Mianzhi was still arguing, Shen Yun had no choice but to put on a stern face: "If you don't listen, then I'll have to send you to the Holy Sect."

"Yes, sir."

Mianzhi nodded decisively, dropped her things, and went back to cultivate.

Ten days later.

Outside the door.

The three looked at the cotton branches in the room, blending into the boundary between light and shadow, their energy emanating from their bodies, shining like rosy clouds.

With just the Blood Essence Pill, Cotton Branch successfully entered the next level.

If you focus all your attention on cultivation these next few days, your advancement speed will only be faster.

"I wish I had that kind of talent."

Xiao Ruyan was very envious; a year later, she would be fifteen years old.

Talent will determine everything.

"Talent is hard to predict, but Ruyan has excellent comprehension; she'll at least become a master of secondary cultivation!"

Su Wan'er put her arm around her and rubbed her forehead.

These days, Ruyan has been studying, and she has not only read through many of the books included in the collection, but has also started reading the pharmacopoeia that Su Wan'er bought.

After saying that, Su Wan'er looked at the cotton branches in the room, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

She glanced at her husband again, and a certain idea in her heart gradually became firm.

"Ruyan, your talent is definitely not lacking!"

Shen Yun looked at Liu Ruyan with a smile on his face.

The people around him were all incredibly talented, but fortunately, he had awakened his own talent, so he wouldn't be too far behind.

As soon as Mianzhi slowly opened her eyes in the room, a golden light flashed in her eyes and disappeared in an instant.

"Sir, I did it!"

The girl was overjoyed and her strength increased greatly.

From now on, I won't be able to fill the tank with water in one go!

Work efficiency has greatly increased. The master was right; cultivation is indeed beneficial.

Shen Yun waved his hand, "Tonight we'll open two jars of Snow Dew to celebrate Cotton Branch's advancement!"

Besides liking fried dough sticks and steamed buns, Mianzhi also fell in love with alcohol after being given it to her once by chance.

Without saying a word, Mianzhi put on an apron and went to cook as soon as she entered the class.

Although Shen Yun was rich in the past, he always lived a frugal life.

After killing Hao Rui and the other man and making a fortune, he could afford to drink spirit wine.

The three women went to the kitchen to cook, all in a lively atmosphere.

Shen Yun didn't move closer. Instead, he sat in the courtyard, took out his waist token, and started reading a new message.

It was not released by the sect, but by the auxiliary cultivation pavilion.

[One month from now, the Auxiliary Cultivation Pavilion and the Heavenly Crafting Mansion will engage in a three-stage auxiliary cultivation competition: Body Nourishment, Blood Sea, and Heavenly Palace. This competition aims to bring glory to the sect and offers generous rewards. Encourage everyone to register!]

Shen Yun was considering whether or not to participate, as the winner in the Body Nourishing Realm would be rewarded with 10,000 sect contribution points.

After much deliberation and inquiring about the eight minor skills required for the competition, which lasted for half a month to a month, he decided to give up.

If we lose, not only will we waste more than half a month, but we'll also have participated in a match for nothing.

If he wins too ostentatiously, it won't align with his preference for a low-key approach.

Because the Holy Sect wants to defeat the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace and cultivate more of its own auxiliary cultivators, and if they win, they will definitely publicize it extensively.

He had become somewhat famous because of the elderly talisman master, and he didn't dare to go to the Heavenly Craftsman's Mansion for a while.

Every word and action of his is scrutinized, and he is not treated like a strong person.

Rather, it was like looking at a rare object.

If Shen Yun participates and achieves certain results, who knows how those people will publicize it.

Then there won't be any peace and quiet.

This news spread within a small area of ​​the city, arousing the interest of the minors.

Most importantly, there is another message.

The golden beast of the demon race has been gradually igniting the Holy City these past few days.

Those who come seeking talismans always bring Shen Yun a variety of firsthand information.

On the battlefield between humans and demons, the demon race's Golden Hou alone has hunted down more than fifty human hunting teams.

Of the law enforcement team members with whom Shen Yun had established a relationship, two have been confirmed dead.

That golden beast makes its move every two or three days, and it often uses entrapment tactics to enforce the law; it is powerful and cunning.

He arrogantly declared, "There isn't a single person in the Body Nourishing Realm of the Holy City who can fight me."

"This beast will fight its way from the Nourishing Body Realm to the Blood Sea, and from the Blood Sea to the Heavenly Palace, trampling on the heads of your generation!"

It will become everyone's nightmare, making you all tremble with fear at the mere mention of it.

However, even the Holy Ancestor couldn't do anything about him.

A disciple of the Heavenly Palace Realm once secretly attempted to kill the Golden Hou, but was stopped by its protector.

The demon race then struck as well, killing one of the Holy Sect's cultivation geniuses.

Another fierce battle ensued, and after much negotiation, it was finally agreed that only duels between opponents of the same realm would be permitted.

These days, the requirements for recruiting disciples in the Holy City have changed, and have been lowered by one level.

It wasn't just the Golden Hou that caused the deaths; it was the result of a full-scale battle, and one can imagine how many people were killed or wounded.

Every day, one can see people dressed in plain clothes throughout the city.

"By blood oath! Generations shall slay demons!"

These eight characters resonate in everyone's heart at all times.

"That golden beast is too ferocious, but it's said that a team of top-tier outer sect experts has been formed to ambush it. Let's see how long that beast can remain arrogant..."

Chen Ming spoke with great enthusiasm, spitting as he spoke, and unconsciously raising his voice when he got excited.

Helpless, Shen Yun used his qi and blood to create an invisible barrier in front of him.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I got too excited. A junior sister I knew well died at the hands of that beast."

Realizing he had lost his composure, Chen Ming came to his senses, his eyes reddening.

"No one could resist drinking the blood and eating the flesh of such a beast!"

Shen Yun echoed.

I couldn't help but recall the exploding rune stone that exploded on that beast.

According to Lao Huang, although it didn't cause much damage on the surface, it was able to stop the pursuer's advance, which must have had an impact on the target.

What if we switch to premium products?

What if we further enhance it into a two-pattern rune crystal?

Could it possibly inflict even greater damage and kill it in one hit?

One is not enough for two.

Two isn't enough for three!

"Blood, right, I almost forgot about the important matter."

Chen Ming slapped his forehead, and three jars of pure demon beast blood appeared on the table. "We refined one jar on this trip, and the remaining two are what I collected."

Shen Yun nodded, and after checking that there were no problems, he finally purchased them all at the price of sixteen fine talisman stones per jar.

However, Chen Ming doesn't need so many high-quality items.

Shen Yun ultimately purchased them for two sets of high-quality attribute stones and two sets of ordinary attribute stones per jar.

This amount of runestones is not much for Shen Yun, who has a reserve of more than fifty high-quality runestones and more than one hundred ordinary runestones.

Afterwards, Shen Yun went to the Inheritance Hall with Chen Ming.

He exchanged 100 taels of blood food in one go.

Shen Yun can now consume one or two ounces of blood food every one or two days.

Relying solely on ordinary spiritual food is simply not enough to sustain daily needs.

Upon returning home, recalling the ferocity of the golden beast, Shen Yun gathered three days' worth of blessings and engraved a talisman crystal.

The moment the two-patterned bursting rune crystals formed, Shen Yun's brow twitched.

Zhenyi strongly urged him to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible, as it was far more powerful than any fine product.

However, it doesn't feel as explosive as the premium version.

It's just like a regular explosive talisman.

An extra layer of lens on the outside makes it more introverted.

However, beneath its restrained exterior lies an even more ferocious and explosive terrifying power.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Shen Yun looked at the small, fist-sized talisman crystal on the table, wondering what kind of ferocious and explosive power it contained.

Study it for a while.

Unable to suppress the instinctive fear brought about by the true meaning, Shen Yun put it into his Void Bag.

To be honest, Shen Yun didn't really have a concept of the specific power of the Exploding Runestone.

Soon, within a few days, Shen Yun learned the exact power of this thing.

Because Huang Changxing has returned.

He also brought a phantom talisman, which resembled a videotape from a past life and could record an image.

It records the scene of the explosion of the exquisite explosive talisman.

In the scene, someone is holding a phantom talisman and pointing it at a swamp.

It looks like an endless rolling hill, not surrounded by large trees, but shrouded in lush green shrubs.

In just a moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm, waveless water in front of them, and the ground began to shake.

The next moment, a huge black-armored earth dragon burst out of the mud.

Its body, several meters long, was covered with a thick layer of keratinous bone.

It was as if he was wearing heavy black armor.

"Aww!"

Its gaping maw opened wide, and it roared deafeningly toward the direction of the phantom rune.

A mouthful of sharp teeth gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"This is a demonic beast that is close to the fifth limit."

At this moment, Huang Changxing, who was standing next to Shen Yun, explained.

"Shall we test the power of the premium Burst Talisman on it? How was the effect?"

Shen Yun watched intently as the scene unfolded without blinking.

In the image displayed by the Phantom Runestone, after the Five Limits Earth Dragon appeared, several smaller, multi-layered demonic beasts followed behind it.

It's obvious this is a small team; now all the monsters in the Great Wilderness are banding together.

"You'll see when you keep watching."

Huang Changxing didn't give away any spoilers, keeping everyone in suspense.

Generally speaking, high-quality attributes can unleash a limited amount of power after being fully infused with vital energy.

The power of the high-quality explosive talisman is even stronger in an instant, and Shen Yun should be able to injure someone at the third level without any problem.

However, this is only an estimate and cannot be confirmed.

It's hard to say about the leader of the black-armored earth dragons, but they might be able to clear out the smaller fish in the surrounding area.

This is his and his.

In the scene, Huang Changxing and two other people who had reached the peak of the Body Nourishing Realm walked out. At the moment when the two sides were about to fight, they did not rush to each other immediately.

The next moment, Huang Changxing took out a high-quality explosive talisman, and the three of them joined forces to instantly pour their qi and blood into it.

The air was thick with the smell of explosions.

The black-armored earth dragon opposite panicked instantly. Sensing the terrifying power, it let out a hiss and turned to signal its minions to flee.

Several demonic beasts flashed with light and quickly released protective talismans.

However, there wasn't enough time to infuse it with qi and blood, so its power wasn't fully unleashed.

The opponent lacked sportsmanship and unleashed a powerful attack right from the start, so I had no choice but to temporarily retreat.

This is one of the drawbacks of the Bursting Runestone; it's not good at concealing its explosive aura.

Even ordinary explosive runes give people a heart-pounding feeling, let alone the high-quality ones.

Unless your opponent is stupid, you'll definitely have to avoid their sharp edge.

however.

Before it could sink into the mud, Huang Changxing and the other two had already finished instilling the power and joined forces to push it out.

The three of them simultaneously infused their body-nourishing essence into their bodies, precisely for the sake of speed.

How could they have gotten away?

The rune stone fell in front and exploded with a bang.

A deafening roar erupted.

A giant blue wave mixed with blood-red mud rose in the scene, and ice energy and blood energy swept through instantly.

The three people protected the camera and retreated dozens of meters away.

Amidst the light, the other protective runes of various colors were instantly torn to shreds like paper, unable to withstand the explosive impact.

After the energy shockwave dissipated, a crater tens or even hundreds of meters wide was blasted out on the spot.

Large amounts of mud were frozen, and the frozen limbs and claws of the earth dragon beasts could be seen everywhere.

Not far away, a huge figure was struggling to wriggle, trying to dive down.

Although the injuries he sustained were not too severe, he moved extremely stiffly and slowly.

Huang Changxing and his two companions, disregarding martial ethics, went up and took the treasure, sending it to its death.

The video stops there.

Huang Changxing excitedly added:

"Senior Brother Shen, I finally understand why the Golden Hou stopped chasing that day!"

Did you know that the greatest power of a Exploding Runestone isn't the explosion itself, but the energy shockwave that follows!

"It's impossible to refine and eliminate it in a short time, making it a lamb to the slaughter!"

"That day, the golden beast was probably hit by an energy shock and had to pause briefly to revitalize its internal energy!"

Huang Changxing was full of praise. This was the situation they discovered after killing the black-armored earth dragon and breaking into its body.

"It can even allow elemental energy to penetrate the body!"

Shen Yun was also invigorated upon hearing this.

This represents a different meaning!
