Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 649 - 626: Shadows of Demonic Influence

The four were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Among them, Shen Xuan was the youngest and had the lowest realm cultivation.

Su Yajing’s attitude towards him was rather intimate, often playfully teasing and laughing softly.

Anyone with eyes could see that the relationship between Su Yajing and Shen Xuan was unusual.

She was not even pretending anymore.

Shen Xuan had a smile on his face, cultured and refined, polite to everyone.

Even towards Ling Yan, he referred to her as Miss Ling Yan, showing no arrogance.

After a few rounds of Spirit Wine, everyone was enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere was lively.

Zhao Changming raised his cup and said, "It’s rare for me, Zhao, to meet someone like Fellow Daoist Shen, a dragon among men, during my many years residing in Fire Cloud City. I toast to Fellow Daoist Shen."

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are too kind. I am just a fortunate loose cultivator from outside."

The two drank their Spirit Wine together.

"If Fellow Daoist Shen needs anything, just say it. Zhao still has some face in Fire Cloud City."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhao is so kind, I happen to have a request."

Shen Xuan asked, slightly embarrassed, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhao has any magical treasures suited for me?"

"I thought it was something else!"

"Magical treasures, Zhao does have a few!"

Upon finishing, Zhao Changming laughed heartily and waved his hand.

Soon after, seven fire attribute magical treasures appeared out of thin air, floating in front of Shen Xuan.

All were fire attribute.

The appearance of the seven magical treasures drew the Spiritual Qi of the Ten Thousand Flowers House, emitting waves of fire spiritual power.

"These are all magical treasures I can’t use. Fellow Daoist Shen, feel free to choose, the price is negotiable."

Zhao Changming’s face was full of pride.

He was the direct grandson of a Golden Core True Master and a Core Formation Seed of the Fire Cloud Sect, a late-stage Fire Cultivator.

These were all fire attribute magical treasures he had used,

"Need Zhao to introduce them to you?"

"I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Zhao."

The Flying Rainbow Sword, Dragon-Binding Umbrella, Fire Dragon Shield, Flame Bottle...

Zhao Changming introduced them one by one.

Finally, Shen Xuan chose the Fiery Light Flame Saber.

The blade was forged from Crimson Flame Scaled Iron.

The surface was imprinted with nine fire dragons.

When fully activated, the nine fire dragons would fly out from the Fiery Light Flame Saber, spewing torrential and violent dragon fire, melting metal and burning everything.

This was merely a Tier Two lower-grade magical treasure, seemingly unremarkable.

The power of its blade technique depended on the fire spiritual power within the cultivator’s body.

Shen Xuan chose the Fiery Light Flame Saber for its excellent fire spiritual power conductivity of the Crimson Flame Scaled Iron.

Anyway, it was just a transitional item.

Shen Xuan did not pay directly with Spirit Stones.

Instead, he took out a water attribute defensive magical treasure he had used before, the White Deceit Shield, and handed it to Su Yajing.

After inspecting it, Su Yajing’s face showed a hint of surprise.

Subsequently, she took it silently.

This White Deceit Shield was refined from the scales of a descendant of the Divine Beast, the White Deceit Turtle.

Shen Xuan had nurtured it for many years during the Foundation Establishment Realm, enhancing it to Tier Two Upper Grade.

It not only had strong defensive properties but also came with Concealing Breath, Water Escape, and healing attributes.

It provided significant bonuses for Water Cultivators.

Shen Xuan’s action was to repay Su Yajing for her investment.

Su Yajing understood this well.

For such a high-tier defensive magical treasure, its value far exceeded that of the Fiery Light Flame Saber.

Subsequently, Su Yajing paid fifty thousand Spirit Stones to purchase Zhao Changming’s Fiery Light Flame Saber.

The three parties completed the transaction, each getting what they needed.

Neither Zhao Changming nor Xiang Tianyi knew the grade of the White Deceit Shield.

Seeing Su Yajing so straightforward, they knew its significance.

When the banquet ended, it was already late at night.

Su Yajing saw Zhao Changming and Xiang Tianyi off and returned to the private room.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, with this departure, who knows when we’ll meet again? Why not stay the night with me?"

"Tomorrow, I will escort you out of the city."

"Alright."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment, understanding Su Yajing’s intentions.

In addition to thanking him for the gift and reliving old memories,

Su Yajing escorting him out of the city personally was also to avoid trouble, using the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect’s reputation to deter petty villains.

"However, Yajing, for now, I’ve built my Dao Foundation, my fire is even stronger, I’m afraid you can’t extinguish it."

Shen Xuan said hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Su Yajing was furious.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t underestimate me. Last time, I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t perform my best, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what could happen?"

Su Yajing sat on Shen Xuan, smiling sweetly, her eyes flowing with charm.

"Otherwise, I’ll make you so soft you can’t stand up!"

Shen Xuan laughed.

"Yajing is so confident? I must witness this!"

The jade furnace, the icy bed, and mandarin duck brocade, powdery cheeks blending with fragrant sweat on a mountain pillow. The sound of the pulley outside the curtain, gathering brows containing a smile of surprise. The light shadows of willow trees, the hair ornament drops silently. Must give it one’s all, enjoying the full measure of today’s delight.

That night, the inside of Ten Thousand Flowers House was filled with spring warmth.

Su Yajing spared no effort to please, showcasing a myriad of tricks, serving Shen Xuan.

At that time, Shen Xuan did not expect Zhao Changming was struggling bitterly.

Eventually, this would stir up a great storm, dragging him into its midst, thoroughly disrupting his plans.

...

Late at night.

After parting ways with Xiang Tianyi, Zhao Changming returned home alone.

His residence was in the core area of the Inner City.

The night was deep.

In Fire Cloud Immortal City, the spiritual light was dim, and a cold wind suddenly rose.

"Shen Baiwan has built his Dao Foundation, and Su Yajing has unclear relations with him. It seems this matter requires careful planning."

Zhao Changming pondered as he walked home.

In Fire Cloud Immortal City, cultivators were forbidden from flying in the air.

Zhao Changming was no exception.

He employed the Light Body Technique, walking briskly, instantly crossing dozens of feet.

Soon he was at his doorstep.

A familiar slender figure, holding a lantern, quietly waited, her beauty exquisite, skin delicate.

It was none other than Yudie, the concubine he had just redeemed from Ten Thousand Flowers House.

"Master."

Yudie’s voice was soft and charming, stepping forward to greet him.

Zhao Changming, in a good mood, laughed heartily, reaching out to embrace her.
