Shen Xuan first went to pay his respects to Master Cold Jade.
Evidently, Master Cold Jade had already known about this matter.
After so encouragent, he instructed Shen Xuan to first handle the relocation.
Shuiyue Residence cost eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
After only living there for two years, he had to leave, causing Shen Xuan to inevitably feel a sense of lant.
Fortunately, his ntor Master Gu Feng was understanding.
He allowed Gu Jinqin to transfer it at the original price of eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones to the minor affairs of Little Gu Feng.
Upon receiving the Spirit Stones, Shen Xuan felt a slight peace of mind.
He is now impoverished, with his Storage Pouch empty.
The River and Sea Map entirely refined thousands of types of Spirit Water, requiring six hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
And this Spirit Water, in the future, would be traded with the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon.
The Purple Gold True Water Seal, although progress is slow.
But this is a Spiritual Artifact Spirit Embryo, and Shen Xuan absolutely would not give up on it.
Every day, half an hour of sacrificial refining also consus hundreds of Spirit Stones.
If not for a Demon Beast body as huge as the Deep Water Hook Snake, even eating would be a problem.
Daily consumption of over ten catties of Tier Two Demon Beast at is not affordable for every Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
If not for the skill "Devouring All Things," refining Water Demon Spiritual Power to bolster his Spiritual Sea Dao Foundation, the cultivation of the Divine Treasure Vast Sea Technique would proceed even slower.
As for the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman, it’s still stuck at the mastery stage, close to the balance of profit and loss.
During the handover of Shuiyue Residence, Gu Jinqin continuously marveled.
This senior brother’s life is too extravagant.
"Senior Sister Gu, leave the Spirit dicine in the Spirit Plant Garden, the Yin Wood Forest in the southwest corner, and the Spirit Grass Field by the lake there."
These are all things Shen Xuan spent a fortune on.
It’s just that Cold Jade Peak’s perennial icy landscape is unsuitable for these Spirit Plants to grow.
Shen Xuan only took away the Top Grade Thunder Sound Bamboo gifted to him by Scholar Qianzhu.
"Senior Brother is so generous; Second Senior Sister would be so delighted!"
Gu Jinqin said with envy.
Both being Water Cultivators.
Upon hearing that Shen Xuan sold Shuiyue Residence to Little Gu Feng’s minor affairs.
Wen Luoying imdiately proposed to her ntor to move into Shuiyue Residence.
Each year, she would pay a symbolic rent amount to Little Gu Feng’s minor affairs account.
Currently, all six Direct Disciples of Little Gu Feng could summon thunder to refine Celestial Thunder Pearls.
Each one would beco a wealthy maiden.
And all of this was thanks to Shen Xuan.
In Shuiyue Residence, there’s not much to pack up.
Li Ruyi had already attained the sect’s Honored Guest Elder status.
Living long-term in the Yin Wood Forest of Shuiyue Residence.
He wouldn’t follow Shen Xuan to Cold Jade Peak.
Cold Jade Peak, with its perpetual icy landscape, houses only Master Cold Jade and Liu Bingyu, leaving several excellent, spiritually rich cave mansions vacant.
After reviewing them, Shen Xuan selected a cave mansion to rearrange, without creating a new one.
He gathered the Azure Sea Spiritual Clam, allowing Su Xue’Er to ride the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse to move into the new cave mansion on Cold Jade Peak together.
...
Cold Moon Pavilion.
The bright moon hung high, its light as clear as water.
Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan sat across from each other.
In front of the Jade Table were so Spirit Vegetables and Spirit Fruits.
There was also a pot of Spirit Wine.
Qin Yuehan filled a cup with Spirit Wine, raising it high towards Shen Xuan.
"Senior Brother, Yuehan toasts to you, wishing your path everlasting!"
Shen Xuan gazed deeply at Qin Yuehan.
Filling his cup with wine.
He nodded slightly to Qin Yuehan and drank it all in one go.
Such a farewell.
Though they both reside in the Cyan Cloud Sect.
The chance to et would be much less frequent.
Without special occurrences, Shen Xuan wouldn’t easily return to Little Gu Feng.
How could he not be aware of Qin Yuehan’s feelings for him?
Except, Qin Yuehan was different from the Immortal White Lotus.
He and the Immortal White Lotus shared the sa ambition.
Both knew it was just a fleeting romance, mutually consensual.
Only seeking temporary physical pleasures, experiencing the passion of Yin Yang Dual Cultivation, without discussing emotions or long-term companionship.
But Qin Yuehan was different.
What she wanted was Shen Xuan as a whole, along with all his future commitnts.
This was sothing Shen Xuan couldn’t do.
He could only feign ignorance and gradually distance himself from Qin Yuehan.
When it truly ca to this mont of separation.
He still felt sowhat sentintal.
After all, Qin Yuehan was the person he trusted most in this world.
The ties between them were also the deepest.
In the future, even if he had a chance to return, it would be difficult to have such solitary encounters.
With the Spirit Wine in his belly, two colorful flushes appeared on Qin Yuehan’s delicate face, dazzlingly pretty beyond words.
Slightly intoxicated, Qin Yuehan softly asked, "Shen Xuan, have you ever thought about finding a like-minded Dao Companion?"
Shen Xuan masked his embarrassnt by drinking.
"This Spirit Wine is quite strong."
Shen Xuan took another sip.
Indeed, it’s quite potent.
After just a cup and a half, Shen Xuan felt slightly tipsy.
"This was gifted to by the Seventh Junior Sister, called Drunken Beauty."
A serene female voice, as pleasant as a mountain stream.
"She said that as long as lovers drink this Spirit Wine, they will surely confess their true feelings."
Shen Xuan sighed softly.
This Drunken Beauty Spirit Wine is a renowned wine from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
Wu Yuting could only fool Qin Yuehan.
Soone like Shen Xuan, who has seen and experienced much, naturally knows that this Spirit Wine has a special effect.
It’s not an aphrodisiac.
But it can make one’s blood surge, making it easier to feel emotional.
The Qin Yuehan before him, like a snowy mountain jade lotus, appeared extraordinarily noble and pure.
The blush on her cheeks, rosy against her complexion, made one want to draw closer.
Unfortunately, Shen Xuan’s Dao Heart was as firm as iron.
To him, brief physical pleasures, having had multiple partners, experiencing the beauty of romance, trying countless positions, they offered limited temptation.
Any dignified beauty, once shared a joy of passion, would beco another person.
The primitive instincts of the female species, like possessiveness, demanding, suspicion, sensitivity, dependency, anxiety, and more, would all erupt.
Shen Xuan did not wish to fall into such a predicant.
"Brother Xuan, is Yuehan beautiful?"
Qin Yuehan suddenly rose, her white gauzy Immortal Skirt revealing her curves, enticing fantasies.
She walked in front of Shen Xuan, her eyes dreamy, reaching out a trembling slender hand, gently stroking Shen Xuan’s face.
"Brother Xuan, you’re still just like before, unchanged at all!"
Shen Xuan had known her for a century.
How could he not know that Qin Yuehan was using the wine as an emotional release of feelings buried for over a hundred years.
Alas.
If it were anyone else, developing a fleeting romance wouldn’t be a problem.
Sister from Little Gu Feng, an old classmate, a friend for many years.
Definitely not!
"Junior Sister Qin, you’re drunk."
Shen Xuan gently pushed away her hand.
Qin Yuehan’s gaze instantly beca complex.
On the surface, as calm as the sea.
Inside, a great storm had been stirred up.
Suppressing it with great effort.
Ready to erupt at any mont.
Shen Xuan opened his mouth.
He spat out a Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.
Carefully placed it in front of the jade table.
"Yuehan, this is a Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman nourished by my Dao Foundation Origin for ten years."
Shen Xuan gazed into Qin Yuehan’s bright eyes and spoke softly.
"Keep it well."
"The Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman is extrely powerful, do not activate it lightly unless at the brink of life and death."
"In the past, Yuehan, you have helped a lot, and I have always rembered it."
Qin Yuehan gazed at Shen Xuan.
The great storm in her heart gradually subsided.
After a while, Qin Yuehan smiled radiantly, her delicate face bright and lively.
She carefully put away the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.
"Senior Brother Shen is thoughtful."
Her voice restored its coolness.
"How powerful is this treasure talisman?"
Seeing Qin Yuehan no longer pretending to be drunk, Shen Xuan finally relaxed.
"In the Late Stage of Foundation Establishnt, it ensures death."
With these words, Qin Yuehan’s delicate body trembled slightly.
"So strong? Then hasn’t Senior Brother spent a lot of effort!"
"Yuehan cannot accept it!"
Qin Yuehan knew that Shen Xuan would not deceive her.
A Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman that can obliterate a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, its preciousness is imaginable.
"Yuehan, accept it."
"I have many other ans to protect the Dao, this Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman is not of much use to ."
"But for you, it can save your life at a critical mont."
Shen Xuan was not lying.
Though the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman was his strongest trump card.
What he gave to Qin Yuehan was the shortest aged among the three Divine Thunder Treasure Talismans.
Nourished with Dao Foundation Origin for only ten years.
The remaining two were fifteen years.
Moreover, Shen Xuan planned to use the Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branch to make the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.
The sa nourishing period, its power could at least increase four to five tis.
If the nurturing ti is long enough.
Not to ntion a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
Even a Fake Pill Master could be threatened.
Qin Yuehan did not know how strong Shen Xuan’s strength was.
But able to make Master Cold Jade face-breaking to snatch him from Master Gu Feng.
His potential must be enormous.
At least, there is hope for Core Formation.
Otherwise, Master Cold Jade would not go to such lengths.
"Yuehan thanks Senior Brother!"
Qin Yuehan returned to normal, her beautiful face dazzling, bowing in salute.
Her chest snow-white and eye-catching, undulating waves.
"What a pity!"
Shen Xuan mused to himself.
Such a beauty, yet unable to indulge wholly in enjoynt.
It’s undeniably a great regret in life.
Shen Xuan knew.
If he wished.
He could gallop that night, freely and arrogantly, displaying his prowess.
But Shen Xuan did not want to bring endless trouble for a mont of carnal pleasure.
His ambition had never changed.
To achieve longevity and enlightennt.
Compared to his long quest for Dao, Qin Yuehan was also just a passerby.
Except, the journey together was a bit longer.
"Junior Sister Qin, it’s getting late, I must return."
"Tomorrow I still have to pay respect to Master Cold Jade."
Shen Xuan took his leave.
Qin Yuehan watched his departing figure, her bright eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Shen Xuan, what do you really want!"
Qin Yuehan understood, Shen Xuan did not wish to form a Dao companion again.
"Do you really only want to focus on cultivation and seek the Dao, striving for Core Formation?"
If so, Qin Yuehan could understand.
After all, on the long road of immortal cultivation, traveling alone makes success easier.
Having family ties makes it harder to go far.
...
The next day.
At Cold Jade Peak, Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.
Master Cold Jade looked at the direct disciple she had difficulty obtaining.
Her expression remained unchanged.
Internally, she was quite satisfied.
She had inquired about Shen Xuan’s character.
Cautious and prudent, acts only after planning.
Moreover, he was broad-minded, not confined to fixed patterns, always having many whimsical ideas.
The problem was, his whimsical ideas were repeatedly proven feasible, bringing great benefits to the Sect.
Mysterious Trace True Master once suspected Shen Xuan of being the reincarnation of a grand figure.
However, he observed Shen Xuan in secret, eventually concluding that.
Shen Xuan’s heart was free of malice, his Dao heart was as firm as iron, making him a good prospect.
"Disciple Shen Xuan, pays respect to Master Cold Jade!"
"Rise."
Master Cold Jade’s voice was gentle: "I know your main cultivation technique is the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, this is a superior ancient technique stored by the sect."
"You are the direct disciple of my senior brother, joining my school now, every drink and peck, all have their own determination, do not overthink it."
"Yes, Master Cold Jade."
Shen Xuan replied respectfully.
Hearing Shen Xuan’s response, Master Cold Jade’s eyes flashed with a tinge of helplessness.
She understood that Shen Xuan referring to her as "Master Cold Jade" was to distinguish from "Master Gu Feng".
In other words, Shen Xuan always recognized Gu Feng as his master.
"What magical treasure are you using now, show it to !"
"As you command!"
Currently, Shen Xuan had several magical treasures.
The White Deceit Shield and the Water Purification Bottle were about to be phased out.
His most commonly used now was the Bishui Sword, nourished in his Dantian for fifty years, had already advanced to Tier Two Middle Grade.
"The Bishui Sword of the Bishui Sect?"
Master Cold Jade recognized it at a glance.
"I wanted to bestow you an ice attribute magical treasure. However, since you already have this sword as a Lifebound Magical Treasure, of excellent quality, it would be a pity to discard it lightly."
"In that case, allow to reforge it for you!"
Master Cold Jade opened her mouth, a powerful and extrely cold breath of pill energy spurted out, spraying onto the Bishui Sword.
The next mont.
The Bishui Sword let out a mournful sword cry, the blade trembled violently, as if wanting to break free from Master Cold Jade’s control and escape.
