Shen Xuan didn’t think too much.
He just felt that Mu Ling’Er’s status was extraordinary, so he might as well take advantage.
She was not only from the Mu Family of True Intent Sect.
But also best friends with the Sea Dragon Girl.
And a highly esteed guest of the Chen Family on Divine Dragon Island.
With a strong protector like Zheng Ziyi.
With Mu Ling’Er in front, he can avoid many troubleso matters.
To be honest, a Foundation Establishnt Clan with average strength is of no help to him.
No need to befriend them.
The two arrived at Pill Master Zheng’s Cave Mansion.
Pill Master Zheng warmly welcod the two of them.
Shen Xuan thanked him for his advice on breaking through a minor realm.
Although Shen Xuan didn’t use it.
The intention counts.
After all, on the surface, he was a young loose cultivator who just broke through to the Foundation Establishnt Fourth Layer.
The two were excited to tour Pill Master Zheng’s Alchemy Room.
Shen Xuan used the excuse of having visited an upper-grade Alchemy Room before.
He pointed out so subtle key points in the setup of the Alchemy Room.
Which made Pill Master Zheng overjoyed.
He imdiately set up a banquet, and the three of them drank and feasted.
This ti, Mu Ling’Er learned her lesson.
She didn’t compete in drinking with Shen Xuan.
Last ti, she was quite drunk.
Fortunately, as a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, her control was strong.
She didn’t speak nonsense.
...
The Chen Family on Divine Dragon Island spread the news.
Their honored guest, Shen Fei, originally an Ice Cultivator, surpassed to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt within just over a year in the Chen Family.
When the news spread, it created quite a stir among the islands of Starsea.
Originally, there were rumors.
That Shen Fei is an Ice Technique genius Talisman Master.
Now, confird by the Chen Family.
The na of Shen Fei spread throughout the waters of Starsea.
Especially when hearing that this person was of loose cultivator origin, staying alone with the Chen Family on Divine Dragon Island.
Many cultivation forces instantly sent invitation cards, visiting personally.
So were forwarded to the Chen Family on Divine Dragon Island.
Which the Patriarch of the Chen Family politely declined.
Others, having accurate information, were sent directly to Chunfeng Island.
Chen Da Fu dared not privately hide any correspondence for honored guests.
A large stack of invitation cards was held by Bai Xiaong, completely unaware of the situation.
Shen Xuan had to invite Mu Ling’Er over.
She was quite knowledgeable, sorting the invitation cards by category.
Most only needed a simple reply, politely declined.
But so cultivation forces, with power equal to the Chen Family on Divine Dragon Island, required Shen Xuan to respond personally.
Shen Xuan found it hard to refuse, yet was unwilling to receive them one by one.
Replying with an invitation for them to attend the celebratory banquet hosted by the Chen Family for him.
A eting to discuss in detail at that ti.
In truth, at the banquet, with the Chen Family Old Ancestor present.
These cultivation forces would find it difficult to poach Shen Xuan.
"All thanks to Immortal Mu!"
Finishing the invitation replies, Shen Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
The three toughest things in life to swallow.
Facial honor, occasions, and personal interest.
Shen Xuan deeply understood.
"So how will you thank ?"
Mu Ling’Er looked at Shen Xuan with eyes like water.
"After the celebratory banquet. If Immortal Mu has any requests, feel free to speak them."
Requests are fine, whether they are granted or not depends on the situation.
Of course, Shen Xuan wouldn’t say this out loud.
If it’s just a few Ice Talismans, Shen Xuan wouldn’t bat an eye.
"We’ll talk after the celebratory banquet!"
...
Before the celebratory banquet, Shen Xuan had a private eting with the Patriarch of the Chen Family.
The Patriarch first congratulated Shen Xuan on successfully breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt.
Then inquired warmly about Shen Xuan’s living conditions.
Hearing that Shen Xuan only had one Early Stage Qi Cultivation maid.
"Master Shen is truly a model for our generation!"
"However, it’s too austere!"
The Patriarch enthusiastically recomnded several young girls from the Chen Family to serve him in daily life in Shen Xuan’s Cave Mansion.
Shen Xuan firmly refused.
He had too many secrets in his Cave Mansion.
He didn’t want the Chen Family to know.
Besides, ordinary female cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage have no allure for him.
If it’s just about handling trivial matters in the Cave Mansion.
Bai Xiaong alone is sufficient.
Seeing Shen Xuan’s firm attitude, the Patriarch didn’t insist.
Quickly, their conversation moved to the Chen Family’s talisman-making apprentices.
Originally, in the honored guest spirit contract, it was agreed that Shen Xuan would occasionally guide the Chen Family’s talisman apprentices.
Shen Xuan acknowledged this.
"Water attribute, seventeen or eighteen years old, with so basic knowledge of talismans, preferably in the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation."
Shen Xuan was not keen on guiding Immortal Seeds.
Such semi-finished products are easier to yield results.
"What if there is an Ice Attribute?"
The Patriarch asked.
Shen Xuan was taken aback.
"Does the Chen Family have Ice Attribute cultivators?"
The Ice Attribute is a special spiritual power.
One type is ford by converting Water Spiritual Power into Ice Spiritual Power.
True Master Cold Jade, Liu Bingyu, the Sea Dragon Girl, and himself are all of this kind.
Such Ice Attribute cultivators all understand the thod of transforming water into ice above the Foundation Establishnt stage.
However, there is also a special situation.
Born as an Ice Spirit Body, able to condense and wield Ice Spiritual Power.
The Patriarch was silent for a mont.
"A young Immortal Seed taken in by the Chen Family seems to have an Ice Spirit Body. However, the Chen Family has no Ice Cultivators. Even the Old Ancestor cannot determine."
This ti, it was Shen Xuan’s turn to be silent.
He had never planned to take on an apprentice.
If it truly is an innate Ice Spirit Root...
After a long contemplation, Shen Xuan finally arrived at a decision.
"Patriarch, bring her over, I’ll take a look."
"Sure!"
Hearing this, the Patriarch’s face lit up with joy.
Master Shen willing to et, there was hope.
Not long after, the Patriarch brought a thirteen-year-old girl in.
Quite tall, about 1.5 ters, with an oval small face, a slender neck, and clear eyes,
a budding beauty.
"Chen Huixue, pays respects to Master Shen."
As soon as the girl entered, she knelt down, with her whole body on the ground, kowtowing to Shen Xuan.
"Don’t call Master. Call Talisman Master Shen."
Chen Huixue looked at Patriarch Chen.
Seeing him nod slightly, she changed her form of address.
"Yes, Chen Huixue greets Talisman Master Shen."
Shen Xuan’s Divine Sense swept over Chen Huixue’s body.
He sighed softly in his heart.
Although he had not yet conducted a full inspection,
he could already sense Chen Huixue’s high affinity for Ice Spiritual Power.
"Patriarch, I need a secret chamber."
"Alright, I will arrange it imdiately."
Shen Xuan led Chen Huixue into the secret chamber.
Half an hour later.
Shen Xuan exited the secret chamber.
Behind him, Chen Huixue’s face was full of joy.
"Patriarch. I said before, I cannot accept her as a disciple."
Patriarch Chen smiled and said, "I respect Talisman Master Shen’s wishes and will not force it."
Shen Xuan nodded slowly.
If Patriarch Chen had insisted, he would have refused imdiately.
"However, since this girl t here, it is her fortune."
"What does Talisman Master Shen an?"
Shen Xuan said slowly, "Just now, I used Ice Spiritual Power to cleanse and refine her, planting a Profound Ice Spirit Seed in her Dantian."
"If she cultivates Ice Technique now, she will achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Hearing this, Patriarch Chen was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Talisman Master Shen! Huixue, rember, all your future achievents are granted by Talisman Master Shen."
Shen Xuan waved his hand, his long sleeve gently fluttering, preventing Chen Huixue from kneeling again.
"Patriarch should quickly purchase an Ice Technique inheritance for her."
"Of course."
Patriarch Chen had soone escort Chen Huixue away.
"Talisman Master Shen, how is Huixue’s Spirit Root talent?"
Shen Xuan glanced at Patriarch Chen and replied slowly, "Her born Ice Spirit Root is different from the Five Elents Spirit Root; it’s hard to asure by value."
"If all goes well and she has the resources to support her, Foundation Establishnt is within reach."
"Ah! I didn’t mishear, Foundation Establishnt is possible?"
Shen Xuan smiled without speaking.
This was tacit approval.
"Thank you, Talisman Master Shen. In the future, we will rely on your guidance!"
If Chen Huixue could beco an Ice Cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt,
It would be a great thing for the Chen Family.
In his mind, Patriarch Chen turned over many possibilities, already pondering how to win Shen Xuan over.
"If we could have his assistance, Huixue’s chances of achieving Foundation Establishnt would be even greater."
After discussing the banquet details for a while, Shen Xuan returned to Spring Wind Island.
The next day, the Chen Family ancestral hall opened wide.
In front of the Chen Family’s ancestors, Patriarch Chen personally adopted Chen Huixue as a daughter and recorded her in the family genealogy.
From then on, Chen Huixue was transford from an adopted Immortal Seed to a direct descendant of the Chen Family, holding a particularly high seniority.
A few days later.
The Chen Family held a grand banquet to celebrate Honored Guest Shen Fei breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt.
For a minor breakthrough of a small realm, even for an honored talisman master guest, it was usually a trivial matter.
The Chen Family’s ostentation initially drew ridicule.
But who would have thought?
The gates were crowded, and the hall was full of guests on the day of the event.
Renowned Cultivation Forces of the Star Sea sent representatives to attend the celebratory banquet.
Other Foundation Establishnt Realm Loose Cultivators ca in a continuous stream as well.
The Chen Family accepted all, arranging seating according to status and rank.
Surprisingly.
Even the Sea Dragon King sent envoys to attend.
Although it was Blood Bone Duo, two ordinary Foundation Establishnt Evil Cultivators,
this indicated that Shen Fei had so acquaintance with the Sea Dragon King.
Under the dual protection of Patriarch Chen and Mu Ling’Er, Shen Xuan continuously t with representatives of the Cultivation Forces who ca to celebrate.
About seventeen or eighteen families were present.
These were already sifted through.
Those with weaker power were not even qualified to et Shen Xuan.
During the banquet, Shen Xuan exchanged many pleasantries and drank a considerable amount of Spirit Wine.
He could hold his liquor well, dissolving it with Spiritual Power, feeling no intoxication.
At his side, Mu Ling’Er also drank a lot of Spirit Wine, her cheeks blushing.
So Cultivation Forces were quite powerful, causing Patriarch Chen and Mu Ling’Er to have no choice but to make friends with wine, resolving any grievances.
They wished to have a private eting with Shen Xuan.
Neither Shen Xuan nor Patriarch Chen wished to agree.
Patriarch Chen was afraid of Shen Xuan being poached.
Shen Xuan, on the other hand, had just settled in and wanted to avoid any further trouble.
Finally, the Chen Family’s ancestor ca forth personally to entertain those lands beyond the river.
Only then did Shen Xuan extricate himself, using intoxication as an excuse to return to Spring Wind Island.
What troubled him was.
Pill Master Zheng had yet to leave the gathering.
Beside him, Mu Ling’Er clearly showed signs of slight drunkenness.
Shen Xuan piloted the Flying Ship to take her to the entrance of her Cave Mansion.
At this mont, under the watery moonlight, Mu Ling’Er removed her thin veil, the wine reddening her cheeks, vibrant like blooming peach blossoms, delicate and lovely.
At this ti, Mu Ling’Er’s eyes were dreamlike, with an exceptionally captivating charm that could captivate soone.
"Talisman Master Shen, are you leaving now?"
The voice was particularly soft and alluring.
"You’re drunk, go back ho and rest well."
Shen Xuan advised.
"Didn’t you say there would be benefits for ?"
Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.
"We’ll talk when you sober up."
"No, Ling’Er wants it now!"
Mu Ling’Er pouted.
"Then..."
"Let’s continue inside!"
Mu Ling’Er activated the protective array and pulled Shen Xuan inside her Cave Mansion.
Shen Xuan felt a stir in his heart.
He followed Mu Ling’Er inside.
It was his first ti entering Mu Ling’Er’s Cave Mansion.
The path was lined with graceful pavilions, calm and serene.
The building and trees shallow, the mountain light and water reflections, corridors encircling secluded paths, akin to a paradise on earth.
Shen Xuan was led by Mu Ling’Er all the way to the door of her boudoir.
Shen Xuan stopped.
Regardless of how Mu Ling’Er exerted strength, she could not move him an inch.
"Immortal Mu, you’re drunk."
"No, I’m not drunk! Call Ling’Er!"
Mu Ling’Er gazed at Shen Xuan, reaching out a finger, gently caressing his face.
"Shen Fei, your face is truly beautiful!"
The voice was dreamy.
Before Shen Xuan could react.
Mu Ling’Er let out a soft gasp, throwing herself into Shen Xuan’s embrace.
Her soft and elastic figure instantly ignited Shen Xuan’s passion.
"Ling’Er, don’t regret it!"
"I won’t regret it!"
Mu Ling’Er’s breath quickened as she lifted her enchanting face, her eyes full of anticipation.
At this mont, her dress gradually slipped down, revealing skin as white as jade.
