Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 466: Starsea Alliance

Inside the True Intention Sect spaceship.

A yellow-robed steward climbed up from the ground, looking bewildered.

"Just now, did I faint?"

His mind was in chaos, like a paste.

"Fortunately, no one saw!"

He quickly returned to the cabin door to continue his watch duty.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, concealed in form, was calmly flying away from the True Intention Sect spaceship.

Earlier, after using [Invisibility] and [Concealing Breath], he knocked out the yellow-robed steward guarding the door, then used [Thousand Transformations] to assume his appearance and approached the cabin.

After deploying the [Insight] and [Ears Listening in All Directions] skills, Shen Xuan listened clearly to the conversation between Xu Ning Tie and the others.

During the daytime conflict.

The gaze Chen Huixue cast at him was too apparent.

Surely, Xu Ning Tie had noticed something.

If the True Intention Sect cultivators harbored ill intentions towards him.

Apologies.

He could only strike first, subduing all the cultivators in the True Intention Sect spaceship.

Then, take Chen Huixue and flee far away to find another place for secluded cultivation.

Fortunately, Xu Ning Tie still had some sense.

Puts his own interests first.

Unwilling to create additional complications that would affect fulfilling the sect mission.

Only then did Shen Xuan [Invisibility] and [Concealing Breath], awaken that yellow-robed steward, and gracefully depart.

After all, he also did not wish to commit too many killings.

Committing too many killings affects one’s dao heart and can easily lead to going astray.

...

Shen Xuan revealed his form, stated his name, and entered the Chen Family territory once more.

He went directly to Chen Huixue’s courtyard.

"Talisman Master Shen, I’m sorry."

Chen Huixue, like a child who had done something wrong, rubbed the corner of her clothes and said in a low voice.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"I... I shouldn’t have activated the Amethyst Sword Bracelet."

"If I had reported it to the clan elders, perhaps it could have been handled better."

"It wouldn’t have brought so much trouble to Talisman Master Shen and the Chen family."

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"Activating the Amethyst Sword Bracelet was not a problem."

"That person had malicious intentions. His original intention was to deceive you and offer you to a True Master Zong of the True Intention Sect."

"His lifespan is nearing its end. He wants to use your innate Ice Spirit Body, making you a furnace, to extend his longevity."

After hearing this, a blush spread over Chen Huixue’s cheeks.

She was both ashamed and angry.

At her age, she naturally understood what being a furnace meant.

"Previously, I once heard a high master say a few words. Listen well."

"Yes, Talisman Master Shen."

"To be poor with a beautiful wife, powerless with much wealth, weak with early wisdom, these are not good things."

"To be poor with a beautiful wife will attract lustful people who plot against you. To be powerless with much wealth will attract greedy people to harm you. Weak with early wisdom will attract evil people to plot against you."

"You possess an innate Ice Spirit Body and encountered me to cleanse your marrow and renew your bones, forming a Profound Ice Spirit Seed, embarking on the path of an Ice Cultivator. This may not necessarily be a blessing."

"Originally, you could live a normal yet peaceful life like other Immortal Seeds. Now, you are destined to walk a thorny path filled with danger."

"Not everyone can overcome thorns and reach the other side. Most people will fall among the thorns."

"What happened during the day is just the beginning."

"In the future, no matter what you do, don’t expect from me; you can only rely on yourself."

"Did you understand my words?"

Chen Huixue bowed deeply in salute.

"Yes, Huixue understands. In the future, no matter what happens, Huixue will not involve Talisman Master Shen."

Shen Xuan nodded.

"In the future, keep a low profile, focus on cultivation, and avoid showing yourself too much."

After speaking, Shen Xuan turned and left.

He couldn’t allow Chen Huixue to develop a dependency mentality.

Everyone needs to independently face various life challenges.

...

On the back mountain of the Chen family, next to a hundred-foot waterfall.

The Chen family elder gazed at the waterfall rushing down, lost in thought.

Beside him, the Patriarch of the Chen family stood silently.

"The integration of surrounding small and medium cultivation influences, recruiting loose cultivators, and establishing the Chen family’s expeditionary army must begin promptly."

The Chen family elder said indifferently.

"Yes, ancestor."

"You will personally lead the team. Handle what needs handling and whatever cannot be left behind, bring with you. In the clan, the old man will oversee, so there’s no need to worry."

"Ancestor, and what about that girl Chen Huixue?"

"No worries. Xu Ning Tie is a smart person. A mere Qi Cultivation Disciple, what significance does she hold compared to his grand path?"

The Chen family elder smiled and said, "Moreover, isn’t there Talisman Master Shen standing in front?"

"What I meant is that this Talisman Master Shen is not simple."

"Indeed, not simple."

The Chen family elder sighed.

"Ling’Er, that girl, got tangled up with him?"

The Patriarch of the Chen family replied, "Yes."

"Talk to Zheng Ziyi. Tell him it’s the old man’s wishes for him to bring Ling’Er back to the Mu family."

"True Master Mu is about to come out of seclusion."

"Alright! I will discuss it with Zheng Ziyi as soon as possible."

"As for Talisman Master Shen."

The Chen family elder paused.

Seemingly pondering something.

After a long while, he sighed softly, "This person is not a fish in a pond. If the old man isn’t mistaken, he is likely a Core Formation Seed from the great sect of Song Country."

The Patriarch of the Chen family’s eyes lit up.

"Ancestor means he is here planning for Core Formation? Then in the future won’t he be..."

After a moment’s hesitation, the Patriarch still voiced his thoughts, "Won’t he be the True Master of the sect?"

The Chen family elder gave the Patriarch a glance.

"If he becomes the sect’s True Master of Song Country, what has that to do with you?"

The Patriarch of the Chen family sheepishly said, "At least he is an honored guest of the Chen family, there’s always some bond."

"Build relations after he forms his Core! If out of ten Core Formation Seeds, three achieve Core Formation, it would be quite impressive. Most will end with a Fake Pill!"

Even though saying this.

The acidity in the Chen family elder’s words was evident even to the Patriarch.

After a while.

The Chen family elder made a decision, "Just provide for him! As for the future, we’ll take it one step at a time. In short, our Chen family will not shortchange him."

"Yes, ancestor is wise. Zhifang thinks the same."

After the Patriarch of the Chen family left.

The Chen family elder flicked his sleeve.

The hundred-foot waterfall came to a complete halt.

As if being supported by some force.

The Chen family elder flicked his sleeve forcefully once more.

The waterfall suddenly burst apart, water splashing in all directions.

"A waterfall cannot flow backward after all. I, in the end, have grown old!"

The Chen family elder, with a sense of disinterest, hands behind his back, walked slowly towards his dwelling like an elderly in the secular world.

...

A few days later.

Shen Xuan walked into Pill Master Zheng’s cave mansion.

"Please have some tea."

Pill Master Zheng personally poured tea for Shen Xuan.

This surprised Shen Xuan and made him feel honored.

"Senior Zheng, if you have something to say, please speak."

Pill Master Zheng smiled.

Inquiring about some alchemy questions.

Shen Xuan answered every question.

He didn’t hold the inheritance of cultivation techniques as highly as the Sect Family.

Zheng Ziyi was quite a decent person.

Although his help was of no use to Shen Xuan.

But Shen Xuan still appreciated his intentions.

Everyone was on Spring Wind Island.

Some things couldn’t be hidden from Pill Master Zheng.

The two discussed the Alchemy Dao techniques for half an hour.

Pill Master Zheng sighed deeply, "Listening to you for a moment is better than reading for ten years!"

Then, Pill Master Zheng stood up and clasped his hands in salute to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan quickly stood up and returned the gesture.

At this point, Pill Master Zheng verified his suspicion.

The Talisman Master’s understanding of the Alchemy Dao was far superior to his own.

The method of multi-sprayhead alchemy was not accidental.

It was originally intended to be taught by the other party.

"In three days, I will go out for a trip. After I return, I will seek guidance from the Talisman Master Shen again."

"Of course. If Elder Zheng has any questions, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

Pill Master Zheng spoke seriously, "Three days later at dawn, I will leave the island for a trip."

"To escort Mu Ling’Er back to the Mu Family of True Meaning Sect."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

He considered the impending war, Mu Ling’Er having to return to the Mu Family.

But he didn’t expect this day to come so swiftly. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

...

Three days later.

The peak of the tallest mountain on Spring Wind Island.

Dawn.

The sun rose.

Clouds floated like wisps.

Mu Ling’Er, unmasked, overlooked a section midway up the mountain.

That was Shen Xuan’s Cave Mansion.

No familiar silhouette ever appeared.

Mu Ling’Er felt as if she had lost something very important.

Her heart ached with sourness.

Behind her, Pill Master Zheng remained silent.

The sunrise cast rays a thousand miles long.

In the sunlight, Mu Ling’Er’s form was graceful, her pretty face radiant beyond compare.

An incense stick’s time passed waiting.

The agreed time had long since passed.

Only then did Mu Ling’Er reluctantly turn and step onto Pill Master Zheng’s Flying Ship.

"Let’s go, Elder Zheng."

"Alright!"

Pill Master Zheng drove the Flying Ship, quickly flying into the clouds and mist.

"Wait. Elder Zheng, stop for a moment."

Deep in the mist, Mu Ling’Er felt something.

She turned around and gazed intently.

A familiar figure appeared from the void, standing near the spot she was just at, waving a hand towards the Flying Ship with a smile.

No trace of fear or panic could be seen.

Graceful and composed, confident and elegant.

"Is this the true face of Shen Lang?"

Mu Ling’Er thought quietly.

He had been there all along.

He merely concealed his presence, and she never noticed.

Mu Ling’Er gazed at him for a while, dazed.

"Let’s go."

Mu Ling’Er turned decisively and spoke.

Deep feelings, shallow fates, life is like a spring dream.

Human relationships, warm and cold, only understood by oneself.

Mu Ling’Er suppressed the excitement in her heart.

A farewell today, and perhaps never again would there be a chance to meet.

That person’s image remained etched in her mind.

Unforgettable for a lifetime.

The dawn burned, reddening the nearby clouds.

"So beautiful!"

Mu Ling’Er looked at the splendid morning glow and sighed softly.

Tears quietly streamed down.

...

After seeing Mu Ling’Er off.

Shen Xuan came to Mu Ling’Er’s Cave Mansion.

The cross-dressed Sea Dragon Girl, vigorous and spirited, commanded the two Evil Cultivators, Blood Bone Twin Killers, to move personal belongings from the spaceship.

She wanted to move in and live here.

Seeing Shen Xuan approaching, the Sea Dragon Girl greeted him.

"How is it? Is Mu Ling’Er alright?"

Shen Xuan cast a sidelong glance at the Sea Dragon Girl.

"Why do I feel, with Immortal Mu leaving the island, you are very happy?"

In public, Shen Xuan referred to Mu Ling’Er as Immortal Mu.

"What are you saying! Mu Ling’Er was bound to return to Mu Family eventually."

"She certainly couldn’t stay in such a spiritually poor place forever!"

Shen Xuan remarked irritably, "So, Immortal Mu barely left, and you took over her Cave Mansion immediately. Did you get the Chen Family’s permission?"

"Does the Chen Family dare disagree?"

The Sea Dragon Girl coldly said, "Talisman Master Shen, times are different now. The entire Starry Sea has formed an alliance."

"My grandfather is the Alliance Hierarch, Patriarch Chen is merely the deputy hierarch."

"Strictly speaking, their Chen Family is my grandfather’s subordinate!"

This was said.

Shen Xuan found himself momentarily speechless.

Although the Chen Family would never heed the Sea Dragon King’s commands.

On the surface, the Starry Sea had indeed formed into a medium-sized Cultivation Influence.

Led by Sea Dragon King of Dragon King Island, with Lion King Island’s Wei Family, Autumn Moon Island’s Qiu Family, Divine Dragon Island’s Chen Family as secondary.

Every cultivator in the Starry Sea, regardless of being clan cultivators or living loose cultivators, was part of their faction.

"You’re moving here, what about Dragon King Island?"

"Grandfather arranged for trusted aides to occupy the island."

The Sea Dragon Girl glared playfully: "Talisman Master Shen, are you not welcoming my stay on Spring Wind Island?"

"Welcome."

Shen Xuan said weakly.

Originally, he thought after Pill Master Zheng and Mu Ling’Er left.

Spring Wind Island would only have him, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He wanted to plan well and rebuild Spring Wind Island anew.

Now it seemed, there was no need to do so.

With the Sea Dragon Girl moving in, Spring Wind Island would certainly not remain quiet.

Shen Xuan had just returned to his Cave Mansion.

Received a Communication Talisman from Patriarch Chen.

With the approval of the Chen Family Ancestor, Chen Huixue moved to Spring Wind Island.

"Three women make a theater, quite nice."

Mu Ling’Er had just left.

Spring Wind Island welcomed Sea Dragon Girl and Chen Huixue.

Along with the maid Bai Xiaomeng.

Shen Xuan wondered if his luck had been overly influenced by [Auspicious Star Shines] and [Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil].

Secretly prayed that the sects of Yan Country and Song Country’s war wouldn’t spread to the Starry Sea.
