Cultivation: Being Immortal

Our Discord Server: .gg/PazjBDkTmW

Central Province, Tianxian City

In the blink of an eye, Yang Luo had been in Tianxian City for a whole year. But she had no intention of leaving, and nobody wanted to rush her to go either. Just Yang Luo’s presence alone attracted a large number of advanced Talisman Makers, bringing a lot of profit to the Danxia Sect. Their spending power far surpassed that of the average cultivator at the Qi Refining and Building Foundation levels.

Yang Luo herself didn’t want to leave either. Tianxian City was located in the central region of Zhongzhou, which was already at the center of all the states. This made the location of Tianxian City exceptionally good, much better than her Holy Heavenly Sect. Naturally, she didn’t want to leave easily.

Within a year, Yang Luo became renowned throughout the world, completely replacing the influence of the Qing State and Yun State in the cultivation world. Her name was destined to be recorded in history.

And Yang Luo didn’t try to keep a low profile at all. On the contrary, she became even more high-profile. She was an all-round genius, excelling not only in talisman-making, but also in pill refining. With a 100% success rate in creating fifth-grade pills, she earned the admiration of all the fifth-grade Alchemists in the Danxia Sect.

Moreover, this was not Yang Luo’s limit. She temporarily didn’t make sixth-grade pills because of her cultivation level. Her spiritual power and mental strength couldn’t keep up, and the success rate would be very low, so she decided not to make them for now.

In the field of formations, Yang Luo also showcased her accomplishments. In her sixth month in Tianxian City, she sold a set of formation discs to the trading firms in the city. It was said to be the lost Taoist Immortal Slaughtering Formation that hadn’t been seen for tens of thousands of years. When this formation appeared, it sent shockwaves through the circle of Formation Masters. Countless Formation Masters rushed over, eager to witness the brilliance of this formation.

Some people came to Yang Luo’s residence to investigate how she made the formation. Yang Luo boasted that she found inspiration from bits and pieces of countless formation books, combined with some fragmentary references that were circulating. She successfully replicated it, and with her guidance and the help of her senior brother Yang Xiong, they refined it.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Luo engaged in discussions with the Formation Masters who had come from afar. With her profound knowledge of formations and extraordinary insights, they were all deeply impressed and respected her.

"The next door is becoming more lively."

Lin Jiang looked at the next door and said. Yang Luo’s fame has not been in vain, she has already enjoyed the first benefit, which is followers.

Over the past year, there have been countless people wanting to follow Yang Luo, but she only selected fifty to sixty people from among them. Most of them had golden cores, and half of these golden cores were sent to Holy Heavenly Sect for cultivation. The other half stayed by her side, and the remaining few were Nascent Soul/Soul Changing.

"Dad, don’t envy them. They have dozens of people living in one house, while we two only have one."

"Did I mean that?"

"Isn’t it true, Dad? You really like noise, right? Then give me money, I’ll go to Tianfang Pavilion and find a group of little fairies to make it lively, hehe."

"I don’t have that interest."

"But I do, Dad. Give me money, let me have some fun too."

"If I smash you with a fist as big as a sand pot, will you die?"

Lin Jiang raised his fist and said to Small Shadiao, who realized it was not good and quickly retreated.

Small Shadiao slipped out of the door and saw a group of little rascals waiting for him. These little rascals were quite something. They were tricked by Small Shadiao every day, yet they still waited for him to come and trick them again. They even developed Stockholm syndrome.

"Uncle Dan Dan, what are we going to play today?"

"We are going to play a wrestling match today. You six-year-olds will take the stage to compete. The loser will have to go home and pull out one of your old man’s beard hairs, but the winner, hehe, will receive a big prize. It’s a secret for now. Do you want to play?"

"Play!"

"Play!"

The several six-year-old little rascals immediately agreed. After the children of cultivators turn six, if their parents have some extra money, they will buy some medicinal herbs for them to use in bathing and also teach them some martial arts. They will also arrange for them to learn reading and writing. Now these little guys have been learning martial arts for two months, and they all think they are the best. Even without Small Shadiao’s instigation, they would fight each other.

Any random circle can be the wrestling stage. The little rascals take turns to compete, and Small Shadiao suggested that the remaining people bring out snacks and the like. Small Shadiao took out his melon seeds first, and then there were a pile of snacks in front of him.

The little rascals fell for it. When it comes to eating speed, how can they compare to Small Shadiao? Before the competition was over, Small Shadiao had finished eating everything.

"Uncle Dan Dan, I won!"

One hour later, a bruised and swollen little boy approached Small Shadiao and said.

"Okay, you won."

"What about the reward?"

"Today’s reward is taking you to Tianfang Pavilion to see the pretty sisters. Will you go?"

"Yes, I want to go."

"Ouch!"

As soon as the little boy finished speaking, Small Shadiao was hit by a stone. Then, more than ten stones flew towards him, accurately hitting Small Shadiao. It made him cover his head and run away like a scared bird.

Laughter resounded all around. Small Shadiao became a famous sight in the West City area. Many people came to watch him bully others every day. Lin Jiang also peeked out to see. The mother of the little boy who won the competition looked at Small Shadiao leaving with a grim expression.

"Taoist friend, don’t look at me like that. It’s really not something I taught."

Lin Jiang quickly explained. This gaze doesn’t seem right, are you thinking of harming someone?

"Neither the father nor the son is a good person."

The woman glared at Lin Jiang, then walked forward and twisted her son’s ear as she left.

"Taoist Friend Li, this daily show is really interesting, staying here is really worthwhile."

The neighbor also peeked out, Yang Luo smiled and said to Lin Jiang.

"Is Taoist Friend Yang also interested in watching this thing?"

"Why not watch a good show that can be watched every day for free?"

"Who said it’s free, they will start charging in the future."

"Okay, how much are you planning to charge?"

"Forget it, we’re neighbors, so no need to charge."

Lin Jiang quickly hid his smile. He couldn’t afford to offend this woman.

"Taoist Friend Li, I’m having a gathering of Talisman Makers tonight. Another Talisman Maker has perfected a new technique for making talismans. Are you interested in joining us?"

Yang Luo said. In the past year, numerous Talisman Makers have been studying her new talisman technique. Some have given up, while others are still persevering. A few have even made some progress and successfully created first and second-tier spiritual talismans. However, the progress is limited to just a few types of new spiritual talismans, so we need more sharing and communication.

"I have something to do tonight, so I am not available."

"Alright, I won’t disturb you then."

Yang Luo didn’t say much and quickly disappeared, returning to her residence deep within the estate.

Lin Jiang closed the formation and took out a spiritual talisman. It was a second-tier talisman that Lin Jiang had developed based on Yang Luo’s theories. It could be activated without the need for the Building Foundation Period and directly during the Qi Refining Period.

This spiritual charm was drawn successfully two months ago, but during these two months, Lin Jiang has failed countless times. This success seems to be the result of luck.

However, Lin Jiang didn’t give up because he found that Yang Luo’s new technique for creating charms was a great help even for traditional techniques. Over the past year, Lin Jiang’s level in the fourth level of spiritual charms has improved by leaps and bounds, and his success rate has increased significantly.

So Lin Jiang never stopped learning the new technique and never moved away from Yang Luo. Her theory was too tempting for a technical guy like him.

"Hey, isn’t this Taoist Friend Wu?"

After finishing at the Tianfang Pavilion, Small Shadiao went to the main hall and saw a cultivator. This person was a regular at the Li Cai talisman technique exchange meeting and was familiar with Lin Jiang, so Small Shadiao naturally knew him too.

"Little Li Taoist Friend, where’s your father? Why didn’t he come?"

"My father is a virtuous gentleman. He wouldn’t come to a place like this."

"Is that so?"

"Okay, I admit, my dad is old and his back is not good, so sadly he can’t come."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Small Shadiao said seriously, he swore that he was serious about this, and he really made it up seriously.

"Haha, Taoist Friend Little Li, you’re really interesting."

"Not bad, if you invite me to fight again, it will be even more interesting."

"I want to too, but I don’t have money lately."

"Taoist Friend Wu is a fifth-level Talisman Maker, how could he not have money?"

"It’s all because of that new talisman technique, I don’t want to bother with second-level spiritual talismans. I want to go straight to the fifth level. I failed more than ten times in one day, and I wasted hundreds of years of savings."

"That’s so impressive?"

Small Shadiao was shocked, this guy is a gambler, he should stay away from him because he doesn’t like people who are addicted to gambling.

"Yes, what makes me even angrier is that when I went to the shop to sell things today, those bastards didn’t recognize the value."

"What is this thing? Let me see. Xiao Li, I am also a prominent figure in the martial world. I have seen treasures worth millions, if not hundreds of thousands. Appraising a treasure is not a problem for me."

"If you want to see it, go ahead. It’s a secret technique. It has a great origin. I found it in a senior predecessor’s cave. It has a history of at least tens of thousands of years. This technique is about countering and neutralizing certain secret techniques, such as the Master-servant Contract between humans and demons. It can silently release a beast pet from its master’s control. But those appraisers at the shop said nobody wanted it. It really made me furious."

Taoist Friend Wu took out a jade scroll and said to himself, unaware that Small Shadiao’s hand was already trembling.
