Cultivation: I Have a Golden Talisman-Chapter 43: Sudden Wealth

Ye Yan had a Sixth-Layer Sensing Cultivation.

It took Fang Cheng two months, but he finally helped her refine the Profound Yin Cold Qi in her body, eliminating this hidden threat.

In the process, Ye Yan broke through the barrier to the Late Sensing Stage, reaching the Sensing Seventh Layer Realm. Her Magical Power surged as a result!

And she was only seventeen years old.

With Madam Ye, a Life Talisman Realm expert, as her mother, the path of cultivation was just that smooth.

Fang Cheng’s two-month honeymoon wasn’t without its own rewards. After switching to the Cyan Yuan Demon Tree Skill, his cultivation speed skyrocketed. He went from just entering the Fourth Layer of Sensing directly to the Fifth Layer of Sensing.

In a few more months, he could attempt to break through to the Sixth Layer of Sensing!

After joining the Ye Family, he received three bottles of Essence Supplement Pills and one hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones from the family every month for his use.

Coupled with the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from Cangwu Mountain’s Spirit Vein and the benefits of Dual Cultivation with Ye Yan, he experienced a thrill in his training like never before.

His progress with the Celestial Fire Body Forging Technique was also advancing steadily. By now, his Body Refining strength alone was comparable to that of a Late-stage Sensing Cultivator.

He had once tried to strike his own arm with the Red Feather Sword. To his surprise, it only left a few white marks...

His relationship with Ye Yan deepened daily. They were in perfect harmony, their love as sweet as honey.

When Ye Yan finished refining the Profound Yin Cold Qi, Madam Ye paid them a visit and was quite satisfied with the young couple’s situation.

Seeing Fang Cheng’s rapid progress with the Cyan Yuan Demon Tree Skill, she couldn’t help but offer a few pointers, which further deepened his understanding of the Cultivation Technique.

「In the Cave Mansion’s secret chamber.」

Fang Cheng sat cross-legged on the Jade Couch, his vital energy surging around him as Spiritual Qi swirled into a funnel above his head.

In just two short months, the Spirit-Devouring Tree outside the tower had grown to about a foot in diameter. Its crown was dense and sprawling, exuding a demonic aura that gave it a rather impressive presence.

Fang Cheng only needed to be within a few hundred yards of this tree to cultivate the Cyan Yuan Demon Tree Skill.

Therefore, he no longer needed to go under the tree, but could cultivate in quiet meditation within the secret chamber of the Cave Mansion beneath the Jade Tower.

After a long while, the surging energy around him dissipated.

Within his sea of consciousness, the Golden Talisman glowed brightly, rows of text neatly arranged upon it.

Creation Points: 0

Although he had no Creation Points, his comprehension of the Cyan Yuan Demon Tree Skill, Cyan Profound Sword Technique, and Celestial Fire Body Forging Technique continued to improve over time.

As for the three Cultivation Techniques obtained from the Dragon Elephant Wanderer, Fang Cheng hadn’t yet found the time to practice them.

He was also gradually beginning to understand that the Golden Talisman in his sea of consciousness only increased his level of comprehension for Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques.

Increasing his comprehension of a Cultivation Technique could increase his cultivation speed.

Increasing his comprehension of a Divine Technique or Sword Technique could increase his combat prowess.

Fang Cheng mused that with his current strength, if he were to fight Qian Shaoning again, he wouldn’t need to struggle so much to break through his defenses.

However, Qian Shaoning had his own fortuitous encounters. While Fang Cheng was improving, the other man was likely improving as well.

The outcome of their next meeting was still uncertain.

He was particularly worried about the other’s Taiyi Thunder Pill. Its power was simply too immense, and Fang Cheng reckoned he would have a hard time dodging it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

***

The days passed one by one, and the date of the Yinluo Sect’s trial for Outer Disciples drew ever closer.

Thanks to his connection with the Ye Family, Fang Cheng easily obtained a Trial Talisman.

On this day, Wang Xingzhi had someone deliver a letter, inviting Fang Cheng to meet at the Yinluo Sect Marketplace in three days.

Fang Cheng had been idle for some time and was feeling restless, so he immediately agreed.

He returned to the Marketplace two days early with Ye Yan, and they settled into the Spirit Wind Lane, Jia Shen No. 19 Courtyard.

For a pampered lady like Ye Yan, this was a rare experience!

In the quiet and elegant courtyard, the two of them lived like an ordinary pair of Loose Cultivator partners, getting a taste of the simple, impoverished life of the Cultivation Realm’s lower rungs.

Of course, they also experienced the... pleasures of practicing the Dual Cultivation Secret Method in the courtyard and inside the house.

Fang Cheng also packed up the things he had left in the courtyard before, planning to inform the Yinluo Sect’s Outer Disciple Law Enforcement Disciple and return the courtyard after the gathering.

Aside from that, the two of them spent their time shopping and eating their way through the Marketplace!

In one go, Ye Yan bought Fang Cheng more than twenty sets of luxurious Magical Robes, boots, and other attire, dressing him up from head to toe and spending over three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

After that, she spent another five thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones to buy him a first-grade top-quality flying sword.

The Cold Wave Radiance Sword!

This three-foot flying sword had a blade like autumn frost, its chill seeping into one’s bones. A halo of light flowed around the edge of the blade, diffusing into a dreamlike radiance. Its quality was nearly the pinnacle for a First-tier Magical Artifact.

It could even pose a certain degree of threat to the Inner Sect disciples of the Yinluo Sect!

Besides shopping, the two also visited the famous Spiritual Cuisine Restaurants in the Marketplace, trying all sorts of legendary delicacies one by one, leaving them extremely satisfied.

Unfortunately, some of the Spiritual Cuisine contained Spiritual Qi that was too potent for Sensing Stage Cultivators to refine, so they couldn’t eat those for the time being.

「Marketplace.」

「Cangshan Pavilion.」

In a private room upstairs, a middle-aged man was greeting Fang Cheng and Ye Yan with a smile.

This shop was an establishment of the Ye Family in the Marketplace, mainly dealing in the purchase and sale of all kinds of cultivation goods. Its scale was large enough to rank in the top three within the Yinluo Sect Marketplace.

The three of them sat in the private room, a cup of Spirit Tea placed before each.

"Miss, ever since you asked me to collect Dao Pattern Spirit Jade, my men have scoured almost the entire Marketplace. I can guarantee that half of all the Dao Pattern Spirit Jade in the entire Abyssal Marsh is right here."

The middle-aged man said with a cheerful laugh.

He was the second Shopkeeper of Cangshan Pavilion, with a Ninth-Layer Sensing Cultivation. Although he came from the background of a Ye Family Spirit Servant, he was highly valued by the family and was responsible for the daily operations of Cangshan Pavilion.

Ye Yan gave an elegant smile and praised, "Uncle Li is as reliable as ever."

Shopkeeper Li quickly replied with humility, "You flatter me, Miss. It is my honor to be of service to you and the Young Master."

His gaze shifted to Fang Cheng. He took an exquisite storage bag from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Young Master, please have a look."

Fang Cheng took the storage bag and swept his Divine Sense inside. Though his expression remained unchanged, his heart was turbulent.

Sixteen ornaments and pieces of jewelry carved from Dao Pattern Spirit Jade lay inside the storage bag, causing him to lose his focus for a moment.

Shopkeeper Li smiled. "This Dao Pattern Spirit Jade is useless for cultivation, so very few cultivators collect it. For now, this is all we could find."

Fang Cheng looked up. "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li. Please continue to keep an eye out for more for me."

The smile on Shopkeeper Li’s face froze for an instant. He then nodded and said, "No problem. Rest assured, Young Master. Once I’ve gathered a few more pieces, I will have someone deliver them to you on Cangwu Mountain."

He understood the meaning behind Fang Cheng’s words—this was going to be a long-term acquisition.

Fortunately, Dao Pattern Spirit Jade wasn’t very valuable. With Ye Yan and Fang Cheng’s status, handling this matter wouldn’t require alerting anyone else.

Seeing that their business was concluded, Ye Yan didn’t want to linger in the shop any longer. She rose gracefully and said, "Uncle Li, we won’t disturb you any further then."

Shopkeeper Li made a polite attempt to have them stay, but Fang Cheng and Ye Yan left Cangshan Pavilion.

A pleased expression appeared on Fang Cheng’s face. Seeing this, Ye Yan was also quite happy.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she said, as if fishing for praise, "Is my husband satisfied this time?"

Fang Cheng nodded. "Thank you, my wife. The amount of Dao Pattern Spirit Jade far exceeded my expectations."

Ye Yan giggled, leaned on Fang Cheng’s shoulder, and asked in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Then how do you plan to reward me?"

Fang Cheng smiled without a word, simply taking Ye Yan’s small hand and leading her toward their little courtyard in Spirit Wind Alley.
