Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 441: Red Sleeves Add Fragrance

Tianxian Courtyard, VIP box.

"Young lady Dingxiang, greeting senior."

Opposite him, a female cultivator around forty years old with a slender waist and apricot-shaped face, holding a mandarin duck water play pearl fan, bowed to Shen Xuan.

"I am Shen Fei, the newly appointed honored guest of the Chen Family. I just arrived here, and I hope Daoist Dingxiang will take good care of me in the future." Shen Xuan returned the courtesy with a smile.

Dingxiang is only at the Qi Cultivation Stage perfection.

Shen Xuan’s courteous return showed great respect toward her.

"Not at all! If Senior Shen needs anything, just command!"

To manage Tianxian Courtyard, one naturally has to be versatile.

Dingxiang laughed lightly, the pearl fan covering her luscious lips, showing a hint of shyness.

Shen Xuan secretly chuckled in his heart.

Apparently, Dingxiang recently ascended from being a fairy.

Her behavior still shows the typical actions of fairies.

It’s not an intentional seduction.

Currently, Shen Xuan reveals a cultivation realm of Foundation Establishment third level.

Outside, it might seem insignificant,

but on this small Divine Dragon Island, he is a top expert.

Especially in the Tianxian Courtyard of the market, an expert among experts.

Moreover, he deliberately disguised his appearance to look younger.

Handsome and elegant.

Appearing more like a young noble out for experience.

"I need intelligence on Divine Dragon Island and surrounding forces."

Shen Xuan stated his purpose.

Earlier, he took out a middle-grade spirit stone at Drunken Immortal Tower.

The seasoned attendant shared all he knew.

Unfortunately, the attendant was of too low a rank.

Only able to provide the simplest of intelligence.

Much of it was mere speculation.

The only useful piece was that the force behind Tianxian Courtyard mostly comprises female cultivators from Qingyin Sect.

Similar in some ways to Hehuan Sect.

But they follow an orthodox Daoist Sect path.

Tianxian Courtyard is merely their auxiliary business.

The fairies inside, despite their charm, are not demon cultivators, and do not practice demon techniques.

In Yan Country, Qingyin Sect is quite influential.

Only ranks below the five major sects.

It is said that Qingyin Sect has female Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Since they are engaged in the entertainment industry, it’s impossible not to deal in intelligence trade.

"Alright."

Dingxiang personally brought an Intelligence Jade Scroll.

Shen Xuan glanced at it.

With a "A" mark on it.

Probably the best and most expensive kind.

"How many spirit stones?"

"Eight hundred."

"Not too expensive!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and paid the spirit stones.

But inside, he grumbled.

The cheaper, the less quality.

Apparently, the intelligence trade here is far inferior to Hehuan Sect’s Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

However, the fairies at Tianxian Courtyard don’t practice Charm Technique, making it hard to obtain valuable core intelligence.

After all, men come here to indulge.

Still prefer those experts, with varied skills, who can make them feel celestial ecstasy.

Nothing serious is ever truly entertaining!

"Does Senior Shen want a lady to accompany him?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment, asking: "Do you have any newcomers whose face hasn’t been unveiled?"

This is industry jargon.

Unveiling to mean started performing.

"When Senior Shen requests, even if Tianxian Courtyard does not have, it must create one."

Dingxiang replied with a smiling face.

"Call them all here and let me see."

Soon.

Dingxiang brought in five beautiful fairies.

All were sixteen or seventeen, untouched maidens, faces yet to be unveiled.

Their cultivation realm was only at the early stage of Qi Cultivation.

Shen Xuan scanned them with his Divine Sense.

Casually pointed at the almond face girl in pink and yellow dress.

"You, then."

Dingxiang gestured to dismiss the others.

"Senior Shen has a discerning eye, this lady Ruyue, gentle and considerate..."

Shen Xuan interrupted Dingxiang’s praise.

"How many spirit stones?"

"Three hundred spirit stones. Lady Ruyue’s debut can’t be priced too low."

Shen Xuan took another look at Ruyue.

Her face like a crescent moon, elegantly unique. Skin fairer than snow, delicate as porcelain.

However, her complexion seemed slightly pale, her physique appeared a bit fragile, her eyes somewhat vacant and dull.

"Dingxiang, I meant the ransom price."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

"Ah!"

Dingxiang exclaimed suddenly.

Ruyue’s vacant eyes instantly brightened.

A pair of wondrous eyes peeked from behind the pearl fan, repeatedly evaluating Shen Xuan.

"Ransom? This..."

Dingxiang hesitated, "Senior Shen, the rules of Tianxian Courtyard state that ladies can’t be ransomed until they reach the right age."

"Rules are made to be broken!"

Shen Xuan snorted coldly: "Two thousand spirit stones!"

"We’ve put in a lot of effort cultivating Lady Ruyue."

"Two thousand five hundred!"

"Lady Ruyue is not for sale. Her spirit root is good, her learning talent is strong, she has great potential for the future."

"Three thousand!"

"Lady Ruyue is a double talent. She’s proficient in singing and dancing."

"Three thousand five hundred!"

"Lady Ruyue is skilled in song and dance, exceptional aptitude, likely to become part of a sect."

"Even capable of establishing Dao Foundation."

This is gilding the lily.

Also the fantasy painted by Qingyin Sect for all female cultivators at Tianxian Courtyard.

If they truly had talent, would Qingyin Sect let them out in this business?

"Four thousand!"

Dingxiang tried to speak but was stopped by Shen Xuan.

"This is the highest price. I can’t increase it further."

Shen Xuan stared at Dingxiang.

"You cultivate her to earn spirit stones. I pay it all upfront."

"Spirit stones. I have plenty. But I don’t like being taken for a fool."

The term "Yuan Tong" means a big fool.

Ding Xiang laughed awkwardly and said, "I have no objections. However, this kind of thing depends on whether the lady is willing."

As soon as the words left her mouth.

They heard Ru Yue softly say, "I am willing!"

Ding Xiang’s smile suddenly froze.

...

Inside the VIP box.

Ru Yue’s eyes sparkled, her charming gaze filled with joy.

After Shen Xuan paid the Spirit Stones, he emotionlessly sent out a wave of Spiritual Power, destroying Ru Yue’s spirit contract for selling herself.

"Elder Shen, I shall now call Old Li to come and remove the tracking mark on Ru Yue."

Ding Xiang said with a smile, putting away the Spirit Stones.

"No need!"

Shen Xuan waved his hand towards Ru Yue.

A vivid fish of Spiritual Power leaped from his palm and shot onto Ru Yue’s delicate body.

Ru Yue trembled slightly.

A wave of extremely refreshing coolness instantly enveloped her entire body.

"What a skill, Elder!"

Ding Xiang couldn’t help but praise.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so terrifying!

Effortlessly eliminated the tracking mark on Ru Yue.

"You have the time of one incense stick to pack. Any unnecessary items, either throw them away or give them away."

Shen Xuan said plainly.

"Yes."

Ru Yue deeply bowed, then turned and ran out joyfully.

No longer showing any hint of restraint.

In just the time of half an incense stick.

Ru Yue had changed into a slightly plainer white dress, washed off her makeup, only wore light makeup, and returned to the VIP room with a small bundle on her back.

"Let’s go!"

Shen Xuan stood up, taking Ru Yue, and walked out of the VIP room.

Ding Xiang led the way in front, wearing a fawning smile.

The fairies in the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, whether they were on duty or not, all looked over with faces full of surprise.

The dancing fairies also paused.

"Why is Ru Yue dressed like that, could it be, she redeemed herself?"

"Ru Yue was noticed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"

"Ru Yue is so lucky, back then, I was even prettier than her, why didn’t I encounter such a good thing!"

"Forget it, you, too, should look in the mirror!"

One bold girl shouted towards Shen Xuan: "Elder, I am willing to serve you! I have Spirit Stones, you don’t need to pay for my redemption!"

Shen Xuan’s face turned dark, and he snorted coldly.

The pressure of the Foundation Establishment was released, startling the fairies to scream and avoid.

"Stop shouting! All shut up for me! If you disturb Elder Shen, don’t expect good results!"

Ding Xiang angrily said.

The bustling Celestial Fragrance Pavilion gradually quieted down only then.

Shen Xuan took Ru Yue, just about to walk out of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion door.

A round-faced girl of sixteen or seventeen suddenly dashed out of the crowd.

"Elder, I am willing to serve you as a cow or horse!"

Shen Xuan’s eyes turned slightly cold.

This girl, he had just seen in the VIP room earlier.

Ding Xiang was furious and signaled with her eyes.

Two guards stepped forward and grabbed the round-faced girl.

"Sister Ru Yue, help your sister! We are good sisters!"

Ru Yue tightened her lips, saying nothing.

Seeing this, she was about to be dragged away by the guards.

The round-faced girl shouted loudly: "Elder, I am better than Ru Yue! Ru Yue’s body has a defect! There’s a huge scar on her back!"

Shen Xuan said nothing, staring coldly at Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang shivered.

"Why haven’t you made her shut up!"

A guard activated Spiritual Power and struck the round-faced girl at the neck, knocking her unconscious.

"Elder Shen..."

Ding Xiang forced a smile on her face.

Shen Xuan paid her no attention, and walked straight out of the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

Behind him, Ru Yue quickly followed.

...

Outside the Market of Divine Dragon Island.

Shen Xuan stopped by the lakeside.

The sunset was molten gold, the colorful clouds filling the sky.

Ru Yue stood a yard behind him.

"Don’t use the name Ru Yue from now on."

Shen Xuan looked up at the sky, lost in thought.

"Life is but a dream, see the world with drunken eyes. From now on, you will be called Bai Xiaomeng."

"Yes, I am Bai Xiaomeng."

"Stop referring to yourself as ’I am.’ Xiaomeng, it’s the ’Xiao’ of understanding, not ’small.’"

Shen Xuan turned around, gazing at Bai Xiaomeng.

"The past is the past! Now, you are the maid Bai Xiaomeng. My name is Shen Fei, the newly appointed Talisman Master honored guest of the Chen Family."

"Yes. Maid Bai Xiaomeng, greets the master."

Shen Xuan nodded.

Indeed, intelligent.

Shen Xuan didn’t redeem Bai Xiaomeng for her beauty, of course.

At his level of realm cultivation.

There are countless young and beautiful Qi Cultivation Female Cultivators willing to come to him for free.

At least, the Chen Family is quite happy with it.

However, after practicing the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method, Shen Xuan had made some progress in abstaining from desire and fear.

Moreover, with Shen Xuan’s current physique.

A Qi Cultivation Stage female cultivator couldn’t bear it either.

Unable to perform freely, there’s no point.

Shen Xuan’s goal was merely to find a maid to help manage the Cave Mansion, handle daily chores.

Such as controlling the Array of the Cave Mansion, cooking meals, taking care of the Spirit Plants, delivering and receiving messages, etc.

Choosing Bai Xiaomeng from five beauties, it was her temperament that caught his eye at first glance.

Bai Xiaomeng has a Water Spirit Root, the best talent among the five.

She’s about fifteen or sixteen points.

If Shen Xuan intervened, helping Bai Xiaomeng cleanse her meridians and bones, and used a good Creation Pill, there’s a chance to elevate her Spirit Root to Middle Grade.

A Middle Grade Water Spirit Root, taught personally by Shen Xuan.

If obedient and well-behaved, Bai Xiaomeng has some hope of Foundation Establishment.

Of course, this is something far in the future.

Shen Xuan summoned a Leaf Flying Ship, took Bai Xiaomeng aboard, left Divine Dragon Island, and flew back to Spring Wind Island.

Just reaching the Cave Mansion entrance.

Mu Ling’Er transformed into Escape Light and dashed over.

"Ling’Er is exhausted! Master Shen, the Array I arranged for you used only the finest materials."

"The price for array materials has gone up! Ling’Er lost a lot!"

Shen Xuan smiled and said: "So?"

"So, Master Shen, you need to pay more!"

Mu Ling’Er said with an attitude that seemed natural.
