Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

At this moment, she deliberately put on a shy demeanor, which felt quite out of place.

Shen Xuan didn’t believe she was truly here to charm him.

As a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator specializing in fire techniques, his mental state was steady enough that a mere Qi cultivation female cultivator couldn’t swindle him.

Noticing the impatience in Shen Xuan’s gaze, Liu Yiyun bowed respectfully again, her expression becoming serious.

"Young Master Guo, I would like to borrow some Spirit Stones from you."

Liu Yiyun raised her head, looking directly at Shen Xuan, the previous shyness in her eyes replaced by a determined look of someone staking it all.

"Borrow Spirit Stones?"

Shen Xuan almost laughed.

He found it amusing.

He initially thought Liu Yiyun was captivated by his extraordinary demeanor and looks.

But it turned out she was here to borrow Spirit Stones.

"Young Master Guo, please don’t refuse immediately."

Liu Yiyun carefully took an item out from the storage pouch at her waist.

"Yiyun has something to offer as collateral."

It was a palm-sized, translucent blood-colored jade stone, with what seemed like flowing scarlet clouds within, and it felt warm to the touch.

"What is this?"

"Dragon Blood Jade."

Liu Yiyun’s voice carried a hint of reluctance: "This is a treasure left to Yiyun by my father before he left home. Young Master, do not underestimate it, for it contains genuine essence blood of the Divine Dragon."

"Yiyun wouldn’t have brought it out unless absolutely necessary."

Shen Xuan remained noncommittal.

In this Profound Origin Realm, true spirits had long disappeared.

Where would true Divine Dragon essence blood come from?

At most, it was just essence blood from a descendant of the Divine Dragon.

Shen Xuan asked, "Why me?"

"Ah!"

Liu Yiyun opened her small cherry lips, seemingly puzzled.

"Among so many affluent guests in the Fairy Pavilion, why choose me, Guo?"

Shen Xuan repeated.

Liu Yiyun thought for a moment and softly replied, "Because Yiyun feels that Young Master Guo seems like a good person."

This answer was straightforward enough to leave one speechless.

"With this as collateral, do your elders at home know?"

"Do not worry, Young Master, this item is Yiyun’s personal possession, and she has the authority over it."

"Let me have a look."

Shen Xuan took the blood-colored jade stone and sent a wisp of divine sense into it.

In the next moment, his brow slightly arched.

This wasn’t Dragon Blood Jade.

It was Fire Flood Dragon Blood Jade.

The essence blood within it came from a Fire Flood Dragon.

The amount was minimal and of little practical use.

But the tier of the Fire Flood Dragon when it was alive was not fake.

At least Tier Three, possibly even Tier Three Upper Grade.

"What is your father’s cultivation level?"

"My father, Liu Hongwen, was at the Foundation Establishment Perfection. Over a decade ago, he left to seek opportunities for Core Formation, and hasn’t returned since."

Liu Yiyun’s voice gradually lowered.

Shen Xuan nodded, which wasn’t far from his guess.

The Liu Family should be a Core Formation family near Mingyan Immortal City.

"How much do you wish to borrow?"

"Fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

Hope ignited in Liu Yiyun’s eyes.

Shen Xuan handed the blood jade back to her.

"I’ll take my leave."

"Young Master Guo, please wait!"

Liu Yiyun said urgently, and her voice carried a pleading tone.

"Everything is negotiable!"

Shen Xuan paused but didn’t turn around.

Liu Yiyun’s eyes grew red as she looked at his back: "Thirty thousand Spirit Stones will do! This is Dragon Blood Jade, after all!"

Shen Xuan reached out, touching the door.

"Twenty thousand, no less!"

Liu Yiyun’s voice almost broke into tears.

Even the maid standing outside the door, Xiangcao, couldn’t help but plead softly: "Young Master Guo, please help my lady."

"That is not Dragon Blood Jade."

Shen Xuan finally turned around, his tone calm.

"It’s Flood Dragon Blood Jade. Blood of a Fire Flood Dragon."

Liu Yiyun paused: "Flood Dragon Blood Jade is still a rare treasure, isn’t it?"

"A few wisps of diluted Flood Dragon blood, too little of it is useful for cultivation."

Shen Xuan revealed the truth.

Seeing this, Xiangcao quietly closed the door.

Liu Yiyun seemed to have lost all strength, her voice lowering further.

"Then, in your opinion, Young Master Guo, how much is this jade worth?"

"Seven or eight hundred Spirit Stones."

These words were like a splash of cold water, and Liu Yiyun’s face turned pale in an instant, muttering: "No wonder, they all refused..."

Shen Xuan laughed inwardly.

So, in her view, he seemed like a naive newcomer with more money than sense?

It seemed she had faced rejection many times before but was still undeterred, hence she targeted him, the "fresh face."

"Why do you urgently need Spirit Stones? What for?"

Liu Yiyun’s eyes suddenly brightened: "To buy a breakthrough elixir! The body refining technique Yiyun cultivates recently sensed an opportunity to breakthrough and requires specific elixirs to aid in breaking through."

"Does your family not support you?"

Liu Yiyun’s expression darkened: "The clan elders said the body refining technique I’m cultivating has many risks during breakthrough, with a low success rate."

"If it fails, it will harm the foundation, making the gains not worth the losses."

Shen Xuan understood.

The Liu family did not support her further body refining, thinking it was not worth the risk.

"What body refining technique are you cultivating? Let me see."

Liu Yiyun was taken aback.

It’s a great taboo for cultivators to probe others’ cultivation techniques.

A hint of hesitation appeared in Liu Yiyun’s eyes.

"Guo has some understanding of body refining," Shen Xuan succinctly stated.

After hesitating for several breaths, Liu Yiyun finally took out a cyan Jade Scroll from her bosom and handed it over.

Shen Xuan scanned it with his divine sense.

[Spiritual Flood Dragon Power].

The cultivation technique emphasizes visualizing the divine presence of the Flood Dragon, mimicking its movements and stillness, and supplementing it with elixirs to refine muscles and bones and metamorphose skin and blood.

After successfully cultivating, the body becomes much more flexible and coordinated than that of ordinary people, possessing the power, resilience, and agility of a Flood Dragon.

However, this Jade Scroll is only for the early stages and can only be cultivated up to the Golden Body Realm at its peak.

"Miss Liu, demonstrate the technique for me."

Shen Xuan handed the Jade Scroll back to her.

Liu Yiyun bit her lip, raised her hand to untie the outer garment’s strap, revealing the tight-fitting inner wear, which accentuated her exquisite curves.

She hesitated no more, took a deep breath, and her body began to move like a boneless spiritual serpent.

What appeared to be slender, delicate waists, arms, legs, and feet, performed twists, folds, and stretches unimaginable to ordinary people.
