"Is Fellow Daoist Chen here?"
Chen Changsheng, who had just moved into Taohuaju, was very surprised. He had only lived there for one day and someone had already come to his door?
"Yes, fellow Daoist, you are..." Chen Changsheng asked doubtfully.
"I'm Shen Lian, who lives next door to you. I heard from the manager that Taohuaju has a new owner, so I came here specially to visit!" the man said with a smile.
"It's Fellow Daoist Shen. Please come in, please come in!" Chen Changsheng said hurriedly.
"You've just arrived, and you must be busy with many things. I won't bother you any more. I'm only here to inform you that there will be a dinner party at Qingyang Palace in the evening of three days from now. Most of the Taoists living in Qingyang Palace will be in attendance. If you're interested, you might as well come along."
"At that time, many fellow Taoists will discuss Taoism together, share information and resources, and it will also help fellow Taoists make more connections. No matter what you want to do in Sanyang City in the future, you will be able to find one or two helpers!" Shen Lian said with a smile.
"The dinner in three days? Okay, I will be there then!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
"Okay, then I won't waste your time. See you in three days!" Shen Lian said with a smile.
"Thank you for telling me, fellow Daoist!" Chen Changsheng bowed.
"You're welcome!"
——————————————————
"The water in Sanyang City is probably much deeper than that of Shouyang Mountain and Lingxi Island. I've only just arrived on my first day, and already someone's noticed it?"
"Forget it, never mind. We'll deal with it in three days. The most urgent thing is to plant the Heavenly Spirit Fruit and try to ripen it!"
"Well, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is of great importance and cannot be discovered. So let's plant it directly in the training room!"
"The training room is the most private place, and it is also the safest place in the cave!"
Afterwards, Chen Changsheng carefully cleared out a small area in the training room, covered it with spiritual soil, and then planted the Tianling Fruit on it.
"It will take nearly a hundred years for it to mature, and I don't know how effective the Han family's secret technique is..."
"Hmm... let's try it first..."
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, then gently closed his eyes and opened his right hand. Strands of life force gradually gathered in his palm, finally forming a small drop of emerald green liquid...
"Ten years of life, and this is all you've managed..."
"Well, let's give it a try first!"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng dripped the small drop of liquid into the root of the Tianling Fruit, and it instantly absorbed into it.
After absorbing that small drop of spiritual liquid, the Tianling Fruit suddenly grew a little bigger, and its originally light red skin became more colorful.
"It really works... From the looks of it, it seems to have increased the effectiveness of the medicine by about ten years..."
"In other words, to ripen this Heavenly Spirit Fruit, it only takes less than a hundred years of life?"
"I made a lot of money!"
"It's only a hundred years! I still have eight hundred... no, seven hundred and forty-three years... Even if I subtract a hundred years, I still have six hundred and forty-three years, which is still longer than the lifespan of the Golden Core Ancestor..."
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng exerted all his strength and directly forced out a hundred years of his lifespan, forming a thumb-sized ball of green liquid, which he then dripped directly into the root of the Tianling Fruit.
After absorbing the liquid, the Tianling Fruit turned red almost instantly, and then fell off automatically, and was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Chen Changsheng...
"I finally got the Millennium Heavenly Spirit Fruit. Now all I need is the Golden Jade Ganoderma Lucidum. Then I can try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill myself!" Chen Changsheng's tone was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal...
Build the foundation!
He used to be so high and mighty, but now, he is so close to Chen Changsheng!
He took out a jade box and carefully put the Heavenly Spirit Fruit away. Then, Chen Changsheng saw that the Heavenly Spirit Fruit vine in the corner had actually produced another Heavenly Spirit Fruit...
However, compared to the mature Tianling Fruit, this Tianling Fruit is only the size of a thumb and is green all over. It is obvious that it still has a long time to mature.
"Good boy, this should be the result of excess vitality, right?"
"But unfortunately, one of these things is enough, no more is needed..."
"But this thing still has value. Whether it is a sect or a family force, they should all be interested in it..." Chen Changsheng couldn't help but smile and said to himself.
Sects and family forces value inheritance. No matter how long it takes for something to mature, future generations will always be able to wait.
However, for Chen Changsheng, this thing is useless. If there is a chance in the future, he probably can use it for trading...
Three days passed quickly. Chen Changsheng had been busy during these days, getting familiar with Sanyang City.
This place is indeed much larger than the market on Lingxi Island, and there are also abundant supplies.
He was able to replenish the missing formation flags with four sets at once, and even bought another thunder seed.
Unfortunately, talismans are indeed rare. Not only can they be found in shops, but even in auction houses, they can only be seen a handful of times. It's even more rare than foundation-building pills...
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you're here. Haha, drive over here!" Shen Lian saw Chen Changsheng rushing over to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist Shen!" Chen Changsheng bowed.
"Everyone, let me introduce to you, Fellow Daoist Chen Chong, the owner of Taohuaju, our new neighbor, and also a top-grade first-class talisman maker. Welcome everyone!" Shen Lian said with a smile.
"A top-grade first-class talisman maker? Wow, he's quite wealthy. No wonder he can afford to rent Taohuaju!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm Tao Ming. I live in Tianranju, not far from you. I'm also a talisman maker. We can learn from each other more in the future!"
"Haha, I'm Ma Tao, from the Hedong Ma family. I'm at the ninth level of Qi training. Fellow Daoist Chen, are you interested in joining my Hedong Ma family?"
“…”
Immediately, more than ten monks came forward and tried to strike up a conversation or make acquaintance.
Chen Changsheng was not stage-shy either. When he was on Lingxi Island, he went out to make friends quite a lot in order to get close to people. After a conversation, he could make almost everyone feel at home!
The so-called dinner party was just to make acquaintances. Gradually, Chen Changsheng also became familiar with the other people in the yard.
Half a month later...
"Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Shen Lian suddenly and mysteriously approached Chen Changsheng...
"Fellow Daoist Shen? What's the matter?" Chen Changsheng asked in surprise.
"Does Fellow Daoist Chen have anything to do recently?" Shen Lian asked.
"It's nothing, just practicing and drawing some talismans!" said Chen Changsheng.
"If you have nothing to do, Fellow Daoist Chen, could you please go with me to explore a cave dwelling of the ancestors?" Shen Lian asked cautiously.
"What? The cave of the predecessors?" Chen Changsheng asked in surprise.
There are many adventures in the world of cultivating immortals, and many independent cultivators achieve their success unintentionally, such as Chen Changsheng himself.
However, since entering the world of immortal cultivation, Chen Changsheng has never encountered such a thing as a strange adventure...
"Yes, it is the residence of the legendary second-level talisman maker, Master Mingliang!" Shen Lian nodded.
"Master Mingliang? I have heard of this person. He is not only a talisman maker, but also a formation master..." Chen Changsheng couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, it's this person. I accidentally got a clue about the cave of Mingliang Zhenren, so I came here specifically to invite fellow Taoists to hunt for treasure together!"
"The second-level formation-breaking talisman that Master Mingliang drew back then would cause a frenzy of scramble every time it came out. I wonder how much wealth he accumulated. And since he has no descendants or disciples, all the wealth he obtained must be in his cave!"
"If you join me on this adventure, I'll give you 30% of the money. This much wealth is probably enough to buy Foundation Establishment Pills!"
Looking at Shen Lian's serious introduction, two words emerged in Chen Changsheng's mind - Northern Myanmar!
