      Chapter 16: Dao Heart: Clear Mirror, Still Water Cover
      by Sunflower Before the White Emperor's legacy appeared, a great disturbance occurred in the Suiyang Immortal Market. At that time, Chen Qianliu had not yet joined the Yu Xian Sect. Although he had heard some rumors after entering the sect, the matter did not concern him personally. Furthermore, it was a taboo topic within the sect, and disciples were forbidden from discussing it freely. As a menial disciple, how would he dare to openly defy the sect's rules?Besides, his mind was focused on cultivation, so he didn't…
    • Chapter 15: Twenty Spirit Stones, Can You Act Like You Didn’t See This, Daoist Friend? Cover
      by Sunflower Chen Qianliu slapped two "Lightness character" talismans on himself, lifted his legs, and made to leave the Suiyang Immortal Market first. His current mastery of talisman arts was catching up to his previous life. In his past life, he met Immortal Master Wuliu in his early twenties and learned the Twelve Talismans of Xuanmen. By the time his lifespan was exhausted at eighty-six, he had put sixty to seventy years of hard work into this talisman art. Now, having inherited the experience of his past…
    • Chapter 14: The Wind Pearl

      Chapter 14: The Wind Pearl Cover
      by Sunflower In his previous life, Chen Qianliu was not cut out for business. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived a bitter life relying on selling talismans. A person's choices can be corrected if given a second chance. A person's nature, however, is hard to change, even over a hundred lifetimes. Chen Qianliu sighed and thought to himself, "Whether it's low-end talismans, illuminating jade talismans, or the herbal tea and dried fruit business, even if business were booming, I'm afraid I wouldn't earn…
    • Chapter 13: A Life Unfulfilled, Fraught with Hardship, Bitterness, and Ill Fortune Cover
      by Sunflower Chen Qing leaned back in the lounge chair in the shop, her posture quite relaxed. Seeing Chen Qianliu return, the plain-faced female cultivator smiled and said, "You've made this little shop far too comfortable. If you hadn't come back, I was just about to usurp the magpie's nest and idle a while longer. Why rush to find you?" The cultivators who resided year-round in the Suiyang Immortal Market were, in fact, all quite poor and had no great prospects for cultivation. If they weren't lacking in…
    • Chapter 12: The First Block of Blue Jade

      Chapter 12: The First Block of Blue Jade Cover
      by Sunflower Even though this item had some flaws, Chen Qianliu was still extremely happy. He put his ever-present rough wooden staff, the Peach Mountain Seal, and his ink, brushes, paper, and inkstone for drawing talismans inside. He instantly felt relaxed and at ease, muttering to himself, "Now this is what a cultivator is like!" Without even a storage pouch, he had to carry all his various belongings in a bundle. How could one have the carefree and elegant demeanor of an immortal when weighed down and bloated…
    • Chapter 11: The Artisan Cultivator (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Library Adds, Investments) Cover
      by Sunflower It was just that the two were not familiar with each other, after all. Furthermore, a cultivator's appearance and age often did not match. There were plenty of people who had consumed appearance-preserving pills and whose bodies never aged. If he appeared overly eager, Chen Qing might mistake him for an old lecher disguised as a child with some strange Cao-clan-like癖好, plotting something improper, which would be terrible. Therefore, Chen Qianliu didn't say much. After exchanging a few polite…
    • Chapter 10: Spirit Stones

      Chapter 10: Spirit Stones Cover
      by Sunflower The young girl settled on a price with the old beggar, buying all the spirit stones for six thousand talisman coins. There were twenty to thirty stones in the pile, which worked out to be around two hundred talisman coins apiece. Chen Qianliu had, after all, cultivated in his previous life and knew that for unrefined raw stones, this price was fair. The old beggar's initial quote had indeed been a rip-off. The girl took out a beast-skin pouch and, after inspecting each spirit stone, placed them…
    • Chapter 9: Suiyang Immortal Market

      Chapter 9: Suiyang Immortal Market Cover
      by Sunflower Chen Qianliu searched for the better part of a day before coming across a mountain forest. The forest was dense and lush, shrouded in white mist. Gazing from afar, it was brimming with a spiritual and elegant aura. He entered the forest, leading the white deer, and after walking several hundred steps, the view suddenly opened up. Comparing it to his senior sister's descriptions from years ago, he instantly knew this was the location of the Suiyang Immortal Market. A senior expert had used a magical art…
    • Chapter 8: The Copper Drum Immortal and the Copper Drum School, One Dao Split Three Ways, Lost to the World Cover
      by Sunflower This white deer mount was just an ordinary wild deer. Although faster than a person on foot, it could only travel seventy or eighty li a day, lacking the legendary ability of an immortal's steed to travel a thousand li in a single day. Riding the white deer, Chen Qianliu traveled at a leisurely pace. When passing through mountain forests, he would gather some medicinal herbs. When passing through mortal towns, he would also do a little business. Cultivators always had ways to make money. After seven…
    • Chapter 7: The White Deer, Fur Like Snow, Treads My Peach Blossoms Across the Stone Bridge Cover
      by Sunflower Although Old Master Chen felt the sting of spending money, he at least knew his priorities. He hurriedly had someone bring out a platter of snow-white silver ingots, personally presenting it before Lingmen and bitterly pleading with him to accept it. He then quickly ordered the servants to prepare a banquet. Seeing him so attentive, Lingmen thought to himself, "I'll stay an extra day or two then, to put these villagers' minds at ease." "Besides, I also need to leave a volume of fist techniques for that…
