Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 183 Four Supernatural Powers

Tuoyuan's changes continued, and Fang Jingxuan observed carefully from the side. Only when Tuoyuan's condition had completely stabilized did he probe into his divine sense to check Tuoyuan's current information.

[Companion Beast: Tuoyuan, a second-tier superior-grade Xuanling Linglong Turtle, with a Foundation Establishment level 1 cultivation and an expected lifespan of 1,380 years.]

[Bloodline Progress: 145]

[Talent (Beginner): [Lightness] [Water Skill] [Return to Origin]]

[Talent (Advanced): [Sea-Suppressing Divine Power] [All Five Elements Complete]]

[Talent (Growth, Unique): [Black Tortoise Bloodline] (Size as desired)]

[Talents: [Bearing the Sea], [Yin Yang], [Suppressing Evil], [Serpent Coil]]

Looking at the completely changed attributes of Tuoyuan on the system panel, Fang Jingxuan felt a mixture of shock and elation.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Tuoyuan's strength indeed increased greatly. Even his original dragon body completely transformed into the Xuanwu bloodline after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for innate supernatural abilities, he has gained four more, and each of them looks extraordinary.

Fang Jingxuan didn't know why Tuoyuan had mutated into this form, but he figured that the scale from before must have played a very important role.

In addition, his own Moon Dew Elixir was also included, and was indispensable.

Perhaps, long-term consumption of Moon Dew Elixir has activated the most powerful bloodline within Tuoyuan's body.

After all, the source of all the spiritual turtle bloodlines in the world cannot be separated from that Xuanwu ancestor.

Now, the Xuanwu bloodline within Tuoyuan has fully manifested after absorbing the dragon blood. The original dragon blood is now compressed at Tuoyuan's tail, and it appears that Tuoyuan's tail is gradually evolving into the shape of a snake-dragon.

It is truly remarkable that Tuoyuan has evolved to such an extent. Now, Tuoyuan's value is not much less than that of Liugu.

This is because, although Tuoyuan has the bloodline of Xuanwu, his bloodline is thin, just like dragon blood and dragon seed. It still depends on the concentration of blood in his body.

Even so, Tuoyuan awakened four unique supernatural powers exclusive to Xuanwu.

After careful examination, Fang Jingxuan gained a clearer understanding of these supernatural abilities.

Among them, the [Bearing the Sea] effect allows Tuoyuan to carry ten times his own weight, and this ten times is the weight after using the [Size at Will] supernatural power.

The term "Yin Yang" refers to Tuo Yuan's ability to use supernatural techniques related to Yin and Yang, indicating a high aptitude for the power of extreme Yin and Yang.

【Suppress Evil】As the name suggests, it has an extremely high damage bonus against evil spirits, heretics, ghost cultivators, and corpse cultivators. With Tuoyuan's current combat strength, he would not be at risk of defeating a ghost cultivator in the mid-to-late Foundation Establishment stage.

As for [Serpent Coil], it is a purely defensive talent. After activating this talent, one's own defense is doubled, and when combined with the three-fold protective shield of the Sea Suppression Divine Power, that is a six-fold increase.

Unlike the Zhenhai Divine Power, which can only add protective spiritual shields, the [Serpent Coil] Divine Power strengthens all aspects, encompassing both the physical body and magical power.

Finally, Tuoyuan's body size had expanded considerably compared to when he was refining Qi. If he did not use the "Size as You Wish" supernatural power, his normal size would be eight zhang.

When fully unleashed to its maximum potential, Tuoyuan's size could expand to over thirty zhang (approximately 13 meters), an extremely exaggerated size, exceeding one hundred meters in length from front to back—the size of a cargo ship.

Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan's mind stirred. If Tuoyuan were to unleash its maximum size and combine it with the [Carry the Sea] divine power, then Tuoyuan could easily haul tens of thousands of tons of cargo at once, right? This thought flashed by, but it left a deep impression on Fang Jingxuan's mind, and he didn't know when it would resurface.

After sensing Tuoyuan's innate supernatural abilities, Fang Jingxuan took out a large amount of spiritual food and placed it in front of Tuoyuan, letting it eat heartily to replenish what it had consumed over the past few days.

Watching Tuoyuan eat with relish, Fang Jingxuan pondered in his heart, now that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and had two Foundation Establishment spirit pets with him, and each of these spirit pets was an excellent combat force, could he then act a little more high-profile?

Fang Jingxuan, who was feeling a little smug, only enjoyed his triumph for a moment before regaining his composure.

You must understand that there are always people more capable than you in the cultivation world. If you haven't reached the Golden Core stage, you should continue to keep a low profile.

Moreover, Tuoyuan and Liugu must not be known to others; these are his trump cards, and they will only be effective when used at crucial moments.

Having figured all this out, Fang Jingxuan suppressed his desire to act ostentatiously. He would only have some confidence after he had successfully condensed all seven of his Xuanming True Qi.

So, in the time that followed, Fang Jingxuan continuously condensed the Xuanming True Qi in the gourd and refined it into his own body, focusing all his efforts on cultivation.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Fang Jingxuan had no choice but to leave his secluded cultivation place. He had no choice but to leave because he didn't have enough spirit stones.

The cost of renting the cave dwelling and feeding Tuoyuan were the biggest expenses.

Now that Tuoyuan has advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, its appetite has greatly increased. In addition to the usual fish and shrimp, it also needs to be paired with valuable spirit fish to satisfy the needs of its huge body.

Since Tuoyuan had just established its foundation, Fang Jingxuan didn't dare let it hunt in the Chaotic Star Sea on its own, so he could only spend spirit stones to buy food for it.

In comparison, Liu Gu is easier to raise, but Fang Jingxuan still prefers Tuo Yuan.

Without spirit stones, everything is difficult. What should we do?
Left with no other choice, Fang Jingxuan had to end his secluded cultivation and prepare to come out and earn some spirit stones.

This time, Fang Jingxuan was no longer prepared to continue down the old path of robbing and pillaging. He had a premonition that something bad would definitely happen in this chaotic star sea.

With this thought in mind, Fang Jingxuan arrived at the Nine Leaf Workshop Wharf and joined the pack animal circle.

The layout here is similar to that of Red Leaf Village back then, both used for hauling goods and carrying cargo. However, there are very few land-based spirit beasts here, and most of the animals are sea creatures, along with many large ships.

Fang Jingxuan stepped forward and asked about the price, but because he concealed his cultivation level, the other party didn't take him seriously.

"For those going to Lingxi Island, the entire journey is 13,000 li. For each trip, if you can carry 500,000 jin of goods, you'll receive 50 mid-grade spirit stones; if you can carry 1 million jin, you'll receive 1 high-grade spirit stone, and so on."

Hearing the freight rate, Fang Jingxuan nodded in agreement. Transporting goods on the sea was indeed more profitable than transporting them on land.

Back in Hongyefang, you could only haul a few thousand kilograms at a time, but here you can easily haul hundreds of thousands of kilograms, which is a lot of money.

Fang Jingxuan calculated the carrying capacity of Tuoyuan at this time. Under ten times the load, Tuoyuan could carry two million catties at a time, which is about one thousand tons.

When it reached its largest size, Tuoyuan was about thirty zhang long and weighed about one hundred tons, which was already extremely heavy.

If you can earn two high-grade spirit stones on a trip, and if you bring back a full load of goods, wouldn't you earn four high-grade spirit stones in total?
Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan immediately rushed to the front and began to register.
