Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 261 The Tumultuous World (Seeking Subscriptions)

Several days later, the White Lotus Fairy arrived at Tingyu Pavilion.

The two went wild all night, indulging themselves to the fullest.

The White Lotus Fairy did her utmost, engaging in close combat and deep exchanges with Shen Xuan.

Try different techniques.

Shen Xuan vaguely guessed that the White Lotus Fairy wanted to stay away from him for a while.

Sure enough, afterwards...

The White Lotus Fairy told Shen Xuan that she was going into seclusion to cultivate and prepare to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

This matter has already received strong support from the Zhou family patriarch.

Shen Xuan offered a few words of encouragement to the White Lotus Fairy.

He's not the kind of person who holds grudges.

I sincerely hope that Fairy Bailian will successfully break through and reach a higher level of cultivation.

The White Lotus Fairy departed with reluctance.

Before leaving, he gave Shen Xuan some instructions.

Do not easily trust those female cultivators.

Especially the fairies of Tianxiang Pavilion.

The Foundation Establishment Realm fairies there are all inner disciples of the Joyful Union Sect.

Each of them was skilled in the art of absorbing spiritual energy, and enjoyed absorbing the yang energy of cultivators.

The more beautiful a fairy is, the more likely she is to deceive people.

It's innate.

Shen Xuan smiled and gave a perfunctory reply.

Ever since I met Wu Yulan at Tianxiang Pavilion.

He then gave up the idea of ​​going to Tianxiang Pavilion to see for himself.

During the war between the Dao and the Demons, I wonder what the Hehuan Sect is up to.

Ostensibly neutral.

Behind the scenes, they are definitely siding with the five clans of Liang.

After years of spiritual practice, I have witnessed the bright path ahead and a promising future.

How could we be misled by the fairies of Tianxiang Pavilion!
After the White Lotus Fairy went into seclusion to cultivate, Tingyu Pavilion became quiet, and few guests visited.

Only Tie Wendao would come to Tingyuxuan every two or three months to report on the war in Qingyang Prefecture and to deliver spiritual herbs.

Shen Xuan devoted himself to intensive training for a year.

It was early morning.

After finishing his morning practice, Shen Xuan walked out of the training room.

He came to the top of Feiyun Mountain alone.

As the sun rises, its golden rays spread far and wide.

Various birds and beasts quietly peeked out, amidst the sounds of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

A scene brimming with vitality.

Shen Xuan stood on a boulder, facing the sky, and made a strange sound.

The next moment, an invisible sound wave emanated from his mouth.

The sound was like thunder, and as continuous as the ocean tide.

The air in front of him distorted, and the scenery became blurry.

Shen Xuan fell silent and secretly channeled his spiritual energy.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

The teeth immediately deformed and continued to extend, becoming like rows of sharp blades.

Shen Xuan took out a broken spirit shield magic weapon.

The main body should be the shell of some kind of turtle-like monster.

Gently bite down with your teeth.

The powerful spiritual shield was easily pierced by the sharp tip of Shen Xuan's teeth.

Apply slight force.

With a "crack," a piece of the spirit shield was bitten off.

Shen Xuan devoured it.

A strange spiritual power dissolved the fragments of the spirit shield.

He refined it into a wisp of spiritual power and integrated it into his own Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea.

"This small fragment of a magic weapon is worth ten catties of second-tier demon beast meat."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

However, this is normal.

The shells of turtle-like demonic beasts used to refine magical artifacts are originally the essence of their flesh and blood.

A small fragment of a magical artifact is worth far more than ten kilograms of second-tier monster meat.

"After mastering [Sharp Teeth], it can still be improved. Although [Gnawing on All Things] is only at a minor level, it can also be improved further. These two innate skills are not entirely limited by cultivation level."

"Could it be because these two talent skills are physical skills, which are more inclined towards physical attacks?"

Shen Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.

In terms of skill rank.

[Gnawing on Everything] is definitely the most advanced skill he currently possesses.

It is possible that supernatural powers will emerge in the future.

The [Ice Soul Spirit Body] and [Absolute Lightning Dao Body] are limited by their cultivation level; once the minor achievement stats are maxed out, they cannot advance to the major achievement level.

The same applies to the two techniques, 【Slaying Immortals Water Qi Technique】 and 【Ice Soul Cold Water Technique】.

These techniques and skills can only be further improved and advanced to the Great Perfection stage after breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

As for [Sharp Teeth] and [Gnawing on Everything], he can continuously improve his proficiency by using them.

It's just that adding points to the Daoist rhyme has a very poor effect.

"So, physical attack skills are easier to improve with diligent practice?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

He was a cultivator, and a member of a prestigious Daoist sect.

They actually want to secretly practice the physical attack skills of demonic beasts.

"Alas. All techniques ultimately lead to the same goal; we cannot discriminate against or look down upon physical skills!"

Shen Xuan's biggest trump card is the three Divine Thunder Talismans.

It has been proven that the longer the Divine Thunder Talisman is nurtured, the greater its power becomes.

It can reach hundreds of times the quality of a fine thunder talisman.

It is enough to threaten any Foundation Establishment cultivator.

According to Master Wuchen, after a hundred years of nurturing, it can threaten a False Core Master.

In the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, Shen Xuan used one of his weapons to deal with the projection of the True Demon.

Although I got another one after I came back.

However, after just over a year, Vaillant's performance was limited.

The remaining two Divine Thunder Talismans should not be used lightly unless it is a matter of life and death.

"Keep a low profile! Safety first!"

Only by keeping a low profile can one survive in this world of cultivation.

Previously, his actions of slapping Lei Yaoyang in the face and fighting the demonic cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect were forced by circumstances and were not out of necessity.

Even someone like He Zhengming knows to hide his strength.

They would rather watch their teammates perish or be seriously injured than reveal their full strength and fight with all their might.

"So, each and every one of them is a Best Actor or Best Actress!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself that his acting skills were not bad either.

Acting? Anyone can do that!
Let's act together!
"Husband!"

Su Xue'er rode her silver-horned celestial horse at breakneck speed.

She enjoys riding her horse every morning and evening.

"Silver Horn is getting taller and taller!"

Shen Xuan smiled and patted the neck of the Silver Horned Pegasus.

Get on your horse.

"Let's go home and have dinner!"

"Okay!" The two of them and one horse galloped off towards Tingyu Pavilion.

……

Shen Xuan's life is extremely simple now.

Cultivating oneself, eating, making talismans, sleeping.

In the following days, Shen Xuan continued his secluded cultivation.

However, the results were less than satisfactory.

"After a year of rigorous training, I'm exhausted and need to rest!"

The way of both civil and military affairs is to alternate between tension and relaxation.

It's time to take a break.

Shen Xuan is now 105 years old.

He has been stationed at Feiyun Mountain for twenty years.

"It will take about three more years to reach the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage."

Shen Xuan considered it for a moment.

"One hundred and eight years old, mid-Foundation Establishment stage, that's not slow!"

He was 85 years old when he began his foundation-building process.

Reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment in twenty-three years is considered fast.

Even a direct disciple from a sect would take about the same amount of time.

Qin Yuehan is thirty years old.

Lei Yaoyang estimated it to be more than thirty years ago.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan had mastered the skills of [Gnawing on All Things] and [Water Spirit Absorption].

While improving the quality of his cultivation, his cultivation speed was increased by more than 30%.

Otherwise, given the slow and steady nature of the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], it would be enough to keep him going for a long time.

Shen Xuan glanced at the lifespan indicated on the mysterious jade talisman, which read 238 years.

As one's cultivation level increases, there is still room for lifespan to be extended.

Moreover, [Longevity] is only the ultimate achievement.

In the future, if there is an opportunity, I will plunder the talent of another high-grade turtle-type demon beast.

Elevate [Longevity] to its peak.

When one reaches the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, a lifespan exceeding three hundred years is not a problem.

Compared to a lifespan of three hundred years.

He is only 105 years old, just over a third of the way through his life.

This is equivalent to a normal person at the age of thirty.

He was still a young man in the prime of his life.

At this time, his bodily functions did not decline.

Instead, it exhibits a vibrant, reverse-aging vitality.

"Once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I will have so many innate skills that I will not be limited to the Song Kingdom."

The Song Kingdom was merely a medium-sized country on this cultivation continent.

It is said that the states of Jin, Qin, and Zhao in the central region have even richer resources for cultivation.

Although it hasn't reached the point where "Golden Core cultivators are everywhere, while Foundation Establishment cultivators are worse than dogs."

However, the average level of cultivators there is significantly higher than that here.

"I wonder if opportunities to form the Core will be easy to find in the central region. But that's a long way off!"

Shen Xuan stopped thinking about it.

He explained things to Su Xue'er.

I'm planning to visit Yunyuan Immortal City.

There were also several old friends there, including Zhao Chunsheng, Xia Muqing, Tang Renhao, and Zhu Jintang.

I visited Ruan Siting of Bishuizong to renew our relationship.

If I have the chance, I might visit the Huang family on Silver Hook Island.

While I'm at it, I'll gather some information on second-tier water demons.

The key is the second-tier superior water demon.

Once he breaks through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and reaches the Solidification stage, he can then come and subdue the demons!

Shen Xuan left Tingyu Pavilion, summoned the Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent Corpse Beast, and rode on it.

After the Su family activated the mountain-protecting formation, they rode the clouds and flew directly to Yunyuan Immortal City.

Now, he walks extremely fast.

When Shen Xuan saw that familiar immortal city from high above, it was not yet noon.

Shen Xuan landed a hundred miles in front of Yunyuan Immortal City.

He captured the Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent Corpse Beast, changed his appearance, and concealed his aura.

I rented a fine horse-drawn carriage on the street and rode it to the city gate.

After registering as required, he politely declined the banquet invitation from the steward of the Biyue Sect and entered the city alone.

Yunyuan Immortal City remains unchanged.

It's a little worn out, but still bustling with activity.

The main street was bustling with activity, with cars and people coming and going.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, ostensibly a rogue cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, leisurely browsed and observed along the way.

He would occasionally wander into the shop to examine the cultivation items inside.

Prices are significantly higher than before, by 20% to 30%.

"It seems that the war between the Dao and the Demon has also affected the lives of cultivators in Cloud Abyss Immortal City."

Most of the cultivation items displayed in the shop are at the first level.

Having a few top-tier first-class items is already quite remarkable.

Shen Xuan looked around for a while but didn't buy anything.

When visiting an old friend, you can't go empty-handed.

But he has plenty of lightning and poison talismans.

Any few of these photos would be treasured by Zhao Chunsheng.

Following his memory, Shen Xuan arrived at Zhao Chunsheng's cultivation general store.

Upon arrival, Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

They inquired with nearby cultivators and learned that they had not gone to the wrong place.

Zhao Chunsheng's cultivation-themed general store grew bigger and bigger.

We rented the two adjacent shops together and combined them, making the space much larger.

Shen Xuan went inside and took a look.

Some of the elixirs and magical artifacts were made by Zhao Chunsheng's two sons.

"Excellent! They have all grown into high-level alchemists and high-level weapon makers!"

"Zhao Qinsheng is indeed a man who is blessed in his later years."

Seeing Shen Xuan's extraordinary demeanor, the shop assistant stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

Shen Xuan asked the shop owner to come out.

As it turned out, it was Zhao Dahu who came out.

Shen Xuan inquired briefly about the prices of several elixirs, casually bought two bottles, and then left the shop.

Zhao Dahu did not recognize Shen Xuan.

At this time, he was over fifty years old.

In Shen Xuan's opinion, Zhao Dahu, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, did not have pure enough spiritual power and was not qualified to establish a foundation.

Shen Xuan walked towards Zhao Chunsheng's house.

At a tea shop along the way, Shen Xuan unexpectedly discovered Zhao Chunsheng.

By this time, Zhao Chunsheng was completely old.

His hair was completely white, and his face was covered with wrinkles.

Shen Xuan remembered that Zhao Chunsheng was only a few years younger than him.

He's almost a hundred years old now.

His lifespan is running out.
