Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 295 Rise of the Lone Peak (Seeking Subscriptions)

That evening, Shen Xuan went to Yuehan Pavilion to inquire about information from Qin Yuehan.

The bright moon is in the sky.

Qin Yuehan and Shen Xuan sat facing each other.

"Senior brother, Master has been extremely busy these past few days."

Qin Yuehan told Shen Xuan.

The alchemy was successfully refined in the large furnace on Xiaogu Peak, and the technique was taken away by the sect.

The previous debts will be wiped clean by the sect's Spirit Pill Hall.

The large furnace for alchemy on Xiaogufeng Peak can still be preserved.

However, Xiao Gufeng will have to figure out how to obtain the necessary medicinal materials.

Lingdantang doesn't even have enough for its own use, so it's impossible for it to sell to Xiaogufeng.

Master Gufeng was not satisfied with these conditions.

They are still negotiating with the Sect Master, the Mysterious Master, and the Spirit Pill Hall's Longevity Master.

They proposed using a large furnace on a small, solitary peak to refine True Essence Pills and Spirit-Stabilizing Pills.

Shen Xuan estimated that the sect leader and the Spirit Pill Hall would not agree to Gu Feng Zhenren's request.

They will only try to make up for it in other ways.

the reason is simple.

Xiao Gufeng only needs a large furnace to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill.

The real profits are still controlled by the sects.

"Senior brother, senior sister is back. After you pay your respects to Master, take some time to visit her."

"I know, I will visit my senior sister."

The etiquette cannot be discarded.

The eldest sister, Yun Chixin, who had completed the foundation building of this lineage, returned to the sect after undergoing trials.

Shen Xuan will definitely have to take the initiative to visit him.

Look up.

Qin Yuehan's pretty face was radiant, her bright eyes filled with shyness and her red lips smiling in the bright moonlight.

Shen Xuan's heart fluttered at the sight.

We've known each other for nearly a century.

This was the first time Shen Xuan had ever seen Qin Yuehan's face up close.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now!"

Shen Xuan suppressed a certain desire and took his leave.

Now, he is determined to achieve immortality and attain enlightenment, and he takes a very detached view of romantic relationships.

I will not seek a Daoist partner again.

There's no need to delay Qin Yuehan.

Until Shen Xuan walked out of Yuehan Pavilion.

Qin Yuehan murmured softly, "Shen Xuan..."

There was an indescribable loneliness in his words.

Shen Xuan, through his [Insight Technique], heard Qin Yuehan's murmur.

But they could only pretend not to know.

In any case, tomorrow is another day.

He still had to think things through repeatedly and prepare a plan for his audience with his master.

……

The next day.

Little Lonely Peak, a blessed land.

It's only been a little over a month.

Shen Xuan had a vague feeling that his master was in a good mood.

When they met Shen Xuan, they were exceptionally enthusiastic.

"Shen Xuan, did your training trip go smoothly?"

Shen Xuan briefly recounted his experiences.

They concealed the fact that they had killed Lu Wenshang of the Beast Emperor Pavilion.

His deal with the Purple Essence Divine Tree was omitted.

Not telling Master about these two things is for Master's good.

There are some things that are better left unsaid by Master.

I heard that Shen Xuan encountered the Holy Maiden of the White Bone Sect.

Master Gufeng frowned slightly.

"The White Bone Sect's techniques are strange; you should try to stay away from them."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Xuan spoke respectfully, mentioning that he had acquired a considerable amount of medicinal herbs.

Master Gufeng was indeed quite pleased with this.

Tell him to go to Gu Jinqin and buy it at 50% above the market price.

Shen Xuan guessed that Little Lonely Peak would soon be reduced to a state where there were no medicinal herbs left to refine pills.

The Spirit Gathering Pill is a commonly used second-tier low-grade spirit pill.

Although many sects and cultivation families cultivate the main medicinal herbs for alchemy.

However, it takes time for the medicinal herb to mature.

The four main ingredients must be at least two hundred years old before they can be used in medicine.

The Qingyun Sect is already building an alchemy furnace with a capacity a hundred times greater.

The giant furnace for alchemy amplified the Qingyun Sect's needs.

From five alchemists to hundreds of alchemists.

The supply of medicinal herbs for the Gathering Spirit Pill in the vicinity is definitely insufficient.

Generally speaking, even a small shortage can trigger a surge in the price of medicinal herbs.

For an ordinary alchemist, the profit is limited.

The price increase of medicinal herbs will be within a controllable range.

It's usually only 20-30%.

If prices continue to rise, alchemists will find it unprofitable, shut down their furnaces, and the price of medicinal herbs will naturally decrease.

However, the profits from refining pills in the giant furnace of the Qingyun Sect more than doubled.

They'd be willing to acquire it even if the price increased by 50% or 60%.

It's easy to imagine that all the herbs for the Spirit Gathering Pill in the vicinity would be completely swept away.

The prices of True Essence Pills for the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and Spirit Strengthening Pills for the late-Foundation Establishment stage will also rise accordingly.

"Shen Xuan, now that you've returned to your sect, you should cultivate diligently."

“I know you are intelligent, and that is precisely why you must be even more careful.”

"Cultivators should prioritize strength and avoid provoking trouble."

Shen Xuan respectfully agreed.

He's always been someone who hates trouble.

I never provoke trouble.

It was all because others provoked him.

This trip was very rewarding.

It was enough for him to cultivate for several years.

"Rest assured, Master! Your teachings will be kept in mind."

"This disciple will remain in seclusion within the peak for cultivation and will not venture out unless necessary."

Shen Xuanxing bid farewell.

……

Afterwards, Shen Xuan went to visit his senior sister.

He prepared a gift befitting his status.

Although Shen Xuan currently has no spirit stones, he still possesses quite a few valuable cultivation items.

When Yun Chixin took charge of the general affairs of Xiaogufeng, she made a complete mess of it.

Before leaving, he borrowed 200,000 spirit stones from the general affairs department.

Shen Xuan estimated that, most likely, Yun Chixin was a person of the same kind as his master, Master Gufeng.

They only know how to cultivate, but they don't know any cultivation techniques or how to earn spirit stones.

The current atmosphere at Little Lonely Peak is a result of the corrupting influence of Lonely Peak Master and Yun Chixin.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

He took out a section of Thunder Sound Bamboo as a gift.

A second-grade superior spirit wood, worth 20,000 spirit stones, is a fair price for her.

Each of the core Foundation Establishment disciples of the Xuanzhu Sect only has one segment.

Cloud-Holding Heart Cave Abode.

Shen Xuan presented a jade box with both hands, inside which was a section of Thunder Sound Bamboo.

Considering Shen Xuan's current status, this is quite impressive. After all, he himself has only just entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"The Thunder Sound Bamboo of the Xuanzhu Sect?"

Yun Chixin took it and recognized it at a glance.

"It's a pity that it's only two hundred years old. Otherwise, Senior Sister would really be of great use."

"How many years of Thunder Sound Bamboo does Senior Sister need?"

"Junior brother, do you have a solution?"

“I am acquainted with an elder of the Xuanzhu Sect. If she intervenes, we might be able to make a deal.”

"Five hundred years is sufficient."

Shen Xuan was secretly astonished.

A five-hundred-year-old Thunder Sound Bamboo is definitely a third-tier spirit wood.

Yun Chixin immediately expressed his willingness to pay a high price to acquire it.

Shen Xuan promised to write a letter to his friend.

But he couldn't guarantee whether he could trade for a 500-year-old Thunder Sound Bamboo.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Yun Chixin shared his cultivation insights at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Shen Xuan listened with great interest.

The two are fellow disciples from the same lineage.

Shen Xuan is also the only male disciple of Xiaogu Peak.

Yun Chixin was very polite to him.

When asked about the matter of refining elixirs in a large furnace.

Shen Xuan attributed the credit to Li Ruyi, the cultivator.

He only had a fleeting, whimsical day.

The one who truly perfected the plan was Li Ruyi, a second-tier high-grade alchemist.

"Junior brother is too modest!"

"Without my junior brother's ideas, Li Ruyi would not have been able to perfect this method."

I can tell.

Yun Chixin was quite satisfied with Shen Xuan.

She stated frankly that she was devoted to spiritual practice and detached from worldly affairs.

Please take on more responsibility regarding Xiao Gufeng's affairs.

If there are any blind fools who bully the fellow disciples of Xiaogufeng.

You can simply pass the message on to her.

"Senior sister, there really is someone, and junior brother has offended him badly."

Shen Xuan briefly recounted his grievances with Lei Yaoyang.

The cause was that Lei Yaoyang wanted to force Qin Yuehan to seize her Green Wood Spirit Body as a furnace cauldron.

"Lei Yaoyang of Thunder Peak? I know him."

"Don't worry, junior brother. After he returns to the sect, I will have a good talk with him and make him apologize to you and Junior Sister Qin."

Yun Chixin said calmly.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was unaware.

Yun Xinchi's so-called "good talk".

That is, to beat Lei Yaoyang so badly that he couldn't get out of bed!
……

They successfully dealt with the two big shots from Xiao Gufeng.

Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at Shuiyue Residence, Shen Xuan began to hang up a sign that read "Secluded Cultivation".

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan first organized Lu Wenshang's storage bag.

With a little spiritual energy, the restriction on it was easily broken.

Shen Xuan opened the storage bag and felt pleased.

"As expected of a scion of a prestigious sect or family, he does have some wealth!"

Lu Wenshang's storage bag contained more than 60,000 spirit stones.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators hunting in the Shadow Forest, this is considered a lot.

In addition, there was a spaceship and many elixirs and talismans.

Shen Xuan made an estimate.

These are worth 100,000 spirit stones.

Previously, he had also seized two mid-grade magic treasures: a flying sword and a spirit shield.

After being reforged at the weapon-refining hall, it can be sold as a brand new magic weapon.

It can sell for over ten thousand spirit stones.

Therefore, killing Lu Wenshang alone would yield more than 300,000 spirit stones.

As expected, the scions of powerful sects and aristocratic families are indeed wealthier than ordinary rogue cultivators.

In addition, there are three Beast Taming Tokens.

It is used to control spirit beasts.

One used, two blank.

By simply imprisoning a wisp of a spirit beast's soul within the Beast Taming Token, one can control the spirit beast's life and death.

Beast taming cultivators typically communicate with their spirit beasts through beast taming tokens and issue commands.

The beast-taming token that was used should belong to the patrolling spirit dog.

The other two are spares.

Shen Xuan wasn't very interested in raising spirit beasts.

One silver-horned celestial horse is enough.

to him.

Instead of spending time and energy cultivating spirit beasts, it's better to directly kill high-grade demon beasts and refine them into golden-bodied corpse beasts.

The golden-bodied corpse beast is not only incredibly powerful, but it can also be used as a meat shield, standing in front without any worries.

Mythical beasts are much more precious.

In actual combat, its effectiveness is limited.

……

Next, Shen Xuan began refining the essence blood of the demon beasts.

During this trip, he obtained four portions of demonic beast blood essence.

Color-changing water lizard, four-eared long-tongued macaque, mountain patrol dog, deep-water hook snake.

Among them, the Deepwater Hook Serpent is the most valuable, a second-tier superior grade.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

First, test the essence and blood of the patrolling spirit dog.

This is a low-grade, second-tier earth-attribute spirit beast.

This was the first time he had used the jade talisman to plunder high-grade essence blood from other attributes.

After the golden light flashed...

[Plunderable Talents: Sharp Teeth, Swift Movement]

He truly possesses the bloodline talent of [Sharp Teeth]!
A hint of excitement appeared in Shen Xuan's eyes.

This time, he clashed with the Deepwater Hook Serpent.

The first use of the [Sharp Fangs] talent skill yielded unexpected results.

At this point, his sharp teeth and claws had reached their full potential.

Many monster blood essences will no longer display this talent skill.

The blood essence of the patrolling spirit dog can still be seen, which shows how strong its teeth are.

"No wonder he is a descendant of the Celestial Hound!"

Shen Xuan decisively chose [Sharp Teeth].

[Talent: Mastery of Sharp Teeth (628/1600)]

Shen Xuan did the math.

By plundering the essence of a patrolling spirit dog, the [Sharp Fangs] skill points increased by a full ten!
This is the pinnacle stage!
Normally, it takes Shen Xuan ten days to advance even one level.

"Therefore, the essence of a patrol dog can be used for three years of my skill training!"

Shen Xuan was greatly encouraged.

So it is calculated that...

With just the essence blood of a dozen or so patrolling spirit dogs, he could push [Sharp Teeth and Claws] to its perfect state.

【Daoyun: 28】

Shen Xuan rubbed his eyes.

That’s right.

Plundering the essence blood of a second-tier, low-grade earth-attribute spirit beast once only increased my Daoist points by twenty.

How little!
