Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 299 A Sudden Appearance (Please Subscribe)

At the beginning, Gu Jinqin won the first two rounds in a row.

In one of the games, it was Chen Xuanming who gave her a hard time.

Overjoyed, Gu Jinqin uttered arrogant words.

This alerted Jiang Wanli.

He was a direct disciple of Master Yuyang.

They held a prestigious position within the weapon-refining hall.

The top-ranking disciples, limited by their cultivation level and age, disdained to fight Gu Jinqin.

Jiang Wanli, who is also in the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, is the most suitable person for arena combat on Yuyang Peak.

Gu Jinqin's loss was not unjust.

Their spiritual power, consciousness, soul, and physical body were completely overwhelmed by Jiang Wanli.

What's infuriating is...

Both of them used high-grade magic weapons that were a minor realm above their own.

The Hunyuan Black Gold Hammer used by Jiang Wanli is a rare, high-grade, second-tier magic weapon of power type.

It is just right to counter Gu Jinqin's newly completed Ancient Sacred Sound Qin.

Although Jiang Wanli showed leniency.

Gu Jinqin was still beaten until she vomited blood.

There was no way; the body couldn't withstand it.

Shen Xuan was not present.

The Wu sisters watched the entire event.

This was the first time they had ever seen Jiang Wanli take action.

Especially that Hunyuan Black Gold Hammer.

Its unparalleled ferocity and immense strength left the two speechless with astonishment.

During the contest, Jiang Wanli held back.

Gu Jinqin was still unable to resist; she was only grazed before being struck and coughed up blood.

Shuiyue Residence.

After listening to Shen Wuxueting and Wu Yuting recount the events of the tournament.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Never underestimate any personal mentor!
Jiang Wanli was virtually unknown in the firsthand accounts of the master.

They're not even among the very top tier.

They all possess such strength.

"Senior brother, you must avenge Sister Jinqin!"

"The people of Yuyang Peak are truly despicable! They even dared to be so ruthless towards Sister Jinqin!"

The Wu sisters sang in unison.

They just wanted Shen Xuan to stand up for them.

"The people from Yuyang Peak are so powerful, you shouldn't provoke them!"

Shen Xuan said lightly.

Gu Jinqin has the Gu family to stand up for her.

If all else fails, there's still Master.

How stupid must he be to rush forward and challenge the disciples of Yuyang Peak?

Losing would be a devastating blow.

Winning brings no benefit, but only breeds resentment.

Why bother!
……

After the ring match.

The relationship between the disciples of Yuyang Peak and Xiaogu Peak became even more tense.

The two sides have almost stopped interacting.

Apart from necessary official business.

People from Xiaogufeng should try to avoid going to the weapon-refining hall.

The Wu sisters also stayed obediently on Xiaogu Peak, keeping Gu Jinqin company.

The injury is not serious.

It takes a few months of recuperation to recover.

However, Gu Jinqin was somewhat depressed.

The defeat in the tournament made her realize that her own strength was insufficient.

Shen Xuan has just broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Gu Jinqin had no hope for him.

Second Senior Sister Wen Luoying has just broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Against Yu Yangfeng, who is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the chances of victory are slim.

In the end, it was Senior Sister Yun Chixin who stepped in.

He engaged in a magical duel with the senior disciple of Yuyang Peak.

It is said that they fought for a day and a night without a clear winner.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

The so-called lack of a clear winner is likely because Senior Brother Yuyang Peak was letting Yun Chixin win.

Otherwise, why would a battle between cultivators take this long?
……

Practice room.

The spiritual energy is fully activated.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged, with his palms facing the sky, and closed his eyes to exercise.

The jade talisman flashed by with golden light.

[Talent: Immense Strength (Maximum) (1388/1600)]

【Daoyun: 5668】

[Spiritual Root: Water 82/100]

This is the last essence and blood of the deep-sea hook snake.

It took three months to refine it all.

It's not easy!

The water elemental root has finally been added a little.

The Daoist essence has accumulated to more than five thousand points.

Unfortunately, the "immense strength" still couldn't be pushed to perfection.

He greatly admired Jiang Wanli's Hunyuan Black Gold Hammer from the Refining Hall.

He also wanted to possess a second-tier high-grade power magic weapon.

Unfortunately, there were no high-grade second-tier magic treasures in the sect's treasure pavilion.

No matter how many contribution points you have, you can't redeem it.

"I don't know if I can withstand Jiang Wanli's strength."

Shen Xuan only pondered for a moment and did not dwell on it.

If strength isn't enough, switch to speed.

We can't put all our eggs in one basket.

When cultivators engage in magical combat, they use their strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses.

There's no need to fight to the death.

Shen Xuan activated the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique].

Waves surged again in his dantian, spiritual energy circulated through his internal organs, and his whole body radiated a faint spiritual light.

He took a deep breath.

The spiritual energy in the training room was frantically seeping into his body.

"Indeed, spiritual root aptitude determines the outcome of cultivation."

Shen Xuan sensed the effects of his enhanced spiritual root.

The higher the spiritual root aptitude, the more spiritual energy is absorbed into the body and retained, and the faster it can be refined.

In this way, the spiritual sea of ​​the Dao foundation formed becomes even more magnificent.

"He's 110 years old, and he only broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage two years ago..."

Shen Xuan made an estimate.

At his current cultivation speed, it will take him at least seven or eight years to break through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

This speed is already very fast.

It's no slower than the direct transmission of the Golden Elixir.

She far surpassed all the senior and junior sisters of Xiaogufeng.

Moreover, the technique he cultivates is the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique].

It was already on the slower side.

It has the characteristics of health preservation and therapeutic effects, and a spiritual power as vast as the sea.

His Dao Foundation and Spiritual Sea within his body are far more expansive than those of other cultivators at the same level.

This also means that his spiritual power is more abundant and purer than that of other cultivators at the same level.

Shen Xuan carefully sensed the Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea within his body.

His spiritual power was vibrant and inexhaustible.

It is completely different from other foundation building methods.

Because his spiritual power faintly emitted a bluish-green light.

It already shows a slight sign of solidifying. "It is said that after the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] is perfected, it evolves into a supernatural power, allowing one to have an indestructible body and be reborn from a drop of blood!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

If that's the case, then the ability to survive is greatly enhanced.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the battle between the Dao and the Demonic is currently raging.

In reality, it is merely a trial for the seed of Core Formation within the Daoist and Demonic sects.

Nothing.

If the Dao and the Demons truly clash, what will become of the True Man Demon Ancestor?

That was a catastrophe.

Nine out of ten Foundation Establishment cultivators would perish on the spot if they faced a True Person Demon Ancestor.

Those who managed to escape with their lives were all top geniuses, one in a hundred.

Although the situation hasn't deteriorated to that extent yet.

But Shen Xuan was unwilling to entrust his life and fortune to the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous world.

Only by becoming strong can one determine their own destiny.

The "Divine Treasure Ocean Exercise" is not a simple health-preserving exercise.

It takes itself as the ocean, nourishing the body and giving rise to vitality.

With its vast and pure spiritual power, its power is in no way inferior to the techniques personally taught by a master.

Moreover, the five internal organs transform into the five elements, and spiritual energy flows and circulates continuously.

In addition, the [Self-Healing] talent lasts for a long time.

If there is spiritual water nearby, the battle time can be extended indefinitely by using the [Water Spirit Absorption] talent skill.

When he reached the third level of Foundation Establishment, Shen Xuan was already capable of fighting against those in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Now, their strength has greatly increased.

It has a clear advantage over ordinary late-stage foundation building.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, Shen Xuan would not engage in a direct confrontation.

They are accustomed to using corpse beasts as meat shields.

He also possesses high-quality lightning talismans, high-quality poison talismans, and Yin-devouring demonic insects, among other techniques.

The key is.

Shen Xuan also has three Divine Thunder Talismans.

Two of them had been nurtured for a full fourteen years.

The other one, too, had been nurtured for nine years.

Back then, Shen Xuan used the Divine Thunder Talisman, which he had nurtured for five years, to easily blast away the projection of the god and demon.

Its power is extremely terrifying.

That's his trump card.

With Shen Xuan's current combat strength.

If he were to go all out, even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of cultivation might not be his match.

"Unfortunately, the quality of the Divine Thunder Talisman is still slightly inferior."

According to Shen Xuan's thinking, the Divine Thunder Talisman should either not be used, or if it is used, it should be used to kill with one blow.

Among his magical artifacts, the White Shield and the Purifying Water Bottle became useless.

The one that truly decided the outcome of the battle was the Azure Water Sword.

There is also the newly refined "Map of Rivers and Seas".

With his spiritual power at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, it was no easy feat to nurture both of these magical treasures simultaneously.

It can also control both of these magical treasures at the same time.

If word gets out, it will be enough to shake the sect.

Such strength is no less than that of any Golden Core disciple of the same realm in the sect.

However, Shen Xuan was not satisfied.

The Jianghai Wanshui Map requires an investment of over 600,000 spirit stones to fully refine the thousands of units of spiritual water within it.

But at this moment, he still had a newly acquired Purple Gold True Water Seal in his hand.

It is also a second-tier high-grade magic weapon.

It's still a power type.

This will perfectly make up for his shortcomings.

The problem is that refining this treasure is quite difficult.

It would take at least two or three years to refine it properly.

Moreover, Shen Xuan estimated that even if the refining was completed...

Whether he can be effectively managed is a question.

However, as a cultivator who lacks a sense of security, one will never feel that one has too many magical treasures.

By the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the power of magical artifacts can directly determine the outcome of a battle.

The more means of protection, the better.

Shen Xuan's combat prowess all stems from the demonic beast bloodline talents and skills he plundered.

The late stage of Foundation Establishment is still a long way off for him.

The most urgent task is to continue to improve our strength.

At the very least, one must be able to escape with their life from a real person.

Think of this.

Shen Xuan stood up and took out a batch of brand-new cinnabar and talisman paper from his storage bag.

These cinnabar talismans faintly emitted a soft rumbling sound.

This was the first batch of Thunder Sound Bamboo materials sent by Qianzhu Jushi.

"It's time to cultivate the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman]!"

Compared to the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman], the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] is of a higher grade and has greater power.

This also means that it requires more spiritual energy and soul to make, and is more difficult.

If it weren't for the mysterious jade talisman that added points to the Daoist aura.

It would take Shen Xuan at least ten or eight years to master this talisman.

It has the foundation of the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman].

In addition, after mastering [Thor's Wrath], one gains precise control over lightning spiritual power.

It took Shen Xuan more than two months and more than 500 talisman papers to barely get started.

[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman: Beginner (12/100)]

Looking at the ancient, golden characters displayed on the mysterious jade talisman.

Shen Xuan felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

This [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] is too difficult!
Thinking about it, it makes sense.

Don't even mention the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

Even a lower-grade [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman] is something that ordinary thunder magic cultivators cannot create.

As far as Shen Xuan knew.

Within Tianlei Peak, there is only one Golden Core disciple who can create the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

The success rate of the symbol is unknown.

But it won't be too high.

This is extremely rare within the Qingyun Sect.

Shen Xuan stared at the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] on the table.

After a moment's thought.

It was decided to add points using the Daoist rhyme scheme.

All five thousand-plus points of Daoist energy were added.

[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman: Proficient (58/200)]

Unsurprisingly.

To increase the proficiency of the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman], a large amount of Daoist Points are required.

With over 5,000 points of Daoist essence, this is the only level that can be raised.

Shen Xuan made an estimate.

The initial level is roughly 30 points of Daoist Rhyme, which advances one point at a time.

Once you've mastered it, you'll need sixty points of Daoist energy.

To reach the mastery stage, you need more than 8,000 points of Daoist essence.

This demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

"So, I underestimated the difficulty of the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] before."

"An ordinary lightning magic talisman master can only get to the basics in eight or ten years at most."

"Even if you want to reach the proficient level, it will take twenty or thirty years!"

Whether the crafting skill level is sufficient to break even on the cost of creating the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] remains to be seen.

Shen Xuan slowly digested the thunder talisman techniques and knowledge in his mind.

three days later.

He picked up the talisman brush again.

He made ten talismans in one go.

His spiritual energy was exhausted, and his soul was weary.

Two were barely successful.

After a moment's thought, Shen Xuan knew where the problem lay.
