Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 313 Flying Talisman Spirit Array (Seeking Subscriptions)

The days passed by.

Three months passed by in a flash.

【Disguise: Proficient (8/100)】

Shen Xuan tried it.

After using the [Color Change Camouflage] skill, the body can blend into the surrounding environment.

Combined with the [Concealing Breath Technique], it can be somewhat useful in deep water.

In normal environments, it is basically useless.

It's not as good as [Invisibility].

Fortunately, it consumes little spiritual energy and increases skill proficiency points quickly.

【Daoyun: 1128】

After a moment's thought, Shen Xuan added all his Daoist points to the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman: Proficient (128/200)]

So slow!

Shen Xuan thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Now that Shen Xuan has a share of the Thunder Spirit Pearl's profits, he no longer needs to rely on the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] to earn spirit stones.

However, the power of the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] far surpasses that of the Thunder Spirit Pearl.

Furthermore, mastering the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] is a prerequisite for creating the corresponding Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.

Now, he possesses the Ice Soul Sword refined by Master Hanyu and the River and Sea Map bestowed by Master Gufeng, greatly increasing his strength.

In theory, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those at the peak of Foundation Establishment, would be no match for him.

However, the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] remains his top choice as his trump card.

the reason is simple.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman possesses immense power. If nurtured for a sufficiently long period, it can be used to directly confront a False Core Immortal.

There are three things to consider in life: danger, change, and retreat.

Shen Xuan kept this in mind.

We will absolutely not let our guard down just because our combat strength has improved.

Below a true master, all are but ants.

Let's look at the main focus of my recent practice.

【Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique: Beginner (20/100)】

Based on this calculation, it would take approximately one year to advance the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique] to the level of proficiency.

This speed isn't slow.

[Talent: Beginner Level of Size Control (32/100)]

The progress on [Size Ruyi] should be a little faster.

It will probably take about a year to advance.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the skill proficiency will increase more and more slowly as you progress, whether it is the [Dongzhen Bingxin Jue] or the [Da Xiao Ruyi].

"Therefore, I not only need the blood of the water fairy, but also high-grade blood, at least second-tier superior blood."

Refining the blood of a water fairy requires time and effort.

For him, second-tier low-grade water spirits, such as chameleon water lizards, offer too little benefit.

However, second-tier high-grade demonic beasts are not so easy to hunt.

This kind of monster has a strong physical body and a powerful bloodline talent, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

For example, the Thunder Beast lives in the Thunder Swamp and is a social beast; there is a possibility that a near-third-tier demon king may appear in its group.

Shen Xuan had specific information about the Thunder Beast's territory, but he had not yet made up his mind to risk going there to hunt.

The same applies to second-tier high-grade water demons in the East Sea.

They live in the deep sea, far from the human immortal city, where third-tier demon kings roam.

The demon race and the human race also maintain a certain subtle tacit understanding.

Neither the True Man nor the Demon King approached the other's territory, nor would they easily make a move.

In the Qingyun Sect's storeroom, the highest grade of cultivation spiritual items that sect disciples could exchange for was no more than mid-grade second rank.

Not even a single drop of demonic beast essence blood was found.

Externally, even for cultivation families in the core areas, any second-tier spiritual creature is strictly controlled.

Without the sect's permission, second-tier cultivation items such as pills, arrays, artifacts, and talismans may not be sold to outsiders.

Shen Xuan partnered with others to open cultivation shops in both the sect's Liuguang Market and Qingyun Immortal City.

Nevertheless, it is still very difficult to acquire high-grade water sprite blood.

"Therefore, if you want to obtain high-grade water fairy blood, you have to do it yourself."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

After refining the essence blood of the color-changing water lizard, he planned to rest for two days.

That morning, Liu Bingyu came to visit.

"Is today a personal training session with real people?"

"Yes, senior brother. Most of the disciples personally taught by the Eighteen Peaks Masters, those who stayed behind in the sect, would be present to trade spiritual items among themselves."

Liu Bingyu explained.

"How come I've never heard of this before?"

"This one……"

Liu Bingyu's eyes sparkled.

"Previously, only the direct disciples of the Seventeen Peaks participated. The direct disciples of Little Lone Peak did not participate."

Shen Xuan asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

“No one is ostracizing them; they just don’t want to participate.”

"So, they didn't tell you?"

Shen Xuan coughed lightly.

No one really told him about the personal instruction session.

It's estimated that the senior and junior sisters of Xiaogufeng have all forgotten about this.

Could it be that they were too poor in the past and didn't have any decent cultivation items to offer, so they simply didn't participate, lest they see a cultivation item they liked but couldn't offer anything to trade, and feel bad about it?

"Let's go, senior brother, time's almost up!"

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan readily agreed.

He wanted to see if he could trade for the spiritual items he needed for cultivation.

The two left the cave and transformed into two streaks of light, heading side by side towards Tianfeng Peak.

This personal training session was hosted by Ye Lingfeng, the eldest disciple of Master Tianfeng.

Before long, the two arrived at Tianfeng Peak.

The meeting place was designed under a giant tree on a mountain peak.

At this point, there were already more than thirty figures.

As soon as Shen Xuan appeared, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Third Senior Brother, we're here!"

It turned out to be Gu Jinqin and Qin Yuehan.

It was Gu Jinqin who called out.

Qin Yuehan, dressed in white, with a cool and aloof expression, gave Shen Xuan a slight curtsy.

"Junior Sister Gu, Junior Sister Qin, you've arrived too!"

Shen Xuan greeted him with a smile.

At this time.

"Fellow disciples, welcome to Tianfeng Peak. I am Ye Lingfeng, and I am the host of this personal discipleship gathering. I hope you will all support me."

A steady voice rang out.

Beneath the giant tree, a gentle breeze stirred.

The next moment, a thin, gaunt figure slowly emerged from the void.

Upon seeing Ye Lingfeng appear.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes.

This person was actually at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

His body swayed slightly, seemingly boneless, drifting in the wind, exuding a certain charm of the wind, his spiritual energy extremely refined.

"This junior brother looks unfamiliar. Bingyu, is he Shen Xuan, the newly appointed disciple of your Cold Jade Peak?"

"Shen Xuan greets Senior Brother Ling."

Shen Xuan quickly bowed.

Whether it's the true transmission of the Golden Core or the completion of the Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Xuan dared not be arrogant.

"Junior Brother Shen's first time participating, that's quite an achievement!"

Ye Lingfeng chuckled.

"Time's up, and most people have arrived. Let's begin. Who wants to go first?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan immediately understood.

This personal training session was similar in rules to the small gathering he attended after the auction in Yunyuan Immortal City.

Each participant took turns speaking, presenting their items for trade, and requesting to purchase the spiritual objects they needed.

Ye Lingfeng's greatest role was to maintain order.

One by one, the disciples, the true masters, went up on stage, each bringing out their own treasured possessions, and sought to purchase various spiritual items for cultivation.

Shen Xuan watched with great interest.

When a disciple surnamed Huang from the Lingdan Hall brought out two bottles of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

Shen Xuan's eyes lit up.

He acquired a bottle of ancient spiritual milk at auction years ago, but now there's very little left.

He wouldn't mind having too many of these second-tier spiritual items that can instantly replenish spiritual energy.

The disciple surnamed Huang wanted to exchange two bottles of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk for several precious spiritual herbs.

Shen Xuan glanced at it.

He actually possessed two of the medicinal herbs.

However, these were the medicinal materials he prepared for Jingji Dan.

They are hard to collect, so naturally people are reluctant to trade them.

Many people are interested in such rare and precious spiritual items as the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk.

If he cannot provide the elixir he needs, he can trade other spiritual items for it.

Some people offered spirit stones, some used magic weapons, and some used elixirs.

Ultimately, it still fell short; the Huang family's disciple remained hesitant and did not give in.

"The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman is comparable to a full-force strike of a Foundation Establishment stage lightning technique. Senior Brother Huang, could you exchange it for the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk you possess?"

Shen Xuan said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman!
This is a mid-grade second-tier lightning talisman.

The person surnamed Huang was clearly interested.

Just about to speak.

Suddenly, a cold snort rang out.

"Hmph! Comparable to a full-force lightning strike from an early Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, what arrogance!"

Shen Xuan frowned slightly.

The speaker exuded a violent and fierce aura, undoubtedly a direct disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Master.

“Junior Brother Ren, let’s talk this out! Since Junior Brother Shen says so, there must be a reason.”

Ye Lingfeng said calmly.

The disciple surnamed Ren dared not be disrespectful to Ye Lingfeng and explained, "The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman is a mid-grade second-tier thunder talisman. Generally speaking, its power is only about 50% of that of a Foundation Establishment early-stage thunder magic cultivator."

“Junior Brother Shen does not understand thunder magic and exaggerates too much. He is deceiving his fellow disciples in their transactions and damaging the reputation of our True Person Transmission Small Association.”

It all comes down to this.

Shen Xuan had no choice but to retort.

"Senior Brother Ren is mistaken! The power of a second-tier spirit talisman cannot be generalized!"

“The materials, patterns, and talisman maker all affect the actual effect of the talisman.”

"The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman that I made myself is more powerful than the full-force attack of any early Foundation Establishment Thunder Magic cultivator in the sect."

Shen Xuan's words were quite disrespectful to the disciples of Tianlei Peak.

As is widely known, all Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qingyun Sect who practice thunder magic are disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Peak.

"How dare you! Shen Xuan, you look down on the disciples of Thunder Peak!"

The disciple surnamed Ren glared angrily at Shen Xuan.

"I dare not! What virtue or ability do I possess to dare to look down on my fellow clansmen of Tianlei Peak?"

"Shen was merely stating the facts."

"Could it be that this personal teaching session can smear someone's reputation out of thin air?"

More than thirty people participated in the personal instruction session, and disciples from all eighteen peaks of the Qingyun Sect were present.

Shen Xuan's words directly established the nature of the Ren family's kinship.

"Junior Brother Shen, watch your words!"

Ye Lingfeng said with an unfriendly expression.

He is the host of the personal mentorship program.

Unexpectedly, the two argued so much that it damaged his reputation.

"Junior Brother Ren, please calm down."

He came up to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan immediately understood and presented a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman.

Ye Lingfeng was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he understood the situation with just one glance.

The thunder talisman that Shen Xuan took out had clear Dao patterns, abundant spiritual power, and was of extremely high quality.

Although it's not quite a masterpiece, it's still a rare and good talisman.

half an hour.

Ye Lingfeng said quietly, "Junior Brother Shen's Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman is almost the same as a full-force strike of a Foundation Establishment early stage thunder technique."

His words saved face for the disciple surnamed Ren.

"Similar" means roughly the same.

"Senior Brother Ye! Don't be fooled by this kid!"

"A good talisman doesn't mean anything!"

"Which talisman master doesn't have a few good talismans in their collection?"

"If it's a high-quality Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman, then so be it."

"If it doesn't reach the highest quality, it can't withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment early-stage lightning magic cultivator!"

Ye Lingfeng's face darkened.

That day, Lei Feng's junior brother Ren didn't know what was good for him.

Even after he had made his decision, he still wouldn't let it go.

Shen Xuan smiled.

"Senior Brother Ren is wrong again."

"I have more than just a few good talismans."

The voice just fell.

Before Shen Xuan, talismans flew up one after another, forming a vortex-like array of flying talismans.

There were a total of forty-nine thunder talismans, each flashing with azure lightning and emitting a soft thunderous sound, which became extremely loud after resonating in unison.
