Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 314 Iceberg Snow Ape (Please Subscribe)

Looking at the flying talisman array hovering in front of Shen Xuan, the disciples present all gasped in astonishment.

Forty-nine Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans were simultaneously unleashed, forming a flying talisman array with tremendous power.

The power of the lightning rune array it emits is enough to threaten any Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Ye Lingfeng was secretly alarmed.

He could immediately see the power of Shen Xuanfei's spirit array.

Even he, a direct disciple of the Golden Core cultivator and a master of Foundation Establishment, was unwilling to confront this flying talisman array head-on.

With just this flying talisman array technique, Shen Xuan was able to fight against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Junior Brother Shen's mastery of talismanic arts has reached such a level!"

“Junior Brother Shen is a renowned second-tier talisman master in Qingyang Prefecture!”

"Junior Brother Shen's [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman] is a best-selling item in the war between Dao and Demon in Qingyang Prefecture!"

"You may not know this, but the Thunder Spirit Orb that recently appeared on Little Lonely Peak also bears the mark of Junior Brother Shen!"

The disciples of the Qingyun Sect were all discussing it excitedly, each expressing their amazement.

The face of the disciple surnamed Ren was extremely unpleasant.

Not to mention the power of these Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans.

He couldn't do that flying talisman array, which simultaneously controlled forty-nine thunder talismans.

Thirty years into the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, at the peak of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and about to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Others don't know.

He is a thunder magic cultivator personally taught by a Golden Core True Person.

He knew all too well how difficult it was to reach Shen Xuan's level.

Thunder talismans are inherently extremely unstable.

At the same time, he summoned forty-nine thunder talismans, which swirled and intertwined to form a magic array.

Shen Xuan's control over lightning spiritual power has reached an extremely high level.

Moreover, that alone is not enough.

Their soul must be thick and powerful, at least reaching the late stage of ordinary Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, if the spirit array is used for a slightly longer period of time, the spiritual power will not be able to keep up, and the array will instantly become disordered and collapse, causing a series of explosions.

Little did he know that Shen Xuan had not revealed his full strength.

In fact, Shen Xuan could simultaneously command the same number of exquisite Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans, multiplying their power several times over.

If the Flying Talisman Spirit Array is fully activated and unleashed under control, a Foundation Establishment cultivator without a powerful defensive magic weapon will be directly blasted to death.

Seeing that he had intimidated the disciple surnamed Ren, Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

With a casual gesture, he dispelled the flying talisman array.

He collected all forty-nine Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans into his palm, forming a thick stack, and presented them to Ye Lingfeng.

"Senior Brother Ye, please take a look and see if there are any differences among these fifty Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans?"

Ye Lingfeng took the Thunder Talisman and scanned it briefly with his divine sense.

"These are all good talismans!"

Ye Lingfeng was moved.

Just now, Shen Xuan used the flying talisman array, which brought him a strong sense of pressure.

This also means that the Flying Talisman Spirit Array can threaten him.

At this moment, he had fifty thunder talismans in his hand, each of similar quality, all of them good talismans.

It's slightly off from being a top-quality product, but not by much.

No wonder Shen Xuan dared to speak so arrogantly and directly refute his junior brother Ren from Tianlei Peak.

"Junior Brother Shen's mastery of talismans makes me, your senior brother, feel deeply ashamed!"

Ye Lingfeng said with no small amount of envy.

Cultivation is one of the six basic arts: alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, talisman, swordsmanship, and plant cultivation.

Most Foundation Establishment cultivators have tried their hand at the Dao of Talismans and can create some talismans.

However, it is extremely rare for a mid-grade second-tier talisman master like Shen Xuan to be able to create thunder talismans.

None of the seven True Immortals of Tianlei Peak possessed a level of talismanic cultivation comparable to Shen Xuan's.

Moreover, judging from the composition of the flying talisman array, Shen Xuan must have also cultivated the art of array formations, and his skill level is quite high.

"As expected of a direct descendant of two lineages! Even the discerning Master Uncle Hanyu personally stepped in to snatch it. Shen Xuan is truly unfathomable!"

Ye Lingfeng thought to himself.

He glanced at his junior brother Ren secretly.

"Our master warned that the disciples of Thunder Peak are hot-tempered and reckless, and should not be befriended too closely. This junior brother is really something else; without being fully prepared, he recklessly launched an attack, making himself a laughingstock among his fellow disciples and damaging the reputation of Thunder Peak!"

Thinking of this, Ye Lingfeng decided to let the matter drop.

"Alright! Everyone, stop interrupting. Junior Brother Huang, Junior Brother Shen wants to use this Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman to trade for the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk you have. Are you interested?"

The disciple surnamed Huang smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ye praised it highly, and Junior Brother Shen's thunder talisman is of excellent quality, so I am naturally interested in making a deal. However, the quantity of the transaction needs to be discussed carefully!"

A single Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman can withstand a full-force strike of thunder magic from an early Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

With such power, how could he not be tempted?

"You two can discuss this yourselves!"

Shen Xuan and the Huang family's relative went to the side to negotiate.

The two quickly reached a deal.

Shen Xuan exchanged twenty thunder talismans for two bottles of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk.

"Based on this calculation, a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman is worth five thousand spirit stones, and its power is more than three times that of the Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman, making its price ten times higher!"

This price is very reasonable.

The greater the power of a talisman, the higher its price.

There is a multiplier effect between the two.

Sometimes, ten Divine Thunder Talismans are not as effective as one Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman.

Back then, when Shen Xuan unleashed his exquisite Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder Talisman, the Holy Maiden and Holy Son of the Blood Spirit Sect immediately backed down.

These demonic cultivators are confident and have the means to resist ordinary Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder Talismans.

No matter how many there are, we are not afraid.

However, if it were a superior version of the Divine Thunder Talisman for dispelling evil spirits...

Each lightning talisman doubles in power; when stacked together, they can break through their defenses and severely injure them.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman is approximately three times more powerful than the Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman.

Once the flying talisman array is formed, it is enough to kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak.

This is also why Shen Xuan was willing to spend a lot of energy and resources to cultivate the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman.

Craft exquisite Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans and nurture the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.

These two trump cards were his true trump cards, giving him a greater sense of security. The disciple surnamed Ren from Tianlei Peak slunk away alone.

The real-life mentors pretended not to see it and continued to showcase and trade.

After a while, it was Shen Xuan's turn.

He walked to the center of the party circle.

"Do any of you fellow clansmen possess high-grade water demon blood?"

"Shen is willing to pay a high price. High-quality information on water monsters is also acceptable."

Shen Xuan surveyed the entire room and said in a deep voice.

"High-grade, how high?"

someone asked.

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Second-tier, high-grade."

Hearing Shen Xuan's words, everyone was surprised again.

"Second-tier high-grade? Isn't Shen Xuan a mid-grade talisman master?"

"The spirit talismans made from the essence blood of high-grade demon beasts are more powerful."

The essence blood of demonic beasts is not particularly precious.

In cultivation techniques such as alchemy, artifact crafting, array formations, and talismans, the essence and blood of demonic beasts are often used.

However, if the grade reaches the second-tier superior grade, then it is completely different.

A second-tier superior-grade demonic beast is equivalent to the late Foundation Establishment stage of a human.

Those with powerful bloodline talents can have combat strength exceeding that of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, with such a high grade, it was originally a strategic spiritual item that the sect restricted from circulation.

It is rarely seen, whether in the Flowing Light Market within a sect or in the largest Azure Cloud Immortal City.

The sect's warehouse must have some stock, but it wasn't added to the exchange list.

This is also why Shen Xuan has had difficulty acquiring it.

Price is only one factor.

More importantly, while scarcity increases value, the sects also maintain strict control over these items.

Recently, Shen Xuan has been practicing various magical skills.

If you rely on diligent study and hard work, it will take forever to achieve anything.

Adding skill points in the early stages is the best way to advance.

However, you only realize how little money you have when you need it.

He used up all his Daoist points, leaving none behind.

"Junior Brother Shen, I have a second-tier high-grade demon beast blood essence here, from the earth-attribute demon beast Earth Armor Dragon."

After a moment's thought, Shen Xuan gave an apologetic smile.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, but I am a water-based cultivator and not skilled in earth-based magic."

The Earth Armor Dragon is a monster that resembles a pangolin. It is covered in thick armor, is skilled at earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical technique), and has dragon blood. It is famous for its defense and earth-遁.

It's not that it was completely useless to Shen Xuan.

However, at this level, the price to pay for a transaction will not be small.

At this moment, Shen Xuan did not have the extra energy or time to refine the essence blood of other attribute-type demon beasts.

Since that's the case, there's no need to even ask about the price.

"I do have a sample of water-attribute demonic beast blood here, but unfortunately it's only a mid-grade second-tier blood. Senior Brother Shen, would you be interested?"

Another person personally shared their experience.

"Second-tier, mid-grade? What kind of demonic beast is it?"

"Iceberg Snow Ape"

"Iceberg Snow Ape? That's an option!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan felt a surge of joy.

The Ice Mountain Snow Ape dwells in the icy mountains and snowy peaks. Its fur is pure white, and it hides its form in the deep snow. It has a violent and easily angered temperament and may have the talent of ice magic bloodline.

Master Hanyu and Junior Sister Liu Bingyu can create a variety of ice talismans.

Because of his cultivation of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman, Shen Xuan has not yet cultivated the Ice Talisman.

His current main cultivation technique is the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique], and a Xuanbing Spirit Lotus has condensed in his dantian.

In the future, we will use this as a breakthrough to attempt to condense the inner core.

The essence and blood of the Iceberg Snow Ape might yield a decent ice magic bloodline talent.

Even if it doesn't improve the water elemental root aptitude.

It has ice magic skills and Dao points, so it's worth trading.

"I wonder if this senior brother wants spirit stones, thunder talismans, or thunder spirit orbs?"

"Senior Brother Shen is willing to trade the Thunder Spirit Pearl?"

The man's eyes lit up.

Thunder talismans have great fixed power, but they also have drawbacks such as being difficult to activate and having unstable spiritual energy.

Those who are not cultivators of thunder magic cannot unleash the full power of thunder talismans.

But the Thunder Spirit Orb is different.

Although its power is much weaker, it is only 20% of the power of a Foundation Establishment early-stage lightning magic cultivator.

However, it's easy to use and inexpensive!
Recently, the Thunder Spirit Orb of Little Lonely Peak has been making headlines in the battle between Dao and Demon.

Each disciple of a sect participating in the battle in the border prefectures purchased ten Thunder Spirit Orbs at a discounted price of five hundred spirit stones.

In case of an emergency, they would gather together and throw Thunder Spirit Orbs at the same time, causing the demonic cultivators to scream and howl in terror.

As long as the purpose is legitimate and the sect is notified immediately after use, a replacement can be obtained.

Among them, the disciples of the Tianzhang Mansion sect are the most famous.

As soon as Yun Chixin left, he distributed twenty Thunder Spirit Orbs to each of the dozen or so sect disciples who were holding the line on the front lines.

Then, she took the lead and led the sect disciples in a counterattack, causing the Yin Sha Sect demon cultivators to retreat in defeat.

During this period, over a thousand Thunder Spirit Orbs were consumed.

If it were converted into spirit stones, it would amount to more than 500,000.

Yun Chixin remained unfazed, relentlessly pursuing his attack, throwing out a seemingly endless stream of Thunder Spirit Orbs.

Although Shen Xuan did not attempt to refine the Thunder Spirit Orb again.

But Little Lonely Peak produces too many Thunder Spirit Orbs.

The Wu sisters even used the Thunder Spirit Pearl to offset the cost of the Thunder Sound Bamboo Pearl.

One for three, it's undermining the sect's core members, neither side suffers a loss.

"The price of Thunder Spirit Pearls is fixed at five hundred spirit stones each. I wonder how many Thunder Spirit Pearls this junior brother would like to trade for the Iceberg Snow Ape's essence blood in your possession?"
