Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 321 Tensions Rise (Seeking Subscriptions)

Just a stick of incense.

Ding Yixuan's complexion regained some color.

The spiritual energy within his body took on a faint cyan hue.

This is a special effect of his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea merging with the spiritual power of the [Divine Treasure Vast Ocean Technique].

"Both are water-based cultivators, but the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] has a better healing and recovery effect!"

Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

His spiritual power is extraordinary.

It not only has therapeutic and health-preserving effects.

It can also be accompanied by various bloodline talents.

When Shen Xuan transferred the spiritual power of the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], he used the perfected level [Self-Healing Technique].

That's why Ding Yixuan's injuries healed so quickly.

He glanced at Shen Xuan gratefully.

At this moment, Ding Yixuan clearly felt that his body functions were recovering rapidly, full of vitality and life.

"As expected of a disciple of a Grandmaster, Master Shen's methods are divine and unbelievable!"

Ding Yixuan's eyes were filled with excitement.

I almost became a cripple!
Life is better than death!

Now, he can clearly feel that his injuries are gradually improving.

Then, Shen Xuan took out a Nine-Turn Life-Extending Pill.

This is the best healing elixir I could get from the Qingyun Sect, a mid-grade second-tier pill.

Selling to external parties is strictly prohibited.

Shen Xuan's [Self-Healing Technique] is at its peak, so he rarely needs to use it.

However, they also prepared a bottle, just in case.

Shen Xuan had Ding Yixuan swallow it and used his spiritual power to refine the Nine-Turn Life-Sustaining Pill.

When Ding Yixuan tried to circulate his internal energy again, his whole body trembled and he was drenched in sweat.

His face showed an expression of unbearable pain.

"Bear it!"

Shen Xuan said calmly, "Breaking down the old and bringing forth the new is a little painful."

An hour later.

"You can come in now!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's voice, Ding Yijin rushed into the house.

At this moment, although Ding Yixuan was still lying in bed, his complexion had improved considerably.

"After two days of rest, you will recover to about 70-80%."

"The Dao Foundation and Spiritual Sea have recovered very well and will not affect future advancement and breakthroughs."

Ding Yijin was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Master Shen Fu's kindness and virtue will be forever etched in the memory of the entire Ding family!"

Seeing Ding Yixuan's miraculous transformation, Ding Yijin felt as if he were dreaming.

Just a while ago.

Ding Yixuan still looked like he was seriously ill and dying.

He could fall below the Foundation Establishment Realm at any moment, transforming from a spirit into a mortal.

Just over an hour later.

Ding Yixuan's injuries had healed by about 40-50%.

Two days later, the person will have recovered about 70-80% of their original health.

Even the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea was perfectly repaired.

This method filled him with both surprise and delight.

When he looked at the familiar Master Shen again, a sense of respect couldn't help but show in his eyes.

This is something that many Foundation Establishment stage medical cultivators are helpless to solve.

In Shen Fushi's hands, it seemed to be just a trivial matter that could be easily resolved with a simple gesture.

These are true prodigies who came from Qinglongwan Market!

Many years ago, when Shen Xuan broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, the Ding family wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law.

Unfortunately, I missed it.

Marrying Ding family's mortal daughter to Shen Xuan was a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.

If this relationship did not exist.

Shen Xuan will not offer any help; the Ding family no longer exists.

Outside the cabin.

The three elders of the Ding family are still waiting for news.

Ding Yixuan is expected to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, which is key to the revival of the Ding family.

When they entered the small house, they saw that Ding Yixuan's injuries had greatly improved, and their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at Shen Xuan.

They could imagine that Shen Xuan could treat Ding Yixuan.

But the fact that such a treatment could be achieved in such a short time still deeply shocked them.

They had long heard of Shen Xuan, the turtle talisman master.

No one expected this.

More than fifty years later, the Ding family will survive because of this person.

"A Grand Master cultivator, a disciple of a True Person, indeed possesses extraordinary abilities!"

"Our Ding family is destined to survive! With the help of a benefactor like Master Shen, how can our family not prosper!"

"If you ask me, the old patriarch made a mistake back then! If we had recruited Master Shen into the clan, how could our Ding family have fallen to such a state!"

"Is it that the old patriarch doesn't want to? It's that Master Shen Fu is unwilling!"

"That's because Master Shen had a sudden enlightenment and advanced to a mid-grade talisman master. If it were a few years earlier, Master Shen would definitely have agreed."

"Yes, he married a mortal girl from our Ding family! If it were a young and beautiful female cultivator from the Ding family, Master Shen would probably agree as well."

Shen Xuan was speechless.

The three elders of the Ding family whispered to each other outside the small house.

Unfortunately, he now possesses the skill "Hearing from All Directions," which, like "Insight" and "Clear Observation," he continuously and actively uses, making his hearing extremely acute.

He heard every word spoken by the three elders of the Ding family.

Shen Xuan said softly, "Patriarch Ding, please let them in. I have something to say to you."

Not long after.

The room returned to calm.

Shen Xuan looked at the Ding brothers and the three elders.

"My actions this time have come at a considerable cost. What are your thoughts, Ding family?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yijin carefully took out a small jade-colored seal from his storage bag.

"This is the ancestral seal of the Ding family. Please accept it, Master Shen. All 128 cultivators of the Ding family bowed their heads in obedience, and none dared to disobey."

Shen Xuan waved his hand and said, "Patriarch Ding, you're too kind. Take it back. That's not what I meant."

"I only came here because of my wife."

"Consuming some spiritual energy and a mid-grade second-tier spirit pill is nothing."

"However, the Crimson Rainbow Sect already had a prejudice against me. By ruining their plans, they will hate me even more in the future."

"Why is Patriarch Ding in such a hurry? Could it be that your Ding family is about to be abandoned by the Tianqiao Sect?"

Ding Yijin looked ashamed.

"As Master Shen said, I, Ding, am incompetent, lack strength, and am at a loss for what to do. I have failed my ancestors!"

In fact, Shen Xuan had expected this to happen.

Ding Yijin, with the help of the Tianqiao Sect, returned to Qinglong Bay and reclaimed half of the sacred land.

At first, the Tianqiao Sect still needed the Ding family as a cover.

More than 30 years have passed.

The Tianqiao Sect and the Chihong Sect reached a tacit agreement to share the profits of the Tianyan Copper Mine. The Ding family, now a mere pawn, could be discarded.

There is no other way to go.

Ding Yijin should have been aware of this when he borrowed the power of the Tianqiao Sect.

To negotiate with a tiger for its skin, you must first have sufficient strength.

Clearly, with only two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Ding Yijin and Ding Yixuan, the Ding family is not qualified to be seated at the table.

Ding Yijin forced himself to build a foundation, but his achievements were limited, and he would never be able to reach the middle stage of foundation building in his lifetime.

Originally, Ding Yixuan still had some hope.

Under the relentless pressure from the Crimson Rainbow Sect cultivators, they foolishly hoped to decide the outcome through a duel, thus giving the Ding family a chance to catch their breath.

The result was a crushing defeat and serious injuries.

This also stifled the Ding family's momentum to continue developing independently.

No cultivation family can achieve anything significant without the support of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, he would absolutely not agree to Ding Yijin handing over the management of the market and dissolving the family.

The Ding family's thousand-year-old tradition must not be broken in his hands.

Moreover.

After the clan was disbanded, its members became rogue cultivators, and it remains to be seen how many of them will survive.

The Ding family and the Crimson Rainbow Sect are mortal enemies, and there is no way to resolve the conflict.

The principle of eliminating problems at their root also applies to the cultivation world.

"Please, Master Shen, save us!"

Ding Yijin knelt down with a thud.

The once dashing young man is now exhausted and prematurely aged.

The Crimson Rainbow Sect is a behemoth that cannot be shaken by a small family like the Ding family.

"Get up. There's no need for that."

Shen Xuan used a clever trick to lift Ding Yijin up.

"Ding Yijin, let me ask you, in your eyes, which is more important, the Azure Dragon Bay spiritual vein or the Ding family members?"

Ding Yijin stood up, then paused for a moment.

He quickly understood what Shen Xuan meant.

"The Ding family members are important!"

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

Ding Yijin is not senile.

"However, without the Azure Dragon Bay spiritual vein, the Ding family members will have nowhere to go!"

Ding Yijin exchanged glances with the three elders and added another sentence.

This is the tragedy of cultivators at the bottom.

Without spiritual veins, even if people band together, survival remains difficult.

Not to mention raising offspring.

A spiritual vein is like a farmer's land.

It is the very foundation of their lives.

Even if it's just half a second-tier low-grade spiritual vein that small and medium-sized sects don't care about.

Ding Yijin was unwilling to give up unless absolutely necessary.

Shen Xuan calmly said, "My current identity is that of a direct disciple of the True Persons of the Xiaogu Peak and Hanyu Peak branches of the Qingyun Sect."

"On Cold Jade Peak, there are only my master, True Person Cold Jade, and my junior sister, Liu Bingyu."

"If you are interested, I can report to my master and ask her to grant permission for a small number of Ding family members to join the Qingyun Sect as outer disciples and be stationed at Hanyu Peak."

“The area is rich in spiritual energy, and there are several ice pools where you can raise some spirit fish that are adapted to ice pools.”

"In addition, we can develop some spiritual herb gardens and plant some ice-attribute spiritual plants."

"The rest of the clansmen can also move to the market town near Qingyun Immortal City, open shops, sell spirit fish and spirit plants, and purchase medicinal herbs."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yijin was overjoyed and extremely excited.

"The Ding family would certainly be happy to oblige; we would be most grateful if Master Shen could provide them with the best possible care!"

In fact, given Shen Xuan's financial resources...

We could lend the Ding family hundreds of thousands of spirit stones so they could bid on a second-tier low-grade spirit vein near Qingyun Immortal City.

However, Shen Xuan still understood the principle that a small favor can be appreciated, while a large favor can breed resentment.

He only provided emergency assistance to the Ding family, not long-term support.

To earn spirit stones and bid on spirit veins, they must rely on their own efforts.

"Let's not delay. Pack your things and set off in three days."

"Thank you, Master Shen. I'll make the arrangements right away."

……

Three days later.

At the entrance of Qinglongwan Market.

The entire Ding family was fully prepared to depart.

Ding Yijin had made preparations in advance and secretly purchased a second-hand spaceship.

Shen Xuan lent Ding Yixuan a spaceship.

The two spaceships can carry more than eighty cultivators.

The Ding family housed most of their clansmen on the spaceship.

The remaining elite cultivators circled the spaceship, flying on their magical artifacts.

Qinglong Bay Market is quite close to Longmen Market of Qingyun Sect, only three thousand miles away.

It only takes one day to get there.

Under the intimidating reputation of the Qingyun Sect, the figures of thieves were rarely seen on the main road leading to Longmen Market.

Moreover, the Ding family's cultivator team had two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators escorting them.

Ordinary cultivators are unwilling to engage in direct combat, as the risk is not significant.

The Ding family members were about to set off.

At that moment, a rapid whooshing sound came from inside Qinglong Bay Market.

Ding Yijin and Ding Yixuan looked nervous.

Two streaks of light, one white and one red, stopped five zhang in front of the two of them.

"Senior Brother Tan, Senior Sister Hu, what brings you here?"

Ding Yijin's expression changed.

The people who came were Tan Xingkong and Hu Ningxiang, whom they had met before.

Both of them had gloomy expressions.

"Junior Brother Ding, where are you thinking of going?"

Tan Xingkong asked in a sinister tone.

“My younger brother is seriously injured, and I plan to take him to the Great Immortal City for medical treatment.”

"Junior Brother Ding, how dare you lie and deceive Senior Brother Tan!"

Hu Ningxiang pointed at Ding Yixuan: "I see your younger brother is full of energy, and his injuries have almost healed."

Ding Yijin said in a deep voice, "My younger brother's injuries have indeed improved thanks to the treatment of Master Shen Fu."

"However, recovery from illness is slow and gradual. My younger brother still needs to go to the Great Immortal City for treatment. Otherwise, if the illness leaves a lingering root and damages his Dao foundation, he will be unable to advance and break through in the future."

"Fine, even if you're right. What about these people?"

Hu Ningxiang pointed to the other Ding family cultivators.

"Of the 128 cultivators in the Ding family, only eight are old and senile; the rest are here."

"You clearly intend to betray your sect and flee!"

"How dare you come and go as you please, my Heavenly Skill Sect!"
