Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 324 Aftershocks (Please Subscribe)

Shen Xuan knew that it must be the Tianqiao Sect that had come to negotiate.

He's not that stupid.

He went to face Master Lingxiao alone.

The officials of the Enforcement Hall were invited to rest and wait in the cave.

He turned around and went to see Master Hanyu, and reported everything that had happened in Qinglong Bay.

Upon hearing this, Master Hanyu immediately expressed his opinion.

"I will go with you."

A look of gratitude appeared on Shen Xuan's face.

He did nothing wrong in Qinglong Bay.

Protecting the female cultivators is only a matter of course.

As a member of a prestigious family, one must not bully the weak when traveling.

But we must not be bullied by the weak.

Seeing that Shen Xuan had brought Han Yu Zhenren, the deacon of the Enforcement Hall dared not ask any questions and obediently led the way.

Before long, the two arrived at the Hall of Law Enforcement and the Hall of State Affairs.

Master Lingxiao asked the rest of the people to leave the hall and avoid the situation.

"Shen Xuan!"

"The disciple is here!"

Shen Xuan bowed respectfully.

"You take a look first!"

A jade slip containing information flew to Shen Xuan's eyes.

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense.

It was indeed a secret letter written by the sect leader of the Tianqiao Sect to True Person Lingxiao.

It describes what happened in Qinglongwan Market.

They couldn't help but smear the Ding family, saying that they were a mixed bag and that they had made a mess of Qinglongwan Market.

Out of consideration for Shen Xuan, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, the Tianqiao Sect has remained silent and refrained from making a move.

Until recently, the Ding family embezzled public funds from Qinglongwan Market, and when the truth came out, the entire clan fled.

The Tianqiao Sect, having reached its limit of tolerance, dispatched three Foundation Establishment cultivators to stop them.

The three of them acted rashly and misunderstood Shen Xuan.

Unaware of the power of the Grandmaster, in desperation, they challenged each other to a duel, hoping to quickly resolve the Ding family's problems through a battle.

The Tianqiao Sect severely punished all three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Out of respect for Shen Xuan, the matter of the Ding family's defection will not be pursued further.

However, Shen Xuan took away the natal magic treasures of the three members of the Tianqiao Sect.

The forging of a natal magic weapon is not easy and is closely related to the cultivator's own path of cultivation.

The sect leader of Tianqiao Sect begs Master Lingxiao for forgiveness and requests the return of the three people's magical treasures.

After reading it, Shen Xuan immediately passed it on to Master Hanyu.

"This guy has such a thick skin!"

"I am Master Hanyu," he said in a cold voice.

"Three against one, and you still have the nerve to ask for a magic weapon after losing!"

"Shen Xuan."

"The disciple is here."

"Next time something like this happens, take their storage bags too."

"Yes, Master Hanyu."

Shen Xuan answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

This is the advantage of having a powerful backer.

We cannot allow our own people to suffer losses.

Even if the person opposite him is Lingxiao Zhenren from the Law Enforcement Hall.

The usually aloof and serious Master Lingxiao couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Shen Xuan, this is the second time, isn't it?"

"If I remember correctly, you used the same trick last time to take away the magic treasures of three cultivators from the Crimson Rainbow Sect."

Shen Xuan said with a bitter expression, "I was forced into this. Uncle-Master Lingxiao, you don't know. These small and medium-sized sects are like frogs in a well, short-sighted, always bullying the weak and oppressing the few."

"If I didn't have any tricks up my sleeve, they would have taken advantage of me long ago."

Master Lingxiao let out a cold laugh.

"Stop acting! There are no outsiders here!"

"I am not such a pedantic person."

Lingxiao Zhenren glanced at Hanyu Zhenren and said thoughtfully, "After all, they are from the same lineage as the Song Kingdom's Daoist sect. Since the sect leader of Tianqiao Sect has personally sent a letter, we should still give them some face."

Shen Xuan looked at Han Yu Zhenren with a wronged expression.

He wouldn't dare to argue with Master Lingxiao.

"So, Senior Brother Lingxiao, you want my disciple to do this for nothing?"

Master Hanyu was displeased.

"The sect is secretly fighting with Medicine God Valley, and the sect leader is under a lot of pressure!"

"Junior Sister Hanyu, let's return the magic weapon to them."

Master Lingxiao advised.

"If you don't return it, you'll have to redeem it!"

"Three magical treasures for two hundred thousand spirit stones, they got a good deal!"

Master Hanyu said coldly, "This is not just a matter of two hundred thousand spirit stones."

"My own disciple can be trampled on by anyone. What face do I have left!"

"If that fellow is not convinced, I will fight him. If he wins, the three magic treasures will be returned, and I will compensate him with two hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Shen Xuan secretly gave a thumbs up to Master Hanyu in his heart.

This is confidence!
Having overwhelming strength is truly impressive!
Lingxiao Zhenren looked at Hanyu Zhenren, who was full of fighting spirit, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The sect leader of Tianqiao Sect would never gamble with Hanyu Zhenren.

We won, it was only natural.

If they lose, the entire Tianqiao Sect will become a laughing stock in the cultivation world of the Song Kingdom.

The problem is that although the sect leader of Tianqiao Sect is a Golden Core True Person, his chances of winning against Hanyu True Person are not high.

That is a 50-50 split.

"How about this, Shen Xuan?"

"The disciple is here."

“I will exchange these three magical treasures for 60,000 sect contribution points from you.”

"Yes, Senior Uncle Lingxiao."

Shen Xuan obediently presented the three magical treasures of the Heavenly Craft Sect.

Sixty thousand sect contribution points.

This price is equivalent to 180,000 spirit stones.

Although it was slightly cheaper, at least it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Shen Xuan felt quite gratified.

After returning to Cold Jade Peak.

Shen Xuan proposed the matter of settling the Ding family's immortal seedlings.

Out of respect for Shen Xuan, Master Hanyu nodded in agreement.

The number of participants is limited to ten. They must be outer disciples of Hanyu Peak and strictly abide by the Qingyun Sect's rules and regulations as well as those of Hanyu Peak.

Without her decree, no one is allowed to approach within a thousand feet of the blessed land atop Cold Jade Peak under any circumstances.

The specific arrangements will be handled by disciple Liu Bingyu.

As for Shen Xuan, he was instructed to focus on his cultivation and not to be distracted by these worldly matters.

Shen Xuan readily agreed.

He solemnly declared that he would definitely cultivate diligently to attain enlightenment, condense his inner elixir, and repay Master Hanyu's kindness in nurturing him.

After settling his wife, children, and the Ding family cultivators, Shen Xuan was finally relieved of his worries. He helped the Ding family cultivators escape Qinglong Bay, gambled against three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Tianqiao Sect, suppressed the Core Formation seedlings from the Chihong Sect, helped the Ding family's immortal seedlings join Hanyu Peak, and arranged for Lü Zhengying to help the Ding family open a shop in Qingyun Immortal City.

He treated the Ding family with utmost kindness and righteousness.

To put it bluntly...

Even if he were the ancestor of the Ding family, doing this much would be considered a great deed.

Besides, he was merely the son-in-law of Ding's daughter.

As for Ding Yuyao...

As people get older, they enter old age.

Shen Xuan treated her well from beginning to end.

Whenever I have free time, I still make time to visit her.

The bond between the two is primarily one of familial affection.

Shen Xiuxing and Shen Xiuyan are adopted children who are not related by blood.

Shen Xuan didn't mind lending a hand.

But it's absolutely impossible for him to devote himself to his adopted son and daughter.

No one should try to threaten him with his offspring.

Furthermore, it is impossible to use his offspring's bloodline to perform various strange and mysterious arts on him.

……

Shen Xuan made a big splash in Qinglong Bay.

To put Master Hanyu's mind at ease.

He decided to dedicate himself to intensive study for a period of time.

Incidentally, assist Liu Bingyu in selecting and placing the Ding family's immortal seedlings.

In addition, he took some time to visit Xiaogufeng during a thunderstorm.

With the help of the lightning-summoning array, more than a thousand lightning spirit beads were refined.

They also exchanged 700 Thunder Spirit Pearls from the Wu sisters.

There are as many as two thousand Thunder Spirit Orbs alone.

The Wu sisters traded Thunder Sound Bamboo Beads with Shen Xuan.

They treated him incredibly well.

She kept calling him "Third Senior Brother," as if she wanted to hang her soft, delicate body on him.

Shen Xuan, with a stern face, criticized the Wu sisters and told them to have some self-respect.

I still feel a little regretful.

Just like Qin Yuehan.

The Wu sisters were the kind of poison bait that should absolutely not be swallowed.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Xuan had been cultivating on Hanyu Peak for half a year.

During this period, in addition to cultivating various innate skills, Shen Xuan devoted more energy to integrating the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique] into the [Divine Treasure Vast Ocean Technique].

These two techniques and spells are his main techniques and spells.

It is related to the success or failure of his condensation of the inner elixir.

Currently, in his dantian Dao Foundation Spirit Sea, Master Hanyu has planted the Xuanbing Spirit Lotus for him, paving the way for his cultivation of ice techniques.

If all goes well.

The inner core he condensed was of the ice attribute.

Even if they are not Golden Core cultivators, their combat power can surpass that of ordinary Inner Core cultivators.

Master Hanyu is a good example.

Not a Golden Core cultivator, but comparable to one.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a female cultivator and disliked sect affairs.

It definitely ranks among the top of the thirteen outer peaks.

Shen Xuan did not rush into things.

First, gain a deeper understanding of the Water Spirit's method of freezing ice, thus building a stronger and more solid foundation.

In just six months.

Shen Xuan was able to condense water into ice, manipulate it at will, and switch between them freely.

In retrospect, his previous technique of condensing water into sharpness was merely a facade.

Having made up his mind, Shen Xuan went to pay his respects to Master Hanyu.

He performed the magic again on the spot, allowing Master Hanyu to see his progress.

While Master Hanyu was overjoyed, he took the opportunity to request to go out.

"Master Hanyu, I have recently had a sudden feeling that an opportunity may appear in the north."

"This disciple requests permission to go out for training."

The concept of chance is inherently mysterious.

The Taoist master said: What the mind follows cannot be conveyed by words.

The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the connection between heaven and man.

Shen Xuan used the excuse of sensing an opportunity to apply for permission to go out, which Master Hanyu could not refuse.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan is very strong.

As long as you don't encounter a real-life demon ancestor or demon king.

Within the Foundation Establishment Realm, one can laugh at the winds and clouds.

After giving him some instructions, Master Hanyu granted him permission to leave the sect.

This time, Shen Xuan's purpose in leaving the sect was clear.

The Thunder Beast, still harboring resentment in his heart.

To deal with the Thunder Beast, he even specially made a lightning-proof protective garment.

It cost over 100,000 spirit stones.

It is made of high-quality materials, has excellent craftsmanship, and provides extremely strong lightning protection.

"Take care, brother!"

Liu Bingyu, accompanied by ten Ding family immortals, saw them off at the exit of Hanyu Peak.

There were seven boys and three girls, all around thirteen or fourteen years old, with varying levels of talent.

Based on Shen Xuan's insight, only a handful of people among them had the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, as long as one person can successfully establish their foundation, it will be enough to support the Ding family.

"Thank you for taking care of these children, junior sister."

"No trouble at all. There are few people on Hanyu Peak, so it's a bit deserted. They're quite obedient."

Liu Bingyu said with a smile.

She felt no psychological burden in taking these Ding family immortal seedlings with her.

It was originally meant for doing odd jobs.

He treated her with utmost respect.

She's irresponsible, letting these promising seedlings grow into useful talents.

The immortal seedlings of the Ding family looked at Shen Xuan as if they were seeing a god.

They witnessed firsthand how the high and mighty Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Heavenly Skill Sect were utterly helpless in front of Shen Xuan.

Their innocent eyes were filled with respect and envy.

Shen Xuan waved his hand, summoning the Golden Claw Divine Eagle Corpse Beast, which then spread its wings and flew away.

This time, he plans to hunt as many second-tier high-grade water-attribute monsters as possible.

Besides the two predetermined targets, the Thunder Beast in the Thunder Swamp and the Sky-Piercing Water Rhinoceros in the Frozen Lake.

As long as it's not a third-tier demon king.

He wanted to try even a second-tier top-grade water-attribute demon beast.

Before leaving, he made several "good fortune and avoidance of misfortune" gestures, and his heart fluttered slightly.

It was a close call, nothing to worry about.
