Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

This is the downside of playing all your cards first.

If Old Master Bai wants to complete the transaction, he can only let Shen Xuan raise the price.

"You said."

"First, the old man must not reveal Shen's identity to anyone."

This is taking precautions, nipping problems in the bud, and avoiding unnecessary hidden dangers.

Old Master Bai immediately said, "Yes!"

"Secondly, Mr. Shen will pay 1,200 Thunder Spirit Pearls in exchange for the Old Master giving Mr. Shen the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], cultivation insights, and the essence blood of the Frost Snow Dragon."

"Oh, and I also want a copy of that book, 'True Spirit Transformation'."

This time, Old Master Bai remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he finally said quietly, "Are there any other conditions?"

"Third, during the small beast tide, if Baijia Village can withstand the attack of the monsters, there will be no need for me, Shen, to take action."

"If Baijia Village is unable to withstand the attack and the situation becomes critical, endangering our village, I, Shen, will take immediate action."

Old Master Bai nodded slightly: "Alright."

"Fourth, any monsters that Shen kills or captures during the beast tide belong to me."

"The second-tier water-type monsters seized in Baijiazhai will be sold to Shen first."

"Can!"

"Fifth, if it is beyond my ability, I am afraid I cannot help."

"Explain yourself clearly."

"If I can't win, I'm going to run for my life!"

Shen Xuan spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"The old man wouldn't want me to be buried with Baijia Village!"

"Even if I were willing, my two masters wouldn't allow it!"

Old Master Bai sighed.

"You little rascal, you're such a nuisance!"

"I've lost a fortune trading with you!"

"If you want me to agree, you'll have to show me something!"

If it weren't for that person's designation, Old Master Bai wouldn't believe that Shen Xuan's strength could be that great.

If one's combat strength is merely that of a typical mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, or even a typical late-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He had no need to make a deal with Shen Xuan.

At the very least, one's combat strength must reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.

It can contend with second-tier top-grade monsters.

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. I am a direct disciple of two branches of the Qingyun Sect, and my specialty is fighting and hunting demons."

The voice just fell.

Several arcs of lightning flashed from Shen Xuan's body.

In the next instant, he vanished to an open area three hundred feet in front of the thatched hut.

"Lightning Release Technique?"

Old Master Bai, leaning on his cane, appeared ten feet away from Shen Xuan, his eyes filled with surprise.

Previously, Shen Xuan said he "had a slight understanding of thunder magic".

He didn't mention that he had mastered the Lightning Release Technique.

With such a superb lightning escape technique, even without the Demon King appearing, the monsters in the small beast tide have no way to deal with Shen Xuan.

"Grandpa, watch carefully!"

Before Shen Xuan, clouds and mist swirled, and water vapor filled the air.

A landscape painting, tens of meters long, slowly unfolds.

The waters of the four great rivers flow mightily and converge into the vast ocean.

The thousand streams of spiritual water stirred up towering waves, splashing water in a breathtaking spectacle.

"A top-grade water-attribute spatial magic treasure?"

Old Master Bai was filled with doubt and surprise.

High-grade water-based magical treasures are already rare.

The Rivers and Seas Map is also a spatial magic weapon.

With the blessing of a thousand streams of spiritual water, the power of a water-based cultivator's spells can be multiplied several times.

"Here comes the sword!"

Shen Xuan gave a soft shout.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword, nurtured in his dantian, shot out and flew to Shen Xuan's eyes.

It quickly turned transparent.

Centered on Shen Xuan, the temperature within a hundred feet around him suddenly dropped.

The chilling, extreme cold instantly froze the air into frost.

The chilling aura penetrated straight to the soul, causing even Old Master Bai to feel a chill run through his entire body.

Although he was old and his health was failing.

However, he is a genuine person who has achieved the peak of Foundation Establishment and the Golden Body, and has cultivated both physical and spiritual bodies.

Surprisingly, I could feel a sense of awe and power emanating from the Ice Soul Divine Sword.

Clearly, the Ice Soul Divine Sword could pose a threat to him.

This surprised and delighted Old Master Bai.

How could he know?

The Ice Soul Divine Sword incorporated a portion of the Cold Jade True Man's natal essence.

If unleashed to its fullest potential, it would be enough to kill any Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

"Congeal!"

With Shen Xuan's shout.

The Ice Soul Sword gleamed with a cold light, and wherever its sharp edge passed, countless walls of spiritual light and ice rose up.

"change!"

The next moment.

Those luminous ice walls all transformed into transparent, dark ice fish, swimming leisurely and eagerly, radiating a chilling coldness.

"disease!"

Countless dark ice fish gathered together.

After counting the interest.

A ten-zhang-long ice dragon, filled with a violent aura, its deep, cold dragon eyes gleaming with a chilling light, stared intently at Old Master Bai.

Its dragon body is covered with scales that display mysterious Dao patterns, exuding a majestic aura, as if it could destroy everything in the world at any moment.

Shen Xuan stopped performing the magic incantation.

And so, the Frost Dragon and Old Master Bai locked eyes.

Time seems to stand still.

After more than a hundred breaths.

The area within a hundred feet of Shen Xuan was completely covered by ice and snow.

Old Master Bai remained unmoved.

It could only maintain a radius of ten feet around it, preventing it from being affected by the cold of ice and snow.

He stared at Shen Xuan in astonishment.

Although it was somewhat expected.

But he really didn't expect Shen Xuan to be this strong.

After all, he was just a Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivator.

Even with the advanced cultivation of the Grand Master and the direct transmission from two lineages, it still far exceeded his expectations.

Now look at Shen Xuan.

He remained calm.

Clearly, they still have capacity to spare.

Old Master Bai sighed softly.

Only now has he realized that he is really too old.

Too old to keep up with the changes of this era.

Shen Xuan is clearly a person with great fortune.

They have two real masters who are plotting to inherit the body-refining tradition of Baijiazhai.

Old Master Bai didn't mind Shen Xuan making conditions.

Both sides get what they want, which is perfectly reasonable. The premise is that you have to have the capability.

That person was right.

The benefactor of Baijia Village is right before our eyes.

……

"I have thought it over, and I agree to all of Young Friend Shen's conditions."

"However, I also have one condition."

Shen Xuan's expression hardened: "Please come in, sir."

Old Master Bai pondered for a moment and then said.

"After you, young friend Shen, have achieved success in cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation, if there are any people in Baijia Village with exceptional aptitude for body refining, we hope you will take them as your disciples and guide them in cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation."

This condition is not excessive.

The prerequisite is that Shen Xuan achieves success in his cultivation.

That requires at least reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The disciples they accept are those with exceptional aptitude for body refinement.

It's the kind of thing you can do or not do.

You could easily use the excuse that you don't have enough aptitude for body refinement to cover it up.

"Rest assured, sir! I, Shen, hereby swear an oath to Heaven that I will not reveal the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] to anyone."

"If I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely return to this place and guide the elite disciples of Baijia Village in their cultivation."

Shen Xuan said solemnly.

He then immediately made a vow to Heaven.

The two completed the transaction.

Old Master Bai received 1,200 Thunder Spirit Pearls and a promise that Shen Xuan would lend a hand.

Shen Xuan obtained the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], Old Master Bai's cultivation insights, the essence blood of the Frost Snow Dragon, and a rubbing of the [True Spirit Transformation].

To Shen Xuan's slight surprise,

The copy of the "True Spirit Transformation" did not have the "the law must not be passed on to outsiders" restriction applied.

Clearly, Old Master Bai didn't think it was necessary.

In fact, there is no way to cultivate the [True Spirit Transformation].

After years of painstaking improvements by the Bai family ancestors, the body-refining technique [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] was finally formed.

Old Master Bai did not investigate Shen Xuan's secret.

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the opportunities one will have.

Which cultivator doesn't have some secrets of their own?

"Thank you very much, old man! I will go back and study it now. If there is anything, please let Chief Bai tell me."

Shen Xuan was overjoyed and bowed to take his leave.

"Young friend Shen, you're too kind!"

Old Master Bai solemnly returned the greeting and said.

He performed the courtesy due to an equal.

This is tantamount to acknowledging Shen Xuan's strength.

Shen Xuan's figure quickly disappeared.

A ripple appeared in the void beside Old Master Bai.

A handsome young scholar with a pale face and a bone-shaped fan appeared out of nowhere.

"See? I didn't misjudge you!"

"Shen Xuan is incredibly strong; he's far more than just a Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivator on the surface."

The pale-faced scholar lightly waved his beast-shaped bone fan, and a black Qilin image appeared on the fan surface.

"Ancestor, can Shen Xuan really withstand the three demon generals under the Howling Moon Demon King?"

Old Master Bai asked curiously.

"Don't worry! This person's spiritual energy is strong, no less than that of the three great demon generals."

"Didn't you already ask? He was prepared all along; he came specifically for the Thunder Beast."

"He can deal with the Thunder Beast Demon, the strongest of the three demon generals, and he can also handle the Rending Wind Eagle Demon and the Iron Earth Bear Demon."

"He is a direct disciple of two branches of the Qingyun Sect. If he perishes here, the Howling Moon Demon King will have no good days ahead!"

"It's a pity. If we could have let him stay in Baijia Village, have children, and continue his bloodline, perhaps Baijia Village could have produced some promising talents."

The pale-faced scholar looked at Old Master Bai with disdain.

"Sigh, I'm getting old, and I'm still stuck at the eighth level. What a waste of my Frost Snow Dragon essence blood, it's all gone to that brat Shen Xuan!"

"Strangely, this kid seems to have a trump card up his sleeve, one that even I can't sense clearly."

"A direct disciple of the Grandmaster, not to be underestimated!"

"There's another trump card?"

"It seems to be the aura of a precious talisman. I heard that kid is a genius talisman master of the Qingyun Sect. I wonder what kind of strange talisman he is hiding."

"Forget it, let the Howling Moon Demon King have his headache!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai was secretly alarmed.

Shen Xuan actually possessed a trump card that even the patriarch feared.

……

Shen Xuan had just left the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Then I saw Bai Tiancheng waiting quietly.

"Brother Bai!"

Shen Xuan was in a good mood and took the initiative to greet him.

"Brother Shen!"

Her face was slightly flushed during the day.

During this period, he and Shen Xuan became like brothers.

The two seemed to be very close friends who could talk about anything.

He didn't even tell Shen Xuan about the major event of the early outbreak of the small beast tide.

Until today, the Grand Elder met with Shen Xuan, told him the truth, and traded the remaining Thunder Spirit Pearls in his possession.

"By the way, Brother Shen hasn't visited Baijia Village yet!"

"Let me show you the scenery of Baijiazhai!"

Shen Xuan stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Bai Tiancheng in surprise.

What time is it?!

A swarm of small animals is about to erupt.

As the head of Baijia Village, Bai Cheng did not go to prepare for battle.

Take him to see the scenery of Baijiazhai, what opera is being performed?

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's agreement, Bai Tiancheng bowed deeply.

"Brother Shen, please come with me!"

The two transformed into streaks of light, one after the other, and sped towards the outskirts of Baijia Village.

Baijiazhai is nestled against the mountain and built on the waist of Caixia Ridge.

To enter the village from the mountains, one must pass through Feiyan Pass, Wusheng Pass, and Tianmen Pass in sequence.

Each level is guarded by three golden-bodied barbarian generals and thousands of barbarian warriors, all clad in armor.

Bai Tiancheng took him, starting from Feiyan Pass, to visit and comfort the barbarian warriors stationed there.

Only then did Shen Xuan understand.

Bai Tiancheng wanted him to meet these barbarian warriors who were about to die in battle.

After the outbreak of the small beast tide, the vast majority of these barbarian warriors will die in battle.

During the day, Cheng always had a smile on his face, joking and shouting loudly with some familiar barbarian warriors.

Shen Xuan, however, sensed the grief in his heart.

It's not just during the day.

Those barbarian warriors at the Golden Body Realm also forced smiles.

Clearly, they knew the inside story.

Shen Xuan remained unmoved.

Bai Tiancheng introduced him as his sworn brother, and the barbarian warriors cheered for him in unison.

Seeing the youthful, innocent faces looking at him with respect, Shen Xuan was somewhat moved.

Pity!
These young, vibrant lives!
