Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 337 A Sudden Increase in Strength (Please Subscribe)

half year later.

Cold Jade Peak.

Shen Xuan's training room in his cave.

Fog surged and clouds billowed.

A rich, watery aura permeated the entire training room.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged, palms facing upwards, and closed his eyes to practice his martial arts.

In Dantian.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword shrank to a size of only an inch, becoming a stabilizing force in the Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea.

The refined water elemental energy circulated through the five internal organs, rising and falling like the tides, undulating with Shen Xuan's spiritual power, endlessly regenerating.

The rich water elemental energy in the training room surged and swirled, forming vortexes that drew Shen Xuan into his body.

Shen Xuan's divine sense stirred slightly.

In an instant.

The water elemental energy within the body condensed into ice elemental energy.

Shen Xuan transformed into an ice statue, radiating a chilling aura.

In just over ten breaths.

The training room was transformed into a frozen wasteland.

The rich water elemental energy transformed into ice pillars and surged wildly into Shen Xuan's body.

As Shen Xuan activated the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique], it merged into his Dao Foundation Ice Sea.

At this moment, the Dao foundation within Shen Xuan's body was half iceberg and half spiritual sea.

Seemingly peaceful.

In fact, beneath the seabed, undercurrents surge, containing incredible and enormous energy.

A mystical ice lotus stands firmly atop an iceberg on the sea surface, quietly blooming.

On each lotus leaf, various mysterious ice magic patterns evolved.

The area of ​​the iceberg continues to expand.

After more than a hundred breaths.

Daoji transformed into an iceberg.

Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

The [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique] has finally advanced to the mastery stage!

"Not easy!"

Shen Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Six months ago, he declined the invitation from Tianfu Chamber of Commerce to become a guest retainer.

At that moment, both Shangguan Yan'er and Hou Jing looked extremely surprised.

According to Hou Jing, the Chamber of Commerce's guest elders enjoy extremely high salaries, with an annual stipend of 80,000 spirit stones!
Normally, there is no need to do any specific tasks.

All you need to do is show up at the chamber of commerce negotiations.

Shangguan Yan'er encouraged them from the side.

Clearly, she wanted Shen Xuan to take over the position of honorifics at the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, she and the Shangguan family will have more say in the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

Shen Xuan remained unmoved.

Firmly refuse.

The auspicious phrase "May wealth and treasures come your way" actually came true at the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

This left Shen Xuan both amused and exasperated.

The Tianfu Chamber of Commerce was based in Liaoyuan County.

That area is within the sphere of influence of the Xuantian Sect.

Shen Xuan was unwilling to get involved in these consequences.

Don't be fooled by Hou Jing's nice words.

They assured him that he didn't need to do anything.

When the time really comes, he can no longer afford to be a coward.

Even if he doesn't care about the damage to his reputation.

The position of the Qingyun Sect must also be taken into account.

As a direct disciple of the two lineages of the Qingyun Sect, I must uphold the sect's reputation when I am away from home.

An annual salary of only 80,000 spirit stones is not worth it.

When leaving Baijia Village, Shangguan Yan'er spent the night with him.

I hesitated to speak several times.

Shen Xuan pretended not to know.

He and Shangguan Yan'er met by chance, but they were quite compatible in some ways.

But only there.

Between the two, each takes what they need and owes the other nothing.

He never sought to repay kindness with favors.

They also did not believe that Shangguan Yan'er had offered herself to him.

The two were merely having a brief, intimate encounter due to loneliness.

At the time of parting.

Shangguan Yan'er's eyes were brimming with tears.

Shen Xuan then revealed his identity.

He suggested that Shangguan Yan'er move the Shangguan family to the vicinity of Qingyun Immortal City.

She is the only Foundation Establishment cultivator left in the Shangguan family.

It's difficult to make a difference within the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

If we were to relocate to Qingyun Immortal City.

Shen Xuan was willing to step in and arrange for the Guan family to purchase a second-tier spiritual land from within the Qingyun Sect at a preferential price.

Shangguan Yan'er pondered for a long time.

The decision was made after discussions with the Hui people and their elders.

A letter arrived not long ago, in which the clan elders reached a consensus and decided to relocate to the vicinity of Qingyun Immortal City.

They are dealing with local clan property and estimate they can raise 500,000 spirit stones.

Please ask Shen Xuan to handle the matter of purchasing a second-tier spiritual land.

The Shangguan family is different from the Ding family.

Originally a family business association, they are skilled in business and have complete channels and talent.

With just a certain level of security, they can become self-reliant.

……

Shen Xuan's thoughts returned to reality.

"I have advanced to mastery of the [True Ice Heart Technique]. Master Hanyu will surely be satisfied with my progress!"

"And that's not all..."

Shen Xuan focused his mind and formed the hand seals for the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation].

His body suddenly swelled to a height of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

Its fangs protrude, and its face is ferocious.

"【Icy and Frozen Domain】!"

The training room was already covered in ice and snow and was filled with a chilly atmosphere.

next moment.

The temperature dropped again.

The dust particles all condensed into ice crystals and fell down in a soft rustling sound.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators have their spiritual power and divine sense greatly limited.

If the body does not fight back, it will be invaded by the extreme cold, damaging its internal organs and meridians.

Shen Xuan pointed casually.

More than a dozen extremely cold ice blades flew out from his fingertips, gleaming with a cold light.

Shen Xuan tried it.

The power of [Extreme Cold Ice Blade] is similar to that of [Dark Ice Fish].

However, condensing the [Dark Ice Fish] requires a certain amount of spiritual power.

The [Extreme Cold Ice Blade] consumes almost no spiritual power; it is unleashed by activating the power of one's bloodline.

Shen Xuan was quite satisfied with this. These two ice techniques were equivalent to magical attacks and physical attacks.

Each has its own merits.

Suitable for different combat situations.

Shen Xuan made an estimate.

His cultivation speed was only slightly slower than that of a direct disciple of the Golden Core stage.

It's almost identical to other personal instruction.

"However, the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] that I practice is an ancient method with therapeutic and health-preserving effects, but the cultivation speed is relatively slow."

"Now that I've integrated the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique], my cultivation speed has slowed down a bit."

"Fortunately, I have the two innate skills [Water Spirit Absorption] and [Gnawing on All Things], which improve the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption and strengthen the spiritual sea of ​​my Dao Foundation."

Thinking about it this way, Shen Xuan's cultivation speed is quite fast.

His water elemental root increased by one point after refining the Frost Snow Dragon.

[Spiritual Root: Water 83/100]

Ninety points indicates a divine spiritual root.

Throughout the entire Qingyun Sect, cultivators with the aptitude of immortal spiritual roots are few and far between.

"Therefore, spiritual roots are no longer the main factor limiting my cultivation."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Shen Xuan now lacks nothing in terms of wealth, companions, laws, and land.

The lightning-summoning array continuously provided him with spirit stones.

Master Hanyu had shown him immense kindness, resolving his doubts and imparting his knowledge without reservation.

His current cave dwelling is a top-grade second-tier structure, with the spiritual energy valve fully open.

It is sufficient for the completion of foundational cultivation.

The techniques and spells such as [Divine Treasure of the Vast Ocean], [True Insight Ice Heart Technique], [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique], and [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] are all high-grade inheritances.

At this moment, after completely refining the Frost Snow Dragon, [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] broke through and advanced to the seventh revolution.

Equivalent to a mid-stage Golden Body Realm Body Refiner.

He possesses physical abilities such as the ability to change size at will, immense strength, sharp teeth, and the ability to devour anything.

With these additional strengths, defeating the Earth Bear King amidst the beast tide of Baijiazhai in hand-to-hand combat would be no problem at all.

That was a second-tier top-grade demonic beast; in terms of physical strength alone, it was the most powerful among the beast tides of Baijia Village.

Even when facing Nie Yong, a body refiner at the peak of the Golden Body Realm, Shen Xuan was full of confidence.

In particular, the [Size Ruyi] skill, once mastered, provides even more noticeable physical enhancement.

After using the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], he was already two zhang tall.

It actually grew by 50%, reaching a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

The power surged again by 30%.

In this way, Shen Xuan could threaten the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage with his physical strength alone.

The combination of "sharp teeth" and "devouring everything" creates a truly terrifying effect.

Let alone the physical body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even a top-grade magic weapon, Shen Xuan can now bite into it and devour its spiritual essence.

"Sigh, I wonder if I'll fall into the demonic path if I keep practicing like this!"

In Baijia Village, the fear that the Howling Moon Fox instilled in him was far too profound.

This made Shen Xuan feel a sense of crisis.

Even if it sweeps through the Foundation Establishment realm.

As long as the inner core hasn't condensed.

It would be very difficult to escape from a third-tier demon king.

Escaping from the Demon Ancestor's grasp will only become more difficult.

Currently, the Daoist sect, the Demonic sect, and the Demon race maintain a delicate balance.

They all abided by the agreement that the True Demon Ancestor and Demon King must not act rashly.

But as long as the situation changes even slightly.

Once the balance of power is broken.

This unwritten agreement will then be overturned.

By the time.

Even the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Before the real Demon Ancestor Demon King, he was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

They can be crushed at any time.

This is something Shen Xuan cannot tolerate.

"We still need to get stronger!"

After encountering the Howling Moon Fox, Shen Xuan changed his mind.

We will no longer hunt the Sky-Piercing Water Rhinoceros in the frozen lake.

That place is deep in the wilderness, near the inner perimeter.

There is a possibility that a third-tier demon king exists in the surrounding area.

Although the intelligence indicated that the chances of encountering a third-tier demon king were not high.

Shen Xuan didn't want to take any risks.

He first returned to his clan and completely refined the essence and blood of the Frost Snow Dragon and the Thunder Beast.

As he expected.

Even the second-tier superior grade of Thunder Beast essence blood cannot improve the quality of a spiritual root.

Upgrade [Thor's Wrath] to near perfection.

The more than 5,000 Daoist points obtained were added to the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique] and [Size Ruyi], allowing both to break through and enter the mastery stage.

Now, Shen Xuan has achieved success in cultivating the ice technique.

The Xuanbing Spirit Lotus within his body continuously strengthens the Dao Foundation and the essence of the spiritual sea.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword, refined by the Cold Jade Immortal's elixir essence, is unstoppable and indestructible.

There are also superior magic treasures like the "Map of Ten Thousand Waters of the Rivers and Seas," which enhance the power of water magic.

The body refinement technique has reached the mid-stage of the Golden Body Realm.

In addition, there are various bloodline talents and skills.

In addition, there are two [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Treasure Talismans] and one [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman] that have been nurtured to maturity.

The flying talisman array formed by the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

Thousands of Thunder Spirit Orbs.

Ice magic, body tempering, treasure talisman, talisman array, thunder spirit orb.

Shen Xuan possesses five powerful protective techniques.

In addition, there's the Lightning Release technique.

Shen Xuan estimated that his combat strength was enough to sweep through the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In the Foundation Establishment stage, the opponent must possess a heaven-defying magic weapon.

Otherwise, even someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment would not be his match.

"Unfortunately, his cultivation level is too low, only at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, which is insufficient to contend with a Pseudo-Core Formation True Person."

The False Core Formation True Person is a life form that has actually transcended the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The inner elixir has solidified into a tangible form.

However, the effect was not very good, and one could not cultivate or use supernatural powers, thus the path to enlightenment was cut off.

Nevertheless, the strength of the fake Core Formation cultivator far surpasses that of a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.

One against ten might be a little troublesome.

One can easily take on three or five opponents.

He deserves the respectful title of "True Person".

Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

With a cultivation level of the fourth stage of Foundation Establishment, it is already quite remarkable that one can simultaneously wield two magical treasures, the River and Sea Map and the Ice Soul Divine Sword.

These are top-grade and mid-grade magic treasures.

But Shen Xuan was still not satisfied.

As a time traveler who lacks a sense of security.

Shen Xuan is always trying to improve his own strength.

His mind was focused on the Purple Gold True Water Seal.
