Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 338 A Storm is Brewing (Please Subscribe)

The Purple Gold True Water Seal is a spiritual artifact embryo, a replica of the True Water Divine Treasure.

Master Hanyu specially used his Xuanbing spiritual power to help Shen Xuan refine this treasure using a secret method.

According to Master Hanyu's estimate, it would have taken Shen Xuan ten years to fully refine the essence.

After she stepped in to help, it only took five or six years.

At this point, only one year had passed.

Shen Xuan's progress in refining the artifacts far exceeded Han Yu Zhenren's expectations.

"It will only take me two years to fully refine the Purple Gold True Water Seal."

This is the benefit of a sudden increase in strength.

The increase in spiritual power was not significant.

However, the spiritual soul, consciousness, and physical strength are greatly enhanced.

The progress of refining the Purple Gold True Water Seal naturally accelerated.

Based on this calculation, he should be able to break through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment in about two years.

With the help of the Jianghai Wanshui Map and its full potential, it should be able to barely activate the Zijin Zhenshui Seal.

It is estimated that it can only be driven two or three times.

But enough is enough.

This is a protective technique capable of countering a fake Core Formation cultivator.

Even if it only buys a few breaths of time.

The chances of escaping unscathed have greatly increased.

After refining the Purple Gold True Water Seal, Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

We can't go to the wilderness anymore.

The demon king there possesses astonishing power.

As a water mage, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed from encountering the demon king of the wilderness.

But in the vast ocean.

The situation is different.

His full potential can be realized.

Even a third-tier water demon.

Shen Xuan is empowered by water-related techniques such as [Water Control], [Water Repelling], [Water Escape], and [Overturning Rivers and Seas].

However, since the third-tier water demon he encountered was not a speed-type, he was still able to retreat unscathed.

Currently, Shen Xuan has everything: wealth, companionship, Taoism, and Dharma.

Hard work pays off, and you can simply follow the established procedures.

His current combat strength is already among the top in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It is unlikely that there will be a qualitative breakthrough in the short term.

The only thing to do is to work on one's cultivation level.

Think of this.

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

I wanted to make a good impression on Master Hanyu.

Using the pretext of sensing an opportunity, he made a trip to the Immortal City of the East Sea.

Diligent practice is necessary.

But he's a time traveler with a cheat code.

We definitely need to use our cheat codes to find shortcuts and find ways to obtain high-grade water fairy blood.

One cannot endure hardship without feeling self-satisfied, or simply believe that hard work is rewarded by heaven.

Shen Xuan immediately got up, intending to go and pay his respects to Master Hanyu.

Six months ago, he returned to Hanyu Peak.

He truthfully reported his experiences during his training trip to Master Hanyu.

When he heard that he had encountered the Demon King Xiaoyuehu, Master Hanyu was quite surprised.

"From now on, do not participate in beast tides!"

Shen Xuan immediately agreed.

However, after learning that Shen Xuan had inherited the Bai Family Village Body Refining Technique.

When he saw Shen Xuan transform into the form of the Frost Snow Dragon, True Person Hanyu was no longer calm.

At that time, Shen Xuan had not yet fully refined the essence blood of the Frost Dragon.

The Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation only occurs in the sixth revolution.

This has already made Master Hanyu visibly happy.

Clearly, the successful cultivation of the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] has enhanced Shen Xuan's physical combat strength, which will greatly benefit his continued improvement of the [True Heart Ice Heart Technique].

Master Hanyu earnestly instructed Shen Xuan to cultivate steadily, solidify his foundation, and not to be impatient for quick results.

Shen Xuan's progress in ice magic cultivation is three points faster than hers was back then.

Her physical strength far surpasses that of her back then.

Based on Master Hanyu's experience, as long as nothing unexpected happens along the way, Shen Xuan has a high chance of condensing his inner core.

It should be around 50% to 60%.

"Unfortunately, your Dao Foundation is only of medium grade, which is slightly inferior in quality."

Master Hanyu couldn't help but sigh.

If the Dao Foundation is of superior grade, the chances of this personally taught disciple condensing the Inner Core are about 70% to 80%.

"Master, rest assured! Your disciple is searching for a method to improve the quality of your Dao foundation, and I have already made some progress."

"Oh, tell me."

"I wonder if Master has ever heard of the Foundation Purification Pill?"

"I have heard of this pill; it does indeed have the effect of improving the quality of one's Dao foundation. However, this pill is expensive and requires long-term, large-volume, and continuous use to be effective."

Master Hanyu pondered for a moment and said, "In the entire Song Kingdom, only a few old alchemists from Medicine God Valley can refine the Foundation Purification Pill."

"Our Qingyun Sect and Medicine God Valley are almost at war. It's virtually impossible for them to sell the Foundation Purification Pill."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"Why should I bother with Medicine God Valley when I can refine it myself?"

Upon hearing this, Master Hanyu's eyes lit up.

She knew Shen Xuan's abilities.

They always have the ability to come up with unconventional ideas, find alternative paths, and forge a different way out.

Shen Xuan's previous efforts in developing the large furnace for alchemy and the lightning-summoning array brought enormous benefits to the sect.

As for Master Gufeng, he considered it to be her unique secret technique.

The other True Immortals of the Qingyun Sect all chuckled, knowing better but saying nothing.

Master Hanyu was initially unconvinced.

After she took Shen Xuan as her personal disciple.

He blended in with the world like other real people, no longer mocking those who were alone.

Shen Xuan then briefly recounted the story of Li Ruyi's meditation.

"Very good. Go ahead and do it."

"If you encounter any difficulties, please report them to me."

"I will stand up for you!"

Master Hanyu said with a smile.

"Disciple kowtows in gratitude to Master!"

With the promise of Han Yu Zhenren's full support, Shen Xuan felt much more at ease.

The Cold Jade Immortal and the Lonely Peak Immortal are different.

Master Gufeng comes from the prestigious Yang family, a renowned sect.

From a young age, he was regarded as a potential core-forming seed and nurtured with the full strength of the entire clan.

One should remain detached from worldly affairs and simply focus on spiritual practice.

Even though he was not proficient in any of the arts of cultivation, it did not prevent the Lone Peak Immortal from successfully condensing his true elixir.

Master Hanyu was originally a rogue cultivator.

Alone and unmatched, he slaughtered his way across the land.

Fight your way through the crowd.

After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill and successfully establishing his foundation, he joined the Qingyun Sect.

Of the thirteen peaks of Qingyun, there was originally no Hanyu Peak. Hanyu Zhenren's sect master was only a late-stage Foundation Establishment ice magic user.

Her ability to condense her inner core is the result of her personal efforts.

Lacking sufficient cultivation resources, she left her sect to hunt demons and monsters, earning sect merits and spirit stones.

Over the years, numerous battles have inevitably damaged the foundation of the Dao.

Even if one recovers, it will have some impact on the quality of one's spiritual foundation.

This also caused Master Hanyu to fail in his attempt to condense his inner elixir, resulting in only a true elixir.

He failed to achieve the Golden Elixir.

Without a family background or connections, they lack influence.

As an ice magic cultivator, True Person Hanyu's combat strength is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

He still did not hold real power in sect affairs.

Among the eighteen immortals of Qingyun, he ranks ninth.

This ranking order actually reflects the sect's status.

It is an important basis for sects to allocate cultivation resources.

"Shen Xuan, take a look at this."

Master Hanyu handed him an intelligence jade slip.

A brief scan with my divine sense.

Inside is information about Medicine God Valley's recent activities.

They not only frequently put pressure on the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect.

They are still openly contacting the Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect.

The conflict between the Daoist and Demonic factions on the border between Medicine God Valley and White Bone Sect has ceased.

It is said that if the other five sects of the Song Kingdom, including the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect, do not force the Qingyun Sect to abandon its alchemy furnace, the Medicine God Valley will have to switch allegiance to the Liang Kingdom.

He became the seventh major demonic sect in the Liang Kingdom.

"The Valley of Medicine Gods has already found a way to die!"

After reading it, Shen Xuan sighed softly.

"Oh! Tell me about it!"

Master Hanyu asked in confusion.

She has always been obsessed with cultivation and combat, and has neither been interested in nor deeply studied the intricacies between sects.

However, at this time, the Valley of Medicine Gods, which also belongs to the Seven Sects of the Song Kingdom, is involved.

Since it concerns the fate of the Qingyun Sect, Master Hanyu is certainly concerned.

"Master, the foundation of Medicine God Valley and the river that protects it is the art of refining pills."

"Now, the sect's large furnace is used for refining pills, and the protective river of Medicine God Valley has been completely destroyed."

"If Medicine God Valley were to back down, shrink its battle lines, and concede some benefits, it could still survive."

"Now they are unwilling to decline and are going all out, using the Demonic Sect to blackmail the six sects of the Song Kingdom."

"At this moment, it's not that our Qingyun Sect can't tolerate it. It's that the entire cultivation world of the Song Kingdom can't tolerate it!"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

With a flap of his wings, the Medicine God Valley of the Seven Sects of Song Kingdom will face the calamity of extinction.

A young child carrying gold walks through a bustling marketplace.

Previously, the six rulers of the Song Kingdom needed the Medicine God Valley to refine elixirs for them.

Even if the price is higher, when there is no other choice, one can only reluctantly accept it.

Nowadays, the elixirs from Medicine God Valley are inferior to those from Qingyun Sect in both quality and price, and are completely uncompetitive.

Instead of devising a solution, Medicine God Valley lowered the price of its elixirs and improved their quality to enhance their competitiveness.

Instead, they attempted to use the demonic forces to their advantage, forcing the other five sects to join in suppressing the Qingyun Sect.

After weighing the pros and cons, the other five sects of the Song Kingdom will surely join forces with the Qingyun Sect to divide up the spiritual land, inheritance, talents, and resources of the Medicine God Valley.

As for the Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect, at most they secretly support the Medicine God Valley.

We will absolutely not start a full-scale war with the Song Dynasty's Daoist sect because of Medicine God Valley.

The two sects, Dao and Demon, are evenly matched, neither possessing an absolute advantage that can overwhelm the other, thus both will try to avoid escalating the Dao-Demon War.

The internal strife within the Song Dynasty was welcomed by the Demonic Sect of the Liang Kingdom.

Incidentally, we will also receive a portion of the inheritance, talent, and resources of Medicine God Valley.

all in all.

Medicine God Valley was served on the dining table.

Not only were its leaders unaware of this, they also fantasized about turning against their own sect and restoring its original status.

Absolutely impossible!

Shen Xuan remained calm, his mind clear as a mirror.

He then analyzed the pros and cons for Master Hanyu.

"I see!"

Master Hanyu suddenly realized.

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Shen Xuan held a newfound appreciation.

He truly is a gifted individual.

No wonder the sect leader once suspected that Shen Xuan was the reincarnation of a great power.

In such a complex situation, Shen Xuan was able to unravel the complexities and get straight to the heart of the matter with just a few words.

In fact, this kind of change in the situation.

Shen Xuan had seen too much in his previous life.

The relationships between sects are similar to those between kingdoms in the previous world.

Sect interests determine foreign policy.

The alchemy techniques of the Qingyun Sect have benefited a great many spiritual farmers and cultivators.

The only one whose interests were harmed was Medicine God Valley, which monopolized the price of elixirs.

As long as the Qingyun Sect is willing to share some benefits, all the cultivation forces in the Song Kingdom will stand on the side of the Qingyun Sect.

Medicine God Valley was completely unaware of the destructive power of this crisis.

The fact that the elixir has lost its competitiveness is enough to destroy the very foundation of Medicine God Valley.

This is the tragedy of technical sects.

Lacking a strategic vision, they quietly succumbed to complacency within their comfort zone.

When the times abandoned him, they didn't even say goodbye.

Even now, Medicine God Valley has no idea that they've already been put on the dinner table.

They still thought they were the people sitting at the table of honor.

"However, there are reclusive true masters in Medicine God Valley, so they won't fall so quickly."

"Furthermore, you should not go out at this time."

Master Hanyu gave earnest instructions.

"The Valley of Medicine Gods knows of your existence."

"If the situation deteriorates, your life may be in danger if you are alone abroad."

It is an agreement during peacetime that real people should not act arbitrarily.

If a major sect war were to break out, and the fate of the sects were at stake, Medicine God Valley would not be able to abide by this agreement.

Shen Xuan, the instigator, is definitely Medicine God Valley's number one target.

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

He knew that a sword has two edges, and everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

They offered him a large furnace to refine elixirs, thus opening a path for his advancement.

This also brought endless trouble.

"Master, this disciple needs high-grade water demon blood to refine my body."

Shen Xuan looked at Han Yu Zhenren with anticipation.

He figured it out.

Since it is difficult for them to hunt.

Ask Master Hanyu directly for it.

In any case, his master had shown him immense kindness.

I might as well owe you more.
