Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 339 Sect Competition (Seeking Subscriptions)

The blessed land of Hanyu Peak.

Master Hanyu asked softly, "What grade of water spirit blood do you want?"

"Second-tier superior grade or above".

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and added a sentence.

"Third-tier would be even better, of course."

He hasn't tried the blood of the Three Demon Water Fairy yet.

In terms of enhancing spiritual root aptitude, plundering bloodline talent skills, and acquiring Daoist essence, the effects of third-tier water demon essence blood are definitely better.

"Yes, I understand."

Looking at Shen Xuan's expectant expression.

Master Hanyu seemed slightly embarrassed.

"I do not have the blood of a water sprite."

Shen Xuan asked cautiously, "Master, can you think of a way?"

"This disciple can use third-tier spirit wood for trading."

"You have third-tier spirit wood? Let me see it."

Shen Xuan took out six Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branches.

This is the most valuable spiritual item he possesses related to cultivation.

Shen Xuan used one of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans to make two more, leaving two as spares.

Anyway, in a few years, he can go to Luoxia Lake again and exchange the Jianghai Wanshui Tu Shiyuan Qianfang Lingfang with the Ziyun Divine Wood Demon.

"The Purple Essence Divine Tree branch is indeed a third-tier spiritual tree."

The Cold Jade Immortal returned it to Shen Xuan.

"It will be very difficult to trade this item for the blood of a third-tier water sprite."

“The senior brothers themselves are short of it and are unwilling to put it out for trade.”

"Second-tier superior water fairy blood, I'll try to ask if I can get some."

Shen Xuan bowed and said, "This disciple thanks Master."

He understood it in his heart.

Actually, it's just that the value of the Purple Essence Divine Tree Spirit Branch is not high enough.

It's not enough to exchange for a Tier 3 Water Fairy Blood from a real person.

Even with the intervention of Master Hanyu, he could only obtain some second-tier water demon blood.

This solved his immediate problem.

Master Hanyu pondered for a moment.

"Shen Xuan."

"The disciple is here."

"I just remembered something. Two months from now, the sect will organize a small competition for Foundation Establishment disciples."

"Those who rank highly will be rewarded and can exchange their merits for cultivation items from the sect's treasury."

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

"A minor sect competition?"

Most of the more than 300 Foundation Establishment disciples of the Qingyun Sect are on the front lines of the Dao-Demon Battlefield, assisting Core Formation seedlings in their training.

Master Hanyu explained, "Our Song Kingdom's Daoist sect and Liang Kingdom's Demonic sect will cease hostilities for a period of time."

Does this work too?
Shen Xuan understood.

Both the Daoist and Demonic sects require the formation of a nascent soul and the return of the nascent soul to their respective sects for evaluation of their training results.

Then, select the best-performing Core Formation seeds and increase resource investment for their focused cultivation.

The war between the Dao and the Demon on the border between the two countries has lasted for more than a decade.

It's almost time for the second half.

"The sect's minor competition has been planned by the sect leader for many years."

"The results of the Foundation Establishment disciples' small competition are directly linked to the rankings of each peak."

"Hanyu Peak only has one direct disciple, Liu Bingyu, so there was no need for them to participate in the sect's minor competition."

Master Hanyu looked at Shen Xuan with a smile on his face.

"However, at that time, you had not yet become my disciple."

"The situation is different now."

Shen Xuan asked, "Master wants me to participate in the sect's minor competition?"

"Exactly. We not only want to participate, but we want to achieve the best ranking."

The eyes of the Cold Jade Immortal gleamed.

She seemed to see the magnificent scene when Shen Xuan made a name for himself and overwhelmed all others in the sect's minor competition.

Many of her senior classmates praised and envied her.

Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment.

"Master, this disciple is only at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment."

"How can one possibly defeat a disciple of a sect who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage and is a Golden Core cultivator!"

Compared to the so-called sect competition, Shen Xuan cared more about his own cultivation.

He plans to break through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment within two years.

Sect competitions can last for months, which is a waste of time.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"I know your strength."

"Enough to rival a sect's Foundation Establishment Perfected Golden Core direct disciple."

Master Hanyu changed the subject.

"The sect's treasury must contain the essence blood of high-grade demonic beasts."

"If you do well in the competition, you might be able to exchange it for a third-tier water fairy blood."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan immediately perked up.

Tier 3 Water Fairy Blood!

With his abilities, he absolutely could not hunt and obtain it.

Even if they wanted to make a deal, they wouldn't have the necessary assets.

Master Hanyu explained it very clearly.

Even the true disciples of the sect are lacking the essence blood of third-tier demon beasts.

"Considering the differences in cultivation levels among the disciples, the sect leader has decided to adopt a group competition format for the sect's minor competition."

"The late stage of Foundation Building and the Perfection stage are the Seed Group."

"The early and middle stages of foundation building are the preparatory stage."

"With your abilities, you are sure to win the championship in the reserve group. There is no need to hold back."

"I hope you will live up to my expectations and win the championship."

Speaking of which.

Shen Xuan quickly bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Master."

"I will do my utmost to win the championship in the preliminary group competition."

The highest cultivation level among the members of the preparatory group was only the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Winning the championship was not a difficult task for him.

It can bring glory to one's master, reward one with high-grade spiritual items for cultivation, and also make a windfall.

Shen Xuan was more than willing to accept such a good opportunity.

"The eighteen masters of the Qingyun Sect also have their own competition and differences."

"The essence of power is the allocation of resources."

"It seems that Master Hanyu's status in the sect is not as glamorous as it appears."

Shen Xuan knew this in his heart.

Master Hanyu has no noble family background.

He was originally a rogue cultivator.

Even if their combat power is astonishing, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.

It is also difficult to gain real power within the Qingyun Sect.

This way.

The cultivation resources allocated to True Person Hanyu were relatively scarce.

But one must reach the level of a True Person who has reached the Core Formation stage.

Unless there is a sect mission, they will not go out to hunt demons and monsters.

The cultivation resources allocated by the sect are extremely important to all the True Immortals.

Furthermore, most True Immortals are proficient in more than one cultivation technique. True Immortal Hanyu, like him, is skilled in talisman making.

Occasionally, Master Hanyu would also create some third-tier ice talismans to trade and sell, supplementing his cultivation needs.

Only a prodigy from a prestigious family like Master Gufeng could calmly focus on cultivation and advance all the way to the Core Formation Realm without any special skills.

Then they rely on the resources allocated by the sect to make a living, living off their savings until they run out.

Xiao Gufeng's general affairs department has accumulated countless debts.

Sect competition.

It appears to be a test of the cultivation progress of Foundation Establishment disciples.

In reality, it is an assessment of the effectiveness of a master's training of his personally taught disciples.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples rarely achieve good rankings and are merely there to make up the numbers.

Shen Xuan never cared about the empty fame of showing off.

However, if you have the blood of a third-tier water fairy, then it's a different story.

Shen Xuan would do everything in his power to obtain such rare spiritual treasures for cultivation, even if there was only the slightest possibility.

Who knows when he will have the chance to obtain it?

Moreover, it can bring glory to the master and secure benefits for Hanyu Peak.

It was just a small thing I did on a whim.

Seeing that Shen Xuan agreed to participate in the sect's minor competition and promised to win the championship.

Master Hanyu nodded in satisfaction.

"The sect competition is organized by the Enforcement Hall. You can check the specific rules at the Enforcement Hall."

"Prepare well, and don't disappoint me."

……

"In accordance with the rules, the first sect competition will rank each Foundation Establishment disciple who participates in the competition."

"The ten disciples with the best performance in the competition between the two groups can enter the sect's treasury to exchange for a high-grade spiritual item or cultivation technique. The top one hundred in each group will also receive a reward!"

So many people are being rewarded?
Shen Xuan was slightly surprised when he looked at the rules of the sect's minor competition.

The entire Qingyun Sect has only a little over three hundred Foundation Establishment disciples.

Even if all applicants register, the reward coverage exceeds 50%.

Especially the Core Formation Seed Group.

There are only a little over one hundred people in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and the peak stage of Foundation Establishment.

Almost everyone got a share.

Let's look at the reward items.

It was not listed.

Exchange points earned in the competition from the sect's treasury.

Points may not be transferred without authorization.

"The person with the highest score can exchange it for a third-tier spiritual item or the inheritance of a Core Formation technique."

Upon seeing this explanation, Shen Xuan became excited.

He already possesses the inheritance of the Core Formation technique, so there's no need to worry about it.

Does the term "third-tier spiritual item" include the blood essence of a third-tier water demon?

Master Hanyu's background within the sect is not strong enough, so it's difficult to inquire about him.

But Master Gufeng is capable!

The attitude of Master Lingxiao of the Enforcement Hall towards Master Gufeng is incredibly good!

Shen Xuan pondered for a while.

I still couldn't contain my excitement.

Go directly to Little Lonely Peak to pay homage to the Lonely Peak Master.

Ask her for help inquiring about the rewards for the sect's minor competition.

"You're going to represent Hanyu Peak in the sect's minor competition?"

"Junior Sister Hanyu, you're quite the schemer!"

Master Gufeng still felt somewhat resentful about Master Hanyu's request.

His words inevitably revealed a hint of bitterness.

"Master, this matter is of utmost importance to your disciple!"

Shen Xuan bowed and said.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of this small matter for you!"

"Wait here in the cave for a moment, I'll be right back!"

The Lone Peak Immortal transformed into a beam of seven-colored divine light and flew away from the blessed land.

Seeing that Master Gufeng had disappeared.

Gu Jinqin, who was standing to the side, approached with a smile.

"Senior brother, are you going to participate in the sect's minor competition?"

"Yes, Junior Sister Gu is participating too?"

"Of course! There's a reward!"

Gu Jinqin lowered her voice.

"Senior brother, let's go find Xu Shaopeng of the Purple Qi Alliance and pull off a big heist."

"it's not good!"

Shen Xuan feigned hesitation.

Although, this was originally part of his plan.

It's far better to have someone from a prestigious family like Gu Jinqin handle things than to do it yourself.

If trouble arises, these disciples from sects and aristocratic families will take the lead.

"What's wrong!"

"Tell my junior sister, what are the chances that I, your senior brother, am going to win the championship?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"This matter is of great importance; we will discuss it in detail when we return."

"Alright!"

Gu Jinqin knew that this was not the right time to discuss this matter.

Previously, Xiaogufeng had a deficit in its general affairs.

Master Gu Feng Zhenren turned a blind eye and let her run wild.

Today, Xiaogufeng is famous and prosperous.

Gu Jinqin, who was in charge of the general affairs of Xiaogufeng, became the focus of attention for many people.

Gu Jinqin, on the contrary, could no longer act recklessly.

Not long after.

Master Gufeng returned to his blessed land.

He now had an extra jade slip containing a reward item.

"Senior Brother Lingxiao instructed that this must not be revealed to outsiders."

"Take a look first. I'll return it to Senior Brother Lingxiao later!"

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense.

Pure Foundation Pill: Continuous use can improve the quality of one's Dao foundation.

The Golden Light Talisman: A flash of golden light, and one can flee ten thousand miles away.

The Seven Deadly Thunder Killing Formation: It draws divine thunder from heaven and earth, capable of blasting away fake Core Formation cultivators.

Enlightenment Pill: Enters a state of sudden enlightenment, senses the evolution of the universe and the great Dao, and enhances comprehension.

Snow Lotus Spirit Tea: Can enhance spiritual root aptitude; specific effects vary from person to person.

……

So many good things!

Seeing the spiritual items awarded as prizes in the sect's minor competition, Shen Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

These spiritual treasures for cultivation are rarely made available to the public.

Even sect contribution points can't be exchanged.

The lowest grade is only second-tier high-grade.

Shen Xuan continued to scan with his divine sense.

He soon found his ideal target.

Tiger-faced Flood Dragon Essence: A third-tier water-attribute monster, said to be a descendant of the ancient divine beast Tiger-Flood Dragon.
