Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 350 Breakthrough in Realm (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan stayed in Shangguan Yan'er's bedroom for ten days.

During those ten days, he displayed his prowess and roamed freely.

After three years of patient endurance, it erupted in a concentrated burst.

The pink soft bed in the bedroom shook so hard it almost fell apart several times.

halfway.

Shangguan Yan'er was extremely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep several times.

Upon waking, I was met with yet another storm.

Fortunately, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, young, and had a strong recovery ability.

That's how they managed to endure it.

even so.

Shangguan Yan'er was still sore all over and too tired to move.

That morning, Shen Xuan put on his blue robe.

"Shen Lang, are you leaving?"

"Yes, it's time to return to the clan."

Shen Xuan kissed Shangguan Yan'er's pretty face.

"Yan'er did a good job."

"I will come again when I have time."

Shen Xuan smiled and praised.

Shangguan Yan'er had just been moisturized and looked radiant.

Even though her body was exhausted, her eyes still sparkled with tender love.

"Shen Lang, when will you come again?"

Shen Xuan pondered for a while.

"Yan'er, be good, listen to me."

"I am about to break through, and I need to devote myself to cultivation."

The subtext of his words was that he wanted Shangguan Yan'er to stop being too clingy.

"I see. Very well. Congratulations, Yan'er! May your path to enlightenment be bright, and your cultivation reach new heights!"

Shangguan Yan'er's eyes dimmed slightly, then she smiled sweetly and said.

As the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yan'er was exceptionally intelligent and quickly understood Shen Xuan's meaning.

From beginning to end, Shen Xuan only regarded her as an intimate bed partner.

He didn't want to spend his life with her.

To consider forming a Daoist partnership is nothing but wishful thinking.

However, Shangguan Yan'er was mentally prepared for this.

The two individuals have vastly different social statuses.

If it were her, putting herself in his shoes, as a prodigy of her sect, she would also be unwilling to marry a female cultivator from a declining family.

Anyway, Shen Xuan is still single.

She is still young and has plenty of time to slowly win Shen Xuan's heart.

Shangguan Yan'er did not persist.

After a light kiss, she let Shen Xuan leave.

She was exhausted after those ten days.

Shen Xuan's physical body is too powerful.

Like a tireless wild beast, its attacks were relentless.

"We need to change the bed!"

The pink bed in the bedroom fell apart several times and had to be reassembled.

Shangguan Yan'er's delicate body was overwhelmed by the impact.

Even so, she could still vaguely sense it.

Shen Xuan had held back his strength.

We stopped several times to slow down the pace.

Thinking back on the ten days, Shen Xuan had all sorts of incredible ideas and put them into action.

Shangguan Yan'er's delicate face couldn't help but blush, feeling shy in her heart.

Fortunately, this was a secret between her and Shen Xuan.

"Shen Lang should be satisfied with Yan'er, right?"

Shangguan Yan'er slowly closed her eyes and drifted into a gentle sleep.

……

Two months later.

Inside the training room of Shen Xuan's cave on Hanyu Peak.

"Ten years have passed, and I have finally broken through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment."

Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, sensing the changes in his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

For ordinary cultivators, breaking through a small stage in the Foundation Establishment realm doesn't bring about significant changes; generally, it only increases the capacity of the spiritual sea by about 20%.

Using spells and wielding magical artifacts will not significantly increase power.

The main purpose is to increase battery life.

However, it was different for Shen Xuan.

The capacity of the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea increased by 30%.

This also means that he can nurture another [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] without depleting his basic source spiritual power.

In addition, his main cultivation techniques and spells, such as the Divine Treasure Ocean Technique and the True Ice Heart Technique, as well as his many innate skills, such as the Size As You Wish, can all be further improved.

For him, breaking through even a small hurdle can double his strength.

Moreover, Shen Xuan felt that this breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Realm was without any bottlenecks, and it was a natural progression.

"Is it because of cultivating the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation]?"

"Is it because he refined the essence blood of the Tiger-Faced Flood Dragon, a descendant of a third-tier divine dragon?"

What many cultivators consider extremely difficult challenges to overcome, Shen Xuan found effortless and unperturbed.

"Therefore, the next sixth level of Foundation Establishment, or even the seventh level of Foundation Establishment (a minor realm), will not be too difficult for me."

Shen Xuan sensed the changes in his dantian, Dao Foundation, and Spiritual Sea.

Especially the Mystic Ice Spirit Lotus.

The patterns on the surface of the lotus petals became clearer.

The entire lotus plant became brighter in color, and the emerald green within its crystal-clear appearance became even more vibrant.

"With my current strength, plus the three Divine Thunder Talismans, I should be able to escape safely even if I encounter a fake Core Formation cultivator."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

His physical combat strength should be slightly stronger than that of a fake Core Formation cultivator.

However, in terms of spiritual power, soul, and consciousness, he is only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, far from being a pseudo-Core Formation True Person.

If he were to truly fight a fake Core Formation cultivator, Shen Xuan would use all his abilities, relying on the Divine Thunder Talisman and his physical talent skills, and should be able to save his life.

Let's take another look at the mysterious jade talisman.

【Shouyuan: 118/258】

His lifespan increased by three years.

not bad.

Based on this calculation, when Shen Xuan completes his Foundation Establishment, he will have a lifespan of approximately 280 years.

"If I have the chance, I'll plunder another spirit turtle's life-extending talent and upgrade it to perfection."

However, this cannot be rushed.

According to Shen Xuan's idea, the spirit turtle should ideally be a third-tier water demon with a strong Xuanwu bloodline.

"Ah, if only I had an inexhaustible supply of third-tier water sprite blood!"

A portion of Tiger-faced Flood Dragon's essence blood transformed Shen Xuan.

With another portion of such third-tier essence blood, Shen Xuan would break through the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] to the ninth revolution, becoming a Dharma Aspect Realm Body Refiner. This would be enough to contend with a Pseudo-Core Formation True Person.

At the Foundation Establishment stage, they are virtually invincible.

However, his wishful thinking was destined to be in vain.

Shen Xuan later asked Master Gufeng to investigate.

In the sect's treasury, there are also two portions of third-tier demon beast blood essence.

Neither of them are water-related.

Even if the Sect Master, the Lost Traces True Man, were willing to hand it over.

It had limited effect on him.

At this point.

Shen Xuan could no longer change his cultivation method to one with other attributes.

It's a waste of resources, energy, and time, and not worth the effort.

Master Gufeng told him.

The human race and the demon race have been at peace for many years.

The stock of monster essence blood of tier 3 and above is very limited.

There may still be some other major clans in the Song state.

But they won't easily put them up for trading.

Shen Xuan had no choice but to temporarily abandon the collection of the third-tier water demon's blood.

It's too difficult.

Comparatively speaking, hunting down a second-tier high-grade water demon is his more realistic goal in the near future.

A second-tier top-grade water demon is equivalent to a human at the peak of Foundation Establishment or a seed for Core Formation.

Most of the second-tier top-grade demonic beasts on land are under the protection of third-tier demonic kings.

"Perhaps, we should go and take a look at the East China Sea?"

Compared to land, the sea monsters in the deep sea are more numerous and of higher quality.

Moreover, unlike land-based monsters, they don't have a strong sense of territory or protection.

Even a second-tier top-grade water demon can be hunted at will.

Of course, the risks are also significant.

The deep sea is not conducive to human cultivators casting spells, greatly reducing their strength, and they are basically no match for water demons of the same level.

Moreover, the deep sea is too vast, and there are too many powerful water monsters, including countless third-tier demon kings.

The demon king of the deep sea is different from that of the land.

The vast majority are loners and have fierce temperaments.

They will not abide by the agreement that the Demon King must not act without authorization.

Anything that enters its territory, whether it is a demon beast or a cultivator, is a delicious meal in its eyes.

Even the most skilled cultivators, including those who possessed the Golden Elixir of Water, were unwilling to fight the Demon King in the deep sea.

"However, I am the special one."

After Shen Xuan unleashed the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], his body transformed into a serpent form, making him well-suited to exert his combat power in the deep sea.

On land, Shen Xuan would have no choice but to flee in defeat if he faced a fake Core Formation cultivator.

But in the deep sea, Shen Xuan was 99% confident that he could beat the fake Core Formation cultivator to death.

Now, Shen Xuan's cultivation is so advanced that it takes him ten years to break through even a small barrier.

Without sufficient cultivation resources, it's unknown how many years it would take to cultivate before attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Same as the Qi Refining stage.

When attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage, the younger the age and the more vigorous the Qi and blood, the greater the chance of success.

Shen Xuan was now wealthy and had no shortage of spirit stones.

However, cultivation spiritual items of the second rank or higher are strictly controlled by all major sects.

Even with spirit stones, it's impossible to buy.

As for cultivation spirits above the third rank.

Judging from the sect's treasury, it is extremely rare; every piece used reduces the remaining supply.

They are all prepared for the formation of the Golden Core seed.

"Let's take it one step at a time. First, solidify our cultivation level, then we'll seek help from Master Hanyu."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

……

A month later.

Shen Xuan solidified his realm and paid homage to the Immortal Hanyu.

Inquire about the covert conflict between the Qingyun Sect and the Medicine God Valley.

Master Hanyu took out a special jade slip for Masters and let him examine it himself.

At this time, the Qingyun Sect had been using its giant furnace for alchemy for three years.

The five giant furnaces could produce everything from the Yellow Cultivation Pill (for mid-stage Qi Refining) and the Yellow Dragon Pill (for late-stage Qi Refining) to the Spirit Gathering Pill (for early-stage Foundation Establishment), the True Essence Pill (for mid-stage Foundation Establishment), and the Spirit Solidification Pill (for late-stage Foundation Establishment).

The cultivation families affiliated with the Qingyun Sect all embarked on large-scale construction projects, planting spiritual pills and medicinal herbs.

In just three years.

The Qingyun Sect became the leading alchemy sect in the Song Kingdom, supplying 70% of the spiritual pills for all cultivators in the kingdom.

Medicine God Valley plummeted.

Even with price reductions, they still can't compete with the Qingyun Sect.

No matter how much Medicine God Valley lowers its prices, Qingyun Sect follows suit.

For example, the price of the Qi Cultivation Pill for the mid-stage of Qi Refining was halved by the Qingyun Sect.

They overwhelmed Yaoshen Valley, leaving them powerless to retaliate.

Who would have thought.

The Qingyun Sect rose to prominence through its alchemy skills.

In just three years, they seized the market for elixirs from Medicine God Valley.

Fortunately, the other five sects, including the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect, finally made their move.

Under the combined pressure of the five sects, the Qingyun Sect had no choice but to negotiate.

After several tugs of the tongue and heated exchanges,

For the common interests of the seven sects of the Song Kingdom, the Qingyun Sect compromised and renegotiated the alliance with the Medicine God Valley.

The two groups will no longer engage in a price war, and all elixirs will be restored to 90% of their original price.

The True Essence Pills and Spirit Strengthening Pills for the mid and late stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm are not to be sold to outsiders by the Qingyun Sect and are only for the use of the sect's disciples.

This is equivalent to returning the market share of Zhenyuan Dan and Guyuan Dan to Yaoshengu.

The best-selling Spirit Gathering Pill is controlled by the Qingyun Sect.

Medicine God Valley severed ties with the Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect and firmly stood on the side of the Song Kingdom's Daoist Sect.

Of course, the other five sects wouldn't have contributed for nothing.

The Qingyun Sect accepts the cooperation of the other five sects in alchemy, only charging 10% of the processing fee as compensation for labor.

Under the joint witness of the five sect leaders, the leaders of Qingyun Sect and Yaoshen Valley established a blood pact and shook hands to make peace.

In the end, the Qingyun Sect won the market for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage elixirs, achieving a great victory.

The five sects of the Song Kingdom acquired Foundation Establishment Realm Elixirs at a low price.

Medicine Valley barely survived by clinging to its market share of True Essence Pills and Solid Essence Pills.

Although the vital energy was greatly damaged, it was still able to retain some benefits and protect the fourth-order spiritual vein.

After reading the jade slip containing intelligence exclusive to real people.

Shen Xuan thought to himself, "As long as the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Medicine God Valley is alive, the other six sects of Song Kingdom must leave room for Medicine God Valley."

The highest-level combat power is the foundation of any cultivation force.

If it weren't for the Nascent Soul True Monarch, Medicine God Valley would have long been divided up by the other six sects of Song and the Demonic Sect of Liang.

"Master, now that the two sects have made peace, may I venture out to seek opportunities?"
