Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 355 Pegasus Breakthrough (Seeking Subscriptions)

half a month later.

Sunset Lake in the Wilderness.

On the small island in the lake, the Purple Sacred Tree stands tall and majestic, its canopy reaching for the sky.

Right in the middle of the tree, a cultivator in green robes flew over.

It was Shen Xuan who rushed over to make the deal.

His deal with the Purple Essence Divine Tree Demon went very smoothly.

In Qingyang Prefecture, during the battle with the demonic cultivators, some of the spiritual water in the Jianghai Wanshui Map was depleted.

After the war ended, Shen Xuan continuously invested spirit stones to refine and replenish the thousand spirit stones.

During his trip to Qingyang Prefecture, he gained over 100,000 sect merits and over 300,000 spirit stones.

Fame and fortune.

The loss of only a hundred Thunder Spirit Pearls and several hundred cubic meters of spiritual water was a considerable profit.

He also made Lingxiao Zhenren owe him a favor.

"King Ziyun, do you possess the blood essence of a high-level water demon?"

After watching the Purple Essence Divine Tree drink up all the spiritual water from the River and Sea Water Map, Shen Xuan asked softly.

"I didn't!"

"Wasn't that little hook snake in the lake hunted down by you long ago?"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

really.

Even the Purple Essence Divine Tree of a third-tier great demon does not contain the essence blood of a high-grade water demon.

"Do you want a wood spirit or an earth spirit?"

"If you want, I can bring a few over for you."

"Never mind! Thank you, King Ziyun!"

Shen Xuan politely declined.

The monsters in the wilderness are mostly of the wood and earth attributes.

His rank is too low, so he's not of much use to him.

If the rank is high, such as a third-tier demon king, he would have to find a way to escape.

The Great Demon of the Purple Divine Tree would not help him.

Moreover, the favor of a third-tier great demon like the Purple Essence Divine Tree is not so easy to obtain.

After drinking the spiritual water from the Jianghai Wanshui Map, the Purple Essence Divine Tree shook off twelve spiritual branches.

This time, the number of spirit branches is even smaller, but the quality is significantly better.

Shen Xuan didn't say anything and silently put it away.

Previously, he had gifted nine inferior spiritual branches to his master, Master Gufeng.

Master Gufeng was overjoyed and invited Master Changchun, a third-level spiritual plant master, to set up a spiritual plant garden in the place with the richest spiritual energy on Little Lonely Peak.

Under the careful care of Master Changchun, two of the nine spiritual branches survived, one of which was still half-dead.

Nevertheless, both Master Gufeng and Master Changchun were overjoyed and took extra care of the Purple Cloud Tree.

They vowed to cultivate it into a unique third-tier sacred tree of Xiaogufeng.

This demonstrates the preciousness of the Purple Essence Divine Tree Branch.

Shen Xuan had only nine spirit branches left.

Two have already been used, branded into the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman], and nurtured in the dantian Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

Shen Xuan carefully stored these twelve higher-quality spiritual branches in a jade box.

Its value far exceeds the 600,000 spirit stones he invested in refining the thousand portions of spiritual water.

It can be used to craft Divine Thunder Talismans and also to trade other Tier 3 spiritual items.

As for planting and cultivating it into a third-tier divine tree, Shen Xuan politely declined.

He doesn't have that kind of patience.

By the time the Purple Essence Divine Tree's spiritual branches have fully grown, he doesn't even know how old he'll be.

"I understand, high-grade water sprite blood. Next time, if I have any, I'll save some for you."

"I am deeply grateful."

Shen Xuan bowed deeply.

"Heh, don't thank me too soon. It's an equal exchange. What good things are you going to offer me in exchange?"

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

"Your Majesty Ziyun, please speak freely. Anything I have can be used for trade."

"If I give you the blood of a third-tier water fairy, you must do something for me."

Shen Xuan asked cautiously, "This junior's skills are meager, and my magical abilities are shallow. I wonder if I can accomplish what King Ziyun has asked for?"

"you can!"

There seemed to be a hint of teasing in the voice of the Purple Sacred Tree.

"At most you'll lose an arm or a leg, or suffer some loss of vital essence, but it won't kill you."

Shen Xuan smiled bitterly.

That makes it sound like a very difficult task.

"There's no point in saying more; we'll talk about it later."

"Yes, junior, I obey."

Shen Xuan paused for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty Ziyun, I have a spirit beast that I wish to use the demonic energy veins of this island to break through to the second rank. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission."

The island in Luoxia Lake is a special spiritual vein of demonic energy, containing trace amounts of demonic energy that are beneficial to the growth of demonic beasts, making it more suitable for demonic beasts to break through.

"That little Pegasus? Whatever, just stay away from me and don't disturb my sleep!"

"Yes, this junior will not let it disturb King Ziyun."

Shen Xuan arrived at the lakeside of the island.

Release the Silver Horned Pegasus from the Spirit Beast Pouch.

He found a clean and tidy spot and sat down cross-legged.

The Silver Horned Pegasus galloped along the lake shore, its hooves pounding as it neighed excitedly.

Clearly, it sensed the special demonic spiritual energy here, its blood boiling and its spirits invigorated, knowing it was an excellent place for a breakthrough.

"Just run a few laps and come back, just to warm up."

Shen Xuan transmitted his thoughts to the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse, letting it gallop freely.

He had been training Silver Horn Pegasus for over a decade and had long been prepared for it.

The purchased bottles of Emperor's Elixir, his own [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], plus the demonized spiritual land of Luoxia Lake Island.

Silver Horn Pegasus's breakthrough was a natural outcome.

It will only take some time.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged on the lake shore.

They drew water from the lake into the Rivers and Seas Map, and then re-infused it with spirit stones to refine the spirit water.

three days later.

The Silver Horned Pegasus was cultivating and sensing on the shore.

A sound broke through the air.

A spaceship flew in rapidly.

"What a beautiful spirit horse!"

"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Wang, please help Yingying catch it!"

"Let's take Yingying home and raise her!"

On the spaceship stood three cultivators, one woman and two men, with a furnace embroidered on their sleeves.

"Disciple of Medicine God Valley?"

Shen Xuan frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Wu Wenping from Medicine God Valley. These two are my junior brother Wang Haibo and junior sister Li Yingying. May I ask their names?"

Wu Wenping asked cautiously.

"A rogue cultivator, Shen Ping'an."

Upon hearing the words "unaffiliated cultivator," Wu Wenping's expression visibly relaxed.

At this moment, Shen Xuan's aura clearly indicated that he was at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. However, as a rogue cultivator, he was not even as powerful as a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a small or medium-sized sect in the early stages.

Wang Haibo winked at Wu Wenping.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Is this celestial horse Fellow Daoist Shen's spirit beast?"

Wu Wenping asked calmly.

Luoxia Lake is located at the border between the Song and Liang dynasties.

The three of them were Foundation Establishment disciples of the Seven Sects of Medicine God Valley in the Song Kingdom.

Wu Wenping is at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, while Wang Haibo is at the fifth level.

Junior Sister Li Yingying is at the second level of Foundation Establishment and is a direct descendant of the True Person of Medicine God Valley.

They naturally looked down on ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"It is I."

"My junior sister really likes it, could you transfer it to us?"

Wu Wenping's words subtly revealed a hint of arrogance.

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

These disciples of the sect, relying on their background, are all arrogant and vain, with no sense of their own limitations!
He immediately wanted someone else's spirit beast!
What's the difference between calling it a purchase and extortion?
Shen Xuan glanced at Wu Wenping, Wang Haibo, and Li Yingying.

His gaze lingered on Wu Wenping for a few extra moments.

The aura emanating from this person was somewhat peculiar, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"You can't afford it."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, don't underestimate us! We are disciples of Medicine God Valley! Name your price!"

Wang Haibo interjected.

"Then let's trade her for her!"

Shen Xuan pointed at Li Yingying.

Wu Wenping's face darkened: "What is the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist Shen?"

That's the idea.

"Get out if you're not going to change it!"

Shen Xuan also spoke with a stern face and a cold voice.

So what if they're disciples of Medicine God Valley!

If it weren't for the fact that they were both among the seven clans of the Song state...

These three have already made their way to death.

In other words, Shen Xuan is kind-hearted, values ​​cause and effect, and doesn't kill indiscriminately.

If it were someone else...

With his strength, the three people before him would have perished long ago, their fortunes belonging to others.

Oh, no, Li Yingying might have survived.

Wipe away their intelligence, and they become slaves and servants.

"Never mind. Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Wang, Yingying should go and condense her spiritual body first."

"A Qi Refining Realm spirit beast, nothing special!"

Li Yingying spoke up at the right time, offering her two senior brothers a way out.

At this moment, Wu Wenping and Wang Haibo appeared to be furious.

In truth, I was also filled with apprehension.

I dared to venture alone into the wild wilderness and arrive at Luoxia Lake Island.

Even rogue cultivators should not be underestimated.

Knowing their identities, they still dared to speak so arrogantly, so their methods of protecting them must be quite formidable.

Otherwise, you're just asking for death.

At their level of cultivation, they are unwilling to start a war and fight to the death without absolute certainty.

"Forget it, let's not bother with him!"

"Junior sister likes celestial horses. We can go back to the Immortal City and pick one out."

Wu Wenping and Wang Haibo, singing in unison, escorted Li Yingying away sheepishly, heading towards the Purple Sacred Tree in the very center of the island.

Shen Xuan snorted coldly and did not stop him.

He is not the kind of person who holds grudges.

It was just a few words of verbal conflict; it wouldn't have escalated to physical violence.

Shen Xuan continued refining the Jianghai Wanshui Map.

Silver Horned Pegasus watched the three from Medicine God Valley warily, while nuzzling affectionately against Shen Xuan.

"understood!"

"Don't worry, it's alright!"

Shen Xuan gently comforted the Silver Horned Pegasus.

Use your keen observation skills to look around.

The three from Medicine God Valley went to the Purple Essence Divine Tree.

Li Yingying sat cross-legged, solidifying her spiritual body.

Wu Wenping and Wang Haibo protected her.

"I hope they know what's good for them and behave themselves!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Then, he activated the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique], and dozens of dark ice fish flew out.

Centered on him, layers of blue-green ice walls were set up within a thousand feet to block divine sense and visual observation.

Beneath the Purple Divine Tree, Wu Wenping and Wang Haibo were clearly taken aback by the sudden appearance of layers of blue-green ice walls.

"An ice mage?"

The two looked at each other, each feeling relieved.

Thankfully, I didn't act rashly.

Otherwise, even if we can kill the opponent and seize the Pegasus Spirit Beast,

The three of them on their side will also have to pay a price.

Shen Xuan ignored them.

He signaled to the Silver Horned Pegasus to unleash its demonic power and begin its attempt to break through to the second tier.

Shen Xuan personally protected it.

Soon, the Silver Horned Pegasus's aura stabilized, displaying its extraordinary steed-like prowess.

More than ten days later.

One night.

The moon is bright and clear.

"hiss"!
The Silver Horned Pegasus, which had been quietly cultivating, suddenly became excited and raised its head to roar.

The pure white moonlight descended from the sky and shone upon the silver-horned celestial horse.

A wisp of milky-white, bewitching energy swirled around the horse's body.

Sensing the surging demonic energy within its body, the Silver Horned Pegasus galloped along the lake shore.

The rich aquatic energy of Luoxia Lake gathered together, enveloping the Silver Horned Pegasus within.

At this moment, the body of the Silver Horned Pegasus began to mutate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The most obvious feature is the pair of snow-white wings that have grown on its back. They are several meters long, with feathers that shimmer with a metallic luster and are tough and powerful.

Then, starting from the head, the neck, chest, abdomen, hooves, and so on, it was as if a layer of old skin had been shed, and everything turned into a jade-white color.

The fur covering its body shimmered, as if it contained some kind of life evolutionary path, mysterious and profound.

At first glance, the Silver Horned Pegasus looked much more magnificent than before.

It flapped its wings, greedily absorbing the water's spiritual energy and the essence of the moonlight, occasionally letting out bursts of hissing sounds.

It seemed as if it was desperately trying to break free from some kind of constraint, yet it also seemed somewhat annoyed that it had never succeeded.

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

Breaking through to the next level is even more difficult for demonic beasts than for human cultivators; it's not something that can be done easily!
This silver-horned celestial horse, which was originally docile, became agitated at this moment.
