Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 370 Clan Heads' Fierce Battle (Seeking Subscriptions)
Inside Tianxiang Pavilion.

Top floor VIP room.

Shen Xuan directly took out 250,000 spirit stones to purchase top-tier intelligence on the Wei family of White Crane Island, the Lu family of Azure Dragon Island, and the Zhang family of Cloud Dream Island.

Although the price is high, it is worth the money.

It contains specific information about three fake alchemists.

Realms, cultivation techniques, magical treasures, lifespan, and so on.

If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him.

Knowing himself and his enemy, Shen Xuan's chances of escaping safely from these three fake Core Formation cultivators increased slightly.

Under Wanmeng's questioning gaze, Shen Xuan picked up the three intelligence jade slips, turned around, and left without looking back.

From beginning to end, Shen Xuan didn't glance at Wanmeng even once.

He did not show any intimacy with Wanmeng.

Not to mention the power to manipulate events.

This surprised Wanmeng greatly.

She thought Shen Xuan was playing hard to get.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan was genuinely unwilling to accept the offer of no payment.

Wanmeng was completely baffled.

She once doubted her own appearance and charm.

Subsequently, Wanmeng used a clever trick to seduce several sect disciples who were playing in Tianxiang Pavilion.

They were all easily won over, and eagerly fell at her feet.

"It's not that I'm not charming enough, it's that the guy has a problem!"

How could she know.

Shen Xuan was experienced and had long since lost his allure to beautiful women.

Wanmeng looked as beautiful as an angel, charming and captivating.

Shen Xuan remained completely unmoved.

"Who is he?"

As a cultivation organization that specializes in buying and selling information, Tianxiang Pavilion has absolutely no information about such a person.

This left Wanmeng feeling uncertain and uneasy.

……

After the auction ended, the cultivators from the vicinity gradually left Weihai Immortal City.

Shen Xuan found a secluded place and restored his original appearance.

We rested for the night at the sect's inn.

As agreed, they arrived at the port of Xiancheng in Weihai and boarded the Wei family's warship.

"Master Shen, you're back!"

Wei Yating leaped to Shen Xuan like a joyful little deer.

A radiant smile radiated from her face, and her joy was inadvertently revealed.

A gleam of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "You're back!"

"Master Shen, could you take a look at Ya Ting's newly purchased alchemy furnace? Is it suitable for her?"

Wei Yating presented a small, first-tier water-based alchemy furnace as if it were a treasure.

Shen Xuan took it, channeled his spiritual energy, and circulated it around the water-based alchemy furnace.

"It's good, you'll find it useful."

"Really? That's great!"

Wei Yating's eyes were clear as water.

"Can Ya-ting use this to refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill?"

"can."

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

For an instant.

Wei Yating's pretty face blossomed like a flower.

Full of joy, her face flushed crimson, radiant and captivating.

"Master Shen, my name is Wei Xinghong."

Hearing the voice behind her, Wei Yating blushed, lowered her head, and quietly retreated.

"I, Shen, have met Fellow Daoist Wei."

Both were Foundation Establishment cultivators and considered each other equals.

"Yating is still young and doesn't know any better. Please forgive her, Master Shen."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, you flatter me. The little girl is innocent, lively, and adorable."

The two exchanged veiled insults.

One said it was immature, the other said it was cute.

In any case, Shen Xuan's meaning was very clear.

He treated Wei Yating as a junior.

There was no romantic feeling between them.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xinghong nodded.

"Is everyone here?"

"We're all here!"

"Alright, let's set sail and head back!"

The Wei family's warships slowly departed from the port.

……

However, the Wei family's warships had not sailed far when they were blocked by an even more imposing warship.

Upon closer inspection, a battle flag bearing the character "陆" (Lu) was flying on the warship.

It was the Lu family warship from Canglong Island.

Clearly, the other side came prepared.

The head of the Lu family led the elites of his clan, standing on the deck and transmitting his voice to the Wei family's warship.

"Brother Wei, it's been many years! Please show yourself!"

The head of the Wei family slowly walked onto the deck of the warship and faced the head of the Lu family.

Both of them had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and had been engaged in open and covert struggles for many years, knowing each other inside and out.

He felt a burning urge to tear the other person to pieces.

A smile still graced his face.

"Patriarch Lu, it's been a while since we last met, but your charm remains unchanged. Hehe!"

"I don't deserve Brother Wei's high praise!"

The head of the Lu family looked up at the gate of Weihai Immortal City.

Over there, a fake True Immortal stood on the city wall, coldly looking down.

Even after leaving the port of Weihai Xiancheng, the two warships are not allowed to fight privately within a radius of 100 li of Weihai Xiancheng.

"Brother Wei, I have some questions about my cultivation recently. Could you please take some time to enlighten me?"

The onlookers were all stunned.

The head of the Lu family directly challenged the head of the Wei family!

Right here at Weihai Xiancheng Port, right under the nose of the fake Dan Zhenren!
The Wei family head's expression changed.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was difficult for the Wei family head to refuse the Lu family head's challenge.

Just now, at the auction, in a contest of financial resources, the Wei family had already lost a round.

If they back down again, the Wei family's influence will be greatly diminished.

For cultivation families, reputation is of utmost importance.

If we keep giving in...

Others will only think that the Wei family is weak and no match for the Lu family.

It will be even more difficult for the Wei family to unite the smaller families in the Dongshan Sea area to fight against the Lu family of Canglong Island.

"Since Patriarch Lu is in such high spirits, I, Wei, will certainly risk my life to accompany him!"

"Very well, there's no time like the present. Tomorrow, in the sea a hundred miles north of Weihai Immortal City, let's have a match and let the younger generation broaden their horizons, how about it?"

The head of the Wei family said in a cold, deep voice, "Agreed!"

"Brother Wei, don't be afraid. This is just a friendly spar, not a fight to the death. I will control my strength."

"No need. Patriarch Lu, please do your best. This old man of mine can still handle it."

The two looked at each other for a long time.

The head of the Lu family suddenly changed the subject and looked at Shen Xuan.

"This fellow Daoist has an extraordinary appearance and demeanor. You must be Alchemist Shen Changsheng!"

Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

"Exactly."

"How much is the annual salary offered by the Wei family?"

"One hundred thousand spirit stones." The Lu family head sighed.

"The Wei family is too stingy! For a master alchemist like Shen, 100,000 spirit stones is beneath him."

"How about this, Master Shen will join the Lu family of Canglong Island, with an annual salary of 200,000 spirit stones. The penalty for breach of the spirit contract will be paid by the Lu family."

"What is Master Shen's opinion?"

Shen Xuan bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Lu."

“A person cannot stand without integrity. Since I, Shen, have signed a contract with the Wei family to worship the spirit, I will fulfill the contract in accordance with the rules unless there are special circumstances.”

The Lu family head shook his head, his eyes sharp as knives, and his powerful divine sense swept directly towards Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan remained unmoved.

The powerful divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, when projected onto Shen Xuan, vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

The Lu family head's expression changed slightly.

His divine sense could not penetrate Shen Xuan's perception.

"This person possesses a treasure that can block divine sense detection!"

He didn't believe that Shen Xuan's spiritual sense was comparable to his own, who had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Actually, he was overthinking it.

After Shen Xuan achieved mastery of body refinement, his spiritual sense increased dramatically, comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

"Lu Zhanhao, how dare you touch my friend!"

As the Wei family head shouted, another powerful divine sense was projected and intertwined with the Lu family head's divine sense.

Right in front of the Wei family head, the Lu family head directly poached Shen Danshi, inviting him to switch allegiance, showing no regard for the Wei family at all.

If the head of the Wei family doesn't take action soon, the Wei family will lose all face.

Even with all his restraint, the Wei family head's anger had reached its limit.

"Brother Wei, see you tomorrow, a hundred miles north of the sea."

The head of the Lu family withdrew his divine sense, smiled, and transmitted his voice to the head of the Wei family.

The surrounding cultivators who were watching the scene all heard it clearly.

The Lu family's warship let out a long horn and blocked the Wei family's warship, heading north towards Weihai Immortal City.

Clearly, the head of the Lu family went ahead to the agreed location to await the head of the Wei family for their duel.

……

The decisive battle between the heads of the Wei family of White Crane Island and the Lu family of Azure Dragon Island.

The news quickly spread throughout the surrounding area.

The next morning.

Beside the two warships.

More than a hundred warships were anchored there, all there to watch the battle.

One of them, with its massive hull, was clearly a warship of the Divine Sword Sect.

A fake alchemist was present at the scene.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Wei family head and the Lu family head began to fight.

Both of them were water-based cultivators.

The Lu family head manipulated a flag-shaped high-grade magic weapon, controlling the waters of the East Sea to transform them into sharp water blades that attacked the Wei family head.

However, what truly distracted the Wei family head was a stealthy, elusive demonic shark.

The demon's body is transparent and can change with the surrounding environment.

It has a set of sharp teeth, a fierce temperament, and highly sensitive sensory organs.

Hidden in the water flow controlled by the Lu family head, it would suddenly burst forth from time to time, opening its huge mouth to reveal long, sharp teeth, and bite fiercely at the Wei family head.

"High-quality water demon?"

Shen Xuan's eyes lit up.

This is a second-tier, high-grade water-attribute monster.

It possesses an extremely rare stealth ability.

Unfortunately, it belongs to the Lu family head.

Otherwise, Shen Xuan would definitely intervene, capture, and kill him.

Under the attack of the Lu family head and the invisible demonic shark, the Wei family head summoned a spirit shield magic weapon, which flashed with bursts of silver spiritual light to block thousands of sharp water blades.

At the same time, he held a deep black spear with a dark gold tip, emitting a captivating and profound light, and thrust it towards the invisible demonic shark.

Both of them had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

For a time, they fought fiercely and were evenly matched.

Shen Xuan glanced at it a few times.

This tells us that the two are roughly equal in spiritual power and consciousness.

To determine the winner, we still need to rely on external factors.

The head of the Wei family simultaneously summoned two top-grade magic treasures.

It appears to be formidable.

In fact, it consumes spiritual energy and soul too quickly.

It is advantageous for quick battles, but not for protracted ones.

The head of the Lu family only used a water-controlling flag magic weapon to command the invisible demon shark.

Compared to the Wei family head who simultaneously summoned two top-grade magic treasures, the consumption was much less.

The longer the battle lasts, the greater the advantage for the Lu family head.

Any cultivator with a discerning eye could see that if the Wei family head did not change, he would gradually fall into a desperate situation.

as predicted.

Half an hour later.

The head of the Wei family switched to a defensive posture.

The stealthy shark is appearing more and more frequently.

Before the head of the Wei family could react, the black spear in his hand was bitten by it and it wouldn't let go.

Under the immense force, the head of the Wei family swayed continuously.

at this time.

The spiritual light emanating from the head of the Lu family surged.

The water control flag stirred up towering waves.

They swept towards the head of the Wei family.

At the same time, the head of the Lu family made a hand seal.

Several water blades condensed into eerie ice, becoming invisible and stealthy, yet moving with the speed of lightning and thunder as they hurtled towards the Wei family head.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Lu family head.

The summoned spirit shield magic weapon surged again, protecting his entire body.

The "ding-ding-ding" sound kept ringing.

The head of the Lu family involuntarily retreated.

The spiritual light on the magic shield had dimmed, and it had shrunk by more than half after being hit.

The black spear also flew out of his hand.

Shen Xuan was slightly surprised.

It's not that the head of the Lu family is that strong.

Instead, it was the head of the Wei family who was weaker than expected.

"Humph!"

The head of the Wei family disappeared into the sea.

Then, the seabed waves rolled.

The cloaked shark let out a mournful roar.

next moment.

Many bloodstains surfaced on the sea.

The Lu family head's expression changed drastically.

Recall the stealthy shark.

But then they saw a wound on his abdomen, a vital spot, from which blood was gushing out incessantly.

The Lu family head quickly took out a spirit pill and shot it into the mouth of the invisible demon shark.

At the same time, he continuously made hand gestures, channeling several streams of spiritual energy into the wound, forcing out a finely crafted black nail, about three inches long.

"A bone-piercing poison nail! Brother Wei, you're incredibly ruthless!"

The Lu family head put away the invisible demonic shark and said in a hateful voice.

opposite.

The head of the Wei family remained calm and composed.

The dark spear that had been lost was now back in his hands.

"Lu Zhanhao, are you still going to fight or not?"
