Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 372 Transformation into a Dragon (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan looked at Wei Yating, who looked uneasy, and after a moment's thought, he figured out the reason.

Previously, the Wei family of White Crane Island did not have the inheritance of water-based alchemy.

Like her clansmen, Wei Yating was raised in the way that was tacitly accepted by the Wei family.

One Qi-Nourishing Pill every five days accelerates the cultivation speed of Qi-refining cultivators.

Wei Yating broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining at the tender age of twenty.

The speed of cultivation is considered very fast.

There is certainly a reason for his diligent practice.

The regularly distributed Qi-nourishing pills played a crucial role.

Later, Wei Yating awakened her talent for water-based alchemy.

The Wei family has no one skilled in alchemy.

They were raised in the same way as ordinary members of the clan.

There are cultivators who are fake cultivators.

In fact, there are also fake monks.

Many cultivation families, even resorting to extreme measures, try to help special cultivators build their Dao foundation.

Even a low-grade Dao Foundation, or even an inferior-grade Dao Foundation.

Among them, alchemists were the most numerous.

For the Wei family.

As long as Wei Yating can establish a foundation, even if she is a pseudo-foundation cultivator.

As long as we can refine a second-tier spirit pill.

This would enable them to make a great contribution to the Wei family.

"One man's meat is another man's poison!"

No matter how difficult the journey was for Shen Xuan at the Qi Refining stage, he was unwilling to use any spiritual pills.

They didn't want to prematurely exploit potential, leaving behind toxic residue that could hinder future breakthroughs and advancements.

Shen Xuan asked in a deep voice, "How much water elemental root do you have?"

"Mid-grade spiritual root, thirty-six points."

Shen Xuan nodded.

Although it's a water elemental root with 36 points, it's considered above average.

It is more than enough to build a foundation for the lower level of Tao.

There is hope of establishing a foundation for a mid-level Daoist path.

"For alchemy using water, the alchemist's spiritual power must be extremely pure."

"Your spiritual power is too mixed, with too much poison."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yating's pretty face turned pale.

She looked at Shen Xuan with bright eyes, at a loss for what to do.

"I have a method that can remove erysipelas and impurities from you."

"However, your spiritual power will drop a bit."

"Furthermore, try not to take any elixirs in the future. Otherwise, your spiritual energy will become mixed up again."

"Are you willing?"

When Shen Xuan said these words, he did not avoid mentioning the clear breeze and bright moon.

He had no feelings for Wei Yating.

A young and beautiful girl, with a radiant smile and the fresh scent of youthful flesh, was pleasing to the eye, but nothing more.

With his current physical strength.

Wei Yating simply couldn't handle it.

"Yating agrees! Thank you, Master Shen! In the future..."

"No need!"

Shen Xuan waved his hand.

"I am a respected alchemist of the Wei family. I am just giving you Wei family cultivators some pointers on alchemy as a favor."

What happens to you in the future is none of my business!

Shen Xuan did not want to get involved in the karma.

Who can predict what the future holds?

Perhaps Wei Yating will hate him to death in the future.

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, please help your elder sister to sit down."

"Sit cross-legged, with your five points facing the sky, concentrate your mind and gather your energy in your dantian."

Shen Xuan deliberately kept Qingfeng and Mingyue behind.

The purpose was to have the two of them serve as witnesses.

At the same time, it gives them both something to look forward to.

Shen Xuan's principle in life is to be generous to those around him.

Small favors are insignificant to him.

For those around them, it could be a life-changing opportunity.

"I do my best for those around me. If we were to turn against each other one day, I would have no regrets."

That's what Shen Xuan was thinking.

How can you be as good as you want, but be worthy of your heart.

Following Shen Xuan's instructions, Wei Yating entered a meditative state.

At that moment, a warm hand gently pressed against her back.

A wisp of cool spiritual energy seeped into his dantian from his back, condensing into an ice spirit bead the size of a peanut.

Soon, the Ice Spirit Orb began to spin, faster and faster.

The spiritual energy within Wei Yating's body frantically gathered into her dantian, attaching itself to the Ice Spirit Pearl and forming a thick, almost tangible spiritual mist.

Clear and bright, turbid and heavy.

A few drops of black impurities dripped from the Ice Spirit Pearl and were expelled along the meridians of the internal organs.

Wei Yating felt a tickle in her throat and opened her cherry lips.

A thin black line shot out.

It was the impurities in the pill that were forced out by Shen Xuan's refined spiritual power.

Then, the Ice Spirit Orb shattered.

Only a tiny, rice-grain-sized bead remained, lingering in the center of the dantian.

The outer layer of refined spiritual energy transformed into mist and seeped into Wei Yating's spiritual energy.

"That's it!"

Shen Xuan withdrew his hand.

Wei Yating's cheeks were flushed.

The spiritual energy circulated, and a faint liquid-like substance appeared.

It's much purer than before.

The operating speed is at least three points faster.

This way.

Whether casting spells by making hand gestures or remotely controlling magical artifacts, it's much smoother.

"Go back and rest, and take your time to reflect."

"Three days later, we will try refining another batch of Qi-Nourishing Pills."

Shen Xuan said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Master Shen."

Wei Yating replied in a low voice.

He bowed deeply to Shen Xuan.

As a member of the family's cultivators, Wei Yating naturally knew that Shen Xuan had consumed a small amount of his true essence when he removed the poison from her pills.

Even close relatives wouldn't easily resort to such a thing.

Wei Yating had no idea.

Shen Xuan possesses a perfect-level [Self-Healing] talent skill.

A mere amount of true essence was insignificant to him.

A reply can be given on the same day.

Looking at Qingfeng and Mingyue with envy.

Shen Xuan coughed lightly.

"Neither of you should take the Qi-Nourishing Pills anymore."

"Cultivate diligently. In the future, becoming a top-grade alchemist will be a piece of cake!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue are still young.

I didn't take many Qi-nourishing pills.

Simply stop taking the medication and let the body heal itself to resolve the erysipelas.

Shen Xuan didn't need to take action.

Three days later.

Wei Yating arrived at the alchemy room with great interest.

In front of Shen Xuan.

The method of refining the Qi-nourishing pill using water.

This time, everything went quite smoothly.

After the elixir is condensed, open the alchemy furnace.

Inside lay two gleaming Qi-Nourishing Pills.

One ordinary product, one inferior product.

"I succeeded!"

Wei Yating is, after all, a young girl.

The joy in his eyes and brows was undisguised.

Although only two pills were successfully formed, one of them was of inferior quality.

Such results were achieved on the second attempt at alchemy.

It’s already not easy.

A true genius in alchemy!
Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

Wei Yating is calm and composed, and her alchemy process is methodical and orderly. Given time...

If one can establish a foundation for the Dao.

The possibility of becoming a second-tier alchemist is very high.

"good!"

Under Wei Yating's expectant gaze, Shen Xuan rarely gave a word of praise.

The gentle breeze and the bright moon seemed to dazzle the eyes.

Wei Yating's success proves that the Wei family's ancestral techniques are suitable for water-based alchemy.

Once the spiritual power requirement is met.

The rest is about mastering the techniques and skills.

Shen Xuan pointed out some of Wei Yating's improper actions during alchemy.

He demonstrated it himself.

Using Wei Yating's new alchemy furnace, eight pills of the Nourishing Essence Pill were refined, six of which were of good quality and two of excellent quality.

Wei Yating and Qingfeng Mingyue were both dumbfounded.

Under Shen Xuan's guidance.

Wei Yating's alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.

In just three months, he reached the level of a mid-grade first-level alchemist.

One batch of herbs for the Nourishing Essence Pill can yield three or four pills, with the occasional high-quality pill.

Such progress has even alarmed the head of the Wei family.

The head of the Wei family personally visited Shen Xuan.

After expressing his gratitude, he inquired about Wei Yating's upper limit in alchemy.

"If one can establish a foundation, there is a 70% chance of becoming a second-tier alchemist."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

"If Wei Yating can become a second-tier alchemist, my entire Wei family of White Crane Island will owe Alchemist Shen a great favor."

"If Master Shen has any needs, please feel free to make them."

The head of the Wei family solemnly promised.

Second-tier Water-based Alchemist!

There is only one such person in the entire Divine Sword Sect.

It's enough to change the fate of the entire family.

"Master Wei, you're too kind."

Shen Xuan did not take the Wei family head's promise to heart.

Not to mention that Wei Yating became a second-level alchemist many years later.

Moreover, based solely on this achievement...

It's absolutely impossible to exchange for the Wei family's divine turtle essence blood.

Shen Xuan first tried to improve his relationship with the Wei family.

We'll plan this slowly.

The Wei family is fighting against the Lu family.

This is a good thing for him.

This is a perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

The Lu family has quite a few water-attribute spirit beasts.

That stealthy shark is quite good.

……

Cave.

Practice room.

After the golden light flashed...

The last basin of Iron-Mouthed Crocodile Blood Essence was refined by a mysterious jade talisman.

[Talent: Basic Death Roll (8/100)]

【Daoyun: 9982】

late at night.

Shen Xuan came to the Spirit Pool alone.

The sleeping Silver Horned Pegasus was suddenly awakened.

They started rubbing against each other affectionately.

Shen Xuan silenced it.

Then, they dived into the spirit pool.

The technique of pinching and casting spells.

Silver Horned Pegasus stared wide-eyed at the dark figure in the pool, terrified.

It possesses the intelligence of a ten-year-old child.

I just don't understand.

The familiar owner instantly changed his appearance.

Even their auras were completely different.

Shen Xuan's body completely transformed into the form of a tiger-faced dragon.

He communicated with the Silver Horned Pegasus using telepathy.

Let it understand that the Tiger-faced Flood Dragon is merely a magical skill of his.

Silver Horned Pegasus's eyes seemed to understand but not quite.

Shen Xuan stirred up a storm.

Silently practice the [Dongzhen Bingxin Jue].

A huge iceberg was frozen in the ice.

Then, Shen Xuan revealed his fangs, which were half a foot long.

The dragon's body suddenly rose up.

It bit down hard on the iceberg.

It kept spinning and tumbling.

Only a few breaths.

An iceberg, as solid as steel, was torn apart by a tremendous force.

The Silver Horned Pegasus was so frightened that it quickly retreated away from the Spirit Pool, letting out an uneasy neigh.

Shen Xuan tried the [Death Roll] several times in a row.

It's becoming more and more proficient.

It turns out that [Death Roll] can utilize the power of water flow, and [Overturning Rivers and Seas], [Water Control], and so on can all be stacked on top of it.

Its instantaneous explosive power is enough to tear apart any Foundation Establishment cultivator below the True Person realm.

Even a fake alchemist would likely suffer if unprepared.

Shen Xuan transformed back into human form.

After only seven or eight attempts, I was exhausted.

Let's look at the mysterious jade talisman again.

[Talent: Basic Death Roll (13/100)]

"Like other physical skills, the proficiency level increases quite quickly."

This also means that there is no need to use Daoist rhyme points.

Silver Horned Pegasus nuzzled against Shen Xuan affectionately once more.

"Alright, it's too late, time to go to sleep!"

Shen Xuan told Silver Horned Pegasus to rest assured.

He set up three formations in the cave.

Even a fake Core Formation cultivator would have to expend some effort to break through these formations.

There is a sacred pool inside the cave.

It is rich in water elemental energy.

In this environment, Shen Xuan was invincible.

He was hiding on White Crane Island.

He could cultivate himself and refine elixirs simultaneously.

Besides.

There are two more things we need to take the initiative to do.

One task is to collect the medicinal materials for Jingji Dan.

Now, he has collected about 70-80% of the main and auxiliary materials for Jingjidan.

The rest are all high-grade spiritual herbs that are old and valuable.

Another matter was to purchase second-tier superior water spirit blood.

Even without new talents or skills, one should still accumulate Dao Points for unforeseen circumstances.

Like the Lu family head's stealth shark, a second-tier superior-grade creature with stealth abilities, it is an excellent prey.

As a family that uses water magic to control beasts, the Lu family should have quite a few water-attribute spirit beasts.

There should be two or three more of the same rarity as the Stealth Shark.

"I wonder what kind of spirit beast the Lu family patriarch possesses."

"Judging by his cultivation level, he's at least a top-tier second-order cultivator!"

Think of this.

Shen Xuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

They were eager for the Wei and Lu families to go to war as soon as possible.

Regardless of who wins or loses, it's a good thing for him.

Shen Xuan calmly observed the situation.

He took the initiative to pass the message to the head of the Wei family.

We are developing a new water-based alchemy technique and urgently need second-tier high-grade water demon blood.

Never imagined.

The head of the Wei family actually set his sights on the Lu family's spirit beast.
