Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 375 Pure Heart Immortal (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan made a special trip to the seawall, which was a hundred miles away.

Night falls.

The three groups of cultivators saw Shen Xuan walk out of the area in the Immortal City where private fighting was prohibited.

They gradually increased their speed and closed in.

"Sigh, fishing these days is really tough!"

Looking at the turbulent waters, Shen Xuan sighed softly.

Didn't catch a big fish!
Shen Xuan turned around and greeted the approaching cultivators.

"Fellow Daoists, have you come looking for me?"

"The weather is really nice today!"

After the words fell.

The temperature plummeted, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Half an hour later.

Shen Xuan stood alone on the seawall.

His face was expressionless, and his mind was as still as water.

On the sea in the darkness of night.

Countless demonic fish and shrimp swarmed in, opening their mouths to devour every grain of flesh and blood.

The three groups of seven people were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

One of them was an outer disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.

To Shen Xuan's dismay,

The seven storage bags together contained only 120,000 spirit stones.

On average, each person earns less than 20,000 spirit stones.

They were poor beyond measure.

"It's better than nothing!"

Their biggest gain was their secret weapon.

Unfortunately, it has the same magic weapon as the four disciples of Medicine God Valley.

It's not easy to sell in the short term.

At the very least, it cannot be sold off in Xiancheng, Weihai.

"This fishing method can only be used once, not twice."

Until all the flesh and blood fragments were inside the bellies of the fish and shrimp.

Shen Xuan then leaped into the East China Sea, transforming into a tiger-faced dragon, and swam back to White Crane Island.

The following days.

Shen Xuan reforged the Hun Tian Staff.

After being refined, it was renamed Golden Light Stick.

This kind of heavy magic weapon is simply beyond the control of the divine soul of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Shen Xuan also had to rely on physical strength.

After he transformed into the form of a tiger-faced dragon.

The dragon claws gripped the golden rod and smashed it, unleashing even greater power.

"Does this make me a monster?"

Shen Xuan returned to human form and pondered to himself.

I don't know if I've chosen the right path for body refinement.

At this time, he had four weapons.

The spiritual artifact embryo, the Purple Gold True Water Seal, which was recently refined.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword, a natal magic weapon infused with a small amount of Han Yu Zhenren's inner essence.

The Jianghai Wanshui Map is a spatial auxiliary magic treasure used to store and refine a thousand kinds of spiritual water.

The last item was the modified and refined Golden Light Rod, a powerful magical artifact.

That's enough for him to use in his magical duels.

……

Spring goes and spring comes back.

Time flies by like a white horse.

In the blink of an eye, it's late autumn again.

A year has passed.

The war between the Wei and Lu tribes lasted for a year and a half after the declaration of war.

Everyone has gotten used to it.

War and daily life were not disrupted.

Shen Xuan understood.

The Wei and Lu clans did not want to take risks and were instead engaged in a war of attrition.

In theory, the Wei family is not as wealthy as the Lu family.

The Lu family's main source of income is breeding and selling spirit beasts.

It also has the support of the Beast Emperor Pavilion.

The Wei family, on the other hand, still followed the traditional path of hunting, mining, and farming.

Hunting became virtually unreliable after the outbreak of war.

My daily income has decreased significantly.

In addition, there are expenditures on rewards for recruiting independent cultivators.

The Wei family's stock of spirit stones is rapidly decreasing.

"The Wei family is doing everything they can to help Wei Anxin break through to the Core Formation stage."

As long as Wei Anxin successfully forms his core.

Even if it's a fake pill.

The Wei family's strength has greatly increased.

If it is a genuine elixir.

The Lu family will definitely admit defeat and sue for peace.

They're not that stubborn.

Shen Xuan's cave dwelling is located at the top of White Crane Island.

It has always been elegant and tranquil.

The Wei family had already issued a ban.

Apart from a few people such as Wei Yating, Qingfeng Mingyue, and Wei Anping.

Other Wei family cultivators are not allowed to disturb Alchemist Shen without authorization.

this day.

Inside the alchemy room.

"Wei Yating, you did a great job this time."

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, you are not bad either."

Shen Xuan used magic to condense a pill.

A rich fragrance of cinnamon filled the air.

The elixir solution condensed into five Spirit Gathering Pills, two of which were of good quality.

Upon hearing such an excellent result, Shen Xuan smiled and nodded.

My heart remained calm and undisturbed.

For the past year, Wei Yating has spent a lot of time in Shen Xuan's cave room.

He devoted all his energy to tending the furnace, refining elixirs, and cultivating his spiritual practice.

Wei Yating's alchemy skills have advanced by leaps and bounds at an incredible speed.

In just one year.

Her success rate in refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill reached 50%.

Four pieces are produced per batch, and often one of them is of good quality.

The taste of success is quite addictive.

Wei Yating was completely immersed in the Dao of Alchemy.

Their gazes toward Shen Xuan shone brightly, filled with admiration and worship.

Shen Xuan put the refined Spirit Gathering Pill into a medicine bottle and handed it to Qingfeng Mingyue.

"Ya Ting, go and tell Patriarch Wei to stop sending over the ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill."

"Change it to True Essence Pill ingredients."

Wei Yating's eyes flashed, and she asked in confusion, "Master Shen, Yating remembers that the True Essence Pill is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual pill."

"You're not mistaken."

"Ah! Master Shen, you..."

Shen Xuan smiled.

"Water-based alchemy, with its pure spiritual energy and skillful technique, allows one to refine pills beyond one's level."

Fire-based alchemy requires the alchemist to have abundant spiritual power, a strong spirit, and precise control over fire.

Among them, precise fire control is the most difficult.

Each step is interconnected; if any step goes wrong, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Relatively speaking.

Water-based alchemy is even more complex.

However, its margin for error is much greater than that of fire-based alchemy.

Although there are some shortcomings in each step.

Time can also make up for it.

"You can also try Huanglongdan."

"Ah, Master Shen, can I really do it?"

Wei Yating's pretty face was full of joy.

Although it was a question, I already had the answer in my heart.

If Master Shen says it's possible, then it definitely will be possible. She had never seen Master Shen fail at alchemy.

"You definitely can. You need to have confidence in yourself."

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, you can also start trying to refine Qi-Nourishing Pills."

Upon hearing this, both Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two alchemy apprentices, beamed with joy.

In the alchemy room, he was used as a child laborer by Master Shen for a year and a half, until he finally reached the point where he could refine pills independently.

Although they are only fourteen or fifteen years old.

He has just reached the third level of Qi Refining in his cultivation.

If we can successfully refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

After they leave, their clansmen will have to respectfully address them as "Alchemists"!

Shen Xuan looked at the three people who were all smiles.

Shake his head slightly.

Young people are still too naive.

Shen Xuan's actions were not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The war between the Wei and Lu clans lasted for a year and a half.

In this level of attrition warfare, the casualties among the cultivators of both races were minimal, with no serious damage inflicted.

The high-grade water spirit blood promised by the Wei family was nowhere to be found.

This can't go on.

Shen Xuan was unwilling to waste time waiting.

It is necessary to add fuel to the fire in the war between the Wei and Lu tribes.

His solution to break the deadlock was to refine pills beyond his level.

"I refuse to believe you can hold back!"

According to Tianxiang Pavilion's intelligence, the Wei family has been acquiring medicinal materials for the Longevity Pill for many years.

If it cannot be purchased directly.

It is very likely that they will invite an alchemist to refine a longevity pill.

How could Shen Xuan remain indifferent to such a good thing?

This time of year.

Besides daily practice and studying alchemy.

Shen Xuan also took the time to sneak out of the Spirit Pool from White Crane Island under the guise of secluded cultivation and return to the Qingyun Sect.

He handed over the dozen or so magical treasures he couldn't handle to his fourth junior sister, Gu Jinqin.

Instruct Gu Jinqin to find a reliable and familiar craftsman to rework and modify the instrument before selling it in a partner shop in the market.

Using these magical treasures as collateral, Shen Xuan withdrew 700,000 spirit stones in advance from the Xiaogufeng General Affairs Office.

no way.

You only realize how little money you have when you need it.

The cost of food alone for refining demon beast meat through the [Gnawing on All Things] technique is two to three hundred thousand spirit stones per year.

This is even with Shen Xuan being frugal with his food.

More than ten days later.

The Wei family delivered a batch of Zhenyuan Pill ingredients.

Shen Xuan opened the furnace to refine pills and successfully produced the pills.

Although there are only three, and they are all ordinary pieces.

Such a result on the first attempt at refining True Essence Pills.

Both Wei Yating and Qingfeng Mingyue were full of praise.

I wish I could take his place.

The three were full of energy.

They each set up their own furnaces to refine elixirs.

Under Shen Xuan's guidance.

All of them successfully produced pills.

Wei Yating refined two Yellow Dragon Pills.

Each of Qingfeng and Mingyue refined a Qi-Nourishing Pill.

All are happy.

The news reached the ears of the Wei family head.

I was stunned for a long time.

After regaining his senses, he quickly reported to the Wei family patriarch.

"Water-based alchemy can indeed be used to refine pills beyond one's level."

"However, the requirements for alchemists are extremely high."

The Wei family patriarch asked, "An Yue, how has Shen Changsheng performed on the island over the past year and a half?"

"He rarely goes out; he spends his time either refining pills or in seclusion cultivating asceticism."

He meticulously guided the younger generation of the Wei family in the art of alchemy.

“The little girl in the clan, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, is already able to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill.”

Thinking of Wei Yating's greatly improved alchemy skills, the head of the Wei family couldn't help but smile.

As long as Wei Yating achieves success in alchemy.

Shen Changsheng's annual salary of 100,000 spirit stones was well spent and was well worth the money.

The Wei family patriarch inquired about Wei Yating's relationship with cultivation and alchemy.

Long thought.

"How about this, you arrange for me to meet with Shen Changsheng."

"it is good!"

The head of the Wei family readily agreed.

……

"Master Shen, please come in quickly. The Ancestor has been waiting for you for a long time."

The head of the Wei family personally accompanied Shen Xuan to pay respects to the Wei family patriarch.

"I won't go in; I'll wait for you outside."

"it is good."

Shen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony.

He knew in his heart that the Wei family patriarch's formal invitation to meet must be for a very important matter to discuss.

Even the head of the Wei family could only stand guard outside the ancestral temple.

Push open the door.

There is a cave inside.

The mountains are verdant and the waters are clear, full of spiritual energy, like smoke and mist.

It is only slightly inferior to the blessed lands of the two masters.

"A top-grade second-tier spiritual vein training ground, the best among the islands of the Dongshan Sea."

Shen Xuan had just gone inside.

Then a powerful divine sense rushed towards him, enveloping him.

Shen Xuan smiled and exerted his full strength, radiating an aura comparable to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"So you are the alchemist Shen Changsheng?"

"Indeed. I, Shen, have met Master Qingxin."

The patriarch of the Wei family was known by the Taoist name Qingxin.

At this moment, Shen Xuan stopped pretending.

Demonstrating strength is essential for effective negotiation and deals.

"Please sit down!"

On the jade table were some spirit wine, spirit tea, and spirit fruit.

After Shen Xuan sat down.

Only then did he take a good look at the Pure Heart Master opposite him.

He wore a blue Taoist robe, had a thin face, and deep, sharp eyes.

Shen Xuan, however, did not feel any pressure.

"Is this the difference between a fake alchemist and a true alchemist?"

Shen Xuan estimated that the strength of the Dan Yuan aura of the Wei family patriarch was only one-third that of the Lone Peak True Person.

He is worlds apart from Han Yu Zhenren, and there is no comparison between them.

A few cups of spirit wine went down my throat.

The atmosphere became a little more lively.

The Wei family patriarch casually asked a few questions about Shen Xuan's life on White Crane Island.

Then, she asked about Wei Yating's potential in alchemy.

"Once Wei Yating has established her Dao Foundation, judging from its quality and cultivation level, she will undoubtedly become a second-tier alchemist. As for her upper limit, that depends on her own fortune!"

Shen Xuan's answer satisfied the Wei family patriarch.

"Master Shen, there are only the two of us in this room."

"I'll be frank. What do you want?"

He didn't believe that Master Shen would be so kind as to come to White Crane Island specifically to pass on his alchemy skills to the Wei family cultivators.

The law should not be passed lightly.

Moreover, it is a rare inheritance such as the second-order water-based alchemy.

Shen Xuan stared directly at the Wei family patriarch.

He solemnly said, "To be honest, I have heard that the Wei family still possesses the essence and blood of the divine tortoise of the Immortal Cangming."

"It does exist."

The Wei family patriarch chuckled softly.

"However, a second-order water-based alchemy inheritance is not enough."
