Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 386 Watching the World Go By with a Smile (Seeking Subscriptions)

The next day.

Wei Yating failed to show up as promised.

Instead, it was a steward from Tianxiang Pavilion who came specifically to pay his respects.

He brought with him an encrypted jade slip belonging to the master of Tianxiang Pavilion in Weihai Immortal City.

After receiving it, Shen Xuan scanned it with his divine sense.

It was a letter personally written by Wanmeng.

She first expressed her apologies.

Alchemist Shen Changsheng transformed into a dragon and killed Lu Zhanpeng in one fell swoop, his brilliance dazzling.

The hype was too high, and she simply couldn't suppress it.

Two days later, Tianxiang Pavilion will sell the updated information about Shen Changsheng.

The price is as high as 50,000 spirit stones.

It not only exposed Shen Xuan's true identity.

It also includes details about his mastery of body refinement, divine thunder talisman, ice magic perfection, and water magic alchemy.

To make up for her apology, she gave Shen Xuan two pieces of important information for free.

Firstly, the Lu family of Canglong Island launched a family war, backed by the Beast Emperor Pavilion, with the aim of occupying Baihe Island and establishing it as a new stronghold for conquering sea monsters.

In other words, the war between the Wei and Lu tribes was not simply a matter of family feuds.

Behind this lies the strategic expansion intention of a major sect like the Beast Emperor Pavilion.

Secondly, the Wei family of White Crane Island encountered problems in the management of the Divine Sword Sect and became embroiled in a power struggle among the sect's higher-ups. A certain high-ranking member of the Divine Sword Sect was quite interested in the remains and essence blood of the divine tortoise left behind by True Immortal Cangming.

Rumors circulated that a Golden Core disciple of the Divine Sword Sect secretly orchestrated a scheme that caused Wei Anxin's failure to break through to the Core Formation stage, delaying his medical treatment and ultimately leading to his death from severe injuries.

After Shen Xuan finished reading it.

The encrypted jade slip will automatically destroy its contents.

"I see."

"Please convey to the Pavilion Master that I appreciate your kind intentions."

After dismissing the steward of Tianxiang Pavilion, Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

Wanmeng is the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect and the Pavilion Master of Tianxiang Pavilion in Weihai Immortal City.

Selling information about cultivators is part of their normal business.

Shen Xuan never had any expectations of Wanmeng.

"In other words, I will have to leave the Dongshan sea area within three days."

Shen Xuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Wanmeng did show some leniency.

He was given three days to handle the matters here.

He also specially gifted him two important pieces of intelligence, letting him know the truth about the war between the Wei and Lu families.

It's just two chess pieces.

"Three days is enough. I will ask Wei Qingxin for the remains of the divine tortoise today and leave gracefully."

Shen Xuan tidied himself up slightly, then rode the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse out of the cave.

along the way.

The Wei family monks looked at him with admiration and whispered among themselves.

"This is Alchemist Shen? He looks quite young."

"Yes, they say that Master Shen is not yet a hundred years old."

"A hundred years old, at the Foundation Establishment stage, he single-handedly killed a fake Core Formation cultivator! Such a person actually serves as an honorific in our Wei family, isn't that an audacity to say the Wei family is incompetent?"

"That's terrifying! Their combat power has jumped across an entire realm. I've never even heard of such a thing before!"

"Yes, I wonder where the patriarch invited him from."

"I heard that Master Shen is obsessed with alchemy and doesn't care about worldly affairs, only wanting to refine pills. It's laughable that the Lu family is blind and foolish enough to try to kidnap Master Shen and demand a ransom of up to 500,000 spirit stones."

"Yes, the Lu family has failed to cultivate virtue and good governance, which is intolerable to Heaven. They deserve this retribution!"

"Ah, those two cousins ​​are really lucky. I heard that they petitioned the clan leader for permission to officially change their names to Wei Qingfeng and Wei Mingyue, in memory of Master Shen's kindness in teaching them."

"Who do they think they are! The Ancestor has officially accepted Wei Yating as his personal disciple!"

Hear this.

Shen Xuan understood that the Wei family patriarch was fully supporting Wei Yating in order to revitalize the family through alchemy.

This is a pragmatic approach.

Along the way, the Wei family cultivators all made way for Shen Xuan and paid their respects.

Private discussions are inevitable.

Their faces were full of respect.

At the entrance of the Wei family ancestral temple.

The head of the Wei family personally greeted them.

"Master Shen, the Ancestor knew you were coming and specially instructed me to come here to greet you."

His voice sounded somewhat excited.

"Brother Weidao, you're too kind!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

The head of the Wei family laughed heartily, "The Wei family's great victory this time is all thanks to Alchemist Shen's righteous intervention. The entire Wei family is deeply grateful."

"No need! Shen's intervention is merely to complete the transaction."

"Everyone gets what they need, and no one loses or owes anyone anything."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Wei family smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Having witnessed Master Shen's astonishing combat prowess, coupled with his exceptional water-based alchemy skills, I was deeply impressed.

The head of the Wei family was desperate to do everything in his power to persuade Master Shen to stay on.

However, he also knew it.

That's impossible.

After receiving the divine tortoise's remains as payment, Master Shen will surely flee to a place thousands of miles away.

He would have made the same decision.

Led by the head of the Wei family, Shen Xuan entered the training ground and met the Wei family patriarch who had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Yating stood by his side.

After bowing, Shen Xuan said, "Master, I am about to leave the Dongshan Sea Area."

The patriarch of the Wei family sighed deeply, his face showing reluctance.

A slight flick of the finger.

From the storage pouch at his waist, twelve streaks of azure light flew out and landed in front of Shen Xuan. These were the twelve pieces of divine tortoise remains.

Shen Xuan glanced at it and confirmed that it was correct.

Without any hesitation, he unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, drawing them all into a storage bag he had prepared beforehand.

"Transaction complete. Mr. Shen thanks you for your guidance."

The Wei family patriarch said solemnly, "Master Shen, when you have time, you can come to White Crane Island to stay and take a look at Ya Ting's progress in alchemy cultivation."

“Yes, Master Shen, remember to come and visit often. Ya Ting will definitely carry forward your alchemy legacy,” the Wei family head added from the side.

Shen Xuan glanced at Wei Yating.

She wore a light blue dress, her face was as beautiful as jade, and she exuded a fresh and delicate fragrance, like the morning dew, fresh and bright.

However, there was a faint sadness in her bright, clear eyes.

Wei Yating hesitated before asking, "Master Shen, will we ever meet again?"

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Yes."

“In the future, when Ya Ting achieves success in alchemy, she will need to give me some guidance.”

"There will come a day!"

Wei Yating said firmly.

A captivating blush suddenly appeared on her fair, snow-white face.

With a hint of hope, Wei Yating asked softly, "Yating is wondering, if I want to write a letter to Master Shen, where should I send it?"

A silence.

The air seemed somewhat heavy.

Shen Xuan smiled.

He turned and walked out of the dojo.

Just when the Wei family members were feeling disappointed.

A gentle, refined, and serene middle-aged scholar entered the temple.

The three members of the Wei family were all slightly taken aback.

"Shen Xuan of Qingyun Sect greets True Person Qingxin, Brother Weidao, and Little Friend Yating."

Shen Xuan smiled and bowed. "Shen Xuan, so your name is Shen Xuan!"

Wei Yating murmured softly to herself, as if in a dream.

When she looked up at Shen Xuan again, the blush on her face was especially bright, with a hint of shyness.

Shen Xuan's appearance at this time bears some resemblance to Shen Changsheng.

However, her temperament is even more outstanding.

Gentle and refined, handsome and composed, mature and steady.

"We bid farewell today, and hope to meet again someday!"

This time, Shen Xuan is truly gone.

He rode the silver-horned celestial horse, flew out of White Crane Island, and walked on the waves.

Soon, both the man and the celestial horse disappeared.

"Ancestor, will he come again?"

Wei Yating couldn't help but ask.

"Will do."

“As long as you achieve success in alchemy, he will definitely come to see you.”

An unusual bright light suddenly flashed in Wei Yating's eyes.

"Ancestor, Ya Ting will definitely become a third-level alchemist!"

……

The silver-horned celestial horse spread its wings and flew along the sea, riding the waves.

Shen Xuan closed his eyes, released his divine sense, and used his perception to survey his surroundings and explore all directions.

Having a mount makes the journey a completely different experience.

It's not just comfortable and pleasant.

The pressure on my soul has also decreased significantly.

Previously, whether it was the Golden Claw Carving or the Crimson Winged Roaring Serpent.

They are all corpse beasts.

Although it can fly through the clouds.

However, he was required to expend a small portion of his divine soul power to control it.

Not like now.

Feeling relaxed and carefree, both body and mind are at ease and in a state of optimal condition.

"I hope there won't be any unexpected complications."

At this moment, Shen Xuan only wanted to return to the Qingyun Sect as soon as possible.

Then, he went into seclusion to cultivate himself.

After three or four years of arduous cultivation, once you break through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, you can then venture out to seek opportunities.

"I hope everything is alright!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He even managed to kill the fake Dan Master.

Although he is a newly promoted pseudo-core cultivator and a member of a family.

Their skills are somewhat lacking.

However, to be able to cross a major realm and achieve such a feat, reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and the perfect Golden Body Realm, is extremely rare.

However, while passing through a sea area shrouded in white fog.

Shen Xuan signaled the Silver Horned Pegasus to stop.

opposite.

The white fog dispersed.

A sword cultivator dressed in white with disheveled hair appeared in the void, his expression cold and arrogant, his gaze like a sword, looking at Shen Xuan.

now.

The previously languid Shen Xuan suddenly had a sharp glint in his eyes as he met the gaze of the sword cultivator opposite him.

It was as if sword energy clashed.

Full of fighting spirit.

In the air, the spiritual light vibrated violently.

Shen Xuan slowly stood up and put the Silver Horned Pegasus back into his spirit beast pouch.

opposite.

The swordsman with disheveled hair revealed a confident and proud smile.

"Nie Wuhen of the Divine Sword Sect greets Alchemist Shen."

"Shen Xuan of Qingyun Sect greets Fellow Daoist Nie."

The two looked at each other.

In Nie Wuhen's eyes, it seemed as if a thousand sword lights were about to arrive in an instant.

However, a crimson light flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes, and an extremely fierce and violent aura was faintly visible.

It was like a savage beast, possessing immense strength and capable of tearing everything apart at any moment.

Obviously.

The thing Shen Xuan least wanted to happen has happened.

The Golden Core disciple of the Divine Sword Sect was specially waiting for him here.

The purpose is simple.

It was the remains of the divine tortoise on his body.

The sect's true masters cannot intervene.

But their direct disciples can.

Even if he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would still be two minor realms higher than Shen Xuan.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen angrily killed the fake Core Formation cultivator from the Lu family."

"I am but a humble person, and I am eager to learn from you, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Hear this.

Shen Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, is it really necessary to do this?"

"It has to be this way."

"They're not going to ask for a prize, are they?!"

"Of course there should be a prize."

Nie Wuhen spoke with conviction.

"We cultivators defy the heavens. Fellow Daoist Shen, how about we use the remains of the divine tortoise on your body as the prize?"

Shen Xuan sighed.

He knew it.

This is the outcome.

What the superiors like, the inferiors will surely follow.

A Golden Core cultivator from the Divine Sword Sect might not even care about the remains of the divine tortoise.

As long as he shows even the slightest indication of interest.

Many disciples of the Divine Sword Sect would then try every means to obtain it for him.

In order to win the favor of the Golden Elixir Immortal.

Right and wrong are insignificant in the face of self-interest.

Shen Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly, and then he spoke to Nie Wuhen.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, what can you offer as a prize?"

Nie Wuhen said proudly, "The Golden罡 Sword in my hand is a top-grade flying sword, what do you think?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"Not enough! Add more!"

With a tense expression, Nie Wuhen took out a cyan metal from his storage bag.

"This is Azure Water Cold Gold, a top-grade spiritual object for forming the Golden Core."

Shen Xuan nodded.

"it is good!"

"Fellow Daoist Nie, let's have a friendly spar, with the prizes being the remains of the Divine Turtle, the Golden Gang Sword, and the Azure Cold Gold."

"please!"
