Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 392 The Villain Accuses (Seeking Subscriptions)

Actually, it's a very simple matter.

The disciples of the Lingdan Hall all believed that Li Ruyi was being tactless.

He had no roots, was merely a hermit cultivator, and resided in the Lingdan Hall.

Li Ruyi is completely ignorant.

They are ungrateful and obediently offer up their alchemical lineage.

They even dared to keep secrets, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and not take the initiative to show respect to the direct disciples of the Lingdan Hall.

With the tacit approval of everyone.

Zhao Shun, the youngest and least experienced, was the first to make trouble, using the sect's elixir task as an excuse to force Li Ruyi to personally participate in the alchemy process.

Li Ruyi is only at the mid-stage of Soul Foundation, and her soul body is not solid enough, so it is difficult for her to achieve the desired effect whether it is alchemy or fire control.

The disciples of the Lingdan Hall originally intended to suppress Li Ruyi for a period of time and temper her arrogance.

After Li Ruyi faced reality and cleared her head.

Then send someone to guide her, so that she will voluntarily give up her alchemy lineage.

The plan is wonderful.

However, it has only just begun to be used.

Shen Xuan suddenly appeared.

He repeatedly requested to meet Li Ruyi.

This thwarted the plans of the direct disciples of the Lingdan Hall.

"No matter what, he shouldn't have hit someone!"

"Fifth Junior Brother, you should go to the Enforcement Hall first and file a complaint against him!"

Huang Yuan said angrily.

Just now, he stopped Zhao Shun.

It's not because we're in the wrong.

Rather, it was because they genuinely couldn't defeat him and were afraid Zhao Shun would suffer a loss.

"Alright! Third Senior Brother, I'll go to the Enforcement Hall to file a complaint right away!"

"I refuse to believe that Senior Uncle Lingxiao would protect him!"

"Our Longevity Peak sect holds a much higher status than Cold Jade Peak!"

Zhao Shun said with great confidence.

At that moment, he was unaware.

This move has brought immense trouble to Lingdantang.

"Junior Brother Zhao, you're still too young!"

Huang Yuan thought to himself.

However, I am also happy to see it happen.

Anyway, he stayed behind the scenes and didn't suffer any losses.

……

Shen Xuan summoned the Silver Horned Pegasus and flew back to Cold Jade Peak.

On the way, deep in the white clouds, Shen Xuan apologized to Li Ruyi.

He hadn't expected that the true disciples of Lingdan Hall would treat her this way.

"I was negligent."

“I thought that Lingdan Hall would treat you well because of Master Gufeng.”

He and Li Ruyi had made an agreement.

Li Ruyi helped him refine an improved Pure Foundation Pill.

He provided security for Li Ruyi.

Both of them get what they need.

If one day...

Shen Xuan condensed his inner core.

Try every possible way to help Li Ruyi condense her soul core and reshape her spiritual body.

Shen Xuan never expected this.

The disciples of the Lingdan Hall showed no respect to Master Gufeng.

Perhaps they investigated Li Ruyi's background and found out that Gu Feng Zhenren had no relation to her?
These people, in order to obtain Li Ruyi's alchemy inheritance, relentlessly pressured and suppressed her.

"At first it was fine. Ruyi guided them in refining pills in the giant furnace, and they were very polite."

"Later, Zhao Shun repeatedly tried to get Ruyi to teach him how to refine the Taiqing Pill."

“Even though their senior brother Ge Chengming knows how to refine the Qingling Pill, he insists on messing with Ruyi.”

Li Ruyi explained.

“You are different from Ge Chengming.”

"Zhao Shun dared not threaten Ge Chengming."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

Even among fellow disciples from the same lineage, their relationship is not as harmonious as outsiders might imagine.

After all, they are competitors.

Moreover, alchemy is such a delicate art that it cannot be taught in just a few words.

Ge Chengming simply didn't have the time or energy to teach Zhao Shun.

“Ge Chengming must have been aware of Zhao Shun’s actions, and may even have tacitly approved them.”

Shen Xuan speculated.

Upon hearing this, Li Ruyi fell silent.

She simply lost her memory.

A person over two hundred years old isn't that naive.

Ge Chengming can refine the Qingling Pill.

This does not mean that he does not need Li Ruyi's alchemy skills.

Shen Xuan asked, "That alchemy furnace isn't yours?"

"Where did Ruyi get the alchemy furnace? It belongs to Zhao Shun."

"Yes, I think so too. With your alchemy skills, even if you fail to condense the core, it shouldn't cause your chest to explode."

"This time it was the alchemy furnace that exploded. In the future, if there's a chance, we'll blow him up."

Li Ruyi said hatefully.

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

This is Li Ruyi's true nature.

The image of that timid and cowardly female alchemist was merely a mask to deceive outsiders.

If he were so weak and easily bullied, how did his predecessor manage to cultivate to the third-level alchemist?
How could they possibly have laid out a backup plan and switched to the path of the underworld?

"Forget it, don't bother with such a petty person. I'll take you to pay your respects to Master Hanyu first."

Just now, when confronting the senior disciple of Lingdan Hall, Shen Xuan brought up his master, Hanyu Zhenren.

In any case, it is necessary to return to the peak and tell Master Hanyu what happened.

So that True Man Hanyu wouldn't be completely unaware.

It's awkward to back down when others bring it up.

"Ah! I pay my respects to the Immortal Hanyu, and look at my appearance..."

Shen Xuan glanced at Li Ruyi.

The image is indeed tragic.

His soul was dim, his realm was unstable, and he appeared extremely weak.

"This looks quite good! Perfect timing to go see Master Hanyu."

Li Ruyi immediately understood Shen Xuan's meaning.

The more miserable her appearance, the more it proves the humiliation and exploitation she suffered at the hands of Lingdantang.

"Speak less and don't lie in front of Master Hanyu."

Shen Xuan gave a word of advice.

Those who rise to power dislike those who think they are clever the most.

Especially those who are weak and try to deceive or exploit them.

"know."

Li Ruyi was once a third-level alchemist, so she naturally understood the principle.

……

Hanyu Peak, a blessed land.

After listening to Shen Xuan's account, Master Hanyu asked Li Ruyi a few questions.

The main topics are Li Ruyi's background, meditation techniques, and alchemical skills.

Li Ruyi answered honestly.

After pondering for a while, Master Hanyu said, "Since Fellow Daoist Li is both a guest elder of the sect and a friend of my disciple Shen Xuan, it is naturally permissible for him to stay at Hanyu Peak for an extended period."

Hear this.

Li Ruyi was overjoyed.

He bowed deeply in respect.

"Thank you very much, Master Ruyi."

Master Hanyu waved his hand.

"Don't dwell on your past life. Settle down and cultivate diligently."

"Bingyu, help Fellow Daoist Li choose a new cave dwelling. I remember there's an Ice Valley cave dwelling with Yin Spring and Netherworld Qi inside, which would be quite suitable for Fellow Daoist Li." Liu Bingyu smiled and agreed, then led Li Ruyi downstairs.

"Shen Xuan, it's just the two of us here. I ask you, can this person really help you refine the Foundation Purification Pill?"

"Definitely!"

Shen Xuan's attitude was clear.

"Although I do not understand alchemy, I have heard that the ingredients used in the Pure Foundation Pill are extremely precious, and the effects vary from person to person. It needs to be taken continuously to be effective."

"Therefore, although Jingjidan is good, it is not cost-effective and not many people use it."

Shen Xuan explained, "Master, please forgive me. Fellow Daoist Li was a third-level alchemist in his previous life. He once improved the formula for the Foundation Purification Pill and successfully refined it."

"She and I will do some more research and replace two or three of the precious medicinal herbs. Although the efficacy will be reduced, the cost will be much cheaper."

"An improved formula?"

The eyes of the Cold Jade Immortal gleamed.

Besides his cultivation, this disciple also possesses a special talent.

They're just really good at causing trouble.

Giant furnace for alchemy, lightning-attracting array, lightning-proof armor...

His thinking is wildly imaginative and unbelievable.

Yet, it still manages to succeed.

Although they all used the name of Master Gufeng.

But who doesn't know what kind of person Master Gufeng is?

The higher-ups of the Qingyun Sect all knew the inside story.

The Pure Foundation Pill is a second-tier top-grade spiritual pill.

If the improvement is successful, the cost will be reduced significantly.

An improved cost-performance ratio is bound to cause a sensation.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators fail to break through to Core Formation.

The poor quality of the foundation is a major reason for this.

Even if it only improves the quality of one's Dao foundation by two or three points.

Increase the chances of successfully forming the Golden Core by one or two points.

Those who have reached the Core Formation stage will flock to it.

Even now.

There are still some wealthy Core Formation seeds.

Before attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage, I tried every means to purchase a few Foundation Purification Pills from the Valley of the Medicine God.

Each one is priced as high as 100,000 spirit stones.

They also requested that Medicine God Valley be sold.

"What are the effects and price of the improved Jingji Dan?"

Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment.

He was silently calculating in his mind.

"The efficacy of the medicine may only be one-quarter or one-fifth of that of the original elixir."

"The cost can be reduced to below 10,000 spirit stones per piece."

Shen Xuan did not deceive Han Yu Zhenren.

Below 10,000 spirit stones is a vague figure.

Specifically, it's several thousand spirit stones.

Shen Xuan couldn't figure it out either.

"Excellent! In this way, the cost-effectiveness of the Foundation Purification Pill is doubled!"

Master Hanyu didn't think much of it.

A simple calculation shows that for the same price, the efficacy of the medicine is more than doubled.

It is indeed feasible.

"Shen Xuan, just go ahead and do it. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

"Yes! Thank you Master!"

"By the way, when you have time, give Bingyu some pointers. This child's talent for cultivation is a little lacking. You are her senior brother, so please help her out."

Shen Xuan immediately replied, "This disciple has long had this intention. Master, rest assured, I will take care of Junior Sister Liu's ice magic cultivation."

"After refining the Foundation Purification Pill, I will give some to Junior Sister Liu to improve the quality of her Dao Foundation."

"Once I have mastered the ice magic, I will begin to instruct Junior Sister Liu."

Liu Bingyu was the first direct disciple of Master Hanyu.

She is also the only one besides Shen Xuan.

He's a very nice person.

Back then, he even specially gave Shen Xuan his own insights into ice magic cultivation.

Liu Bingyu's talent for cultivation is slightly lacking.

That's relative to Hanyu Zhenren's expectations.

Mid-grade Dao Foundation, mutated Ice Spirit Root.

In the entire Qingyun Sect, only Shen Xuan possesses ice magic talent surpassing Liu Bingyu.

If Liu Bingyu can improve the quality of her Dao foundation.

With the meticulous guidance of Master Hanyu and the instruction of Shen Xuan, the chances of successfully condensing the inner core in the future will greatly increase.

Obtaining the true elixir may be difficult.

The fake pills aren't a big problem.

Don't underestimate fake alchemists.

The entire Qingyun Sect has only about thirty pseudo-Dan cultivators.

If one leaves the sect.

One can serve as the lord of a small or medium-sized immortal city, or as the deputy of one of the five major immortal cities.

It can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years, reaching a lifespan of three hundred and fifty years.

Although his status is not as high as that of a True Immortal.

Yet, they are beings that Foundation Establishment cultivators look up to.

Moreover, Liu Bingyu is an ice magic cultivator.

Their status and position were already slightly higher than those of ordinary cultivators.

……

Li Ruyi finally settled down.

She was extremely satisfied with the new cave dwelling.

It is not only quiet.

There is also a dark spring in the cave, leading to the depths of the icy valley.

The spring water contains ethereal energy, which is perfect for her to cultivate ethereal arts.

Moreover, Han Yufeng has a simple staff.

Apart from a few Qi-cultivating cultivators from the Ding family at the foot of the mountain.

There were only three people present: Hanyu Zhenren, Shen Xuan, and Liu Bingyu.

With a little effort, Li Ruyi and Liu Bingyu became close friends who could talk about anything.

this day.

Li Ruyi and Shen Xuan were discussing alternatives to the two precious medicinal ingredients in Jingji Dan.

A message talisman flew in.

After reading it, Shen Xuan couldn't help but sneer.

The deacon from the Enforcement Hall has arrived; wait for him at the peak entrance.

"That scoundrel Zhao Shun is so ungrateful; he actually went to the Hall of Law Enforcement to file a complaint."

"I'll go to the Enforcement Hall and have a go at him."

Li Ruyi asked, "Would you like Ruyi to come along?"

"No need! Fellow Daoist Li, you should go back first and not leave the peak."

Shen Xuan smiled.

“Uncle-Master Lingxiao has always been upright, incorruptible, and impartial.”

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, I'm absolutely confident that I can make Zhao Shun suffer the consequences and vent your anger."

Zhao Shun brought Shen Xuan's case to the court of law enforcement.

It's time to do this.

The disciples of the Lingdan Hall have officially broken ties with Shen Xuan.

In the future, Shen Xuan will work with Li Ruyi to develop the Pure Foundation Pill.

We must also continuously improve our alchemical skills.

Use precious elixirs to trade for high-level spiritual items.

Those in the same industry are inherently rivals.

Moreover, Shen Xuan is not even a disciple of the Spirit Pill Hall.

Conflicts between him and the direct disciples of the Lingdan Hall were inevitable.

That being the case.

Zhao Shun even filed a false accusation against the guilty party.

Don't blame him for being ruthless.
