Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 404 Incompatible as Water and Fire (Seeking Subscriptions)

This statement came out.

The warehouse was unusually quiet.

Several Foundation Establishment disciples silently stepped back a few paces.

For fear of being affected.

Lu Zhengying glanced at Shen Xuan, who remained calm and composed.

"Senior Brother Huang, you are unaware of this."

"Those medicinal herbs were specially prepared for Senior Brother Shen by the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce."

Huang Yuan was furious.

"Lu Zhengying, what kind of work are you doing! Senior Brother Shen can procure top-quality spiritual herbs, why can't you!"

"You have delayed the sect's alchemy mission; do you know your crime?"

Lu Zhengying's expression froze for a moment.

"Brother Huang, please calm down."

"As early as four months ago, Senior Brother Shen entrusted the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce to purchase spiritual medicines for him."

"These were given to Senior Brother Shen by Lü through the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce."

"The list of medicinal herbs that Senior Brother Huang gave to me was written last month."

"Even if Mr. Lü has connections everywhere, he doesn't have that ability."

"Perhaps, Senior Brother Huang, you should find someone else to handle this matter?"

Lü Zhengying made her meaning very clear.

Shen Xuan had already reached an agreement with the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce to purchase spiritual medicines.

Those medicinal herbs were entrusted to him by the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce to be handed over to Shen Xuan.

If you want it, figure it out yourself.

He doesn't have that ability.

Huang Yuan sneered and said, "Purchasing medicinal herbs is your department's responsibility."

"You can't even do this simple thing, what right do you have to be in charge of the procurement of medicinal herbs?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhengying sighed.

They simply stopped responding and played dead.

Anyway, the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

No matter how you explain, Huang Yuan won't listen.

As long as we can't find his mistakes.

Let him say a few more words; there's no harm in it.

As for who should be in charge of procuring spiritual medicines, that's not for a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Spirit Pill Hall to decide.

As long as Master Tongxuan is willing.

Even the Sect Master, the Lost Immortal, couldn't interfere.

At this moment, a white-haired, youthful-looking Taoist priest in a purple robe walked into the storeroom.

Huang Yuan quickly bowed and greeted him: "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

It was Ge Chengming, the eldest disciple of the Longevity Master of Lingdan Hall.

Ge Chengming was slightly taken aback when he saw Shen Xuan.

He quickly looked away, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Ge Chengming asked, "Where's the elixir? Did you get it?"

"got it."

Huang Yuan looked toward the counter.

Ge Chengming's expression darkened when he saw the scattered medicinal herbs on the counter.

"that's it?"

Huang Yuan's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice to Ge Chengming.

He looked at Shen Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Junior Brother Shen, I heard from Junior Brother Huang that you have excellent medicinal herbs such as Crimson Jade Fruit, Frost Fruit, and Wind-Welcoming Flower.”

Shen Xuan said with a straight face, "Reporting to Senior Brother Ge, those spiritual herbs have nothing to do with the sect. I privately entrusted a friend to purchase them on my behalf."

Ge Chengming nodded.

“I understand. However, the sect needs to refine a batch of Taiqing Pills, which requires top-quality spiritual herbs and auxiliary materials. Time is of the essence, could you lend those spiritual herbs to the Spirit Pill Hall first?”

Ge Chengming even revealed a smile.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Shen. I, Ge, guarantee that it will be returned in full."

Shen Xuan looked at Ge Chengming, who had an air of otherworldly wisdom and a dignified demeanor.

He had the demeanor of a respected elder of a sect.

Shen Xuan found it amusing and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect as an equal.

Turn around and leave.

I can't even be bothered to say another word.

"Senior Brother Shen, what do you mean by this?"

Huang Yuan couldn't help but call out from behind.

"You don't understand this?"

"No borrowing!"

After saying that, Shen Xuan didn't look back, transformed into a streak of light, and flew straight away from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Inside the storeroom, all the disciples of the sect, including Lü Zhengying, held their breath and dared not even breathe loudly.

They were afraid of incurring Ge Chengming's wrath.

This is the actual person in charge of the Spirit Pill Hall, a Foundation Establishment Perfection Pill Master, and a top-ranked Core Formation seed in the sect.

High position and authority.

He is almost the number one person below the True Person of Qingyun Sect.

In front of everyone, Ge Chengming asked Shen Xuan to borrow some spiritual herbs for the purpose of refining pills for the Spirit Pill Hall.

Both logically and emotionally, Shen Xuan should agree.

Just some rare and precious medicines.

Given Ge Chengming's status and position, once he opens his mouth, it's his natal magic weapon, and other sect disciples have no choice but to obediently offer it up.

Never imagined.

Shen Xuan didn't take him seriously at all.

A firm refusal caused him to lose face.

Ge Chengming's face turned ashen as he watched Shen Fengxuan's figure disappear.

Beside him, Huang Yuan dared not speak.

"Junior Brother Huang."

"exist."

"Does Shen Xuan have a problem with our Spirit Pill Hall?"

Huang Yuan glanced at the other cultivators in the storeroom.

"That's not necessarily true. Senior Brother Shen comes from a background of independent cultivation, so he might not have a strong sense of belonging to the sect."

"Heh, without a sect, who knows what he'll become!"

Ge Chengming's words were laced with sarcasm.

This was the first time he had ever encountered someone so lacking in common sense.

Previously, the fifth junior brother Zhao Shun accused Shen Xuan, but Shen Xuan punished him for false accusation and sent him to Yinsha Confinement.

He was unhappy.

However, due to the sect's rules, it was not appropriate to take action.

This time, the intention was to give Shen Xuan a chance to redeem himself through meritorious service.

Try to repair his relationship with Lingdantang.

Little did they know, they didn't care at all.

This humiliated him, leaving him feeling utterly disgraced and pained.

"Elder brother, what should we do now?"

"What can we do? Take the elixir and go back to refine the pills."

Ge Chengming said calmly.

Huang Yuan's expression froze.

Ge Chengming sighed softly and said, "No matter what, we must do our best to complete the sect's Taiqing Pill mission. These spiritual herbs are just auxiliary materials; with proper processing, they may still be able to form a pill."

"We can't control what others do. We should do our duty, complete the Taiqing Pill mission as much as possible, and repay the sect and our master."

"Junior brother, I have learned a lot. Senior brother is devoted to public service and has a noble character. I am ashamed to be inferior to him!"

Huang Yuan said with admiration. The two of them, taking turns speaking, found a way to save face and left the miscellaneous affairs hall storeroom.

……

After leaving Tongxuan Peak, Shen Xuan summoned the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse, mounted it, and rode the wind.

Ge Chengming, thinking himself of his noble status, immediately asked to borrow the elixir.

How could he possibly agree?

Previously, the disciples of the Lingdan Hall had not yet settled accounts with Ge Chengming regarding Li Ruyi's matter.

He's so easy to bully!
All of this was orchestrated behind the scenes by Ge Chengming.

Because of his lack of strength, Shen Xuan held back his actions.

Zhao Shun, the ringleader, was imprisoned in the Yinsha Cave for thirty years for falsely accusing someone.

Shen Xuan knew this in his heart.

Those medicinal herbs, as auxiliary materials for the Taiqing Pill, are sufficient if properly prepared.

Ge Chengming asked him to borrow the elixir.

It is a compliance test.

It's basically about using power to intimidate someone and force them to submit.

Shen Xuan ignored him.

Reject immediately.

Such people are aloof and used to ordering others around and expecting them to obey them.

If Shen Xuan shows him even the slightest leniency, he will face endless suppression.

There's no need to associate with people who are destined to become enemies.

Anyway, he had no intention of buying elixirs from the Elixir Hall.

Before long, Shen Xuan returned to Hanyu Peak.

They walked straight into the blessed land.

He handed the elixir to Liu Bingyu.

He glanced at the Wanlong Xuanshui Pill Furnace, which was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how is this furnace?"

"It will surely be successful in forming the elixir."

Li Ruyi answered affirmatively.

"That's good."

The improvement plan for Jingjidan is progressing more smoothly than expected.

In just four months, five different pill-forming configurations were tested.

With today's batch, that makes six varieties.

Shen Xuan preserved the herbal combinations and purification effect analysis for each pill-making process.

Then, we'll select the best one and optimize it.

"Master is indeed Master, with extraordinary talent and profound wisdom."

"It seems that in another two or three months, the improvement of the Pure Foundation Pill will be completed."

"Master's actions are a meritorious deed for the present and a benefit for future generations!"

"All the Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect are truly blessed!"

Liu Bingyu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Senior brother, did you see Master arrive? You're just showering him with compliments!"

"Junior sister, don't talk nonsense! These are my heartfelt words!"

Shen Xuan said solemnly.

Actually, Liu Bingyu was not wrong.

He sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy and knew that it was Master Hanyu who had arrived. He pretended not to know and deliberately praised him endlessly.

really.

The Cold Jade Immortal revealed himself.

His appearance was solemn and dignified, and his expression was serene.

However, there was a hint of smugness in his eyes.

She had never practiced alchemy.

In just four months, he mastered the technique of refining the Pure Foundation Pill using water.

His talent as an alchemist is undeniable.

Shen Xuan's words were slightly exaggerated.

However, it is basically in line with the facts.

It was foreseeable.

If we can improve and develop a more cost-effective Jingji Dan.

All Foundation Establishment disciples of the Qingyun Sect will benefit from this.

Master Hanyu performed a hand seal.

The solution of this medicinal herb was condensed into two pills.

The pills had four Dao patterns on their surface, indicating they were all of good quality.

"Master, please wait a moment. There might be a little trouble with Junior Brother Lü."

Shen Xuan reported the matter of the warehouse to Master Hanyu.

“Master, I believe that Senior Brother Ge of the Spirit Pill Hall has a deep prejudice against me because of Fellow Daoist Li and Zhao Shun.”

Upon hearing this, Master Hanyu said coldly, "No need to pay attention to it, just focus on your cultivation."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Xuan replied respectfully.

Within the sect, whenever something happens, Master Hanyu will always be there to back him up.

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's answer, Master Hanyu's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

In her eyes.

Shen Xuan not only possesses exceptional talent in ice magic, but he is also a person of great loyalty and righteousness.

He has been a disciple of the Qingyun Sect for forty years.

He has never abused his power to bully others, nor has he ever violated the sect's rules.

Her temperament is somewhat similar to hers in her younger days.

He never takes advantage of his friends and is extremely kind to those around him.

At the same time, they are unwilling to suffer losses and will always seek revenge.

She regarded Shen Xuan as her successor.

In the future, once Shen Xuan condenses his inner core, the entire Cold Jade Peak will be passed down to him.

The matter of improving the Pure Foundation Pill was strongly supported by True Man Hanyu.

This action effectively improves the Dao Foundation grade of Shen Xuan and Liu Bingyu, greatly increasing their chances of forming their Core.

As for contributions to the sect, True Person Hanyu didn't place that much importance on them.

After an incense stick had burned, Lü Zhengying rushed over.

As before, the elixir was tested.

This time, Lu Zhengying said that she felt better than the previous five times.

Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi discussed it.

The two agreed to use this medicinal herb preparation as a starting point for optimization.

Reduce costs, enhance efficacy, and increase the success rate of pill formation.

These are all technological improvements.

It possesses Li Ruyi's expertise in alchemy and Shen Xuan's mysterious jade talisman.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Two months later, the improvement of the Jingji Dan formula will be completed.

Hear this.

Even the usually aloof Master Hanyu showed a hint of a smile.

All that hard work finally paid off.

Everyone offered their praise to Master Hanyu.

Shen Xuan said solemnly, “Everyone, this is our master’s secret technique and cannot be revealed to outsiders. Fellow Daoist Li, Junior Sister Liu, Junior Brother Lü, you must remember this: the new version of the Foundation Purification Pill was created by our master after spending countless hours and effort, consuming countless precious medicinal materials, and burying himself in research for many years.”

His gaze swept over them one by one.

Li Ruyi, Liu Bingyu, and Lü Zhengying all nodded in agreement.

“Especially Junior Brother Lü. If I’m not mistaken, Ge Chengming and the others from the Spirit Pill Hall might very well make trouble for you.”
