Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 411 Prolonging Life (Seeking Subscriptions)

Three months later.

Winter passes and spring comes.

On Cold Jade Peak, the ice and snow are melting.

The grass is growing tall and the birds are singing; the land is lush and green, full of the spirit of spring.

Master He, along with a team of over a dozen construction workers, worked diligently for a year and finally completed the construction of a near-third-tier alchemy room with dual water and fire elements, costing a staggering three million spirit stones.

During the inspection, Shen Xuan walked around and pointed out some minor issues.

Surprisingly, this time, Shen Xuan was quite polite and did not scold Lao He again.

Those minor issues prompted Lao He to return to work as soon as possible.

I readily paid the final balance.

Shen Xuan's brilliant move moved Lao He to tears and he was extremely grateful.

They vowed to rework and fix it.

Shen Xuan just laughed it off.

During this time, he stayed in Hanyu Peak, focusing on his cultivation.

Aside from alchemy and talisman-making, he rarely interacted with outsiders.

The Cold Jade Pill caused a huge uproar within the Qingyun Sect.

All the seed cultivators were sent back to the sect to register and use sect contribution points to purchase as many Cold Jade Pills as possible.

Fortunately, the Immortal of Longevity of Lingdan Hall, along with his disciples Ge Chengming and Huang Yuan, and his second disciple Hu Xiucheng who was in seclusion, worked together to refine the Cold Jade Pill.

This is barely enough to meet the needs of the Qingyun Sect disciples.

Meanwhile, when Master Hanyu first started refining pills, he was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Soon, she lost interest in refining the Cold Jade Pill.

After all, it would be a waste of a third-tier ice magic master's talents to have her refine second-tier mid-grade spiritual pills.

Shen Xuan then took out the formula for the Longevity Pill.

This is a longevity elixir that can extend the lifespan of a fake immortal.

A genuine Tier 3 special elixir.

The auction price reached two million spirit stones.

Not only is it difficult to refine, but its medicinal materials are all spiritual herbs of the third rank or above, which are difficult for ordinary sects to collect in full.

Master Hanyu humbled himself and asked Li Ruyi to teach him the art of refining the Longevity Pill.

He proposed to his senior brother, the Mysterious Master, to purchase some ingredients for the Longevity Pill.

I heard that Master Hanyu is going to refine the Longevity Pill, and he is 70% confident in his success.

The Lost Immortal naturally offered his strong support.

He transformed into an avatar and personally went to the Hundred Herbs Sect in the State of Lu to have a face-to-face meeting with its sect leader.

He spent a huge sum of six million spirit stones to purchase three portions of the ingredients for the Longevity Pill and let True Person Hanyu try them out.

The result is not bad.

With the assistance of Li Ruyi and Shen Xuan.

The first batch was wasted.

One pill was successfully produced in the second batch.

The third batch produced two pills.

The advancement of Master Hanyu's water-based alchemy was much easier than he had imagined.

It wasn't just because of the guidance from Li Ruyi and Shen Xuan.

The essence of Cold Jade True Person's ice spiritual power and her precise control over spiritual water enabled her to progress rapidly.

It only takes three furnaces to reach the break-even point.

Unfortunately, the Longevity Elixir is extremely precious.

Even after the Lost Immortal went to the Hundred Herbs Sect again, he could only purchase two portions of medicinal herbs.

Baicaozong frankly admitted that they had no inventory.

After refining five more Longevity Pills, Master Hanyu lost interest.

They looked down on the Cold Jade Pill even more.

Master Hanyu immediately went into seclusion to cultivate.

The task of refining the Cold Jade Pill was handed over to his personal disciple, Shen Xuan.

She even threw her third-grade spirit-level alchemy furnace into the alchemy room and lent it to Shen Xuan.

Faced with this, Shen Xuan could only smile wryly and accept the sect's mission to obtain the Cold Jade Pill.

After that, Shen Xuan stayed in the alchemy room and cave dwelling, rarely going out.

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

After breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Qingyun Sect habitually register their Cold Jade Pills at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall storeroom.

Fortunately, Li Ruyi and her apprentices helped with alchemy.

Shen Xuan only needs to focus on refining pills for the two days when the furnace is opened and sealed; the rest of the time, he can still concentrate on cultivation.

Shen Xuan benefited greatly from the wisp of the dragon's remnant soul he had encountered last time.

It not only slightly strengthened the power of the soul.

He has made progress in techniques related to the bloodline of the dragon, such as [Dragon Blood Boiling], [Size at Will], [Boundless Strength], and [Soaring Through the Clouds].

Even the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] has reached the eighth revolution of perfection, and is only one step away from breaking through to the ninth revolution and becoming a Dharma Aspect Realm Body Refiner.

However, this single line represents a vast difference in their levels of understanding.

Shen Xuan tried several times, but failed each time.

Unfortunately, there were far too few of those remaining soul fragments.

If there were more, perhaps one could truly use the power of the remnant soul of the dragon to break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm Body Refiner.

This left Shen Xuan wanting more even after refining the remnant soul of the dragon.

On the other hand, the sudden emergence of the Cold Jade Pill.

This caused Han Yu Zhenren's status within the sect to rise dramatically.

Similarly, Shen Xuan, as one of the only two direct disciples of Master Hanyu, received Master Hanyu's inheritance of alchemy and ice magic, and invitations from the sect poured in like snowflakes.

Shen Xuan's ability to refine the Cold Jade Pill was no secret within the sect.

Unfortunately, Shen Xuan simply didn't have time for socializing.

Behind these invitations are all families of cultivators from various sects.

It has been passed down for over a thousand years and has a profound foundation.

Our ancestors once produced a true alchemist, and there is at least one false alchemist in our clan.

Shen Xuan refused all offers, citing his busy schedule with alchemy.

He only wanted to improve the quality of his Dao foundation, cultivate in peace, break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and prepare for the Core Formation stage.

Shen Xuan politely declined the invitations from these families of cultivators.

The main approach is to avoid offending anyone while also maintaining a neutral stance.

He had no idea what these cultivation families were up to.

Even the Gu family sent out invitations.

Gu Jinqin frankly told him that the Gu family wanted to take him as their son-in-law.

Therefore, the Gu family carefully selected her niece, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

She was only thirty-eight years old, gentle and virtuous, and possessed a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in history.

"Third senior brother, you shouldn't go."

"Jinqin is afraid of you; she can't withstand the test."

"Being single is great! My niece seems gentle and virtuous, but actually, she's incredibly shrewd!"

"At least a dozen young men from prominent families were captivated by her."

Gu Jinqin betrayed her own niece without hesitation. "In that time, you'd be better off refining more Cold Jade Pills."

"Third Senior Brother, you're the third senior brother of Little Lonely Peak! Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, Fifth Junior Sister, and me too. You can't let your senior and junior sisters lack Cold Jade Pills!"

"If word gets out, it will not only disgrace you, Shen Xuan, but also your master."

"You know, Master values ​​his reputation the most!"

Gu Jinqin's true intentions were revealed at the last moment.

Shen Xuan made the promise with a smile.

I will definitely work hard to refine the Cold Jade Pill to ensure that all my senior and junior sisters have the necessary resources for cultivation.

Of course, it would be even better if they could provide the ingredients for the Cold Jade Pill.

Nowadays, most of the alchemy tasks fall to the Spirit Pill Hall.

There aren't many on Shen Xuan's side.

On this day, in the newly built Water Magic Pill Room, Shen Xuan used hand seals to condense the spiritual medicine solution into a pill.

The air was filled with the aroma of herbs.

With Shen Xuan's spiritual power infused into it, the medicinal solution condensed into four spiritual pills.

One of them even had five lines.

Shen Xuan glanced at the freshly made Cold Jade Pill and felt a little smug.

"The success rate of the pill is 50%, and the remaining one is of good quality."

Shen Xuan packed two ordinary Cold Jade Pills and handed them to the two alchemy apprentices beside him.

The other two, including one of good quality, were placed in his own elixir bottle.

The emperor doesn't starve his soldiers.

He handed over two Cold Jade Pills for every batch of medicinal herbs provided by the sect, which was very worthy of the sect's trust.

It is also the Cold Jade Pill.

The products from Hanyu Peak are much more sought after than those from Lingdan Hall.

The efficacy is higher, and the side effects such as erysipelas are less.

Some people with connections who have acquired the seeds for Core Formation purchase Cold Jade Pills specifically from Cold Jade Peak.

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, you two take these two Cold Jade Pills to the storeroom."

Ding Qingfeng and Shangguan Mingyue are the alchemy apprentices that Shen Xuan selected from the Ding and Shangguan families.

At fifteen or sixteen years old, he possessed a mid-grade water-elemental root and was at the third level of Qi Refining.

They are all excellent seedlings for water-based alchemy masters.

Shen Xuan changed their names.

First, it serves as a reminder to the two of their current identities: alchemy apprentices.

Secondly, differentiate the name from the family and appropriately distance it from the original family.

The water-based alchemy method is quite time-consuming.

Even with a third-tier spiritual artifact alchemy furnace and a near-third-tier alchemy room.

The water method has ten steps, and Shen Xuan needs seven days to complete it.

Aside from the first and last two days, the two apprentices were responsible for guarding the place for the next five days.

Li Ruyi would come to inspect the alchemy process every day.

Occasionally, he would give the two some pointers on Taoist alchemy.

Shen Xuan's hands-on approach, allowing the two of them to witness the entire process of refining pills, served as the best form of instruction.

When he was in a good mood, he would also give them some simple pointers on elixirs.

With two loyal alchemy apprentices, Shen Xuan could save a lot of time in alchemy.

He couldn't possibly devote all his energy to alchemy.

The key is to focus on daily practice and improving one's strength.

"obey"

Ding Qingfeng accepted the pills and respectfully led Shangguan Mingyue out of the alchemy room.

Shen Xuan glanced at the mysterious jade talisman.

[Pure Foundation Pill: Minor Success (418/800)]

【Daoyun: 61388】

Although it is named Cold Jade Pill.

However, the skill proficiency of the Purification Pill is still displayed on the mysterious jade talisman.

Clearly, the mysterious jade talisman implies that the Cold Jade Pill is the Foundation Purification Pill.

Both have the same medicinal effects, similar principles, and the same alchemy methods.

Shen Xuan kept the Daoist essence within him, but never used it.

After refining the Dragon Soul Stone, I gained two thousand points of Daoist aura.

"In the past year and a half, I have accumulated a great deal of experience with the Pure Foundation Pill!"

Shen Xuan's skill in making Cold Jade Pills has improved considerably, and he has achieved more than half of the initial mastery.

Shen Xuan did the math.

He probably refined about eighty batches of Cold Jade Pills.

Three hundred pills were produced.

Such numerous opportunities to refine pills are rare for ordinary alchemists.

The materials were all provided by the sect or Xiaogufeng.

The third-tier spiritual artifact alchemy furnace and the near-third-tier alchemy room are readily available.

They also had the help of experienced alchemists like Li Ruyi.

Shen Xuan only needs to focus on refining pills.

Under these conditions, it would be difficult for Shen Xuan's alchemy skills not to improve rapidly.

"That's about enough. In a little while, I'll find an opportunity to slip away from the alchemy business."

In any case, the Immortal of Longevity of Lingdan Hall and his three personal disciples can all refine Cold Jade Pills.

The absence of Hanyu Peak's Hanyu Pills will not affect the overall situation.

At this time, Shen Xuan was 125 years old.

He cultivated for seven years at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

In another two or three years, he will surely be able to break through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

At that time, our strength will increase even further.

【Shouyuan: 125/322】

I don't know if it's the "White Bone Contemplation Inner Visualization Method," the improvement of the foundation of one's spiritual path, or a combination of both.

Shen Xuan's lifespan has increased by two years.

"If this continues, won't I become immortal?"

However, Shen Xuan was just joking.

Whether it's the "White Bone Contemplation Inner Visualization Method" or the "Frosty Jade Pill," the initial effects are the most obvious.

Currently, Shen Xuan's [White Bone Observation Inner Vision Method] has just entered the third realm, namely the [White Bone Flowing Light Observation] realm.

During spiritual practice, the body becomes like white bones.

Within the skeleton, at the location of the Yuzhen acupoint in the brain, a red pearl emerged.

It was bright red and extremely hot, emitting red divine light and energy that illuminated the entire body's bones, and the energy spread throughout the entire body's bones.

Shen Xuan could sense that this [White Bone Observation Inner Vision Method] was extremely beneficial to his spiritual and physical cultivation.

It's not just about prolonging life.
