Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 414 Lonely Peak Treasure Shop (Please Subscribe)

one year later.

Cold Jade Peak.

The cave dwelling, the training room.

Shen Xuan opened his eyes and slowly finished his practice.

Within the dantian, the spiritual sea of ​​the Dao foundation, the seven-colored lotus radiates a restrained, deep blue-green light, swaying gracefully.

That year, Shen Xuan devoted most of his energy to nurturing the Seven-Colored Lotus.

Now, they have finally merged into one, completely concealing the aura of the Seven-Colored Lotus.

"Truly worthy of being a spiritual treasure embryo!"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

Nowadays, during his daily cultivation, the spiritual energy he absorbs is distributed 30% to 70% between his physical body and the Seven-Colored Lotus.

Seventy percent of them are seven-colored lotuses.

He can only absorb 30%.

As a result, Shen Xuan's cultivation consumption is more than three times that of other cultivators of the same level.

This is just the beginning.

After the Seven-Colored Lotus matures, who knows how much spiritual energy it will absorb!
"So, the higher one's cultivation level, the less one should act rashly?"

"When high-level cultivators fight, they fight with real money."

"If there is any damage, treatment and repair will require many rare spiritual items."

Shen Xuan vaguely understood why all parties had reached a tacit agreement to prohibit the real-life Demon King and Demon Lord from taking action at will.

This level of cultivation has been reached.

It's difficult to condemn someone outright.

If the conflict continues, both sides will only suffer losses.

"Wealth, companions, laws, and land; without wealth, the path is cut off."

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

Although the Seven-Colored Lotus consumes a great deal of resources, its effects are equally remarkable.

The first thing is the purification effect.

The Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea, internal organs, meridians, bones and muscles within Shen Xuan's body were all purified by the Seven-Colored Lotus.

Now, Shen Xuan's Dao foundation is definitely of the superior grade.

The purifying effect of the Seven-Colored Lotus was much stronger than the sixty Cold Jade Pills he had taken earlier.

Shen Xuan felt as if he had been reborn.

Secondly, it can strengthen the soul.

Under the illumination of the Seven-Colored Lotus, Shen Xuan's soul and consciousness both grew stronger.

This growth is not usually noticeable; it is the result of a long-term, gradual process.

As time goes by, the difference between before and after becomes apparent.

Shen Xuan's soul and consciousness are comparable to those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak.

It hasn't been buffed in a long time.

Over the past year, Shen Xuan has clearly felt that his soul and consciousness have become stronger.

Approximately one or two percent.

Although not many.

But this is only the result of one year.

If accumulated over many years, the total becomes quite considerable.

As for the other effects of the Seven-Colored Lotus, such as exorcising demons and evil spirits, healing wounds and prolonging life, improving cultivation, and breaking through realms, Shen Xuan has not yet experienced them.

In any case, obtaining the Seven-Colored Lotus as one's natal spiritual treasure is worth any price.

Besides, it only consumes a few more spirit stones now.

Shen Xuan paid his respects to the Immortal Hanyu.

It was confirmed that the energy of the Seven-Colored Lotus was completely concealed.

Even the Cold Jade Immortal could not detect the aura of the Seven-Colored Lotus.

Only then did he feel relieved.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even dare to leave Hanyu Peak.

Master Hanyu advised, "Shen Xuan, to be on the safe side, you should not leave the peak for the time being. Consolidate your strength for a while before making any moves."

"Yes, Master, that is also my plan."

Shen Xuan still has two million spirit stones on him.

There's no need to worry about cultivation resources for now.

The seven-colored lotus can purify one's spiritual foundation and physical body.

This also means that Shen Xuan can once again use [Gnawing on All Things] to refine the spiritual energy in the flesh of demonic beasts.

It has been more than two years since I returned to my sect.

That iceberg bear king had long been devoured by him.

It's a top-tier Tier 2 specimen with excellent meat quality, far superior to that stealthy demon shark.

Unfortunately, acquiring more Tier 2 top-grade water-attribute monster meat won't be so easy.

He later acquired the Iron-Mouthed Sea Crocodile, which he then transformed into a Corpse Beast.

Moreover, he wasn't very interested in crocodile meat.

Shen Xuan proposed this to Master Hanyu.

Please ask her to help acquire a second-tier water-attribute monster.

Ideally, they should be large and have beautiful flesh.

Shen Xuan frankly admitted that he wanted to refine the flesh of demonic beasts to provide spiritual power for the Seven-Colored Lotus.

Otherwise, his cultivation speed will slow down, affecting his subsequent breakthroughs and advancements.

You don't need the demon core or the weapon refining part.

All that's needed is monster meat and essence blood.

Master Hanyu agreed.

After leaving the blessed land.

Shen Xuan went to the alchemy room.

After acquiring the Moon Soul Jade, Li Ruyi's cultivation level quickly recovered.

Six months ago, he broke through to the late stage of Soul Foundation in one fell swoop.

This also means that Li Ruyi's Netherworld Dao Body has become more solid.

Although it cannot yet communicate with spirits, command deities, or summon spirits and generals.

However, he has already been able to turn the illusory into the real and accurately control the alchemical fire, and can personally refine spiritual pills.

Shen Xuan asked Lü Zhengying to borrow a second-grade high-quality fire-based alchemy furnace from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Without any hesitation, he handed over the task of refining the Cold Jade Pill to Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi, who owes a huge debt, doesn't know how many years he will need to refine elixirs to pay it off.

At this moment, Li Ruyi was refining elixirs.

Shen Xuan observed from the side for a while.

With one set of Cold Jade Pill ingredients, Li Ruyi made four pills.

One of them was even a good grade.

His alchemical skills far surpass those of Shen Xuan.

However, due to insufficient internal energy, he found it somewhat difficult to control the internal fire.

After quietly observing Li Ruyi's process of condensing the elixir, Shen Xuan gained insights and improved his own alchemy skills.

Return to the cave.

Shen Xuan sent out a communication talisman.

Soon, Lü Zhengying rushed over.

They and Gu Jinqin opened a shop in the Liuguang Market within the sect.

Shen Xuan instructed Lü Zhengying that it was time to start a new business.

……

In the Qingyun Sect's Liuguang Market, on the main street, a group of more than ten sect members, their faces covered in dust, entered the market.

The leading male cultivator exuded an aura that clearly indicated he was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Senior Brother, you're finally back!"

Behind him, a tall, thin male cultivator with a slightly youthful face spoke with a hint of excitement.

"Our Purple Qi lineage has achieved a great victory over the Corpse Refining Sect's demonic cultivators in Wuyang County. This is a cause for celebration!"

Another clever, short monk seized the opportunity to speak.

"Senior Brother, I think what Senior Brother Seven and Senior Brother Nine said makes sense."

One of the female cultivators in yellow robes in the group spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, the leading male cultivator nodded slightly.

"Thirteenth Junior Sister is right. Let's go to Juxian Restaurant first."

"Senior Brother is wise!"

The group laughed and headed towards Juxian Restaurant.

"Hey, this shop..."

In the group, a more mature-looking monk pointed to a shop.

There was a mirror-shaped ritual implement there, with several lines of large characters flashing on it.

"We offer high prices for all kinds of demonic creatures, magical treasures, Nascent Soul demonic creatures, and the essence and blood of high-level water-attribute magical beasts."

The experienced cultivator asked, "Senior Brother, shall we go in and take a look?"

The leading male cultivator glanced at the female cultivator in yellow.

"Let's go in and take a look. It won't take much time."

"Go and see!"

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the shop's sign read "Gufengbao Shop".

"Named after Lone Peak, was it established by the senior brother of the Lone Peak lineage?"

The experienced monk murmured to himself.

"Alright, my second junior brother, thirteenth junior sister, and I will go in and take a look. You guys go to Juxian Restaurant to order some food first."

"That's what the leading male cultivator said."

"Alright. Senior Brother, let's go first."

The other disciples bowed in farewell.

At this moment, inside the shop.

Lü Zhengying is reviewing the store's transaction records.

Upon seeing the leading male cultivator enter, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Welcome, welcome. I am Lü Zhengying from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. May I ask which senior brother you are?"

Lu Zhengying put on a big smile and showed great respect to the leading male cultivator.

He served in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for many years.

With just one glance, one could tell that the other party was a direct disciple of a master, a seed for Core Formation.

"Purple Qi Peak, Zhuo Yuanhang".

The leading male cultivator said calmly.

"So it's Senior Brother Zhuo from Ziqi Peak! I've heard so much about you!"

Lü Zhengying quickly clasped her hands in a gesture of respect.

This is the senior disciple of Ziqi Peak, a truly important client.

How do you deal with monsters here?

"I'll buy it at 30% of the price, based on its grade."

"Only 30% off?"

Behind him, the second senior brother said with some dissatisfaction.

"Senior brother, 30% off is not low, as these are all second-hand items and are demonic objects. If you hand them over to the sect's miscellaneous affairs hall, you can get 20% off."

Lu Zhengying said with a smile, "Junior brother is in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, in charge of purchasing spiritual items."

Zhuo Yuanhang waved his hand to stop his junior brother from speaking.

“A 30% discount on a spiritual item of the same level is indeed not low. Since Junior Brother Lü is in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he must be familiar with the market prices of various spiritual items.”

"However, these prices only apply to ordinary demonic creatures. Are high-grade demonic treasures and Core Formation demonic creatures also priced this way?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhengying's eyes lit up.

"This is not the place to talk. Please follow me to the inner courtyard to discuss this matter."

"it is good!"

As they were all disciples of the same sect and within the sect, Zhuo Yuanhang and his two companions were naturally not afraid of Lü Zhengying causing trouble.

The four entered a secret room, which was protected by a shielding array.

Lü Zhengying personally brewed spiritual tea for the three of them.

"Senior brothers and junior sister, speaking of which, Xu Shaopeng from your lineage and I are good friends. We're all on the same side."

"Oh."

Zhuo Yuanfeng smiled slightly and said, "Since he is Junior Brother Xu's good friend, then he is truly one of us."

"A top-grade magical treasure can be purchased at 40% of the price of a similarly ranked spiritual item."

"As for Core Formation demonic creatures and the essence blood of high-level water-attribute demonic beasts, it depends on their rank."

Lu Zhengying said solemnly, "To be honest, this is the highest price. Demonic cultivator items are second-hand items, so they can't possibly be sold at the same price as spiritual items."

Zhuo Yuanfeng nodded.

"I understand. This treasure shop is called 'Lone Peak Treasure Shop.' What is its connection to the Lone Peak Immortal?"

"Apart from Mr. Lü, all the other shareholders are disciples personally taught by Master Gufeng."

"Is Shen Xuan involved?"

Lu Zhengying said solemnly, "Senior Brother Shen is the major shareholder of this shop."

Zhuo Yuanhang tapped the jade table lightly with his fingers.

"I see! That makes things easier."

"As for the price, it will be 40% of Junior Brother Lü's. However, I have a small request."

"Senior Brother Zhuo, please come in."

Zhuo Yuanhang took out a storage bag and emptied its contents.

Of the three magical treasures, two are of superior quality, and the other, a black jade magical sword, is of the highest quality.

"I don't want spirit stones. I want to exchange them for thunder spirit orbs of equal value, or thunder talismans made by Senior Brother Shen."

Lu Zhengying glanced at the magic treasure on the jade table and shook her head.

“Senior Brother Zhuo, a high-grade magic treasure costs 80,000 spirit stones. A top-grade magic treasure costs 160,000 spirit stones. I can only exchange 20% of your magic treasures for Thunder Spirit Pearls. 128 Thunder Spirit Pearls will be used to offset 64,000 spirit stones.”

Zhuo Yuanhang asked, "Then how about using a thunder talisman instead? Is that not acceptable?"

"Senior Brother Zhuo, I'm sorry."

Although Lü Zhengying was smiling, her attitude of refusal was very firm.

Shen Xuan confessed that acquiring Mobao was just a side project and didn't make much money.

It is impossible to sacrifice strategic spiritual objects such as Thunder Spirit Orbs and Thunder Talismans for this.

Lu Zhengying agreed to give 128 Thunder Spirit Pearls, mainly because Zhuo Yuanhang was the senior disciple of Ziqi Peak and a potential Core Formation cultivator.

Since Zhuo Yuanhang had already spoken, in front of his junior brothers and sisters, he gave him some face and did not refuse outright.

What Shen Xuan really wanted to acquire were the essence blood of Core Formation demonic creatures and high-level water-attribute demonic beasts.

"Alright! Let's do as Junior Brother Lü says, and make the deal."

Zhuo Yuanfeng said no more.

After the transaction was completed, Zhuo Yuanfeng handed the Thunder Spirit Pearl and the spirit stone to his junior sister behind him.

Lü Zhengying said with a smile, "Thank you for your care, Senior Brother Zhuo."

"No, it's all about mutual benefit!"

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhuo, if you have any Core Formation demonic creatures or high-level water-attribute demonic beast blood essence, I can buy them at a high price."

Lu Zhengying reminded him with a smile.
