Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 417 The Shadow of the Sect (Seeking Subscriptions)

now.

In Ge Chengming's secret room.

A demonic eye peeked out from between Ge Chengming's eyebrows, chattering incessantly.

"Brother Ge, you have to think of a way to lure Shen Xuan out of the Qingyun Sect."

"He's been hiding on Cold Jade Peak, acting like a coward. The Medicine God Valley is getting impatient."

Ge Chengming calmly said, "Shen Xuan won't believe me."

"You took their Golden Core pills!"

"The Demon Eye said viciously."

"I have completed the deal with Medicine God Valley."

Ge Chengming said coldly, "The intelligence was given to them. It's their problem if they can't catch Shen Xuan."

"You can't say that!"

The Demon Eye's eyes darted around: "We're all in the same boat. If the boat capsizes, nobody will be happy. Brother Ge, you should think of a solution."

Ge Chengming fell into deep thought.

More than anyone else, he wanted Shen Xuan to be captured by Medicine God Valley.

It was best that Shen Xuan remained steadfast and unyielding, so the True Man of Medicine God Valley searched his soul and turned him into an idiot.

"Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord, do you have a way to temporarily bewitch his mind?"

The demonic eye swayed repeatedly.

"No."

“If I show my face within the Qingyun Sect and am detected by the sect's protective formation, you won't fare well either.”

"Besides, Shen Xuan is a man that no one but a true immortal can defeat. My true form is not here, and I have no confidence in making a move with just this one eye."

Ge Chengming felt a surge of contempt.

Ultimately, even the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord couldn't do anything about Shen Xuan.

"I have intelligence that this person is collecting the essence blood of Core Formation demonic creatures and high-level demonic beasts."

Ge Chengming looked at the Demon Eye, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The Demon Eye pondered for a moment and said, "I can have two items delivered. You send someone to lead him to the outside of the Qingyun Sect for the transaction."

Ge Chengming's eyes lit up: "Then, let the people from Medicine God Valley go to the trading location to arrest him?"

"No, intercept midway."

The Demon Eye said confidently, "You don't need to show yourself. Whether we succeed or fail, no one will suspect you."

Ge Chengming laughed and said, "That's a good idea. Let's give it a try!"

……

Qingyun Sect, Liuguang Market, Gufeng Treasure Shop.

Lu Zhengying looked at the cultivator who had concealed his identity with some curiosity.

He must be a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, for some reason, the other party insisted on wearing a cloak and mask that could block divine sense from probing.

This made him stand out in the Lone Peak Treasure House.

"Senior brother, is there something you need?"

“I saw a sign outside your shop advertising that you’re buying the essence blood of Core Formation demons and high-level demon beasts at high prices.”

"good."

Do you recognize these two treasures?

The masked monk took out a pitch-black Yin Pearl and a piece of demonic beast blood with a pungent, foul odor.

"This is... the Nine-Turn Yin Marrow Pearl, a Core Formation Demonic Being?"

The Nine-Turn Yin Marrow Pearl is made from the remains of cultivators.

Start by refining the corpses of cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining.

Each transformation increases the cultivator's cultivation level accordingly.

The ninth stage requires a cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lü Zhengying gasped.

He had only heard of the Nine-Turn Yin Marrow Pearl.

This is the first time I've seen this.

The eerie aura emanating from it sent chills down his spine and made him shudder.

Looking again at that deep blue essence of the magical beast, the demonic energy emanating from it was filled with a violent aura.

"What kind of magical beast's essence blood is this?"

"Blood Shadow Demon Wolf, Tier 2 Top Grade".

The masked monk asked, "Will you accept these two treasures?"

"receive."

Lü Zheng's tone was firm.

"I wonder what the price is for these two treasures, Senior Brother?"

"I don't want spirit stones. I only want Senior Brother Shen Xuan's Cold Jade Pill."

"can."

Lu Zhengying said with a smile, "I can take my senior brother to Hanyu Peak to have a face-to-face talk with Senior Brother Shen Xuan."

The masked cultivator shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient for me to go to Cold Jade Peak."

"Could you please ask Senior Brother Shen to come to Qingyun Immortal City for a face-to-face meeting?"

"Qingyun Immortal City?"

Lü Zhengying hesitated.

"I can't make that decision. How about I ask Senior Brother Shen? Please wait a moment, Senior Brother."

After speaking, Lü Zhengying took out a communication talisman and informed Shen Xuan of the matter.

the other side.

Upon receiving Lü Zhengying's message talisman, Shen Xuan was immediately filled with doubt.

“They are clearly disciples of a sect, but they deliberately conceal their identities in the sect's market.”

"If you won't come to Hanyu Peak for the trade, then let me go to Qingyun Immortal City for a face-to-face meeting."

Shen Xuan casually conjured up a [Good Fortune and Avoidance of Misfortune] spell.

My heart suddenly pounded violently.

"Damn, this is terrible!"

This feeling left a deep impression on Shen Xuan.

It is extremely dangerous.

It was so serious that it threatened lives.

"How cruel! They actually tried to poison me!"

Shen Xuan pondered.

"With the presence of True Person Guangwei in Qingyun Immortal City, along with a city-protecting formation, the thieves will certainly not dare to make a move within the city."

"That means they will make their move on the way from Qingyun Sect to Qingyun Immortal City."

"It seems that even the sect's airships are not safe now."

Since nothing has happened yet, Shen Xuan has no evidence.

However, Shen Xuan was not afraid of disciples who were only at the Foundation Establishment stage in the sect's Liuguang Market.

"Junior Brother Lü, keep this person here while I go to the shop to discuss things in detail."

After sending the message, Shen Xuan summoned the Silver Horned Pegasus and immediately headed to Liuguang Market.

However, when he arrived at the Lone Peak Treasure Ship...

All that could be seen was Lü Zhengying with a bitter smile on her face.

"What about people?"

"gone."

"Didn't I tell you to keep him here?"

Lü Zhengying explained, "Senior Brother Shen, I also want to keep him here."

"But, for some reason, the man suddenly said he had something to do and turned to leave."

"According to the sect's rules, no disciple in the sect may take action, regardless of the reason."

In fact, Lü Zhengying knew in his heart that even if he took action, he might not be a match for the other party.

"Never mind, they're after me anyway."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"They may have planted spies outside Hanyu Peak or outside Liuguang Market."

"Upon seeing me arrive, they immediately departed."

"Ah!" Lü Zhengying asked cautiously, "So, the other party isn't alone?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Lü Zhengying.

"What are you thinking! One person! You can even use Core Formation demonic creatures and demonic beast essence blood as bait!"

The reason why the other party went to such lengths must be because of the Cold Jade Elixir formula.

Although the three direct disciples of Lingdan Hall also knew the pill formula, they were bound by a soul restriction and could not reveal it to outsiders.

Besides these five, only the Mysterious Immortal, the Immortal of Longevity, the Immortal of Cold Jade, Li Ruyi, and himself knew about it.

Li Ruyi stayed on Hanyu Peak and would not leave the peak no matter what happened.

The other party didn't know much about Li Ruyi.

No one outside Cold Jade Peak knew that Li Ruyi had broken through to the late stage of Soul Foundation and was able to personally refine Cold Jade Pills.

But Shen Xuan is the successor of Han Yu Zhenren and has been refining Han Yu Dan.

This is also why Shen Xuan never leaves the sect.

The newly released second-tier special elixir formula has a broad market and enormous profits.

That could easily lead to one's death.

Lu Zhengying asked, "Could you please ask the Enforcement Hall to help investigate this person's identity?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but don't have too high hopes."

The other party merely concealed their identity and did not violate any sect rules.

The Enforcement Hall actually has no right to investigate.

However, for those in power, many things can be flexibly changed.

Shen Xuan turned around and went to the Hall of Law Enforcement, where he found He Zhengming.

Briefly recount the story of the Lone Peak Treasure.

"Senior Brother He, I suspect that someone is trying to kidnap me."

Shen Xuan spoke frankly.

"so serious!"

He Zhengming was quite surprised.

This is within the sect.

Who would be so bold as to kidnap a real disciple?

"They will most likely make their move on the sect's airship."

The sect's flying ships docked outside the Qingyun Sect's grand formation, shuttling between various immortal cities.

However, not all of the passengers were disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

Some passengers were visiting Qingyun Sect on business or to see friends.

Although there were disciples from the Battle Hall stationed on the sect's flying ship, they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But if the other party comes prepared.

It's not impossible to hijack a sect ship.

This kind of thing rarely happens.

However, several such incidents have indeed occurred in the history of the Qingyun Sect.

"What audacity! Don't worry, Junior Brother Shen, I'll start investigating right now!"

This is the advantage of having connections in high places.

Even if nothing happens.

For Shen Xuan's sake, He Zhengming would act swiftly and decisively, going all out.

"Junior Brother Shen, please have a seat. I'll be right back."

Shen Xuan knew that He Zhengming had gone to check the records of the sect's protective formation.

All areas within the Qingyun Sect are under the surveillance of the sect's protective array.

Once the masked monk is located, his whereabouts can be traced back to determine his post.

Then, by following the clues and asking questions one by one, the person's identity can be confirmed.

An hour later.

He Zhengming returned to the reception room with a solemn expression.

"Senior Brother He, have you been able to ascertain that person's identity?"

"Junior Brother Shen, I am ashamed!"

He Zhengming's face showed a hint of apology.

“That person came prepared. We did not see any trace of him outside Liuguang Market.”

Shen Xuan's heart sank.

"Did he change clothes in a blind spot of the sect's protective formation?"

"I suppose so."

Judging from this, this person must have a high social status.

"Where did he go after leaving Liuguang Market?"

"I don't know, I didn't see this person at all."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's very simple. This person is in a blind spot of the sect's protective array, so he disguises himself again and reverts to his original identity."

He Zhengming said in bewilderment, "Strange, how can this person be so familiar with the sect's protective array monitoring?"

"Because this person is a spy planted in the sect by the opposing forces!"

Shen Xuan reminded him.

Behind the hidden agents is a cultivation force of similar strength to the Qingyun Sect.

They also had intelligence support.

Otherwise, how could he have remained hidden within the Qingyun Sect for so long?

"This matter is of great importance. I should report it to my master."

"It should."

Having gained nothing, Shen Xuan took his leave from the Enforcement Hall and returned to Hanyu Peak.

This strengthened his resolve to stay on Cold Jade Peak and focus on his cultivation.

For safety's sake, Shen Xuan reported the matter to Master Hanyu.

After listening, Master Hanyu repeatedly instructed that one should not leave the peak unless absolutely necessary.

The best course of action is to take this opportunity to cultivate diligently and improve one's cultivation level as quickly as possible.

"As you command, Master."

Shen Xuan returned to his cave and secluded himself for intensive cultivation.

"Let's see who can hold their temper longer! When it comes to patience, I, Shen, have never lost!"

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

As long as the alarm remained, he stayed in Hanyu Peak, trying to survive.

He simply didn't believe that the other party had such good patience that they could keep waiting.

Moreover, the higher-ups of the Qingyun Sect will not stand idly by.

According to Lü Zhengying's observation.

This person's cultivation level is higher than his.

At least in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

With such a level of cultivation, one must be a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

There is a certain possibility that he is a key seed for Core Formation cultivation by the sect.

It turned out to be a spy for the opposing forces.

When it finally erupts, its destructive power is unimaginable.

It is said that Master Lingxiao was furious about this.

The entire Enforcement Hall was mobilized to conduct a thorough investigation of the sect.

Especially Foundation Establishment stage disciples.

They are also the key targets of the investigation.

"I hope you all won't disappoint me and won't give up halfway."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Master Lingxiao personally took action.

Shen Xuan did not believe that the spy and the forces behind him could get away with it unscathed.

This is the world of cultivation.

The Golden Elixir Immortal has many methods to distinguish the truth from falsehood in someone's words.

really.

A few days later, Shen Xuan heard some shocking news.

Hu Xiucheng of Lingdan Hall, the second disciple of the Immortal of Longevity, and an acquaintance of the Cold Jade Pill formula, has suddenly disappeared!
