Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 419 Breakthrough in Realm (Seeking Subscriptions)

The Qingyun Sect acted swiftly.

Ten days after the declaration of war, the personnel to be sent to the front were determined.

Led by five great masters, a hundred spaceships were deployed, mainly composed of disciples from the Spirit Sword Peak Battle Hall, and flew to the Medicine God Valley's territory.

The backyard of the cave.

Shen Xuan served Liu Bingyu a plate of fragrant Deep Sea Divine Beef.

"Here, try this. It was carefully prepared by Xue'er."

During this period, I heard that Shen Xuan was going to keep eating Deep Sea God Beef.

Su Xueer cooked in various ways: boiling, stir-frying, quick-frying, marinating, braising, grilling, making soup, beef balls, and so on.

Today's dish is stir-fried beef with king oyster mushrooms, smooth but not greasy.

Liu Bingyu didn't stand on ceremony. She stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a slice of beef, and chewed it carefully.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Shen Xuan tasted the Deep Sea Divine Beef and found it to be indeed delicious and flavorful.

Eat your fill, your mouth is covered in oil.

"Senior brother, why does Bingyu feel that Master really wants to go out and fight?"

"Be confident and take the feeling out of it."

This expedition was personally led by Master Mizong, with Master Yinxiang temporarily taking charge of the sect.

Four of the five Golden Core cultivators left: the Lost Traces Master, the Spirit Sword Master, the Heavenly Wind Master, and the Heavenly Thunder Master.

The remaining person was their master, Master Hanyu.

All of them are real people who are good at fighting.

"Senior brother, why didn't Senior Uncle Lingxiao go?"

In theory, as a Golden Core cultivator, Lingxiao Zhenren's combat power is stronger than Hanyu Zhenren's.

"There are two reasons. One is that Senior Uncle Lingxiao's Enforcement Hall is in an important position and cannot be left easily."

"Another reason is that Master wanted to fight, and Uncle-Master Lingxiao asked Master to go."

Liu Bingyu pouted, "Master is the same. Isn't it better to stay on Cold Jade Peak? Why do you have to go out and fight!"

"If something goes wrong and my body is damaged, that would be terrible!"

Shen Xuan disagreed.

"Don't worry, Master will be fine."

Shen Xuan felt that Han Yu Zhenren's strength was similar to that of Ling Xiao Zhenren.

Even if there are differences, they are so small as to be negligible.

Most importantly, Master Hanyu is now a third-tier water-based alchemist.

Based solely on this identity, the Golden Core cultivators of the Qingyun Sect would not allow Hanyu Zhenren to suffer any harm.

After all, there aren't many third-tier alchemists in the entire Song Kingdom.

The Cold Jade Pill was named after his Taoist name.

The more Qingyun Sect made a big show of it, the more confident Shen Xuan felt.

……

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Intelligence has arrived from the front.

The Qingyun Sect's expeditionary force successfully captured the adjacent Chenxiang Immortal City, which belonged to both sects.

Shen Xuan glanced at the map and understood the intentions of the Qingyun Sect's higher-ups.

Three hundred miles away from the Eastern Purple Qi Immortal City lies the East Sea.

The Southern Heavenly Treasure Immortal City is adjacent to the jurisdiction of the Golden Sun Sect.

The Northern Celestial City lies beyond the desolate wilderness.

None of these three directions are suitable for expansion.

A thousand miles west of the Western Sea Moon Immortal City lies the Agarwood Immortal City of Medicine God Valley.

This is a large immortal city on the border of the Medicine God Valley, with a status equivalent to the five major immortal cities of the Qingyun Sect.

It is built on a third-order spiritual vein.

Medicine God Valley dispatched a True Pill Master to garrison the Incense Immortal City.

However, under pressure from the five great masters of the Qingyun Sect and a hundred spaceships, they were forced to announce their surrender.

Over the years, the strength of the Qingyun Sect has gradually increased.

Among the new Core Formation seeds, three to five True Core Realm Masters will emerge.

That is, more than ten years.

However, within the Qingyun Sect, there are only eighteen third-order spiritual veins.

All the third-tier spiritual veins in the Song Kingdom are occupied by sects; none of them are unclaimed.

Even in the East Sea and the Wilderness Plains, the third-tier spiritual veins are occupied by powerful demons.

Cultivating and upgrading spiritual veins is a long-term process.

It requires not only skilled array masters, but also a massive amount of spirit stones.

Previously, the Qingyun Sect's finances were quite strained.

The sect's income and expenditure were barely balanced.

They didn't invest too much in cultivating the spiritual veins.

The fiscal situation has improved in recent years.

Over the course of more than a decade, it may be possible to cultivate and upgrade some second-tier spiritual veins.

A third-tier spiritual vein is absolutely impossible.

It has been at least a hundred years.

Launching wars against other sects and seizing their third-tier spiritual veins for one's own use is a good way to solve the problem of too many monks and too little porridge.

Hu Xiucheng entered the Valley of the Medicine God.

With the soul-binding restriction lifted, the recipe for the Cold Jade Pill is inevitably lost.

Since that's the case, the Qingyun Sect simply seized the Chenxiang Immortal City of Medicine God Valley and took control of a third-tier spiritual vein first.

Once it's in your mouth, it's yours; you'll never spit it out.

The same applies to Medicine God Valley and Qingyun Sect.

……

Another three months passed.

The Qingyun Sect has completed the reorganization of personnel and defenses in Chenxiang Immortal City.

The army from Medicine God Valley followed.

The two sides were locked in a tense standoff three hundred miles outside Chenxiang Immortal City.

The war is about to start.

Shen Xuan, however, knew.

A fight is unlikely.

the reason is simple.

Both Qingyun Sect and Yaoshen Valley, which are among the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom, have Nascent Soul True Monarchs in charge.

Neither sect had the ability to eliminate the other.

Both sides will exercise restraint.

The two wars were contained within a certain scope.

In the Immortal City of Agarwood, the True Man of Medicine God Valley was the first to surrender, choosing not to make a pointless sacrifice.

The Qingyun Sect only imprisoned the people of the Medicine God Valley; they did not kill them.

They were kept as bargaining chips for future negotiations.

really.

Some time passed.

A battle report has arrived from the front.

Medicine God Valley admitted that Hu Xiucheng was a spy for their sect.

He joined the Medicine God Valley a long time ago and was dispatched to the territory of the Qingyun Sect.

After passing the sect test of Qingyun Sect, he was ordered to go into hiding for a long period of time.

This person was only activated when the Cold Jade Pill appeared.

However, Medicine God Valley also managed to get rid of the four captured disciples.

They were all spies planted by the Qingyun Sect in the Medicine God Valley.

One of them was also a direct disciple of the Medicine God Valley.

Everyone is tacit.

The two sides clashed and each held their own version of events.

"Yes, the more this is the case, the less likely a fight will break out."

A true war of annihilation doesn't reason with you.

Major sects are all very arrogant.

Wherever there is an excuse to be unreasonable, then we will be unreasonable.

If we're being reasonable, then they were forced into this situation.

Strength alone cannot completely suppress the opponent.

The two armies faced off in front of Chenxiang City for several months.

Both the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect dispatched high-ranking officials to come and offer their advice.

The other three sects, Divine Sword Sect, Thousand Machine Sect, and Beast Emperor Pavilion, also had real people present.

However, it is different from the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect.

The last three cases seem more like people just there to watch the show.

As the standoff between the two cases drags on.

The likelihood of the two factions launching a major war is decreasing.

Both sides suffered losses and neither was willing to back down.

But if it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, it will be a lose-lose situation where both sides are severely injured.

It hasn't gotten to that point yet.

Ultimately, the matter was resolved through the mediation of five sects, including the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect.

Both sides agreed that real people would engage in a duel, best of five rounds, to determine the ownership of Chenxiang Immortal City.

Shen Xuan sighed with regret upon learning of the stone.

Witnessing a battle between Golden Core cultivators would greatly benefit one's cultivation.

The duel between the two individuals ended soon after.

The Qingyun Sect's punitive expeditionary force returned victorious to the sect.

Under the witness of the Xuantian Sect, Jinyang Sect, and the other five sects.

In the duel between the two sects' true masters, the Qingyun Sect easily won with a score of four to one.

The only match they lost was against Master Tianlei.

His opponent, the Mysterious True Man of Medicine God Valley, took out a strangely shaped treasure mirror that could absorb the spiritual power of thunder from his various thunder spells.

This completely restrained Tianlei Zhenren, leaving him with no choice but to admit defeat.

There was a little incident during that time.

The Qingyun Sect had already won three out of four rounds.

Han Yu Zhenren, who was ranked last, could have chosen not to participate.

However, Master Hanyu was relentless and insisted on going on stage to continue the battle.

Her opponent was the Golden Elixir Master Xuan Ying from the Medicine God Valley.

According to intelligence reports.

For some time now, Master Xuan Ying has been lurking outside the Qingyun Sect.

This person was in charge of receiving Hu Xiucheng and lifting the soul restriction.

The battle between Master Hanyu and Master Xuanying was evenly matched.

The battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth seemed to tremble, and it lasted for a full two hours.

What is unexpected is.

In the end, it was Xuan Ying Zhenren who ran out of spiritual energy and could not hold on any longer, so he took the initiative to admit defeat.

Of course, some discerning people can see it.

Master Xuan Ying doesn't want to fight anymore.

If they continue fighting, both of them will suffer damage to their vital essence.

Anyway, Medicine God Valley lost the bet.

Master Xuan Ying conceded defeat, which did not affect the outcome.

despite this.

With an ordinary True Core cultivator, he defeated a Golden Core cultivator, making True Person Hanyu quite the show of his abilities.

……

The formula for the Cold Jade Elixir was deciphered by the Medicine God Valley.

Using this as a pretext, the Qingyun Sect launched a sect war.

With lightning speed, they seized the City of Agarwood.

They then defeated Medicine God Valley in a real battle, securing their victory.

In this way, the Qingyun Sect still came out on top.

It should be noted that third-tier spiritual veins within the Song Kingdom are extremely rare.

Moreover, this is a mature, large-scale immortal city like Chenxiang Immortal City.

After losing the battle, Medicine God Valley had no choice but to sign a ceasefire agreement.

The Qingyun Sect released all the prisoners from the Medicine God Valley.

The army of Medicine God Valley retreated in resentment.

Three hundred miles in front of Chenxiang Immortal City, a medium-sized immortal city was rebuilt as an outpost for the two sects.

This sect war lasted for a year on and off.

The story ended with the Qingyun Sect acquiring the Chenxiang Immortal City.

The Qingyun Sect will no longer pursue the matter of the Cold Jade Elixir formula.

……

Cave.

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan closed his eyes slightly, sat cross-legged, his five palms facing the sky, and was breaking through.

His body, like a black hole, continuously absorbed the rich spiritual energy in the room.

His appearance was solemn and dignified, radiating divine light.

From the surface of the skin to the bones and internal organs, everything presents a faint jade-white color.

This is an outward manifestation of successful ice magic training.

Within the dantian, in the center of the seven-colored lotus, another lotus petal grew, pure jade white, radiant and beautiful.

The spiritual sea of ​​Dao Foundation shrank by almost half in an instant.

The white lotus petal suddenly grew to the same size as the other seven lotus petals.

Before long, they linked together and began to shine with precious light.

However, at this moment, no matter what color the petals of the Seven-Colored Lotus changed to, they were always mixed with a touch of jade white.

"He's reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment!"

Shen Xuan's aura suddenly surged.

Within a radius of ten feet, all spiritual energy transformed into wisps of icy mist.

At this moment, Shen Xuan's control over water elemental power had reached a state of perfection.

Water elemental power can be converted into ice elemental power with greater power at any time.

Shen Xuan focused his inner vision on his dantian.

The seven-colored lotus, its petals subtly transforming into a lotus platform, is shrouded in celestial mist.

Some extremely mysterious Dao patterns appeared and disappeared.

"Breaking through a barrier every nine years, that's not slow."

The existence of the Seven-Colored Lotus means that Shen Xuan's cultivation requires several times the amount of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan's cave is rich in spiritual energy and contains top-grade divine beef, which can be used to refine spiritual power.

This prevented any delays in the cultivation process.

After breaking through the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The size of the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea has increased again.

It is estimated to be around 25%.

After establishing a foundation, breakthroughs in minor stages generally increase spiritual energy capacity by about 20%.

The minor realm is three to five percent.

After Shen Xuan used the Cold Jade Pill, his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea actually shrank a bit.

After nurturing the Seven-Colored Lotus, the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea shrank slightly again.

Only then did his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea return to its original size.

However, the purity of the spiritual energy is much stronger than before.

In other words, his liquid spiritual energy was compressed more solidly.

This will also help with future breakthroughs in Core Formation.

In magical combat, casting spells is faster, more powerful, and has a stronger explosive force.

Let's take another look at the mysterious jade talisman.

Lifespan: 127/327.

It added a full five years to his lifespan.

This also confirmed Shen Xuan's guess.

When he completes his foundation building, his lifespan will be comparable to that of a pseudo-elixir cultivator, starting at 350 years.

"Therefore, I must be even more cautious. Below the level of a true master, all are but ants."

"Although the two sects have ceased hostilities, all the Grand Masters of the Grand Sects know that I possess the formula for the Cold Jade Pill."
