Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 428 Immortal Golden Armor (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan suddenly realized.

No wonder Master Xuanwen was willing to offer the essence blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast.

It turns out they wanted to trade his spirit tortoise remains.

These old foxes are all incredibly cunning; none of them are easy to deal with.

Jade Pills, top-grade flying swords, and lightning array talismans—these special spiritual items in the eyes of Foundation Establishment cultivators are merely slightly valuable trinkets in the eyes of True Immortals.

They can't use it.

Only third-tier spiritual items are considered truly valuable treasures in their eyes.

Master Hanyu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Xuanweng, the remains of Master Cangming's Spirit-Communicating Xuan Turtle are indeed in my disciple's hands. However, trading them for the essence blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast is somewhat of a loss."

Generally speaking, the most valuable part of a third-tier demon king's corpse is its demon core, followed by important parts, then the demon beast meat, and finally its essence and blood.

Master Xuanwen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Hanyu, this has always been the way of trading third-tier spiritual items."

"Alright, I'll add another Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman. This is a special third-tier talisman that can locate and teleport. It could save his life in a critical moment."

Master Hanyu discussed it with Shen Xuan.

Upon learning that the Xuanfeng Teleportation Talisman could pinpoint and teleport within a range of tens of thousands of miles, Shen Xuan readily accepted the offer.

Although the remains of the Spirit Tortoise are valuable, he has no use for them now.

After he refines it and forges it into a defensive magical artifact, who knows when that will be.

Moreover, he now possesses a spiritual artifact embryo, the Purple-Gold True Water Seal, which combines offense and defense and can already be activated for several breaths, nurtured within his dantian.

The essence and blood of the Golden-Eyed Beast of the Jade Water was exactly what he desperately needed.

Not only can one obtain a large amount of Daoist essence.

It is also possible that his water elemental root aptitude will break through to 90 points in one fell swoop, reaching the standard of immortal elemental root.

In this way, his cultivation efficiency and effectiveness will be slightly improved.

More importantly, it significantly boosted his chances of breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

The Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman is a Tier 3 life-saving talisman.

The materials used are precious, and the talisman is extremely difficult to make.

It is said that only a third-tier high-grade talisman master can create it.

This was extremely rare throughout the entire Song Kingdom.

Even if the value is slightly different, Shen Xuan is willing to make the transaction.

Han Yu Zhenren replaced Shen Xuan and completed the transaction with Xuan Wen Zhenren.

Shen Xuan carefully put away the essence blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast and the Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman.

At that moment, someone coughed softly.

Everyone looked at it.

It was none other than the Fiery Sun Immortal.

"Shen Xuan, wait a moment."

"I am quite interested in these little trinkets of yours."

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

"I do not possess the blood of a third-tier water sprite."

Master Lieyang smiled slightly and took out seven transparent jade boxes.

"These are some of my collections. Take a look and see if there's anything you like."

Shen Xuan looked to Master Hanyu for help.

Needless to say, those seven jade boxes were filled with precious spiritual items.

However, he may not know him.

Master Hanyu glanced at the seven jade boxes.

"Shen Xuan, pick whatever you like. You won't lose out no matter which one you choose."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan understood the situation.

All the treasures that Master Lieyang took out were of the third rank or higher.

Otherwise, Master Hanyu would not have said that.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Xuan looked over at each one.

The seven jade boxes contained a gleaming flying sword, a crimson elixir with eight Dao patterns, a mysterious and magnificent array flag, and the main ingredient for the Golden Elixir.

In another jade box was an ancient talisman, exactly the same as the Xuanfeng Teleportation Talisman he had just acquired.

Shen Xuan's gaze lingered between a spirit egg and a set of golden armor.

In the [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique], the spirit egg contains vibrant life force and abundant water elemental energy, and inside it seems to be a small, coiled dragon snake.

A spirit egg that can be collected by True Immortal Lieyang must be of extraordinary quality.

Shen Xuan pondered this over and over again.

Ultimately, they abandoned the spirit egg.

It takes too much time to cultivate them.

Spirit beasts grow much slower than human cultivators.

Not to mention that the breakthrough of spirit beasts is extremely difficult and requires extremely precious natural treasures.

It takes three to five hundred years for them to break through to the third rank.

Shen Xuan simply couldn't wait any longer.

"Master Lieyang, this junior would like to ask, what kind of treasure is this golden armor?"

Master Lieyang smiled slightly: "This is the Immortal Gold Battle Armor, exclusively for body refiners in the Dharma Aspect Realm. Its materials are a mixture of several precious gold spirits, which can greatly enhance its defensive capabilities."

Shen Xuan's heart stirred.

"I've heard that many cultivators at the Dharma Aspect Realm can enlarge their bodies and develop a Dharma Aspect. Does this Immortal Golden Battle Armor also change size?"

"Once it's properly refined, it can change size just like its master. Otherwise, how can a body refiner use it? Are they going to shatter this armor?"

Shen Xuan no longer hesitated.

He handed over the Cold Jade Pill, the top-grade flying sword, and the Thunder Array Talisman to True Person Lieyang all at once.

"This disciple chooses this immortal gold battle armor."

If what Master Lieyang said is true.

After donning the armor, Shen Xuan's physical body underwent a transformation, greatly increasing his defensive capabilities.

Even when facing a fake Core Formation cultivator from a sect, he was confident that he could escape safely thanks to his strong physical body.

"good!"

Master Lieyang put away the remaining jade boxes.

The remaining transactions were no longer Shen Xuan's concern.

He is now empty-handed.

All that remained were the Divine Thunder Talisman for survival and some Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branches.

The Divine Thunder Talisman cannot be traded.

There's no need to take out the Purple Essence Divine Tree Spirit Branch.

Shen Xuan gained a lot from this trip to the hidden gems of the Gan River.

The items included the essence and blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast, the Immortal Golden Armor, the Mysterious Wind Teleportation Talisman, the complete corpse of the Two-Headed Flood Dragon, and an 800-year-old Purple Blood Ice Mushroom.

The live trading session has concluded.

Disciples from various sects boarded their respective sect's spaceships and returned to their sects.

Before parting, Zhuo Qingning of the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce sent a telepathic message to Shen Xuan: "Fellow Daoist Shen, I will visit the Qingyun Sect in six months to discuss the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients."

Previously, Zhuo Qingning had discussed his intentions with him.

Shen Xuan told him to prepare more Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients.

Zhuo Qingning wanted Foundation Establishment Pills to settle the debt.

Shen Xuan did not object.

in business.

His relationship with Zhuo Qingning is a business partnership, based on fair trade.

Of course, we want to maximize our profits.

However, Shen Xuan has not yet started refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, so the success rate is still unknown.

Zhuo Qingning was unsure of himself.

All seven sects suffered losses in this incident at the Gan River Secret Realm.

The Xuantian Sect originally intended to use this secret realm to do a favor and win over the elite disciples of the six sects.

Unexpectedly, this backfired, arousing suspicion from the elite disciples of the six sects.

The True Man Xuanwen wanted to report this matter to the Sect Leader and seek a way to mend the situation.

These things have nothing to do with Shen Xuan.

At this moment, he was sitting on the sect's flying ship, resting with his eyes closed.

Beside him was Xu Gaonong, who had a simple, honest smile on his face.

My master is the Changchun Zhenren, who ranks last among the Eighteen Zhenren.

Xu Gaonong himself is also a spiritual plant master.

Even if he can condense an inner elixir, his future status will probably be the same as that of his master, the Immortal Changchun.

He's ranked last in the real-person rankings.

He was quite happy to stay with Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan was younger and less accomplished than him, and he treated him with great courtesy.

"Junior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Zhang is here!"

Shen Xuan opened his eyes.

In sight, Zhang Xingyuan, a disciple personally taught by the Master of Lost Tracks, approached with a smile.

"Junior Brother Shen, I'm sorry. Something happened in the Gan River Secret Realm. I used up the Thunder Spirit Orb and the Thunder Talisman!"

Shen Xuan was already mentally prepared.

"How about this, 100,000 spirit stones will be used to pay for my purchase of the Thunder Spirit Pearl and Thunder Talisman. Is that enough?"

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "That's enough."

He took out a small avatar from his storage bag and returned it to Zhang Xingyuan.

Shen Xuan never intended to sell it directly.

However, they couldn't let the bond of kinship get the better of them.

These individuals, personally trained in the Golden Elixir technique, are about to attempt to form their final core.

Shen Xuan would definitely have to show some leniency so that they could meet again in the future.

Zhang Xingyuan started.

Following them, Lu Xinbao, a disciple of Yinxiang Zhenren, Ye Lingfeng, a disciple of Tianfeng Zhenren, Liu Yingtie, a disciple of Chongxu Zhenren, and others came one after another to retrieve the spiritual items they had pledged to Shen Xuan for 100,000 spirit stones.

Shen Xuan returned them one by one with a smile on his face, without any reluctance.

Finally, even He Zhengming came, shamelessly smiled, and threw down 100,000 spirit stones.

This person didn't even have any collateral.

All the pledged spiritual items were returned to their original owners.

Only Xu Gaonong remained.

He chuckled sheepishly and explained, "Junior Brother Shen, that lightning array flying talisman..."

"You activated it too?"

"That's not true."

Xu Gaonong stammered, "Junior Brother Shen, I'll give you 100,000 spirit stones when I get back."

Shen Xuan rolled his eyes at him.

"never mind."

"what!"

"I have something to ask Senior Brother Xu for help."

"Junior Brother Shen, please don't hesitate to ask! I will do my duty to help if I can!"

Xu Gaonong thumped his chest loudly.

Shen Xuan asked, "Is there any more Yellow Crystal Divine Soil?"

Xu Gaonong paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Will you receive it?

"Yes, but the quantity won't be too large. And the quality might be just average."

Xu Gaonong said.

"It's alright. Senior Brother Xu will help me make the contact."

"it is good!"

The two discussed it.

It turns out that several of Master Changchun's direct disciples had cultivated the Yellow Crystal Divine Soil.

As long as Shen Xuan is willing to take out the Cold Jade Pills, we can trade for some.

As for the jade slip containing the cultivation techniques of the Demon Wood Sect.

Xu Gaonong was even more embarrassed to mention it.

He obtained Shen Xuan's exquisite Thunder Array Flying Talisman.

Asking for that Demonic Sect inheritance book again would be incredibly rude.

Ultimately, he got a great deal in this transaction.

Xu Gaonong holds this view.

In fact, Shen Xuan did not want to return the book of the Demon Wood Sect's inheritance.

Although it contains various evil and vicious spells.

However, sometimes it can be very useful.

Shen Xuan planned to study it carefully after he returned.

Perhaps, we could select a few useful demonic sect secret techniques and apply them to the cultivation of spiritual herbs.

Ten days later, the sect's spaceship returned to the sect.

After taking a bath, Shen Xuan went to the training room alone to reflect.

His decision not to participate in the training in the secret realm of the Gan River was a wise one.

Unknown areas cannot be predicted using common sense.

Unexpected situations can easily occur.

Shen Xuan thought to himself that he was not afraid of any Foundation Establishment cultivator in a one-on-one fight.

But in the hidden realm of the Gan River, everyone rushed forward, employing a variety of methods.

No one would challenge him to a one-on-one duel.

Among cultivators, once they start fighting, it's a matter of life and death.

"Thank goodness my master is protecting me!"

Throughout the journey, he remained standing beside Master Hanyu.

The Xuanwen Zhenren of the Xuantian Sect mentioned the remains of the divine tortoise and even prepared the essence blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast, clearly indicating that he came prepared.

"So, I've also registered with the True Person of the Xuantian Sect?"

Think about it, the Xuantian Sect is the head of all sects in the Song Dynasty.

The number of spies within the Qingyun Sect who are in contact with the Xuantian Sect is no less than that of the Medicine God Valley.

Of the eighteen true masters of the sect, 100% are close to the Xuantian Sect.

"From now on, we should proceed with caution."

Shen Xuan dislikes dealing with real people the most.

This gave him a sense of powerlessness, as if he couldn't control his own destiny.

Despite having various means of protecting the Way.

Before the true masters of the sect, he was still just a tiny ant.

Even escaping to save one's life is a luxury.

"Just play it safe, and try to survive until you reach the Core Formation stage."

Shen Xuan estimated that he might be able to break through to the Core Formation stage in sixty years.

With his strength as a second-tier top-grade alchemist, and the protection of Hanyu Zhenren and Gufeng Zhenren, he was able to achieve his goals.

In the struggle between Song and Liang, Dao and Demon, if he made even the slightest contribution, the sect would reward him with a Golden Elixir.

With his current Dao foundation quality, physical strength, and spiritual power, barring any unforeseen circumstances, condensing his inner core is a certainty.

With slightly better luck, there is a certain chance of condensing the supreme golden elixir.

At that time, he will be the second Lingxiao Zhenren in the Qingyun Sect.

Below the Inner Peak Golden Core True Person, and the head of the Outer Peak True Persons.

Shen Xuan thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

He took out some of the essence blood of the two-headed dragon.

Let's see how lucky we are!
