Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

"I disagree!"

“Shen Xuan is my disciple, who has inherited my ice magic mantle.”

"It is absolutely impossible for Shen Xuan to join the Spirit Pill Hall!"

Misty Peak, the Great Hall of the True Man's Council.

At the meeting, Master Hanyu's jade-like face was frosty, and his eyes were wide open in anger.

Anyone could tell she was very angry.

Master Xuanling smiled and said, "Junior Sister Hanyu, I am only thinking of the sect! No disciple of the sect can be outside the sect system!"

He is the city lord of Beicang Immortal City and rarely speaks.

Today, at the meeting, Master Xuanling suddenly suggested that Shen Xuan join the Spirit Pill Hall.

The reason given is simple.

Shen Xuan has an extremely high talent for alchemy and can refine the Cold Jade Pill. He should focus his main efforts on refining spiritual pills for the sect.

The Qingyun Sect has no shortage of capable Foundation Establishment disciples.

After Hu Xiucheng's defection, Lingdan Hall lost a second-tier high-grade alchemist, making its manpower even more strained.

"I am also considering the overall situation of the sect. Of course, this matter should be decided by the sect leader."

After speaking, True Person Xuanling bowed slightly to True Person Hanyu to express his apology.

Han Yu Zhenren glared angrily at Xuan Ling Zhenren, wishing he could devour him alive.

This is a scathing remark!

What grand strategy for the sect!

They just wanted to turn Shen Xuan into a lowly alchemist for the Spirit Pill Hall because they coveted his alchemy skills.

Given the conflicts between Changsheng Zhenren's disciples and Shen Xuan, it is absolutely impossible for them to coexist peacefully.

Moreover, since the Immortal of Longevity did not accept Shen Xuan as his personal disciple, he would not pass on to him the alchemical techniques he had learned throughout his life.

Shen Xuan's joining the Spirit Pill Hall meant endless suffering.

At that time, due to the duties of an alchemist, one will have no choice but to obey the orders of the Spirit Pill Hall.

Shen Xuan devoted most of his energy and time to alchemy.

How will Shen Xuan master ice techniques and break through to the Core Formation stage in the future!
Master Hanyu has always been poor at expressing himself verbally.

She excels at using her hands.

"Xuanling, how dare you presume to govern my disciple when the Northern Cang Immortal City is so poorly managed! For the sake of the sect's overall interests, why don't you resign from your position as city lord?"

Master Xuanling smiled slightly: "I had this intention long ago, but my senior brother, the sect leader, wouldn't allow it."

The lord of the immortal city can indeed gain some benefits.

However, they often had to travel between the sect and the immortal city to handle many complicated affairs of the immortal city.

At the same time, they must undertake various sect tasks such as the defense and vigilance of the Immortal City, intelligence gathering, the operation of spiritual objects, tax collection, and the management of affiliated cultivation families.

The fake Dan Zhenren, as the deputy city lord, can only alleviate some of the burden.

The real decision-makers are still these True Core Realm City Lords.

This cost Xuanling Zhenren and other celestial city lords a great deal of energy and time.

Except for Changchun Zhenren, who voluntarily ranked last.

The lord of the immortal city ranks lower than the central true person.

Even the Lone Peak Master and the Cold Jade Master, who had no official duties, were ranked above the five city lords.

One reason for this is that Gu Feng Zhenren and Han Yu Zhenren are female cultivators.

There are also reasons why the lord of the immortal city is slightly weaker and his sect does not contribute much.

After Master Xuanling resigned.

Among the eighteen True Men of the Qingyun Sect, only True Men of Lone Peak and True Men of Cold Jade are capable of taking over the position but do not hold any official post.

If the real person who is lost had even a shred of sense...

Neither of them will be allowed to serve as the rulers of the Immortal City.

A cultivator who knows nothing about cultivation arts, and for over two hundred years, all he has ever done is spend spirit stones.

He is a hot-tempered, rogue cultivator who has not received systematic education from a cultivation family, is not good at political maneuvering or management, and will fight at the slightest disagreement.

Xuanling Zhenren's explanation left Hanyu Zhenren speechless.

In battle, she has never lost.

She never wins a verbal battle.

Even Gu Feng Zhenren, who is also a female cultivator, has never won.

How could they possibly compete with someone as cunning and calculating as Master Xuanling?

"I don't care! I only have two personal disciples, Shen Xuan and Liu Bingyu! The matters of the Spirit Pill Hall will be handled by Senior Brother Changsheng."

"Xuanling, you've got nothing better to do! Why don't we go practice our magic and have a friendly spar!"

Master Xuanling shook his head: "I'm not going! You can't argue with me, so you resort to violence! Two hundred years have passed, and your temperament has never changed!"

Upon hearing this, several of the men present smiled.

The Immortal of Longevity coughed lightly.

“I have always entrusted the daily affairs of the Spirit Pill Hall to my eldest disciple, Ge Chengming. However, recently, he has complained to me many times that many alchemists in the Spirit Pill Hall are harboring resentment.”

"When morale is low, it's hard to lead the team!"

"Oh. Is that so?"

The Mysterious Immortal asked.

Alchemists are an extremely important asset of the Qingyun Sect.

The alchemists were dissatisfied, and as the sect leader, he certainly had to face the problem squarely.

"Many alchemists say that they work hard to refine pills for their sects, but they don't keep many for themselves. Shen Xuan of Cold Jade Peak is also an alchemist, and he has given away more than a hundred Cold Jade Pills."

"In comparison, they felt that the sect was too harsh on them and too lenient on Shen Xuan."

After the Immortal of Longevity finished speaking, he closed his eyes, appearing to be listening attentively.

Master Hanyu was so angry that he trembled all over and was about to lash out.

Hearing the divine soul transmission from Master Lingxiao.

"Hanyu, calm down and let the sect leader speak first."

Master Hanyu suppressed his anger and looked at Master Mizong.

"I know a little about this matter."

The Mysterious Master pondered for a moment and said, "Most of the Cold Jade Pills in Shen Xuan's possession were refined by himself. The sect has never restricted alchemists from refining pills on their own."

"The premise is that you provide your own medicinal materials and bear the profits and losses yourself."

"The other part is the extra reward for refining pills from the Cold Jade Pill task assigned by the sect. For each set of medicinal materials, he handed over two Cold Jade Pills."

"The sect won't lose out on this mission either."

"At that time, the demand for Cold Jade Pills was high and time was of the essence. Later, I abandoned this task."

"When the sect assigned alchemy tasks to Shen Xuan, they did indeed give him preferential treatment. However, this was a special case."

There was one thing that the Mysterious Master didn't say, thus saving face for the Immortal of Longevity.

The Cold Jade Pill produced by Cold Jade Peak is a water-based elixir, and its quality is better than that of the Elixir Hall.

The elite disciples from those sects specifically requested the Cold Jade Pills produced by Cold Jade Peak.

"After all, this is the Cold Jade Pill, and Shen Xuan is the successor of Junior Sister Cold Jade, and he contributed a lot to the development of this pill."

Upon hearing this, most of the real people nodded in agreement.

Master Hanyu's expression softened slightly.

Regardless, Master Mizong pointed out the special features of the Cold Jade Pill. On the surface, it was developed by Master Cold Jade.

In fact, everyone present knew that Shen Xuan was the one who contributed the most.

Even researchers cannot refine it themselves.

After that, no one in the sect dared to do research and development.

In the world of cultivation, there is no such thing as copyright protection.

Might makes right, and the one with the biggest fist gets to call the shots.

However, within a sect, some basic rules still need to be followed.

It's impossible for Lingdan Hall to obtain the Cold Jade Pill formula, successfully refine the Cold Jade Pill, and then claim to be the only user in the Qingyun Sect.

Not only did they refuse to pay the profits to Han Yufeng, they also forbade Han Yu Zhenren and his disciples from refining Han Yu Dan.

That would be completely contrary to the principles of Heaven.

You must understand, without Shen Xuan, there would be no Cold Jade Pill.

The Qingyun Sect profited greatly from this.

Relying on the Cold Jade Pill formula, they seized a third-tier spiritual vein immortal city and reserved two third-tier spiritual veins in the joint development project.

This is equivalent to resolving the issue of the Daoist temples for the three True Elixir Masters.

All the real people present are old foxes who have lived for hundreds of years.

If you can't even see through this point...

Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive today, and I wouldn't be sitting here.

Many real people find this strange.

The joint attack by Xuanling Zhenren and Changsheng Zhenren against Shen Xuan was too reckless.

Everyone could see that Shen Xuan was exceptionally talented and had extraordinary aptitude.

The possibility of condensing an inner elixir is very high.

At least 50% to 60%.

Once you break through and advance to the next level, you will become a Core Formation True Person.

With his creativity, he could bring immeasurable huge profits to the Qingyun Sect.

One of the most important responsibilities of the sect leader is to expand the sect's interests.

The Mysterious Master has been in charge of the sect for a hundred years and is very experienced. It is impossible for him to do something that would destroy the sect itself.

At this moment, the Immortal of Longevity slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp aura suddenly erupted from his body.

He said slowly, "If Shen Xuan joins the Spirit Pill Hall, I am willing to take him as my last disciple and impart all the knowledge I have acquired in my life to him."

"I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to help him condense his inner core and become a third-tier alchemist!"

This statement came out.

Most of the people present were moved.

The value created by a third-tier alchemist far exceeds that of a combat power like True Person Hanyu.

The Qingyun Sect can replace Hanyu Zhenren at any time by supporting other Zhenren.

But we cannot do without immortal beings.

No matter how much resources are invested, it is difficult to produce an experienced third-level alchemist in a short period of time.

Master Hanyu was stunned.

She never imagined that the Immortal of Immortality would be like this.

It's not just about getting Shen Xuan to join the Spirit Pill Hall.

They even brazenly stole her mantle!

"Back then, Junior Sister Hanyu was so eager to find talent that she wanted Shen Xuan to switch from Junior Sister Gufeng's tutelage, which I didn't understand at the time."

"At this moment, my feelings are the same as those of Junior Sister Hanyu back then."

"Junior Sister Hanyu, don't worry, Shen Xuan is still your personal disciple. Since you can have him taught by two lineages, you can have him taught by three lineages as well!"

Before Hanyu Zhenren could react, Changsheng Zhenren quickly offered a few explanations.

His words, mentioning the time when Shen Xuan switched allegiance to his sect, left Master Hanyu speechless.

On the other side, Master Gufeng gave a wry smile.

She didn't dare speak.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

No matter how you look at it, it will offend people.

The mysterious master also fell into deep thought.

What the Immortal of Longevity said is indeed true.

From the perspective of the sect's overall development, he hoped that Shen Xuan would become a disciple of the Longevity Immortal and achieve the rank of a third-level alchemist.

"I think Senior Brother Changsheng is right."

Master Tianlei suddenly said, "I am also willing to accept him as my personal disciple and impart all the knowledge I have acquired in my life to him."

Tianlei Zhenren is a Jindan Zhenren.

One of the core five members of the Qingyun Sect.

His opinion should not be ignored.

Many of the people in the photos had solemn expressions.

His gaze first fell on Tianlei Zhenren, and then slowly shifted to Mizong Zhenren.

Three True Persons spoke up, including True Person Tianlei, a Golden Core True Person.

The Lost Immortal looked at the people beside him.

Master Tianfeng wore a half-smile, as if he were watching a show with an expression of indifference, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Master Lingjian gazed thoughtfully at the small flying sword twirling in his hand, seemingly pondering a difficult question about swordsmanship.

These two junior brothers have always been neutral and rarely express their opinions on sect affairs.

The person the Lost Immortal was most concerned about was still the most senior, the Hidden Manifestation Immortal.

This was also the previous sect leader of the Qingyun Sect.

However, the Hidden Man remained silent, closing his eyes to rest.

It's clear they don't want to take a stand or get involved in this matter.

One Golden Core cultivator, two True Immortals.

None of the other fellow disciples voiced their objections.

Silence is also an attitude.

Seeing the furious Cold Jade Master, the Lost Immortal felt a pang of pity.

Three against one.

He was also in a difficult position.

Even if one leans towards Master Hanyu, it would be difficult to convince others.

Moreover, deep down, he also felt that the Immortal of Longevity was right.

For the sake of the sect's overall development, we can only sacrifice the personal interests of True Person Hanyu.

As for her successor in ice magic, she can simply select another one from the sect.

The Mysterious Master made his decision and was about to speak.

At that moment, a dignified and steady voice rang out.

"Fellow senior brothers, have you ever considered Shen Xuan's wishes?"
