Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 435 Good Fortune Shines Brightly (Please Subscribe)

In the practice room.

Three pieces of yellow crystal divine soil were placed in front of Shen Xuan.

They vary in size and quality.

This was obtained by Shen Xuan after returning to his sect, through a transaction using Thunder Spirit Pearls and Thunder Talismans from the three direct disciples of True Person Changchun.

The Yellow Crystal Divine Soil is not easy to cultivate, and this is all they are willing to give.

In order to trade these three pieces of Yellow Crystal Divine Soil, he specially crafted Thunder Talismans for a period of time and exchanged them for Thunder Spirit Orbs from the Wu sisters.

Shen Xuan glanced at it and sighed inwardly.

"Just make do with it!"

With a slight thought, Shen Xuan sent out the seven-colored lotus from his dantian.

next moment.

The seven-colored lotus emitted a dazzling light, and its eight petals unfurled.

In the training room, Shen Xuan set up multiple layers of restrictive shielding formations.

Nevertheless, the precious light of the Seven-Colored Lotus was still noticed by the nearby immortals.

Fortunately, only the Cold Jade Immortal resides on Cold Jade Peak.

Under the cover of the protective formation, no one outside Cold Jade Peak could detect the existence of the Seven-Colored Lotus.

Last time, after the Seven-Colored Lotus absorbed Xu Gaonong's Yellow Crystal Divine Soil and fully digested it, the newly grown jade-white lotus petal in the middle continued to grow.

Now, it is about the same size as the other seven lotus petals.

However, those seven lotus petals were constantly emitting seven-colored precious light.

This lotus petal remains a pure white color.

"Eat your fill!"

The seven-colored lotus extended countless tentacles, which probed into the three pieces of yellow crystal divine soil.

Soon, the Yellow Crystal Divine Soil turned dull.

Near the seven kinds of precious lotuses, various mysterious Dao patterns appeared, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden.

As the spiritual energy of the three pieces of yellow crystal divine soil disappeared.

The central jade-white lotus petal finally began to shimmer with seven-colored light, merging with the other seven lotus petals into one.

The yellow crystal soil turned into a pale yellow powder and covered the ground.

Shen Xuan returned the Seven-Colored Lotus to his dantian.

Close your eyes and silently perceive the changes.

"The purification and soul-strengthening effects are both stronger than before."

"Hey, this is..."

"guard?"

Shen Xuan sensed that the Seven-Colored Lotus began to absorb and release ice spiritual energy, and in addition to the original seven colors, a jade white color was added.

At that moment, the seven-colored lotus was like a piece of ice-sculpted snow lotus, lifelike and crystal clear.

"So, this is not a seven-colored lotus, but an eight-colored lotus!"

Shen Xuan was overjoyed.

This also means that his survival ability has been improved.

Strike while the iron is hot, good things come in pairs!
Shen Xuan took out the essence blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast obtained from the transaction, extracted about two percent of it, and poured it into the stone basin on the jade table.

Such rich essence and blood power!

Shen Xuan took a deep breath, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

A superior breed resulting from the hybridization of a dragon and a qilin.

Although he was not good at fighting, he did not hold a high position.

However, the dragon is a close relative, and its true spirit and blood essence are abundant!

Shen Xuan activated the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation].

Keep your body at a height of sixteen feet.

Its face was blue and ferocious, its fangs were bared, and its whole body shimmered with golden light, exuding a powerful aura of a savage beast.

His [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] has reached the peak of the eighth level.

It's just one step away from the final nine transformations.

However, this gap is like the vast chasm between the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm and the Core Formation Realm, making it extremely difficult to break through.

Cultivators need to rely on external forces such as Golden Core Transformation Pills and Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

Shen Xuan, on the other hand, needs more and better essence blood from the descendants of true spirits.

"Let's see what you're made of!"

Shen Xuan unleashed a burst of pure spiritual energy, turning the small piece of Water-Golden-Eyed Beast's essence blood into a blood mist.

Under the activation of the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] technique, the blood mist formed a monster-like shape, resembling a crimson Qilin, yet possessing many characteristics of a divine dragon.

Shen Xuan no longer hesitated and opened his mouth to inhale the blood mist of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast into his stomach.

Within the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea in the dantian, the mysterious jade talisman emitted a golden light, completely enveloping the blood mist of the Golden-Eyed Beast that had just been inhaled.

As if it had seen a delicious delicacy, the eight-colored lotus slowly unfolded its eight petals, enveloping the treasure and beginning to refine it.

This time, Shen Xuan was well-prepared, having already prepared two high-grade spirit stones in his hand.

To his slight surprise...

The Eight-Colored Lotus was much easier to refine the essence blood of the Golden-Eyed Jade Water Beast than the Mysterious Ice Spirit Lotus was for refining the Tiger-Faced Flood Dragon and the Spirit-Communicating Mysterious Turtle.

I didn't feel tired at all from beginning to end.

On the contrary, they were quite excited.

The two high-grade spirit stones I prepared are completely useless.

Shen Xuan silently activated the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique], condensing a portion of his Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea into a spiritual iceberg.

The eight-colored lotus also faintly tinged with jade white.

That was the outward manifestation of transforming into an ice lotus.

Two hours later.

Shen Xuan's spiritual power was mostly depleted.

The eight-colored lotus slowly closed.

Shen Xuan let out a long breath.

This time, refining the essence blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast was much easier and smoother than the previous two times with the essence blood of third-tier water demons.

"Hmm. My spiritual power has increased again. The Eight-Colored Lotus is also much stronger than the Mystic Ice Lotus from before."

Shen Xuan vaguely sensed a trace of the changing laws of the true spirit descendants.

He suddenly remembered a description of dragons in a classic novel.

It can be large or small, rise or hide; when large, it stirs up clouds and mists; when small, it conceals its form; when rising, it soars through the universe; when hiding, it lies dormant within the waves…

Shen Xuan seemed to understand something.

He is a man of great ambition, possessing brilliant strategies, with the capacity to encompass the universe and the ambition to swallow the heavens and earth.

Ordinary heroes in the mortal world all have such ambitions.

Besides, he is a cultivator who has everything: wealth, companions, magic, and land!

Unfortunately, the time was too short.

"It's alright. You can still gain insights forty-nine more times."

Before my eyes, ancient, golden characters shimmered.

[Plunderable Talents: Water Repellent, Heavenly Dragon Flame, Frosty Dragon Breath, Clawed Slash, Rampage, Immense Strength, Divine Dragon Might, Boiling Dragon Blood, Overturning Rivers and Seas, Soaring Through Clouds and Mist, Auspicious Stars Shining Brightly, Clear Distinction Between Good and Evil]

Shen Xuan skipped over those combat-type bloodline talents.

Without comprehending supernatural powers, one's path is ultimately a minor one.

His gaze lingered on the two items: "good fortune shines upon you" and "clear distinction between good and evil."

The former increases good fortune, while the latter distinguishes between good and evil.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xuan chose "Good Fortune Shines Brightly".

Distinguishing between good and evil is far less important than increasing one's own fortune.

Anyway, Shen Xuan believed that human nature is inherently evil.

Defenses can not do without.

Apart from a very small number of teachers and friends, I have no expectations of human cultivators, whether they are righteous or evil, Taoist or demonic, Buddhist or monastic.

[Talent: Blessed by Good Fortune (12/100)]

It can increase by 12 points in one go.

It seems that once he has fully refined the essence and blood of the Jade Water Golden-Eyed Beast, he will at least reach the mastery level of [Lucky Star Shining Brightly].

[Daoist Rhyme: 54768] "Hiss!"

Shen Xuan gasped.

Two thousand one hundred points will be added at once!

It has 300 more points than the Spirit-Communicating Mystic Turtle.

After complete refinement, you will receive 100,000 Daoist Points!

"Therefore, it must be a descendant of a true spirit, a third-tier spirit beast!"

……

Flowers bloom, flowers bloom.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the alchemy room.

Shen Xuan expressionlessly formed a hand seal to condense the elixir.

Inside the Myriad Dragons Mystic Water Furnace, three Foundation Establishment Pills, exuding a fragrant aroma, flew into Shen Xuan's hand.

Two common items, one fine item.

Shen Xuan took out a medicine bottle and put the premium Foundation Building Pill into it.

He handed the other two to Lü Zhengying, who was standing next to him.

"Deliver it to Zhou Jinxing, who is waiting outside the peak."

"it is good."

Lü Zhengying also put it away in a medicine bottle.

"Senior Brother Shen, does Old Master Zhou want to see you?"

"I won't see him. Just say I'm tired from refining pills and have gone back to my residence to rest."

Everyone who came to Shen Xuan to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, regardless of their status, waited outside Cold Jade Peak.

They took out a set of Foundation Establishment Pill materials, worth 30,000 spirit stones.

After Lü Zhengying passed the inspection, it was sent to Han Yufeng's alchemy room.

Under normal circumstances, Lü Zhengying would be released after eight days.

Give them two freshly made Foundation Establishment Pills.

He wanted to witness firsthand how his medicinal herbs were refined into the Foundation Building Pill.

It's absolutely impossible with Shen Xuan.

These people can't even set foot on Hanyu Peak.

Not to mention the alchemy room.

If you are not satisfied, you can cancel the alchemy appointment.

However, this has not happened yet.

Zhou Jinxing was the previous head of the Zhou family, the beast-taming family of Qingyang Prefecture.

Cooperate with them to sell magical artifacts and spirit items.

Nevertheless, Shen Xuan did not make an exception for him.

In his opinion.

Putting the Zhou family first and helping them refine the Foundation Establishment Pill is the least we can do for them.

Within the sect, countless vassal families are still using connections to book appointments for alchemy.

In the past two years, Shen Xuan's Foundation Establishment Pills have become famous.

Its medicinal effects are indeed better than those of the Fire-Based Foundation-Building Pill.

Moreover, one dose of medicinal herbs plus 30,000 spirit stones can be exchanged for two top-quality Water-based Foundation Establishment Pills.

For these cultivation families, it was like a windfall, and they flocked to it like moths to a flame.

Shen Xuan took out the black gourd and put the remaining elixir solution into it.

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, you two pack up."

"Fellow Daoist Li, you should rest too."

"Junior Sister Liu, you should go back first."

Shen Xuan treated everyone in the alchemy room with utmost courtesy.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Zhengying finally couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Shen, this is what Master Tongxuan asked me to give to you."

He took out a jade slip.

Shen Xuan scanned the area briefly with his divine sense.

It is a task recently issued by the sect to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Junior Brother Lü, please keep this safe. Please make arrangements for me."

"Yes!"

Lü Zhengying accepted the jade slip.

"I'm tired, I'm going back to my cave first! I'll rest for a day and start refining pills again tomorrow."

Shen Xuan walked out of the alchemy room with a calm and composed demeanor.

Behind them, the crowd looked at each other in silence.

They could sense that Shen Xuan's mood was getting worse and worse, and he was on the verge of exploding.

……

Inside the cave, in a secret chamber.

Shen Xuan looked at the alchemy plan that Lü Zhengying had made for him and couldn't help but sneer.

"We've been too optimistic about them!"

Things are going in the worst possible direction.

After Shen Xuan demonstrated his exceptional talent and skill in alchemy, the sect's attitude towards him underwent a dramatic change.

On the surface, they treated him like royalty, showing him immense respect.

In fact, they had him under their control.

In the past two years, Shen Xuan has never stepped out of Hanyu Peak.

All he did was refine pills.

The furnace is opened four times in a month of thirty days.

They only rested for one day during the trip.

The alchemy plan is packed with activities.

This cannot be blamed on Lü Zhengying.

He has tried his best.

The pressure comes from the sect's alchemy tasks.

Just like the alchemists at Lingdan Hall.

All medicinal herbs and pills produced by the sect must be handed over to the sect.

Of course, the sect will reward certain sect contribution points as appropriate.

However, for Shen Xuan, it was a drop in the ocean.

He can refine three Foundation Establishment Pills from one portion of medicinal herbs.

The sect rewards him with 5,000 contribution points each time.

It is said that this is the highest amount of pills a second-level alchemist can refine in a single session.

However, for Shen Xuan, it was nothing special.

His sect contribution points amounted to 300,000.

However, they were unable to exchange for spirit items of the second rank or higher from the sect.

It's not even worth mentioning.

The more skilled one is in cultivation techniques, the easier it is for them to be controlled by sects.

Like a self-taught genius chemistry criminal, his partners always want to control him.

Shen Xuan guessed.

The sect has already designated him as a pill refiner.

The alchemy tasks assigned to the sect will become increasingly demanding.

In the near future.

Let alone taking on private pill-refining orders, even their own cultivation would be taken up by the sect's pill-refining tasks.

"So, the sect has started to exploit me instead?"
