Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Cave.

Shen Xuan repeatedly read Shen Xiuxing's letter.

In the letter, Shen Xiuxing said that Ding Yuyao had always been concerned about Shen Xuan.

I keep bringing up things from many years ago with them.

"Your father is a truly capable man!"

"Being able to marry your father is the greatest fortune of my life!"

"Your father will become a True Person of the sect in the future!"

Shen Xuan put down the letter and looked at Su Xue'er, who was silently clearing away the dishes.

"Xue'er, if I remember correctly, you are sixty-one years old now."

Su Xue'er raised her no longer clear eyes and looked at Shen Xuan with a puzzled expression.

After a long silence, she spoke softly.

“If my husband is not mistaken, I am sixty-one years old.”

Shen Xuan placed Shen Xiuxing's letter on the table.

"Look at it."

"it is good."

Su Xueer opened the letter and read it very slowly.

Shen Xuan walked out of the dining hall alone and went to the backyard.

The moonlight, like water, gently poured over him.

Shen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the sky, looking desolate and forlorn.

Su Xue'er walked over gently.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Qingyun Immortal City to see her off on her final journey."

"are you going?"

Su Xue'er was taken aback.

"May I go as well?"

Su Xue'er's departure signifies the recognition of her status as a concubine.

"Go see him. He's already gone, what's there to hold onto?"

Shen Xuan said quietly.

"Go back and pack your things. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."

……

The next morning.

Shen Xuan left Hanyu Peak.

This time, he had two more people with him.

One of them was a concubine named Su Xue'er.

The other one is Xiao Jingsong, a fake alchemist from the sect.

Xiao Jingsong had a serious expression; he was the deputy hall master of the Lingjian Peak Battle Hall.

Rumors circulated that Xiao Jingsong was the number one person in the sect at the Pseudo-Core Realm.

He was ordered by the sect leader to protect Shen Xuan closely throughout the entire process.

"I'm troubling you with my family matters, Uncle Xiao."

Shen Xuan bowed to Xiao Jingsong and said.

"Hehe, I'm just going out for a walk to clear my head! You don't need to worry about it."

"Yes, Senior Uncle Xiao."

Shen Xuan was respectful.

The three arrived at the gate of the Qingyun Sect.

Sect ships had already taken the initiative to dock here.

Shen Xuan led Su Xue'er onto the spaceship, followed by Xiao Jingsong.

There were only three passengers on the entire spaceship.

"You can go!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Xiao Jingsong's order, the Foundation Establishment disciple piloting the sect's flying ship replied.

The atmosphere was somber throughout the journey.

Knowing that Shen Xuan was going to a funeral, Xiao Jingsong closed his eyes to rest and said no more.

Three days later.

The sect's flying ship successfully flew to Qingyun Immortal City and landed inside.

Shen Xuan took Su Xue'er directly to the Shen residence in the western part of the city.

The mourning hall has been set up.

Shen Xiuxing and Shen Xiuyan, along with a group of about a dozen descendants, kept vigil for Ding Yuyao.

"Father, your son is unfilial!"

Shen Xiuxing, kneeling, led the Shen family members in kowtowing to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan waved his hand without saying a word.

He arrived at Ding Yuyao's memorial tablet, lit three incense sticks, and placed them in the incense burner on the table.

Then, Shen Xuan arrived at the coffin in front of the hall, a crimson glint flashing in his eyes.

Through the coffin, Shen Xuan saw 88-year-old Ding Yuyao, smiling, dressed in her burial clothes, lying there quietly.

After offering incense, Su Xue'er changed into mourning clothes and kowtowed several times before kneeling down among the crowd keeping vigil.

Shen Xuan sat quietly to the side.

That evening, Ding family cultivators, led by Ding Yijin and Ding Yixuan, came in one after another to pay their respects and offer condolences.

……

three days later.

On the outskirts of Qingyun Immortal City, a solitary grave has appeared.

The tombstone is inscribed with "Tomb of my late mother, Ding Yuyao".

The inscription was signed by Shen Xiuxing, Shen Xiuyan, and their children and grandchildren.

Shen Xuan's name was not engraved on it.

According to the customs and traditions of this place, a husband must observe a year of mourning for his wife.

Shen Xuan is a cultivator and does not need to abide by these rules.

He sat quietly in front of the grave all night.

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Jingsong concealed his presence and followed Shen Xuan within a five-zhang radius.

early morning.

Shen Xuan stood up and said to Shen Xiuxing and Shen Xiuyan, who were kneeling behind him, "This is your Aunt Su."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuxing and Shen Xiuyan, along with everyone from the Shen family, bowed to Su Xue'er.

After confirming Su Xue'er's identity, Shen Xuan said, "Xue'er, you will stay at the Shen residence temporarily to handle the follow-up matters concerning Madam."

"Yes. I will do it well."

Shen Xuan nodded, staring at the tombstone, his figure gradually disappearing into the void.

After a hundred breaths.

Ten miles away.

Shen Xuan asked Xiao Jingsong, who was standing beside him.

"Senior Uncle Xiao, shall we return on our own, or go back to the Immortal City and board the sect's flying ship?"

"Go back on your own. The airship is too slow."

The reason they traveled on the sect's flying ship was mainly because Su Xue'er's cultivation level was too low to allow her to fly on a sword for an extended period of time.

"it is good!"

Xiao Jingsong summoned his natal flying sword, which was entirely azure blue with its sharpness concealed.

"Spiritual weapon!"

Shen Xuan was slightly startled.

This was the first time he had ever seen a magical flying sword.

Moreover, it is of the water element.

Shen Xuan summoned the Ice Soul Divine Sword and followed behind Xiao Jingsong.

The two flew on their swords all the way.

Xiao Jingsong gradually accelerated.

Shen Xuan maintained a distance of ten zhang at all times. This made him nod inwardly.

"As expected of the successor carefully chosen by Junior Sister Hanyu, what a pity!"

Xiao Jingsong sighed inwardly.

A thousand feet in the air, the gale was so strong that ordinary cultivators could not withstand it.

Xiao Jingsong is a fake alchemist, so he has nothing to fear.

To his surprise, Shen Xuan, who was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, was also unaffected.

While flying over a large river.

"what!"

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Shen Xuan's figure suddenly plummeted at an incredible speed.

Xiao Jingsong's expression hardened.

"Shen Xuan, why bother!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jingsong flashed and caught up with Shen Xuan.

However, Shen Xuan stood on the water, his aura radiating outwards, with the Ice Soul Divine Sword displayed before him.

"Senior Uncle Xiao, why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just say I accidentally fell into the water when we return to the sect?"

Xiao Jingsong laughed angrily: "Shen Xuan, you're a water magic cultivator, can't you come up with a better reason?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"Falling into the water and disappearing. That's a very suitable reason."

"Upon hearing this, Master Mizong immediately understood the inside story."

Xiao Jingsong fell silent.

After a long pause, he said softly, "The sect is focusing its efforts on supporting and nurturing you, which will surely help you condense your inner core. What are you dissatisfied with? You actually want to betray the sect and flee!"

"Senior Uncle Xiao is a sword cultivator, isn't he?"

"If the sect were to focus on training you to farm and become a spirit plant grower, would you be willing?"

Xiao Jingsong's expression froze.

"I only have a talent for swordsmanship, I don't know anything about planting."

"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Surely Uncle Xiao knows this principle."

"What's more..."

Shen Xuan suddenly smiled: "What benefits did the Immortal of Longevity promise Uncle-Master Xiao to persuade you to take action?"

Xiao Jingsong was suddenly startled and blurted out, "How did you know!"

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "If that's not the case, why not take the sect's flying ship back to the sect?"

The sect's flying ship not only has Foundation Establishment stage disciples piloting it, but also a recording array that the sect can monitor in real time.

In fact, upon first meeting Xiao Jingsong, Shen Xuan cast the [Auspiciousness and Misfortune] spell.

fierce!
The closer you get, the stronger the warning becomes.

For years, he has been hiding on Hanyu Peak and has never left the mountain.

Last time, Hu Xiucheng of Lingdan Hall tried to lure him to Qingyun Immortal City.

Shen Xuan's alchemy skills became increasingly refined.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the second third-tier alchemist of the Qingyun Sect.

This is a tremendous boon for the Qingyun Sect.

However, for the Immortal of Immortality, this is probably a terrible thing.

The Immortal of Longevity does not want to retire yet.

It's better to have power delegated than to have it all to yourself.

As for Hanyu Zhenren...

Everyone knows that her alchemy skills came from Shen Xuan.

He was actually a mediocre alchemist.

His talent in alchemy is far inferior to Shen Xuan's.

Moreover, Master Hanyu's ambitions lie not in alchemy.

"Shen Xuan, you shouldn't have said that."

Xiao Jingsong said coldly, "You're a smart man, there's no need for this."

"Or do you really think that just because you once successfully assassinated a fake Core Formation cultivator, you can defeat me?"

"With your Golden Body Realm Perfection Body Refinement Technique?"

Clearly, Xiao Jingsong came prepared and had already secretly investigated Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan glanced at Xiao Jingsong's magical flying sword.

"Senior Uncle Xiao, your flying sword is quite impressive. It must have been nurtured for many years before it could be upgraded to a spiritual weapon!"

“My junior brother is in dire need of a magical flying sword. Considering that we are both from the Qingyun Sect, Uncle Xiao will offer this magical flying sword as compensation, and I will spare your life.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingsong was dumbfounded.

He had never seen such an arrogant person.

I am the number one fake Core cultivator in the Qingyun Sect!
"court death!"

On the river, towering waves surged.

The three-hundred-year-old pseudo-core spiritual power surged into the azure blue spiritual weapon flying sword with overwhelming momentum.

The next moment.

The magical flying sword emitted a sword cry, its light blazing as it drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, converging into a beam of azure sword light that flashed and shot toward Shen Xuan.

A murderous intent was palpable.

Sword energy spread wildly.

Along the way, a path of azure light and shadow appeared.

Shen Xuan stood on the water, a smile on his face, watching the terrifying sword light slashing towards him.

"Master Zhan Tang, the number one fake core cultivator in the sect!"

"So what!"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

A surge of violent anger suddenly rose within him.

"Roar!"

A roar followed.

Shen Xuan's body swelled up dramatically.

With a blue face and fangs, he wielded a large golden club.

Behind him, a blue-green dragon appeared.

"boom!"

The golden club struck the azure sword light precisely.

With a single strike, the sword's edge was shattered.

"A sixteen-foot-tall golden body, immortal golden battle armor, and the Dharma form of a dragon!"

"You've broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

Across from him, Xiao Jingsong was horrified.

In theory, the cultivation of a body refiner is much faster than that of a spiritual cultivator.

However, the difficulty of physical cultivation breakthroughs and advancements is even greater than that of spiritual cultivation.

There wasn't a single body refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm in the entire Qingyun Sect.

"Incredible! A mere mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator has secretly tempered his body to the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

"Such a thing is unheard of! Shen Xuan, the Qingyun Sect has been established for three thousand years, you are truly unprecedented!"

"If you think that breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm through body refinement will allow you to defeat me, you are being far too naive!"

Xiao Jingsong smiled and shook his head, his hands forming a hand seal. The spiritual energy in the air surged wildly, and the Dao patterns on the flying sword gradually lit up, radiating an extremely terrifying killing intent.

In the cultivation world, a body refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm is not as prestigious as a Pseudo-Core Formation True Person.

If it really comes down to a battle of magic, as long as a Body Refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm doesn't get close, a False Core Immortal can be assured of victory.

He was entrusted with important tasks by the Master of Lost Tracks and was also bribed by the Master of Longevity with a large sum of money.

Both men acknowledged Xiao Jingsong's abilities.

As fellow water-based cultivators, Xiao Jingsong could definitely suppress Shen Xuan.

This time, the spirit weapon flying sword shone brightly and shot towards Shen Xuan once again.

Xiao Jingsong stopped testing him and directly unleashed his true swordsmanship.

The spirit-grade flying sword, carrying a terrifying aura capable of destroying everything, locked onto Shen Xuan.

The sword intent is magnificent!

A chilling murderous intent emanated from him!
It was about to pierce Shen Xuan's body with a single sword strike!
