Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 443 Devouring the Fake Core (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

"Add money?"

"Yes!"

Mu Ling'er nodded repeatedly, her eyes showing joy.

"That is impossible."

Shen Xuan said solemnly, "Fairy Mu, we have signed a spiritual contract."

"One should be honest and trustworthy."

"How about this? If Fairy Mu is truly in a difficult position, then return the deposit to me. We will terminate the contract, and I will find someone else to set up the formation."

"do not want!"

Mu Ling'er said eagerly, "They've already finished!"

"Then will you do it?"

"I'll do it! Fine, I'll do it!"

Mu Ling'er stomped her foot.

Muttering to himself, "What a cheapskate!"

Shen Xuan pretended not to hear.

Beside her, Bai Xiaomeng looked at the newly opened cave dwelling with a curious expression.

The air was filled with spiritual energy, which floated like clouds and mist.

Bai Xiaomeng felt as if she were in a dream.

It's indescribably comfortable and pleasant.

"So this is what the training ground for Foundation Establishment cultivators is like!"

"The spiritual energy is so abundant that I can't absorb it all!"

This is still at the entrance of the cave.

If it were inside, who knows how concentrated it would be!

Mu Ling'er summoned Chen Dafu and asked him to bring in a formation master and a formation apprentice from the Chen family.

She was in charge of directing.

It must be said that Mu Ling'er is quite skilled in the art of formations.

Three days later, she had set up all four sets of formations.

After sending the Chen family cultivators away.

Mu Ling'er activated the formation and demonstrated it to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan took over and put everything into practice.

There are no problems.

The two went to the guest room of the cave dwelling to settle the bill.

"These are array plates for four different formations. Ling'er has written down how to use them in the jade slips."

Shen Xuan took the array plate and the jade slip.

He scanned the contents of the jade slip with his divine sense.

Mu Ling'er is indeed a genius array master.

The four formations were set up in a very orderly manner.

The method of using the formation is also explained clearly and concisely.

"well-done!"

Shen Xuan took out the remaining 130,000 spirit stones.

"Are you really not going to give me more? The price of formation materials has really gone up!"

Shen Xuan sighed.

"Fairy Mu, if the price of array materials drops, will you charge me less spirit stones?"

Mu Ling'er thought for a moment, then finally shook her head.

"will not."

“That’s it. The rise or fall of material prices has nothing to do with me, Shen. This is a risk that Fairy Mu must bear.”

The reasoning was explained very clearly.

With Mu Ling'er's mathematical abilities, she will definitely be able to figure it out.

Shen Xuan is wealthy.

But it cannot be squandered.

"Alright, Xiaomeng, serve tea to Fairy Mu."

Bai Xiaomeng served the spiritual tea.

Mu Ling'er chuckled.

She removed her veil, revealing a lively and charming face.

Shen Xuan feigned surprise.

"Just as I thought, this place is blessed with outstanding natural beauty!"

In fact, Shen Xuan had already seen Mu Ling'er's appearance clearly.

The thin veil covering the face has the function of concealing one's divine sense.

Shen Xuan used the [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique] and [Insightful Observation] to enhance his eyesight, allowing him to see directly with his eyes.

The thin veil that obscures divine consciousness has no effect on him.

"of course!"

Mu Ling'er was smug.

Shen Xuan estimated.

Mu Ling'er lived alone on Spring Breeze Island, with no cultivators of the same realm around her, and rarely communicated with others.

It's rare to encounter a "young" Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same realm as myself.

Therefore, when Mu Ling'er met Shen Xuan, she was very eager to express herself.

She occasionally reveals a girlish side.

Shen Xuan and Mu Ling'er chatted for a while.

I asked for some advice on formation techniques.

Once Mu Ling'er found the right spot to scratch, she began to expound on the subject, speaking eloquently and confidently.

His desire to teach others was greatly satisfied.

An hour later.

Shen Xuan reminded him that it was already too late.

Mu Ling'er left with some regret.

Before parting, she told Shen Xuan that if he had any questions, he should feel free to ask her.

Out of consideration for her friend, she didn't charge her.

……

After seeing Mu Ling'er off, Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He listened for an hour, and then he got tired.

The art of formations is not so easy to cultivate.

Over the years, Shen Xuan has basically given up on the Dao of Arrays.

He called Bai Xiaomeng to the bedroom.

The white dress was as white as snow, serene and beautiful.

Even as a maid, she still paid great attention to her clothing and appearance.

Bai Xiaomeng's delicate body exuded the unique fragrance of a young girl.

"Undress."

Shen Xuan looked at the array jade slip without raising his head and said in a deep voice.

Bai Xiaomeng didn't speak, her face tense, and silently took off her clothes.

The movements are very slow.

Soon, only her undergarments remained.

Bai Xiaomeng looked up, a hint of fear in her eyes, and gazed at Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan frowned slightly.

The voice sounded somewhat impatient.

"Take off your clothes, hurry up!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Bai Xiaomeng slipped off her undergarments, revealing her bare upper body.

Shen Xuan glanced at it.

Yes, it looks pretty good.

Her collarbone was beautifully shaped, her breasts stood proudly erect, and her skin was as smooth and supple as cream, making one want to touch it.

"Turn around!"

Bai Xiaomeng was stunned.

She bit her lip and slowly turned around.

On its snow-white back, a large, ugly scar appeared, resembling a menacing centipede, which was extremely disgusting.

Is this what her best friend meant by "imperfection"?

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense.

These are probably scars left from being whipped when I was a child.

It wasn't dealt with in time, and that's how it ended up like this.

"come over!"

Bai Xiaomeng slowly walked up to Shen Xuan.

"Sit cross-legged, with your five palms facing the sky, circulate your qi to your dantian, and circulate your spiritual power."

Bai Xiaomeng obediently did as she was told. At that moment, a warm, firm hand pressed against her back.

A stream of pure, liquid spiritual energy entered her meridians from her back and flowed into her dantian.

Bai Xiaomeng's delicate body trembled slightly.

That liquid spiritual energy formed a source of spiritual energy in her dantian, attracting the gaseous spiritual energy in her body and gathering it into a ball.

"Remember this feeling!"

Shen Xuan's voice resounded in Bai Xiaomeng's soul.

Before Bai Xiaomeng could respond.

The liquid spiritual energy suddenly erupted, turning into a cloud of spiritual energy that merged into her gaseous spiritual energy.

Bai Xiaomeng quickly focused her mind and absorbed the information.

"Is the master strengthening my spiritual power and cleansing my marrow?"

Bai Xiaomeng thought to herself.

An hour later.

Bai Xiaomeng was about to slowly finish her practice.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through my back.

Shen Xuan's hand, as sharp as a knife, gently wiped away the scar on her back.

"what!"

Bai Xiaomeng couldn't help but scream in surprise.

"Don't make a sound! Bear with it!"

Shen Xuan took out a spiritual pill, crushed it, and applied it to the affected area.

Then, he cast several spells.

Half an hour later.

In my sight, on the bloodied back, new skin has grown, becoming beautifully curved and as white and tender as jade.

Shen Xuan glanced at it and was quite satisfied with his masterpiece.

"All right!"

"Put on your clothes and leave!"

Shen Xuan said in a deep voice.

Across from her, two rosy clouds flew across Bai Xiaomeng's cheeks.

After putting on the dress, she prostrated herself before Shen Xuan, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Master has shown me great kindness, and I will always remember it!"

"This maid is willing..."

Before Bai Xiaomeng could finish speaking, Shen Xuan interrupted her.

"That's enough! Get your work done."

"Go back!"

"Yes, sir!"

Bai Xiaomeng kowtowed three times loudly, then got up and left the bedroom.

"That girl!"

Bai Xiaomeng was merely grateful for the help that strengthened her spiritual power and cleansed her marrow.

She was deeply moved when the old scars on her back were healed.

"woman!"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

He took out the jade slip titled "Divine Treasure of the Vast Ocean" that the Master had given him years ago from his storage bag.

This jade slip contains only the section on Qi cultivation.

Shen Xuan planned to observe Bai Xiaomeng for a period of time.

If she behaves well, then we will give it to her at another opportune time.

When bestowing favors upon others, one should not do so excessively at once.

"Finally settled down."

Shen Xuan left the bedroom and went alone into the cave's training room.

The Mysterious Spiritual Light Array shielded the training room from noise.

After Shen Xuan entered, he placed two high-grade spirit stones into the Xuanbing Locking Spirit Array.

Then, he slowly circulated his internal energy.

When he killed Xiao Jingsong, he transformed into a dragon and used the "Devouring All Things" technique to absorb all the shattered fake pills into the eight-colored lotus within his body.

These days, Shen Xuan has been busy traveling around and hasn't even started refining yet.

"The bloodline talent of [Devouring All Things] comes from the legendary primordial beast Bloodwing Black Mosquito. It can not only devour the physical bodies of immortals like the Turtle Spirit Mother, but also devour top-grade innate spiritual treasures like the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus."

"Logically speaking, what's so special about a mere fake pill!"

Shen Xuan finally understood.

His mysterious jade talisman plunders the bloodline talents contained in the essence of demonic beasts.

After obtaining the body-refining technique, his progress in body refinement far surpassed that of the Daoist Xuan Gong.

Since there's a shortcut to improving your strength, why not take it!
He also wanted to proceed step by step, gradually.

The truth is, climbing up from the bottom is not an easy path!

No one will pave the way for you just because you have talent or ability.

You're not his blood relative!
The cultivation world, controlled by sects and aristocratic families, offers extremely limited pathways for advancement.

At best, you'll become a middle manager, and still the kind who's treated like a beast of burden.

Breaking into the inner circle of power is not so easy.

Master Hanyu Zhenren achieved astonishing feats during the chaotic war between the three kingdoms of Yan, Song, and Liang, yet he was merely a casual member among the Zhenren.

Ultimately, one's background is more important than their abilities.

Those cultivators who thought they had strength and talent but lacked a solid foundation either died young or became beasts of burden.

Without exception.

Shen Xuan stopped thinking about it.

He sat cross-legged and began to practice his profound skills.

At the dantian, the eight-colored lotus slowly bloomed.

He used his divine sense to introspect and observe a large mass of yellow powder contained within the eight-colored jade lotus.

That was Xiao Jingsong's shattered fake elixir.

Shen Xuan focused his mind and began refining.

The mysterious jade talisman flashed with a golden light.

"Buzz!"

In my mind, it was as if a bell was tolling.

Some yellow powder transformed into liquid spiritual energy, which was refined and absorbed by the eight-colored lotus.

The eight colors of the precious stones are constantly changing.

The spiritual energy after purification and absorption.

Most of the nutrients are nourished by the eight-colored lotus itself.

A small portion flowed out and merged into Shen Xuan's Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

Suddenly, I gained some insights into spiritual practice.

"Using the spirit to control the sword, the sword gives birth to the Dao..."

Shen Xuan closed his eyes slightly.

The spiritual sea of ​​Dao Foundation was surging and undulating, constantly merging with the spiritual power of the newly refined pseudo-core.

A violent aura gradually spread.

My whole body feels uncomfortably dry.

"The White Bone Pearl!"

Shen Xuan roared in fury.

In his divine sense, Shen Xuan's body appeared as white bones.

A red pearl emerged from the Yuzhen acupoint in the brain, emitting a red divine light that illuminated the entire body's bones.

The bones glowed red from the inside out.

The inner white bones emit light, blessing the outer white bones, illuminating the entire Dharma realm.

My mindset instantly calmed down.

Two hours later.

Shen Xuan opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise.

Inside his dantian, the eight-colored lotus had completely closed.

Shen Xuan let out a long breath and examined his own body.

"My spiritual power has increased by about one percent."

"And the fake pill powder was only refined to one percent!"

"If I refine it completely, my cultivation level will easily reach the late Foundation Establishment stage!"

Shen Xuan silently calculated in his mind.

As for the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck, Shen Xuan never considered it.

The immortal spiritual root, spiritual power, divine soul, divine consciousness, and physical body are all far superior to those of the same level.

With such exceptional conditions, a breakthrough in one's realm is bound to happen naturally.

"So, what I'm practicing is a fantasy version of the Star Absorbing Technique?"
