Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 444 The Star-Absorbing Technique

Chapter 444 The Star-Absorbing Technique (Please Subscribe)

The Star Absorbing Skill, originally a famous martial arts technique from wuxia novels.

It can absorb the internal energy cultivated by others and use it for its own purposes.

It originated from the Northern Darkness Divine Skill of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

It is said that after mastering the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, the true energy in the body forms a vortex that rotates rapidly from the outside in within the dantian.

Every acupoint on the body generates the same vortex, thus creating a suction force.

It can absorb the internal energy of others and transform it into the Northern Darkness True Qi.

Its cultivation principles come from the Daoist classic "Free and Easy Wandering".

The primary goal is to accumulate internal strength.

Like the Northern Sea, it can carry both large and small boats, and accommodate both large and small fish.

Shen Xuan's "Devouring All Things" technique is similar in effect to the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

Absorb the spiritual power of others' arduous cultivation and make it your own.

However, because the sources of spiritual power are complex and not all belong to the same source.

If it is not fully refined and integrated, it will be difficult to control and will damage the original Dao Foundation and Spiritual Sea.

Like a raging flood, it surged wildly, causing great damage to its own dantian, thus backfiring on the cultivator.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan's eight-colored lotus has the effect of purifying spiritual energy.

However, the Eight-Colored Lotus retains 70% of the purified spiritual power as its own growth energy.

Only 30% remained, merging into Shen Xuan's Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

Even with just 30%, Shen Xuan was finding it hard to handle.

The [White Bone Contemplation Inner Visualization Method] must be used to suppress and purify it again before it can be integrated into one's own Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea.

Therefore, the Xianxia version of the Star Absorbing Technique is not so easy.

The bloodline talent of "Devouring All Things", the purifying effect of the Eight-Colored Lotus, and the suppressing and fusion of the "White Bone Observation Inner Vision Method".

All three are indispensable.

Otherwise, it would be like a demonic technique, easily backfiring on oneself and leading to demonic possession.

"So, this is a sign of good fortune?"

Shen Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.

When he killed Xiao Jingsong, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he absorbed the shattered fake pill into his body, temporarily storing it in the Eight-Colored Lotus.

Looking back now, it wasn't a coincidence.

Rather, it was the "Lucky Star Shining Brightly" talent skill that, intentionally or unintentionally, led him to choose the best way to handle important matters.

Shen Xuan did the math.

It would take him about three years, once every ten days, to refine the broken fake pill.

By then, I will definitely be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

In his hand, there was also a complete fake pill.

Originally, they wanted to exchange it for the essence blood of the demonic dragon.

Looking back now, it was completely unnecessary.

Direct refining and absorption yields better results.

In addition, he also has two high-quality demon cores.

There are also seven or eight ordinary second-tier low-grade demon cores.

If even fake pills can be refined, then demon cores certainly can too.

Previously, because demon cores were precious, Shen Xuan had never tried to obtain them.

"Therefore, I can refine all of them: demon cores, demon beast meat, and demon beast blood essence!"

Shen Xuan suddenly realized what was happening.

Monsters eat people, and people refine monsters—it makes perfect sense.

That's how everything in the world is.

Shen Xuan seemed to see a golden road beckoning to him.

"With such heaven-defying methods, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage wouldn't even take fifty years!"

Shen Xuan estimated that he would reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment in twenty years and complete Foundation Establishment in thirty years.

This is still a conservative estimate.

If we can obtain fake pills and high-quality demon cores, the time can be shortened even further.

"Therefore, there is no need to compete with others for the treasures of heaven and earth."

"The path of cultivation is the most suitable for me."

For others, resources are scarce, leaving no room for desperate measures.

For Shen Xuan, as long as he hunts second-tier demonic beasts, he can guarantee the needs of his cultivation.

This is the East China Sea.

Although in the outer sea, water demons are of a higher rank and have extremely strong combat power.

As long as it's not a third-tier demon king.

Before Shen Xuan, who was at the Dharma Aspect Realm, he was merely a dish.

It's simply a matter of main dishes versus side dishes.

Even if he is a demon king.

Shen Xuan also had enough confidence.

To escape safely from his grasp.

After all, once he transformed into a dragon, his speed was extremely fast.

[Water Control], [Water Repelling], [Water Escape], [Overturning Rivers and Seas], etc., are all perfected.

Such comprehensive water magic talent is difficult to surpass even for a water demon king.

"Therefore, I have only one goal: to achieve the supreme Golden Core!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

It’s too late.

His current condition is like that of a martial artist who has opened up his Ren and Du meridians.

We can control the progress a little.

Try to purify and refine the spiritual energy within your body.

Polish the foundation of your spiritual sea to make it more refined and robust.

At least twice that of a typical Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.

If possible, try to improve your body-refining abilities.

"After I break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, I'll go to Baijia Village to ask around."

The Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation has been fully completed.

There is no follow-up training method.

Shen Xuan could only look at the original [True Spirit Transformation].

In this cultivation world, where can he find true spirit essence blood?

Don't say no.

Even if he did, he wouldn't dare get involved.

True spirit essence and blood are something even Nascent Soul True Monarchs would risk their lives to fight for.

Shen Xuan remembered that the ancestor of Baijia Village seemed to be at the Dharma Aspect Realm, having reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

He can chat and laugh with the Demon King.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Surely there must be a way to take the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation] to a higher level.

……

Shen Xuan settled down on Spring Breeze Island.

They lived a very leisurely life.

He focused his main energy on daily cultivation and refining the fake elixir.

time flies.

Three months passed in a flash.

The relationship between Shen Xuan and Mu Ling'er is growing stronger day by day.

Mu Ling'er loved to visit Shen Xuan, to freeload food and drinks, and to get his guidance on formations.

He quite liked Bai Xiaomeng.

She shamelessly suggested that Shen Xuan give it to her.

Shen Xuan refused outright.

He invested so much time and energy in Bai Xiaomeng.

Where can I find someone with similar qualifications?

Now, Bai Xiaomeng is gradually getting into character.

They began learning how to operate formations and cook.

Shen Xuan was finding it easy to use.

They even bestowed upon her the jade slip containing the "Divine Treasure Ocean Technique".

He urged her to cultivate herself diligently.

If given the chance, I will try to obtain a top-tier Creation Pill for her.

Her spiritual root aptitude has the potential to be upgraded to the middle grade.

As for what the future holds, Shen Xuan did not mention it.

Bai Xiaomeng was naturally intelligent.

I know that with a mid-grade spiritual root, there is a possibility of establishing a foundation.

The fairies of the Celestial Academy all possessed inferior or low-grade spiritual roots.

None of them had a mid-grade spiritual root. Besides, Shen Xuan and Alchemist Zheng became acquainted.

Zheng Danshi liked to keep a straight face, appearing serious and unapproachable.

However, he was exceptionally kind to Mu Ling'er.

Whenever Mu Ling'er made a request, Master Zheng would try his best to fulfill it.

This gave Shen Xuan a clue.

Master Zheng Dan knows Mu Ling'er's background.

His coming to live on Spring Breeze Island is very likely related to Mu Ling'er.

However, Shen Xuan and Master Zheng were not familiar with each other.

These kinds of things are best left unsaid.

……

The talisman room.

Bai Xiaomeng gently arranged the talisman-making supplies.

Seeing Shen Xuan enter, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, Chen Dafu has brought the things."

Shen Xuan nodded.

In front of the talisman table, a stack of second-tier talisman skins was neatly arranged.

Beside it were a Xuanbing Talisman Brush and a bottle of Spirit Blood Cinnabar.

These are the talisman-making supplies that he asked Chen Dafu to purchase.

It is specifically used to make ice talismans.

The previous talisman brush, talisman skin, and cinnabar are not suitable.

After gesturing for Bai Xiaomeng to leave.

Shen Xuan began making ice talismans.

While at the Qingyun Sect, he used his sect contribution points to exchange for a second-tier talisman inheritance book.

The Frost Talisman is one of the more common types.

With Shen Xuan's current cultivation level.

Creating a second-tier low-grade talisman of the same attribute is a piece of cake.

Half an hour later.

Shen Xuan stopped writing the talisman.

All three talisman skins were used up.

Thirty-six sheets have been produced so far, and thirty-two have been successfully made.

Nearly half of them are high-quality products.

Shen Xuan made this casually, without expending too much spiritual energy.

"My talisman skills haven't deteriorated too much!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

The profits from alchemy far exceed those from talisman making.

Later, Shen Xuan made almost no more talismans.

I only make a few in my spare time.

"Although the Frost Talisman is a common second-tier low-grade spirit talisman, it is not easy to make it into a high-quality one."

After all, it's an ice-attribute attack.

Shen Xuan had cultivated the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique] and was an ice magic cultivator, which made it seem effortless for him.

Outside, the Ice Talisman costs twice as much as other talismans of the same rank.

Shen Xuan put away the Frost Talisman, a smile appearing on his face.

He stepped out of the talisman room.

Bai Xiaomeng stood respectfully outside.

Take out a few mid-grade spirit stones.

"Tell Chen Dafu to bring in more talisman skins."

"Yes, sir."

Bai Xiaomeng carefully put away the spirit stones.

Previously, at the Celestial Academy, it was rare to see a mid-grade spirit stone even once a year.

For Shen Xuan, this was commonplace.

The alarm sounded from the array.

A figure in green calmly passed through the illusion arrays and killing arrays inside and outside the cave.

Shen Xuan's face immediately darkened.

"Fairy Mu, you must send a message before entering someone else's cave!"

"If you come in like this, you're very likely to be caught in the crossfire of the killing formation!"

It wasn't that he was afraid Mu Ling'er would pry into his privacy.

Within his spiritual sense range, he also possesses skills such as [Insight] and [Smell and Distinguish].

Mu Ling'er was still close to the cave.

He will then be able to sense it.

"What a joke! Ling'er can't possibly be trapped by the formation she herself set up!"

"Master Shen, don't underestimate Ling'er's mastery of array formations!"

Mu Xian'er said dismissively.

Entering Shen Xuan's cave was no different from entering her own home.

I'm already very familiar with the place.

The only place they couldn't enter was Shen Xuan's training room.

"Aren't you afraid I'll change the formation?"

"You? No matter how you change it, Ling'er can still break through the formation."

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

Shen Xuan witnessed her take out a formation-breaking pearl that could detect the location of the formation's core.

She set up all these formations.

Even if changes are made, it will be difficult to confine her.

"Alright, alright. I'm scared! Let's go inside and talk!"

Shen Xuan welcomed Mu Ling'er into the living room.

Bai Xiaomeng served the two of them spiritual tea.

"Speak, what do you want this time?"

After spending a lot of time together.

Shen Xuan also figured out Mu Ling'er's personality.

If there was nothing wrong, she wouldn't have rashly barged into the cave like this.

"One month later, Lion King Island will host a Foundation Establishment cultivator trade fair."

"The invitation has just arrived. You will go with Ling'er."

Shen Xuan took a sip of the spiritual tea.

He said slowly, "I'm not going."

He has no shortage of resources for spiritual practice.

Lion King Island is the best island in the Starry Sea.

Tier 2 Supreme Item.

The Wei family, a cultivation family on the island, has an ancestor who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

It is said that there are more than a dozen people in the clan who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Mu Ling'er asked in surprise, "Why don't you go? It's only once a year, and Foundation Establishment cultivators from the nearby islands all trade spiritual items there."

"I have no spiritual item to offer in exchange."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

Mu Ling'er bit her lip.

"Then, will you come with me to visit Old Zheng?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."

Master Zheng Dan was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and was over two hundred years old.

As fellow guests, Shen Xuan's visit was simply an act of respect for the elderly.

Shen Xuan and Mu Ling'er arrived at Master Zheng's cave.

Mu Ling'er did not barge in directly, but instead sent out a communication talisman in a proper manner.

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

I was too easy to talk to.

Only then did Mu Ling'er dare to be so unrestrained in front of him.
