Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 462 The Storm Rises Again (Please Subscribe)

The bottom of the black river.

Shen Xuan transformed into a dragon and didn't pause for a moment, continuously using the [Water Escape Technique] to quickly distance himself from the Yin Sha Sect of Liang Kingdom.

Before taking action, he scouted the location and planned the retreat route.

They traveled swiftly for thousands of miles, diving from the black river into the East China Sea.

Shen Xuan finally relaxed.

In the deep sea.

Even if he were a Golden Core cultivator, he was confident that he could confront him head-on.

Even if you can't beat it.

There is still some chance of escaping unscathed.

"A mere Pseudo-Core Demon Lord is nothing special!"

Shen Xuan felt that the Lone Demon Lord was inferior to Xiao Jingsong.

"Therefore, it is difficult to predict one's strength after reaching the third tier."

"Only by fighting a real battle can we find out the truth."

They made their move near the Yin Sha Sect's mountain gate within the territory of Liang Kingdom.

Shen Xuan naturally had to be cautious.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use a divine thunder talisman that had been nurtured for thirty years.

This powerful divine thunder talisman could have threatened the life of the False Core Demon Lord.

Moreover, after Shen Xuan transformed, his close combat strength as a Dharma Aspect Realm Body Refiner far surpassed that of the False Core Demon Lord.

If we weren't in a rush.

Shen Xuan could have easily saved those Divine Thunder Talismans.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was unaware.

The dozen or so demon lords of the Yin Sha Sect stood on the banks of the black river where he had entered the water, none of them daring to go in.

They feared he might ambush them in the water.

Even if these demon lords went into the water, they wouldn't be able to catch up with him.

Shen Xuan sailed through the East China Sea, riding the winds and waves, churning the seas and surging the oceans, traveling all the way.

Once they reached the territory of the Yan Kingdom, they summoned the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse, which rode the waves back to the Starry Sea.

Approaching Shenlong Island, Shen Xuan put away the Silver Horned Pegasus and dived into the coral reefs at the bottom of the sea.

Here, there is a hidden cave with an entrance no bigger than a bowl.

Shen Xuan transformed into a green snake and slithered inside.

The interior suddenly opened up, revealing a hidden paradise.

Shen Xuan activated the cave's shielding array.

Forcefully erase the various divine soul imprints on the storage bag of the Lonely Demon Master.

This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Yin Sha Sect.

Once again, it was deep underwater.

Even the strongest tracking marks are useless at this point.

Shen Xuan's killing of the Lone Demon Lord seemed simple, but it actually took a lot of effort.

Not only did it cost them a Divine Thunder Talisman that had been nurtured for thirty years.

There was also a certain risk involved.

However, at Black Maple Ridge.

Shen Xuan used the "Auspicious and Inauspicious Technique" multiple times, but each time it resulted in minor misfortune.

This means that as long as you act quickly enough, you'll escape unharmed.

With his current strength, defeating the Lone Demon Lord is a piece of cake.

However, it still took some effort to kill him with a single blow.

However, it's all worth it.

Shen Xuan opened the storage bag of the Lone Demon Lord and found the essence blood of the demon dragon as he wished.

It was pitch black, brimming with demonic power, and sealed in a dark green jade bottle.

In addition, as a pseudo-core demon lord, the Lone Demon Lord also possesses many high-level demon cultivation items such as demon stones, core-forming demon objects, and primordial demon energy.

In addition, there's the magic shield and magic scissors he uses.

Even if it were converted into spirit stones, it would be worth at least a million.

However, these high-grade monsters are not so easy to monetize.

Shen Xuan was not in a hurry.

They sealed it up first and hid it inside the cave.

When the opportunity arises in the future, give it to Ling Zhenfeng and let him find a way to sell it.

Or they might trade for high-grade spiritual items.

This time, the demon-slaying and treasure-hunting expedition yielded a bountiful harvest.

It far exceeds the profits from fair trade.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, killing and robbing for treasure has always been prevalent.

Shen Xuan placed the storage bag of the Lone Demon Lord together with Xiao Jingsong's storage bag.

Buried deep inside the cave.

After activating the illusion array to hide in the cave, it transformed into a green snake and swam out.

Then, he transformed back into human form and returned to Spring Breeze Island.

……

a few days later.

Inside the secret chamber of the cave.

Shen Xuan finished refining the Big-Headed Wolf Fish Demon Core once.

He slowly opened his eyes.

I'm going on a trip before the major battle between the sects of Yan and Song.

Having obtained the follow-up to the body-refining technique and seized the essence blood of the demonic dragon, they achieved their expected goals.

That's enough time for him to lie low for several years.

For ordinary cultivators, the Starry Sea is a barren land.

However, this place is adjacent to the open sea, where countless high-level water demons dwell.

As long as he has the ability, he can continuously acquire cultivation resources.

There is no need to consider the constraints of cultivation sects and Core Formation cultivators.

It was indeed the best place for him to cultivate in seclusion.

After completing daily spiritual practice.

Shen Xuan's divine sense stirred slightly.

The letters on the desk next to him flew into his hands.

In less than six months away from home, he had accumulated more than a dozen secret letters.

Shen Xuan browsed through them one by one.

Most of them were from nearby cultivation forces, negotiating the purchase of Frost Talismans.

The Wei family of Lion King Island, however, inquired in their letter about the channels for purchasing Foundation Building Pills.

Previously, Shen Xuan had planned to cooperate with the Wei family of Lion King Island.

They were responsible for purchasing the medicinal herbs and arranging their delivery.

Now, Shen Xuan has changed his mind.

The Wei family on Lion King Island is somewhat weak.

Only a small quantity of Foundation Building Pills can be shipped.

It doesn't align with his vision of expanding and strengthening the company.

Looking back now, he had better partners.

We just need to wait for a good opportunity to meet in person.

Only those of equal strength are qualified to sit at the table!

"Otherwise, you'll just be the dish on the table!"

Shen Xuan understood this deeply.

Mu Ling'er also left a letter.

The letter was rather cryptic.

The gist of it was that he should go to her cave as soon as he returned.

She had something important to discuss with him.

To Shen Xuan's slight surprise,

Chen Huixue also wrote him a letter.

The letter details her various doubts and progress during her spiritual practice.

Ask for solutions.

She may seem ordinary, but she actually regards him as her mentor.

I have a vague worry that he will never return and that we will never see each other again.

"This little girl, where does she get so many ideas from!"

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

He merely took a liking to Chen Huixue because of her innate ice spirit physique. If Chen Huixue's foundation level were decent after she established her foundation, he would recommend her to the Qingyun Sect to meet his master, True Person Hanyu.

What happens to her afterward depends on her own fate.

Take two days off.

Shen Xuan went to Mu Ling'er's cave first.

Having not seen each other for many days, their desires were rekindled, and the two first had a friendly match.

This time, Mu Ling'er made some progress.

During the exchange, Shen Xuan praised him a few times.

This caused Mu Ling'er to blush and become extremely excited.

afterwards.

Mu Ling'er told him.

The True Meaning Sect intends to integrate the various cultivation forces in the Starry Sea, forming an alliance and bringing them under its command.

"Is this a prelude to war with the Song Kingdom, sending the cultivators of the Starry Sea as cannon fodder to the front lines?"

Shen Xuan sighed.

Mu Ling'er grew up in a prestigious sect family, so she naturally grasped things quickly.

"Very likely."

"Are these cultivation families willing?"

"They have no choice."

Mu Ling'er said, "In the past, the True Meaning Sect could tolerate their independent existence because the spiritual veins here were of low grade and there was no profit to be made."

“If we make them pay tribute and taxes, they will be unable to make ends meet and may very well turn to the State of Zhao or the State of Chu.”

"Therefore, this time, the True Meaning Sect did not use coercion, but rather enticement."

"As long as they are willing to submit to the True Meaning Sect, the elite members of their clans can join the True Meaning Sect."

"Participating in the war between Yan and Song and earning merit can be used to exchange for precious spiritual items such as Foundation Building Pills."

"Those with sufficient merit can bid for land-based spiritual veins and establish branch families."

Shen Xuan shook his head.

It must be said that the True Meaning Sect has seized upon the weaknesses of the cultivators in the Starry Sea.

Joining a sect, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill, relocating to the mainland, setting up a branch family, and so on.

These are things that all the cultivation forces in the Starry Sea dream of.

Therefore, sacrificing some members of the tribe is worthwhile.

Even knowing it was bait, they were willing to swallow it whole.

"Who will be the leader of the alliance?"

The establishment of the Starry Sea Alliance naturally requires the appointment of an alliance leader.

As long as the True Meaning Sect controls the Alliance Leader, it can remotely control the Starry Sea.

Previously, the Starry Sea was not of much value.

At this moment, the conflict between the states of Yan and Song is about to begin.

Cultivators from the Starry Sea are excellent cannon fodder; the more the better.

At least, they are more powerful and organized than those independent cultivators.

With minimal cost, a naval force of a certain size and combat capability can be organized.

"The Sea Dragon King is the leader of the alliance, and the heads of the Wei, Qiu, and Chen families are the deputy leaders."

"The True Meaning Sect is quite cunning. I suspect the Sea Dragon King won't agree so easily."

"Therefore, the True Meaning Sect sent an envoy to the Starry Sea."

Mu Ling'er asked in confusion, "I don't know why, but the last batch of envoys were all wiped out."

"The envoy dispatched this time is led by Xu Ningtie, a Core Formation seed from the sect."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan frowned.

"Surname Xu? What's your relationship with Xu Ningyu?"

"Xu Ningyu's elder brother is known as the number one prodigy in the Xu family for a thousand years."

Shen Xuan was speechless.

He suddenly stood up, his movements were rude.

Mu Ling'er screamed.

"Shen Lang, what are you trying to do now!"

Shen Xuan seemed to be muttering to himself.

"With disaster looming, we naturally have to make a profit!"

……

The wind and rain have stopped.

"Wait a minute, write a letter to the Dragon Girl and ask her to come to Spring Breeze Island. I need to speak with her."

Shen Xuan, feeling refreshed, calmly addressed the exhausted Mu Ling'er.

He knew that Mu Ling'er had a way to contact the Sea Dragon Girl.

"Don't even think about making a move on the Dragon Girl!"

"The Dragon Girl's grandfather is the Sea Dragon King! The number one person in the Starry Sea! Even sect masters are unwilling to offend him."

Shen Xuan looked utterly dejected.

"Ling'er, in your heart, am I this kind of person?"

"you are not?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Mu Ling'er's clear eyes.

Shen Xuan turned and left in anger.

“Remember to write a letter!”

Honestly speaking.

Shen Xuan considered himself not to be a lecherous man.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

He has already been very restrained.

Besides the high-quality beauties who actively offer themselves up.

He refused to have any contact with anyone else.

Even so, Mu Ling'er still misunderstood.

It's so hard to be a good person!
In their predecessors, officials with even a little power all had hundreds of specific associates.

In the mortal world, men with even a little power usually have three wives and four concubines, surrounded by beautiful women.

He already has great self-control!

……

More than ten days later.

Shen Xuan's Cave Residence, Reception Room.

"You want to see my grandfather?"

The sea dragon girl asked in surprise.

"You heard wrong."

Shen Xuan said calmly, "What I mean is, I want your grandfather to come see me."

"You are crazy!"

The sea dragon girl almost jumped up.

She stared at Shen Xuan, scrutinizing him repeatedly, as if trying to discover something.

The Sea Dragon King is a fake immortal.

The overlord of the starry sea.

The leader of the pirate raiders.

In terms of status and position, he far surpasses Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan took the initiative to visit the Sea Dragon King, but whether the Sea Dragon King would agree to see him depended on the situation.

Summon the Dragon King of the Sea to visit Shen Xuan.

This is tantamount to saying that Shen Xuan's status is no less than that of the Sea Dragon King.

In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme.

If one's cultivation level is insufficient, no matter how good one's background, one is not qualified to be treated as an equal.

on the other hand.

As long as one is strong enough and has reached a certain level of cultivation, one can address each other as fellow Daoists and treat each other as equals.

Shen Xuan's words were tantamount to telling the Dragon Girl.

My status and position are even above that of the Dragon King of the Sea.

If the two hadn't known each other for several years...

The Sea Dragon Girl knew that Shen Xuan was not an arrogant person.

They had already splashed the spirit tea on Shen Xuan's face.

"I need an explanation."

The Sea Dragon Girl said in a deep voice.

"Otherwise, our relationship will be severed, and we will become strangers from now on."
