Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 466 Unpredictable Turbulence (Seeking Subscriptions)

A banquet has already been set out in the VIP box.

The Chen family head introduced the two deputy envoys of the True Meaning Sect inside.

Both were in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. The lean old man was called Zuo Jinwei, and the round-faced fat man was called Li Chizhong.

The other two elder monks were Chen Zhiping and Chen Zhitai, elders of the Chen family.

Nine people sat at the table, divided into host and guest groups, enjoying themselves immensely.

Xu Ningtie, accompanied by two deputy envoys, repeatedly toasted Master Zheng Dan.

His words subtly hinted at an attempt to win them over.

They seemed not to see Mu Ling'er or the three special envoys from the True Meaning Sect.

The Chen family head and the two elders all ignored it.

Relatively speaking, Shen Xuan's treatment is quite good.

Xu Ningtie did not specifically target him.

The head of the Chen family held him in high esteem.

The etiquette was not much different from that of Master Zheng Dan.

During the banquet, Xu Ningtie seemed to mention it unintentionally.

"Master Shen, I've heard you're an ice magic talisman master, skilled in creating ice talismans?"

"I have a slight understanding, just a slight understanding, I can't say I'm an expert."

Shen Xuan stood up and explained with a forced smile.

"How old is Master Shen this year?"

Among everyone present, apart from the masked Mu Ling'er, Shen Xuan looked the youngest.

It's difficult to generalize about the age of a cultivator.

The deeper one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to discern their true age.

Many ancient monsters that have lived for hundreds of years look like handsome young men or young girls.

"I've wasted my life, and I'm over sixty now!"

Shen Xuan said with emotion.

This age is considered common in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Unremarkable.

"Oh, I can't believe it. Master Shen is over sixty! He's really well-preserved!"

Xu Ningtie said calmly.

He glanced at Mu Ling'er, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"Master Shen is only over sixty years old, yet he is already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and is an ice magic cultivator. His path to enlightenment is boundless!"

The head of the Chen family stepped forward with a smile to offer a toast.

"Not at all. It was just a fluke."

"Speaking of which, we have to thank the Chen family for their auspicious feng shui!"

At the banquet, the head of the Chen family skillfully navigated the atmosphere, keeping everyone entertained.

Mu Ling'er glanced at Shen Xuan from time to time.

Beneath the thin veil, no one knows what she's thinking.

After three rounds of drinking.

The head of the Chen family revealed to the three guest ministers that the Chen family and the Zhenyi Sect had reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement.

In the future, let's work together and develop together.

The first priority is to integrate the numerous small and medium-sized forces around Shenlong Island, as well as the large number of independent cultivators.

As the head of the Chen family was explaining the family's development plan.

There was a rapid knocking on the door of the VIP box.

The head of the Chen family asked the clan elder, Chen Zhiping, to open the door.

After whispering a few words to the tribespeople outside, his expression changed drastically.

He rushed up to the Chen family head: "Family head, something has happened!"

……

In the VIP box sat three special envoys from the Zhenyi Sect.

The remaining staff members took their seats in the outer hall.

In the world of cultivation, there is a strict hierarchy.

The difference in status and position between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining is enormous.

Even members of major sects.

Even during the Qi Refining stage, one is not qualified to sit at the same table as Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Originally, the Chen family head had arranged for his two children to personally accompany more than ten Qi Refining stewards from the Zhenyi Sect.

For some unknown reason, a steward named Wei Zhongyi from the Zhenyi Sect left the banquet.

He unexpectedly encountered a young and beautiful female cultivator from the Chen family.

The two got into an argument.

Wei Zhongyi, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, had just activated his magical artifact.

He was instantly killed by the young female cultivator opposite him.

When the Chen family head and Xu Ningtie and others arrived at the scene.

The Chen family head's children were pointing at the young female cultivator and scolding her.

Behind him were the Zhenyi Sect deacons, burning with rage.

Beside him lay Wei Zhongyi, lying in a pool of blood.

However, despite the large number of people, not a single one dared to step forward.

The young female cultivator lowered her head and remained silent.

Before her floated a purple jade bracelet, which occasionally flashed with an extremely sharp white sword light.

"what happened!"

"The head of the Chen family asked in a deep voice."

"Father, my little sister..."

The son of the Chen family head stepped forward to answer.

"Shut up, I wasn't asking you!"

"The head of the Chen family said in a cold voice."

"Huixue, you speak."

The young female cultivator was none other than Chen Huixue.

She looked up slowly.

Upon seeing Shen Xuan in the crowd, his eyes lit up.

Her cherry lips parted slightly, and her voice was clear and crisp.

“Father, this man has ill intentions and is harassing my daughter. Moreover, he has uttered outrageous words that insult the ancestors of the Chen family.”

"My daughter was forced to defend herself. In a moment of carelessness, she accidentally killed him."

"She's lying!" Chen Huixue had barely finished speaking when a young deacon from the Zhenyi Sect shouted.

The head of the Chen family frowned slightly as he looked at the man.

The young deacon pointed at Chen Huixue, his voice trembling with emotion: "Senior Brother Wei only asked her which young lady she was a maidservant of, and how many spirit stones it would take to redeem her."

"Is that what it looks like?"

Chen Jiapu asked with a stern face.

“My daughter told him that I am a direct descendant of the Chen family.”

Chen Huixue looked bewildered: "Not only did he not listen, but he also called his daughter a slut."

"They even said that the Chen family of Shenlong Island is nothing more than..."

At this point, Chen Huixue stopped.

Obviously, what follows is not pleasant to hear.

The young deacon argued, "Senior Brother Wei was drunk and misspoke; his crime is not punishable by death."

Chen Huixue sneered, "Insulting the ancestors of the Chen family, is that considered a slip of the tongue?"

"He used magic to try and restrain his daughter."

"My daughter's cultivation is low, and she knows she is no match for him, so she has no choice but to use the protective magic treasure given to her by the ancestor."

"Unable to control his strength for a moment, then..."

The head of the Chen family nodded and turned to Xu Ningtie.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this..."

Xu Ning's eyes were icy as he stared at Chen Huixue.

The powerful spiritual pressure of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator instantly enveloped them.

however.

Chen Huixue remained dauntless and fearless.

The spiritual energy within his body flowed into the purple jade bracelet in front of him.

A chilling, icy sword aura suddenly appeared, gleaming with a faint, cold light, poised to be unleashed at any moment.

Xu Ningtie was slightly taken aback. A bone-chilling cold emanated from the purple jade bracelet sword energy.

Even he felt a chill run down his spine.

"What a powerful sword energy!"

It's not just him.

Everyone present was uneasy.

However, what surprised everyone even more was...

Chen Huixue, this young female cultivator, has such a strong and unyielding personality.

He actually confronted a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the True Meaning Sect head-on.

The Chen family head's expression changed, and he moved swiftly to block Chen Huixue's path.

"Huixue, put it away!"

Chen Huixue glanced at Shen Xuan.

He nodded slightly.

Only then did he quietly put away the purple jade sword bracelet.

The Chen family head said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Xu, let's talk this out. My daughter is ignorant, and I will teach her properly."

"Wait a minute. Patriarch Chen, are you saying that our True Intent Sect disciples just died in vain?"

Li Chizhong, the deputy envoy of the Zhenyi Sect, suddenly spoke up.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone from the True Meaning Sect, the Chen family head's eyes gleamed: "The dead cannot be brought back to life. I, Chen, am willing to pay a high price in compensation."

Li Chizhong wanted to say something more.

Xu Ningtie gently raised his hand, telling him to shut up.

"This is a misunderstanding. It was my oversight. Patriarch Chen, please don't take it to heart."

He beckoned the young deacon over.

"Please deliver these two high-grade spirit stones to his family. Tell them he unfortunately perished during a sect mission."

For a Qi Refining disciple to receive a settlement allowance of 20,000 spirit stones is a fitting end to his death.

The farce was swiftly quelled by Xu Ning's ruthless methods.

Everyone dispersed.

Xu Ningtie's gaze was fixed on the receding figure of Shen Fushi.

He saw clearly.

Just now, Chen Huixue glanced at Shen Xuan several times.

There was an unusual glint in his eyes.

……

That night.

True Meaning Sect spaceship.

In the cabin.

Xu Ningtie, Zuo Jinwei, and Li Chizhong sat facing each other.

He took a sip of the spiritual wine and picked up a piece of spiritual food with his chopsticks.

Xu Ningtie said to the two of them, "Please sit down."

"Senior Brother Xu, that girl is not simple!"

As soon as he sat down, Li Chizhong spoke urgently.

"That girl is no simple character. However, what I'm more interested in is, Junior Brother Li, what are you planning to do?"

Xu Ning asked casually.

Li Chizhong's expression froze.

He slowly took a sip of the spirit wine.

"Senior Brother Xu, this is Master Zong's intention."

"Master Zong?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning frowned deeply.

"Master Zong heard that there is a female cultivator in the Chen family on Shenlong Island who is born with an ice spiritual root, and asked me to take a look at her."

"If it is true, then bring her to the sect. He will accept her as a disciple."

Li Chizhong pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Hmph! Taking him as a disciple! I think he's just using him as a furnace for cultivation!"

Xu Ning had just finished speaking.

Zuo Jinwei then advised, "Senior Brother Xu, be careful with your words!"

Xu Ningtie glared fiercely at Li Chizhong.

"Li Chizhong, I don't care whether it's Master Zong's intention or not. If you continue to do things behind my back and hinder the overall integration of the Starry Sea, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

Li Chizhong stood up and bowed, then stammered, "Senior Brother Xu, I promise there won't be a next time."

Xu Ningtie then nodded.

"Sit down."

Li Chizhong sat there awkwardly.

"Senior Brother Xu, that girl Chen Huixue is indeed strange."

Zuo Jinwei winked at Li Chizhong and then spoke.

"As far as I know, the Chen family patriarch is not skilled in ice magic. There are other experts in the Chen family on Shenlong Island."

Xu Ning snorted coldly.

"He is naturally a master."

"Let alone the two of you. Even I wouldn't be confident of victory against this person."

Zuo Jinwei and Li Chizhong were suddenly startled and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xu Ningtie is a seed for Core Formation in the Zhenyi Sect.

He stands out among the disciples in the late Foundation Establishment stage of the sect.

His strength is comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak.

Known as the number one prodigy in the Xu family for a thousand years.

There is a high probability that a true elixir will condense.

"It's him?"

Zuo Chengdi's eyes darted around, and he guessed it immediately.

"He's just a mid-Foundation Establishment stage rune master."

Only then did Li Chizhong understand.

"Senior brothers, do you think the person behind Chen Huixue is that Shen Fei, the talisman master?"

Xu Ningtie glanced at the two of them.

"it's him!"

"My younger brother said that this person can use the Flying Talisman Ice Array. He can manipulate 108 Frost Talismans at the same time."

"At that time, on the surface, he was still in the early stage of Foundation Establishment."

Upon hearing this, both Zuo Jinwei and Li Chizhong gasped.

Li Chizhong was still somewhat skeptical: "Flying Talisman Ice Array, simultaneously manipulating one hundred and eight ice talismans, this..."

"Is this too exaggerated?"

Xu Ningtie sneered, "This is just what he showed you."

"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Huixue's purple jade sword bracelet was a gift from this person."

"The sword energy in the sword bracelet was left by this person."

"Judging from the power of that sword energy, Shen Fei's combat strength is no less than mine."

After hearing this, Li Chizhong was completely dumbfounded.

"How could such a person live in seclusion here?"

Xu Ning Tie sighed.

"Junior Brother Li, I'm giving you a word of advice. Don't get involved in Master Zong's affairs. He doesn't have much lifespan left, and he doesn't cultivate good deeds often enough. If the sects of Yan and Song go to war, I'm afraid..."

"Senior Brother Xu is right."

To get Li Chizhong to do things for him, he must have promised a lot of benefits.

However, how much they can actually get is another matter entirely.

Xu Ningtie sighed inwardly and didn't try to persuade him any further.

Even among fellow disciples, there are degrees of closeness.

He and Li Chizhong were never from the same faction.

As long as he stops causing trouble and successfully completes the sect's mission, I will be satisfied.

"And the Wei family of Lion King Island, and the Sea Dragon King of Dragon King Island."

At that moment, he was unaware.

The three of them had a brush with death.
