Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 473 Prolonging Life (Seeking Subscriptions)

Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl before him, Shen Xuan's first thought was to slap her on the head.

Give Chen Huixue a good wake-up call when she's completely out of her mind.

However, they are already twenty years old.

I'm really too embarrassed to do it.

"What nonsense!"

Shen Xuan's expression changed, and he said angrily, "I told you long ago, apart from your biological parents, there is no one you can completely trust!"

Shen Xuan doesn't even know where Chen Huixue's biological parents are.

"The person you trust most is the one who will hurt you the most!"

"The arts of alchemy and talismans are merely supplementary techniques in cultivation."

"What truly determines your path is your cultivation level and your actual combat strength."

Seeing Shen Xuan's anger, Chen Huixue knelt down with a thud, her pretty face flushed red, and dared not speak.

"stand up!"

Shen Xuan glared at Chen Huixue.

"Listen carefully. You were born with an ice spirit body, which is not a blessing but a curse."

"That Master Zong of the Zhenyi Sect is nearing the end of his lifespan and has not yet completely given up hope."

"When he's desperate, he's capable of anything."

"Don't count on me, I wouldn't dare to provoke a sect master."

"Don't count on the Chen family of Shenlong Island. They have lived here for a long time, have many members, and dare not offend the sect's true masters."

"You can rely on yourself."

Shen Xuan took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Cultivate diligently and establish your Dao foundation as soon as possible."

"If there's enough time, I'll try to find a way to take you to see someone."

"If she is willing to take you as her apprentice, you can still save your life."

"Otherwise, there is only one way out: death."

Did you hear what I said clearly?

After Shen Xuan finished speaking.

Chen Huixue bowed in greeting.

"Xue'er, you heard me clearly."

"Xue'er will work hard in her cultivation and will never let Master Shen down."

Shen Xuan waved his hand.

"Go down. Go back and think it over carefully."

Chen Huixue bowed again and silently left the practice room.

"This girl!"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

The world is treacherous.

Chen Huixue is inexperienced in the ways of the world and should not be allowed to grow up so carefree.

"You're twenty now, it's time to be more sensible."

Shen Xuan felt pleased after scolding Chen Huixue.

Jealousy vanished instantly.

Sure enough, you can't keep your anger inside.

It's better to vent.

However, what Shen Xuan said to Chen Huixue was not a threat.

He sincerely hoped that Chen Huixue would cultivate diligently and build a superior foundation for her Dao.

When the time comes, I will recommend it to Master Hanyu Zhenren.

"It's time to take the longevity elixir."

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

Then, he took out the newly refined premium longevity pill.

"Even a regular longevity pill costs 100,000 spirit stones and is still hard to find."

"This premium longevity pill is worth at least 200,000 spirit stones!"

However, Shen Xuan didn't think it was particularly valuable.

For him, spiritual items that could be bought with spirit stones were not considered rare.

Shen Xuan silently used the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique].

A longing flickered within his soul.

Shen Xuan took the premium longevity pill.

The body's Qi and blood churn.

The internal organs and viscera are affected, blood flow accelerates, and metabolism speeds up.

The nine-colored lotus blooms in grand style.

An hour later.

Shen Xuan fully refined the medicinal power of the premium longevity pill.

He was full of vitality, aging in reverse like a teenager.

On the mysterious jade talisman.

【Shouyuan: 140/359】

It's been an extra eighteen years!

An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator can extend their lifespan by about ten years by taking a Longevity Pill.

The premium longevity pill is more effective.

Most of them are thirteen or fourteen years old.

It is extremely rare for someone like him to have an elixir that adds eighteen years to their lifespan.

"Is this what makes the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] and [Eternal Life] skills so special?"

Shen Xuan was overjoyed.

At this point, his lifespan exceeded that of the fake elixir master.

Afterwards, I will continue to take the premium longevity pills and premium health-restoring pills.

In addition, there's the breakthrough in cultivation level.

When the foundation building is completed, one's lifespan will approach five hundred years.

It is twice that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"With so much lifespan, I can go all out and diligently cultivate [Dragon Blood Boiling]!"

Activating the [Dragon Blood Boiling] cultivation technique can increase skill proficiency.

Even without the essence blood of a third-tier divine dragon descendant.

Through diligent study and practice, Shen Xuan was able to gradually improve his [Dragon Blood Boiling] skill.

"With increased strength, there's nowhere in the world I can't go!"

"Besides, this is in the East China Sea!"

The East China Sea is his natural hunting ground.

The second-tier water demons in the Starry Sea were no longer enough for him.

In fact, there are also many underwater spiritual veins, wonders of nature, and various mineral veins in the open sea.

Just like on land.

These rare and precious materials are all protected by powerful deep-sea demon kings.

Ordinary True Core cultivators would find it difficult to gain an advantage against the Deep Sea Demon King at the bottom of the sea.

Even with powerful magic weapons, one can only gain a temporary advantage.

It will be difficult to hold on to it.

Shen Xuan thought for a while.

"It's too early to discuss this."

In his view, if it involves life safety, it is best not to act rashly unless you are 99% certain.

No rare treasure is more important than his life.

"First, wipe out the second-tier high-grade sea monsters in the Starry Sea!"

Shen Xuan estimated that there were over a hundred second-tier high-grade water demons in the Starry Sea.

There are also more than a dozen second-tier top-grade water demons.

That'll keep him busy for a while.

He also had to diligently cultivate the [Dragon Blood Boiling] technique, while also mastering various other physical skills, refining longevity pills and foundation-building pills, and creating thunder talismans, ice talismans, and poison talismans.

"Fortunately, I can directly consume the fake pill."

Shen Xuan took out Lu Zhanpeng's fake core, and without further hesitation, used the Ice Soul Sword to cut off a small piece, swallowed it, and began to refine it.

Having learned from the previous experience of devouring Xiao Jingsong's fake core.

Shen Xuan was familiar with the process. The Nine-Colored Lotus was also more effective than before.

At the same time, Shen Xuan activated the "White Bone Observation Inner Vision Method" to illuminate the White Bone Pearl and suppress the malevolent energy within the fake elixir.

Amidst the changing light, the nine-colored lotus, after purification, released about 30% of its pure spiritual power, which merged into Shen Xuan's Dao Foundation spiritual sea.

An hour later.

Shen Xuan opened his eyes and sighed softly.

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

"They're all fake cultivators, yet the quality varies so drastically!"

"The same amount of spiritual energy only increased by half compared to last time!"

Even with complete refinement, one might not be able to advance to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment!

Shen Xuan silently did some calculations in his mind.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Actually, this is quite reasonable.

They are both fake cultivators.

Lu Zhanpeng had just condensed his core and was still a cultivator in his family.

Xiao Jingsong had been condensing his elixir for many years and was known as the number one fake elixir master of the Qingyun Sect.

They cannot be compared.

Lu Zhanpeng's fake pills are of half the quality of Xiao Jingsong's, which is already quite good.

……

a few days later.

The patriarch of the Chen family came to visit.

living room.

After receiving the storage bag from the Chen family patriarch, Shen Xuan scanned it with his divine sense and confirmed that it matched the list of spiritual herbs. Only then did he imprint his seal on the spiritual contract.

Then, Shen Xuan handed a medicine bottle to the Chen family patriarch, which contained two longevity pills.

After verifying that everything was correct, the Chen family patriarch branded a magic seal onto the spiritual contract that Shen Xuan had taken out.

"Master Shen, you're amazing!"

"Put away the Longevity Pill carefully," the Chen family patriarch praised.

"It's just a small trick."

Shen Xuan said modestly.

The Chen family patriarch did not argue.

I smiled, but a deep sense of envy welled up inside me.

If it weren't for Master Lu's personal arrival...

He couldn't believe it.

This reclusive cultivator who lived in seclusion in the Chen family was actually a second-tier high-grade water magic alchemist!

It's the kind that can even produce longevity pills!
This matter is of great importance.

It's impossible for Master Lu to frequently travel to and from Baiyun Immortal City.

The longevity pill and the medicinal materials are also very expensive.

The best envoy for the two to collaborate on alchemy was the Chen family patriarch.

Whether it's the Lu family of Baiyun Immortal City, the cultivation families of Fanxing Sea, or the pirates raiding cultivation sites in the nearby seas.

There is no one who doesn't need the Longevity Pill.

If other cultivation forces learn that the guest elder of the Chen family can refine the Longevity Pill...

This will definitely cause a huge uproar.

Even the True Meaning Sect.

They might also have designs on this person.

In fact, the Chen family patriarch also had doubts.

Why didn't Master Lu control Shen Fei?

Instead, he was left to stay on Spring Breeze Island to refine pills alone.

This is not in line with the style of powerful cultivation families.

"Either Shen Fei has some hidden protective methods that even Master Lu is wary of."

"Either he has an extraordinary background, or he has a powerful force protecting him."

Whatever the reason.

If even Master Lu dared not touch him, then the Chen family patriarch would certainly not dare to touch him either.

After receiving a promise from Master Lu that he would receive one Longevity Pill per year as payment, the Chen family patriarch readily agreed.

However, it's just a round trip to Baiyun Immortal City once a month.

For him, it's just a form of relaxation.

Transaction complete.

At Shen Xuan's instruction.

Chen Huixue came to pay her respects to the Chen family patriarch.

The Chen family patriarch offered a few words of encouragement.

"Hmm, Xue girl, not bad, keep up the good work."

He took out a water-attribute flying sword, a high-grade magic weapon, and gave it to Chen Huixue.

After thanking her, Chen Huixue happily withdrew.

Shen Xuan inquired with the Chen family patriarch about the situation on the front lines between Yan and Song.

As he expected.

The war between the two sects turned into a war of attrition.

The Yan state held a slight advantage in strength.

The State of Song, on the other hand, had the advantage of playing on home ground.

Both sects, without prior agreement, deployed their independent cultivators and family cultivators to the front lines of the war.

They played for two years.

Even the fake Dan Master didn't make a move.

A large group of novices were pecking at each other.

Both sects are mobilizing independent cultivators to participate in the war.

They proactively offered many Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items as rewards to those who achieved merit in the war.

Several exemplary cases were established at each front line.

Originally an unknown Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, he gained many war merits, exchanged them for Foundation Establishment Pills, and established his Dao Foundation in one fell swoop.

Not only that, but they continued their efforts, fought valiantly, and made countless contributions, eventually exchanging for a second-tier spiritual land within the sect, thus establishing a foothold there.

The next step is to establish a cultivation family, known as the Ancestral Dao Sect.

He married more than a dozen wives and concubines, and his family prospered.

Such a publicity campaign.

Many independent cultivators and frustrated family cultivators, filled with enthusiasm, signed up to participate.

"In prosperous times, they are cattle and horses; in chaotic times, they are cannon fodder. In times of peace, they are exploited; in times of war, they are used to die."

"In this round, the sects of Yan and Song have won overwhelmingly."

Shen Xuan's judgment was proven correct.

As long as the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the two sects don't make a move.

The so-called war between the sects of Yan was essentially a war of plunder and attrition.

The army of cultivators led by the five sects of Yan State entered the border of Song State, occupied some territory, and annexed a small number of cultivation families.

However, for the seven emperors of the Song state, this did not fundamentally harm them.

Therefore, the seven sects of the Song Kingdom still had the strength to unite and advance into the wilderness, opening up new third-tier spiritual lands.

"Therefore, the seven clans of Song had already made their plans. If they could win, they would fight; if they couldn't, they would retreat."

"It's nothing more than giving up some spiritual land. In any case, what's being given up are all border spiritual lands and vassal states."

"Our core interests have not suffered much damage."

“Cultivation families that develop on the border are already marginalized among the seven sects of the Song Kingdom.”

As far as Shen Xuan knew, most of the sects and families were stationed in the core area of ​​the Song Sect.

The vast majority of spiritual lands on the border are acquired by independent cultivators without any real connections, who purchased them from sects through auctions.

Good second-tier spiritual lands are not available to ordinary cultivators who are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, unless they have connections or a powerful background.

Ultimately, sect wars are a way to divert attention from internal conflicts.

It's the kind that's particularly effective.

When the Chen family patriarch left, he told Shen Xuan some bad news.

The True Master of the True Meaning Sect will send his personal disciple to examine Chen Huixue under the guise of selecting outstanding disciples.
