Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 475 The Truth Comes Out (Please Subscribe)

No matter how Zhuang Xueqin tried to persuade him, Shen Xuan did not express his opinion.

They claimed that the matter was of great importance and required careful consideration.

Instruct Zhuang Xueqin to first gather intelligence, keep a close eye on these five leaders of the Tribulation Cultivator Sect, and wait for further developments.

"Senior Brother Shen, you're being too cautious!"

Zhuang Xueqin said helplessly.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. When it involves real people's schemes, you can never be too careful!"

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "It's not too late for us to make our move when the time is right."

Zhuang Xueqin had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Without Shen Xuan's help, he dared not act rashly.

Zhuang Xueqin took out a storage bag.

"By the way, these are the spiritual herbs I've collected over the years. I'll exchange them with Senior Brother Shen for some Foundation Establishment Pills."

Shen Xuan took the storage bag and scanned it with his divine sense. Inside were more than thirty jade boxes containing the main ingredients of the Cold Jade Pill.

"Eight Foundation Establishment Pills, how about that?"

"Okay. I'll take some of each type."

After the transaction was completed, the atmosphere became much more amicable.

Shen Xuan took out a prescription, which included the main ingredients for Cold Jade Pill, Longevity Pill, and Rejuvenation Pill, in addition to Cold Jade Pill.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, take a look. If you find any of the medicinal herbs listed here, the price is negotiable."

Zhuang Xueqin glanced at the prescription, his expression strange.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Senior Brother Shen, this list of spiritual herbs you have seems to be for refining longevity elixirs."

"Hmm. Longevity pills and rejuvenation pills."

Zhuang Xueqin's body trembled.

Staring at Shen Xuan, speechless.

After a long pause, he stammered, "Senior Brother Shen, excuse me, but I wanted to ask if you can refine Longevity Pills and Life-Extending Pills?"

"We can't refine the Longevity Pill. The Longevity-Increasing Pill can barely break even, so we need two pills per batch."

Shen Xuan said with considerable emotion.

"This……"

Zhuang Xueqin took out the eight Foundation Establishment Pill bottles that he had just collected.

"Senior Brother Shen, could you please exchange this for a Longevity Pill?"

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

"Eight Foundation Establishment Pills can only be exchanged for two Longevity Pills. You should think it over."

"Think about it!"

Zhuang Xueqin pondered this in his heart.

If he had known that Shen Xuan could refine the Longevity Pill, he definitely wouldn't have exchanged it for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Two longevity pills can increase lifespan by fifteen or sixteen years and delay the decline of qi and blood.

His chances of condensing an inner core can also be increased slightly.

No wonder Senior Brother Shen was unwilling to put himself in danger.

He possesses such profound knowledge of Taoist alchemy.

Over the years, twenty or thirty years later, the foundation will be fully established.

Even without returning to the Qingyun Sect, the wealth he has accumulated is enough to exchange for a Golden Transformation Pill.

Zhuang Xueqin's attitude towards Shen Xuan became even more respectful.

I know my own limitations.

He dared not offend Senior Brother Shen in front of him.

Others thought he was just a talisman master.

He knew that Shen Xuan was the top student in the sect's minor competition and his combat strength could sweep away his peers in the Qingyun Sect.

Back then, Shen Xuan quietly disappeared from the Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect issued a ban prohibiting anyone from mentioning Shen Xuan.

The truth behind it all remains unknown to anyone.

However, it disappeared at the same time as Shen Xuan.

There's also Xiao Jingsong, the deputy head of the Battle Hall.

This person is known as the number one fake alchemist of the Qingyun Sect!

In Zhuang Xueqin's eyes, Shen Xuan was unfathomable and extremely secretive.

In terms of actual combat strength, even if it's inferior to a fake Core Formation cultivator.

It can also confront them head-on for a time.

That's why he took the initiative to come to him and ask to join forces.

The two chatted for a while longer before Zhuang Xueqin took his leave.

They promised to find a way to collect the elixirs on the list.

Shen Xuan personally saw him off.

He was instructed to conceal his identity.

Don't let the Dragon King and his crew find out.

Return to the cave.

Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

If what Zhuang Xueqin said is true.

If the opportunity arises, he will definitely take it.

With the three main ingredients for the Golden Elixir in hand, collecting the remaining auxiliary ingredients becomes much easier.

He simply didn't want to join forces with Zhuang Xueqin.

With his current strength.

In the environment of the East China Sea.

Let alone the fake immortals like the Sea Dragon King, the Sea Suppressor King, and the Everlasting Victory Ship Owner.

It was Master Lu himself who came.

He was confident that he could remain invincible.

Both are third-tier cultivators.

Once fully mastered, [Dragon Blood Boiling] significantly boosts immediate combat power.

On the vast ocean, it should be able to withstand the supernatural powers of Master Lu.

"We need to find out about Master Lu's supernatural abilities."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be prepared for any eventuality!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

In Wuling County and the coastal area, he only feared Master Lu.

A fake alchemist who has not mastered supernatural powers.

It's difficult to threaten him.

……

A few days later.

late at night.

After completing his cultivation of "Dragon Blood Boiling" atop the mountain, Shen Xuan removed the restrictions and descended the mountain alone.

At this moment, the mountain wind was chilly, and the night was deep.

The chirping of insects in the mountains all stopped.

Wherever Shen Xuan went, all was silent.

After he leaves.

Only then did those wild insects dare to chirp again.

As they approached the cave.

Shen Xuan sensed something and looked up.

Chen Dafu's figure stood guard there.

"Who?"

"It is I, Chen Dafu. Master Shen, the Ancestor has something to discuss with you outside the island."

Chen Dafu said in a low voice.

The Chen family patriarch asked him to come off the island to discuss something.

Shen Xuan sneered inwardly.

Don't say that Chen Dafu's disguise is not convincing.

Even if it were the real Chen Dafu, he wouldn't believe it if he said that.

Given his current status and position, the Chen family patriarch doesn't have the authority to instruct him to pay a visit late at night.

What's meant to come will eventually come.

Even if you want to keep yourself pure and upright, you can't escape the various causes and effects of fate.

He stopped and stared at Chen Dafu across from him.

In the darkness, his expression was obscured, and his long robe fluttered in the night wind.

In fact, Shen Xuan sensed something was wrong even several miles away.

This person is clearly a demonic cultivator.

He possessed the malevolent aura unique to demonic cultivators.

"The Ancestor is looking for me?" Shen Xuan asked calmly.

"Yes. Please ask Master Shen to come out of the island and meet him immediately."

Chen Dafu urged.

"Then let's go."

"Alright, I'll lead the way."

Two figures, one in front of the other, maintained a distance of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) as they flew to the exit of Spring Breeze Island.

Chen Dafu made a hand seal and cast a spell to activate the island's protective formation.

"Master Shen, please."

Shen Xuan walked out expressionlessly.

Beside him, Chen Dafu suddenly let out a cold laugh, his eyes flickering like ghostly fire, his body swelled up, and with a wave of his hand, a black magic net with a slightly fishy smell covered him.

"Master Shen, surrender obediently, and I'll spare your life!"

Chen Dafu cackled strangely.

Suddenly, some dried tangerine peel fell off his entire face, instantly making him look extremely sinister.

Suddenly.

The sound of clothes tearing rang out.

In his line of sight, Chen Dafu straightened his hunched body, transforming into a lean and muscular man, and spat out a stream of black gas that shot towards Shen Xuan's face.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

A demonic cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

His demonic aura was relatively strong and pure.

If it were to deal with an ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment rune master.

It was a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, he had no idea how terrifying the person he was facing was.

Shen Xuan felt completely calm.

This demonic cultivator, who was impersonating Chen Dafu, posed no threat to him.

The demonic energy was about to spray onto his face.

Shen Xuan pointed.

A dark, icy fish materialized at his fingertips and leaped out.

Instantly, it transformed into a cyan spiritual barrier, enveloping him within it.

"Freeze into a shield!"

"You've got some skills!"

The lean demonic cultivator sneered.

He made a hand seal and cast a spell, and the black magic net tightened instantly.

It clung tightly to the blue ice wall.

Shen Xuan was trapped inside and unable to move.

"Brother Daoist, why are you treating me like this?"

"Heh heh heh, Shen Fei, you've been caught!"

"Please speak frankly, fellow Daoist."

"You will know when your master wants to see you."

Shen Xuan looked as if he had just realized something.

"Could it be the Demon Lord Xuan Ye?"

"You're not stupid, are you? You know your master's name."

This lean demonic cultivator, who was impersonating Chen Dafu, was actually a disciple of the Demon Lord Xuan Ye.

"I never expected that someone as powerful as Demon Lord Xuanye would notice someone as insignificant as me. But if she wanted to see me, she could have simply given the order. Why go to all this trouble?"

Shen Xuan asked with a wry smile.

"That bitch Zhu Yingying is a bit strange. I'll restrain you first. Enough nonsense, put her away!"

However, the lean demonic cultivator continued to cast spells, and the black demonic net bound Shen Xuan's body without any reaction.

"I'm going."

Shen Xuan sneered: "However, I don't like being tied up."

The next moment, Shen Xuan's body burst forth with bursts of spiritual light.

His hands, shimmering with a faint golden light, grasped the black magic net.

Use slight force.

"Stab" sound.

Shen Xuan tore this mid-grade magic treasure in half with his bare hands.

The demonic cultivator was immediately dumbfounded.

After a moment of stunned silence, he turned around and transformed into a black streak of light, fleeing at top speed.

This was the first time he had ever encountered a cultivator who could tear apart a mid-grade magic treasure with a single blow.

Based on the divine power he had just displayed, he knew he was no match for it.

Thirty-six strategies are the best!
However, Shen Xuan shook his head.

A burst of lightning erupted from his body.

In an instant, he teleported to the front of the lean demonic cultivator.

He revealed himself, blocking his path, and pointed slightly at him.

A dark ice fish leaped from his fingertip, instantly striking his body and freezing him into an ice sculpture.

"A Foundation Establishment stage disciple of the Hehuan Sect is nothing special."

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

It's not that the other side is too bad.

But I am too strong.

Even without using body-refining techniques.

Its spiritual sea capacity exceeds that of a fully established Foundation Establishment cultivator, and its spiritual power is as pure as that of a False Core Immortal.

Even if a hundred or eighty people with the strength of a lean demonic cultivator came, Shen Xuan wouldn't even flinch.

At this moment, Shen Xuan did not kill him.

The lean demon cultivator's magic power was imprisoned, and his body was unable to move. He could only blink his eyes and look at Shen Xuan in fear.

This is nowhere near the mid-Foundation Establishment stage rune master!
In fact, his strength is not much different from that of his master!

There's a reason why Shen Xuan didn't kill the lean demonic cultivator.

First, he referred to Shen Xuan as Shen Fei.

This shows that the lean demonic cultivator did not obtain accurate information from Zhu Yingying.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to impersonate Chen Dafu and come to Spring Breeze Island alone to deal with Shen Xuan.

Secondly, the lean demonic cultivator did not kill him either.

The methods used—the black magic net and the breath of magic energy—are both control-based.

I didn't intend to take his life.

Clearly, he wanted to control him first before taking him to see the Demon Lord Xuan Ye.

Thirdly, Shen Xuan was unwilling to escalate the matter.

He did not have preconceived notions.

He didn't think he wanted to fight Xuan Ye Demon Lord to the death.

Essentially, the two were complete strangers and had no fundamental conflict of interest.

Xuan Ye Demon Lord is merely a fake Core Demon Lord.

In terms of strength, she is definitely no match for him.

But behind the Demon Lord Xuanye is the behemoth that is the Hehuan Sect.

Shen Xuan didn't want to provoke them.

He was unaware of the grudge between Zhu Yingying and Xuan Ye Demon Lord.

They didn't believe Zhu Yingying's one-sided story either.

The Demon Lord Xuanye embezzled her mother's inheritance and controlled her to become his backup for possession.

Shen Xuan didn't believe a single word of it.

In the incredulous gaze of the lean demonic cultivator.

Shen Xuan waved gently.

Release the icy confinement binding him.

"Fellow Daoist, didn't you say that your master, Demon Lord Xuan Ye, wanted to see me?"

"Please lead the way!"

The lean demonic cultivator felt a chill run through his body.

A chill ran to the bone.

He hadn't felt "cold" for many years.

Looking at the smiling Shen Xuan in front of him.

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was shivering with cold.

half an hour.

He then activated his demonic power to dispel some of the chill.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I will now take you to see your master."
