Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 484 Exorbitant Prices (Please Subscribe)

It is late at night.

The rain fell like a veil.

Just now, at the banquet, Illusion Flower Master drank quite a bit of spiritual wine.

Her jade-like face was flushed with rosy clouds, a sight to behold.

Then they entered the cave.

The fingertips of the Illusionary Flower Immortal traced across Shen Xuan's chest.

His clothes ripped apart, revealing Shen Xuan's muscular, chiseled body.

She came this time dressed in a white dress. After taking off her robe, she only wore a layer of gauze over her inner garment, and her graceful figure was vaguely visible.

"Fellow Daoist Shen."

Huanhua Zhenren's voice was like a wildcat in heat, exceptionally sweet and coquettish.

"The city lord said that you have also practiced body-refining techniques, and your body is as strong as a tiger."

"Huanhua wants to give it a try."

Shen Xuan stared at the beautiful and charming Huanhua Zhenren with a stern face.

He took a deep breath and emitted a faint, soft humming sound of blood energy.

The eyes of the Illusionary Flower Master sparkled with starlight, filled with intense joy.

"Tonight, Fellow Daoist Shen, would you be willing to let Huanhua have her fill?"

A mocking smile appeared on Shen Xuan's lips.

"Huanhua is wrong."

"It should be, can you please satisfy Shen tonight?"

Done.

Shen Xuan hugged Huanhua Zhenren tightly.

Warm and fragrant, soft and supple, as if boneless.

A long-suppressed wildness suddenly erupted.

The Illusionary Flower Immortal let out a soft moan, and the hairpin in her hair jingled and fell to the ground.

The sheer fabric shattered instantly, leaving only the undergarment.

Her exposed skin was as white as snow and as delicate as a touch.

Shen Xuan made hand seals and cast spells, activating several illusionary and killing arrays that he had set up inside the cave.

Then, carrying Huanhua Zhenren, he walked towards the bed.

In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.

The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

……

The next day.

It was already noon.

The weary Huanhua Zhenren opened her clear eyes.

The bronze mirror reflected a languid, jade-like face, the corners of her eyes still tinged with the traces of last night's passion.

She gently raised her snow-white arm, her delicate hand gathering up her loose, cloud-like hair, and tucked a hairpin into it at an angle.

She stood up straight, revealing her porcelain-like neck and graceful figure.

Last night's absurd scene was like a fleeting dream.

The robust and powerful Shen Fu Master, who had tormented her to the point of near death and made her feel like she was floating on air, quietly left.

I recalled the steamy scene from last night.

Two bursts of colorful light, scorching hot, flew from the face of the Illusionary Flower Immortal.

She had never met a man with such a strong physique.

So much so that later on, it wasn't a question of whether she had enjoyed herself or not.

Instead, the other party persisted, forcing her to do many shameful things.

"That rascal!"

The ears of the Illusionary Flower Immortal burned, yet she couldn't help but miss that person.

On the jade table, someone used spiritual power to carve eight characters.

"Longing penetrates to the bone, yet our meeting and parting are as fleeting as dew."

……

At this moment, Shen Xuan and Zhuang Xueqin had already left Tengguan Immortal City.

"Even after seeing you off for a thousand miles, we must eventually part ways."

Shen Xuan said calmly, "Junior Brother Zhuang has returned to the Qingyun Sect. If you have any free time, please take care of my concubines and children."

Zhuang Xueqin solemnly said, "Senior Brother Shen, rest assured! Junior Brother will do everything in his power to protect Senior Brother's concubines and their offspring."

This is the benefit of increasing one's strength.

If we say that those at the Foundation Establishment stage are the backbone of a sect.

Once you reach the Core Formation stage, even if it's a fake Core Formation, you'll be a high-level manager in the sect.

Zhuang Xueqin broke through to the level of a pseudo-elixir master.

After returning to the Qingyun Sect, even if he has no connections, he is not someone that Lei Yaoxing, a Foundation Establishment disciple, can coerce.

Not surprisingly.

Lei Yaoxing would also take the initiative to visit Zhuang Xueqin, apologize, and ask for his forgiveness.

Shen Xuan took out the spirit contract, wiped off the spiritual energy imprint on it, and with a flick of his wrist, it turned into fragments.

"Junior Brother Zhuang, the loan agreement is gone. However, you must remember to repay the spiritual items you owe me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xueqin immediately cupped his hands and solemnly said, "Senior Brother Shen, rest assured. I will never forget the kindness of receiving the pill."

"It will take at least three years, or as little as one year, before Junior Brother will return Senior Brother's Core Formation Spiritual Object and Mind Protection Pill."

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

Brothers settle accounts clearly.

That Golden Elixir is fine, though.

After all, Zhuang Xueqin contributed both effort and spirit stones.

Giving him one would be reasonable.

However, the Core Formation Spiritual Object and the Spirit Protection Pill were lent to him by Shen Xuan.

When making friends, the worst thing is to have unclear accounts.

"By the way, Senior Brother Shen, what if the sect leader asks you about..."

"It's alright, just answer truthfully."

Now, Shen Xuan has achieved mastery of body refinement.

He fought a real battle with Master Lu.

They already possess the power to directly confront a True Immortal.

At this time, the sectarian war between the Yan and Song states was also taking place.

The Qingyun Sect couldn't do anything about him.

Shen Xuan took out a written jade slip.

"Please deliver this letter to Master Hanyu for me."

“I used my Xuanbing spiritual power to seal the surface of the jade slip. Apart from Master Hanyu, anyone else who rashly opens this jade slip will inevitably cause it to explode and destroy itself.”

Zhuang Xueqin solemnly said, "Junior Brother will certainly live up to Senior Brother Shen's expectations!"

"Alright. We'll communicate via private messages from now on. Take care, Junior Brother Zhuang!"

"Take care, Senior Brother Shen!"

The two turned around and walked away from each other.

A fierce wind suddenly arose, and the flying boat disappeared into the distance in the sky.

Shen Xuan's figure gradually blurred.

……

Three days later.

Five hundred miles away from Baicaozong, on the bank of a mighty river.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged, waiting quietly.

Deep in the sky, a cloud-piercing shuttle appeared.

Standing above was a white-haired, ruddy-faced immortal in a purple robe.

It was Li Ying'an, a top-level alchemist from the Hundred Herbs Sect.

Behind him was Zhou Yunhe, his personal disciple who was piloting the Flying Cloud Shuttle.

The shuttle descended through the clouds.

"Junior Shen Xuan, a water-based alchemist from the Qingyun Sect, greets True Man Li."

Shen Xuan stood up, greeted him, and said...

Li Ying'an scanned Shen Xuan with her divine sense.

A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes.

"Hehe, young friend Shen, is there something important you need to discuss?" Li Ying'an nodded slightly and sat cross-legged opposite Shen Xuan.

Zhou Yunhe set up a shielding array outside.

"Shen Xuan, I feel like I've heard that name before. Is your master the Cold Jade Immortal?"

"Exactly."

Li Ying'an smiled.

"So, the Water-based Cold Jade Pill you attached to your visiting card was refined by your master?"

"No, it was made by the junior."

Zhou Yunhe, who had just finished setting up the shielding array, paused upon hearing this.

"Unfortunately, there are too few, only one. It's of little use."

At this moment, Shen Xuan did not conceal his aura.

As a True Core Immortal, Li Ying'an was naturally able to sense the strength and purity of Shen Xuan's spiritual power.

His foundation in Taoism was even better than that of his personally taught disciple, Zhou Yunhe.

It is very likely a high-grade Dao foundation.

The Cold Jade Pill played an indispensable role in this.

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "A mere Cold Jade Pill is hardly worthy of Master Li's attention."

Shen Xuan first asked for some alchemy techniques.

There are many difficulties in transforming the elixir into gold.

Li Ying'an was quite generous and offered some guidance.

Shen Xuan was full of praise.

"It's a pity that you are a water-based alchemist, but you haven't condensed a true elixir."

"Otherwise, it is quite possible that they could inherit my Golden Core Transformation technique and refine the Golden Core themselves."

Li Ying'an sighed.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. The conditions are not right now. When the time is right, I will study this Golden Elixir Transformation technique myself."

This statement came out.

Not only Zhou Yunhe.

Even Li Ying'an was somewhat moved.

A third-tier True Pill Master, Shen Xuan, what a boastful tone!

Even within the Hundred Herbs Sect, there are only three alchemists of Li Ying'an's caliber.

Besides him, there was the sect leader and the supreme elder of the Hundred Herbs Sect.

Li Ying'an looked at the confident Shen Xuan and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Youth is wonderful!"

Li Ying'an sighed.

"Let's get down to business. Young friend Shen invited me out, so let's speak frankly."

Li Ying'an said calmly.

"This junior would like to make a deal with Master Li."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

"Oh, what are you trading?"

"Naturally, it's the Cold Jade Pill formula."

A glint flashed in Li Ying'an's eyes: "Oh, so young friend Shen doesn't have any soul restrictions and can freely trade the Cold Jade Pill formula?"

"I dare not deceive you in front of a true person. I, as a junior, am certainly capable of doing so."

Li Ying'an was secretly alarmed.

He had inquired about the Cold Jade Pill.

It is said that this elixir was created by the Immortal Hanyu.

In reality, it was his disciple Shen Xuan who spearheaded its development.

The person before me is not only skilled in ice magic, but also possesses considerable expertise in alchemy.

The formula for the Cold Jade Elixir is of extraordinary significance to the Hundred Herbs Sect, a sect that bases its foundation on medicinal herbs.

Because the Cold Jade Pill is similar to the Pure Foundation Pill.

Relatively speaking, the refining method is not that important.

A top-tier alchemist like Li Ying'an will eventually succeed in refining it if he practices for a while longer.

The formulation of the prescription was even more challenging.

Shen Xuan was able to successfully develop it back then.

It is a combination of three alchemists: Li Ruyi, the near-Golden Core cultivator Bingfa Hanyu Zhenren, and his own mysterious jade talisman golden finger.

Li Ying'an forced herself to suppress her excitement.

"What does young friend Shen want to trade?"

Shen Xuan gazed at Li Ying'an and said softly, "I want Master Li's formula for the Golden Elixir and his alchemy skills."

This statement came out.

A powerful spiritual pressure from a true cultivator instantly enveloped them.

The air seemed to freeze.

The atmosphere became exceptionally heavy.

Li Ying'an exuded an aura of power, her eyes sharp as knives.

Shen Xuan smiled, his expression unchanged.

The two faced each other for a long time.

In the end, Li Ying'an withdrew his true spiritual pressure.

At this moment, Shen Xuan's soul was comparable to that of a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.

In addition, his physical body is extremely strong, far surpassing that of a True Core Immortal.

Li Ying'an's spiritual pressure posed no threat to him.

Since he dared to come to Li Ying'an to make a deal.

They certainly have the ability to sit at the table.

It's no exaggeration to say that at such a close distance...

If he were to launch a sudden attack, he could easily kill Li Ying'an and his disciple Zhou Yunhe.

Regardless of whether the deal goes through or not, he will leave the State of Lu as soon as possible.

"I am willing to trade the formula for the Golden Elixir, but I cannot pass on the art of alchemy."

Li Ying'an said in a deep voice.

"That's it!"

The formula for Huajin Dan is a mature formula.

Each major sect has a copy.

There's no need to make a special transaction.

"Young friend Shen, please wait!"

Li Ying'an sincerely said, "If the alchemy tradition is not suitable, we can choose another one."

"If I'm not mistaken, young friend Shen is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Even if he obtains the inheritance of the Golden Core refining technique, he won't be able to use it in the short term."

"You'll always find a use for it in the future."

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "However, since True Person Li is unwilling to trade the Golden Elixir refining inheritance..."

"How about this, let's exchange it for three portions of the Longevity Pill ingredients."

Li Ying'an's face darkened.

"Young friend Shen, do you know the value of the ingredients in the Longevity Pill?"

"know."

Shen Xuan said slowly, "About two million spirit stones per share."

"Three portions, that's six million spirit stones."

"Only six million spirit stones?"

Li Ying'an looked at Shen Xuan, and instead of being angry, she smiled.

"Young Master Shen, what a spirit!"

"Young friend Shen, are you aware that even if you have spirit stones, the Hundred Herbs Sect will not sell the ingredients for the Longevity Pill unless there is a special reason?"

Shen Xuan waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Master Li, this junior is a water-based alchemist."

"The value of the Cold Jade Elixir formula is something we both know."

"If only the Hundred Herbs Sect in the entire Lu Kingdom can refine the Cold Jade Pill..."

Shen Xuan didn't continue.

Everyone here is smart; they understand immediately.

The same pill formula can have vastly different values ​​depending on whether it's in the hands of an individual alchemist or in the hands of a sect.
