Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 486 Reunion with the Demon King (Please Subscribe)

Two years of arduous training resulted in a skill proficiency increase of less than 300 points.

It becomes increasingly difficult to progress through arduous practice as you go on.

Even if it costs two years of lifespan, the effect is visibly reduced.

Fortunately, the Demon Dragon's Demon Core was quite effective.

I've only refined half of it.

That added four hundred points.

"In two more years, once the Demon Dragon's Core is completely refined, the [Dragon Blood Boiling] skill can be advanced to perfection."

This means that his physical strength can double again.

"By then, let alone a True Core cultivator, even a Golden Core cultivator will be able to contend with them head-on,"

Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

Once you reach the Perfect Realm of [Dragon Blood Boiling], it becomes very difficult to improve through diligent study and practice.

At that time, the essence and blood of the dragon's descendants will be needed to enhance it.

The effects of demon cores are far superior to those of essence blood.

"If the speculation is correct, after reaching the peak of the [Dragon Blood Boiling] realm, at least ten third-tier divine dragon descendant demon cores are needed to reach the limit."

Shen Xuan glanced at the numbers on the mysterious jade talisman and felt utterly bewildered.

This doesn't even include the amount needed for a breakthrough.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

[Dragon Blood Boiling] Reaching the pinnacle, after breaking through the shackles, one can comprehend supernatural powers.

A body refiner at the Divine Power Realm is also a fourth-tier cultivator.

His status is similar to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even if their strength is far inferior to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

They are not comparable to Golden Core cultivators.

"No rush, I have a long lifespan. As long as I have the strength, I can always find a way."

In Shen Xuan's view.

Because of the existence of the mysterious jade talisman.

His chances of breaking through to the fourth level through body-refining techniques are far greater than those through spiritual cultivation.

Throughout the entire Song Kingdom, no one had ever heard of a Body Refiner at the Divine Power Realm.

"It's time to go to Baijia Village and fulfill my promise. I'll also visit the two demon kings and see if they've obtained the demon dragon's core and essence."

Over the years, Shen Xuan has frequently slipped away from Spring Breeze Island and killed more than a dozen second-tier high-grade water demons.

The essence and blood of these water demons are no longer of much use to Shen Xuan.

But each one is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

This was Shen Xuan's best bargaining chip in the deal.

……

Ten days later.

The desolate wilderness, the north wind like a knife.

Shen Xuan rode the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse, traveling along the way.

Foundation Establishment level demon hunters and second-tier demon beasts along the way all retreated.

At this point, the Silver Horned Pegasus was already a mid-grade second-tier beast.

Already possessing extraordinary bloodline, he now ran wildly, exuding a strong aura of demonic power.

"Who is that? They actually have a celestial horse mount!"

"A mid-grade second-tier spirit beast! This person is incredibly powerful!"

"Ah, if only I had a mount like that!"

"It's terrible. If you had a mount like that, you wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow!"

Along the way, the demon hunters were filled with envy.

These people are at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But they were all independent practitioners, with families to support, and each family had its own troubles.

Life was not luxurious.

They come out to hunt demons, but in reality, they are living on the edge of a knife.

If you can hunt valuable monsters, sell them for a good price, and save up enough spirit stones.

They would then go to auction off spiritual lands on the outskirts of the sects to establish cultivation families.

However, even the worst second-tier spiritual land costs 300,000 spirit stones.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators cannot afford it.

They could only form gangs and teams to venture deep into the wilderness, pinning their hopes on hunting monsters.

……

Two hundred li ahead of Caixia Ridge.

Shen Xuan took the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse and changed his appearance.

He became a rough and unrefined lone demon hunter.

Then, he strode quickly, following his memory, and walked towards Baijiazhai.

Shen Xuan was very fast.

His figure flashed by like a shooting star.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had traveled a hundred miles.

Shen Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Why are so many cultivators gathered here?"

Shen Xuan concealed his aura and hid his figure.

There was actually a cultivator's camp ahead.

Shen Xuan made an estimate.

There were approximately three to four thousand monks.

There were more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators.

A glint of light flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes.

After using [Insightful Observation], the entire scene of the cultivators' camp was laid out before my eyes.

After seeing the sect's banner fluttering in the wind.

"So it's the pioneering team from Medicine God Valley!"

"They actually advanced all the way here?"

The team was set up according to the Qingyun Sect's pioneering team.

The pioneering team of Medicine God Valley should also have three True Core Realm cultivators.

There should also be a Golden Core cultivator leading the team.

After all, deep within the desolate wilderness, there are many third-tier demon kings, each with their own unique abilities.

Without a Golden Core cultivator, the situation cannot be stabilized.

"Forget it. This has nothing to do with me. I won't provoke them."

Shen Xuan had no good feelings towards Medicine God Valley.

I don't want to associate with them.

Keep your distance and avoid contact.

……

Baijiazhai.

Shen Xuan stealthily made his way to the chieftain's residence, and only revealed himself upon seeing Bai Tiancheng.

Bai Tiancheng was startled.

"Brother Shen, what brings you here?"

"Take me to see the ancestor."

"it is good."

Before long, accompanied by Bai Tiancheng, Shen Xuan entered the ancestral temple of the Bai family.

Ten years have passed, and the Bai family patriarch has aged considerably.

He was no longer a dashing young man.

Not only did his face develop wrinkles, but his temples also turned white.

Shen Xuan could sense that the Bai family patriarch's vital energy was severely depleted.

A body refiner's strength is closely related to their qi and blood.

"Ancestor, I have not failed in my mission."

Shen Xuan got straight to the point.

He handed over two medicine bottles directly.

Each medicine bottle contained a longevity pill he had just refined.

"Thank you for your trouble, young friend Shen!" The Bai family patriarch took the medicine bottle, opened it, and was overjoyed.

Shen Xuan estimated that these two Longevity Pills could extend one's lifespan by about fifteen or sixteen years.

"This is Young Friend Shen's Foundation Establishment Pill, but..."

The Bai family patriarch took out the Foundation Establishment Pill bottle he had pawned and said somewhat embarrassedly, "A few years ago, someone in the village attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and used up three of them."

"Don't worry, young friend Shen. No matter how many spirit stones it costs, Baijia Village will pay the full price."

Shen Xuan took the Foundation Establishment Pill bottle and smiled.

"There's no need for that, Ancestor."

"The Ancestor bestowed upon me the cultivation technique, and Bai Tiancheng calls me brother. These three Foundation Establishment Pills are merely a small token of my gratitude to the Bai family."

Now, Shen Xuan has achieved success in alchemy.

He didn't take the mere three Foundation Establishment Pills seriously.

"I thank you very much, young friend Shen."

The Bai family patriarch spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan was only used to fend off the small beast tide back then.

Such a cause and effect has unexpectedly been formed.

Looking at the dashing Shen Xuan in front of him.

The Bai family patriarch couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Afterwards, the two exchanged their cultivation experiences of the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

The Bai family patriarch spoke freely about everything he knew.

Shen Xuan benefited greatly.

It's clear that the Bai family patriarch was quite sincere in this exchange.

[Talent: Dragon Blood Boiling Mastery (1528/1600)]

This exchange boosted the [Dragon Blood Boiling] skill, equivalent to half a month of Shen Xuan's cultivation.

After discussing body refinement and cultivation, Shen Xuan mentioned the pioneering team of Medicine God Valley not far away.

The patriarch of the Bai family sighed deeply.

He told Shen Xuan that Xuan Ying Zhenren from Medicine God Valley had negotiated with him a few days ago, requesting permission to pass through.

After holding a family meeting, the Bai family agreed to Medicine God Valley's request to pass through.

"Ancestor, after Medicine God Valley borrows passage, will it clash with King Howling Moon and King Three-Tailed?"

"That's inevitable."

The Bai family patriarch's eyes dimmed.

"If Medicine God Valley expands deeper into the wilderness, the territories of these two demon kings will inevitably be affected."

Shen Xuan asked, "How will they respond?"

"Let's see how we respond first, then we'll decide!"

"True beings and demon kings have always settled things with their fists. Why would they resort to words?"

Shen Xuan nodded and said, "That's the only way."

However, even in the desolate wilderness, he did not have a high opinion of the two demon kings.

After all, the leader of the Medicine God Valley pioneering team was a Golden Core cultivator.

Unless they can find a demon king with special bloodline, great supernatural powers, and the ability to rival Xuan Ying Zhenren to help them.

As a human, the Bai family patriarch certainly couldn't side with the Demon King.

"By the way, Ancestor, have you explored the Demon Realm you mentioned last time?"

"I am ashamed. I went in with them once. I found it difficult to adapt to the demonic environment inside, and only managed to obtain some second-tier demonic creatures on the edge."

"However, the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat went in a few more times afterward, and they should have gained something."

It's good that we've learned something!
Shen Xuan brought more than a dozen second-tier high-grade water demon corpses.

Most of them are various kinds of fish demons.

Three-tailed tabby cats find it hard to resist this temptation.

"If you, young friend Shen, go to see them, be careful and try not to be seen by outsiders."

The Bai family patriarch saw through Shen Xuan's thoughts and said in a deep voice.

"clear."

"Would you like me to accompany you?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and politely declined.

"No need for you to trouble yourself, Ancestor. I will go myself. They should treat me well out of respect for you."

The patriarch of the Bai family chuckled.

Just listen to those kinds of words and leave them at that.

That's a third-tier demon king.

For a bite of spiritual food, they even devoured their own brothers and sisters.

He never cared about the face of a third-level body refiner.

Shen Xuan's words were merely a pretext.

Actually, it's about having absolute confidence in one's own abilities.

It can directly confront two third-tier demon kings.

At least, they can get away safely.

The Bai family patriarch stared at the energetic Shen Xuan before him and couldn't help but shake his head.

A pang of sorrow welled up in my heart.

"I never imagined that the True Spirit Body Refining Technique, which my Bai family ancestors deduced over generations, would be brought to its full potential in this person!"

"Perhaps he really can break through to the Divine Power Realm and compete with the Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

Thinking of this, the Bai family patriarch felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

He can no longer see it.

However, Bai Tiancheng is just over a hundred years old, and his vital energy has not yet declined, so the chances of him breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm are not small.

After he breaks through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, he may be able to continue his True Spirit Body Refining Technique cultivation from Shen Xuan.

"Young friend Shen, I'll accompany you on this journey."

The Bai family patriarch smiled and said, "Perfect, I also have some trinkets. Let's see if we can trade them."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

Having more companions is good too.

It always had some deterrent effect on the two demon kings.

Human nature cannot withstand the test.

Its demonic nature is even more vulnerable.

What if the two demon kings see him coming alone and decide to kill and rob him?

Taking action would be counterproductive.

The Demon King's vitality has always been formidable.

Shen Xuan was not absolutely certain that he could kill both demon kings in one fell swoop.

Fair trade is always the best approach.

Shen Xuan stayed overnight in Baijiazhai.

The next day, he went to the Howling Moon Fox Cave with the Bai family patriarch.

We just arrived at the entrance of the cave.

A gust of wind blew by.

"How dare you human cultivators come to my cave!"

Upon seeing the Bai family patriarch and Shen Xuan, the Howling Moon Fox revealed its true form and threatened them angrily.

"After many years, King Xiaoyue is still as fond of joking as ever."

"Shen solemnly declares that he has no prior dealings with the cultivators of Medicine God Valley."

"Shen felt sympathy for King Xiaoyue's plight."

Shen Xuan said solemnly.

"Come on this!"

Howling Moon Fox said angrily, "For the sake of our past friendship, I'll let you go back this time."

Shen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Where is the Three-Tailed King? We agreed last time that I would bring it more than a dozen top-quality demon fish."

"Don't use the three-tailed silly cat as an excuse. If you don't get out of here..."

"I am coming!"

Xiaoyuehu hadn't finished speaking yet.

A gust of brown, eerie wind swept in.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time. What kind of demonic fish did you bring? Let me see!"
