Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 494: Demon Eye Vision (please subscribe)
A month later.

early morning.

In the State of Song, there was a market town called Longmenfang.

A blue-curtained carriage, after being registered, slowly drove into the market.

The sound of wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs startled a few early-rising birds.

The coachman was a lean man with considerable skill in ordinary martial arts.

The carriage stopped after arriving at the sect's inn.

The coachman jumped down and respectfully lifted the carriage curtain.

"Sir, it's here."

Inside was a handsome young man with striking features, accompanied by several maids on a visit.

They were all cultivators with spiritual roots.

"Book two of the best rooms."

"Yes, son."

The lean groom was a top-notch martial artist in the area.

Agile and quick-witted.

She's only in her forties.

Unfortunately, it lacks spiritual roots.

They can only engage in the martial arts profession of market transportation.

The young master was a man of great ambition.

He casually tossed out a spirit stone.

The groom's eyes lit up.

Medium-grade spirit stone!

This one spirit stone is enough for him to travel for ten years!

"Take this and use it first. Keep the rest for yourself."

A young maid in the carriage parted her cherry lips slightly.

"Young master, are we waiting for you here?"

"Wait here."

The young master stretched, making a series of cracking sounds as his bones popped.

The lean coachman's expression changed.

He was an expert and knew that this was a sign of success in body-refining techniques.

"Little Liu, you wouldn't take my spirit stones and run away with them, would you?"

The lean coachman knelt down with a thud.

"The villain dare not!"

"It's okay if you don't dare."

The young master waved his hand: "Let's go get a room. After you've settled them in, take me to Juxianlou."

"Yes!"

The young man was none other than Shen Xuan.

The maids were Chen Huixue, Bai Xiaomeng, and Xiao Cui.

Everyone disembarked from the carriage.

Shen Xuan looked at the familiar scene in Longmen Market.

An old Taoist priest selling talismans, a demon hunter carrying monster meat, and a street vendor hawking his wares...

Shen Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"Life is like a game of chess, as elusive as a dream."

Returning to the same place, everything has changed.

Looking at those low-level cultivators who were struggling to earn a few spirit stones, Shen Xuan felt a surge of emotion.

Once upon a time, he was one of them.

He never wanted to go back to that kind of life.

……

Juxianlou.

The best VIP box, number one.

Shen Xuan closed his eyes to rest.

A soft knock came from outside the door.

"come in!"

Lu Zhengying walked in, her face full of shock.

"Senior Brother Shen, it really is you!"

He stared at Shen Xuan in front of him, speechless.

It really does look like Shen Xuan.

However, she looks far too young.

At first glance, he looks to be only in his twenties.

Shen Xuan beckoned him to sit down beside him.

"Tell me what happened to the sect afterward, Junior Brother Lü."

Shen Xuan first inquired about the condition of his two masters.

This is his biggest backer in the Qingyun Sect.

Han Yu Zhenren and Gu Feng Zhenren, following Ling Xiao Zhenren, led thousands of Qingyun Sect disciples deep into the desolate wilderness to reclaim wasteland.

Lingxiao Zhenren is a Golden Core cultivator with extremely strong combat power and a high reputation.

Han Yu Zhenren is comparable to a Golden Core Zhenren, and his combat power should not be underestimated.

Although Master Gufeng is weak in actual combat, he comes from the prestigious Yang family, and most of his disciples are from sects and aristocratic families.

The pioneering team of Qingyun Sect, led by the three leaders, achieved remarkable results.

Over a period of more than ten years, two third-tier spiritual lands were reclaimed.

Another pioneering team also pioneered a third-tier spiritual land.

In addition, when the Seven Sects Alliance sold the Cold Jade Pill formula, the other six sects agreed to compensate with two third-tier spiritual lands.

The Qingyun Sect has added six third-tier spiritual lands, achieving its strategic objective.

Based on a ratio of one to three, a maximum of eighteen real people can be accommodated.

Of course, these newly reclaimed Tier 3 spiritual lands have disordered spiritual veins and turbid spiritual energy.

It also requires setting up a spirit-nurturing array, which consumes a lot of spirit stones, to cultivate and purify the spirit before it can be used.

"So, the Qingyun Sect's pioneering team has all withdrawn?"

"We withdrew two years ago. The war at the front was critical."

Lu Zhengying sighed and said, "The five sects of Yan are pressing forward step by step, and many immortal cities have already fallen on the border between the two countries."

"Many cultivation families in border prefectures and counties were uprooted by the Yan Kingdom's sects, and the entire clan was wiped out, with only a small number of immortal seedlings escaping to the core territory."

"The sect has frozen the auction of spiritual lands in its core territory."

After Pin Zhengying finished his reflections, Shen Xuan inquired about Su Xue'er, a concubine from Qingyun Immortal City, and her adopted children.

"everything is fine!"

"After Senior Brother Shen disappeared, Master Guangwei personally ordered an increase in patrol officers near the Shen residence. Although they weren't given special treatment, no one dared to bully them either."

Shen Xuan nodded.

From this perspective, it seems that Master Guangwei is on Master Mizong's side.

Thinking about it, that makes sense.

Qingyun Immortal City is the core immortal city under the Qingyun Sect.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly under my bed?

As the sect leader, Master Mizong will definitely hold on to this position tightly and will not let go easily.

However, his concubines and children were unharmed.

Those cultivation forces that had previously cooperated with him suffered severe suppression during this period.

Such as his wife's maternal family, the Ding family, the Shangguan family with whom he had cooperated, and the Tie Wendao family, which later established a cultivation family.

Lü Zhengying did not say it explicitly.

The suppression he faces will only intensify.

Fortunately, the master of Qingyun Immortal City is Master Guangwei.

Even if these cultivation families are suppressed, they can still survive with difficulty as long as they endure humiliation.

Shen Xuan didn't take it seriously.

Since they had once enjoyed the benefits brought by Shen Xuan.

It's understandable that Shen Xuan suffered some losses when he was at his lowest point. It's impossible for him to reap all the benefits and then turn around and bite the hand that feeds him.

Such fickle behavior, lacking a clear stance, makes it difficult to establish oneself in the cultivation world.

"It seems that the sect still has reservations about me."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He asked, "Has Senior Uncle Lingjian come out to perform his duties?"

Lingjian Zhenren is the head of the Battle Hall.

When there is no war, it is considered to be in an idle state.

"Master Lingjian is in charge of the entire battle. He is responsible for all personnel and resource allocation."

Lü Zhengying got up, looked around, and then went to check the door of the private room again.

Then, he moved closer to Shen Xuan and asked in a telepathic voice, "Senior Brother Shen, the deputy hall master of the Battle Hall, Xiao Jingsong, has fallen. There are rumors that it is related to you."

Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

It's not related.

He was the one who killed him.

However, he was forced to defend himself and made a mistake.

There was no need to say this to Lü Zhengying.

"It's just a rumor, don't pay any attention to it."

Shen Xuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

After a long pause, Shen Xuan finally made up his mind.

"Junior Brother Lü, you should return to the sect first and personally pay your respects to my master, True Man Hanyu."

"Just tell her I'm here and invite her to come over for a get-together."

Lü Zhengying's face lit up with joy: "Great! I'll go right away."

He still hoped that Shen Xuan would return to the sect.

In this way, he would have a powerful backer.

Shen Xuan disappeared over the years.

He was immediately brought back to reality, and could barely walk.

Even buying a decent second-tier high-grade spiritual land is proving difficult.

People only give him face because he was Shen Xuan's former friend.

Even the duties of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department were forced to be adjusted.

He went from being an elder in charge of purchasing alchemy, artifacts, arrays, and talismans to an insignificant elder in charge of miscellaneous tasks, responsible for the cleaning work of the Qingyun Sect.

"Safe travels."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Shen."

……

Three hundred miles outside Longmenfang Market, deep in the dense forest.

Lü Zhengying flew on a sword.

Starting from Longmen Market, everything to the east falls within the sphere of influence of the Qingyun Sect.

Nobody dares to cause trouble here.

Nevertheless, Lü Zhengying remained extremely cautious.

While controlling the sword, he also used his divine sense to scan the surroundings.

However, while flying over a small hill...

A pressure from a fake elixir descended like a mountain.

Ten feet away, a Taoist priest in purple robes stood in mid-air.

"Master Ge!"

Lü Zhengying's expression changed.

This person is none other than Ge Chengming, the newly promoted fake alchemist of Lingdan Hall.

He is also the actual person in charge of the Spirit Pill Hall of the Qingyun Sect.

"Lu Zhengying, what's the matter? Why are you so panicked? Have you done something wrong?"

Ge Chengming said calmly.

The purple Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and the pressure of the fake elixir enveloped Lü Zhengying, making it difficult for him to breathe.

“Master Ge, I have been ordered by Master Tongxuan to go out and collect elixirs and talismans, and I am about to return to the sect.”

"Oh? I heard that your procurement position was abolished a long time ago."

Ge Chengming lightly made a hand seal, and a dark purple barrier array suddenly rose up, trapping Lü Zhengying inside.

"Trapping array?"

Lü Zhengying's expression changed drastically.

This Ge Chengming is clearly trying to get rid of him.

"Junior Brother Lü, you are still so out of touch with reality."

Ge Chengming chuckled, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Have you found out anything about that traitor Shen Xuan? Tell me where he's hiding, and I'll spare your life."

Lu Zhengying asked in a trembling voice, "You want to attack me? If you do, you'll be breaking the rule that members of the same clan must not kill each other!"

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Enforcement Hall?"

Ge Chengming shook his head.

"Stubborn!"

After he finished speaking, a vertical pupil suddenly split open between Ge Chengming's brows. It was as black as ink and filled with demonic energy. It was a demonic eye that the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord had cultivated!
"Buzz!"
Magic light bursts out.

Lu Zhengying felt as if her soul was being pierced by a thousand needles; her head was throbbing with pain and blood was seeping from her seven orifices.

"Senior Brother Ge, you actually colluded with demonic cultivators!"

The demonic eye actually spoke in a human voice: "Hehe, this person actually has some courage. Once I defile his soul, I can control his body and turn him into a zombie puppet."

Ge Chengming said calmly, "Lu Zhengying, you heard that. If you don't confess, your soul will be damaged and you'll become a walking corpse."

"Even if I wanted to help, I couldn't."

Lü Zhengying clutched her head and screamed in agony.

"Stop, okay, I'll talk!"

Ge Chengming stopped the Demon Eye attack.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, I just went to Longmen Market and received a secret letter."

Lu Zhengying reached into her bosom, her hands trembling slightly.

"go to hell!"

What was pulled out was not a secret letter.

Instead, it was a stack of exquisite [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans].

There are at least a dozen of them.

This was a gift from Shen Xuan to him back then.

Reserve it as a means of survival.

"Huh, stubborn!"

Ge Chengming summoned a Heaven-Burning Furnace, which he spun around and held in front of him as a shield.

The lightning unleashed by the dozen or so [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans] struck the furnace artifact with crackling sounds.

Lu Zhengying mustered all her spiritual power, summoned her natal flying sword, and shot it toward the dark purple barrier.

He wanted to shoot through the formation and escape.

However, Ge Chengming would not allow him to escape.

A murderous intent suddenly arose!
Ge Chengming grinned maliciously.

The blood-red Heaven-Burning Furnace spewed out scorching spiritual flames and descended upon Lü Zhengying!
"Junior Brother Lü, since you refuse to talk, then die!"

Lu Zhengying gritted his teeth and urged his flying sword forward. The sword light shot out like a golden rainbow, but it shattered inch by inch under the pressure of the furnace.

In his line of sight, the flames at the mouth of the cauldron surged and were about to engulf him.

The difference between the late Foundation Establishment stage and the Pseudo Core Formation stage is too great.

Despite Lü Zhengying's best efforts, she could not resist.

He sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and awaited death.

At this time.

"Moo!"

A dragon's roar reverberated through the barrier formation.
