Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 495 Returning to the Sect (Seeking Subscriptions)

A crack suddenly appeared in the void.

A dragon claw shot out and slammed hard onto the Heaven-Burning Furnace!

There was a "dang" sound.

Amidst a deafening roar, the Heaven-Burning Furnace was sent flying backward by this claw strike.

The cauldron was covered with cracks, and spiritual flames were flying everywhere!
Ge Chengming's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, a giant shadow came flying through the air.

The savage and ferocious aura of the wild beasts swept in like a raging tide!

It was a giant, sixteen feet tall with a golden body, a blue face and fangs, wearing a golden armor, holding a golden staff, and with a dragon's image appearing behind him.

“Ge Chengming”.

Shen Xuan's eyes were icy cold as he pointed his golden light rod at the distance: "I heard you want to see me?"

Ge Chengming was horrified and retreated.

Within his soul, he heard the Demon Eye's startled cry.

"Run! This person is a Body Refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

Ge Chengming turned and fled.

But then Shen Xuan swung his staff and swept it away.

"Crack!"

The dark purple barrier array shattered completely.

Then, his figure swayed.

With lightning and thunder, his golden body shimmered with lightning, and he instantly teleported to Ge Chengming's side.

"you……"

Ge Chengming was utterly devastated.

A demonic eye suddenly emerged from between his brows, shooting out a beam of pitch-black demonic light.

"Magic Eye Vision?"

Shen Xuan snorted coldly.

The golden light rod blocked the demonic light.

It stretched out a golden palm resembling a dragon's claw, which suddenly grew to ten zhang in size.

He grabbed the Demon Eye.

"Shen Xuan, take your eyes off me!"

The demonic eye emitted a shrill, mournful cry.

"Oh, you recognize me, Shen. May I ask which Demon Lord you are?"

"I am the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord of the Yin Sha Sect. Your seven sects of the Song Kingdom are currently discussing an alliance with our six sects of the Liang Kingdom to resist the Yan Kingdom."

"We're on the same side, so take your eyes off me now!"

"One of our own?"

Shen Xuan sneered.

With a forceful pull, he ripped the demonic eye from between Ge Chengming's eyebrows.

"what!"

Ge Chengming clutched his head and screamed in agony, demonic energy swirling around his brow, dark and unfathomable.

With his pseudo-core cultivation level, he was utterly powerless against Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan grasped the still struggling and throbbing demonic eye in his palm and said with a sneer, "Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord, if you want this eye back, behave yourself."

"Otherwise, I'll crush it right now!"

"you dare!"

The demon's eyeballs darted around wildly.

"Shen Xuan, this has nothing to do with me. I have no grudge against you."

"I'm just an intelligence dealer."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"I love dealing with intelligence dealers."

"If you report the truth of the matter, I will give you two Core Formation demonic artifacts, how about it?"

"Three! My eye is ruined. Only three Core Formation demonic objects can compensate for it."

"Okay! Three items it is."

Shen Xuan quickly reached a deal with the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord.

This scene left Lü Zhengying speechless.

"Go and report to my master immediately!"

Shen Xuan glared at Lü Zhengying.

The fighting was so loud that it must have alerted the high-level cultivators nearby.

It is a time to race against time.

Lü Zhengying was still standing there dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, Pin Zhengying seemed to awaken from a dream.

"I'll go now!"

Lu Zhengying gritted her teeth, concentrated all her spiritual power, and her flying sword transformed into a golden rainbow, flying away at high speed.

……

Shen Xuan glanced at Ge Chengming, who was struggling and crying out in pain.

A slight tap with the finger.

A beam of icy sword light pierced through the fake core in his dantian.

Ge Chengming let out another earth-shattering scream.

The fake pill burst open.

Even if he is cured, his cultivation level will drop significantly, falling back to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the future, it will be very difficult to condense fake pills again.

"I'm not killing you to save face for the Immortal Changsheng."

Shen Xuan said with a cold laugh.

Look up.

Several streaks of light rushed towards them.

One of them had a powerful aura.

It was none other than the True Elixir Master.

Shen Xuan quickly used the [Invisibility Technique] and disappeared into the void.

When the Lord of Haiyue Immortal City, True Person Mingxin, arrived here.

Shen Xuan was no longer visible.

The True Man of Enlightenment scanned the area with his divine sense.

He gazed intently into the void for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.

Then look at Ge Chengming, who is on the verge of death.

He unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, temporarily halting the injury.

Behind him, a disciple asked softly, "Master, what about the space between Master Ge's eyebrows..."

"Ignore it. Send a message to the Enforcement Hall and have them send someone to handle it."

"Yes, Master."

……

After Master Mingxin and the others left.

Shen Xuan concealed himself in the void, pondering to himself.

“Master Mingxin is so strange. He seems to have some special supernatural power that allowed him to detect my presence.”

"So, just now, he deliberately slowed down to give me time to conceal myself?"

Shen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He got carried away during this time!

He fought against Lu Zhenren, the Lord of Baiyun City, intimidated Zong Zhenren of Zhenyi Sect, and killed Zhan Yue Zhenren of Badao Sect.

I once thought that real people were nothing special.

Actually, he got arrogant.

Master Zhan Yue was merely a fake Dan Master.

Master Zong is very old.

Master Lu is merely a member of a family of masters.

These are all weaklings among real people.

If you really encounter someone of the level of Master Mingxin.

Shen Xuan had no chance of winning.

Fortunately, Master Mingxin is a friend, not an enemy.

Otherwise, I really don't know how I would have ended things just now.

A cool breeze was blowing.

Shen Xuan calmed down.

"In any case, let's see Master first!"

……

It is located 100 li east of Longmen Market, in the direction of Qingyun Sect.

Shen Xuan set up the Water Moon Illusionary Light Array to prevent outside cultivators from spying.

He and Chen Huixue sat quietly in the formation, waiting patiently.

This is the place where he arranged to meet his master, True Person Hanyu. One hour later.

A streak of light, ignoring the illusion array, flew straight into it.

"Shen Xuan?"

"The disciple is here."

Shen Xuan stood up.

Opposite him, Master Hanyu stood atop the ice lotus, his eyes cold and clear.

Do you know your crime?

"Disciple knows his sin."

"Since you admit your guilt, speak properly to the Sect Leader and Senior Brother Lingxiao when you see them later."

"Yes."

Shen Xuan bowed respectfully.

It would be even better if the real-life mysterious figure were to arrive.

There were some things he wanted to clarify with the Master of Mystery face to face.

When Master Hanyu's gaze fell on Chen Huixue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

Chen Huixue obediently knelt down.

"Disciple Chen Huixue greets True Person Hanyu."

Shen Xuan said softly, "This girl is born with an ice spirit body. I saw her while traveling in the Yan Kingdom and brought her back with me."

"Ice spirit body?"

Master Hanyu lightly tapped his fingertip.

A wisp of pure ice spiritual power transformed into a cold ray of light and shot into Chen Huixue's dantian.

Chen Huixue's body trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and remained kneeling.

Master Hanyu revealed a hint of joy.

Who are the members of your family?

"I am an orphan, adopted by the Chen family of Shenlong Island in the Starry Sea of ​​Yan Kingdom, and I have taken the head of the Chen family as my father. In fact, I have settled all my grievances with the Chen family and have no further connection with them. I have resumed my original surname."

“My name is Fang Huixue. I have no relatives other than Master Shen.”

Master Hanyu thought for a moment.

Fang Huixue.

"The disciple is here."

Would you be willing to become my disciple?

Fang Huixue immediately kowtowed deeply.

"Disciple is willing."

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Master has a discerning eye. This girl is exceptionally talented and resolute. She will surely inherit the mantle of Hanyu Peak in the future."

Master Hanyu glanced at Shen Xuan and said with a stern face, "Fang Huixue, from now on, stay away from your senior brother."

"Don't walk with him unless it's absolutely necessary."

Fang Huixue secretly glanced at Shen Xuan.

"Yes, Master."

"Get up."

Fang Huixue stood up and stood behind Hanyu Zhenren.

He made a face at Shen Xuan, looking smug.

"Shen Xuan, you've been traveling for twenty years. Have you gained anything?"

"Achieve a lot."

Shen Xuan immediately demonstrated the ice technique.

Shen Xuan condensed a stream of icy sword energy, which transformed into a frost dragon.

The dragon's scales were like blades, its whiskers like frost, and within its eyes flowed a hidden sword intent.

Now, he has mastered both the [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique] and the [Slaying Immortal Water Qi Technique].

When the two are combined, their power is comparable to that of a fake elixir master.

"Is that all? Has your body-refining technique improved?"

Master Hanyu knew that Shen Xuan had achieved great success in body refinement and was already a body refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Back then, Shen Xuan killed Xiao Jingsong using the Dharma Aspect Realm Body Refining Technique.

Instead of the so-called ice magic.

"Slight progress!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"Enough to rival an ordinary True Core cultivator."

"That's good."

Master Hanyu nodded and said.

At that moment, two more streaks of light flew in rapidly.

It was none other than the Mysterious Immortal and the Soaring Cloud Immortal.

"Shen Xuan, why did you kill Ge Chengming so soon after returning to the sect?"

"Master Lingxiao said in a deep voice."

"Master Master Zhang, Master Master Lingxiao, you've come at just the right time."

Shen Xuan took out the magic eye.

"Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord, you speak!"

Upon seeing the Demon Eye, Master Lingxiao's expression darkened.

"Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord, how dare you infiltrate my Qingyun Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, please hear my explanation."

The Demon Eye explained the ins and outs of its possession of Ge Chengming.

Ultimately, it was Ge Chengming's greed that got the better of him.

He betrayed Qingyun Sect's intelligence in exchange for the Golden Elixir.

"This brat is despicable! Senior Brother Zhang, I suggest that Ge Chengming be publicly and severely punished!"

The Mysterious Master sighed.

“Junior Brother Lingxiao, Ge Chengming is already crippled. I think we should just let it go.”

"As you know, these are extraordinary times. Ge Chengming is the eldest disciple personally taught by Junior Brother Changsheng, and has been managing the Spirit Medicine Hall on his behalf for many years."

Lingxiao Zhenren also knew that it was not advisable to overstimulate Changsheng Zhenren at this time.

He sighed deeply and said nothing more.

The Mysterious Immortal looked at Shen Xuan.

"Shen Xuan, now that you have returned to the sect, let's not dwell on the past."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Han Yu Zhenren.

“I promised my master that I would devote myself to cultivation and carry forward the Hanyu Peak tradition.”

"Oh. Get to the point."

"I want to cultivate ice magic and condense a golden core; I don't want to focus solely on alchemy."

The Mysterious Master glared at Shen Xuan.

"You dare to dream of condensing a golden core!"

"Of this batch of Core Formation seeds, eighteen are Golden Core Transformation Pills, but only two are true Cores and four are false Cores."

Suddenly, Master Hanyu interjected, "A bunch of useless trash!"

These words made both Master Mizong and Master Lingxiao somewhat embarrassed.

The real person who is lost is alright.

His personal disciple, Zhang Xingyuan, condensed a true elixir, thus preserving the dignity of the Mizong lineage.

He Zhengming, the personal disciple of Lingxiao Zhenren, is only a fake elixir cultivator.

Another True Core cultivator is Xiao Zhiyi, a disciple personally taught by Master Lingjian.

Apart from Ge Chengming.

The other two fake cultivators are Lu Xinbao, a direct disciple of the Hidden Appearance True Man, and Ye Lingfeng, a direct disciple of the Heavenly Wind True Man.

The rest of the seeded cultivators, including Senior Sister Yun Chixin of Little Lone Peak, all failed to form their cores.

A 30% success rate for elite Core Formation seeds is considered a normal performance.

"My disciple Shen Xuan is exceptionally talented, the best in the sect. If he condenses his inner core, it will undoubtedly be a Golden Core!"

Master Hanyu delivered another blow.

She had complete confidence in Shen Xuan.

Back then, True Immortal Hanyu was only a hair's breadth away from achieving the Golden Core stage.

Shen Xuan's talent and foundation at this moment far surpassed hers back then.

In addition, Shen Xuan had mastered body refinement, making his physical body extremely powerful.

This is also a plus for condensing the Golden Elixir.

It's not good for the Lost Immortal to argue with the Cold Jade Immortal.

He could only ask Shen Xuan, "What do you want?"

"Master Uncle, I wish to establish a coastal island as my own training ground, where I can dedicate myself to cultivation and strive to break through to the Golden Core stage!"

Shen Xuan stared at the Mysterious Immortal, clasped his hands in a salute, and said in a deep voice.
