Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 499 Dragon Blood Perfection (Seeking Further Subscriptions)

half year later.

Shen Xuan came out of the training room and arrived at the summit of the main peak of Flying Dragon Island.

An illusion array has been set up here, and a notice from the island lord has been posted, designating this area as a restricted zone, prohibiting cultivators from coming up.

At this moment, dark clouds covered the mountaintop.

Shen Xuan stepped onto the rugged rocks and silently circulated the [Dragon Blood Boiling] technique.

His blood began to mutate into a greenish-blue color, like emerald jade, and suddenly accelerated, surging like magma.

With a low growl like an old ox, silvery, snowflake-like dragon scales appeared on Shen Xuan's skin, and his body swelled up.

In the next instant, Shen Xuan transformed into a ten-foot-long ice dragon!
"Moo!"

The Frost Dragon soared into the sky, its roar shattering the clouds and sea within a hundred feet. Its azure eyes were as cold as ice, capable of freezing everything and sealing off a hundred miles of sea.

The dragon's claws unleashed a burst of azure lightning.

The entire mountain began to tremble, and the rock walls cracked like a spider web under the crushing force of the dragon!
On the mysterious jade talisman.

[Talent: Dragon Blood Boiling (Perfected) (2/3200)]

Shen Xuan tested the power of the dragon form.

With a slight sway of its tail, the dragon stirred up a hurricane, turning all the rocks within a hundred feet into dust.

With a slight shake of its head, the dragon conjured a hundred azure lightning spears in the air, instantly blasting a low mountain into scorched earth.

As the dragon breathed, giant waves tens of feet high rose from the sea, their spray interspersed with arcs of azure electricity.

However, Shen Xuan's mood suddenly became irritable.

I want to destroy everything I see.

"Oh no! This is the backlash of the dragon blood's bestial nature!"

The internal visualization method of White Bone Contemplation operates rapidly.

"The White Bone Pearl!"

Shen Xuan roared in fury.

In the perception of divine sense, the Frost Dragon transformed into a Bone Dragon.

From the Jade Pillow acupoint in the dragon's brain, a red pearl emerged, emitting a red divine light that illuminated the entire dragon bone.

His mind cleared instantly, and he forcefully suppressed the urge to destroy.

Shen Xuan's body swayed and he transformed back into human form.

He slowly finished his practice, suppressing the abnormal changes in the dragon blood within his body.

"Fortunately, I practiced the White Bone Contemplation Inner Vision Method and carefully maintained a clear mind. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Just now, Shen Xuan really thought he was an ice dragon.

He was violent and tyrannical.

I want to freeze and destroy everything I see.

"The body-refining technique has come to an end; it's time to focus all my energy on cultivating spiritual techniques!"

Shen Xuan felt that his soul did not meet the requirements of the Body Refinement Divine Power Realm.

If this continues, the backlash from the dragon blood will only grow stronger.

It is very likely that they will go mad and lose their mind.

"It's a pity that I didn't manage to comprehend the Divine Dragon's power."

After transforming into a dragon, it appears to possess immense strength, capable of commanding thunder and lightning, changing size at will, summoning wind and rain, and so on.

But none of these are the true divine powers of the dragon.

These are just some basic innate skills after transforming into a dragon.

"Even if I comprehend the divine power of the dragon, my current physical body and soul should not be able to withstand it."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Such a commotion, even with the illusion array shielding it, still alarmed many people.

At the port, on the Flying Dragon warship, Chu Duanlang stood alone on the deck, gazing at the ever-changing dragon figure in the sky, a hint of joy on his face.

"He transformed into a divine dragon! Island Master Shen is such a person!"

"Poor Chu Duanlang, after drifting through half his life, I've finally encountered a great opportunity!"

As a rogue cultivator, he cultivated alone to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, experiencing countless hardships and dangers, and facing life and death several times. Only he himself knows the truth.

It's not that I don't want to join a cultivation sect and live a stable life.

Instead, after weighing various factors, they gave up on everything.

He coveted the resources of the cultivation forces.

The cultivation forces valued his combat prowess.

If anything happens, he will be sent to the front lines.

Unlike Shen Xuan, who offered his own second-tier superior warship as captain, only responsible for patrolling the area around Flying Dragon Island.

"One longevity pill every five years, two every ten years!"

Two longevity pills can increase one's lifespan by fifteen or sixteen years.

In this way, the decline of qi and blood can be delayed, and the chances of breaking through to the late stage of foundation building are increased.

Having spent his time among independent cultivators, Chu Duanlang knew that for those without a strong foundation, personal strength was the best way to realize their self-worth and elevate their status.

On the other side, Lin Zhongyue, disturbed, came out of her cave, glanced at the scene a few times, and then quietly returned to her residence to rest.

He was just a spiritual plant grower.

They planted medicinal herbs and rice to earn spirit stones and support their families.

He had long since given up on the path of Taoism.

Shen Xuan entrusted him with the full management of all the spiritual lands on Flying Dragon Island.

Of the spiritual herbs and spiritual rice he obtained, he only took 30%, while the rest was distributed among all the spiritual plant growers by Lin Zhongyue.

In Lin Zhongyue's view, Island Master Shen certainly trusted him greatly and entrusted him with all authority.

On the other hand, they didn't pay much attention to the small harvest of spiritual herbs and spiritual rice.

"Island Master Shen has a bright future ahead of him, and he will eventually form his core. Why would he care about such a small amount of spiritual herbs and rice!"

"Having accepted a task from someone, one must be loyal to that person! Island Master Shen has treated me well, so I must do my best to complete the task!"

Xiao Changbing, on the other hand, was truly shocked.

He was a cultivator from a sect, and his eyesight was exceptional.

Limited by his aptitude, after cultivating to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, his qi and blood declined, making it difficult to advance further.

He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the phantom of the dragon.

There is no such technique in the Qingyun Sect!

This is a legendary phenomenon that only occurs after one has achieved mastery of body refinement.

Transforming into a divine dragon likely indicates that one has cultivated a true spiritual form.

It's a true spirit of extremely high rank, like a divine dragon.

"Such a prodigy, living here, I wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Xiao Changbing looked worried.

Having spent so many years in the sect, he had long understood that so-called geniuses could only exist in sect families.

Without any real background and born into a wandering cultivation family, such a prodigy would either join a sect or a prestigious family, attach himself to their ranks, and become a member of that family.

Or, for various reasons, they perish halfway through.

For ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to stand out, realize their talents, break through realms, and climb to the top.

The one who was truly happy for Shen Xuan was Ding Yijin.

"Well done, Shen Xuan!"

Ding Yijin stood outside the cave, peering into the distance.

The evening breeze lifted his gray sideburns.

Back then, Ding Yijin was too eager for quick success. In this life, he only reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing Shen Xuan transform into a divine dragon, Ding Yijin couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.

However, there was more joy than anything else.

A divine dragon, over ten feet long, churned in the sea of ​​clouds, tearing through thunderclouds with its claws and surging with its tail.

The divine light reflected from the dragon scales dyed the entire sea of ​​clouds a deep turquoise.

"Shen Xuan, there's hope for him to reach Core Formation!"

Ding Yijin muttered to himself, his clenched fists trembling slightly.

He could never forget the Qinglong Bay estate that the Ding family had inherited.

Now, the Ding family has produced a Ding Lingchong, who possesses a superior water spirit root and is exceptionally intelligent.

With sufficient resources, Ding Lingchong could cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment!
At the age of thirty-seven, he established a mid-grade Dao foundation!
"If there's a chance, let Chong'er and Shen Xuan meet."

"If Chong'er can gain Shen Xuan's guidance, his path will be bright!"

After Ding Yuyao passed away, Shen Xuan did not remarry.

It is said that he promised Ding Yuyao that he would never marry again in his life.

In Ding Yijin's view, the Ding family was Shen Xuan's wife's family.

This is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what.

Shen Xuanxing, Ding Jiaxing.

Shen Xuan was defeated, and the Ding family was defeated.

The Ding family had long been tied to Shen Xuan.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The four Foundation Establishment cultivators on Flying Dragon Island had different feelings when they sensed the strange phenomenon after Shen Xuan transformed into a divine dragon.

The only one who truly didn't care was Li Ruyi, who had never shown her face.

She was putting all her effort into refining a Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Lamp.

This is the best Netherworld Treasure that Shen Xuan found in the storage bag of the Lone Demon Lord.

Made from the skull of a Golden Elixir Immortal, with a tiny bit of ghost fire inside.

Under the light, the souls of Foundation Establishment cultivators left their bodies, instantly killing them.

It can also capture their souls and refine them into lamp oil for the ghost lamp, which burns day and night.

This Netherworld treasure was obtained by the Lone Demon Lord from an unknown source, and he has never used it.

After Shen Xuan opened the storage bag of the Lone Demon Lord, Li Ruyi, who was standing next to him, immediately took a liking to it.

He asked Shen Xuan for it and refined it into his natal Netherworld Treasure.

Although she has reached the peak of her soul foundation.

However, meditation is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

Condensing a soul core is far more difficult than for spiritual or demonic cultivators.

Its chances of success are even smaller than those of demonic cultivators.

Li Ruyi dared not try it rashly.

First, refine a natal Netherworld Treasure, then slowly hone your own Netherworld Body, Soul Power, Soul Thought, and Soul Consciousness.

They also need to collect soul-condensing spiritual objects and find a way to refine a soul-condensing pill.

She was also Shen Xuan's trump card that he had never revealed to the public.

Shen Xuanruo left the island.

Li Ruyi, on the other hand, had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the island.

……

Shen Xuan returned to his cave dwelling.

In the practice room, I quietly reflect and review what I've learned.

After completing the "Dragon Blood Boiling" technique, you should temporarily put aside the body-refining methods.

In his hand, there was still half a demon dragon core and a dragon's reverse scale.

Completely refining it will also increase the proficiency of [Dragon Blood Boiling] after it reaches perfection.

However, there's no need for that anymore.

It's time to fully advance the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] and the [True Ice Heart Technique].

The best course of action to protect oneself is to condense the golden elixir as soon as possible.

A fake pill flew out of the storage bag.

It was the fake elixir of Master Zhan Yue from the Overlord Blade Sect.

“Even if a True Person from a top-tier sect in the Yan Kingdom is a fake Core Formation True Person, their quality will not be too bad.”

At this moment, Shen Xuan's immortal spiritual root was at a high level of ninety points.

With the added bonuses of numerous talents, his cultivation speed is even faster than that of a sect's Core Formation seed.

"Unfortunately, it's a fake pill with fire attribute. Since spiritual energy is incompatible, its effect will be reduced."

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

If one can obtain the golden core of a water-attribute immortal or the demon core of a third-tier water demon, the cultivation effect will be even better.

"External assistance depends on chance, and it comes and goes; it cannot be forced!"

"The spiritual energy in the training room is abundant, comparable to that of a third-level cultivator. We must not waste it!"

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

He cut off a small piece of the fake elixir, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to refine it with the help of the nine-colored lotus within his body.

……

In just six months.

Shen Xuan has completely taken control of Flying Dragon Island.

Although Xiao Changbing was the acting island lord, he dared not act recklessly.

Following the rules and handling various miscellaneous tasks, I actually found it quite enjoyable.

All matters, large and small, were written into brief reports and submitted to the island lord's residence.

At Shen Xuan's level of cultivation, a mere sweep of his divine sense is enough to read tens of thousands of words of information in a jade slip.

Overall, Lord Shen's reputation spread far and wide.

Because of his benevolent policies, he gained the support of all the cultivators and mortals on Flying Dragon Island.

Ordinary people are exempt from taxes for three years.

Monks will receive a 30% tax reduction, and rents for houses in the market will be reduced by 30%.

The cultivators on Flying Dragon Island all realized that the newly arrived Island Master Shen was an extraordinary figure.

There was absolutely no intention to extract spirit stones from them.

Many monks wrote letters inviting their relatives and friends to settle down there.

Today, Flying Dragon Island is quite famous.

Although located at the very edge of the open sea, it is vulnerable to attacks from sea monsters and water demons.

The allure of a 30% tax reduction and a 70% rent reduction has attracted many cultivators to seek refuge with them.

Especially the spiritual plant husband.

Shen Xuan introduced a regulation that would halve taxes for ten years on the reclamation of abandoned spiritual land.

This attracted many low-level spiritual plant practitioners to come here.

It can be said that, apart from the worry of attacks from sea monsters and water demons, Flying Dragon Island is the most suitable place for cultivators to settle in the nearby seas.

Large-scale attacks by sea monsters usually accompany the arrival of high tides.

Once every fifty or sixty years.
