Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 512 Divine Thunder Tempering the Soul (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan looked at the Hidden Man.

Just now, Master Tianlei seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart.

His words were all for Shen Xuan's sake.

In fact, Shen Xuan and Tian Lei Zhenren belong to different camps.

No matter what Master Tianlei says, Shen Xuan will not believe it.

However, due to his status and position, he couldn't refute it to his face.

The only recourse is to seek help from the Hidden Man.

Master Yinxiang frowned slightly: "Junior Brother Tianlei, since Junior Nephew Shen wants to exchange for this technique, according to the rules of the Transmission Pavilion, it should be done on a first-come, first-served basis."

Master Tianlei smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yinxiang is right. However, we haven't even left the hall to exchange yet."

“My apprentice Lei Yaoxing and Shen Xuan should have applied for the exchange at the same time, without any order of priority.”

The Hidden Man nodded.

Although what Master Tianlei said was somewhat opportunistic, it also made some sense.

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became subtle.

Master Tianlei's gaze fell on Shen Xuan again: "Shen Xuan, do you still insist on exchanging for the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique]?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Lei Yaoxing.

I thought about it for a moment.

He said calmly, "I've thought about it. Senior Uncle Tianlei is absolutely right. This time, I'll let Junior Brother Lei exchange first."

The cultivation techniques that sect disciples exchange for are all rubbings.

Shen Xuan wasn't in a hurry, and there was no need to argue or fight with Tianlei Zhenren over such a trivial matter.

In his view, Lei Yaoxing, although he had the Thunder Spirit Root, had a solid foundation.

However, they may not be able to cultivate the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique].

Since he was willing to take the risk, Shen Xuan naturally wouldn't stop him.

"Master Yinxiang, how long will it take to imprint a copy of the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique]?"

"Three months."

Shen Xuan respectfully handed over his identity jade pendant.

"This disciple is willing to pay sect merits first to reserve the next copy of the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique]."

"Can!"

The Hidden Man took the identity token and deducted 300,000 sect contribution points from it.

It must be said, as expected of a sect's unique skill, it is ridiculously expensive.

A single rubbing is worth the equivalent of one million spirit stones.

You can exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills, which can also yield thirty pills.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan has been refining pills for the sect for the past few years, making significant contributions. He has accumulated over 500,000 sect contribution points, which is more than enough.

Master Yinxiang said, "Lei Yaoxing, bring over your identity jade pendant."

Lei Yaoxing looked at Tianlei Zhenren with a bitter expression.

Clearly, he didn't have that many sect contribution points.

Therefore, it seems that Master Tianlei's attempt to obtain the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique] for him was likely a spur-of-the-moment decision made after hearing rumors.

"Transfer it from me!"

Master Tianlei took out his identity jade pendant.

The Hidden Man said no more, accepted the identity jade pendant from the Heavenly Thunder Man, and completed the transfer.

“Master Yinxiang, I will return to Flying Dragon Island first.”

Shen Xuan transmitted his thoughts: "Master Yinxiang, make a copy of the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique] and have True Person Weichen bring it to Flying Dragon Island along with the sect's medicinal herbs."

The Hidden Man nodded slightly.

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yinxiang Zhenren and Tianlei Zhenren before leaving.

After Shen Xuan left.

Master Yinxiang's face turned angry: "Junior Brother Tianlei, a dignified Golden Core cultivator, why bother to hold a grudge against a junior!"

Master Tianlei felt somewhat ashamed.

Master Yinxiang reallocated the sect's contribution points back to him.

The jade pendant, representing his identity, was tossed into Lei Yaoxing's hand.

"Take good care of your master's identity jade pendant!"

"Cultivate diligently, solidify your foundation, and strive to condense your inner core. Don't listen to your master's nonsense about cultivating the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique]!"

"You're not cut out for this!"

After saying this, Master Yinxiang waved his hand, ignoring Master Tianlei's explanation, and signaled for the guest to be seen out.

With a wry smile, Master Tianlei clasped his hands in a salute and left with Lei Yaoxing.

After leaving the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

Lei Yaoxing asked, "Master, didn't you say you would help me exchange for the [Five Thunder Orthodox Method]?"

"Let's wait a few days. Senior Brother Yinxiang is angry."

Lei Yaoxing remained silent for a while.

Somewhat unwillingly, he asked, "Can Shen Xuan really cultivate the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique]?"

Master Tianlei glared at Lei Yaoxing.

"Focus on your spiritual practice and don't meddle in other people's business!"

"However, this disciple would like to try the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique]. I heard that Master once practiced this technique as well."

"no!"

Master Tianlei resolutely said, "Shen Xuan is exceptionally talented and may succeed in his cultivation. If you go to cultivate, you will face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death; a wise man would not do it!"

……

Shen Xuan did not hear the conversation between Master Tianlei and his disciple.

For him, the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique] was not indispensable.

When practicing this skill, one's soul is tempered by divine lightning, causing extreme pain, as if being torn apart by a thousand knives.

During cultivation, one also needs the assistance of soul-protecting magic treasures or soul-suppressing pills.

If the soul cannot withstand the pressure and loses control, there is a risk of the soul being scattered.

Those who lack willpower are even less capable of practicing this skill.

It's easy to have a mental breakdown.

If it weren't for the consideration of cultivation after Core Formation, Shen Xuan would have given up.

After condensing his golden core, he also needs a cultivation technique for spiritual cultivation.

He had absolute confidence that he could precisely control the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and refine his divine soul.

Continue cultivating this skill until the Golden Core is perfected, and then attempt to condense the Nascent Soul.

Shen Xuan returned to Flying Dragon Island.

He summoned Li Ruyi to discuss the refinement of the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill. This pill was a special third-tier elixir, renowned among Core Formation cultivators, and was one of the top choices for treating soul injuries and enhancing spiritual consciousness; it was priceless and unavailable for purchase.

In her previous life, Li Ruyi had refined this elixir.

The cinnabar is pale purple, with naturally formed cloud-like patterns on its surface, resembling the fluctuations of divine soul.

After the elixir was completed, a purple light emanated from within, accompanied by a refreshing and calming fragrance.

Taking this pill can greatly enhance the origin of one's soul and expand the range and intensity of one's divine sense.

Like the Longevity Pill, the first Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill is the most effective, with subsequent pills showing decreasing effects.

Most cultivators lose the effect after taking three Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pills.

As her cultivation level improved, Li Ruyi recalled most of her memories from her previous life.

The main ingredients of the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill are a thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood, a five-hundred-year-old Purple Soul Flower, Soul-Nourishing Tree Core Powder, Moon Essence Dew, and the last one is a third-tier demon core.

The quality of the demon core determines the effectiveness of the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.

Li Ruyi is now at the peak of her Soul Foundation.

With her current cultivation level, she definitely cannot refine the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.

Even if there is a prescription or a lineage, it won't work.

Moreover, at this time, she only had incomplete prescriptions and an incomplete inheritance.

If Li Ruyi can condense a soul pill and restore all her memories, it might be worth a try.

Clearly, Shen Xuan couldn't wait.

Li Ruyi racked her brains and finally remembered.

The Yan Kingdom had a large merchant alliance called the Tengyun Merchant Alliance.

There is a third-tier alchemist in the Tengyun Business Alliance named Yu Qiuchi, who can refine the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.

However, she switched to meditation, and almost two hundred years had passed since her previous life.

Tengyun Business Alliance is definitely involved.

Whether the old alchemist Yu Qiuchi is still alive is unknown.

Moreover, the states of Yan and Song were at war.

Its scale is gradually expanding.

Although business alliances are generally neutral.

Since the Tengyun Business Alliance is based in the Yan Kingdom, it will inevitably be biased towards the Yan Kingdom to some extent.

There is a certain degree of danger for cultivators from the Song Kingdom to go to the Tengyun Merchant Alliance.

Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi discussed it for a while.

The most important part of the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill is the third-tier demon core.

Shen Xuan possesses the demon cores of the Overturning Sea Flood Dragon and the Mountain-Bearing Dragon Turtle.

Taking one and refining it into a Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill is not out of the question.

The materials include: thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood, five-hundred-year-old purple soul flower, soul-nourishing tree core powder, moon essence dew, and various auxiliary materials.

Although precious.

It is possible to acquire one if one is willing to pay the price.

The Tengyun Merchant Alliance itself prepared a large number of spiritual herbs to provide to alchemists, and shared the profits from alchemy with external parties.

Of course, the price is slightly higher than in the market.

He shares a similar approach with Li Ying'an, the herbalist of the State of Lu.

It's understandable that business alliances pursue profits.

Li Ruyi recalled that even if you only have a third-tier demon core, the Tengyun Merchant Alliance will provide you with all the other main and auxiliary materials.

However, after the pill is completed, the Tengyun Merchant Alliance will demand a considerable reward.

Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi discussed repeatedly and decided to first collect the main and auxiliary materials for the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.

After cultivating to the fourth level of the White Bone Contemplation Inner Vision Method, Shen Xuan condensed the Glazed Treasure Body, which inherently has the effect of strengthening the soul and enhancing the consciousness.

I also exchanged for the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique] from the sect, so I can try out the Soul Tempering effect of the Divine Thunder.

Shen Xuan wrote a secret letter, asking Demon Lord Wanmeng to gather information about Yu Qiuchi, the alchemist of the Yan Kingdom's Tengyun Merchant Alliance, as well as Soul-Gathering Pills and other Soul-Gathering spiritual items.

If Li Ruyi can successfully condense the Soul Core.

Then there's no need to rely on outsiders.

……

half year later.

The summit of Flying Dragon Island.

Shen Xuan set up a small lightning trap here.

It can draw the divine thunder from the sky into a central piece of divine iron containing thunder when thunderclouds gather.

Shen Xuan then drew the essence of divine thunder from the Thunder-Containing Divine Iron into his body, using the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique] to temper his soul.

This method is much safer than directly using one's body to receive the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

It can precisely control the power of divine lightning, allowing it to be input smoothly and reducing the impact on the body and soul.

Today is a perfect day for thunderstorms.

As darkness fell, thunderclouds gathered, and lightning churned within them, radiating a chilling aura of divine might.

Shen Xuan stood beside the Thunder God Iron, controlling the Thunder-Inducing Rocket, and flew towards the thunderstorm cloud at the predetermined speed.

Before long, the celestial crystal golden threads on the lightning-inducing rocket emitted dazzling lightning, transforming into a golden lightning bolt as thick as a child's arm, injecting the power of divine lightning into the lightning-infused divine iron.

This small-scale lightning-attracting array was something Shen Xuan was very familiar with and found no difficulty at all.

The collected divine lightning power is used to temper the soul; not much is needed.

At this moment, the Thunder-Containing Divine Iron transformed from silvery-white to a more dazzling blue-white, containing a terrifying divine thunder power.

Shen Xuan remained calm as he gently placed his hand on the Thunder-Containing Divine Iron.

If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator, such contact with the Thunder-Containing Divine Iron would result in either death or serious injury.

But for Shen Xuan, it was insignificant.

He has achieved perfection in the [Electric Dao Body].

This level of divine lightning power had no effect on him whatsoever.

With a slight thought, Shen Xuan first precisely controlled the raging divine lightning power, sorted and refined it, tamed it, and transformed it into an extremely pure and evenly flowing divine lightning current, which he slowly guided into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The divine lightning bolt entered the sea of ​​consciousness without causing any damage.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged and activated the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique], guiding the divine thunder current to flow into his Purple Mansion and gently seep into his soul.

The extreme pain of being torn to pieces and having one's soul scattered, which one had anticipated, did not occur.

Instead, it has a strange, tingling sensation.

My soul felt as if it were soaking in a hot spring, with countless tiny electric currents gently massaging it, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

Shen Xuan's [Absolute Lightning Dao Body] allows him to precisely control the power of divine lightning.

After activating the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique], the destructive attribute of the divine thunder power introduced into the body was completely stripped away, leaving only the purest "vitality" and "purification" power.
