Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 522 Core Formation Training Ground (Seeking Subscriptions)

Lu State, Tengguan Immortal City.

This is a celestial city under the jurisdiction of the Wanxiang Sect of the State of Lu.

A mansion located in the core area of ​​the Immortal City, adjacent to the City Lord's Mansion.

The bathroom was filled with steam and a warm fragrance.

Having just finished dealing with the affairs of the immortal city under his jurisdiction, Immortal Huanhua was lazily soaking in a bath filled with spiritual flower petals.

The rippling water reflected her exquisite, fair, and captivating figure.

The warm spring water washes away all fatigue.

Immortal Huanhua closed her eyes to rest, enjoying the spiritual waters of the hot spring, reminiscing about the strong cultivator who left her with unforgettable memories.

In a void within the bathroom, a slight ripple suddenly appeared, and a transparent figure silently slipped in.

Young, handsome, and refined, it was Shen Xuan.

He saw the Illusionary Flower Immortal with his eyes closed, completely naked, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Then, they quietly approached.

When Huanhua Zhenren realized what was happening, Shen Xuan was only a few feet away from her.

She was shocked: "Who is it?!"

Shen Xuan revealed himself: "It's me, Shen Fei."

Upon seeing Shen Xuan's face clearly, Huanhua Zhenren instantly relaxed, revealing a hint of surprise and coquettishness.

"You rascal, what brings you here!"

The beautiful eyes of the real-life beauty, Huanhua, flickered, seemingly both pleased and annoyed.

Instead of covering her body, she deliberately stretched out, revealing her alluring curves, and water droplets dripped from her smooth skin.

"Shen Fei, your ability to hide and conceal yourself is getting more and more impressive. It's terrifying!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly, walked to the edge of the bath, and brushed his fingers across the water, creating a ripple.

"I have even more amazing skills, Huanhua, would you like to experience them?"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

Huanhua Zhenren glared at him, then reached out her slender hand and gently embraced Shen Xuan's neck.

"Let Huanhua see just how powerful Shen Lang has become in the past few years!"

Her voice was soft and captivating.

The Illusory Flower Immortal suddenly stood up, her graceful figure and snow-white skin a sight to behold.

A sweet aroma filled the air.

……

The next day.

After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Huanhua Zhenren curled up lazily on the soft bed.

His body was covered in red, purple, and blue bruises.

The intense battle last night left her exhausted.

She repeatedly woke up from her dazed state, begging for mercy.

They even used indescribable techniques.

This finally satisfied Shen Xuan, and he let her go.

"That rascal!"

Huanhua Zhenren opened her eyes wearily.

Beside him, Shen Xuan closed his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Shen Lang, is there something important you need to do this time?"

Shen Xuan gently stroked Huanhua Zhenren's pretty face and said with a smile, "I need a third-tier spiritual land for my inner core condensation. An ice-attribute spiritual vein would be even better. Does the Myriad Manifestations Sect have a suitable spiritual land?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Huanhua Zhenren's eyes: "You want to condense your inner core? So quickly!"

"Where is the speed!"

Shen Xuan turned over and hugged Huanhua Zhenren tightly.

"Let's do it again!"

"No! The important matter is more important!"

After a moment of contemplation, Huanhua Zhenren's beautiful eyes lit up. "There is a Frost Valley within the sect, built on a ten-thousand-year-old ice vein. It is the preferred place for disciples of ice and water magic to form their cores."

"The valley is extremely cold, which can help cultivators better condense their inner energy, especially for ice magic cultivators."

"Frost Valley..."

After a moment's thought, Shen Xuan asked, "Can outside cultivators form their core in Frost Valley?"

"It's hard."

Master Huanhua shook his head and said, "It requires a considerable amount of sect merit, and also the guarantee of a Golden Core cultivator within the sect. However..."

She smiled slyly, leaned close to Shen Xuan's ear, and breathed softly, "Huanhua has some influence within the sect; perhaps she can find a way to secure a spot for you."

"But how will you thank me?"

Shen Xuan looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms and revealed a malicious smile: "I'll thank you properly now."

After saying that, he reached out and slid his claws toward the sensitive area.

"My darling, that's not what Huanhua meant!"

"do not want!"

Shen Xuan chuckled lightly, but his voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Don't make a sound, be good, I want to try..."

The voice became lower and lower.

Huanhua Zhenren blushed and obediently did as she was told.

Her delicate body struck a seductive pose.

The bedroom was filled with the warmth of spring.

……

Frost Valley is located within the Myriad Manifestations Sect and is managed by a True Person named Qingxu.

Qingxu Zhenren is the Water Method True Elixir True Person of the Wanxiang Sect. He is ranked among the sixteen True Persons of the Wanxiang Sect and holds a high position.

Beneath the Frost Valley lies a third-tier water spirit vein, perpetually frozen into ice.

Frost Valley is generally not open to the public.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything.

If someone can afford the high rent for the dojo and has connections with high-ranking members of the sect, they might be given a special chance.

Shen Xuan gave her a Divine Thunder Talisman.

After thirty years of nurturing, it is enough to kill a fake elixir cultivator.

Upon receiving it, Huanhua Zhenren was overjoyed.

This is a trump card for protecting your path.

Shen Xuan was willing to give it all up, which shows he was extremely sincere towards her.

Huanhua Zhenren used his personal connections to obtain a warrant from a Jindan Zhenren of the Wanxiang Sect.

It cost a lot of sect contribution points.

Only then did they obtain permission to bring Shen Xuan to Frost Valley.

At this moment, strange phenomena appeared in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth above Frost Valley.

Someone is attempting to reach the Core Formation stage.

After Huanhua Zhenren and Shen Xuan entered, they met Qingxu Zhenren under the guidance of the sect's steward.

"Senior Brother Qingxu, this is Huanhua's friend, the rogue cultivator Shen Fei."

Huanhua Zhenren produced the token of Jindan Zhenren.

After verifying it, Master Qingxu nodded slightly and put it away.

“Junior Sister Huanhua, as long as it complies with the sect’s rules, I have no problem with it.”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingxu."

The Illusionary Flower Immortal smiled and bowed respectfully.

Master Qingxu sized up Shen Xuan.

At this moment, Shen Xuan no longer concealed his aura.

After scanning with his divine sense, Master Qingxu was secretly alarmed.

"Shen Fei, I observe that your foundation is solid and your physical body is extraordinary. Why do you insist on coming here to attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage?"

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in greeting: "I, Shen, have met Master Qingxu. Thank you for your kindness, Master Qingxu!"

"Shen is a water-based cultivator who has comprehended ice magic through water magic."

Master Qingxu showed a slight look of surprise.

"So, you're an ice magic cultivator?" Shen Xuan nodded slowly.

"An ice mage!"

Master Qingxu's attitude has clearly improved.

At any time, a True Immortal of Ice Magic is someone worth befriending.

Although Shen Xuan is not yet.

But this possibility is not small.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, let's go to the observation deck together. We can learn from others' experiences!"

"Since Master Qingxu has invited me, how could I, Shen, dare to refuse!"

The two smiled at each other.

Shen Xuan readily accepted Qingxu Zhenren's kindness.

The three arrived at the observation deck.

Above a cave dwelling, spiritual energy and rosy clouds began to gather.

Master Huanhua asked, "Senior Brother Qingxu, who is attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage?"

"Hu Shuihui, a direct disciple of Master Lingyuan."

"It's him. He's exceptionally talented, comes from the Hu family of the sect, and is a disciple of True Person Lingyuan. He should have no problem breaking through to the Core Formation stage this time."

"Illusory Flower Master said quietly."

For some reason, Shen Xuan faintly sensed a hint of bitterness.

"The matter of Core Formation cannot be easily decided."

The Pure Void Immortal gazed at the celestial phenomena in the distance.

"However, judging from these unusual celestial phenomena, there is a 70% chance that I will achieve the Core Formation."

"Only seven points!"

Huanhua Zhenren muttered something to himself.

A few days later.

The spiritual energy clouds above the cave, which had covered several miles, stopped expanding and began to stabilize.

Master Qingxu sighed deeply.

"With such momentum, forming the Core Formation shouldn't be difficult, but..."

Master Qingxu did not continue.

For a disciple of a prestigious sect like Hu Shuihui, merely condensing a false core is only barely satisfactory.

The beautiful Huanhua Zhenren gazed thoughtfully at the ethereal clouds in the sky.

Seeing Shen Xuan sitting calmly with his eyes closed, she felt better and sat down next to him without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Senior Brother Qingxu said you show signs of having attained the True Core stage. How confident are you?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Huanhua Zhenren and said modestly, "Qingxu Zhenren is kind-hearted and encourages younger generations. How could I take that seriously!"

The Ice-type True Core Realm cultivator possesses combat power comparable to a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

In the State of Lu, one would be respected and recruited regardless of which sect one belonged to.

"Ignore the illusion! I'm taking the illusion seriously!"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, if you truly condense a True Core, how will you thank Huanhua?"

When she saw Shen Xuan reveal an indescribable smile.

Immortal Huanhua quickly shouted, "Don't think nonsense! We want a real gift of gold and silver!"

Thinking of the torment Shen Xuan had caused her, Huanhua Zhenren felt both ashamed and angry.

It has to be said that the feeling of dying and coming back to life, of being on cloud nine, was so intense that she longed for it.

However, the thought of Shen Xuan using her as a mount to ride and control her made her ears turn red.

Shen Xuan said seriously, "We'll talk about it later. Huan Hua, I'm about to form my core, don't disturb my peace of mind."

"Oh well."

"Illusory Flower Immortal said obediently."

Regardless of the circumstances, Shen Xuan's attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage is of paramount importance.

Any reward will depend on the outcome of Shen Xuan's Core Formation.

If what Shen Xuan condensed was merely a fake core.

Even a fake Core Formation cultivator using Ice Magic is nothing special.

A few more days passed.

The ethereal clouds in the sky have completely stabilized.

It is only a few miles in size.

Master Qingxu sighed deeply.

Clearly, such natural phenomena are insufficient for the creation of the true elixir.

A few days later.

Hu Shuihui's journey to Core Formation is drawing to a close.

The spiritual energy and rosy clouds above the cave began to dissipate.

The surrounding spiritual energy gradually returned to normal.

A powerful aura permeated the cave.

Having just formed his core and with his cultivation level not yet stable, Hu Shuihui was not yet able to fully control the outward release of his spiritual energy.

Soon after, a handsome and noble disciple of a sect emerged from the cave.

It was Hu Shuihui, who had just successfully formed his core.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Hu, on your successful Core Formation!"

"Illusory Flower Immortal said with a charming laugh."

Hu Shuihui's expression froze.

"Huanhua, what are you doing here?"

His gaze quickly fell on Shen Xuan.

"Who is this?"

"I am Shen Fei, a rogue cultivator. Greetings, Master Hu."

Shen Xuan bowed respectfully.

Hu Shuihui returned the greeting with clasped hands.

As a scion of a powerful sect or aristocratic family, he still possesses this much composure.

Across from him, Master Qingxu said calmly, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Hu, on successfully forming your core."

His tone was calm, without any joy or surprise.

Hu Shuihui gave a wry smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingxu."

He glanced at the three people present.

"I have just formed my core and need to go back to consolidate my cultivation. Senior Brother Qingxu, Junior Sister Huanhua, Fellow Daoist Shen, I will take my leave now. Goodbye."

Shen Xuan noticed Hu Shuihui's disappointment.

Born into a prestigious sect, he possessed exceptional talent, studied under a renowned master, and was handsome.

They have high expectations for themselves.

The result was merely the formation of a false elixir.

The path is cut off, and achievements are limited.

For disciples of sects and aristocratic families, with sufficient resources for cultivation, condensing a pseudo-core is not a difficult task.

The real difficulty lies in obtaining the true elixir.

The two are incomparable in terms of status and position.

Huanhua Zhenren was clearly gloating.

Although not much was revealed.

Master Qingxu took out a token that broke the prohibition and handed it to two sect deacons, instructing them to enter the cave and tidy up.

Soon after, a sect leader came out to report.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, the cave has been cleaned up. You can enter the cave now to attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage."

Master Qingxu said in a deep voice.

He handed the sign that broke the ban to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan accepted the gift with both hands, bowed, and strode confidently toward the cave.

Behind them came the voice of the Illusionary Flower Immortal.

"Shen Fei, you will definitely be able to condense a true core!"
