Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 523 Spirit Sea Condensation Pill (Seeking Further Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan used the barrier-breaking token to break the array restrictions in front of the cave, and Shi Ranran walked in.

"This person has a strong physical body and a solid foundation; there is a good chance that he has condensed a true core."

"Junior Sister Huanhua, what is her true identity?"

After Shen Xuan entered the cave.

Master Qingxu asked in a deep voice.

The Illusionary Flower Immortal opened his mouth.

For a moment, he couldn't answer.

All she knew was that this person must come from a sect.

Last time, I even protected a junior disciple who had just reached the Core Formation stage.

The registered name is Shen Fei, a wandering cultivator.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell it's a pseudonym.

Master Qingxu saw that Master Huanhua could not answer.

Sigh.

He knew this would be the outcome.

"If possible, we can try to recruit him once he has condensed his true core."

"Illusion Flower understands."

"That's what Illusion Flower Master replied."

She also hoped that Shen Xuan could condense his true core and join the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

Thus, the two became Daoist partners, living happily ever after, which was not bad at all.

At least, he's much better than that Hu Shuihui from before.

Huanhua thought to herself.

who knows.

Shen Xuan had just entered the cave.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth above the Frost Valley cave suddenly changed.

Countless spiritual energies, like a surging tide, rapidly gathered, transforming into various magnificent colors, swirling and dancing.

"This……"

Immortal Huanhua couldn't help but show a look of surprise as he looked at Immortal Qingxu.

He has been in charge of Frost Valley for many years and is very experienced.

Unexpectedly, Master Qingxu also looked surprised.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators who have reached the peak of their cultivation need to prepare for a period of time before attempting to break through to Core Formation in the Frost Valley cave.

It can take anywhere from three to five days to ten days or half a month.

Meditate and regulate your breathing to calm your mind and body and bring them to their optimal state.

Hu Shuihui, who had just completed the Core Formation, spent ten days in his cave before officially beginning the Core Condensation process.

"Senior Brother Qingxu, isn't Fellow Daoist Shen being too hasty?"

"Illusory Flower Master asked with concern."

Master Qingxu gazed at the spiritual energy and rosy clouds in the sky and shook his head slightly.

"That's not the case, but rather..."

He pondered for a long while before slowly saying, "It is this person's skill that is extraordinary and rarely seen in the world."

Just one day.

A huge cloud of spiritual energy appeared above the cave, covering several miles, radiating a chilling, azure light.

"what?"

"Another person is attempting to condense their core!"

"This extraordinary phenomenon is truly astonishing!"

"Could it be that this person can condense a true core!"

Within the Myriad Manifestations Sect, several True Immortals from the vicinity flew over one after another.

They arrived at the viewing platform and greeted Master Qingxu and Master Huanhua.

Someone asked Master Huanhua, "Junior Sister Huanhua, this person is extraordinary. Do you know his background?"

The Immortal Flower still stubbornly maintained his stance.

"Of course I know. However, there are other reasons that I cannot disclose to the public."

I made up my mind.

As soon as Shen Xuan came out, they asked him about his background.

Otherwise, she would never have let Shen Xuan off so easily.

Several immortals observed the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, and each of them was astonished.

"This person has a solid foundation, a firm Dao heart, and an extremely strong physical body."

Master Qingxu commented.

He was an expert and could see through the clues at a glance.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person has cultivated an extremely advanced body-refining technique, which is why he possesses such an aura. Junior Sister Huanhua, am I right?"

"Senior Brother Qingxu has great insight! Shen Fei has also cultivated body-refining techniques and is close to the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"I see!"

"Body cultivators who are close to the Dharma Aspect Realm are rare!"

"This is just the beginning; we'll see what happens next. For us cultivators, if we want to condense a true core, we still need to consider the quality of our Dao Foundation and Spiritual Sea."

“Brother Qingxu is right.”

Two days later.

The spiritual energy and rosy clouds in the sky began to expand and spread, quickly covering more than ten miles.

"With such celestial phenomena, the elixir of immortality is within reach!"

Master Qingxu said, a hint of envy on his face.

He knew that this person was no ordinary cultivator.

However, it is a cultivator with a different spiritual root who comprehends ice magic.

If one can condense the Ice Spirit True Pill, one's future path will be limitless.

"A true core, not bad, hmm..."

The person who had just spoken suddenly stopped.

I originally thought it was just an ordinary elixir.

At this moment, the spiritual energy and rosy clouds began to change.

Just for a moment.

It was as if an invisible, extremely cold force was spreading from the spiritual energy and clouds.

All the spiritual energy and rosy clouds were quickly frozen and assimilated, turning into an incomparably thick, azure-green ice mist.

More than that.

The azure ice mist was still slowly rotating, siphoning the spiritual energy from the surrounding dozens of miles.

Inside Frost Valley, the temperature plummeted.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to be summoned and surged wildly towards the sky above the cave.

The vast, azure-green ice mist eventually transformed into countless crystal-clear ice crystals, flowing into the cave like rivers flowing into the sea.

The entire Frost Valley cave presents a magnificent scene.

Countless tiny ice crystals condensed into the purest ice spiritual power, forming a rainbow that connected the icy mist in the sky and the cave.

Such an extraordinary phenomenon of Core Formation left the True Immortals near Frost Valley speechless with astonishment.

"Is this an ice magic cultivator attempting to condense their core?"

"Who is forming their core? They possess such power!"

"This person's inner core grade is not low!"

A series of surprised, shocked, and envious glances were cast into the Frost Valley cave.

Some people also looked towards Huanhua Zhenren.

Although he didn't speak.

The expression on his face clearly asked, "Who is that person?"
……

Inside the Frost Valley cave.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged.

His body emanated a chilling aura of profound ice, surpassing even that of a pseudo-Dan cultivator.

"My goal is the Immortal Golden Core of the Ice Mage!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

At this moment, he was 99% certain that he could condense the Ice Law Immortal Golden Core.

The remaining 0.1% was due to some uncontrollable emergencies. A top-tier second-order killing formation was set up at the entrance of the cave.

Li Ruyi, carrying the Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Lamp, stood vigilantly behind the killing formation.

With her Netherworld Core cultivation level, plus the assistance of the killing formation.

Even if a True Core cultivator were to intrude, they could hold out for a short time.

This was also a hidden move by Shen Xuan.

Always make sure you have a way out.

The initial condensation of the elixir went very smoothly.

After all, Shen Xuan's spiritual power, soul, consciousness, and physical body had all reached their peak.

The first crucial moment in the condensation of the elixir is when the spiritual liquid crystallizes.

He transformed the liquid spiritual energy in his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea into crystals.

This was a piece of cake for Shen Xuan.

The perfected [Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique] transforms the Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea within the body into an iceberg.

The nine-colored lotus quietly blooms, taking root on the iceberg.

Then, Baolian emitted a divine light.

The iceberg of spiritual energy began to slowly compress and shrink.

This is Shen Xuan using the power of the Nine-Colored Lotus to compress the iceberg of spiritual energy.

The Nine-Colored Lotus is a spiritual treasure.

It has remarkable effects on breakthroughs in various realms.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was in a relaxed state.

The spiritual energy iceberg shrank to one-fifth of its original size, taking on the appearance of a solid pill.

This step is crucial.

It places extremely high demands on a cultivator's spiritual power, soul, consciousness, and even physical body.

Most cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage fail at this step.

However, for Shen Xuan, it was an easy task.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside the cave continuously flowed in through the ice crystal rainbow.

Under Shen Xuan's control, the energy entered his body and transformed into streams of refined ice spiritual power, continuously surging into the ice core.

The extent to which a cultivator can absorb and retain spiritual energy depends on a variety of factors.

Spiritual aptitude, the quality of external spiritual energy, the environment of the training ground, and so on.

Among these, a cultivator's spiritual root aptitude is the most important.

Otherwise, no matter how much spiritual energy is poured in from the outside, it cannot be absorbed and retained, and it will dissipate after entering, which is equivalent to a waste of effort.

The higher the spiritual root aptitude, the more refined the spiritual power, and the better the grade of the inner core formed.

One must also possess exceptional spiritual and mental strength to control the changes in the inner core and reduce the risk of its collapse.

Shen Xuan possesses a water-based spiritual root with a value of 90 points, making him a celestial spiritual root.

The spiritual energy flowing into the body from the outside is mostly absorbed and retained to strengthen the Ice Core.

After an unknown amount of time, the vast and boundless Dao Foundation Spirit Sea had been completely transformed into a slowly rotating ice pill.

It was perfectly round and flawless, with a bluish-green glow flowing across its surface, gradually taking shape.

This is the prototype of the inner alchemy.

Ice elemental energy continuously poured into it, strengthening and expanding it.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in relentlessly through the ice crystal rainbow.

The nascent inner core slowly rotated and compressed during its final stage, as if Shen Xuan was meticulously polishing it.

Finally, Shen Xuan stopped.

The rudimentary inner core gradually stabilized and began to resemble a partial core.

The liquefaction crystallization process was successfully completed.

For Shen Xuan, everything went smoothly without any setbacks.

In fact, this step was extremely dangerous.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, their spiritual power, soul, consciousness, and physical body all affect the process of spiritual liquid crystallization.

When infusing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Dao Foundation and the Spiritual Sea are compressed simultaneously. If there is even the slightest deviation, it will fail, the Core Formation will collapse, the backlash will cause serious injury, and it may even endanger life.

Because of this.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators, due to imperfections in some aspect, manage to form a rudimentary inner core, but lack the strength to continue and can only barely condense a false core.

"Looks like I was being too cautious!"

"With my body and the protection of the Nine-Colored Lotus, condensing the Golden Core is a natural outcome."

Shen Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Over the years, he has worked hard and struggled on the brink of life and death several times.

All the effort was worthwhile.

……

Outside the Frost Valley cave.

On the viewing platform, several Wanxiang Sect masters had different expressions.

Among them, it was Huanhua Zhenren, whose pretty face was the most captivating.

One moment I'm worried, the next I'm overjoyed, then I feel self-pity, then I yearn...

Clearly, her emotions were in turmoil.

Master Qingxu, however, had a solemn expression.

He had never seen such a magnificent formation of the Golden Core stage before.

I have seen it in cultivation classics.

The ice crystal rainbow above the cave has never stopped.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within dozens of miles was all absorbed here.

"Such power, could it be more than just a True Core?"

"Is it possible to condense a golden core?"

Master Qingxu was startled by his own guess.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

A cultivator who can condense a golden core is a genius among geniuses, no matter which sect they belong to.

We will absolutely not let it wander outside.

Take the Myriad Manifestations Sect as an example.

Among the nine sects of Lu State, there are only four Golden Core cultivators.

The last person to condense a golden core was two hundred years ago, Hu Shuihui's master, True Man Lingyuan.

The commotion surrounding the Core Formation was so great that True Immortals from the Myriad Manifestations Sect arrived one after another.

"Senior Brother Lingyuan, you've come too!"

A slender, otherworldly-looking, water-based Golden Core cultivator drifted in.

"Senior Brother Lingyuan."

Master Qingxu quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

Who has formed their golden core here?

Master Qingxu looked at Master Huanhua.

"She's a friend of Junior Sister Huanhua. And that warrant..."

Master Qingxu did not continue.

Only then did Master Lingyuan remember.

"Junior Sister Huanhua, you took my token so that this person could help you achieve Core Formation?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Lingyuan."

"Hmm, who is he?"

"This……"

The Illusionary Flower Master was secretly furious.

This jerk caused such a commotion, yet he didn't tell her his true identity sooner.

It made her look bad in front of all her fellow disciples.

Fortunately, Master Lingyuan noticed her embarrassment and did not press her for details.

"Never mind. It'll only be a few days. He'll come out and report back home."

After hesitating for a moment, Master Huanhua finally asked, "Senior Brother Lingyuan, is this person truly going to form a true core?"
