Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 528 The Two Beauties of Qingyang (Seeking Subscriptions)

At this time, in the core area of ​​the Zhou family's territory.

The patriarch's residence.

"Is the State of Song really going to lose?"

"The demonic cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect of Liang Kingdom, led by that vile woman Wu Yulan, are eyeing my Zhou family of Ten Thousand Beasts Valley with covetous intent. A battle is inevitable sooner or later!" Wu Yulan's demonic foundation is at its peak, and she may break through to the demonic core at any time.

This put Zhou Bailian under even more pressure.

"The Qingyun Sect not only failed to provide manpower, but also withdrew its elites, leaving only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people."

Zhou Bailian looked at the intelligence jade slip, a look of worry on her face.

"I'm also 130 years old, more than halfway through my lifespan!"

She looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat sentimental.

The late stage of Foundation Establishment was the limit of her cultivation realm.

Afterwards, as the body's vital energy and blood decline, the spiritual sea of ​​one's foundation will slowly shrink.

"I wonder how that person is doing now!"

At that moment, someone flew in at lightning speed.

"Master, it's a joyous occasion, a great joy!"

The Zhou family's Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the mountain called out hurriedly.

"What happy event?"

Zhou Bailian asked.

"Master, your old friend Shen Xuan has arrived!"

"he came?"

Zhou Bailian suppressed the violent pounding of her heart.

"Is it really Shen Xuan?"

"It is Master Shen."

Only then did the Zhou family member, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, calm down and respectfully speak.

"Master Shen? You mean, he's reached the Core Formation stage?"

"Yes."

Zhou Bailian could no longer hide her joy.

"Let's go, let's go meet him!"

I had only taken two steps when I suddenly remembered something.

"Seventh Uncle, go and inform Father, Grandfather, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan to go and welcome them together."

Zhou Jiazhu nodded.

"That's how it should be, I'll go now."

After the Zhou family members finished their foundation building and left quickly.

Zhou Bailian returned to the mansion, went into the bedroom, and changed her clothes.

Dressed in a white gown, she radiated a gentle glow, like a fairy maiden stepping out of a painting, radiant and beautiful.

That was how she dressed when she first met Shen Xuan.

However, time has still left some marks on her pretty face.

"I'm getting old after all!"

Zhou Bailian sighed softly.

Then, she applied a little makeup, which made her look younger.

The unusual gathering of the Zhou family elders attracted the attention of the clan members.

"What major event has occurred?"

"We just received news that we have distinguished guests visiting the Zhou family!"

"What distinguished guest?"

"An old friend of the patriarch. A Core Formation True Person from the Qingyun Sect!"

"Ah! Which real person is it?"

"Shen Xuan, the True Man Shen."

"Among the twenty True Persons of Qingyun Sect, it seems that Shen Xuan is not one of them."

"The newly promoted Core Formation cultivators haven't spread their knowledge yet."

"In that case, our Zhou family from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts will also have connections within the Azure Cloud Sect?"

"Hehe, you're still young. You'll understand later. It's not just about connections. That Master Shen and our patriarch..."

With a "smack," a slap landed on the head of the Zhou family cultivator who had spoken.

"Don't talk nonsense. If Master Shen hears this, you'll ruin the entire Zhou family!"

"Yes, I won't tell, I won't tell!"

……

The Zhou family's land.

The door opens.

Zhou Bailian led a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators from her clan to greet them in a line.

The Zhou family patriarch, the previous patriarch Zhou Jinxing, was prominently listed among them.

Zhou Bailian said in a deep voice, "Zhou Bailian, on behalf of the Zhou family of Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, congratulates True Person Shen on achieving the True Core."

Behind them, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhou family spoke up at the same time.

"The Zhou family of Ten Thousand Beasts Valley congratulates True Immortal Shen on achieving the True Core!"

The sound resounded throughout the world.

Such an imposing presence could be heard even by the hidden agents planted near the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Shen Xuan smiled, a smile that seemed to say he was both amused and exasperated.

He is not a real elixir.

He is a Golden Core cultivator.

Although both are third-tier True Persons, their identities and strengths are completely different.

However, the Zhou family cultivators had limited knowledge.

Shen Xuan's ability to condense a true core has exceeded their expectations.

In fact, among the entire Zhou family, only Zhou Bailian was qualified to reminisce with Shen Xuan.

"Alright. No need for formalities!"

Shen Xuan waved gently.

A pure burst of Dan Yuan power forcibly prevented the dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhou family from bowing.

He said gently, "I was passing by and had some trinkets that I don't really need, so I'm giving them to Zhou Bailian."

After saying that, Shen Xuan made a thought.

All three golden-bodied corpse beasts appeared before him.

Second-tier superior Iron-Mouthed Crocodile, second-tier superior Thunder Beast, second-tier mid-grade Shadow Octopus.

There was also a corpse beast, a second-tier top-grade two-headed dragon snake, which was still somewhat useful, so Shen Xuan kept it.

despite this.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhou family were all deeply moved when they saw Shen Xuan present such a precious golden corpse beast to everyone.

However, what Shen Xuan just said was a gift for Zhou Bailian alone, not for the Zhou family.

For a moment, Zhou Bailian was stunned, feeling both surprised and delighted, not knowing what to do.

The Zhou family patriarch remained composed, stepping forward and bowing with clasped hands: "Zhou Xingyi greets True Man Shen."

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, there's no need for such formalities."

"I humbly invite Master Shen to the valley for a chat. The Zhou family has prepared a small feast to welcome Master Shen."

Shen Xuan glanced at the Zhou family patriarch, whose lifespan was running out and whose face was full of wrinkles.

Finally, she nodded slightly, giving him that face.

……

Accompanied by the Zhou family patriarch, Zhou Bailian, and others, Shen Xuan entered the Zhou family's territory.

In a VIP box, Shen Xuan sat at the head of the banquet.

Beside him were only the Zhou family patriarch, Zhou Jinxing, Zhou Bailian, and two senior Zhou family members who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

This was Shen Xuan's wish; he didn't want too many people accompanying him.

In fact, given his current status and position, his mere presence in the Zhou family was already a great honor for them.

All cultivation forces that are eyeing the Zhou family should seriously consider the relationship between Shen Xuan and the Zhou family.

Behind the Zhou family is a remarkable sect master.

The atmosphere at the banquet was somber.

Apart from the Zhou family patriarch, no one spoke casually.

Even Zhou Bailian was somewhat reserved.

Shen Xuan drank a few cups of spirit wine and then ended the banquet.

It means to casually stroll around the Zhou family's territory.

The Zhou family patriarch wisely left.

Shen Xuan then focused his attention on Zhou Bailian.

Forty years later, Zhou Bailian broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Before my eyes, her clothes and attire seemed just like when we first met.

But her temperament and appearance had inevitably changed a lot. "White Lotus, is White Lotus Residence still there?"

"Yes. Shall Master Shen go and take a look?"

"There's no need for that. Since there are no outsiders, Bai Lian can just call me Shen Xuan."

The two left the banquet one after the other and headed towards Bailian Residence.

Bailianju was Zhou Bailian's former boudoir.

That night, Shen Xuan stayed overnight at Bailian Residence.

The bright jewels shone dimly.

Shen Xuan lay on the soft bed, and Zhou Bailian lay in his arms.

At this moment, the most powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator in Qingyang Prefecture, the head of the Zhou family of Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, blushed like a little girl, her jade-like face filled with shyness.

They did nothing.

At first, Zhou Bailian tried a few times.

Seeing that Shen Xuan really didn't have that intention, she stopped her teasing behavior.

The two chatted casually, reminiscing about the past and discussing the current situation.

"Wu Yulan, she hasn't formed her demon core yet?"

Back then, Shen Xuan killed two demonic cultivators from Qingyang Prefecture, but missed Wu Yulan.

It was originally thought that He Zhengming and others from the Qingyun Sect would take down the Wu family of Chiyanlin in one fell swoop and kill this person.

Surprisingly, he never died.

He has now become the leader of the demonic cultivators in Qingyang Prefecture.

“She is a formation master, so it’s not so easy for her to condense a demon core. However, as far as Bai Lian knows, she is ready and can condense it at any time.”

Zhou Bailian sighed.

For her, becoming a Core Formation Demon Lord brought even greater pressure.

Even with the three golden-bodied corpse beasts gifted by Shen Xuan, they couldn't withstand the Core Formation Demon Lord.

"It's alright. Even if Wu Yulan forms her core, she'll only be a pseudo-core demon lord."

Shen Xuan took out a Divine Thunder Talisman.

This divine thunder talisman was made from a low-grade thunder talisman, only a mid-grade second rank.

At this point, it was almost useless to him.

He plans to cultivate a high-grade thunder talisman and nurture it anew.

"This is the Divine Thunder Talisman that I have nurtured for thirty years, which is enough to injure the False Core Demon Lord."

"Ah, thank you so much, Shen Lang!"

Zhou Bailian was overjoyed.

"In the future, I may leave the State of Song."

Zhou Bailian's face darkened.

She was sensible enough not to ask any further questions.

Shen Xuan said softly, "Don't worry about Wu Yulan. It's best for you and her to maintain an even balance of power."

"She's a smart woman, she'll understand."

Zhou Bailian finally understood.

"Shen Lang, are you saying that she deliberately didn't form her core?"

"The Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect is waiting. Wu Yulan is waiting, and you can only wait too."

Shen Xuan pointed out the key to the current situation.

"Qingyang Prefecture, being a border prefecture, is irrelevant to the overall situation. The real issue is the war situation between Yan and Song."

"Then, will the Song Kingdom be defeated?"

Shen Xuan fell silent.

After a long silence, he finally said quietly, "I don't know. So, I will leave the State of Song."

As the war progressed, even Golden Elixir Immortals had to participate.

Shen Xuan has just been promoted.

Even a Golden Core cultivator specializing in Ice Magic cannot guarantee victory against a veteran Golden Core cultivator.

Especially the Golden Core cultivators of major sects, who are exceptionally gifted and possess unique supernatural abilities, which are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

Before the actual battle, no one dares to say that victory is assured.

Moreover, even if they win, they may still be injured.

Damage to the Golden Core will affect one's future path to enlightenment and increase the difficulty of condensing the Nascent Soul.

"Don't overthink it. If the situation worsens and things become unmanageable, prioritize your own safety."

Shen Xuan said comfortingly.

I will make a trip to see Wu Yulan.

Shen Xuan and Zhou Bailian are not exactly a good match.

However, the two had been together for so long.

Shen Xuan had some feelings for her.

Before leaving, I helped her out and put an end to our relationship.

I just want peace of mind and to solidify my resolve on the path.

This time, when the two met, their hearts were as clear as a mirror.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be the last time the two meet.

In the future, all that will remain is nostalgia.

All the old friends of the Song Dynasty have entered my dreams; the events of a hundred years ago are like the wind.

The next morning.

Shen Xuan left without saying goodbye.

Zhou Bailian stared blankly in the direction where Shen Xuan had disappeared.

My emotions are complicated.

"From now on, we can only meet in our dreams."

Zhou Bailian sighed.

"To meet Shen Lang in this life, Heaven has finally been kind to Bai Lian."

She knew Shen Xuan very well and knew that his Dao heart was firm.

He was single-mindedly devoted to cultivation, only wanting to achieve immortality and attain enlightenment.

Today we part ways, and there will be no more meetings.

Not to mention the Zhou family of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts in Qingyang Prefecture.

Even the Qingyun Sect, one of the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom, could not keep him.

……

Chiyan Linwu family.

Wu Yulan was startled by a series of sounds of breaking through the formation.

The outer layers of killing formations were all broken through directly.

A middle-aged scholar in a green robe walked straight toward the Wu family compound, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.

Along the way, all the killing formations and illusions were shattered and destroyed.

"A Core Formation True Person!"

Wu Yulan took a deep breath, deeply moved.

Then look at the person's appearance.

Wu Yulan was nearly scared out of her wits.

She gritted her teeth, stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Is it Master Shen Xuan who has come in person?"

"Wu Yulan, you still recognize me, that's good."

Shen Xuan chuckled softly.

"I dare not. I will always remember Master Shen's demeanor and never forget him."

Wu Yulan said respectfully.

Neither the Song nor the Liang states declared war.

According to the regulations between the two countries, a Core Formation Realm cultivator should not act rashly.

Shen Xuan had no intention of killing Wu Yulan.

That would not help.

Even without Wu Yulan, there are other demonic cultivators who will come to Qingyang Prefecture to oversee things.

His purpose in coming here was merely to warn Wu Yulan.

This can be seen as supporting Zhou Bailian.

"Seventy years ago, I came to Qingyang Prefecture and had long heard of the great names of the two beauties of Qingyang."

"To see the two beauties of Qingyang again today is truly a joyous occasion!"

After saying that, Shen Xuan turned and left without saying anything more.

Wu Yulan is a smart person.

Some things don't need to be said too explicitly.

"Yulan respectfully bids farewell to Master Shen!"

Wu Yulan bowed in greeting from behind.
