Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 529 Golden Core Returns to its Source (Seeking Subscriptions)

After more than a hundred breaths.

After Shen Xuan was far away.

Wu Yulan, who had been bowing the whole time, slowly stood up.

Behind him, a demonic cultivator from the Blood Spirit Sect asked, "Saintess Jade Orchid, who is this person? Their aura is so strong!"

A smile appeared on Wu Yulan's lips.

"This is Shen Xuan, a former friend of Yulan."

"It's him!"

Behind him, several Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators all changed color.

Back then, Shen Xuan killed thousands of demonic cultivators in one go during the battle between Dao and Demon.

Even Yuwen Jun from the Yuwen family was killed directly.

It is said that at that time, the Demon Lord Yuwen appeared in his demonic form and begged Shen Xuan to spare his offspring.

Shen Xuan showed no mercy whatsoever.

His name was practically a demonic presence within the Blood Spirit Sect of Liang Kingdom.

"Has this person condensed a true core?"

"True elixir?"

Wu Yulan gave a charming laugh.

"If Yulan is not mistaken, Master Shen should be a Golden Core cultivator."

"Jindan Zhenren!"

The Foundation Establishment demon cultivators all gasped in shock.

Back then, Shen Xuan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he slaughtered countless demonic cultivators from Qingyang Prefecture.

Now, the golden elixir has been condensed.

This made the demonic cultivators uneasy.

One of the demonic cultivators rolled his eyes.

"Congratulations to Saintess Yulan! Your old friend has condensed the Golden Core. With such an old friend by your side, Saintess Yulan will surely condense the Golden Core and become a Demon Lord!"

The other demonic cultivators seemed to awaken from a dream.

This Shen Xuan is said to have a close relationship with Zhou Bailian of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Unexpectedly, he also had a connection with Wu Yulan.

Considering the previous war between the Dao and the Demon, of the three major demonic cultivators in Qingyang Prefecture, only Wu Yulan remains.

Just now, Shen Xuan came to visit Wu Yulan and broke through the formation to leave.

All the demonic cultivators bowed in respect.

"Congratulations, Saintess Magnolia, on the formation of your golden elixir!"

For a moment, everyone was in high spirits, as if they had all become acquainted with Shen Xuan, the Golden Core cultivator of the Qingyun Sect.

……

On Flying Dragon Island, the sea breeze remains unchanged.

Shen Xuan's figure quietly appeared in front of the island lord's cave. His aura was restrained, and he was still in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, the news that he had achieved Core Formation in Lu eventually reached the ears of the Qingyun Sect's higher-ups.

"Senior Brother Shen, a secret message has arrived from Lu State, saying that you have successfully formed your core?"

"My master ordered me to bring Senior Brother Shen back to Cold Jade Peak."

A cool and aloof figure was already waiting outside the island lord's cave; it was none other than Junior Sister Liu Bingyu.

She curiously observed the increasingly younger Senior Brother Shen, her clear eyes filled with questions.

With Shen Xuan's current perfect-level [Thousand Transformations] skill, Liu Bingyu was completely unaware of his true cultivation level.

However, Shen Xuan's demeanor was more composed.

The master received further confirmation.

Senior Brother Shen has now at least condensed a true core.

Otherwise, the State of Lu would not have risked exposing their identities by sending a secret message.

Liu Bingyu even released a wisp of her divine sense, repeatedly scanning Shen Xuan from top to bottom.

"what!"

Only then did she realize that although Shen Xuan's aura was from the same source as hers, there were subtle differences.

Unfathomable, as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.

A hint of undisguised surprise appeared on Liu Bingyu's pretty face.

"Great, Senior Brother Shen, you can't fool me!"

She stepped forward, her voice clear and bright, tinged with joy: "Your [True Ice Heart Technique] has reached its peak, hasn't it?"

"You have condensed the True Core of Ice Magic!"

"Senior Brother Shen, come back to the sect with me quickly!"

"Master will be happy to see that you have formed your core."

"Ah, if it were a Golden Core, that would be even better!"

However, Liu Bingyu was just saying it.

She subconsciously believed that Shen Xuan was a true cultivator.

In a hundred years, the Qingyun Sect produces only one Golden Core cultivator.

As for the Ice Magic Golden Core, the last one was a thousand years ago.

The difference in combat power between Golden Core and True Core cultivators is obvious.

Generally speaking, it takes three True Pills to withstand one Golden Pill.

This is still in the early stages of Core Formation.

The gap widens as you progress.

The status of Golden Core and True Core cultivators within a sect is completely different.

Moreover, generally speaking, only those who achieve the Golden Core stage have the potential to condense a Nascent Soul.

For ordinary True Core cultivators, the chances of condensing a Nascent Soul are extremely slim.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan remained calm and composed, saying indifferently, "I will hand over the affairs on the island and then return to the sect."

He did not mention the Golden Elixir directly.

Liu Bingyu was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his true cultivation level could not be seen through.

Next, Shen Xuan and Xiao Changbing discussed matters related to Flying Dragon Island.

Afterwards, he packed up the spirit beasts and plants in the cave, and together with Su Xue'er, Ding Yijin, Ding Mingyue, Shangguan Qingfeng and others, returned to Qingyun Immortal City.

The group rested at the Shen residence for a day.

Shen Xuan bestowed two Foundation Establishment Pills upon Ding Yijin, Ding Mingyue, and Shangguan Qingfeng.

He exchanged some low-level spiritual items and distributed them to his nominal offspring.

Afterwards, he took Su Xue'er and Liu Bingyu back to the Qingyun Sect.

……

The mountain gate of Qingyun Sect is shrouded in celestial mist, and spirit birds sing softly.

A spaceship came to a stop.

Shen Xuan, Su Xueer, and Liu Bingyu stepped from the flying boat into the white jade square in front of the mountain gate.

A figure, radiating a cold aura, rushed over; it was none other than Junior Sister Fang Huixue.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Liu! You're finally back!"

Fang Huixue's pretty face was full of joy, and her voice was as clear as a bell.

As she spoke, she sent a communication talisman into the sect.

The communication talisman, shimmering with a blue light, transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Cold Jade Peak. The Foundation Establishment disciples guarding the mountain, upon hearing Fang Huixue call out "Senior Brother" and seeing the handsome young Shen Xuan, paled and bowed deeply, saying, "Welcome back to the sect, True Person Shen!"

One of the more experienced disciples immediately took out a communication talisman and informed the sect's master.

Shen Xuan nodded slightly to the disciples guarding the mountain, then calmly walked to the "Return to the Sect Record" to the side. Using his finger as a pen, he lightly exhaled spiritual energy and left his name and a trace of spiritual energy on it.

A brilliant light flashed across the jade scroll, clearly recording his Ice Technique Golden Core spiritual power.

Shen Xuan has just finished registering.

A sound broke through the air.

Several beams of light, imbued with powerful spiritual pressure, hurtled towards them like shooting stars.

The light faded, revealing the figures of several sect masters.

The leader was none other than the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, the Mysterious Master.

Beside him stood Lingxiao Zhenren, whose expression was complex.

Shen Xuan's master, Han Yu Zhenren, arrived almost simultaneously.

"Disciple Shen Xuan greets Master."

This time, Shen Xuan bypassed the Sect Master Mizong Zhenren and bowed to Hanyu Zhenren first.

The etiquette cannot be discarded.

After achieving the Golden Core stage, he could address the Lost Immortal and others as his senior brothers.

But Master Hanyu was always his master.

Master Hanyu looked at Shen Xuan, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Soon after, True Man Tianfeng, True Man Tianlei, True Man Tongxuan, True Man Chongxu, True Man Yuyang, True Man Changchun, and others arrived one after another.

In an instant, ten True Persons gathered at the usually solemn and dignified Qingyun Sect mountain gate.

The overwhelming pressure from the real person caused the Foundation Establishment disciples, Liu Bingyu, and Fang Huixue around them to breathe rapidly and bow their heads in respect.

At this moment, the area in front of the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate became increasingly lively.

Upon receiving the news, disciples of the Qingyun Sect arrived in droves.

All eyes were on Shen Xuan, filled with shock, doubt, envy, admiration, and a hint of indescribable pride.

After all, we are all disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

We used to address each other as fellow disciples.

The Mysterious Master's gaze was sharp as lightning as he carefully examined Shen Xuan.

He practiced pupil techniques, and his spiritual eyes were extraordinary.

At this moment, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Mysterious Master, and he couldn't help but clap his hands in amazement.

"Well done, Shen Xuan! Junior Sister Hanyu was right, you truly are a Golden Core material!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Given the status and position of the Master of Mystery, it is impossible for him to make a mistake.

Beside them, both Master Tianfeng and Master Tianlei were deeply moved.

Master Hanyu wore a smile on his face, unable to hide his smugness.

"Senior Brother Mizong, is Shen Xuan a regular Golden Core cultivator, or an Ice Magic Golden Core cultivator?"

Master Tianfeng asked in a deep voice.

Even though they are both Golden Core, there are differences.
Let's not even talk about the upper, middle and lower grades.

Even the Golden Core attribute determines one's future path and combat power.

Lingxiao Zhenren, despite being a Golden Core cultivator, was merely an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Heavenly winds and thunder, hidden forms and mysterious traces, a spirit sword guards the peaks.

These five Golden Core cultivators were not ordinary spiritual roots.

They are the five different spiritual roots: wind, thunder, concealment, illusion, and sword.

"Why would Junior Brother Tianfeng have such a question? Junior Sister Hanyu personally taught him, so naturally he is a master of the Ice Technique Golden Core."

The words of the Lost Immortal were like a boulder falling into water, creating ripples.

Despite prior suspicions, the fact that the Sect Master himself confirmed it was the Ice-based Golden Core sent a jolt through all the other cultivators present.

Such a young Golden Core cultivator, who has already condensed an Ice-based Golden Core with a unique spiritual root, has limitless potential for his future cultivation.

Master Hanyu said solemnly, "Senior Brother Tianfeng, just because I haven't condensed a Golden Core doesn't mean my disciple can't."

"If you are interested, you can come and verify it yourself."

What Shen Xuan received was her inheritance of ice magic.

She could tell at a glance that Shen Xuan had condensed an Ice-based Golden Core.

Master Tianfeng's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but he finally let out a long sigh, cupped his hands, and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen, on achieving the Golden Core stage. The Great Dao is within your reach!"

The other real people also realized what was happening, and regardless of their thoughts, they all smiled and offered their congratulations.

Before the mountain gate, there was a chorus of congratulations.

Shen Xuan stood in the center of the crowd, facing the attention and congratulations of the masters. He remained calm, returned the greeting with clasped hands, and was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Junior brother was fortunate enough to form his core, and I am very grateful to Master Hanyu and Master Gufeng for their guidance. I am also grateful to the sect leader and all the senior brothers for their advice."

This sentence is very interesting.

Shen Xuan placed Han Yu Zhenren and Gu Feng Zhenren first, still addressing them as Master and Master.

After that, the status of Hanyu Zhenren and Gufeng Zhenren in the Qingyun Sect rose sharply.

As for the other True Immortals, including the Master of the Lost Tracks True Immortal, Shen Xuan could address them as Senior Brother.

The assembled masters looked at Shen Xuan and nodded slightly.

Regardless, Shen Xuan's words, spoken in front of everyone, have already established the matter.

Master Gufeng was also his master.

At this moment, Master Gufeng did not come out to greet him, which made his position awkward.

She simply took Shen Xuan into the sect.

It made little contribution to Shen Xuan's cultivation.

At the beginning, he was only a disciple in name only.

Later, even after becoming his personal disciple, he didn't receive much help in his cultivation.

Afterwards, Shen Xuan switched allegiance to Hanyu Peak.

The so-called direct transmission from the two peaks was merely a way to save face for Master Gufeng.

Everyone knows that Shen Xuan has no trace of the Little Lone Peak inheritance.

Now, he has condensed the Ice Magic Golden Elixir.

He is a descendant of the Cold Jade Immortal.

In the crowd, a familiar figure quietly disappeared.

It was none other than Gu Jinqin, who had been staying at Xiaogufeng.

She must have gone back to report to Master Gufeng, asking him to come and meet her.

As the winds and clouds converge, the golden elixir returns to its source.

The Mysterious Master ordered the Qingyun Sect to send a message to all sects of medium or higher level in the Song Kingdom.

Three months later, the Qingyun Sect held a Golden Core Formation Ceremony to celebrate its disciple Shen Xuan's formation of the Ice-based Golden Core.

From this moment on, Shen Xuan's identity is completely different.

At the very least, he can be on par with Master Lingxiao.

In the future, he will definitely surpass Lingxiao Zhenren and enter the core circle of Qingyun Sect.

If he is interested.

He will be a strong contender for the next leader of the Qingyun Sect.

However, Shen Xuan had other plans.
