Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 541 Miraculous Healing (Please Subscribe)

An hour later.

The jade door to the secret chamber slowly opened, and Shen Xuan and Wen Ruyu emerged side by side.

Wen Ruyu at this moment was completely different from how she looked when she went in.

At that time, he was weak, pale, and his breathing was irregular.

Now, Wen Ruyu's complexion has regained its rosy hue, her eyes have regained their sparkle, and her breathing has become more stable.

Clearly, he had not yet eradicated all the Yuan Magnetic Evil Light, but the lingering pain had lessened considerably, and he felt a long-lost sense of ease.

A hint of undisguised joy flickered between Wen Ruyu's brows.

Wang Zuhua, who had been waiting anxiously outside, immediately came forward upon seeing this.

"Senior Brother Wen, how is it?"

Wen Ruyu smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Shen is incredibly powerful and has miraculous healing abilities. He will be able to remove the Yuan Magnetic Evil Light from my body in a few days."

His gratitude and admiration for Shen Xuan were evident in his words.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zuhua was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply to Shen Xuan: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen, for healing Senior Brother Wen!"

Shen Xuan waved his hand gently: "We are both from the Seven Sects of the Song Kingdom, Fellow Daoist Wang, there's no need for thanks!"

"Besides, your sect leader has brought such a generous gift. It would be impolite of me to refuse it!"

Then, Shen Xuan looked at Wen Ruyu and said thoughtfully, "Fellow Daoist Wen, the evil light in your body has been ingrained for many years and is deeply rooted. It is somewhat entangled with your inner core and soul. You need to proceed slowly and not be too hasty."

"I suggest you stay on Starshine Island for a while. Come to my residence every two months, and I will heal your injuries, slowly dissolving the remaining Yuan Magnetic Evil Light with Xuanbing Spiritual Power."

Wen Ruyu nodded: "Fellow Daoist Shen is absolutely right. I will settle here temporarily. However, could Fellow Daoist Shen tell me how long it will take to completely cure this?"

Shen Xuan thought for a while.

"I estimate that it should be completely cured in about three years."

"Three years..."

Wen Ruyu repeated the sentence, not disappointed at all, but full of joy.

This magnetic aura had haunted him for ten years, and even the elders of his sect were helpless against it.

The fact that Shen Xuan was able to cure the disease in just three years was undoubtedly great news for him.

True immortals possess long lifespans, reaching up to five hundred years.

Three years is nothing.

"I understand. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen. I will stay here for three years."

Shen Xuan nodded: "On Starshine Island, there is also a third-tier low-grade branch. However, the cave dwelling is only second-tier high-grade, so we will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Wen for now."

"Not at all! Fellow Daoist Shen, you're too kind!"

On Starshine Island, the main vein was a third-tier superior-grade item, which Shen Xuan used for his own purposes and expanded into an ice cave.

The two branch veins are of the third-grade lower level.

One branch was given to Zhuang Xueqin, who then established a Taoist temple.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators on Starshine Island, such as Ding Yijin, Tie Wendao, Lin Zhongyue, and Chu Duanlang, all settled on this branch.

On another branch, Shen Xuan opened up several second-tier high-grade cave dwellings, which he originally intended to rent out.

Subsequently, Shen Xuan ordered Zhuang Xueqin to personally lead Wen Ruyu and Wang Zuhao to the branch cave dwelling.

……

Star Island.

late at night.

The summit of the main peak.

Shen Xuan stood alone atop the mountain peak.

He looked down at the vast, turbulent sea below, his eyes deep and calm.

"The Yuan Magnetic Aura is nothing special!"

The purifying effect of the Nine-Colored Lotus exceeded his expectations.

Wen Ruyu's injuries were severe.

However, by using his full power, combining the original spiritual energy of the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] with the Nine-Colored Lotus, he was able to completely eliminate the Yuan Magnetic Evil Qi from Wen Ruyu's body in just three months.

However, there's no need for that.

It's too easy, and the human touch isn't strong enough.

Shen Xuan deliberately delayed for three years.

Besides highlighting the hardships, avoiding suspicion, and emphasizing human relationships.

There is another reason.

It is to avoid disaster and protect oneself.

The brief negotiations between the states of Yan and Song ultimately broke down.

Unsurprisingly, the veteran Zhen Dan began to step into the fray.

These are the true figures of power in the sect, and their loss is not to be tolerated.

However, once a war begins, it is not something that can be controlled at will.

In the sectarian war between Yan and Song, some veteran True Elixir Masters will inevitably perish.

Behind them are numerous sects and powerful families, with far-reaching influence.

This sect war will not stop until one side admits defeat and begs for mercy.

Treating Wen Ruyu is a perfect excuse.

Not to mention the Qingyun Sect, even the other six sects of the Song Kingdom cannot question it.

In addition, Shen Xuan is a third-level alchemist.

They can openly hide on Starshine Island and cultivate in peace.

Unless the Song dynasty's sects suffer a complete collapse and truly cannot hold on.

By then, even as a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator, he would be powerless to change the course of the war.

What we need to think about is not how to go to the battlefield and turn the tide.

Instead, he prepared himself to find an opportunity to slip away from the Song state and save his life.

"It takes three years to treat each patient, and at least one year of recuperation is required."

"Zhuo Wuyan used the Yuan Magnetic Fiend Light to injure four people. Besides Wen Ruyu, there were two from the Xuantian Sect and one from the Divine Sword Sect."

"In this way, I can safely avoid war for the next twenty years."

Shen Xuan could also take this opportunity to refine the essence and blood of the third-tier divine dragon descendant in his hands, and further improve his body refining technique.

We cannot allow sect wars to disrupt his cultivation plans and hinder his path to the Nascent Soul stage.

The so-called "three-year cure" was actually him buying himself time to focus on spiritual practice.

……

A month later, guests visited Star Island again.

Wanmeng, the Demon Lord of the Hehuan Sect, arrived at Starshine Island with Anling, the Demon Lord of the Youming Sect.

After being greeted by Zhuang Xueqin, he personally led the group to the Ice Cave.

The formation was activated, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Wanmeng, it's been a long time. What brings you here today? Please rest in the living room for a while and have some spiritual tea. I'll come out after I finish my practice."

Shangguan Yan'er went out to greet them.

Upon seeing each other, their eyes met, and each knew what was going on in their hearts.

"You must be Sister Wanmeng! My husband has mentioned you many times! You are indeed exceptionally beautiful!"

"This humble servant, Shangguan Yan'er, greets Sister Wanmeng."

Shangguan Yan'er curtsied.

Demon Lord Wanmeng casually returned the greeting, ignoring Shangguan Yan'er's sharp retort. She was a demon cultivator, and also a guest.

For Shen Xuan's sake, they won't hold it against Shangguan Yan'er.

Otherwise, one would lose face.

Shangguan Yan'er didn't say much, her eyes slightly dimmed.

Shangguan Yan'er served the Cold Leaf Spirit Tea, bowed, and withdrew.

Soon after, Shen Xuan came out to greet them.

He was quite enthusiastic towards Demon Lord Wanmeng.

I heard that the Dark Spirit Demon Lord has come to make a deal.

Upon examining the demonic dragon core he brought, it was found to be slightly damaged, but still retained about 80-90% of its original content.

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and took out five demonic weapons for him to choose from.

The Dark Spirit Demon Lord compared them repeatedly and then chose a Yin Soul Banner.

"Fellow Daoist Dark Spirit, it is a rare treat for you to visit Starshine Island. I, Shen, will host a banquet to welcome you back."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wen Ruyu of the Golden Sun Sect is also staying on the island for a while. We can invite him to keep us company."

The Dark Spirit Demon Lord was flattered and overwhelmed.

The Netherworld Sect, although listed among the six major demonic sects of Liang Kingdom, is actually one of the bottom three sects, ranking last.

The Dark Spirit Demon Lord's strength is not particularly formidable.

If it weren't for Demon Lord Wanmeng's company, he would never have come to Starshine Island alone.

Regardless of whether the Song and Liang states declare war.

Spiritual cultivation and demonic cultivation have always belonged to different camps.

"Dark Spirit thanks Island Master Shen!"

That evening, Shen Xuan invited Wen Ruyu and Zhuang Xueqin to a banquet to entertain the Dark Spirit Demon Lord.

The following day, when the Dark Spirit Demon Lord left, he also gave him a Core Formation Demonic Object.

Shen Xuan had as many as seven or eight of these ordinary-quality Core Formation demonic creatures in his storage bag.

"This is just a small token of my respect. Fellow Daoist Dark Spirit, you are welcome to visit Starshine Island anytime you have the opportunity."

For a moment, even the Dark Spirit Demon Lord was somewhat moved.

Even though he knew Shen Xuan was using him as a pawn, he was still secretly pleased.

After all, the fact that a Golden Core cultivator of the Ice Law treated him with such warmth and courtesy would enhance his reputation as the Dark Spirit Demon Lord.

Demon Lord Wanmeng found this scene amusing.

Shen Xuan's acting skills impressed her.

After seeing off the Dark Spirit Demon Lord, Wanmeng Demon Lord naturally took Shen Xuan's arm.

"Shen Lang, look, Wanmeng has gone to great lengths for you. How will you reward her?"

Shen Xuan gently withdrew his arm and said in a low voice.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. I'll come to your place tonight."

Wanmeng, the Demon Lord, blushed slightly.

A faint sense of anticipation lingered in my heart.

……

late at night.

Starry Island, a branch cave dwelling.

The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased, leaving behind a warm, fragrant jade.

On the brocade couch, Wanmeng curled up lazily, her snow-white skin glistening with fine beads of sweat and a captivating blush.

Her eyes were glazed over, and she was breathing heavily.

Clearly, the intense pleasure she had just experienced had left her utterly exhausted.

This was even with Shen Xuan holding back.

The two had important matters to discuss.

Demon Lord Wanmeng's voice was sweet and coquettish: "My darling, after condensing your golden core, your body has become even stronger! Wanmeng can't take it anymore!"

"Your concubine, can she satisfy you?"

At this point, a hint of bitterness crept into Wanmeng Demon Lord's tone.

Shen Xuan leaned back on the couch, his eyes slightly closed, his aura serene and restrained.

"At your age, why are you arguing with a little girl! Let's get down to business."

Wanmeng propped herself up slightly, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

“Shen Lang, I told you about the Ice Demon Dragon last time. Wanmeng has already found out everything.”

She took out a geographical jade slip.

"Within the territory of Liang Kingdom, there is a Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. At the deepest part of the valley, there is an extremely cold and yin pool. The Ice Demon Dragon dwells in the extremely cold and yin pool."

"Wanmeng is certain that this demonic dragon is of the ice attribute and can spew extremely cold ice energy from its mouth. It is incredibly powerful and has devoured several demon lords in the past."

Shen Xuan asked, "Is there anything special about the surrounding area?"

Demon Lord Wanmeng thought for a moment and said, "Aside from the dense demonic energy and the fact that it is a remote place, I have not found anything special about it."

"Is there a demonic realm or a passage to the demon world nearby?"

"no!"

Demon Lord Wanmeng paused for a moment, then added, "The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is a dangerous place in Liang Kingdom, with many demonic beasts and a harsh environment. Ordinary cultivators dare not venture deep into it."

"That extremely cold and yin pool is over a thousand feet deep. Only the Water Demon Lord dares to enter."

"Even the Water Demon Lords, those with names and identities, have lost two of them!"

Shen Xuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he quickly made a mental calculation.

The descendants of the third-tier divine dragon are extremely rare.

This Ice Fiend Dragon is of the ice attribute, and he has a connection with it.

The extremely cold and gloomy pool is over a thousand feet deep.

It's a huge problem for others.

For him, transforming into a dragon was a minor issue.

What Shen Xuan was worried about was the extraterrestrial demon god.

Like the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Song, the Demon Infant Ancestor of Liang Kingdom rarely left his cave.

Under normal circumstances, they won't act rashly.

Moreover, neither the Song nor the Liang states declared war.

As long as Shen Xuan doesn't provoke the Demon Lord of Liang Kingdom.

In theory, the Demonic Infant Ancestor of Liang Kingdom would not attack him.

Demon Lord Wanmeng observed Shen Xuan's expression.

Seeing that he was somewhat tempted, she smiled sweetly.

"Shen Lang, this is a golden opportunity. If someone else gets there first, it won't be easy to find such an Ice Fiend Demon Dragon again!"

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "How did those two Water Demon Lords perish?"

"Ah, those two water magic demon lords?"

"There were four of them. They used hundreds of demonic swallows as bait to lure the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon out of the Extremely Cold Pool. Later, the four of them ganged up on the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon."

"The Ice Fiend Demon Dragon, outnumbered, darted into the Extremely Yin Cold Pool. Those two, oblivious to their fate, followed and pursued it into the pool, and then..."

"And then that was it!"
