Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 549 The Uninvited Guest (Please Subscribe)
His mind was as clear as a mirror.

The two men sustained relatively minor injuries, making treatment easier for him.

If you go all out, you won't even need two or three months, let alone two or three years.

Of course, Shen Xuan wouldn't be so foolish as to reveal his strength.

In the eyes of others.

The longer he treats patients, the more vital energy he loses, and the stronger his sense of obligation becomes.

In the future, this kind of personal connection may play an unexpected role.

……

Two years later, Master Chishu and Master Lingyou bid farewell to the island.

The two repeatedly promised that they would definitely repay Shen Xuan for this favor.

Each person took out a token as a token.

Shen Xuan gladly accepted it.

Back to the Ice Cave.

Shen Xuan entered the training room.

In the past two years, he not only refined the remaining dragon-turtle demon core, but also refined all the incomplete demon dragon demon core he obtained through trading the demon dragon's reverse scale.

On the mysterious jade talisman.

[Supernatural Ability: Proficient in Turtle Breathing Immortal Body (18/100)]

【Shouyuan: 172/1106】

[Talent: Dragon Blood Boiling (Perfected) (1788/3200)]

【Daoyun: 2311628】

With the advancement of the [Turtle Breath Immortal Body], lifespan increased by another eighteen years.

"I truly have nothing left now!"

Shen Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He refined all the third-tier divine dragon descendant spirit objects.

[Dragon Blood Boiling] is at its maximum level, but that seems a long way off.

Judging from the experience of the "Turtle Breath Immortal Body".

Even if the [Dragon Blood Boiling] skill is at its maximum level, that bottleneck is not so easy to break through.

"Two spiritual artifacts, three demonic weapons, forty-two Blood Demon Pills, eleven premium Longevity Pills, and twenty-seven ordinary Longevity Pills."

"In addition, there are three dragon horns, two demon dragon tendons, twelve dragon claws, and other materials for a third-tier demon king."

This is a third-tier spiritual item that Shen Xuan can offer for trade.

He also has a Binding Immortal Rope made primarily from the sinew of a sea-overturning dragon.

If necessary, this Immortal Binding Rope can also be put up for trade.

More than thirty ordinary Ice Soul Flying Sword Talismans and mid-grade third-tier Ice Talismans.

This is a strategic spiritual object that the Song Dynasty's sect strictly forbids from being traded with foreign entities.

However, Shen Xuan will also make a deal if the offer is right.

More than ten exquisite Ice Soul Flying Sword Talismans were prepared as backup for the Mysterious Ice Treasure Talisman.

This was also one of Shen Xuan's most treasured protective techniques.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be taken out.

In the past two years, he has not relaxed his training in ice magic.

The Ice Soul Divine Light can condense sword energy into threads, the Mysterious Ice Dragon Shadow can transform into a tide of ten thousand dragon swords, and the Immortal Ice Lotus can bloom with endless sword petals.

All three of these ice-based magical abilities have reached the level of mastery.

The Daoist Rhyme has stored 2.3 million.

"After twelve years of arduous training and exhausting all my savings, I have finally achieved some success."

Shen Xuan took out Wanmeng Demon Lord's reply.

The letter stated that the five sects of Yan State divided their forces to attack the seven sects of Song State, and all of them, except for the Xuantian Sect, had reached the inner city of Xiancheng, a natural barrier.

Something unusual seems to be happening in the Yan state itself.

This information is limited to high-level cultivators from the five major sects in the Yan Kingdom; the Hehuan Sect has not yet received any definitive information.

Rumors circulated that the seven emperors of the Song dynasty seemed to be showing signs of instability.

A sect ranked lower in the rankings is interested in negotiating a separate peace with the five sects of Yan.

Shen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

So-called separate peace talks are no different from surrender.

"Medicine God Valley, or Thousand Machine Sect? They actually want to surrender to the Yan Kingdom?"

"So, blocking the other six sects was to receive the surrendered sects?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

If that's the case, then the five clans of Yan will have gained a firm foothold in Song.

The Song dynasty's clan was still in the throes of hardship.

"That's a matter for important people to worry about. As long as the Qingyun Sect doesn't fall, I'll stay peacefully on Xinghui Island."

In eleven years, Starshine Island has flourished like a golden age.

The Great Array of Ten Thousand Waters Converging to Protect the Island has become increasingly solid and substantial.

A shimmering light emanated from the lotus, faintly revealing its illusory form and radiating a chilling aura.

On Starshine Island, some barren land has been reclaimed into continuous spiritual fields, where spiritual plants such as Water Element Rice, Star Pattern Algae, and Cold Light Fungus are planted, brimming with spiritual energy and growing vigorously.

In addition, some medicinal herb gardens, fish farms, and mines have been developed.

The port and wharf have expanded tenfold, and are now teeming with boats.

Countless cultivators from the nearby islands came to trade in small spirit boats.

Merchant caravans from the mainland frequently come to buy the island's specialty spiritual rice and herbs, various materials from demonic beasts, and sell various spiritual items for cultivation, such as pills, artifacts, arrays, talismans, and plants.

Starshine Island Market has developed into a bustling fairy city, named Starshine City.

The city has wide streets, towers and palaces, shops, restaurants, alchemy workshops, artifact stores and so on, and is bustling with cultivators.

All of this stemmed from Shen Xuan's policy of "light taxes and levies".

With peace and prosperity, the future looks promising.

Shen Xuan's policies attracted a large number of independent cultivators from the surrounding sea areas to join him.

Some low-level cultivators struggling inland came here because of its reputation.

Despite the household registration system, points are used for obtaining residency.

The number of cultivators on Starshine Island has already swelled.

In just eleven years, it has grown to 50,000 cultivators.

More than 30,000 of them do not have household registration on Xinghui Island.

Working tirelessly day and night, striving harder than oxen and horses, accumulating points, and trying every possible means to settle on Xinghui Island.

This has brought vitality to Xinghui City.

A new order and a new class are quietly taking shape amidst the prosperity.

Shangguan Yan'er and Ding Yijin had already brought a portion of their clansmen with them.

There are also second-tier alchemists like Shangguan Mingyue and Ding Qingfeng.

These two families quickly grew and became emerging cultivation families on the island.

After receiving spiritual veins, Lin Zhongyue and Chu Duanlang also began to establish a cultivation family.

Su Xue'er and her seven sons of the Shen family kept a low profile, living in seclusion at the foot of Hanbing Cave Mountain, forming their own family.

Shen Xuan would visit them from time to time and give them guidance in their cultivation.

dusk.

Shen Xuan stood quietly atop the main peak, overlooking the myriad lights of homes and the comings and goings of boats below.

Governing a region brings benefits to that region. Shen Xuan didn't expect the cultivators and mortals on Starshine Island to repay him in any way.

These forces were insignificant in his eyes.

Even the deputy island master, Master Weichen, could only handle the trivial matters of Starshine Island for him.

He simply did what he wanted to do, according to his own will.

Throughout my life, I have acted with a clear conscience.

When faced with truly important matters, Shen Xuan only relies on himself and never places his hopes on others.

……

A month later.

Two special guests arrived on Star Island.

An old man with white hair and a thin old woman.

The two boarded a flying boat and went straight to the front of the Wanshui Chaozong formation.

The white-haired old man sent out a transmission talisman, which flew into the formation.

When Tie Wendao, who was guarding the formation, received the message and saw the signature on the message talisman, his expression changed.

Get it to the Ice Cave immediately.

"Why is he here?"

After seeing the message, Shen Xuan personally went off the island to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​it's been a long time!"

The white-haired old man's name was Tian Wenxi, and he practiced the Golden Elixir of the Bishui Sect.

Many years ago, he was an old white-haired cultivator who lived in seclusion and sold his "Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique" in Luoying Market.

The old woman beside him was Chen Yufei, the great-granddaughter of the former sect leader of the Biyue Sect and a True Dan Realm cultivator.

Shen Xuan scanned the two with his divine sense.

Tian Wenxi was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Clearly, the serious injury he suffered back then affected his cultivation.

What puzzled him was that Chen Yufei was only at the early stage of True Core Realm.

I don't know what the inside story is, but his cultivation has stagnated for so many years.

"My wife and I greet Fellow Daoist Xuanbing."

Tian Wenxi smiled and bowed.

Now, times have changed.

Back then, he was just a minor cultivator in Qi Refining, but he has now achieved the Golden Core of Ice Technique.

It's still the Qingyun Sect, a top-tier sect in the Song Kingdom.

As a rogue cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm who had been expelled from his sect, he dared not put on airs in front of Shen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoists, please come in!"

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and invited Tian Wenxi and Chen Yufei into Starshine Island.

Inside the icy cave.

The three of them were seated separately.

Shangguan Yan'er brewed the Cold Leaf Spirit Tea and placed it on the table.

Shen Xuan took a sip of spiritual tea and got straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​what brings you to Starshine Island?"

Tian Wenxi smiled gently: "It has been nearly a century since we parted ways at Luoying Market. You were once a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, and now you are a renowned Golden Core True Person, famous throughout the land. Congratulations!"

Shen Xuan smiled and returned the greeting: "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​I have always remembered your kindness in passing on your teachings back then. Please speak frankly if you have anything to say. I will do my best to help."

Tian Wenxi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing is straightforward, so I will speak frankly. I have come here today to ask Fellow Daoist Xuanbing to fulfill the promise he made back then."

Shen Xuan calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​are you referring to the oath you made to Heaven back then?"

“That’s right. When I was passing on the teachings, Fellow Daoist Xuanbing made a vow to Heaven. After mastering the [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique], he would do something for me.”

"I did make that promise."

Shen Xuan nodded, his expression unchanged: "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​please speak. What do you need me to do?"

Tian Wenxi's eyes revealed a hint of madness: "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, please publicly challenge my junior brother, Qingyu Zhenren, the sect leader of the Biyue Sect."

The air froze instantly upon hearing this.

Chen Yufei subconsciously gripped her sleeves, her face showing tension.

Shen Xuan put down his teacup and fell into deep thought.

a long time.

He looked up at Tian Wenxi and nodded slightly.

"I challenge True Person Qingyu to a duel. If Shen Xuan remembers correctly, he was a Water-based Golden Core cultivator many years ago, and now he's probably in the late stage of the Golden Core realm."

"Ten years ago, True Person Qingyu broke through and entered the late stage of Golden Core."

Tian Wenxi suddenly said angrily, "Qingyu is a person who appears kind and generous on the surface, but in reality he is narrow-minded, jealous of talent and ability, and has ruined me to this state!"

Shen Xuan waved his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​please forgive my bluntness. I don't want to know about your grudges with Fellow Daoist Qingyu. Nor do I need to know."

Shen Xuan stared at Tian Wenxi.

"You're asking me to keep my promise and fight Qingyu Zhenren, right?"

Tian Wenxi calmed down and slowly said, "Yes."

"Regardless of victory or defeat?"

Tian Wenxi said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, you must not underestimate your opponent. Previously, Qingyu had already killed three True Persons who had stolen the [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique]."

"I will fight with all my might."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I will abide by the oath of Heaven. However, it has been a hundred years since Qingyu Zhenren reached the Golden Core stage, while it has been ten years since I reached the Golden Core stage. He is in the late stage of the Golden Core stage, while I am in the early stage."

"A hasty engagement is likely to end badly."

In fact, Shen Xuan had other thoughts in mind.

As the supreme martial art of the Azure Water Sect, the [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique] is extremely suitable for him.

After incorporating ice magic, its power greatly increased.

Tian Wenxi's expression changed.

"What does Fellow Daoist Xuanbing mean?"

Shen Xuan said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​rest assured. I am willing to fulfill my promise and fight against True Person Qingyu."

Among Golden Elixir Immortals, victory or defeat is easy to determine, but life and death are difficult to distinguish.

Shen Xuan is a Golden Core cultivator of the Ice Technique from the Qingyun Sect.

Even if Master Qingyu is stronger than him, he wouldn't dare to harm him.

Moreover, Shen Xuan did not believe that Qingyu Zhenren was much stronger than him.

The foundation of the Qingyun Sect is incomparable to that of a mid-level sect.

Based solely on his ice magic, he and Master Qingyu should be evenly matched.

If one condenses a Dharma form, it will trigger the [Dragon Blood Boiling].

Shen Xuan was 80-90% confident that he could defeat Qingyu Zhenren.

Of course, if it's just a contest, there's no need for this.

Ideally, the outcome would be a draw, with neither side winning or losing, and a handshake to make peace.

It won't hurt either of their feelings.

"However, I need time. If Fellow Daoist Tian could provide the [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique] Core Formation Realm cultivation method, I would appreciate your insights."

"Twenty years later, I will personally ascend Biyue Peak and publicly challenge Master Qingyu!"

Shen Xuan said firmly.
