Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 574 A Heavy Responsibility from the Sect (Seeking Further Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan pondered for a long time before speaking, "Master Hanyu, to be honest, Junior Sister Liu's chances of condensing the Ice Law True Core are slim."

This is not an excuse from Shen Xuan.

That is indeed the case.

Given Liu Bingyu's conditions, the hope of condensing the Ice Elixir is slim.

"I know. Where is the fake pill?"

"If it's a fake Ice Magic Core, but there are high-quality Golden Cores or superior Core Formation Spiritual Objects, I will protect and assist it, and I have a 60-70% chance of success."

"A 60-70% chance is good enough!"

Master Hanyu's expression softened slightly.

"Go see Liu Bingyu first and take care of this matter."

"Alright! This disciple will take his leave now and go see Junior Sister Liu."

Shen Xuan bowed and took his leave.

After Shen Xuan left.

Fang Huixue asked in a sweet voice, "Master, can Senior Brother really help Senior Sister Liu condense her core?"

Master Hanyu nodded slightly.

"Your senior brother is incredibly powerful, with ice magic skills that even I can't see through!"

“He has always been cautious. If he says he's 60 or 70% sure, then he's 70 or 80% sure.”

Fang Huixue asked curiously, "Since Senior Brother is so powerful, can he help me condense my core in the future?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Master Hanyu sighed softly.

"By the time you condense your core, he'll have disappeared."

"what!"

Fang Huixue looked puzzled.

Master Hanyu declined to explain.

"Xue'er, you are born with an ice spirit body, your talent surpasses Shen Xuan's, and you have my careful guidance! Cultivate diligently. One day, you will condense an ice magic golden core and defeat your senior brother!"

"This……"

Fang Huixue stammered, "Master, this is too difficult. Xue'er can't do it."

"What's so difficult about it! Heaven rewards diligence! I'll give you three years to build a superior Dao foundation! If you can't do it, I'll expel you from the sect!"

"Master Hanyu suddenly spoke angrily."

He had a look of disappointment and frustration.

Fang Huixue replied with a bitter face, "Yes, Master. Within three years, Xue'er will establish a superior Dao foundation."

……

Cold Jade Peak, Liu Bingyu's Cave.

This cave dwelling was built by Shen Xuan at a cost of three million spirit stones.

As a result, after only a few years, they fled in disarray.

Liu Bingyu got a good deal.

However, Shen Xuan was willing to help Liu Bingyu achieve the Golden Core stage.

Liu Bingyu is kind-hearted.

Before Shen Xuan became a disciple of Master Hanyu, he took the initiative to share his own insights into ice cultivation to help Shen Xuan.

After that, I never bothered him again.

Shen Xuan then brought his junior sister, Fang Huixue, who was born with an ice spirit body.

Liu Bingyu was both surprised and delighted.

He frankly stated that Master Hanyu has a successor and he will no longer worry about her cultivation progress.

Shen Xuan transmitted his voice into the cave from outside.

Soon, the maid Bai Xiaomeng came out to greet her.

She bowed deeply.

"Xiaomeng has met Master Xuanbing."

Shen Xuan nodded.

Haven't seen it in years.

Bai Xiaomeng had suddenly reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Where is Junior Sister Liu?

"Master is currently practicing in the training room and will soon emerge from seclusion."

Bai Xiaomeng led Shen Xuan into the cave.

"Xiaomeng, bring Senior Brother Shen directly to the training room."

The jade door to the practice room opened.

Shen Xuan and Shi Ranran walked in.

Liu Bingyu sat cross-legged on the millennium-old cold jade bed, opened her pretty eyes, and her body was surrounded by ice spiritual energy, which flowed slowly like smoke and mist as she finished her cultivation.

A flash of crimson light appeared in Shen Xuan's eyes.

He and Liu Bingyu both practiced the [Dongzhen Bingxin Jue], sharing the same origin.

Even without using the [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique], he could still discern Liu Bingyu's cultivation progress.

Liu Bingyu has just completed the Foundation Establishment process.

However, its own conditions are limited.

It will take another four or five years of hard work to perfect it.

In Shen Xuan's opinion, Liu Bingyu's spiritual power purity, soul strength, spiritual awareness resilience, and physical blood and qi were all lacking.

Just as a divine weapon is forged from ordinary iron, if the material quality is poor, it will ultimately be difficult to create a great weapon.

Liu Bingyu's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible surprise.

"Senior Brother Shen."

Liu Bingyu stood up and bowed.

Shen Xuan asked softly, "I just went to see Master Hanyu. She asked me to help you form your core."

Liu Bingyu's pretty face flushed slightly.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Senior Brother Shen. My master has never had a moment's peace since he took me in as his dull-witted disciple."

"Don't overthink it. This is simply my duty."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Concentrate your mind and circulate your energy. I will infuse you with a little Primordial Ice Spiritual Power. You should experience it carefully."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

When it came to the path of Core Formation, Liu Bingyu didn't mince words.

Shen Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword and gently touched Liu Bingyu's back.

"Concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, let the icy essence return to its origin!"

Without hesitation, Liu Bingyu immediately closed her eyes, concentrated, and began to channel her inner energy.

In an instant.

A wisp of pure Primordial Ice Spirit Power, carrying a vast and boundless meaning, flowed from Shen Xuan's fingertips into Liu Bingyu's dantian.

This wisp of primordial ice spiritual power transformed into countless tiny strands of spiritual energy, merging into Liu Bingyu's body and guiding her spiritual power to circulate throughout her meridians and internal organs.

Finally, it returned to the dantian, forming a spiritual core the size of a grain of rice in the very center of the Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea.

Although the spirit core was small, it acted like a stabilizing force, firmly establishing the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea within Liu Bingyu's body.

In the future, it can be transformed into the prototype of a pill core.

This laid the foundation for Liu Bingyu's condensation of cinnabar.

Shen Xuan then took out another blank jade slip.

With a flicker of light at the fingertips, the power of the soul imprints the inheritance of a martial arts technique.

"Junior Sister Liu, this is a genuine Buddhist internal visualization method called the 'White Bone Contemplation Internal Visualization Method.' Visualize your own flesh and blood transforming into jade-like white bones, which can temper your soul and enlighten your mind."

Immediately afterward, Shen Xuan flicked his sleeve, and two Ice Spirit Flowers, their petals sculpted like ice crystals and shimmering with moonlight, appeared in the air. "These are Ice Spirit Flowers, both over a thousand years old. You can nurture them first and familiarize yourself with their characteristics. When you attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage, refining them will give you a significant advantage."

Since Shen Xuan had made a promise to Master Hanyu, he would keep it.

This time, he really went all out.

The origin of the Primordial Ice Spirit Power, the [White Bone Observation Inner Vision Method], and two thousand-year-old Ice Spirit Flowers.

“Junior Sister Liu, let me know when you’re exchanging for the Golden Transformation Pill, and I’ll personally accompany you. The Golden Transformation Pill that Junior Sister Xuanbing exchanges for is definitely the best grade one in the sect’s inventory.”

"If I am unharmed when you attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage, I will protect you."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

If that's the case, Liu Bingyu still won't be able to form her core.

Master Hanyu had nothing more to say.

"The fake pill is almost certainly the answer. The real pill is just a sliver of hope."

"If this still doesn't work, then it means Junior Sister Liu is not destined to form her core."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

At this moment, Liu Bingyu raised her head, looked at Shen Xuan's calm face, and smiled sweetly.

"Thank you, Brother Shen."

When Liu Bingyu smiles, her eyebrows and eyes crinkle, her gentle and charming demeanor instantly making people feel a sense of warmth and intimacy.

"Let's leave it at that for now and polish it properly. If you encounter any problems, write to Starshine Island."

……

After finishing his business at Hanyu Peak, Shen Xuan went to Xiaogu Peak as usual.

Although it's impossible to treat both sides equally.

On the surface, Shen Xuan still had to respect Master Gufeng.

At the summit of the solitary peak, clouds and mist swirl.

In a blessed land.

Shen Xuan and Master Gufeng sat facing each other.

Originally, Gu Jinqin and the Wu sisters, who were standing by his side, were driven out by Master Gufeng.

Seeing this situation, Shen Xuan secretly groaned inwardly.

Sure enough, Master Gufeng smiled gently.

"Shen Xuan, I am very happy with your achievements."

“I am not like Senior Sister Hanyu; I have not passed on any teachings to you. Logically speaking, I should not ask for this.”

"only……"

Master Gufeng sighed deeply.

Shen Xuan smiled bitterly to himself.

“Master Gufeng, please feel free to ask if you have anything to say.”

Master Gufeng nodded: "Shen Xuan, I asked Senior Brother Lingxiao. The [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] you cultivate is an improved version of an ancient technique and has special healing and recovery effects."

"I heard that you used this skill to heal four True Core Realm Masters from the Xuantian Sect, Jinyang Sect, and Shenjian Sect."

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

"Is that so! That's wonderful! This..."

Master Gufeng was rather embarrassed.

“Your junior sister, Yun Chixin, is devoted to the Dao. In truth, this matter is still my responsibility.”

"Although I am a True Man of Wood Magic, I cultivate the Yang family's ancestral techniques, which I was unable to pass on to Yun Chixin."

"This time, she failed to break through to the Core Formation stage, her Dao foundation was damaged, her meridians and internal organs were injured, and her cultivation level regressed. Even with miraculous pills and medicines, it will be difficult for her to fully recover."

This is normal.

Forming the Golden Core is no easy feat.

Even fake pills are one in a hundred.

Forming the Core is far more dangerous than Foundation Establishment.

Failure to form the Golden Core can result in the severing of one's cultivation path at best, and death and the dissipation of one's cultivation at worst.

Generally speaking, it is common for cultivation levels to drop, the foundation of one's Dao to be damaged, and the meridians, internal organs, and spirit to be injured.

Shen Xuan fell silent.

In fact, with his current level of cultivation, healing Yun Chixin's injuries is not a difficult task.

However, Shen Xuan cannot open that door.

Otherwise, all the disciples of the sects who failed to form their core would try every means to seek his help for healing.

People are selfish.

Honestly, Shen Xuan felt he was willing to repay Master Gufeng.

The premise is that his personal interests should not be excessively harmed.

"I know a little about Junior Sister Yun's situation."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "The [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] that I practice does indeed have healing effects."

"When I treated the four True Persons, including Xuan Tianzong, I was dissolving the primordial magnetic evil light within their bodies. I did not treat their inner core, soul, meridians, or internal organs."

Shen Xuan said sincerely, "Master Gu Feng, I am a Golden Core cultivator specializing in Ice Magic. Junior Sister Yun is a Wood Magic cultivator and has suffered severe injuries. I may be able to stabilize her condition, but it is absolutely impossible for her to fully recover to her peak condition."

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Master Gufeng's eyes.

Shen Xuan quickly said, "However, it's not like there's no way."

Master Gufeng's eyes lit up.

Shen Xuan changed the subject: "Does Master Gu Feng still remember the ten-thousand-year-old Purple Essence Divine Tree in Yingxia Lake?"

"How could I not remember? Many of the wood-based cultivators from the seven sects of the Song Kingdom went there to solidify their spiritual bodies."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly: "The Purple Essence Tree King has survived the Heavenly Tribulation and transformed into human form."

"what!"

Master Gufeng asked in surprise, "He's now a fourth-tier demon emperor?"

"Exactly."

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "Junior Sister Yun's injuries are the backlash from her failed Core Formation, and ordinary methods cannot cure her."

"If we could get the Purple Essence Tree King to intervene and infuse Junior Sister Yun with spiritual energy, reshaping her spiritual body and repairing her Dao foundation, she could then hone her skills and attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage again!"

Yun Chixin comes from the prestigious Yun family.

Gathering another set of Core Formation resources is not difficult.

Moreover, she has Master Gufeng backing her up.

Over the years, Xiao Gufeng has made a fortune by refining pills in the large furnace and making Thunder Spirit Pearls.

Master Gufeng exclaimed with emotion, "I never expected that the Purple Essence Divine Tree would actually break through and advance! To achieve the rank of a fourth-tier demon emperor with the body of a plant—in thousands of years, only one person in the Song Kingdom has done so. This Purple Essence Tree Emperor truly possesses boundless fortune!"

She looked at Shen Xuan.

"Shen Xuan, if Senior Brother Ling Xiao and I were to personally go there, would the Purple Essence Tree King grant us this favor?"

"If Master has something to do, this disciple will do his best. After some time, this disciple will take Junior Sister Yun to Luoxia Lake, and that will be fine."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

"The infusion of spiritual energy is no small matter. Will the Purple Essence Tree King agree?"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

For others, receiving the infusion of purple spiritual energy is an extremely rare opportunity.

The Purple Tree King certainly wouldn't act rashly and risk damaging its own vital energy.

But as long as he speaks.

The Purple Tree King would not refuse.

Seeing Shen Xuan's confidence, Master Gufeng realized that the relationship between Shen Xuan and the Purple Cloud Tree Emperor was quite extraordinary.

A bold conjecture emerged in Master Gufeng's mind.

"Could it be that Shen Xuan played a part in the Purple Essence Tree King's transformation into human form during its tribulation?"
