Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 588 Fermenting Tea Seeds (Seeking Further Subscriptions)

This line is so familiar.

Shen Xuan didn't think much of it and didn't waste a single moment.

The silver-horned celestial horse beneath him vanished in an instant, disappearing into his spirit beast pouch.

Then, Shen Xuan's body became blurry.

[Walking Between Yin and Yang]!
Shen Xuan's figure disappeared into the void of the sky.

After more than ten breaths.

When Shen Xuan reappeared, he was already a thousand feet away, his body crackling with azure lightning.

After a series of faint crackling sounds...

Shen Xuan used the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique] repeatedly and quickly flew dozens of miles away.

Behind them, on a cloud-piercing shuttle, stood two Golden Core cultivators.

One is still vigorous despite his age, the other is in his prime.

"Master, why did he run away?"

The young Golden Core cultivator asked curiously.

"How would I know!"

The elderly Golden Core cultivator gazed at Shen Xuan's disappearing figure and couldn't help but sigh.

"Master Xuanbing of the Qingyun Sect lives up to his reputation. With just his spatial divine ability and lightning escape technique, I have no way to deal with him."

The young Golden Core cultivator scoffed, "Master, stop praising him. Xuanbing Zhenren is renowned, I thought he was something special, how could he be so timid and cowardly!"

The old Golden Elixir Master couldn't bear the embarrassment.

“Lian Ling, do not underestimate this person! Among the newly promoted Golden Core cultivators in the Song Kingdom, only he can rival Tian Xing of the Xuan Tian Sect.”

"understood!"

The Refining Spirit Master still had some doubts.

Why is he running?

……

Seeing that the two Golden Core cultivators behind him hadn't caught up, Shen Xuan concealed himself and disguised himself as an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Then, he flew on his sword.

"extremely suspicious?"

At this moment, Shen Xuan's flight speed was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"The Shadow Assassin Sect shouldn't be here so soon."

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord said that the fame of the Mysterious Ice Immortal had spread far and wide.

For such a high-difficulty assassination mission, the Shadow Assassin Sect usually dispatches a master, at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Then, recruit two mid-stage True Core cultivators as helpers among the demonic cultivators who are undergoing tribulation.

Only when there are three of us can we be confident of victory.

You also need to choose the best time and place.

Interceptions like the one we just witnessed from thousands of feet in the air are very difficult to achieve.

"So, it's just a coincidence?"

"Those two Golden Core cultivators just now seemed to be from the Thousand Machines Sect."

"Such a young Golden Core cultivator, could he be the Spirit Refining cultivator, a prodigy of the Thousand Machines Sect?"

"The other one is his master, the Sect Master Qinghui of the Thousand Machines Sect?"

This cannot be blamed on Shen Xuan.

That line was incredibly powerful.

Even for the sake of his own fortune, Shen Xuan would stay away.

Shen Xuan found a water source.

Then, it transformed into a spirit snake and dived into the water.

It travels through major rivers and disappears into the East China Sea.

He summoned the Silver Horned Pegasus and flew along the sea towards Starshine Island.

On the sea, Shen Xuan was confident that he could contend with any real person.

"Sigh, if only the assassins from the Shadow Assassin Sect could come to the East China Sea to assassinate me."

However, this possibility is very low.

As an ancient assassination organization with a history spanning thousands of years, it would not make such a basic mistake.

At this moment, Shen Xuan did not want to have a direct confrontation with the Shadow Killing Sect.

Even if you win, you won't gain any spoils.

If you lose, you'll be doomed.

He has a long lifespan and abundant resources for cultivation.

There's no need to fight to the death with the Shadow Sect assassins.

Even if he were a Changsheng Zhenren, Shen Xuan didn't take him seriously.

As time goes by, the gap between him and the Immortal of Immortality will only widen.

"Living long is the most important thing. The advantage of time is in my hands."

……

Shen Xuan quietly returned to Starshine Island.

Deep within the icy cave.

A spiritual pool has been created here.

Beside the pool is a patch of lush grass, nourished by the pool's water, its verdant greenness almost dripping with moisture.

At this moment, right north of the Spirit Pool, the spiritual herbs here are shrouded in a layer of white frost.

Shen Xuan had just set up the Xuanbing Locking Spirit Array here.

"Mystic Ice Locks the Spirit!"

With a low shout from Shen Xuan, the array flags shone brightly.

Centered on him, an ice-blue array emerged from the ground, rapidly spreading and quickly locking in the water elemental energy within a radius of a hundred feet.

The water vein beneath this earth's veins was forcibly sealed and transformed by the Xuanbing Locking Spirit Array, emanating a chilling and pure icy spiritual energy.

Inside the spirit-locking array, the grassland turned into frozen soil, the air was bitterly cold, and a thick layer of ice formed on the edge of the spirit pool.

Shen Xuan was quite satisfied with this.

He took out two jade boxes, one large and one small, and extracted all thirty-odd Frostbite Cold Soul Tea seeds from them.

This spiritual tea thrives in extremely cold environments and can only grow in pure, icy spiritual veins.

Shen Xuan carefully sowed the spirit tea seeds in the frozen soil.

Logically speaking, even with ice veins, these spirit tea varieties grow extremely slowly.

The Frosty Snow Wolf guards the Frosty Cold Soul Tea Tree, which is at least a thousand years old.

Shen Xuan naturally didn't have the patience to wait.

"The secret techniques of the Demon Wood Sect are still somewhat useful."

Shen Xuan recalled a spirit-stimulating secret technique from the Demon Wood Sect.

With a flick of his sleeve, a massive vortex appeared within the icy spiritual energy.

Hundreds of thousands of colorful, heart-burning butterfly corpses fell like raindrops, evenly covering the frozen ground.

These first-tier demonic insects, having lost their essence and blood, became the best nourishment for the spiritual tea.

"Use your burned remains to nourish the extremely cold spiritual roots."

Shen Xuan cast a spell, activating the secret technique of the Demon Wood Sect.

The remains of the demonic butterfly began to melt silently, transforming into streams of pure, gentle, and strange spiritual energy that seeped deep into the frozen earth.

This spiritual energy is not the spirit of plants and trees; it carries an eerie heat that perfectly nourishes the ice spiritual veins here.

This frozen land has undergone some kind of magical change.

The spiritual energy of the remnants of the Burning Heart Demon Butterfly seeped into the frozen soil and was absorbed by the Spirit Tea Seed, breaking its dormant state.

Shen Xuan continuously cast spells on this frozen land, precisely injecting the Primordial Ice Spiritual Power into the spiritual tea seed.

Several days later, the spiritual tea seedlings showed much stronger vitality. The radicles quietly grew, and the plumules pushed out the cotyledons, emerging from the surface of the frozen soil.

Seeing that over 90% of the spirit tea varieties had sprouted new buds, Shen Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a slight movement of his consciousness, he pointed to the spirit pool.

The pool water parted.

A jade clam the size of a millstone emerged from the surface of the pool.

The clam shell opened slightly, revealing a radiant sea spirit pearl inside.

Shen Xuan took the Sea Spirit Pearl without any hesitation.

"After all these years, it's only grown this small. What a lazy person!"

Shen Xuan cursed angrily.

This jade clam had been with him for nearly a hundred years.

At first, Shen Xuan drew blood to refine it.

Later on, they stopped drawing blood and let the animals roam freely.

With the Jade Spirit Clam's rice readily available, life is pleasant, and it has now become a second-tier superior water demon.

"From then on, every morning at sunrise and at moonrise, this sacred land shall be irrigated with the spiritual water of the Spirit Pool without interruption."

"One inch of spiritual water each time. If you are careless, I will suffocate you!"

The azure sea clam was full of spirit; its shell tapped repeatedly, indicating that it had accepted the command.

Then, it opened its shell, and a stream of clear water shot out, sprinkling evenly onto the frozen ground.

The spiritual water seeped into the frozen soil, merging with the eerie spiritual energy and the icy spiritual energy to nourish the spiritual tea seeds.

Shen Xuan looked at the nascent Frostbite Tea Garden and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the Demon Wood Sect's inheritance is sinister, it is also truly effective.

With sufficient investment of resources, it is possible to cultivate a hundred-year-old spiritual plant within ten years.

"Finally, the problem of the Frostbite Cold Soul Tea has been solved."

This Frosty Soul Spirit Tea is much better than the Frosty Leaf Spirit Tea he used to drink.

It contains the essence of ice spiritual power, nourishes the soul, and enhances comprehension—these three effects are exactly what Shen Xuan needs.

Drinking this tea over a long period of time, day by day, will greatly benefit his spiritual practice.

……

After planting the spirit tea seeds, Shen Xuan wrote a letter to Master Changchun, inviting him to Xinghui Island for a chat.

The Frost-Cold Soul Tea is an ice-attribute spiritual tea. It is based on the Mysterious Ice Locking Spirit Array and is cultivated using the secret techniques of the Demon Wood Sect, with the Jade Spirit Clam watering it with spiritual water day and night.

They are quite confident in the rapid germination and growth of the Lingcha tea variety.

However, he had absolutely no confidence in obtaining the magical gourd vine from the Flying Cloud Leopard King.

This thing, like gambling on jade, is all about luck.

The properties of the magical gourd that grows are unpredictable.

It takes eight hundred years to see results, but only two hundred years to plant.

If Shen Xuan were willing to invest resources, he could use the secret techniques of the Divine Wood Sect to accelerate the ripening process in just a few decades.

"Let's ask Senior Brother Changchun to come and take a look."

Shen Xuan wrote a letter to Master Changchun, inviting him to Xinghui Island for a chat.

He prepared the finest third-grade spiritual tea and invited him to taste it.

"Husband, your two junior sisters have arrived!"

As soon as they left the secret room, Shangguan Yan'er came up to report.

Shen Xuan accepted the visiting card. In addition to Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting, there was another name on the card: Wu Yaoyu.

Wu Yaoyu's name is listed before Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting.

This also means that this person's status is above that of his two junior sisters.

"Take them to the reception room."

"Please go and entertain them first, Madam."

Nominally, the Wu sisters were his junior sisters from the Xiaogufeng lineage.

Although he didn't like him, he still had to maintain a semblance of politeness.

Shen Xuan went back to his room and changed into a set of fine clothes.

When he arrived at the reception room, the Wu sisters were already all smiles, chattering and praising Qin Yuehan.

A composed young man in white robes sat there calmly, a slight smile on his face.

"Big Brother, you're here!"

Wu Yuting exclaimed happily.

In front of Qin Yuehan, she restrained herself somewhat and was not as casual as before.

Why isn't Senior Sister Yun here?

Shen Xuan did not answer her, but instead glanced at the white-robed young man.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, senior brother. This is my seventh brother, Wu Yaoyu."

Wu Yaoyu stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Wu Yaoyu greets Senior Uncle Xuanbing."

Although he was the cousin of the Wu sisters, they were not from the same clan.

According to the rules of the cultivation world, one should still show the respect due to a junior when meeting Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense and nodded slightly.

"Your cultivation is quite good."

This is not an empty statement.

Wu Yaoyu is a wood-based cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage and whose Dao foundation and spiritual sea are quite solid.

On the surface, Wu Yaoyu has the opportunity to condense a fake elixir.

"You flatter me, Senior Uncle Xuanbing!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's praise, the usually reserved Wu Yaoyu couldn't hide his excitement.

Who is your master?

"My master is the True Man of the Mind."

"Oh, it's him."

True Man Mingxin is the lord of Haiyue Immortal City, and Shen Xuan has not had much contact with him.

However, after Shen Xuan killed Ge Chengming, this person seemed to intentionally let him go.

"Seventh Brother is here to ask Senior Brother for help."

Wu Yuting said casually.

"Tell me, what do you need Senior Brother for?"

Shen Xuan said calmly.

If it's just a small favor, doing it on the spur of the moment is fine.

"Senior brother, he has come to you to refine the Golden Core."

Qin Yuehan explained.

In front of outsiders, Qin Yuehan still addressed him as her senior brother.

"Oh. Did you bring the materials?"

Upon hearing that it was a request from someone who had worked on the Golden Elixir, Shen Xuan became interested.

He issued the task of refining the Golden Elixir on behalf of others in the main hall of the Qingyun Sect.

This is the first time someone has come to our door on their own initiative.

"Brought it."

Wu Yaoyu said.

"Seventh Brother, quickly take it out and let Senior Brother take a look!"

Wu Yuting urged.
