Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 611 The Sky-Covering Strange Stone (Seeking Further Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan's expression was solemn: "Today we have only stabilized the situation temporarily, preventing the Golden Core from collapsing further. A full recovery will not be achieved in a day."

Even if it is repaired later, it will be much more fragile than an ordinary Golden Core cultivator and will not be able to use its supernatural powers.

Tian Wenxi asked, "How fragile is it?"

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "It can probably only exert one-third of its original strength. It's equivalent to an ordinary True Core cultivator."

"good."

Tian Wenxi nodded.

It's lucky that you survived.

He used the Primordial True Water and the Demon Spirit Pill to forcibly raise his cultivation level for combat.

He was poisoned by his junior sister again.

This result is quite good.

"Your condition is worse than that of an ordinary True Core cultivator. You cannot use supernatural powers and should not easily engage in combat. Even if it were a Pseudo-Core cultivator, you might not be their match."

"It's alright, I won't fight with others."

Tian Wenxi smiled calmly, a smile that carried a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, to be honest, when I was on the verge of death, I actually came to a realization. Everything I used to be attached to—fame, fortune, grudges, emotions, supernatural powers, and magical strength—was like fleeting clouds, not worth mentioning.”

"I just want to live a good life."

"Nothing matters more than life and death."

At this moment, Tian Wenxi's breath was weak, but her eyes were firm.

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

"It's good that Fellow Daoist Tian has figured it out."

He was not moved by Tian Wenxi's few words.

Just now, while treating Tian Wenxi, he used his refined water elemental power to plant a mysterious ice mark in Tian's golden core.

If Tian Wenxi wanted to harm him.

Shen Xuan could shatter his golden core and cause him to perish and vanish at any time.

……

In the training room, Shen Xuan put down the blue jade slip in his hand.

"The beginning" refers to the origin of all things.

Primordial True Water is a spiritual water of heaven and earth, formed by the condensation of the essence of water spirit veins. It can nourish all things, cultivate spiritual plants, heal injuries, and bring the dead back to life.

Tian Wenxi obtained the Primordial True Water by chance from a secret realm in the Yue Kingdom.

That secret realm opens once every sixty years, and only Foundation Establishment cultivators can enter.

Logically speaking, Tian Wenxi shouldn't be able to get in.

However, when Tian Wenxi was traveling in the Liang Kingdom's Demon Sect, he killed a Core Formation Demon Lord and obtained a blue gemstone called the Sky-Covering Stone.

After refining the Sky-Covering Stone, Tian Wenxi discovered that it could conceal one's aura, isolate one from external detection, and obscure the perception of the Heavenly Dao.

He disguised himself as a member of a cultivation family, suppressed his cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment stage, and successfully entered the secret realm after passing the sect's test.

Inside, he only used Foundation Establishment Realm demonic techniques, and could still cast spells and fight without being restricted by the laws of the secret realm.

"So, if I refine this Sky-Covering Stone, seal the Ice Technique Golden Core, conceal my aura, and enter that secret realm as a Fire Technique Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Shen Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.

That secret realm is called Lingxi Immortal Forest. It is filled with spiritual energy, babbling streams, and towering divine trees, resembling an ancient fairyland.

It is the training ground for the Foundation Establishment disciples of the thirteen sects of Yue Kingdom.

"There are still twenty years left, so the time is a bit tight."

Shen Xuan glanced at the opening time of the Spirit Stream Secret Realm recorded by Tian Wenxi.

Currently, he has only reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Twenty years later, at most, he will be in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Compared to the disciples of the Yue Kingdom sects who are in the late or perfect stages of Foundation Establishment, they have no apparent advantage.

Even securing a spot to participate in the Lingxi Secret Realm requires considerable effort.

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Xuan revealed a cyan gemstone, the Sky-Covering Stone he had obtained from Tian Wenxi.

It was only about half the size of a fist, and its color was bluish with a slightly hazy gray tinge.

Shen Xuan stared intently at it.

The surface of the Sky-Covering Stone is smooth, just like an ordinary stone.

However, when one's divine sense touched it, there was a strange feeling of being absorbed by it.

Upon closer inspection, a faint gray mist slowly swirls inside the Sky-Covering Stone.

This gray mist has the special effect of isolating divine consciousness and obscuring heavenly secrets.

Shen Xuan held his breath and focused his mind, urging his body's refined spiritual power to slowly envelop the Heaven-Covering Stone and draw it into his dantian.

The Heaven-Covering Stone trembled slightly, and the gray mist inside suddenly accelerated its flow, eventually releasing a stream of air that traveled upwards along the source of spiritual energy, quickly enveloping the Golden Core.

An unprecedented and bizarre experience emerged.

All the spiritual energy fluctuations and life force around Shen Xuan disappeared.

At this moment, when he looked inward at himself, he could only "see" a deep void.

It was as if the golden elixir had ceased to exist, and the connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had been completely severed.

"I see!"

The purpose of the Heaven-Covering Stone is to conceal the aura of the Golden Elixir.

As long as one does not use the spiritual power of the Golden Core, one can conceal one's aura and become an ordinary person.

"What a magnificent stone that can blot out the sky!"

Shen Xuan secretly praised him.

"Deceiving the heavens might be a slight exaggeration, but the effect of perfectly concealing one's aura is real."

He stood still, his spiritual energy completely vanished.

Even a Core Formation cultivator would find it difficult to detect if they scanned it with their divine sense at close range.

Shen Xuan slightly circulated his Golden Core spiritual power.

"boom!"

The gray mist surrounding the Golden Core suddenly dispersed and reformed, returning to the Sky-Covering Stone.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

The Heaven-Covering Stone is only effective when Golden Core spiritual power is not used.

……

After refining the Heaven-Covering Stone, Shen Xuan continued to heal Tian Wenxi's injuries.

He is a man of his word.

Every seven days, Tian Wenxi's golden elixir is stabilized and his internal organs and meridians are repaired.

After the seventh time.

Shen Xuan told Tian Wenxi that her injuries had stabilized.

The transaction between the two was completed.

He can leave Star Island.

"Leaving the island? I'm not leaving the island!"

Tian Wenxi said decisively.

His complexion has improved a lot.

The cracks in the Golden Core disappeared, stabilizing its foundation.

His cultivation level dropped to the early stage of Golden Core.

Moreover, he can no longer use his supernatural powers.

His current combat strength is weaker than that of an ordinary True Core cultivator. Shen Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.

Tian Wenxi solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, our deal has indeed been completed. Having survived this ordeal, I have come to a realization."

"I wish to find a place to settle down on your Starry Island."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan looked troubled: "Fellow Daoist Tian is willing to stay on Starshine Island, which is a sign of respect for me, and is a good thing."

"However, there are already many True Immortals on Starshine Island, and the Spirit Vein Dojo is overburdened. I, Shen, cannot spare a suitable Dojo to accommodate you."

Tian Wenxi waved his hand: "I only need a third-grade low-level spiritual vein to stabilize my broken golden core, that will be enough."

Shen Xuan asked seriously, "Oh? What are Fellow Daoist Tian's plans for the future?"

A carefree smile appeared on Tian Wenxi's face: "I plan to stay on Xinghui Island for a long time, marry more than a dozen young and beautiful concubines, and start a family."

"In the future, if any of the descendants of the Tian family become successful, they should challenge the leader of the Biyue Sect and avenge me!"

Tian Wenxi still couldn't forget the matter of the Biyue Sect.

Shen Xuan reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Tian should know that for us cultivators, the higher our cultivation level, the more difficult it is to continue our bloodline. It is very difficult to have offspring at the Golden Core stage."

"How could I not know about this!"

Tian Wenxi's smile carried a hint of boldness.

"Having children is difficult, but it's not absolutely impossible."

"I can live for another ten years or so. If ten wives aren't enough, I'll marry twenty. As long as they have spiritual roots and are young and beautiful, the more the merrier!"

"For the past ten years or so, I have focused on procreation, casting a wide net, and I have always been able to have a few offspring."

"With my abilities, there must be spiritual roots among my descendants."

Shen Xuan was speechless.

This is going from one extreme to another.

Previously, Tian Wenxi was devoted to one person for life.

He even lost his position as sect leader for his junior sister.

Now, I have suddenly realized the truth.

He actually wanted to marry more than a dozen concubines, have children, and establish the Tian family.

"This matter is of great importance. Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​please allow me two days to consider it."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking.

In fact, for the past two days, Shen Xuan concealed his aura and used the Sky-Covering Stone to hide his energy while tracking and observing Tian Wenxi's every move.

Even with his golden core damaged, Tian Wenxi is still not to be underestimated.

Defenses can not do without.

To Shen Xuan's surprise, Tian Wenxi did not fake it.

Besides adjusting his breathing to recover, he would conceal his aura, disguise himself as a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, and go to Tianxiang Pavilion in Xinghui Immortal City to fool around.

Each time, he would hire three young, alluring women to keep him company, and they would fight day and night, with real sex and intense passion.

"He's not picky about food!"

Seeing this, Shen Xuan was completely speechless.

No wonder he's so happy he doesn't want to leave and wants to stay in Starshine City.

As a Golden Core cultivator, he sought pleasure with the Qi-cultivating fairies of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

If word gets out, he will completely lose face for a Golden Core cultivator.

Two days later.

Tian Wenxi arrived early in the morning.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, what's your decision? I sincerely want to stay and help you."

Tian Wenxi looked on with anticipation.

"I agree to let you stay on Starshine Island. But I have a few small requests."

Shen Xuan said seriously.

"But it doesn't matter."

"First, you must abide by the laws and regulations of Starshine Island. Everyone is equal before the law. Even if you are a Golden Core cultivator, you must not break the law."

"no problem."

"Secondly, you wish to establish a family, expand your lineage, and take many concubines. I will not stop you. However, you must not abuse your power, coerce others, or act against their will."

"How could Fellow Daoist Xuanbing think such a thing! Am I such a despicable person? With my looks and qualities, countless young and beautiful female Qi Refining cultivators would throw themselves at me!"

"Third, under no circumstances shall you betray Starshine Island or do anything that would harm it. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

Shen Xuan said coldly, "I can save you, or I can kill you."

Tian Wenxi chuckled.

"Rest assured, Master Xuanbing! I only wish to have descendants. All other matters are none of my concern."

"That's good."

Shen Xuan gave Tian Wenxi a warning.

In the end, they agreed to let Tian Wenxi stay on Xinghui Island.

Therefore, he specially designated the area around Fairy Lake as his Taoist temple.

It was far from Starshine Immortal City, and there were no cultivators or mortals nearby.

It's another low-grade third-tier spiritual land.

It is suitable for a secluded life in Tianwenxi.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​which skill do you excel at: alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman formation, or plant cultivation?"

Tian Wenxi looked embarrassed.

"You're not bad at any of these things, are you?"

"Does the second tier count? My weapon-refining skills are at the mid-grade level of the second tier."

"No! Fairy Lake is a third-tier spiritual land."

Shen Xuan's meaning was very clear.

He couldn't let Tian Wenxi get something for nothing.

"That……"

Tian Wenxi took out the storage bag and poured it out.

There are only ten high-grade spirit stones.

All other miscellaneous items related to cultivation were of low quality.

Apart from the Songxi Sword in his hand, he had no other valuable spiritual items.

Tian Wenxi is truly poor.

He used his meager savings to trade for Demon Spirit Pills.

"Alright then. Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​take good care of yourself."

"When your lifespan is about to end, I will take your golden elixir as payment. I will also take care of your funeral arrangements."

Tian Wenxi remained silent for a moment.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Tian Wenxi knew that his golden core would be of great use to Shen Xuan's cultivation.

However, at this point, there's nothing that can't be given up.

If he insists on leaving it to his descendants, it will only bring disaster upon himself.

After settling Tian Wenxi in, Shen Xuan faced a pressing problem that needed to be solved.

He needs to establish a fire-attribute foundation as soon as possible.

Twenty years later, I will go to the Lingxi Immortal Forest Secret Realm in the Yue Kingdom to collect the Primordial True Water.

However, his fire spirit body is still undecided.
