Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

The night was deep, and the fish farm reeked of the foul smell of blood.

Luo Zhenhai frowned slightly, finding the smell somewhat unbearable.

He did not allow the Luo family cultivators to make a move for the time being.

Instead, he first used his divine sense to carefully explore the fishing grounds.

He relaxed after confirming that there were no powerful monsters that could threaten him.

"The fish in the fishing grounds have been almost entirely eaten by the monsters that came down from the deep mountains and marshes... but at least there aren't any monsters with high cultivation levels."

Luo Zhenhai slowly retreated to the back of the group, keeping a watchful eye on them with his divine sense.

"You can rest assured to find demonic beasts of the appropriate cultivation level to hone your skills; I will ensure your safety."

"Yes."

Everyone responded and then released their divine senses to search for suitable demonic beasts.

During this time, Xu Mo also investigated the situation of fishpond number one.

Most of the fish in fishpond number one were either dead or injured.

Only a few fish were still barely surviving because the monsters had eaten their fill.

The Golden Shield Saw Ray, on the other hand, possesses powerful defensive abilities and considerable cultivation.

In pond number one, the number of fish that survived was relatively large.

"However, upon closer inspection, it seems impossible to advance the [Scale Armor Golden Shield] again."

With a thought, Xu Mo saw a golden light appear before his eyes.

The jade talisman appeared.

[Talents: Scaled Golden Shield (Green Tier 2 0/20), Golden Light (Green Tier 2, maxed out), Sharp Golden Breath (Green Tier 2, maxed out), Fire Scythe Blade (Green 0/10)]

His gaze fell on the talent category, and he was slightly disappointed.

Since Xu Mo upgraded the [Scale Armor Golden Shield] to 'Green Tier 2'.

To advance to the next level, you need to plunder talents of the same grade ten times.

The intersection is much more difficult than before.

"In that case, I can no longer loot the juvenile Golden Shield Sawfish."

"We'll have to find an adult Golden Shield Saw Ray."

  

Xu Mo used his divine sense to scan the fishpond once more.

Adult Golden Shield Sawfish are stronger and more numerous than their juvenile counterparts.

But the number is limited.

There were only ten of them.

Moreover, the adult Golden Shield Saw Ray's cultivation level hovers between the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining.

Some cultivators were so powerful that Xu Mo was unable to kill them.

"My sword techniques are indeed powerful, but their power is reduced when they strike water..."

Furthermore, once the Golden Shield Saw Ray activates its talent, some of its sword techniques will be neutralized.

If you calculate it carefully...

There are only six Golden Shield Saw Rays at the fifth level of Qi Refining that meet the criteria for plundering.

Xu Mo lowered his head in deep thought, pondering a solution.

"It seems that we can only win by sheer volume."

Xu Mo activated the [Scale Armor Golden Shield] talent ahead of time, and used the hand seal to unleash the 'Mysterious Edge Golden Armor Technique'.

He walked slowly to the front of the No. 1 fish pond. The monsters beneath the water sensed someone approaching and immediately roared and attacked.

Huge waves surged on the water's surface, splashing water everywhere, and the water suddenly parted.

Five solid, cold water blades, as sharp as icy springs, cleaved the surface of the water and shot directly at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo did not dodge at all; his gaze simply sharpened, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him.

He gripped the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword tightly in his hand, having fully charged it.

Five water blades struck Xu Mo's sturdy golden armor, barely causing the armor to flash white light.

In contrast, Xu Mo swiftly drew his sword, and his sharp, sword-like Geng metal spiritual power was the first to break through the water's surface.

The moment the monster's blue-green tortoise shell appeared, a thin line of pale gold flashed across it.

The underwater monster was killed with a single sword strike.

[Monster: Cold Abyss Longevity Turtle]

[Plunderable Talents: Frost Abyss Water Blade (Green), Abyss Water Longevity (Green), choose one to refine.]

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback when he saw the hint given by the gilded jade talisman in front of him.

"Wonderful!"

"A mere Qi Refining Level 4 demonic beast that I killed casually actually possesses a lifespan-extending talent!"

Even Xu Mo, who had witnessed the talents of many demonic beasts, was still impressed upon learning about the Cold Abyss Longevity Turtle's [Abyss Water Longevity].

A feeling of joy welled up inside me.

Cultivating immortality and achieving eternal life.

Cultivating immortality is a process.

Immortality is the result.

Which cultivator who embarks on the path of immortality dares to say that the purpose of cultivating immortality is not to achieve longevity?

A raging fire seemed to ignite in Xu Mo's eyes as he became deeply attracted to the [Abyss Water Longevity].

They even ignored the [Frosty Abyss Water Blade] and directly chose to plunder [Abyss Water Longevity].

[Looting Successful]

[Talent: Abyss Water Longevity (Green 0/10)]

[Water Spirit Root Purity +1]

[Spiritual Root: Water 9/100]

However, Xu Mo calmed down considerably after the successful plunder.

【Yuanshui Yanshou】was always obtained from a demon beast at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Its talent level was clearly marked on the gilded jade talisman.

Green Talent.

It is impossible to achieve true immortality through natural talent.

Therefore.

After calming down, Xu Mo lowered his expectations.

Upon closer inspection.

As expected, the [Abyss Water Longevity] has certain conditions.

Moreover, it can only extend lifespan.

"However, extending one's lifespan is also something many monks dream of."

"To be able to acquire this talent from a demonic beast at the fourth level of Qi Refining is quite fortunate."

Xu Mofu glanced at the gilded jade talisman again.

"Perhaps it's because turtle-type demon beasts are all long-lived, so it's reasonable for them to have this kind of talent."

After plundering the talent [Abyss Water Longevity], Xu Mo did not feel any obvious changes in his body.

After learning about the gilded jade talisman, he finally understood the trigger conditions for [Abyss Water Longevity].

【Abyss Water Longevity】is different from the previously plundered talents; it is a passive talent.

The trigger condition is to soak the body in the abyss water while simultaneously breathing in and absorbing the essence of the abyss water from the deep pool.

Once the body stores a certain amount of the essence of the abyss water, it can achieve the effect of prolonging life.

"Abyss Water? In other words, I need to soak in the deep pool in Flowing Cloud Mountain."

Xu Mo frowned slightly, feeling that things were getting a bit complicated.

He was not afraid of the cold temperature of the deep pool.

They were wary of the monsters lurking in the deep pool.

"Only by completely concealing one's own aura and constantly protecting oneself with defensive spells can one absorb the essence of the abyss water for even a short time."

"Methods related to concealing one's aura need to be put on the agenda."

Xu Mo shook off his thoughts, brought his two fingers together, and began to wield the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword.

He wanted to take advantage of the night to kill as many monsters as possible in order to plunder more talents.

He wants both the talents of the Cold Abyss Longevity Turtle and the Golden Shield Saw Ray!

Xu Mo locked his divine sense onto one aquatic monster after another, while the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword, suspended in the void, continuously slashed.

Under the sharp and fierce sword moves.

In a short while, Xu Mo had killed all six Golden Shield Saw Rays at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

But at this moment, Luo Zhenhai, who was hidden in the darkness, could no longer sit still.

To ensure the safety of the Luo family cultivators, he kept his divine sense extended.

Seeing Xu Mo's actions, he was so angry that his white beard flew wildly, and he cursed loudly:

"Xu Mo, I sent you here to kill demonic beasts... Why did you kill my Golden Shield Sawfish, you brat!?"

Upon hearing Luo Zhenhai's angry rebuke, Xu Mo immediately turned around.

He sincerely admitted his mistake.

And we guarantee that we will not accidentally harm the Golden Shield Saw Ray again.

Luo Zhenhai suspected that Xu Mo was doing it on purpose, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He simply snorted coldly and stopped paying attention.

"Anyway, there aren't many fish left in the fish farm, so do as you please."

Xu Mo, on the other hand, was secretly delighted.

Fortunately, he made a quick decision and volunteered to come.

Otherwise, you'll miss out on this great opportunity.

Having received Luo Zhenhai's permission, they didn't care whether it was just said in anger or not.

After killing all the Golden Shield Sawfish at the fifth level of Qi Refinement in the fishpond, Xu Mo then targeted the Golden Shield Sawfish at the sixth level of Qi Refinement.

Just as he was about to unleash his sword technique, trying to slowly wear down the Golden Shield Saw Ray, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Suddenly, they noticed that the temperature around the fishing grounds had risen sharply.

Luo Zhenhai also roared out:

"Who dares to invade my Luo family's fishing grounds!"
