Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 118 The Lone Peak Master (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

After Qin Yuehan left.

Lu Zhengying shook his head and said, "Shen Xuan, you're forcing Fairy Qin to go all out!"

Shen Xuan was somewhat confused.

"Please enlighten me, Elder Lü!"

"The sect's rules are the rules in plain sight, but there are always exceptions!"

Lu Zhengying pondered for a moment and said, "If Master Yang is willing to do his best, there will be no problem."

"The question is, why should Master Yang stand up for you, a mere rogue cultivator?"

Shen Xuan understood.

When asking someone for a favor, even if you are not related by blood or marriage, you must exchange something of equal value.

Even if Master Yang helps out of consideration for Qin Yuehan.

Qin Yuehan also needs to repay this favor.

"Since things have come to this, let's wait for news!"

Lü Zhengying took her leave and went back.

In Hanyue Pavilion, only Shen Xuan remained.

"If we can obtain the inheritance of the Divine Treasure Ocean Technique, it will be worth paying some price."

Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

All his talents and spells are water-based.

It is extremely compatible with the [Divine Treasure Ocean Skill].

If it's a change of cultivation method.

Don't say he doesn't have any other good inherited techniques.

Even if it exists.

He no longer had the time or energy to make the repairs.

He is 85 years old.

We can't waste any more time!

As for whether he can join the Qingyun Sect.

If one could obtain the inheritance of the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], then it wouldn't be so important.

With his current strength and skills, he can survive anywhere.

Moreover, it will be much better than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

the reason is simple.

His strength surpasses that of most mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Even against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would still have a fighting chance.

Strength is the fundamental factor that determines a cultivator's treatment.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators settle in the Immortal City, making a living through various cultivation techniques, maintaining relative independence, and remaining outside the major powers.

However, such independence comes with conditions.

First, you need to have at least one decent cultivation skill that you can use to earn spirit stones and support your cultivation.

Secondly, although it claims to be independent, it still has to be mindful of the whims of various powerful forces, trying to please everyone and not daring to offend anyone.

Ultimately, you still need someone to rely on.

Without support or backing, one lacks confidence.

When conflicts arise, without the support of a cultivation force, one is easily bullied.

They even resorted to extortion and plunder.

But none of these were problems for Shen Xuan.

He's all alone anyway, and with his exceptional abilities, he can live anywhere without having to worry about anyone else's feelings.

If he couldn't join the Qingyun Sect, Shen Xuan planned to go to a large immortal city by the sea and continue his life and cultivation as a talisman master.

"I can plunder the bloodline talents of demonic beasts. With enough resources, I will only become stronger!"

Major sects and cultivation families monopolize the inheritance of spiritual cultivation techniques and various spiritual items.

However, in the East Sea, countless sea monsters provide Shen Xuan with cultivation resources.

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

You can either join the Qingyun Sect.

Alternatively, one could live in seclusion in the Eastern Sea Immortal City as a rogue cultivator.

Joining a cultivation family and becoming an honored member was not within his consideration.

……

The next day.

Qin Yuehan returned to Hanyue Pavilion.

Compared to her previous solemnity, Qin Yuehan was quite happy at this moment.

"Shen Xuan, your master wishes to see you!"

"You'd better seize this opportunity and do your best!"

Whether you can join the Qingyun Sect depends on your performance!

Qin Yuehan's words revealed a hint of anticipation.

Then, Qin Yuehan introduced the situation of her master, Master Yang.

Qin Yuehan was worried that Shen Xuan might not understand the sect's rules and might say the wrong thing, wasting the opportunity she had so desperately sought.

She hoped that Shen Xuan would join the Qingyun Sect.

Over the years, Shen Xuan has maintained a gentle and refined image.

Every time I look at it, I feel a strange sense of melancholy.

Mingming is eighty-five years old.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Xuan showed signs of reversing aging.

He's becoming more and more like the idealized version of herself she's imagined.

"Fairy Qin, thank you!"

"Is there a need for thanks between us?"

"I was being too polite!" Shen Xuan thought to himself.

A great kindness cannot be repaid.

If I have the chance in the future, will I offer myself to you?

Shen Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.

At this moment, he understood.

In the cultivation world, high-level female cultivators are few and far between.

People like Qin Yuehan, who are at the mid-grade Dao Foundation level, hold a very high position within the sect.

If you want to find a cultivation partner, you can cross one or two minor realms.

It's even common to cross a major realm.

Like Shen Xuan, a rogue cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Their social status was completely unequal to Qin Yuehan's.

"She doesn't even look down on Golden Core cultivators or Thunder Magic practitioners!"

Qin Yuehan was still in a state of excitement.

They didn't notice Shen Xuan's little scheme.

"Shen Xuan, did you hear what Yue Han just said clearly?"

"Listen clearly!"

"That's good!"

Qin Yuehan's emotions finally calmed down a bit.

"Fairy Qin. Now that I have established my foundation, may you address me as Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Qin Yuehan was slightly taken aback.

She quickly understood what Shen Xuan meant.

This is because they are afraid of being envied and getting into trouble.

"it is good!"

"Thank you so much, Fairy Qin!"

Looking at the gentle and refined Shen Xuan in front of her, Qin Yuehan suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

……

a few days later.

Shen Xuan followed Qin Yuehan to pay respects to Master Yang.

Qin Yuehan conjured the cloud handkerchief, which carried her and Shen Xuan, and they flew into the air towards the summit of Little Lonely Peak.

The wind was fierce, and the chill was bone-deep.

Shen Xuan activated the [Divine Hidden Ocean Technique] to resist the biting wind on the mountain peak.

In front.

Qin Yuehan's figure was graceful and light, revealing an elegant and charming curve in the wind.

The cloud-covered clouds flew higher and higher.

Looking down at the Qingyun Sect, hundreds of towering, ancient buildings came into view.

It is magnificent and imposing.

A rich spiritual aura flickered intermittently, radiating a mesmerizing light.

The most spiritually rich places in the sect are on these towering mountain peaks.

These are all third-tier spiritual lands, inhabited by the various Core Formation Realm cultivators of the Qingyun Sect.

It is also the best blessed land in the Qingyun Sect.

A red sun shines on the summit of Xiaogufeng Mountain, its light shimmering and colorful.

The golden sun seemed to hang right on the mountaintop.

"This is a third-tier blessed land?"

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes.

Even a single glance at this temple brings immense blessings.

The concentration of spiritual energy inside was a hundred times greater than in his original residence!

Shen Xuan stood outside the cave and took a deep breath.

I feel incredibly comfortable all over.

My feet felt light and my body was incredibly light, as if I could take flight at any moment.

The five elements of spiritual energy, like playful children, danced and surged freely around the cave.

"Yuehan, you've come!"

A clear, cold, and dignified female voice emanated from the blessed land, seemingly capable of penetrating all things.

The previously swirling and turbulent spiritual energy instantly became as calm as still water.

Within the seemingly empty cave, one after another, spiritual gems shone with dazzling light.

A woman dressed in a colorful phoenix-tail fairy dress sat in the middle of the cave, slowly raising her head to reveal an elegant and dignified face.

Her entire body shimmered with a dazzling seven-colored divine light, even reflecting a seven-colored glow onto the surrounding air.

This is Qin Yuehan's master, the Lone Peak True Man Yang Caiyi?

It seemed as if it could hear what Shen Xuan was thinking.

"I am Yang Caiyi."

Shen Xuan's expression changed.

I dare not let my mind wander anymore.

He knelt down and kowtowed obediently.

"Shen Xuan, a rogue cultivator, greets True Man Yang!"

"Shen Xuan, Yue Han said you are of noble character, virtuous and talented, and have the demeanor of a gentleman."

Master Yang's voice softened.

"Yuehan has never praised anyone in front of me. Let me ask you this: what she said, was it right or wrong?"
