Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 128 The Yin Corpse Beast (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

The next day.

Shen Xuan brought the spiritual fruit to the Su family alchemist.

Master Su confirmed that it was a Creation Fruit that was nearly two hundred years old.

If not stored properly, some of the spiritual energy will be lost.

However, this fruit can still be used as the main ingredient to refine some Creation Pills.

Its effects were somewhat less than those of the sect's genuine Creation Pill.

Shen Xuan made an appointment with Master Su.

His only responsibility was to provide the Creation Fruit.

Master Su Jiadan provided other auxiliary materials.

After refining the Creation Pill, the two split it equally.

If there is an odd number of bids, the two bidders will compete, and the highest bidder wins.

It will take some time to collect the auxiliary materials.

After returning to Tingyuxuan, Shen Xuan informed Su Xueer of the news.

"No need to rush. After the Creation Pill is refined, no matter how many there are, I will always give you one."

"Thank you, husband!"

Shen Xuan dug a large pit more than three zhang deep and ten zhang in diameter by the artificial lake at Tingyuxuan.

They poured the remains of the Golden Clawed Eagle out of the beast bag and fixed it in the large pit.

The path of the Corpse Beast is extremely niche.

Creating a corpse beast takes a lot of time.

Moreover, the cost is high.

The true form of the Corpse Beast determines its combat strength.

The corpse beast has no soul.

The battle relies on cultivators to remotely control the enemy by performing the [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique] hand seals, which consumes a portion of their divine sense.

Somewhat similar to the zombies of the Corpse Refining Sect.

However, the true form of the Corpse Beast is much stronger than that of the Zombie.

It can play a greater role.

It's like a lifeless spirit pet.

Like this golden-clawed eagle.

Its strength is enough to kill an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If the corresponding rare and precious treasures are found, the strength of the corpse beast can be further enhanced.

It is a very good method of protection.

Shen Xuan first set up a spirit-locking array near the corpse of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle.

A fog illusion array was set up around it.

In this way, even if guests come to Tingyuxuan, they will not notice the existence of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle's corpse.

Subsequently, Shen Xuan extracted the essence blood of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle.

According to the [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique], after a demon beast's corpse loses its essence and blood, it must be nourished with corpse evil energy in order to be refined into a corpse beast.

The Listening Rain Pavilion was peaceful and serene; where did this aura of corpses come from?
However, there are alternative solutions.

That is, by preparing the Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid and infusing it with spiritual energy, it can also have the effect of nourishing the corpse demon.

This is quite expensive.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan is not short of spirit stones.

A new spirit-locking array has been added to nurture the corpse beast.

They then purchased a large quantity of medicinal herbs and prepared a Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid to soak the corpse of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle.

This Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid replaced the function of the essence blood of demonic beasts.

This is also the key to the [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique].

Shen Xuan estimated that 80% of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle's strength was enough to deal with most ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, it has metallic properties.

It has a natural restraining effect on wood-based cultivators.

It can compensate for Shen Xuan's weakness in dealing with wood-based cultivators.

Every three days, Shen Xuan would regularly input his divine thoughts into the corpse of the Golden Claw Divine Eagle to cultivate the art of controlling the corpse beast.

Such a massive corpse beast is not so easy to control.

"At this rate, it will take about three years for the Golden Claw Divine Eagle's corpse to transform into a corpse beast."

Shen Xuan possessed a strong divine sense and abundant spiritual power, comparable to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Suitable for practicing secret arts that require divine control, such as Corpse Beast Technique, Puppet Technique, and Mechanical Technique.

In addition to the Path of Talismans, adding the Path of Corpse Beasts can significantly enhance one's strength.

Especially in life-or-death struggles.

Having a corpse beast that is unafraid of death and has high resistance to poison and physical attacks is equivalent to having an extra life.

Corpse beasts can be used as cannon fodder in a final battle.

The only drawback is that the cost is too high.

It takes quite a bit of effort to build.

"I hope it's worth the price!"

Shen Xuan made a rough estimate.

Raising a corpse for a year, the Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid, will cost more than seven thousand spirit stones.

In addition, there are more than three thousand spirit stones from the Spirit Locking Array.

It will cost 30,000 spirit stones to transform the Golden Claw Divine Eagle's corpse into a corpse beast!

Really expensive!

"Thirty thousand spirit stones for a second-tier spirit bird that can shatter gold and break rocks as a thief, not bad!"

Shen Xuan was still looking forward to the Golden Claw Divine Eagle Corpse Beast.

The Golden Clawed Divine Eagle is an extremely powerful demonic bird, and many demonic beasts of the same level are on its prey list. Not to mention Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same level.

Even if they only exert 80% of their pre-birth strength, they are still an excellent helper.

……

A month later.

Master Su prepared the necessary materials and began refining the elixir of immortality.

Good luck.

Three Creation Pills were produced from one furnace.

During the bidding, Shen Xuan won the other half of the Creation Pill with three hundred spirit stones.

Shen Xuan had heard Lü Zhengying mention it back then.

A genuine Creation Pill from the sect is worth one thousand spirit stones.

The lower the cultivation level and the worse the spiritual root, the better the effect.

The first one works best.

Later, drug resistance developed, greatly reducing its effectiveness, or even rendering it ineffective.

The two Creation Pills in Shen Xuan's hands were incomplete.

The effect is likely to be less than ideal.

However, it is somewhat useful for those with low-grade spiritual roots who are in the early stages of Qi Refining.

When Su Xue'er received the two porcelain bottles containing Creation Pills, her face was full of surprise.

"Husband, are you going to give me both of these Creation Pills?"

"Hmm. These two Creation Pills are incomplete, and their effects are not as good as the genuine ones from the sect. You should think carefully before taking them."

Shen Xuan told Su Xue'er about the properties of the Creation Pill.

"Each person can only take one; taking more is useless. How much it can improve one's spiritual root aptitude depends on individual fate!"

"I understand!"

That night, Su Xue'er was exceptionally well-behaved.

She changed positions and used many techniques to make Shen Xuan feel comfortable.

Looking at Su Xue'er's pretty face as she exercised, Shen Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

woman!

Three days later.

Su Xue'er returned to Tingyuxuan with a happy expression.

"My husband, the Creation Pill really works!"

"I just tested it, and Ke Peng's water elemental root has increased to 21 points!"

"He now has a mid-grade spiritual root!"

Su Xueer's voice couldn't hide her joy.

"not bad."

A mid-grade spiritual root means that one can cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Even with the foundation laid, a glimmer of hope remained.

However, Su Kepeng's chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage are very slim.

In his lifetime, if he could cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining and become a high-grade talisman master, that would be his limit.

"What about you?"

"This servant?"

Su Xue'er's face turned bright red instantly.

"I gave the other one to my younger sister."

"My husband, won't you blame me?"

Su Xue'er looked at Shen Xuan with expectant eyes, like a child who had done something wrong.

"No. It's yours to do with as you see fit.

Shen Xuan didn't take the mere Creation Pill seriously, especially since it was incomplete.

How is your sister?

"Fortunately, my wood spirit root has improved from 15 points to 18 points."

It seems that the incomplete Creation Pill is still not very effective.

Su Xueer has a Wood Spirit Root of 16 points.

To upgrade to a mid-grade spiritual root of 20 points, you still need a genuine Creation Pill from the sect.

Shen Xuan wrote a letter to Qin Yuehan.

Introduce yourself about your situation in the Feiyun Su family.

I asked her to purchase a Creation Pill and have someone deliver it to me.

……

That day, Shen Xuan had just come out of the training room when he received a communication talisman.

"Patriarch Su, what brings him here?"

Shen Xuan activated the Tingyu Pavilion formation and personally greeted them.

The two chatted for a while.

The head of the Su family cut to the chase, saying, "Could Master Shen sell some second-tier poison talismans to my Su family?"

If it is a family offering, one is obligated to sell the talismans one makes to the family at a discounted price.

This is also the main reason why cultivation families hire and worship them.

Yu Zhihua, for example, enjoyed the protection of the Su family and received a monthly salary. Therefore, the magical artifacts he crafted had to be sold to members of the Su family at a lower price.

However, Shen Xuan was not a family retainer and was not required to fulfill such an obligation.

He said apologetically, "Please forgive me, Patriarch Su. The Silver Hook Serpent Venom Talisman requires the essence blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent as its raw material, which is extremely rare. I only have a few talismans left, which I use for self-defense."

The head of the Su family was greatly disappointed.

He learned from the elders of the Su family that Shen Xuan was selling second-tier high-quality poison talismans at the Xiaoyao Tower trade fair, which immediately piqued his interest.
