Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 133 Mighty Water Ape (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Unfortunately, Shen Xuan had no intention of starting a family or building a career.

His long-term goal is to attain immortality.

There is only one medium-term goal.

He will elevate his Water Spirit Root to the Heavenly Grade and attempt to form his Core.

In the short term, it's an impact on the mid-term foundation building phase.

In addition to daily practice.

Shen Xuan would occasionally visit Qingyang Market.

Let's see if we can collect the essence blood of a second-tier water-attribute monster.

Try using the [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique] to pick up bargains at the independent cultivator's stall.

It was a way to relax and unwind during my spiritual practice.

As a top cultivator, Shen Xuan is considered a top figure in Qingyang Market.

With the success of the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman], the Su family treated him with extreme respect.

As a result, Su Xue'er's status in the Su family rose sharply.

From the head of the Su family down to all the elders of the Su family, as well as all sorts of members of the Su family, they all treated Su Xue'er with kindness and spoke to her softly.

Those who considered themselves to have a good relationship directly begged Su Xue'er to sell them a few [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talismans].

Su Xueer politely declined all offers.

She only had three cards.

It was her husband's reward for her hard work and diligent service morning and night.

She knew that this was an extremely precious second-tier lightning talisman.

It was intended to be used as betrothal gifts for the younger brother's wedding and dowry for the younger sister.

More and more sisters are trying to build connections with me.

Later on, her uncles and elders all stepped forward.

Helpless, Su Xue'er followed Shen Xuan's advice and hid in Tingyuxuan, staying inside the door and not coming out.

In three months, Shen Xuan produced more than 300 [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talismans].

After handing over 250 sheets to the Su family as agreed, Shen Xuan kept more than 60 sheets for himself.

Eight of them are premium thunder talismans with doubled power.

With the addition of second-tier lightning talismans and second-tier poison talismans, Shen Xuan's protective methods have been enhanced.

However, he remained anxious.

Master Gufeng Zhenren is merely a common Core Formation cultivator.

With a casual strike, he could neutralize 70% of his attack power.

This put him under a lot of pressure.

Moreover, he only practiced water magic.

The other four methods were all abandoned due to time, energy, and resources constraints.

In a waterless region, his strength would be greatly reduced.

He wrote to Qin Yuehan again.

Ask her to find out about water-attribute spatial magic treasures.

Spatial artifacts are rare and expensive.

The storage bags that cultivators usually use are a very common type of spatial magic tool.

However, the internal volume is too small.

Even the best ones are no more than ten cubic meters.

It couldn't meet Shen Xuan's needs.

He told Qin Yuehan in the letter.

The larger the volume of the water-attribute spatial magic item needed, the better.

Ideally, it should possess the magical property of being able to change size at will, allowing it to conceal its form.

If it also has the effect of refining water spiritual energy, that would be even better.

In her last letter, Qin Yuehan had someone deliver a genuine Creation Pill from the sect.

After Su Xueer took the medicine, her Wood Spirit Root aptitude increased from 16 points to 21 points.

He instantly entered the ranks of those with mid-grade spiritual root aptitude.

That day, in the Su family's main hall, Su Xue'er burst into tears of joy after having her spiritual root aptitude tested.

This made her peers extremely jealous and envious.

Many people were secretly heartbroken, weeping until dawn, regretting that they had not seized the opportunity.

Who would have thought that this elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator, Master Shen, would be so generous!
Moreover, he is so good-looking that he doesn't look like he's over eighty at all. He looks more like a well-read scholar in his thirties, with an elegant demeanor in his speech and manner.

Another point is that they are loyal and righteous.

Apart from Su Xue'er, he did not summon any more concubines for more than two years.

……

At this moment, Shen Xuan was anything but refined.

Opposite him stood the White Lotus Fairy in a white dress.

This time, Fairy White Lotus showed great sincerity by offering the essence blood of a second-tier water-attribute demon beast.

Mighty Water Ape.

A descendant of the ancient water monster Wuzhiqi.

The White Lotus Fairy, representing the Zhou family, traded thunder talismans with Shen Xuan.

"The essence and blood of the entire Mighty Water Ape are condensed in this storage bag, and can be exchanged for thirty Thunder Talismans."

The White Lotus Fairy opened her mouth wide like a lion.

"Ten!"

Seeing that the White Lotus Fairy's cherry-like mouth was about to open in argument.

Shen Xuan added another sentence.

No haggling. If it's not working out, then forget it!

The Mighty Water Ape is not a rare demonic beast. Ten Thunder Talismans are equivalent to three thousand spirit stones.

Shen Xuan's offer was not low.

"Brother Xuan! If you do this, it will be very difficult for them to explain when they go back!"

"Add some more!"

The White Lotus Fairy used that move again.

Grab Shen Xuan's arm and shake it hard.

"Stop, stop shaking it!"

Shen Xuan was actually a little afraid of the White Lotus Fairy's move.

She clearly didn't use any seductive arts.

It always inexplicably brought certain erotic scenes to his mind.

Shen Xuan looked at the fair-skinned, delicate face of the White Lotus Fairy.

He sighed softly to himself.

"Add five more! If not, forget it!"

"I know that Brother Xuan is a good person!"

The White Lotus Fairy smiled radiantly as she made a deal with Shen Xuan.

Once the transaction was completed, her pretty face turned icy cold, and she regained her noble and reserved demeanor.

"I will come again!"

After seeing off Fairy Bailian, Shen Xuan took the essence blood of the Great Water Ape and entered the training room.

After a flash of golden light appeared on the mysterious jade talisman.

[Plunderable Talents: Immense Strength, Storm-Making, and Adaptability to Water]

There is some overlap between 【兴风作浪】 and 【翻江倒海】.

[Improvisation with Water]: Utilize the power of water to unleash and restore your abilities.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xuan chose the [Unlimited Strength] talent.

When faced with an indecisive situation, increasing your strength talent skills is always a good idea.

【Daoyun: 152】

A month later.

Shen Xuan plundered all the Mighty Water Ape bloodline talents.

[Talent: Immense Strength, Proficient (3/200)]

【Daoyun: 1688】

[Spiritual Root: Water 55/100]

Shen Xuan unleashed his [Unlimited Strength] talent skill, and as if recharging, his body was instantly filled with power.

Legend has it that the ancient water monster Wuzhiqi possessed immense strength.

Shen Xuan practiced it for a bit, and found that whenever he used [Immense Strength], he would gain skill points.

However, each time he uses it, he becomes completely exhausted.

Shen Xuan simply added all the Daoist points.

[Talent: Immense Strength (Minor Mastery) (12/800)]

Shen Xuan gave it a try.

The pure power has more than doubled!
"Now, compared to ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, perhaps we can be evenly matched?"

Shen Xuan carefully sensed the effect of the [Immense Strength] talent.

He has never fought with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage are usually divided into four realms: early, middle, late, and perfect.

Within a minor realm, the spiritual power differs by 20-30% at each level.

These gaps can be bridged through training methods.

However, when crossing a minor realm, the difference in spiritual power is doubled!
It has a great impact on the combat power of cultivators.

Shen Xuan's current physical strength, spiritual power, and divine sense are comparable to those of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

With the help of various talents, his strength increased greatly, and his offensive and defensive capabilities multiplied several times.

but.

Late Foundation Establishment cultivators each possess secret techniques and formidable magical treasures; none of them are to be underestimated.

If it really comes to a life-or-death battle, the outcome is still uncertain.

"Let's just play it safe for now."

He reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Neither side was willing to make a move unless they were absolutely certain of a kill.

Merely winning a victory without dying can lead to endless troubles.

Everyone here is at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Who doesn't have connections, background, and connections?

For this reason, Foundation Establishment cultivators are particularly cautious when they take action.

A Core Formation True Person is similar to a nuclear weapon in the previous life.

Its main function is deterrence.

They rarely take direct action.

When a Core Formation cultivator makes their move, it will be a war that wipes out entire sects and clans.

There is no room for maneuver.

Every Core Formation cultivator is a pillar of the sect, consuming a great deal of the sect's cultivation resources, and cannot be allowed to fail.

The departure of a Core Formation cultivator signifies a complete breakdown in relations.

Everyone will exert all their strength to completely eliminate the other side before they stop.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was unaware.

His thunder talisman had just been handed over to the Su family when it ended up in the hands of a holy son of the Demonic Sect.
