Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 166 Secret Realm Spots (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

"Fellow Daoist Shen, the Phoenix Perch Mountain Blazing Sun Secret Realm has opened, and there are quite a few third-tier spiritual items inside..."

On this day, puppeteer Zhuang Ping found Shen Xuan and invited him to go to the Phoenix Perch Mountain Blazing Sun Secret Realm to search for third-tier spiritual objects.

Recently, Shen Xuan's talisman skills have improved significantly. After advancing his lightning talisman and poison talisman to the minor mastery level, his success rate in creating talismans has increased dramatically, and he is not short of spirit stones.

He still had 130,000 spirit stones in his storage bag.

I wasn't particularly interested in going to the Blazing Sun Secret Realm to explore for third-tier spiritual creatures.

If it's really that good, why don't the patriarchs of the three major cultivation families in Qingyang Prefecture go in?

Instead, they joined forces to control the entrance to the secret realm and sell entry slots.

The entry fee for a single cultivator is as high as three thousand spirit stones!
Once inside the secret realm, life and death are irrelevant.

After leaving the secret realm, ensure your safety.

For a time, it attracted many Foundation Establishment cultivators from Qingyang Prefecture to head to the Blazing Sun Secret Realm.

As for cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, they are basically excluded.

Going in would be suicide.

A few days ago, the White Lotus Fairy told Shen Xuan the inside story.

The high-level spiritual items in the Blazing Sun Secret Realm had long been swept away by the True Person of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Only some scraps and leftovers remained.

It was given away for free to the Zhou, Zhao, and Wu families, so that they could extract the remaining value.

The sect's master has a very high standard.

There are always some oversights.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators obtained high-level spiritual items in the Blazing Sun Secret Realm.

Such as worn-out spiritual artifacts, third-tier spiritual plants, spirit beast eggs, incomplete cultivation techniques, etc.

Some of them can fetch a good price.

Like a dilapidated spiritual artifact that only a true human can wield, its spiritual energy is scattered and it has no combat power.

However, if you send it to the weapon refining workshop and break it down into materials, you can exchange it for tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Actually, the Blazing Sun Realm is not a true secret realm.

It was merely the cave dwelling where the Fiery Sun Immortal once resided.

The true secret realms exist in the crevices of space, and are subject to the rules of the universe, opening only periodically.

The secret realm has a unique environment, is isolated from the world, and is full of spiritual energy.

Therefore, many rare and spiritual creatures grow there.

These spiritual items for cultivation come in a wide variety of types and grades.

Among them are many third-tier spiritual items, which even Golden Core cultivators can use.

In the world of cultivation, the most common legend is that an ordinary rogue cultivator, with boundless luck, obtains an opportunity from a secret realm and soars to the heavens.

And this Blazing Sun Secret Realm.

It's just a tool used by the Zhou, Zhao, and Wu family ancestors to make money, under the guise of a secret realm.

In Shen Xuan's view, it was purely a matter of gambling on the lottery.

They also had to risk their lives and fortunes.

"Don't go!"

Shen Xuan refused outright.

Zhuang Ping was greatly disappointed.

He is a second-tier puppeteer.

Their reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities are decent, but their combat effectiveness is somewhat weak.

After all, it's difficult to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same level when you're distracted by controlling a second-tier puppet.

Unless he possesses a strong spiritual sense and can manipulate multiple second-tier puppets to overwhelm the few with the many.

"Master Shen, you're being far too cautious!"

"If we join forces, no one in the Blazing Sun Realm will be our match!"

Zhuang Ping wanted to persuade him further.

Shen Xuan waved his hand, signaling the guests to leave immediately!

After Zhuang Ping left.

Shen Xuan returned to his bedroom in the inner courtyard.

On the soft bed, the White Lotus Fairy's long, jade-like legs were raised high as she lay prone, flipping through an exquisite invitation.

"She certainly knows how to make excuses!"

The White Lotus Fairy tossed down the invitation.

"Shen Lang, don't go see her!"

"She's up to no good!"

Shen Xuan walked over.

The White Lotus Fairy naturally embraced him.

It was like a dream.

Whisper in his ear.

"Shen Lang..."

The sweet, coquettish voices made Shen Xuan unable to suppress a smile.

Outside, another storm suddenly broke out.

A delicate little flower silently endures the ravages of the storm.

In the room.

The wind and rain were equally fierce.

a long time.

The White Lotus Fairy smiled charmingly, looking at Shen Xuan with eyes full of admiration: "Shen Lang, you are so kind!"

Shen Xuan gently pushed Bai Lian Fairy away and put on his clothes.

"It's getting late, you should go back!"

"No way! Bai Lian will stay here tonight!"

"Whatever! I'm going to practice!"

The White Lotus Fairy, barefoot, leaped in front of Shen Xuan.

"do not go!"

She obediently nestled into Shen Xuan's arms. "Bai Lian was wrong, Shen Lang, please don't be angry!"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

I didn't keep the appointment.

"This is the third invitation sent by Fairy Magnolia."

The White Lotus Fairy said softly, "Shen Lang, Wu Yulan is not a good person!"

As she spoke, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

The White Lotus Fairy ultimately did not stay overnight at Tingyu Pavilion.

It is said that the third young master of the Qian family in Tiancheng Prefecture is still deeply in love with her.

He immediately agreed to the thirty-year trial period proposed by the White Lotus Fairy.

The White Lotus Fairy had something to consider.

The Qian family of Tiancheng Prefecture is indeed a good marriage prospect.

Shen Xuan is out of the question.

She needed to leave herself a way out.

The purpose of this visit was to discuss with Shen Xuan the possibility of exploring and searching for treasures in the Blazing Sun Secret Realm together.

He was also rejected by Shen Xuan.

They could only return in resentment.

……

The following day, Shen Xuan concealed his presence, changed his appearance, and went to Phoenix Perch Mountain alone.

He had no intention of exploring the Sunlit Secret Realm.

But they wanted to see what the independent cultivators who came from there gained.

Let's see if we can find a bargain.

After all, the Blazing Sun Secret Realm is a true person's cave dwelling.

There are quite a few third-tier spiritual items inside.

A perfect-level [Concealing Breath Technique] is enough to deceive the three patriarchs of the Zhou, Zhao, and Wu families.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the Blazing Sun Secret Realm, I registered under a false name.

Guarding the entrance to the secret realm was none other than the patriarch of the Zhao family.

With the three patriarchs taking turns guarding the area, and the Qingyun Sect as their backing, independent cultivators dare not act recklessly here.

In the open space at the entrance, many independent practitioners set up stalls.

Shen Xuan used the [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique] and the [Insight Technique] to examine everything.

"It's a third-tier spiritual item, but unfortunately it's incomplete!"

"The price is really expensive!"

A broken, fragmented magical bell is priced at a whopping 50,000 spirit stones by the stall owner!

It's more expensive than a brand new magic weapon.

Shen Xuan stopped in front of a stall.

A small section of blood-red vine emitted a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"Fellow Daoist, what kind of spiritual plant is this?"

The stall owner glanced at Shen Xuan a few times and then smiled.

"A freshly grown Tier 3 spirit plant, the Bloodthirsty Vine, from the Blazing Sun Secret Realm!"

"What is the use?"

Shen Xuan wasn't very interested in spiritual plants because their growth period was too long.

"It grows very quickly when watered with the essence blood of demonic beasts! Don't underestimate this small section; it will grow into its complete form in just over a hundred years!"

The stall owner enthusiastically introduced, "The Blood Crystal Fruit produced by the Bloodthirsty Vine is extremely effective in replenishing blood and energy and strengthening the physical body!"

"I have a connection with you, fellow Daoist! How about this, I'll sell it to you cheaply! Fifty thousand spirit stones!"

Shen Xuan turned and left.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, don't go! Forty thousand, forty thousand spirit stones, I'll sell it to you cheap!"

"Thirty thousand! That's the lowest I can go!"

Shen Xuan didn't even turn his head.

It takes over a hundred years of nurturing and watering with the essence of demonic beasts to have a chance of producing a Blood Crystal Fruit.

How much free time must he have to do something like that!

A hundred years later, he will be over two hundred years old.

If one fails to condense an inner elixir, one will die of old age.

He's here to pick up bargains, not to become a plant grower!

I walked around and looked at dozens of stalls, but still came up empty-handed.

"These days, nobody's stupid!"

At this moment, the Zhao family patriarch came to Shen Xuan.

"What is your name, fellow Taoist?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

Having gained nothing, there's no need to conceal my identity.

He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Shen Xuan of Qingyun Sect greets Brother Zhao!"

"Ah! It's Fellow Daoist Shen, you..."

The expression on the Zhao family patriarch's face was quite interesting.

He and Shen Xuan had met once before.

If Shen Xuan hadn't introduced himself, he really wouldn't have recognized him.

After a few breaths.

The Zhao family patriarch's expression returned to normal.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, there are no good goods at these stalls!"

"Five days from now, the three of us will bring the best goods from the secret realm to the Xiaoyao Tower for auction! If Fellow Daoist Shen is interested, don't miss the day!"

"So good!"

Shen Xuan smiled broadly.
