Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 180 Breakthrough in Realm (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

"Patriarch Su!"

Luo Ping greeted him instinctively, his attitude respectful.

"Something's wrong!"

Upon seeing the sudden change in the Su family head's expression, Luo Ping had a flash of inspiration.

He had just activated his cultivation technique when he summoned a black tiger puppet beast to block his way.

The head of the Su family now held a gleaming golden magic sword, which he used to deflect the black tiger puppet beast blocking his path.

The sword flashed and swept past.

next moment.

Luo Ping's body froze on the spot, as if he had been frozen in place.

A bloody gash gushed from his heart, pierced by the sword light of the Su family head.

He looked down in disbelief, his right hand tightly covering the wound.

“Su Huaijing…”

"I can honestly say that I have done right by the Su family..."

"you……"

The head of the Su family was too lazy to listen to his rambling.

The sword light reappeared.

A thin line of blood appeared on Luo Ping's neck.

The head shot up into the sky.

The splattered blood was a striking crimson color.

Luo Ping did not practice any demonic arts.

His entire body was no different from that of a Daoist cultivator.

"Ridiculous! As a demonic cultivator, you've infiltrated the Su family for forty years, and you actually have the nerve to say you've done right by the Su family!"

The head of the Su family stared coldly at Luo Ping's corpse.

Then, he turned to Shen Xuan with an apologetic look on his face.

"Master Shen, I have soiled Tingyu Pavilion, I am truly sorry!"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

Luo Ping was the one who relayed the information to Patriarch Su about being a spy for the Blood Spirit Sect.

In any case, this matter should not be kept from the Su family.

Just now, Luo Ping apologized to him sincerely, took out spirit stones and asked for his forgiveness.

Shen Xuan accepted it.

He and Luo Ping indeed had no personal grudges.

However, he can only represent himself.

The Su family's attitude is none of his business.

The head of the Su family further demonstrated this through his actions.

The Feiyun Su family stood firm, clinging to the Qingyun Sect, and would never rely on the Blood Spirit Sect.

Killing Luo Ping, a spy for the Blood Spirit Sect, is the proper course of action!
……

Half an hour later.

The head of the Su family took Luo Ping's remains and left.

Shen Xuan sat in the reception room, sipping spiritual tea, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional as he recalled his interactions with Luo Ping.

Once you're caught up in it, it's not so easy to get out!

He can overlook it.

How could the Su family let him leave?

From the very beginning, Shen Xuan knew Luo Ping's fate.

There is no doubt that he will die.

It's simply a matter of who makes the move.

The Su family head's intervention salvaged some face for the Su family.

Reporting this matter to the Qingyun Sect will likely earn us some reward.

This also serves as an explanation to the other cultivation families in Qingyang Prefecture.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, your death was worthwhile."

Shen Xuan waved his hand.

A fountain of spiritual water flew out of the water bottle.

The reception room will be cleaned again.

A watery aura permeated the air.

Even with the advanced level of the [Insight Technique], not a trace of blood could be detected.

Just now, the head of the Su family informed him of the decision of the Su family elders' council.

The Su family closed the mountain for ten years.

Su Huaijing was given a major demerit and temporarily assumed the position of head of the family.

Su Jiayuan married far away from her hometown and is not allowed to return to her clan unless summoned.

In addition, he also brought a message from Su Jiayuan.

She wanted to see Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan flatly refused!
He and Su Jiayuan had no prior contact.

She was about to marry far away from home; her feelings were none of his concern.

Shen Xuan had absolutely no interest in Su Jiayuan.

He couldn't help Su Jiayuan.

I don't want to help either.

Su Jiayuan's life path had no intersection with his.

There was none before, and there's even less need for it in the future.

The head of the Su family hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

In the end, he sighed and left in shame.

Two days later, the head of the Su family personally summoned Su Xue'er and gave her a jade slip containing magical techniques.

This is a replica he made for Shen Xuan.

The [Puppet Technique] inheritance in Luo Ping's storage bag.

After killing Luo Ping, the Su family head took away his storage bag and magical artifacts. This [Puppet Technique] was Shen Xuan's reward for tipping him off.

Shen Xuan glanced through it briefly.

I casually put it into the storage bag.

With limited time and energy, he had no intention of practicing the [Puppet Technique].

In Shen Xuan's eyes, the [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique] was more valuable than the [Puppet Technique].

Although the cost is higher.

However, the Taiyin Corpse Beast's offensive and defensive capabilities are far superior to those of the Puppet Beast.

Six months have passed, and all seven of the Shadow Octopus's severed tentacles have grown back.

Having learned from the experience of the previous two corpse beasts.

The refining speed of the octopus corpse beast has been improved.

Shen Xuan estimated that the octopus corpse beast would be fully refined in two years.

In that time, he will be able to acquire a top-notch enforcer.

In the deep sea, the octopus corpse beast can contend with any mid-grade second-tier water demon.

Even for cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, it's not a problem.

"It's good that the mountain is closed!"

"Finally, it's quiet!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

……

Time flies by.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

He is ninety-three years old.

Listening to the Rain Pavilion, the practice room.

The water bottle placed on the table occasionally sprays out a jet of spiritual water containing rich water essence, which turns into water mist and fills the entire training room.

Shen Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, had his aura constantly rising.

After pausing for a few breaths at a certain point.

It accelerated suddenly until it reached a peak before stabilizing.

Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

"He's reached the second level of Foundation Establishment!"

Eight years to improve a small level.

Among Foundation Establishment cultivators, his speed is acceptable, slightly above average.

The spiritual energy within his body increased by 30%.

The power of the soul also increases by about 30%.

The Divine Treasure Ocean Technique is a water-attribute technique with certain health benefits, but its cultivation speed is relatively slow.

However, Shen Xuan has enhanced various talent skills and added a new auxiliary cultivation talent called [Water Spirit Absorption].

Over time, his cultivation speed has been considered quite fast.

"It seems that I can steadily advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment within thirty years!"

He started too late.

He laid the foundation for his path at the age of eighty-five.

However, being able to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before the age of 115 is already quite an achievement.

Qin Yuehan had such good conditions, yet it took her thirty-two years of Foundation Establishment to solidify her Azure Wood Spirit Body before she advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Let's look at the mysterious jade talisman again.

【Shouyuan: 93/238】

A single small hurdle increased his lifespan by two years.

By the time he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, his lifespan will be close to three hundred years!

It takes sixty years longer than a normal Foundation Establishment stage!

"Stay calm, don't be reckless!"

Shen Xuan speculated that as his [Life Extension] talent skill increased, his lifespan would also increase.

It is possible for someone in the Foundation Establishment stage to break through to the age of three hundred.

[Cultivation Technique: Minor Success of Divine Treasure Ocean Technique (618/800)]

The [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique] and [Water Spirit Gathering Yuan Technique] have been mastered to the Great Perfection, and the [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique] has been mastered to the Minor Perfection.

Among the innate skills.

[Water Control], [Self-Healing], [Breath Concealment], and [Invisibility] are all perfected.

[Water Escape], [Water Repeller], [Critical Strike], [Iron Bones], [Longevity], [Insight], [Immunity to All Poisons], [Silver Hook Poison], [Overturning Rivers and Seas], [Infinite Strength], [Avoiding Misfortune and Seeking Good Fortune], [Deep Sea Lurking] are all mastered.

[Thor's Wrath], [Water Spirit Absorption], [Overturning the Sea with Lightning], and [Soaring Through the Clouds] are at a minor level; [Gliding Through the Air] and [Sharp Teeth] are at a proficient level.

After improving one's cultivation level, one can also improve the proficiency of one's innate skills.

Talent skills at the Perfect and Great Mastery levels increase at an extremely slow rate.

However, some players who have reached a certain level still have room for improvement.

His main cultivation techniques are the Divine Treasure Ocean Technique and the water technique, Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique. His two innate skills, Thunder God's Wrath and Water Spirit Absorption, are the key areas he focuses on cultivating.

[Overwhelming Lightning], [Gliding Through the Air], and [Sharp Teeth] should be abandoned.

Furthermore, the chances of obtaining high-quality Thunder Talismans and Poison Talismans are increasing as they approach completion.

[Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique] Mastered.

The number of Yin-devouring demonic insects in the insect bag has grown to over a thousand.

More than a hundred of them reached the mid-grade of the first rank.

The [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique] has also made progress, with the Divine Eagle Corpse Beast and the Teng Snake Corpse Beast achieving minor mastery.

Once the octopus corpse beast is successfully refined, its strength will reach a new level.

Perhaps, we can go on an adventure and hunt in the depths of the East China Sea.

After consolidating his cultivation for seven days, Shen Xuan emerged from seclusion.

Outside the training room.

The White Lotus Fairy stood guard at the entrance, holding a sword to protect the Dharma.

Upon seeing Shen Xuan emerge, he was overjoyed.

"Shen Lang, you've broken through?"
