Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 206 Frozen All Things (Seeking Subscriptions)

Upon arriving at the Qingyang Sect's residence, two fellow disciples said, "Senior Brother Shen, we'll go help Senior Brother Xiao organize the files. You can go back to your room and rest first."

"Ok."

Shen Xuan didn't say much.

He went to the room that Qingyun Sect had prepared for him.

Many things are better left unsaid, even if you see through them.

Just now, he sensed a slight danger from that fairy from Tianxiang Pavilion.

Considering the background of Tianxiang Pavilion.

The fairy's identity is becoming increasingly clear.

However, neither Senior Brother Xiao nor Patriarch Zhao said anything.

Shen Xuan naturally wouldn't point it out.

He had no enmity with the Hehuan Sect.

Why provoke them?

Both disciples had clear objectives.

They said they were helping Senior Brother Xiao organize the files.

Actually, he was just using this opportunity to curry favor with Junior Sister Miao and Junior Sister Liu!

As for the fellow disciples at the Zhao family's banquet, they'll probably be fighting the demons all night long.

Some are even one-to-two or one-to-many.

All of this has nothing to do with Shen Xuan.

After resting in the room for the night.

The next morning.

After leaving messages for Xiao Keyuan and the Zhao family head via talisman, Shen Xuan left Tiger Ridge.

He summoned the Silver-Winged Teng Snake, soaring through the clouds and flying straight towards the Qingyun Sect.

three days later.

Shen Xuan entered the Qingyun Sect and arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.

Inside the main hall of law enforcement, there was an elder on duty. After verifying Shen Xuan's identity jade pendant and merit spirit contract, he inquired about the purpose of his merits and hurriedly went to the inner hall.

Before long, the elder on duty returned to the law enforcement hall.

"Junior Brother Shen, please come with me. The Hall Master wants to see you."

Shen Xuan was suddenly startled!
The head of the Enforcement Hall is named Yuan Jizong, a Golden Core cultivator with the Daoist name Lingxiao Zhenren, and one of the major figures of the Qingyun Sect.

How could a simple matter of exchanging merit points have alarmed him?

Ever since meeting Master Wuchen, Shen Xuan has felt a sense of fear towards Core Formation Realm cultivators.

The vast difference in strength made him feel as if he were being looked down upon by a god and powerless to resist.

He was powerless to resist a Core Formation cultivator.

What's more, the person who wants to see him now is a Golden Core cultivator!
In fact, his strength is much greater than that of Daoist Wuchen!
"Senior brother, why does Master Lingxiao summon me?"

"Senior brother, you may not know. The hall master summoned you, so he must have heard of your name."

Shen Xuan asked no further questions.

I kept recalling it in my mind.

It seems he has never done anything illegal or disorderly.

After joining the Qingyun Sect, he was cautious and rarely engaged in magical battles with others.

He only targeted the Zheng family of Mingyang Island, the pirate He Qing, and Sun Zhengyang of Tianfu City.

These actions were understandable and did not violate the Qingyun Sect's rules.

Shen Xuan followed the elder on duty to Lingxiao Zhenren's blessed land.

Outside the cave entrance, towering trees stand tall, and many exotic flowers and herbs are planted, filling the air with fragrance, like a fairyland.

The spiritual energy here is even richer than that of Master Gufeng Zhenren's blessed land.

"Junior brother, please wait a moment while I go and inform the hall master."

The elder on duty went in and quickly returned, asking Shen Xuan to go in on his own.

After Shen Xuan entered, he saw Lingxiao Zhenren sitting upright in the center of the cave, looking like a god. He quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Disciple Shen Xuan of Xiaogufeng pays respects to True Person Lingxiao."

"No need to be polite!"

"Yes!"

Shen Xuan raised his eyes and stood respectfully.

A divine sense landed on his body.

Sure enough, it was that feeling of being completely seen through again.

"So that's why you want to exchange for the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] after you've condensed the Ice Soul Spirit Body."

Shen Xuan was secretly alarmed.

Even a perfected [Concealing Breath Technique] cannot completely prevent a Golden Core cultivator from prying into their mind.

"Did Lone Peak know that you exchanged for the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique]?"

Shen Xuan was completely stunned.

He was merely a disciple of Master Gufeng.

According to custom, Master Gufeng did not need to pass on his teachings to him.

He exchanged sect techniques on his own without needing to report to his master.

Many Core Formation cultivators don't even have time to care for their own disciples.

Where would they find the time and energy to inquire about the cultivation of their nominal disciples?

"I came in a hurry and haven't had time to inform my master yet."

"Remember to report. Now you may leave!"

Shen Xuan was worried for a long time.

In the end, it was just such a small matter.

Why did Master Lingxiao specifically remind him?
Shen Xuan was full of questions, but dared not ask any more.

They bowed respectfully and left the blessed land.

They followed the elder on duty back to the main hall of the law enforcement department.

The identity jade pendant and the jade slip containing the "Ice Soul Cold Water Technique" were prepared and handed to him.

"Senior brother, may I speak to you in private?"

The elder on duty nodded slightly and led him to an office room.

Shen Xuan closed the door and erected a protective spiritual shield.

He took out a storage bag containing a thousand spirit stones and stuffed it into the hand of the elder on duty.

"Senior brother, is there anything strange about this [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique]?"

"Junior brother is overthinking it. This is the true ice technique passed down by Master Hanyu."

Shen Xuan looked completely bewildered.

The elder on duty reminded him, "Junior brother, did you inform your master before exchanging for this method?"

It's that line again!

Shen Xuan then realized what was going on.

[Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] No problem!

The problem is his identity!
A disciple of Master Gufeng, practicing the true ice magic of Master Hanyu.

Is there a problem with this?

The elder on duty said no more.

Shen Xuan had a vague guess in his heart.

"It's a dangerous place, so we'd better slip away."

Unfortunately, he had just stepped out of the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.

He was then stopped by his junior sister, Qin Yuehan.

Her pretty face turned cold.

"Senior brother, why didn't you inform Yuehan when you returned to the sect?"

"Oh. I came in a hurry, I was just about to go see Junior Sister Qin!"

Shen Xuan rubbed his forehead and took out a bag of insects.

"These are the Yin-Devouring Demon Insect eggs, along with the breeding jade slip, specially prepared for you."

The Devouring Yin Demon Insects require cultivators to use their essence and blood to hatch them before they can recognize a master and control them.

Shen Xuan had stored over a thousand insect eggs, which he originally intended to give to Qin Yuehan.

The jade slip for raising insects was also painstakingly copied by him.

Qin Yuehan's expression softened slightly.

"Master wants to see you!"

Shen Xuan asked, "Did Master want to see me about something?"

Qin Yuehan glared at him.

"You've done a good job!"

Seeing Shen Xuan's confused expression, Qin Yuehan said coldly, "Who in the sect doesn't know that Master never associates with True Person Hanyu!"

"You, on the contrary, spent so much sect merit to secretly exchange for Han Yu Zhenren's ice magic true teachings."

"If you want to learn ice magic, why don't you tell your master?"

"Besides, why would a water-based cultivator like you learn ice magic? It's a waste of time and effort, a losing proposition, so why bother!"

Qin Yuehan raised the cloud handkerchief.

"Let's go! Yuehan will accompany you to see your master and see if he can plead for you."

Shen Xuan silently boarded the cloud-covered robe. Qin Yuehan was truly anxious.

In the past, he was always called "senior brother".

Now, they speak without thinking, directly referring to him as "you".

It conveyed a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Honestly, Shen Xuan hadn't done anything wrong.

Is it really that important to exchange for a secret technique passed down by a Core Formation cultivator?
Even Master Hanyu doesn't care.

Master, why bother with such a trivial matter!

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

I just entered the blessed land of Master Gufeng.

Then I heard my master's voice.

"Hey, Shen Xuan, come here."

As the seven-colored divine light faded, a hint of doubt appeared on the face of the Lone Peak Master.

Shen Xuan stepped forward respectfully.

"Go a little further forward!"

Shen Xuan took more than ten steps forward.

They were only five zhang away from their master.

They stopped walking.

Within Shen Xuan's sight.

Master Gufeng walked slowly, and the void shimmered with seven-colored divine light, enveloping him in layers.

Shen Xuan's divine sense and vision were obscured by the seven-colored divine light.

However, a powerful divine sense entered his body.

"Strange! Shen Xuan, when did you condense the Ice Soul Spirit Body?"

"Reporting to Master. Three months ago, while cultivating with my eyes closed, I suddenly sensed that the spiritual energy within my body could be transformed into ice-attribute energy."

“It’s normal for a water-based cultivator to develop ice-based spiritual power. However, if I remember correctly, Shen Xuan, you seem to be over ninety years old.”

Ninety-seven years old.

Master Gufeng remained silent for a while.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Shen Xuan, I don't care what kind of opportunity you have."

"Twelve years ago, I ordered you to guard Feiyun Mountain and support the Su family for thirty years."

"A virtuous person follows the Way and does not give up halfway. Eighteen years later, when you return to the sect, I will make you my personal disciple."

"Yes! Shen Xuan will obey Master's decree."

Shen Xuan bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite."

After receiving permission, Shen Xuan stood up and looked up.

Amidst the seven-colored divine light, the face of the Lone Peak Immortal was obscured.

"Shen Xuan, return to Qingyang Prefecture immediately!"

"Yes!"

Shen Xuan immediately turned around and quickly left his master's dojo.

At that moment, he had a vague realization.

Both being Nascent Soul female cultivators, Gu Feng Zhenren and Han Yu Zhenren harbored deep resentment towards each other.

Shen Xuan secretly exchanged for the true teachings of Han Yu Zhenren's ice magic.

Those unaware of the inside story might think that Shen Xuan received instructions from Master Gufeng.

Such behavior appears to be Master Gufeng provoking Master Hanyu.

The problem is that Hanyu Zhenren is the number one female cultivator in the Qingyun Sect.

Its combat strength is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

Master Gufeng is definitely no match for him.

Shen Xuan's actions have indeed brought trouble to Master Gufeng.

However, Master Gufeng treated his disciples well.

After seeing that Shen Xuan had condensed the Ice Soul Spirit Body, they stopped asking questions.

Instead, they ordered Shen Xuan to leave the sect immediately.

"Master is a good person."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

However, he had just come from the Taoist temple of Master Gufeng.

Then we saw snow falling heavily on Little Lonely Peak.

"How could this be?"

Shen Xuan was greatly alarmed.

Just now, when he went in, Little Lonely Peak was still in full bloom, brimming with spiritual energy.

now.

Shen Xuan suddenly remembered something.

"No way!"

anyway.

This is the Daoist temple of a Core Formation Realm cultivator from the Qingyun Sect.

There's no way anything could possibly happen.

Think of this.

Shen Xuan took a deep breath and quickened his pace.

The heavy snow suddenly stopped.

This moment.

The world froze.

A slight chill spread throughout the small, solitary peak.

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes.

next moment.

The temperature plummeted, and Xiaogu Peak was instantly frozen solid.

Everything suddenly lost its vitality.

Shen Xuan stood still.

A thick layer of ice armor appeared on his body, completely enveloping him.

A transparent figure seemed to suddenly emerge from the void and came straight to Shen Xuan.

"So you are the one who has exchanged for my true method?"

A clear, cold voice reached Shen Xuan's mind.

Shen Xuan's entire body was frozen, making it impossible for him to speak.

Using spiritual power to transmit sound.

"Shen Xuan, disciple of Xiaogu Peak, pays respects to True Person Hanyu!"

"Humph!"

Master Hanyu waved his hand gently.

The ice armor on Shen Xuan's body cracked inch by inch.

"Your aptitude is acceptable. Since you are practicing my true methods, then take me as your master and become my nominal disciple!"

Shen Xuan inwardly groaned.

I dare not refuse, much less agree.

They had no choice but to shut up.

"What? You're unwilling? Then why did you exchange your true power for mine!"

"Master Hanyu said angrily."

At this moment, a seven-colored cloud flew out from the Taoist temple of the Lone Peak Master.

Soon, the colorful clouds surged and gently covered the entire small, solitary peak.

The ice melts, and all things revive.

"Gu Feng, come out here!"

"No!"

There was a hint of smugness in Gu Feng Zhenren's voice.

Master Hanyu was furious, but he disdained to attack a junior.

Shen Xuan stood to one side, trembling with fear.

They feared that if Master Hanyu were to become enraged, innocent bystanders would be affected.

"Qingyun Sect is a famous Daoist sect in the Song Kingdom, and Hanyu Zhenren is a Core Formation Realm cultivator. They won't really fight, will they?"

However, Shen Xuan wasn't entirely confident either.

Although Han Yu Zhenren is a Core Formation Realm cultivator, she is a woman.

When a woman gets angry, she becomes unreasonable and illogical.

As expected, when True Person Hanyu saw that True Person Gufeng was not leaving her cave, she broke her ice-sealing spell.

In her fury, she slowly extended a slender finger and pointed it at the Daoist temple of Master Gufeng.

At the fingertips, the outline of a miniature ice dragon faintly appeared, exuding a terrifying aura that could freeze everything.
