Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 207 Worldly Encounters (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan was terrified and felt a chill run through his body.

He has reached the minor completion stage of the [Ice Soul Spirit Body], and his ice resistance is extremely high.

Now, however, I'm shivering from the cold.

This chill is not just a feeling of coldness originating from one's own body.

There is also an immense fear deep within one's soul.

Living beings have an innate fear of death.

The ice dragon that Han Yu Zhenren conjured at his fingertips truly contained the power of the Ice Soul.

Previously, the ice dragon that Shen Xuan created through his magic appeared to be magnificent and awe-inspiring, but in reality, it was all show and no substance.

More often, they are forcibly condensed using spiritual power.

The ice dragon that Han Yu Zhenren had conjured was very small, only about the size of a finger.

The light blue dragon's body radiated divine light, and a terrifying aura that could freeze everything emanated from it, directly suppressing all life force within a radius of dozens of miles.

The once vibrant and spiritually rich Xiaogu Peak instantly became as silent as an icy sea.

Shen Xuan had no doubt.

With a light tap of his jade finger, Master Hanyu turned anything that stood in the way of the Frost Dragon into dust.

Shen Xuan silently circulated his internal energy to resist the cold, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, I felt a little happy.

Once he has mastered the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique], will he also possess such power?
However, at this moment, he still hoped that Master Hanyu would stop.

If a fight really breaks out, it's best to wait until he leaves.

In a battle between real cultivators, he, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage 2 cultivator, doesn't even have the right to be a spectator!
The miniature ice dragon was growing larger and larger, poised to unleash its power.

"Junior Sister Hanyu, stop! This matter has nothing to do with Junior Sister Gufeng!"

A majestic and powerful voice resounded from the sky.

Shen Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

The expert I was expecting has finally arrived.

really.

The next moment, Lingxiao Zhenren appeared in front of Hanyu Zhenren.

Master Hanyu glared fiercely at Master Lingxiao.

With a soft shout: "Withdraw!"

The Frost Dragon suddenly shrank and retracted into her slender fingers.

"Ling Xiao, you handle this matter!"

"If you can't satisfy me, I won't give up!"

"Oh, Junior Sister Hanyu, how dare you threaten Senior Brother Lingxiao! He is the head of the Enforcement Hall, known for his impartiality. Are you interfering with law enforcement?"

The voice of Master Gufeng rang out.

Immediately afterwards, amidst the swirling seven-colored rays of light, the Lone Peak Immortal slowly emerged from the blessed land.

"Humph!"

Master Hanyu snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Along the way, all the vegetation was frozen into ice sculptures.

Clearly, Master Hanyu was extremely angry.

The aura it casually emits can freeze several miles away.

"Hurry back to Qingyang Prefecture!"

A soft shout came from the side.

Shen Xuan woke up with a start.

How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him possibly participate in the conflicts between true cultivators!

He drew his Azure Water Sword and flew away on it without looking back!

……

Longmen Market.

Juxianlou.

VIP box.

Shen Xuan, who never drinks alcohol, sipped the spirit wine from a small cup to calm his nerves.

Ever since he left the Qingyun Sect, his heart had been pounding wildly.

I haven't fully recovered yet.

The access control bell rang.

Upon opening the door, Lü Zhengying hurriedly entered the private room.

Pour the spirit wine for Shen Xuan.

I poured myself a glass too.

"Senior Brother Shen, let me toast you!"

Shen Xuan silently accepted the cup and finished the spiritual wine.

"Junior brother is truly impressed by Senior Brother Shen!"

Lu Zhengying's eyes were full of admiration.

Shen Xuan still doesn't quite understand.

"Junior Brother Lü, it's just exchanging for an ice magic book, is it really that serious?"

Lü Zhengying smiled.

"Senior Brother Shen may not know this, but only two people live on Cold Jade Peak. One is True Person Cold Jade, and the other is her personal disciple, Liu Bingyu."

"Only one direct disciple? That's a bit too few!"

The chances of a Foundation Establishment cultivator condensing an inner core are very low.

Even if one is personally instructed by a True Immortal of Core Formation and has sufficient cultivation resources, only one in ten can actually form a Core.

Master Hanyu only accepted one direct disciple.

If one cannot condense an inner core, once True Person Hanyu passes away, the inheritance of Hanyu Peak will change hands.

"Who can argue with that! However, True Person Hanyu is an ice magic cultivator, a rare find. And she has a bad temper!"

"This time, Master Hanyu brought out his true ice technique in order to select a personal disciple."

"Senior Brother Shen has already become a disciple of Master Gufeng, and even exchanged for her true ice technique. How do you expect her to feel about that?"

"Moreover, the entire sect knows that True Person Hanyu and True Person Gufeng are enemies. Senior Brother Shen, aren't you just adding fuel to the fire?"

Shen Xuan sighed deeply.

"I do not know!"

Why didn't you tell me?

Lu Zhengying shook his head: "Junior brother, how do you know so many secret techniques? Why do you have your eye on the inheritance of True Man Hanyu?"

"Ugh!"

Shen Xuan never expected that there would be so many intricacies involved in simply exchanging for a True Person's Secret Technique!
Lu Zhengying asked curiously, "Senior brother, can you really cultivate the true ice technique passed down by Master Hanyu?"

"Give it a try."

Shen Xuan remained ambiguous, not giving a definitive answer.

"By the way, what about the things I asked you to buy?"

"I've bought everything, it's all here."

Shen Xuan took the storage bag from Lü Zhengying and scanned it with his divine sense.

It was filled with low-level cultivation items, including various elixirs, talismans, magic tools, array flags, and seeds of spiritual plants.

Seems like a lot.

Actually, it's of very low quality and cheap.

There were only a little over a hundred spirit stones in total.

"Are they okay?"

Shen Xuan asked about Ding Yuyao and her adopted son and daughter.

"Don't worry, they're all fine. My junior brother sent a trusted disciple to secretly protect my sister-in-law, nephew, and niece."

"Having learned of Senior Brother Shen's formidable reputation, how could the Tianqiao Sect dare to be negligent? Even their Guardian Celestial Master has been promoted to the mid-stage of Qi Refining!"

Shen Xuan nodded: "That's good. Thank you for your help, Junior Brother Lü."

We agreed to meet again in thirty years.

In the blink of an eye, twelve years have passed.

Shen Xuan plans to return to Hongcheng County to visit Ding Yuyao.

……

Deep in the white clouds.

The Silver-Winged Teng Snake Corpse Beast stretched out its silver wings and darted incessantly among the clouds.

In an instant, it covered dozens of miles!
With the advancement of [Soaring Through the Clouds], under the guidance of Shen Xuan's divine sense, the Silver-Winged Teng Snake Corpse Beast unleashed its immense demonic power, drawing upon the clouds and mist for propulsion, and its flight speed increased faster and faster.

Dawn is breaking.

As the golden sun rises, it bursts forth with countless golden arrows.

The Silverwing Teng Snake Corpse Beast accelerated its flight.

The outline of Hongcheng County gradually became clear.

"arrive!"

A glint of light flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes.

Then, in the sky, he collected the Silver-Winged Teng Snake Corpse Beast.

It transformed into a streak of azure light, swooping down from the depths of the clouds. It reached the entrance to Hongcheng County.

Shen Xuan concealed his aura and lowered his cultivation level to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The inner city of Hongcheng County, the Shen residence.

Old Liu, the former coachman, now Manager Liu, is resting on a grand chair in the courtyard, his eyes half-closed.

As you get older, your sleep schedule becomes irregular.

I got up too early this morning.

Now I'm actually feeling a bit sleepy.

"Master, the newly appointed Magistrate Chen requests an audience with your wife!"

A burly man walked up to Steward Liu, holding a visiting card in his hand, and whispered something to him.

"Let him go back and wait! We'll talk about it when Madam has time."

"Yes, master!"

"Try to be more tactful!"

"Yes, master."

After the burly man left.

Manager Liu yawned and lazily got up.

A new day is about to begin.

At this moment, a handsome young man in brocade robes walked out.

"Master!"

"Uncle Liu, my mother wants to visit my grandfather and maternal grandmother."

"Alright, I'll have Little Li prepare the carriage!"

Just as Steward Liu went to the outer courtyard, he saw his apprentice rushing in again.

"master!"

"Why panic!"

"Master, a distinguished guest has arrived!"

Steward Liu glared at him.

"At the Shen residence, all guests who come are distinguished guests!"

"This time is different!"

The apprentice glanced at the handsome young man, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "Young Master."

"What distinguished guest?"

"This subordinate does not know this person's identity. However, he is very likely a Celestial Master!"

Manager Zhao's expression hardened.

Immortal Master!

They can be seen everywhere in the Immortal Cultivation Market.

But in a secular place like Hongcheng County, it is rarely seen.

The mortal world is barren of spiritual energy, making it unsuitable for cultivators' spiritual lives.

In the past, in places like Hongcheng County, the guardian immortal masters were all at the early stage of Qi Refining.

Out of respect for Ding Yuyao, Tianqiao Sect promoted her to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Young master, I'll go out and take a look!"

Manager Liu strode towards the main gate.

In sight, a familiar figure was admiring the layout of the Shen residence with great interest.

Steward Liu's pupils dilated rapidly.

My heart was pounding!

"Master Shen!"

He opened his mouth, and with all his might, finally managed to shout it out!

"Quickly, go and inform the madam that the master has returned home!"

Steward Liu kicked his apprentice hard.

Then, he said to the handsome young man who had just come out, "Young Master, it's the Master!"

The handsome young man stood there, stunned.

His lips trembled for a long time before he finally called out, "Father!"

……

this day.

The Shen residence was filled with joy.

The master has returned home!
The news spread very quickly.

at this time.

The inner courtyard hall.

The door was tightly closed.

Steward Liu personally guarded the entrance.

The numerous servants and maids of the Shen family, arranged in order of rank and status, were all neatly gathered at the front.

The Shen family was the most prestigious family in Hongcheng County.

The servants and maids who work here not only receive high monthly allowances, but also enjoy great prestige when they go out.

They couldn't see what was happening inside the main room.

However, I was extremely excited.

Just now!

Many people saw the young master and Steward Liu leading a distinguished scholar in a blue robe into the mansion.

They called that man "Master"!
The master of the Shen family is none other than the legendary Immortal Master Shen!

From the first day they entered the mansion, they knew that the master of the Shen family was an extraordinary immortal master.

His status is even higher than that of the guardian immortal master of Hongcheng County!
Inside the main room.

Shen Xuan and Ding Yuyao sat upright in the large chair in the middle.

The two young masters, Shen Xiuxing and Shen Xiuyan, are kowtowing to their father.

"Get up!"

Shen Xuan's face was full of smiles.

He glanced at Shen Xiuxing.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with bright eyebrows and sword-like eyes, exuding a heroic spirit. He was full of true energy and had already entered the realm of a second-rate master at a young age.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiuyan, standing beside him, was serene and gentle, her beautiful eyes gazing at Shen Xuan with curiosity, like autumn water.

"what!"

Shen Xuan waved to Shen Xiuyan.

"Xiuyan, come here."

Shen Xiuyan stepped forward gracefully.

In the mundane world, spiritual energy is extremely weak.

During the [Insight Technique], Shen Xiuyan's body unconsciously absorbed and released spiritual energy.

"What's the matter, husband?"

Ding Yuyao asked.

"Is there something wrong with Xiuyan?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Shen Xiuxing.

“Xiuyan has spiritual roots, they won’t be very good, but she can still cultivate.”

Shen Xuan estimated that Shen Xiuyan was likely to have an inferior spiritual root.

"what!"

Ding Yuyao was startled at first.

Then came a burst of ecstasy.

Shen Xiuyan was also pleasantly surprised.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

"This matter must not be revealed! I will make arrangements later!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

A inferior spiritual root is indeed a bit lacking.

Even in the mundane world, it's not easy to find a mortal with spiritual roots.

Shen Xuan also had a poor spiritual root back then.

"Open the door, Xiuxing. Give the order to throw a big banquet tonight and invite your parents-in-law back for a get-together!"

"Yes, father!"

Shen Xuan looked at Shen Xiuyan with gentle eyes.

Anyone with spiritual roots can cultivate.

With his help, and by using the Creation Pill to improve the quality of her spiritual root, Shen Xiuyan might be able to cultivate to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

This is also her limit.

With Shen Xiuyan and Shen Xiuxing by his side, Ding Yuyao could focus on his cultivation.
