Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 212 Frosty Soul (Please Subscribe)

He Jiangwei and his two companions are of average ability.

With Shen Xuan's current strength, killing the three of them would be a piece of cake.

"Three magical treasures and a strange fire—I don't know if they can salvage the losses."

According to Shen Xuan's understanding, the Crimson Rainbow Sect was at fault first.

His self-defense retaliation, which resulted in the loss of only one arm of Liu Wangjing, the instigator, was perfectly reasonable.

When the Crimson Rainbow Sect found out, no matter how angry they were, they could only apologize to him.

This is the advantage of having a strong background.

Otherwise, no matter how capable you are.

Could he possibly be stronger than a Core Formation cultivator from a sect?

Sects are the ruling class in the cultivation world.

He was extremely arrogant towards independent cultivators.

Wherever there is an excuse to be unreasonable, then we will be unreasonable.

If we're being reasonable, then it's a last resort.

Within the Qingyun Sect, Shen Xuan was truly awestruck by the strength of a Core Formation True Person.

This caused his Dao heart to fluctuate slightly.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are far too weak against Core Formation cultivators and are easily defeated.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan adjusted his mindset in time.

To make a big deal out of a topic.

They regained their confidence by learning from He Jiangwei and the other two.

It's not his cup of tea.

Rather, the gap between the Core Formation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm is like an insurmountable chasm.

"Only by condensing the inner core can one truly escape the bottom tier of cultivators!"

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

"From now on, try to avoid contact with Core Formation cultivators!"

Shen Xuan was powerless to resist a Core Formation cultivator.

This gave him a sense of helplessness, as if his life and fortune were controlled by others.

After returning to Tingyuxuan.

Shen Xuan instructed Su Xue'er to hang up a sign that read "Master Xuan is in seclusion".

He devoted himself to spiritual practice.

The [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] was obtained at a high price.

For this, Master was banished to Little Lonely Peak by True Person Hanyu.

This also made Shen Xuan determined to cultivate this ice technique properly.

on the other hand.

Shen Xuan also has a giant shark, a three-legged water fox, a stone poison fish, and three portions of water spirit blood to refine.

There is also information on the location of the three second-tier water demons.

Two months later.

New skills have appeared on the mysterious jade talisman.

【Ice Soul Cold Water Technique: Beginner (16/100)】

This ice magic is incredibly powerful and can also attack a wide area of ​​effect.

This is why casting spells is complex and consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

Cultivation is time-consuming and laborious, and the experience points increase more slowly than a snail.

However, Shen Xuan still needs to learn.

This is a true transmission of the Core Formation technique, an ice magic of extremely high grade.

If he hadn't plundered the [Ice Soul Spirit Body] bloodline talent, he wouldn't have been able to even begin learning it.

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan quickly formed a magic seal with his fingers.

After two breaths.

He pointed.

A beam of ice-like light shot out from the fingertip and struck the black iron dummy in the training room.

"boom!"

The ice-like rays of light turned into a cloud of extremely cold ice mist upon contact with the black iron dummy, which quickly spread in all directions.

A chill ran to the bone.

Everything that the ice fog touches is covered with a layer of ice.

Next, let's look at the black iron dummy used for training.

In just a few breaths, it was completely frozen and turned into an ice sculpture.

The entire training room was bitterly cold, with the temperature dropping to tens of degrees below zero.

Shen Xuan walked up to the black iron dummy.

He stabbed her with the Azure Water Sword.

The ice layer on the outside of the black iron dummy was found to be harder than steel.

The spot hit by the icy water rays emitted wisps of white mist, and the chill was bone-deep.

The fine dust nearby was condensed into tiny ice-like crystals, which fell like snowflakes.

Shen Xuan conjured a dark spirit fish and struck the icy iron dummy.

The result was just a shallow dent.

"As expected of the secret transmission method of a Core Formation True Person."

Shen Xuan only used three-tenths of his spiritual power to unleash this icy beam of light.

The [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] is still in the beginner stage.

Its power left Shen Xuan in awe.

In the later stages, it will definitely surpass the [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique].

It also has a freezing effect.

Even if an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot be directly frozen to death, it can still affect their ability to circulate spiritual energy.

In the early stages, its power is not as great as the [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique], but it can be used as an auxiliary spell and combined with other techniques.

Shen Xuan had witnessed the power of Han Yu Zhenren's [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique].

It has the grandeur of a thousand miles of frozen land.

It is said that even Golden Core cultivators within the sect are unwilling to easily confront him and would rather retreat than yield.

"Luckily, I'm a lucky one with a cheat code!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

There is a mysterious jade talisman that can store Dao points when plundering the bloodline talents of demonic beasts.

High-grade techniques like the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] can be quickly improved in the early stages using Daoist Points.

Otherwise, don't even think about mastering it in less than ten or eight years!
Shen Xuan currently has no Dao Points, but he still has three portions of Water Fairy Blood!
Jadeite clam, some can be provided each month.

After two months of arduous training, Shen Xuan emerged from seclusion and took a relaxing hot bath.

In the bathroom, he pulled the White Lotus Fairy along and enjoyed a passionate moment in the water.

afterwards.

The White Lotus Fairy handed him two phonographs.

One of them was left behind by Xiao Keyuan, a senior brother from the sect.

Not long ago, he visited Tingyuxuan.

Seeing that Shen Xuan was in seclusion and cultivating diligently, they did not disturb him.

In the phonograph, Xiao Keyuan instructed Shen Xuan to go to Tiger Ridge after he left the pass.

He follows the instructions of the True Man, and you should consult him on matters.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Shen Xuan understood immediately.

This is the Crimson Rainbow Sect coming to our door.

He established connections with a certain True Person in the Qingyun Sect, enabling Xiao Keyuan to handle the aftermath.

The other lingering talisman was left by a Foundation Establishment Fairy from the sect.

The person did not come in person; instead, a servant from the sect was sent to deliver it.

"Liu Bingyu?"

Upon seeing the signature on the phonograph, Shen Xuan thought for a long time before remembering that this person was the only direct disciple of Master Hanyu.

Moreover, this lingering talisman was sealed with the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique].

Shen Xuan turned on the listening app.

Liu Bingyu asked him, "How is your cultivation of the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] going?"

If there are any difficulties, you can send a trusted person to Hanyu Peak to find her.

She is willing to give away her personal insights on spiritual practice free of charge for him to study.

Is there really such a good thing in the world?
Shen Xuan didn't think much of it.

He immediately wrote a letter to Lü Zhengying.

He was instructed to personally seek out Liu Bingyu and request her insights into the cultivation of the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique].

What the future holds, that's a matter for the future.

With such good bait in front of him, Shen Xuan had no reason not to take it.

a few days later.

Shen Xuan rode the Silver-Winged Flying Serpent, soaring through the clouds and mist.

Before long, he arrived at the Zhao family's residence at Tiger Ridge. Perhaps his Silver-Winged Flying Serpent was too conspicuous.

The Zhao family quickly activated the grand formation and sent a Foundation Establishment cultivator to escort him inside.

……

Zhao family land.

The residence of a cultivator from the Qingyun Sect.

Inside the secret room.

Xiao Keyuan had a private talk with Shen Xuan.

As Shen Xuan had guessed.

Unable to resolve the situation, He Jiangwei and his two companions had no choice but to report the facts to the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

The three were slinked away and ordered to return to their clan.

Another Foundation Establishment cultivator was assigned to guard Qinglong Bay Market.

However, the three of them were, after all, Foundation Establishment elders of the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

After his natal magic weapon was taken away by Shen Xuan, his combat power was greatly reduced.

A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Crimson Rainbow Sect intervened and contacted the higher-ups of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Sincerely admit your mistake and apologize.

The Qingyun Sect is currently fighting against the Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect.

In order to unite these small and medium-sized sects, the high-ranking officials in power tried to appease the situation.

He offered kind words of comfort to the Core Formation Real Person of the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

The decree was issued, ordering Xiao Keyuan to find Shen Xuan and return the magical artifacts of He Jiangwei and the other two.

"Pay it back for nothing?"

"How could we let Junior Brother Shen suffer a loss! The Crimson Rainbow Sect has offered 100,000 spirit stones in compensation."

"Only one hundred thousand?"

Shen Xuan was not satisfied with the price.

These three magical treasures are of considerable value.

Especially He Jiangwei's flying sword, a mid-grade second-tier sword, could sell for at least 60,000 spirit stones.

He hasn't even asked the Crimson Rainbow Sect for compensation for their emotional distress yet!
"Junior Brother Shen, let it go! The sect is in trouble too. We must focus all our efforts on dealing with the Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect."

Xiao Keyuan advised.

The junior brother in front of him really surprised him.

When he received the briefing, he was still somewhat incredulous.

Although the overall strength of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Crimson Rainbow Sect is not as good as that of the Azure Cloud Sect.

However, Shen Xuan broke through the market's grand formation on his own, easily defeated three Foundation Establishment elders of the Crimson Rainbow Sect, and took away their magical treasures.

This made him look at him in a new light.

The briefing was very detailed.

Shen Xuan seems to have obtained a legacy similar to corpse refining.

Used on monsters.

They forged three corpse beasts, each possessing the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A second-tier talisman master, skilled in lightning and poison talismans, and also knowledgeable in the art of corpse refining.

A real talent!
Although the foundation is being built at an advanced age, its potential is limited.

Even with just these few special skills, he should not be underestimated.

"All right!"

The sect's higher-ups issued a decree, and Shen Xuan dared not disobey.

He took out three magical treasures and exchanged them for 100,000 spirit stones from Xiao Keyuan.

"Junior brother suffered a huge loss this time!"

"Oh right, there's also a strange flame?"

"What strange fire? There's no such thing!"

Shen Xuan vehemently denied it.

Liu Wangjing was the instigator.

Shen Xuan severed his arm, so he must have harbored resentment.

How could he possibly return the strange fire to him?

"Forget it! Junior Brother Shen, don't sell it to your fellow disciples, lest you give them something to talk about."

Xiao Keyuan was just asking casually.

Seeing that Shen Xuan denied it, they stopped asking.

The imperial edict from the highest level only mentioned three magical treasures.

The matter of the strange fire was not mentioned at all.

It's likely that they also intended to compensate Shen Xuan.

Qingyun Sect was, after all, one of the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom.

A true disciple was unjustly humiliated by a small or medium-sized sect.

We definitely can't swallow our anger.

It is only right that we should return victorious in self-defense and capture some spoils of war.

There's no reason to force them to hand it over.

The compensation paid by the Crimson Rainbow Sect was actually the redemption price for the three magical treasures.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Xiao!"

After leaving the secret room, Shen Xuan turned around and found the Zhao family head.

"Brother Zhao, I have obtained a strange fire by chance, and I will sell it to you first."

Upon hearing that it was a strange fire, the Zhao family head's eyes lit up.

Alchemy families are most lacking in exotic flames.

"Please have Master Shen take it out for a look."

"Go to the secret room."

"it is good!"

Inside the Zhao family's secret chamber.

The Zhao family head stared at the frozen Liuyun Xingyan with an extremely complex expression.

This situation is obvious at a glance.

The strange fire was stolen by Master Shen from a certain cultivator.

"Could you thaw it so that Zhao can examine it carefully?"

"no problem."

Shen Xuan withdrew his Ice Soul spiritual power, and the Flowing Cloud Star Flame slowly ignited.

The Zhao family head used fire magic to envelop the flowing star flames layer by layer, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed its power.

"The quality of the strange fire is decent. I wonder how much Master Shen would charge for it?"

"Brother Zhao, let's all be straightforward. Name your price. If it's acceptable, I'll sell it to you; if not, I'll turn around and leave."

The Zhao family head pondered for a moment and then said, "Fifty thousand spirit stones."

Seeing that Shen Xuan was still hesitating, the Zhao family head explained, "This price is not low. Although strange fire is rare, this Flowing Cloud Star Flame is not too rare. It can be found in many Flowing Cloud Star Stone veins."

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan nodded.

He believed that the Zhao family head would not dare to lower the price too much.

After the transaction was completed, the Zhao family head tried to persuade Shen Xuan to stay, but he declined.

Within Qingyang Prefecture, the struggle between the Daoist and Demonic factions raged fiercely.

The situation is not optimistic.

Shen Xuan finally understood.

The Qingyun Sect was not in a hurry to make a move.

Currently, not a single direct disciple has been dispatched.

The only purpose was to have ordinary disciples like Xiao Keyuan stationed at Qingyang Prefecture to stabilize the situation.

They intentionally allowed the demonic cultivators to grow stronger.

It seems they were harboring a bandit to enhance their own prestige.

Wait until the time comes.

You will receive personal instruction from a true master, slaying demons and monsters, honing your Dao body, and reaping merits and cultivation resources.

Don't talk about him.

Even Xiao Keyuan, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, was merely a vanguard pawn of Qingyang Prefecture.

I wonder if the Blood Spirit Sect has the same plan.

If that's the case, then Wu Yulan and Nangong Guang are very likely to be cannon fodder in the first wave.

"strength!"

"I need to improve my strength as soon as possible!"

Shen Xuan didn't want to waste a single day.

Only by rapidly enhancing our strength can we gain the initiative in the changing landscape of Qingyang Prefecture.

He doesn't want to become a stepping stone for a real person's direct instruction!

Especially that guy surnamed Lei!
