Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 226 Five Thunder Escape Technique (Seeking Subscriptions)

After his 100th birthday celebration, Shen Xuan re-examined his cultivation path.

The 【Divine Treasure Ocean Skill】is the main cultivation technique, and I have achieved more than half of the minor success.

The cultivation speed is slightly slow, but it has the effect of nourishing life and strengthening the body. The internal organs are transformed into a vast ocean, endlessly regenerating, and the spiritual power is as boundless as the deep sea.

With the blessing of [Water Spirit Absorption], the deficiency in cultivation speed is compensated for, and the efficiency of water spirit absorption is increased, making it even easier to do.

Shen Xuan was very satisfied with his main cultivation technique.

The three techniques, namely 【Thor's Wrath】, 【Ice Soul Cold Water Technique】, and 【Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique】, possess immense power.

He possesses a powerful physical body, enhanced by innate skills such as [Electric Dao Body], [Ice Soul Spirit Body], [Iron Bones], [Immense Strength], and [Sharp Teeth].

There are also soul-attacking skills like [Burning Spirit Demon Fire].

In addition, he had hundreds of high-quality lightning and poison talismans, enough for him to squander.

If there is any weakness, it is that it relies too much on the water elemental energy environment.

Apart from [Thor's Wrath], all other talents, skills, and spells can only unleash their full power in an environment rich in water elemental energy.

"The struggle between the Dao and the Demon is not a simple contest of magic; it is a true battle of life and death, a fight against fate!"

"Never underestimate the heroes of the world. Even if a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator is in the late stage or at the peak, and has mastered advanced demonic sect secret techniques, I may not be able to guarantee victory!"

For him, fighting was not just about killing the opponent, but more importantly, protecting himself and not damaging his foundation.

"Qingyang Prefecture is not safe; I must remain cautious!"

"While the [Soaring Through the Clouds] skill is good, its explosive power in a short period of time is somewhat lacking."

【Riding the Clouds】Suitable for long-distance travel.

Or it could be used to deal with cultivators and demonic beasts who are not good at speed.

"With the [Wrath of Thor] fully mastered, I can now precisely control lightning spiritual power. I should seek out a high-level lightning escape technique!"

Thunder spiritual power is actually derived from the spiritual power of the five elements.

The Five Thunder Orthodox Method refers to the five types of thunder techniques: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

【Thor's Wrath】is likely a type of naval mine.

Last time, when he and Xiao Keyuan went on a campaign against the Wu family, he received three heads of mid-stage Demonic Foundation cultivators.

I returned to Qingyun Sect and exchanged my points for sect contribution points.

With 30,000 contribution points, you should be able to exchange them for high-level lightning escape techniques from the sect.

Shen Xuan quickly set his goal.

……

Qingyun Sect.

The Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

Shen Xuan, who had exchanged his sect contribution points, displayed his identity jade token in front of the Transmission Pavilion, registered, and was then allowed inside.

The interior opens up into a vast square, exuding an ancient and weathered atmosphere that inspires a sense of reverence.

From the outside in, thousands upon thousands of jade walls are filled with various jade slips for inheritance.

Shen Xuan had just entered the room.

A disciple dressed in green, who was practicing Qi cultivation, came forward to greet them.

"Disciple Lu Zhengming greets Elder. May I ask what kind of inheritance Elder desires?"

These are staff members of the Transmission Pavilion, familiar with the distribution of different types of jade slips used for inheritance.

Shen Xuan's goal was clear: "Lightning Escape Technique".

"what!"

Lu Zhengming immediately opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with surprise.

"What? Is it that you don't know, or that you're unaware of it?"

"Yes, of course there is!"

Lu Zhengming quickly replied, "However, this disciple is not very familiar with the Thunder Escape Technique. Please wait a moment, Elder, while I ask the head elder to come!"

"Okay. Go and come back quickly."

Lu Zhengming left in a hurry.

Before long, he arrived with a Foundation Establishment cultivator in purple robes.

"I am Elder Deng Xiangdong, the head of the Transmission of Dharma Pavilion. May I ask who my junior brother is...?"

Shen Xuan scanned the man with his divine sense and immediately knew that he was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He then clasped his hands in a salute.

"Junior brother Shen Xuan, disciple of Master Gufeng."

He deliberately omitted the words "registered".

"Ah! A disciple of Master Gufeng?"

Deng Xiangdong looked Shen Xuan up and down several times.

He remembered that Master Gufeng had only taken in six disciples.

They were all female cultivators.

But the Shen Xuan before him claimed to be a disciple of the Lone Peak Master.

He probably wasn't lying.

This is in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion of the Qingyun Sect.

Every move of the cultivators inside was monitored by the sect's spiritual-grade Xuan Yang Mirror.

"So you're a disciple of Master Gufeng! Junior Brother Shen needs to exchange for the Thunder Escape Technique?"

"Yes."

"Senior brother, please remind Junior Brother Shen that the Lightning Escape Technique is no ordinary skill."

"The Transmission Pavilion contains dozens of lightning escape techniques, all of which are extremely precious and cannot be purchased outside the area."

"All lightning escape techniques are subject to sect restrictions, and can only be practiced by one person at a time, and cannot be passed on to outsiders."

"Even for cultivators specializing in lightning magic, it is very difficult to master the lightning escape technique in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment realm."

"The contribution points required for the Lightning Escape Technique are not low. Junior Brother Shen, you should think this through carefully."

In the end, Deng Xiangdong's tone subtly conveyed a sense of persuasion.

In his opinion, Shen Xuan might have acted impulsively and wanted to try practicing the Thunder Escape Technique.

However, the lightning escape technique, which is extremely fast, is not so easy to master!
Several of Tianlei Zhenren's direct disciples only began to cultivate the Thunder Escape Technique after breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and then solidifying their foundation for a period of time.

Gu Feng Zhenren was just an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, and Shen Xuan was not even her personal disciple.

Where did you get the courage to come to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion and exchange for the Lightning Escape Technique?!
"May I ask, Senior Brother Deng, how many contribution points does the Lightning Escape Technique typically require?"

Shen Xuan asked respectfully.

"It depends on which lightning technique you choose. The cheapest one will cost at least ten thousand contribution points!"

Deng Xiangdong looked at Shen Xuan opposite him and said thoughtfully.

Ten thousand contribution points are equivalent to a sect Foundation Establishment Pill or thirty to forty thousand spirit stones, which can only be used to exchange for the cheapest lightning escape technique.

It has to be said that Lightning Release Technique is extremely expensive.

"And the most expensive one?"

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "Junior Brother is worried that the contribution points in his identity jade pendant are not enough, so he wants to ask his fellow disciples to help him out."

"The most expensive?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Deng Xiangdong's eyes as he looked at Shen Xuan.

Upon scanning with divine sense, it was clear that he was an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment water magic cultivator.

Not only did they want to exchange for the Lightning Release Technique, but they also inquired about the most expensive price. You get what you pay for.

Among the same type of magical technique, the most expensive is often the best.

"The most expensive one seems to cost fifty or sixty thousand contribution points! Junior Brother Shen, you don't need to be so concerned about the price. When a cultivator chooses a lineage, the most important thing is that it matches their own cultivation method."

Deng Xiangdong stroked his beard, paused, and continued, "The Thunder Escape Technique is derived from the Five Elements Escape Technique. If I'm not mistaken, Senior Brother, Junior Brother Shen is a Water-based cultivator."

"Relatively speaking, water-based lightning techniques are cheaper."

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Deng. May I have the honor of seeing the Lightning Escape Technique before you?"

"Junior Brother Shen, come with me."

Shen Xuan followed Deng Xiangdong, walking towards the deepest part of the jade wall.

Deng Xiangdong only stopped when he reached the inner circle.

"That's it."

Before this jade wall lies the inheritance of the Thunder Escape Technique.

Shen Xuan's gaze was drawn to the introductions of the various lightning escape techniques.

As expected of one of the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom, this place boasts as many as forty-nine different lightning escape techniques, rarely seen in the outside world.

Shen Xuan scanned the names and descriptions of the lightning escape techniques with his divine sense, slowly browsing through them.

[Flowing Light Lightning Escape Technique], transforming the body into a flowing light, a metal-attribute lightning technique, no good!

[Thousand Machine Thunder Escape Technique], relying on the power of a wood-attribute magic weapon, wood-attribute thunder magic won't work!

【True Yang Thunder Escape Technique】, a fire-attribute thunder technique driven by true yang spiritual power, won't work!

【Thick Earth Lightning Technique】, derived from thick earth spiritual power, earth-attribute lightning magic, no good!

……

Shen Xuan walked over.

Finally, he stopped in front of a water-based lightning spell.

[Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique].

As soon as he stepped in front of the jade slip containing the technique, he felt a familiar spiritual connection.

Read the introduction again.

The Five Thunders are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In humans, they correspond to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The interaction of these five elements transforms into the Five Thunders.

The five internal organs correspond to the five thunderbolts: the liver is associated with the wind and thunder of the east, the heart with the fire and thunder of the south, the lungs with the mountain and thunder of the west, the kidneys with the water and thunder of the north, and the spleen with the earth and thunder of the center.

By drawing spiritual energy from the dantian, circulating it through the five internal organs, sensing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and understanding yin and yang, the spiritual energy transforms into five thunderbolts, forming the power of thunder itself, allowing one to fly and disappear.

Shen Xuan stared intently at the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique], his breathing becoming slightly shallow.

After mastering the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, his intuition became increasingly sharp.

It's almost instinctive to judge whether something is beneficial to him.

The Dharma Transmission Pavilion is monitored by the sect's spiritual artifacts.

Logically speaking, Shen Xuan should not be able to use the "Auspiciousness-Seeking and Misfortune-Avoiding Technique" here.

Think about it now.

The "Auspicious and Inauspicious Techniques" did not damage any buildings or jade slips in the Transmission Pavilion.

Even if it gets discovered, it doesn't matter much.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators have practiced a similar technique.

Most people are just comforting themselves.

Very few people share his keen insight.

Shen Xuan glanced at the price tag.

28,000 contribution points.

It's so expensive, be careful. I hope the sect won't blame us.

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan secretly formed a hand seal and cast the [Auspicious and Inauspicious Technique].

The fluctuation of spiritual energy was quickly noticed by Deng Xiangdong, who was standing nearby.

He frowned slightly.

But no words were spoken.

He stared intently at Shen Xuan, signaling him not to make too much noise.

Shen Xuan nodded in return.

He performed three "good fortune and avoidance of misfortune" hand gestures in a row.

The feedback was all very positive.

He then said happily, "Senior Brother Deng, let's choose this [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique]!"

"Junior Brother Shen, you should think this through. Once the techniques passed down from the Transmission Pavilion are exchanged, they are non-refundable."

Shen Xuan smiled.

He possesses a mysterious jade talisman and a golden touch.

It can also precisely control the power of lightning.

After mastering the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique], one can at least reach the minor mastery level by relying on Daoist points.

Suppressing his joy, Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Deng, I've made up my mind!"

"Row!"

Deng Xiangdong took out the magic key, opened the isolation array, took out the jade slip of the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique], and handed it to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan happily put it away.

He handed the identity jade pendant to Deng Xiangdong.

He transferred 28,000 contribution points from it.

After completing the formalities, the two walked from the inside out towards the entrance of the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

However, they hadn't gone very far.

A man walked towards Deng Xiangdong and greeted him, "Senior Brother Deng, I was just looking for you!"

"Help me exchange for that [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique]!"

Shen Xuan immediately stopped in his tracks.

Looking at Lei Yaoyang in front of him, he really wanted to say, "What a small world!"

What a coincidence!
Deng Xiangdong sighed and said, "Junior Brother Lei, come back in three months. That book, [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique], was just exchanged by a fellow disciple."

"How is that possible! It was still there yesterday. I finally managed to collect enough contribution points..."

At this moment, Lei Yaoyang seemed to have just noticed Shen Xuan.

"Hey, aren't you that... that Shen something?"

"Shen Xuan from Little Lone Peak greets Senior Brother Lei!"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath to calm the pounding in his heart and clasped his hands in a salute.

What are you doing here?!

Lei Yaoyang's divine sense brazenly swept over Shen Xuan.

"Huh, why do you have an aura of thunder on you?"

"That's right! I heard that you obtained the Thunder Talisman inheritance from the Su family ancestor at Feiyun Mountain in Qingyang Prefecture and cultivated Thunder Spiritual Power?"

"No way! The person who exchanged for the [Divine Five Thunder Escape Technique] couldn't be you, could it?!"
