Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 227 The One-Year Bet (Please Subscribe)
Lei Xiu was already rare.

Lei Yaoyang knew all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Qingyun Sect.

Those with good lightning magic talent mostly become disciples of Tianlei Peak.

Logically speaking, no one has recently broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and wants to exchange for the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique].

Except for Shen Xuan right in front of me!
This person, a rogue cultivator, inexplicably received the Thunder Talisman inheritance.

For some reason, Lei Yaoyang felt very uncomfortable whenever he saw Shen Xuan.

How could he know?

At this moment, in Shen Xuan's mind, he was already a useless person.

Lei Yaoyang has a Golden Elixir Master.

Shen Xuan couldn't possibly have ambushed and killed him.

The Qingyun Sect set up a magic demonstration arena for its disciples to resolve disputes.

Each performance is monitored on-site by a Core Formation Realm expert to ensure that those involved in the fight do not perish on the spot.

Severe injuries are inevitable and occur frequently.

When he has achieved success in his cultivation, Shen Xuan will issue a challenge to Lei Yaoyang.

On the performance stage, he was severely injured and crippled.

It would at least cripple most of their cultivation, cutting off their hope for the path to enlightenment.

Lei Yaoyang could refuse.

However, given Lei Yaoyang's personality and temperament, he would not back down when he received Shen Xuan's challenge.

In that case, he would have no future in the Qingyun Sect.

Shen Xuan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Yet, a hint of murderous intent still leaked out.

This made Lei Yaoyang feel extremely uncomfortable.

He had always disliked Shen Xuan.

At this moment, he blurted out: "Shen Xuan, the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique] is a secret thunder technique of the sect. You are just a rogue cultivator, an old Foundation Establishment cultivator with shallow foundation. What virtue or ability do you have to dare to exchange for this technique!"

"Hurry up and return it to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion!"

Lei Yaoyang's voice was a bit loud.

The fellow disciples nearby cast curious glances at them.

Shen Xuan stopped and stared intently at Lei Yaoyang.

This face made him extremely uncomfortable.

suddenly.

As if he had figured something out.

Shen Xuan smiled dismissively and shook his head slightly.

"Senior Brother Lei, you are mistaken!"

"The Transmission Pavilion offers a wide array of inheritances. Any disciple of the sect, regardless of their background, can exchange them for the corresponding sect contribution points."

"Is Senior Brother Lei setting new rules for the Transmission Pavilion?"

Shen Xuan's words were very harsh.

You, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to criticize and tamper with the rules of the Transmission Pavilion.

Where is the head of the Dharma Transmission Pavilion?

If Shen Xuan remembered correctly, the Dharma Transmission Master in charge of the Dharma Transmission Pavilion was named Yin Xiang, and was a Golden Core cultivator of the sect.

His status is no less than that of the Heavenly Thunder Immortal.

Shen Xuan didn't know if the Hidden Manifestation Master was present.

If it reaches his ears, he will surely reprimand Lei Yaoyang.

The affairs of the Transmission Pavilion are not for a disciple of Thunder Peak to interfere with!

really.

She knew perfectly well that Shen Xuan was trying to sow discord.

Deng Xiangdong's face still turned ashen.

"Junior Brother Lei, watch your words!"

"Junior Brother Shen is willing to contribute sect contribution points to purchase the magic inheritance in the Transmission Pavilion, regardless of whether he succeeds in cultivation."

The Transmission Pavilion is only responsible for selling the inheritance of magical techniques; it cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to successfully cultivate them.

It's not just the Qingyun Sect.

No sect has a rule that guarantees you will learn the skill after you sell it.

Lei Yaoyang dared not directly confront Deng Xiangdong.

“What Senior Brother Deng said is true. Junior Brother just feels that the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique] is a secret technique of the sect, and my master spent a lot of time and effort imprinting it.”

"Shen Xuan's foundation is shallow, it would be a pity to waste him."

His words still betrayed some resentment, and he invoked the name of the Heavenly Thunder Master.

The "Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique" is a legacy of the Qingyun Sect, but the jade slip containing the technique was imprinted on his master, the Heavenly Thunder True Man.

The time and energy of a true master are so precious, how could they waste it on imprinting magic jade slips?

Usually, after the Chuanfa Pavilion sells out, the information is reported up the chain of command.

When the real person has time, they will re-imprint new spell jade slips.

The law should not be passed lightly.

For example, the "Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique".

Lei Yaoyang is a disciple personally taught by Master Tianlei.

We still need to use contribution points to purchase items from the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

Shen Xuan sighed and said, "Senior Brother Lei, are you trying to shatter my Dao Heart?"

"I just spent all my savings to buy this Thunder Escape Technique inheritance. But Senior Brother Lei said that I am not worthy to cultivate this Thunder Escape Technique inheritance!"

"Destroying the Dao heart of a fellow disciple, Senior Brother Lei, you're too ruthless!"

These words caused an uproar among the fellow cultivators who were watching.

"Yes! Junior Brother Shen is right. If everyone is guaranteed to succeed in cultivation, why bother opening the Dharma Transmission Pavilion!"

"Exactly! We all rely on our own hard work and diligent cultivation. How many people can be like him, personally taught the Golden Core stage, lacking nothing!"

"Publicly listed prices and open transactions. Lei Yaoyang is meddling way too much!"

"How could you know? He wants Junior Brother Shen to give up his cultivation and let him do it first!"

"I see! The Golden Core cultivators are truly remarkable; they get to choose everything first!"

These discussions were conducted in hushed tones.

But every Foundation Establishment cultivator has sharp ears and eyes, and they can hear everything clearly.

They all understood that Shen Xuan was exaggerating.

However, as an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was already dissatisfied with being personally taught by a True Person and receiving priority access to sect resources and support.

I'd like to take this opportunity to vent my frustrations.

Anyway, the law doesn't punish everyone.

Shen Xuan wasn't afraid of facing a direct confrontation; they were just egging him on. What was there to be afraid of?

This was the first time Lei Yaoyang had encountered such a situation. In the past, when he reprimanded his fellow disciples, they would all obediently apologize to him.

I've never encountered someone so stubborn.

"Shen Xuan, you..."

Lei Yaoyang stiffened his neck and stared fiercely at Shen Xuan.

"How about this? Let's have all of you as witnesses. Senior Brother Lei, let's make a bet, with a one-year timeframe, shall we?"

"If I, Shen, can master the Lightning Escape Technique within a year, Senior Brother Lei will publicly apologize to me."

"If you cannot even begin to grasp the basics of Thunder Escape Technique, I, Shen, will purchase a copy of the [Divine Treasury Five Thunder Escape Technique] at my own expense and present it to Senior Brother Lei with both hands. What do you say?"

Shen Xuan continued to apply pressure.

[Divine Treasure of the Vast Ocean Technique], [Divine Treasure of the Five Thunder Escape Technique]

Both are superior lineages of the Qingyun Sect, and judging from their names, there is a certain connection between them.

Besides, Shen Xuan possesses two thunder techniques, [Wrath of the Thunder God] and [Overturning the Sea Thunder and Lightning], as well as the golden finger of the mysterious jade talisman. How could he possibly fail to master the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique]?

As soon as Shen Xuan said this, the fellow disciples who were watching looked at him with surprised eyes.

This is a genuine sect-level lightning escape technique.

Shen Xuan can control the power of lightning and acquire the inheritance of lightning escape techniques without much problem.

After all, he can cultivate slowly.

Once your cultivation level improves, you'll eventually have a chance to succeed in your cultivation.

But what Shen Xuan just said was a year!
One year!
They could tell from their divine senses that Shen Xuan was a Foundation Establishment Level 2 Water Magic cultivator.

A year's time.

There is absolutely no possibility of breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

To comprehend a sect's superior escape technique with only a Foundation Establishment Level 2 cultivation is quite difficult.

Even Deng Xiangdong couldn't stand it.

"Junior Brother Shen, cultivation requires daily accumulation; don't get caught up in petty squabbles!"

However, Lei Yaoyang's eyes lit up.

It was as if they had found Shen Xuan's sore spot.

"Shen Xuan, you said it yourself!"

"As you wish, a year shall be made!"

"If you can master the basics of lightning escape technique a year from now, even if you can only escape three or five zhang away, I will admit defeat."

“At Wangxian Tower in Liuyun Market, set up ninety-nine tables, with each table having dishes worth no less than three hundred spirit stones, and host a banquet for all the fellow disciples present to publicly apologize to you!”

"If you fail to master the basics, I, Lei, will win. You won't need to purchase the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique]; just allocate 10,000 sect contribution points!"

Lei Yaoyang's eyes were fixed on Shen Xuan.

"Twenty-eight thousand points."

Shen Xuan calmly said, "The price of the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique] is 28,000 contribution points. If I lose, I will allocate 28,000 points to Senior Brother Lei."

The voice just fell.

There was another uproar.

"It seems that Junior Brother Shen is very confident!"

"No one's contribution points come from thin air. Since Junior Brother Shen dared to make such a bold claim in public, he can definitely do it!"

"Exactly! We're in for a treat! The spirit wine from Wangxianlou is definitely worth trying!"

They were all Foundation Establishment cultivators; not one of them was a fool.

Shen Xuan's certainty must stem from something he's relying on.

Lei Yaoyang's heart began to pound.

However, once the boast has been made, it's impossible to take it back.

“How about this? Brother Deng, you be our witness. We’ll verify it again in a year!”

Lei Yaoyang turned and left.

Forced into such a predicament by Shen Xuan, he had no choice but to make a harsh statement and retreat first.

Staying even a moment longer would be disrespectful to his status as a direct disciple of the Golden Core cultivator.

Seeing Lei Yaoyang leave.

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to Deng Xiangdong: "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Deng!"

"Junior Brother Shen, are you really confident?"

"I dare not hide anything from my senior brother. I have recently been practicing thunder magic and have made some progress. In a year, I will be able to master the basics of thunder escape techniques without much trouble."

Shen Xuan replied.

"This is the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique]."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiangdong asked in confusion, "This is a water-based escape technique, which is indeed compatible with you. However, lightning escape techniques are extremely difficult to master, so Junior Brother Shen should not be careless."

He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Junior Brother Shen, I heard that you were a rogue cultivator who entered a sect after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. What is your main cultivation technique?"

Deng Xiangdong's gaze toward Shen Xuan became somewhat strange.

In the eyes of sect disciples, the legacy of rogue cultivators is not much different from trash.

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Deng, my mentor came from the Qingyun Sect. What he taught me was the sect's [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique]."

"The Divine Treasure Ocean Technique! Junior Brother Shen is actually practicing this technique!"

"I see!"

Deng Xiangdong suddenly realized, "I've heard Master mention it. Among the sect's water techniques, the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] is the most magnificent and ever-changing. Junior Brother mainly cultivates the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], no wonder you were able to comprehend the thunder technique!"

"So, it seems that the bet between Junior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Lei wasn't just a matter of pride, but rather that he was quite confident about winning!"

"May I ask, Junior Brother Shen, what are your chances of mastering the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique] within a year?"

After all, Shen Xuan was only a Foundation Establishment Level 2 cultivator.

Common sense dictates that one should not practice lightning escape techniques until the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Shen Xuan felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm ashamed! I got a little carried away just now. Actually, I wasn't entirely confident either."

"What percentage is that?"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

"Seventy percent! I'm only seventy percent confident myself. If we extend the deadline to two years, I'll be ninety percent confident."

Deng Xiangdong was speechless.

After a long pause, he finally said, "A 70% chance is not low. Junior Brother Shen, you are still too young. If you had proposed a three-year bet back then, Junior Brother Lei would have agreed too!"

“Brother Deng is right. If they don’t agree in three years, it’s not too late to change it to two years.”

"A 70% chance is enough. Junior Brother Shen, hurry back to your residence and seize the time to cultivate."

Deng Xiangdong's tone carried a hint of encouragement.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Deng. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

Deng Xiangdong is someone who can be united with.

Lei Yaoyang, on the other hand, must be defeated!

After defeating him, you must step on him, break his spine, shatter his Dao heart, and ensure that he can never rise again!
The one-year bet is just the beginning!
