Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 241 Bloodthirsty Mosquito King (Please Subscribe)

Qi Wanqing stared wide-eyed at Shen Xuan.

This is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment meditation.

He is willing to sign a master-servant soul contract with Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment before politely declining Li Ruyi's suggestion to meditate.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I do not wish to hide it from you, I am a disciple of the Great Master of the Song Dynasty.”

"Our sect has its own rules. It is not convenient to bring Fellow Daoist Li back to the sect."

Shen Xuan's words were half true and half false.

His identity is real, and it's also true that it's inconvenient for him to bring a hermit like Li Ruyi back to his sect.

His unwillingness to sign a master-servant soul contract with Li Ruyi was actually none of the sect's or his master's business.

As long as he doesn't violate the sect's rules, the sect and his master won't do anything to him.

Shen Xuan declined, still considering Li Ruyi's situation and the many karmic ties involved.

During her lifetime, she was a second-tier high-grade alchemist, and her strength and status were not to be underestimated.

Although the reason is unknown, he has fallen into a state of spiritual cultivation.

However, if one achieves success in their spiritual practice, the grudges and grievances from their previous life will inevitably remain unresolved.

Three hundred years is neither a long nor a short time.

The cultivators who had grudges against Li Ruyi are likely still alive.

Moreover, their strength and status will not be low.

Shen Xuan was unwilling to get involved in such trouble.

Moreover.

There was a meditator by his side.

It will affect his luck.

It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.

[Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune] has been constantly warning him to stay away from Li Ruyi.

"All right!"

Slightly disappointed, Li Ruyi reluctantly returned to a small storage bag at Qi Wanqing's waist.

Inside, there is a piece of soul-nourishing wood.

It was her place of refuge.

Now that he had obtained the formula for the Pure Foundation Pill, Shen Xuan was ready to harvest the seven Mystic Spirit Grasses.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, there is a nest of wolf-faced poisonous spiders over there, two large and seven small. The large ones are mid-grade second rank, and the small ones are top-grade first rank."

"Does Fellow Daoist Shen need Qianzhu's help?"

"Exactly."

Shen Xuan said with a solemn expression, "Please, Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, help me guard the surroundings to prevent being attacked by villains."

That's an exaggeration!

It was clearly a gesture to make Qianzhu Jushi step back, and for Shen Xuan to come alone!
Qianzhu Jushi smiled slightly and summoned two more spirit bamboo sword and shield puppets and two spirit bamboo archer puppets to stand guard in all four directions.

Shen Xuan had hunted down second-tier mid-grade demonic beasts many times and was already very confident in his abilities.

He didn't even notice the two wolf-faced poisonous spiders.

Already immune to all poisons and blessed with various talents, Shen Xuan was full of confidence in dealing with this mid-grade second-tier demonic beast.

really.

As Shen Xuan went to pick seven Xuanling Grasses, two wolf-faced poisonous spiders shrieked and rushed out of their nest.

Their instinct to protect their food drove them to attack Shen Xuan with ferocious howls.

The spider opened its mouth, revealing its white fangs, and sprayed strands of transparent venomous silk at Shen Xuan, attempting to stick to him.

Shen Xuan made a hand seal, and one after another, dark ice fish leaped out of his body, erecting a series of azure light spiritual walls to block the two wolf-faced poisonous spiders from entering.

Then, Shen Xuan pointed slightly, his fingers forming a sword shape.

A sword aura of water qi, carrying a chilling intent, shot directly at the slightly larger male spider, piercing through its body and leaving a bloody hole.

The male spider, wounded, let out a mournful cry, its eyes flashing with ferocity, and fiercely extended its sharp claws, tearing through a barrier of azure light.

The other female spider followed suit and tore through another Azure Spirit Wall.

But only there.

Dark ice fish continuously condensed within Shen Xuan's body, then leaped out.

This time, it didn't transform into a blue-light spirit wall.

Instead, it shot straight at the wolf-faced poisonous spider demon's body.

Wolf-faced spiders are known for their swift movements and potent venom.

However, under the influence of the icy chill, his movements were slightly slower than usual.

At first, they were able to use their natural instincts to avoid those dark ice fish.

However, as time went on...

They were then shot by the relentlessly pursuing dark ice fish.

The two wolf-faced venomous spiders screamed in agony one after the other.

After being injured by the first dark ice fish, the demon's movements became even slower.

Not long after.

The two wolf-faced poisonous spiders were shot with several bloody holes by the dark ice fish.

Frozen into ice sculptures, life cut off.

Shen Xuan turned around and glanced at Qi Wanqing.

"Shen will take five trees, you take two, is that alright?"

"no problem!"

"As for these two wolf-faced poisonous spiders..."

Shen Xuan pondered and looked at the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, please accept this for now. When the next harvest comes, it will be my turn, how about that?"

The Wolf-faced Poison Spider is an earth-attribute monster.

It wouldn't be of much use to Shen Xuan.

However, since it is a mid-grade second-tier item, its demon core, poison fangs, spider silk, and other materials can be sold for a considerable amount of spirit stones.

"As Shen Dao said!"

Without any pretense, the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo used magic to put the two wolf-faced poisonous spider ice sculptures into his beast pouch.

There were also seven baby venomous spiders in the nest.

Shen Xuan glanced at Qi Wanqing, who was eager to try.

"If Fellow Daoist Qi wants it, then I'll give it to you!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen!"

Qi Wanqing forced out the little poisonous spiders from their nest, then silently unleashed her Soul-Devouring Needles, poisoning each one until they were unconscious and she put them away.

This battle did not require much effort from Shen Xuan.

A mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and a mid-grade second-tier demonic beast pose no threat to Shen Xuan.

On the surface, Shen Xuan's gains were almost the same as those of Qianzhu Jushi.

In fact, his most important gain was the formula for the Pure Foundation Pill from Li Ruyi, which he had studied in meditation.

That was a prescription that Li Ruyi improved and that had proven effective in practice.

If we can collect all the medicinal herbs and refine the Foundation Purification Pill, we can improve the quality of our Dao Foundation.

This greatly increased Shen Xuan's chances of winning by helping him condense his inner core, making it extremely valuable.

It should be noted that the probability of a Foundation Establishment cultivator condensing an inner core, even a fake one, is only a few percent.

Even a Golden Core cultivator like Lei Yaoyang, with exceptional talent and the support of his sect's resources, only has a success rate of about 20% in condensing his inner core.

In other words, Shen Xuan was the one who benefited the most.

After cleaning up the battlefield.

Qi Wanqing said pitifully, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, may I follow you two?" "Don't worry! I won't be a burden to you, nor will I take any of your spoils!"

Nineteen cultivators entered the Azure Cloud Secret Realm.

Except for the three of them.

Of the remaining sixteen people, two from the Wei family and one from the Luo family perished.

Two members of the Guan family perished, and one member of the Zeng family perished.

Among them, the three from the Zhu family and the two from the Luo family are all good cultivators, but their skills are meager and they are not worth worrying about.

So it is calculated that...

Their next opponents will be five Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Guan and Zeng families.

The two members of the Guan family were fine.

Although he was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, Shen Xuan did not take him seriously.

The three members of the Zeng family are demonic cultivators from the White Bone Sect, Blood Spirit Sect, and Joyful Union Sect, respectively.

These demonic cultivators, who came from the Demonic Sect, used unpredictable methods, so Shen Xuan dared not be careless.

Why are you following us?

"Wanqing is really scared!"

Qi Wanqing explained, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Sister Ruyi is familiar with the Qingling Secret Realm and knows many places where you can harvest spiritual plants of full age. Some of them can be used as the main ingredients for spiritual pills."

Hearing her say that, Shen Xuan was somewhat tempted.

His original intention was to have Li Ruyi and Qi Wanqing refine the Foundation Purification Pill first.

He will then try to refine elixirs in accordance with the law.

Otherwise, why would they have given away two Xuanling Grasses to Qi Wanqing?

"Fellow Daoist Qi, remember your promise."

Seeing that Shen Xuan agreed, Qi Wanqing was overjoyed.

The partner she initially chose, Fan Xiaoxian, was simply too weak.

They were utterly terrified when they encountered the two cultivators from the Guan family.

It's completely useless.

If the other party hadn't been wary of Li Ruyi, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator...

They would have been wiped out long ago.

Shen Xuan and his two companions found a cave, set up the Wind and Thunder Killing Array and the Concealment Array, and began to regulate their breathing and cultivate their inner energy to restore their spiritual power and soul.

In fact, Shen Xuan did not consume much spiritual power, and with the [Self-Healing Technique], he quickly recovered to his best condition.

However, in order not to reveal his [Self-Healing Technique], Shen Xuan pretended to adjust his breathing for a while.

The three of them rested in the cave for the night.

The next morning.

The three set off, continuing their journey to the core area.

This time, Shen Xuan and his two companions encountered a swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes that blotted out the sky.

Like clusters of blood-red clouds, they buzzed and swarmed densely.

Each clump contains at least tens of thousands of blood-sucking mosquitoes.

Although most blood-sucking mosquitoes are only of the lowest rank.

But there are just too many of them.

At the beginning, Shen Xuan released the Yin-devouring demonic insects to fight against Xiao Tuan's swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

These days, the Yin-devouring demonic insects have been gorging themselves on the corpse energy, and they are all full of energy and have a great momentum.

Even when outnumbered, these bloodthirsty mosquitoes, though outnumbered, remained fiercely determined to fight.

Many Yin-devouring demonic insects seized the bloodthirsty mosquitoes, feasted on them, and made triumphant chirping sounds.

However, there are simply too many blood-sucking mosquitoes.

The subsequent swarms each contained hundreds of thousands of insects.

Shen Xuan waited for a while.

After the Yin-Devouring Demon Insects have been reduced by 20%, put them into the insect bag.

This action even drew the attention of the hermit Qianzhu.

"There are too many demonic insects, making them difficult to control. It's good to eliminate some of them."

The Yin-Devouring Demonic Insects devoured a large amount of corpse energy and demonic insects, many of which were about to advance in rank. Fearing that they would be difficult to control, Shen Xuan deliberately sacrificed some of the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Those who survive are the elite, and they have a greater chance of being promoted.

"Does Fellow Daoist Shen have a way to deal with these bloodthirsty mosquitoes?"

Qianzhu Jushi commanded four spirit bamboo sword and shield puppets to hold off the swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.

These puppets, lacking flesh and blood, are immune to the bites of bloodthirsty mosquitoes and can withstand some of their attacks.

"Let me give it a try."

Shen Xuan summoned the Crimson Winged Serpent.

His own [Snake's Demonic Sound] is only at the mastery stage.

Its power is far inferior to that of the Crimson-Winged Roaring Serpent Corpse Beast.

Under Shen Xuan's divine control.

The Crimson-Winged Serpent stood upright like a human, its four crimson wings spread out, and the serpent crown on its head turned blood red, glistening with vibrant color.

Then, the snake opened its mouth and made a loud noise like striking a bell towards the swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes in front of it.

In front of the Crimson Winged Serpent, space seemed to be distorted, becoming even more blurred and indistinct in the hazy atmosphere.

The bodies of the bloodthirsty mosquitoes suddenly exploded and fell like snowflakes.

The Crimson-Winged Serpent cried out several times in succession.

Soon, a small portion of the swarm of insects in front of Shen Xuan and the others fell.

The pile of bloodthirsty mosquito carcasses on the ground was three inches thick.

But these bloodthirsty mosquitoes kept coming one after another, seemingly endless.

Even Shen Xuan was getting impatient.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Sister Ruyi said that the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King is in command from behind."

"understood!"

Shen Xuan activated his [Insight Technique] to its maximum.

Sure enough, behind the swarm of insects, a massive, egg-sized, bloodthirsty mosquito king was urging its minions to attack.

"court death!"

Shen Xuan was not surprised but delighted.

The Bloodthirsty Mosquito King is actually a second-tier water-attribute demon insect.

It's probably a mid-grade second-tier spirit root, which can't improve the quality of the spirit root.

However, its essence and blood can provide some Daoist points.

Shen Xuan activated the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique].

Centered on him, frost spread within a radius of a hundred feet.

The temperature plummeted.

The menacing, bloodthirsty mosquitoes were instantly frozen, turning into snowflakes that fell softly to the ground.

Shen Xuan's figure blurred as he used the Lightning Escape Technique to instantly fly to the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King.

In mid-air, Shen Xuan's body exuded a chilling aura that spread throughout the air.

The surrounding bloodthirsty mosquitoes were instantly frozen and fell to the ground.

He cleared out a large area.

At this moment, the bloodthirsty mosquito king sensed something was wrong.

Its blood-red wings fluttered, emitting strange cries, as it tried to escape.
