Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 254 In the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion (Please Subscribe)

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan slowly finished his practice.

On the mysterious jade talisman, small golden characters flickered incessantly.

Three meals a day, and after each meal, use [Gnawing on All Things] to refine the meat of a mid-grade second-tier demon beast.

The effect is remarkable.

It can not only refine a trace of spiritual power to enrich the fundamental source of the Dao.

The skill proficiency for 【Gnawing on Everything】is also slowly increasing.

Even after reaching the peak, the [Sharp Teeth] skill also saw an increase.

These two skills, when combined with skills such as [Critical Strike], [Iron Bones], and [Infinite Strength], create astonishing power.

It can absolutely crush any second-tier demon beast.

Shen Xuan estimated that he could bite through even a second-tier high-grade magic weapon.

If the magic weapon is made primarily of demonic beasts or spiritual plants, it can be directly devoured and swallowed to refine the spiritual power it contains.

"Alas, I have ultimately fallen into the trap of unorthodox methods!"

Shen Xuan was somewhat moved.

This cultivation method is similar to that of demonic cultivators and monsters.

They treat demonic beasts, spiritual plants, and the spiritual objects they refine as absorbable spiritual entities, devouring and refining their essence and spiritual power.

"Could this be considered a demonic art?"

That being said.

[Gnawing on all things] In cultivation, the effects are immediate and the benefits are obvious.

First, it accelerated the pace of cultivation.

Originally, the cultivation after Foundation Establishment was more difficult and time-consuming with each level.

Shen Xuan cultivated at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm for eight years.

Later, with the help of the [Water Spirit Absorption] skill, he accelerated his cultivation speed and cultivated for another eight years at the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He has now been cultivating at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm for two years.

Originally, it would have taken another seven or eight years of cultivation to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

It now appears that the timeframe can be shortened to about five years to reach the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

After honing your skills, you can attempt to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Don't underestimate the importance of these two or three years.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

The speed of cultivation has increased by 20% to 30%.

This is extremely rare in the world of cultivation.

The effect is even better than cultivating in a second-tier superior-grade Daoist temple.

The second is to absorb the essence of spiritual bodies to consolidate one's own foundation.

[Gnawing on all things] If it can be developed to the point of supernatural power.

It's simply an existence on a heaven-defying level.

It has a similar effect to the advanced demonic sect techniques.

The demonic sect's cultivation methods are fast, but the side effects are equally severe.

The chances of a cultivator at the peak of the Demon Foundation stage successfully condensing a Demon Core are much smaller than those of a Daoist spiritual cultivator.

[Gnawing on everything] should not have any side effects in this regard.

Each wisp of spiritual power refined is quickly assimilated into the Dao Foundation Source Spirit Sea.

There were absolutely no symptoms of discomfort.

"Even if there are some impurities, they can be purified and eliminated after I refine the Foundation Purification Pill!"

However, that happened a long time later.

Shen Xuan's most urgent task is to study diligently and practice assiduously to improve his cultivation level.

As for the conflict between the Daoist and Demonic factions in Qingyang Prefecture.

He didn't take it to heart at all.

The struggle between the Daoist and Demonic sects for the cultivation of their core seeds.

None of his business!

……

Flowers bloom and fall.

A year has passed.

The flames of war still rage in Qingyang Prefecture.

Shen Xuan understood.

This war will last for a considerable period of time.

Neither the Daoist sect nor the Demonic sect wanted it to end too soon.

the reason is simple.

From the late stage of foundation building to completion.

Even for cultivators of the Demonic Sect, it takes more than ten years.

The war ended too quickly.

There is no benefit for either side.

As for those young cultivators who shouted the slogan of "slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits," it was only natural that they became cannon fodder.

Meanwhile, the Demonic Sect was sending a constant stream of late-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivators from Liang Kingdom.

If they want to establish a foundation, they can only look for opportunities in these prefectures and counties that are in a state of war.

The more monks who die.

The more opportunities they have, the more chances they will have.

Of course, they themselves are also opportunities for other cultivators.

The cultivation families and independent cultivators in Qingyang Prefecture, tempted by cultivation techniques, inheritances, and Foundation Establishment Pills, chose their own sides, joining either the Qingyun Sect or the Blood Spirit Sect, and fought fiercely.

They either slay demons and monsters to gain merit for their sect, or they switch to demonic arts, using blood sacrifices and killing to break through their cultivation level.

Shen Xuan watched this with indifference.

His schedule is packed.

He practiced the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] three times a day, morning, noon, and evening, used [Awe-Inspiring Power] to warm up his voice, and used [Sharp Teeth] in conjunction with [Gnawing on All Things] to refine the essence of demon beast meat.

In addition, you also need to make the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman], [Pufferfish Poison Talisman], [Silver Ditch Snake Poison Talisman], and [Stone Fish Poison Talisman].

Busy.

Good news also came from the White Lotus Fairy's side.

The Qian family of Tiancheng Prefecture is willing to make a deal with Shen Xuan.

The amount of elixirs provided far exceeded that of the Zhou family, the Beast Tamer.

This forced Shen Xuan to set aside extra time specifically for making poison talismans.

Especially the [Pufferfish Poison Talisman], which is only at the proficiency stage.

Compared to the other two types of poison talismans, it consumes more mental and spiritual energy and has a lower success rate.

this day.

Shen Xuan finished a day of cultivation and talisman making.

"I'm so tired. I'll rest tomorrow!"

He glanced at the communication talisman.

After thinking about it, I ultimately decided not to send any information.

The White Lotus Fairy is getting busier and busier.

The frequency of visits to Tingyuxuan has decreased significantly.

On average, it only happens twice a month.

Shen Xuan knew perfectly well what was going on.

The White Lotus Fairy didn't intentionally distance herself from him.

Instead, they are preparing for a breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

During this period, one must hone oneself, repeatedly refining one's physical body, soul, spiritual power, and consciousness.

In the period leading up to this breakthrough, it is even more important to abstain from sex, alcohol, and meat, and to calm the mind and nourish the spirit.

Shen Xuan never asked the White Lotus Fairy her age.

Thinking back now.

The White Lotus Fairy was about fifty years old when she established her foundation.

Ten years after establishing his foundation, he encountered himself.

By that calculation, he is now nearly ninety years old.

She is fourteen or fifteen years younger than him.

"He broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage at the age of ninety. If the resources are sufficient, he might have a chance to break through to the late-Foundation Establishment stage."

Age is a hurdle.

For cultivators, as long as they are young enough and their bodies are still full of vitality, there is a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.

However, the White Lotus Fairy's limit is the late Foundation Establishment stage.

To reach the next level and achieve a perfect foundation is extremely difficult.

As for condensing the inner elixir, there is not even a one in ten thousand chance.

"Forget it, shall we go and browse around Tianxiang Pavilion?"

He transmigrated to the world of cultivation and lived there for over a hundred years.

At 104 years old, he had never even patronized Tianxiang Pavilion, which made him somewhat ashamed.

I am ashamed of my identity as a transmigrator! The next day.

Sunny weather.

Shen Xuan was full of energy after finishing his morning lessons.

He gave Su Xue'er his instructions, then transformed into a streak of light and sped off to Qingyang Market.

This time, Shen Xuan disguised himself as a rogue cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and entered the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

The world is in chaos, and the war between the righteous and the demonic is raging.

Tianxianglou, however, was extremely popular.

The first floor was filled with fellow Daoists who had come to exchange skills.

Shen Xuan glanced at it briefly.

Surprisingly, 30% of them were demonic cultivators.

Very normal.

Tianxiang Pavilion is an outer organization of the Demonic Sect and the Joyful Union Sect.

Adhere to the principle of neutrality.

As long as you're willing to spend spirit stones.

Let alone demonic cultivators.

Even demon cultivators are willing to be received.

"The Zhao family of Tiger Ridge certainly knows how to do business!"

Within Qingyang Market, demonic cultivators are not prohibited from entering or leaving.

As long as you behave yourself in the market and do not do anything wrong or violate the market rules.

As for the areas outside the market.

Even if they were a foot away from the city gate, fighting to the death would have nothing to do with the city.

The enforcement team will absolutely not interfere.

They will not have any prejudice against demonic cultivators, evil cultivators, monster cultivators, or tribulation cultivators.

All who come are guests.

The actions of the Zhao family at Hujianling are even worse than those of the Tianxiang Pavilion.

Foundation Establishment cultivators still hold some sway in Qingyang Market.

When Shen Xuan entered, the manager of Tianxiang Pavilion greeted him with a respectful and obsequious expression.

"Welcome, fellow Daoist! Do you know any fairies here?"

The fairies of Tianxiang Pavilion also respectfully address each other as fairies.

"Wanmeng?"

Shen Xuan blurted it out.

He only knows this one person.

"Fairy Wanmeng?"

A hint of surprise flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes.

"Does this fellow Daoist know Fairy Wanmeng?"

"Can't you?"

“Alright! I will take you to Wanmeng Pavilion now.”

Shen Xuan followed the shopkeeper all the way up to the fifth floor.

In the most luxuriously decorated room, Shen Xuan met Wan Meng.

Dressed in a light gauze gown, Wanmeng leaned against a soft couch, wine jug at her lips, tilting her head back to drink.

At this moment, she was slightly drunk, her cheeks flushed, her eyes were alluring and dreamy.

"Hey, it's you? Shen Xuan, the Talisman Master!!"

Upon seeing Shen Xuan, his eyes immediately sharpened.

"Did Master Shen come here specifically to see Wanmeng?"

Shen Xuan was slightly startled.

He used a transformation technique to change his appearance and conceal his aura.

Logically speaking, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't recognize him.

I wonder what special method Wanmeng has that allows her to recognize him at a glance.

"Fairy Wanmeng has excellent eyesight!"

"Hehe, Wanmeng could tell by smell!"

Wanmeng leaned lightly against Shen Xuan, her pretty nose twitching slightly.

"Master Shen has a particularly pleasant scent."

"what!"

Shen Xuan was filled with awe.

Even a perfect-level [Concealing Breath Technique] cannot escape Wanmeng's keen senses.

He must have mastered some extremely advanced olfactory technique.

"Alright! Stop teasing Master Shen. It was Xiaobai who recognized you! Wanmeng doesn't have that kind of ability!"

A small, snow-white fox peeked out from the animal pouch at Wanmeng's waist, its bright fox eyes revealing a hint of cunning.

"I see! What an adorable little white fox!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "I wonder if the little white fox's meat tastes good? How about we cook it sometime?"

The little white fox was suddenly startled, trembling, and shrank back into the animal pouch.

"Hehehe, Master Shen, you're really joking! Look how scared you've made Little White!"

Wanmeng covered her mouth and chuckled softly. The light veil slipped down, revealing her delicate body, as white as mutton fat, and all her exquisite features were on full display.

"Master Shen, is Wanmeng pretty?"

"Quite good looking."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"I am waiting for the Magnolia Fairy."

Shen Xuan stared at a spot in the empty space of the room, his eyes flashing like lightning.

After casting the [Insight] spell, he was able to sense the subtle magical fluctuations emanating from the Magnolia Fairy's body.

"Yulan knew it; she couldn't hide it from Master Shen!"

Wu Yulan revealed her figure.

"Sister Wanmeng, you still don't believe me!"

Wanmeng stared wide-eyed at Shen Xuan.

"Master Shen, do you also have a spirit beast like Little White?"

"without!"

Shen Xuan honestly replied, "All my spirit beasts are dead!"

"Corpse beast?"

Wanmeng frowned slightly.

What is the connection between Master Shen and the Corpse Refining Sect?

"There is no connection between them."

Shen Xuan glanced at Wanmeng and Wu Yulan.

They were truly two stunning beauties.

If we could cultivate together...

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"

Shen Xuan turned and left.

If there were only one opponent, he could still put up a hand-to-hand fight.

Shen Xuan was unsure about what the two of them were saying.

It would be better to avoid their attack for now!

Two Holy Maidens of the Demonic Sect, with Core Formation potential.

Wu Yulan is a late-stage character in the game.

Wanmeng appears to be in the mid-stage of the Demon Base.

Judging from Wu Yulan's attitude, she and Wanmeng are on equal footing, and their abilities are roughly the same.

Shen Xuan is a cautious and meticulous person.

It's best to be cautious when you don't know the other party's hand.

After saying that, Shen Xuan broke through the window and flew out from the fifth floor, transforming into a streak of light and quickly flying to the entrance of Qingyang Market.

"Wu Yulan, one of the three major demonic cultivators in Qingyang Prefecture, has actually appeared in Tianxiang Pavilion in Qingyang Market!"

"It seems the Zhao family of Tiger Ridge can't be trusted!"

"I hope Senior Brother He Zhengming can handle this properly!"

Shen Xuan left Qingyang Market and flew back to Tingyu Pavilion without looking back.

the other side.

Inside Tianxiang Pavilion.

Wanmeng and Wu Yulan exchanged a glance.

The two figures flickered and disappeared from the spot at the same time.

When it reappeared, it was already outside the secret room on the top floor of Tianxiang Pavilion.

This place is filled with all sorts of killing formations and restrictions.

At this moment, several Foundation Establishment cultivators were already seated inside.

The head of the Zhao family was among them!
