Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 278 Jianghai Spirit Map (Seeking Subscriptions)

Qin Yuehan, dressed in a white fairy dress, stood on the ancient tree in Yuehan Pavilion, gazing at Shuiyue Residence.

"Senior brother, you've also advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"

Qin Yuehan's eyes became hazy, as if veiled by a light gauze.

What was once as clear as autumn water is now rippling.

The initial impression was stunning; that spirited, knowledgeable, mature beyond his years, and warm senior who cared for her deeply.

It was like a ray of light illuminating her path.

Nominally a princess but actually an orphan, she experienced the attraction of the opposite sex for the first time.

When we met again, he was weathered and worn, having fallen into poverty at the bottom of the market.

With only the fifth level of Qi Refining cultivation, he had to pretend to be at the fourth level, and he was extremely cautious and timid in his interactions with people and situations.

after that.

Shen Xuan awakens his ancestral bloodline, enhances his spiritual root aptitude, and cultivates diligently.

Once all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill have been gathered, we asked her to refine it and help us establish our Dao foundation at Hanyue Pavilion!
At the age of 85, he is laying a foundation for his health!
Now, twenty-three years after Foundation Establishment, I have broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!

"Just who were your ancestors, Senior Brother?"

After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, Shen Xuan's potential clearly surpassed Qin Yuehan's.

Both his cultivation speed and combat power have improved by leaps and bounds.

Even the highly difficult Lightning Release technique was mastered to a minor level within a year.

pity.

If he had awakened his ancestral bloodline earlier, he could have joined the Qingyun Sect at the same time as me.

Now, he should be a true disciple of the Golden Core sect, a seed for Core Formation within the sect.

Qin Yuehan thought to herself quietly.

"With your potential, senior brother, you might have the opportunity to condense your inner core in the future?"

"I wonder how your mortal wife is doing now, Senior Brother!"

Qin Yuehan looked up at the sky.

The bright moon hangs high.

Just like when I was young.

In the blink of an eye, she is over a hundred years old.

On the long path of cultivation, the bright moon accompanies me.

Will he think of me when he sees the bright moon?

Will I, like you, gaze at the cold stars and moon alone in moments of solitude?
……

Shen Xuan took a warm hot bath.

I slept soundly and comfortably.

Breaking through to the mid-Foundation Building stage, many talent skills advance.

This eased his tense nerves a little.

There are three things to consider in life: danger, change, and retreat.

Shen Xuan kept this in mind at all times.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the biggest crisis will be Lei Yaoyang's suppression.

A direct disciple of the Golden Core cultivator, a practitioner of thunder magic.

It once kept him up all night.

Now, this huge rock has finally been moved.

The [Isolation Body] has reached its peak, achieving a new level of resistance to lightning.

Even without using the Divine Thunder Talisman, he was confident he could beat Lei Yaoyang to a pulp.

I hope he's a smart man.

Stop provoking yourself.

Shen Xuan knew this well.

He has already placed himself in opposition to all the true masters of the Golden Elixir.

Although there were only about thirty people.

However, he was an elite disciple of the Qingyun Sect, a true seed for Core Formation.

"Sigh, let's just play it safe and develop quietly!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He had enough confidence at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if you can't win, you can still escape safely.

However, Shen Xuan still faces a troublesome matter.

That was Xiao Gufeng's general affairs.

After more than a year, Shen Xuan finally figured out why Xiao Gufeng was in such dire straits.

The spiritual energy of the Qingyun Sect's five inner peaks, thirteen outer peaks, and eighteen peak caves all originates from the spiritual veins of the main peak.

Each cave dwelling has a spiritual energy switch that calculates the amount of spiritual energy input.

then.

Qingyun Sect charges based on the amount of spiritual energy input!

That's right!

Every Foundation Establishment cultivator, even those who are direct disciples of the Golden Core stage, must pay a spiritual energy fee.

Without exception!

Master Gufeng's original name was Yang Caiyi. She came from the prestigious Yang family, a powerful sect. Her great-grandfather was a Golden Core cultivator in the sect!
She displayed exceptional talent from a young age, and with the strong support of her family, she devoted herself entirely to cultivation, ignoring everything else.

Practice Qi cultivation, build a foundation, and eventually condense the inner elixir.

Although it is not a golden elixir, it is a genuine inner elixir.

He is also the second True Person, the pride of the Yang family in a thousand years!

However, after achieving the Golden Core stage, Master Gufeng faced a small problem.

Of all the arts of cultivation, Master Gufeng is not good at any of them!

She ranked second to last among the eighteen masters of the Qingyun Sect.

The one who came in last place was Master Changchun, who was in the business of spiritual plants!

This was because Changchun Zhenren was afraid of embarrassing her, so he voluntarily placed her last.

After a true immortal creates a blessed land, they can use spiritual energy for free.

There is no problem with Master Gufeng's own cultivation.

The problem lies with several of Master Gufeng's direct disciples.

The eldest disciple, Yun Chixin, was a person of ascetic practice.

The affairs of Xiaogufeng were in her hands from the very beginning, becoming a complete mess.

Seeing that things were not going well, Yun Chixin broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, borrowed some spirit stones on credit, and put it in the public account.

Then, he traveled to various countries to gain experience, ostensibly to seek opportunities to form his core.

In reality, they just ran away!
The second disciple, Wen Luoying, took over the affairs of Xiaogu Peak for ten years before becoming a hands-off manager and going into seclusion to cultivate.

He left the pass, then went into seclusion. He left the pass again, then went into seclusion once more.

In any case, she would never take over the affairs of Xiaogufeng again.

The third disciple, Gu Jinqin, was actually the easiest to talk to.

After taking over, I worked on it for over thirty years.

Miserable.

the reason is simple.

Master Gufeng and her five personal disciples are all female cultivators who only know how to spend money but not how to make it!
Near the Qingyun Sect, demonic beasts have vanished, and demonic cultivators have disappeared without a trace.

The vast majority of sect missions are productive.

Cultivation, martial arts, alchemy, weapon crafting, array formations, talismans, plant cultivation, swordsmanship, medicine, poison, beasts, puppets...

Master Gufeng and her five disciples don't know any of these!

The Wu sisters later learned some crooked ways to make money.

Four words: swindling and cheating.

"Therefore, the administration of Xiaogufeng is a huge pitfall!"

Shen Xuan estimated that more than a hundred years had passed since his eldest sister, Yun Chixin, became a disciple of their master.

Even a rough estimate suggests a deficit of several million spirit stones.

Shen Xuan pondered for a long time. He finally realized...

He is the perfect candidate to take the blame.

It's just a matter of sooner or later.

It is estimated that Master Gufeng had already made up his mind when he promised to take him as his personal disciple.

Her other six direct disciples were all female, each one a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm.

How could I possibly handle such tedious and mundane tasks?

"No rush, there's still a year!"

……

The following day, Shen Xuan went to pay his respects to his master, Master Gufeng.

After breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, you must report to your master.

Although Master certainly knows.

What Shen Xuan was worried about was the affairs of Xiaogu Peak.

Xiaogufeng Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

In the very center of the main hall, Master Gufeng sat cross-legged, surrounded by seven-colored divine light, looking at Shen Xuan opposite him with a half-smile.

Beside Master Gufeng, Gu Jinqin stared at him with wide, surprised eyes.

His eyes held a hint of anticipation.

"Shen Xuan, you're very good."

Master Gufeng's voice was full of satisfaction.

It wasn't a waste of time to take him as my personal disciple.

Master Gufeng knew that Shen Xuan was skilled in making talismans.

Furthermore, it can create second-tier thunder runes.

At least, this person can support himself.

We won't add another debt to Xiaogufeng's already messy accounts.

"I am deeply grateful to my master for accepting me as his disciple. I will always remember your kindness in imparting the Dao and your protection."

Shen Xuan bowed deeply to the Lone Peak Immortal in the center of the main hall and said with a sincere expression.

He was grateful to Master Gufeng.

Regardless, Master Gufeng took him into the Qingyun Sect and bestowed upon him cultivation techniques.

When he had a conflict with Lei Yaoyang, they sided with him and protected him from harm.

Seeing Shen Xuan's statement.

Master Gufeng nodded slightly.

Actually, she initially accepted Shen Xuan as her student.

The main reason was that he couldn't refuse Qin Yuehan's request.

I never expected that he would take over the general affairs of Xiaogufeng.

however.

It now appears that Shen Xuan has a very good character and great potential.

Over the past twenty years, he has become quite polite and knows how to behave appropriately.

“Shen Xuan, according to age, you are my third disciple.”

Master Gufeng smiled slightly.

"Go!"

Suddenly, something flew in from within the seven-colored divine light.

"This is the 'Map of Rivers and Seas,' consider it a belated gift from your master to you as you formally become my disciple!"

Shen Xuan stared intently at it.

A landscape painting slowly unfolds before your eyes.

It stretches for tens of meters, and its main body consists of four great rivers, flowing mightily towards the vast and boundless sea.

It is majestic and powerful, with surging waves that seem to come at any moment, vivid and lifelike.

"You are a water mage, so you should be able to use this."

"The Map of Rivers and Seas?"

Shen Xuan approached to examine it and his face lit up with joy.

"Master, is this a spatial magic artifact?"

"Indeed. This diagram can hold a thousand portions of spiritual water; its uses are endless!"

Shen Xuan hadn't expected that Master Gufeng would be so generous.

He was given a top-grade magic weapon as a gift to become his disciple.

He had visited the sect's magic treasure pavilion before.

The highest quality of the magical artifacts inside is only mid-grade second tier.

There wasn't a single second-tier high-grade magic weapon.

No matter how many contribution points you have, you can't redeem them.

Shen Xuan waved.

A stream of pure water elemental energy flowed into the Jianghai Wanshui Map.

It is absorbed into one's own dantian and nurtured.

After bestowing the magic treasure.

Master Gufeng said, "Shen Xuan, you are my only male disciple."

"Before joining the sect, he lived in the market town and must have been proficient in all kinds of daily affairs."

Shen Xuan understood.

Master Gufeng hopes that he will take the initiative to take over the affairs of Xiao Gufeng.

“Reporting to Master, this disciple is willing to take over the general affairs of Little Lonely Peak. However…”

Shen Xuan sighed and continued, "This disciple is not proficient in administrative affairs."

Beside her, Gu Jinqin opened her mouth as if to speak.

Shen Xuan quickly continued, "This disciple is willing to share Master's burdens! Senior sisters and junior sisters are busy with cultivation, so this disciple will take care of these trivial matters!"

They got the benefits.

They had already promised to take over.

It would be better to take the initiative and leave a good impression on your master.

After listening to Shen Xuan finish speaking.

Both Master Gufeng and Gu Jinqin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

He guessed that his master was still thin-skinned.

Otherwise, with her real abilities, getting a few million spirit stones would be a piece of cake!
This confirmed his suspicions.

Master Gufeng is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

fair enough.

The bond between master and disciple is inherently deep, and they are mutually causal.

Shen Xuan hoped that his master-disciple relationship with Master Gufeng would have a good beginning and a good end.

For more than twenty years.

He had also been secretly observing Master Gufeng.

He seems like a good person?
At least, Shen Xuan had not heard of any despicable things that Master Gufeng had done.

Judging from her attitude towards her several disciples, she can be considered a role model for teachers.

Aside from being a bit weak in strength, poor in wealth, weak in combat, and lacking any particular cultivation techniques, he doesn't have any major flaws.

Shen Xuan glanced at Gu Jinqin.

He was all smiles, grinning from ear to ear.

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Shen Xuan revealed a hint of sympathy.

Soon, Shen Xuan understood why Gu Jinqin viewed him that way.

"Eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones!"

"Junior sister, are you kidding me! The general affairs of Little Lonely Peak are in such a deficit!"
