Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 285 Leaving the Sect to Hunt Demons (Seeking Subscriptions)

For Shen Xuan, refining pills in a large furnace was just a fleeting idea, nothing special.

Although it can bring huge benefits to Xiaogufeng and Qingyun Sect.

However, this was not something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could get involved in.

Without a sect to rely on.

He refined elixirs in a large furnace all by himself.

They will definitely be robbed and murdered by the cultivation forces.

A young child carrying gold in a bustling marketplace is courting death.

Consider the method of refining pills in a large furnace as his pledge of allegiance to Little Lonely Peak.

Improving one's own strength is the right path.

"Mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Many plans can now be implemented step by step!"

After successfully refining the Jianghai Wanshui Map, Shen Xuan gained even more confidence in his abilities.

With this magic weapon in hand, he would be able to fight against any Foundation Establishment cultivator, whether from the Daoist sect or the Demonic sect, even if they had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

His natal magic weapon, the Azure Water Sword, had also advanced to the middle grade of the second tier after years of nurturing with spiritual energy from his dantian.

Nowadays, water purifiers and white shields have become useless.

With his current cultivation level, he has already reached his limit in simultaneously nurturing the Jianghai Wanshui Diagram and the Bishui Sword.

"When it comes to magical treasures, it is better to have none than to have something of poor quality."

Shen Xuan has 60,000 sect contribution points.

Originally, I wanted to select a new second-tier mid-grade water-attribute magic weapon from the sect's magic weapon pavilion.

I looked for a long time before, but I didn't find anything I liked.

With the Jianghai Wanshui Map, there's no need to consider new magic weapons for now.

Shen Xuan spent 3,000 contribution points to exchange for a copy of the [Illusionary Form Technique] from the Transmission Pavilion.

A technique for changing one's appearance and body shape.

Actually, it's just a minor point.

Cultivators primarily rely on their divine sense and aura to identify their opponents.

Shen Xuan cultivates the [Illusionary Form Technique] and combines it with the [Concealing Breath Technique], which is enough to conceal himself from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He has a clear understanding of himself.

He was a rogue cultivator with no background, no family connections, and no connections.

Taoist cultivation is the most suitable path for him.

From the very beginning, Shen Xuan did not want to make enemies with anyone.

However, being in the cultivation world, there are some things he has no control over.

People are the world itself.

The struggle for power and resources inevitably involves grudges and feuds.

Suppressing your anger and humbling yourself won't solve the problem.

Therefore, only by striking hard and showing our fangs can we deter the villains.

After returning to his sect, Shen Xuan planned to develop his skills in a low-key manner.

Try to avoid standing out.

"To accelerate the cultivation speed of the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], you either need to improve your spiritual root aptitude or enhance the effects of the [Water Spirit Absorption] and [Gnawing on All Things] skills."

"Therefore, the best way is to hunt down second-tier high-grade water demons."

Shen Xuan was still somewhat confident in his abilities.

Now, there is no problem of being unable to defeat a second-tier high-grade water demon.

Instead, the goal is to kill without sustaining any injuries.

It is absolutely essential not to damage his Dao foundation, lest it affect his future formation of the inner elixir.

There are two goals right in front of us.

The Deepwater Hook Serpent in the Shadow Forest, and the Thunder Beast in the Thunder Swamp.

"It's time to leave the sect and gain experience!"

With the successful alchemy in the large furnace, the laughter and joy on Little Lonely Peak increased significantly.

With wealth flowing in, everyone is in high spirits.

Shen Xuan is always accompanied by beautiful female junior sisters.

Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting took turns performing.

With a charming smile and beautiful eyes, she sweetly called out "Senior Brother".

She would occasionally act coquettishly and constantly inquire about ways to get rich.

Even the way Qin Yuehan looked at him was full of resentment.

This annoyed Shen Xuan to no end.

That's all.

After all, she's just a junior sister; she wouldn't dare do anything to him.

Within the sect, the lineage is orderly and the status is strictly defined.

He is the rightful "Third Senior Brother"!
When the Wu sisters saw that he looked unwell, they dared not disturb him further.

Never imagined.

Second Senior Sister Wen Luoying has emerged from seclusion!
Successfully entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

Moreover, Wen Luoying is a water magic cultivator!

He often came to Shuiyueju to visit him and exchange his insights on spiritual practice.

On the surface, they came to guide Shen Xuan in his cultivation.

They were implying that they were still trying to find out how to get rich.

More than that.

Wen Luoying told him.

The eldest disciple, Yun Chixin, is also returning to the sect.

It's likely that they received news that Xiao Gufeng's predicament has been resolved.

Moreover, there is a high possibility of becoming extremely wealthy.

Practicing alone outside is nowhere as comfortable as being on Little Lonely Peak!
Master Gufeng is such a kind old man, he doesn't charge his disciples for the spiritual energy in their caves!

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!
Having two twin junior sisters is already quite troublesome.

Next up is the second senior sister in the late Foundation Establishment stage and the eldest senior sister in the perfect Foundation Establishment stage.

Shen Xuan simply didn't have the energy to deal with it.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

……

Little Lonely Peak, a blessed land.

"Going out for training?"

Master Gufeng was beaming with joy, clearly in a very good mood.

Even the protective seven-colored divine light became full of vitality, exuding a carefree and flamboyant aura.

Master Gufeng was slightly surprised to learn of Shen Xuan's plan.

On second thought, it makes sense.

She went to ask Master Lingxiao.

Only then did they realize that refining pills in the large furnace was a great contribution to the sect.

They were able to transform the Qingyun Sect into a major sect of alchemy in the Song Dynasty, on par with the Medicine God Valley.

The sect will definitely expand the scale of its alchemy furnace.

Not only the Spirit Gathering Pill, but also the True Essence Pill and the Spirit Strengthening Pill have been put on the agenda.

Of course, the sect will provide some compensation to Xiaogufeng.

All previous debts are wiped clean.

In addition, Xiaogufeng will be re-evaluated for his merits.

Lately, Master Gufeng has been preoccupied with negotiating with Master Mizong.

At this time, for Shen Xuan, who is in the eye of the storm, going out to gain experience is a good idea.

“Master, I have fully refined the Jianghai Wanshui Map and cultivated the [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique], so I am safe and sound.” “This training trip was planned long ago. It was to strengthen the power of my ancestral bloodline and improve my cultivation aptitude.”

Shen Xuan's words were both true and false.

A real person could tell that he had extraordinary bloodline.

But it is unknown where his bloodline came from.

Those who can condense their inner elixir are all people of extraordinary fortune.

How could they possibly covet the opportunities of a junior?

Only those despicable people with no hope of advancement would harbor such intentions.

Upon learning that Shen Xuan had a plan all along, Master Gufeng remained silent for a while.

In the past, she wouldn't have cared at all.

Taking Shen Xuan as a disciple was originally intended to save Qin Yuehan's face, but it was also a spur-of-the-moment decision.

At this moment, however, she did not want Shen Xuan to leave the sect and hoped that he would continue to offer advice and strategies.

However, Master Gufeng was also someone who had been through it all.

He knew that strength was the foundation of a cultivator.

"The method of refining pills in a large furnace may be taken away by the sect. Shen Xuan, do you have any objections?"

"This is Master's unique alchemy technique, and it should be decided by Master. This disciple has no objection."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

This was something he had anticipated.

Master Gufeng pondered for a moment and said, "Gu Jinqin told me that you've acquired a batch of ingredients for Gathering Spirit Pills. How about we add a 50% markup and sell them to Little Gufeng first?"

"Shen Xuan will obey Master."

In just six months, the price has increased by 50%.

Six hundred thousand spirit stones became nine hundred thousand spirit stones.

Shen Xuan was quite satisfied.

He has never been a greedy person.

With the successful alchemy at Xiaogufeng's large furnace, the consumption of ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill skyrocketed.

Lingdantang already had limited stock.

They're about to start a new giant furnace for alchemy.

There was a shortage of supplies.

The Immortal of Longevity took charge and cut off the supply of medicinal herbs to Xiaogu Peak.

Because of this, Master Gufeng and Master Changsheng had a big argument.

She didn't care about earning more or less spirit stones.

Rather, Xiaogufeng is riding high, and people are eager to make progress; this spirit must not be dampened.

"In that case, Shen Xuan, be careful on your journey. This Ten Thousand Mile Golden Light Talisman can instantly transport you ten thousand miles. It can be used to save your life in a critical moment."

Master Gufeng said no more and bestowed upon Shen Xuan a third-tier escape talisman.

"Thank you, Master."

Shen Xuan still felt grateful to Master Gufeng.

From his personal experience, one can feel the love and care that Master Gufeng has for his disciples.

He was quite generous.

He did not deliberately scheme against his disciples.

He is much better than those harsh and exploitative masters.

"He's a good master!"

"Unfortunately, their strength is truly lacking!"

"Moreover, they grew up in a greenhouse and have little experience in struggle."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

But, that’s okay.

A master with little ability and ambition.

That's exactly what he needs.

"Let's go get the spirit stones from Gu Jinqin!"

Master Gufeng was unaware of what Shen Xuan was thinking.

He waved his hand, signaling Shen Xuan to step down.

She watched as Shen Xuan left the blessed land.

Still thinking about it.

"Is it going too far for me to take advantage of my disciple like this?"
"Sigh! I'll just have to compensate him more later!"

……

Before leaving the sect for training, Shen Xuan made some arrangements.

First, they found Gu Jinqin and exchanged the stockpiled medicinal herbs for spirit stones.

Afterwards, he discussed with Gu Jinqin about opening a cultivation shop in the Liuyun Market within the sect, named "Little Lonely Peak".

They sell Spirit Gathering Pills produced by Xiaogufeng, and bundle them with Shen Xuan's Thunder Talismans and Poison Talismans.

Acquire information on various second-tier medicinal herbs, second-tier water fairy blood, and various rare and precious materials.

At the same time, they also sell and buy various spiritual items for cultivation.

The principal was one million spirit stones, contributed by five parties: Xiao Gufeng Shuwu, Shen Xuan, Qin Yuehan, Lü Zhengying, and Gu Jinqin, in a 3:3:2:1:1 ratio.

Originally, Gu Jinqin did not have a share of the investment.

When she heard that Shen Xuan was going to open a store, she decisively invested and snatched a 10% share from Lü Zhengying.

Shen Xuan had no choice but to compromise.

After agreeing on the shops in Liuyun Market within the sect.

Qingyun Immortal City also wants to open a similar cultivation shop.

This shop mainly focuses on iron inquiries.

The principal was 500,000 spirit stones, contributed by Tie Wendao, Shen Xuan, Lü Zhengying, and Xu Shaopeng in a 3:3:3:1 ratio.

The business scope is very similar to that of the "Xiao Gufeng" store.

However, one targets the disciples within the Qingyun Sect, while the other targets the rogue cultivators of Qingyun Immortal City.

After Shen Xuan showed off his skills at the Silver Hook Gambling House last time.

Xu Shaopeng was extremely polite to Shen Xuan.

For this store opening, Shen Xuan specifically approached Xu Shaopeng and asked him to invest 10% of the shares.

He used the reputation of the Purple Qi True Man lineage to protect Tie Wendao's shop.

After all, Shen Xuan wasn't in Qingyun Immortal City, so he couldn't help Tie Wendao when he encountered problems.

Moreover, Xu Shaopeng and his Purple Qi Alliance will be useful to Shen Xuan in the future.

This is also why Shen Xuan let Xu Shaopeng go at the Silver Hook Gambling House.

If you have the ability, there are many ways to earn spirit stones.

There's no need to cut off Xu Shaopeng's source of income and engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Ziqi Peak faction.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators have little hope of achieving enlightenment and have long since given up on the idea of ​​condensing their inner core.

Earning spirit stones was their top priority.

Xu Shaopeng was like this, Lü Zhengying was like this, and Tie Wendao was like this.

Even the Wu sisters were the same.

Shen Xuan, together with others, opened two cultivation shops, one in the sect and the other in Qingyun Immortal City, with earning spirit stones being secondary.

Acquiring the essence blood of second-tier water demons and various precious medicinal herbs, as well as obtaining information on various rare and precious materials and water demons, is what he values ​​most.

"Sigh, I ended up becoming a demon hunter after all!"

"Still the kind who goes it alone!"

Shen Xuan sighed with emotion.

The next morning.

He bid farewell to Qin Yuehan, ignoring her resentful gaze, and left Xiaogu Peak, embarking alone on his journey to hunt down the water demon.

"Shadow Forest, Deepwater Hook Serpent, don't run, I'm coming for you!"
