Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 66 Gathering Water Spirit Essence (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Shen Xuan found the shop assistant's reaction somewhat strange.

The [Condensing Water to Transform Sharpness Technique] should be at least partially mastered, which shouldn't be too difficult.

Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?
[Insight Technique] sensed a powerful aura comparable to that of a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator rapidly approaching.

Looking up, he saw a yellow-robed deacon with gleaming eyes.

"I am Ruan Siting, a steward of the Azure Water Sect. May I ask your honorable name, fellow Daoist?"

"Talisman Master Shen Xuan greets Steward Ruan." Shen Xuan clasped his hands in a salute.

"You are proficient in the [Condensing Water to Form a Sharp Edge] technique?"

"I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'd say I'm fairly proficient!"

Could you demonstrate?

Seeing that Shen Xuan hesitated.

Ruan Siting explained, "Our Biyue Sect treats independent cultivators well and opens its doors wide to them. If someone succeeds in cultivating the Biyue Sect's water techniques, they can be recommended to join the sect, depending on the circumstances."

And so on!

Shen Xuan felt a surge of joy!
If one can join the Azure Water Sect, one will become a disciple of the sect.

Not only can it enhance one's status and position, but it can also provide access to a large amount of cultivation resources invested by the sect.

"Can!"

"Come with me!"

The two arrived at the back of the shop, in a ritual performance area.

Ruan Siting pointed to a black iron dummy and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, without using any magic tools, try the power of the [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique] using only your own spiritual power."

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan did not use the [Water Control], [Critical Strike], or [Iron Bones] talents.

With his own magical power alone, he condensed a crescent-shaped ice blade, three feet long, which transformed into an ice dragon, resembling it in both form and spirit, and exuding a majestic aura.

"disease!"

As Shen Xuan shouted, the icy dragon let out a low growl and instantly carved out an ice-sealed passage, sweeping past the black iron dummy ten feet away.

Let's look at the black iron dummy again.

A layer of frost spread across the surface.

Ruan Siting stepped forward and gently touched it with her finger.

"Crash!"

It shattered into ice shards!

hiss--

Ruan Siting couldn't help but gasp.

He looked at Shen Xuan, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"How far are you from mastering your [Condensing Water to Form a Sharp Edge Technique]?"

"It's still a little worse!"

Shen Xuan answered honestly.

"How long have you been practicing the [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique]?"

"ten years."

"After ten years of cultivating the [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique], you are nearing mastery! Shen Xuan, that's wonderful! I recommend you to participate in the Azure Water Sect's entrance test."

"With your strength, you will surely impress the sect elders and successfully enter the sect."

Seeing the other person's excited eyes, Shen Xuan asked, "Steward Ruan, is there an age limit for the entrance test of the Azure Water Sect?"

He remembered that when his teacher took him to participate in the entrance test for the Qingyun Sect, the age limit was under twenty.

"Don't worry! Our Azure Water Sect's entrance test is different from other sects; it is determined based on the cultivator's cultivation level."

"As long as you are in the late stage of Qi cultivation and are not over fifty years old, there will be no problem."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Ruan Siting scrutinized Shen Xuan's face, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, judging from your appearance, you exude a heroic spirit. You can't be more than fifty years old!"

Meeting the other's gaze, Shen Xuan nodded calmly and said with certainty, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Steward Ruan. I am seventy-three years old this year."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Siting stared in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief.

"I'm seventy-three years old!"

"How can you look so young!"

……

After half a stick of incense.

Shen Xuan carefully put away the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique], which was discounted by 20%, and walked out of the shop with a smile.

Behind him, Ruan Siting waved to him. Upon learning Shen Xuan's age, Ruan Siting was greatly disappointed.

He told Shen Xuan that if he could recommend talented people to join the sect.

Depending on his performance, he may receive some merit from the sect.

Ruan Siting gave Shen Xuan several communication talismans.

They stated frankly that they were equals.

When they have free time, the two of them exchange cultivation experiences.

As fellow practitioners of water magic, exchanging knowledge and drawing parallels between them would benefit both of their cultivation.

He also practiced the [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique], but its power was slightly less than Shen Xuan's.

He also practiced the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique].

If you encounter any questions during your practice, you can consult him.

Shen Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

This is a gesture of goodwill from the powerful steward of the Azure Water Sect.

Shen Xuan demonstrated the [Condensing Water to Form Edge Technique] without any additional talents.

If Ruan Siting saw his [Water Condensation Technique], enhanced with the talents of [Water Control], [Critical Strike], and [Iron Bones], used on the top-grade flying sword, the Azure Water Sword, I wonder what kind of expression he would have?
That’s for later.

Go home.

Shen Xuan entered the training room and began to study the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique].

First, activate the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique] to transform the spiritual energy in your dantian into a vast ocean.

According to the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique], a pure spiritual essence is condensed in the vast sea of ​​spiritual energy, resembling a swimming fish, shaped like a blade, dark and sharp.

Let your heart dictate your actions.

The little fish, named Lingyuan, swam happily in the vast ocean.

The next moment, the dark and sharp spiritual fish suddenly leaped out of the dantian sea, transforming into a layer of azure protective spiritual light that tightly enveloped Shen Xuan.

This azure light emanated a fierce, icy aura, and was extremely sharp.

However, that's not all.

Shen Xuan condensed another small spirit fish, which also leaped out and transformed into a layer of azure-green protective spiritual light.

They can actually be stacked!

Then condense another small fish of spiritual energy!
Stack it up again!
Shen Xuan condensed nine small spirit fish, layering them seamlessly!
"Excellent water method!"

Nine layers of spiritual essence were stacked in succession.

Without testing, Shen Xuan could estimate its defensive capabilities.

It's not much worse than the top-grade magic artifact, the Sea-Suppressing Bell!
Can the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique] and [Water Condensation and Sharpening Technique] be stacked?

Shen Xuan deactivated the protective aura.

A new spiritual fish was formed, leaping out of the dantian sea. Guided by the [Condensing Water to Transform into Sharpness Technique], it transformed into a solid and sharp dark spiritual fish, swift as a swimming dragon, and suddenly shot out.

Wherever the dark spirit fish passed, a passage of ice appeared out of thin air, and the surrounding air froze.

boom!
There was a crisp sound.

A small hole appeared in the ancient bronze dummy blocking the way.

Its remaining force was undiminished, causing the array in the training room to tremble violently.

This is only on land.

If in water, buff with the [Water Control], [Critical Strike], and [Iron Bones] talents.

The attack power of this dark spirit fish is simply terrifying!

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators, without top-quality defensive magic treasures, cannot withstand the attack of this dark spiritual energy!
"The Water Spirit Gathering Technique is one of the best water-based techniques of the Azure Water Sect!"

Ruan Siting's words echoed in my mind once again.

Shen Xuan went to the lakeside in the courtyard and tried it out.

After being empowered with the talents of [Water Control], [Critical Strike], and [Iron Bones], the nine dark spirit fish exuded a violent and intense aura of destruction.

Shen Xuan was unsure of its attack power at this moment.

He didn't dare to try, and withdrew his power to dissipate the dark spirit fish.

This is a second-class mansion.

I really can't afford to pay for it if I break it.

But he knew.

With the added talents of [Water Control], [Critical Strike], and [Iron Bones], and the combined effects of [Water Spirit Gathering Technique] and [Water Condensation and Edge Transformation Technique], the dark spirit fish condensed using the Azure Water Sword as a guide has its power amplified dozens of times, and it definitely has a chance to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Shen Xuan took a deep breath.

He turned and went back to the training room to continue practicing the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique]!
With his current spiritual power, he can advance the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique] to the minor completion stage!

At that time, the power will increase several times over.

The strength is greatly increased.

He was then confident that he could leave Yunyuan Immortal City and go to the East Sea to hunt demons and cultivate!
