Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 70 Extremely Good Luck (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

at this time.

The maidservant of the Biyue Sect shop was sitting on the counter, looking at the sparse customers in the shop with a bored expression.

These are all poor, aimless wanderers!
Her bonus for this month is going to be gone again.

Even within the same Yunyuan Immortal City, the competition among sect shops is fierce.

According to my senior sister from the inner sect, the sales volume of the sect shops in the core area is ten times that of hers.

The bonuses and commissions are so plentiful they're overflowing!
“Those who live in the East District are all a bunch of poor bastards!” the maid muttered.

"If there's an opportunity, we should still transfer him to the core area!"

At that moment, the voice of Ruan Siting, the shopkeeper, rang out from behind.

"Xiaomeng, have you managed to acquire the Black Jade Electric Eel?"

The maid quickly stood up, looking disappointed, and said, "Uncle Ruan, the buy-it-out sign has been put up at the shop entrance for a long time, but no one is selling it!"

"Not even a consultation?" Ruan Siting's voice was tinged with anxiety.

"No. I heard that shops in the core area are also buying up black jade electric eels; they'll definitely prioritize selling to those areas."

The maid asked, "Uncle-Master Ruan, I've noticed many fellow disciples discussing the Jade Electric Eel, and quite a few senior brothers and sisters are forming teams to hunt in the East Sea. Why is that?"

"Why? Of course, it's for the sect's contribution points!"

"Or, you could add the words 'heavy reward' to the acquisition notice."

"As long as you have the black jade electric eel, the price can be negotiated slowly."

Ruan Siting pondered for a moment and then gave her some instructions.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ruan, Xiaomeng knows what to do!"

After Ruan Siting left, the maid began to add the words "heavy money" to the purchase sign.

Shen Xuan happened to walk over and was slightly taken aback when he saw the contents of the acquisition notice.

……

VIP lounge of the store.

"Brother Shen, I've been quite busy lately, so I'm afraid I won't have time to have tea and chat with you," Ruan Siting said apologetically.

"Steward Ruan, I just came in and saw Xiaomeng writing a purchase order. Is there a shortage of Jade Electric Eels right now?"

"Brother Shen, you may not know this, but the flesh and blood of the Jade Electric Eel contain extremely rare lightning spiritual power. It is the main ingredient for some special lightning pills and talismans, and the sect is currently purchasing them at high prices."

As Ruan Siting poured spiritual tea for Shen Xuan, she explained.

However, seeing Shen Xuan's expression, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Shen, why do you ask about this? Could it be that you have something in your possession..." Ruan Siting asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

But soon, he shook his head.

Shen Xuan is a rogue cultivator and a talisman master. How could he possibly possess a high-grade special sea monster like the Jade Electric Eel?

I've been too eager for quick success lately, and my mindset has become chaotic.

This is not good!

Be steady!
Don't let Shen Xuan look down on you!
Shen Xuan took a small sip of spiritual tea and calmly said, "Steward Ruan, yesterday I went out to enjoy the sea view and clear my head, and guess what..."

Meeting Ruan Siting's suspicious gaze, Shen Xuan smiled.

"On the sea, several groups of cultivators were fighting, including some who used lightning magic. The battle was so fierce that the sun and moon were dimmed and the sky and earth were shattered."

“Steward Ruan, you know me. I’m not good at fighting, so I immediately left and found a secluded place to continue watching the sea and relaxing.”

"Who knew that a strange fish would float across the sea from where I was looking out over the ocean!"

Ruan Siting's face was full of disbelief: "No way!"

"Really! What a windfall! I quickly picked up the strange fish and took it home. Deacon Ruan, I came to see you today to ask you to identify whether this is the legendary Jade Electric Eel!"

Shen Xuan took out a storage bag, opened it, and handed it to Ruan Siting.

Ruan Siting glanced at it, her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the storage bag.

next moment.

"Brother Shen, it's been a long time since we last met. Let's have a good chat!"

What Shen Xuan took out was a complete black jade electric eel.

Soon, Shen Xuan's storage bag contained nine hundred and eighteen spirit stones.

A complete 200-pound black jade electric eel can sell for more than 900 spirit stones, which is beyond his expectations.

Seeing Shen Xuan's hesitant expression, they realized he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Ruan Siting smiled and said, "Brother Shen, don't worry. This price is definitely not unfair to you. I'm just trying to complete the sect's mission and leave a good impression on the sect's alchemists."

“Steward Ruan, actually, I found more than one Jade Electric Eel…”

Ruan Siting's friendship with the sect's alchemists was none of Shen Xuan's business. He also didn't want to get involved.

He just wanted to get rid of the black jade electric eel in his hand smoothly.

One Foundation Establishment Pill costs 30,000 spirit stones!
Starting today, he will start saving spirit stones, ensuring he can always come up with 30,000 spirit stones.

What if, by some stroke of luck, someone is willing to sell Foundation Establishment Pills?
Or perhaps it appeared at an auction?

Shen Xuan then took out a complete black jade electric eel.

"There's one more, a smaller one. I wonder if Steward Ruan would still be interested in buying it?"

Another storage bag was handed over, containing yet another small, complete black jade electric eel!

Ruan Siting immediately burst into laughter, his wrinkles spreading out like an old chrysanthemum.

"Brother Shen, you're right! The Azure Water Sect is an open business; if we say we'll buy at a high price, then we mean we'll buy at a high price!"

Shen Xuan's storage bag now contains another 876 spirit stones.

"Brother Shen is truly lucky. He only went out for a short while and managed to find two black jade eels! When I have some free time in a few days, I'd like to invite Brother Shen to watch the magic competition together. We can place a few bets and win some living expenses!" Ruan Siting exclaimed with admiration.

The Shen Xuan before us seemed shrouded in mystery.

He couldn't see through it at all.

"Well, Steward Ruan, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"Brother Shen, please speak!"

"If a monster's corpse loses some of its essence and blood, is it still worth anything?"

A hint of doubt flickered in Ruan Siting's eyes.

Soon, he asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that, Brother Shen?"

"That's right. Besides the two intact black jade electric eels, I also found several that had lost a lot of blood."

Half an hour later.

Shen Xuan glanced at the more than five thousand spirit stones in his storage bag and walked lightly out of the sect's shop.

Behind him stood Ruan Siting, whose expression was strange.

It wasn't until then that he realized what was happening.

These seven black jade electric eels were most likely hunted by Shen Xuan himself!
The wound on my neck looks very much like it was caused by the "Condensing Water and Transforming Sharpness Technique".

However, what ability does Shen Xuan, a rogue cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, have to kill seven black jade electric eels in one fell swoop?

unless……

Unless you master the [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique]!
how can that be!

Within the Azure Water Sect, those like him, who have reached the pinnacle of Qi Refining and have barely mastered the [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique], are extremely rare.

Could it be that he has a special talent for water magic and is a prodigy in water magic?
It's a pity, he's too old!

Ruan Siting sighed inwardly.

If Shen Xuan were thirty years younger, he would definitely recommend him to the sect.

"Over seventy years old, barely at the seventh level of Qi Refining, his path to cultivation is bleak, and there is no hope of Foundation Establishment!"

Shen Xuan had already left the shop and returned home with light steps.

"I currently have tens of thousands of spirit stones and more than ten high-grade magic artifacts."

"With some effort, it's quite possible to accumulate 30,000 spirit stones in a few years."

He didn't believe he had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

With a mid-grade spiritual root, one can attempt to establish a foundation.

Now, his water elemental root is as high as 31 points.

After plundering the talents of demonic beasts a few more times and raising them to 50 points, you will have a superior spiritual root!

With his various talents, including a strong physical body, pure spiritual power, and extraordinary divine sense, why couldn't he establish a foundation for his Dao?

Not only must we build a foundation for the Dao, but we must also build a superior foundation for the future formation of the Golden Core!

After making plans for the future, Shen Xuan was full of confidence.

Today went so smoothly, it's time to celebrate!
That evening, after taking a bath, Shen Xuan washed away his fatigue and felt refreshed.

Have a unique friendly match with my wife, Ding Yuyao.

From the bathhouse to the bedroom, from the bedroom to the backyard...

Have fun!

Having conserved his energy, he emerged victorious amidst his wife's pleas for mercy!
