Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 100 Flying Sword Tempering (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Shen Xuan decided not to explore the Water Mansion Secret Realm.

However, he couldn't swallow his anger at being harassed by the Zheng family cultivators.

The Water Mansion Secret Realm Treasure Map is imprinted on a jade slip by a cultivator using their powerful divine sense.

With Shen Xuan's current level of spiritual power, he can easily copy and back it up on a blank jade slip.

Next, Shen Xuan directly copied over a hundred copies of the Water Mansion Secret Realm Treasure Map.

late at night.

Shen Xuan secretly slipped out and used [Insight Technique], [Invisibility Technique], and [Concealment Technique] to randomly throw more than a hundred Water Mansion Secret Realm Treasure Maps into various conspicuous locations throughout the Immortal City.

After doing all this, Shen Xuan returned home, feeling clear-headed and in a good mood.

Sure enough, the next day, many cultivators found the treasure map of the Water Mansion Secret Realm.

At first, I thought it was a prank.

But soon, news came.

The Water Palace Secret Realm Map is real!

Following the map, a water-based cultivator found the entrance to a secret water palace!
It is about 30 miles away from Silver Hook Island.

The Zheng family monks hastily withdrew.

The sea area of ​​the Water Mansion Secret Realm is even more chaotic!
Every day, cultivators perish.

Every day, cultivators reap rewards from the Water Mansion Secret Realm.

All of this has nothing to do with Shen Xuan.

He finally returned to a peaceful life.

He practiced cultivation, made talismans, instructed Zhu Yingying in her training, and gave feedback to Xia Muqing on talisman making.

When Zhu Yingying's training did not meet the requirements, he slapped her buttocks without any hesitation.

It has to be said, youth is a wonderful thing.

It feels very good!
……

The days passed by.

The exploration of the Water Palace Secret Realm is becoming increasingly in-depth.

It is said that some cultivators have obtained extremely high-quality Foundation Establishment spiritual items from them.

As luck would have it, the Water Mansion Secret Realm is nestled between Silver Hook Island and Bright Sun Island.

The Huang and Zheng families turned against each other and fought fiercely over ownership of the Water Mansion Secret Realm.

Later on, even the Huang clan patriarch and the Zheng clan patriarch got involved.

The two fought fiercely, leaving each other severely injured.

The two groups of cultivators became mortal enemies, fighting whenever they met.

Shen Xuan just took it as a joke and listened to it without a second thought.

He was 99% certain that he could lay the foundation for his path.

It has prepared clear waters and jade-like scenery.

I never had much enthusiasm for Foundation Establishment spirit objects.

The Foundation Establishment Pills needed are rarely seen in Cloud Abyss Immortal City.

Write a letter to Wen Zijian.

Only then did I realize that his Foundation Establishment Pill was also made from demon cores.

Shen Xuan had no choice but to be patient.

While cultivating, he also inquired about the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Soon, under Shen Xuan's guidance, Xia Muqing was promoted to a low-grade talisman master.

The success rate of the [Invisibility Talisman] and [Concealment Talisman] exceeds 30%.

Xia Muqing and her family of three visited with gifts, expressing their deepest gratitude.

Rao Baiyi even brought his family's inherited array formation techniques, "The Essentials of Rao Family Array Formations".

Although it's a backup version.

However, it also recorded more than a dozen practical first-order formations.

Shen Xuan accepted it without hesitation.

The art of formations is profound and complex.

There are similarities between the Dao and the Fu Dao.

Take a look occasionally to broaden your horizons and learn by analogy.

Practicing some common formations makes things much easier when you're in the wild.

Shen Xuan personally instructed Xia Muqing for two hours.

Point out her shortcomings and areas for improvement.

If Xia Muqing studies and practices diligently for a period of time to improve her success rate, she will be able to obtain a stable income.

This was a life-saving grace for her family of three.

……

Zhao Chunsheng is getting busier and busier.

His cultivation shop is booming.

Starting from the day Shen Xuan became acquainted with him.

Twenty years.

Shen Xuan broke through from the third level of Qi Refining to the ninth level in one go.

Zhao Chunsheng broke through from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level.

Moreover, judging from his tone, this is pretty much his limit.

I have no intention of continuing my spiritual practice.

Nowadays, Zhao Chunsheng's favorite thing to do is to collect the essence and blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent from all over the place.

Then give it to Shen Xuan to make the "Silver Hook Snake Venom Talisman," which is then sold at a high price.

While high-quality Water Escape Talismans can certainly be profitable, the Silver Hook Serpent Venom Talisman is worth ten times the price of a high-quality Water Escape Talisman!
The demon hunters even begged Zhao Chunsheng to sell them, placing orders well in advance.

This is Shen Xuan's unique second-tier poison talisman.

This is the only branch; there are no other branches.

It is highly toxic and can threaten even Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It's worth the price, no matter how expensive it is.

Shen Xuan remained calm about this.

Zhao Chunsheng acquired the essence and blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent, and then crafted some Silver Hook Serpent Venom Talismans.

The ordinary ones were given to him to sell, while the high-quality snake venom talismans were kept for future use.

On this day, after Ruan Siting completed his foundation building, he was out on business when he passed through Yunyuan Immortal City.

He made a special trip to visit Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan treated him with great hospitality, personally brewing him spiritual tea.

The two chatted and drank tea in the backyard, discussing their experiences in spiritual practice.

Besides the insights gained during the foundation-building process.

Shen Xuan also wanted to inquire about the improvement of the quality of the Azure Water Sword.

The Azure Water Sword in his hand was obtained from Ding Yixuan.

It was originally a top-grade flying sword.

It has been nurtured for more than ten years using the spiritual power of the vast ocean in the dantian.

The Azure Water Sword is standard issue for inner disciples of the Azure Water Sect.

Once someone like Ruan Siting has established his Dao foundation, he should have a way to upgrade the quality of the Azure Water Sword to the level of a magic weapon.

"It's true!"

Ruan Siting told him.

Once an inner disciple successfully establishes their foundation...

Then one can hire a sect weapon refiner to temper the Azure Water Sword for free.

After a period of nurturing, it will take shape as a prototype of a magical artifact.

Over time, nurtured with the liquid spiritual energy of Foundation Building, it will eventually evolve into a flying sword magic weapon.

"Spirit tempering?"

This means that Shen Xuan's Azure Water Sword can also be upgraded into a flying sword magic weapon.

Afterwards, Shen Xuan inquired about the foundational chapters of the [Condensing Water to Transform Edge Technique] and the [Water Spirit Condensing Essence Technique].

These two techniques are now his main means of combat.

Limited by one's cultivation level, experience gains become slow after achieving minor success.

Considering that Shen Xuan might not necessarily return to Yunyuan Immortal City after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

It's best to be prepared and acquire these two foundational water-based techniques in advance.

"Brother Shen, the sect will not sell the Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques and spells to outsiders!"

A hint of sympathy flashed in Ruan Siting's eyes.

"Only members of the Azure Water Sect can exchange for it using sect contribution points. Like the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is strictly forbidden to sell it to outsiders!"

Shen Xuan looked disappointed.

He had thought that by purchasing these two books on the foundation of water magic in advance, he could speed up his cultivation of water magic and reach mastery as soon as possible.

At that time, his power will greatly increase, and he will no longer fear ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Unexpectedly, the Azure Water Sect is not magnanimous at all.

The Water Method for Cultivating Qi is overused.

The Foundation Building chapter is strictly controlled.

About this question.

Ruan Siting told him frankly.

There is no other way but to join the Azure Water Sect.

Never go to the black market.

That was a trap set by the Azure Water Sect.

It is specifically designed to hunt down rogue cultivators who plot against the Biyue Sect's Water Magic Foundation Establishment Technique.

"Brother Shen, you really shouldn't have refused Master Qingyuan's kindness last time!"

Ruan Siting said with a sigh.

“I can also recommend Brother Shen. However, I have just established my foundation and do not have the connections and background of Daoist Qingyuan, so I may not be able to make an exception.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Ruan! We'll discuss this later!"

"By the way, most of the people celebrating my Foundation Establishment were my fellow disciples and friends from other sects. I hope you won't mind that I didn't invite you."

Shen Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

His face remained expressionless.

"Not at all! Even if Senior Ruan had invited me, I would have been too embarrassed to go. It would have just been an extra gift!"

……

After seeing Ruan Siting off, Shen Xuan returned to the training room.

He took out Ruan Siting's invitation to the foundation-building ceremony and placed it on the table in front of him.

Use the technique of "attracting good fortune and avoiding misfortune" to its fullest extent.

Gradually, a feeling of palpitation spread through Shen Xuan's body.

As it progressed, my hair stood on end!

"Damn! This is terrible! My life is in danger!"

Shen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his heart pounding wildly.

An image of a kind-faced, venerable old man appeared in his mind.

It was none other than Qingyuan Daoist, a senior Foundation Establishment elder of the Biyue Sect whom I had dealt with twice before!
