Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 103 Immortal-Slaying Water Qi (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

"Selling for as much as 30,000 spirit stones."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

There were still 31,000 spirit stones in the storage bag.

It was originally intended for the auction of Foundation Establishment Pills.

It now seems that Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely rare.

Instead, we should hunt down second-tier sea monsters, collect suitable monster cores, and ask an alchemist to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

If you're lucky, you might get two Foundation Establishment Pills.

There's even a possibility of producing high-quality works.

"Thirty thousand spirit stones is a bit expensive. Senior, could you offer a discount?"

Shen Xuan tried to lower the price.

"If you don't want it, then forget it!"

"The sect's water magic technique, I never imagined it couldn't even fetch a mere 30,000 spirit stones. It's not even worth a Foundation Establishment Pill! How pathetic!"

The white-haired old monk shook his head bitterly.

"Senior, wait!"

Somehow.

An extremely dejected feeling arose in his consciousness.

It was his innate ability to "seek good fortune and avoid misfortune" reminding him!
"Thirty thousand spirit stones, I'll take it!"

Having purchased the desired spell, Shen Xuan didn't linger and immediately left Luoying Market.

Now, he only has a little over a thousand spirit stones left in his storage bag.

Fortunately, apart from the Biochemical Fruit and the second-tier demon core, the other two main ingredients and eight auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill have also been collected.

The Azure Water Sword in his hand has also been upgraded to the prototype of a magic weapon.

No large expenditures are needed in the short term.

They managed to make ends meet by crafting Water Escape Talismans.

There were also Bai Xinghe's two magic treasures, some second-tier elixirs and talismans, and over a hundred self-made talismans.

Shen Xuan did not have unrealistic ambitions.

Before Foundation Establishment, raise your Water Spirit Root to 50 points, which is enough to reach the level of a superior spiritual root.

Now we're only three points away.

He has various talents.

Further enhance the power of the [Condensing Water to Condense Edge Technique] and [Water Spirit Gathering Yuan Technique].

At that time, he will be more at ease when facing threats at the Foundation Establishment level.

As for the reduction in net worth.

Shen Xuan, on the contrary, was not so anxious.

As long as you're strong, you can earn spirit stones anywhere!
Besides, he has the unique skill of making talismans by hand!
"If Foundation Establishment techniques are so expensive, then this [Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique] must be incredibly valuable!"

In killing Bai Xinghe, a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Crimson Rainbow Sect, he also obtained a corpse refining technique from his storage bag.

【Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique】.

"The Taiyin refines the body, restores the dead, and saves countless people..."

Shen Xuan read the text with his divine sense and was deeply shaken.

Authentic Taoist exercises!
After a cultivator is born, their innate aptitude is already determined, making it very difficult to improve their physique and physical constitution.

To better cultivate the path to immortality, one must find methods to strengthen tendons and bones.

The Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique is a unique skill that allows practitioners to undergo a complete transformation.

The price is death first.

The primordial spirit enters the Taiyin realm to cultivate, while the corpse left in the mortal world is like an ordinary person's remains, with its muscles decaying, blood sinking, and veins dissipating.

However, the internal organs do not decay, the bones are as white as jade, and the nails and hair grow normally.

Thus, after the merits are fulfilled, the primordial spirit, imbued with magical power, returns to the physical body.

It can instantly collect blood and nourish flesh, and generate fluids.

Not only was his physical body restored to its original state, but he also cultivated an indestructible immortal body, which was incomparable to his previous mortal body.

However, this method is extremely dangerous.

If the Taiyin corpse refining fails, the primordial spirit cannot return, and the feigned death becomes a real death, with the physical body completely turning into dust.

Historically, its users have all been elderly, dying monks.

Later it went astray and evolved into a technique for creating zombies.

Those who practice this skill apply it to the corpses of other people.

Thus, they refined "immortal corpses" that were impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears.

As an ally in defending against enemies.

This [Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique] is the main cultivation method.

The appendix contains records of some related techniques.

Shen Xuan took a look.

"Unfortunately, the authentic Taoist lineage has gone astray."

Honestly, Shen Xuan is not a good person.

But he still felt uneasy about having to use the corpses of cultivators to refine immortal corpses.

He was quite interested in one of the techniques.

It is called the "Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique".

Using the Taiyin Corpse Refining Method, various corpse beasts are created.

Once successfully refined, it can unleash 80% of the beast's original strength. After being cleansed and strengthened with special rare and precious materials, it can even possess several times the strength of the original beast.

"Let's talk about it later!"

……

At this moment, Shen Xuan was unaware.

After the transaction was completed, the white-haired old monk entered the simple hut.

Open the mechanism and enter the dark basement.

On the wall, a chain of fine gold and black iron bound a withered old woman, her bones clearly visible.

"Old man, you've tricked another water magic genius! How many is this now? The sixteenth?"

"You're mistaken. The eighteenth!"

"They're all dead! You killed them all! You old bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"

“I didn’t force them. Since they have received my kindness, they must bear the consequences of my actions.”

"Three hundred years! You've been holed up here for three hundred years, deceiving eighteen water magic geniuses into swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao that once they achieved success in their cultivation, they would go find that person, and they all died at that person's hands!"

The old woman said softly, "It's no use! That person is a prodigy of water magic, a Golden Core cultivator! You've already been beaten like this, what's the point!"

"Let me out. Let's find a place, forget the past, start over, and live a good life, okay?"

The white-haired old monk smiled.

His smile was particularly sinister.

He picked up a strange whip from the wall, which emitted streaks of lightning and thunder, and lashed it hard at the withered old woman!
A series of piercing screams echoed through the basement.

"Ouch! It hurts so much! You old bastard, you'll get what's coming to you!"

……

Shen Xuan's progress in cultivating the [Condensing Water to Form Edges] and [Water Spirit Gathering Technique] is not ideal.

After reading these two books on water-based foundational techniques, he understood the basic principles.

However, when it comes to actually doing it, it's never quite smooth.

Yes, I understand.

The spiritual power, consciousness, and physical body cannot keep up.

He was ultimately only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Although in every aspect it is comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

But the spiritual energy remained in a misty state.

It's nowhere near as effective as the liquid spiritual energy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

My cultivation has indeed accelerated somewhat.

However, the experience bar is still increasing slowly.

Shen Xuan did some calculations in his mind.

"It is impossible to achieve great success before reaching the peak of Qi Refining!"

However, I've barely scratched the surface of the [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique].

Its power is comparable to the minor-completion versions of the [Water Condensation Technique] and [Water Spirit Gathering Technique].

As a backup trump card, it's still worth looking forward to.

Aside from making talismans and disciplining Zhu Yingying, he had nothing else to do.

He continued to devote himself to spiritual practice.

The [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique] has enormous potential.

When one's spiritual practice reaches its peak, supernatural powers can be developed.

It is sufficient to deal with a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

He made enormous sacrifices for this water system.

Not only did they pay 30,000 spirit stones, but they also swore an oath to Heaven.

Once this water technique is perfected, one must avenge the white-haired old cultivator and kill his enemies.

However, that's a long way off.

We will use the "Auspiciousness-Attracting and Misfortune-Avoiding Technique" to probe ahead of time.

Fight if you can win, don't fight if you can't.

It's such a simple thing.

When is the time for retribution.

It's best to prioritize harmony!

Shen Xuan did not take the oath of Heaven to heart.

Why should a time traveler need to follow the oath of Heaven?

Preserving one's life should be the top priority in all things.

I practiced meditation all day.

Shen Xuan was exhausted.

I went to the public bathhouse and took a nice hot bath.

"Yingying!"

"coming!"

Zhu Yingying brought in hot water.

Seeing Shen Xuan's strong physique, a blush rose to her cheeks.

Hot water was poured in, and the water in the bathtub quickly began to steam.
