Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 112 Qingyuan's Demise (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

pity.

The imagination is wonderful.

The reality is very cruel.

Originally, when Master Qingyuan used the advanced-level [Water-Splitting Technique], the water in front would automatically part to create a path.

Unexpectedly, just as the waterways parted, the water flow behind them converged and gathered again.

A figure in green stood in the sea ahead.

The finger can quickly change its movement technique.

Water control technique!
Iron Bone Technique!
Critical Strike!
【Silver Hook Snake Venom Technique】!
The Technique of Overturning Rivers and Seas!
【The Art of Condensing Water to Transform a Sharp Edge】!
【Water Spirit Gathering Technique】!
【Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique】!
When Master Qingyuan used his Water-Clearing Technique to separate the waterways again...

Shen Xuan has finished casting the spell.

The Azure Water Sword shone with dazzling spiritual light.

"disease!"

With a clear shout.

The eight techniques combined to form a terrifying sword aura of immortal-slaying water qi, carrying an invincible aura of destruction, which shot towards Daoist Qingyuan.

"No!"

Master Qingyuan let out a startled roar, simultaneously summoning the Azure Nether Sword and the Shadow Sword, and unleashing the [Water Spirit Gathering Technique] to add more than a dozen layers of spiritual energy shield to himself.

Not only that.

He also activated several second-tier defensive talismans, continuously adding to the spiritual energy shield.

"Ding!"

The sword energy of the Immortal-Slaying Water Qi deflected the Azure Nether Sword and the Shadow Sword, and struck the spiritual energy shield of Daoist Qingyuan, instantly piercing through several layers of the shield.

"Shen Xuan, stop! I have something to say!"

Inside the spiritual energy shield, Elder Qingyuan's face was withered, his qi and blood were exhausted, and blood seeped from his facial features. He hurriedly said in a loud voice.

As a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Azure Water Sect, he never expected to be beaten so badly by Shen Xuan.

Originally, he had forcibly broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage using a Breakthrough Pill.

Among the many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the Azure Water Sect, he was one of the weakest.

Otherwise, why would they keep being assigned to handle all sorts of mundane tasks that offer no benefit?

Shen Xuan ignored him completely.

He unleashed the Heavy Water Seal, absorbing the spiritual power of the East Sea's waters, making it as heavy as ten thousand pounds, and slammed it down fiercely towards Daoist Qingyuan.

Break the law with force!

"Click" sound!
Under the dual attack, Master Qingyuan's spiritual energy shield continued to dim, and the cracks widened.

Shen Xuan pointed at the Azure Water Sword, guiding it with his divine sense to increase the output of spiritual power.

The sword energy of the Immortal-Slaying Water Qi surged, its cold light flashing.

Master Qingyuan unleashed the advanced-level [Water-Repelling Technique] in an attempt to eliminate the water spirit energy on the Azure Water Sword.

The result was futile.

His spiritual energy shield could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed instantly.

Master Qingyuan felt utterly hopeless.

The Shen Xuan before him was only at the peak of Qi Refining, but his strength far exceeded his expectations.

He wanted to seize Shen Xuan's opportunity.

The agency was too smart to calculate, and it wasted Qingqing's life.

The sharp, piercing sword energy of water shredded Master Qingyuan's heart and tore apart his internal organs.

Master Qingyuan collapsed onto the seawater, barely alive, his body bobbing and swaying with the waves.

"Shen Xuan, you did this on purpose..."

In his last moments before death, Master Qingyuan finally understood.

From beginning to end, Shen Xuan had absolute confidence in killing him.

A flash of sword light beheaded Master Qingyuan.

Master Qingyuan, a senior elder of the Biyue Sect in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, ambushed Shen Xuan out of greed, but the attack backfired and he perished.

"Actually, I didn't want to!"

Shen Xuan's expression remained calm.

He skillfully retrieved the storage bag and two flying swords from Master Qingyuan's body.

Now, he has nothing to worry about.

In any case, he will not enter the territory of the Azure Water Sect in the short term.

This ambush by Master Qingyuan was actually outside of his plan.

If Master Qingyuan doesn't come, he will pretend not to know.

After laying the foundation, wait for the right time to act.

Ruan Siting did not invite him to the foundation-building ceremony.

Shen Xuan suspected that it was Qingyuan Daoist who did it.

They harbor ill intentions and have ulterior motives.

But I'm not entirely sure.

As long as Master Qingyuan stops targeting him.

Shen Xuan couldn't do anything about him.

After all, he was a mid-Foundation Establishment elder of the Azure Water Sect.

Shen Xuan was unwilling to offend these sect cultivators.

However, Master Qingyuan was too arrogant.

Shen Xuan's years of planning and material gathering for foundation building could not be hidden from him.

Master Qingyuan is quite old.

If I don't break through soon, my lifespan will be over, and I really can't wait any longer.

After investigating Shen Xuan's background, Daoist Qingyuan waited at the confluence of the East Sea and the Longze River, a crucial point on Shen Xuan's best route to the Qingyun Sect.

In fact, Shen Xuan really didn't want to run into Master Qingyuan here.

Having just killed Zheng Jinyi, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, we need to let him recover a bit.

He's not a murderous monster.

If you really encounter it, there's nothing you can do.

The truth is revealed; there's no need to pretend anymore.

Only one of the two can survive.

When Shen Xuan reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, he killed Bai Xinghe of the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

Now that he has reached the peak of Qi Refining, he has also plundered two high-level talents: [Silver Hook Serpent Venom] and [Overturning Rivers and Seas].

In addition, there is the sect-protecting water technique, the [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique].

Their strength has increased more than tenfold!
We are confident of victory against the bottom-ranked Foundation Establishment cultivator from the previous sect!
……

"Low-grade magic weapons: the Azure Nether Sword and the Dark Sword!"

"Seven thousand spirit stones!"

"Second-tier elixirs and talismans!"

Inside a water cave at the bottom of the Longze River.

Shen Xuan checked Qingyuan Daoist's storage bag and felt happy.

As expected of a senior Foundation Establishment elder of the Azure Water Sect.

He is far wealthier than Elder Wei of the Five Poisons Sect and Bai Xinghe of the Crimson Rainbow Sect.

"Huh, they even have Foundation Establishment Pill materials here?"

"Good quality, I'll take it!"

Shen Xuan was overjoyed when he saw the medicinal herbs in the brocade box.

Some of these medicinal herbs are even better than those he collected.

He suspected that Master Qingyuan had intended to use these medicinal herbs to lure and kill him.

Otherwise, he would have spent many years building his foundation.

Why bother collecting these foundation building materials!

After Shen Xuan finished counting the spoils of war.

We walked out of the water cave.

It no longer appears on the river surface.

Instead, it lies at the bottom of the river, its body resembling a blue-feathered fish, directly controlling the water to move.

Logically speaking, Master Qingyuan should have kept his ambush of him a secret.

Even though his soul tablet left in the sect was shattered.

They wanted to find out about Shen Xuan.

It will also take some time.

However, just to be on the safe side.

Shen Xuan continued his journey at a rapid pace, quickly leaving the territory of the Azure Water Sect.

When passing by Qinglongwan Market.

He also deliberately avoided it.

The most urgent task is to lay the foundation.

As long as he successfully establishes his foundation.

All the troubles will be resolved.

……

half a month later.

Shen Xuan emerged from the bottom of the Longze River, changed his appearance, and arrived at Longmen Market once again.

As planned, Ding Yuyao, under the protection of Yu Zhenxiu, arrived ahead of schedule with the Tianfu Business Alliance.

Shen Xuan arrived at Juxianlou and found Wang Fugui.

Sure enough, Ding Yuyao had been arranged by him to stay at the sect's inn.

With Lü Zhengying as his backer, Wang Fugui is now considered a prominent figure in Longmenfang Market.

Upon seeing Shen Xuan arrive as promised, Ding Yuyao burst into tears of joy.

"Husband!"

The hardships of life eventually left their mark on Ding Yuyao's face.

Twenty-four years have passed since they met and got married.

The sixteen-year-old girl of yesteryear is now in her forties.

Even with the elixir of youth and the Jade Maiden Scripture, one cannot resist the erosion of time.

Ding Yuyao gazed at Shen Xuan, her eyes filled with tenderness and concern.

"My wife, all is well!"

Shen Xuan smiled and took Ding Yuyao's hand as they checked into the sect's inn.

After a long and arduous journey, constantly on guard, Shen Xuan was exhausted.

That night, Shen Xuan held Ding Yuyao in his arms, listening to her dreamlike murmurs.

As she spoke, tears began to stream down Ding Yuyao's face.

"Husband, are you about to establish your foundation?"

"Ah."

"May my husband's path in the Dao be long and prosperous!"

Ding Yuyao's pretty eyes were filled with confusion.

"After my husband achieves Foundation Establishment, I am but a mortal, and it is no longer appropriate for me to follow him!"
