Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 144 Reunion with Murong

Chapter 144 Reunion with Murong (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, a cultivator's life undergoes a transformation.

Compared to the Qi Refining Realm, the difference in physical body, spiritual power, and divine consciousness is like heaven and earth.

Lifespan alone doubled.

Even those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage can live for over two hundred years.

However, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, it becomes much more difficult to improve one's cultivation level than when reaching the Qi Refining Realm.

A low-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, after decades of cultivation, reaches the upper limit upon breaking through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After that, you will encounter a bottleneck and stagnate.

Throughout their lives, they often get stuck in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and are unable to break through to the later stage.

Even with a superior spiritual root, it takes at least a dozen years to break through a minor realm.

Like Qin Yuehan, who has a mid-grade Dao Foundation and a Green Wood Spirit Body, she has been at the early stage of Foundation Establishment for thirty years.

However, Qin Yuehan vaguely sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough.

In order to successfully break through the bottleneck, she decided to go to the Shadow Forest and use the "Purple Essence Divine Wood" to condense it and stimulate the potential of her own Green Wood Spirit Body.

"Although I am not a special spirit, I am full of talents and can constantly replenish various talents."

"My water-elemental root aptitude can also be continuously improved. A hundred years in the Foundation Establishment stage is enough time for me to improve to a Heaven-grade spiritual root."

"The most important thing we need to do right now is to strengthen our immediate combat capabilities."

Shen Xuan already had a plan in mind.

First, I devoted most of my time and energy to diligently practicing the main cultivation technique, the Divine Treasure Ocean Technique, and the three water-based techniques: the Condensing Water and Transforming Edge Technique, the Water Spirit Gathering Yuan Technique, and the Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique.

Second, strengthen your innate skills in a targeted manner. Perfecting [Water Control] and achieving [Immense Strength] will significantly boost your combat power.

Third, add some auxiliary measures. Two Taiyin Corpse Beasts, dozens of high-quality lightning talismans and high-quality poison talismans.

Fourth, use a water purification bottle to condense the essence of various waters to improve the ability to respond to extreme situations.

During the foundation-building stage, many factors determine the outcome of a battle.

Magical artifacts and spells often play a decisive role.

Shen Xuan's three spells are all water-based, and the presence of abundant water spiritual energy nearby directly affects the power of his water spells.

Therefore, Shen Xuan spent a lot of money to ask Qin Yuehan to purchase a mid-grade magic treasure, the Purifying Water Bottle.

This bottle has the property of changing its size at will, and its main function is to refine water spiritual energy.

It has a volume of over 100 cubic meters.

Shen Xuan throws in three mid-grade spirit stones every day, refining them with his spiritual power and divine sense, and then infusing them into the spiritual water in the bottle.

Over the course of six months, a total of 50,000 spirit stones were consumed.

The Hundred Essence Water has been successfully condensed in its initial stage.

Shen Xuan made an estimate.

A mid-grade spirit stone can restore about 30% of his spiritual power.

The spiritual energy contained in the purified water bottle was 150 times that of the spiritual power within his body!
If that's the case, he still won't be able to defeat his opponent.

There is only one reason.

The other party is at a higher level of life.

A Core Formation True Person, or a Demon Core Ancestor or a Third-Order Demon King of the same level as a Core Formation True Person.

Shen Xuan's goal is very clear.

He devoted himself to cultivation and continuously improved his strength.

The premise is that others don't provoke him.

Of course, the White Lotus Fairy is not included in this category.

……

The White Lotus Fairy went to the East Sea.

Two months later, she returned.

They also brought out the essence and blood of the Silver Gully Sea Serpent.

As promised, Shen Xuan bought the poison talisman at a high price and exchanged it for her.

The White Lotus Fairy's heart bursts with rage.

He immediately engaged in a unique friendly match with Shen Xuan.

Then, the White Lotus Fairy made a surprising discovery.

Shen Xuan seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

Significant progress has been made in all aspects.

It's not just about strength.

Even the time has been extended considerably.

This time, the White Lotus Fairy finally believed it.

Shen Xuan did not take the medicine.

Purely based on physical strength.

Three-drug.

Not to mention tonics, even those precious elixirs contain toxicity.

It's just a matter of varying depths.

Elixirs can indeed accelerate the pace of cultivation to some extent.

Taking too much can have obvious side effects, such as impure spiritual energy and an unstable foundation in one's cultivation.

Simply relying on drugs to endlessly improve one's cultivation level is simply not feasible!
Any kind of elixir, if taken too often, will lead to drug resistance.

Moreover, it damages one's spiritual roots and foundation.

This is also why Shen Xuan would rather use the Spirit Locking Array than take a elixir.

With the help of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent's essence blood provided by the White Lotus Fairy, Shen Xuan successfully pushed the [Silver Hook Poison] to the Great Perfection level.

……

Time flies by.

Shen Xuan has been supporting the Feiyun Su family in Qingyang Prefecture for four years now.

During these four years, the Talisman Hall founded by Shen Xuan trained three mid-grade talisman masters. Su Xue'er's younger brother, Su Kepeng, was among them.

At the same time, Shen Xuan collaborated with the Su family to produce thunder talismans, bringing the Su family a gross income of over 100,000 spirit stones every year.

It can be said that he exceeded the support tasks assigned by his master.

Next, he will accompany Qin Yuehan to the Shadow Forest.

Help her collect "Purple Essence Divine Wood" and solidify the Green Wood Spirit Body.

This is related to Qin Yuehan's path in cultivation.

Although Qin Yuehan did not say it explicitly.

However, she solidified her Green Wood Spirit Body in preparation for breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Some of them also used this opportunity to demonstrate their potential, attract the attention of the sect, and dispel Lei Yaoyang's covetous intentions.

Shen Xuan tested the technique of "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" multiple times.

No near misses.

It wasn't as terrifying as facing Murong Jun directly.

The risks are within a controllable range.

At least, it won't endanger your life.

The Shadow Forest is very active.

The location of the "Purple Sacred Tree" is in a deeper area of the Shadow Forest, not yet within the core area.

Logically speaking, the demonic birds and beasts entrenched there were only at the second tier.

Shen Xuan had read some cultivation classics.

It records that human cultivators and demon cultivators have a certain tacit understanding.

Those who have reached the Core Formation stage or are at least a third-tier demon king are not allowed to enter the other party's territory without authorization, nor are they allowed to attack without cause.

This is merely the opinion of one person in a certain cultivation classic.

Shen Xuan, however, thought there was some truth to it.

Humans, demons, and demonic cultivators alike.

Upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, they all became the ruling class of their respective regions.

There's no need for a life-or-death struggle.

It is easier for each party to maintain order and extract resources from the vast number of people at the bottom.

The information about the "Purple Divine Tree" was given to me by my master, Master Gufeng.

She also specifically requested that Shen Xuan accompany Qin Yuehan.

A trip to the Shadow Forest is now imperative.

Shen Xuan postponed the date by two years.

After condensing the hundred kinds of spiritual water and refining two second-tier corpse beasts, [Water Control] is perfected, [Silver Hook Poison] is mastered, and [Infinite Strength] is mastered.

In addition, there are over a hundred high-quality lightning talismans and high-quality poison talismans.

Only in this way could Shen Xuan have confidence.

"Now, even if I am not in a place with abundant water, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier demonic birds and beasts cannot harm me in the slightest."

"How about we go and meet Murong Jun again?"

Shen Xuan pondered in his heart.

The shock and heart palpitations Murong Jun brought him last time left him unable to eat or sleep.

Just do it.

Shen Xuan went directly to Huangfeng Forest and specifically requested to meet with Murong Jun.

"Young Master Murong, do you still need a Thunder Talisman?"

"Shen made some recently, I'll sell you a few cheaply."

"How about three hundred spirit stones per sheet?"

Murong Jun's dark eyes were fixed on Shen Xuan.

Their gazes clashed silently in the air.

half an hour.

Murong Jun smiled.
