Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 168 Thor's Wrath (10,000-word update, please subscribe)
Zhuang Ping bought a spot in the Blazing Sun Secret Realm. After entering, he met up with two other Foundation Establishment cultivators he had arranged to meet beforehand.

Everything was going smoothly at first.

They harvested some second-tier spiritual plants that were two or three hundred years old, and a fragment of a spiritual artifact.

If you know when to quit while you're ahead, you can still make some money.

As a result, the three of them, driven by greed, entered the core area of ​​the secret realm.

They encountered a second-tier superior-grade long-armed white ape and were chased all the way.

Zhuang Ping destroyed three second-tier puppets alone.

The talismans and elixirs consumed during this period are not included in this calculation.

A second-tier puppet is worth 15,000 spirit stones.

Zhuang Ping's life savings were wiped out in an instant, with most of them gone.

This is not bad.

It is said that about 30% of Foundation Establishment cultivators who enter the Blazing Sun Secret Realm perish.

Only then did Zhuang Ping realize what was happening.

The Blazing Sun Secret Realm is a calculated move by the three major families to reduce the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Qingyang Prefecture.

Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those willing to take the bait.

These independent cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage are beyond reproach by the three major families.

Wanting to seize opportunities without taking risks? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

The three major families only charged a small entrance fee to the secret realm; they didn't force you to go in.

Most of the monsters inside were raised by Master Lieyang back then, and now they have become quite powerful.

It has nothing to do with the three major families.

Shen Xuan had anticipated this.

Even if a pie were to fall from the sky, it wouldn't be for a rogue cultivator to pick it up.

In the world of cultivation, there is a strict hierarchy and rigid class system.

The major sects occupy the best spiritual veins, essentially forming a monopoly.

Cultivation families are small supporting companies that depend on monopolistic groups.

From top to bottom, they control cultivation resources layer by layer.

The most numerous independent cultivators are born to be exploited like cattle!
What's truly frightening is that many independent cultivators don't even have the right to be exploited like cattle or horses!
This morning.

The White Lotus Fairy arrived at Tingyu Pavilion early.

The two of them did some morning exercise in the morning light.

afterwards.

The White Lotus Fairy explained her purpose.

"Hiring someone to take revenge?"

"The reward is the essence blood of the Thunder Beast?"

"Can't I just pay with spirit stones?"

The White Lotus Fairy offered an explanation.

It turns out that there is a Chen family of cultivators in Tiancheng Prefecture, which is next to Qingyang Prefecture.

During a clan war, their entire clan was wiped out by the opposing side.

An elder from the Chen family, having established his foundation, fled to Qingyang Prefecture with the remaining dozen or so immortal seedlings.

They had some connection with the Zhou family.

After offering up the Chen family's legacy, he received the protection of the Zhou family, who were skilled in beast taming.

However, the hatred of the annihilation of his clan could never be forgotten.

Having lost their spiritual vein foundation, with only a dozen or so immortal seedlings remaining, the family's revival seems a distant prospect.

"Thunder Beast essence blood?"

Shen Xuan was somewhat tempted.

In the "Wilderness Wilderness Monster Atlas", the Thunder Beast is listed at the top.

It is a descendant of the ancient divine beast Thunder God, with a beast-like head and a dragon-like body. Slapping its abdomen can unleash the power of thunder.

"how many?"

"The essence and blood of the entire Thunder Beast."

Seeing that Shen Xuan was interested, the White Lotus Fairy immediately perked up.

"Rank?"

"At least a second-tier high-grade."

"That's it!"

Shen Xuan hesitated.

Thunder Beast is likely to have both lightning and water attributes, just like Electric Eel.

If it were just an ordinary second-tier water-attribute monster, Shen Xuan would immediately refuse.

But what about the Thunder Beast...?

The image of Lei Yaoyang, the face he loathed so much, flashed through Shen Xuan's mind.

The grade of the Jade Electric Eel is still too low.

The [Overturning Sea Lightning Technique] plundered from it has limited power.

If it were a Thunder Beast, it would definitely be very different.

"This matter is extremely risky, Bai Lian, please explain in detail."

It turns out that the Chen family elder who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage was the White Lotus Fairy's maternal uncle.

After entrusting the fairy seedling to the Zhou family, he remained depressed.

The world of cultivation is very realistic.

The destruction of the Chen family is a foregone conclusion.

Without sufficient incentive, no one will be willing to stand up for them.

Even the Zhou family, who controlled beasts, only took them in after they inherited the Chen family's legacy.

There is absolutely no way we can help them get revenge.

Although this Thunder Beast's essence blood is valuable, it wouldn't fetch more than ten thousand spirit stones at an auction.

It is only because Shen Xuan's cultivation method is special that he receives special attention.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "How does your great-uncle want to take revenge?"

"It's very simple. Just kill one Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sun family."

That cultivator was the mastermind behind the massacre of the Chen family.

Shen Xuan pondered for a long time.

Killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sun family is not difficult.

If you're determined, you can always find an opportunity.

“Shen Lang, it’s easy! The Sun family’s Mingfeng Mountain is very close to the Canglang River.”

The White Lotus Fairy urged.

She was well aware of Shen Xuan's strength.

A synthesis of various water-related techniques.

At the bottom of the river, its combat power surpasses that of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"First of all, I must not reveal my identity."

"Secondly, I need to obtain the essence blood of the Thunder Beast."

"Finally, the timeframe needs to be long. I need to wait for the perfect moment to strike."

The White Lotus Fairy beamed with joy.

"no problem!"

"A year should be enough!"

"Three years!"

Shen Xuan said irritably, "The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Sun family are not so easy to deal with!"

"If others can't do it, then Shen Lang can easily win it over!"

Shen Xuan grabbed Bai Lianxianzi's arm and slammed her heavily onto the bed.

"That's easy!"

Then, it pounced on it viciously!
……

a few days later.

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan looked at the small golden characters flashing on the mysterious jade talisman and sighed.

[Plunderable Talents: Thor's Wrath, Command of Wind and Rain, Soul Shock]

Shen Xuan chose [Thor's Wrath].

[Talent: Thor's Wrath (12/100)]

【Daoyun: 2618】

It increased the Daoist Rhyme Points by more than 400 points in one go.

It's the highest among all the monsters!

[Spiritual Root: Water 67/100]

The water elemental root's perception level has increased by a full four points!
It's at least a second-tier superior grade!
Shen Xuan felt a surge of joy.

The time required to plunder and refine this mysterious jade talisman is usually longer than usual.

It took a full six months for the Thunder Beast's essence blood to be fully refined.

[Talent: Thor's Wrath Proficiency (8/200)]

【Daoyun: 7236】

That night.

Shen Xuan left Feiyun Mountain.

They arrived at a remote mountaintop to conduct the experiment.

【Thor's Wrath】 and 【Overturning the Seas with Lightning】 are somewhat similar.

They all utilize their bloodline talents to condense and unleash thunderous spiritual power.

"Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the fundamental force that commands all things."

Shen Xuan uses his human body as a microcosm to sense the vast universe, and masters the power of thunder by cultivating the Yin and Yang energies within his bloodline talent.

He formed hand seals, and arcs of lightning flashed across his body.

At the same time, the heavens and earth resonated, yin and yang fluctuated, and the spiritual power of thunder rapidly condensed and circulated.

"Fuck!"

A streak of azure lightning, radiating a chilling aura of destruction, danced on Shen Xuan's fingertips.

The surrounding air crackled and popped incessantly, with explosions echoing everywhere.

"disease!"

With a loud "boom".

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, shot out and struck the opposite mountain peak, unleashing a blinding flash of light that shook the heavens and the earth!
A small hill was forcibly split in two!

"hiss!"

Shen Xuan gasped.

The power of Thor's Wrath is terrifying!
It's three times the power of the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman]!
In other words, it's equivalent to a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment stage Thunder Magic cultivator!
This is only the proficiency stage.

Shen Xuan felt a surge of excitement.

Shen Xuan estimated that once the [Wrath of Thor] was mastered, it would be enough to rival Lei Yaoyang's thunder magic.

Even if there are differences, they won't be too significant.

In addition, [Thor's Wrath] can greatly increase his lightning resistance and increase his lightning magic defense.

The gloom that had been weighing on Lei Yaoyang's heart for so long was finally dispelled!

Shen Xuan looked delighted.

Without hesitation, he added all seven thousand points of Daoist energy to [Thunder God's Wrath].
