Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 188 Octopus Corpse Beast (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Listen to Yuxuan.

Shen Xuan looked at the intelligence jade slip sent by Lü Zhengying.

The war between the Daoist sect of Song and the Demonic sect of Liang has broken out on all fronts.

The border prefectures and counties between the two countries were engulfed in war and chaos.

The Qingyun Sect has increased the sect merits for slaying demons and monsters.

They even brought out some rare and superior techniques.

Among them were secret techniques personally passed down by a True Immortal of Core Formation.

Upon seeing this, Shen Xuan was startled.

The secret techniques personally passed down by a True Immortal of Core Formation are extraordinary.

Within the Qingyun Sect, very few Foundation Establishment cultivators are able to become disciples of Core Formation True Persons.

Learning such secret techniques is equivalent to starting on the same footing as a disciple directly taught by a master.

There may still be hope for achieving the Golden Core stage in the future.

Shen Xuan scanned the catalog of secret techniques personally passed down by the master with his divine sense.

Unfortunately, there are very few water-attribute items.

Even fewer deserve attention.

Only one technique, the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique], is worth considering.

Its effects are similar to his "Condensing Water and Transforming Sharpness Technique".

However, it places greater emphasis on the power of ice and cold, capable of freezing everything.

Shen Xuan just glanced at it and didn't take it to heart.

The [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique] is only slightly more than halfway complete.

There's no time or energy to practice other water-related techniques.

"The battle between the Dao and the Demon has only just begun, and there have already been so many casualties!"

Besides Senior Brother Zhu, seven other Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Qingyun Sect were injured and returned to the sect in disappointment.

Fortunately, no one perished.

However, in Shen Xuan's view, it was only a matter of time before the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect perished.

He certainly wouldn't actively participate in the conflict between Song and Liang, Dao and Demon.

Time flies by.

Soon, another year has passed.

Shen Xuan has been stationed at Feiyun Mountain for ten years.

Beside the pool of corpse beasts.

The White Lotus Fairy had a joyful expression on her face.

Under Shen Xuan's guidance, she completed the initial refining of the Mighty Water Ape Corpse Beast in just two years.

He channeled his divine sense into the body of the powerful ape demon.

He stood up unsteadily.

Just a few steps away.

It crashed to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

The White Lotus Fairy's pretty face turned bright red.

"Shen Lang!"

She thought that once the Water Ape Corpse Beast was refined, it would be able to unleash its power, dominate the world, and reign supreme in Qingyang Prefecture.

The Mighty Water Ape was the spirit beast of the Zhou family's ancestor.

Extraordinary strength.

If in water, his strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment water magic user.

"Just practice more!"

Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

He can't help with this kind of thing.

The bodies of cultivators are very different from those of demonic beasts.

There is an adaptation process required to control the corpse beasts as easily as one's own limbs.

Fortunately, as long as cultivators put their minds to it, adapting is only a matter of time.

Shen Xuan arrived at the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast Pool.

Divine thoughts moved slightly.

Eight tentacles, each ten feet long, emerged from the pool of corpse beasts.

Then, the elusive, shadowy octopus demonic body appeared before Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan attempted to channel his divine sense into the octopus-like corpse beast.

A feeling of exhaustion washed over me.

"Depend on!"

It's a mid-grade second-tier corpse beast, or even a special water monster like the Shadow Octopus.

Even after advancing to the second level of Foundation Establishment, Shen Xuan was still finding it somewhat difficult.

Water control, breath concealment, disguise, self-healing, water escape, ability to change size at will, innate intelligence, super memory, endless life force, three hearts and nine brains, bizarre eight arms...

A series of strange innate skills were unleashed from the Shadow Octopus.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shen Xuan's mental energy was almost completely depleted.

Release the Shadow Octopus back into the Corpse Beast Pool.

Shen Xuan was so tired that he could barely stand.

When he turned around, intending to go back to rest, what came into view was the dumbfounded White Lotus Fairy.

Her cherry-like mouth was slightly open, unable to close.

His eyes were filled with shock.

It was as if I were witnessing the most incredible thing in the world.

"Bai Lian, are you alright?!"

Shen Xuan gently patted her cheek.

"Shen Lang! Your corpse beast is a Shadow Octopus!" "That's right."

"That's a Shadow Octopus! A mid-grade, second-tier deep-sea monster!"

The mighty water ape that she cherished and painstakingly crafted over two years no longer tasted good.

The White Lotus Fairy pouted, "White Lotus too!"

"Only this one!"

"Besides, with your abilities, you can't control it!"

Shen Xuan did not lie to Fairy Bai Lian.

Just like monks.

The classification of monsters is based on their level of demonic power.

Generally speaking, the more demonic power one possesses, the higher one's combat strength.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can make up for the gap in strength by using magic treasures and cultivation techniques.

Monsters, on the other hand, can use their bloodline talents and skills to achieve a comeback.

The Shadow Octopus is an extremely powerful water monster from the deep sea.

Exceptional intelligence, immense strength, and numerous skills.

It is a dominant force among deep-sea sirens.

"Now that Shen Lang has this corpse beast, can he roam the East Sea?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! There are third-tier demon kings deep in the East Sea!"

Shen Xuan smiled.

"The coastal areas are not a big problem."

Having successfully crafted the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast, Shen Xuan now possessed a powerful trump card and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xuan purchased a jade spirit clam from the Huang family on Silver Hook Island and regularly harvests some of its essence and blood each month.

Advancing the proficiency of the [Water Spirit Absorption] skill will increase the Daoist essence gained, which will then be added to [Thunder God's Wrath].

[Talent: Minor Mastery of Water Spirit Absorption (688/800)]

[Talent: Thor's Wrath (Minor Mastery) (328/800)]

[Minor Success in the Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique (662/800)]

Shen Xuan's opinion of the Jade Spirit Clam is far superior to that of the Huang family of Silver Hook Island.

Besides the spirit-locking array providing spiritual energy.

Shen Xuan released some spiritual algae and aquatic insects into the spiritual pool.

Every so often, he would also pour the purified spiritual water from the water bottle into the spirit pool.

The amount of semen extracted each month should be controlled to within five catties.

The jade clam feels no pain.

In a year and a half, instead of getting thinner, it grew plump and content in the spirit pool.

When Shen Xuan extracted his essence blood, he did not resist at all.

Instead, she sent affectionate messages to Shen Xuan.

However, this is limited by one's cultivation level.

Even with the acceleration of [Water Spirit Absorption], the progress of [Thunder God's Wrath] and [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique] is still slow.

After all, these two techniques are of extremely high quality.

If it weren't for the mysterious jade talisman and his numerous talents, Shen Xuan would have had a hard time even getting started.

Shen Xuan was not in a hurry about this.

Having mastered the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast, his strength once again surged forward.

They could easily go to sea and hunt down mid-tier second-order water monsters.

Unless they are particularly perverted, they pose no threat to him.

"Once I've mastered the Mighty Water Ape technique, let's become pirates and raid other cultivators together!"

The White Lotus Fairy made the suggestion with great interest.

Shen Xuan couldn't resist the urge to slap her shapely buttocks.

But the White Lotus Fairy, who had foreseen this, dodged it.

"Shen Lang! The merchant ships at sea are all bandits!"

They were merchants in peacetime and thieves in wartime.

Very normal.

In the world of cultivation, where there is no order, gunfire represents truth.

Although Shen Xuan was only at the second level of Foundation Establishment.

With his mastery of various water techniques, his true combat strength is no less than that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Add the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast.

In areas with abundant water resources, one can completely dominate those in the late stages of Foundation Establishment.

"We must not be arrogant or complacent!"

"The world of cultivation is full of wonders!"

There's always someone better, so don't underestimate others!

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan leaped up.

He grabbed the White Lotus Fairy.

"Arrogant and complacent!"

"Bai Lian, if you continue like this, you will only harm yourself and others!"

"Didn't the Zhou family teach you to be humble?"

Shen Xuan raised his hand high and slapped the White Lotus Fairy's shapely buttocks hard.

"Shen Lang!"

The White Lotus Fairy's voice was filled with grievance.

As they continued playing, the sound changed.

The crisp "slap slap" sound transforms into a seductive moan!
The room was filled with a sweet and cloying atmosphere.
