Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 193 The Master Hunter (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Gu Yingjie gazed at the black warship, his face filled with worry.

"Father, Master Shen is a true disciple of the Qingyun Sect. If he is harmed by He Qing, will they hold our Gu family responsible?"

Patriarch Gu sneered.

"Does he really think he's some kind of Sea-Purifying Dragon? People just call him that for fun!"

"You said it yourself, Master Shen is a disciple of a True Person and is skilled in thunder talismans. He's not so easy to deal with!"

"That's true. However, even the strongest can't fight against many. He Qing has three Foundation Establishment cultivators on his side!"

"Not three, but four!"

The head of the Gu family narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing across his face.

"No matter how well they hide, they can't escape Ah Li's nose! There's another Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivator on their ship!"

A small blue beast appeared on the Gu family's shoulder, swirling in the wind.

It resembles a leopard in appearance, but is much smaller.

It was only the size of a raccoon dog, with bright red eyes, a short and bright tail, and even holding a small, grass-shaped green staff in its hand.

This is its spirit beast, the Azure Wind Fox.

Descendants of the ancient mythical beast, the Wind Fox, possessing a keen sense of smell.

"Wouldn't Master Shen be in even more danger then?"

The head of the Gu family gently shook his head.

His son is good in every way, except that he's a little soft-hearted.

"You should be more worried about those pirate raids!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Master Shen will come looking for us again!"

……

Shen Xuan walked slowly across the water.

"It's been a long time since I've received any spirit stones!"

Although Thunder Talismans are profitable.

Shen Xuan, however, kept all the high-quality thunder talismans.

After the share is handed over to the Su family, the remaining ordinary thunder talismans are only worth 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones a year.

Premium Thunder Talismans are for personal use only and are not included in the calculation.

As a result, his net income was quite modest.

Although poison talismans are more profitable in terms of spirit stones, their production quantity is unstable due to the limited availability of Silver Hook Sea Serpent essence blood.

A second-tier talisman master, skilled in unique lightning and poison talismans, earns only 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones a year, which is hardly presentable.

Reflecting on his own wealth.

The amount obtained from making talismans accounts for only a very small proportion.

The majority of the loot was obtained by looting corpses.

The best hunters always appear as prey.

With the [Insight Technique], Shen Xuan finally noticed the black warship accelerating its pursuit.

A smile flickered in his eyes.

In order to wait for the pirates to raid him, he didn't even summon the Silver-Winged Teng Snake Corpse Beast.

[Water Control] used only a very small portion of its power.

Its entire body was exposed on the sea surface.

The speed is only 20% of what it used to be.

The black warship quickly caught up to within thirty feet of Shen Xuan.

The dark, psionic cannon muzzle locked onto Shen Xuan's figure.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, stand there and don't move! Throw your storage bag and magic weapon over here!"

"Otherwise, the moment the psionic cannon fires, we'll be reduced to dust!"

The black-clad cultivator beside He Qing shouted loudly.

Shen Xuan smiled.

His body sank into the sea in an instant.

The psionic projectiles followed closely behind.

It was all for naught.

It exploded on the sea, creating a huge wave.

at this time.

A figure exuding an aura of death suddenly appeared on the deck of the black warship, moving with incredible speed.

"Master Black Bone, that person has dived into the sea."

"That's what the black-clad monk said."

The demonic cultivator known as "Black Bone Master" was a gaunt, sinister old man who held a snake-headed staff that made a hissing sound.

The snake-headed staff was actually a real, emerald-green venomous snake, its eyes sinister and vicious.

"You think you can escape now that you've encountered me, an old man?"

Point with your hand.

The snake-headed staff reverted to its original form as a turquoise venomous snake and leaped into the sea.

however.

Before the black-robed monk could even begin to praise him...

The black warship began to shake violently.

"what happened?"

Eight long tentacles gripped the black warship and dragged it into the sea.

"Shadow Octopus?"

"wrong!"

Master Black Bone immediately noticed the abnormality.

"This shadow octopus is dead!"

He was a disciple of the Netherworld Sect and was particularly sensitive to the aura of corpses.

He Qing's face was equally grim. By this point, he knew perfectly well that it was Shen Xuan of the Qingyun Sect who was behind this.

"Boss, what should we do?"

"What should we do? We've lost our warships, how are we supposed to survive?"

He Qing looked at his two Foundation Establishment stage deputies.

"Once we reach the shore, countless cultivators will attack us for the sect's rewards, leaving us utterly destroyed!"

"This person is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while the three of us are all at Foundation Establishment, and we also have the Venerable One here. What are we afraid of!"

"Let's attack together and finish him off quickly."

Upon hearing this, He Qing's two deputies readily agreed.

"it is good!"

In the blink of an eye, He Qing had already completed the arrangement.

"Second brother, you come with me into the water! Third brother, you command the crew and keep the warship under control!"

"If that person appears from the sea, bombard him with psionic energy! Don't worry about whether he lives or dies!"

"Remember, go all out and finish him off quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

Directly below the black warship.

Shen Xuan stared in surprise at the emerald green venomous snake before him.

"A top-grade first-tier demonic beast?"

"You dare to defy me?"

Upon closer inspection, it dawned on me.

"No wonder they're so bold, they've been fed with yin energy!"

"That bastard He Qing actually colluded with demonic cultivators!"

Compared to the chaotic mess on land, it was shrouded in shadows.

The sea area was relatively calm.

Pirate raiding is a highly specialized technical skill.

Very few demonic cultivators possess this skill.

"Perfect for my Yin-devouring demon worms to have some extra food."

Shen Xuan pointed.

After casting the [Water-Repelling Technique], the seawater churned, creating a vacuum between him and the emerald green venomous snake.

With a thought, a black cloud flew out of the insect bag, and thousands of Yin-devouring demonic insects spotted their prey and swiftly swept towards the emerald green venomous snake.

The emerald green venomous snake was terrified.

Before it could even react and escape, it was covered by layers of Yin-devouring demonic insects.

Soon, only a pile of snake bones remained.

……

On the black warship.

The expression on Black Bone Master's face suddenly changed.

"The serpent is dead! That man was a tough one!"

A cloud of black mist spread out.

The figure of the Black Bone Master vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already beside He Qing and the second brother.

At this moment, the two had just found Shen Xuan.

He Qing stared at Shen Xuan, his Bloodthirsty Blade magic weapon raised in front of him, radiating a dangerous aura.

The second brother beside him also summoned a pair of water-splitting magic weapons.

"We're all water-based cultivators, why bother!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out.

In his line of sight, the Bloodthirsty Blade, carrying a fierce aura, slashed straight down at him from above.

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

One after another, dark spirit fish leaped out of his body, transforming into layers of azure light spirit shields that tightly enveloped him, a total of nine layers.

The Bloodthirsty Blade struck the azure spiritual shield, causing only the first layer to dim slightly; the other eight layers remained completely still.

"Ding"!
The pair of Water-Splitting Spikes that launched a sneak attack were also deflected by the spiritual light shield.

"The Azure Water Sect's [Water Spirit Condensation Technique]! No wonder they're so arrogant!"

On the other side, He Qing didn't seem surprised.

The Foundation Establishment disciples of the Qingyun Sect are definitely not easy to deal with.

The Bloodthirsty Blade failed to achieve its purpose, which was exactly what he had expected.

However, He Qing was not discouraged.

We are all water-based cultivators.

Fighting in the sea requires endurance.

He is fully confident about this.

He Qing controlled the Bloodthirsty Blade, constantly attacking Shen Xuan and depleting his spiritual power.

The same applies to the second child.

Although the attack power of the Water-Splitting Thrust is weak, it has the effect of penetrating armor.

However, to their surprise...

Despite being surrounded by the two men, Shen Xuan remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

On the contrary, his and his second brother's spiritual power was gradually being depleted.

He Qing's face showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator have mastered the [Water Spirit Condensation Technique]?
"Please, Venerable One, make a move!"

He Qing said respectfully.
