Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 240 The Mysterious Cultivation of the Underworld (Please Subscribe)

Zhou Ziping smiled and gazed at Qianzhu Jushi.

He completely ignored Qi Wanqing and the Luo family cultivator.

His suggestion was highly technical.

This not only sowed discord between Qianzhu Jushi, Shen Xuan, Qi Wanqing, and the Luo family cultivators, but also demonstrated a sincere willingness to cooperate.

Regardless, the two of them secured three Xuanling Grasses.

He was certain that among Qianzhu Jushi's group, she was the only one at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and even then, she was a female cultivator with relatively weak strength.

They wouldn't dare to completely break off relations and engage in a battle with two mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators on their side.

Qianzhu Jushi did not express his opinion.

His eyes were fixed on Shen Xuan.

Logically speaking, the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo should have the highest level of spiritual cultivation.

She was seeking Shen Xuan's opinion.

Both Zhou Ziping and Mai Qingquan were somewhat surprised to see this scene.

Intelligence indicates that Shen Xuan is merely a rogue cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

I initially thought it was just something the Lin family used to make up the numbers.

Judging from the current situation, his status is not low.

Even the hermit of Qianzhu held him in such high regard.

This also led the two to reassess Shen Xuan's abilities.

"My name is Shen Ping, and I have a new suggestion."

Shen Xuan smiled as well: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Mai. These seven Xuanling Grasses were first discovered by a friend of mine."

“Your hearts are filled with greed, and you are tempted to rob, but in fact you have fallen into evil ways.”

"For the sake of the Guan family, I, Shen, will let this go and leave now!"

Shen Xuan's words immediately darkened the expressions of Zhou Ziping and Mai Qingquan.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, what do you mean by Fellow Daoist Shen's words?"

Qianzhu Jushi was also somewhat taken aback.

However, since Shen Xuan has already made his stance clear, she naturally has to stand firm.

"Fellow Daoist Shen's intention is the same as Qianzhu's intention."

Behind her, Qi Wanqing said smugly, "Zhou Ziping, Mai Qingquan, you two should get lost!"

"Don't say I didn't warn you. My brother Shen here has a temper! If you anger him, you'll be in big trouble!"

Shen Xuan glared at Qi Wanqing.

"Say less!"

Then, he took a step forward, each step covering three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and stood abruptly in front of the crowd.

He faced Zhou Ziping and Mai Qingquan, two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, all by himself.

Zhou Ziping and Mai Qingquan looked at each other, their hearts pounding.

In this situation, this person was actually fighting against both of them single-handedly?

In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme.

Without strength, you can't intimidate the other side.

They have struggled and fought in the cultivation world for many years, experiencing countless bloodshed and turmoil, before achieving their current level of cultivation.

At this point, everyone understood.

Shen Xuan, on the other side, was confident that he could defeat them.

Zhou Ziping was considering retiring, but he was also somewhat unwilling to give up.

In any case, the two Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators cannot back down just because of Shen Xuan's words.

If word gets out, how will we survive?

"Fellow Daoist Shen, what spirit!"

Zhou Ziping first tried to ease the tension.

The opposing team had four members, while his side only had two.

If a real fight breaks out, the outcome is uncertain.

"There are rules in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, and everyone who sees them gets a share. It's not difficult for Fellow Daoist Shen to let Fellow Daoist Mai and me leave."

"But shouldn't we at least witness Fellow Daoist Shen's abilities?"

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

"Stubborn!"

Actually, Shen Xuan had no intention of letting the two of them go.

These two men exuded a murderous aura and had taken many lives; they were clearly cultivators who had undergone tribulation.

Ordinary virtuous monks could not possibly commit so many acts of killing.

Now that they've run into each other, Shen Xuan has no reason to let them go.

Their wealth is one of the important reasons.

In addition, the seven Xuanling Grasses are of high quality and the guardian beasts are quite powerful.

If these two were to secretly return and launch a sneak attack while he was dealing with the guardian beast, it would be a troublesome situation.

In the Azure Cloud Secret Realm, the cultivators invited by the Guan and Zeng families were all Tribulation Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators.

Shen Xuan believed that a battle was inevitable.

Since that's the case, it's better to cut it off as soon as possible.

It's rare to have an excuse.

Shen Xuan seized the opportunity.

The Azure Water Sword automatically unsheathed itself, pointing at Zhou Ziping.

In just a few breaths.

The temperature plummeted.

Snowflakes began to fall within a ten-zhang radius of him.

Frost spread rapidly across the grass beneath our feet.

"You are an ice mage!"

Zhou Ziping, who was on guard, screamed in alarm.

However, after Shen Xuan finished performing the incantation, the [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] and the [Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique] merged together.

The Azure Water Sword transformed into a solidified, transparent ice dragon, carrying a terrifying aura that could freeze thousands of miles, and hurtled towards Zhou Ziping.

the other side.

Mai Qingquan was about to make a move.

A sound broke through the air.

Two spirit bamboo arrows flew towards them.

It was the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo who controlled the two spirit bamboo archers, firing arrows at Mai Qingquan repeatedly.

The other two sword and shield bearers, one on the left and one on the right, rushed in front of Mai Qingquan, wielding their shields and swords, and launched a close-range attack.

Shen Xuan secretly gave it a thumbs up.

Disciples of a sect are disciples of a sect.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo took action, controlling the spirit bamboo puppet to help him restrain Mai Qingquan.

In fact, even without Qianzhu Jushi's intervention, Shen Xuan was confident enough to kill Zhou Ziping and Mai Qingquan.

They are just two Foundation Establishment mid-stage Tribulation cultivators, on the same level as rogue cultivators. How strong can they be!
Now, with no worries, Shen Xuan increased the flow of spiritual power, and the ice dragon transformed from the Azure Water Sword surged in power, growing larger and larger in the wind, reaching a length of over ten feet.

"His ice magic is at its peak! This guy doesn't play by the rules!"

Zhou Ziping cursed under his breath, his face filled with panic. He spat out blood, and the flying sword magic weapon in front of him emitted a sword-like sound, intercepting the Azure Water Sword.

His body transformed into a streak of blood-red light, abandoning even his flying sword and magical artifacts, instantly escaping a hundred feet away, seemingly about to escape.

"Jie Jie!"

"You surnamed Shen, I'll remember you!"

"If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!"

However, before he could finish speaking...

Then I heard Mai Qingquan's exclamation.

"careful!"

Zhou Ziping was unaware of Shen Xuan's movements when he used his escape technique.

In that instant, his flying sword magic weapon was directly frozen and knocked away by the Azure Water Sword.

A crackling sound rang out from Shen Xuan's body as several azure arcs of electricity enveloped his entire body.

Followed by.

Then it vanished into the void.

When it reappeared, its body was three zhang directly above Zhou Ziping's head.

Zhou Ziping had just finished saying those harsh words.

A bolt of lightning struck him from above, causing an explosion.

It was Shen Xuan's [Wrath of the Thunder God] at its peak level.

Zhou Ziping still wanted to resist.

In a panic, he conjured a black shield and began casting spells to strengthen its protective aura.

As a result, it only took one [Thor's Wrath].

A divine light spread, and the black shield shattered.

Several dark ice fish leaped over and instantly pierced Zhou Ziping's heart and internal organs, freezing him into an ice sculpture.

the other side.

Mai Qingquan was still entangled with the four spirit bamboo puppets.

Seeing Zhou Ziping instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, he panicked and turned into a streak of bloody light, then tried to escape.

But where can they escape to!
A ruthless glint appeared in the eyes of the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo.

Two close-combat bamboo sword and shield puppets suddenly self-destructed.

The intense fluctuations in spiritual energy caused Mai Qingquan's escape light to freeze slightly.

At this moment, the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo shouted softly, "Hurry!"

A long flying hook suddenly appeared, moving like lightning with a sonic boom, leaving a long afterimage, hooking Mai Qingquan's body and abruptly interrupting his escape.

Mai Qingquan still wanted to struggle.

A dozen or so dark ice fish swarmed in pursuit.

Mai Qingquan managed to block only a few before being riddled with holes by the swarming, dark ice fish, freezing him into a thick ice sculpture that obscured his true appearance.

Dead as hell.

Only then did the Hermit of Thousand Bamboo breathe a sigh of relief and retrieve his deadly flying hook magic weapon.

"Finally solved. What a pity about my two puppets."

Shen Xuan's gaze fell upon the Luo family cultivators who were trembling like quails.

"What is your name, fellow Taoist?"

"I wouldn't dare, Brother Shen. My name is Fan Xiaoxian. I am a virtuous cultivator! Fellow Daoist Qi can testify to this!"

Fan Xiaoxian's face was ashen, and he was trembling with fear.

"Another fellow Daoist from your Luo family was killed by a cultivator from the Zeng family and has already perished."

Shen Xuan said earnestly, "In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Fan, you should not go any further in. Instead, go to the outer area, find a place to hide first."

"Once the secret realm opens, we'll return to Weiwu County."

Fan Xiaoxian nodded repeatedly: "Brother Shen's words are invaluable. I will retreat to the outer area immediately!"

After Fan Xiaoxian's figure disappeared.

Shen Xuan lightly waved his sleeve.

The thick ice covering Zhou Ziping and Mai Qingquan vanished instantly.

The two bodies lay limp on the ground.

Shen Xuan packed up Zhou Ziping's storage bag, flying sword, and black shield magic weapon.

Qianzhu Jushi tacitly packed up Mai Qingquan's storage bag and magic treasures.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

Shen Xuan waved again.

He swept the two corpses, which had been torn to pieces, into the grass.

"Alright. Fellow Daoist Qi, where's the pill formula?"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why don't you take these seven Mystic Spirit Grasses first?"

Shen Xuan glanced at a monster's nest near the Xuanling Grass.

"What kind of monster is that?"

"Wolf-faced poisonous spider".

Shen Xuan nodded: "There's no rush to hunt down the wolf-faced poisonous spider. Let me take a look at Fellow Daoist Qi's pill formula first."

With his "Insight Technique," Shen Xuan had already discovered that there was a nest of poisonous spiders in the den.

Two large spiders, one male and one female.

Judging from its demonic aura, it should be a mid-grade second-tier demonic entity.

There are also seven small spiders, Tier 1 top-tier.

Shen Xuan had mastered the "Immune to All Poisons" technique, possessing extremely high poison resistance, and didn't take this nest of poisonous spiders seriously.

He was quite interested in the Pure Foundation Pill formula, even if it was an ancient one.

What if we can successfully refine it?

The key to this is the evil spirit in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"I, I didn't..."

Seeing that Shen Xuan seemed about to lash out, Qi Wanqing quickly said, "Sister Ruyi, come out quickly!"

A faint black mist rose from Qi Wanqing's waist.

In the black mist, a charming young woman bowed deeply to Shen Xuan.

"This humble servant, Li Ruyi, greets Fellow Daoist Shen!"

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This is no ordinary malevolent spirit.

Logically speaking, once a spirit becomes a malevolent being, it should lose most of its intelligence.

The malevolent spirit before them was poised and confident, clearly retaining most of its intelligence.

They actually addressed him as "fellow Daoist".

"Are you a cultivator?"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you have insightful views. Ruyi is indeed a practitioner of meditation."

Meditation is extremely rare.

This was also the first time Shen Xuan had met him.

"Many years ago, my physical body was damaged, and I had no choice but to choose the path of meditation."

"Before I began my cultivation in seclusion, I was a second-tier high-grade alchemist."

Shen Xuan was filled with awe.

A second-tier high-grade alchemist would be a top talent in any sect in the Song Kingdom, and a key figure in the sect's training program.

"I have been in a coma for quite some time. When I awoke, three hundred years had passed."

"Three hundred years ago, I improved the ancient formula of the Pure Foundation Pill and was fortunate enough to successfully produce one batch."

"After that, I can't remember what happened after that for now..."

Shen Xuan understood.

After successfully improving the Pure Foundation Pill, Li Ruyi's physical body was damaged for unknown reasons, and he almost died.

I don't know what kind of protective magic she has that allows her soul to remain intact and her spirit to be preserved, enabling her to cultivate in the dark.

"I still remember the improved Pure Foundation Pill formula. However, my soul power is limited, so I cannot inscribe it on the jade slip. I can only write it down for Fellow Daoist Shen."

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan took out a piece of reasonably good quality silk from his storage bag, along with a talisman brush and a bottle of cinnabar, and placed them in front of Li Ruyi.

Soon, Li Ruyi controlled the talisman brush, dipped it slightly in cinnabar, and wrote the formula for the Pure Foundation Elixir on the silk.

Shen Xuan glanced at it.

Among the main ingredients, there was indeed a 500-year-old Xuanling Grass.

After carefully storing the Jingji Dan Dan formula.

Li Ruyi suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, may I cultivate with you? I am willing to sign a master-servant soul contract with you!"
