Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 281 Rapid Rescue (Seeking Subscriptions)
The next day.

Shuiyue Residence.

Lü Zhengying rushed over.

Shen Xuan handed over a storage bag.

The remaining monster corpses and over a thousand ordinary poison talismans were worth 300,000 spirit stones.

"Junior Brother Lü, sell the monster corpses and poison talismans, and use all the money to buy ingredients for Spirit Gathering Pills."

The Spirit Gathering Pill is a commonly used elixir for cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Previously, Lü Zhengying had purchased relevant medicinal materials on a small scale in the sect's market, sent them to Li Ruyi to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, and then sold them.

"so much?"

Lu Zhengying glanced at the items in the storage bag, her expression one of surprise.

Shen Xuan nodded.

"Buy in bulk, as much as you can get. Especially the Heavenly Spirit Flower, the Crimson Yuan Ganoderma, the Star-Condensing Grass, and the Heavenly Yuan Fruit."

These four are the main ingredients of the Spirit Gathering Pill.

Relatively speaking, the requirements for the year are high, the output is low, and the price is more likely to rise than fall.

Lu Zhengying asked, "Senior brother, have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to buy this much?"

"determine."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"This is just the beginning. Once I figure out a way to get some spirit stones out of my pocket, I'll continue buying."

Lü Zhengying's heart pounded.

Brother Shen Xuan's move was truly terrifying!
Three hundred thousand spirit stones is just the beginning.

There's more to come!

"Senior brother, please be careful!"

Stockpiling medicinal herbs is risky.

The price of medicinal herbs is inherently volatile.

If a sect or family were to sell off a large number of their properties, the losses would be substantial.

"Senior brother, are you going to cultivate and refine pills?"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"Junior Brother Lü, don't ask. You'll know in a few days."

If the alchemy in the large furnace is successful.

The demand for the main ingredient of the Spirit Gathering Pill in the Qingyun Sect has increased more than a hundredfold.

It could very well increase a thousandfold!
If everything goes smoothly.

The Qingyun Sect will soon become the largest elixir-producing sect in the Song Dynasty.

A price increase is inevitable.

Shen Xuan planned to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

How much profit can be made?

"At least 50%. Junior brother, you might as well buy some too."

A 50% profit margin is a conservative estimate.

If refining pills in a large furnace yields good results.

The price of the main ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill will skyrocket.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Upon hearing that she could earn a large number of spirit stones, Lü Zhengying was full of energy and walked briskly.

……

After handing over the affairs of Xiaogufeng back to Gu Jinqin, Shen Xuan continued to solidify his cultivation realm.

Before breaking through, many skills are stuck at the advanced levels.

With just a few Daoist points, one can advance to the next level.

To continue improving, a large number of Daoist Points are needed.

Some skills can only be improved through diligent practice.

Examples include [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique], [Thunder God's Wrath], [Spirit Devouring Demon Fire], [Divine Treasure Five Thunder Escape Technique], and [Dominating the Four Directions].

Some skills, even if practiced every day, will progress slowly.

Examples include the "Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique," the "Ice Soul Spirit Body," and the "Lightning-Free Dao Body."

Some skills can be improved simply by using them consistently.

Examples include [Gnawing on All Things], [Sharp Teeth], [Immense Strength], [Insightful Observation], and [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique].

In addition, his main martial art is the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique].

His cultivation speed was originally rather slow.

It is enhanced with [Water Spirit Absorption], and further refined with [Devouring All Things] to replenish spiritual energy.

This accelerated the pace of cultivation.

If possible, Shen Xuan hoped to add points to these skills like crazy and push them directly to the maximum level.

However, he didn't have that many points of Daoist wisdom.

Moreover, the amount of Dao Points required to upgrade so many skills to perfection is simply too much.

He can only prioritize them and add points selectively.

Since the alchemy furnace project had not yet been officially launched, Shen Xuan could not leave Xiaogu Peak.

These days, while instructing Gu Jinqin on the progress of alchemy in the large furnace, he also devoted himself to cultivation.

This morning.

He had just come out of the practice room.

Su Xue'er hurriedly said, "Husband, Junior Sister is here!"

The one who arrived was Wu Xueting, the sixth junior sister.

She sat in the reception room, not even drinking tea, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing Shen Xuan and Shi Ranran walk out, they quickly went to greet them.

"Senior brother, something's happened to Yuting!"

"Sit down and talk."

Shen Xuan slowly sipped the spiritual tea.

He really didn't want to mess with those two sisters.

However, as a newly recruited senior, he couldn't be too heartless.

"Senior brother, Yuting has been imprisoned."

Wu Xueting said urgently.

Then, he recounted what had happened.

It turns out that the sisters had their sights set on the Purple Qi Alliance.

The Purple Qi Alliance opened a gambling den in Qingyun Immortal City, and business was booming.

The two sisters targeted cultivators who made a fortune in gambling dens, swindling them out of their spirit stones.

The method is a very simple "honey trap".

The younger sister went to seduce him and negotiated a price.

When it came time for the relationship to actually happen, the older sister would appear, reveal her identity, and coerce the other party into paying money to avoid trouble.

Both of them were direct disciples of the Qingyun Sect's True Person, and their ancestor was also the sect's Immortal City Lord and a False Core True Person.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to resist, so they obediently paid the spirit stones and left.

They succeeded three times in a row.

The fourth time, problems arose.

Wu Yuting, the younger sister, was imprisoned by members of the Purple Qi Alliance at the gambling den.

Fortunately, the two sisters worked well together.

Before being imprisoned, Wu Yuting sent a message to the communication talisman.

Tell Wu Xueting that the other party is from the Purple Qi Alliance.

"Junior sister, don't you know the background of the Purple Qi Alliance?" Shen Xuan asked.

“I know. He’s the direct grandson of the sect’s Purple Qi True Person. But we didn’t cheat him out of his spirit stones!” Wu Xueting said indignantly.

Shen Xuan looked at his stunningly beautiful junior sister and couldn't help but shake his head.

"You treated someone's big client like a fat sheep and slaughtered them, of course they're angry."

Even if those gamblers won some spirit stones.

If he continued gambling, he'd eventually be sent back to the gambling den. Now things are better.

It ended up in your sisters' pockets.

Isn't it just robbing money from their Purple Qi Alliance?

"Have you reported to Master?"

"Don't!"

Wu Xueting pleaded, "Senior brother, please help us this time!"

"If you ever need anything in the future, we'll definitely help you!"

Shen Xuan pondered for a while.

He didn't expect the Wu sisters to repay him.

However, reporting this matter to Master will only put Master in a difficult position.

They've all been scamming the gamblers.

The Wu sisters were not in the right.

Besides, this is a matter between the younger generation.

It's not appropriate for the real person to come forward.

And the patriarch of the Wu family.

The cards aren't strong enough.

A False Core Formation True Person is one level lower than a Core Formation True Person.

Within the Qingyun Sect, a fake Core Formation cultivator has no right to participate in decisions regarding major sect affairs.

The path to immortality is cut off. You can either become a deputy city lord in one of the five great immortal cities, or become a city lord in a smaller immortal city.

Wu Xueting understood this in her heart.

These kinds of things are best resolved by the sisters themselves.

Don't disturb Master and the Wu family patriarch.

Think about it.

Among the younger generation, only the newly recruited senior brother in front of them could stand up for them.

Shen Xuan weighed the gains and losses in his mind.

He finally nodded: "I'll go with you, senior brother."

Wu Xueting was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, senior brother!"

"Without further ado, let's go now."

Shen Xuan gave Su Xue'er some instructions and then left Shuiyue Residence with Wu Xueting.

They summoned the Golden Clawed Divine Eagle Corpse Beast, had Wu Xueting come aboard, and the two of them, along with the eagle, flew towards Qingyun Immortal City.

"A gambling den? Ah, I haven't gambled in ages!"

"If we help them this time, things should calm down in the future!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

……

At this moment, inside the Silver Hook Gambling House.

Xu Shaopeng, the leader of the Purple Qi Alliance, sat calmly in his room inside the gambling den, watching Wu Yuting, who was imprisoned by the spirit-sealing talisman, while sipping his spiritual tea.

"Xu Shaopeng, if you don't let me go, my sister will bring reinforcements and wipe out your gambling den! You'll regret it!"

Wu Yuting shouted angrily.

"What kind of reinforcements can your sister bring!"

Xu Shaopeng sneered, "You two sisters are notorious in the sect!"

"You sisters have ruined Master Gufeng's reputation!"

"If she knew about your behavior, she might expel you from the sect first!"

"You still have the nerve to brag in front of me!"

"Pah!" Wu Yuting snapped, "What heinous things have we sisters done!"

"No one has harmed as many people as you by running a gambling den! You've ruined so many families and caused so many deaths!"

Xu Shaopeng laughed heartily: "I open my door to do business, I don't steal or rob, and I accept my losses!"

"Since you dared to try and scam me here, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

"For the sake of fellow disciples, hand over all the spirit stones you swindled, and I'll spare you this time!"

Wu Yuting sneered, "In the end, you still want to steal our spirit stones! What are you pretending for!"

"Do you think our Little Lonely Peak lineage is afraid of your Purple Qi Peak lineage?"

"Let me go! Otherwise, once my senior sisters and brothers arrive, your gambling den will be shut down!"

Wu Yuting knew the answer.

Xu Shaopeng didn't dare to do anything to her.

They never back down verbally.

Xu Shaopeng glanced at his two brothers beside him and laughed heartily: "Second brother, third brother, just wait and see the show!"

"I deliberately let her send the message out, just to see what tricks she could pull!"

"The Xiaogufeng lineage is full of talented people. Yet no one will stand up for these two sisters!"

"They even betray their own people, yet they dare to expect others to consider their kinship!"

Wu Yuting was speechless.

To be honest, those sisters really did cause trouble for their third and fourth senior sisters.

The eldest sister is traveling, while the second sister is in seclusion.

Otherwise, they'll still be ripped off.

Plastic sisterhood is nothing compared to the sincerity of a spiritual stone!

Wu Yuting's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Xu Shaopeng, aren't you afraid of my senior brother?"

"Senior brother? When did Little Lone Peak take in a male disciple?"

Xu Shaopeng thought for a moment and then remembered: "Are you talking about that disciple Shen Xuan?"

"That's right. I wanted to let you know that Shen Xuan has officially become Master's personal disciple, ranking third, and is my third senior brother!"

"Shen Xuan?"

Xu Shaopeng suddenly laughed: "I'm so scared!"

"He's just a rogue cultivator with no connections or background! If he dares to cause trouble, I'll cripple him!"

Xu Shaopeng was speaking from the heart.

The Wu sisters also had to consider the reputation of their ancestor and Master Gufeng.

After all, since they are both from the same sect or family, there should still be some leeway.

As for Shen Xuan!

Who does he think he is!
He was a rogue cultivator with no background whatsoever.

If anyone dares to cause trouble at the gambling den, he would absolutely cripple them without even flinching!
At this time.

Someone was knocking on the door.

"Alliance Leader, someone from Little Lone Peak has arrived!"

A subordinate reported from outside the door.

Xu Shaopeng said to his two brothers, "Take this girl with you and let's go out and have a look!"

"I'd like to know which expert these Wu sisters managed to get involved with!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

When Xu Shaopeng came out, he took a look.

The two who arrived were Wu Xueting and Shen Xuan.

"This must be Junior Brother Shen Xuan from Little Lone Peak!"

"Is this the girl next to me, Junior Sister Wu Xueting?"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "Shen Xuan from Little Lonely Peak greets Senior Brother Xu from Purple Qi Peak!"

"I don't know how my junior sister offended Senior Brother Xu, that he would imprison her here."

"We're all from the same sect. What Senior Brother Xu is doing is just not right."

Xu Shaopeng looked at Shen Xuan with great interest.

"Oh, you want to ask me for someone?"

"Why don't you look in the mirror!"

"Get out! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"
