Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 300 The Golden Elixir of the Medicine God (Seeking Subscriptions)

The cinnabar, the talisman paper, and his control over the lightning spiritual power were all fine.

The problem lies with the talisman brush.

Currently, the talisman pen in my hand was made from Thunder Crystal Bamboo when I was in Qingyang Prefecture.

It is only a mid-grade second-tier item.

It's a bit of a stretch to use it for making the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

"Therefore, I need a better talisman pen specifically for thunder talismans."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He had two sections of the finest Thunder Sound Bamboo.

Previously, the hermit Qianzhu had given him a section of the plant, which he transplanted in the Lingzhi Garden.

Later, he bought another piece from Qianzhu Jushi, which was 450 years old and of the highest quality, a second-tier top grade.

Using 450-year-old Thunder Sound Bamboo as the pen handle and high-grade thunder-attribute monster hide as the brush bristles, the Thunder Talisman Pen is at least a second-tier superior grade.

Even second-tier top-grade items.

However, making a Thunder Talisman Brush of this quality is quite difficult.

Only by enlisting the help of one of the top three late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples of Master Yuyang from the Refining Hall can we be confident of success.

The relationship between Xiaogufeng and Yuyangfeng.

Shen Xuan went to the weapon-refining hall, but it was highly unlikely that they would agree.

They were being very polite by not kicking him out.

High-level weapon refiners in the weapon refining hall have no obligation to refine weapons for fellow cultivators.

More often, they accept missions from their sects.

Shen Xuan walked out of the training room.

As dawn breaks, the morning glow is magnificent.

He strolled over to the Spirit Pool.

He spent a lot of money to build this.

It covers an area of ​​ten acres, with an underground river at the bottom of the pool leading to Fairy Lake, and five acres of low-grade spiritual grass beside the pool.

On the grassy field, the silver-horned pegasus, which had been lying asleep, was suddenly awakened.

Seeing Shen Xuan approaching, it joyfully rode the clouds and mist to arrive.

It lived with Shen Xuan for more than ten years.

The silver-horned celestial horse, now in its teens, has already surpassed the size of an adult divine steed, and its cultivation level has reached the upper rank of the first grade.

That's very fast.

The biggest reason is that Shen Xuan regularly transfers a trace of pure water elemental energy to it.

In addition, both the former Tingyuxuan and the current Shuiyueju make it feel comfortable and safe.

Therefore, the Silver Horned Pegasus grows and develops extremely quickly.

They are also very active in temperament.

The silver-horned celestial horse came to Shen Xuan's side.

They affectionately touched and rubbed each other's necks.

"understood!"

Shen Xuan patted the horse's head and said with a doting smile.

Then, a wisp of water elemental energy was transferred into its dantian.

The silver-horned celestial horse excitedly reared up.

It proudly displays its underdeveloped wings.

"Go and play!"

Shen Xuan waved his hand.

Watching the Silver Horned Pegasus gallop carefree and leisurely, I felt a slight pang of envy.

Then, he made a hand seal and used the Water Control Technique to find the Azure Sea Spirit Clam in the Spirit Pool.

The essence and blood of the Azure Sea Spirit Clam have been plundered many times, and their effects are getting worse and worse.

It's not just that the Daoist points are scarce.

The benefit to [Water Spirit Absorption] is also negligible.

Shen Xuan then stopped extracting its essence and blood.

Now, the Azure Sea Clam has developed some intelligence.

It opened its shell and gestured to Shen Xuan in goodwill.

Shen Xuan stared speechlessly at the Azure Sea Spirit Clam before him.

It was pampered and became incredibly fat.

"This can't go on!"

This time, Shen Xuan showed no mercy.

Without hesitation, they extracted ten liters of its essence and blood.

This is not much for a blue sea clam that is four or five zhang long, less than half a percent.

It has absolutely no impact on its growth.

Shen Xuan took out three fragments of the Azure Ocean Spirit Pearl.

It was implanted into the abdomen of the Blue Sea Spirit Clam.

Upon stimulation, the Azure Sea Spirit Clam secreted a great deal of spiritual fluid, which enveloped the fragments of the Azure Sea Spirit Pearl layer by layer.

"This is for your own good!"

Shen Xuan smiled, patted the clam shell, and put it back into the spirit pool.

Leave the Spirit Pool.

Shen Xuan left Shuiyue Residence and went directly to the blessed land.

He is now a direct disciple of Master Gufeng.

Having accepted the cause, one must also accept the consequence.

Offering a large furnace for alchemy, helping the Wu sisters, and earning spirit stones with Gu Jinqin—these were all things he should do as a disciple of the Lone Peak True Man.

If you encounter difficulties, you can also seek help from your master.

Instead of foolishly going to the weapon-refining hall alone to negotiate.

In Shen Xuan's eyes, it was an extremely difficult thing.

For the masters and other Core Formation cultivators, it was just a very small matter.

In a blessed land.

"A second-tier, high-grade Thunder Talisman Brush?"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's request, Master Gufeng was slightly surprised.

She knew that Shen Xuan was skilled at making thunder talismans.

He inherited the Thunder Talisman from the Su family of Feiyun Mountain.

Logically speaking, it is extremely rare for Shen Xuan to have such mastery of thunder talismans.

Even within Thunder Peak, only a handful of people are capable of creating thunder talismans.

"Master, I am cultivating the sect's [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman]. The original thunder talisman pen is of slightly inferior quality, which affects the success rate of talisman creation."

Shen Xuan said respectfully.

"【Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman】?"

Gu Feng Zhenren, this academic failure, seems to have a mental lapse.

"I remember you weren't skilled in the [Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder Talisman], so why are you cultivating the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman]?"

That's a good question!

Shen Xuan didn't know how to answer.

Looking at Shen Xuan, who was speechless.

Master Gufeng finally realized what was happening.

"I was confused! I forgot that you just broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"

Having made a breakthrough, I'm naturally unwilling to stand still.

After breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, cultivating higher-grade Thunder Talismans was a natural progression for a genius Talisman Master like Shen Xuan.

"【Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman】. Hmm, I've heard it's quite difficult to obtain. Within the sect, only True Person Heavenly Thunder and his personal disciple possess it."

"Shen Xuan, can you really learn it?"

Shen Xuan took out the two newly made [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans] and respectfully presented them.

"Is this the thunder talisman you created?"

Master Gufeng was no longer calm.

She had tried using pill-shaped arrays before.

All these tragic outcomes prove that she has absolutely no talent in these mainstream cultivation techniques.

But this disciple, whom he casually accepted, is a genuine talisman master. Moreover, he's a top-tier talisman master capable of creating mid-grade second-tier lightning talismans?
This shattered her preconceived notions about Shen Xuan.

What is the success rate of the spell?

"15%".

Shen Xuan slightly concealed his true abilities.

After all, having only practiced the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] for three months and already achieving a 20% success rate is truly astonishing.

"15%? That's so high?"

Master Gufeng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"If I were to use a better Thunder Talisman Brush and dedicate myself to cultivation for two or three years, could I increase my talisman-making success rate to 25%?"

Two-fifteen percent is the passing grade for a Thunder Talisman Master.

"Reporting to Master, all methods lead to one. The [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] and the [Divine Fiend Divine Thunder Talisman] are similar. This disciple believes that a success rate of 25% is only a matter of time."

Master Gufeng remained silent for a while.

After a long while, she finally let out a soft sigh.

"Shen Xuan."

"The disciple is here."

"The Thunder Talisman Brush is a minor matter; there's no need to worry. I will certainly obtain it for you."

"Disciple, thank you Master."

Shen Xuan bowed respectfully.

Master Gu Feng Zhenren has mediocre skills, but he is a good person.

“A few days ago, Senior Brother Lingxiao told me that a Golden Core cultivator from Medicine God Valley would soon be visiting our sect.”

"Don't leave the sect during this time."

"Yes, disciple will obey your orders and will not leave the sect in the near future."

Master Gufeng thought for a moment.

"It's best to avoid Xiaogufeng."

"Yes, this disciple will not leave Little Lonely Peak."

"Forget it! You might as well just go into seclusion at Shuiyue Residence!"

"Yes, disciple is in seclusion at Shuiyue Residence. I will not see anyone except Master and my fellow disciples."

Master Gufeng sighed, "I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Shen Xuan said solemnly, "Master, you flatter me. The sect and Master are acting in my best interest."

"You just understand."

There was a hint of worry in Gu Feng Zhenren's voice.

"With Senior Brother Changsheng personally overseeing the process, the alchemy technique using the giant furnace was a great success. However, this matter could not be kept secret from Medicine God Valley."

“A few days ago, one of the alchemists from the alchemy hall who was involved in this matter went missing.”

"It's very likely a spy from Medicine God Valley."

Shen Xuan understood, of course.

When he presented the method of refining elixirs in a large furnace, he foresaw what would happen next.

For every beneficiary, there is a loser.

The Qingyun Sect and the sects and families that cultivate spiritual herbs benefited.

Those who suffered losses included Medicine God Valley, one of the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom, as well as a large number of independent cultivators and alchemists.

The price of medicinal herbs has surged, increasing by 70% in one go.

In addition, the price of the Spirit Gathering Pill has been reduced by half a percent.

The profits from the Spirit Gathering Pills in Medicine God Valley suddenly collapsed.

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

It also has the highest sales volume.

Moreover, that's not all.

True Essence Pills for the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Spirit-Stabilizing Pills for the late-Foundation Establishment stage, and even Foundation Establishment Pills for breaking through to the next level, can all be refined in the giant furnace of the Qingyun Sect.

It can be said that the Qingyun Sect's giant furnace alchemy method completely undermined the foundation of the Medicine God Valley.

Shen Xuan guessed.

Next step.

Medicine God Valley and Qingyun Sect will likely negotiate first.

We definitely won't be able to reach an agreement on the first one.

Although it wouldn't escalate to a full-blown fight.

It is highly likely that they will block each other.

Until both sides have suffered losses and are willing to stop.

Only then, under the mediation of a powerful cultivation force, will a ceasefire and cooperation be reached.

one way or another.

The Qingyun Sect will definitely want to gain some benefits.

Shen Xuan was the instigator.

It's best to hide.

Stay away from this storm between sects.

Shen Xuan possessed the essence and blood of a color-changing water lizard and a four-eared, long-tongued macaque.

The two cultivation shops also acquired the essence blood of deep-sea octopus and the essence blood of emperor demon crab, respectively.

In addition, there was a continuous supply of cinnabar paper talismans provided by the hermit Qianzhu.

That's enough for him to study in seclusion for several years.

It is estimated that the conflict between Qingyun Sect and Medicine God Valley will come to an end in three to five years at most.

After all, the Xuantian Sect, the head of the seven sects of the Song Kingdom, would not sit idly by and watch the two major sects of the country clash and break apart.

In the short term, Shen Xuan has no plans to promote industrialization in the cultivation world.

Unless he has sufficient strength.

It is estimated that it will take until the core is formed.

Industrialization can only be implemented by major sects.

Like a giant furnace refining elixirs.

After understanding the principles, the Qingyun Sect mobilized manpower from the Alchemy Hall, Array Hall, and Weapon Refining Hall to optimize and scale up the process.

Its alchemy effects are even better than those of Little Lonely Peak.

The more industrialized a sect becomes, the more cultivation resources it consumes, and the more high-level cultivators benefit.

The more numerous the unaffiliated cultivators at the bottom of society, the harder their lives become.

The escalating contradictions and conflicts have further polarized the grassroots cultivators with sects and families, making them more likely to side with the demonic sect.

This could very well trigger a real war between the Daoist sect and the Demonic sect.

This is something Shen Xuan doesn't want to see.

When there is insufficient strength and control over the overall situation.

Shen Xuan will not vigorously promote industrialization.

He came from a background of independent cultivators and was very clear about the current situation of the Xuan Yuan Continent.

With scarce resources and rigid social classes, the lives of the most numerous group of cultivators—the independent cultivators—are becoming increasingly difficult.

We must leave them a way to survive.

……

More than ten days later.

After finishing his training, Shen Xuan walked out of the training room.

Suddenly, I had a feeling.

Look up.

Deep in the sky, at the edge of the horizon, a massive spaceship roared in.

This spaceship is over a hundred feet long, covered with various array formations and spiritual patterns, its spiritual light dazzling and its aura magnificent.

"Spiritual weapon?"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Such an imposing presence indicates that the Golden Elixir Master from Medicine God Valley has come to visit.

Shen Xuan gazed at the magical flying ship of Medicine God Valley, which had not yet landed.

Instead, it continued to roar above the Qingyun Sect.

Shen Xuan knew perfectly well what was going on.

The Golden Core cultivator from Medicine God Valley on the spaceship was giving the Qingyun Sect a hard time.

The person is not good!
