Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 306 The Hidden Battle for the Golden Core (Seeking Subscriptions)

The Lost Immortal watched the two female immortals arguing and sighed slightly.

“Junior Sister Gu Feng, the secret method of refining the Thunder Spirit Pearl is of great importance. You should let Shen Xuan explain it to you.”

Master Gufeng smiled slightly: "Alright!"

She had made an appointment with Shen Xuan before coming.

At this moment, Master Gufeng sent out a communication talisman.

It was handed over to the sect steward who was standing outside.

"Shen Xuan will be here soon. If Junior Brother Tianlei has any questions, please feel free to ask."

The Lost Immortal smiled and said to the Thunder God.

Among the assembled masters, only Master Tianlei is a cultivator of thunder magic.

Master Tianlei shook his head slightly: "The younger generation surpasses the older. Tianlei Peak is not what it used to be. I have failed in my teaching, and my disciples are all useless. I am ashamed!"

Some things become clear when compared.

Shen Xuan is not a cultivator of thunder magic.

However, he was able to cultivate lightning escape techniques on his own.

Furthermore, one can achieve mastery of the skill in a very short time.

His talent in thunder magic is top-notch, even compared to the direct disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Master.

Nowadays, Master Gufeng boasts about the secret method of refining the Thunder Spirit Pearl.

Which of the masters present is unaware of Master Gufeng's abilities?

She was a proud daughter of a noble family, skilled in all the arts of cultivation.

Where did this so-called secret method for refining the Thunder Spirit Pearl come from?

It was clearly the work of Shen Xuan, a disciple of Shen Xuan.

Like refining elixir in a large furnace.

It's a very simple technique, just a combination of various alchemy, weapon, and array techniques.

This can create a sensational effect.

Master Gufeng's status within the sect rose rapidly.

It was this method of refining pills in a large furnace that brought the sect extraordinary profits.

"Reporting to Master Mizong, Shen Xuan is waiting at the door."

Soon, a sect steward reported from outside the door.

"Let him in!"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the main hall for council meetings.

Shen Xuan greeted the Sect Leader and all his senior masters.

Shen Xuan bowed respectfully.

More than a dozen divine senses all landed on him.

It made his body tremble involuntarily.

One in particular, a divine sense, was sharp and fierce, as if it could explode at any moment; it must belong to True Person Tianlei.

"Shen Xuan, I heard that you recently developed a secret method for refining Thunder Spirit Pearls?"

Master Tianlei glanced at Shen Xuan and asked in a cold voice.

"Reporting to Senior Uncle Tianlei, it was developed by Master."

Shen Xuan quickly put his master, Master Gufeng, in front of him.

Everyone knew the truth, but no one said it aloud.

Master Tianlei nodded.

"Shen Xuan, I've come to ask you, do you know where this place is?"

"The Grand Hall for the True Persons of the Sect to Discuss Matters".

"You know that's good! Every word spoken here is closely related to the survival and development of the sect. If you dare to lie, the sect's rules are not to be trifled with!"

As he spoke, Tianlei Zhenren's gaze was like two thunder blades and lightning swords, shooting fiercely at Shen Xuan.

A faint, crackling sound of electricity could be heard in the air.

Master Gufeng frowned slightly, about to speak.

On the other side, Master Lingxiao transmitted his voice: "Junior Sister Gufeng, please calm down."

Master Gufeng forced himself to remain calm.

Shen Xuan, however, seemed completely unaware of the thunder blades and lightning swords that Heavenly Thunder Immortal's gaze had transformed into.

Two lightning blades struck Shen Xuan's body and vanished without a trace.

The mysterious man's eyes lit up.

It's not just him.

The Hidden Man, who had been drowsy, suddenly awoke as if startled.

Master Tianlei was merely testing Shen Xuan.

It won't hurt him.

However, Shen Xuan's ability to resolve the situation so easily shocked all the masters present.

No matter what, Tianlei Zhenren is still a Thunder Magic Golden Core Zhenren.

"You bastard Shen Xuan! What kind of Dao body do you cultivate?"

"Reporting to Senior Uncle Tianlei, this disciple cultivates the Absolute Lightning Dao Body."

Upon hearing this, not only Heavenly Thunder Immortal, but even the knowledgeable Hidden Appearance Immortal couldn't help but stand up.

"The Absolute Lightning Dao Body? Doesn't that mean it can greatly reduce the damage from the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning during the Heavenly Tribulation?"

“Reporting to my senior master, the theory is yes.”

"Hey kid, speak properly. Theoretically yes, but what does this mean?"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath.

"That means whether or not we can withstand the divine lightning of the heavenly tribulation depends on the power of the divine abilities derived from the Absolute Lightning Dao Body."

"You don't have to say that!"

Master Yinxiang did not speak again.

They had reached an understanding before Shen Xuan arrived.

The questioning was mainly conducted by Master Tianlei.

Master Tianlei's expression was extremely solemn.

This Shen Xuan, of all the good cultivation methods, he chose to cultivate the Absolute Lightning Dao Body.

This means that he has a significant advantage over lightning magic cultivators of the same realm.

"After Lei Yaoyang returned, he warned him not to provoke this person again."

Master Tianlei thought to himself.

He was almost certain.

Shen Xuan could easily overwhelm Lei Yaoyang in both combat strength and intellect.

He knew perfectly well that Lei Yaoyang had designs on Qin Yuehan back then.

Rumors suggest that Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan have a close relationship.

Now, Shen Xuan has made great contributions to the sect.

His status is no lower than Lei Yaoyang's.

It also caught the eye of many real people.

Further unwarranted suppression will only bring shame upon themselves.

"Let's get back to the main topic. Shen Xuan, I have a question for you: how many Thunder Spirit Pearls can one obtain in a month using this secret refining method?"

Thinking of this, Master Tianlei asked again.

"Given Xiao Gufeng's conditions, he could earn over a thousand coins per month."

Master Tianlei nodded.

This is similar to what Master Gufeng said before.

"What if there were enough Thunder-Containing Divine Iron?"

"You can get four or five thousand coins a month."

As soon as Shen Xuan said this...

Master Tianlei said sternly, "Shen Xuan, I'll ask you one more time. You'd better think it through before you answer."

"This is the council of sect masters; there is no room for falsehood!"

"If I have enough Thunder-Containing Divine Iron, how many Thunder Spirit Pearls can I get each month?" Shen Xuan hesitated slightly.

Thunderstorm days are unpredictable.

Shen Xuan's estimate was only a rough estimate.

Qingyun Mountain has many convection currents due to its high altitude.

There are about seven or eight thunderstorm days in January.

Moreover, there are many thunderstorm days in the summer.

"Reporting to Senior Uncle Tianlei, may I use a year to calculate this?"

"Why?"

"Master's secret method for refining the Thunder Spirit Pearl requires the right timing. Using a one-year period is more accurate."

"Alright! Let's set a one-year timeframe. How many Thunder Spirit Orbs can we get?"

"Fifty thousand!"

Shen Xuan blurted it out without thinking.

In fact, if there were enough Thunder-Containing Divine Iron and Foundation Establishment cultivators, more Thunder-Attracting Platforms could be set up.

Refining 50,000 Thunder Spirit Pearls is a piece of cake.

Seeing Shen Xuan's resolute answer, Master Tianlei knew he must have a solid reason for it.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, I've finished asking. You can ask now!"

The mysterious master, Diandian, had already made up his mind.

If the secret technique is effective, we must find a way to get it from Shen Xuan and put it into the sect, no matter what.

The Qingyun Sect is a major sect in the Song Kingdom, and it has eighteen Core Formation Realm cultivators.

However, in an era of scarce spiritual energy, the financial situation was far from optimistic, and the country was also struggling financially.

A true cultivator's own cultivation also requires a large amount of cultivation resources.

Training disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage is also a considerable expense.

Each sect establishes a "Core Formation Seed" program, which means investing scarce cultivation resources in elite disciples who are most likely to form their Core.

As a result, most of the other Foundation Establishment disciples, who were already less talented, faced even greater challenges due to the disparity in support resources.

Basically, over 90% of ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples do not harbor any illusions about forming their Core.

Just like Shen Xuan's predecessor's college entrance examination, most people's goal is simply to get into an ordinary undergraduate program.

985 and 211 universities are only the goal of a small number of people.

Compared to the noble and prestigious Gu Feng Zhenren, Shen Xuan is easier to handle.

"Shen Xuan, you don't need to be nervous."

The Mysterious Master revealed a warm smile: "I ask you, did you figure out that Thunder Spirit Pearl secret technique on your own?"

"No! It was something my master figured out. I assisted her and helped her make it."

Shen Xuan immediately replied.

In any case, ownership belongs to Master Gufeng Zhenren.

If you're so capable, go ask Master Gufeng for it.

He's a direct disciple, so he won't get involved.

"Alright. We'll talk about this later. Could you explain it to me?"

Shen Xuan looked at the Lone Peak Immortal.

Seeing his master nod slightly, he said, "Alright. This disciple will now explain it to my fellow disciples."

Shen Xuan spoke eloquently.

Thunderstorm day, thundercloud, lightning-attracting flying artifact, conductive gold wire, lightning-infused divine iron, lightning-proof protective clothing, thunder-sounding bamboo beads, thunder spirit beads.

"That's how it's made."

After Shen Xuan finished speaking, he let out a long breath.

The council hall was completely silent.

Shen Xuan looked at his senior masters.

They all looked bewildered.

Only Master Tianlei seemed to have gained some insight.

The Lost Immortal asked the Heavenly Thunder Immortal.

"Junior Brother Tianlei, did you understand what Shen Xuan said?"

"I'm ashamed! I only have a superficial understanding, and I don't really understand it."

Master Tianlei sighed.

"However, what Shen Xuan said is true, it should be possible."

Upon hearing what Heavenly Thunder True Person said, all the True Persons in the council hall looked at Shen Xuan.

"Seeing is believing. Shen Xuan, could you demonstrate it for me?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"Reporting to Grandmaster Uncle, today is not a thunderstorm day, so we cannot use it."

"It's alright. We can wait a few days."

The mysterious master didn't take it seriously.

"When the thunderstorm arrives, you refine the Thunder Spirit Orb, and we will go to observe it."

"As for the acquisition of the Thunder Spirit Pearl Sect, let's discuss it again next time after we have observed it."

The mysterious master made the final decision.

All the masters agreed.

"Let's conclude today's meeting here."

"Wait a minute!"

The usually silent Master Hanyu suddenly spoke.

"Shen Xuan, I have come to ask you. Do you know that you are originally from the Hanyu Peak lineage?"

"what!"

Shen Xuan looked completely bewildered.

Master Gufeng angrily asked, "Hanyu, what do you mean by this!"

Master Hanyu glanced at Master Gufeng with disdain.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Zhang, Shen Xuan's mentor, Yan Ruixue, is a disciple of my senior brother, Gu Hongtao."

"Although Senior Brother Gu is no longer here, the Transmission Hall and Cold Jade Peak both have records of this matter."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the immortals in the council hall immediately changed.

The smile vanished from the face of the Master of Lost Traces, replaced by a solemn expression.

Shen Xuan was completely confused.

All he knew was that Master Yan had been seriously injured and was living in seclusion in the mortal world, selecting immortal talents for the Qingyun Sect.

Master Yan never mentioned his teacher to them.

Thinking about it, that makes sense.

He didn't even pass the entrance exam for the Qingyun Sect, and couldn't even join the sect, so what right does he have to mention his lineage?

Master Gufeng pointed at Master Hanyu, his expression agitated: "Hanyu, don't cause trouble! Shen Xuan is my disciple, my personal disciple!"

The Mysterious Master slowly said, "Shen Xuan is the personal disciple of Junior Sister Gu Feng."

Master Hanyu's tone hardened.

The words of the Lost Immortal represent the sect's viewpoint.

Master Hanyu persisted, saying, "Shen Xuan, I'll ask you again. How's your cultivation of my [Ice Soul Cold Water Technique] going?"

Master Gufeng said angrily, "You gave away the magic willingly, and my disciple exchanged it for it based on his own abilities. Hanyu, why are you bringing this up again!"

Master Hanyu bowed slightly to all the other masters present.

"Fellow disciples, I am acting in the name of the sect's future."

"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Xuan is a genius in ice magic!"

"His talent in ice magic is no less than mine!"

"In the future, there is a very high chance of condensing an inner core!"

"It might even be a Golden Core!"
