Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 38 Qi Refining Level Six (Please continue reading)

Spring goes and spring comes again.

Spring has begun again, and we cherish the hope that spring will bring us joy.

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.

"You've reached the sixth level of Qi Refining!"

After three years, his cultivation level was once again advanced.

"As expected of a second-class residence, with the addition of the spirit-gathering array, the cultivation speed is indeed fast!"

Shen Xuan sighed.

A first-grade high-level cultivation ground is already rich in spiritual energy, and it can also be continuously replenished with spiritual energy by the Spirit Gathering Array, making cultivation far superior to that of ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators!
After raising the Water Spirit Root to 22 points, the challenges of the smaller stages became much easier.

It only took him three years to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

It went even more smoothly than I had imagined.

With the improvement of his talent, his physical body became much stronger than before.

At this moment, the main cultivation technique, [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], is nearing completion.

The pure, azure spiritual energy, originating from the dantian, flows like a vast ocean through the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, endlessly and continuously.

The spiritual energy circulated faster and faster, and the aura in the dantian was as vast as an abyss.

With heightened awareness of the five senses, everything in the world becomes more vibrant.

Even without using his talent, he could clearly perceive subtle changes within a ten-foot radius.

The Art of Insight!
His divine sense expanded to thirty feet!

Comparable to the peak of Qi Refining!

Within a radius of thirty feet, everything in the world slowed down, as if in slow motion in a movie.

The light rain falling on the windowpane, the dust flying in the air, the insects crawling inside the house, the tiny stains on the clothes...

All sorts of traces that were previously invisible to the naked eye were instantly revealed to Shen Xuan.

Moreover, Shen Xuan's mental strength was clearly enhanced.

All kinds of information were captured by his divine sense and transmitted to his sea of ​​consciousness, where he processed and digested them instantly.

"Now, I finally have a little bit of ability to protect myself!"

Shen Xuan slowly finished his practice and let out a long sigh.

Until now, he has never fought anyone and doesn't know his true strength.

However, according to the descriptions in the cultivation books he read, he should have the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

If one were in water, it would be comparable to the completion of Qi cultivation.

Next, let's look at lifespan.

【Shouyuan: 68/135】

Breaking through just one small hurdle increased his lifespan by three years.

If my lifespan increases beyond the time consumed by cultivation, wouldn't I become immortal?
It was just self-deprecation.

As one's cultivation level increases, the time required for cultivation will become longer and longer.

The effectiveness of "life extension" decreases with age.

In any case, I've successfully broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining today, which is something to celebrate!
Inside the inner courtyard.

Ding Yuyao, who was meditating and practicing the "Jade Maiden True Scripture," let out a scream.

A huge figure, as swift as the wind, pounced on her and knocked her down onto the soft bed!

Skipping the intro, a familiar movement instantly made her gasp softly.

……

afterwards.

Ding Yuyao woke up.

My husband is sixty-eight years old!
This is unreasonable!

Could it be that I've become weaker?

impossible!
I have cultivated the Jade Maiden True Scripture for eight years and have achieved great success, comparable to a first-rate master!

My husband has become stronger!

Ding Yuyao was filled with doubt.

Could it be that cultivators can truly reverse aging, grow younger with age, and become children again?
At this moment, Shen Xuan was at the bottom of the Longze River.

On the Emei Dagger, four icy dragons, formed by the [Condensing Water to Transform Edge Technique], exuded a terrifying and destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"disease!"

With Shen Xuan's shout, four icy dragons suddenly flew out, their terrifying power causing the nearby waters to tremble and churn.

Its destructive range in the river reached twelve zhang (approximately 63 meters).

It has increased by 20% compared to before.

This also means that his spiritual power has increased by 20%.

A single small challenge can increase one's spiritual power by 20%, almost reaching the upper limit for a Qi Refining cultivator. Shen Xuan swam back to the Spirit Pool from the underground river at the bottom of the Dragon Swamp River, then went ashore to evaporate the water stains on his body.

"I've reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, so the time I need to use the Spirit Gathering Array has doubled. It consumes two spirit stones every four hours. My current rate of earning spirit stones is still too slow..."

If Zhao Chunsheng heard this, he would be utterly astonished.

Shen Xuan makes a net profit of eighty or ninety spirit stones every month by producing [Rejuvenation Talismans].

That's over a thousand spirit stones a year, three times the offerings of an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!
But Shen Xuan still thought it was too slow!

The Spirit Gathering Array's duration has doubled, consuming sixty spirit stones per month!

He also needs to use spirit stones to purchase the essence and blood of demonic beasts.

I also need to prepare to purchase a first-grade high-quality magic weapon after breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

During this period, he attended four or five auctions organized by the Ding family.

I have gained a clear understanding of the prices of various spiritual items for spiritual practice.

A slightly better Tier 1 high-grade magic weapon starts at five hundred spirit stones.

If it's a defensive magic weapon or a flying sword magic weapon, the price can be as high as a thousand spirit stones.

You can't keep using a mid-grade magic weapon after you've broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

It's not just a matter of saving face.

It has a substantial impact on the combat ability of cultivators.

Among cultivators of the same level, the competition often comes down to the power of their magical artifacts.

A cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining can completely overwhelm a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining if they have a high-quality magic weapon.

"Perhaps I should practice my combat skills?"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He had almost no practical combat experience.

This is his weakness.

No matter how high one's cultivation level is, it's all in vain if one can't demonstrate it in actual combat.

"How about joining Zhao Chunsheng's team and hunting monsters to gain experience?"

Shen Xuan was seriously considering this question.

He believed that his strength far surpassed that of Zhao Chunsheng.

In recent years, Zhao Chunsheng has remained unharmed.

He can't possibly be inferior to Zhao Chunsheng.

"Be careful, and try to stay near the river."

As long as he was near the Longze River and there was a water source nearby, Shen Xuan was confident he could escape.

His talent for water control increased his speed in the river to fifty meters per second!

The power of the [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Technique] in river water is ten times that of a cultivator of the same level!
Go home.

Shen Xuan inquired about the demon-hunting team from Zhao Chunsheng.

"Demon hunters are mostly composed of cultivators who know each other well, each with their own strengths, supporting each other and hunting together..."

Zhao Chunsheng answered all questions without reservation, providing a detailed introduction to the team formation and general knowledge of demon hunters.

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are there any restrictions between teammates?"

"Don't worry, they are all good partners who have known each other for many years. Besides, they have all sworn an oath to the heavens to work together through thick and thin."

With an expectant look, Zhao Chunsheng asked, "Master Shen, would you like to join our demon-hunting team?"

Shen Xuan said very seriously, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you know me. I have been cultivating immortality for fifty years and have never fought. One must be prepared for anything, and I would like to gain some combat experience."

"I'll also earn some spirit stones to buy the essence blood of water-attribute demon beasts."

Zhao Chunsheng is a veteran demon hunter.

Moreover, he has a family.

Monks with families are more reliable.

"No problem! Master Shen's name has already spread throughout the market! If you're willing to join, they'd be more than happy to!"

Zhao Chunsheng said with a smile.

With Shen Xuan joining, his influence in the demon-hunting team has increased even more.

Shen Xuan did not rush to express his opinion, but instead inquired about the situation of the people in the team.

Currently, Zhao Chunsheng's demon-hunting team consists of only six people.

Besides him, there were two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

A partner I've worked with for many years, reliable in character, and compatible in temperament.

They are all cautious demon hunters who are unwilling to take too many risks.

"When you have time, invite them over so we can meet and discuss things together!"

"no problem!"

Zhao Chunsheng readily agreed.
