Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 49 Under the Spotlight (Please Read On)

Shortly after their airship departed.

The black wind slowly swept down from the high sky.

Fortunately, he was the leader of the Tribulation Cultivators and had several spare magical artifacts.

However, the two best items, the flying sword and the golden ring, have already been taken by Shen Xuan.

All three of the raiding flying ships were broken and damaged.

Seeing his subordinates struggling to climb ashore in the Longze River, he felt a pang of heartache.

This business deal was a huge loss!

"You're giving me false information, trying to use me as a tool to kill you!"

"Baldy Chen, I'm not done with you yet!"

Black Wind was certain that Shen Xuan and his group were definitely not easy prey.

That water-based demon hunter could definitely be killed on the surface of the Longze River!
"Where did this monster come from! Despite his low cultivation level, he has mastered water magic and can unleash such powerful water-based spells!"

Five days later.

The flying boat finally arrived safely at Qinglong Bay Market.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the market, they attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators.

"Damn! Such a heavy pack! Did we get a big one this time?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, that's Shen Xuan, the talisman master."

"Is this Shen Xuan, who has extensive connections in the Qingyun Sect and is so popular with the Ding family that they couldn't find a son-in-law? He's not that great, not even as handsome as me!"

A hand slapped the man on the back of the head.

"Don't talk nonsense! You're asking for it!"

"Did you know that Shen Xuan is not only a talisman master, but also a demon hunter who has mastered water magic!"

"I heard that this time, they managed to hunt a complete water-repelling rhinoceros entirely thanks to Shen Xuan!"

"Really? They've struck it rich this time!"

It's still quite safe inside Qinglongwan Market.

With two Foundation Establishment experts from the Ding family in charge, no one dared to cause trouble in the market.

Shen Xuan greeted Zhao Chunsheng and the others, leaving the rest to them, and went home to rest.

along the way.

Cultivators kept bowing and greeting Shen Xuan.

Some faces are familiar, some are unfamiliar.

Shen Xuan didn't stop walking and politely returned each greeting.

Back home, Ding Yuyao jumped into his arms like a little bird.

They hadn't seen each other for a month and both missed each other.

"My lord, you seem to have lost some weight! Go take a hot bath first. I'll cook something delicious to nourish you!"

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, my wife!"

Shen Xuan wasn't being pretentious.

On the way back, my nerves were on edge, and I even had a fierce battle with Jie Xiu, so I really needed to relax.

While taking a hot bath, Shen Xuan reviewed the entire hunting process.

"The Cloud and Rain Technique helped the Water Rhinoceros break through the encirclement. I used the Invisibility Technique and the Breath Concealment Technique, so even if they know it was me, they have no evidence."

"The Dragon River instantly killed the Water-Splitting Rhinoceros at the bottom of the river; the choice of battlefield and timing were both quite good."

"Displaying your strength in front of demon hunters is to avoid unnecessary fighting!"

"On the surface of the Longze River, there is a continuous supply of water spiritual energy, which can only cause even Qi Refining Perfection Tribulation cultivators to flee in panic."

"Unfortunately, we didn't seize the opportunity to kill him in one blow, allowing the leader of the Tribulation Cultivator to escape and leaving a hidden danger."

"I still lack experience!"

After reviewing his performance, Shen Xuan gave himself a score of 75 out of 100.

good.

It's still a bit short of being excellent.

"Wife, pour me some hot water!"

Ding Yuyao carried a bucket of hot water and poured it into the bathtub.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan suddenly stood up and pressed her against the edge of the bathtub.

"Husband..."

Inside the bathhouse, a peculiar smell permeated the thick, hot steam, making one's blood boil.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was fully engaged in his conquest.

He was unaware that his actions had already caused a huge uproar in the area around Qinglong Bay!

……

In the tavern of the market.

A group of demon hunters were discussing Shen Xuan.

"Talisman Master Shen Xuan has mastered water magic!"

"That tortoise talisman master who's over sixty and still in the early stages of Qi Refining?"

"Exactly! You don't know, but I've heard that this person became a demon hunter and made a name for himself right away!"

"How exactly do you plan to make a name for yourself?"

"Instantly kills the Water-Repelling Rhinoceros!"

Wow! That was truly amazing!

"No way, that might be an exaggeration! How strong can a sixty-year-old talisman master, who's only at the early stage of Qi Refining, be?"

Some people shook their heads in disbelief.

"What do you know! Just got news. Jie Xiu Hei Feng, leading a group of subordinates, intercepted them on the Longze River. Guess what?"

"Tell me quickly, stop keeping me in suspense!"

"All three of the cultivator's flying boats were destroyed! Black Wind didn't even retrieve his flying sword before fleeing in disarray!" "No way, Black Wind is a sword cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining!"

However, more and more people are confirming this.

Some people witnessed Hei Feng being forced to flee into the sky by Shen Xuan.

"Water magic mastered! In just a few breaths, he shattered three flying boats belonging to cultivators who had undergone tribulation."

"His companions, before they even made a move, had already defeated more than twenty Tribulation cultivators!"

"Black Wind is smart; he runs fast! If he tries to retrieve the flying sword, he won't even be able to save his life!"

After a period of commotion.

In Qinglong Market, some Foundation Establishment forces that were paying attention to Shen Xuan fell silent.

I thought Shen Xuan was only being treated well by the Ding family because of his relationship with Qin Yuehan of the Qingyun Sect.

I never imagined this person's strength would be this formidable!
"The Ding family's interest in Shen Xuan is not solely due to Qin Yuehan of the Qingyun Sect!"

"Even a sword cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining is no match for him, so this person is likely hiding his true strength and is skilled at concealing his aura and disguising himself!"

……

The Ding family council hall.

The Ding family patriarch, the Ding family head, and Ding Yijin sat side by side.

At the lower end, Manager Ding kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Just now, he recalled Shen Xuan's situation.

The story begins when Shen Xuan started farming at seventeen and making talismans at eighteen.

He spoke for over an hour.

That's it.

The three leaders of the Ding family were still not satisfied.

"Ding Qingtao, you've known Shen Xuan for fifty years, haven't you noticed anything unusual about him?"

Ding Yijin asked with some dissatisfaction.

He seriously misjudged Shen Xuan!
"Abnormal? Does ascetic training count?"

"And also, he has a talent for talisman making!"

Manager Ding stammered.

There was one more thing he didn't dare say.

Be cautious.

Timid and afraid of trouble, unwilling to cause trouble.

"Go down!"

The head of the Ding family waved his hand, signaling Manager Ding to step down.

"It has nothing to do with Qingtao. I have also been paying attention to Shen Xuan. My old eyes are failing me, and I have misjudged him!" Patriarch Ding said with a sigh.

"Thinking about it, that makes sense. If he were truly an ordinary person, why would Qin Yuehan and Lü Zhengying of the Qingyun Sect favor him so much and exchange letters with him!"

"How about we try picking a female cultivator from the Ding family?" Ding Yijin asked.

The Ding family patriarch, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

"No need!"

"If he really wanted to, he would have brought it up long ago."

"Relying on external forces is not advisable. The revival of the Ding family ultimately depends on its own people!"

The head of the Ding family and Ding Yijin nodded in agreement.

The same story unfolded in other cultivation families, such as the Zhao family of Zifeng Mountain, the He family of Wohu Ridge, and the Tao family of Wanzhu Forest.

……

Shen Xuan had anticipated the discussions in the market.

He deliberately displayed his strength.

"Appropriately showcasing one's strengths can avoid a lot of trouble!"

Having read extensively in his previous life, he had long understood this principle.

When you are weak, others will only think about bullying you.

Once you demonstrate sufficient strength, others will not easily provoke you.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is a fundamental law of nature.

That's why he displayed his divine power in front of others when facing the tribulation cultivators, all to establish his authority.

Different strategies should be adopted at different stages.

After fully releasing the pressure, Shen Xuan walked out of the bathhouse with satisfaction.

Ding Yuyao was already slumped in the bathtub, soaking in hot water, too exhausted to stand up.

"My wife, please rest well. I'm going to practice my martial arts!"

Upon entering the training room, Shen Xuan began to plunder the bloodline talent of the Water-Splitting Rhinoceros.

The blood basin on the stone table contained only about ten catties of fresh blood from the water-repelling rhinoceros.

This is the maximum amount of demonic beast blood that the Mysterious Jade Talisman can refine in a single session.

"As one's cultivation level deepens, the amount of demon beast blood that can be refined will gradually increase."

"But now, this is the only way!"

Shen Xuan guided his thoughts and activated the mysterious jade talisman.

After the golden light faded.

[Plunderable Talents: Water Repellent, Armor Transformation, Water Arrow]

Shen Xuan decisively chose the [Water Repellent] talent.

[Talent: Water Repellent (28/100)]
