Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 52 Late Stage of Qi Refining (Available for purchase tomorrow)
At the auction, most of the attendees were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Those who buy anti-aging pills are not using them themselves.

After Shen Xuan made his bid, there was a brief silence.

Subsequently, only two people followed suit and raised the price.

After Shen Xuan shouted "sixty-five yuan", no one followed suit.

For the rest of the time, Shen Xuan watched the show in peace.

After the auction, Shen Xuan returned home.

He wanted to give his wife a huge surprise!

……

"Husband, what is it? Can't you wait a while? I'm practicing my martial arts right now!"

"Is practicing martial arts more important, or is my husband more important?"

Ding Yuyao's ears turned red: "My husband is important. But it's still early, we have plenty of time tonight."

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

"My dear wife, what are you thinking about! I bought a gift and wanted to show it to you!"

"If I don't like it, I'll return it!"

With a slight thought, Shen Xuan sent a delicate porcelain bottle flying to the table.

"Open it and take a look."

Ding Yuyao curiously opened the porcelain bottle.

There was only one elixir inside.

It has a wonderful aroma and is radiant with colorful light.

"Husband, what kind of elixir is this?"

Ding Yuyao is not stupid.

She was simply ignorant and had never seen this elixir before.

Just by looking at the exquisite porcelain bottle, one can tell that the elixir is extremely valuable.

"You can't read? The name of the elixir isn't written on the bottom of the porcelain bottle?"

Ding Yuyao picked up the porcelain bottle, turned it over, and her eyes widened instantly.

"Rejuvenating Pill!"

"Husband, is this a youth-preserving pill?"

Ding Yuyao couldn't believe it.

This is a youth-preserving elixir!

This is a pill that many female cultivators of the same age in the Ding family dream of.

But she was just an ordinary person.

What merit or ability do I possess to deserve such a miraculous elixir!
Ding Yuyao is twenty-six years old this year!

She has been married to Shen Xuan for ten years!
She was still a young girl when she got married.

Now, although they live in a Class B mansion, they are surrounded by spiritual energy.

Furthermore, successful practice of the "Jade Maiden True Scripture" has the effect of nourishing life and prolonging life.

But his anxiety about his appearance never diminished.

My husband, Shen Xuan, seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

It was as if some kind of talent had suddenly been awakened.

With progress in cultivation, one's level of spiritual attainment increases daily.

His reputation grew.

Household expenses have been rising steadily.

What's even stranger is that her husband, who is seventy years old, is becoming more and more energetic.

In a battle between masters, victory or defeat often hinges on a single thought.

However, in recent years, the husband has repeatedly won in their friendly matches with his wife.

He only stopped to rest after beating her until she begged for mercy and admitted defeat.

The cultivators from the Ding family treated her exceptionally well!
Although her husband had all sorts of strange ideas, which led her to do many things she couldn't explain.

But her husband always maintained a clean and virtuous character.

She has never had an affair with anyone else.

The VIP jade plaque of Tianxiang Pavilion has never been used.

Even Jiang Xueqi privately asked her what kind of curse she had secretly placed on Shen Xuan.

Otherwise, given Shen Xuan's status and power, why would he be so infatuated with her?

For successful men, having multiple wives and concubines is commonplace.

Let alone the cultivation world.

Even in the mortal world, it would be difficult to find many people like Shen Xuan.

Ding Yuyao stared blankly at the Youth-Preserving Pill, warm tears slowly falling.

She had heard of this elixir.

It has a skin-rejuvenating effect as long as it is taken.

Although aging will still occur, the rate of aging will be significantly slowed down.

Each one costs as much as fifty or sixty spirit stones!

She still looks young and beautiful.

Her husband still harbored a strong interest in exploring her body.

If in another ten years or so, her beauty faded, her skin became dull, and she resembled an old woman, would her husband still treat her the same way? Now, her anxiety was finally relieved.

"My husband, you're so wonderful!"

Ding Yuyao threw herself into Shen Xuan's arms and murmured as if in a dream, "How could a mere mortal like me be worthy of such a precious elixir as the Youth Preservation Pill!"

Shen Xuan found it somewhat amusing.

"Just tell me, do you want it or not? If not, I'll return it! It's sixty-five spirit stones!"

"Ah! Of course I want it! My husband gave it to me!"

Ding Yuyao kissed Shen Xuan, completely absorbed in the moment.

"My lord, go take a bath. I will serve you well tonight!"

Shen Xuan whispered a few words in her ear. "Let's try..."

Ding Yuyao blushed deeply.

He nodded slightly again.

……

one year later.

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his five palms facing the sky, and began to circulate the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique].

On the mysterious jade talisman.

[Cultivation Technique: Mastery of the Divine Hidden Ocean Technique (399/400)]

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Level 6: 99/100]

The breakthrough is just around the corner!

At the dantian, the azure-green spiritual energy gradually condenses, circulating in wisps along the five internal organs, forming its own little world, full of vitality.

With the nourishment of the water elemental energy, Shen Xuan's internal organs and meridians became stronger.

With the aid of the spirit-gathering array, the rich spiritual energy in the training room, like mist and smoke, permeated Shen Xuan's body with each breath.

it's time!

Shen Xuan concentrated his mind and crushed the two mid-grade spirit stones in his hand. Pure water spirit power burst out from his dantian and spread along his meridians to his entire body.

boom!
It sounded like thunder.

Shen Xuan was startled.

In a single instant.

It felt as if some stagnant joints in my body had been unblocked.

Break free from constraints and ascend to a new realm.

An extremely powerful spiritual force suddenly erupted from his dantian, instantly filling his entire body.

The watery spiritual energy that had been swirling around him like mist and smoke suddenly seemed to be drawn in by a powerful force, frantically drilling into Shen Xuan's body.

The light of the Spirit Gathering Array swayed gently, and it was also drawn in by Shen Xuan.

The spiritual energy flowed rapidly, creating a gust of wind in the training room that swept towards Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan took a deep breath.

In an instant, all the spiritual energy in the training room, like rivers flowing into the sea, was swallowed up by him.

Within the Dantian.

The color of the water elemental energy suddenly deepened, faintly revealing a liquid-like substance.

Their spiritual senses, spiritual power, physical body, and even the ability to sense the five senses have all been greatly enhanced!
"Seventh level of Qi Refining, now entering the late stage of Qi Refining!"

As he circulated his spiritual energy, a look of joy appeared on Shen Xuan's face.

During the Qi Refining process, each level of the small challenge increases spiritual power by 10% to 20%.

Each minor realm increases spiritual power by 30% to 50%.

From the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level, Shen Xuan's spiritual power increased by more than 50%!
Reaching the upper limit of Qi Refining Realm cultivators!

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, his strength has made a qualitative leap.

His spiritual sense and spiritual power are comparable to those of a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator.

If there were a water source, they could beat a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator to a pulp!

It's not easy!

I'm seventy-one years old!

Shen Xuan has finally entered the late stage of Qi Refining, breaking free from the category of low-level cultivators!
【Shouyuan: 71/138】

Indeed, lifespan is not so easy to extend.

Even with the [Life Extension] talent at the mastery stage, breaking through a minor realm only adds three years to one's lifespan.

[Spiritual Root: Water 28/100]

That year, he stopped plundering the talents of demonic beasts, and his water spirit root aptitude remained at 28 points.

During this time, I tried some low-grade first-tier water-attribute monster blood, but it had no effect.

Shen Xuan sighed softly, deeply feeling the difficulty of cultivation.

"A Class B residence is equivalent to a high-grade first-tier Daoist academy. It requires three years of daily enhancement using a spirit-gathering array. After that, breaking through will only become more difficult."

In theory, those with a mid-grade spiritual root have the opportunity to achieve Qi Refining Perfection and establish a Dao Foundation.

However, most of those who successfully establish their Dao foundation have superior spiritual roots.

Moreover, Daoji (a type of ancient Chinese alchemy) is also classified by quality.

The path of a low-grade Dao Foundation is limited, stopping at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

A mid-grade Dao Foundation can be used to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Only those with superior or top-grade Dao Foundation have a chance of forming a Core.

Of course, there are also a very small number of cultivators who defy fate and change their destiny.

Using a Dao foundation of inferior quality, one condenses the inner elixir.

The Heavenly Way is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one escapes, which is the variable, something that can be encountered but not sought.

Shen Xuan didn't dwell on this special exception.

"To lay the foundation before the age of ninety, the goal remains unchanged!"

Shen Xuan stabilized his spiritual power, his Dao heart remaining steadfast.

"I've reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and my various talents can continue to improve."

"In addition, we need to plunder more demonic beast bloodline talents to improve our water elemental root aptitude."

"So what I need to do is leave Qinglong Bay and find a good place to stay near the East China Sea!"

"The vast number of monsters in the East Sea can provide me with more water-attribute monster talents!"

There are still too few water-related monsters in Longze River.

The islands of the East China Sea are more suitable for Shen Xuan's cultivation.

Moreover, Qinglongwan Market has a major hidden danger.

The Ding family patriarch is nearing the end of his life!
It will be available for purchase at midnight tomorrow, so I'm posting it early. I'll be updating daily for 30 days after it's released. Please subscribe.
