Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 68 Jade Electric Eel (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

After opening his shop, Zhao Chunsheng quickly adapted to his new life as a shop owner.

No need to fight to the death outside, just make full use of your verbal skills.

In just over a year, he made a name for himself.

Of course, Shen Xuan and Wang Fugui played a crucial role in this.

The introduction of the Water Escape Talisman boosted the reputation of his shop.

In particular, the high-quality Water Escape Talisman allowed him to make quite a few connections.

Wang Fugui entrusted him with the acquisition of designated sea monsters and materials, from which he could also earn a considerable commission.

Other elixirs, talismans, and magical artifacts are all genuine spiritual items produced by the Azure Water Sect. Although the profit margin is small, we can still make a little money.

After a year, after deducting all expenses, he actually earned more than three thousand spirit stones.

He gets 50%, which means he receives 1,700 spirit stones a year, enough to support his family.

Shen Xuan told him to pay attention to high-grade water-attribute sea monsters, especially those with special talents.

One of them is the black jade electric eel.

A gregarious sea monster, reaching a length of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) when fully grown, with a body like black jade and a tail containing lightning and electricity.

It can generate lightning and electricity in an instant, causing storms in the water and extending the electric field to cover an area of ​​tens of feet around it.

Monsters and cultivators caught in the electric field are easily stunned, rendered immobile, and devoured by it if caught off guard.

What's terrifying is that the Jade Electric Eel is also a gregarious monster.

When dozens of them gathered together, the power of the thunder and electricity became even more terrifying.

Even the Water Method Foundation Building dared not lightly challenge its power.

This is why the essence blood of the black jade electric eel cannot be purchased in Yunyuan Immortal City.

Actually, it's not just the black jade electric eel.

Other high-grade water-attribute monster blood essences with special talents are also very difficult to obtain.

There are too many water-based cultivators in Cloud Abyss Immortal City!

The Azure Water Sect is also acquiring high-grade water-attribute monster materials at high prices.

In short supply!

Some mid-grade water-type monsters can still be seen.

Low-grade water-type monsters are in oversupply and are inexpensive.

The black jade electric eel generally lives at depths of hundreds of meters on the seabed.

It was pitch black there, with immense water pressure, and inhabited by all sorts of aquatic monsters. Water magic cultivators dared not risk their lives there.

The appearance of the black jade electric eel in the shallow waters this time is likely for another reason.

Zhao Chunsheng received intelligence that a sacred underwater site might be emerging in a nearby sea area!
However, Zhao Chunsheng could not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Shen Xuan didn't take it to heart.

The underwater sacred land—just thinking about it makes it clear that it's not something he can currently access.

What he values ​​more is the black jade electric eel.

Lightning-like talent in water!

It can not only greatly enhance attack power.

It can also be used to refine the body and improve physical strength.

"These special water-attribute demonic beasts are very difficult to acquire. There are too few of them, and too many cultivators are needed!"

"Not only alchemists and weapon refiners, but it's also said that many inner disciples of the Azure Water Sect have been mobilized!"

……

early morning.

Shen Xuan instructed Ding Yuyao to stay at home.

He left Yunyuan Immortal City alone.

Along the way, they encountered many cultivators who had just left the immortal city.

Most of them were water-based cultivators.

In groups of three or five, they huddle together in solidarity.

Very few act alone.

These cultivators all got up early to hunt sea monsters.

A small number of people, like him, went to search for the Jade Electric Eel.

The sky is bright.

Shen Xuan found a secluded corner and did not detect any other cultivators using his [Insight Technique].

Use the [Invisibility] spell and enhance the [Concealment] spell to quietly hide yourself.

He arrived at the seaside and quietly entered the water from a beach. The Cloud Abyss Immortal City was built on the shore of the East Sea.

The surrounding area consists of spiritual vein islands belonging to various cultivation families.

There are also spiritual veins in the seabed, forming various underwater spiritual lands.

Every underwater sacred land is inhabited by many aquatic monsters.

There are also various spiritual ores that can be used to refine artifacts and spiritual plants that can be used to refine pills.

Hunting aquatic monsters and mining underwater spiritual minerals and plants have become the main sources of income for most independent cultivators in Cloud Abyss Immortal City.

If you're lucky, you can get thousands of spirit stones at once and become rich overnight!
Countless cultivators perished in the sacred underwater lands, their bodies devoured by demonic beasts.

Every day, monks go out to sea and never return.

With the excavation efforts of various island families, the less dangerous underwater sacred sites located near the islands have been largely monopolized.

The other underwater spiritual lands are far from islands and land, deep in the sea, with high water pressure, and are inhabited by powerful monsters.

The Jade Electric Eel is one such deep-sea monster.

They live hundreds of feet deep on the seabed and rarely come to shallow waters.

"Since I can't acquire it, I'll take the initiative."

Shen Xuan's strength has long surpassed the peak of Qi Refining.

In the sea, with his various talents stacked together, he is conservatively estimated to be comparable to a Foundation Establishment Water Technique.

As for the black jade electric eel.

He did some research.

The electric eel's electricity requires water as a medium for propagation.

He has the talent of "water-repelling".

As long as he clears the water around him, the electric eel's electricity cannot be conducted to him.

Without the power of thunder and lightning, the black jade electric eel would be at his mercy!
What Shen Xuan needs to guard against are other water-based cultivators.

However, he can also neutralize the magical attacks of water-based cultivators using the [Water-Repelling Technique].

This is the source of his confidence to venture into the sea alone.

"Even if it's a Foundation Establishment Water Technique, I can withstand it."

"Even if I can't fight them off, I can still escape unscathed using the Water Release Technique!"

Shen Xuan's Water Escape talent has reached the mastery stage. With the combined enhancement of Water Control, Iron Bones, and Water Repelling, a single escape technique can reach 300 zhang (approximately 150 meters) and travel at a speed of 100 meters per second!
This speed is something that ordinary foundation-building water techniques cannot catch up with!
After moving to Yunyuan Immortal City, Shen Xuan has been searching for water-attribute demon beasts with various special talents.

After obtaining the Sea Swordfish, he found it difficult to acquire a sufficient amount of water-attribute monster blood essence.

The gregarious black jade electric eel perfectly meets Shen Xuan's needs!
……

Deep in the sea.

While using his water manipulation to move stealthily, Shen Xuan also observed the movements of the surrounding waters.

"According to Zhao Chunsheng's intelligence, someone spotted the black jade electric eel not far ahead."

The further you go, the deeper the seabed becomes, where many powerful deep-sea monsters lurk.

Some are even at the second tier, comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage of the human race.

Shen Xuan was unwilling to provoke them, and with his [Insight] talent, he repeatedly avoided various unknown deep-sea monsters in advance.

His only goal was the swarm of black jade electric eels.

At first, he could sense some water-based cultivators.

As he stealthily traveled further and further from the coast, he sensed fewer and fewer cultivators.

It was dark all around.

In water, a cultivator's spiritual sense is limited, less than one-tenth of that on land.

However, relying on his [Insight Technique], Shen Xuan was able to clearly perceive the flow and stillness of the water within a thirty-foot radius.

He probed carefully.

"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish..."

With renewed vigor, Shen Xuan cautiously made his way forward.

Suddenly, they sensed a strange power coming from ahead.

It's thunder and lightning!
Shen Xuan was overjoyed.

The Azure Water Sword on his back automatically appeared in his hand.

Accompanied by the buzzing sound of the sword, a bright sword light pierced through the darkness, illuminating the underwater scene ahead.

It's a black jade electric eel!
Not one, but seven!
At this moment, stimulated by the sword light, they suddenly became violent.

In sight, more than a dozen bolts of lightning, flashing with a chilling silvery-white arc, rapidly spread along the seawater.

The next moment, a silvery-white electric field formed within a 30-foot radius of the black jade electric eel swarm!
It spread towards Shen Xuan!
