Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 69 Overwhelming Thunder and Lightning (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Shen Xuan was prepared and was not surprised but rather pleased.

[Water-repelling technique]!
Centered on Shen Xuan, the water flow within a three-zhang radius automatically parted.

The lightning spread into the seawater near Shen Xuan, surrounding him, but it could not reach Shen Xuan's body!
"This voltage is strong enough!"

Shen Xuan admired the lightning-like electricity emitted by the black jade electric eel.

After a series of crackling sounds, the dozen or so silvery-white arcs of electricity surrounding the area gradually dissipated.

As he expected.

Without the conduction of seawater, the lightning power of the black jade electric eel had no effect on him.

He used the Water-Repelling Technique to cleave open the surrounding seawater, turning a three-zhang radius around it into a vacuum.

In a vacuum, there is no electrical conductivity.

The lightning power of the Jade Electric Eel swarm is immense, capable of stunning other demonic beasts and cultivators, but it has no effect on Shen Xuan.

The black jade electric eels all showed anthropomorphic expressions of surprise, and led by a leader, they whipped their tails wildly, once again unleashing dazzling silver-white arcs of electricity.

This time, the eruption of lightning was even more powerful.

Still useless.

Shen Xuan, on the contrary, calmly walked forward, closing the distance between them.

The black jade electric eels only then realized what was happening and scattered in all directions, trying to escape.

late!

Shen Xuan's dantian transformed spiritual energy into a vast ocean, condensing into seven dark spirit fish shaped like blades.

They leaped out of the ocean of spiritual energy, exuding a violent and intense aura of destruction, and swept along the Azure Water Sword!

The next moment, seven strange, dark spirit fish appeared, their sharp edges extremely keen, carrying a chilling aura and flashing with an icy light, as they swiftly sliced ​​towards the neck of the black jade electric eel.

In just a moment.

All seven black jade electric eels were beheaded.

Shen Xuan moved very quickly.

They parted the water flow beside the dead black jade electric eel, quickly collected its blood, and put the body into a prepared storage bag.

Fortunately, he carried enough storage bags with plenty of space.

Seven black jade electric eels!

Shen Xuan wrapped the storage bag containing the black jade electric eel's corpse and blood inside the beast bag he was carrying.

No one could have imagined that inside the shriveled beast pouch would be ten storage bags, containing the corpses and essence blood of seven black jade electric eels!

Shen Xuan tightly wrapped the beast pouch around his waist.

Then, he used the Water Escape Technique and disappeared from a distance of 300 feet away in an instant.

Not long after he fled.

A group of water magic practitioners rushed over.

"It's the blood of the Jade Electric Eel!"

One of them screamed in alarm.

However, seawater quickly rushed into its mouth.

The rest of the people all changed color and searched everywhere for the figure of the black jade electric eel.

……

Shen Xuan did not linger.

After casting more than a dozen Water Escape Techniques in succession, he then used Water Control Technique to swim underwater.

When they were a hundred miles from the coast, they gradually sensed the movements of other water-based cultivators.

There are also spirit boats specifically used for hunting on the sea.

Water-based cultivators must expend spiritual energy, mental consciousness, and physical strength to cast spells and dive into the sea.

If you expend too much energy, you must surface and return to the spirit boat to rest and recover.

A late-stage Qi Refining cultivator specializing in water magic can typically stay submerged in the sea for about an hour after diving to a depth of twenty zhang.

Shen Xuan, on the other hand, is exceptionally talented in water, capable of diving directly to the bottom of the ocean hundreds of feet deep.

As long as he replenishes his spiritual energy, he can stay in the water for ten days or half a month without returning to the surface.

As they approached the shore, a sudden surge of intense spiritual energy emanated from the sea.

Shen Xuan's body sank rapidly.

Through his [Insight Technique], he could sense that there were more than a dozen cultivators fighting on the sea surface.

"Most of them are water-based cultivators, and these cultivators can exert their strength more effectively on the sea."

"Some of them are cultivators of other attributes."

"It looks like a melee, there are four or five groups of people!"

Shen Xuan had no intention of participating in the battle. He concealed his aura, his body became transparent, and he turned around to find another way back.

Right now!

"Boom!"

A terrifyingly powerful bolt of azure lightning slammed directly into the sea. The next moment...

The violent power of thunder spread along the seawater.

A large number of fish and shrimp in the sea were overturned.

Some of the water-based cultivators above Shen Xuan were immediately electrocuted, some even fainting.

Other water-based cultivators fled swiftly away from the lightning.

Shen Xuan has already dived into the sea.

It was more than 30 zhang (approximately 15 meters) above the sea.

Although the azure lightning bolt was powerful, it was not enough to reach him.

It disappeared after sinking several dozen feet into the sea.

"A lightning magic cultivator, quite strong, able to transmit power for over ten zhang, must be in the late stage of Qi Refining."

Shen Xuan remembered that ordinary lightning travels two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in seawater.

The lightning magic cultivators fighting on the sea can unleash six or seven times the power of natural lightning, which is already quite formidable!
"If you meet me..."

"Forget it, we have no grudge against each other, and he wasn't targeting me, so I'll let him off this time!"

A late-stage Qi Refining Thunder Technique cultivator would be no match for Shen Xuan on the sea.

He had gained a lot this time and was eager to go back and plunder the talent of the Black Jade Electric Eel to master the underwater lightning technique, but unexpected complications arose.

If they return empty-handed, they will inevitably have to surface to see if they can acquire some windfall.

Shen Xuan shook his head and silently walked away from the fighting area.

After landing on a remote coastline, we sped all the way to Cloud Abyss Immortal City.

When he was almost at the gate of the Immortal City, he put away his [Invisibility] spell and revealed himself.

Several cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining nearby were startled by Shen Xuan's sudden appearance.

"This person's invisibility technique is extremely skillful!"

The cultivators exchanged glances and tacitly made way for Shen Xuan to go first.

Shen Xuan disguised himself as a cultivator who returned empty-handed, registered upon entering the city, and then leisurely returned home.

They entered the training room.

Shen Xuan packed up the black jade electric eel in his storage bag.

He began to plunder the bloodline talent of the Jade Electric Eel.

One serving is twelve catties, about one-tenth of the total amount.

After the mysterious jade talisman emitted a golden light...

[Plunderable Talents: Overwhelming Lightning, Electrocution Body, Sharp Teeth]

Shen Xuan chose the [Overturning Sea and Lightning] talent.

【Talent: Overwhelming Lightning (16/100)】

【Daoyun: 438】

This is only one-tenth of the blood of the black jade electric eel.

Shen Xuan considered it for a moment.

With the blood of five Jade Electric Eels, one can plunder the [Overturning Sea Lightning] talent.

"So, I now have two intact and five severely blood-lossed black jade electric eel carcasses to deal with."

These black jade electric eel carcasses are quite troublesome to handle.

Shen Xuan was not a professional and dared not make a move easily, for fear of damaging valuable parts.

Whether it's eel meat, the electric organ in the tail, or even the eyes, teeth, bones, and internal organs, they all have high value.

Shen Xuan estimated that a 200-pound black jade eel could be sold for nearly a thousand spirit stones.

However, the corpses of these monsters are not easy to preserve.

Over time, the spiritual energy it contains will begin to dissipate, and the price will drop sharply.

There's definitely no way to handle this with Zhao Chunsheng.

With his Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation, he could only handle mid-grade demonic beasts.

The profits from high-grade demonic beasts are too great, and Zhao Chunsheng cannot suppress the covetous hearts of those who covet them.

Moreover, he has a family and children, making him vulnerable to threats from others.

"It seems we have no choice but to try our luck with Ruan Siting of the Azure Water Sect!"

After all, he is a sect steward; at most, he can try to negotiate the price, but he wouldn't resort to outright robbery.

Having made his decision, Shen Xuan stopped thinking about it.

First, get a good night's sleep to recuperate.

The next day, he packed the black jade electric eel into seven storage bags and went directly to the Azure Water Sect shop.

I recommend a classic Xianxia novel featuring a sect leader as the protagonist: *Chongming Immortal Sect*. With 170 million words, it's a top-ranked novel on the monthly ticket charts, boasts exquisite writing, and is well worth savoring!
