Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 79 Silver Hook Sea Serpent (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

After finishing tidying up, Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely satisfied.

The hunting trip was quickly cancelled.

He's a tycoon now!

There's no need to risk your life for a few spirit stones.

Of course, to avoid suspicion, he still needed to create a [Water Escape Talisman].

This life-or-death battle with Bai Xinghe was incredibly profitable, making him rich overnight.

The higher the level of a cultivator, the more they like to carry most of their wealth with them.

By robbing and killing him once, one could obtain most of the cultivator's wealth.

"Therefore, either don't act at all, or when you do, show no mercy!"

"Unfortunately, I can't use any of these magical treasures, elixirs, or talismans..."

Shen Xuan felt a little regretful, but happily put it away and left the training room.

I'm in such a good mood tonight, it's time to celebrate!

Full of confidence, Shen Xuan walked towards the bedroom.

Get ready for another big battle!
Ding Yuyao was extremely tired.

I just woke up.

A familiar voice came to my ears.

"Yaoyao, don't be lazy, your husband needs to practice his marksmanship and horsemanship!"

Ding Yuyao immediately turned pale.

They still wanted to argue.

Her delicate body had been flipped over...

The days passed by.

In the Cloud Abyss Immortal City, all was calm and peaceful.

However, Qinglong Bay gradually became a battlefield between the Chihong Sect and the Tianqiao Sect.

At first, it was just a small-scale operation.

Only Qi Refining cultivators were dispatched.

Not long after, there were casualties.

Then, the Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared.

The two sides clashed violently in Qinglong Bay.

The two groups were already fraught with conflict.

Driven by their own interests, Tianyan Copper Mine and its members are unwilling to compromise, making negotiations difficult.

Let's see who's truly capable.

Ding Yijin took the lead.

They became the vanguard of the Tianqiao Sect's attack on Qinglongfang.

"He is the flag bearer of the Tianqiao Sect in attacking Qinglong Bay, and his life is not in danger for the time being."

Upon learning the news, Shen Xuan secretly analyzed the situation.

If the Tianqiao Sect occupies Qinglong Bay, it will be able to digest it smoothly.

Ding Yijin will mysteriously evaporate.

"The two sects are evenly matched, and it is impossible to determine the outcome for the time being."

Shen Xuan saw through the true nature of the war between the two sects at a glance.

Besides vying for the Tianyan Copper Mine, the powerful sect leaders took the opportunity to form cliques and weaken opposing forces within the sect.

"Therefore, without a solid foundation, even joining a sect does not guarantee a smooth life; one may very well become a victim of power struggles at the top."

Seeing that the Crimson Rainbow Sect hadn't noticed him, Shen Xuan was completely relieved.

In the days that followed, he patiently practiced his spiritual cultivation and created talismans.

As he crafted more and more exquisite Water Escape Talismans, his reputation gradually spread.

Some people even came directly to my door asking for talismans.

Shen Xuan greeted them all with a smile and offered them at reasonable prices.

Anyway, he didn't rely on the income from the [Water Escape Talisman].

This is a good opportunity to build connections.

Those who can activate the high-quality [Water Escape Talisman] are all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

In Shen Xuan's view.

Multiple friends have multiple roads.

You never know when you might need it.

By saving just a few spirit stones, one can gain the favor of a late-stage Qi Refining demon hunter.

For someone with substantial wealth like him, this is a very good investment.

The investment quickly yielded returns.

A demon hunter told Shen Xuan that traces of silver hook sea serpents had appeared in the waters near Mingyang Island.

Shen Xuan's eyes lit up.

This is a top-grade water-attribute demon beast.

Moreover, it is extremely dangerous and highly poisonous!

Its toxicity is so potent that it can kill a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator within a few breaths.

Even a medium-grade detoxifying pill could not alleviate the deadly venom of the Silver Hook Sea Snake.

Perhaps, he can steal the Silver Hook Sea Serpent's venomous talent!

Shen Xuan's water elemental root is now at 31 points.

He plans to raise his Water Spirit Root to over 50 points during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Reaching the level of a superior spiritual root.

In this way, it becomes possible to build a better foundation.

I've heard that Qin Yuehan is a mid-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator. She still retains a glimmer of hope for forming her Core.

At the very least, one can cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Although Lü Zhengying successfully established his foundation, it was only a low-grade Dao foundation.

Let alone Core Formation.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is his upper limit.

Although both are Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lü Zhengying's status in the Qingyun Sect is somewhat lower than Qin Yuehan's.

To be on the safe side, Shen Xuan did not hunt the Silver Hook Sea Serpent, but instead spread the word that he was willing to buy its essence blood at a high price.

He plundered the talent of "Immunity to All Poisons" from the armored crocodile and cultivated it to a minor level.

However, the venom of the silver hook sea snake is extremely potent.

He didn't want to test the poison on himself.

For him, problems that could be solved with spirit stones were not worth the risk.

A month later.

New information has arrived.

The Silver Hook Sea Serpent is a top-grade monster!
Moreover, it is a top-grade demon beast that is about to break through to the second tier!

The Zheng family of Mingyang Island dispatched a large group of cultivators to search for and hunt the Silver Hook Sea Serpent.

After several engagements, they suffered heavy losses.

Several late-stage Qi Refining experts have perished!
This infuriated the Zheng family.

They publicly claimed that this silver hook sea serpent had a blood feud with the Zheng family.

A hefty reward is offered for the trail of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent.

Top-grade water-type monster!

Shen Xuan immediately became interested.

This also means that the Silver Hook Sea Serpent can greatly enhance his spiritual root aptitude.

The essence of just one Silver Hook Sea Serpent is enough to plunder its Silver Hook Venom talent.

As the hype grew, more and more news about the Silver Hook Sea Serpent spread throughout Cloud Abyss Immortal City.

It is said that some people have personally witnessed Five Poisons Sect cultivators appearing in the near sea.

Although the Five Poisons Sect is not a demonic or evil sect.

However, the Five Poisons cultivators, who primarily use poison techniques, are known for their eccentric personalities and volatile tempers. They are quick to use poison and ambush others at the slightest provocation, making them not to be trifled with!

The Zheng family of Mingyang Island can only intimidate rogue cultivators.

The Five Poisons cultivators didn't take the Zheng family cultivators seriously at all.

Monsters are all born and raised in nature.

It's impossible for the Zheng family to just casually mention something and suddenly the monster becomes part of their family.

According to the hunting rules of the cultivation world, whoever hunts it naturally owns it.

If you want it, it's simple, just steal it.

Whoever is stronger, belongs to them.

There's no need to preach any grand principles.

The appearance of the Five Poisons cultivator rendered the Zheng family's statement worthless.

Skilled demon hunters should continue to form teams and seek opportunities to hunt down the Silver Hook Sea Serpent.

Roughly estimated, this silver hook sea serpent could be sold for more than 10,000 spirit stones.

The price is roughly equivalent to half a Foundation Establishment Pill.

This also drove those demon hunters who had reached the Qi Refining stage but lacked spirit stones into a frenzy.

In the world of cultivation, people have always earned their living through their own abilities!
Those who lack ability will not only be left out of the table, but will also become the dish on the table!

Shen Xuan was restless and yearning for something.

I plan to join the group and go to the nearshore area.

All five poisonous cultivators have appeared.

The essence and blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent are quite beneficial to cultivators of the Five Poisons Sect in their practice of poison arts.

The possibility of acquiring the essence blood of the Silver Hook Sea Serpent using spirit stones has been greatly reduced.

really.

Then the news came.

A conflict broke out between cultivators from the Five Poisons Sect and the Zheng family.

Although he is a local strongman.

However, the overall strength of the Zheng family cultivators was significantly lower than that of the Five Poisons Sect cultivators.

He was beaten badly by the Five Poisons Sect cultivators and fled back to Mingyang Island.

The following news was more explosive than the last.

The Azure Water Sect has also joined the fray!
The elder leading the group, the Biyue Sect elder, fought a battle with the Five Poisons Sect elder.

It is said that the battle ended in a draw, with each side wary of the other.

Finally, an agreement was reached between the two parties.

Each person has to rely on their own skills; whoever hunts it gets to keep it.

Neither of them should attempt to seize it.

This greatly excited the demon hunters of Yunyuan Immortal City.

Information about team hunting for the Silver Hook Sea Serpent is everywhere.

Shen Xuan possesses numerous water-based talents, allowing him to move freely in the deep sea, so he naturally wouldn't join those hunting teams.

He sent Zhao Chunsheng to gather intelligence on the Silver Hook Sea Serpent.

A top-tier water-type monster—don't miss this opportunity!
Although he was wary of its toxicity, with so many demon hunters surrounding him, he, skilled in concealing his presence, might not be without an opportunity.

Zhao Chunsheng, however, brought him some shocking information.

Near Mingyang Island, a new underwater sacred site may be emerging!
