Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 97 Qi Refining Level Nine (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

Flowers bloom, flowers bloom.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged.

His hands formed a magic seal, and his body was surrounded by spiritual energy. He had a solemn and dignified appearance, as if a god had descended to earth.

The two mid-grade spirit stones placed on the table quietly shattered.

The spiritual energy in the training room grew increasingly dense, with wisps that seemed almost tangible, coiling towards Shen Xuan.

Its aura grew increasingly dazzling, and its body emitted layers of mysterious light that were unpredictable and extremely profound.

a moment.

Suddenly, the sea of ​​spiritual energy in Shen Xuan's dantian surged and churned.

The spiritual energy, which had been as still as the sea, suddenly began to surge.

Just as it was about to reach its limit, a soft sound seemed to be heard.

moment.

The spiritual energy surged like a giant wave, directly engulfing the isolated island formed by the internal organs.

The spiritual energy in the training room seemed to find a channel and surged wildly into Shen Xuan's body.

"boom!"

It was as if something had been smashed to pieces.

Shen Xuan's body shone brightly, his spiritual light dazzling, like the rising sun and a barrage of arrows!
A faint rumbling sound could be heard in the air.

Only then did Shen Xuan slowly open his eyes.

He exhaled a long breath of stale air:
"Ninth level of Qi Refining!"

The violent fluctuations of spiritual energy gradually calmed down.

"Finally, I've broken through! At eighty years old, I've reached the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

Now, Shen Xuan has extremely precise control over his body.

The timing of the breakthrough can already be predicted.

In five years, he broke through from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level.

Although it was difficult, it was within expectations.

"Every step on the path of spiritual practice is incredibly difficult!"

"Luckily, I now have a superior-grade spiritual root!"

The past two years of cultivation have put some pressure on Shen Xuan.

The older you get, the more your Qi and blood decline, and the more difficult it becomes to build a solid foundation!
While regulating his spiritual energy, Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

I aim to break through to the peak of Qi Refining within five years.

He is now close to having a superior-grade spiritual root!
The speed of cultivation is much faster than before.

At the peak of Qi Refining, one can hone their skills for a maximum of six months before attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment.

He vaguely sensed that his body's functions were declining.

The speed is still very slow.

But it made him feel extremely anxious.

Time waits for no one!
After all, he's not young anymore.

Eighty years old!

Even her once-proud appearance has gradually matured.

He used to be like a scholar in his thirties.

Now, he is a forty-year-old scholar.

It was already early morning.

Shen Xuan walked out of the training room and went to the backyard, gazing at the East China Sea in the distance.

Beneath the surface of the sea live countless sea monsters.

They are both struggling to survive.

Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle.

Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp...

This applies to everything in the world.

In the sea of ​​knowledge.

The mysterious golden talisman shimmered with golden light.

【Shouyuan: 80/142】

Reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining only increased his lifespan by two years.

This was after he had achieved minor success with his [Life Extension] talent and his experience bar was more than half full.

Aside from mastering [Conceal Breath], [Invisibility], and [Self-Healing], most other talents are similar.

However, the skills "Silver Hook Snake Venom" and "Overturning Rivers and Seas" are still at the mastery stage.

It's not that he doesn't want to get promoted.

However, due to limitations in cultivation level, the experience bar has almost stagnated.

Even with his [Self-Healing] talent, it took him over 6,000 [Daoist Rhyme] points to reach the Great Completion stage.

He discovered that his self-healing ability could effectively slow down his aging process.

That's why they were willing to spend so many Daoist points.

【Daoyun: 3220】

In the past two years, Tang Renhao sold him another top-grade first-tier sea monster.

Silverwing Flying Fish
It cost 1,200 spirit stones.

However, the only talent that can be plundered is [Aerial Gliding].

For a water-based cultivator like Shen Xuan, this talent is somewhat of a waste.

It has very low practicality.

I gained over a thousand points of Daoist energy.

To Shen Xuan's further disappointment, his water elemental root aptitude only improved by a small amount.

[Spiritual Root: Water 47/100]

This also brought him to his senses.

Spiritual root aptitude is not so easy to improve.

The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. To plunder the bloodline talents of demonic beasts and improve your spiritual root aptitude, you'll probably need to find second-tier demonic beasts in the future.

The essence blood of a first-tier demon beast will eventually lose its effectiveness.

Fortunately, he still has a long life ahead of him.

"To establish a foundation, one needs to prepare Foundation Establishment Pills, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, a Foundation Establishment Secret Chamber, and Spirit Protection Pills. Now, I only need one Foundation Establishment Pill."

After turning the tables on the traitor and killing two Foundation Establishment cultivators, he reaped a great harvest and became quite wealthy.

In the past two years, he has publicly acquired Zhujidan materials.

Apart from the bio-fruit and the demon core, the rest were collected one after another.

The years are all exactly five hundred years.

To prevent any accidents, he also spent three thousand spirit stones to buy two Heart Protection Pills.

Shen Xuan stood in the backyard, quietly watching the sunrise over the sea and sky.

It shone with golden light.

Warm and cozy.

A figure quietly approached from behind.

She gently hugged him from behind.

"My lord, the sky is so beautiful!"

……

When the two returned to the inner courtyard, the house was filled with the fragrant aroma of meat.

Zhu Yingying is stir-frying monster meat.

In the past two years, she has completely integrated into the community.

Not only did he learn talisman making from Shen Xuan, but he also learned cooking from Ding Yuyao.

Zhu Yingying is a true foodie.

Because of her practice of seductive arts, Zhu Yingying has always had a very good appetite.

Anyway, Shen Xuan paid for all the monster meat, spirit vegetables, and spirit rice.

Shen Xuan paid for every spirit stone she spent.

Zhu Yingying was very happy at the Shen family home.

He not only broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

He was also promoted to a low-grade talisman master, and advanced the [Concealing Breath Talisman] and [Invisibility Talisman] to the proficient stage.

Not only that.

She also learned the [Breath Concealment Technique], [Invisibility Technique], and [Water Control Technique] from Shen Xuan.

The first two are fine.

The latter was personally taught by Shen Xuan, and its power was extraordinary.

Zhu Yingying was originally a water-based cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root aptitude, and was intelligent and skillful.

He quickly learned to do it quite well.

after eating.

Ding Yuyao went back to her bedroom for a midday nap.

"Brother-in-law, how was the food I cooked?"

After clearing away the dishes, Zhu Yingying smiled radiantly, but her smile seemed to conceal something.

"better."

Shen Xuan gave a perfunctory reply.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing! Did you break through again?"

"Ah."

Zhu Yingying slowly approached, her pretty face as beautiful as a blooming peony, her voice full of allure.

"Brother-in-law, when will you teach me the [Condensed Water Transformation Technique]?"

She had seen Shen Xuan use the [Condensing Water to Form a Sharp Edge Technique] and knew its power; she was extremely envious and had brought it up several times already.

"Let's talk about it later. First, let's master the [Water Control Technique]."

It wasn't that Shen Xuan didn't want to teach her.

[Water Control] has a bonus effect on most water-based spells.

After mastering the Water Control Technique, practicing the Water Condensation and Edge Transformation Technique will be twice as effective and its power will increase several times over!
Zhu Yingying had no idea about all of this.

He muttered to himself.

"You're so stingy! I won't cook for you next time!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly, as if he had remembered something, and said with ill intent.

"Wow! You've gotten quite the talker in just over ten days!"

"I'd like to see for myself!"

Zhu Yingying remained defiant.

"So what if I want to see it? I'm not afraid of you, you old geezer!"

Soon, clothes were scattered all over Zhu Yingying's bedroom floor.

A light green long skirt, a pink bodice, white silk stockings, and delicate embroidered shoes...

Shen Xuan lay on the soft bed, his eyes closed in contentment, quietly enjoying Zhu Yingying's service.

Zhu Yingying raised her head, glanced at Shen Xuan who looked calm and composed, and then her pretty face showed a hint of fatigue as she gently wiped the corner of her mouth.

"continue!"

Shen Xuan's voice came through.

"You want to learn the [Condensing Water to Form a Sharp Edge] technique? Is this all you've got?"

"You old bastard, you're really wicked!"

Zhu Yingying continued to work diligently.

Shen Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yingying's beautiful head, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

In the past two years, Zhu Yingying has become completely obsessed with him.

Shen Xuan couldn't offer any guidance on seductive arts.

However, he could still offer some guidance to Zhu Yingying regarding water mechanics.

Every corner of the Shen residence bears traces of their battles.

Upon learning that Shen Xuan was unwilling to leave behind any offspring, Zhu Yingying went all out, sweating profusely.
