Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 336: Power Surge

Half a year later.

Cold Jade Peak.

Practice Room in Shen Xuan’s Cave Mansion.

Mist billows and clouds steam.

Rich Spiritual Qi permeates the entire practice room.

Shen Xuan sits cross-legged, with Five Hearts Facing Heaven, closing his eyes to cultivate.

Within the Dantian.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword shrinks down to the size of a few inches, becoming the fixing needle of his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

Essence of Water Spiritual Power circulates through his internal organs, like the tides rising and falling, swelling and receding with the Divine Soul’s thought, endlessly.

The intense Water Spiritual Power in the practice room continuously churns, forming vortices that absorb into Shen Xuan’s body.

With a slight move of Shen Xuan’s divine thought.

In an instant.

The Water Spiritual Power in his body condenses into Ice Spiritual Power.

Shen Xuan becomes an ice sculpture, exuding an intense chill.

In just over ten breaths.

The practice room turns into an icy realm.

The dense Water Spiritual Qi turns into ice pillars, frantically pouring into Shen Xuan’s body.

With the operation of Shen Xuan’s True Ice Heart Technique, merging into his Dao Foundation Ice Sea.

At this moment, half of Shen Xuan’s Dao Foundation is an iceberg, the other half a Spirit Sea.

Seemingly calm.

Yet, beneath the sea, undercurrents surge, harboring immense, unimaginable power.

A single Profound Ice Spirit Lotus stands steadily atop the iceberg in the sea, quietly blooming.

The lotus leaves evolve various mysterious Ice Technique Dao Patterns.

The iceberg’s area constantly expands.

After over a hundred breaths.

The Dao Foundation transforms into an iceberg.

Shen Xuan slowly opens his eyes.

The True Ice Heart Technique finally advanced to the mastery stage!

"That wasn’t easy!"

Shen Xuan exhales a long breath.

A cold light flashes in his eyes.

Half a year ago, he refused the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association’s invitation to become an Honored Guest Elder.

At that time, Shangguan Yan’Er and Hou Jing wore expressions of utter disbelief.

According to Hou Jing, the treatment for Honored Guest Elders at the association is extremely high, with an annual salary of eighty thousand Spirit Stones!

They don’t need to handle any specific affairs regularly.

Only appearing during negotiations for the association is required.

Shangguan Yan’Er was encouraging by the side.

Clearly, she hoped Shen Xuan would take the position with the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association.

So she and the Shangguan Clan could have more influence within the association.

Shen Xuan remained unmoved.

Firmly refused.

Wealth Attraction seemed to have manifested in the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association.

This made Shen Xuan laugh and cry at the same time.

The association’s base is in Liaoyuan County.

That area is under the influence of the Profound Celestial Sect.

Shen Xuan did not wish to become entangled in this karma.

Despite Hou Jing’s sweet speaking.

Pledging that nothing would be required of him.

When matters truly arise, he couldn’t simply be a turtle hiding in its shell.

Even if he didn’t care about tarnishing his reputation.

He had to consider the stance of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

As a direct disciple of both branches of the Cyan Cloud Sect, travelling outside required maintaining the sect’s reputation.

The mere eighty thousand Spirit Stones a year weren’t worth it.

When leaving Bai Family Stronghold, Shangguan Yan’Er spent a lingering night with him.

Several times attempting to speak, stopping short each time.

Shen Xuan pretended not to notice.

He and Shangguan Yan’Er met by chance, finding some compatibility in certain aspects.

But it was no more than this.

Their relationship allowed both to take what they needed, owing each other nothing.

He never expected repayment for kindness.

Nor did he consider that Shangguan Yan’Er offered herself as exchange.

Their close contact stemmed merely from shared loneliness.

At parting.

Shangguan Yan’Er’s eyes glistened with tears.

Only then did Shen Xuan reveal his true identity.

He suggested that Shangguan Yan’Er relocate the Shangguan Clan near Qing Yun Immortal City.

The Shangguan Clan only had her as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator left.

Making it difficult to gain standing in the Celestial Fortune Commerce Association.

If relocated to Qing Yun Immortal City.

Shen Xuan was willing to intercede, allowing the clan to purchase a Tier Two Spiritual Land from within the Cyan Cloud Sect at a favorable price.

Shangguan Yan’Er pondered long and hard.

Deciding to return to her clan and discuss with the clan elders.

A letter arrived recently stating the clan elders reached a consensus to relocate near Qing Yun Immortal City.

They are handling the local clan’s properties, estimating they could gather five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

They request Shen Xuan to help with acquiring Tier Two Spiritual Land.

The Shangguan Clan, different from the Ding Family.

Originally a merchant family, skilled in business, with complete channels and talents.

Only requiring provision of security guarantees, they could thrive independently.

...

Shen Xuan’s thoughts returned to reality.

"The advancement of the True Ice Heart Technique to mastery will surely satisfy Master Cold Jade with my cultivation progress!"

"And that’s not all..."

Shen Xuan focused, forming the spell of Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation with his hand.

Suddenly, his body swelled to a height of two zhang.

Fangs protruded, his visage ferocious.

"Ice and Snow Cold Domain!"

The practice room, already icily cold.

The next moment.

The temperature dropped further.

Floating dust particles all solidified into ice grains, falling down with a rustle.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, greatly restricted in spiritual power and divine sense.

If not resisting actively, their flesh bodies could be invaded by the extreme cold ice intent, damaging organs and meridians.

With a casual point of his finger, Shen Xuan.

A dozen Extreme Cold Ice Blades leapt from his fingertips, glinting coldly.

Shen Xuan experimented a bit.

The power of Extreme Cold Ice Blade rivaled that of Dark Ice Fish.

However, condensing Dark Ice Fish required consuming considerable spiritual power.

The "Extreme Cold Ice Blade" almost doesn’t consume Spiritual Power, relying on the power of bloodline to be performed.

Shen Xuan was quite satisfied with this.

These two ice techniques are equivalent to spell attacks and physical attacks.

Each has its own merits.

Suitable for different combat scenarios.

Shen Xuan estimated.

His cultivation speed was only slightly slower than that of the Golden Core inheritors.

Not much different from other True Master’s disciples.

"However, the ’Divine Hidden Sea Technique’ I cultivate is an ancient technique, with healing and health benefits, so the cultivation speed is relatively slow."

"Now, incorporating the ’True Ice Heart Technique’ has slowed down the cultivation speed a bit."

"Fortunately, there are ’Water Spirit Absorption’ and ’Devouring All Things’, these two talent skills, enhancing the efficiency of absorbing Spiritual Qi, strengthening the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea."

Thinking this way, Shen Xuan’s cultivation speed was considered very fast.

His Water Spirit Root increased by one point after refining the Frost Snow Flood Dragon.

Spirit Root: Water 83/100

Ninety points, that’s an Immortal Spirit Root.

In the entire Cyan Cloud Sect, cultivators with Immortal Spirit Root talent are few and far between.

"So, the Spirit Root is no longer the main factor limiting my cultivation."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Wealth, companionship, method, and land, Shen Xuan currently lacked none.

The Thunder-Attracting Array provides him with Spirit Stones continuously.

Master Cold Jade treats him with great kindness, dispelling doubts and imparting knowledge.

His current cave mansion, Tier Two Top Grade, the Spiritual Energy Valve opened to maximum.

Enough for Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation’s needs.

The ’Divine Hidden Sea Technique’, ’True Ice Heart Technique’, ’Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique’, ’Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation’, and other cultivation techniques are all high-tier inheritances.

At this moment, after completely refining the Frost Snow Flood Dragon, the ’Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation’ advanced to the Seventh Transformation.

Equivalent to a Golden Body Middle Stage Body Refiner.

He possesses physical body skills such as ’Wishful Size’, ’Infinite Strength’, ’Sharp Teeth and Fangs’, ’Devouring All Things’.

When combined, it’s absolutely no problem to defeat the Earth Bear King within the Bai Family Stronghold’s beast tide in close combat.

That is a Tier Two Top Grade demon beast, just in terms of physical strength, it is the most powerful within the Bai Family Stronghold’s beast tide.

Even facing a Golden Body Realm Perfection Body Refiner, Nie Yong, Shen Xuan is very confident.

Especially ’Wishful Size’, after advancing to Mastery, the physical body reinforcement effect is even more apparent.

After performing the ’Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation’, originally two zhang in height.

It can actually increase by fifty percent, reaching three zhang.

Strength increased once again by thirty percent.

In this way, merely relying on physical body strength, Shen Xuan can threaten Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Among them, the cooperation of ’Sharp Teeth and Fangs’ and ’Devouring All Things’, can produce a chilling effect.

Not to mention the flesh body of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even an upper-grade magical treasure, Shen Xuan can now bite it to pieces, devouring and refining the magical treasure’s essence of Spiritual Power.

"Alas, I don’t know if training like this will cause me to fall into the Demon Dao!"

In the Bai Family Stronghold, the fear that the Howling Moon Fox brought him was too profound.

This gave Shen Xuan a sense of crisis.

Even if sweeping through the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As long as he hasn’t condensed the Inner Core.

It’s hard to escape from the hands of a Tier Three Demon King.

Escaping from the hands of the Demon Ancestor is even more difficult.

Now, the Daoist Sect, Demon Sect, and Demon Race maintain a delicate balance.

All adhere to the agreement that True Masters, Demon Ancestors, and Demon Kings must not act rashly.

But as soon as the situation changes even slightly.

Once the balance of power is broken.

This unwritten agreement will be overturned.

At that time.

No matter how strong the Foundation Establishment cultivator is.

In front of True Masters, Demon Ancestors, and Demon Kings, they are just slightly stronger ants.

Can be crushed at any time.

This is something Shen Xuan cannot tolerate.

"I still have to get stronger!"

After encountering the Howling Moon Fox, Shen Xuan changed his plan.

He no longer went to Ice Lake to hunt the Heaven-Reaching Water Rhinoceros.

That is deep within the Wilderness, close to the inner region.

There is a certain possibility of the presence of Tier Three Demon Kings nearby.

Although intelligence indicates a low probability of encountering a Tier Three Demon King.

Shen Xuan doesn’t want to take risks.

He first returned to the sect to completely refine the Frost Snow Flood Dragon and Thunder Beast Essence Blood.

As he expected.

Even though Thunder Beast Essence Blood is Tier Two Upper Grade, it cannot improve the quality of the Spirit Root anymore.

Raise ’Thunder God’s Fury’ to near Perfection.

The more than five thousand Dao Rhyme Points obtained were added to ’True Ice Heart Technique’ and ’Wishful Size’, allowing both to breakthrough into the Mastery stage.

Nowadays, Shen Xuan’s mastery of ice techniques has been accomplished.

The Profound Ice Spirit Lotus within continuously strengthens the foundation of the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword, refined by Master Cold Jade’s Elixir Core, is unstoppable and indestructible.

And there’s the ’River and Sea Map’, an upper-grade magical treasure that enhances the power of water techniques.

The Body Refining Technique has reached the Golden Body Realm Middle Stage.

Combined with various bloodline talent skills.

And nurturing two ’Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Treasure Talismans’ and one ’Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman’.

The Flying Talisman Array formed by the ’Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman’.

Thousands of Thunder Spirit Pearls.

Ice technique, body refining, treasure talisman, talisman array, Thunder Spirit Pearls.

Shen Xuan has five great defensive means at hand.

Plus the Thunder Escape Technique.

Shen Xuan estimates his combat power is enough to sweep through the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In the Foundation Establishment Realm, unless the opponent possesses a heaven-defying level magical treasure.

Otherwise, even Foundation Establishment Perfection is no match for him.

"Unfortunately, my realm cultivation is too low, only at the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, unable to contend with Fake Pill Masters."

Fake Pill Masters, life’s form essentially transcends the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The Inner Core has already materialized.

It’s just not very effective, unable to cultivate and perform divine powers, resulting in a broken Dao path.

Despite this, the strength of Fake Pill Masters far exceeds Foundation Establishment Perfection.

One versus ten may be slightly troublesome.

One against three to five is easy.

Worthy of the title ’True Master’.

Shen Xuan pondered silently in his heart.

With the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer cultivation, being able to simultaneously drive the River and Sea Map and Ice Soul Divine Sword, two magical treasures, is already remarkable.

These are upper-grade and middle-grade magical treasures.

But Shen Xuan is still not satisfied.

As a transmigrator lacking a sense of security.

Shen Xuan is always seeking ways to enhance his strength.

His mind focused on the Purple Gold True Water Seal.
