Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 338: Sect Competition (Subscription Request Deleted)

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Sect Competition (Subscription Request Deleted)

In the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land of Cold Jade Peak.

Master Cold Jade softly asked, "What grade of Water Demon Essence Blood do you want?"

"Tier Two Top Grade or above."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and added,

"Tier Three would be even better."

He hadn’t tried Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood yet.

In terms of enhancing Spirit Root talent, plundering bloodline talent skills, and acquiring Dao Rhyme, Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood would certainly be more effective.

"Hmm, I understand."

Seeing Shen Xuan’s expectant expression,

Master Cold Jade felt a bit embarrassed.

"I have no Water Demon Essence Blood."

Shen Xuan cautiously asked, "Can Master think of a way?"

"Disciple can trade with Tier Three Spirit Wood."

"Do you have Tier Three Spirit Wood? Let me see."

Shen Xuan took out six Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branches.

This was the most valuable cultivation spiritual object he possessed.

Shen Xuan used one to create a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman, leaving two as backups.

After all, in a few years, he could visit Luoxia Lake again and exchange with the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon using the River and Sea Map and the original Thousand Spiritual Formulas.

"Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branch, indeed a Tier Three Spirit Wood."

Master Cold Jade returned it to Shen Xuan.

"It’s very difficult to trade this for Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood."

"Even the senior brothers lack it and are unwilling to trade."

"I’ll see if I can obtain some Tier Two Top Grade Water Demon Essence Blood."

Shen Xuan bowed and said, "Disciple thanks Master."

He understood in his heart.

Actually, the Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branch was not valuable enough.

It wasn’t enough to exchange for Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood from a True Master.

Even if Master Cold Jade intervened, she could only get some Tier Two Water Demon Essence Blood.

It would still alleviate his urgent need.

Master Cold Jade pondered for a moment.

"Shen Xuan."

"Disciple is here."

"I remember something. In two months, the Sect will organize a small competition for Foundation Establishment disciples."

"Those with excellent rankings may receive rewards and exchange for cultivation spiritual objects from the Sect Treasure Vault."

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

"A Sect competition?"

Cyan Cloud Sect has over three hundred Foundation Establishment disciples; most are on the frontlines of the Daoist Demon Battlefield, assisting Core Formation Seeds in their trials.

Master Cold Jade explained, "Our Daoist Sect of Song Country and the Demon Sect of Liang Country will have a truce for a while."

Is that possible?

Shen Xuan understood.

Both Daoist and Demon sects need the Core Formation Seeds to return to assess their trial results.

From there, they select the best Core Formation Seeds for increased resource investment and focused training.

The Daoist-Demon war at the border of the two countries has been ongoing for over a decade.

It’s about time for the second half.

"The Sect’s small competition has been planned by the Sect Leader for years."

"The results of Foundation Establishment disciples in the competition are directly tied to each peak’s ranking."

"Cold Jade Peak only has Liu Bingyu as a direct disciple, so participation in the Sect competition wasn’t necessary."

Master Cold Jade looked at Shen Xuan with a smile.

"However, you had not yet become my disciple at that time."

"Now, things are different."

Shen Xuan asked, "Master wants me to participate in the Sect competition?"

"Exactly. Not only participate, but also achieve the best ranking."

Master Cold Jade’s eyes sparkled brightly.

She seemed to envision Shen Xuan’s moment of glory, dominating the competition, garnering praises and admiration from many senior brothers.

Shen Xuan was hesitant.

"Master, I’m only at the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer."

"How can I compete against the Sect’s Foundation Establishment Perfection Golden Core direct disciples!"

Compared to the so-called Sect competition, Shen Xuan was more concerned about his own cultivation.

He planned to break through to the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer within two years.

The Sect competition would last several months and waste his time.

"Don’t speak nonsense!"

"Am I not aware of your strength?"

"It’s enough to rival the Sect’s Foundation Establishment Perfection Golden Core direct disciples."

Master Cold Jade’s tone shifted.

"The Sect Treasure Vault certainly contains high-grade Demon Beast Essence Blood."

"If you perform well in the competition, you might even exchange for Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan immediately perked up.

Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood!

With his ability, he absolutely couldn’t hunt and obtain it.

Even if he wanted to trade, he didn’t have the means.

Master Cold Jade spoke clearly.

The Sect Masters themselves lack Tier Three Demon Beast Essence Blood.

"Considering the disciples’ realm cultivation differences, the Sect competition adopts a group competition format."

"Foundation Establishment Late Stage and Perfection are in the seed group."

"Foundation Establishment Early Stage and Middle Stage are in the preparatory group."

"With your ability, you can surely win the preparatory group without holding back."

"I hope you won’t disappoint my expectations and win the crown in one fell swoop."

With words said to this extent,

Shen Xuan quickly bowed and replied, "Master, rest assured."

"Disciple will do my best to win the top spot in the preparatory group competition."

Among the preparatory group, the highest realm cultivation is only the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer.

Winning the crown, for him, is not a difficult task.

It can bring honor to Master, earn rewards in high-grade cultivation spiritual objects, and make a tidy profit along the way.

Such a good thing, Shen Xuan would not let it pass by. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"The eighteen True Masters of the Cyan Cloud Sect also have competition and disagreements among themselves."

"The essence of power is resource allocation."

"It seems, Master Cold Jade’s position in the Sect isn’t as glamorous as it appears."

Shen Xuan knew in his heart.

Master Cold Jade had no aristocratic family background.

She came from a Loose Cultivator background.

Even if her combat strength is astonishing and comparable to a Golden Core,

it’s very difficult to grasp real power in Cyan Cloud Sect.

As it is,

the cultivation resources allocated to Master Cold Jade are not abundant.

And at the level of a Core Formation True Master,

without Sect tasks, they wouldn’t casually go out to hunt Demons and eliminate evils.

The cultivation resources distributed by the Sect are very important to all True Masters.

Furthermore, the True Masters are often proficient in more than one cultivation technique.

Master Cold Jade, like him, is skilled in talisman making.

Occasionally, Master Cold Jade would craft some Tier Three Ice Talismans for external trade and sale to supplement the needs of cultivation.

Only a scion of an aristocratic family like Master Gu Feng can solely focus on cultivation without any particular skills, advancing all the way to the Core Formation Realm.

Then rely on the sect’s distribution of resources to get by, living off the land.

Little Gu Feng’s general affairs have incurred countless debts.

The sect competition.

It seems to test the Foundation Establishment disciples’ cultivation achievements.

But in reality, it assesses the effectiveness of the True Masters in cultivating their direct disciples.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples find it hard to achieve a good rank, merely serving as a backdrop.

Shen Xuan never cared about the vain reputation of standing out.

But if there is Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood, it’s a different story.

Such rare cultivation spiritual objects, even if there’s the slightest possibility, Shen Xuan would strive to obtain them.

Otherwise, who knows how long he would have to wait before having a chance.

Moreover, he could honor his master and secure benefits for Cold Jade Peak.

It’s just a small matter done in passing.

Seeing Shen Xuan agree to participate in the sect competition and promise to win first place,

Master Cold Jade nodded in satisfaction.

"The sect competition is organized by the Law Enforcement Hall. For specific rules, go check with the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Prepare well, do not disappoint me."

...

"In the first sect competition, according to the rules, every participating Foundation Establishment disciple will receive a final ranking."

"The ten disciples with the best results in the two group competitions can enter the Sect Treasure Vault to exchange for a high-tier spiritual object or cultivation technique. The top hundred in each group will be rewarded!"

So many people being rewarded?

Shen Xuan was slightly surprised as he looked at the sect competition rules.

The entire Cyan Cloud Sect had only a little over three hundred Foundation Establishment disciples.

Even if all apply, the reward scope exceeds fifty percent.

Especially in the Core Formation Seed Group.

There are just over a hundred in the late-stage Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment Perfection combined.

Almost everyone gets a share.

Looking at the reward items again.

No specific list was provided.

Exchange them from the Sect Treasure Vault according to competition points.

"Points must not be privately transferred."

"The one with the highest points can exchange for a Tier Three spiritual object or Core Formation Technique inheritance."

Upon seeing this statement, Shen Xuan’s mood became excited.

He already had the Core Formation Technique inheritance, which he need not care about.

Does the Tier Three spiritual object include Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood?

Master Cold Jade’s roots weren’t deep enough in the sect to inquire.

But Master Gu Feng could!

Master Lingxiao of the Law Enforcement Hall had a particularly favorable attitude towards Master Gu Feng!

After pondering for a while, Shen Xuan could not contain his excitement.

He directly went to visit Master Gu Feng in Little Gu Feng.

He asked her to help inquire about the rewards for the sect competition.

"You want to represent Cold Jade Peak in the sect competition?"

"Junior Sister Cold Jade is quite the strategist!"

Regarding Master Cold Jade’s request, Master Gu Feng was always somewhat dissatisfied.

There was inevitably a trace of acerbity in her words.

"Master, this matter is of utmost importance to this disciple!"

Shen Xuan bowed and said respectfully.

"Rest assured! Such a minor matter, I will handle it for you!"

"You wait a moment in the cave mansion; I will be back shortly!"

Master Gu Feng transformed into a seven-colored divine light, flying away from the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Watching Master Gu Feng’s figure disappear,

Gu Jinqin, standing by, approached with a smile.

"Senior Brother, you want to participate in the sect competition?"

"Yes, is Junior Sister Gu also participating?"

"Of course. There are rewards after all!"

Gu Jinqin lowered her voice.

"Senior Brother, let’s go find Xu Shaopeng of the Purple Qi Alliance and shake things up."

"Isn’t that inappropriate?"

Shen Xuan feigned hesitation.

Even though this was originally part of his plan.

Having Gu Jinqin, a disciple from a sect aristocratic family, take the lead is much better than him stepping up.

If something goes wrong, these sect aristocratic family disciples will bear the brunt.

"What’s inappropriate about it!"

"Tell me, Senior Brother, how confident are you in winning the first place?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"This is a serious matter; let’s discuss it in detail when we return."

"Alright!"

Gu Jinqin knew it wasn’t appropriate to discuss the matter at this moment.

Previously, Little Gu Feng’s general affairs were in deficit.

Her master, Master Gu Feng, turned a blind eye, letting her act wildly.

Now, Little Gu Feng has a reputation and abundant financial resources.

Gu Jinqin, who manages Little Gu Feng’s general affairs, has become the focus of many attentions.

Gu Jinqin found it difficult to act recklessly instead.

Before long,

Master Gu Feng returned to the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

A Jade Scroll listing reward spiritual objects was in her hands.

"Brother Lingxiao instructed that it must not be disclosed."

"Take a look first. I’ll have to return it to Brother Lingxiao later!"

Shen Xuan swept it with his Divine Sense.

Purifying Foundation Pill: Continuous consumption can enhance Dao Foundation quality.

Myriad Miles Golden Light Talisman: With a flash of golden light, it teleports across myriad miles.

Seven Extremes Thunder Killing Array: Summons the divine thunder of heaven and earth, capable of killing a Fake Pill Master.

Enlightenment Pill: Enters a state of enlightenment, perceiving the evolution of the Great Dao in the heavens and earth, enhancing comprehension.

Snow Lotus Spirit Tea: Can enhance Spirit Root talent, with specific effects varying between individuals.

...

So many treasures!

Seeing the sect competition’s reward spiritual objects, Shen Xuan couldn’t help but feel amazed.

These cultivation spiritual objects are rarely open for exchange.

Even with sect contribution points, one cannot exchange for them.

The lowest grade ones are Tier Two Top Grade.

Shen Xuan continued to scan with his Divine Sense.

Soon, he found his desired target.

Tiger-faced Flood Dragon Essence Blood: A Tier Three Water Attribute Demon Beast, rumored to be the descendant of the ancient Divine Beast, the Tiger-faced Flood Dragon.
