Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 370: Death Roll

White Crane Island.

Cave Mansion.

In the Practice Room.

Shen Xuan’s eyes slightly opened, slowly finishing his cultivation.

Several days ago, Patriarch Wei and Patriarch Lu had a fierce battle.

It ended with Patriarch Lu’s spirit beast, the invisible Demon Shark, getting hurt and poisoned.

On the surface.

Patriarch Wei seemed to have the upper hand.

But actually, it’s not the case.

Patriarch Wei used all his means, even unleashing the hidden third magical treasure, the penetrating poison spikes.

While Patriarch Lu still had an Upper Grade Flying Sword and an Upper Grade Spirit Shield, which he didn’t use.

Obviously, Patriarch Lu was just testing the waters.

He wasn’t planning to go down with the ship alongside Patriarch Wei.

The real concern for the Lu family remains Patriarch Wei’s ancestor, the Fake Pill True Master.

As long as Ancestor Wei falls.

The Lu family will surely mobilize all their forces to launch a counterattack on White Crane Island.

"Troubled times!"

Shen Xuan sighed lightly.

A golden light flashed between his brows.

On the jade table, a basin of fresh Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile Essence Blood suddenly began to reek.

Before him, the Mysterious Jade Talisman transformed into numerous small golden characters.

[Stealable Talents: Divine Dragon’s Suppression, Dragon Blood Boiling, Infinite Strength, Overturning Rivers and Seas, Biting Nails and Chewing Iron, Immune to Poison, Copper Bone Iron Armor, Death Roll, Stealth Disguise]

Shen Xuan looked at each one.

Many talent skills he already possessed and cultivated to above Great Success.

Like [Infinite Strength], [Overturning Rivers and Seas], [Immune to Poison], etc.

Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile was still able to show up.

This means the bloodline talents of Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile have decent quality, and can increase the corresponding talent skill proficiency.

However, for these flesh body skills, increasing proficiency is much faster than cultivation techniques or spells.

No need to waste Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile Essence Blood.

Excluding talents already possessed and those with similar functions.

Between [Divine Dragon’s Suppression] and [Death Roll], Shen Xuan eventually chose the latter.

[Talent: Death Roll (15/100)]

[Dao Rhyme: 5502]

Dao Rhyme approaching 500 points is quite impressive.

An increase of 15 points in proficiency at one time is fairly effective.

In his past life, Shen Xuan had seen videos of crocodiles using [Death Roll].

This special skill is a unique feeding method of crocodiles.

Fully utilizing the crocodile’s bodily structure, it instantly renders its prey immobile.

With extremely powerful bite force coupled with rapid spinning roll, it can tear and dismember the prey’s flesh, swiftly strangling and drowning it.

Shen Xuan’s [Sharp Teeth and Fangs] is nearly perfect.

Just right to pair with [Death Roll] in use.

Performing [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation], then stacking [Thousand Transformations], [Wishful Size], transforming into a five-zhang long Tiger-faced Flood Dragon.

[Death Roll] can greatly enhance the combat power of the flesh body.

In the deep sea, it can fully contend with a Fake Pill True Master.

A Fake Pill True Master has abundant spiritual power, and divine soul and divine sense far exceed Foundation Establishment Perfection.

But their physical strength does not reach the level of invincibility like a Golden Core True Master.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, after executing skills to transform, his flesh body strength far surpasses a Fake Pill True Master.

If in the deep sea.

Relying solely on the Tiger-faced Flood Dragon form, Shen Xuan can exhaust a Fake Pill True Master to death.

"Finally, some self-preservation ability!"

In Shen Xuan’s eyes, a trace of joy involuntarily emerged.

There’s no pure land in the Cultivation Realm.

Within the sect, hidden currents flow as well.

Shen Xuan doesn’t believe the Cyan Cloud Sect can protect him for a lifetime.

As the realm cultivation improves, the higher you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

The prodigies in the Qi Cultivation Realm, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the vast majority become just ordinary people.

Don’t mention Golden Core.

Even those who can form a Fake Pill are few and far between, one in a million.

This is the cruel aspect of the Cultivation Realm.

Even if your talent is extraordinary, if your family’s foundation isn’t strong, and cultivation resources are insufficient, it’s still difficult to advance.

Shen Xuan never relies his hopes on others.

Finding ways to constantly enhance his own strength is his fundamental way to stand in the Cultivation Realm.

"120 years old! The cultivation speed is getting slower!"

"After eight years, I can break through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment."

Ten years for a small checkpoint.

This speed, for cultivators of the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, is already very fast.

Only Shen Xuan.

With special talent skills like [Water Spirit Absorption], [Devouring All Things] increasing cultivation efficiency.

Other cultivators, if they could reach this speed, they would laugh awake even dreaming.

"Fortunately, I have ample lifespan, no need to rush."

Shen Xuan’s current lifespan is up to 258 years.

According to plan, when achieving Foundation Establishment Perfection, lifespan can reach 280 years.

It can be considered a long life.

Moreover, Shen Xuan is plotting for Wei’s family’s Divine Turtle Essence Blood.

One purpose is to enhance the [Longevity] talent skill effect.

According to the Tiger-faced Flood Dragon Essence Blood effect estimation.

Shen Xuan estimates at least extending lifespan to 300 years.

In this way, time is sufficient.

No need to take great risks to compete for cultivation spiritual objects.

With Talisman Dao and Alchemy Dao, two major cultivation skills, he can retreat to solitary cultivation.

Using high-tier talismans and spirit pills to exchange for high-tier cultivation resources.

Right now, there’s an extremely good opportunity.

"A Life-Extending Pill is worth a million Spirit Stones!"

This kind of special spirit pill, every Fake Pill True Master needs.

A solid investment, value increasing hard currency, will never depreciate.

Shen Xuan is saving Dao Rhyme Points to prepare for refining high-tier spirit pills in the future.

As long as he gains entry-level.

He can use Dao Rhyme Points to improve his skills.

Great Success, Perfection is hard.

But mastery, small success, is still very hopeful.

With the super high price of Tier Three Spirit Pills, even with a 30% pill success rate, huge profits can be made.

Not just Spirit Stones.

Many Tier Three spiritual objects only wish to barter.

"Actually, Life-Extending Pill has better effects for Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

Fake Pill True Master, extends lifespan by ten years.

Foundation Establishment Perfection, extends lifespan by fifteen years.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment, starts at twenty years! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Only, as high-end strategic resources.

Each major sect strictly controls.

The price is also high.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators to take it, the cost-performance ratio isn’t impressive.

The focus is still primarily on Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Pills, the Life Extension Pill.

One Life Extension Pill grants a Foundation Establishment cultivator an additional ten years of lifespan.

However, for Shen Xuan,

Both the Life Extension Pill and the Life-Extending Pill, he wants them all.

There’s no need to wait until the Fake Pill Realm.

What he condenses must be a True Pill.

By then, taking the Life-Extending Pill would greatly reduce its effectiveness.

It’s estimated to only extend lifespan by five or six years.

This is also why True Pill True Masters don’t care for the Life-Extending Pill.

It’s unnecessary.

Instead of spending a million spirit stones for those five or six extra years of life,

one might as well meditate to improve their realm and cultivation.

Advancing through each small bottleneck can increase lifespan by more than ten years.

The effect far surpasses the Life-Extending Pill.

Fake Pill True Masters, whose path to the Dao is cut off, can’t improve their realm and cultivation.

That’s why they are so obsessed with the Life-Extending Pill.

"If only I could refine the Life-Extending Pill..."

Shen Xuan pondered secretly.

Honestly, the Fake Pill True Masters’ obsession with the Life-Extending Pill exceeded Shen Xuan’s expectations.

The Lu Family on Azure Dragon Island bid one million two hundred thousand spirit stones to auction the Life-Extending Pill.

Suppressing the Wei Family of White Crane Island was just one aspect.

On the other hand, the Lu family’s patriarch could make good use of it.

"There is still time; watch and wait for the opportunity."

The pill formula, main ingredients, and auxiliary materials for the Life-Extending Pill are not easy to gather.

According to the information provided by Celestial Fragrance Pavilion,

The Wei Family’s patriarch has only thirty years of lifespan remaining.

Of course, this information is just an estimate.

If the patriarch engages in magical combat and exhausts his essence, he will inevitably lose some lifespan.

If he damages his inner core, it will further accelerate the decline of bodily functions.

It could even mean he won’t last another year or two.

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Should the patriarch of the Wei Family be seriously injured or even perish,

It wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for him.

As long as he stays on White Crane Island,

He will definitely be the first to seize the Divine Turtle Essence Blood.

"Below the True Master, I am number one; with a Fake Pill True Master, it’s an equal exchange."

Shen Xuan secretly jested to himself.

"If the Wei Family can provide the pill formula and materials for the Life-Extending Pill, I can give it a try."

The principles of Water Technique Refining and Fire Technique Refining are similar, but the paths are different.

Relatively, Water Technique Refining is more cumbersome.

But it demands less on the pill master’s spiritual power and divine soul.

With Shen Xuan’s spiritual power, divine soul, and divine sense comparable to Foundation Establishment Perfection,

Spending more time and effort,

and improving skill with Dao Rhyme Points,

He can still refine the Life-Extending Pill.

The Wei Family’s patriarch has only thirty years of lifespan left.

Surely, the Wei Family will think of ways to continue acquiring the Life-Extending Pill.

Shen Xuan just needs to wait for the right opportunity.

He has ample lifespan and plenty of patience.

This is the advantage of having a long lifespan.

Progress steadily in cultivation, with no need to rush.

Avoid risking one’s life to compete for resources as far as possible.

...

In the alchemy room.

"Pill Master Shen, could you guide Yating in refining the Essence Nourishing Pill?"

Wei Yating was ready with all the ingredients, eager to proceed.

Beside her, Qing Feng and Ming Yue looked envious.

Their older cousin was only twenty,

And she already had the opportunity to independently refine a Tier One Middle Grade Spirit Pill.

They didn’t know when their turn would come!

Shen Xuan looked at Wei Yating with a calm expression.

"Yating is attempting the Essence Nourishing Pill for the first time; previously, she has only refined the Qi Nourishing Pill of the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation."

"Try it once for me to see."

"Alright!"

Wei Yating pursed her rosy lips, her pretty face serious, and started to cast spells.

She began refining the Essence Nourishing Pill with her newly bought small pill furnace, following the steps of Water Technique Refining, step by step.

Two hours later,

As expected,

When Wei Yating reached the final stage of pill consolidation, the spirit pill liquid’s form and spirit both dispersed, all wasted.

She felt a bit embarrassed.

The previous nine steps had been performed quite well.

She had thought she could at least refine one or two ordinary Essence Nourishing Pills,

And hoped to display her alchemic talent before Pill Master Shen, attracting his attention.

Who would have thought it would end like this?

"Pill Master Shen, I didn’t do well this time; let me try again!"

Wei Yating said softly, her face red.

"Hold on!"

Shen Xuan looked at Wei Yating with some surprise.

Distillation, soaking, sealing, boiling, simmering, nurturing, fermenting, dropping, pouring, soaking.

She didn’t make a mistake with the ten procedures.

To perform this well on a first try is indeed commendable.

The failure wasn’t due to alchemy techniques.

Rather, it was because Wei Yating’s spiritual power was impure.

"Are you cultivating the ancestral technique of Cang Ming True Master from White Crane Island?"

Cang Ming True Master was the True Pill True Master from the Wei Family a thousand years ago.

He was also the one who established the foundation of the Wei Family on White Crane Island.

"To answer Pill Master Shen, Yating is cultivating the ancestral Cang Ming True Water Technique."

Wei Yating replied obediently.

Inside, she wondered whether she should show the Cang Ming True Water Technique if Pill Master Shen wanted to see it.

According to the Wei Family’s rules, the Cang Ming True Water Technique is the foundational cultivation technique and cannot be transmitted externally.

Wei Yating only has the Qi Cultivation Chapter.

In theory, it’s not significant enough to make a noteworthy contribution.

But it also cannot be transmitted privately.

"What is passed down from Cang Ming True Master must not be bad. But you’ve taken too many Qi Nourishing Pills?"

Shen Xuan’s words made Wei Yating tremble all over.

"Ah! I didn’t take too many. One Qi Nourishing Pill every five days—everyone does it this way?"
