Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 385: Watching the Winds and Clouds with a Smile

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Watching the Winds and Clouds with a Smile

The next day.

Wei Yating missed the appointment and didn’t show up.

Instead, a steward from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion arrived for a special visit.

He brought a Jade Scroll encrypted by the Pavilion Master of Weihai Immortal City.

Upon receiving it, Shen Xuan scanned it with his Divine Sense.

It was a letter from Wan Meng.

She first expressed her apologies.

Pill Master Shen Changsheng transformed into a Flood Dragon, single-handedly killed Lu Zhanpeng, his brilliance was too dazzling.

The attention was too intense; she couldn’t suppress it.

In two days, Celestial Fragrance Pavilion will sell updated intelligence on Shen Changsheng.

The price is as high as fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Inside, it not only revealed Shen Xuan’s true identity.

But also details such as his achievement in Body Refining Great Success, Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman, Ice Technique Perfection, Water Technique Refining, etc.

To compensate for her apology, she gifted Shen Xuan two important pieces of information for free.

The first, the Lu Family on Azure Dragon Island initiated a family war with the support of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, aiming to occupy White Crane Island and establish it as a new base against Sea Demons.

This means that the war between the Wei and Lu families is more than just family grievances.

Behind it, there is strategic expansion intent from a major sect like the Beast Emperor Pavilion.

The second, the Wei Family on White Crane Island encountered operational issues with the Divine Sword Sect and got involved in sect leadership conflicts. A high-ranking member of Divine Sword Sect showed interest in the Divine Turtle Remains and Essence Blood left by Cang Ming True Master.

Rumors say the Golden Core Inheritor of Divine Sword Sect secretly set up a scheme, causing Wei Anxin to fail in reaching Core Formation, delaying medical treatment, leading to heavy injuries and death.

After reading,

The encrypted Jade Scroll automatically destroyed its contents.

"I understand."

"Send my regards to the Pavilion Master, the kind intentions are appreciated."

After sending off the steward from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

Wan Meng is the Saintess of Hehuan Sect, the Pavilion Master of Celestial Fragrance Pavilion in Weihai Immortal City.

Selling cultivator intelligence is her regular business.

Shen Xuan never had any expectations of Wan Meng.

"So this means, in three days, I must leave the East Mountain Sea Domain."

Shen Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.

Wan Meng has shown some consideration.

Giving him three days to handle matters here.

She even specially gifted two important pieces of intelligence, letting him know the truth behind the war between the Wei and Lu families.

They’re nothing but two chess pieces.

"Three days’ time is enough. Today, I will ask Wei Qingxin for the Divine Turtle Remains and leave freely."

Shen Xuan tidied up slightly, rode on his Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, and left the Cave Mansion.

Along the way.

The clan cultivators of the Wei Family looked at him with admiration, whispering among themselves.

"Is this Shen Pill Master? He looks quite young."

"Yes, they say Shen Pill Master is not yet a hundred years old."

"At the age of a hundred, in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he slayed a Fake Pill True Master! Such a character unexpectedly serves as a tributor in our Wei Family, truly extraordinary!"

"Incredible! The combat ability crosses a Great Realm, something never heard of before!"

"Indeed, I wonder where the Patriarch invited him from."

"Rumor has it that Shen Pill Master is deeply devoted to the Alchemy Dao, uninterested in the worldly matters, only wanting to refine pills. It’s laughable that the Lu Family has no eyes to see, and tried to kidnap Shen Pill Master, demanding a ransom of fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

"Yes, the Lu Family lacks virtuous governance, not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, they deserve this!"

"Ah, those two clan brothers are truly fortunate. It’s said they petitioned the patriarch for approval to officially change their names to Wei Qing Feng and Wei Ming Yue, to commemorate Shen Pill Master’s teachings."

"What do they count for! The old ancestor formally accepted Wei Yating as a Direct Disciple!"

Upon hearing this.

Shen Xuan understood, the old ancestor of the Wei Family is fully supporting Wei Yating, using the Alchemy Dao to rejuvenate the family.

This is a practical path.

On his way, upon seeing Shen Xuan, the Wei Family cultivators made way and saluted.

Private discussions were inevitable.

With faces full of respect.

At the gate of the Wei Family’s ancestor’s dojo.

The Patriarch personally welcomed him.

"Shen Pill Master, the ancestor knew you would come, and specially instructed me to greet you here."

His voice carried some excitement.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, you’re too courteous!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

The Patriarch laughed heartily and said, "This time the Wei Family won a great victory, thanks to Shen Pill Master’s righteous actions. The entire Wei Family is deeply grateful."

"No need! Shen simply fulfilled the transaction."

"Everyone gets what they need, no profit or loss."

Upon hearing this, the Patriarch awkwardly smiled.

Having witnessed Shen Pill Master’s astounding combat power, coupled with his exceptional Water Technique Alchemy Dao skills.

The Patriarch eagerly wished to invest everything to retain Shen Pill Master.

However, he also knew.

It’s impossible.

After Shen Pill Master receives the reward of the Divine Turtle Remains, he would certainly flee thousands of miles away.

If it were him, he would make the same decision.

Led by the Patriarch, Shen Xuan entered the dojo and met the old ancestor of the Wei Family, who had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Yating was serving beside.

After Shen Xuan saluted, he said, "True Master, I am about to leave the East Mountain Sea Domain."

The old ancestor of the Wei Family sighed deeply, showing a look of reluctance.

With a slight gesture.

From his waist Storage Pouch, a dozen strands of green light shot forth and flew to Shen Xuan. It was twelve pieces of Divine Turtle Remains.

Shen Xuan glanced at them, confirming there was no mistake.

He didn’t hold back, sent forth Spiritual Power, and gathered them all into the prepared Storage Pouch.

"The transaction is complete. I thank True Master for the support."

The old ancestor of the Wei Family solemnly said, "Shen Pill Master, whenever you have time, feel free to stop by White Crane Island and check on Yating’s progress in Alchemy Dao cultivation."

"Yes, Shen Pill Master, remember to visit often. Yating will surely expand your Alchemy Dao inheritance." The Patriarch added.

Shen Xuan glanced at Wei Yating.

In light azure attire, her complexion as flawless as jade, with a fresh aura akin to morning dew, clear and bright.

Yet, in those autumn-like bright eyes, there was a touch of sorrow.

Wei Yating hesitantly asked, "Shen Pill Master, will we meet again?"

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "We will."

"In the future, when Yating excels in Alchemy Dao, you should enlighten me too."

"It will happen!"

Wei Yating said firmly.

On her snow-like jade face, a captivating blush suddenly appeared.

With a hint of expectation, Wei Yating softly asked, "I am wondering, if I want to write to Shen Pill Master, where should I send it?"

A moment of silence.

The atmosphere seemed heavy.

Shen Xuan smiled.

Turned and walked out of the dojo.

Just as everyone in the Wei Family felt disappointed.

A gentlemanly, serene and calm middle-aged scholar entered the dojo.

All three from the Wei Family slightly froze.

"Shen Xuan of Cyan Cloud Sect, greets True Master Qingxin, Fellow Daoist Wei, Young Friend Yating."

Shen Xuan smiled and bowed.

"Shen Xuan, so your name is Shen Xuan!"

Wei Yating softly muttered to herself, almost like she was dreaming.

When she lifted her eyes to look at Shen Xuan again, her face was even more brightly flushed, with a hint of shyness.

Shen Xuan’s appearance at this moment bore some resemblance to Shen Changsheng.

However, his temperament was more outstanding.

Gentle and elegant, handsome and composed, mature and steady.

"Today, we part ways. Perhaps we will meet again in the future if fate allows!"

This time, Shen Xuan truly left.

He mounted the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, flew out of White Crane Island, and tread the waves over the sea.

Soon, both the man and the celestial horse disappeared from sight.

"Forefather, will he return?"

Wei Yating couldn’t help but ask.

"He will."

"As long as you succeed in the Alchemy Dao, he will surely come to see you."

Suddenly, Wei Yating’s eyes shone with a bright and unusual light.

"Forefather, Yating will definitely become a Tier Three Pill Master!"

...

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse spread its wings and flew along the sea, treading the waves all the way.

Shen Xuan closed his eyes, expanded his Divine Sense, and [Insight] into the surroundings, exploring all directions.

With a steed, traveling is an entirely different experience.

It’s not only comfortable and pleasant.

The pressure on the Divine Soul is also much reduced.

In the past, whether it was the Gold Claw Sculpture or the Red-winged Snake.

All were Corpse Beasts.

Although capable of soaring clouds and mist.

They required him to allocate a portion of the Power of the Divine Soul to control them.

Unlike now.

At ease and leisurely, the body and Divine Soul both relaxed and free, in a good state.

"Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens."

At this moment, Shen Xuan just wanted to return to Cyan Cloud Sect as soon as possible.

Then, go into secluded cultivation.

Practice arduously for three or four years, aim to break through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, and then come out to seek fortuitous encounters.

"There should be no problem!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He had already fiercely defeated the Fake Pill True Master.

Even though it was a newly advanced Fake Pill and a clan cultivator.

Its strength was somewhat lacking.

But being able to leap over a Great Realm, achieving such a feat with the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and the perfection of Golden Body Realm is pretty rare.

However, when passing through an area shrouded in white mist.

Shen Xuan signaled the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse to stop.

Across him.

The white mist dissipated.

A white-clad, disheveled Sword Cultivator appeared in the void, his expression cold and proud, eyes like swords, staring at Shen Xuan.

At this moment.

The previously relaxed Shen Xuan had a sharp light flash in his eyes, meeting the gaze of the opposite Sword Cultivator.

It was as if Sword Qi was clashing.

Battle intent was thriving.

In the air, Spiritual Light vibrated intensely.

Shen Xuan slowly stood up, retrieving the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Across him.

The disheveled Sword Cultivator revealed a confident and proud smile.

"Divine Sword Sect, Nie Wuhen, meets Shen Pill Master."

"Cyan Cloud Sect, Shen Xuan, greets Fellow Daoist Nie."

The two stared at each other.

In Nie Wuhen’s eyes, it seemed like thousands of Sword Lights instantly reached.

Yet, a red light flashed in Shen Xuan’s eyes, with an extremely fierce and violent aura, faintly appearing.

As if a wild Demon Beast, with Infinite Strength, ready to tear everything apart at any moment.

Clearly.

The thing Shen Xuan most unwilling to happen, had appeared.

The Golden Core Inheritor from Divine Sword Sect was deliberately waiting for him here.

The purpose is simple.

It’s all about the Divine Turtle Remains he possesses.

Sect True Masters can’t make a move.

But their direct disciples can.

Even though Foundation Establishment Perfection is two minor realms higher than Shen Xuan.

"I heard Fellow Daoist Shen fiercely defeated the Fake Pill True Master of Lu Family."

"But Nie, being less talented, was excited upon hearing of your prowess, hoping Fellow Daoist Shen could enlighten me."

Upon hearing this.

Shen Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, must it be this way?"

"It must."

"There won’t be any stakes, right?"

"Of course, there are stakes."

Nie Wuhen justified confidently.

"As cultivators, we go against the heavens. Fellow Daoist Shen, how about using the Divine Turtle Remains on you as stakes?"

Shen Xuan sighed.

He knew it.

This would be the result.

What the higher-ups desire, the lower ones will follow.

The Golden Core True Master of Divine Sword Sect might not have paid much attention to the Divine Turtle Remains.

As long as he shows a little intent.

Numerous disciples of Divine Sword Sect will find ways to obtain it for him.

To win the favor of the Golden Core True Master.

Right or wrong, in the face of interest, holds no significance.

Shen Xuan’s eyes slightly concentrated, then he said to Nie Wuhen.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, what else can you offer for stakes?"

Nie Wuhen said proudly: "The Golden Steel Sword in Nie’s hand is a Top Grade Flying Sword, how about it?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"It’s not enough! Add more!"

Nie Wuhen’s face tensed, and he took out a piece of blue metal from his Storage Pouch.

"This is Blue Water Cold Gold, an Upper Grade Core Formation Spiritual Object."

Shen Xuan nodded.

"Alright!"

"Fellow Daoist Nie, let’s compete, using the Divine Turtle Remains, Golden Steel Sword, and Blue Water Cold Gold as stakes."

"Please!"
