Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 430: Reincarnation Spirit Mirror

"Junior Sister Qin, has entered the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror!"

Lv Zhengying hurriedly reported.

The Reincarnation Treasure Mirror is the Cyan Cloud Sect’s cornerstone Spiritual Treasure.

Disciples of the sect who are attempting to break through to Core Formation can apply to enter the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror with the permission of a True Master.

Inside, it’s rolling red dust, the worldly Mortal World.

With the help of the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror, a disciple can attach a strand of Divine Thought to a mortal, experiencing the aura of the red dust, tempering their Mental Realm, and consolidating their Dao Heart.

"She left a letter for me to pass to you."

Shen Xuan received the Jade Scroll, opened it, and scanned it with his Divine Sense. After reading, he casually destroyed it.

Since the last farewell, Qin Yuehan had resolved to focus on cultivation and strive for Core Formation.

Shen Xuan made it very clear to her.

He did not wish to be burdened by romantic emotions, focusing solely on forming a Core.

Qin Yuehan’s talent was average among the True Master’s direct disciples.

Although she was a direct disciple of True Master Gu Feng, she did not receive focused support within the sect, making it difficult to stand out.

Moreover, she inherited the fine tradition of the Gu Feng lineage.

Not proficient in any of the hundred cultivation arts.

If not for her background as a member of the Song Country royal family, Qin Yuehan could only ensure the most basic cultivation resources.

"Junior Sister Qin is determined to form a Core."

Shen Xuan looked at Lv Zhengying and said with a smile.

They were all smart people; many things didn’t need to be stated explicitly.

Lv Zhengying couldn’t possibly be unaware of Qin Yuehan’s feelings for him.

Shen Xuan’s status had undergone a tremendous change compared to before.

Lv Zhengying had long decided to hold tightly onto Shen Xuan’s leg.

No matter what happened, he would choose to side with Shen Xuan.

His current position, being valued at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall by True Master Tong Xuan, was all because of Shen Xuan.

Actually, Shen Xuan’s heart wasn’t much stirred.

Qin Yuehan had shown him kindness.

He also made efforts to repay her.

He accompanied Qin Yuehan to the Wilderness at Luoxia Lake, helping her solidify her Cyan Wood Spirit Body.

Planned the retaliation against Lei Yaoyang, who coveted her beauty, turning him into a cripple, wishing for death over life.

Gifted her his cherished Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman, originally his most powerful killer move.

Among the entire sect, Shen Xuan only truly trusted two people.

One was his master, True Master Cold Jade.

The other was Qin Yuehan.

Everyone else was just mutual exploitation.

Even Lv Zhengying in front of him.

When truly faced with life and death, or if the other side produced a sufficiently weighted offer.

Lv Zhengying might betray and sell him out.

It’s human nature.

Shen Xuan never held high expectations of human nature.

What he couldn’t do himself.

He wouldn’t demand of others.

His relationship with Qin Yuehan was close and trusting.

But he couldn’t entangle their fates together.

For him.

On the path to prove and attain the Dao, all friends and family were merely passing travelers.

Is it selfish?

Indeed, a bit.

But who dares claim they’re not selfish?

Those Core Formation True Masters and even Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

None were compassionate or softhearted.

The truly kind and benevolent rarely ascended to high positions in the Cultivation Realm.

Shen Xuan pondered: "When she comes out, she’ll be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

Qin Yuehan established her Foundation when she was just over forty.

Now, eighty years had passed.

Qin Yuehan was a direct disciple of a True Master, a descendant of the Song Country royal family, lacking nothing in resources, companions, techniques, or land.

Stuck at the bottleneck of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment for a long time.

The main problem was her Dao Heart wasn’t steadfast enough.

If Qin Yuehan didn’t seize the time to rectify this shortcoming.

As years passed and her body functions declined, it would be impossible to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in her lifetime.

The time to external ratio in the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror is approximately ten to one.

Under Qin Yuehan’s conditions, if smooth, she could emerge from the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror in seven or eight years.

Then she could break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Calculating this way, Qin Yuehan’s cultivation speed was similar to his own.

Lv Zhengying said, "By the way, Senior Brother Shen, people from the Qin family have arrived."

"Qin family?"

Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

"The Qin family is the top family of the Profound Celestial Sect, one of the two True Monarchs of the sect is from the Qin family."

Lv Zhengying explained.

"I know."

Shen Xuan replied.

For this reason, the Qin family became the royal family of Song Country.

"Junior Sister Qin was originally an unvalued Commandery Princess of the royal family, and the Qin family didn’t particularly focus on her, so she joined the Cyan Cloud Sect."

Lv Zhengying whispered, "But recently, for some unknown reason, the Qin family has started to value Junior Sister Qin."

"The current visitor is a respected clan elder of the Qin family, Fake Pill True Master Qin Zhigang."

"True Master Tong Xuan personally received him and specially informed me."

Lv Zhengying did not continue.

Shen Xuan nodded.

True Master Tong Xuan informing Lv Zhengying meant for him to pass on the message.

"I know. Junior Sister Qin mentioned it in her letter. No need to pay it any mind."

Qin Yuehan entered the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror not only to temper her Mental Realm but also to avoid Qin Zhigang.

In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Yuehan’s chances of achieving Core Formation were slim.

As a female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm, her greatest role was for a marital alliance.

Previously, Qin Yuehan had declined several times.

This time, the Fake Pill True Master from the clan personally came to negotiate.

Qin Yuehan found it difficult to handle.

So she simply hid in the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror.

Shen Xuan waved his hand, as if brushing off imperceptible dust.

"By the way, how’s the acquisition of demon cores going?"

Lv Zhengying’s eyes brightened.

"Acquired seven, I’ve brought them all, all according to Senior Brother Shen’s specifications."

Shen Xuan glanced at them.

The seven demon cores all met the requirements for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

Two Water Attribute, two Wood Attribute, one Gold Attribute, one Earth Attribute, one Fire Attribute.

All were good quality Tier Two inferior grade demon cores.

"Continue the acquisition."

"Got it!"

Lv Zhengying immediately became spirited.

This meant Shen Xuan was beginning to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

In his understanding, Shen Xuan always proceeded carefully, never having failed before.

...

In the Alchemy Room.

Shen Xuan expressionlessly performed the spell to condense the pills.

The Spirit Medicine solution trembled, condensing into a mass.

Three bright and sparkling Spirit Pills instantly formed.

However, in the next moment.

The Dao patterns on the surface of the Spirit Pill fluctuated and then suddenly disintegrated and collapsed.

"Failed again!"

Next to him, Li Ruyi said with a face full of regret.

This was the fifth batch of failed pills.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is a Tier Two Tier-Breaking Spirit Pill.

In fact, its grade is not high. Except for the Life Fruit and the Tier Two Demon Core, the other materials used only need to be three hundred years old.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is expensive mainly because of its significant medicinal effects, which can assist a Qi Cultivation Cultivator in establishing a Dao Foundation.

Additionally, the Foundation Establishment Pill is also notoriously difficult to refine, with a low yield rate.

Shen Xuan glanced at the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

[Foundation Establishment Pill: Entry Level (5/100)]

Even if it failed, it still increased the skill points.

"Fellow Daoist Li, where do you think the major problem was with this batch of Spirit Pills?"

Li Ruyi didn’t hesitate and spoke freely.

In her opinion, Shen Xuan had no major issues in the aspects of transforming, dripping, sealing, boiling, simmering, nurturing, and brewing earlier.

The key still lay in the last four steps of pointing, pouring, soaking, and congealing.

Water Technique Refining and Fire Technique Refining share the same principles.

But in specific implementation, there are still many subtle differences.

Although Li Ruyi’s Alchemy Dao inheritance includes the method for refining the Water Technique Foundation Establishment Pill,

she had never refined it herself.

Many alchemical techniques, like the art of Lu Ban planing a wheel, can only be comprehended and not verbally transmitted.

Why is it so difficult for a Pill Master to break through and advance?

Like physicians in the previous life, Pill Masters need, besides inheritance and mentors, a lot of practical experience to achieve success.

Shen Xuan was not in a hurry to use Dao Rhyme points.

Instead, he focused on perfecting his foundational skills first.

Only then would the effect of Dao Rhyme points be more pronounced.

As for the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

One batch costs only twenty thousand Spirit Stones, and Shen Xuan could afford the loss.

After listening to Li Ruyi’s personal opinion.

Shen Xuan closed his eyes and carefully recalled the alchemy process just now.

After an incense stick’s worth of time.

When Shen Xuan opened his eyes.

The golden text on the Mysterious Jade Talisman had changed.

[Foundation Establishment Pill: Entry Level (6/100)]

"Not bad, Li Ruyi’s analysis was indeed useful."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

"Alright. Qing Feng, Ming Yue, tidy up. In three days, I will prepare another batch."

Shen Xuan tidied up the failed pill liquid of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was a rare nourishing product.

Human Race Cultivators cannot consume it but can use it to irrigate Purple Blood Ice Ganoderma.

An eight-hundred-year-old Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Plant.

If it could grow faster and reach a thousand years.

It would definitely become a superior Core Formation Spiritual Object.

Shen Xuan left the Demon Sect’s inheritance, pondering whether the secret technique inside could quickly mature it.

In fact, it doesn’t need to be much faster.

Three to four times faster will suffice.

Shen Xuan estimated that when he attacks Core Formation, it would take sixty years.

Back in the Cave Mansion.

"I heard that Ge Chengming of the Spirit Pill Hall succeeded in refining the Cold Jade Pill only on the seventh batch."

"Hmm, and I successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill on the sixth batch, that’s not excessive, right?"

After reviewing the alchemy process, Shen Xuan went to sleep early.

He felt no psychological burden about failing five batches of Foundation Establishment Pills.

...

The next morning.

After completing his daily cultivation.

Shen Xuan began the talent extraction on the last double-headed Flood Dragon Snake.

After a flash of golden light on the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

[Talent: Endless Life Entry Level (3/100)]

[Dao Rhyme: 75102]

[Spirit Root: Water 88/100]

The Water Spirit Root still showed no change.

This was expected.

The Tier Two Top Grade Water Demon Essence Blood was no longer able to improve the Spirit Root’s quality.

The Dao Rhyme increased by eight thousand points.

Shen Xuan silently operated [Endless Life].

"Oh!"

Shen Xuan clearly felt his body’s metabolism accelerate slightly.

Moreover, there was a kind of indescribable vigorous vitality within his body.

It was as if a new clear spring was born, subtle yet continuous.

Wherever it passed, life flourished and regrew.

As he expected.

[Endless Life] is indeed the life growth talent of the fierce beast Nine Infants.

When this talent is cultivated to a high level, its life force becomes extremely vigorous.

Could it even reverse aging?

At least, could the flesh body return to a youthful state?

Shen Xuan let out a long breath.

With this, he could reverse the process of physical aging.

Coupled with his lifespan comparable to a Fake Pill True Master.

He could meticulously refine himself after achieving Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Refining his Spiritual Power, Divine Soul, Divine Sense, and Flesh Body to a perfect state, and directly form a Supreme Golden Core!

Shen Xuan was in an excellent mood.

"In that case, it’s a double blessing!"

Shen Xuan gazed at the Mysterious Jade Talisman in front of him.

Silently adding points to the Foundation Establishment Pill skill.

In the beginning stages, one skill level point required ten points.

Just half of the Purifying Foundation Pill.

This also confirmed that the grade of the Foundation Establishment Pill is actually lower than the Purifying Foundation Pill.

Similarly, each time a stage is broken through, it doubles.

Entry Level, Skillful, Mastery, Small Success...

An hour later.

Shen Xuan finally digested the various techniques for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

All these are very subtle spell changes and Spiritual Power control.

Accumulatively, they have significant impacts on the alchemical results.

[Foundation Establishment Pill: Small Success (2/800)]

[Dao Rhyme: 52668]

The whole process only consumed over twenty thousand Dao Rhyme points.

Far less than the Purifying Foundation Pill.

"That’s enough. In the future, just relying on alchemy, I can progress to Great Success."

There are still over fifty thousand Dao Rhyme points left.

Moreover, Shen Xuan still holds a portion of the Biyi Water Gold-Eyed Beast Essence Blood.

This Tier Three Spirit Beast has a name widely known.

Its combat power may not be very strong.

But it carries the Divine Dragon Bloodline and Qilin Bloodline.

Among the Spirit Beasts Shen Xuan has encountered, it has the most concentrated True Spirit bloodline.

At this moment, he did not know.

At the True Master Council, they were discussing his official position.
