Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 453: Late Stage of Foundation Establishment

Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Late Stage of Foundation Establishment

"Shen Lang, do I look good to you?"

Mu Ling’Er proudly straightened her delicate body, her curves graceful, like a budding flower, a mix of charm and brightness.

Since practicing the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method, Shen Xuan had refrained from indulgence for many years.

Previously, he only had Shangguan Wan’Er as his close companion.

After achieving Great Success in the Alchemy Dao, to prevent enemy attacks, Shen Xuan hadn’t left the sect.

It had been years since he last saw Shangguan Wan’Er.

He was a body-refining master in the Dharma Realm.

His flesh body extremely strong.

For ordinary female cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage, a light touch from him could shatter them into pieces.

Thus, although the Celestial Academy was wonderful and there were many fairies,

Shen Xuan never enjoyed a carefree moment.

Now, under Mu Ling’Er’s temptation,

a nameless fire surged high.

Shen Xuan gently embraced Mu Ling’Er,

gazed into her crystal-bright eyes, and softly kissed her tender cherry lips.

The scent of youth exuded an enticing fresh fragrance, making Shen Xuan’s blood race.

Outside the curtain, the rain pattered, the spring spirit waned.

In a dream, unaware of being a guest, indulging in fleeting joys.

...

The next day.

Morning.

Mu Ling’Er tiredly opened her eyes.

By her side, there was no one.

The air still carried the scent of last night’s intense battle.

Just as Mu Ling’Er was about to get up,

she felt a twinge of pain.

She was somewhat baffled.

Scenes of passion flashed in her mind.

Mu Ling’Er felt her face burning, tidied her hair, and took out a copper mirror magical artifact to look at her reflection.

Thankfully, she looked the same as before.

Yesterday’s experience wasn’t as wonderful as imagined.

It was entirely different from what books described.

When the moment came, Mu Ling’Er could only grit her teeth and endure,

until she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Mu Ling’Er lay silently on the bed, recovering her strength.

From start to finish, she and Shen Xuan tacitly did not mention forming a bond of marriage.

Mu Ling’Er came from a sect family, and marriage decisions were made by her family’s elders.

Shen Fei was just a loose cultivator of unknown origins.

Even with some talent and ability, he was still not seen by sect families.

The Mu family would not agree to her marrying Shen Fei.

Mu Ling’Er thought quietly.

At this moment, she did not know,

Shen Xuan would never marry again.

Even if the Mu family agreed, he wouldn’t be willing.

In this life, Shen Xuan just wanted to live freely and seek immortality.

Mu Ling’Er and he were merely a dewdrop relationship.

If it weren’t for Mu Ling’Er’s initiative, Shen Xuan would never have entangled with her.

...

Returning to the cave mansion.

Shen Xuan recalled last night’s intense battle.

Feeling at ease.

One cannot deny that sometimes, a vigorous exertion is beneficial for both body and mind.

Men and women, mutual consent.

It’s a common thing.

Relatively speaking.

Since Mu Ling’Er had no experience,

he restrained himself a lot,

and wasn’t completely satisfied.

"That’s why the saying about the bandit makes sense!"

Mu Ling’Er and his dewdrop relationship couldn’t exclude the reason of loneliness.

But her admiration was equally evident in her words and deeds.

"So, men and women alike, are driven by appearances!"

Shen Xuan mused silently.

Loneliness is hard to bear.

When meeting an excellent opposite gender, one can’t help but be attracted.

Men and women are the same.

As long as one is outstanding enough, there’s no worry about lacking in companions of the opposite gender.

...

In the days that followed, Spring Breeze Island remained calm.

Shen Xuan led a leisurely life.

Daily cultivation, talisman making, tempering his flesh body.

Occasionally, guiding Mu Ling’Er, making various movements.

At the beginning, Mu Ling’Er blushed, shyly preferring quit-and-pick behavior.

Later, once she let go, she dared to make any move.

The only thing she couldn’t understand was.

No matter how hard she tried.

The one who always ended up losing was her.

After yet another defeat.

Mu Ling’Er finally realized.

"Shen Lang, you dual cultivate in body refining!"

"You just realized now?"

Shen Xuan chuckled.

Indeed, even an array prodigy, exceptionally intelligent,

still lacked understanding in certain aspects.

"Ah!"

Mu Ling’Er’s cherry mouth opened and wouldn’t close.

"No wonder!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"No wonder what?"

Mu Ling’Er blushed.

"I’m not telling you!"

No wonder the books she read, the descriptions, didn’t match actual combat.

The Shen Lang before her turned out to be a body refiner.

"Wood overcomes water. I should have been overcoming him. Instead, I was thoroughly suppressed by him!"

Thinking of this, Mu Ling’Er felt she had lost big.

Gained no advantage.

Even her most precious asset was easily taken by Shen Lang.

The problem was.

She had initiated it herself.

"Shen Lang, you..."

"The benefits you promised Ling’Er?"

Shen Xuan smiled.

"You still want more?"

"If you dare to ask, I dare to give!"

Mu Ling’Er screamed, quickly dodging.

"No, that’s not what I meant!"

Yet, how could she escape!

Shen Xuan embraced her and laughed, saying, "Women say no, but actually mean yes!"

...

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

Shen Xuan finally completely devoured the Fake Pill.

The Eight-colored Lotus had gained another ink-green petal.

The jade-white petal’s attribute was ice.

Dark green lotus petal, its attribute seems to be life extension.

Shen Xuan’s lifespan increased once more.

[Lifespan: 136/330].

The Dao Foundation Spirit Sea becomes increasingly clear and profound.

"It’s time to break through!"

Sensing the loosening bottleneck.

Shen Xuan walked into the secret chamber, publicly declaring closed-door cultivation.

For him at this moment, breaking through the minor realm is extremely simple.

The Nine-colored Treasure Lotus blooms magnificently.

The Dao Foundation Spirit Sea inside, vast and majestic.

Divine soul and divine sense both reach Foundation Establishment Perfection.

The flesh body is comparable to a True Pill True Master.

It only took three days.

Shen Xuan smoothly broke through the bottleneck.

"136 years old, Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer!"

Shen Xuan slowly gathered his skills.

[Lifespan: 136/342].

The minor realm breakthrough increased lifespan by twelve years!

His internal Dao Foundation Spirit Sea expanded by over forty percent.

As he entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his divine soul and divine sense grew again.

Already not much inferior to a Fake Pill True Master.

And this is only Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

The Purple Gold True Water Seal nurtured for many years inside is becoming increasingly spiritual, gradually transforming towards a Spiritual Artifact.

While the three [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] treasure talismans have been nurtured for over thirty years.

Not to mention Fake Pill True Masters.

Even True Pill True Masters, hit up close, would not fare well.

"Now, my combat power surpasses a Fake Pill True Master by far. Even encountering a True Pill True Master, I can retreat with composure."

This is crucial.

Shen Xuan is a Tier Three Body Refining Master.

Strictly speaking, he and True Pill True Masters are of the same tier.

However, when it comes to fighting.

Tier Three Body Refining Masters are mostly not a match for True Pill True Masters.

Their flesh bodies cannot withstand the Magical Treasures and Divine Powers of True Pill True Masters.

Even Shen Xuan, with his Spirit Body dual cultivation, cannot compete with True Pill True Masters.

However, True Pill True Masters are not numerous.

Like the Cyan Cloud Sect, only eighteen True Pill True Masters exist.

Most True Masters roaming the outside world are Fake Pill True Masters.

True Pill True Masters usually have important duties in the sect, stationed inside, rarely making a move.

Originally, all factions had a tacit understanding that True Masters should not make moves casually.

After breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Some of Shen Xuan’s talent skills and techniques can lift realm cultivation restrictions and continue to advance.

The priority is [True Ice Heart Technique].

This is his primary technique for ice technique Core Formation.

Additionally, there’s the powerful [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique].

Previously, to prevent trouble with the Bishui Sect, Shen Xuan rarely used the [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique].

Nearly fifteen thousand Dao Rhymes have been used up.

[True Ice Heart Technique] and [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique] directly stepped into the stage of Great Success.

[Dao Rhyme: 882]

Looking at the remaining few hundred Dao Rhymes, Shen Xuan’s heart remains calm.

Combat power is his current priority.

So, he now has a slight power to contend against True Pill True Masters.

Even those with less potent Magical Treasures and Divine Powers.

As for Dao Rhyme Points, they can be accumulated slowly.

"It’s a pity I haven’t found that electric ray demon fish!"

The intelligence was correct.

Shen Xuan secretly infiltrated the water region identified in the intelligence.

Indeed, there was news of electric ray demon fish activity.

However, the electric ray demon fish’s active water range was vast.

Shen Xuan went several times but didn’t meet one.

This matter was not urgent.

Shen Xuan stopped and focused on cultivation.

"I have many talents. But if I want to comprehend a divine power from them, I must make choices."

True Pill True Masters typically can comprehend only one divine power.

If one can comprehend two or three divine powers, then they would be extraordinary.

"The first choice is [Devouring All Things]. If there’s a chance, [Thousand Transformations], [Wishful Size], [Infinite Strength], [Sharp Teeth and Fangs], etc., can all be tried."

The urgent task now is to enhance the combat power of body refining techniques, and find the follow-up techniques to [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation].

...

After Foundation Establishment, Shen Xuan again disguised his physical aura as Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.

Upon leaving seclusion.

Bai Xiaomeng handed over a letter.

Written by Mu Ling’Er.

Asking him to visit her cave mansion after leaving seclusion.

The Sea Dragon Girl came, currently staying there.

Shen Xuan hurried to Mu Ling’Er’s cave mansion.

"Shen Talisman Master, long time no see!"

The aura of the Sea Dragon Girl is purer than it was three years ago.

At this moment, after clasping her fists in salute to Shen Xuan, she showed a proud expression.

"Shen Talisman Master, see the ice talisman I made."

Shen Xuan took the ice talisman from the Sea Dragon Girl’s hand, scanned it with his divine sense, and chuckled.

"Not bad. The Dragon Girl is now a Tier Two inferior-grade Ice Technique Talisman Master!"

The three sat around the table.

Shen Xuan asked about intelligence on Song Country.

The Sea Dragon Girl took out a pile of intelligence jade scrolls.

"Shen Talisman Master, take a look yourself. I am too lazy to organize them."

"Alright! I’ll take them back and read them slowly."

After the pleasantries.

The Sea Dragon Girl informed Shen Xuan of a matter.

Her grandfather, the Sea Dragon King, took on a subordinate, likely someone who fought with Qiu Haoran.

"Late stage of Foundation Establishment, impressive combat power. Even grandfather praised his skills."

"Grandfather rarely praises anyone. From his words, this person might be able to condense a Fake Pill."

Shen Xuan asked about the attributes and characteristics of the technique.

"An Earth Cultivator, adept in Earth Escape Technique."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan has a clear idea.

This person must be Zhuang Xueqin.

Back then, in the Ganshui Secret Realm, only he survived among the three ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples.

Shen Xuan even went to investigate a bit.

Late stage of Foundation Establishment background.

Even with Foundation Establishment Perfection, obtaining a Golden Transformation Pill from Cyan Cloud Sect is challenging for those from a humble background.

Unaware of what happened, he defected from Cyan Cloud Sect and ended up here in the Starry Sea.

Shen Xuan didn’t reveal Zhuang Xueqin’s identity in front of the Sea Dragon Girl.

No need for that.

The Sea Dragon King has dominated the Starry Sea for two hundred years, becoming the leader of pirate cultivators.

He’s not a soft-hearted person.

If Zhuang Xueqin harbors ulterior motives, he will certainly meet his end at the Sea Dragon King’s hands.

Shen Xuan guided the Sea Dragon Girl in making ice talismans and wielding flying talisman ice arrays.

While leaving.

The Sea Dragon Girl whispered something in Mu Ling’Er’s ear.

Causing Mu Ling’Er to blush to the roots of her ears.

Neither of the two girls anticipated.

Although the Sea Dragon Girl spoke quietly.

The keen five senses of Shen Xuan heard it clearly.

"How about it, is Shen Fei impressive?"
