Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 491: Attending the Banquet Alone

"Alright. Go rest."

Shen Xuan waved his hand, signaling Leng Qingshuang to move aside.

Healing Leng Qingshuang was, to him, a trivial matter.

Having expended some Dao Foundation Origin, with the support of "Endless Life" and "Self-Healing," he could recover in two or three days.

It could be considered repaying a small favor to True Master Fiery Sun.

This was something that only he could accomplish.

Though True Master Fiery Sun was powerful, his Fiery Sun Spiritual Power had no healing effect.

Leng Qingshuang couldn’t endure it.

At this moment, for Leng Qingshuang,

it was as if she was reborn.

"Senior Brother, I..."

Now, when Leng Qingshuang operated her cultivation technique, she no longer felt any stagnation.

Gently touching her chest, for the first time in fifty years, she sensed her heart beating steadily and powerfully.

Leng Qingshuang immediately knelt down: "Fellow Daoist, your great kindness and virtue, Qingshuang will never forget..."

"No need to say more."

Shen Xuan brushed his sleeve, lifting Leng Qingshuang up.

"Ye Tieyi."

"Here."

"Do you know who I am?"

Ye Tieyi slowly said, "I can only guess."

"There’s no harm in speaking."

"Just now, the armor worn by Fellow Daoist is a treasure of my master. My master once told me he had traded the armor to someone. That person is..."

"Stop!"

Shen Xuan laughed: "As long as you know. Report the matter truthfully to your master. One day, when the opportunity arises, I will personally visit True Master Fiery Sun."

"Yes."

Ye Tieyi cupped his hands and said.

Shen Xuan began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.

After treating Leng Qingshuang, it would be good to make requests when meeting True Master Fiery Sun later.

The Golden Sun Sect is the top sect in Song Country, second only to the Profound Celestial Sect.

The sect’s fire technique inheritance, "Nine Revolutions Fiery Sun Technique," is extraordinary, which suits Shen Xuan’s intentions.

After he condenses the Golden Core, he plans to also cultivate fire techniques.

The first choice is this "Nine Revolutions Fiery Sun Technique."

Currently, it only includes the Qi Cultivation Chapter.

Entry level is sufficient.

If possible, he aims to condense a second Golden Core.

With the integration of water and fire, the two large Golden Cores greatly increase his chances of forming a Nascent Soul.

In the True Master realm, he would possess extraordinary combat strength.

However, this is a plan for the future.

Currently, Shen Xuan’s urgent task is to assist Qin Yuehan in reshaping her Spirit Body.

He plans to return to Spring Wind Island in the Sea of Stars in Yan Country, clean up the cave mansion, and bring Chen Huixue back to the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Originally, he planned to return to the sect after condensing the Golden Core.

Now, the situation has changed.

The sect war between Yan and Song Country has escalated to involve Fake Pill True Masters.

It may very likely develop into a true sect extermination or even national extermination war.

He was originally a Song Country cultivator, residing in seclusion in Yan Country, which greatly increased the danger.

The matter of killing True Master Zhan Yue will eventually become known.

In contrast, within the Cyan Cloud Sect,

his actions have not been defined as sec-betrayal.

This provides room for remedy.

At this time, he is already a Tier Three Body Refining Master.

Associated with True Masters as peers.

His actual combat strength surpasses ordinary True Masters.

His master, True Master Cold Jade, True Master Gu Feng, and his good friend True Master Ling Xiao, belong to the faction of Sect Leader Mysterious Trace True Master.

Mysterious Trace True Master will surely protect him because of his two masters and True Master Ling Xiao.

On the opposing side, though the Spirit Sword True Master’s faction is strong,

it suffers from a fatal flaw.

It lacks the support of the Supreme Elder, True Monarch Qing Yun.

No matter how many minor actions are taken below,

it is difficult to accomplish anything without the support of the highest echelon.

No matter how strong the Spirit Sword True Master is, he cannot act against a fellow True Master-level cultivator without sect authorization.

In fact, given Shen Xuan’s current combat strength, only a few Golden Core True Masters in the Cyan Cloud Sect are threats to him.

Celestial Thunder True Master is not counted among them.

"I will first return to my master and observe the situation quietly."

Shen Xuan made up his mind,

using the half piece of Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core and a complete piece of Flood Dragon reverse scale in his possession, he propelled "Dragon Blood Boiling" to perfection and pushed body refining to its limit.

In the short term, without enough Tier Three True Spirit descendant Demon Core Essence Blood, it will be hard to further advance the Body Refining Technique.

The sect war between Song and Yan Countries not only allows him to earn a lot of battle achievements, exchange them for the Golden Transformation Pill,

but also helps him acquire some True Master’s Inner Cores.

These can speed up his cultivation, reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection sooner, and then striving for Core Formation.

Two days later.

Qin Yuehan successfully completed the Spiritual Qi baptism and Spirit Body reshaping.

Shen Xuan glanced over.

The Upper Grade Dao Foundation, Cyan Wood Spirit Body was now more consolidated by thirty percent.

Spirit Root Talent should have improved somewhat.

As a result, Qin Yuehan’s chances of condensing a Fake Pill increased greatly.

Shen Xuan withdrew the Nine Netherworld Concealing Array and left with Qin Yuehan.

In an isolated place, Shen Xuan summoned the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, and the two of them mounted it.

They flew through the sky, spreading their wings.

In the depths of the firmament, clouds surged gloriously.

Qin Yuehan was seated in front of Shen Xuan, her back pressed against his chest, her long hair brushed against Shen Xuan’s face with the wind, causing a slight tickling sensation.

The two of them were extremely close.

Qin Yuehan could clearly feel the temperature emanating from behind her, an incredibly vigorous life force, as if a furnace, dispelling the coldness on her body.

Qin Yuehan closed her clear eyes, and her mind roamed free.

A subtle blush appeared at the root of her ears.

Shen Xuan did not overthink it.

The scent of fragrance and softness in his arms, his eyes remained fixed on the road ahead.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse flew smoothly, without the slightest bump.

Qin Yuehan gently stretched her back, leaning against Shen Xuan’s chest.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, her body inexplicably relaxed.

For some reason,

she felt an unprecedented warmth and comfort.

A heart that had been tense was entirely released.

Over ten days later, they reached the border of Song Country.

Shen Xuan found a desolate mountain area without people and landed.

"We’ve arrived."

The affectionate voice sounded in her ear.

Qin Yuehan awoke as if from a dream.

Her back stiffened slightly.

At this moment, she just realized that these past ten days, she had been leaning in Shen Xuan’s embrace.

Between the two of them, there was only a thin layer of clothing.

"Commandery Princess, return to the sect first and inform Master Gu Feng and Master Cold Jade. I have some matters to attend to; I’ll return to the sect once they’re handled."

"Alright. Be careful, senior brother."

"I know. Cultivate diligently and strive to condense your Inner Core soon."

"Yuehan understands."

The two exchanged a glance.

Qin Yuehan’s eyes were full of tenderness, tinged with a hint of shyness.

Shen Xuan feigned ignorance and resolutely turned to leave.

...

He had matters weighing on his mind.

Shen Xuan took only ten days to return to the Star Ocean of Yan Country.

"I am a cultivator from Song Country; it’s better to leave as soon as possible."

Shen Xuan entered Spring Breeze Island and returned to his cave mansion.

He first collected the array flags of the three sets of arrays in the cave mansion.

Then, he informed Bai Xiaomeng about his departure.

Allowing her to choose whether to follow him.

Bai Xiaomeng immediately knelt.

Willing to follow Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan naturally had no objections.

He took out the Jade Spirit Clam.

Instructing it to open its shell to carry Bai Xiaomeng inside.

The Jade Spirit Clam was at Tier Two Middle Stage.

Having been raised for many years, it already had intelligence and happily complied.

Shen Xuan tied the Jade Spirit Clam onto the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse.

Afterward, he headed to Chen Huixue’s cave mansion.

Only to find it empty.

Chen Huixue’s close maid, Xiaocui, informed Shen Xuan.

The lady was summoned back to the Divine Dragon Island by the Chen Family.

Rumor had it, a distinguished guest had arrived on the island.

Shen Xuan’s heart tightened.

He instructed the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse to carry the Jade Spirit Clam to Blood Conch Island to hide.

He went alone to Divine Dragon Island.

Seeing Shen Xuan arrive surprised the Chen family cultivators guarding the island.

"Talisman Master Shen has returned?"

"I have returned. I heard there’s a distinguished guest on the island; who is it?"

"The True Master of True Intent Sect has arrived and is being hosted at a banquet. True Master Lu of White Cloud Immortal City, Sea Dragon King of Dragon King Island, Sea Stablizer King of Chaotic Stone Sea, Chang Sheng Ship Master of Fairy Archipelago, all are present."

"The Ancestor instructed that if Talisman Master Shen arrives, we should inform truthfully. Should I report this to them?"

Evidently, the Ancestor of the Chen family hoped for him to create havoc.

Shen Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need, I’ll go by myself."

Soon, Shen Xuan arrived at the Chen family’s territory, revealed his Chen family Honored Guest identity jade token, and walked into the banquet hall directly.

At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, and everyone was in high spirits.

A few Foundation Establishment Realm clan elders of the Chen Family were hosting two disciples from True Intent Sect.

Between the clinking glasses, Chen Huixue sat quietly at the lower seat, with her wine cup untouched, eyes unconsciously wandering.

Seemingly expecting something.

One of the taller and thinner disciples from True Intent Sect picked up his wine glass, smilingly poured wine, clinked glasses gently with Chen Huixue, signaling her to join in a toast.

Chen Huixue remained cold as ice, not moving a bit.

"Junior sister, what is the meaning of this!"

Boosted by alcohol, the taller and thinner disciple shouted angrily, "Not yet at Entry Level, but already disrespecting seniors. Does your Chen Family despise True Intent Sect or my master?"

With these words, the noisy banquet instantly quieted down.

A clan elder from the Chen Family sighed lightly and explained with a smile, "Miss Huixue never drinks. Fellow Daoist Gu, please understand."

This was Gu Liuyun, born into an aristocratic family of True Intent Sect, middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the favored direct disciple of the True Master.

Gu Liuyun glanced askance at the Chen family elder.

"Never drinks, so what?"

"She has no sense of etiquette; how will she follow my master in cultivation and achieve true fruition!"

Gu Liuyun coldly looked at Chen Huixue.

"Why, junior sister, won’t you even give your senior brother this face?"

Chen Huixue lifted her gaze and said in a deep voice, "You are not my senior brother."

"Good for nothing!"

Gu Liuyun raised his hand, sending a palm strike into the air.

Beside him, the burly disciple urgently spoke up, "Junior Brother Gu, don’t!"

This person was Zhu Wan’an, the direct disciple of the True Master, who had assessed Chen Huixue previously.

However, he hesitated, only voicing out without physically stopping Gu Liuyun.

It was just an intangible slap, a minor reprimand, nothing significant.

The clan elders of the Chen Family exchanged uneasy glances, not daring to intervene.

Seeing Gu Liuyun’s ethereal palm about to strike Chen Huixue’s cheek.

Chen Huixue activated an Ice Shield Talisman she had prepared, forming an ice shield around her.

The ethereal palm struck the ice shield, directly sending Chen Huixue flying.

However, surprisingly.

The ice shield twisted yet endured Gu Liuyun’s strike, unharmed.

Chen Huixue remained unscathed.

Despite this.

Being humiliated like this at a family banquet.

Without much thought, Chen Huixue immediately flipped her wrist, summoning the Purple Jade Sword Heart Bracelet.

The clan elders of the Chen Family turned pale with fright.

"Don’t!"

They knew the harm of the Purple Jade Sword Heart Bracelet was substantial.

Seven years ago, Chen Huixue had directly killed a certain steward from True Intent Sect using this bracelet.

At that time, Chen Huixue was merely sixteen, at Early Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Gu Liuyun was unconcerned.

"Oh, little girl, daredevil, trying to hit your senior brother too!"

As soon as he spoke.

A beam of Ice Spirit Sword Qi shot forth like a shooting star.

Gu Liuyun, having drunk spirit wine, was somewhat intoxicated.

He greatly underestimated Chen Huixue.

A mere Late Stage of Qi Cultivation cultivator appeared nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

If not for his master, the True Master, valuing her innate Ice Spirit Body, intending to use her as a furnace.

She would have no qualification to share the same table with him.

He never expected.

The Ice Spirit Sword Qi emitted from the Purple Jade Sword Heart Bracelet would be so profound.

Not only was its power great, but its speed was also incredible.

By the time he realized and wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

A shrill scream echoed.

The protective spirit shield that Gu Liuyun had, was directly pierced and shattered by the Ice Spirit Sword Qi.

The Ice Spirit Sword Qi didn’t lose momentum and shot through Gu Liuyun’s shoulder, creating a blood hole.

The wound couldn’t self-heal with blood gushing uncontrollably.
