Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 337: Winds and Clouds Surging

The Purple Gold True Water Seal is a Spiritual Artifact Spirit Embryo, a replica of the True Water Divine Spirit Treasure.

Master Cold Jade specially used Profound Ice Spiritual Power to help Shen Xuan refine this treasure through secret techniques.

According to Master Cold Jade’s estimation, it would originally take Shen Xuan ten years to completely refine it.

With her assistance, it only takes five or six years.

Now, only one year has passed.

Shen Xuan’s refining progress far exceeds Master Cold Jade’s expectations.

"I only need two years to fully refine the Purple Gold True Water Seal."

This is the benefit brought about by the surge in power.

Spiritual Power has not increased much.

But the Divine Soul, Divine Sense, and physical strength have greatly strengthened.

The refining progress of the Purple Gold True Water Seal naturally accelerated.

By this calculation, in two years, he can almost break through to the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.

With the aid of the River and Sea Map, fully activating it, he should be able to barely drive the Purple Gold True Water Seal.

It is estimated that it can only be driven two or three times.

However, it is enough.

This can be used as a protective measure against Fake Pill Masters.

Even if it can buy a few breaths of time.

The chance of retreating safely greatly increases.

After completely refining the Purple Gold True Water Seal, Shen Xuan pondered secretly.

The Wilderness cannot be visited.

The Demon King there is incredibly powerful.

As a practitioner of Water Technique, encountering the Demon King of the Wilderness makes it difficult for him to retreat safely.

But in the vast sea.

The situation is different.

His abilities can be fully utilized.

Even against Tier Three Water Demons.

Shen Xuan has Water Control, Water Repellent, Water Escape, Overturning Rivers and Seas, and other Water Techniques to support him.

Unless he encounters a speed-type Tier Three Water Demon, he can still retreat safely.

Currently, Shen Xuan lacks nothing in terms of wealth, companionship, and Daoist Technique.

He can completely rely on hard work and proceed step by step.

His current combat power is already at the peak among those in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In a short period, it is difficult to make a qualitative breakthrough.

He can only focus on improving his Realm Cultivation.

Thinking about this.

Shen Xuan decided to make a good impression on Master Cold Jade.

Then, using the excuse of sensing a new opportunity, plan a trip to East Sea Immortal City.

Diligent cultivation is necessary.

Besides, he is a transmigrator with a Golden Finger.

He must utilize the Golden Finger to take shortcuts and find ways to acquire high-tier Water Demon Essence Blood.

He cannot suffer for nothing and only move himself with hard work, blindly relying on diligence.

Shen Xuan immediately got up, intending to pay respect to Master Cold Jade.

Six months ago, he returned to Cold Jade Peak.

He truthfully reported his experiences of external training to Master Cold Jade.

Upon hearing that he had encountered the Demon King Howling Moon Fox, Master Cold Jade was quite surprised.

"In the future, don’t get involved in the Beast Tide affairs!"

Shen Xuan immediately agreed.

However, after learning about Shen Xuan obtaining the Bai Family Stronghold’s Body Refining Technique Inheritance.

Upon personally witnessing Shen Xuan transforming into a Frost Snow Flood Dragon, Master Cold Jade was unsettled.

At that time, Shen Xuan hadn’t fully refined the Frost Cold Flood Dragon Essence Blood.

The Ninth Transformation True Spirit Transformation was only in its Sixth Transformation.

It already made Master Cold Jade visibly pleased.

Clearly, succeeding in the Ninth Transformation True Spirit Transformation, increasing physical strength, was beneficial to Shen Xuan’s continued improvement in the True Ice Heart Technique.

Master Cold Jade earnestly instructed, advising Shen Xuan to cultivate steadily, build a solid Dao Foundation, and avoid rushing to seek success.

The progress of Shen Xuan’s Ice Technique cultivation was three times faster than hers in the past.

The strength of his flesh was far superior to hers back then.

In Master Cold Jade’s view, as long as no accidents occur midway, Shen Xuan’s chances to Condense the Inner Core are quite high.

It should be fifty to sixty percent.

"Unfortunately, your Dao Foundation is only Middle Grade, slightly lacking in quality."

Master Cold Jade couldn’t help but sigh.

If the Dao Foundation were Upper Grade, the chances for this direct disciple to Condense the Inner Core would be seventy to eighty percent.

"Don’t worry, Master! I am looking for a way to improve the quality of my Dao Foundation and have found some clues."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Have you ever heard of the Purifying Foundation Pill, Master?"

"I have indeed heard of this Pill. It does improve the quality of the Dao Foundation. However, this Pill is expensive and requires long-term and substantial consumption to be effective."

Master Cold Jade pondered as she spoke: "In the entire Song Country, only the few elder Pill Masters from Medicine God Valley can refine the Purifying Foundation Pill."

"Our Cyan Cloud Sect and Medicine God Valley are almost at the brink of conflict. Hoping for them to sell Purifying Foundation Pills is nearly impossible."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"I can refine it myself. Why bother dealing with Medicine God Valley!"

Upon hearing this, Master Cold Jade’s eyes lit up.

She was aware of Shen Xuan’s abilities.

He always managed to come up with novel ideas, taking alternative paths, and creating a different path.

The large furnace refining and Thunder-Attracting Array he promoted previously have brought enormous benefits to the Sect.

As for Master Gu Feng’s claim to these being his unique secret techniques.

Every other True Master in the Cyan Cloud Sect chuckled, knowingly remaining silent.

Originally, Master Cold Jade was unwilling to accept it.

After she successfully claimed Shen Xuan as her direct disciple.

She, like the other True Masters, blended in amicably, no longer mocking Master Gu Feng.

Shen Xuan immediately recounted the situation regarding the Nether Cultivator Li Ruyi briefly.

"Very good. Just do your best."

"If you encounter any difficulties, report them to me."

"I will definitely support you!"

Master Cold Jade smiled as she spoke.

"Disciple thanks Master!"

Receiving a promise of full support from Master Cold Jade, Shen Xuan felt completely reassured.

Master Cold Jade was different from Master Gu Feng.

Master Gu Feng came from the family lineage Yang Family.

From a young age, he was seen as a Core Formation Seed and was nurtured with all his family resources.

Unconcerned with worldly matters, he needed only peaceful cultivation.

Unskilled in various cultivation arts, it did not hinder Master Gu Feng from successfully Condensing the True Pill.

Master Cold Jade, on the other hand, came from a background of being a Loose Cultivator.

Sole and alone, she conquered all sides.

Carving through the crowd with a path of bloodshed.

She seized the Foundation Establishment Pill, successfully entered Foundation Establishment, then joined the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Among the Thirteen Peaks of Cyan Cloud, there was originally no Cold Jade Peak.

The sect master of Master Cold Jade was merely an ice technique practitioner at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

She managed to condense an Inner Core, relying on her own efforts.

Lacking cultivation resources, she left the sect, hunted demons, and earned sect merits and spirit stones.

After numerous battles over the years, her Dao Foundation was inevitably damaged.

Even after recovery, the quality of her Dao Foundation was somewhat affected.

This also caused Master Cold Jade to fail at condensing a true pill, achieving only a True Pill.

She was unable to form a Golden Core.

Without family background or connections, her foundation was insufficient.

As an ice cultivator, Master Cold Jade’s combat power rivaled that of a Golden Core.

Yet she still did not hold real power in sect affairs.

Ranked ninth among the Eighteen Masters of Cyan Cloud, her position reflected her sect status.

It is an important criterion for cultivation resource distribution within the sect.

"Shen Xuan, take a look at this."

Master Cold Jade handed him an Intelligence Jade Scroll.

His divine sense gently swept over it.

It contained the recent actions of Medicine God Valley.

They were not only pressuring Profound Celestial Sect and Golden Sun Sect frequently.

But were also openly contacting the Demon Sect of Liang Country.

The conflict between Medicine God Valley and White Bone Sect at their border had already ceased.

It is said, unless Profound Celestial Sect, Golden Sun Sect, and the remaining five sects of Song Country force Cyan Cloud Sect to relinquish Large Furnace Alchemy, Medicine God Valley is prepared to turn to Liang Country.

To become the seventh Great Demon Sect of Liang Country.

"Medicine God Valley is courting disaster!"

After reading it, Shen Xuan sighed softly.

"Oh! Tell me more!"

Master Cold Jade asked, puzzled.

She has always been obsessed with cultivation and combat, having little interest and no in-depth study of sect politics.

However, being the issue involved a fellow member of the Seven Sects of Song Country, namely Medicine God Valley.

It concerns the fortune of Cyan Cloud Sect, so Master Cold Jade was certainly concerned.

"Master, the foundation and safeguard of Medicine God Valley lies in their alchemy techniques."

"Now, with our sect’s Large Furnace Alchemy, Medicine God Valley’s safeguard is completely gone."

"If Medicine God Valley concedes, retreats their battle line, and relinquishes some interests, they could still survive."

"Now they refuse to decline, burning their boats, using the Demon Sect to threaten the six sects of Song Country."

"At this moment, it is not that our Cyan Cloud Sect cannot tolerate it. It is that the entire cultivation influence of Song Country cannot tolerate it!"

Shen Xuan sighed lightly again.

With his butterfly-like flapping wings, Medicine God Valley of the Seven Sects of Song Country faces the disaster of sect annihilation.

A child with gold walking in a busy market.

Previously, the six sects of Song Country relied on Medicine God Valley to refine spirit pills for them.

Even if the prices were higher, with no alternatives, they had to grudgingly accept.

Now, the spirit pills of Medicine God Valley, in terms of quality and price, compared with those of Cyan Cloud Sect, are completely at a disadvantage, lacking competitiveness.

Medicine God Valley did not seek a way to break the deadlock, nor did they try to lower prices and improve quality to increase the competitiveness of their spirit pills.

Instead, they deludedly attempted to collude with demons to pressure the other five sects to join forces against Cyan Cloud Sect.

The other five sects of Song Country, after weighing the pros and cons, would inevitably ally with Cyan Cloud Sect to divide Medicine God Valley’s spiritual land, inheritances, talents, and resources, etc.

As for the Demon Sect of Liang Country, they might at most secretly support Medicine God Valley.

They would never engage in a full-scale war with the Daoist sects of Song Country over Medicine God Valley.

The Daoist and Demon sects of both countries are equally matched, lacking any absolute advantage to crush the other, and both would avoid escalating a Daoist-Demon war.

A civil war within Song Country would be welcomed by the Demon Sect of Liang Country.

They could conveniently absorb part of Medicine God Valley’s inheritances, talents, resources, and so on.

In summary.

Medicine God Valley is on the table.

Their high-ranking officials have not yet realized it and still foolishly attempt a counterattack to restore their sect’s original status.

It is impossible!

Shen Xuan’s expression was calm, his heart as clear as a mirror.

He analyzed the pros and cons for Master Cold Jade.

"I see!"

Master Cold Jade suddenly understood.

There was an extra layer of appreciation in her gaze toward Shen Xuan.

It’s no wonder that the sect leader suspected Shen Xuan to be the reincarnation of a powerful figure.

In such a complex situation, Shen Xuan could unravel it in a few words and get straight to the core.

Actually, Shen Xuan has witnessed too many such situational changes in his previous life.

The relationship between sects is similar to the nations of his previous life.

Sect interests determine foreign policy.

The Large Furnace Alchemy technique of Cyan Cloud Sect benefits the vast spiritual farmers and cultivators.

The only ones adversely affected are the monopoly of spirit pill prices by Medicine God Valley.

As long as Cyan Cloud Sect is willing to transfer some benefits, all cultivation influences of Song Country will stand on the side of Cyan Cloud Sect.

Medicine God Valley completely failed to realize the destructive power of this crisis.

Their loss of competitiveness in spirit pills is enough to destroy the foundation on which Medicine God Valley stands.

This is the tragedy of a sect dependent on their technique.

The lack of strategy leads to a subtle decline within their comfort zone.

When the times abandon them, they do so without notice.

Until now, Medicine God Valley hasn’t realized they are on the table.

They still assume they hold the upper seat at the table.

"However, there are hidden True Lords within Medicine God Valley, so they won’t fall so quickly."

"Additionally, it’s not advisable for you to go out at this time."

Master Cold Jade earnestly advised.

"Medicine God Valley knows of your existence."

"Once the situation deteriorates, if you are alone outside, you could be in mortal danger."

True Masters are not allowed to act recklessly, as per the peace-time agreement.

If a sect war breaks out, at the brink of life and death, Medicine God Valley would not adhere to this agreement.

The instigator Shen Xuan would be the prime target of Medicine God Valley.

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

He knew well that a sword has two edges, every matter has its advantages and disadvantages.

Offering the Large Furnace Alchemy opened a path for his ascent.

But it also brought endless troubles.

"Master, I need high-tier Water Demon Essence Blood for body refining."

Shen Xuan looked at Master Cold Jade with anticipation.

He had figured it out.

Since it’s difficult for him to obtain it himself.

He might as well directly ask Master Cold Jade for it.

After all, the master’s kindness to him is as heavy as a mountain.

He might as well owe a bit more.
