Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 402: White Bone Observation Image

The Mysterious Jade Talisman flashed a golden light, enveloping the Demon Flood Dragon Blood Stone.

A small, exquisite shadow of the Demon Flood Dragon appeared, completely black, only about an inch in size.

Captured by the golden light of the Mysterious Jade Talisman, it struggled angrily, raising its head and letting out a soul-shattering roar, causing the golden light to tremble slightly.

"Still trying to escape!"

Shen Xuan was not frightened but delighted.

It was his first time seeing essence blood resisting the golden light of the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

This proved the extraordinary nature of the Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood.

Shen Xuan operated his profound technique, infused his Spiritual Power, causing the mysterious golden light to suddenly shine brighter and more dazzling.

The Demon Flood Dragon shadow struggled in vain, finally letting out a mournful cry, rapidly shrinking and being drawn into Shen Xuan’s Dantian.

The Profound Ice Spirit Lotus in the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea opened its petals, enclosing the Demon Flood Dragon’s shadow.

"Roar!"

The next moment.

Shen Xuan’s body expanded violently, face contorted.

A flood dragon horn protruded slightly on his forehead, black scales appeared on his skin, fingers transformed into sharp claws, and a fierce, savage aura emanated from him.

"Damn! This Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood has been tainted by Demonic Qi!"

Shen Xuan muttered to himself.

He forcefully maintained his clarity, operating the Divine Hidden Sea Technique to its utmost.

In his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea, turbulent waves surged, rushing into the Profound Ice Spirit Lotus, aiding in the refinement of the Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood.

At this moment, Shen Xuan’s body was enveloped in Demonic Qi, black scales appearing all over, his limbs and bones experiencing waves of tearing pain.

His appearance closely resembled the Demon Flood Dragon shadow that had suddenly appeared from the Blood Stone, bearing seventy percent similarity.

Shen Xuan’s eyes were clear, steadfastly maintaining his spirit, as the scales on his body gradually turned blue.

This was him using the True Ice Heart Technique to expel the Demonic Qi from his body.

In his Dantian, the Profound Ice Spirit Lotus trembled slightly, liquid Spiritual Power crazily pouring in, refining the Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood.

After an hour.

Shen Xuan’s body gradually shrank back to its original form.

"Finally refined successfully."

The Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood in this stone was very sparse, likely less than a thousandth of a percent.

The body transformation brought to Shen Xuan was extremely astonishing.

"It’s not the Demonic Qi, but rather..."

"This flood dragon is of higher tier, surpassing the Tiger-faced Flood Dragon!"

[Dao Rhyme: 107432]

The Dao Rhyme increased by over eight hundred points.

And this was merely the essence blood content of a piece of Demon Flood Dragon Blood Stone.

Looking again at the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

[Stealable Talent: Demon Flood Dragon Roar, Flood Dragon Scale Demon Shield, Infinite Strength, Divine Dragon’s Suppression, Dragon Blood Boiling, Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, Overturning Rivers and Seas, Soaring Clouds and Mist, Wishful Size]

Compared to the Talent Skills of the flood dragon bloodline mastered by Shen Xuan, two new skills appeared.

Unfortunately, the Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood was too little.

Even if stolen, it would likely not reach the Entry Level.

Shen Xuan simply added it to [Dragon Blood Boiling], directly advancing to Minor Achievement.

[Talent: Dragon Blood Boiling Minor Achievement (12/800)]

"A single Demon Flood Dragon Blood Stone has so much Dao Rhyme, and it can aid the skill [Dragon Blood Boiling] in advancing, quite excellent."

This also gave Shen Xuan an idea.

He could massively acquire cultivation objects infused with high-tier Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Spiritual Objects, of course, are best.

Demons are also no problem.

Even if unable to steal new bloodline Talent Skills.

It can still increase Dao Rhyme, enhance skill level of existing skills.

But, during refinement, be especially cautious.

Especially with Demons.

Be extremely wary of contamination, lest they usurp control, transforming you into a demon.

"Aye, dragon nature is fundamentally lustful. The thicker the dragon blood, the heavier the beast nature, the more intense the body’s hostility."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Suddenly recalled an item.

He retrieved a Technique Jade Scroll from his Storage Pouch.

It was the [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method] obtained from the Demon Sect Saint Child.

Initially, he thought it was a secret technique of the White Bone Sect.

Turns out, it was a legitimate Buddhist Internal Vision Method instead.

"Remove the skin shell, just two hundred and six bones; wear clothes, eighteen thousand appearances..."

Shen Xuan was moved, calming his breath, watching closely.

"With the body verify entry, self-observation of bone appearance, dispel illusions, discern genuine, meditative certitude, achieve the Glazed Buddha Body."

The Glazed Buddha Body or whatever, Shen Xuan was not concerned.

It’s said that this White Bone Observation can abstain from lust, banish fear, harmonize meridian flow, regenerate flesh, stabilize mind, reverse aging, prolong life.

"Looking at it this way, practicing isn’t a bad idea."

At least, it can suppress the lustful cravings and savage beast nature of the flood dragon essence blood.

[White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method] comprises four Realms: Quiet Observation, White Bone Observation, White Bone Flowing Light Observation, White Bone Rebirth Observation.

Shen Xuan followed the spell, engaging in internal observation.

Before long, he was immersed.

At this moment, in his Internal Vision Method.

His own body gradually turned red, swelling, then turned blue, then purple, finally becoming pitch black.

The skin began to rot, blood turning to pus, muscles decaying, internal organs decaying, the stench unbearable.

Suddenly, countless maggots emerged from somewhere, devouring his body’s pus and rotting flesh.

Unsure how much time passed.

The maggots, bloated, consumed all of Shen Xuan’s pus and rotting flesh, transforming into moths, flying away without a trace.

In Shen Xuan’s White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method.

Only a skeleton remained, pure and translucent.

White bones, no trace of burden.

Shen Xuan exerted efforts for a long time.

Yet never developed the Heaven Eye.

Slowly withdrawing his skill, Shen Xuan opened his eyes.

Reflecting on the insights gained from practicing [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method].

The hostility in his heart was indeed suppressed.

Bone and flesh seemed to gain a hint of vitality.

That was all.

Buddhist cultivation techniques are inherently persistent and slow in progress.

Luckily, Shen Xuan possessed the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

It displayed.

[White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method: Entry Level (1/100)]

Shen Xuan attempted to add Dao Rhyme points.

The skill level of Entry Level requires ten Dao Rhyme points per point.

"So advanced?"

Shen Xuan pondered.

"Therefore, this [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method] is a fine high-tier auxiliary technique?"

```

Shen Xuan no longer pondered.

He spent a thousand points of Dao Rhyme to advance the [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method] to the proficient stage.

The next day, after completing his daily cultivation.

Shen Xuan once again used his power to perform the [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method].

In front of him, it was exactly the same as yesterday.

His body transformed into pure white translucent bones.

However, this time, he still had strength left.

Between his brows, at the inner location of the forehead marking, precisely in front of the Sea of Consciousness, an eye emerged in his internal vision, the so-called Heavenly Eye by Buddhism.

Then, the divine light from both eyes converged at the Heavenly Eye, suddenly opening wide, round and unobstructed.

The Heavenly Eye shone brightly, wherever his mind willed, the divine light illuminated there.

Wherever it reached, the bones became cleaner, purer, holy and solemn.

Shen Xuan observed from above to below.

Starting from the skull, he carefully examined each part, his body a set of bones, as if hung by a string, swaying loosely, quietly serene and clear.

After finishing the exercise.

Shen Xuan’s heart was like still water, an ancient well without ripples.

In his mind, a verse from a Buddhist sutra emerged.

"All forms are illusions. If one sees all forms as non-forms, he sees the Tathagata."

After a moment of reflection.

Shen Xuan spent four thousand points of Dao Rhyme to elevate the [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method] to mastery.

"It’s suitable now, Buddhist auxiliary technique, to be cultivated slowly, no need to rush."

The purpose of Shen Xuan cultivating the [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method] was to suppress lustful thoughts, eliminate fear, refine the body and muscles, cultivate righteous spirit, thus promoting health and longevity.

Stopping indulgence and abstaining from killing, that is impossible.

...

Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Warehouse.

As soon as Shen Xuan walked in, he heard cultivators inside cursing.

"Bang"!

Heavy table slap.

"Steward Qian, call your Elder Lv out!"

"Does your Miscellaneous Affairs Hall really look down on our Spirit Pill Hall like this?"

"You ordered medicinal materials, and sent these inferior goods with insufficient age to perfunctorily deal with us?"

It was the voice of Huang Yuan from the Spirit Pill Hall.

It sounded quite angry, full of ridicule towards the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

"Elder Huang, I am just a Warehouse Steward, following Elder Lv’s instructions."

"If dissatisfied, negotiate with Elder Lv. What he gave me are these medicinal materials."

Steward Qian said helplessly.

"No need to press me with Elder Lv! Go call him here, tell him I’m waiting here!"

"If he doesn’t show up in half an hour, I’ll see him at the Law Enforcement Hall!"

Huang Yuan said angrily.

"Please wait a moment, Elder Huang. I will notify Elder Lv right away."

Steward Qian justified.

Took out the Communication Jade Pendant, quickly input.

"Elder Lv is nearby, he’ll be here soon."

Steward Qian smiled and said.

Shen Xuan glanced, didn’t greet Huang Yuan.

Walked directly to Steward Qian.

For unknown reasons.

As Shen Xuan walked into the warehouse, it suddenly quieted down.

Several surrounding gazes all fell on him.

Shen Xuan took out his Identity Jade Pendant.

"Cold Jade Peak, Shen Xuan."

"Have the medicinal materials I needed been delivered?"

Steward Qian said diligently, "They’ve been sent."

He took out a Storage Pouch, emptied the Spirit Medicine Jade Boxes inside, and pointed for Shen Xuan to see.

"Five hundred-year-old Red Jade Fruit, Moon Soul Flower, Stable Wind Grass, Cliff Viewing Flower, Frost Congealing Fruit, Wind Welcoming Flower..."

Steward Qian introduced one by one.

After saying each name, he packed it into the Storage Pouch.

"Thirty-seven portions of Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Medicines, all here."

"Thank you, Steward Qian."

"Not at all, Elder Shen is too polite!"

Shen Xuan wore a slight smile on his face, collected the Storage Pouch, and turned to leave.

"Senior Brother Shen, wait a moment!"

Huang Yuan barely squeezed out a smile.

"May I ask Senior Brother Shen, what purpose serves the use of so many Spirit Medicines?"

One does not strike a smiling person.

Shen Xuan politely replied, "There’s a purpose."

Huang Yuan knew Shen Xuan was formidable, and didn’t dare provoke him.

Turned to launch at Steward Qian.

"Good on you, Steward Qian, all premium Spirit Medicines for Senior Brother Shen. But shoving unwanted rubbish on our Spirit Medicine Hall!"

"Don’t you want to live? Daring to oppress our Spirit Medicine Hall like this!"

Steward Qian felt full of grievance.

"I was merely following orders."

"Whose orders!"

"Instructions from Elder Lv Zhengying."

Unable to bear the pressure from the Spirit Pill Hall’s direct disciple of the True Master, Steward Qian had to disclose Lv Zhengying’s name.

At this moment.

Lv Zhengying hurriedly arrived.

"Why is Elder Huang so furious?"

"Let’s talk it out. You go ahead and do your work."

Lv Zhengying showed his responsibility, first had Steward Qian leave.

"Don’t go!"

Huang Yuan glared sinisterly at Lv Zhengying.

"Elder Lv, what’s going on with these Spirit Medicines?"

Seeing this, Lv Zhengying puzzledly said, "These Spirit Medicines were exactly as Elder Huang’s list wrote. No mistake!"

"Look here!"

Huang Yuan took all the Spirit Medicines from the Storage Pouch to the counter.

"Open your eyes and see! These Spirit Medicines are insufficiently aged, poorly shaped. You gave such substandard goods for our Spirit Pill Hall’s Alchemy?"

Lv Zhengying said apologetically, "Pardon me, Elder Huang. Recently, the market’s been bustling with high-priced Spirit Medicine purchases, creating a shortage."

"These, Lv had to beg insistently, only letting out seeing face of the Cyan Cloud Sect."

"If Elder Huang doubts, go and inquire outside the Sect. If there’s falsehood, no need to lift a hand, Lv will bind himself to the Law Enforcement Hall."

Huang Yuan snorted coldly.

"I ask you, if what you say is true, why can Senior Brother Shen acquire such ample five-hundred-year Spirit Medicines?"
