Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 520: Solidifying Pill Preparations

Shen Xuan’s words struck the weak spot of Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor.

He was merely a remnant soul of Old Ancestor Bone Ghost, relying on the underground yin veins of the Nether Domain.

If truly destroyed by Shen Xuan, he would find it difficult to find a similar place to reside.

Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor sighed.

Then he withdrew his hand, ceasing his attack.

The surging cold nether energy around him gradually reined in.

The boiling waters of the Nether River slowly calmed down.

"Forget it."

The voice of Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor regained its previous age-old quality.

"Shen Xuan, you’re indeed impressive. This time, I’ll give you face and let you pass over the river."

"In the future, you’re forbidden from entering again. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor threatened harshly.

Hearing this, Shen Xuan chuckled lightly.

"This wretched place makes me uncomfortable all over if I stay too long. If not for helping an old friend form his pill, I wouldn’t come here for any benefit!"

Shen Xuan retracted the Divine Dragon Dharma Aspect, returning to normal, standing calmly before Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor.

"Let’s leave it at that. Thank you, Demon Ancestor, for the convenience."

The two were wary of each other.

Continuing to fight bore no meaning.

Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor couldn’t do anything to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan was worried he would attack Li Ruyi and Wan Meng Demon Venerable.

In the Nether Domain, Shen Xuan found it almost impossible to kill Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor in one strike.

If the Nether Domain were destroyed, Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor would surely turn against him, fighting to the death.

No need for that.

Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor snorted coldly and waved, indicating for him to leave.

Then, his figure, along with the small boat, slowly sank into the Nether River, disappearing without a trace.

Shen Xuan returned and briefly recounted what had just transpired.

In fact, Li Ruyi and Wan Meng Demon Venerable had vaguely seen the magical combat between the two.

The trio did not delay any further, each exhibited their divine powers to quickly cross the branch of the Nether River.

Shen Xuan broke through the exit of the Nether Domain, returning to the bottom of the sinkhole.

Only then did the three finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

...

Liang Country, in a hidden cave.

After setting up the killing array and illusion array, Shen Xuan walked into the cave.

A faint campfire flickered to life.

Wan Meng Demon Venerable and Li Ruyi sat by the campfire.

Shen Xuan lightly counted the spoils from killing Demon Venerable Yao Tong.

First was his lifebound demon soldier, the White Bone Cloak, and the top-grade Demon Treasure, White Bone Soul-Piercing Needle.

Opening Demon Venerable Yao Tong’s storage pouch, there were plenty of good things inside.

A brown demon shield for defense.

There were also two demon soldiers belonging to Blood Shadow Demon Venerable.

A five-colored demon umbrella and a Blood Shadow magic robe.

All of them were extraordinary demon soldiers.

Additionally, there were two demon soldiers of unknown origin, a flying sword with a transparent blade and an entirely black as ink demon whip.

Furthermore, there were dozens of upper-grade demon stones, numerous magic potions, demon talismans, and demon beast materials that were too many to count.

Various secret jade scrolls from the Demon Sect, totaling over a dozen.

Shen Xuan clicked his tongue in wonder.

Demon Venerable Yao Tong, the crafty old fox, was filthy rich, far surpassing most true pill demon venerables in wealth.

One couldn’t imagine how many fellow demon venerables he had harmed.

As for Demon Venerable Yao Tong’s demon pill, Shen Xuan did not take it out.

These demon cultivation resources were laid out by the campfire, causing Wan Meng Demon Venerable to drool.

"Shen Xuan..."

Wan Meng Demon Venerable gazed at Shen Xuan with affectionate eyes.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

He allocated dozens of upper-grade demon stones, various magic potions, demon talismans, and the top-grade Demon Treasure White Bone Soul-Piercing Needle in front of Wan Meng Demon Venerable.

"These are for you."

"Thank you!"

Wan Meng Demon Venerable quickly took out her storage pouch and stowed them safely.

These items were worth millions of demon stones.

Shen Xuan was being fair to her.

As for those demon soldiers, she didn’t expect Shen Xuan to give them to her freely.

After all, they were merely using each other, a temporary relationship.

The truly valuable were the seven demon soldiers, especially the lifebound demon soldiers of Demon Venerable Yao Tong and Blood Shadow Demon Venerable.

The White Bone Cloak and Blood Shadow magic robe were all priceless.

"Wan Meng, you can help me find buyers for these seven demon soldiers."

"After the transaction, I’ll give you a twenty percent commission."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

"Great! Wan Meng will do her best!"

"Shen Xuan, what do you want to trade for?"

Wan Meng said happily upon hearing this.

Hehuan Sect was renowned for gathering intelligence.

"Trade for the Tier Three Divine Dragon Descendant Demon Core’s essence blood."

"I see!"

Wan Meng Demon Venerable nodded: "I’ll try my best. By the way, Shen Xuan, Tier Three Divine Dragon Descendants are rare. If someone offers a True Master Spiritual Artifact, would you be willing to trade?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"A True Master Spiritual Artifact is fine too, one for one."

Compared to demon venerables’ demon soldiers, True Master Spiritual Artifacts could fetch a better price in the cultivation realm.

"When you find a buyer, come to Flying Dragon Island in Song Country to find me."

Wan Meng Demon Venerable asked: "When are we going to slay that Ice Evil Demon Jiao?"

"In a few days, I need to go back and recuperate first. After a fierce battle with Bone Ghost Demon Ancestor, I’ve lost a lot of vital energy."

Shen Xuan explained.

In this fierce battle, he used [Dragon Blood Boiling], consuming a year of his lifespan.

Shen Xuan needed to return to the island to digest the gains from the Nether Domain.

First, he would refine the true pill of Demon Venerable Yao Tong.

"Okay. I’ll wait for your news. Once you’ve made your decision, let Pavilion Master Tianxiang at the market of Flying Dragon Island report to me."

Wan Meng Demon Venerable said helplessly.

The three rested for a night.

The next day, Shen Xuan and Wan Meng Demon Venerable parted ways.

He took Li Ruyi, summoned the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, and flew directly to Flying Dragon Island in Song Country.

...

Spring passed, and autumn came.

In the blink of an eye, four years passed.

On the peak of the main mountain of Flying Dragon Island.

Beside the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron, Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him, the golden words on the Mysterious Jade Talisman gleamed.

[Lifespan: 160/380].

[Divine Hidden Sea Technique: Great Success (682/1600)]

[True Ice Heart Technique: Great Success (1599/1600)]

[Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique: Great Success (468/1600)]

[Dragon Blood Boiling: Perfection (468/3200)]

[White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method: Perfection (1288/3200)]

[Purple Haze Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique: Great Success (128/1600)]

[Dao Rhyme: 301688]

In the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, he cultivated for seven years.

He served as the Island Master Flying Dragon for nine years as well.

In these four years, Shen Xuan diligently cultivated every day without stopping.

Tempering the divine soul, persistently practicing the ice technique.

At this moment, his spiritual power had reached the ultimate limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even slightly stronger than a Fake Pill True Master.

His flesh body was exceptionally strong, far surpassing a True Pill True Master.

Comparable to the most formidable flesh-bodied Tier Three Demon King.

After Li Ruyi solidified her Soul Pill, she regained all memories of her past life.

She compiled the alchemy inheritance from her past life into a book and imparted it in full.

Shen Xuan’s alchemical skills gradually refined.

He mastered various Tier Three Spirit Pill inheritances and became a Tier Three Middle Grade Pill Master.

He handed off most of the sect’s alchemy tasks to Li Ruyi.

Shen Xuan devoted all his time and energy to diligently practice the [True Ice Heart Technique].

Aside from this, he tempered his divine soul.

Almost every day, he would go to the mountaintop to use the power of thunder from the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron to temper his divine soul.

Adding in the daily morning, noon, and evening practice of the [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method].

He cultivated the Glazed Treasure Body, void of desires and fears, capable of countering various evil arts and magic.

The power of the divine soul grew steadily.

In four years, it doubled!

The divine sense correspondingly increased by more than fifty percent.

"It’s almost time. I can start condensing the Golden Core."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

The sect war between Yan and Song countries had grown more intense.

Over ten Fake Pill True Masters from both sides had fallen, the battle ignited with true flames.

Not only newly advanced True Pill True Masters.

Even veteran True Pill True Masters joined the fray.

The sect war between the two countries had ultimately spiraled out of control.

Shen Xuan predicted it would eventually evolve into a full-scale war between Yan and Song countries.

Cultivators from both countries harbored mutual enmity, killing each other on sight.

Maybe this was the original intention of the high-level officials of the major sects from Yan and Song countries.

"Therefore, in the end, when faced with insoluble problems, they resort to external warfare as the solution."

The fundamental issue of the Profound Origin Continent was the increasingly scarce cultivation resources and the growing number of cultivators, an imbalance between the two.

Either develop cultivation resources or reduce the cultivator population.

Evidently, the latter was easier.

The grim war situation accelerated Shen Xuan’s cultivation progress.

Now, everything is ready.

Two Tier-Breaking Spirit Pill Golden Transformation Pills, Core Formation Spiritual Objects, Millennial Purple Blood Ice Zhi, Soul-Protecting Pill Six Treasures Heart Protection Pill.

Spiritual Power, flesh body, divine soul, and divine sense had all reached the limits of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He just needed to find a safe spiritual land to attempt condensing the Golden Core.

The Cyan Cloud Sect was immediately ruled out.

The reason was simple; he couldn’t be sure whether Spirit Sword True Master, Celestial Thunder True Master, or True Master Changsheng would secretly act against him.

A thrust in the open is easy to dodge, but a stab in the dark is hard to defend.

Shen Xuan was unwilling to entrust his safety to others.

Even if Sect Leader Mysterious Trace True Master had promised.

Of course, before attempting the Core Solidification, Shen Xuan had to do one more thing.

"[True Ice Heart Technique], increase points!"

Dao Rhyme decreased quickly at a rate of a thousand points.

Consuming a full one hundred thousand points of Dao Rhyme.

Only then did the golden words on the Mysterious Jade Talisman begin to change.

[True Ice Heart Technique: Perfection (1/3200)]

Shen Xuan’s face lit up with joy.

Through diligent study and practice, combined with the special effect of the Mysterious Jade Talisman, he finally advanced the [True Ice Heart Technique] to perfection.

Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to achieve a breakthrough in ice technique cultivation.

Shen Xuan silently activated the [True Ice Heart Technique].

The vast Water Spiritual Power rushing through his meridians seemed empowered with new energy.

With a slight shift of mind, without consciously triggering it, the Water Spiritual Power within instantly transformed into Ice Spiritual Power.

These Ice Spiritual Powers morphed into countless tiny dazzling silver ice crystal runes, as if imbued with life, circulating, combining, and transforming on their own, faintly containing a hint of Dao Rhyme resembling the evolution of heaven and earth... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shen Xuan summoned the Ice Soul Divine Sword.

With a "buzzing" sound.

After the sword hummed, the Ice Soul Divine Sword suddenly burst forth with brilliance, splendid silver light instantly froze a thousand feet.

The air directly solidified, an icy chill capable of threatening the divine soul of a True Pill True Master silently permeated.

Shen Xuan flew up, darting directly above the sea.

He gently pointed a finger.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword transformed into a thin silver thread, flickering and vanishing, plunging a hundred feet into the seabed.

In the next instant, centered on the Ice Soul Divine Sword, within a thousand-foot radius, the seawater froze, turning into a giant ice mountain.

Countless sea creatures were frozen within the ice mountain, vividly lifelike.

This was not ordinary freezing, but rather a solidification imbued with a trace of Dao Rhyme of the law.

Shen Xuan silently activated the spell.

"Crack!"

The thousand-foot ice mountain trembled slightly, then erupted, crashing down, turning into countless even ice crystal fragments, melting into the seawater.

The power of one sword, terrifying indeed!

Shen Xuan retrieved the Ice Soul Divine Sword, feeling quite satisfied with the immensely increased power of his ice technique.

After achieving perfection in the [True Ice Heart Technique], he had comprehended a trace of extreme cold Dao Rhyme of the law.

At this moment, his power had undergone a qualitative leap.

Even without transforming into the True Spirit Dharma Aspect, he could confront a True Pill True Master head-on.

He gazed at the vast sea, his heart surging with excitement.

At one hundred sixty years, he had finally reached this day.

Originally, he could have honed his skills further.

With the expansion of the sect war between Yan and Song countries.

For the sake of safety, he could only attempt the Core Solidification ahead of schedule.

"Now, the only problem is, where should I go to condense the Golden Core?"
