Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 529: Flaunting Power

Cold Jade Peak.

In the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Shen Xuan and his master, True Master Cold Jade, sat down to chat.

Fang Huixue poured two cups of Spirit Tea and then gracefully excused herself.

Shen Xuan briefly recounted the process of his Core Formation.

He told True Master Cold Jade that Li Ruyi had also condensed a Soul Pill.

Of course, he asked True Master Cold Jade to keep it secret.

True Master Cold Jade agreed wholeheartedly.

"Shen Xuan, now that you’ve condensed a Golden Core, what are your plans for the future?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"I wish to devote myself to rigorous cultivation, to see if I can ascend further."

True Master Cold Jade fell silent.

What he meant by ascending further was condensing a Nascent Soul.

However, achieving the state of a Nascent Soul Daoist is not that easy. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

In the entire Cyan Cloud Sect, over a thousand years, only one person has become a Nascent Soul Daoist.

It requires not only talent and fortune.

But also an abundance of cultivation resources.

Currently, among the five Golden Cores of Cyan Cloud Sect, only Spirit Sword True Master has the potential to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

Hidden Image True Master and Celestial Thunder True Master have almost no hope.

Mysterious Trace True Master and Celestial Wind True Master have some hope, but it’s not significant.

True Master Cold Jade let out a long sigh.

"Shen Xuan, in your future cultivation, I won’t be able to help you."

"Master, the road ahead is long, I will seek it out myself, and find my own path."

True Master Cold Jade nodded.

She took out a Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll.

"These are some insights and experiences I gained after Core Formation, practicing the True Ice Heart Technique. You can use them as a reference when you return."

"Yes, disciple thanks the master."

"If you have time, guide your two junior sisters, especially Liu Bingyu."

"Disciple understands."

Fang Huixue, who was tempered by True Master Cold Jade since her youth and possesses a natural Ice Spirit Body, has a great hope of condensing a True Pill.

As for Liu Bingyu, she can at most condense a Fake Pill, and there is even a certain risk involved.

Shen Xuan understood the subtle hint from True Master Cold Jade.

She hopes he can guide Liu Bingyu in cultivation and help her condense a Fake Pill.

...

After leaving Cold Jade Peak.

Shen Xuan went to Small Lone Peak.

Once again visiting his master.

True Master Gu Feng was much more courteous to him.

Shen Xuan and True Master Gu Feng chatted for a while.

He once again addressed him as master, confirming their mentor-disciple relationship.

Afterwards, True Master Gu Feng summoned his direct disciples.

Yun Chixin, Wen Luoying, Gu Jinqin, Qin Yuehan, Wu Xueting, and Wu Yuting entered the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, standing in two rows.

"Shen Xuan has condensed the Ice Technique Golden Core. From now on, he will be known as True Master Shen."

"According to the sect’s agreements, Shen Xuan and the sect leader, along with all the True Masters, will address each other as senior and junior brothers."

"True Master Shen respects me as his master."

"I have found you all a good backing, you should feel satisfied!"

"From now on, True Master Shen will be your senior brother!"

After True Master Gu Feng finished speaking.

Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting stepped forward to pay respects, both speaking coyly, "Junior sisters greet senior brother!"

Yun Chixin, Wen Luoying, Gu Jinqin, and Qin Yuehan all stepped forward to pay their respects.

"No need for formalities!"

Shen Xuan returned each one’s courtesy.

Especially when facing Yun Chixin, he purposely said, "Senior Sister Yun, you fiercely beat Lei Yaoyang back then, I am immensely grateful."

Yun Chixin hurriedly replied, "There’s no need for that, Senior Brother! Now that you’ve become a Golden Core, I still want to borrow your prestige to show off!"

Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

"I was first a disciple of Small Lone Peak, then of Cold Jade Peak."

"Whoever dares to bully the junior sisters of Small Lone Peak, is bullying me, Shen Xuan."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting jumped up in joy.

Shen Xuan glanced at them sideways.

True Master Cold Jade sternly said, "You must not rely on Shen Xuan’s prestige to misbehave outside."

"Otherwise, I will expel you from the sect!"

Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting quickly suppressed their happy expressions, pretending to be demure.

...

Cold Moon Pavilion.​​

The night was like ink, the moonlight like water, quietly flowing among the pavilions and terraces.

Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan sat opposite each other in a pavilion.

Their silhouettes intertwined in the moonlight.

Having known each other for over a hundred and forty years.

Yet meeting now, they felt more estranged than ever.

A faint fragrance of spirit plants permeated the air.

The entire pavilion held an indescribable serenity and melancholy.

The noise faded away, leaving a peaceful solitude.

Qin Yuehan in a white dress, her exquisite profile reflected in the moonlight, her eyes as clear as autumn water, gazing at Shen Xuan.

With a hint of joy.

And a trace of barely perceptible self-pity.

He successfully condensed an Ice Technique Golden Core, with a lifespan of five hundred years, a bright path ahead.

At this moment, Qin Yuehan did not know that Shen Xuan’s lifespan exceeded eight hundred years.

Moreover, he could still extend it further.

A millennium within reach.

"Congratulations, Shen Xuan."

Qin Yuehan said softly, her voice gentle.

"Golden Core Great Success, the Great Dao is within sight."

These words came from the heart, carrying a faint sense of detachment.

Now, Shen Xuan’s status even surpassed that of his master, True Master Gu Feng.

Shen Xuan’s expression remained calm.

"Commandery Princess."

This form of address made Qin Yuehan’s heart tremble. She looked up at him.

"The path of the Dao is long, the Golden Core is not the end, for me, it’s just the beginning."

Shen Xuan’s voice was low and resolute.

"My path still needs moving forward, where there may be more dangers ahead, or it might be lonelier."

He paused, then his tone became solemn: "Commandery Princess, you can do it. Once you condense the Inner Core, I will take you to see this vast world."

Upon hearing this, a warm current surged in Qin Yuehan’s heart.

She understood that this was Shen Xuan’s promise to her.

Shen Xuan still needs to move forward.

He can’t stop and wait for her.

However, after she condenses the Inner Core.

Shen Xuan will come and take her forward together.

"Yuehan..."

Qin Yuehan’s lips parted slightly, seeming to have a thousand words left unsaid.

Not long after, her gaze gradually became firm.

"Yuehan understands. Yuehan will definitely condense the Inner Core!"

Shen Xuan nodded slightly, a trace of approval in his eyes: "Commandery Princess, as long as you have the heart, you will surely form a Pill."

"By then, we will roam the world together and explore the Dao."

Shen Xuan’s words were meant to encourage Qin Yuehan.

Based on Shen Xuan’s observation, as long as Qin Yuehan’s Dao heart is steadfast, achieving a Fake Pill is very hopeful.

After all, the Great Demon Ziyun personally remodeled her Spirit Body.

In the Little Lonely Peak, she does not lack Cultivation Resources.

Qin Yuehan took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging in her heart, smiled brightly, like a plum blossom blooming under the moon.

"Rest assured, Senior! Yuehan will surely condense the Inner Core! Yuehan wishes Senior a long journey on the Dao and eternal prosperity on the immortal path."

Shen Xuan looked at her and nodded: "The same to you."

The moonlight silently cast on both of them, elongating their shadows.

Shen Xuan turned around, his figure merging into the moonlight, disappearing from sight.

Qin Yuehan stood for a long time, until the night dew dampened her skirt, only then did she slowly clench her jade-like hand, her gaze firm.

...

Next, Shen Xuan recuperated at Cold Jade Peak.

Liu Bingyu vacated the Cave Mansion, moving together with Little Junior Sister Fang Huixue.

Shen Xuan, in addition to his cultivation, went to visit the five Golden Cores of the Cyan Cloud Sect and True Master Ling Xiao.

The Spirit Sword True Master was stationed at the Yan and Song Countries’ war front and had not yet returned to the Sect.

A secret message was sent, stating that he would surely attend Shen Xuan’s Core Formation ceremony in person.

Hidden Image True Master encouraged Shen Xuan in every way, subtly hinting at the possibility of him succeeding as Sect Leader in the future.

Shen Xuan pretended not to understand, played dumb, and inquired if there were any idle Spirit Veins suitable for his cultivation.

Hidden Image True Master could only sigh deeply.

He told Shen Xuan, in the Cyan Cloud Sect, although there are Tier Three Spirit Veins, their grade is too low, unsuitable for his cultivation.

In the short term, he could only settle for an ordinary Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Peak.

Shen Xuan thought about it.

He decided it would be better to temporarily stay at Cold Jade Peak.

At least, that’s where a Tier Three Ice Spirit Vein is located.

Afterward, Shen Xuan visited the Mysterious Trace True Master, with the same result.

"Junior Brother Shen, I am not unaware of your contributions to the Sect."

"However, the Sect’s situation is not optimistic. The Sects of Yan Country are pressing step by step, and I find it difficult too."

Shen Xuan nodded and said: "I believe in Sect Leader Senior Brother."

The war between the Sects of the Yan and Song Countries is fundamentally due to not having enough Tier Three Spirit Veins to provide the newly promoted True Masters for cultivation.

Shen Xuan condensing the Ice Technique Golden Core, such a talent, Mysterious Trace True Master naturally dared not neglect.

However, a Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Peak or a Tier Three Ice Spirit Vein, Mysterious Trace True Master truly could not produce.

"To be honest, Junior Brother Shen, I thought about spending some resources to convert a Tier Three Water Spirit Vein into an Ice Spirit Vein. But now it’s wartime. Transforming Spirit Veins not only requires a lot of Cultivation Resources but also time."

Mysterious Trace True Master explained.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, I understand."

He hadn’t put his hopes in the Cyan Cloud Sect to begin with.

Like True Master Ling Xiao, even after a hundred years at the Golden Core stage, he’s still enduring hardship.

It’s not that the Cyan Cloud Sect doesn’t value him.

But the reality is just like that.

"Junior Brother Shen, don’t worry, I’ve discussed it with the other junior brothers. For this Core Formation ceremony, the Profound Celestial Sect and the Golden Sun Sect will surely send people to congratulate."

"I plan to discuss with them whether we can temporarily borrow a Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Vein or a Tier Three Ice Spirit Vein as a cultivation field for Junior Brother Shen."

Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Mysterious Trace True Master’s approach surprised him.

"They won’t lend it, right?"

A lack of high-tier Spirit Veins is not a problem unique to the Cyan Cloud Sect.

The Profound Celestial Sect and Golden Sun Sect surely lack them too.

If their own Sect’s True Masters can’t be satisfied, it’s impossible they would lend externally.

"As long as there are enough benefits, everything can be negotiated."

Mysterious Trace True Master smiled and said: "Junior Brother Shen, the war between the Sects of the Yan and Song Countries is now just a stage for newly promoted True Masters."

"The newly promoted True Master of the True Intention Sect, Zhuo Wuyan, is truly formidable. His Primordial Magnetic Evil Light Divine Power has consecutively injured several True Masters from the Profound Celestial Sect and the Golden Sun Sect!"

"Now, Zhuo Wuyan is flaunting his prowess, causing a headache for the Profound Celestial Sect and the Golden Sun Sect."

"Not only has the Sect’s face been lost, but several newly promoted True Masters have all been injured and retreated."

Shen Xuan immediately understood.

Mysterious Trace True Master wants him to fight Zhuo Wuyan.

To use this as a bargaining chip to borrow a Spirit Vein from the Profound Celestial Sect or the Golden Sun Sect.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, as a Golden Core True Master, directly fighting Zhuo Wuyan, wouldn’t it break the rules?"

Mysterious Trace True Master chuckled.

"No one said a Golden Core True Master couldn’t participate. They’re all newly promoted True Masters. If he doesn’t dare fight, he can concede, no one will force him."

Shen Xuan mused silently.

Although the Primordial Magnetic Evil Light is formidable.

His Flesh Body is extremely strong, and he has the protection of the Nine-colored Treasure Lotus, so he’s not afraid at all.

Zhuo Wuyan is just a newly promoted True Pill.

Aside from that Primordial Magnetic Evil Light Divine Power, in other aspects like Spiritual Power, Divine Soul, Divine Sense, and Flesh Body, he is completely overwhelmed by him.

Their magical combat, he has a ninety percent chance of victory.

If he treats those newly promoted True Masters.

Like the Golden Sun Sect’s Sect Leader’s direct disciple, Wen Ruyu.

He could also obtain substantial rewards.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed.

Going to battle is a high-risk activity.

Anything could happen.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, do you have any recordings of Zhuo Wuyan’s magical combat?"
