Chapter 1042 - 723: Calamity Without Cause
The remaining elixirs, talismans, and various materials were sorted and categorized one by one.
An hour later, everything was inventoried and stored.
Shen Xuan exhaled lightly, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Killing people and setting fires lead to gold waistbands. Such harvests come much faster than burying oneself in alchemy."
He is now a Tier Three Upper Grade Pill Master.
Even if he refines a Golden Transformation Pill, a furnace requires two months of hard work, and the apparent profit is only two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Shen Xuan glanced over the arranged items, feeling slightly disappointed.
"A shopkeeper backed by the Nascent Soul Commerce Association, who has been in business for years, a veteran Tribulation Cultivator who kills and loots, with not a single true rare treasure in the Storage Pouch? Itβs all just ordinary goods."
In fact, this cannot be blamed on them.
It can only be said that now Shen Xuanβs vision has improved.
Ordinary Tier Three Spiritual Objects no longer catch his eye.
"Well, itβs better than nothing."
Shen Xuan tidied up, got up, and left the secret chamber, coming to the side of the Flowing Frost Cold Soul Tea grove.
He took the corpse-nurturing Black Gourd from his waist, pulled out the stopper, and buried the two skeletons under the Spiritual Soil beneath the tea trees.
A dozen or so Flowing Frost Cold Soul Tea Trees emitted strands of cold aura.
Their roots sprouted dozens of tendrils, swiftly entangling the two skeletons.
The branches and leaves of the tea trees swayed slightly without wind.
The crystalline leaves grew brighter, and tender buds secretly sprouted and unfurled at the tips of the branches.
"Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil. I suppose I have been fair to you, giving you a tree burial."
This was also why Shen Xuan specially planted the Flowing Frost Cold Soul Tea.
He could not waste the corpses of those cultivators and demon beasts.
After handling these, Shen Xuan called over the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, instructing it to guard the place.
The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse gently nuzzled his arm, snorting happily.
"Keep a good watch, and alert immediately if there is any disturbance."
Shen Xuan patted its long neck.
The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse neighed softly, nodding, its eyes flashing with Spiritual Light, indicating understanding.
With everything arranged, Shen Xuan returned to the Practice Room.
He sat cross-legged, calming his mind and focusing, taking out the Ancient Jade Scroll of the Tai Chi Primordial Technique, which was missing a corner.
He slowly immersed his Divine Sense into it.
"Tai Chi gives birth to the Two Elements, Primordial returns to Infinity..."
The ancient Daoist writings flowed through his heart, expounding on the supreme principles of Yin and Yang interdependence, chaos returning to unity.
Each word was a gem, profound and obscure.
"In refining to the deep level, one may assimilate Spiritual Power, transform Demon Essence, merge Demon Power, even draw the Power of Stars, and return these to oneself..."
"Involves the original laws, impervious to all methods, untouched by any evil..."
"The cycle of the Heavenly Dao is endless, a blend of rigidity and softness, a dynamic balance..."
In his previous life, Shen Xuan had studied the principles of Tai Chi Yin and Yang. In this life, his perspective and knowledge far surpassed those of his peers. When the two were verified together, his understanding of this Spell far exceeded that of True Master Mingyang.
However, the more he comprehended, the more he felt the vastness and depth within, as boundless as a sea.
Many key points required repeated contemplation, consuming mental energy.
Unconsciously, an hour passed.
Shen Xuan slowly withdrew his Divine Sense, revealing a tired expression.
In the depths of his eyes, a spiritual radiance flickered.
His thoughts were in an excited state.
"As expected, this ancient Mystic Sectβs true method pointing directly to the Great Dao is indeed wondrous and unfathomable."
Shen Xuan murmured to himself, with amazement and a hint of satisfaction.
On the Mysterious Jade Talisman, a new line of small golden text appeared.
[Divine Power: Tai Chi Primordial Technique Entry Level (1/100)]
ππΏπππ ππππ¨πππ.ππ π
Spending an hour, consuming considerable Power of the Divine Soul, barely at entry level, with just a bit of experience.
"The road is long and arduous..."
Shen Xuan smiled slightly, not discouraged, but rather felt a sense of exploration and ascending step by step.
Even if it is slow, as long as there is positive feedback and progress, it is good.
Shen Xuan took out two Ice Soul Spirit Crystals, holding them in his palm, and crushed them to replenish his Divine Soul and Spiritual Power.
Todayβs cultivation task was not yet complete and allowed no laxity.
Especially the technique derived from the Demon Flame Cloud Leopard, [Flame Cloud Demon Body].
It was not an easy task to elevate it to the level comparable with [Nirvana Phoenix Body].
After resting for a while.
Shen Xuan took a deep breath, activated the Mysterious Jade Talisman, and continued refining the Essence Blood of the Demon Flame Cloud Leopard.
