Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

This [Netherworld Purifying Purple Flame], its allure is limited for him.

Eventually, his gaze settled on [Heaven-Burning Fire Domain].

This Technique can form a high-temperature fire domain around the body, not only enhancing the power of fire techniques but also creating an atmosphere conducive to fire technique cultivation.

It would be greatly beneficial for him to condense the Fire Technique Golden Core next.

"It shall be this."

With a thought, the Jade Talisman’s golden light flowed, selection complete.

[Talent: Heaven-Burning Fire Domain (1/100)]

[Dao Rhyme: 2695756]

"Only one progress point initially, huh..."

Shen Xuan glanced at the fragments of the refined Demon Pill, roughly consuming one percent.

Yet it suffices for Entry Level.

Looking at the Dao Rhyme Points again, one refinement increased by eight thousand points.

By this calculation, the entire Demon Pill, when fully refined, would provide about eight hundred thousand Dao Rhymes.

"Quite a fruitful harvest."

His heart settled slightly.

At this moment, he uses the Fire Technique Dao Foundation to refine the Purple-eyed Chi Dragon Demon Pill.

Though assisted by the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus.

After all, the Dao Foundation Magical Power is limited, it’s understandable to spend a bit more effort.

If he can use this Demon Pill, to cultivate the [Heaven-Burning Fire Domain] to Great Success, the success rate of condensing the Fire Technique Golden Core could increase by at least two notches.

The Mysterious Jade Talisman has a ten-day cooldown period after refining the Purple-eyed Chi Dragon Demon Pill.

To refine the whole Demon Pill, it would take three years.

This speed is acceptable.

With his current lifespan nearing nine hundred years, he can completely afford to wait.

The key to Shen Xuan’s future Dao path lies in the mutual coexistence of water and fire, the intermingling of dragon and tiger.

And he has already forged the Primordial Ice Technique Golden Core.

This means the quality of the Fire Technique Golden Core must not be low.

The two must be evenly matched, maintaining a balanced state.

Otherwise, imbalance between water and fire could easily lead to a self-destructive explosion.

The Dao path is boundless, the will of heaven unpredictable.

At his level of Realm Cultivation, each step is like walking on thin ice.

To reach the other shore and prove the Nascent Soul Grand Dao is already a rare feat.

...

Time flows, three years swiftly pass.

Shen Xuan is deeply secluded at Dongming Mountain, focused on cultivation, disregarding outside affairs.

In the Practice Room, the last trace of purple, gleaming Demon Pill fragment, under the nurturing refinement of the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus, finally completely dissipated.

[Lifespan: 230/890]

[Talent: Heaven-Burning Fire Domain Entry Level (12/100)]

[Dao Rhyme: 3486688]

Since acquiring the [Heaven-Burning Fire Domain] Talent, Shen Xuan has tried activating it a few times.

Once deployed, within three meters around him, the temperature rises sharply, the air twists, as if transforming into an invisible, scorching fire domain.

Being inside, the power he exerts with fire techniques, along with his control, clearly improves.

As the skill level of this Talent increases, its range of influence and amplifying effect will gradually strengthen.

Shen Xuan discovers it’s not too difficult to gain experience in enhancing this Talent Skill.

By activating it a few times a day, the skill level on the Mysterious Jade Talisman would naturally increase.

The shortcomings are equally obvious.

It extremely consumes Spiritual Power, akin to activating the "ultimate move" mode from a game in a past life, consuming Spiritual Power at an astonishing rate.

Unless it’s a life-and-death confrontation, it shouldn’t be easily used.

Time is the best harmonizer.

Unconsciously, Shen Xuan has been residing at the Liu Family of Dongming Mountain for over three years.

Initially, several Liu Family Tributors and Honored Guests invited him for small gatherings.

After rejecting these invitations three or four times, they stopped bothering him.

Nowadays, the most frequent visitors to his Cave Mansion are Liu Yiyun and Fragrant Grass.

Compared to his own disciple’s lively personality, Fragrant Grass is much more docile and serene.

In three and a half years, she has made progress in cultivating the [Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation].

She just stepped into the middle stage of Body Refining, her physique far surpassing before.

A female who can evenly match male cultivators of the same tier in the Liu family.

This made her realize instantly that the Body Refining Technique taught by Master Guo was not ordinary.

Feeling grateful for this, Fragrant Grass became increasingly dedicated to caring for Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan’s energy, apart from refining the Demon Pill and cultivating fire techniques.

The rest of the time is spent on improving the [Puppet Divine Eagle].

Nowadays, it’s no secret at the Liu family that he can craft Tier Two Puppet Beasts.

Liu Yiyun handles the errands of procuring various puppet materials.

With the Liu Family’s channel assistance, even a small amount of Tier Three Puppet Materials can be limitedly acquired.

Thanks to this, his [Puppet Divine Eagle] has iterated several times, greatly increasing in power.

"Little White, come quickly! See what good things I’ve brought you!"

Every time Liu Yiyun visits, the first thing she does is try to tempt the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse.

Nowadays, the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse has restrained its mystical nature, the silver horn retracting, the colorful wings hidden, its Demon Power completely concealed.

It appears to be just a slightly purer bloodline ordinary Celestial Horse.

In Qin Country, a Celestial Horse of such appearance is not considered rare.

Liu Yiyun takes out the favorite Blue Spirit Grass of Qin Country Celestial Horses, approaching it.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse snorts, emitting a stream of air, forcing Liu Yiyun to retreat several steps.

As usual, such ordinary Spirit Grass hardly captures its attention.

"Hmph!"

Liu Yiyun sulkily tossed away the Spirit Grass, turned to find Shen Xuan, and complained: "Master, your mount, its temper is bigger than a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s!"

"Don’t provoke it in the future." Shen Xuan sternly.

Liu Yiyun has several times attempted to lure the Celestial Horse, wanting it to carry her out for show, strictly forbidden by Shen Xuan.

Even though the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse is disguised, it only deceams ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

If one encounters a True Master above the Fake Pill Realm, a little attentiveness will reveal its extraordinary bloodline.

"Miss, please stop." Fragrant Grass softly advised while wiping the table: "Master Guo is not pleased."

Her lady remains unchanged.

Even after advancing to the Golden Body Realm, becoming a Tier Two cultivator, her lively personality remains.

Master Guo clearly cherishes this Celestial Horse.

As disciples, how could they, without permission, entertain thoughts about master’s mount?
