Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 763: Chapter 654: True Flame Gourd

In the practice room, Shen Xuan consolidates his Core Formation Middle Stage Realm.

The surge in lifespan brings him much peace of mind.

With means to counter Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Shen Xuan is filled with confidence.

Regarding the Nascent Soul Dao, he has gained a few more grasps.

[Other Shore Demon Flower] combined with Profound Ice Treasure Talisman.

This has been his trump card, never yet used.

So to speak.

At this moment, he transforms into a Flood Dragon, invoking [Dragon Blood Boiling].

As long as he cannot be instantly killed, his life is not threatened.

Even facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch, a Demon Infant Ancestor, or a Transformed Great Demon.

He remains confident.

He can escape with his life from their grasp.

At least, he can deter them.

Without making them overly pressuring him.

As for Core Formation Realm True Masters.

Only the likes of Spirit Sword True Master, Mysterious Trace True Master among the Major Sect Core Formation Perfection.

If not using his trump card, they are somewhat stronger than him.

If truly exchanging trump cards, fighting to the death.

It’s roughly a fifty-fifty chance.

"It’s sufficient. Even if the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Yue Country sees through my moves, I need not worry excessively."

With such powerful trump cards present, Shen Xuan fears nothing from the Yueyun Sect.

"Qing Hai True Monarch of Yueyun Sect, renowned for many years, has two or three hundred years of lifespan remaining at most."

"Yes, after mastering [Other Shore Demon Flower], I can expend Qing Hai True Monarch even if exchanging five for one."

As for cultivators of the same tier, not to mention using [Other Shore Demon Flower].

Even if used, exchanging one for one doesn’t deplete much of their lifespan.

"After reaching Core Formation Middle Stage, focus on refining artifact skills."

Pill Talisman Array, Artifact, and Puppet are the four most foundational types among the hundred arts of cultivation.

Strictly speaking, Puppetry Technique is also a branch of Artifact Refining.

Pill Talisman emphasizes individual battle power of cultivators.

Array Artifact can enhance the overall team battle power of cultivators.

Shen Xuan’s mastery of Pill Talisman Array has reached Tier Three.

It’s very difficult to advance further.

The path of Artifact Refining is now laid before him.

He plans to refine Fire Attribute Spiritual Artifacts like Five Fire Seven Birds Fan and True Flame Gourd for himself.

In addition, he believes the mainstream view of warfare on Profound Origin Continent is somewhat biased.

It’s widely believed that High Tier Cultivators decide the outcome of wars.

This view is not entirely wrong.

But it’s limited to small-scale wars.

If the scale of the war is large enough.

The role of Low Tier Cultivators cannot be ignored.

The overall cultivator structure of Profound Origin Continent exhibits a distinct pyramid shape.

One hundred Qi Cultivation cultivators produce one Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Dozens of Foundation Establishments produce one Core Formation.

Among Core Formation Realm, only Core Formation Realm cultivators have a chance to form a Nascent Soul.

A dozen Core Formations produce one Nascent Soul.

Like Foundation Establishment cultivators, before the Core Formation Realm, they’re as insignificant as ants.

Early True Pill Realm has spiritual power several times that of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

One can fight ten effortlessly.

However, if there are enough Foundation Establishment cultivators, with adequate equipment, strong formations.

A dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators can trap and kill an Early True Pill Realm.

As long as cultivation resources are sufficient.

Qi Cultivation cultivators with middle-grade spirit roots have a chance to establish Dao Foundation.

On Profound Origin Continent, countless Qi Cultivation cultivators with middle-grade spirit roots are present.

The majority cannot achieve Foundation Establishment.

It’s not due to their personal talent or insufficient strength.

It’s the lack of Foundation Establishment Pill, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, Spirit Stones, etc.

Many don’t even have the chance to try.

Shen Xuan’s vision has never been limited to Cyan Cloud Sect, nor restricted to Song Country.

Even being the first in Song Country, like Purple Maple True Monarch of Profound Celestial Sect; what of it?

Reaching Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it’s merely surviving a few more years compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators.

Shen Xuan’s vision is no longer confined to Profound Origin Continent.

His original intent has never wavered.

To achieve eternal life and prove the Dao.

Those who obstruct his pursuit of eternal life and the Dao are all adversaries.

Among them, Demon Race stands as the number one enemy.

"Young Master of Golden Spirit Race, the might of Demon Race’s Demon Infant Realm. So what!"

"You dare descend upon Profound Origin Realm, obstructing my path. I’ll turn you into a human stick!"

Shen Xuan practiced in the practice room for over ten days, consolidating his Core Formation Middle Stage Realm.

Upon exiting the chamber.

Qin Yuehan and Shangguan Yan’Er awaited him for days.

They see him invigorated, successfully breaking through; their smiles radiant like flowers, brilliantly bright.

...

After breaking through to Core Formation Middle Stage, Shen Xuan stabilized his cultivation while dedicating more effort to nurturing the treasure gourd spiritual vine in his cave mansion.

Atop the spiritual vine, a fiery red treasure gourd, glowing with brilliance, now bears incredible fire spiritual waves.

Shen Xuan begins using the Spirit-stimulating Secret Technique, a secret from the Demon Wood Sect, continually gathering pure fire Spiritual Qi to nourish the treasure gourd spiritual vine.

Simultaneously, he acquires a large number of Tier Two Fire Attribute Demon Beast remains, burying them beneath the treasure gourd spiritual vine to provide abundant blood and energy.

"The timing is just about right."

Perceiving the treasure gourd has reached a critical stage, Shen Xuan focuses, directly channeling his pure Elixir Core Spirit Fire, gradually infusing it into the treasure gourd.

The treasure gourd quivers slightly, then, like a whale swallowing water, begins actively absorbing the Elixir Core Spirit Fire.

Seeing this, Shen Xuan reveals a satisfied expression on his face.

He no longer hesitates, starting to infuse various anomalous fires he has long collected, following the order from easy to hard, into it one by one.

First comes [Heartburn Demon Fire], [Scarlet Flame Demon Fire], and [Bifang Divine Fire], these three anomalous fires.

Relatively speaking, these three anomalous fires are somewhat gentler.

The treasure gourd gleaming with crimson light, spends three months absorbing and merging these three anomalous fires entirely.

Then comes the higher quality [Scarlet Cloud Origin Fire].

This fire possesses intelligence, making the fusion process noticeably more challenging.

With crimson clouds surging over its surface, heat waves pressing, it takes two months to barely subdue.

When infusing [Solar True Fire], sudden changes occur.

Within the gourd, four types of anomalous fires have already merged, forming a brand-new fierce and violent True Flame, dazzling and radiant.

Solar True Fire is the essence of Supreme Yang and Firm.
