Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 769: Chapter 655: Yue Country Grand Tournament

Shen Xuan’s performance once again caught the attention of the sect leaders on the podium.

This time, even True Master Qing Xi of Yueyun Sect was intrigued.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, why haven’t I heard of Shen Ruochen before?"

"Shen Ruochen is very reclusive and rarely interacts with others."

"Oh, who’s his mentor?"

The Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect looked somewhat embarrassed.

"He used to follow a tributor on Tianya Mountain from the Huang Family. Half a year ago, he joined my discipleship."

"I see."

True Master Qing Xi nodded and asked no further questions.

The Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect was determined to protect.

Even if there are suspicions, he cannot investigate.

All are sect leaders from Yue Country.

The basic rules between them must still be observed.

...

This time, it was not until nightfall that Tang Roulan knocked on Shen Xuan’s door.

"Senior Brother Shen, these are the rules for tomorrow’s tournament."

Tang Roulan handed over a Jade Scroll, her face visibly pale.

The daytime tournament had worn her out.

Shen Xuan took the Jade Scroll and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

Tomorrow is the draw.

Cultivators will pair up for magical combat.

No matches with fellow sect brothers.

Shen Xuan glanced at Tang Roulan.

"Junior Sister Tang, you don’t need to worry. Even if it’s a draw, they take into account the performance of the previous rounds."

"But..."

Tang Roulan looked conflicted: "Senior Brother Shen, my performance in the previous rounds was quite average."

"Hmm."

Shen Xuan asked, "Didn’t the Sect Leader give you any magical items for the matches?"

The rules of the tournament do not limit the use of Magical Treasures, Talismans, or Spirit Pills.

A person like Tang Roulan would certainly have a trump card.

Otherwise, just relying on her strength as a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Water Cultivator, it would be difficult to defeat opponents in the tournament.

Most likely, during the draw, it will be lenient towards her.

They might select a weaker opponent for her.

"There is one Treasure Talisman. However, Roulan has to exert all her effort to activate it."

"What are you worried about then?"

Tang Roulan nodded heavily.

"Worried, Roulan is quite worried. They are all strong."

Shen Xuan glanced at Tang Roulan.

The two spoke at the front of the room.

Shen Xuan had not allowed Tang Roulan into the room.

"Come in."

Tang Roulan entered the room.

Shen Xuan closed the door.

This was the Xuanfa Sect’s own inn.

Security and privacy were ensured.

Even so.

Shen Xuan took out a set of Array Flags and set up a Shield Array in the room.

Tang Roulan stared at Shen Xuan in surprise.

"I’ve troubled Junior Sister Tang these days."

Shen Xuan’s expression was calm, as he took out an ice crystal jade bracelet.

"This is a protective treasure given to me by an elder in my family, known as Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet."

"As long as you input Water Spiritual Power, you can activate the Phantom Ice Fish inside."

"Phantom Ice Fish can transform into various weapons for attack, and can also turn into Profound Ice Iron Wall."

"Inside, there are ninety-nine Phantom Ice Fish, enough for your use for some time."

This was a Tier Two Magical Treasure Shen Xuan crafted in his free time using his own Primordial Ice Spiritual Power.

Consider it a practice of his Artifact Refining Skill.

This Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet was one of the few high-quality products among his works.

Tang Roulan had been gathering information about the tournament for him.

Although Shen Xuan didn’t need it.

However, Tang Roulan didn’t know.

The intention was good.

Shen Xuan considered it a return of the favor.

"Ah, Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet? Roulan can use it."

"Go back and try it. By the way, besides the Sect Leader, don’t mention this to anyone."

Shen Xuan waved his hand to withdraw the Shield Array.

Then, opened the door with an expression of sending off guests.

Tang Roulan saluted Shen Xuan.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen."

Politely left Shen Xuan’s room.

She didn’t return to her own room.

Instead, she directly went to the Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect.

Shen Xuan’s expression was calm, as he took out a cold ice-imbued Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet and handed it to Tang Roulan.

"This item is called Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet, an heirloom protective treasure from my elder."

"You just need to inject Water Spiritual Power to activate the nine Phantom Ice Fish sealed inside."

"These fish can transform at will, attack as ice blades, defend as Profound Ice Spiritual Wall, enough for your use in this tournament."

This Jade Bracelet was actually Shen Xuan’s casual practice in Artifact Refining, infused with a strand of pure Primordial Ice Spiritual Power, considered a high-quality product among many trial works.

Tang Roulan had been collecting tournament information for him recently.

Although Shen Xuan didn’t need it.

However, Tang Roulan wasn’t aware.

The intention was good.

Shen Xuan considered it a return of the favor.

Moreover, Tang Roulan was quite lucky.

She is a Water Cultivator.

The attributes of the Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet match her needs perfectly.

"Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet?"

Tang Roulan was initially stunned, but then her beautiful eyes lit up with joy, quickly accepting it with both hands.

It felt cold to the touch.

With a slight Divine Sense scan, she could perceive the pure ice power imbued within the bracelet.

Full of spiritual vitality.

Tang Roulan gracefully bowed: "Roulan thanks Senior Brother Shen for the treasure!"

"Hmm, go back and ritualize it well. Remember, besides the Sect Leader Master Uncle, don’t mention it to others."

Shen Xuan waved to remove the soundproofing prohibition.

The door quietly opened, clearly indicating to send off guests.

Tang Roulan immediately understood and thanked him solemnly: "Roulan understands, thanks to Senior Brother Shen!"

She carefully put away the bracelet and gracefully left Shen Xuan’s room.

After leaving Shen Xuan’s room, Tang Roulan didn’t return to her residence but went directly to the Sect Leader’s dwelling.

In the quiet room, True Master Sect Leader accepted the bracelet, with a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

With his Golden Core Cultivation, a slight probe was enough to sense the extraordinary nature of the Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet.

"The refining method isn’t especially exquisite, but the ice power contained within is exceptional, pure and substantial, surpassing ordinary magical treasures."

He extended a finger to input a strand of Water Spiritual Power as a test.

"Buzz."

A vividly translucent Phantom Ice Fish leapt out, swimming in the air.

The room temperature plummeted.

The Sect Leader’s Divine Thought slightly moved.

The Phantom Ice Fish instantly elongated and shaped into a three-foot ice sword, radiating cold light, with intimidating Sword Qi.
