Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 511: Soul Tempering with Divine Thunder
Shen Xuan looked towards the Hidden Image True Master.
Earlier, the Celestial Thunder True Master seemed to speak sincerely.
His words were all for Shen Xuan’s sake.
In fact, Shen Xuan and the Celestial Thunder True Master belong to different factions.
No matter what the Celestial Thunder True Master said, Shen Xuan would not believe it.
However, due to his status, he couldn’t contradict him face to face.
He could only seek help from the Hidden Image True Master.
The Hidden Image True Master frowned slightly, "Junior Brother Celestial Thunder, since Nephew Shen wants to exchange for this technique, according to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion’s rules, first come, first served."
The Celestial Thunder True Master smiled and said, "Senior Brother Hidden Image is right. However, hasn’t the exchange not happened yet?"
"My disciple Lei Yaoxing and Shen Xuan should be applying for the exchange simultaneously, with no priority."
The Hidden Image True Master nodded.
What the Celestial Thunder True Master said, though somewhat opportunistic, had some truth in it.
The atmosphere in the hall became subtly tense.
The Celestial Thunder True Master’s gaze fell onto Shen Xuan again, "Shen Xuan, do you still insist on exchanging for the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique’?"
Shen Xuan glanced at Lei Yaoxing.
He thought for a moment.
His expression was calm as he said, "I’ve thought about it, what Master Celestial Thunder said is very true. This time, I’ll let Junior Brother Lei exchange first."
The techniques exchanged by the sect disciples are all copies.
Shen Xuan wasn’t in a hurry; there was no need to clash with the Celestial Thunder True Master over such a trivial matter.
In his view, although Lei Yaoxing has a Thunder Spirit Root with a solid foundation.
He might not necessarily be able to practice the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique.’
Since he is willing to take such a risk, Shen Xuan naturally wouldn’t obstruct him.
"Master Hidden Image, how long will it take to imprint a copy of the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique’?"
"Three months."
Shen Xuan respectfully handed over his Identity Jade Pendant.
"I am willing to pay the sect contributions in advance to reserve the next copy of the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique.’
"Alright!"
The Hidden Image True Master took the Identity Jade Pendant and deducted thirty thousand sect contributions from it.
It must be said, it is indeed the sect’s ultimate technique, immensely expensive.
A single copy is equivalent to a million Spirit Stones.
Exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills, it could amount to thirty pieces.
Fortunately, Shen Xuan has been refining pills for the sect these years, with considerable sect contributions, having over fifty thousand contribution points, more than enough.
The Hidden Image True Master said, "Lei Yaoxing, bring your Identity Jade Pendant."
Lei Yaoxing wore a bitter expression, looking at the Celestial Thunder True Master.
Apparently, he didn’t have so many sect contribution points.
It seems the Celestial Thunder True Master’s move to get him the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique’ was likely a spur-of-the-moment decision upon hearing some news.
"Transfer from me!"
The Celestial Thunder True Master took out his own Identity Jade Pendant.
The Hidden Image True Master said no more, took the Celestial Thunder True Master’s Identity Jade Pendant, and completed the transfer.
"Master Hidden Image, I shall return to Flying Dragon Island."
Shen Xuan communicated via Divine Soul, "After the Hidden Image Master imprints the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique,’ let True Master Wei Chen bring it along with the sect’s medicinal herbs to Flying Dragon Island."
The Hidden Image True Master nodded slightly.
Shen Xuan cupped his fists, saluted the Hidden Image True Master and Celestial Thunder True Master, then left.
After Shen Xuan left.
The Hidden Image True Master showed an angry expression, "Junior Brother Celestial Thunder, you, a dignified Golden Core, why get into a petty squabble with juniors!"
The Celestial Thunder True Master felt some embarrassment.
The Hidden Image True Master transferred the sect contribution points back.
Threw the Identity Jade Pendant to Lei Yaoxing.
"Hold onto your master’s Identity Jade Pendant!"
"Cultivate well, solidify your foundation, strive to condense the Inner Core. Don’t listen to your master’s nonsense; practice the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique!’"
"You are not fit for it!"
After speaking, the Hidden Image True Master waved his hand, not listening to the Celestial Thunder True Master’s explanations, signaling to send them off.
The Celestial Thunder True Master showed a bitter smile, saluted and left with Lei Yaoxing.
After leaving the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.
Lei Yaoxing asked, "Master, weren’t you supposed to help me exchange for the ’Five Thunders True Method’?"
"In a few days. Senior Brother Hidden Image is angry."
Lei Yaoxing remained silent for a moment.
Feeling somewhat unwilling, he asked, "Will Shen Xuan really be able to practice the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique’?"
The Celestial Thunder True Master glared at Lei Yaoxing.
"Cultivate well, don’t mind others’ affairs!"
"But, disciple wants to try the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique.’ I heard that Master once practiced this technique too."
"No!"
The Celestial Thunder True Master firmly said, "Shen Xuan has an extraordinary talent and might succeed in cultivation. Your cultivation would be nine deaths and one life, a wise man wouldn’t do it!"
...
The conversation between the Celestial Thunder True Master and his disciple was not heard by Shen Xuan.
To him, the ’Purple Firmament Divine Thunder Soul Refining Technique’ is not absolutely necessary.
When cultivating this technique, the Divine Soul is tempered by the Divine Thunder, extremely painful, like being sliced by a thousand blades.
During cultivation, auxiliary protection soul Magical Treasure or soul-stabilizing Elixir is required.
If the Divine Soul cannot endure and loses control, there is a risk of the soul dispersing. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Those lacking strong perseverance cannot cultivate this technique.
It’s easy for the Divine Soul to collapse.
If not considering post-Core Formation cultivation, Shen Xuan even thought of giving it up.
After condensing the Golden Core, he also needs a Divine Soul cultivation technique.
He has absolute confidence in precisely controlling the power of Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, refining the Divine Soul.
To practice this technique to Golden Core Perfection, striving to condense the Nascent Soul.
Shen Xuan returned to Flying Dragon Island.
He summoned Li Ruyi to discuss the matter of refining the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.
This pill is a Tier Three Special Spirit Pill, renowned among Core Formation True Masters, and is one of the top choices for treating soul injuries and enhancing Divine Sense, rare and valuable.
In Li Ruyi’s previous life, she had refined this pill before.
The pill appears light purple, with naturally formed cloud-like patterns on the surface, resembling the fluctuation of the Divine Soul.
After the pill is refined, it emits a purple light, accompanied by a unique aroma that clears the mind and calms the soul.
Consuming this pill can significantly enhance the origin of the Divine Soul, expanding the coverage and strength of Divine Sense.
Like the Life-Extending Pill, the first Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill is the most effective, with diminishing effects upon subsequent consumption.
Most cultivators lose effectiveness after consuming three Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pills.
As her Realm Cultivation improved, Li Ruyi recalled most of her memories from her previous life.
The main materials for the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill are the Soul Nourishing Wood of a thousand years, the Purple Soul Flower of five hundred years, the Soul-Encompassing Tree core powder, Yue Hua essence dew, and lastly, a Tier Three Demon Pill.
The quality of the Demon Pill determines the effect of the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.
Li Ruyi is currently at Soul Foundation Perfection.
With her current Realm Cultivation, she certainly cannot refine the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.
Even with a Pill Formula and inheritance, it’s not possible.
Furthermore, she currently has only an incomplete Pill Formula and inheritance.
If Li Ruyi could condense the Soul Pill and restore all memories, she might try.
Clearly, Shen Xuan cannot wait.
Li Ruyi concentrated and finally remembered.
There is a large Commerce Alliance in Yan Country, named Tengyun Commerce Alliance.
There is a Tier Three Pill Master named Yu Qiuchi in Tengyun Commerce Alliance, who can refine the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.
However, she transferred to Nether Cultivation, which is almost two hundred years since her previous life.
Tengyun Commerce Alliance is surely still around.
Whether the elder Pill Master Yu Qiuchi is still alive is unknown.
Moreover, Yan Country and Song Country are at war.
The scale is gradually expanding.
Although commerce alliances are usually neutral.
After all, Tengyun Commerce Alliance is set up in Yan Country, and will somewhat favor Yan Country.
Song Country cultivators face some danger when visiting the Tengyun Commerce Alliance.
Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi discussed for a while.
The most important ingredient in the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill is the Tier Three Demon Pill.
Shen Xuan possesses Demon Pills from the Flood Dragon and Mountain-carrying Dragon Turtle.
Taking one out to refine the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill is doable.
Thousand-year Soul Nourishing Wood, five-hundred-year Purple Soul Flower, Soul-Encompassing Tree core powder, Yue Hua essence dew, and various auxiliary materials.
Although precious.
If willing to pay the price, they can be acquired.
Tengyun Commerce Alliance itself prepares a large number of spirit medicines, offering them to pill masters, and divides the profits from external alchemy.
Of course, prices are slightly higher than the market.
Similar to Li Ying’an of Lu Country’s Hundred Herbs Sect.
Commerce Alliance pursuing profits is understandable.
Li Ruyi recalls, even if one only has a Tier Three Demon Pill, Tengyun Commerce Alliance will provide the other main and auxiliary materials.
However, after the pill is refined, Tengyun Commerce Alliance will demand considerable compensation.
Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi repeatedly deliberated, and decided to first gather the main and auxiliary materials for the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill.
After cultivating the fourth level of the [White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method], Shen Xuan condensed the Glazed Treasure Body, which inherently strengthens the Divine Soul and enhances Divine Sense.
He also exchanged from the Sect the [Purple Sky Divine Thunder Soul Purification Technique], attempting the Divine Thunder soul purification is worth a try.
Shen Xuan wrote a secret letter to the Demon Lord Wan Meng to inquire about information on Pill Master Yu Qiuchi, Soul Condensing Pills, Soul Condensing spiritual objects, and more at the Tengyun Commerce Alliance in Yan Country.
If Li Ruyi could successfully condense the Soul Pill.
There would be no need to rely on outsiders.
...
Half a year later.
The peak at Island Master Flying Dragon’s main summit.
Shen Xuan set up a small Thunder-Attracting Array here.
It can gather Celestial Thunder when thunderclouds accumulate, channeling it into a Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron placed in the center.
Shen Xuan would then guide the essence of the Celestial Thunder from the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron into his body, using the [Purple Sky Divine Thunder Soul Purification Technique] to purify his Divine Soul.
This method is much safer than directly using the body to attract the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.
It allows precise control of thunder power, enabling it to be smoothly transmitted in, reducing the impact on the body and Divine Soul.
Today is a good Thunderstorm Day.
The sky gradually darkens, thunderclouds gather, and thunders roll in the clouds, radiating a sense of heavenly awe.
Shen Xuan stood beside the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron, manipulating the Thunder-Attracting Rockets to fly toward the thundercloud at a predetermined speed.
Before long, the celestial crystal gold thread on the Thunder-Attracting Rockets emitted dazzling thunder light, transforming into a thick golden thunderlight, injecting the power of Celestial Thunder into the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron.
For Shen Xuan, such a small Thunder-Attracting Array was easily manageable, with no difficulty at all.
The collected Celestial Thunder power, intended for Divine Soul purification, need not be excessive.
At this moment, the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron, transitioning from silver-white to more radiant blue-white, contains intimidating Celestial Thunder power.
Shen Xuan’s face was calm, as he gently placed his hand on the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron.
For other Foundation Establishment cultivators, such contact with Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron could result in death or injury.
But for Shen Xuan, it was trivial.
His [Absolute Thunder Dao Body] is perfected.
To him, this level of Celestial Thunder power poses no harm.
Shen Xuan slightly adjusted his thought, precisely controlling the violent Celestial Thunder power, refining and taming it, turning it into a pure, smoothly flowing godly thunder current, slowly channeling it into his Spirit Sea.
This divine thunder current entered the Spirit Sea without causing any damage.
Shen Xuan sat cross-legged, circulating the [Purple Sky Divine Thunder Soul Purification Technique], guiding the divine thunder current to flow to the Purple Mansion, gently permeating his Divine Soul.
The expected excruciating pain didn’t arise.
Instead, there was a peculiar tingling sensation.
The Divine Soul seemed to be soaking in a hot spring, with numerous subtle electrical currents gently massaging, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
Shen Xuan’s [Absolute Thunder Dao Body] allows him to precisely control the Celestial Thunder power.
After circulating the [Purple Sky Divine Thunder Soul Purification Technique], the destructive nature of the internal Celestial Thunder power is completely stripped away, leaving only the most pure "vitality" and "purification" power.
