Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 821: Chapter 668: A Perfect Match

"Wait until we leave the Golden Dragon Island waters, then we’ll deal with it."

He couldn’t afford to waste such a long time on the journey.

However, since this ship relied mainly on wind for power, its speed had reached its limit. To go faster, unless he...

He could transform into a Divine Dragon, dragging the ship along with his dragon body.

Or simply use the technique of Soaring Clouds and Mist to carry these hundred or so people through the air.

However, doing so would be too demeaning, harming his identity and image as a Golden Core True Master.

He needed a more reliable and "conventional" way to accelerate.

Returning to the spacious cabin prepared especially for him, Shen Xuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing.

Not long after, the cabin door was gently knocked upon.

Standing at the door was Long Xiaoyun.

She was still in her crisp black outfit, her expression stern.

"Does Fellow Daoist Long have something to discuss?"

Long Xiaoyun first bowed, then said, "Yes, True Master Shen, Xiaoyun has something to ask you."

"Come in."

The two of them sat facing each other by a low table.

Shen Xuan took out a set of White Jade Tea Set, moved his fingertips slightly, and injected a strand of extremely cold Spiritual Power into the clear water in the pot, then picked up a few frost-white leaves of Frost Spirit Tea and put them in.

Very soon, wisps of white steam rose from the pot, and a refreshing and invigorating tea aroma spread.

He poured a cup for Long Xiaoyun.

The tea soup was a pale jade color, and a delicate frost pattern quickly condensed on the cup walls.

Long Xiaoyun picked it up and carefully took a sip.

As the tea entered her throat, it first brought a coolness that reached the Divine Soul, then transformed into a gentle Spiritual Power, spreading through her entire body.

A hint of surprise appeared on Long Xiaoyun’s face, and then it turned into delight.

"This tea is called Frost Spirit Tea, and it has effects of calming the mind, nourishing the spirit, and aiding in enlightenment. If you like it, Fellow Daoist Long, I’ll give you a jar later."

He had prepared plenty of this Spirit Tea.

In the past few years, moving around in the Long Family Stronghold, this was the gift he gave the most.

"Thank you, True Master Shen!"

Long Xiaoyun said with a joyful smile.

A childlike and pure smile appeared.

Shen Xuan asked, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

Long Xiaoyun looked a bit embarrassed.

Hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "True Master Shen, on the mainland, there are numerous Sects with profound Cultivation Techniques. Is there a way to reconsolidate a Fake Pill?"

Shen Xuan was taken aback for a moment.

Even among the six Major Sects of Song Country.

Less than thirty percent could form a Fake Pill.

In his opinion.

Long Xiaoyun wasn’t very old.

To reach the Fake Pill Realm on Golden Dragon Island, with its poor Spiritual Qi, was not easy.

Of the four cultivation elements — resources, companions, techniques, and environment — she didn’t have an advantage in any.

Faced with Long Xiaoyun’s look of expectation.

"In our Cyan Cloud Sect, there’s definitely no such Secret Technique."

"Even if other Major Sects in Song Country have it, it would be the most closely guarded secret of the Sect, never shared lightly."

Shen Xuan pondered, saying: "However, the Demon Race and some Demon Dao Sects seem to have such Secret Techniques. I have paid some attention to this before, but haven’t collected any as of now."

This was the truth.

His Dao partner Qin Yuehan was at the Fake Pill Realm.

Shen Xuan indeed had secretly paid attention to such Secret Techniques.

Not to continue cultivating to testify the Great Dao of Nascent Soul.

Just purely for the sake of extending longevity.

A few years ago, in the Spirit Stream Secret Realm, he specially interrogated Niu Dali and Ding Chunhua about the method of reconsolidating a shattered pill.

He learned that performing this technique requires being at the Nascent Soul Realm or above.

And it carried certain risks.

A glimpse of disappointment flashed in Long Xiaoyun’s eyes.

Shen Xuan shifted the focus of his words.

"The ways of the Demon Race and Demon Sects are often extreme, with significant hidden dangers, not suitable for us Spirit Cultivators. If we could find suitable Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, combined with the personal aid of a Nascent Soul expert, with their supreme Magical Power, there might be a way to further solidify the Fake Pill into a True Pill."

"Hmm."

Long Xiaoyun responded, remaining unchanged in expression.

As if she already knew, and was not surprised.

This also confirmed Shen Xuan’s guess.

There indeed existed a powerful Nascent Soul Realm entity on Golden Dragon Island.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate a Fake Pill Cultivator like Long Xiaoyun in such an environment.

"May I ask how old you are this year, Fellow Daoist Long?"

Shen Xuan suddenly asked.

Long Xiaoyun gave him a glance, her tone somewhat weak: "Almost seventy."

The hand Shen Xuan held his teacup with shook slightly.

A Fake Pill True Master not even seventy years old!

Such talent, such progress, would be regarded as a core True Inheritance in any Major Sect of Song Country.

She was trapped on this isolated overseas island, in such poor conditions, forming a Fake Pill.

At this time, Long Xiaoyun lifted her eyes, looking at him with sparkling gaze, asking: "True Master Shen, have you ever heard of the method to transform a True Pill into a Golden Core?"

"No!"

Shen Xuan replied so decisively this time, blurting it out.

Being able to solidify a Fake Pill into a True Pill is already a heaven-defying act of seizing the creation of heaven and earth, still needing the intervention of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Transform a True Pill further into a Golden Core?

He had never even heard of it!

"Ah, such trouble."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment on Long Xiaoyun’s face could no longer be concealed.

Shen Xuan did not ask further.

Everyone has their own secrets and obsessions.

The more you know about such matters, the deeper the causal entanglement, and it’s better not to provoke it.

He stood up, retrieved a sealed jade jar from his Storage Pouch, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Long Xiaoyun.

"Take this jar of Frost Spirit Tea, Fellow Daoist Long."

Giving a jar of Spirit Tea was already an expression of his goodwill and generosity.

Any more would be excessive.

...

Several days later.

The large iron pearwood ship sailed out of the five-hundred-mile area surrounding Golden Dragon Island.

Here, they had already left the range of the Long Family Stronghold’s influence and control.

The color of the sea became deeper, and the scent mingled with the sea breeze carried a hint of wildness and unrest.

Shen Xuan stood alone on the deck at the bow of the ship, gazing into the northwest direction where Starlight Island was situated.
