Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 683 - 634: Preaching the Dao

The dawn was breaking.

In front of the bulletin boards of Starlight Immortal City and various market areas, throngs of people gathered noisily.

Several notices written in spiritual ink sparked lively discussions among the crowd.

The content of the notices was clear and direct.

True Master Profound Ice, the Island Master, feeling grateful to the Heavenly Dao and sympathetic to the arduous path of loose cultivators, would hold a lecture under the Purple Grotto Divine Tree on the island in a month’s time to impart his cultivation insights.

Registered cultivators of Starlight Island, upon presenting their identity jade tokens, could attend the inner circle to listen to the true techniques by paying ten low-grade spirit stones.

Outside friends, with guarantees from three registered island cultivators and a payment of twenty low-grade spirit stones, could sit in the outer circle to listen and resolve their doubts.

The announcement immediately caused a stir on Starlight Island.

"Ten spirit stones. Ten spirit stones just to listen to a lecture? That’s too expensive."

A middle-aged Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator couldn’t help but exclaim, looking pained.

Ten spirit stones could cover a year’s rent in the market area.

An older cultivator shouted: "Stop spouting nonsense! This is a lecture given personally by True Master Profound Ice, the Island Master."

"The Island Master’s divine powers are vast, and with an Ice Technique Golden Core, how can an ordinary cultivator compare? Such an opportunity, and you’re quibbling over a few spirit stones? What kind of Daoist technique are you cultivating!"

"What Wang Lao said is very true."

Another person chimed in: "The Island Master is always generous. How could he care about these spirit stones? Techniques are not given lightly. The ten spirit stones are for us to cherish this opportunity and not neglect it."

"Haha, we only need ten spirit stones. External friends, their price is doubled, and they need three sponsors."

Someone said with a laugh.

This discussion echoed the thoughts of many cultivators.

Starlight Island was becoming increasingly prosperous.

Registered cultivators enjoyed various affordable benefits, and they were prioritized for many job positions.

As long as one was willing to work, even with average talent, they could lead a decent life.

This also raised the demand and points needed for residency registration on Starlight Island.

To these island cultivators, a Golden Core True Master was like a giant figure among the clouds.

In ordinary medium-sized sects, a Golden Core True Master is the foremost individual.

Most of them are at the Qi Cultivation Stage and rarely even see a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Let alone having the opportunity to listen to a Golden Core True Master impart wisdom.

For them, this was a rare opportunity and benefit.

A few days after the notice was posted.

The matter of True Master Profound Ice holding a lecture and imparting techniques quickly spread across the surrounding seas and immortal islands.

It even reached the inner sect of the Profound Celestial Sect.

In the following days, Starlight Immortal City became livelier than usual.

Every day, new escape lights descended on the port with more and more external cultivators flocking to the city.

The twenty spirit stones could be gathered somehow.

But finding three sponsors from the island itself was not easy.

According to the regulations of Starlight Island, each island cultivator could only guarantee one person.

Suddenly, the value of the sponsorship qualification skyrocketed, turning into spirit stones.

The price soared, starting at ten spirit stones.

This essentially allowed island cultivators to listen to the lecture for free.

On this day, several sharp sword lights flew down from the sky, landing at the gates of Starlight Immortal City.

As the sword lights receded, they revealed several cultivators dressed in uniform yellow daoist robes, exuding an imposing aura, with cultivation levels at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At the forefront was a man with a steady demeanor and eyes like lightning; the spiritual glow within the jade pendant at his waist was contained.

"Brother Mingyang, why are there so many rules for True Master Profound Ice’s lecture? Isn’t this Starlight Island our Profound Celestial Sect’s Dao field?"

Behind him, a young disciple asked.

"Don’t speak recklessly. This island is temporarily lent to True Master Profound Ice by the sect. True Master Profound Ice has a fiery temperament. Don’t cause trouble here. Otherwise, if it gets out, it would not reflect well on the master and the sect."

These individuals were direct disciples of True Masters from the Profound Celestial Sect.

Upon hearing of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Golden Core Profound Ice True Master holding a lecture, they had come specifically to Starlight Island to listen.

After registering, they entered the city, drawing the attention of nearby loose cultivators.

Their uniform yellow daoist robes revealed their identities.

The crowd secretly marveled.

For the Island Master’s lecture, even direct disciples of True Masters from the Profound Celestial Sect had arrived.

...

Cold Ice Cave, Practice Room.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged, his aura around him like an abyss.

He spent a month stabilizing the newly acquired Nirvana Phoenix Body.

For this entire month, he focused all his energy on activating the Nirvana Phoenix Body, using his own elixir core essence blood to wash over it repeatedly, increasing the skill level and experience value of the Nirvana Phoenix Body.

Finally, he elevated the Dao Body, containing the true meaning of the Phoenix Nirvana, from the initial entry-level to a state of ease of operation.

Shen Xuan’s divine thought gently stirred.

His skin subtly transformed into circulating red-gold divine patterns, exuding a heat akin to burning heavens and boiling oceans.

At this moment, Shen Xuan could sense that his affinity with and control over fire spiritual power surpassed that of ordinary Fire Technique Foundation Establishments.

"Heavenly Dao rewards diligence, but the premise is to have extraordinary talent!"

"Otherwise, just blindly practicing hard will ultimately lead to nothing."

Shen Xuan pondered in his heart.

With the Phoenix Body initially formed, it was perfect for tempering the Divine Flame.

In the future, when traveling the outside world, he could disguise himself as a Fire Technique Foundation Establishment Cultivator to avoid many disputes.

"My Fire Technique inheritance is the Golden Sun Sect’s Nine Revolutions Fiery Sun Technique. Each revolution can incorporate a type of Divine Flame."

"The technique is the Pure Yang True Fire Formula, cultivating Pure Yang Spiritual Power capable of burning everything, scorching heaven and earth."

"Coincidentally, I have a small cluster of Golden Crow True Flame in my possession."

"However, in terms of power, the Celestial Thunder Tribulation Flame seems more suitable."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and decided to refine the Celestial Thunder Tribulation Flame first.

Concentrating intently, he formed a seal with his hands, carefully drawing out a piece of charred black deadwood from a jade box filled with upper-grade fire spirit stones.
