Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 748 - 650: Iron-Toothed Thunder Shark

Magical combat, defeating the opponent, rescuing father; Yang Huofeng is experiencing these for the first time.

Who the mysterious antagonist is doesn’t really matter.

Among the Fire Cloud Sect’s Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, there are only about twenty.

Yang Huofeng can vaguely guess.

She needs to thank the adversary for accelerating her growth.

Actually, Shen Xuan did see through that person’s identity.

The masked cultivator is the senior brother of Fire Cloud Sect, Zhong Sumin.

A cultivator’s appearance and stature can be disguised.

However, spiritual power aura is very challenging to alter.

After the escape light flashed, Shen Xuan’s judgment was further confirmed.

"It’s fine. With a thorn in her heart, she’ll become more mature."

Yang Huofeng, after all, is a seventeen-year-old young girl.

What is learned from paper always feels shallow.

Only through experience can one truly understand the treachery of people’s hearts.

Shen Xuan didn’t pay much attention to this incident.

He is merely a guest here.

At most, he will leave the Flame Island in ten years.

However, Ming Shen True Master was extremely shocked after learning this.

The next day, he hurried to Chixia Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, who is the person behind the plot against Yang Huofeng?"

Ming Shen True Master first asked Yang Huofeng, then came to meet Shen Xuan.

"Zhong Sumin."

"How is that possible?"

Ming Shen True Master was in disbelief.

This is his legacy disciple.

The entire Fire Cloud Sect is managed by him.

Shen Xuan didn’t answer, slowly drinking tea, with an indifferent attitude.

"Apologies. I lost composure."

Ming Shen True Master bowed heavily.

The two conversed as equals.

True Master Profound Ice is a Golden Core cultivator.

It would be impossible for him to wrong a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple.

"In this case, I have placed focus on training Yang Huofeng recently, neglecting him."

Ming Shen True Master sighed heavily.

"No."

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

"This person lacks good character, unfit for significant responsibilities."

Ming Shen True Master thought for a moment, didn’t refute, acquiescing to Shen Xuan’s view.

In any case, as the sect’s senior brother, he shouldn’t use such despicable means against his junior sect sister.

If the sect were truly handed over to someone like this, it would be a disaster.

"In the future, I will suitably reduce his authority."

Ming Shen True Master sighed and said.

The remnants of Fire Cloud Sect have few capable individuals to show.

Besides Zhong Sumin, only Zeng Yuyuan is worthy of some respect.

However, Zeng Yuyuan is a female cultivator, her combat power is slightly weaker.

It’s difficult for her to hold the scene.

The others are even less capable than Zeng Yuyuan.

Ming Shen True Master apologized to Shen Xuan.

"It was my oversight, troubling Fellow Daoist Profound Ice."

"It’s just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

"By the way, about the Spirit Stream Secret Realm quota, have you inquired?"

Gathering the True Water of Primordial Origin is Shen Xuan’s top priority.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Profound Ice. I will even sacrifice my face to secure the quota for you."

Ming Shen True Master looked at Shen Xuan and said thoughtfully: "However, the Spirit Stream Secret Realm restricts realm cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Those at Core Formation Realm might face life-threatening punishment from Heavenly Dao’s divine thunder of retribution."

"No problem. I have things that can veil the heavenly secret. I am Shen Haoming, just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Fire Technique practitioner."

Shen Xuan smiled and said.

"Then it’s fine. Sect Leader Qing Xi of Yueyun Sect has invited me for a meeting, which is a good opportunity to bring this up. This matter, leave it to Ming Shen."

Ming Shen True Master solemnly promised.

In this world, there’s no free lunch.

True Master Profound Ice is residing at the Fire Cloud Sect, nurturing Yang Huofeng, and teaching True Techniques of Anomalous Fire.

The Spirit Stream Secret Realm quota is the reward he gives True Master Profound Ice.

Exchange of interests requires no further explanation.

...

A month later.

Ming Shen True Master had met True Master Qing Xi.

"True Master Profound Ice, I’ve discussed with True Master Qing Xi. Our Fire Cloud Sect disciples can participate in the Yue Country Sect competition like Yueyun Sect disciples to obtain the Spirit Stream Secret Realm quota."

"Oh, Yue Country Sect competition?"

"Indeed, the Spirit Stream Secret Realm is Yue Country’s finest Foundation Establishment Realm secret realm. The thirteen sects of Yue Country are qualified to participate in the sect competition. The top three hundred can obtain the Spirit Stream Secret Realm quota."

Merely three hundred quotas.

I wonder how Tian Wenxi got in back then.

"These participants in the sect competition must be vouched for by the respective sects, verifying their origins, barring cultivators, demon cultivators, and tribulation cultivators from outside Yue Country from entering under false pretenses."

Ming Shen True Master smiled faintly: "You are the secret disciple of True Master Primordial Fire, Shen Haoming, naturally eligible to participate."

"However, Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, it is said that those who obtain the secret realm quota mostly are above late-stage Foundation Establishment, many are at Foundation Establishment Perfection."

"Your cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer is quite challenging."

Shen Xuan, unfazed, calmly said: "Brother Ming Shen, thanks for your concern. Isn’t there still more than eight years? With effort, breaking through to Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer is somewhat promising."

"Seven years. The sect competition will be held more than a year early."

"Then breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer in seven years."

Shen Xuan took a sip of spirit tea, speaking leisurely.

In addition to refining True Master Primordial Fire’s Golden Core, extending some fire technique practice time.

For him, spending a bit more time and effort, his Dao Foundation Spirit Sea breaking through to Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer is effortless.

"Then that’s reliable."

Ming Shen True Master said with emotion.

In his view, True Master Profound Ice’s practice in fire techniques is time-consuming and laborious, somewhat unwise.

However, True Master Profound Ice is a Golden Core cultivator.

Retaining hope for the Nascent Soul Path.

Perhaps True Master Profound Ice has deeper intentions.

In terms of cultivation, Ming Shen True Master is not qualified to instruct him.

As long as True Master Profound Ice remains on Flame Island, Fire Cloud Sect rests easy.

Yang Huofeng won’t encounter trouble, safely growing.

After rescuing Yang Yunfan, Shen Xuan relaxed Yang Huofeng’s restrictions.

She was allowed to leave Chixia Peak and move around Flame Island.

But she could not leave Flame Island.
