Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 23



The Greatest Gains

With Jiang Chengxuan’s current cultivation, if he chose to use the Divine Light of the Arctic, in theory, he could use it twice, but in fact, he could only use it once at most.

After all, he couldn’t use up all his True Essence in battle.

That was simply courting death.

If anything happened, he would not even have a chance to escape.

Therefore.

With his current cultivation, once he decided to use the Divine Light of the Arctic, he would only use it once at most.

If Shen Ruyan couldn’t seize the opportunity he created for her, he would have to consider retreating.

Shen Ruyan clearly did not expect Jiang Chengxuan to send her a voice transmission. Hearing this, she was distracted for a moment and was almost hit by the python.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and dodged at the critical moment.

She nooded at Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan found an opportunity to make a seal with both hands while the python was attacking Shen Ruyan.

Buzz!

In an instant, white rays suddenly spewed out of Jiang Chengxuan’s hands.

There was no sound.

The python, which was attacking Shen Ruyan crazily, did not have time to react at all. Its huge body was immediately hit by the rays.

Crack, crack—

In the blink of an eye, the body of the python was covered in a layer of frost.

It couldn’t move.

Seeing this, Shen Ruyan’s eyes widened.

“This is… the perfected Divine Light of the Arctic!”

As a Foundation Establishment Realm elder of the Shen Immortal family, Shen Ruyan was naturally very familiar with this mid-grade Level 2 spell.

She knew how difficult it was to cultivate this mid-grade Level 2 spell to Perfection.

However…

How long had it been since Jiang Chengxuan obtained this spell?

At most, it was only three years, right?

Moreover, during these three years, he had to consolidate the new realm and change to a new cultivation technique for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The time he had to cultivate a spell was even shorter.

How did he do it?

Could it be that he was actually a rare spell genius?

Many thoughts flashed across Shen Ruyan’s mind but she quickly pulled herself together.

A flying sword with traces of lightning appeared on the head of the python.

It was one of Shen Ruyan’s treasures, a Level 2 high-grade lightning-element flying sword.

It was called Curse Light.

With a whoosh, Curse Light slashed into the python’s body. Before the python could break free from the layers of frost, it was split into two.

“Roar!”

An extremely miserable cry resounded through the skies.

Immediately after, with a bang, two sections of the python corpse fell heavily on the hill, creating two huge pits.

Fortunately, it did not hurt the silver osmanthus tree.

Otherwise, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would really suffer a huge loss this time.

They looked at each other.

Shen Ruyan said, “Elder Jiang, it’s all thanks to you just now.

If not for you, it would probably be very difficult for us to protect ourselves, let alone kill this evil beast today.”

She was not exaggerating.

It was unlikely for a high-grade Level 2 demon beast to kill them.

However, it was not a problem for it to injure them.

Jiang Chengxuan originally thought that Shen Ruyan would ask him about how he cultivated the Divine Light of the Arctic to Perfection.

He had even thought of an explanation.

In the end, Shen Ruyan did not mention this at all. Instead, she talked about his contributions in this battle.

This made Jiang Chengxuan heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn’t help but have a better impression of Shen Ruyan.

He smiled and shook his head.

“Elder Ruyan, you flatter me. You’re the one who really made a great contribution. I just offered a small help.”

“Hehe, Elder Jiang, you’re really humble.”

Shen Ruyan smiled and continued, “Alright, let’s not compliment each other. In short, we’ll split whatever gains we obtained today as agreed upon.”

At this point, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but turn to look at the silver osmanthus tree.

“Actually, compared to the silver osmanthus tree that’s about to advance to a low-grade Level 2 spiritual root and the Level 2 spiritual vein that’s about to be nurtured from it, the contributions for killing the demon beasts are nothing.

They are the greatest gains for you and me on this mission.”

Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart skipped a beat.

He knew very well how valuable the things Shen Ruyan was talking about was.

It was not an exaggeration to say that a Level 2 spiritual vein that was about to be nurtured and a spiritual root that was about to advance to the low-grade of Level 2 were completely enough to support a Foundation Establishment Realm family or sect.

The gains were too great.

It was so great that it was enough to make two close friends fall out.

It could even cause two Foundation Establishment Realm families to start a war.

Therefore, at this moment, it was impossible for Jiang Chengxuan not to be on guard.

He was even prepared for the worst.

At the same time, he was also considering whether he should leave the Shen Immortal family while he was safe.

If they were greedy and wanted to harm him, he would really be in danger.

He would not take risks, nor could he let himself be in such an environment where he could die at any time.

This was the principle he adhered to for the past hundred years. It was also the main reason why he could survive in the cultivation world.

“Elder Jiang, are you worried about something?”

Suddenly, Shen Ruyan turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan was shocked.

However, before he could reply, Shen Ruyan continued,

“Are you worried that the Shen Immortal family will harm you because of this Level 2 spiritual vein and Level 2 spiritual root?”

After saying that, Shen Ruyan gave him a reassuring smile.

“I can’t say for certain what others will do, but in the Shen Immortal family, nothing like this will happen.

This is because it’s a rule set by our Violet Palace Ancestor a long time ago. It’s also the foundation upon which the Shen Immortal family thrives in the cultivation world of the Yun Nation.

Back then, the reason why you chose to join the Shen Immortal family is probably not only because of the offers, but also because of the reputation of the Shen Immortal family, right?”
