Chapter 674: Chapter 632: Returning Fully Loaded

Whether in terms of identity or strength, he cannot compare to a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Yet he can crush Tier Three Cultivators and Demon Lords.

Facing Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Demon Infants, and Demon Ancestors—Tier Four Cultivators—he still has the power to fight.

"Thankfully, my fortune is quite good this time, I’ve returned fully loaded."

Shen Xuan counted the spoils from this outing.

True Master Primordial Fire’s Golden Core and Red Cloud Primordial Fire, True Master Yuan Yang’s Golden Core and Purple Flame Sun Fire.

As for True Master Primordial Fire’s Primordial Fire Sword and Storage Pouch, Shen Xuan plans to temporarily seal them and return them to the Fire Cloud Sect when it resurges.

He has always been forthright and keeps his word, only taking what he deserves.

He promised True Master Primordial Fire that he would fulfill it to the best of his ability when conditions allow.

As for those nine Red Willows, they are merely Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Plants, not worth mentioning.

"With these two Golden Cores, plus the Anomalous Fires I’ve obtained, my Fire Technique cultivation will experience a qualitative leap, and I won’t have to worry about Fire Attribute Spiritual Object resources before reaching Core Formation."

In fact, in the Demon Realm space, Shen Xuan gained even more.

The roots of a thousand-year-old Phoenix Tree—if transplanted properly, a whole Phoenix Forest could regenerate from them.

Most precious of all are ten drops of essence blood from the Blazing Flame Bird.

If Shen Xuan is not mistaken, he can extract the Spirit Body of the Blazing Flame Bird from these ten drops of essence blood.

That Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon—besides the Flood Dragon meat, the Demon Core, essence blood, inverse scales, Flood Dragon tendons, horns, and skin—all these have been collected by him.

"A Tier Three Top Grade descendant of the Divine Dragon with a complete Flood Dragon Pill, essence blood, and inverse scales—all of which precisely help me break through to the Divine Power Realm."

Shen Xuan’s Nine-colored Precious Lotus can purify demons.

He can use the Mysterious Jade Talisman along with the Nine-colored Precious Lotus to refine the Flood Dragon Pill, essence blood, and inverse scales of the Blackwater Demon Flood Dragon.

It’s more laborious than against demons of the same tier.

However, this is a Tier Three Top Grade descendant of the Divine Dragon.

It’s the limit of the Divine Dragon descendants that someone like Shen Xuan can hunt.

"Four Dragon Bone Fruits—likely approaching Tier Four in grade with unknown uses. Nonetheless, as Demon Lord Cuiyun keeps it in mind, it must certainly be precious. I’ll ask Senior Brother Chang Chun about it face-to-face when I get a chance." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Seven descendants of ancient fierce insects known as Blood Marrow Demon Leeches—five of which are Tier Three water attribute demonic insects. Hmm, let’s see whether refining or breeding them yields the best benefits."

These Blood Marrow Demon Leeches are adept at Concealing Breath and disguise, proving effective in ambushes.

The Demon Lord Wuyai was turned into a skeleton in one swoop.

"Two ten-thousand-year Blood Crystal Stones formed from high tier essence blood and useful to Demon Cultivators for improving cultivation, refining Demon Soldiers, and using Secret Techniques—their value is unknown."

"Two Four-winged Worm Kings—both Tier Three Middle Grade with extraordinary bloodlines, with tens of thousands of subjects among the Four-winged Fierce Insects."

These Four-winged Fierce Insects are also descendants of ancient fierce insects and likely possess commendable bloodline skills.

"All of Demon Lord Mo Chen’s assets are now mine. Thus, I can assume his identity to act."

For Shen Xuan, the ability to use Demon Lord Mo Chen’s identity to extract confidential information from the Dark Star Alliance is of utmost importance.

"A quasi-Tier Four mysterious treasure, a Seven-heart Bodhi, has special effects like awakening intelligence, enlightening enlightenment, providing wisdom—perfect for use on a Purple Yunting Tree to awaken its intelligence."

"A single Netherworld Poison Lotus. Alas, the growing conditions for this Netherworld Poison Lotus are too harsh; I’m afraid it cannot be sustained."

As for other miscellaneous items like Demon Stones, Spirit Stones, various talismans, and Spirit Pills, Shen Xuan can’t be bothered to inventory them.

Ordinary spiritual objects do not hold any allure for him.

"Oh, right, there’s also these."

While organizing the spoils, Shen Xuan discovered some spiritual objects he absentmindedly put away.

Among a pile of Blazing Flame Bird feathers, three were life feathers.

The Blazing Flame Bird is a quasi-Tier Four Spiritual Bird with life feathers of considerable value.

Perfect for refining the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan.

There were also some feathers from a Demon-winged Dapeng Eagle.

He casually took them after a battle.

Though of average quality and somewhat tattered,

the feathers of the Demon-winged Dapeng Eagle are rare treasures no matter what.

These feathers are not particularly precious among the many spoils.

But for Shen Xuan, they are excellent materials for replicating the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan.

"The Ice Technique still excels in defense over offense. Once I coalesce a Fire Technique Golden Core and replicate the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan, combining Ice and Fire—there’s nowhere I cannot go in this vast world!"

After counting the spoils,

Shen Xuan sat in the secret room, immersed in thought.

He could never bring himself to side with the Demon Race.

Perhaps he is selfish, lustful, timid, and fearful of trouble...

But he has always regarded himself as a good person.

At the very least, Shen Xuan believes so in his heart.

He never wantonly kills the innocent.

Nor does he employ unscrupulous methods for personal gain, doing things that go against his moral compass.

As a Spirit Cultivator of the Human Race, he vowed to be irreconcilable with the Demon Race!
