Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 414: Netherworld Devil Flower

"High-tier water attribute demon beast essence blood? What grade qualifies as high-tier?"

Zhuo Yuanhang asked with a smile upon hearing the words.

"Tier Two Top Grade and above."

"Junior Brother Lv thinks too highly of us. Tier Two Top Grade demon beasts, let alone encountering one. Even if we do encounter one, we are no match for it."

Zhuo Yuanhang said indifferently.

Actually, he could manage a fight.

But his junior brothers and sisters are definitely no match for a Top Grade demon beast.

Even if they managed to kill such a Top Grade demon beast.

If his junior brothers and sisters were to perish as a result, he would have no face to see their master, True Master Purple Qi.

"Then, what about Core Formation demons?"

Lv Zhengying asked with a smile.

Some Demon Sect Saint Children carry Core Formation demons with them.

In the sect’s intelligence jade scroll, Zhuo Yuanhang had made a name for himself in Wuyang County by killing a Demon Sect Saint Child and severely injuring another.

"Core Formation demons? Are you talking about this?"

Zhuo Yuanhang took out a crimson magic flower from his storage pouch.

This rare magic flower only grows in places rich with demonic qi. The petals resemble crimson burning lotus flames, filled with various strange demon markings, exuding an extremely cold and sinister demonic qi that can captivate souls and leave cultivators irretrievably immersed in illusion realms.

Lv Zhengying, having been in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for many years with ordinary realm cultivation, had a keen eye.

"Is this the Crimson Flame Netherworld Flower, a Core Formation demon?"

"It seems so."

"Senior Brother Zhuo willing to sell it?"

Zhuo Yuanhang put away the Crimson Flame Netherworld Flower, gazing at Lv Zhengying.

"Not for anything less than Seventy Percent Off the same tier of spiritual objects."

Lv Zhengying gave a dry laugh.

"Name your price, Senior Brother Zhuo."

"I want to trade this Core Formation demon for Core Formation spiritual objects, perhaps supplementing some spirit stones."

Lv Zhengying shook his head.

"Sorry, we don’t have Core Formation spiritual objects here."

He thought to himself.

Even if we had Core Formation spiritual objects, they wouldn’t trade them for your Core Formation demon.

Supplementing with spirit stones is also not an option.

Currently, all major sects are supporting their Core Formation seeds to break through; Core Formation spiritual objects are in short supply.

Zhuo Yuanfeng showed a trace of disappointment.

"Forget it."

With that, Zhuo Yuanhang was about to leave with his junior brothers and sisters.

"Senior Brother Zhuo, wait!"

Lv Zhengying cautiously asked, watching Zhuo Yuanhang: "We can trade with Thunder Spirit Pearls, Senior Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Yuanhang shook his head slightly.

"Thunder Talismans are also acceptable!"

Lv Zhengying said through gritted teeth.

Zhuo Yuanhang still shook his head.

"I only want to exchange for Core Formation spiritual objects."

Lv Zhengying solemnly said: "Pardon me, Senior Brother Zhuo, but I must speak frankly."

"No one in the sect will trade Core Formation spiritual objects for your Core Formation demon."

"Even if you supplement with spirit stones, no one would agree."

Zhuo Yuanhang gave a soft "oh," looking indifferent.

Did he not know that Core Formation demons are less valuable than Core Formation spiritual objects?

After all, it is a Tier Two Top Grade demon, an essential item for demon cultivators during Core Condensation.

If there were no satisfactory trade items, he wouldn’t easily let go.

Lv Zhengying softly uttered three words: "Cold Jade Pill."

At that, Zhuo Yuanhang’s eyes flickered with keen light.

"How many Cold Jade Pills can you bring out, not that the sect has restrictions?"

Lv Zhengying smiled: "Senior Brother Zhuo has not returned to the sect, I assume."

"There are some things I cannot discuss much."

"But, there is one thing I can assure you."

"As long as the price is right, there’s no problem getting them in quantity."

Behind him, a seasoned cultivator transmitted his voice to Zhuo Yuanhang.

Explaining the situation regarding Cold Jade Pills in the sect to him.

After a moment’s thought, Zhuo Yuanhang asked: "What’s the sect’s purchase limit?"

"A monthly limit of one purchase, four pills per purchase, six purchase limit per person. Those in the late stage of Foundation Establishment can only exchange for twenty-four Cold Jade Pills, and no private transactions outside the sect are allowed."

Transfers among sect disciples are still possible.

But, anyone having the slightest hope for Core Formation wouldn’t want to trade them.

In Cyan Cloud Sect, there are over sixty cultivators in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Currently, in the Spirit Pill Hall, True Masters Ge Chengming, Hu Xiucheng, and Huang Yuan work tirelessly day and night to refine Cold Jade Pills.

Even at that, the monthly production is only about thirty pills.

The demand for Cold Jade Pills has been scheduled for two years ahead.

Once sect disciples break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the first thing they do is register their demand for Cold Jade Pills.

After listening to Lv Zhengying’s introduction, Zhuo Yuanhang’s expression changed slightly.

Two years ago, at the Wuyang County Daoist Demon Battlefield, he had received a transmission from the sect.

True Master Cold Jade developed a new spirit pill, with effects comparable to the Purifying Foundation Pill, cheap yet effective, and could be exchanged with sect contribution points in bulk.

At that time, he was leading his fellow disciples in a comprehensive attack on the demon cultivators in Wuyang County, unable to leave.

The demand for Cold Jade Pills must be personally registered.

Unexpectedly, by the time he had achieved a great victory and returned to the sect.

The exchange for Cold Jade Pills had been queued for two years later.

"Two years is not too long, I’ll just wait."

Zhuo Yuanhang said with an unchanged expression.

Lv Zhengying chuckled and said: "As everyone knows, the effect of Cold Jade Pills varies from person to person. Some senior brothers have estimated that the efficacy of Cold Jade Pills generally lasts up to thirty pills."

"For a few, it can last up to thirty-six pills. Thereafter, the pill’s efficacy sharply decreases."

"Among everyone, it’s commonly agreed that the Cold Jade Pills refined by Senior Brother Shen are one to two degrees more effective than those from the Spirit Pill Hall."

Zhuo Yuanhang asked in a deep voice: "How many can Shen Xuan provide?"

"Not saying many, but dozens can be produced."

Behind them, a yellow-clad female cultivator interjected: "Does Shen Xuan have so many Cold Jade Pills, without being subject to trade limits, doesn’t the sect intervene?"

Zhuo Yuanhang lightly coughed.

The yellow-clad female cultivator seemed confused.

"Senior Brother, did Xingrou say something wrong?"

The seasoned cultivator advised: "Thirteenth Junior Sister, we’ll discuss this later."

Zhuo Yuanhang asked: "Is Shen Xuan here?"

"He is not. Senior Brother Shen is in closed cultivation."

"If you are interested, Senior Brother Zhuo, I can accompany you to Cold Jade Peak, to request Senior Brother Shen to come out, and you two can discuss face to face."

Zhuo Yuanhang nodded.

"When can we set off?"

Cold Jade Pills are crucial to his Core Formation breakthrough.

Zhuo Yuanhang naturally paid attention.

"Anytime."

"Then let’s set off now!"

Zhuo Yuanhang instructed: "Second Junior Brother, take Thirteenth Junior Sister to Juxian Tower. I’ll accompany Junior Brother Lv for a trip to Cold Jade Peak."

"Senior Brother, Xingrou will accompany you!"

The female cultivator in yellow said softly.

Zhuo Yuanhang glanced at Lv Zhengying.

Lv Zhengying slightly shook his head.

Zhuo Yuanhang said with a smile, "Junior Sister Thirteen, you should go to the Juxian Tower first. Senior Brother will return soon."

"Alright then."

The female cultivator in yellow obediently agreed.

...

An hour later.

Cold Jade Peak.

Shen Xuan’s Cave Mansion.

Shen Xuan personally escorted Zhuo Yuanhang out of the peak.

Watching Zhuo Yuanhang’s distant silhouette.

Lv Zhengying asked with a smile, "Senior Brother Shen, how many Cold Jade Pills did Zhuo Yuanhang want for that Red Flame Netherworld Flower?"

"Thirty-six."

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "No matter what I said, he insisted on no less than thirty-six Cold Jade Pills."

"Ah! Senior Brother Shen, you’re too easygoing!"

"Forget it!"

Shen Xuan replied calmly, "After all, he is the top disciple of Master Purple Qi. If he can condense the Inner Core, the reputation of Purple Qi Peak will greatly rise."

"It won’t be that easy!"

"I checked the sect’s records. After each Daoist Demon war, at most two or three Core Formation Seeds manage to condense a True Pill."

"The sect only rewards ten Golden Transformation Pills!"

Shen Xuan smiled without explanation.

He knew the inside story.

True Master Cold Jade had told him that this time, the Cyan Cloud Sect was financially strong and might refine seventeen or eighteen Golden Transformation Pills, aiming for each of the seventeen peaks to have a share.

The only peak without a share, however, was Cold Jade Peak.

This matter wasn’t really the sect’s fault either.

Who asked Cold Jade Peak not to have any successors, not even a late-stage Foundation Establishment direct disciple?

The sect’s Golden Transformation Pill is awarded based on performance in the Daoist Demon war.

The next Daoist Demon war will be thirty years later.

They fight for thirty years, rest for thirty years.

The Daoist Sect of Song Country and the Demon Sect of Liang Country plan meticulously.

They not only train the sect’s Core Formation Seeds but also consume a large number of low and mid-tier cultivators and mortals.

After the war, they rest and rejuvenate.

Those low and mid-tier cultivators and mortals will grow again like wild grass.

As long as the roots are not uprooted, development can continue.

Provide endless cultivation resources for the major sect disciples.

"By the way, Senior Brother Shen, Zhou Jinxing of the Zhou Family from Cyan Yang Prefecture has come to Qing Yun Immortal City and wants to meet you."

Zhou Jinxing is the father of Zhou Bailian, the former patriarch of the Zhou Family.

"This time, in opening the Song-Liang Daoist Demon trade route, we need the Zhou Family’s support. Tomorrow morning, bring him to my cave mansion."

"Understood!"

After Lv Zhengying left.

Shen Xuan returned to his cave mansion.

Took out the Red Flame Netherworld Flower and examined it repeatedly for a long time.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

This is indeed a good Core Formation demon object.

It can be used to trade for Core Formation Spiritual Objects of equivalent value in the Demon Sect of Liang Country.

It’s worth noting that in Song Country, Core Formation Spiritual Objects cannot be found on the market.

"It’s a pity, there is no Tier Three Demon Beast Essence Blood."

What Shen Xuan needs most is Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood.

Even Demon Beast Essence Blood would suffice for a brave attempt.

Having cultivated the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method to the third realm.

Shen Xuan is confident he can suppress the demonic qi in the Demon Beast Essence Blood.

"Fake Pill Demon Venerable? No hurry!"

To play it safe, Shen Xuan decided to wait until he breaks through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment before considering the Fake Pill Demon Venerable’s trade.

"Thirty-six Cold Jade Pills to trade for one Core Formation demon object."

At that price, Shen Xuan’s stock can only trade for five Core Formation demon objects.

It’s the result of over two years of hard work in alchemy.

"Five Core Formation demon objects? That’s not too few."

"If lucky, it could trade for three or four top-grade Core Formation Spiritual Objects."

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan couldn’t help but show a smile of delight.

...

The next day.

In the cave mansion.

Shen Xuan took out the treasured Mist Shadow Spirit Tea and personally brewed tea for Zhou Jinxing.

"This is quasi-Tier Three Spirit Tea, called Mist Shadow, give it a taste, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Shen Xuan said with a cheerful smile.

Across from him.

Zhou Jinxing savored a sip of the Mist Shadow Spirit Tea, feeling extremely satisfied, he squinted his eyes and said, "Good tea! Fellow Daoist Shen truly knows how to enjoy life!"

Time passes so quickly.

Zhou Jinxing still remembers that forty years ago, when he first met Shen Xuan, it was at the Carefree Tower in the Cyan Yang Market.

It was the trading place for Foundation Establishment cultivators in Cyan Yang Prefecture.

At the time, his daughter Zhou Bailian was already living with Shen Xuan.

About this, he was very angry.

He knew about Shen Xuan’s background.

A mere loose cultivator, established Foundation at an advanced age, and relied on past friendship with Qin Yuehan to become a registered disciple of True Master Gu Feng.

The status and position of sect disciples were far above clan cultivators.

Although Shen Xuan came from a loose cultivator background and established Foundation late, only being a registered disciple of True Master Gu Feng.

If he were willing to officially marry Zhou Bailian, that would be acceptable.

What Zhou Jinxing resented was that Shen Xuan had no such intention.

And Zhou Bailian was the one who took the initiative to cling to him.

The two were like wild lovers in a fleeting romance.

Zhou Bailian’s personality was rebellious and disobedient.

Under limited family support, she luckily established the Dao Foundation.

He had always found it difficult to deal with this daughter.

At the Carefree Tower, Zhou Bailian appeared with Shen Xuan and directly sold a Tier Two Middle Grade demon beast, the Red Flame Flood Dragon Snake.

This made him regard Shen Xuan’s ability with a new level of respect.

Following that, events concerning Shen Xuan kept happening one after another.

Each exceeded his expectations.

Shen Xuan was not an ordinary Water Cultivator.

He was also an extremely rare Thunder Cultivator and Ice Cultivator.

He creates Thunder Talismans, refines Corpse Beasts, intimidates demons, becomes a direct disciple, and kills the Demon Sect’s Saint Child...

A dual lineage direct disciple, first place in the sect’s minor competition.

Now Shen Xuan had become a lofty existence for the Zhou Family.

Upon hearing that Shen Xuan was supporting the Zhou Family to cooperate in earning Spirit Stones.

As the previous patriarch, and the second-ranking person of the Zhou Family, he quickly came personally.
