Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 459: The Lone Fiend Demon Lord

"Cannot!"

The three-tailed tabby cat replied.

"Is it because Old Bai protects him?"

"No!"

The three-tailed tabby cat’s eyes gleamed with a faint green light.

"Shen Fei, this person, has restrained aura and steady heartbeat, not fearing us. He must have a trump card."

The Howling Moon Fox said lightly, "He is a water cultivator, also practicing thunder and ice techniques, skilled in Thunder Escape Technique."

"Even with these, he cannot escape my grasp."

The three-tailed tabby cat disagreed, "Water techniques, thunder techniques, ice techniques, body refining great success, this person must be a human prodigy."

"If you fail, the consequences will be tremendous. Why provoke him!"

"Moreover."

The three-tailed tabby cat paused, tilted its head, and thought for a while.

"Moreover, there’s a terrifying aura inside him, likely nurturing a Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman."

Upon hearing this, the Howling Moon Fox’s expression changed.

"Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman? Yes, this item. No wonder my mind is restless."

The longer the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman is nurtured, the greater its power.

It can restrain them Demon Kings to some extent.

The three-tailed tabby cat wasn’t wrong.

If both sides are severely injured and Shen Fei is not caught, it would be thankless and the aftermath would be endless. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As Demon Kings, they finally secured a piece of Spirit Vein Spiritual Land.

Not until absolutely necessary would they consider moving.

"Pity my Taiyin Mirror."

The three-tailed tabby cat rolled her eyes, "You don’t just have one Taiyin Mirror. Spend some time, refine a few more. I can give him my King’s Divine Feather."

The Howling Moon Fox scolded, "You greedy wildcat! Your Seven Birds Feather is stolen, of course, you don’t feel sorry. My Taiyin Mirror is painstakingly refined over a hundred years."

"I see, you’re just craving the promised spirit fish!"

Despite the words.

The Howling Moon Fox knew well.

The three-tailed tabby cat was right.

Smell and Taste, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, are the three-tailed tabby cat’s skills.

...

Indeed, Shen Xuan did not fear the two Demon Kings joining forces.

Not just because of the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.

But because before entering Bai Family Stronghold, he had pinpointed the positions for the Mysterious Wind Teleportation Talisman.

He could activate this talisman anytime, teleporting thousands of miles away, into a Grand River somewhere.

Compared to the True Pill True Master who could perform Divine Powers.

The Demon Kings posed less threat to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan’s flesh body was equally formidable, not inferior to the Demon Kings.

Even if not able to counter the innate divine power of Demon Kings, Shen Xuan had enough means to safely escape.

A month later.

Shen Xuan handed three Thunder-Resistant Treasure Robes to the Bai Family Ancestor and left Bai Family Stronghold.

Before leaving, he met Hou Jing in the guise of Shen Lang.

He cheaply sold some unused low-tier spiritual objects to him.

Hou Jing was deeply grateful for this.

Shen Xuan smiled and left gracefully.

Actually, he only took four days to complete the Thunder-Resistant Treasure Robes.

Component Gold and Profound Gold were quite precious, he made one for himself as well.

Based on the Faraday Cage principle, using Component Copper and Profound Gold wires, he constructed equipotential bodies to prevent being struck and conducted by lightning.

Outside the Thunder-Resistant Treasure Robe, Shen Xuan added many decorations to disguise it.

Even if others tried to imitate it without understanding the principle, they would easily err.

After completing the Thunder-Resistant Treasure Robe, Shen Xuan spent the remaining time perusing the Bai Family ancestors’ annotations on Dharma Realm cultivation insights.

Apart from various cultivation techniques.

An important point was to continuously refine the essence blood of the same True Spirit descendant.

Thus gradually transform quantity into quality, gaining insights into the innate divine power of this True Spirit.

With good fortune, one might not only comprehend one divine power.

...

Ten-plus days later.

Shen Xuan reverted to his original form, used Invisibility Technique, and flew to Luoxia Lake.

On the small island in the lake, Shen Xuan took out the River and Sea Map, and traded the spirit water inside with the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon.

He gained twelve Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branches.

Now, to him, the sixty thousand spirit stones spent on refining spirit water in the River and Sea Map was inconsequential.

Many high-tier spiritual objects could only be exchanged through barter, not through spirit stone transactions.

These Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branches were quasi-tier-three spiritual wood, the main material for Shen Xuan to engrave the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.

The Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon finished drinking the spirit water and asked, "Your flesh body has broken through?"

"The eyes of Purple Essence King are sharp! Shen has fortunately broken through to Dharma Realm."

"What Dharma Aspect?"

"Flood Dragon."

"Flood Dragon, huh, that’s quite good."

The Purple Essence Divine Wood softly exclaimed.

"Is there anything good left in your Storage Pouch, show me."

Shen Xuan pondered for a bit.

He took out the eighteen Moon Spirit Pearls he just traded.

"Purple Essence King, are you referring to these?"

"Yes, precisely these."

The trunk of the Purple Essence Divine Wood revealed a face, its branches transformed into arms, taking the Moon Spirit Pearls.

"Taiyin Essence condensed."

"What are you intending to exchange them for?"

Shen Xuan asked, "Do you have any Tier Three Water Demon Essence Blood?"

"I don’t."

"Then it’s up to Purple Essence King."

Previously, when trading with the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon, he emphasized equivalent exchange between them.

Shen Xuan straightforwardly let the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon decide.

"Then, I will trade and favor you with this item!"

The Purple Essence Divine Wood made a hand seal, and a small green ball large as a fist, wrapped in layers of spirit leaves, flew before Shen Xuan.

"What is this?"

"Seven years ago, a demon bird fell here. I absorbed its carcass. This is its corpse’s innate demon fire."

Shen Xuan was moved.

He had just obtained a Royal Bird’s innate feather, now he got innate demon fire.

Is it fate?

To let him also cultivate a fire attribute cultivation technique?

After activating the Golden Finger, Shen Xuan had focused on water technique.

Because water attribute demon beasts were most common and cheapest.

Now, Shen Xuan was affluent, skilled in alchemy and talisman techniques, owning both wealth and resources.

He could consider taking time to cultivate another attribute technique as a supplement.

Of course, one can only specialize, not spread thin.

"Does Purple Essence King know the species of that demon bird?"

"Seems like the descendant of the Great Sun Golden Crow."

Shen Xuan was startled, pointing at the green ball wrapped in spirit leaves.

"Then this..."

"You didn’t think wrong. It’s a small cluster of Jin Wu true fire."

"If nurtured well, it can evolve into Sun true fire."

The Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon said calmly.

"Thank you, Great King Purple Essence."

Shen Xuan accepted without hesitation.

Forming a seal and casting a technique, he first used his Profound Ice Spiritual Power to wrap the spirit leaves layer by layer, storing them properly in a new jade box.

After leaving Luoxia Lake, without the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon casting a spell, those spirit leaves couldn’t suppress the Jin Wu true fire.

At this time, Shen Xuan’s Fire Spirit Root was still inferior and he hadn’t practiced a high tier fire technique.

He temporarily couldn’t refine this small cluster of Jin Wu true fire.

...

A month later.

Song and Liang border, Heiye market.

Shen Xuan stood dozens of miles outside the market, gazing from afar.

"This is the point of contact left by Ling Zhenfeng. If I go in, I can contact him."

"I do not know if that False Dan Demon Lord still has the Mo Jiao essence blood."

"However, I want the Mo Jiao essence blood yet don’t want to give up the False Dan. It’s really a headache!"

Shen Xuan was still very willing to trade with the False Dan Demon Lord.

It’s just that, to him, the Fake Pill was equally important.

It’s best to exchange for another item.

"I’ve heard that this Demon Lord loves double-dealing. I wonder if he would do the same to me."

Shen Xuan altered his appearance, registered under the alias Shen Chen, and entered Heiye market.

As per the agreement.

Shen Xuan arrived at a rundown cultivation shop.

"Senior, what do you need?"

An elderly shopkeeper at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, full of wrinkles, greeted and nodded respectfully.

This is a border market.

Its most notable characteristic is chaotic order.

In the cultivation realm, strength is respected, the law of the jungle, with a strict hierarchy.

"I want to send a message."

Shen Xuan took out a spirit paper, drew a few patterns on it, and handed it to the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper just took one look, and his expression changed drastically.

"Can you deliver it?"

Shen Xuan asked indifferently.

"Yes! That’s our business."

"That’s good."

Shen Xuan nodded, said no more, turned around, and left the Heiye market.

...

Ten days later.

Deep night.

A hundred miles east of Heiye market, atop a mountain peak.

Shen Xuan looked at the moon with his hands behind his back.

A black-clothed cultivator silently flew in.

"Ah Feng, you’re here!"

Shen Xuan turned around.

The black-clothed cultivator was Ling Zhenfeng, a former classmate and friend.

"Brother Shen!"

They looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Xuan and Ling Zhenfeng exchanged a few words, inquiring about the situation of Song and Liang countries.

Now, Ling Zhenfeng had become the Saint Child of the Yin Sha Sect.

If nothing unexpected happens, he would be listed in the next Dao Demon trial.

The higher his status, the more inside information he knew.

"The situation is very complicated!"

Ling Zhenfeng said with a sigh.

He told Shen Xuan that the Hehuan Sect reported that Yan Country was preparing for war, intending to invade Song Country again.

But this time, the six sects of Liang Country might not aid Song Country.

"Why is this? Don’t they understand the principle of lips gone, teeth cold?"

"It’s said that the six sects of Liang Country demanded too high a price, and the seven sects of Song Country didn’t agree. Moreover, there seems to be an issue within the seven sects of Song Country."

"The Profound Celestial Sect and the Golden Sun Sect are not in agreement."

Shen Xuan sighed.

It seemed that the leadership position of the Profound Celestial Sect was being challenged by the Golden Sun Sect.

He had no particular feelings towards the seven sects of Song Country.

However, in Song Country, he still had his mentor and close friends, Su Xue’er, and adopted descendants.

Even now, he couldn’t fully let go.

"The seven sects of Song Country all have Nascent Soul True Monarchs stationed."

"Even if the battle situation turns unfavorable, the core area of the sects should remain safe."

At this moment, Shen Xuan felt helpless.

He could only leave it to fate.

Ultimately, it’s because his power wasn’t enough.

If he were a Golden Core True Master now.

He could fully protect his relatives and friends.

If he returned to the Cyan Cloud Sect now.

He might become a pawn in the sect’s power struggle.

"Condense the Golden Core as soon as possible and return to the Cyan Cloud Sect!"

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

People are not plants; who can be emotionless?

If in this world, he had no relatives or friends, only himself alone.

That would indeed be lonely like the snow, devoid of interest in life.

"Does that False Dan Demon Lord still have the Mo Jiao essence blood?"

"He probably does. However, I haven’t seen it myself."

Ling Zhenfeng asked, "Brother Shen, do you still want to use the True Man False Pill to trade for the Mo Jiao essence blood?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"I want the Mo Jiao essence blood, but I don’t want to give the True Man False Pill."

"This..."

Hearing this, Ling Zhenfeng was left without words.

"That Lonely Sha Demon Lord, though only at the Fake Pill Realm, his demon techniques are extraordinary, with a record of killing True Pill True Masters."

After a long silence, Ling Zhenfeng finally spoke.

He seemed to be offering some advice.

The more advanced the cultivators, the more cautious they are.

Among high tier cultivators, killing each other is not an easy task.

Without absolute certainty, merely defeating the opponent without killing could lead to endless troubles.

"Ah Feng, first give me the intelligence on the Lonely Sha Demon Lord. Then I’ll think about it."

"Okay!"

Before, Shen Xuan already had plans to trade with the Lonely Sha Demon Lord.

Ling Zhenfeng handed over the prepared intelligence jade scroll.

"Come here again in ten days. We’ll discuss this matter in detail then."
