That night.

The Wei family held a celebration banquet.

The Wei family cultivators, having survived the calamity, were all beaming with joy.

Even when loved ones have passed away and one is filled with sorrow, a smile still appears on one's face.

The head of the Wei family was beaming with joy.

They frequently raised their glasses in toasts, specifically praising the brave members of their tribe who had fought valiantly.

The Wei family cultivators whose names were called all stood up boldly, drank wine in large gulps, and exuded an aura of grandeur.

For a moment, laughter and joy eased the grief of losing a loved one.

This night.

Apart from the few Foundation Establishment Realm elders responsible for guarding the area.

Most of the surviving Wei family cultivators, men, women, and children, were completely drunk.

After the family celebration banquet.

The head of the Wei family also planned to hold a celebratory banquet for the public.

Invite close cultivation families to participate.

They publicized the Wei family's outstanding victory over the Lu family.

however.

All the Wei family cultivators knew this.

The greatest contributor to the victory in this war between the Wei and Lu clans was the mysterious Alchemist Shen.

Like a divine dragon descending from the heavens, he furiously beheaded Lu Zhanpeng, a fake Core Formation cultivator from the Lu family.

Single-handedly, he turned the tide and severely damaged the Lu family's camp.

However, Shen Xuan was, after all, an outsider.

He did not appear at the Wei family's victory celebration banquet.

among the crowd.

Wei Yating quietly walked out and arrived at Shen Xuan's cave.

At this moment, an illusion array was rearranged here.

Wei Yating bit her lip and mustered her courage.

"Master Shen, may Ya Ting come in?"

"I'm a bit tired today and it's not convenient for me to receive guests. Please go back."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yating's pretty face showed a hint of disappointment.

I have a thousand words to say.

I don't know how to speak.

Wei Yating stood there blankly for a long time.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"Master Shen, please get some rest. Ya Ting will come again tomorrow."

In the cave.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Pool.

The silver-horned celestial horse leisurely nibbled on the spiritual herbs.

Shen Xuan took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk and consumed a drop.

The spiritual energy within the body is rapidly restored.

In the dantian.

The Mystic Ice Lotus slowly bloomed.

Strands of liquid spiritual energy flowed through the five internal organs and the meridians of the whole body.

Shen Xuan and the Lu family patriarch clashed swords.

They appear to be evenly matched.

In fact, Shen Xuan's spiritual power, soul, and consciousness were all inferior to those of the Lu family patriarch.

It was only about half of what the Lu family patriarch possessed.

He barely managed to withstand the flying sword attack from the Lu family patriarch.

His body suffered some shock damage.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan's physical body was extremely strong.

There is also a perfect-level [Self-Healing Technique].

He seemed completely unfazed.

This is what gives people the impression of a close match.

"From now on, I will try my best not to fight against fake cultivators with their magic weapons."

This desperate fight was mainly driven by Shen Xuan's greed.

He set his sights on the Iceberg Bear King, the ancestor of the Lu family.

A second-tier top-grade water-attribute spirit beast, just what Shen Xuan needs.

At that moment, Shen Xuan didn't think much and used all his physical skills to break the deadlock with force, killing the Iceberg Bear King with a single blow and taking its corpse.

That is why his physical strength was exhausted.

He was forced to revert to human form and summon the Ice Soul Divine Sword to fight the Lu family patriarch head-on.

otherwise.

He used his dragon form to deal with the flying sword attack of the Lu family patriarch with all his might, and used the golden light stick to block it, so he would not suffer this hidden loss.

Fortunately, everything is worth it.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword had been tempered by the Cold Jade True Man's elixir, making it of exceptional quality, barely managing to withstand the flying sword's deadly attack.

The body suffered minor injuries from the shock.

He successfully killed the Iceberg Bear King and obtained its corpse.

As he expected.

After the Lu family patriarch's sneak attack failed, he dared not linger and fled in panic.

"His identity can no longer be hidden."

To accomplish such a great feat.

Don't say that his relationship with Wanmeng was just a personal transaction.

Even if the two are intimate bed partners.

Wanmeng will still sell his information at a higher price.

Hesitating even for a moment is disrespectful to the identity of the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

However, Shen Xuan didn't care anymore.

In this life, there are some things we must do.

A mind that is not clear and is overly suppressed is not conducive to spiritual practice.

He witnessed the fierce battle between the Wei family patriarch and the Lu family patriarch.

With confidence in my heart, I made my decision.

A fake True Immortal possesses approximately twice the spiritual power, divine soul, and spiritual consciousness of one's own.

However, its physical body is far inferior to his own.

With the support of various physical talents and skills.

Its physical strength is so formidable that it is almost indistinguishable from the Dharma Aspect Realm.

It is enough to suppress a fake cultivator.

Because of this.

Shen Xuan then instructed Wei Xinghong to steer the Gale Warship to the sea.

This led Lu Zhanpeng to chase after them.

With the help of the East China Sea currents.

Shen Xuan transformed into a dragon-snake and unleashed a devastating attack—the Divine Thunder Talisman.

This is a divine thunder talisman that he has painstakingly nurtured for over twenty years.

As Master Wuchen said, its power is immense and could definitely severely injure a fake Core Formation cultivator.

Lu Zhanpeng, a newly promoted pseudo-Dan master, had never seen such a powerful weapon as the Divine Thunder Talisman.

Caught off guard, he was struck in the face by the lightning power transformed from the Divine Thunder Talisman, suffering severe injuries.

Shen Xuan gave him no chance to catch his breath.

make persistent efforts.

After being empowered with various physical talents and skills, he engaged Lu Zhanpeng in close-quarters combat.

In particular, the two ferocious monster skills, [Sharp Teeth] and [Death Roll], directly took Lu Zhanpeng's life.

Poor Lu Zhanpeng had just condensed his false core and hadn't even had a chance to use his skills when he was struck by the Divine Thunder Talisman and was bitten to death by Shen Xuan using his demon beast body skills.

Shen Xuan's physical combat strength is indeed outstanding.

Lu Zhanpeng underestimated his opponent, lacked combat experience, and was completely unprepared, which was the main reason for his defeat and death.

Shen Xuan reviewed the battle situation during the day.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although it consumed a precious Divine Thunder Talisman.

Their identities are about to be exposed.

However, Shen Xuan gained a lot from participating in this war between the Wei and Lu tribes.

Lu Zhanpeng's storage bag, top-grade flying sword, fake elixir, and the corpse of an Iceberg Bear King. In addition, the Wei family patriarch also owes him twelve pieces of divine tortoise remains.

The Wei family had just experienced a major battle.

Their vitality has not yet been restored.

It is highly unlikely that the Wei family patriarch would break his promise.

At this time, it is not advisable for the Wei family to make enemies.

Moreover, someone with exceptional combat power like Shen Xuan.

He also owed the Wei family a great debt of gratitude.

For both reason and emotion, the Wei family patriarch dared not act rashly and turn against him.

However, Shen Xuan was still prepared.

To restore the body to its optimal condition.

Being cautious and taking precautions is never a bad thing.

……

Divine Sword Sect.

A lobby somewhere.

A dignified sword cultivator with a square face and high nose is reviewing jade slips.

Hurried footsteps sounded.

"Master, the Lu family of Azure Dragon Island has been defeated!"

"how so!"

The master frowned, picked up the intelligence jade slip handed to him by his disciple, and scanned it with his divine sense.

"The mysterious rogue alchemist Shen Changsheng, suspected to be a body refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm, killed Lu Zhanpeng in one fell swoop, changing the course of the war between the Wei and Lu clans..."

He watched it several times.

"Why wasn't Shen Changsheng's true identity stated?"

"Master, Tianxiang Pavilion says that this person has extraordinary background, and his true identity will not be revealed for several days."

"Hmph! Playing hard to get, he just wants to ask for a high price!"

"Master, should I make a trip?"

The sword cultivator pondered for a moment.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"never mind!"

"The Wei family is not destined to perish; let's stop here."

"If you make another move, Junior Brother Tianyi will get angry."

"He still remembers the kindness the Wei family showed him in the past."

The disciple bowed respectfully: "Yes, Master."

……

Canglong Island.

Inside the secret room.

The Lu family patriarch recounted in detail the daytime battle.

Opposite him, a black-robed monk wearing a mask listened intently.

After the Lu family patriarch finished speaking.

The black-robed cultivator asked angrily, "Didn't your Lu family gather any information about this person before?"

"We overlooked the truth. We originally thought Shen Changsheng was merely a rogue alchemist..."

The black-robed cultivator flicked his sleeve and said, "Hmph! A second-tier water-based alchemist can refine longevity pills, how could he possibly be just a rogue cultivator!"

"I think your Lu family, with its extravagant lifestyle and luxurious living, is completely rotten!"

"They are planning to leave the Dongshan sea area and not participate in the war between your two races."

"You haven't even figured out their footing, yet you want to kidnap them and make pills for them for free!"

"It is your own fault and you will not live!"

The Lu family patriarch sighed deeply.

"Zhanpeng was too arrogant, and I was careless."

"I hope that you, fellow Daoist, will put in a good word for me, considering our past acquaintance."

The black-robed cultivator said quietly, "I will do my best."

"What is Shen Changsheng's background?"

The Lu family patriarch pondered and said, "It should be a direct disciple of a master from a major sect. It must be one of the Xuan Tian Sect, Jin Yang Sect, or Qing Yun Sect."

"Never mind. In a few days, Tianxiang Pavilion will sell information about this person and reveal his true identity."

"Your Lu family should cultivate a new Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator as soon as possible and conquer White Crane Island. Otherwise, there is no need for the Lu family to exist!"

……

Tianxiang Pavilion.

Top floor VIP room.

Wanmeng stood awkwardly to the side.

A female cultivator dressed in palace attire and veiled was flipping through jade slips containing intelligence about the war between the Wei and Lu tribes.

"Master, why are you here?"

"I was passing by this place and heard something interesting, so I came to take a look."

That female cultivator in palace attire was none other than Master Wanmeng, the Demon Lord Mingyu of the Hehuan Sect.

"This Shen Changsheng can refine the Longevity Pill?"

"Yes. This disciple has definite information that the Longevity Pill that Wei Qingxin took was refined by this person."

"Oh. Why is his real identity unknown?"

"I made a private deal with him to cover it up for a while. If I need anything in the future, I can ask him for help."

Wanmeng answered honestly, not daring to hide anything.

"Is this person a direct disciple of the Medicine God Valley?"

"No. He is a direct disciple of a master from the Qingyun Sect."

Demon Lord Mingyu let out a slightly surprised sound.

"Qingyun Sect? A direct disciple of the Immortal Changsheng?"

"No, he dares to use the name Changsheng (meaning longevity), so he can't possibly be a disciple of the Changsheng Master."

If they are master and disciple, this pseudonym is suspected of disrespecting the master.

Wanmeng said softly, "This person is named Shen Xuan, in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He is a disciple of Hanyu Zhenren and Gufeng Zhenren, a direct disciple of both lineages, and ranked first in the sect's minor competition."

"Surname Shen? I don't remember there being a Shen family in the Qingyun Sect."

Venerable Mingyu asked.

"Shen Xuan was born a mortal."

"Ordinary mortals? Interesting!"

Venerable Mingyu glanced at Wanmeng.

"You know him well?"

"Not familiar!"

Wanmeng categorically denied it.

“When I was training in Qingyang Prefecture, Shen Xuan was cultivating there for more than 20 years.”

Wanmeng briefly recounted Shen Xuan's deeds in Qingyang Prefecture.

After listening, Demon Lord Mingyu seemed to be deep in thought.

"Shen Xuan is either of extraordinary bloodline or possesses a great destiny."

"Wanmeng, you can't control him, it's better to stay away from him."

Wanmeng quickly replied, "Disciple obeys! Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"After I finish this task, I will return to the sect. You will resign from this position and follow me in cultivation, striving to condense the demon core as soon as possible."

Mingyu Demon Lord's words imply a focus on cultivating him.

Upon hearing this, Wanmeng was overjoyed.

"Yes, Master!"

What I was thinking.

Shen Xuan, I'm sorry.

I also want to keep my promise.

But you've made a huge fuss, there's nothing I can do.

Shen Changsheng's intelligence is extremely valuable!
I also need a lot of spirit stones for my cultivation.

Shen Xuan, you should be able to understand, right?

It's not like they would hold a grudge against me for such a trivial matter.

Wanmeng thought it over and over again.

They decided to give Shen Xuan two pieces of important intelligence for free.
