Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 415 Netherworld Demon Flower (Please Subscribe)

"High-level water-attribute magical beast essence blood? What grade is considered high-level?"

Zhuo Yuanhang smiled and asked upon hearing this.

"Second-tier top-grade or above".

"Junior Brother Lü thinks too highly of us. Second-tier top-grade magical beasts are rare, let alone encountering them. Even if we did, we wouldn't be a match for them."

Zhuo Yuanhang said calmly.

Actually, he could have given it his all.

But the junior brothers and sisters are definitely no match for top-tier magical beasts.

Even if you kill a top-tier monster.

If his junior brothers and sisters were to perish because of this, he would have no face to face his master, Master Ziqi.

"Then, what about Core Formation demons?"

Lu Zhengying asked with a smile.

Some of the holy sons of the Demonic Sect carry with them demonic creatures that have reached the Core Formation stage.

In the sect's intelligence jade slip, Zhuo Yuanhang made a great splash, killing one of the Demon Sect's Holy Sons and severely injuring another in Wuyang County.

"A Core Formation Demon? You mean this?"

Zhuo Yuanhang took out a crimson demon flower from his storage bag.

This is a rare demonic flower that can only grow in places rich in demonic energy. Its petals are like crimson, burning lotus-shaped flames, covered with various strange demonic patterns, and exude an extremely yin and cold demonic energy that can captivate the soul and make cultivators intoxicated in an illusion from which they cannot extricate themselves.

Lu Zhengying had been in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for many years, and although his cultivation level was mediocre, his eyesight was quite good.

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

"seems like it."

"Is Senior Brother Zhuo willing to sell?"

Zhuo Yuanhang carefully put away the Crimson Flame Netherworld Flower and stared at Lü Zhengying.

"If it's a spirit item of the same rank, then there's no need to ask for a discount."

Lü Zhengying gave two dry laughs.

"Brother Zhuo, name your price."

"I want to use this Core Formation demonic artifact to trade for a Core Formation spiritual artifact, which can help me replenish some spirit stones."

Lü Zhengying shook her head.

"Sorry, we don't have any Core Formation spirit items here."

I was thinking in my heart.

Even if we have a Core Formation Spiritual Object, it's impossible to exchange it for the Core Formation Demonic Object you have.

Even spirit stones won't work.

This is the time when the core-forming seedlings of various sects are attempting to form their cores.

The supply of spiritual items for Core Formation is insufficient to meet the demand.

Zhuo Yuanfeng showed a hint of disappointment.

"never mind."

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

"Senior Brother Zhuo, wait a minute!"

Lu Zhengying looked at Zhuo Yuanhang and asked cautiously, "Senior Brother Zhuo, can we trade using Thunder Spirit Pearls?"

Zhuo Yuanhang shook his head slightly.

"A thunder talisman will do!"

"I said through gritted teeth," Lü Zhengying said.

Zhuo Yuanhang shook his head again.

"I only want to exchange for a Core Formation spiritual item."

Lu Zhengying said solemnly, "Senior Brother Zhuo, I must say something that may offend you."

"No one in the sect would trade a Core Formation spiritual item for a Core Formation demonic item with you."

"Even if you replenish the spirit stones, no one will be willing."

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

Little did he know that a Core Formation demonic creature was less valuable than a Core Formation spiritual creature.

After all, it is a second-tier top-grade demonic creature, an essential item for demonic cultivators when condensing their core.

He won't easily make a move unless there are items in the trade that satisfy him.

Lu Zhengying softly uttered three words: "Hanyu Dan".

The voice fell.

A glint of light flashed in Zhuo Yuanhang's eyes.

"How many Cold Jade Pills can you produce? Didn't they say the sect has a purchase limit?"

Lü Zhengying smiled: "Senior Brother Zhuo hasn't returned to the sect yet, has he?"

"There are some things that I, Lü, cannot say more about."

"But there is one thing I can guarantee."

"As long as the price is right, any number of Cold Jade Pills is fine."

Behind him, the experienced cultivator transmitted his voice to Zhuo Yuanhang.

Explain the current situation of the Cold Jade Pill in the sect to him.

After a moment's thought, Zhuo Yuanhang asked, "How much is the sect limited to purchasing?"

"Limited to one purchase per month, with a limit of four pills per purchase, and a maximum of six purchases per person. In the late Foundation Establishment stage, only twenty-four Cold Jade Pills can be exchanged, and they cannot be transferred to others without authorization."

It is still possible to transfer between disciples of a sect.

However, they have all broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

They wouldn't trade anything with even a sliver of hope for Core Formation.

In the Qingyun Sect, there are more than sixty people in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Now, in the Lingdan Hall, three masters, Ge Chengming, Hu Xiucheng, and Huang Yuan, are personally teaching and refining the Cold Jade Pill day and night.

Thus, the monthly output was only about thirty pieces.

The demand for Cold Jade Pills registered later was already booked for two years later.

When a disciple of a sect breaks through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the first thing they do upon emerging from seclusion is to register their need for Cold Jade Pills.

After listening to Lü Zhengying's introduction, Zhuo Yuanhang's expression changed slightly.

Two years ago, he received a message from his sect at the battlefield of the Dao and Demon in Wuyang County.

Master Hanyu has developed a new elixir with effects comparable to the Foundation Purification Pill. It is inexpensive and can be exchanged in large quantities using sect contribution points.

At that time, he was leading his fellow disciples in a full-scale attack on the demonic cultivators of Wuyang County and was unable to extricate himself from the situation.

The demand for Cold Jade Pills can only be registered by the individual themselves.

Unexpectedly, after he won a great victory and returned to his sect...

The waiting list for exchanging Cold Jade Pills is two years away.

"Two years is not a long time. I, Zhuo, will just wait."

Zhuo Yuanhang said calmly.

Lu Zhengying said with a smile, "As we all know, the effects of the Cold Jade Pill vary from person to person. A senior brother once calculated that the effects of the Cold Jade Pill can generally last up to thirty pills."

"A small number of people can continue to use up to thirty-six pills. After that, the efficacy of the Cold Jade Pill will decrease sharply."

"Everyone agrees that Senior Brother Shen's Cold Jade Pill is one to two times more effective than the one made by the Spirit Pill Hall."

Zhuo Yuanhang asked in a deep voice, "How much can Shen Xuan offer?"

"I wouldn't say much, but I can still produce a few dozen."

Behind them, the female cultivator in yellow interjected, "Shen Xuan has so many Cold Jade Pills, and he's trading them without limit. Doesn't the sect care?"

Zhuo Yuanhang coughed lightly.

The female cultivator in yellow was still somewhat puzzled.

"Senior Brother, did Xingrou say something wrong?"

The experienced cultivator said, "Thirteenth Junior Sister, let's discuss this further when we get back."

Zhuo Yuanhang asked, "Is Shen Xuan here?"

"He's not here. Senior Brother Shen is in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion."

“If Senior Brother Zhuo is interested, I, Lü, will accompany you to Hanyu Peak to ask Senior Brother Shen to come out of seclusion so that the two of you can talk face to face.”

Zhuo Yuanhang nodded.

When can we set off?

The Cold Jade Pill is crucial to his breakthrough to Core Formation.

Zhuo Yuanhang naturally took it to heart.

"anytime."

"Then let's set off now!"

Zhuo Yuanhang instructed, "Second Junior Brother, take Thirteenth Junior Sister to Juxian Tower. Junior Brother Lü and I will go to Hanyu Peak."

"Senior brother, Xingrou will go with you!" the yellow-robed female cultivator said softly.

Zhuo Yuanhang glanced at Lü Zhengying.

Lü Zhengying shook her head slightly.

Zhuo Yuanhang said with a smile, "Thirteenth Junior Sister, you should go to Juxian Tower first. Your senior brother will be back soon."

"OK then."

The female cultivator in yellow obediently agreed.

……

An hour later.

Cold Jade Peak.

Shen Xuan's Cave.

Shen Xuan personally escorted Zhuo Yuanhang out of the peak.

Watching Zhuo Yuanhang's departing figure.

Lu Zhengying asked with a smile, "Senior Brother Shen, how many Cold Jade Pills did Zhuo Yuanhang ask you for that Crimson Flame Netherworld Flower?"

"Thirty-six."

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "No matter what, he's sticking to the offer of thirty-six Cold Jade Pills."

"Sigh! Senior Brother Shen is still too easy to talk to!"

"never mind!"

Shen Xuan said calmly, "No matter what, he is the eldest disciple of Master Ziqi. If he can condense his inner core, the Ziqi Peak lineage will become much more powerful."

"It's not that easy!"

"I have checked the sect's records. After each of the Dao-Demon Wars, at most only two or three people with Core Formation Seeds were able to condense into True Cores."

"The sect will only reward ten Transformation Pills!"

Shen Xuan smiled but offered no explanation.

He knew the inside story.

Master Hanyu told him that the Qingyun Sect had ample financial resources this time and was likely to refine seventeen or eighteen Transformation Pills, striving to ensure that everyone on the seventeen peaks would receive one.

The only ones who didn't get a share were Han Yufeng and his group.

This matter cannot be blamed on the sect.

It's because Hanyu Peak has no successors; they don't even have a late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple.

The sect's Golden Core cultivators are rewarded based on their performance in the war between the Dao and the Demonic Realms.

The next war between the Dao and the Demons will have to wait thirty years.

Fight for thirty years, then stop for thirty years.

The Daoist sect of Song and the Demonic sect of Liang were making their plans meticulously.

It not only trained the sect's core-forming seeds, but also consumed a large number of low- and mid-level cultivators and mortals.

After the ceasefire, people can rest and recuperate.

Another wave of low- to mid-level cultivators and mortals will emerge.

Like chives, they are harvested again and again.

As long as the roots aren't uprooted, it can continue to develop.

To provide a continuous stream of cultivation resources for the disciples of major sects.

"By the way, Senior Brother Shen, Zhou Jinxing from the Zhou family of Qingyang Prefecture is here in Qingyun Immortal City. He wants to see you."

Zhou Jinxing is Zhou Bailian's father and the current head of the Zhou family.

"This time, we need the Zhou family's help to open up the Song-Liang Road Demon Merchant Route. Bring him to my cave tomorrow morning."

"Ok!"

After Lü Zhengying left.

Shen Xuan returned to his cave.

He took out the Crimson Flame Netherworld Flower and examined it repeatedly for a long time.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

This is a decent Core Formation demon.

It can be used to trade for Core Formation spiritual items of equal value within the Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect.

It should be noted that in the Song Kingdom, you cannot find Core Formation artifacts on the market.

"Unfortunately, there's no third-tier magical beast essence blood."

What Shen Xuan needs most is the blood of a third-tier water fairy.

Even the essence blood of magical beasts is worth a try.

The White Bone Contemplation Inner Vision Method has been cultivated to the third stage.

Shen Xuan was confident that he could suppress the demonic energy in the essence blood of the magical beast.

"A fake Core Demon Lord? No rush!"

To be on the safe side, Shen Xuan decided to wait until he broke through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment before considering the deal with the fake Core Demon Lord.

"Thirty-six Cold Jade Pills in exchange for one Core Formation Demonic Item."

At this price, Shen Xuan's inventory is only enough to trade five Core Formation demonic items.

This was the reward for his hard work in refining elixirs for more than two years.

"Five Core Formation Demonic Objects? That's quite a lot."

"If you're lucky, you can trade for three or four top-quality Core Formation spiritual items."

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan couldn't hide the smile in his heart.

……

The next day.

Dongfuzhong.

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

"This is a near-third-grade spiritual tea called Mist Shadow. Brother Zhou, please have a taste!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

opposite.

Zhou Jinxing took a sip of the Misty Shadow Spirit Tea, seemingly enjoying it immensely, and said with his eyes half-closed, "Excellent tea! Fellow Daoist Shen is truly enjoying himself!"

time flies.

Zhou Jinxing still remembers that forty years ago, when he first met Shen Xuan, it was at Xiaoyao Tower in Qingyang Market.

That place is a trading venue for Foundation Establishment cultivators in Qingyang Prefecture.

At that time, her daughter, Zhou Bailian, was already living with Shen Xuan.

He was very angry about this.

He knew Shen Xuan's background.

A rogue cultivator, who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at an advanced age, became a disciple of Master Gufeng through the connection with his former classmate Qin Yuehan.

The status and position of disciples of sects are far higher than those of cultivators from families.

Although Shen Xuan was born into a rogue cultivator and reached the Foundation Establishment stage at an advanced age, he was only a nominal disciple of the Lone Peak True Person.

If he were willing to marry Zhou Bailian formally, that would be fine.

What bothered Zhou Jinxing was that Shen Xuan had no such intention at all.

Zhou Bailian, on the other hand, actively pursued him.

The two were lovers who had a fleeting affair.

Zhou Bailian is rebellious and disobedient.

Despite limited family support, he was fortunate enough to lay the foundation for his future.

He has never been able to do anything about this daughter.

Upstairs at Xiaoyao Tower, Zhou Bailian appeared with Shen Xuan and directly sold the second-tier mid-grade demonic beast, the Crimson Flame Serpent.

This made him take notice of Shen Xuan's abilities.

Then, one thing after another happened concerning Shen Xuan.

Everything was beyond his expectations.

Shen Xuan was not an ordinary water magic cultivator.

They are extremely rare, being both lightning and ice cultivators.

Creating thunder talismans, refining corpse beasts, intimidating demon lords, becoming a personal disciple, killing the holy son of the demonic sect...

He was a direct descendant of two lineages and ranked first in the sect's minor competition.

Shen Xuan is now an unapproachable figure in the Zhou family.

I heard that Shen Xuan is helping the Zhou family and that they are working together to earn spirit stones.

As the former head of the family and the second-in-command of the Zhou family, he rushed over in person.
