Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 447 The Lion King Tournament (Please Subscribe)

After the banquet, Qiu Haoran personally saw Zheng Danshi off.

"Mr. Zheng, I will pay you a visit in a few days."

Master Zheng chuckled.

"Alright. I, Zheng, will be waiting for you on Spring Breeze Island."

"Fairy Mu, Master Shen, it's time to say goodbye today. We'll meet again soon. Take care, both of you!"

"I thank Young Master Qiu."

Shen Xuan's status has been elevated.

Although she is still ranked behind Mu Ling'er, at least they are now on par.

Actually, Shen Xuan didn't care.

He hoped that others would ignore him as much as possible.

It's best to ignore him completely and treat him like he's invisible.

Mu Ling'er casually clasped her hands in a fist salute as a return greeting.

Just now, after hearing about Master Zheng's success rate in elixirs.

Qiu Haoran and the others' expressions changed instantly.

He held Zheng Danshi in even higher esteem.

Even Shen Xuan benefited from it.

"So, at first, they only wanted to win over Master Zheng, without considering the profit issue."

"Now, they are really going to cooperate with Master Zheng in alchemy and profit from it."

Master Zheng is a cultivator specializing in metal magic, and he's also exceptionally skilled in combat.

He actually became a second-tier alchemist.

If it weren't for his outstanding abilities and extensive connections in the Starry Sea...

Many cultivation families would try to keep them captive and exploit them to the point of death.

"Qiu Haoran must have weighed the options carefully. He couldn't control Master Zheng, so he decided to cooperate in alchemy."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Even a rogue alchemist needs a certain level of strength to protect himself.

Master Zheng accepted the banquet invitation, having long harbored the intention to collaborate with Qiu Haoran in alchemy.

At the same time, they leveraged the influence of the Qiu family on Qiuyue Island.

“With the Chen family of Shenlong Island and the Qiu family of Qiuyue Island backing him up, Master Zheng is safe and sound.”

None of these veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators were stupid.

His ability to manipulate people's hearts was already unparalleled.

After Zheng Danshi, Mu Ling'er, Shen Xuan and the others had gone far away.

Qiu Haoran asked, "Old Li, Seventeenth Uncle, do you think what Zheng Ziyi said is true?"

“It should be true.”

Li Chengjiang said solemnly, "I have known Zheng Ziyi for many years. He has always been consistent in word and deed and is not a superficial person."

Qiu Yushu agreed, saying, "Zheng Ziyi has quite a reputation in the Starry Sea. Not only is he outstanding in combat, but he also has a close relationship with the Chen family patriarch."

"I know."

Qiu Haoran smiled and said, "It seems that there is great potential for the Qiu family to cooperate with him in alchemy!"

"By the way, Elder Li, do you know the identities of the other two?"

Li Chengjiang pondered for a moment and said, "Fairy Mu, who calls herself Mu Ling'er, should be a member of the Mu family of the True Meaning Sect."

"So young, yet already at the Foundation Establishment stage, and a second-tier array master at that! His future is limitless!"

"But I don't know why I ended up in such a desolate and dangerous place as the Starry Sea."

Qiu Haoran's expression showed slight surprise: "A member of the Mu family, a top-tier family of the True Meaning Sect? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?"

Li Chengjiang wholeheartedly agreed.

"No matter what, young master, do not provoke this person. One wrong move could bring great disaster to the Qiu family."

"I know. What about that Master Shen?"

"I don't know. I've lived in the Starry Sea for a hundred years and have never heard of this person. He must have moved here from elsewhere recently."

"Oh. That's just some nobody. Ignore him."

Qiu Haoran was calculating in his mind how to extract the greatest benefit from Master Zheng.

A second-tier alchemist is considered a decent bargaining chip in this vast sea of ​​stars.

……

"Old Zheng, is the Qiu family on Qiuyue Island reliable?"

On the way back, Mu Ling'er asked.

"reliable?"

Master Zheng sneered: "Ling'er, in this world, only the magic weapon in your own hands is truly reliable."

"If I only knew how to refine pills, I would have been ambushed by petty villains long ago."

Mu Ling'er fell silent.

In fact, after arriving at Starry Sea, she rarely left the island.

Each time she went out, the Chen family would send a Foundation Establishment cultivator to accompany her.

The three returned to the Wei family's territory.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator Trade Fair is about to begin.

Shen Xuan glanced at it.

There are approximately three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It accounts for 30% of the entire Starry Sea.

The Chen family of Shenlong Island also sent two Foundation Establishment cultivators to participate.

The trade fair was divided into two parts: the first half and the second half.

The first half of the event was held at the Wei family estate square.

The participating cultivators each displayed their spiritual items for trade, setting them out like stalls.

Specify the name, rank, function, and item you wish to trade for the spirit.

The second half of the event involved concealing identities and conducting the auction.

No matter who or what kind of spirit or object it is, it can be put up for auction.

In this way, the transactions in the first half of the game are like spiritual objects that can be brought into the open.

Relatively speaking, its value is also lower.

"Fellow Daoists, welcome to Lion King Island!"

The trade conference was hosted by Wei Yuanhong, the head of the Wei family.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, a water-based magic practitioner, commanding respect throughout the entire area.

Wei Yuanhong delivered a passionate speech, guaranteeing the personal safety and privacy of the attendees.

Regardless of their status, anyone on Lion King Island is a distinguished guest of the Wei family.

In his opening remarks, Wei Yuanhong repeatedly emphasized that all fellow Daoists should abide by the rules and refrain from forced buying and selling.

As the organizer, the Wei family will do everything in its power to maintain order at the trade fair.

After Wei Yuanhong finished speaking, he announced the official start of the Starry Sea Foundation Establishment Cultivator Trade Fair.

Many monks come here frequently and quickly seize advantageous positions.

Before long, more than a hundred stalls were set up in the Wei family's square.

Shen Xuan followed behind Master Zheng, observing the surroundings.

Various elixirs, talismans, formations, magic weapons, robes, spiritual plants, medicinal herbs, spirit beasts, refining materials, and so on.

A wide variety of items, a dazzling array.

Master Zheng found an old alchemist familiar with the place.

Bargain with the other party.

I purchased three high-quality Creation Pills for 4,800 spirit stones.

After the transaction was completed, Master Zheng Dan immediately presented it to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan thanked him a few times and politely accepted the gift.

The two of them had a tacit understanding.

This is the reward Shen Xuan received for guiding Master Zheng in alchemy.

The law should not be passed lightly.

Master Zheng was unwilling to owe anyone a favor. After that, Master Zheng went to find the herbalist who had set up a stall to discuss the medicinal herbs.

He will not allow Qiu Haoran to control all the supply channels for elixirs and medicinal herbs.

Mu Ling'er set up a stall with great interest, selling various second-order array formations, array plates, and array flags, and accepting custom orders for second-order arrays.

She never took off the thin veil covering her face.

Therefore, many people looked at Mu Ling'er's stall, but not a single person was truly willing to cooperate with her.

How can these cultivation forces trust people who are unwilling to even reveal their appearance?

Shen Xuan sat quietly beside Mu Ling'er's stall without saying a word.

At that moment, a slightly fishy, ​​malevolent aura wafted towards them.

"Evil cultivator?"

In sight, two fierce-looking Foundation Establishment cultivators, one tall and one thin, wearing beast armor covered in scars, came to Mu Ling'er's stall.

"Can you set up a Blood-Transforming and Evil-Condensing Array?"

The tall, sinister cultivator asked in a sinister tone.

"will not."

"What about the Soul Refining and Soul-Seizing Array?"

"will not."

"You can't do this, you can't do that, what kind of formation master are you!"

Beside him, the short, evil cultivator spoke angrily.

"I am a spiritual cultivator, how could I know these demonic sect formations! Are you here specifically to cause trouble?"

Mu Ling'er said in an unhappy tone.

The two heretical practitioners were furious.

"Little girl, you're so young, yet you have quite the temper! Do you even recognize us, the Blood Bone Duo?"

"Talking to us like that, they have a death wish!"

Mu Ling'er was terrified.

"You...you're bullying me!"

Before the two heretical practitioners could react...

A chilling flying sword suddenly swept in.

He stopped flying about ten feet away, the tip of his sword pointing at the two evil cultivators.

A flash of blue light, the flying sword split into two, then four, then eight...

In just a few breaths.

More than a hundred identical high-grade flying swords surrounded the two evil cultivators.

"The Blood Bone Duo were allowed in because of the Sea Dragon King."

"You dare cause trouble here? You don't want to live anymore!"

Amidst the clanging of swords, a burst of sword light erupted and soared into the sky.

It seemed ready to launch at any moment.

"Not bad sword intent!"

Shen Xuan, standing to the side, sensed the power of the Wei family head's flying sword.

"Such sword intent is not far from that of sword cultivators of the same level in the Qingyun Sect."

After all, they are a family of cultivators.

It's still a barren place like the outer islands and dikes.

The strength of the Wei family head is close to that of a cultivator of the same level from a major sect, which is already quite impressive.

"Patriarch Wei, we brothers were just joking with the little girl!"

“Yes, the Wei family has been holding trade fairs for a hundred years without ever failing. How could we brothers dare to break the rules?”

"It's good to know!"

Seeing the two give in, the Wei family snorted coldly and put away their flying swords.

The Blood Bone Duo exchanged a glance and obediently left Mu Ling'er's stall.

Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Mu Ling'er.

"My lady, you've been frightened. I apologize."

"Patriarch Wei, you wish to purchase my array formations? I recommend this Ruyi Gale Killing Array!"

The head of the Wei family was slightly taken aback.

He burst into laughter in an instant.

"Alright, I'll take this Ruyi Gangfeng Killing Formation."

This is the most expensive formation that Mu Ling'er has set up.

The price is as high as 98,000 spirit stones.

After the transaction was completed, the head of the Wei family left gracefully.

Mu Ling'er was in a great mood and winked at Shen Xuan, her face full of smugness.

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

He could see it for himself.

The Blood Bone Duo are acting with Mu Ling'er.

The two sides had known each other for a long time.

It was clearly Mu Ling'er's doing.

Shen Xuan guessed that the Wei family head was also aware of this.

However, due to Mu Ling'er's identity, the Wei family head chose to endure it.

Shen Xuan was puzzled as to how Mu Ling'er had gotten involved with the pirate who had robbed the Sea Dragon King.

According to information from Tianxian Academy.

The Sea Dragon King is the largest pirate leader in the Starry Sea, bar none.

His cultivation level has likely reached the False Core stage.

He has as many as twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators under his command.

Many of them are heretical cultivators or demonic cultivators.

All merchant ships passing through the Starry Sea must pay taxes to the Dragon King of the Sea.

Only by planting the flag bearing the symbol of the Sea Dragon King can one travel freely without hindrance.

Otherwise, no matter which cultivation family you belong to or what power is behind you.

They would all be robbed and killed by pirates.

The Sea Dragon King himself possessed a large number of warships and merchant ships, traveling between Starfall and the land to conduct fair trade.

In fact, the cultivation families of the Starry Sea and the pirate Dragon King who raided the cultivation sea have a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.

This is why the Blood Bone Duo were able to enter Lion King Island and participate in the trade fair.

Two hours later, the first half ended.

Everyone rested for a while.

The Wei family held a grand banquet, with all kinds of spiritual wines, spiritual dishes, and monster meat laid out in abundance.

Ten people per table, sit wherever you like.

The Wei family head, accompanied by two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the family, toasted each of them.

When they arrived at Shen Xuan's table.

Patriarch Wei laughed loudly: "Brother Zheng, I've heard you've achieved great success in alchemy, we should celebrate properly!"

Master Zheng smiled and said, "Patriarch Wei, this is but a trivial skill, with only slight progress. How dare I presume to claim any mastery of alchemy!"

"Hehe, Brother Zheng is still so modest! By the way, this is my son Wei Zhentao and my daughter Wei Feiyan. Brother Zheng, please take care of these young people out of respect for me."

"Not at all, not at all. At my age, I still need their care!"

Wei Zhentao and Wei Feiyan stepped forward to offer their respects and toasts, treating Master Zheng Dan with great courtesy.

"This must be Fairy Mu. Your formation is indeed impressive! When you have time, come visit Lion King Island more often. Zhentao, Feiyan, you are both young people, get to know each other better."

Mu Ling'er did not drink alcohol, but rose and gave a slight curtsy.

"Master Shen, I toast you!"

Shen Xuan quickly stood up, looking extremely apprehensive.

He poured himself a full glass of spirit wine and, imitating the Wei family head, drank it all in one gulp.

The Wei family head asked casually, "By the way, Master Shen, why don't I see you selling spirit talismans?"
