Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 449 The Fake Core Demon King (Seeking Subscriptions)

"The Fake Core Demon King!"

"Could it be that this person possesses extraordinary abilities, capable of killing the False Core Demon King in the deep waters of the East Sea?"

"Impossible! Even a fake Core Formation cultivator wouldn't be able to kill him without a chance!"

Even a True Core cultivator needs to consider the right timing!

This time, Shen Xuan's words caused a huge stir.

Various murmurs and discussions arose in the private room.

Half of the participants in this trade fair are water-based cultivators.

Don't talk about fake alchemists or real people.

Even those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage are extremely rare.

There were only three people in the entire room.

These three individuals were all patriarchs of powerful cultivation families in the Starry Sea.

They are the pillars of the family.

Even they, if they encountered a fake core water demon in the Starry Sea, their first thought would be to flee.

Hesitating even for a moment is irresponsible to one's ancestors.

The top-tier warships in the Starry Sea are only Tier 2 Excellent quality.

It's adequate for dealing with second-tier top-grade water demons.

Facing a fake core demon king, the most likely outcome is that the ship will be destroyed and everyone will perish.

The difference between a False Core Formation and a Perfected Foundation Establishment is a vast gap, as if separated by heaven and earth.

A fake Core Formation cultivator can easily defeat three Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators.

If it were a water sprite, it would be even worse.

The gap will only widen.

Shen Xuan remained unmoved despite hearing the murmurs from the crowd.

Since he brought it up, he must have already planned it out in his mind.

For him at this moment.

A second-tier top-grade water demon is nothing special.

In the vast expanse of the Starry Sea, in some remote and untouched deep sea areas, there are second-tier top-grade water demons.

What truly interested him was the fake elixir-wielding water demon.

Demon cores, beast meat, essence blood, etc., every part of it is a treasure.

Its value is more than ten times that of a second-tier top-grade water demon.

He can use all of them.

With his strength as a body refiner in the Dharma Aspect Realm, coupled with numerous water-based innate skills, as well as his immortal armor and golden-bodied corpse beast, he possessed immense power.

Shen Xuan was 90% confident that he could kill the fake Core Demon King in the sea.

In fact, even a True Core Demon King would be a match for Shen Xuan.

However, there's no need for that.

It's always better to be cautious in everything you do.

Shen Xuan repeated it again.

"High price offered for information on the Fake Core Demon King! Any fellow cultivators have information to offer? High price!"

Finally, someone spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist, what price are you referring to? Tell me!"

Shen Xuan said, "One water-attribute Foundation Establishment Pill should be considered a high price."

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy auction hall immediately fell silent.

One Foundation Establishment Pill in exchange for information about a fake Core Demon King!
Where else can you find such a good deal!
It quieted down for a bit.

Someone couldn't help but shout, "What kind of intelligence do you need?"

"It's very simple. The name of the fake Core Demon King, its activity area, and its activity time. Here, I want to emphasize one point. This only applies to fake Core Demon Kings; true Core Demon Kings are not acceptable."

"In addition, those who provide intelligence must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and sign a spiritual contract. If the intelligence is incorrect, they must return double the intelligence fee."

"Of course, the Foundation Building Pills I brought out are of qualified quality and can withstand testing."

Shen Xuan turned to Patriarch Wei: "Brother Wei, is this kind of deal acceptable?"

The head of the Wei family nodded slowly.

"That's how it should be."

Actually, at this moment, his mind was also completely blank.

Strictly speaking, there are no fake core demon kings in the Starry Sea.

They can only appear at the edge of the Starry Sea.

Even the Wei family wouldn't hunt down a fake core demon king.

If anything goes wrong, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die, and the entire family will suffer a devastating blow.

Training a Foundation Establishment cultivator is not easy.

It not only requires a large investment of cultivation resources, but also time for growth.

Take the Wei family as an example.

Currently, there are more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family.

On average, it takes about ten years for one cultivator from the Wei family to successfully establish their foundation.

Patriarch Wei had no idea what this person relied on to acquire information about the fake Core Demon King in front of so many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Starry Sea.

"Could it be that this person has a powerful background, and was instructed by the True Person to collect information on the Fake Core Demon King?"

In any case, the Wei family head would not associate the person who hunted the fake core demon king with the early Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him.

Information about the fake Core Demon King isn't particularly valuable.

Foundation Establishment cultivators have no use for it at all.

However, things are valued for their scarcity.

As long as the Foundation Establishment cultivators present do not leave the Starry Sea waters, they will almost never encounter a False Core Demon King.

As for those legends...

It hasn't been verified, so I dare not use it to trade with Shen Xuan.

After all, it was both a spiritual pact and a vow to Heaven.

If the rumors are untrue, double compensation will be required.

Shen Xuan waited for a while, and then time was running out.

He was preparing to step down.

A voice from the divine spirit reached my ears.

“Fellow Daoist, I do know some information about a fake Core Demon King.”

To Shen Xuan's surprise, it was actually the head of the Wei family who responded to him.

"The Wei family of Lion King Island is very powerful and holds trade fairs regularly. It's normal for them to know about the fake core demon king."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

However, the Wei family head used soul transmission.

They simply didn't want outsiders to know.

"Is this Brother Wei? No problem, how about the trade?"

"Fellow Daoist, please return to your private room. An elder from the Wei family will come to discuss this further."

"Very well! I'll be waiting."

Shen Xuan stepped down from the auction stage, looking like he had gained nothing, while Shi Ranran returned to her private room.

Not long after.

An elderly man in a green robe with white hair and beard and sharp eyes walked into Shen Xuan's private room.

"I am Wei Tianhe, and I greet young friend Shen."

"You are... the patriarch of the Wei family?"

Shen Xuan judged it from the aura emanating from Wei Tianhe.

Foundation building complete.

Such a level of attainment is only achieved by the Wei family's patriarch.

"Young Master Shen is quite capable!"

Shen Xuan removed the Wei family's robe and mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

"Shen Fei, a guest of the Chen family on Shenlong Island, greets Brother Wei."

Wei Tianhe scrutinized Shen Xuan repeatedly.

His divine sense swept over Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan smiled confidently and calmly. He had mastered the [Illusionary Form Technique], perfected the [Concealing Breath Technique], and recently cultivated the [Thousand Transformations].

Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator has reached the pinnacle of their cultivation, it is very difficult for them to see through his disguise.

In fact, after cultivating the [Endless Life] technique, Shen Xuan's blood and energy were thriving, making him almost indistinguishable from a Foundation Establishment cultivator in his forties.

Wei Tianhe asked, "May I ask which sect Young Friend Shen comes from?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Wei, but my master has ordered that I must not reveal the sect or my master's name when I travel outside."

"understand."

Wei Tianhe nodded slightly.

"Here I have a fake Core Demon King, the Electric Ray Demon Fish..."

After listening, Shen Xuan readily took out a Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Oh, isn't it about signing a spiritual contract and making a vow to the Heavenly Dao?"

"Brother Wei is too kind. I trust Brother Wei!"

The electric ray demon fish is extremely terrifying to other cultivators.

Not only is the voltage high and the current strong, but the discharge frequency is also extremely fast.

It is said that each breath can reach more than a hundred times.

But for Shen Xuan, the electric ray demon fish is his favorite type of water monster.

Because he's not afraid of electricity!
It inherently possesses the perfect-level [Electric Dao Body].

You can also use the "Water-Repelling Technique" to sever the surrounding seawater and create a non-conductive vacuum area.

As for the physical body.

Shen Xuan, who has transformed into a dragon and is a body refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm, cannot possibly lose to the Electric Ray Demon Fish in a contest of physical strength.

The fake core demon king, the electric ray demon fish, posed very little threat to him.

"Young friend Shen, please forgive my intrusion. Are you gathering information on the False Core Demon King to hunt down this fiend?"

"How can it be!"

Shen Xuan said solemnly, "This is a sect mission. I am only responsible for gathering intelligence. Subsequent matters are beyond my control."

"That's right. I misspoke."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wei Tianhe extended a warm invitation to Shen Xuan to stay on Shenlong Island for a few days.

Shen Xuan declined, citing prior commitments with his companion.

……

This was the Wei family testing Shen Xuan.

At the auction, Shen Xuan acquired information about the fake Core Demon King.

This will inevitably attract the attention of the Wei family.

Originally, Shen Xuan also wanted to take this opportunity to make connections with the Wei family.

Using the Wei family's influence in the Starry Sea, while focusing on cultivation, try to collect more cultivation resources.

The fake Core Demon King is of paramount importance.

The business of alchemy cannot be completely abandoned.

What Shen Xuan didn't expect was...

The Wei family paid so much attention to him.

The clan's patriarch personally visited their home.

However, Shen Xuan was well-prepared and left no room for error.

The Wei family patriarch could not trace his origins.

After the trade fair concluded.

Shen Xuan met up with Zheng Danshi and Mu Ling'er.

They left Lion King Island together.

The airship returned to Spring Breeze Island.

Along the way, Mu Ling'er was quite excited, chattering away like a lark, recounting her experiences on Lion King Island.

She sold two sets of formations and made a considerable profit.

Shen Xuan pretended to listen attentively, smiling but saying nothing.

If we're talking about the gains...

One fake Core Demon King Electric Ray Demon Fish is worth more than ten sets of formations Mu Ling'er could acquire.

When they were still a hundred miles from the island, a spaceship appeared ahead.

It was not a case of being followed.

Instead, they waited patiently for the rabbit to run into their trap.

"It's the Xu family's spaceship! Elder Zheng, let's get out of the way!"

"Mu Ling'er exclaimed in surprise."

Shen Xuan stared intently at it.

The spaceship has a family crest, which appears to be a divine eagle about to take flight, and is signed with the character "Xu".

"The Xu family has some nerve, daring to cause trouble in the Starry Sea!"

That being said.

Master Zheng Dan continued to pilot the flying boat, turning around and flying rapidly.

The spaceship is equipped with multiple psionic cannons.

The flying boat is merely a magical artifact used to carry people in flight; it has almost no harmful power.

"Zheng Ziyi, stop the flying boat! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

The spaceship behind them caught up, and a monk's shout rang out.

Zheng Danshi's eyes were cold.

The other person even called him by his name.

Clearly, they had already figured out his background.

"We are the Xu family of the True Meaning Sect! Fellow Daoist Zheng, do not make a mistake for yourself!"

On the deck of the warship, a middle-aged cultivator in brocade robes shouted, revealing himself to be at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"Ignore him! Let's go to Phoenix Perch Island!"

"it is good!"

Phoenix Perch Island is a deserted island near Dragon Island, without any spiritual veins.

Master Zheng is a cultivator of the Golden Law, and he also has to operate the flying boat.

Mu Ling'er is a wood-based cultivator and an array master.

Neither of them is suited to fight on the sea.

Moreover, the chances of a flying boat defeating a warship are slim.

Master Zheng intensified his spiritual energy, steered the flying boat at breakneck speed, and flew all the way to Phoenix Perch Island.

The Xu family's spaceship followed.

"If you don't stop, we're going to open fire!"

The Xu family cultivator in brocade robes shouted threateningly.

The dark, ghostly muzzles of the psionic cannons all turned to lock onto the airship.

The airship was forced to land.

Zheng Danshi summoned his flying sword and coldly glanced at the person opposite him.

"My name is Xu Ningzhong. I greet Fellow Daoist Zheng and Fellow Daoist Shen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan's expression froze.

It seems the other side came prepared.

Even an unknown person like him has been figured out.

"Mu Ling'er, you wouldn't want your friend to perish here, would you?"

Xu Ningzhong held a dark yellow spirit shield and said coldly.

Mu Ling'er said coldly, "Xu Ningzhong, is this how your Xu family behaves? Using my friend to threaten me?"

"Mu Ling'er, if you obediently surrender, I might consider sparing their lives."

A deep voice came.

Mu Ling'er gritted her teeth: "Xu Ningyu, you refined scoundrel, get out here!"

"Me, a refined scoundrel? Mu Ling'er, I am your unmarried husband!"

A handsome young man in brocade robes, with a refined and arrogant demeanor, leaped out of the warship and stood before Mu Ling'er.
