Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 460 The Lone Demon Lord (Seeking Subscriptions)

"cannot!"

The three-tailed civet cat replied.

"Is it because Old Man Bai protected him?"

"no!"

A faint green light shone in the eyes of the three-tailed tabby cat.

"Shen Fei is a man of restrained aura and a steady heartbeat. He is not afraid of us, so he must have some trump cards up his sleeve."

Howling Moon Fox said calmly, "He is a water magic cultivator who also practices lightning and ice magic, and is skilled in lightning escape techniques."

"With just these, you can't escape my grasp."

The three-tailed tabby cat scoffed: "Water magic, lightning magic, ice magic, and body refinement mastery—this person is destined to be a prodigy of the human race."

"If you fail, the consequences will be dire. Why provoke him in the first place!"

"and."

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

"Moreover, there is a terrifying aura within him, which may be nurturing the Divine Thunder Talisman."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyuehu's expression changed.

"Divine Thunder Talisman? Yes, that's it. No wonder I've been feeling uneasy."

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

It also has a certain restraining effect on their demon king.

The three-tailed tabby cat was right.

If both sides suffer heavy losses and Shen Fei is not captured, then it will be a loss that outweighs the gains and will have endless consequences.

As demon kings, they had finally managed to occupy a spiritual vein and land.

They will not relocate unless absolutely necessary.

"What a pity for my Taiyin Mirror."

The three-tailed tabby cat rolled its eyes: "You have more than one Taiyin Mirror. Just spend some time refining a few more. I've already given him my Beast King Divine Feather."

Howling Moon Fox cursed, "You greedy wildcat! You stole your Seven Bird Feathers, of course you don't care. But my Taiyin Mirror took a hundred years of painstaking refinement."

"I think you're just after the spirit fish he promised!"

That being said.

Howling Moon Fox knew the answer.

The three-tailed tabby cat is correct.

The ability to detect scents and avoid misfortune is a signature skill of the three-tailed tabby cat.

……

Shen Xuan was indeed not afraid of the two demon kings joining forces.

It's not just because of the Divine Thunder Talisman.

Instead, he had positioned the Xuanfeng Teleportation Talisman before entering Baijia Village.

This talisman can be activated at any time to teleport someone to a designated location, thousands of miles away, in a large river.

Compared to the True Elixir Immortal who can unleash supernatural powers.

The Demon King poses far less of a threat to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan's physical body was equally powerful, no less than that of the Demon King.

Even if he couldn't defeat the Demon King's innate supernatural powers, Shen Xuan had enough means to escape safely.

One month later.

Shen Xuan handed the three lightning-proof protective garments to the Bai family patriarch and left Bai Family Village.

Before leaving, he met Hou Jing in Shen Lang's appearance.

Sell ​​him some low-level spiritual items that you don't need at a low price.

Hou Jing was extremely grateful for this.

Shen Xuan smiled and drifted away.

In fact, he completed the lightning protection garment in just four days.

Yuan bronze and black gold are quite precious, so he made one for himself as well.

Based on the Faraday cage principle, copper wire is used to form an equipotential body to prevent the body from being struck or conducted by lightning.

Shen Xuan added many decorations to the outside of the lightning protection armor to conceal it from people's eyes.

Even if others try to copy it, they won't understand the principles and are likely to make mistakes.

After completing the lightning protection garment, Shen Xuan spent the remaining time repeatedly studying the Dharma Realm cultivation insights annotated by the Bai family ancestors.

Besides various cultivation techniques.

One important point is to continuously refine the essence and blood of the descendants of the same true spirit.

Thus, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and one comprehends this innate divine power of the true spirit.

Those who are lucky enough to comprehend more than one supernatural power.

……

More than ten days later.

Shen Xuan returned to his original form, used the [Invisibility Technique], and flew to Luoxia Lake.

On a small island in the lake, Shen Xuan took out the Jianghai Wanshui Map and traded the spiritual water inside with the Purple Essence Divine Tree Demon.

Twelve branches of the Purple Essence Divine Tree were harvested.

For him now, the 600,000 spirit stones needed to refine the spiritual water in the Jianghai Wanshui Map are nothing.

Many high-grade spiritual items can only be bartered and do not accept spirit stones for trade.

These purple-colored divine wood branches are quasi-third-tier spiritual woods, and are the main materials for Shen Xuan to imprint the Divine Thunder Talisman.

After drinking the spiritual water, the Great Demon of the Purple Divine Tree asked, "Has your physical body broken through?"

"Your Majesty Ziyun has excellent eyesight! I, Shen, have fortunately broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm."

"What Dharma form?"

"Jiaolong" (蛟龙).

"The dragon is quite good."

The Purple Divine Tree let out a soft "Eh".

"What other good stuff do you have in your storage bag? Take it out and let me see."

Shen Xuan's thoughts shifted slightly.

He took out the eighteen Moon Spirit Pearls he had just acquired through the transaction.

"Your Majesty Ziyun, is this what you mean?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

On the main trunk of the Purple Essence Divine Tree, a human face appeared, and the branches transformed into arms, taking away the Moon Spirit Pearl.

"Formed from the condensed essence of Taiyin."

"What do you want to exchange this for?"

Shen Xuan asked, "Do you have any third-tier water demon blood?"

"No."

"Then please do as you please, Your Majesty Ziyun."

Previously, when he traded with the Purple Essence Divine Wood Demon, he emphasized that the two were equal transactions.

Shen Xuan simply let the Purple Essence Divine Tree Demon make the decision.

"How about this, I'll trade this item for you, it's a bargain!"

The Purple Essence Divine Tree cast a spell with its fingers forming a hand seal, and a small green ball, about the size of a fist and wrapped in layers of spiritual leaves, flew to Shen Xuan's front.

"what is this?"

"Seven years ago, a demonic bird perished here. I absorbed its remains. This is the natal demonic fire within its corpse."

Shen Xuan's heart stirred.

Having just obtained a bird king's natal feather, I also obtained a demonic fire.

Could it be that this is the will of Heaven?

Should we have him cultivate fire-attribute techniques as well?
After activating his cheat ability, Shen Xuan focused on water magic.

Water-attribute monsters are the most common and the cheapest.

Now, Shen Xuan is wealthy, proficient in alchemy and talisman techniques, and has no shortage of wealth, companions, magic, or land.

You could consider taking some time to practice another type of attribute cultivation technique as a supplement.

Of course, one can only master one skill; it's impossible to excel in everything.

"Does the Great King Ziyun know the species of that demonic bird?"

"They seem to be descendants of the Great Sun Crow."

Shen Xuan was startled and pointed to the small green ball wrapped in the spirit leaf.

"Then this..." "You're right. It's a small ball of Golden Crow True Fire."

"If nurtured properly, it can evolve into the true fire of the sun."

The Purple Divine Tree Demon said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ziyun."

Shen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony.

He made hand seals to cast the spell, first using his Xuanbing spiritual power to wrap the spirit leaf in layers, then carefully storing it in a new jade box.

After leaving Luoxia Lake, without the great demon of the Purple Essence Divine Tree casting spells, those spiritual leaves could not suppress the Golden Crow True Fire.

At this time, Shen Xuan's fire spirit root was still an inferior one, and he had not cultivated high-grade fire techniques.

This small ball of Golden Crow True Fire cannot be refined for the time being.

……

A month later.

On the border of Song and Liang, in Heiyefang.

Shen Xuan stood dozens of miles outside the market, gazing into the distance.

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

"I wonder if that fake Core Demon Lord still has the Demon Dragon's essence blood in his hands."

"But I want the demonic dragon's essence blood, but I don't want to give up a fake core. It's really a headache!"

Shen Xuan was still quite willing to trade with the fake core demon lord.

However, the fake pill was equally important to him.

It would be best to exchange it for another item.

"I've heard that this Demon Lord loves to double-cross others. I wonder if he does the same to me."

Shen Xuan changed his appearance, registered under the alias Shen Chen, and entered Black Leaf Market.

meet as planned.

Shen Xuan arrived at a dilapidated little shop specializing in cultivation techniques.

"Senior, what do you need?"

An elderly shopkeeper, whose face was covered in wrinkles and who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, bowed respectfully and said.

This is a border town.

Its most prominent characteristic is its chaotic order.

In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme, the strong prey on the weak, and a strict hierarchy prevails.

"I need to deliver a message."

Shen Xuan took out a piece of spiritual paper, drew several shapes on it, and handed it to the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper glanced at it and his expression changed drastically.

Can you deliver it?

Shen Xuan asked calmly.

"Yes! This is what we do for a living."

"That's good."

Shen Xuan nodded, said no more, turned and left the shop, departing from Black Leaf Market.

……

Ten days later.

late at night.

One hundred miles east of Heiyefang City, at the summit of a mountain.

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

A black-clad cultivator arrived silently.

"Ah Feng, you're here!"

Shen Xuan turned around.

The black-clad monk was none other than Ling Zhenfeng, his former classmate and close friend.

"Brother Shen!"

The two smiled at each other.

Shen Xuan exchanged a few pleasantries with Ling Zhenfeng and inquired about the situation in both Song and Liang.

Now, Ling Zhenfeng has become the Holy Son of the Yin Sha Sect.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be on the list for the next Dao-Demon Trial.

The higher one's status and position, the more inside information one knows.

"it's complicated!"

Ling Zhenfeng remarked with emotion.

He told Shen Xuan that the Hehuan Sect had sent intelligence that the Yan Kingdom was preparing for war and intended to invade the Song Kingdom again.

However, this time, the six clans of Liang may not necessarily come to the aid of Song.

"Why is that? Don't they understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"

"It is said that the six clans of Liang demanded too much, and the seven clans of Song did not agree. Moreover, it seems that there are problems within the seven clans of Song."

"The Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect disagree."

Shen Xuan sighed.

It appears that the leadership of the Xuantian Sect has been challenged by the Jinyang Sect.

He had no affection for the seven emperors of the Song Dynasty.

However, in the Song Kingdom, he still had his mentor and close friends, as well as Su Xue'er and his adopted descendants.

Even now, he still can't let it go.

"The seven sects of the Song Kingdom all have a Nascent Soul True Lord presiding over them."

"Even if the battle goes against us, the core area of ​​the sect should be safe."

At this moment, Shen Xuan was powerless to do anything about it.

Can only be left to fate.

Ultimately, it comes down to his lack of ability.

If he were a Golden Core cultivator now.

It can absolutely protect your family and friends.

If he were to return to the Qingyun Sect at this time...

They are likely to become victims of power struggles among the sect's upper echelons.

"Form your Golden Core as soon as possible and return to the Azure Cloud Sect!"

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

If he had no relatives or friends in this world, and was all alone.

That would truly be as lonely as snow, utterly devoid of any joy.

"That fake Core Demon Lord still possesses the essence blood of the Demon Dragon?"

"There should be. However, I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

Ling Zhenfeng asked, "Brother Shen, do you still want to use a fake pill to trade for the essence blood of the demonic dragon?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"I want the essence blood of the demonic dragon, but I don't want to give you the real person's fake core."

"This……"

Ling Zhenfeng was speechless at these words.

"This Lone Demon Lord, although only at the Pseudo-Core stage, possesses extraordinary demonic skills and has a record of killing True Core cultivators."

After a long pause, Ling Zhenfeng finally spoke.

There was a subtle hint of persuasion.

The higher the level of a cultivator, the more cautious they are in their actions.

Among high-level cultivators, killing each other is no easy task.

If one is not absolutely certain of victory, merely defeating the opponent without eliminating them will lead to endless troubles.

"Ah Feng, give me the information about the Lone Demon Lord first. I'll think about it."

"it is good!"

Previously, Shen Xuan had a deal with the Lone Demon Lord.

Ling Zhenfeng handed over the intelligence jade slip that he had prepared beforehand.

"Come back here in ten days. We will discuss this matter in more detail."
