Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 461 Slaying Demons and Seizing Treasures (Seeking Subscriptions)
early morning.

Liang Kingdom, Black Maple Ridge.

This is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Yin Sha Sect.

On this vast land, the Xixia Mountains stretch for thousands of miles like a winding black dragon.

Black Maple Ridge is a dragon scale on the body of this Black Dragon Mountain Range.

It is named after a type of maple tree that grows abundantly there, with lush foliage and a completely black body.

This black maple tree has an extremely strong vitality.

It can grow wherever there is a little soil.

However, what truly made Black Maple Ridge famous was the abundant Yuan Sha ore produced there.

Using the secret techniques of the Demonic Sect, Yuan Sha Qi was condensed from Yuan Sha ore.

Yuan Sha Qi can be used as a supplement to Yin Sha Qi in the cultivation of demonic arts.

The Yin Sha Sect set up a mining area in Black Maple Ridge, recruiting spiritual cultivators, demonic cultivators, and martial artists from the Liang Kingdom, and signing mining contracts with them.

Mine entrance.

Three Yin Sha Sect demonic cultivators, along with a dozen or so demonic disciples, brandished long demonic whips, urging the miners to start work.

"Hurry up, you idiot! Gather enough so we can get off work sooner!"

Most of the miners were Qi Refining Realm cultivators, with a few being mortal martial artists. They all had blank expressions and numbly signed for the mining magic blades before lining up to enter the mine.

Beside them, a ragged, emaciated scholar, at the second level of Qi Refining, respectfully served freshly brewed spiritual tea to the three mine stewards.

One of the deacons took a sip of the spiritual tea and couldn't help but praise, "Old Zhao, your newly hired handyman is quite skilled at brewing tea!"

The middle steward glanced at the thin scholar and said coldly, "That's all he's capable of!"

After serving three cups of spiritual tea, the thin scholar tactfully withdrew and stood by the tea stove, listless and drowsy.

At this moment, these three demon-based cultivators had no idea what kind of shock the scholar they spoke of would bring them.

This person was none other than Shen Xuan.

After using the [Concealing Breath Technique] and [Illusion Technique], he then used [Thousand Transformations] to transform into a thin scholar at the second level of Qi Refining.

While passing through Black Maple Ridge, they were kidnapped by demonic cultivators from the Yin Sha Sect and sold to the Yuan Sha Stone Mine.

Fortunately, he claimed to be skilled in tea ceremony, which prevented him from becoming a mine slave.

He became a full-time tea-brewing servant, using his exquisite tea ceremony skills to serve the demonic cultivators of the Yin Sha Sect.

The reason Shen Xuan did this.

It's because I made up my mind.

Instead of trading with the Lone Demon Lord, they will directly kill the demon and seize the treasure.

He was unwilling to produce either a real human or a fake pill, nor was he willing to produce a flying sword or a magical artifact.

The flying sword artifact is not needed for the time being.

However, once he breaks through to the Core Formation Realm, he can find a way to fuse the Ice Soul Divine Sword with a flying sword spirit weapon, thereby upgrading its grade to the spirit weapon level.

Moreover, the reputation of the Lone Demon Sect is not good.

They often double-cross each other during transactions.

Since that's the case, he decided to use their own methods against them.

Just grab it directly, why bother with trading!
It's not like he can't defeat the Lone Demon Lord.

When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue.

Daze robbed his mother!

Everyone is like this.

They seized it by force.

The Yuan Sha Stone Mine in Black Wind Ridge is an industry under the name of the Lone Demon Lord.

With Ling Zhenfeng's help, Shen Xuan successfully infiltrated the group.

This is the benefit of being "ever-changing".

It can be freely changed and imitated.

The demonic cultivators of the Yin Sha Sect couldn't see through Shen Xuan at all.

With this divine skill in hand, as long as one does not enter the core area of ​​the Demon Sect and does not encounter the True Core Demon Lord, one can survive.

Shen Xuan could freely enter and leave other parts of Liang Kingdom.

The sun is rising.

While feeling drowsy, Shen Xuan closed his eyes to rest, secretly making plans.

"According to the intelligence gathered by Ah Feng, the Lone Demon Lord will be inspecting the Black Wind Ridge mine today."

"The False Core Demon Lord also lacks supernatural powers, and his physical body is even inferior to that of a spiritual cultivator."

"To strike in full view of everyone, we must act swiftly and decisively, ending the battle quickly and making a rapid retreat..."

"Don't worry about too much, the closer the better, just grab the storage bag."

Most demonic cultivators are suspicious.

All valuable treasures were kept in storage bags and carried with one's person.

Only Ling Zhenfeng knew his identity.

As long as Ling Zhenfeng remains undetected, no one can trace him back to him.

Take a step back and say that.

Even if they find out, it's nothing.

As a direct disciple of the Grand Master of the Song Kingdom, the ambush and assassination of the False Core Demon Lord was merely a personal grudge.

Even if the Yin Sha Sect seeks revenge on the Qing Yun Sect.

Shen Xuan wouldn't take it to heart.

The essence blood of the demonic dragon was extremely important to him.

Killing the Lone Demon Lord and seizing his storage bag is the simplest way to obtain the Demon Dragon's essence blood.

As for whether or not they will fail.

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

"To be on the safe side, let's go straight for the kill and use the Divine Thunder Talisman to clear the way."

His Divine Thunder Talisman had been nurtured in his dantian for thirty years.

It's almost reached its power limit.

You can change to a new batch and nurture three cards anew.

"In the end, they still haven't figured out the divine power to kill with one move, and can only rely on external things."

……

The sky brightened.

In the mining area, all the miners went into the mine shafts.

Black Maple Ridge gradually calmed down.

The three demonic cultivators from the Yin Sha Sect gathered together and started chatting.

Shen Xuan appeared drowsy and listless.

In fact, he has perfected his innate skills such as "smell detection", "keen observation", "listening to all sides", and "insight" to monitor the entire Black Maple Ridge.

As the sun rises, its golden rays spread far and wide.

At this moment, three cultivators arrived in a black bone boat.

coming!

Shen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

Retract the spying skill.

On the black bone boat, a black-robed cultivator, over nine feet tall with deep-set eyes and a fierce gaze, swept his divine sense across the Yuan Sha Stone mine.

"Master, the output of the Black Maple Ridge mine has decreased by 20% compared to previous years!"

Beside him, a slender young demon-based cultivator said, "Master, if you ask me, Senior Brother Zhao is still too weak in his actions. Why sign a mining spirit contract? It would be much better to just sign a Blood Spirit Demon Contract!"

"Make these miners work themselves to death. Anyone who doesn't finish their daily mining quota will have their Blood Spirit Explosion made, and then we'll see who dares to slack off!"

"That's what another, more robust, demonic monk said."

The Lone Demon Lord nodded.

"Third brother, wait a moment, I will announce that you will be in charge of the Black Maple Ridge Mine."

"We must increase the production of Yuan Sha ore."

Upon hearing this, the robust demon-based cultivator was overjoyed: "Disciple obeys! Master, rest assured, disciple will not fail your trust!"

As they spoke, the black bone boat stopped at the entrance of the mine.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Zhao, along with his fellow demonic cultivators, all came forward to kneel and pay their respects.

Shen Xuan knelt at the very back, dazed and confused.

"Get up!"

The Lone Demon Lord inquired about the mining situation at the mine.

"Second brother, hand over the mine business to third brother. I have other tasks for you to do."

The demonic cultivator surnamed Zhao glared at the robust demonic cultivator, his eyes filled with hatred.

Nevertheless, he still had to take out the ledger and hand it over to the robust demonic cultivator.

The handover was completed shortly afterward.

The Lone Demon Lord beckoned: "Second brother, come here."

"Yes, Master."

The demonic cultivator surnamed Zhao had just approached.

The Lone Demon Lord extended a fair and tender right hand, radiating a dark and malevolent aura. It suddenly swelled up and, as if taking something out of a bag, plunged it into his chest cavity, squeezing his heart.

"Master!"

The demonic cultivator surnamed Zhao was pale and dared not move. His lips trembled as he said, "Master, spare my life!"

"Spare me?"

The Lone Demon Lord's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"I told you to manage the Yuan Sha Stone mine. Instead of doing your job properly, you dared to embezzle my Yuan Sha Qi!"

"disciple……"

"Disciple was wrong, Master, please spare my life!"

The Lone Demon Lord sneered, "Second brother, do you still remember the oath you swore when you became a disciple? I will follow Master's orders and go through fire and water without hesitation, even at the cost of my life."

Seeing that there was no way out, the demonic cultivator surnamed Zhao became bolder.

“Master, you have no use for that Yuan Sha Qi! Your disciple has served you faithfully for 130 years! Even if I have no merit, I have certainly worked hard!”

"Just for such a small amount of Yuan Sha Qi, you want to kill me? This disciple is not convinced!"

Instead of being angry, the Lone Demon Lord laughed: "Oh, still not convinced? Second brother, you're getting tough now!"

"I wonder if you'll still be so tough when I refine your soul into the Myriad Souls Banner later!"

The others held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Just as the Lone Demon Lord was sneering and preparing to use his methods on the demon cultivator surnamed Zhao...

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of alarm, his demonic body trembled slightly, and he abruptly turned his head.

A thin, frail scholar walked toward him.

"Stop, who are you!"

The thin scholar remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued to walk over unhurriedly.

The demonic cultivators present were all stunned.

Even the demonic cultivator surnamed Zhao was completely baffled.

This scholar must have been scared out of his mind.

"How dare you! You try to play tricks on me!"

The Lone Demon Lord crushed the heart of the demonic cultivator surnamed Zhao with a single blow.

The scholar across from them suddenly opened his mouth.

"No!"

The Lone Demon Lord roared, his eyes blazing with fury!

In his sight, a divine lightning talisman radiating terrifying power instantly transformed into a lightning arc over a hundred feet long and as thick as a giant python, carrying a violent aura capable of destroying everything, and struck directly at his body.

"Boom!"

Lightning illuminated the entire Black Maple Ridge.

The Lone Demon Lord activated a demonic energy shield in time, barely managing to withstand the power of the divine thunder talisman.

However, the demonic cultivators beside him were merely shaken by the aftershocks of the Divine Thunder Talisman and instantly turned into clouds of blood mist and fragments, dying a violent death.

The magical artifacts and storage bags were all twisted and broken.

"Pity!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Then, he transformed himself.

A golden body sixteen feet tall, with a blue face and fangs, a divine dragon appearance, and celestial armor.

He brandished his golden staff and unleashed a powerful strike, "Mount Tai Pressing Down," slashing down at the Lone Demon Lord within the demonic energy shield.

"Bang" sound.

The demonic energy shield shattered.

The Lone Demon Lord had just raised a demonic shield, but hadn't had a chance to activate it yet.

The demonic body was heavily bombarded by the golden light rod.

With just one blow, the demonic body of the False Core Demon Lord, who was capable of withstanding attacks from top-grade spiritual cultivation magic treasures, was smashed like tofu, his brains splattered and his flesh dented, leaving him unrecognizable.

Shen Xuan swayed, took the storage bag from the waist of the Lone Demon Lord, and casually took the magic shield and a pair of black magic scissors that were radiating demonic energy from his hand.

With another backhand strike, he swept the remaining demonic body of the Lone Demon Lord in two once more.

Then, another high-quality [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman] was issued, blasting the damaged demonic body into fragments.

Then, Shen Xuan used his lightning escape technique repeatedly, flying all the way to the edge of a black river that smelled of blood.

Without thinking, I jumped right in.

Just a dozen breaths later, streaks of light arrived one after another, stopping at the edge of the black river.

The commotion caused by Shen Xuan killing the Lone Demon Lord was truly enormous.

Not only did they use the Divine Thunder Talisman, but they also activated the exquisite [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman].

The demon lords near the Yin Sha Sect were alarmed and rushed over.

At Black Maple Ridge, all that could be seen was a pile of broken debris; not a single survivor was left.

When they used their secret techniques to track the river to the edge of the Black River, they had no choice but to stop.

"Qingye, you're a water mage, go down into the water and take a look."

One of the demon lords said.

"I'm not going! I'm not familiar with Gu Sha!"

The demon lord, named Qingye, refused without hesitation.

What a joke!
This person possessed extraordinary abilities and instantly killed the Lone Demon Lord.

If he rashly goes into the water and is ambushed, who can he complain to?
Without a sure chance of victory, a wise person would not put themselves in danger.

Subsequently, more and more Yin Sha Sect demon lords arrived.

More than ten demon lords stood by the black river, but none of them dared to go into the water to hunt down Shen Xuan.
