Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 476 Real Person Information (Please Subscribe)

About a hundred miles outside Baiyun Immortal City.

Shen Xuan stopped by a lake.

"The scenery here is beautiful. I'll wait for Demon Lord Xuan Ye here."

"Fellow Daoist, go and report this immediately."

Beside him, the lean demonic cultivator bowed in respect.

"Yes, I will go and report to my master immediately."

After saying that, he turned around and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards White Cloud Immortal City.

Shen Xuan leaned against the lake, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

An hour later.

The sound of wind cutting through the air rang out.

Shen Xuan stood up.

Opposite them, a cloud-like magical treasure, carrying two cultivators, flew to Shen Xuan's side.

Walking in front was Zhu Yingying.

"Brother-in-law..."

Shen Xuan waved his hand, telling her to shut up.

He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting to the Demon Lord Xuan Ye behind her, and said, "Shen Fei, a rogue cultivator, greets Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye."

Xuan Ye Demon Lord stood still, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "You are the cheap brother-in-law Shen Fei that Zhu girl mentioned?"

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, please let me explain."

Shen Xuan glared at Zhu Yingying: "My wife is just an ordinary person. Many years ago, I met Fellow Daoist Zhu, but we have no blood ties whatsoever. I dare not accept the title of brother-in-law; it was just a joke."

"No!"

Xuan Ye Demon Lord glanced sideways at Shen Xuan.

"Zhu said that you and her are very close, like sisters."

"When she came, she praised you to the skies, saying that you had extraordinary abilities and were invincible among those in the Foundation Establishment realm."

“My apprentice was unaware of the danger and offended Master Shen. I am very grateful to Master Shen for not holding it against him.”

Shen Xuan looked at Zhu Yingying again.

His eyes revealed his anger.

If it weren't for our past relationship...

Why would he come here to see the Demon Lord Xuan Ye?

The two were indeed very close at one time.

Shen Xuan also paid a price for this.

There was never any deep affection between the two of them.

It was just a moment of loneliness from many years ago.

At this moment, a hint of shame flashed across Zhu Yingying's face.

They put on a pitiful look.

His eyes were full of pleading as he looked at Shen Xuan.

She was afraid that Shen Xuan would blame her.

Now, only Shen Xuan can get her out of this predicament.

"I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of your Hehuan Sect."

Shen Xuan said tentatively.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, could you please stop here and pretend I was never here?"

Xuan Ye Demon Lord sneered.

"Shen Fei, how dare you!"

"You mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to spout such nonsense before me!"

"If I let you leave, what face will I have left!"

Shen Xuan sighed.

This is the result of unequal social status.

Among cultivators, there has never been a distinction between right and wrong.

They only respect strength.

Might makes right.

Whether one is right or wrong, their actions will prove their worth.

Shen Xuan waved his hand.

"Wait! Demon Lord Xuan Ye, please look at this!"

Shen Xuan unleashed a burst of magical power, sending the Dragon King Token flying to Xuan Ye Demon Lord.

"The Dragon King's token?"

Xuan Ye Demon Lord scanned the Dragon King Token with his divine sense and gently waved his sleeve.

The Dragon King's Token fell to the ground.

"So what!"

"He's just a nobody, what can he do if I don't give him face!"

This was their determination to take action and teach Shen Xuan a lesson.

Ultimately, Xuan Ye Demon Lord, confident in his pseudo-core cultivation level, felt certain of victory and wanted to take down Shen Xuan first.

Feeling the intense pressure emanating from the Demon Lord Xuanye, Shen Xuan sighed.

Point your finger.

A spark of light flew from her fingertip, swift as lightning, striking Zhu Yingying between the eyebrows.

Caught off guard, Zhu Yingying's cherry lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief, and her delicate body went limp as she fainted.

Shen Xuan's actions even surprised the Demon Lord Xuan Ye.

It happened suddenly.

Shen Xuan was only three zhang away from Zhu Yingying, and his attack was swift.

By the time she realized it, it was too late to stop it.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, please calm down."

After seeing Zhu Yingying faint.

Shen Xuan picked up the Dragon King Token.

Facing the Demon Lord Xuan Ye, he let out a beast-like roar and transformed.

The next moment.

Before the Demon Lord Xuanye, Shen Xuan had transformed into a sixteen-foot-tall golden body, a blue-faced, fanged body refiner in the Dharma Aspect Realm, clad in immortal armor, wielding a golden light staff, with a dragon Dharma Aspect appearing behind him.

Xuan Ye Demon Lord was startled and retreated quickly, his eyes filled with fear.

If a body refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm gets close to him, his life is in danger.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye."

Shen Xuan's voice rang out again.

Then, the sixteen-foot-tall golden body swayed, and the golden light receded.

A few breaths later, Shen Xuan returned to human form and stood still in the same spot.

It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Xuan Ye Demon Lord exclaimed in surprise, "Shen Fei, you are a Body Refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, there must be a misunderstanding between us."

He then relayed Zhu Yingying's explanation to Demon Lord Xuanye.

"Did she really say that about me?"

"It's true."

Xuan Ye Demon Lord sighed deeply.

“Her mother, Huang Huanchu, and I have known each other for two hundred years. We are like sisters and support each other.”

"Before Senior Sister Huang attempted to break through to the Demon Core stage, she entrusted her to me. She asked me to find a way to marry her into a prestigious sect family so she could live a peaceful life. She was told not to compete for the position of Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect anymore."

"I never expected that she would not only be ungrateful, but would also slander me like this!"

Xuan Ye Demon Lord unleashed a beam of demonic light, awakening Zhu Yingying.

Then, he swiftly tapped her sea of ​​consciousness with his finger, releasing the restriction on her soul.

He took out a storage bag and threw it next to her.

“Zhu girl, this is your dowry left to you by your mother. I have never broken my promise in my life.”

"Since you are unwilling, follow your mother's arrangements. I will not interfere."

Zhu Yingying was startled.

His face was pale, and he dared not speak.

He opened the storage bag, took a look, and then a look of delight appeared on his face.

Zhu Yingying got up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Zhu Yingying thanks Senior Uncle Xuan Ye!" Xuan Ye, the Demon Lord, retorted, "I am unworthy of being called your Senior Uncle! Zhu Yingying, listen carefully. From this day forward, we are strangers, each going our own way, with no further contact!"

Zhu Yingying was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head.

Xuan Ye Demon Lord turned to Shen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you satisfied with this?"

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "So it was a misunderstanding! This Zhu girl is indeed willful. But she's an adult now, let her be!"

Demon Lord Xuanye nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen is right. I was being too attached to appearances."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"The matter concerning Zhu Yingying is now concluded. I thank Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye for his kindness. I will not interfere in any further matters."

"Brother-in-law!"

Zhu Yingying's cherry lips were agape, and the expression on her face looked as if she was about to cry.

"Shut up!"

Shen Xuan said sternly, "Between us, there is no longer any debt between us! You'd better take care of yourself!"

"I have something to discuss with Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye. You should go back first!"

Zhu Yingying had no idea what had just happened.

He glanced at Demon Lord Xuan Ye.

Seeing that she did not object, he slowly summoned the demon boat and sped away.

After Zhu Yingying left.

Shen Xuan cast a spell, and a dozen layers of azure spiritual walls rose up in the surrounding area.

Demon Lord Xuanye asked, "Is there anything else, Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Shen Xuan said with a smile, "I would like to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye."

"What deal?"

“If I remember correctly, the Hehuan Sect has always been involved in the intelligence business. I'd like to buy some intelligence from you.”

"Oh. Tell me about it."

Shen Xuan stared at Xuan Ye Demon Lord and said solemnly, "I want to buy information about True Person Lu. Among them, it must be information about True Person Lu's magic weapons and supernatural powers."

Xuan Ye Demon Lord suddenly realized: "You came to see me because of True Person Lu!"

"Otherwise what? I've already said it before, your Hehuan Sect's affairs have nothing to do with me. I have no intention of interfering."

Helping Zhu Yingying out of her predicament was just a convenient thing to do.

This is because Shen Xuan is a sentimental person.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, would they have schemed against him in this way?

He had already turned and left.

Shen Xuan's visit to Demon Lord Xuan Ye to obtain information about True Person Lu is of paramount importance.

Master Lu is the only cultivator in the surrounding area who can threaten him.

To be on the safe side, he needed to gather intelligence on Master Lu in advance.

"Master Lu and I are close friends..."

Shen Xuan interrupted Xuan Ye Demon Lord's words.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, name your price! There’s no need for further words.”

Xuan Ye Demon Lord stamped his foot and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, Master Lu and I have been friends for many years."

"A magical weapon!"

Shen Xuan said in a deep voice.

"It's just information about a real person, yet I'm offering a demonic weapon as payment—that's an astronomical price!"

Demon Soldiers are upgraded versions of Demon Treasures.

It is equivalent to a magical artifact used by a real person.

Shen Xuan possessed two demonic weapons, spoils of war obtained from killing the Lone Demon Lord.

In exchange for information about a real person, one can trade a magical weapon for it.

Shen Xuan believed that no one could refuse such a highly profitable deal.

Xuan Ye Demon Lord was no exception.

Even the best of personal relationships are not worth a single demonic weapon.

She stared at Shen Xuan, remaining silent for a long while.

Finally, she said softly, "I must see the demon soldiers first."

……

To Shen Xuan's surprise...

When he took out the Demon Shield of the Lone Demon Lord.

Xuan Ye Demon Lord immediately took out this intelligence jade slip.

Clearly, she had prepared Lu Zhenren's intelligence jade slip long ago.

It can be sold at any time.

Shen Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense.

Detailed information confirms it is indeed Master Lu.

He handed the magic shield to her on the spot.

After the transaction was completed, the atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed.

Both of them had their own reservations, making it difficult for them to fall out.

Demon Lord Xuanye asked Shen Xuan if he needed any more information.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"Do you have any information about a True Immortal of the True Meaning Sect who is nearing the end of his lifespan?"

"Is it the True Man Zong Zhixi of the Zhenyi Sect?"

"good."

"Fellow Daoist Shen wants information about this person? No problem! However, it will take some time for me to go back and organize it."

"it is good."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

Information trading is a pillar industry of the Hehuan Sect.

Xuan Ye Demon Lord clearly treated this as a private transaction, intending to keep all the profits for himself.

This has nothing to do with Shen Xuan.

He certainly wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

"So, Fellow Daoist Shen, you also have demonic weapons?"

"No! I'm willing to give up two Core Formation demonic artifacts: the Crimson Flame Netherworld Flower and the Nine Revolutions Yin Marrow Pearl."

"This……"

After pondering for a few moments, the Demon Lord Xuanye said, "That works too."

"If Fellow Daoist Shen still has any demonic weapons, you may trade with me; the price is negotiable."

Shen Xuan's heart stirred.

"Can I exchange it for a Golden Core Pill?"

"Dream on! I didn't!"

The Demon Lord Xuan Ye's eyes flickered, and he covered his mouth with a smile, saying, "If it's the Demon Transformation Pill, I can still think of a way. How about Fellow Daoist Shen joins my Joyful Union Sect?"

"With the protection of the Flood Dragon Dharma Form, Fellow Daoist Shen, and by switching to the Holy Sect's secret techniques, you will surely be able to condense the Demon Core! At that time, I will need Fellow Daoist Shen's guidance!"

Shen Xuan shook his head, his tone tinged with regret: "Unfortunately, I have already become a disciple of a prestigious sect, the Dao Sect, which is an enemy of the Demonic Sect, and we are irreconcilable enemies."

"Bah! You're all hypocrites! So what if you're from a prestigious Daoist sect! Your Nascent Soul True Monarchs and our Demonic Infant Saint Ancestor, when they meet, don't they still call each other brothers, drink wine, discuss Zen, and contemplate the Dao together!"

"Many of the Demon Lords of the Holy Sect were originally disciples of your Dao Sect."

"Many of your Daoist True Persons are former disciples of the Holy Sect who have converted to cultivation!"

"The path to enlightenment is one foot high, but the path to evil is ten feet high! Fellow Daoist Shen, didn't your master tell you that one cannot attain enlightenment without demonic influence?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan felt as if he had been enlightened.

Many things that were previously difficult to understand suddenly became clear.

The Taoist and Demonic sects have always been intertwined.

You have me I have you.

Many things are known to the sect's higher-ups, but they see through them without saying a word.

Those who make the rules are the ones who least follow them.

Rules are nothing but shackles for the weak and tools for the strong.

The sect's precepts are those rules.

"Therefore, as long as I am strong enough, I can do whatever I want!"
