Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 525 Xuan Yin Demonic Flood Dragon (Seeking Subscriptions)

"How about we pay in advance?"

Shen Xuan said helplessly, "Take eighteen Moon Spirit Pearls first. Refine the rest as soon as possible and have Fellow Daoist Bai send someone to deliver them to Hanyu Peak of Qingyun Sect."

"it is good!"

Howling Moon Fox readily agreed.

These third-order formation inheritances were exactly what she needed.

In the demon realm, it is an invaluable treasure.

Only someone like Shen Xuan would be so audacious as to resell it to the demon race without authorization.

The Howling Moon Fox wrote down a debt-owing spiritual contract and branded it with demonic power.

"By the way, where is Fellow Daoist Three-Tailed? Could we invite her over for a chat?"

"I sent her a message."

Shen Xuan concealed his aura and descended to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The man and the fox entered the cave.

Before long, the three-tailed tabby cat arrived.

They were greatly disappointed to see that Shen Xuan had only brought out a dozen or so second-tier high-grade fish demons.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, how come there's only so little?"

"Yes, something unexpected happened."

Shen Xuan said apologetically.

Since the Great Tide, the number of high-level water monsters near Flying Dragon Island has decreased significantly.

He was busy with his cultivation and didn't spend much time hunting demons at sea.

He killed a dozen or so of them and then stopped.

During the great tidal wave, he killed the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon and the Mountain-Bearing Dragon Turtle. The flesh of these two demon kings was enough for him to eat for a hundred years.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Three-Tail, don't you have some very valuable spiritual items? Take them out and let me see them."

The three-tailed tabby cat took out a spiritual plant.

Crystal clear, as if sculpted from ice crystals, the petals are layered upon each other, and the veins are as clear as glass, shimmering with blue and purple hues.

The flower's stamen is a pulsating, icy-blue core, resembling a frozen star, exuding a chilling aura, with water vapor condensing into ice crystals.

It turned out to be a rare and precious Core Formation artifact, the Ice Soul Snow Lotus.

It has existed for over a thousand years.

For Shen Xuan in the past, it was indeed extremely precious.

However, he is now a Golden Core cultivator.

Even the best Core Formation artifacts are of little value to him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, what kind of look is that!"

"This is a thousand-year-old Ice Soul Snow Lotus! To steal, no, to pick this snow lotus, I fought several battles with that wolf demon!"

"This amount of seafood isn't enough!"

The three-tailed tabby cat said matter-of-factly.

Beside him, the Howling Moon Fox transmitted its voice through its spirit.

Instantly, the three-tailed tabby cat's face changed several expressions.

"what!"

"how so!"

"No!"

The three-tailed tabby cat exclaimed in a series of exclamations.

A pair of cat-like eyes scrutinized Shen Xuan repeatedly.

In the end, it clenched its paws into a fist and bowed to Shen Xuan.

Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shen, on achieving the Golden Core stage!

"Shall I address you as Master Shen from now on?"

Shen Xuan smiled.

"Let's address each other as fellow Daoists."

"We're good friends, aren't we?"

Upon hearing this, the three-tailed tabby cat immediately burst into laughter.

"Yes, we are good friends."

"The Three-Tailed Fox suffered a slight loss in exchange for these fish demons. Consider it a congratulatory gift for Fellow Daoist Shen!"

Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Three-Tailed."

In fact, if Shen Xuan were to take out the meat of the Overturning Sea Dragon or the meat of the Mountain-Bearing Dragon Turtle...

It would absolutely make the three-tailed tabby cat drool.

But, it's not necessary.

These dragon and turtle meats were Shen Xuan's own food.

In the future, it is unknown how many more years will pass before we can kill such a true spirit descendant.

Those demonic dragons, their demon cores, and their essence blood can be refined.

But the flesh of the demonic dragon is too full of demonic energy, so it definitely won't taste good.

It also takes time and effort to refine it.

It is far inferior to the meat of the Overturning Sea Dragon and the Mountain-Bearing Dragon Turtle.

The two demons, one human and one demon, exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Shen Xuan explained his purpose.

"Go to the Demon Realm to hunt down that Xuan Yin Demon Dragon?"

The three-tailed tabby cat and the howling moon fox exchanged a glance.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, that's the Demon Realm. How confident are you in hunting the Xuan Yin Demon Flood Dragon there?"

Finally, it was Howling Moon Fox who spoke first.

Of the two demon kings, when it comes to important matters, it is still the Howling Moon Fox who makes the decisions.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

The Xuan Yin Demon Flood Dragon possesses a rich bloodline of a true dragon and has cultivated for over five hundred years. Its demonic power is profound, and it is adept at manipulating Xuan Yin cold energy.

According to the three-tailed tabby cat's investigation.

In fact, its strength should be slightly weaker than that of the Crimson Flame Tiger.

In other words, it is slightly lower than that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

After achieving the Golden Core stage, he comprehended three ice-based divine abilities, making his combat power approximately twice that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Hunting down the Xuan Yin Demon Dragon is more than enough.

"Ninety percent!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

Actually, it should be 99%.

Even without special cultivation, Shen Xuan's physical strength increased significantly after condensing his golden core.

However, it's not as terrifying as spiritual cultivation, which is dozens of times more intense.

However, it can still be seven or eight times.

It is very close to the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

What's lacking is the essence and blood of various true spirit descendants to comprehend the true spirit's supernatural powers.

"Ninety percent?"

Howling Moon Fox stared at Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan smiled and nodded.

"Then let's go to the Demon Realm together to hunt down demons. And let's make it clear beforehand, the demon dragon's flesh is mine!"

The three-tailed tabby cat quickly made a statement.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"No! You're asking for too much!"

Strength is the sole criterion for distributing the spoils.

At this moment, Shen Xuan's strength far surpassed that of the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat.

How could they let those two demons take such a large share of the spoils?

"Woo..."

The three-tailed tabby cat looked pleadingly at the Howling Moon Fox.

“Fellow Daoist Shen, Three-Tail and I are still somewhat useful in the Demon Realm.”

“I am proficient in all kinds of formations. My three tails can detect scents by the sound of the wind.” “There are probably many illusionary and demonic formations in the Demon Realm. You will need us to guide you.”

The three-tailed tabby cat nodded emphatically: "Xiaoyue is right! I am very powerful! Very useful!"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"The Xuan Yin Demon Dragon won't work. I have a use for this one."

"The rest of the spoils may be distributed among you."

"If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll go alone."

Shen Xuan learned the location of the Demon Realm from the Bai family patriarch.

Even without the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat leading the way, it wasn't a big problem.

The Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat discussed it.

In the end, she decided to go to the Demon Realm with Shen Xuan.

It's rare to find such a powerful ally.

Following behind always yields some benefits.

……

Three days later.

Deep in the wilderness, there is a valley shrouded in poisonous miasma year-round.

Shen Xuan, Xiaoyue Fox, and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat—one human and two demons—hovered above the valley.

The pale purple miasma parted automatically, making way for a passage.

"We've arrived, Fellow Daoist Shen."

In the moonlight, the Howling Moon Fox raised its front paws, outlining intricate and mysterious silver-white demonic runes in the air.

The demonic script was imprinted on the stone walls of the valley.

Soon, the surface of the stone wall became transparent and vanished into nothingness.

Soon, the faint outline of the demonic realm gradually emerged.

Under the pull of the demonic runes of the Howling Moon Fox's array, a spatial rift radiating pure demonic energy appeared.

Shen Xuan said, "Let's go in!"

"Alright! I'll lead the way!"

The three-tailed tabby cat transformed into a streak of purple light and was the first to disappear into the spatial rift.

Shen Xuan followed.

The Howling Moon Fox followed closely behind.

Once inside, the scene changed.

One person and two demons find themselves in a bizarre and fantastical demon realm.

Pure demonic energy was everywhere.

Various demonic veins rise and fall, winding and stretching out.

The sky was as gray as iron, the earth was scorched and cracked, and a faint fishy smell permeated the air.

In the distance, distorted demonic shadows loomed, and strange roars echoed intermittently.

"Roar!"

The three-tailed tabby cat had only gone a few miles when it encountered a pack of demonic hounds with three blood-red eyes and their bodies covered in sharp demonic thorns.

Upon smelling the scent of a stranger, it barked wildly and pounced.

The three-tailed tabby cat's fur stood on end, its pupils dilated, its claws flashed, and it let out a threatening growl.

However, before she could even make a move...

Shen Xuan summoned the Ice Soul Divine Sword and casually pointed it.

A beam of icy divine light shot out from the Ice Soul Divine Sword.

This pack of second-tier demonic hounds numbered over thirty.

The two leading dog kings are second-tier high-grade dogs.

However, as the Ice Soul Divine Light spun...

More than thirty demonic hounds, including the two hound kings, were instantly turned into ice sculptures, their life cut off.

The barking suddenly stopped.

"They're all mine!"

The three-tailed tabby cat glanced at Shen Xuan.

Seeing that he had no intention of taking the demon hound.

He quickly took out his beast pouch and put all the ice-sculpted demonic hounds inside.

……

The annihilation of the demon hound pack made the other demonic beasts inside more cautious.

Even if he has a violent temper.

But when faced with a powerful opponent whom they are clearly outmatched.

Some magical beasts of the same level will still instinctively avoid it.

Keep going.

"Whoosh!"

The three-tailed tabby cat flashed by, as fast as a ghost, and appeared beside a bush.

A spiritual plant bearing a purple, exotic fruit grows here.

The three-tailed tabby cat's sharp claws flashed, leaving a blur, and killed a two-headed demonic snake guarding the side.

Then, she skillfully picked the few purple exotic fruits and put them into a jade box at her waist.

"Three miles to the west, there is a patch of Demon Blood Vine, whose sap is a good thing for body tempering."

The three-tailed tabby cat twitched its nose and its eyes sparkled as it accurately reported the location.

"Ah."

Shen Xuan remained noncommittal.

These spiritual objects held no appeal for him anymore.

But it still has some value to the three-tailed tabby cat and the howling moon fox.

Previously, these two demon kings had entered the Demon Realm several times, but they hadn't dared to go too deep.

With Shen Xuan, a Golden Core cultivator specializing in ice magic, present this time, we are naturally fearless.

Encountering a social monster.

Shen Xuan unleashed his divine power, the Ice Soul Divine Light swirling and flying, and wherever it passed, gregarious magical beasts were turned into ice sculptures and died.

They encountered some reckless second-tier high-grade magical beasts.

Howling Moon Fox used its Illusionary Moon Demonic Arts to create an illusion that trapped the target, then used the power of moonlight to condense a blade of light to kill them.

The three-tailed tabby cat was agile and focused on collecting corpses and gathering rare herbs and fruits.

Occasionally, it will also make a move, its cat claws moving with lightning speed, tearing through the monster's defenses.

Along the way, Shen Xuan, along with the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat, killed many second-tier magical beasts and harvested a large number of spiritual herbs and exotic fruits.

Ten days later.

They ventured deep into the core of the Demon Realm and found the lair of the Xuan Yin Demon Dragon.

This is a huge cave entrance, with some broken black scales scattered around the cave.

The cave entrance exuded a dense, dark, demonic aura, carrying a chilling, pungent smell of blood that was nauseating.

In addition, several enormous, long-decayed skeletons can be seen.

It was at least a third-tier magical beast in its previous life, and it is very likely that it failed in its challenge against the Xuan Yin Demon Dragon.

"This is it. The Xuan Yin Demon Dragon is inside."

The three-tailed tabby cat sniffed and said definitively.

Howling Moon Fox looked toward a stone wall at the cave entrance.

There are some strange patterns on it.

Her expression turned serious.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, there is a passage to the Demon Realm here."

Shen Xuan was startled.

"Fellow Daoist Xiaoyue, what do you mean?"

"That Xuan Yin Demon Dragon has an extraordinary background and is very likely related to the Demon Realm."

"What should I do?"

The three-tailed tabby cat unusually arched its body, its three tails drooping to the ground, revealing a wary expression.

"not good!"

The Howling Moon Fox suddenly cried out in surprise.

Suddenly, the strange patterns on the stone wall lit up, shimmering with a faint black light.
