Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 577 The Divine Tree of Spirit Island (Please Subscribe)

A month later.

A third-order transport ship landed on Yingxia Island.

Shen Xuan, along with Xuan Yuan Zhenren, Zhuang Xueqin, Zhuo Jincheng, and Zhuo Qingning, calmly stepped out of the transport spaceship.

On Yingxia Island, six demon kings—Crimson Flame Tiger, Earth Bear, Howling Moon Fox, Flying Cloud Leopard, Flowing Frost Snow Wolf, and Three-Tailed Tabby Cat—had been waiting for a long time.

Just as Shen Xuan said.

These six demon kings showed great interest in engaging in large-scale trade with the human race.

The Purple Tree King revealed itself and met with Shen Xuan and the others.

After introducing themselves and exchanging greetings...

Shen Xuan and the Purple Tree King left together.

Xuan Yuan Zhenren represented the Qingyun Sect, Xiao Yuehu represented the Demon Clan, and Zhuo Jincheng represented the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce. The three parties formally negotiated trade matters.

Humans and demons engaged in large-scale trade, willing to exchange Beast Essence Pills, Spirit Opening Pills, and Spirit Transformation Pills, Blood Tempering Pills, and Barrier Breaking Pills used by third-tier demon beasts.

This news caused a sensation among the demon race of the desolate wilderness.

This time, Shen Xuan brought a small number of demon beast elixirs for the demon kings to try out.

This is something I've never heard of before.

Previously, human merchants traded with demons secretly.

This is the first time that such blatant and large-scale trading of demon beast elixirs has taken place.

Moreover, the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce is willing to advance spirit stones to build a new immortal city for the demon race beside Yingxia Lake.

As for the medicinal herbs, monster materials, primary ores, and spiritual plants provided by the demon race, they will all be priced in reasonable spirit stones.

Besides elixirs for demonic beasts, they can be used to trade magical artifacts, talismans, and other items.

Neither Shen Xuan nor the Purple Cloud Tree King inquired about the specific transaction rules and procedures, leaving them to be discussed and decided by True Person Xuan Yuan and Howling Moon Fox.

The demon kings are powerful and physically strong.

Among them, only Xiaoyuehu truly possesses intelligence and shrewdness.

The other five were just there to make up the numbers.

The Earth Bear would occasionally roar, revealing its gleaming white fangs, to cheer on the Howling Moon Fox.

Master Xuanyuan was naturally unafraid and argued his case based on reason.

The man and the fox argued back and forth, creating a lively scene.

Zhuo Jincheng of the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce, like a good-natured person, skillfully mediated between the two sides.

The trilateral talks thus began amidst a great commotion.

……

On the island's edge, the Purple Cloud Tree King and Shen Xuan stood side by side.

He glanced at the scene of the trilateral talks.

"Senior Tree King, there's no need to worry about it. The main framework has been designed. The rest are just minor details."

A few days ago, Shen Xuan secretly met with the Purple Cloud Tree King and invited the Howling Moon Fox to finalize the trade framework.

What remains are the details of implementation.

It's nothing, not worth the attention of important figures like them.

According to Shen Xuan's idea.

When starting a cooperative trade, select the spiritual items that both parties need most.

The demon race is the elixir of demon beasts, while the human race is various spiritual herbs and primary minerals.

The two sides appeared to be arguing fiercely.

In reality, it's simply a matter of pricing.

Regardless of the pricing, all three parties can profit.

"By the way, has Senior Tree Emperor ever heard of the Demon Wood Sect?"

"I've heard of it. It's a mid-level demonic sect in Liang Kingdom that specializes in the art of cultivating demonic trees."

"The Demon Wood Sect possesses a secret technique that can refine demon wood spirit plants into puppet avatars. Is this feasible?"

"Let me see you."

"it is good."

After taking the jade slip containing the Demon Wood Sect's cultivation techniques from Shen Xuan, the Purple Essence Tree Emperor scanned it with his divine sense and fell into deep thought.

Shen Xuan did not disturb them, but quietly stood by.

a long time.

The Purple Tree Emperor returned the jade slip containing the Demon Wood Sect's cultivation techniques to Shen Xuan.

"This is evil magic."

"let it go."

Shen Xuan originally planned to use the remnant of the Purple Essence Tree King's origin to refine a puppet avatar to protect himself from calamities and disasters.

Since the Purple Tree King has been classified as an evil art.

Considering that he will also have to undergo tribulation in the future, it's best to use less evil magic.

“Actually, young friend Shen, you can consider using spiritual veins and rare treasures of heaven and earth to re-nourish that remnant of my original body.”

Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

"Senior Tree King, do you mean that the remnant of the primordial branch can continue to survive?"

The Purple Tree King glanced at Shen Xuan sideways.

"That is the remnant of my original body!"

Shen Xuan then realized what was happening.

"Why didn't you say so sooner, Senior Tree King!"

"You didn't ask! I assumed you already knew."

"Hey!"

Shen Xuan exclaimed in regret.

A year was wasted.

Fortunately, the remaining branches of the purple hibiscus are resilient.

He has been nourishing it with wood spirit stones.

Go back and hurry, there's still time.

"If there is one more top-grade third-tier spirit tree on Starshine Island, it will be a good thing for the entire island."

After the Purple Cloud Tree King successfully transcended its tribulation, Yingxia Island became a forbidden area.

The wood-based cultivators from nearby countries are no longer able to solidify their spiritual bodies here.

If Shen Xuan succeeds in cultivating the Purple Essence Divine Tree, he can transplant it to Starshine Island.

This alone can earn countless spirit stones and build a wide network of connections.

Shen Xuan was not as easy to talk to as the Purple Essence Tree King.

All cultivators who come to Starshine Island and gather their spiritual bodies under the Purple Essence Divine Tree will be charged according to the time limit.

Not a single spirit stone can be missing!

It's predictable.

The number of wood-based cultivators heading to Starshine Island was endless.

This will also boost consumption on Star Island and stimulate economic development.

Two hours later.

Xuan Yuan Zhenren, Xiao Yue Hu, and Zhuo Jincheng finalized the trade details.

Crimson Flame Tiger hosted a banquet to entertain the human cultivators.

Of the six demon kings, he was implicitly considered the leader.

Shen Xuan was preoccupied with the transplantation of the Purple Essence Divine Tree. After giving a few instructions, he left first.

……

Qingyun Sect, Changchun Peak.

In this blessed land, lies the Spirit Plant Garden.

The air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the spiritual energy floats like clouds and mist.

Master Changchun bent down before a thousand-year-old ginseng and carefully pruned its branches and leaves.

This is a third-tier spiritual creature that he carefully cultivated.

It has been rooted in the plant garden for more than two hundred years.

At that moment, he felt something.

A streak of azure light descended outside the blessed land.

A loud voice rang out. "Senior Brother Changchun, Xuanbing has an urgent matter to ask for your help!"

"Why is he here?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Changchun Zhenren's eyes as he went out to greet him.

Shen Xuan looked at the smiling Changchun Zhenren and bowed in homage.

Previously, among the eighteen true masters of the Qingyun Sect, Changchun True Master ranked last.

Shen Xuan had dealt with him several times.

I have great respect for Changchun Zhenren, a craftsman who specializes in spiritual implantation.

Currently, there are twenty-one True Persons in the Qingyun Sect.

Shen Xuan was detached from worldly affairs.

It is the last of the Five Great Golden Elixir Masters and the first among the remaining outer peaks.

The ranking of Master Changchun is only ahead of the two newly promoted masters, at number eighteen.

Despite this, Changchun Zhenren remained content and at ease.

"Junior Brother Xuanbing, you are a rare guest. What brings you here today?"

"I have something important to discuss with Senior Brother Changchun. Let's go inside and talk."

The two entered the blessed land.

Master Changchun dismissed all his disciples.

Shen Xuan arrived at the Spirit Plant Garden, made a hand seal, and took out a jade box.

Open the top of the box.

An ancient and weathered purple spiritual energy instantly filled the entire blessed land.

All the spiritual plants, regardless of their grade, including the thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng, trembled slightly at this moment, their branches and leaves drooping as if they were paying homage to an emperor.

Master Changchun's smile froze, his eyes filled with shock.

Inside the jade box, the Purple Divine Wood was over four feet long, with several inches of deep blue scorch marks on its top, and faint thunder patterns emerging from it.

This is the result after Shen Xuan cast the spell.

The actual length of the Purple Essence Divine Tree is approximately forty zhang (about 33 meters).

Master Changchun opened his eyes wide and examined the Purple Essence Divine Wood in the jade box repeatedly.

His voice trembled slightly.

"A spirit tree about to reach the fourth tier? A crack formed by heavenly tribulation lightning! This is the true form of the Purple Essence Divine Tree!"

As a third-tier superior spiritual plant master, Master Changchun had keen eyesight and immediately recognized the origin of the Purple Essence Divine Wood in the jade box.

Shen Xuan nodded slightly and said calmly, "Senior Brother Changchun has a good eye. This is the upper part of the Purple Essence Tree King's body that was struck by heavenly lightning during its tribulation."

Master Changchun stared at the Purple Essence Divine Wood in the jade box, his face filled with disbelief.

"Incredible!"

"Under the divine lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation, even the most mortal plant demons have a slim chance of survival. It is said that the Purple Essence Divine Tree successfully transcended the tribulation, transformed into human form, and became a fourth-tier demon emperor."

"That's fine then."

"But this remnant of the original body has actually retained its life force and is still alive. Junior Brother Xuanbing, how did you do that?"

Shen Xuan smiled but remained silent.

In fact, he was just subconsciously adding high-grade wood spirit stones into the jade box to nourish the remnant body of the Purple Essence Divine Wood.

Unexpectedly, a year later, the Purple Essence Divine Tree, though in ruins, still possessed vitality and retained its spiritual essence.

Far from being cut off, it has instead shown signs of rebirth, like an old tree sprouting new buds.

After being reminded by the Purple Tree King.

Shen Xuan then realized that the remnants of the Purple Essence Divine Wood could be transplanted and survive.

"Senior Brother Changchun, if I were to remove the part of the body struck by lightning, could you transplant it?"

Master Changchun asked, "Where do you wish to transplant it?"

"Nature is my Star Island."

Shen Xuan got to the point: "This is a top-grade third-tier spirit tree, which is difficult to nurture in ordinary places. I would like to ask Senior Brother Changchun to help transplant it to the core of the Starshine Island spiritual vein. At the same time, we should set up a super-large spirit-locking array to gather most of the water spiritual power of the Starshine Island spiritual vein to nourish this tree."

"Senior Brother Changchun, in that case, this Purple Essence Divine Tree should be able to continue to survive, right?"

Changchun Zhenren gasped.

This junior brother Xuanbing is quite generous with his actions.

Using the entire spiritual veins of Starshine Island as a stake, they transplanted the remnants of the Purple Essence Divine Tree.

If successful, the rewards will be substantial.

A top-grade divine tree of the third rank.

Even without developing sentience, it is still a tremendous asset.

Moreover, given Junior Brother Xuanbing's charisma...

They will probably try every means to enlighten and awaken the spirit of this sacred tree.

"Junior Brother Xuanbing, you should think this through."

"If we fail, we will suffer significant losses due to the depletion of the spiritual energy of Starshine Island's spiritual veins."

"The grade of the Starshine Island spiritual vein may drop."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan pondered for a moment.

"It's alright. I was just about to ask Senior Brother Chongxu for help."

With the assistance of a third-tier high-grade array master, the chances of the Purple Essence Divine Wood remnant surviving after transplantation increase considerably.

"If Senior Brother Chongxu can spare some time to come along, that would be best."

"Alright. I'll go to Senior Brother Chongxu's place now. Senior Brother Changchun, please be prepared."

After Shen Xuan left.

Changchun Zhenren paced back and forth repeatedly.

An old face radiated a hint of fanaticism.

Such divine objects, if they were to pass through his hands, could be transplanted and survive.

The name of the Immortal Changchun will be passed down for thousands of years along with the Purple Divine Tree.

He sent out a message.

Soon after, his personal disciple Xu Gaonong hurriedly entered the blessed land.

Master Changchun said in a deep voice, "Pass on my decree!"

"All Foundation Establishment disciples of the Spirit Plant Hall, immediately put aside all your affairs, bring your respective magical treasures and divine soil, and gather at the mountain gate square at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow."

"Xu Gaonong, you stay at Changchun Peak and handle the sect's spiritual plant affairs for me."

Xu Gaonong quickly replied, "I will obey the decree."

He quickly sent several message talismans to his fellow disciples.

After confirming that all his fellow disciples had received the communication talisman, Xu Gaonong asked, "Master, what happened?"

"Hehe. I want to go to Starshine Island with your Uncle-Master Chongxu and do the thing of plucking stars and grasping the moon."

The next day.

Qingyun Sect, Mountain Gate Square.

The two groups of cultivators were clearly separated.

Master Changchun led seven Foundation Establishment disciples, each carrying a medicine basket and a jade hoe, with peculiar planting tools placed beside them.

A wooden barrel inscribed with a spirit-gathering array, a jade pot filled with water-elemental energy, and an earth-based spirit-nurturing array plate to stabilize the earth's veins, etc.

Master Chongxu led four Foundation Establishment disciples, carrying array flags, compasses, measuring rulers, and other array-related items.

Shen Xuan had been waiting there for a long time.

"Senior Brother Chongxu, Senior Brother Changchun, thank you for making this trip."

Master Chongxu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xuanbing, you are too kind. How could I not attend such a grand event?"

Master Changchun nodded and said, "With Senior Brother Chongxu taking the lead, this time seizing the power of creation will surely be a resounding success!"

"Thank you for your hard work, senior brothers."

Shen Xuan said no more and waved his hand.

A third-tier sect spaceship sped over, landed, and opened its doors.

"Please, senior brothers!"

"Come aboard!"

The two masters led their disciples, transforming into streaks of light, and flew into the spaceship in an orderly fashion.

Shen Xuan was the last to board the ship.

Soon, the Tier 3 spaceship roared and tore through the clouds, speeding towards Starshine Island.
