Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 587 The Demon King's Supreme Treasure (Seeking Subscriptions)

The Demon Eye accepted the Blood Demon Pill, his smile becoming even more obsequious.

"Please speak, Master Shen."

"Did someone pay a large sum of money to hire assassins from the Shadow Assassins Sect to assassinate me? Is that true?"

The Demon Eye paused, momentarily stunned.

"Master Shen, you've received the news too?"

"Tell me what you know."

After an incense stick had burned, Shen Xuan, with a gloomy face, put the Demon Eye into the restricted jade box.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord told him that the Shadow Assassin Sect wanted to assassinate him, which was indeed true.

This matter was not a secret within Liang's intelligence circles.

Even the client could guess it.

That is Danxia Sect.

Many of the high-ranking assassins who carry out missions for the Shadow Assassins are temporary hires.

The True Elixir Demon Lord of Liang Kingdom is one of its biggest sources.

This kind of thing is normal.

Most of the True Core Demon Lords of the Liang Kingdom's Demon Sect are treacherous, cunning, and only interested in profit.

However, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord said that upon hearing that it was to deal with True Immortal Xuanbing, most of the True Core Demon Lords of Liang Kingdom declined.

"Shadow Assassins? An assassin organization? How interesting!"

Shen Xuan sneered.

He didn't think that the Shadow Killing Sect could mobilize a Nascent Soul True Monarch or a Demon Infant Ancestor.

Besides these, what else does he have to fear, whether it be other real people or demon lords?

Even if he couldn't win, he was still confident he could escape safely.

"Next, I will return to Starshine Island to devote myself to cultivation."

Only when you are strong enough can you avoid being bullied by others!

"No one will shelter me from the wind and rain; I can only forge ahead through thorns and brambles, walking alone through the storm!"

……

A month later.

Shen Xuan received a message from the Purple Essence Tree King.

He sped to Yingxia Island and picked up Yun Chixin.

"Thank you very much, Senior Tree King!"

Yun Chixin was filled with gratitude, and he prostrated himself in deep worship to the Purple Cloud Tree King.

At this time, she was still at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, all the hidden injuries on his body have healed completely.

His Dao foundation, spiritual sea, meridians, internal organs, bones, and muscles are even stronger than when he was at his peak.

After scanning the area with his divine sense, Shen Xuan nodded secretly.

After becoming a Demon Queen, the infusion of the Purple Tree King's spiritual energy into her body has an even more significant effect.

In this way, Yun Chixin has a high chance of successfully condensing a fake pill again.

It's about 70%.

After expressing his gratitude, Shen Xuan returned to Ziyun Immortal City with Yun Chixin.

"Junior Sister Yun, I have other important matters to attend to. You shall return to the sect with the sect's spaceship."

Shen Xuan gave her a few instructions and then handed her over to Zhuang Xueqin.

No matter how arrogant the Shadow Killing Sect is, they wouldn't dare to openly attack the Qingyun Sect's third-tier spaceship.

……

a few days later.

The city lord's mansion.

The Crimson Tiger hosted a banquet.

The five great demon kings—Earth Bear, Howling Moon Fox, Flying Cloud Leopard, Flowing Frost Snow Wolf, and Three-Tailed Tabby Cat—were all present.

On the human cultivators' side, four True Persons—Shen Xuan, Xuan Yuan Zhenren, Zhuo Qingning, and Zhuang Xueqin—arrived together.

After having enough wine and food.

The six demons and four others came to the secret chamber to hold a small trade fair.

Among human cultivators, Shen Xuan is the most respected.

Among the six demon kings, the Crimson Flame Tiger and the Earth Bear are both at the Golden Core level.

But in the center is the Howling Moon Fox.

Clearly, when the demon race conducts transactions, the Howling Moon Fox still dominates the negotiation and pricing.

The three-tailed tabby cat took out a divine feather from the Bird King: "This divine feather of mine has an extraordinary origin. It is very likely from a three-winged thunderbird and is comparable to a real person's spiritual artifact..."

This feather was two zhang long and emitted a faint, azure-blue arc of lightning.

"I'll use it to exchange for just one dragon-binding rope like the Howling Moon Fox's..."

The demon king and the real person present all looked at the three-tailed tabby cat as if it were a joke.

Only a three-tailed tabby cat with the audacity to say something like exchanging an unknown bird king's divine feather for a magical artifact like the Immortal Binding Rope would dare to do such a thing.

“Fellow Daoist Three-Tail, your Beast King Divine Feather is indeed excellent, but the Immortal Binding Rope is a spiritual artifact made primarily of third-tier dragon tendons. We True Immortals do not have the financial resources to acquire such a weapon.”

"How about we exchange them for spirit stones?"

Zhuo Qingning said with a smile.

The only thing missing is that your thing isn't worth a magical artifact; it's written all over your face.

"No, I'll only exchange it for the Immortal Binding Rope!"

The three-tailed tabby cat didn't even look at Zhuo Qingning; its gaze was fixed on Shen Xuan, looking pitiful.

Shen Xuan accepted the Beast King's Divine Feather with a blank expression, took out a Binding Immortal Rope made from a Demon Dragon Tendon, and threw it in front of the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat.

The other demon kings and immortals were all taken aback.

“Fellow Daoist Three-Tailed was not lying. This divine feather of the Beast King must have been left behind by a certain Thunder-attribute Beast King.”

Shen Xuan realized that the primordial lightning spiritual power contained within the Beast King's divine feathers was extraordinary.

The Three-Winged Thunderbird is a descendant of the divine phoenix and is extremely rare in the wilderness.

Whether this feather of the King of Birds is from the Three-Winged Thunderbird is unknown.

In addition, Shen Xuan had promised a three-tailed tabby cat.

Of the six demon kings, the three-tailed tabby cat is the easiest to win over.

She was also the one he had the best relationship with.

In fact, in terms of influence among the demon race, the Howling Moon Fox is clearly more powerful.

However, the Howling Moon Fox is too clever.

They're not as easy to deal with as the three-tailed tabby cat.

"Alright, now it's my turn."

Frosty Wolf stood up and took out two cans of tea.

"Freshly picked Frosty Soul Tea, two catties of spiritual tea in exchange for one Barrier-Breaking Pill."

Frosty Snow Wolf looked at Shen Xuan.

Clearly, he believed that Shen Xuan was the most generous among these human cultivators.

Zhuo Qingning, as the president of the Tongxin Chamber of Commerce, could only make a bid after Shen Xuan gave the order.

"Fellow Daoist Liushuang, we are old acquaintances."

"To be honest, these two catties of Frostbite Cold Soul Tea can only be exchanged for one Blood Tempering Pill, not one Barrier Breaking Pill."

Breakthrough Pill is a spirit pill for demon beasts that allows them to break through minor realms.

Like the human race's elixir, it is much more expensive than ordinary elixirs.

Previously, Shen Xuan had exchanged two Ice Soul Flying Sword Talismans for two catties of Frostbite Cold Soul Spirit Tea.

After drinking it, he discovered that this ice spirit tea was quite beneficial to his cultivation of ice magic.

Over time, it has a remarkable effect on nourishing the soul and enhancing understanding.

Frosty Snow Wolf looked at Howling Moon Fox.

"Master Shen, Liu Shuang is about to break through, please do me a favor."

"Howling Moon Fox said frankly."

"All right!"

Shen Xuan took out a Breakthrough Pill.

"I have a condition."

"Please speak, Master Shen." "Fellow Daoist Liushuang, please add ten Liushuang Cold Soul Tea Seeds."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Anyone could see that Shen Xuan intended to cultivate the Frostbite Tree himself.

"can!"

A white light flashed in Liu Shuangxuelang's eyes, and he spoke.

He took out a jade box.

There are approximately thirty tea varieties.

Pour out ten pieces and put them into another jade box.

"Master Shen has inspected it and there are exactly ten tea seeds inside."

Shen Xuan smiled.

"Two Breakthrough Pills, and add all these tea varieties in."

"OK!"

The Frosty Snow Wolf pushed both jade boxes, one large and one small, toward Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan scanned the tea varieties with his divine sense and confirmed that they contained vitality.

After accepting the spirit tea and tea seeds, Shen Xuan slowly took out a medicine bottle, poured out two Breakthrough Pills, and handed them to Liu Shuang Xue Lang.

In that instant, all the demon kings couldn't help but swallow hard.

"It's my turn!"

"Flying Leopard shouted loudly."

What he took out was a magical gourd vine.

"This is the finest treasure in my Flying Cloud Forest, the Treasure Gourd Spirit Vine!"

"The spirit vine absorbs the spiritual energy of the five elements and grows in the Flying Cloud Forest for eight hundred years. If cultivated properly, it can bear a treasure gourd after two hundred years!"

"I will use this spirit vine to exchange for ten Blood Tempering Pills."

At first, Master Xuanyuan and the others were quite interested.

Upon hearing the price offered by Flying Leopard, they all shook their heads.

Seeing that Shen Xuan had no intention of bidding, Zhuo Qingning said, "Fellow Daoist Feiyun, your price is too high. How about five Spirit Transformation Pills?"

The Tongxin Chamber of Commerce also has third-tier alchemists who provide elixirs for demon beasts.

"I don't want the Spirit Transformation Pill!"

Flying Cloud Leopard looked at Shen Xuan: "Master Shen, name your price."

Shen Xuan then slowly said, "I am not skilled in spiritual plants, so I don't know if this spiritual vine can produce a treasure gourd."

The already spotted face of the Flying Leopard immediately turned bright red.

What Shen Xuan said was not untrue.

The claim that a magic gourd will grow two hundred years later is just speculation.

I've never seen a Flying Leopard.

If it could truly produce a treasure gourd, why would he need to put it out for trade now?

The Howling Moon Fox suddenly spoke up: "Master Shen, this spirit vine is the best spirit plant in the Flying Cloud Forest, and the Flying Cloud Leopard has guarded it for more than three hundred years."

Shen Xuan then took the magic gourd and spirit vine and examined them repeatedly.

His perception far surpasses that of ordinary people.

It's obvious that this magical gourd vine is no ordinary spiritual plant.

At least, the third-tier spiritual plant truly deserves its name.

As for whether it can produce a unique treasure gourd.

Then it depends on luck.

In the world of cultivation, the gourd spirit vine is a special existence.

The innate gourd vine is one of the innate spiritual roots in ancient mythology.

The treasure gourds that grow from them are all innate treasures with extraordinary abilities.

“Since Fellow Daoist Xiaoyue has spoken, I naturally believe him.”

"However, it will take another two hundred years to cultivate. Moreover, what kind of treasure gourd it will produce is still unknown. The risk is quite high. Fellow Daoist Feiyun's asking price is too high!"

Shen Xuan said calmly.

He did want to cultivate some useful spiritual plants.

Like the Liushuang Hanpo tea variety, which is named after the Liushuang Xuelang.

By utilizing the secret techniques of the Demon Wood Sect and investing more resources, results can be seen in a short period of time.

The magic gourd and spirit vine are like gambling on jade in a past life.

Whether you make a profit or not depends entirely on luck.

Shen Xuan pushed the magic gourd vine back.

"How about this, a fixed price: five Blood Tempering Pills."

Flying Cloud Leopard looked at Howling Moon Fox.

This time, Howling Moon Fox showed no expression.

The meaning is simple: take charge yourself.

The Flying Leopard shook its head and hopped around.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Master Shen, I'll give you face and give you five Blood Tempering Pills."

Shen Xuan immediately took out the Blood Tempering Pill and completed the transaction with the Flying Cloud Leopard.

"After returning to the sect, please have Senior Brother Changchun take a good look at what kind of properties this treasure gourd spirit vine has."

Five Blood Tempering Pills would cost no more than a million spirit stones, which he could afford to gamble on.

Next up is Howling Moon Fox.

She said calmly, "I don't trade any spiritual items."

The Great Moon Fox's greatest skill is condensing the Moon Spirit Pearl.

At this moment, she directly offered it as tribute to the Purple Cloud Tree King.

They no longer need Shen Xuan, the middleman who profits from the price difference.

"It's finally my turn!"

The Earth Bear roared, its thunderous sound making everyone's ears ring.

Shen Xuan silently assessed its strength in his mind.

The demonic aura emanating from the Earth Bear was similar to that of the Crimson Flame Tiger.

In other words, the Earth Bear possesses the combat strength of a Golden Core cultivator.

"Is this Meteorite Spirit Soil?"

Looking at the pile of black crystalline spiritual soil that the Earth Bear had placed on the jade table, Zhuang Xueqin asked hesitantly.

"Indeed. This is the meteorite spirit soil that I have refined for many years."

Shen Xuan glanced at it, but remained unmoved.

This spiritual soil is a mixture of meteorite metal and special spiritual soil.

The effect of planting spiritual plants is not significant.

It is an excellent material for refining earth-attribute protective magical artifacts.

For example, mixing some meteorite spirit soil into an earth-attribute spirit shield can significantly increase its defensive power.

Finally, after a heated exchange, Zhuang Xueqin borrowed two Blood Tempering Pills from Shen Xuan and successfully traded the pile of Meteorite Spirit Soil.

Finally, there's the Spirit Flame Tiger.

He obtained a near-third-tier avatar from True Person Xuanyuan.

It looks exactly like him, lifelike.

Clearly, this Crimson Tiger Demon incarnation was custom-made for him by True Person Xuanyuan.

The price had already been agreed upon between the human and the demon.

Crimson Tiger handed Xuan Yuan Zhenren a jade box that was wrapped up tightly.

If Shen Xuan wasn't mistaken, there were some Fire Kirin Fruits inside.

After the exchange meeting concluded, the human cultivators departed.

Shen Xuan gave a few instructions and left Ziyun Immortal City alone.

In the darkness of night, Shen Xuan rode his silver-horned celestial horse, soaring through the sky at a great height.

At this time, a voice came from behind.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
