Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 975: Chapter 707: Thunder Peng Puppet

He could sense the overwhelming and violent magic power contained within the Inner Core Essence Blood.

With the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus protecting him, he had previously succeeded in refining an ice-attribute magic jiao.

Shen Xuan did not reject Demon Beasts.

Instead, he felt they suited his needs perfectly.

However, on the surface, he furrowed his brows slightly, showing hesitation: "Fellow Daoist Shou Yang, forgive Guo for being presumptuous, is the source of this item reliable?"

True Master Shou Yang pondered, "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, rest assured. The item’s origin is legitimate; our Sect’s Red Lotus Ancestor personally exchanged it from the Forgetful Sect, and records can verify it."

The Forgetful Sect is a major Demon Dao sect in Qin Country, and has long had transactions with the Bright Flame Sect.

Shen Xuan slowly nodded, "Alright."

"In such a case, is Fellow Daoist Profound Ice satisfied?" True Master Shou Yang asked.

"It’s still lacking a set."

Shen Xuan spoke frankly, looking calmly at the other party.

Honestly, True Master Shou Yang’s offer was quite sincere.

A set of Tier Three Top Grade Demon Beast Inner Core Essence Blood for the equivalent of two sets of Tier Three Upper Grade, more than sufficient.

However, the Demon Flame Cloud Leopard is a Demon Beast.

On the market, compared to Spirit Beasts, its value is evidently lower.

The Dragon Bone Fruit is, after all, a Tier Four Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object, and inherently rare.

Shen Xuan’s asking price was already a discounted one.

He naturally wouldn’t let True Master Shou Yang fool him.

Hearing this, True Master Shou Yang showed a look of helplessness.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, please understand. In the Sect Treasure Vault, there are also Inner Core stocks of the Fire Separation Silver Roc and Molten Divine Turtle, with excellent quality..."

His words were incomplete, but the meaning was clear.

Those good items had long been exchanged by you using True Monarch Red Lotus’s Token and Sect Contribution Points.

Shen Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, "In that case, the shortfall in one set, please ask Fellow Daoist Shou Yang to make up the difference with sect merits."

True Master Shou Yang sighed, taking out his Identity Token.

A flash of Spiritual Light passed, transferring several million sect merits to "Guo Shiyan’s" name.

That number was enough to exchange for many rare resources within the sect.

"Excellent."

Shen Xuan did not say more, waved his hand to collect the two sets of Jade Boxes and Jade Bottles, and then stood up.

The Jade Box containing the Dragon Bone Fruit was left on the Jade Table.

The transaction completed.

He did not linger, turning to walk toward the pavilion’s exit.

True Master Shou Yang waved his sleeve.

The restriction silently dispersed.

Outside the pavilion, True Master Miao Lian had not gone far, standing by the railing gazing into the distance.

Upon hearing the commotion, she immediately turned, smiling charmingly as she approached.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, finished talking? Did it go smoothly?"

Her eyes sparkled, examining Shen Xuan’s expression.

...

Watching Shen Xuan and True Master Miao Lian’s figures disappear into the clouds.

The smile on True Master Shou Yang’s face slowly faded, turning and transforming into a red Escape Light, dashing toward Red Lotus Peak.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

True Monarch Red Lotus sat on a Red Jade Lotus Platform, his aura as deep as an ocean.

Seeing True Master Shou Yang return, he raised his eyes slightly.

"True Monarch, this is the item from Fellow Daoist Profound Ice’s transaction."

True Master Shou Yang presented the Jade Box with both hands.

True Monarch Red Lotus took it, opened the lid.

His Divine Sense like threads, meticulously probing for a long time.

True Monarch Red Lotus closed the lid, returned it to True Master Shou Yang.

"A thousand-year Dragon Bone Fruit, Spiritual Power pure."

True Monarch Red Lotus’s voice was calm and unperturbed.

"Shou Yang, you’ve reached Golden Core Perfection, Dharma Aspect Peak. With this fruit’s assistance, you may first attempt to advance to the Divine Power Realm, then seek the path of Nascent Soul."

"Disciple will dutifully follow True Monarch’s decree."

True Master Shou Yang bowed to comply, eyes flashed with a hint of fervor.

Qin Country’s cultivators often practice both Body Refining and Spirit Cultivation, but fundamentally focus on Spirit Cultivation.

For someone like him, Golden Core Perfection, Dharma Aspect reaching the peak, the typical path is to form a Nascent Soul first.

Breaking through from the Dharma Realm to the Divine Power Realm is also crossing a major barrier, the process dangerous, inevitably attracting Celestial Tribulation.

However, if supported strongly by the sect, resources piled high.

Like True Monarch Red Lotus, giving full support, plus the addition of this Tier Four Spirit Fruit that enhances the source of essence and blood.

Advancing first to Body Refining Divine Realm, solidifying the foundation, then seeking Nascent Soul, is also a feasible path.

"Has there been anything unusual about Profound Ice recently?" True Monarch Red Lotus asked.

True Master Shou Yang pondered to answer, "Returning to True Monarch, based on disciple’s observation, there’s been no unusual movements. The informants around Tiger Roar Peak reported, he has never been seen leaving the peak. The stewards and servants arranged within the peak reported that he stays secluded in his Cave Mansion for quiet cultivation."

"In disciple’s humble opinion, this person has a resolute mind, a solitary ascetic."

True Monarch Red Lotus slightly nodded, asking no more.

Towards Shen Xuan, he always maintained a certain scrutiny.

However, as long as the other party remained compliant, there was no need to rush action.

"Since so, you may temporarily hand over the sect affairs in your hand to True Master Lingyan to manage."

True Monarch Red Lotus instructed.

"After returning, begin preparations, enter seclusion to break through the realm. Any external objects required have already been prepared by the sect."

"Yes! Disciple accepts the order, thanking True Monarch for completion!"

True Master Shou Yang’s expression grew solemn, respectfully saluting.

For him, breaking through to the Divine Power Realm, forming a Nascent Soul is the pressing matter above all.

As for Nascent Soul Pill, Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Objects, Soul-Protecting Pill, and other rare resources, True Monarch Red Lotus has long planned them well for him.

He has always been True Monarch Red Lotus’s most capable aid.

At the critical moment, True Monarch will surely protect him, assisting him in breaking through and advancing.

...

Cultivation knows no passage of time, indifferent to the years.

Four years passed quietly.

In the secret chamber, Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

The characters on the Mysterious Jade Talisman were clear as if engraved.

[Talent: Spirit Flame Firebird Minor Success (18/800)]

[Lifespan: 240/890]

[Dao Rhyme: 5621868]

[Talent: Wind and Thunder Escape Technique Great Success (12/1600)]

During these four years, he focused on quiet cultivation, thoroughly refining and absorbing the Inner Core and Essence Blood of the Tier Three Upper Grade Thunder Roc King.

The Dao Rhyme Points increased explosively by over one million five hundred thousand.

Similar to when he had refined the Purple-Eyed Flood Dragon.

But the more critical advancement was in Divine Power.
