Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 398: A Bountiful Harvest

"Don’t worry, Brother Shen. I’m very experienced with this kind of thing."

Ling Zhenfeng said with a smile.

He walked towards Murong Cheng’s corpse.

"Good news, Murong Cheng’s Storage Pouch is intact!"

Ling Zhenfeng showed a hint of a smile.

He was the Saint Child of the Yin Sha Sect, a direct descendant of the Murong Family.

Just came down from the Daoist Demon Battlefield.

His wealth must be considerable.

"Ah! The Crescent Moon Demon Ring isn’t too damaged! It’s still usable!"

"It’s a pity about the Nether Bone Fan!"

Ling Zhenfeng exclaimed like a child as he collected items.

Shen Xuan smiled without speaking.

Actually, he wasn’t as exhausted as he seemed.

While driving the Purple Gold True Water Seal, he deliberately preserved Murong Cheng’s Storage Pouch and Demon Treasure.

It’s wise to be cautious.

A moment ago, Shen Xuan appeared to be spiritually exhausted, and it wasn’t entirely fake.

Though it was somewhat exaggerated.

His Spiritual Power was indeed reduced to about two or three tenths.

With Ling Zhenfeng’s strength, if he suddenly attacked, he could kill both him and Qin Yuehan.

And then he could take all the spoils from the battlefield alone.

It’s not that Shen Xuan is overly suspicious.

In the Cultivation World, interests are paramount.

For the sake of profit, master and disciple may turn against each other, father and son could become enemies, it has happened countless times.

In the entire Cultivation Realm, he trusted only Master Hanyu and Qin Yuehan.

Even Master Gu Feng and Lv Zhengying were not trustworthy to him. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Let alone Ling Zhenfeng, who he had only met twice in a hundred years.

Moreover, he was a disciple of the Yin Sha Sect.

To survive until now, he couldn’t have been soft-hearted.

Tonight, they just agreed on a meeting place.

Coincidentally, it led Murong Cheng, the Saint Child of the Yin Sha Sect, and the others to this place.

If he hadn’t been strong enough.

He and Qin Yuehan might have perished right here.

Of course, Shen Xuan had many trump cards.

Even with most of his Spiritual Power depleted.

If Ling Zhenfeng had any ill intentions and suddenly attacked.

All that awaited him was a dead end.

Shen Xuan was already prepared.

If Ling Zhenfeng showed any odd movements, he would immediately activate the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman nurtured in his Dantian.

Absolutely capable of killing in one strike.

Fortunately, Ling Zhenfeng didn’t make any sudden moves.

He stayed in place, maintaining a safe distance from him. ’

Until Shen Xuan consumed three drops of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk, restoring most of his Spiritual Power.

Only then did Shen Xuan slightly relax.

At least he wouldn’t have to personally kill a former schoolmate.

In truth, he didn’t want such internal strife to occur either.

...

Atop the peak of the Broken Soul Cliff.

Over ten thousand Shadow-devouring Demon Insects scattered, keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings.

In all four directions, east, south, west, north, more than ten Cyan Spirit Ice Walls were erected, blocking and isolating the outside world.

On a clean patch of grass.

The three sat cross-legged.

Ling Zhenfeng was organizing the various spoils.

Previously, Murong Cheng and his two companions’ corpses were burned to ashes by Ling Zhenfeng with demon fire and scattered at the bottom of the cliff.

"Brother Shen, rest assured. Even if the Murong Demon Lord comes to investigate personally, they won’t be able to trace Murong Cheng’s cause of death."

Ling Zhenfeng’s actions were clean and efficient.

Evidently, he had a lot of experience in destroying bodies and eliminating traces.

"Did he not have any tracking treasures on him?"

"None!"

Ling Zhenfeng explained: "The Yuwen Family’s descendants are few and far between, among the direct line offspring, only three or four are as promising as Yu Wenjun."

"The Murong Family is a large family, with over a dozen Saint Children alone."

"In that context, Murong Cheng wasn’t particularly outstanding."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan finally relaxed.

Not that he feared Murong Demon Lord.

Murong Cheng ventured into the territory of Cyan Cloud Sect on his own accord.

It forged a deadly enmity, and Shen Xuan naturally wouldn’t spare his life.

Moreover, Shen Xuan was currently short of Spirit Stones.

Improving the Purifying Foundation Pill still required unknown amounts of precious herbs.

No matter how powerful Murong Demon Lord was, he wouldn’t dare come to Cyan Cloud Sect to settle accounts.

This Magical Combat yielded extremely rich spoils.

The Storage Pouches and Demon Treasures of the late-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivators Niu Dahai and Niu Da Jiang were undamaged.

The truly wealthy one was Murong Cheng, the Saint Child of the Yin Sha Sect.

His wealth far exceeded that of the Niu brothers combined.

"Spirit Stones, four hundred seventy thousand."

"Demon Stones, seven hundred eighty thousand."

Ling Zhenfeng reported the numbers.

Shen Xuan received the Spirit Stones.

Recently, he was constructing a Tier Three dual-line Alchemy Room with Water and Fire Techniques on Cold Jade Peak.

The cost was as high as three million Spirit Stones.

It’s not that he couldn’t gather these Spirit Stones.

He just didn’t want to sell high-tier Spiritual Objects.

Once Cultivation Spiritual Objects reach Tier Two Upper Grade and above, it’s very hard to procure them with Spirit Stones.

They are usually acquired through bartering.

"Leave the Demon Stones aside for now."

"Alright!"

"Top Grade Demon Treasure Crescent Moon Demon Ring, Upper Grade Demon Treasure Black Gold Demon Axe, Black Iron Demon Staff, damaged Upper Grade Demon Treasure Nether Bone Fan."

"Set those aside."

No matter how rich the demon cultivators are, to Shen Xuan, they are still not as valuable as spirit cultivators.

Treasures like these Demon Treasures and Demon Stones, as well as various Demon Pills and Demon Talismans, are of limited use to spirit cultivators.

They are a hassle to dispose of, and their prices are particularly low.

Thankfully, Ling Zhenfeng, an expert from the Demon Sect, was there.

He calmly counted the spoils.

Each time announcing the grade, function, and approximate value.

This gave Shen Xuan a clear idea.

According to the unwritten rules of the Cultivation Realm.

Those who see the spoils have a share.

The spoils from this round of Magical Combat don’t just belong to Qin Yuehan; Ling Zhenfeng also has a share.

The specific distribution would depend on Shen Xuan’s wishes.

"What’s this?"

In a pile of spoils, red light flashed in Shen Xuan’s eyes.

With the Wealth Attraction skill activated, a red and a blue jade stone drew his attention.

His Divine Soul was thrilled.

Clearly, they were very beneficial for his Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation Body Refining Technique.

Ling Zhenfeng picked up the red jade stone, squinting at it.

"This looks like a Demon Flood Dragon Bloodstone. A few drops of Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood must have fallen on it, turning it into this form."

"Give it to me."

"Alright."

Since there’s Essence Blood of the Demon Flood Dragon up there, maybe it can be refined.

No wonder the Divine Soul Sensing is so excited.

"What about this one?"

Shen Xuan pointed to another piece of cyan jade.

Ling Zhenfeng observed it repeatedly.

"There’s no demon blood or demonic qi. It doesn’t seem like a demon object, it seems to be a Spiritual Object."

"Let me take a look."

Shen Xuan took the cyan jade.

The texture was dense, lush and vibrant, with an inherent mysterious pattern on the surface, emitting a faint shimmering glow.

He placed the cyan jade in front of his consciousness sea.

The Divine Soul Sensing became even more intense.

Guang Xuan executed the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique to its utmost.

Within his sight, the mysterious patterns on the surface of the cyan jade began to flow extremely slowly.

Shen Xuan’s heart suddenly surged with alarm.

The design...

It bore a resemblance to the purple dragon of his Purple Gold True Water Seal.

The Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique could detect subtle Spiritual Power fluctuations, unravel illusions, pierce through falsehoods, and perceive the essence.

But no matter how he looked.

He only saw some mysterious patterns moving slowly.

Besides that, he found nothing unusual.

"I refuse to believe I’ll be fooled by a mere piece of jade stone!"

The Divine Soul Sensing couldn’t be mistaken.

Insight, Sharp-eyed, Smell and Taste, Ears Listening in All Directions...

Sure enough.

A series of body refining skills were executed to their limits.

Only then could he discern the full picture of the cyan jade.

The mysterious pattern on the surface turned out to be a cyan flood dragon swimming freely.

When he placed the cyan jade by his ear, he faintly heard an extremely subtle sound.

As if something was softly singing, ancient and mysterious.

However, this sound was extremely familiar to Shen Xuan.

It was precisely the flood dragon’s singing after his transformation!

"Dragon Chant Stone!"

Shen Xuan’s heart trembled.

Then, he was overjoyed.

Legend has it that some special jade stones under the sea could preserve the sound of flood dragons.

The Dragon Chant Stone was one such example.

Its value lies in the quality of the flood dragon.

Regardless, it is a rare heavenly Spiritual Object.

Shen Xuan collected the Demon Flood Dragon Blood Stone and the Dragon Chant Stone.

Looking at the scattered demon cultivator items, he couldn’t help but frown.

He couldn’t possibly give them all to Ling Zhenfeng.

But taking them back to the Cyan Cloud Sect wouldn’t fetch a good price.

Especially those Demon Pills and Demon Talismans, they were nearly useless for a Spirit Cultivator.

Among them were also two high-value Tier-Breaking Demon Pills for advancing from Middle Stage to Late Stage of Demon Foundation.

The haul was significant, exceeding Shen Xuan’s expectations.

Just hard to deal with, difficult to sell for a good price.

According to Ling Zhenfeng’s estimation.

Excluding the three Demon Treasures, these demon objects were worth about eight hundred thousand Demon Stones.

Adding to the original seventy-eight Demon Stones.

It came to around one million six hundred thousand Demon Stones.

"By the way, A Feng, why was Murong chasing you?"

"For this."

Ling Zhenfeng took out a crystal clear, semitransparent white jade.

"What is this?"

"Moon Soul Jade. One of the best Core Formation demon objects for demon cultivators."

Ling Zhenfeng explained, "Moon Soul Jade can absorb Taiyin Essence, continuously enhancing soul strength."

"If this Moon Soul Jade can be integrated into the body, using the jade as a core, there’s a slight chance of forming a Demon Pill by consolidating a Demonic Sea."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan’s heart stirred.

"Is Moon Soul Jade useful for Nether Cultivators?"

"It’s not a matter of usefulness or not,"

Ling Zhenfeng smiled and said, "Moon Soul Jade is the best Core Formation demon object for Nether Cultivators, second to none."

"I see!"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "How much is this worth?"

"It’s rarely seen, however, a piece appeared at the Yin Sha Sect auction over a decade ago, fetching one million two hundred thousand Demon Stones."

"That’s so expensive!"

Shen Xuan was somewhat astonished.

The exchange rate between Demon Stones and Spirit Stones is roughly one to one.

This piece of Moon Soul Jade is worth over a million Spirit Stones.

It exceeded Shen Xuan’s expectations.

"That’s not considered pricey. With the Moon Soul Jade and the Demon Transformation Pill, the quality of the Demon Foundation can reach Upper Grade, with a success rate of thirty to forty percent in forming a Demon Pill."

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment.

"A Feng, how about I trade you these demon objects and Demon Stones for the Moon Soul Jade in your hand?"

"Since Brother Shen is asking, no problem."

Ling Zhenfeng readily agreed.

"Aren’t you going to ask why I want the Moon Soul Jade?"

"What’s there to ask? I’m not losing out,"

Ling Zhenfeng laughed.

"I just stepped into the seventh level of Demon Foundation, still a long way from Core Formation."

"With this batch of Demon Stones and materials, I can make some connections in the Yin Sha Sect. I’ll find a way to secure a Saint Child title to join the next Daoist Demon Trial."

Ling Zhenfeng handed the Moon Soul Jade to Shen Xuan, happily collecting the Demon Stones and demon objects on the ground.

"These three Demon Treasures..."

Shen Xuan pondered for a while.

"Do you have any valuable Spirit Cultivator items on you?"

"I do have some, but I’m not sure if they’re valuable or not. Just let Brother Shen take a look."

Ling Zhenfeng took out his collection.

One Upper Grade Flying Sword Treasure, three Middle Grade Flying Sword Treasures.

One Upper Grade Defensive Spirit Wood Shield.

Two Foundation Establishment Pills, several bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills and True Essence Pills.

Seventeen thousand Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, there was a mysterious lotus seed.

Shen Xuan focused his gaze.

The mysterious lotus seed was tightly sealed, even the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique couldn’t see through it.

"A Feng, you’ve got quite the collection of treasures!"

Ling Zhenfeng chuckled without speaking.

"A Feng, in the future, try to avoid unnecessary killing, don’t wantonly kill the innocent."

"I know. If it’s not absolutely necessary, I won’t go on a killing spree."

Ling Zhenfeng sighed.

"The evil qi on me is getting heavier. I need to find a way to cleanse some of it."

"Good to know."

Shen Xuan didn’t say more.

Having joined a Demon Sect and become a demon cultivator, talking about kindness and justice would be too hypocritical.

If he could avoid creating too many killings, that would be good enough.

"A Feng, I’ll trade these few Demon Treasures for the Magical Treasures, Spirit Stones, and Spiritual Objects you have."
