Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 416: Sect’s Demonic Shadow

At this moment.

In Ge Chengming’s secret room.

The magic eye emerged from Ge Chengming’s forehead, chattering incessantly.

"Brother Ge, you need to think of a way to lure Shen Xuan out of the Cyan Cloud Sect."

"He’s been hiding at Cold Jade Peak like a turtle in its shell. The people at Medicine God Valley are getting impatient."

Ge Chengming calmly said, "Shen Xuan won’t trust me."

"But you accepted their Golden Transformation Pill!"

The magic eye said viciously.

"I completed the transaction with Medicine God Valley."

Ge Chengming coldly said, "I gave them the information. It’s their problem if they can’t catch Shen Xuan."

"You can’t say it like that!"

The eyeball of the magic eye swirled cunningly, "We’re all in the same boat. If the boat capsizes, no one is going to feel good. Brother Ge, think of a plan."

Ge Chengming fell into deep thought.

He wished more than anyone for Medicine God Valley to capture Shen Xuan.

Ideally, Shen Xuan would remain unyielding, and the True Masters of Medicine God Valley would perform a soul search on him, turning him into a mindless fool.

"Lord Thousand-Eyed Demon, do you have a way? To temporarily confuse his mind?"

The magic eye shook back and forth repeatedly.

"No."

"If I show myself within the Cyan Cloud Sect and the Sect Protection Array detects me, you won’t be unscathed either."

"Besides, Shen Xuan can only be defeated by a True Master. My main body is not here, and relying solely on this one eye, I’m not confident in making a rash move."

Ge Chengming felt a wave of disdain in his heart.

In the end, even the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord could do nothing about Shen Xuan.

"I have information that he is collecting Core Formation Demon items and high-tier demon beast essence blood."

Ge Chengming looked toward the magic eye, a glint of anticipation in his gaze.

The magic eye pondered and said, "I can have people deliver two items. You send someone to lure him out of the Cyan Cloud Sect for a transaction."

Ge Chengming’s eyes lit up, "Then let the people from Medicine God Valley capture him at the transaction site?"

"No, intercept him along the way."

The magic eye said with confidence, "You don’t need to get involved. Whether it succeeds or fails, suspicion won’t fall on you."

Ge Chengming laughed, "That’s a good plan. It’s worth a try!"

...

Cyan Cloud Sect, Flowing Light Market, Lone Peak Treasury.

Lv Zhengying looked curiously at the cultivator hiding his identity in front of him.

He was definitely a disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

However, he couldn’t understand why the other party insisted on wearing a cloak and mask that blocked the exploration of Divine Sense.

This made him particularly conspicuous in the Lone Peak Treasury.

"Senior Brother, do you need something?"

"I saw your shop has put up a sign, offering to purchase Core Formation Demon items and high-tier demon beast essence blood at high prices."

"That’s correct."

"Do you recognize these two treasures?"

The masked cultivator took out a pitch-black Yin Pearl and a piece of demon beast essence blood with a pungent smell.

"This is... the Nine Transformation Yin Marrow Pearl of Core Formation Demons?"

The Nine Transformation Yin Marrow Pearl was refined from the remains of cultivators.

Starting from the remains of Early Stage Qi Cultivation cultivators.

Each transformation requires the corresponding cultivator’s Realm Cultivation.

The Ninth Transformation requires Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators.

Lv Zhengying gasped.

He had only heard of the Nine Transformation Yin Marrow Pearl before.

This was the first time he had ever seen one.

The chilling Yin Qi it emitted sent a shiver down his spine, making his hair stand on end.

He then looked at the deep blue demon beast essence blood, the Demonic Qi it released filled with a violent aura.

"What kind of demon beast essence blood is this?"

"Blood Shadow Demon Wolf, Tier Two Top Grade."

The masked cultivator asked, "Do you accept these two treasures?"

"Yes."

Lv Zhengying replied firmly.

"I wonder, Senior Brother, what is your asking price for these two treasures?"

"I don’t want Spirit Stones. I only want Senior Brother Shen Xuan’s Cold Jade Pill."

"Alright."

Lv Zhengying smiled and said, "I can bring Senior Brother with me to Cold Jade Peak and discuss with Senior Brother Shen Xuan in person."

The masked cultivator shook his head, "It’s inconvenient for me to go to Cold Jade Peak."

"Could I trouble Senior Brother Shen to come to Qing Yun Immortal City for a discussion?"

"Qing Yun Immortal City?"

Lv Zhengying hesitated.

"I can’t make that decision. How about this, I’ll ask Senior Brother Shen. Please wait a moment, Senior Brother."

After speaking, Lv Zhengying took out a Communication Talisman to inform Shen Xuan of the situation.

On the other side.

Shen Xuan received Lv Zhengying’s Communication Talisman, his mind filled with suspicion.

"Clearly a sect disciple, deliberately hiding his identity in the Sect Market."

"Not coming to Cold Jade Peak for a transaction, asking me to go to Qing Yun Immortal City instead."

Shen Xuan casually cast a Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil spell.

His heart suddenly throbbed violently.

"Damn, it’s a great omen of danger!"

This feeling left a deep impression on Shen Xuan.

The danger was immense.

Large enough to threaten his life.

"Such ruthless intentions! They actually plan to strike against me!"

Shen Xuan pondered.

"In Qing Yun Immortal City, under the protection of True Master Guang Wei and the city’s protection array, the perpetrators would not dare to act within the city."

"So it must be along the road from the Cyan Cloud Sect to Qing Yun Immortal City where they plan to act."

"Considering this, not even the sect airship is safe."

Since nothing had happened yet, Shen Xuan couldn’t provide any evidence.

However, in the Sect Market, only dealing with a Foundation Establishment disciple, Shen Xuan had no fear.

"Junior Brother Lv, keep that person there, I will go to the shop for a detailed discussion."

After sending out the message, Shen Xuan summoned his Silver-Horned Celestial Horse and immediately rushed to the Flowing Light Market.

However, when he arrived at the Lone Peak Treasury.

He only found Lv Zhengying with a bitter smile on his face.

"Where is he?"

"Gone."

"Didn’t I tell you to hold him?"

Lv Zhengying explained, "Senior Brother Shen, I also wanted to keep him."

"Strangely enough, for some reason, he suddenly said he had something to do and turned away."

"According to sect regulations, no disciple is allowed to fight within the sect grounds for any reason."

In truth, Lv Zhengying understood clearly that even if he did take action, he might not have been a match for the other person.

"Forget it, they’re after me anyway."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

"They might have planted spies outside Cold Jade Peak or Flowing Light Market."

"When they saw me coming, they immediately left."

"Ah!"

Lv Zhengying cautiously asked, "So, the opponent isn’t alone?"

Shen Xuan glanced sideways at Lv Zhengying.

"What are you thinking! Alone! Would anyone use Core Formation demon beast and demon Essence Blood as bait!"

Making the opponent go to such lengths must surely be due to the Cold Jade Pill formula.

Although the three direct disciples of the Spirit Pill Hall know the formula too, they are set with Divine Soul restrictions, unable to divulge it.

Aside from these, only Mysterious Trace True Master, True Master Changsheng, True Master Cold Jade, Li Ruyi, and he himself are aware.

Li Ruyi stays on Cold Jade Peak, no matter what happens, he won’t take a step off Cold Jade Peak.

The opponent doesn’t know much about Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi broke through to the Late Stage of Soul Foundation, able to personally refine a Cold Jade Pill, a fact unknown outside Cold Jade Peak.

But Shen Xuan, being the heir of True Master Cold Jade, has been constantly refining the Cold Jade Pill.

This is also why Shen Xuan never leaves the Sect.

The newly released Tier Two special pill formula has a broad market and great profits.

Sufficient to invite disaster.

Lv Zhengying asked, "Could we ask the Law Enforcement Hall for help in investigating this person’s identity?"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "It’s possible, but don’t hold out too much hope."

The opponent is just concealing their identity and has not violated any sect laws.

In fact, the Law Enforcement Hall doesn’t have the authority to investigate.

However, for those in power, many things can be flexible.

Shen Xuan turned around and headed to the Law Enforcement Hall to find He Zhengming.

He briefly described the matters regarding the Gu Feng ship.

"Senior Brother He, I suspect someone is trying to kidnap me."

Shen Xuan spoke bluntly.

"That serious!"

He Zhengming was quite shocked.

This is within the Sect.

Who would be bold enough to kidnap a direct disciple of a True Master?

"It’s very likely they’ll make a move on the Sect warship."

The Sect warship is docked outside the Cyan Cloud Sect array, traveling back and forth between Immortal Cities.

But not everyone aboard is a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple.

Some passengers are visiting the Cyan Cloud Sect on business or seeking friends.

Although there are Battle Hall disciples stationed on the Sect warship, all at Foundation Establishment Realm.

If the opponent is prepared.

They might be able to hijack the Sect ship.

Such incidents rarely occur.

But in the history of Cyan Cloud Sect, there have indeed been a few cases.

"That’s bold! Don’t worry, Junior Brother Shen, I’ll start investigating immediately!"

That’s the advantage of having connections.

Even if nothing has happened.

Out of respect for Shen Xuan, He Zhengming would act swiftly and wholeheartedly.

"Junior Brother Shen, wait a moment. I’ll be right back."

Shen Xuan knew He Zhengming was going to check the records of the Sect Protection Array.

All areas within Cyan Cloud Sect are under the surveillance of the Sect Protection Array.

As long as they lock onto the masked cultivator, trace their whereabouts, and confirm their designated area.

Then, following the clues, inquiring one by one, they can determine this person’s identity.

An hour later.

He Zhengming returned to the reception room, his expression solemn.

"Senior Brother He, can you identify the person?"

"Junior Brother Shen, shamefully!"

A hint of apology appeared on He Zhengming’s face.

"The person came prepared. Outside Flowing Light Market, no trace of them was seen."

Shen Xuan felt his heart sink.

"Did they change disguises in the dead zone of the Sect Protection Array?"

"Most likely."

It seems that the person’s identity and status are not low.

"Where did they go after leaving Flowing Light Market?"

"I don’t know, didn’t see their figure at all."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "It’s simple. They changed back to their original identity in the dead zone of the Sect Protection Array."

He Zhengming asked puzzledly, "Strange, how is this person so familiar with the monitoring of the Sect Protection Array?"

"Because this person is a plant inserted in the Sect by a rival influence!"

Shen Xuan reminded him.

The backing of the plant is a cultivation influence on par with Cyan Cloud Sect.

With intelligence support as well.

Otherwise, how could they lurk in Cyan Cloud Sect for so long?

"This is serious. I must report to the master."

"As you should."

With nothing gained, Shen Xuan bid farewell to the Law Enforcement Hall and returned to Cold Jade Peak.

This strengthened his resolve to stay focused on cultivation within Cold Jade Peak.

For safety’s sake, Shen Xuan reported the matter to True Master Cold Jade.

After listening, True Master Cold Jade repeatedly warned not to leave the peak when unnecessary.

This is a good opportunity to concentrate and diligently cultivate, swiftly enhancing realm cultivation is the root.

"At your command, Master."

Shen Xuan returned to his cave mansion and began closed-door cultivation.

"Let’s see who can endure this! Competing in patience, Shen hasn’t lost yet!"

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

Unless the alarm is lifted, he will stay at Cold Jade Peak and continue hiding.

He doesn’t believe their patience can be that good, to wait endlessly.

Moreover, the upper echelon of Cyan Cloud Sect will not stand idly by.

According to Lv Zhengying’s observation.

This person’s realm cultivation is higher than his.

At least Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

With such realm cultivation, definitely a core disciple of Cyan Cloud Sect.

There’s a certain possibility they are a potential Core Formation seed cultivated by the Sect.

The result being an enemy force’s plant.

When it truly erupts, the destructiveness can be imagined.

It’s said True Master Ling Xiao was furious about this.

He mobilized all forces in the Law Enforcement Hall for a thorough investigation within the Sect.

Especially Foundation Establishment disciples.

They are the key investigation targets.

"I hope none of you disappoint me, don’t give up halfway."

Shen Xuan silently thought.

With True Master Ling Xiao personally taking action.

Shen Xuan didn’t think the plant and its backing influence could come out unscathed.

This is the cultivation realm.

Golden Core True Masters have ways to differentiate the truth in speech.

Indeed.

A few days later, Shen Xuan heard shocking news.

The Spirit Pill Hall’s Hu Xiucheng, the second direct disciple of True Master Changsheng, a Cold Jade Pill formula informant, had suddenly gone missing!
