Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 426: Jade Water Goldenshine

"Senior Uncle Xuan Ku, we encountered disciples from True Intent Sect of Yan Country, Danxia Sect, and Extreme Sword Sect in the Secret Realm."

"Also, disciples from Dominant Blade Sect and Hundred Skills Sect. They seemed prepared and immediately struck to kill upon seeing us."

The disciples from the other six sects reported to their respective sect True Masters with similar situations.

Most people had just entered the Secret Realm and hadn’t had the chance to gather before being pursued by cultivators from Yan Country.

Moreover, the cultivators from Yan Country seemed to have known in advance about the cultivators from Song Country entering.

With greater numbers, they gathered early to hunt down the isolated cultivators from Song Country.

The True Masters present all looked towards True Master Xuan Wen.

Profound Celestial Sect is the leader among the seven sects of Song Country.

True Master Xuan Wen is also the person with the highest realm cultivation here.

"First, count the numbers and aid the wounded. I will report this matter to the Sect Leader."

True Master Xuan Wen spoke in a deep voice.

He still couldn’t determine whether this Ganshui Secret Realm was a trap or a coincidence.

Losing thirty-six disciples after just twenty days inside felt somewhat fruitless.

Fortunately, the disciples of Profound Celestial Sect were personally strong, with only three fallen.

Disciples from the other six sects suffered losses ranging from five to six.

The Cyan Cloud Sect, where Shen Xuan was from, also lost five disciples.

Besides two ordinary disciples, three were direct disciples of True Masters.

This surprised Shen Xuan slightly, as he glanced at the surviving disciple.

Zhuang Xueqin.

An ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator practicing earth techniques.

However, Shen Xuan was not deceived by his appearance.

Being able to emerge from the Ganshui Secret Realm unscathed, he must possess remarkable ability.

The True Masters cast spells to assist their respective sect’s injured disciples.

This time, everyone came to the Secret Realm with high expectations.

Originally hoping to harvest more Golden Transformation Pill materials and Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

But once inside the Secret Realm, they were relentlessly pursued by cultivators from Yan Country, resulting in heavy losses.

To Shen Xuan’s slight surprise, Xu Gaonong was completely unharmed.

"Thanks to Junior Brother Shen’s Thunder Formation Flying Talisman, the cultivators from Extreme Sword Sect recognized its might and dared not overly press us."

Xu Gaonong explained with a cheerful smile.

Shen Xuan asked, "Any gains?"

"Just some worthless trinkets. Being able to save a life is already fortunate."

Xu Gaonong said lightly.

His face showed unconcealable joy.

Shen Xuan knew Xu Gaonong surely had gains, unwilling to elaborate.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xu."

Shen Xuan exchanged pleasantries with Xu Gaonong while inquiring about the gains of other disciples from the Secret Realm.

Xu Gaonong mentioned that he fled the entire way, paying little attention.

No special gains were heard among the Cyan Cloud Sect’s disciples who trained in the Secret Realm.

Instead, disciples from Profound Celestial Sect and Golden Sun Sect successfully slew several high-tier demon beasts.

After True Masters cast spells to heal the disciples from the seven sects.

Shen Xuan approached True Master Cold Jade.

"Master!"

"Hm, I know."

True Master Cold Jade nodded slightly.

"There will be a small True Master trade meeting later, you shall accompany me."

"Yes."

Over four hundred sect disciples had stayed in the Secret Realm for twenty days.

Though time was tight, and they were pursued by cultivators from Yan Country.

They still managed to gain some rewards.

The sects organized unified registration.

The seven sects did not force disciples to hand over everything.

Various rewards, some disciples kept for personal use.

Some were willing to hand over in exchange for sect contribution points.

Others entrusted to sect True Masters to trade for the spiritual objects they needed at the trade meeting.

Two hours later.

True Master Cold Jade took Shen Xuan to participate in the True Master trade meeting with the seven sects and United Commerce Association.

The gains from the Secret Realm were sorted by the sect True Masters and sect-unneeded Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were up for trade.

"A piece of Profound Essence Iron, weighs eight pounds, a Tier Two Top Grade magical treasure material."

"A demon core from Howling Wind Beast, Tier Two Upper Grade, suitable for refining wind attribute Foundation Establishment Pill."

"A Heavenly Clothing Fruit, five hundred years old, Tier Two Upper Grade, can serve as the main material for Life-Extending Pill."

...

One after another, the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from the Secret Realm were laid out seeking equal trades.

If unable to trade for desired spiritual objects, they would be sold to the United Commerce Association.

Shen Xuan silently stood behind True Master Cold Jade.

Even he found this Secret Realm harvest rather unimpressive.

"A Double-headed Flood Dragon Snake, Tier Two Top Grade, the corpse is intact..."

Shen Xuan’s heart stirred.

Currently, he could deploy three corpse beasts.

A Tier Two Top Grade Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile, a Tier Two Upper Grade Thunder Beast, and a Tier Two Middle Grade Shadow Octopus.

All had been enhanced using golden body spirit medicine liquid to boost attack and defense, raising combat capabilities.

However, the Shadow Octopus was too frail as a base.

Unable to keep up with his growth.

In combat, it appeared somewhat redundant.

Shen Xuan transmitted to Cold Jade Master.

"Bring out the Double-headed Flood Dragon Snake for me to see."

True Master Fiery Sun spoke with a slight smile, summoning the Double-headed Flood Dragon Snake.

Ten zhang long, weighing over a thousand jin, both snake heads identical, adorned with vibrant patterns, snake eyes cold.

Shen Xuan used [Sharp-eyed] and [Insight] skills to observe.

The flood dragon snake had seven-inch vital spot hit directly by a cultivator’s flying sword, sliced through the neck and died.

True Master Fiery Sun smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Cold Jade, do you have any Cold Jade Pills?"

"I don’t."

True Master Cold Jade replied coldly.

True Master Fiery Sun’s expression slightly tensed.

These were killed by a group of core disciples from Golden Sun Sect joining forces.

Therefore, one disciple was even seriously injured.

These core disciples entrusted True Master Fiery Sun to trade, openly stating they would trade the item for Core Formation Spiritual Objects or Cold Jade Pill.

Seeing True Master Fiery Sun’s moment of confusion, True Master Cold Jade felt a surge of satisfaction.

"My disciple has one. Shen Xuan!"

"Disciple here."

"Look at this little snake, how many Cold Jade Pills is it worth?"

Shen Xuan calculated in his mind.

His Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile was auctioned off for six hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Converted into Cold Jade Pills, it should be twenty pills.

However, the lineage of the dual-headed Flood Dragon Snake is somewhat stronger than the Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile.

"Respectfully, Master. Cold Jade Pills usually show diminished effects after consuming twenty-four pills."

"This dual-headed Flood Dragon Snake is quite good, and I am willing to trade it for twenty-four Cold Jade Pills."

True Master Fiery Sun said discontentedly, "You brat, why are you so stingy! Don’t underestimate this dual-headed Flood Dragon Snake, it’s the descendant of the fierce beast Nine-Infant."

Shen Xuan was slightly startled in his heart.

He had seen the descendants of Nine-Infant, a Tier Two Upper Grade beast with nine snake heads.

But the dual-headed Flood Dragon Snake before him appeared to possess powerful demon energy, yet it only had two snake heads.

He dared not question and looked towards True Master Cold Jade.

"So what? The Nine-Infant lineage is extremely thin!"

True Master Cold Jade said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Fiery Sun, whether or not to trade twenty-four Cold Jade Pills is up to you!"

"Ah!"

True Master Fiery Sun smiled slightly, ignoring True Master Cold Jade, and said to Shen Xuan, "You are Shen Xuan, the true successor of Fellow Daoist Cold Jade, correct."

"Junior Shen Xuan greets True Master Fiery Sun."

Shen Xuan respectfully saluted.

Before him, True Master Fiery Sun had the appearance of a youthful face but is actually at least three hundred years of age.

Among the True Masters here, he is second only to True Master Xuan Wen, in the Golden Core Middle Stage!

He dared not be disrespectful.

"I’ve observed. This dual-headed Flood Dragon Snake has a fairly dense Nine-Infant lineage. Don’t be fooled by its mere two heads; actually, it can grow new heads as its realm advances."

"Those disciples were lucky to catch it in a weak state during its molting period. Otherwise, slaying this beast wouldn’t be so easy."

Shen Xuan was overjoyed.

It can grow new heads!

That means he can seize the talent skills of the Nine-Infant from its essence blood?

Shen Xuan looked towards True Master Cold Jade, hesitated to speak.

As a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, True Master Fiery Sun explained to him personally, clearly asking him to increase the bid.

In front of the sect’s True Masters and the United Commerce Association’s True Masters, in terms of emotions and logic, Shen Xuan should show face to True Master Fiery Sun.

Otherwise, he would be offending him.

"Speak less of those useless things! Fiery Sun, tell me, how many Cold Jade Pills do you want for the exchange!"

True Master Cold Jade asked.

Though the tone was somewhat aggressive, it actually gave True Master Fiery Sun a way out.

"Thirty-six pills then! I should also give an account to those disciples."

True Master Fiery Sun said musingly.

True Master Cold Jade nodded slightly.

Shen Xuan immediately understood, pointed out thirty-six Cold Jade Pills, placed them in a medicine bottle, and handed them over to True Master Fiery Sun.

True Master Fiery Sun smiled slightly, "Shen Xuan, you are quite good. When you have time, feel free to visit Golden Sun Sect."

"Yes."

Shen Xuan answered respectfully.

Then he placed the dual-headed Flood Dragon Snake into the Beast Bag.

The upcoming Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were of lower grade, not very noteworthy.

A significant portion was priced in Spirit Stones and sold off to the United Commerce Association.

With the small meeting of true masters nearing its end.

Shen Xuan used his divine soul to communicate, reminding True Master Cold Jade.

"I need the Third Tier Water Demon Essence Blood, has any Fellow Daoist got it?"

True Master Cold Jade stepped forward to the center of the trade meeting and asked.

The True Masters present looked at each other.

A True Master chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Cold Jade, the Human Race and Demon Race have been at peace for years, where would the Third Tier Demon King Essence Blood come from!"

"Exactly. Not only do you want it, but so do I!"

Another True Master said.

"I still want the Third Tier Demon King Demon Core for refining spirit pills and breaking through bottlenecks!"

The True Masters laughed heartily.

It was rare to have an opportunity to joke with True Master Cold Jade.

True Master Cold Jade’s face remained stern and expressionless.

Apparently, he had foreseen this.

Due to Shen Xuan’s request, he casually mentioned it.

The Third Tier Demon King is comparable in strength to the True Masters.

Even they would not easily obtain Demon King materials without special reasons.

"Spirit Beasts would also work."

True Master Cold Jade added.

At this moment, True Master Xuan Wen suddenly coughed softly.

This meant he had something to say.

Once everyone quieted down.

True Master Xuan Wen spoke solemnly, "Our sect’s Jade Water Gold-Eyed Beast passed away naturally a few years ago."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

The Jade Water Gold-Eyed Beast of Profound Celestial Sect has the bloodlines of the Divine Dragon and Qilin, resembling a Qilin in appearance but also exhibiting some characteristics of the Divine Dragon—dragon’s mouth, lion’s head, fish scales, bull’s tail, tiger’s claws, deer antlers, capable of soaring clouds and mist, repelling water."

It was the mount of a True Monarch from Profound Celestial Sect years ago.

"Is Fellow Daoist Cold Jade interested?"

The passed-away Third Tier water-attribute Spirit Beast, with Divine Dragon and Qilin blood.

Shen Xuan was obviously interested.

True Master Cold Jade understood Shen Xuan’s intention.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Wen, what do you want in exchange?"

"What does Fellow Daoist Cold Jade have to offer?"

Following True Master Cold Jade’s indication, Shen Xuan brought out a large medicine bottle.

"Here are seventy-two Cold Jade Pills."

This alone is worth a million Spirit Stones.

True Master Xuan Wen remained silent.

Shen Xuan displayed the Top Grade Flying Sword acquired from Lu Zhanpeng.

"A Top Grade water-attribute Flying Sword."

True Master Xuan Wen still remained silent.

Shen Xuan brought out the last set of Thunder Formation Flying Talisman.

"A hundred and eight premium Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talismans."

True Master Xuan Wen’s gaze was sharp as he stared at Shen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Wen, this is about right. After all, it’s just an essence blood, my disciple has already brought out everything he has!"

True Master Cold Jade couldn’t help but say.

What Shen Xuan offered are rare special products among Tier Two spiritual objects, scarcely available in the outside world.

If auctioned, they are valued at two million Spirit Stones.

True Master Xuan Wen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Cold Jade, we both understand clearly. A Third Tier spiritual object naturally requires an equal exchange."

"I heard the remains of Cang Ming True Master’s Spirit-Connected Profound Turtle are in your disciple’s possession."
