Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 427: Celestial Gold Battle Armor

Shen Xuan suddenly understood.

No wonder True Master Xuan Wen was willing to offer the Essence Blood of the Wall Water Golden-eyed Beast.

Turns out, he wanted to trade for the remains of the Psychic Mystic Turtle.

These old foxes, each one craftier than the last, none of them are easy to deal with.

Cold Jade Pill, Top Grade Flying Sword, Thunder Formation Flying Talisman—these are special spiritual objects in the eyes of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but to a True Master, they are merely slightly valuable trinkets.

They have no use for them.

Only Tier Three Spiritual Objects are genuinely valuable treasures in their eyes.

True Master Cold Jade pondered and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Wen, the Psychic Mystic Turtle remains of True Master Cang Ming are indeed with my disciple. However, using the Essence Blood of the Wall Water Golden-eyed Beast as a trade is somewhat of a loss."

Generally speaking, the corpse of a Tier Three Demon King has the Demon Core as the most valuable, followed by important parts, then Demon Beast Meat, and lastly the Essence Blood.

True Master Xuan Wen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Cold Jade, trading for Tier Three Spiritual Objects has always been this way."

"How about this, I’ll add a Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman. This is a Tier Three special spirit talisman, capable of pinpoint teleportation. It can save his life at a critical moment."

True Master Cold Jade and Shen Xuan discussed it over.

Upon learning that the Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman could achieve pinpoint teleportation within ten thousand miles, Shen Xuan gladly accepted it.

Though the remains of the Psychic Mystic Turtle are good, he has no use for them now.

After refining it, to shape it into a defensive spiritual artifact, who knows how long he’d have to wait.

Moreover, he already has a Spiritual Artifact Spirit Embryo, the Purple Gold True Water Seal, which is both offensive and defensive and can be driven for a few breaths, nourished within his Dantian.

The Essence Blood of the Wall Water Golden-eyed Beast is exactly what he urgently needs.

It can not only provide a great deal of Dao Rhyme.

But may also break his Water Spirit Root Talent up to 90 points, reaching the Immortal Spirit Root standard.

This way, his cultivation efficiency and effectiveness would see some improvement.

More critically, it would evidently augment his attempt to form a Core.

The Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman is a Tier Three life-saving spirit talisman.

The materials used are precious, making talisman creation extremely difficult.

It is said that at least a Tier Three Upper Grade Talisman Master is required to create it.

It is exceedingly rare in the entire Song Country.

Even if there’s a slight value difference, Shen Xuan was willing to trade.

True Master Cold Jade completed the trade with True Master Xuan Wen on Shen Xuan’s behalf.

Shen Xuan carefully stored away the Essence Blood of the Wall Water Golden-eyed Beast and the Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman.

At this moment, someone lightly coughed again.

The crowd looked over.

It was True Master Fiery Sun.

"Shen Xuan, hold on a minute."

"I have quite an interest in those little trinkets of yours."

Shen Xuan was momentarily startled.

"I don’t have the Essence Blood of the Tier Three Water Demon."

True Master Fiery Sun smiled slightly and took out seven transparent Jade Boxes.

"These are some of my collections, take a look and see if there’s anything you fancy."

Shen Xuan looked at True Master Cold Jade for help.

Needless to say, the seven Jade Boxes were filled with precious Spiritual Objects.

But he might not recognize them.

True Master Cold Jade glanced at the seven Jade Boxes.

"Shen Xuan, choose any one you like. Regardless of your choice, you won’t lose out."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan felt relieved.

The treasures taken out by True Master Fiery Sun were all Tier Three and above.

Otherwise, True Master Cold Jade wouldn’t have said that.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Xuan looked through each one.

The seven Jade Boxes included a fiercely cold Flying Sword, a crimson Spirit Pill with eight Dao Patterns, a mysteriously brilliant Array Flag, and the main medicinal ingredients for the Golden Transformation Pill.

Among them, one Jade Box contained an ancient Spirit Talisman identical to the Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman he just traded for.

Shen Xuan’s gaze vacillated between a Spirit Egg and a set of Golden Armor.

According to the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique, the Spirit Egg pulsed with vibrant vitality, full of Water Spiritual Qi; inside seemed to be a curled-up little Flood Dragon Snake.

A Spirit Egg collected by True Master Fiery Sun must be of extraordinary rank.

Shen Xuan thought it over repeatedly in his heart.

Ultimately, he gave up on the Spirit Egg.

Cultivating it would take too much time.

The growth of a Spirit Beast is much slower than that of a Human Race Cultivator.

Not to mention that Spirit Beast breakthroughs are extremely difficult, requiring particularly precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Such growth timelines could take three to five hundred years to break through to Tier Three.

Shen Xuan simply couldn’t afford the wait.

"True Master Fiery Sun, I wish to ask, what treasure is this Golden Armor?"

True Master Fiery Sun revealed a slight smile, "This is the Immortal Gold Battle Armor, specifically for Body Refining Masters of the Dharma Realm. Its materials are various precious Golden Essence Spiritual Objects, melded and forged together to greatly enhance defense capability."

Shen Xuan’s heart was stirred.

"I heard that many Body Refiners of the Dharma Realm can enlarge their bodies and form a Dharma Aspect. So, can this Immortal Gold Battle Armor change size as well?"

"Once refined, it can vary in size along with its owner. Would otherwise a Body Refiner tear this armor apart?"

Shen Xuan no longer hesitated.

He handed over Cold Jade Pill, Top Grade Flying Sword, and Thunder Formation Flying Talisman to True Master Fiery Sun all at once.

"I choose this Immortal Gold Battle Armor."

If True Master Fiery Sun’s words proved accurate.

Wearing this armor, his body’s defense would greatly increase post-transformation.

Even facing a Fake Pill True Master from the sect, he’d have confidence in relying on his sturdy flesh to escape unscathed.

"Good!"

True Master Fiery Sun stowed away the remaining Jade Boxes.

The subsequent transactions had nothing to do with Shen Xuan.

He was now empty-handed.

Left only with the life-saving Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman and some Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branches.

The Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman could not be taken out for trade.

The Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branches had no reason to be taken out.

This expedition to the Gan Shui Secret Realm left Shen Xuan with ample harvest.

The Essence Blood of the Wall Water Golden-eyed Beast, Immortal Gold Battle Armor, Mystic Wind Teleportation Talisman, a complete two-headed Flood Dragon Snake corpse, and an eight-hundred-year-old Purple Blood Ice Ganoderma.

After the small True Master trade fair concluded,

disciples from each sect were organized to return to their sects aboard the Sect’s Spaceship.

Before leaving, Zhuo Qingning from the United Commerce Association sent a voice transmission to Shen Xuan: "Fellow Daoist Shen, in half a year, I will visit the Cyan Cloud Sect to discuss the matter of Foundation Establishment Pill materials in detail."

Previously, Zhuo Qingning had discussed the intention with him.

Shen Xuan asked him to prepare more Foundation Establishment Pill materials.

Zhuo Qingning wished to use Foundation Establishment Pills to settle the debt.

Shen Xuan didn’t resist this.

Business is business.

His relationship with Zhuo Qingning was one of a business partnership, a fair trade.

Of course, he wanted to maximize the benefits.

However, Shen Xuan hadn’t yet started refining Foundation Establishment Pills, the success rate remained unknown.

Zhuo Qingning was uncertain.

This expedition to the Gan Shui Secret Realm resulted in losses for all seven sects.

The Profound Celestial Sect originally planned to use this Secret Realm as a favor to win over elite disciples from six sects.

Unexpectedly, their cleverness backfired, inciting suspicion among the six sects’ elite disciples instead.

True Master Xuan Wen wants to report this matter to the Sect Leader.

Seeking a remedy after the fact.

This has nothing to do with Shen Xuan.

At this moment, he is sitting on the Sect’s Spaceship, eyes closed, resting.

Beside him is Xu Gaonong, grinning foolishly.

His master is Chang Chun True Master, ranking near the bottom among the eighteen True Masters.

Xu Gaonong himself is a Spirit Plant Master.

Even if he can condense the Inner Core, his future status might be similar to his master, Chang Chun True Master.

Last in True Master rankings.

He is quite willing to stay with Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan’s age and Realm are both lower than his, and he treats him politely.

"Junior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Zhang is coming!"

Shen Xuan opens his eyes.

In his line of sight, the Direct Disciple of Mysterious Trace True Master, Zhang Xingyuan, comes with a smile.

"Junior Brother Shen, my apologies. There has been a change in the Secret Realm of Ganshui, and the Thunder Spirit Pearl and Thunder Talisman have been used by Zhang."

Shen Xuan had already anticipated this.

"How about this, a hundred thousand Spirit Stones should be enough for Zhang to purchase the Thunder Spirit Pearl and Thunder Talisman. Is that sufficient?"

Shen Xuan laughed and said, "It is enough."

He takes out a small External Incarnation from his Storage Pouch and returns it to Zhang Xingyuan.

Initially, Shen Xuan didn’t plan to sell it directly.

However, he couldn’t ignore the camaraderie of fellow sect members.

These Golden Core Inheritors are soon going to attempt Core Formation.

Shen Xuan definitely wants to maintain some goodwill for future interactions.

Zhang Xingyuan started it.

Subsequently, disciples of Hidden Image True Master, Lu Xinbao, disciples of Celestial Wind True Master, Ye Lingfeng, and disciples of True Master Chong Xu, Liu Yingtie, came one by one, returning the spiritual objects they had mortgaged to Shen Xuan for a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Shen Xuan returned them all with a smile, without any reluctance.

In the end, even He Zhengming came by, thick-skinned, smiling, and left a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

This one didn’t even have a mortgaged item.

All the mortgaged spiritual objects were returned to their original owners.

Only Xu Gaonong was left.

He explained with a silly smile: "Junior Brother Shen, about the Thunder Array Flying Talisman..."

"Did you also use it?"

"No, I didn’t."

Xu Gaonong stammered: "Junior Brother Shen, I will give you the hundred thousand Spirit Stones after we return."

Shen Xuan gave him a look of disapproval.

"Forget it."

"Ah!"

"Shen has something to ask Senior Brother Xu for help."

"Junior Brother Shen, just say it! If I can help, Xu will do so without hesitation!"

Xu Gaonong patted his chest soundly.

Shen Xuan asked, "Do you have any Yellow Crystal Divine Earth?"

Xu Gaonong paused and slowly shook his head.

"Can you obtain some?"

"I can. However, the quantity may not be much. The quality might be average."

Xu Gaonong said.

"No problem. Senior Brother Xu, please help me make the connections."

"Alright!"

The two discussed it.

It turns out, several Direct Disciples of Chang Chun True Master have cultivated Yellow Crystal Divine Earth.

As long as Shen Xuan is willing to offer the Cold Jade Pill, he could trade for some.

As for the Inheritance Jade Scroll from the Demon Sect’s cultivation technique.

Xu Gaonong didn’t even dare to bring it up.

He had already received Shen Xuan’s top-grade Thunder Array Flying Talisman.

To ask for that Demon Sect inheritance, that would be too inconsiderate.

All considered, he gained greatly from this transaction.

That was Xu Gaonong’s perspective. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

In fact, Shen Xuan had no intention of returning that Demon Sect inheritance.

Though the techniques inside are evil and vicious.

However, sometimes, they’re very useful.

Shen Xuan plans to return and study it well.

Perhaps he can select a few useful secret techniques from the Demon Sect for use in spirit medicine cultivation.

Ten days later, the Sect’s Spaceship returned to the Sect.

After taking a bath, Shen Xuan went alone to the practice room to reflect.

The decision not to participate in the Secret Realm exploration at Ganshui was a wise one.

Unknown territories cannot be deduced with common sense.

Unexpected situations can easily arise.

Shen Xuan thought to himself, in a one-on-one, he’s not afraid of any Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

But in the Ganshui Secret Realm, when everyone crowds in, using all their tricks.

No one would face him in a one-on-one magical combat.

Between cultivators, once they make a move, it’s a matter of life and death.

"Luckily, I have my master protecting me!"

All the way, he stood by True Master Cold Jade’s side.

True Master Xuan Wen of the Profound Celestial Sect mentioned the Divine Turtle Remains and even prepared Essence Blood of the Bi Shui Golden-Eyed Beast, clearly being well-prepared.

"So, am I now registered with the true masters of the Profound Celestial Sect as well?"

Thinking about it, the Profound Celestial Sect is the top sect of Song Country.

The hidden contacts within Cyan Cloud Sect, associated with the Profound Celestial Sect, outnumber those linked to the Medicine God Valley.

Among the eighteen true masters of the sect, there are definitely those close to the Profound Celestial Sect.

"Going forward, I must act with caution."

Shen Xuan dislikes interacting with true masters.

It gives him a sense of helplessness about controlling his own destiny.

Despite having various means of protection.

In front of sect true masters, he is still but a tiny ant.

Even escaping with his life is a luxury.

"I should lie low, hopefully enough to reach Core Formation."

Shen Xuan estimates that in sixty years, he might be able to attempt Core Formation.

With his Tier Two Top Grade Pill Master skills, along with the support from True Master Cold Jade and True Master Gu Feng.

In the battle between the Dao and Demons of Song and Liang, if he performs well, the sect will likely reward him with a Golden Transformation Pill.

With his current Dao Foundation quality, physical strength, and power of the Divine Soul, barring any accidents, condensing the Inner Core is guaranteed.

If luck is a bit better, there’s a chance of forming a Supreme Golden Core.

By then, in Cyan Cloud Sect, he would be the second True Master Ling Xiao.

Below the Golden Core True Masters of the Inner Peak, the leading True Master of the Outer Peak.

Shen Xuan thought happily.

He took out some Essence Blood of the Twin-Headed Flood Dragon Snake.

"Let’s see how my luck is!"
