Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 462: Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea
Looking at the Sea Dragon Girl with a serious expression.
Shen Xuan smiled.
He knew this would be the result.
People like the Sea Dragon Girl, who grew up in the open sea, are surrounded by tribulation cultivators and evil cultivators, with clear loves and hates.
However you treat her, whether you want to take advantage of her or genuinely consider her a friend.
The Sea Dragon Girl is aware.
If you’re only getting close to her because of the Sea Dragon King and scheming against her.
She will immediately withdraw, cutting ties and becoming strangers.
If you persist, she will turn ruthless.
"Dragon Girl, don’t be impatient."
Shen Xuan pinched a spell.
A pill furnace, completely azure with cloud patterns on the surface like thousands of divine dragons swirling, flew in front of the Sea Dragon Girl.
It was his Tier Two Upper Grade Water Technique Pill Furnace, the Myriad Dragon Profound Water Furnace.
"Dragon Girl, take a look."
"Is this a pill furnace?"
The Sea Dragon Girl was dumbfounded.
She looked up at Shen Xuan in disbelief.
"A Tier Two Water Technique Pill Furnace? Are you a Water Technique Alchemist?"
Shen Xuan slowly nodded.
"Then can you refine a True Spirit Pill?"
Shen Xuan glanced at the Sea Dragon Girl with disdain.
"I see! Zheng Ziyi’s alchemy skills improved greatly because of your guidance!"
"You’re skilled in both alchemy and talismans!"
The Sea Dragon Girl’s voice was clearly excited.
"Shen Fei, you can refine a True Essence Pill, right?"
Shen Xuan smiled mockingly.
"Why that expression? Could it be, you can also refine an Essence Stabilizing Pill?"
The Sea Dragon Girl closely watched Shen Xuan’s face.
Shen Xuan smiled without speaking.
The Essence Stabilizing Pill is a Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Pill that late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators can use to offset seven or eight days of hard cultivation.
In the Starry Sea, no alchemist can stably refine the Essence Stabilizing Pill.
Zheng Ziyi being able to refine the True Essence Pill is already quite remarkable.
He’s smug about it.
"No, just the Essence Stabilizing Pill isn’t enough!"
The Sea Dragon Girl gently touched the Myriad Dragon Profound Water Furnace, her clear eyes gradually lighting up.
With a bit of anticipation, she softly asked, "Shen Fei, can you refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Shen Xuan nodded slightly.
"Ah!"
The Sea Dragon Girl first let out a cry of surprise.
Then she joyfully said, "That’s great!"
"Shen Fei, you really can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill? Each furnace produces one qualified Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"No!"
Shen Xuan finally spoke.
In the Sea Dragon Girl’s face of astonishment, he casually said, "In most cases, I produce two pills per furnace."
In truth, Shen Xuan’s actual Foundation Establishment Pill skill is producing three pills per furnace!
Never reveal your entire hand.
Shen Xuan is accustomed to leaving some leeway in his words and actions.
...
Shen Xuan still underestimated the status of a high-tier alchemist in the Starry Sea.
Throughout the Starry Sea, no alchemist can stably refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Hearing that Shen Xuan was a Tier Two Upper Grade Alchemist, and one that could refine Foundation Establishment Pills...
The Sea Dragon Girl immediately broke her calm.
She turned from cloudy to sunny and clung to Shen Xuan, wanting to apprentice under him and learn alchemy.
"Let your grandfather come see me first!"
Shen Xuan said irritably.
"No problem! I’ll bring my grandfather to see you in three days."
"Remember, keep your identity hidden, and don’t let the Chen Family of Divine Dragon Island find out."
"Got it!"
The Sea Dragon Girl said casually.
"Shen Fei, do I have the potential to become an alchemist?"
"After I’ve met your grandfather, I’ll test it for you."
Shen Xuan carefully considered his collaboration with the Sea Dragon King.
Throughout the Starry Sea, the Sea Dragon King is the strongest, with the largest trade volume.
By having him procure medicinal materials and sell spirit pills, it’s the safest and most discreet method.
Far superior to the Wei Family of Lion King Island.
Moreover, the Sea Dragon King’s identity is definitely not just a pirate leader.
He has connections with many coastal cultivation forces and even sects of various major countries.
His partnership is exclusively with the Sea Dragon King and the Sea Dragon Girl.
It’s estimated that, in the later stage, it may be just Mu Ling’Er and Bai Xiaomeng.
Besides them, no one else would know.
The safety aspect is still somewhat guaranteed.
Foundation Establishment Pills in the cultivation world are hard currency more precious than Spirit Stones.
Many small to medium cultivation influences in the Starry Sea can’t obtain them, even if they have Spirit Stones.
There’s simply no worry about sales.
Moreover, for Shen Xuan...
The Foundation Establishment Pill is just the beginning.
Cold Jade Pill, Life Extension Pill, Life-Extending Pill, he intends to refine them all!
...
Three days later.
The Sea Dragon Girl visited again.
Accompanied by an old guard.
It was none other than the disguised Fake Pill True Master, the Sea Dragon King.
Shen Xuan had the Sea Dragon Girl wait in the living room, with Bai Xiaomeng to accompany her.
They had a private meeting in the secret room.
"Master Shen, you’re hiding your talents well! I admire that!"
The Sea Dragon King took a sip of Spirit Tea and said with a smile.
Shen Xuan quietly observed him.
With a bronze complexion, a tall and strong build, a weathered face, still full of vigor, and a loud voice.
The aura he exuded was comparable to the Fake Pill True Master, Xiao Jinsong.
"I heard from the Dragon Girl that Master Shen wants to collaborate with me in alchemy!"
"I love working with young talents like yourself!"
"Master Shen, tell me, how should we cooperate?"
Shen Xuan nodded.
"Firstly, I don’t want anyone other than you and the Dragon Girl to know about my identity as an alchemist."
"No problem. I guarantee complete confidentiality on my side."
"Secondly, details of alchemy matters will be decided by me. You must not interfere."
The Sea Dragon King hesitated briefly.
Ultimately, he stated, "Agreed. I never compel my partners."
"Finally, in our alchemy cooperation, you will be responsible for procuring medicinal materials and selling spirit pills. The profits will be split seventy-thirty."
The Sea Dragon King laughed, "Master Shen, straightforward! For the Dragon Girl’s sake, I’ll give you thirty percent!"
Shen Xuan shook his head lightly.
"Fellow Haidao, I meant you take thirty percent."
The Sea Dragon King’s smile froze instantly.
Soon, his face turned gloomy.
The powerful pressure of the Fake Pill True Master filled the air.
"What does Shen Talisman Master mean?"
It was only now that he realized Shen Xuan had always addressed him as "Daoist friend."
This does not align with the hierarchical etiquette of the Cultivation Realm.
Unless...
The pupils of the Sea Dragon King rapidly contracted.
His entire aura abruptly changed.
From a hearty uncle to a chilling assassin.
Ready to strike at any moment.
"Daoist Hai, do not be tense."
Shen Xuan stood up and walked to the center of the secret chamber.
"If my guess is correct, Daoist Hai also practices Body Refining Technique."
"Indeed!"
The Sea Dragon King said in a deep voice.
As the pirate leader of Star Sea, an extremely formidable flesh body is very necessary.
"I wonder if Daoist Hai has heard of, above the Golden Body, the True Spirit Dharma Aspect?"
Looking at the shocked face of the Sea Dragon King.
Shen Xuan spoke casually, "To be honest, I also practice the Body Refining Technique. A few days ago, I had a feeling and luckily condensed the True Spirit Dharma Aspect."
"I hope Daoist Hai can give me some guidance."
After speaking, Shen Xuan smiled slightly.
The aura changed with it.
Behind his body, clouds and mists suddenly appeared, condensing and gathering into a cyan Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect!
Like his shadow, it moved synchronously with him.
"Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect!"
The Sea Dragon King looked at the Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect behind Shen Xuan, as if dreaming.
He has the surname Hai and is named after Dragon King.
Yet it’s the first time he has seen the Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect.
"So, this is what the Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect looks like!"
The Sea Dragon King muttered to himself, somewhat lost.
Shen Xuan retracted the Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect and calmly walked back to his seat.
This time, he made some reservations.
The Golden Body, Celestial Armor, Wishful Size, Thousand Transformations, none were displayed.
No need.
Revealing the Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect.
Was already enough for the Sea Dragon King.
Shen Xuan only needed to let the Sea Dragon King know that his Body Refining Realm Cultivation had reached Tier Three.
As the Sea Dragon King couldn’t control him, that was enough.
Human nature cannot withstand testing.
Having strength ensures safety.
The Sea Dragon King has roamed Star Sea for two hundred years, becoming a pirate leader, certainly isn’t foolish.
With a little thought, he had the answer in his heart.
A talented cultivator who comprehends Ice Technique, practices Talisman Dao, Alchemy Dao, and achieves True Spirit Dharma Aspect has a foundation that’s definitely not simple.
Impossible to be an obscure loose cultivator.
The combat power Shen Xuan revealed is not inferior to his.
Finding him to cooperate in alchemy and share 30% of the profit, is very reasonable.
Because Shen Xuan is the irreplaceable party.
Next, the two discussed details, and the Sea Dragon King was quite courteous.
Learning that Shen Xuan guarantees to refine two Foundation Establishment Pills from each batch of materials.
The Sea Dragon King no longer hesitated, agreeing to cooperate.
Shen Xuan presented a list of spirit medicine.
Eloquently detailed, totaling hundreds of flavors.
Among them, dozens of key spirit medicines were specially marked.
These are the main ingredients of Cold Jade Pill, Life Extension Pill, and Life-Extending Pill.
Shen Xuan asks the Sea Dragon King to acquire as many as possible.
The cost to be deducted from the profit from selling Foundation Establishment Pills.
If insufficient, he would pay in Spirit Stones.
The Sea Dragon King received the list, secretly amazed at the names and ages of the spirit medicines.
Guessing that Shen Xuan would surely refine other high-tier spirit pills.
Shen Xuan sought cooperation to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.
Which was not unrelated to his large trade volume, many trade partners, and numerous subordinates.
"One more thing, Daoist Hai, when selling Foundation Establishment Pills externally, be very cautious with all sects, try to sell to small and medium Cultivation Influences."
"This way, not only can the price be slightly higher, but safety can also be guaranteed."
The Sea Dragon King chuckled.
"Rest assured, Shen Talisman Master. Hai has it in mind."
Both are clever individuals, Shen Xuan only needed to hint.
The two agreed on cooperation details in alchemy and pledged Heavenly Dao vows not to betray each other.
"Oh yes, Daoist Hai, the Dragon Girl wants me to impart the Alchemy Dao to her."
"Oh. What does Shen Talisman Master think?"
The Sea Dragon King asked calmly.
"My Alchemy Dao is not sect inheritance. Passing it to the Dragon Girl is not a problem."
"Her future depends on her fortune."
Shen Xuan contemplated and said, "However, if she comes too frequently, it may cause gossip and attract attention."
After all, neither has married, often gathering, it’s easy to cause rumors.
Moreover, the Sea Dragon Girl’s identity is there.
No matter her actions, they will be linked to the Sea Dragon King.
"How about this."
"The Dragon Girl learns talismans as a reason to visit Spring Breeze Island. The relationship between her and me is publicly recognized as sibling, what does Daoist Hai think?"
The Sea Dragon King was initially startled, then overjoyed.
"That would be imposing on Shen Talisman Master!"
Shen Xuan waved his hand: "No problem. In the future, I will have to rely on Daoist Hai’s prestige to intimidate the small."
"I am here to avoid disaster, unless absolutely necessary, I cannot act."
The Sea Dragon King laughed, "Shen Talisman Master is too kind!"
Having learned of Shen Xuan’s concerns.
The Sea Dragon King felt even more reassured.
In the Star Sea, he still has quite the confidence.
Even the Core Formation True Masters of the five sects in Yan Country must give him some face.
Shen Xuan instructed the Dragon Girl in cultivating Ice Technique and taught her ice talisman skills.
Now, he is even willing to impart alchemy skills.
Just for this, he must protect Shen Xuan’s safety.
At this moment, he does not know.
Shen Xuan’s actual combat power far exceeds his own.
In the environment of the East Sea.
Even if Core Formation True Masters of the five sects in Yan Country come in person, Shen Xuan is not afraid.
He simply wishes to avoid trouble.
Not genuinely afraid of those insignificant.
Furthermore, Shen Xuan and the Sea Dragon King’s collaboration has another advantage.
It allows for timely acquisition of intelligence from the high-levels of sects in Yan and Song Countries.
During the imminent sect war between Yan and Song, this point is particularly crucial.
As for imparting Ice Technique, Talisman Dao, and the Alchemy Dao to the Dragon Girl.
Shen Xuan does not hold it in high regard.
Without resources and Talent, even with his teachings, future achievements will be limited.
With the Sea Dragon Girl’s aptitude, it would be fortunate to condense a Fake Pill in the future.
The possibility of condensing a True Pill is very low.
In cultivating, the Sea Dragon Girl’s conditions are actually not as good as Mu Ling’Er.
If the Mu Family is willing to support, Mu Ling’Er condensing a Fake Pill is a certainty.
A True Pill is also somewhat possible.
