"This name sounds good, having culture really makes a difference!"

Shen Wang's eyes lit up, he liked the name and thought it very suitable, saying, "Then it shall be called the Black Obsidian Blade!"

"You're really amazing, the level of this blade matches that of an Artifact Emperor."

Silver Moon marveled; she had a keen eye, having seen many things, and could tell at a glance that Shen Wang's skill was very high.

This man was formidable with arrays, strong in artifact refining, and alarmingly powerful, truly too perfect.

She slightly suspected that this man was a reincarnation of a powerful being.

"I might still be lacking a bit, as long as it's useful."

Shen Wang smiled, his fingers traced along the blade, carving out the characters for Black Shine,

this was his reserved technique to leave a name.

He said to Silver Moon, "Have you finished the elixirs? If you have, take another bottle."

"No rush, still half a bottle left, enough for half a month."

Silver Moon smiled.

"You've advanced a small realm in cultivation, so your consumption will be much greater, take this bottle first."

Shen Wang handed Silver Moon a bottle of elixirs directly.

Silver Moon did not refuse again, after accepting it, she thought of something and said, "Husband, let me tell you about a strange thing."

"What is it?"

Shen Wang had been helping Silver Moon stabilize, then went to refine the Black Obsidian Blade and hadn't been outside much, unaware of the situation.

"There's something odd with the woman next door."

Silver Moon said, "She seems to disguise herself as different people every day like me to do something."

"Oh, such things happen, could it be we've encountered a kindred spirit?"

Shen Wang was instantly interested.

"Yes, I've seen a few people outside, they all feel like her, but I don't know why she's doing it."

Silver Moon didn't quite understand: "Surely it can't be like us, handling various resources stealthily?"

"Since they're next to us, let's investigate, can't leave hidden dangers."

Shen Wang took it seriously, if they were far away, he wouldn't bother, but being so close, he had to be careful.

He concealed his thoughts in spiritual power to investigate the surroundings, arriving next door, but was blocked by an array.

Shen Wang said, "I'll go out for a stroll."

He put away the Black Obsidian and went outside.

Here, the courtyards are mostly just a street apart, Shen Wang pretended to pass by, secretly tampering with its array, leaving a channel for covert investigation.

He didn't rush back, strolled around a commercial street, stopped at a market stall.

The vendor looked sly, his eyes seemed to be constantly moving, looking astute.

Seeing Shen Wang approaching, he smiled and said, "Last bits of goods, if you want, I can give you a discount."

"You have quite a lot of beast hides."

Shen Wang's gaze fell on the stall, full of miscellaneous items, but beast hides were the most abundant.

"I primarily sell beast hides, of superior quality, fellow friend can buy some to make magical robes or magic boots, or for making talismans."

The vendor praised his own goods: "I can guarantee that these hides are definitely better than the ones in shops."

Shen Wang picked up a wolf hide and felt it, it was demon beast hide.

This type of hide can indeed be used to make talismans, more durable than ordinary talisman paper, mostly used for mid to high-level talismans.

Because when it comes to top-grade magic talismans, the power contained becomes stronger, and ordinary paper made from grass and wood isn't tough enough to withstand the power.

Of course, this kind of demon beast skin also needs special refining to remove blood and flesh impurities to be used.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

The vendor asked.

"It's okay, I'll buy two pieces, how much?"

Shen Wang said expressionlessly.

"Four hundred, or two bottles of middle grade Dharma pills of the same value."

"Too expensive."

Shen Wang shook his head.

"It's really not expensive, two hides let you make a hundred sheets of grade-entering talisman paper, you'll profit hugely."

The vendor shook his head: "You go ask any store, entry level magical talisman paper is ten spirit stones per sheet, even if you spend time making them, it's enough profit for you."

"This is a bottle of middle-grade Dharma pills for cultivation enhancement, you can take it for the trade."

Shen Wang took out a bottle, an elixir he couldn't use.

The vendor frowned, reluctantly said, "If it weren't for the fact that I have to pack up today, I wouldn't sell at a loss."

Though he said this, he swiftly took Shen Wang's elixir.

Shen Wang said nothing, took the beast hides and left.

After walking a few steps, Shen Wang's eyes turned slightly cold, putting away the beast hides without saying a word, returned calmly.

Back home, Silver Moon noticed his return, saying, "How did it go?"

"I'll investigate the situation soon, I found something interesting on my stroll."

Shen Wang didn't keep her guessing, took out the beast hides and said, "There was actually a demon selling beast hides."

"A demon!"

Silver Moon was shocked: "Demons have already infiltrated here?"

Shen Wang's expression was strange: "I'm not sure if they're hidden, but selling beast hides like us humans selling human skin is certainly unexpected."

"Demons don't have as many human-like concepts, probably selling hides for elixirs and spirit stones to consume."

Silver Moon thought for a moment and said, "But he's really bold, this place is filled with cultivators, and he's not afraid of being discovered."

"Daring to come here, he must have some confidence in not being easily discovered."

Shen Wang mused, thinking about how many more demons this fellow had, fearing the consequences, that's why he didn't expose them.

"Wasn't it found by you after all."

Silver Moon teased, "Why didn't you take action?"

"A single demon wouldn't dare to be so bold, he must have some powerful backing."

Shen Wang replied, "No need to look for trouble."

"Husband is thoughtful, that's definitely possible, and highly likely."

Silver Moon nodded, "Should we let others deal with it? These guys sneaking in definitely pose a threat."

The Human Race and Demon Race are generally opposed, living here makes it impossible to ignore.

"This matter requires careful consideration; I'll explore their background first, lest we provoke unnecessary trouble."

Shen Wang did not refuse, neither did he rush to act; the matter did not significantly benefit or harm him.

"Before that, I'll first investigate the neighbor next door."

Shen Wang sat down, formed a seal with his hands, and his sensing power flowed through the opened channel silently into the neighboring courtyard.

What he detected first left him surprised.

What he felt was actually a pile of beast hides.

Various items piled in the room, including snakeskins, making a rather extensive collection.

With surprise, he continued to extend his sensing power.

He was surprised again; he discovered various magical artifacts, talismans, refining materials; these things were still messy, just piled together, not carefully categorized.

"This scene, it looks like the spoils of some looting."

Shen Wang murmured.

"Husband, have you found something?"

Seeing his expression, Silver Moon looked curious.

"You said the neighbor disguised as different people to sell things, now perhaps I've found the reason. They also have a large amount of cultivation resources, feels like it was robbed from somewhere, quite similar to us."

Shen Wang's expression was strange: "Is it such a coincidence? We actually encountered like-minded people?"

While speaking, his sensing power found a cat guarding the room, and the latter seemed to have noticed, looking up.

Shen Wang promptly withdrew his force to avoid arousing suspicion.

"Oh, there's a demon beast next door."

Silver Moon heard and asked, "It should be the neighbor's pet, right?"

"Doesn't seem like it; this creature's senses are quite sharp, almost discovered me."

Shen Wang changed his dharma seal, switched to a different sensing power, no longer using the original water spiritual power, instead opting for the more concealed Yin Yang Power.

The advantage of multiple attributes is that he just needs to use one that the other party is not sensitive to, to conduct a very hidden investigation.

For example, for those sensitive to water spiritual power, he can use other wood or gold attributes, for those sensitive to Yin attribute, he can use earth attribute.

Besides embedding in the Power of Heaven and Earth, his thoughts can also merge into corresponding attribute objects, like plants and earth, or even furniture in the room at the moment.
