"Friend, I would like to boldly ask, what category does this Demon King-level poison belong to?"

After Wang Wu casually tossed the small gourd to Snake Flower, he cautiously asked.

"Paralyzing poison, extracted from a Sixth-Grade Demon Vine. Be careful when using it. With your power, just a drop is enough to probably take you down."

Wang Wu said casually.

"Paralyzing poison?"

Snake Flower's face lit up with joy again. The paralyzing poison was one of the most welcomed poisons among the West Wilderness Demon Race, not because it was less lethal, but because it paralyzed quickly and took effect fast.

A slight delay in battle could be the turning point between life and death.

Especially when it was Demon King-level.

However, Snake Flower cautiously unscrewed the gourd cap, extended its thin snake tongue, and carefully sniffed outside. It was already a Fifth-Grade Snake Demon, capable of some identification.

The next second, its body shook, it quickly tightened the cap, and its face changed!

"So strong! Truly Demon King-level. Friend, no, senior, thank you very much. Here are the deeds to these two caves, with your name on them; this can essentially represent your identity. Additionally, tomorrow morning, I have a generous gift for you. Please stay, I take my leave!"

Snake Flower left joyously.

Wang Wu found it amusing. So he's a senior now? Just a few drops of paralyzing poison, and you're already so impressed?

However, he didn't know that after leaving in haste, Snake Flower soon slipped into an inconspicuous cave, where the human elder Lv Dongyang was already waiting with a smile.

"Master, I obtained this poison. Please appraise it."

Surprisingly, Snake Flower performed a kneeling ritual before handing over the small gourd.

Lv Dongyang took the gourd, gently loosened the cap, and placed a silver thread inside for a moment. Soon, an ink-green spiritual light appeared on the silver thread, as if alive.

"Oh! Such pure paralyzing poison!"

The originally calm Lv Dongyang was a bit surprised, "This purity is almost on par with the Ten Thousand Poison Sect's poisoning techniques. Not bad, not bad, this is good stuff. It seems it truly is a fugitive demon from the front lines, showing earnestness!"

"Master, in that case, do we still need to—"

Snake Flower gave a vicious look.

Lv Dongyang shook his head, "No need. This is most likely a coincidence. To skillfully control paralyzing poison and also wield the Enchanting Heart Demon Technique, it must at least be a Fourth-Grade Great Demon. It's illogical for a Fourth-Grade Great Demon to scheme against you, a Fifth-Grade Little Demon."

"However, I guess it's not of Ancient Blood. The Ancient Blood Demon Race has many businesses here; they wouldn't be this destitute. So, it likely rose from the Mortal Blood Demon Race. Such demons who climb up from the bottom are the most terrifying but also the most isolated and unsupported. In any case, since it's not targeting you, don't provoke it."

"As the saying goes, desperate and vicious is what it is. It has fallen to such a state; if cornered, it could resort to anything."

"Got it, Master."

"You may go!"

Lv Dongyang nodded, returning the gourd to Snake Flower.

After Snake Flower left, he pondered in silence for a long time before shaking a small Little Tree Spirit out of his sleeve, identical to a normal one but with a small red string tied around its neck.

"Go and take a look over there, but be careful. It is most likely a Fourth-Grade Demon King."

Having said so, Lv Dongyang carefully affixed a small talisman on the Little Tree Spirit, and in an instant, it disappeared.

——

On Wang Wu's side, he was receiving the second cave. In fact, the demons residing here had moved out this morning, leaving only the spirit plants in the spirit field.

This was a Spirit Fruit Tree of the Eighth Grade, along with three bushes of berries. This appeared to be the most cost-effective setup.

Wang Wu first familiarized himself with the spirit field array's operation. It was simple enough; just inject spiritual qi directly into a grindstone-like object to maintain the spirit field array. He tried it out; about 100 points of spiritual qi were needed to fill it, and it would consume about one point daily.

From this point of view, it's quite cost-effective.

"Next, I can attempt to learn alchemy, but there's no rush. I must still be cautious!"

Wang Wu was very cautious. He needed to guard not only against Snake Flower but also against the human cultivator Lv Dongyang, without any reason or excuse, just in case. What of it!

His specific precautionary measures were also simple.

First, he picked and ate the ripe berries, then entered a state of passive concealment and removed the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf.

He had to thank Wolf Bu'er and Elder Song, Old Deng, for letting him know its drawbacks. From now on, unless he needed to change his appearance, he would not use the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf.

Because with his 16+2 Passive Concealment Talent, he could handle most situations.

As he was pondering, he suddenly felt something. With his Level 17 Danger Perception, he locked onto a small object.

He slowly stood up and saw something strange had entered his sealed-off spirit field. It was invisible, even Danger Perception couldn't confirm what it was, but due to its close distance, it got locked on.

But Wang Wu only needed a second to confirm it was something using an Invisibility Talisman, similar to Space Magic.

Moreover, this little thing was pretty arrogant. After wandering around the spirit field, it boldly entered the cave, looking around as if it thought the owner was absent.

As it rummaged through things, it returned them to their original place, showing some courtesy.

After rummaging through, it then entered another spirit field, repeating its operations.

Seeing this, Wang Wu laughed, surprised by his luck to hit the jackpot upon arrival.

But was this little thing kept by Snake Flower?

It seemed familiar, so it was a Tree Spirit.

A freshly-advanced Fifth-Grade Snake Flower couldn't have the qualification to keep a Tree Spirit, let alone catch one.

Therefore, it must be from the human cultivator Lv Dongyang.

Hahaha!

Wang Wu just wanted to laugh; history is so similar.

How could the Great Ape King and the Mad Tiger King believe that merchants are trustworthy?

This is definitely a human spy!

It's probably that the Snake Flower was cultivated by this human spy into a civilian demon force.

"So it's not that I'm unlucky, it's just the environment here. It has long been infiltrated by the Human Race like a sieve!"

"The West Desolate Demon Race is about to collapse!"

Wang Wu sighed in his heart, neither angry nor bothered by that little thing, and then lay down on the stone bed, operating the Inner Breathing Technique while cultivating his Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots.

Right now he doesn't want any conflict, so if he can muddle through, that's for the best.

Finding a stable place for cultivation is too difficult.

Especially this time, everything is well arranged, and he can hide here, lying low for ten years. How advantageous!

It's not worth losing much for little.

Killing Lv Dongyang or destroying the Yunfu Trading Company, can that solve the current situation in West Wilderness?

It can't, and it might even get him labeled as horrifying allies by the higher-level Demon Race and get him attacked.

So he definitely has to endure!

Afterward, Wang Wu continued cultivating, unable to spare a moment, but he knew that little thing would have to leave sooner or later since the Invisibility Talisman has a time limit.

Sure enough, after a few hours, that little thing swiftly left.

Wang Wu's Danger Perception continued to follow as it went ten miles away and saw it enter an ordinary cave dwelling, only then stopping.

No worries, as mountains are high and rivers are long, the ends of the earth are not far; we shall meet again in the world other day, and by then, we will have time to come together slowly.

After seeing off the spy, Wang Wu then entered the storeroom, closed the door, and took out the Spiritual Essence Gourd, first absorbing and transforming 2000 points of Spiritual Qi.

Since breaking through last time, his Spiritual Qi storage limit has now reached 2000 points, so today he wanted to enhance his real weak point, the eternally trailing Spiritual Talent.

He consumed 20 points of Spiritual Qi to elevate the Spiritual Talent to Level 5.

This belongs to the first stage of life's Talent Level. As they say, in the blink of an eye, it's been four years.

Haha!

At this moment, his Spiritual Qi storage limit reached 2100 points.

Then, he consumed another 100 points of Spiritual Qi to advance the Spiritual Talent to Level 6; as he anticipated, the effect was enhanced, expanding the Spiritual Qi storage limit by 200 points.

Subsequently, raising the Spiritual Talent to Level 7, it perfectly hit the 2500 points storage limit.

That's enough, no need to upgrade further.

Interestingly, the second stage of Spiritual Talent has an additional new effect compared to the first stage.

Namely, for each level of Spiritual Essence upgraded, the sensitivity to Spiritual Qi fluctuations increases by 10%.

Translated, it means I'll know first where there's a lot of Spiritual Qi, where Spiritual Qi is being mobilized, and if you're silently charging a big move, I'll know in advance.

This is a feature that, combined with the Danger Perception Talent, enables more precise sensing of Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

It can make the Danger Perception Talent more sensitive, more effective, and have a broader sense area.

So it is not a useless, hindering talent.

It's very useful.

After serious deliberation and evaluation, Wang Wu decisively elevated the Spiritual Talent to Level 11.

Because he no longer needs to bask in the sun, the Spiritual Essence Level no longer matters.

It's worth mentioning,

a Level 11 Spiritual Talent, along with the Level 16 Passive Concealment and Level 16 Danger Perception, are usually awakened only at the next stage of adulthood.

He obtained them early due to the significant increase in Bloodline Evolution Level.

Equivalent to others still waiting for the starting gun, while he can already start a fifth of the way.

So, the effect is naturally explosive.

His Spiritual Qi storage limit directly reached 3600 points.

Meanwhile, the sensitivity to Spiritual Qi fluctuations increased by 60%, what does that specifically entail?

He casually glanced upward, at the door's Spirit Field, and could precisely determine the Spiritual Qi content in the Spirit Fruits there.

He could even roughly assess the Spiritual Qi within the Ancient Tree Remains.

From now on, wild Spiritual Plants and Spirit Fruits won't escape his eyes.

Also, the Spirit Field Array, with its subtle, clear, seemingly complex Spiritual Qi circuits, could be understood at a glance!

Comprehending and analyzing it this way, he thought he could also deploy an array, as long as he procured the necessary components, like Array Stones, which fall under the realm of Artifact Refining.

In the end, truly unexpected.

This is a Treasure Talent indeed!
