Shen Xuan unleashed a stream of Water Spirit True Qi.

The blood line twisted and screamed as if it were alive.

A few breaths later, it was erased by Shen Xuan's Water Spirit True Qi.

"Not a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a Demon Cultivator!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

The cultivation of ordinary cultivators emphasizes refining essence and qi, meditation, cultivating oneself, thereby establishing a foundation and forming a core, each step solidifying the Dao Heart Ascension Ladder.

Demon Cultivators, however, are different.

Demon Cultivators devour essence blood and extract and refine the soul, using all means to strengthen themselves, their cultivation speed is extremely rapid in the early stages.

Their magical combat methods are sinister and ruthless, their strength generally surpasses others of the same realm, allowing them to fight across one or two minor realms.

"If it's a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator at the middle stage, then it makes sense."

Murong Jun is handsome and possesses a unique rebellious and unruly charm, akin to the "rakish but suave" type from the previous life, which is very attractive to prestigious young ladies.

A certain rakish celebrity from the past life captivated goddesses of a certain place, creating scenes of extreme allure.

Shen Xuan's internal warning bells rang loudly.

Next to Cyan Yang Prefecture, there lies Liang Country's Martial Mansion.

The Demon Sect flourishes there.

The Murong Jun seen today, although showing no flaw at all.

But Shen Xuan is sure that the other party is a Demon Cultivator.

And quite a prominent one at that.

The Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Technique is never wrong.

Intuition is more accurate than the traditional five senses.

It has long been heard that some demonic figures possess vast divine powers and extraordinary means,

today's encounter indeed confirms this.

If Shen Xuan hadn't practiced the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Technique, he wouldn't have believed that Murong Jun, who hailed from Yellow Maple Forest, was actually a middle-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator!

Besides this.

He had another gain.

He saw the direct granddaughter of Su Patriarch, Su Jiayuan.

Beautiful as a flower, as graceful as a swan.

As foolish as a pig, irredeemable!

"Stay away from such people in the future!"

Shen Xuan was relieved.

Fortunately, he wasn't the type to be swayed by a pretty face.

Most things that come to you easily aren't good!

...

The appearance of a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator heightened Shen Xuan's sense of crisis.

Back home, Su Xue'Er handed over a letter.

The letter was from Qin Yuehan.

It mentioned that Qin Yuehan had found a water attribute spatial magical treasure that Shen Xuan had mentioned.

It's called the Water Purification Bottle.

It has the Wishful Size feature and can also be Hidden and Concealed.

It also possesses the effect of refining Water Spiritual Qi.

However, this magical treasure is a replica of a spiritual artifact.

It cannot store other magical treasures.

Only capable of storing and refining Water Spiritual Qi.

The interior space isn't large.

Approximately over a hundred cubics.

When refining Water Spiritual Qi, not only does it need to be placed with middle-grade Water Spirit Stones, but it also requires the cultivator to consume a lot of spiritual power and divine sense.

The price is also high.

It requires twenty thousand sect contribution points.

At the end of the letter, Qin Yuehan asked Shen Xuan if he was certain about purchasing it.

The Water Purification Bottle is a middle-grade water attribute magical treasure, its efficacy isn't strong, more show than substance.

That's why it's been sitting in the sect's storeroom all along, unasked for.

After reading the letter, Shen Xuan was very pleased.

A cubic capacity of a hundred is already quite good.

One cubic of water weighs a ton.

A hundred cubics, filled with water, weighs a hundred tons.

Equivalent to two hundred thousand jin.

If all contained rich water spiritual water, it could greatly enhance Shen Xuan's combat power.

Shen Xuan immediately wrote back.

Asking Qin Yuehan to purchase it on his behalf.

The sect contribution points needed, he would offset with spirit stones.

Twenty thousand sect contribution points equate to sixty thousand spirit stones.

Shen Xuan could barely manage it.

"Please, Junior Sister Qin, ensure the purchase."

At the end of the letter, Shen Xuan repeatedly emphasized that sect contribution points weren't a problem.

He could exchange spirit stones for sect contribution points.

...

The emergence of a Demon Cultivator threatening his life made Shen Xuan anxious again.

Originally, he thought he was just biding his time in Feiyun Su Family for thirty years.

After thirty years, completing the task of supporting the Feiyun Su Family, breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he would return to Cyan Cloud Sect, transitioning from a registered disciple to a direct disciple.

Thereafter, he would remain in Cyan Cloud Sect, focused on cultivation, with a clear path ahead.

Who would've expected.

To encounter a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator who goes by the alias "Murong Jun."

A strength unfathomably deep, the strongest Shen Xuan had seen below Core Formation.

Moreover, Su Jiayuan was infatuated, staying by Murong Jun's side.

This also added much pressure on Shen Xuan.

"Nothing can be taken lightly. In the Cultivation World, a single misstep, and it's the end of one's path!"

Shen Xuan reminded himself.

Boundlessly immersing himself in cultivation.

...

Over ten days later.

On this day, after finishing his practice, Shen Xuan had just stepped out of Rain Listening Pavilion.

When he saw a familiar white dress silhouette.

"Junior Sister Qin, why are you here?"

In the reception hall, Shen Xuan personally brewed tea for Qin Yuehan.

Since parting at Cyan Cloud Sect, it's only been two years.

Qin Yuehan in her immortal skirt, with gentle, friendly eyes, displayed more spirit and less cold reserve than before.

"The Water Purification Bottle you needed, Yuehan has brought it."

"Thank you, Junior Sister Qin! This is sixty-one thousand spirit stones, including the last Creation Pill."

Qin Yuehan shook her head and smiled lightly, but still accepted the spirit stones Shen Xuan handed over.

Shen Xuan picked up the Water Purification Bottle and examined it closely.

The entire bottle was carved from a piece of white immortal jade, crystal clear, like pure ice and snow, emitting a gentle glow.

At the mouth of the bottle, there were several intricate dragon patterns forming a peculiar seal design.

"What a fine magical treasure!"

The Water Purification Bottle is a replica of a spiritual artifact, lacking certain functions, and cannot be used directly in magical combat.

However, for Shen Xuan, having such a treasure to store a large amount of spiritual water would make him unbeatable.

"As long as Senior Brother likes it."

Qin Yuehan smiled and finished her cup of spirit tea.

"Where did you use the Creation Pill, on which of the beautiful ones?"

Shen Xuan felt a bit embarrassed.

"Xue'Er, come in."

Su Xue'Er obediently walked in.

"Concubine Su Xue'Er, very capable, handles all the matters of Rain Listening Pavilion by herself."

"This is my Junior Sister Qin Yuehan, the Creation Pill you received was purchased with her help."

Su Xue'Er bowed in salute: "Xue'Er deeply thanks Immortal Qin!"

"Raise your head to let Yuehan see, what kind of woman could captivate Senior Brother!"

Su Xue'Er lifted her head, her bright eyes boldly meeting Qin Yuehan's gaze.

Amidst her humility, there was a trace of pride.

Qin Yuehan nodded and smiled: "Senior Brother has good taste!"

"Xue'Er, you may leave now!"

"Yes, husband!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Su Xue'Er emphasized the words "husband" heavily.

After Su Xue'Er left.

Shen Xuan explained: "She is very good. Her parents passed away early, she has been taking care of her younger siblings alone, it's not easy."

Qin Yuehan's eyes dimmed slightly then brightened again quickly.

"Senior Brother, Yuehan has come this time besides the Water Purification Bottle, with another matter to ask for your help."

Qin Yuehan told Shen Xuan that she had awakened the bloodline talent of the Royal Family of Song Country, and was gradually converting to a Cyan Wood Spirit Body.

Once the conversion is complete, her bone and talent will experience a qualitative leap, making her cultivation efficiency comparable to a Celestial Spirit Root.

In this way, the once vague hope of Core Formation also becomes possible.

Qin Yuehan has been at Foundation Establishment for thirty years.

And is about to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Recently, she received intel that in the Shadow Forest, someone discovered "Purple Essence Divine Wood."

This divine wood is one of the best spiritual objects for her to refine into a Cyan Wood Spirit Body.

After absorbing the "Purple Essence Divine Wood," she can completely convert into a Cyan Wood Spirit Body.

Just in time to seize this opportunity to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, the intel indicates that the "Purple Essence Divine Wood" grows deep in the Shadow Forest.

It's a perilous place, filled with demon birds, beasts, and insects, with numerous Tier Two demon creatures.

Tier Two demon creatures are equivalent to human Foundation Establishment cultivators, each with their bloodline talent, many are pack hunters, not to be underestimated.

Moreover, within the core area of the Shadow Forest, there exists a Tier Three Demon King.

This is an existence comparable to a human Core Formation True Master.

A human Foundation Establishment cultivator is just a delicacy before a Tier Three Demon King.

Qin Yuehan wanted to ask Shen Xuan to accompany her for this expedition.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

If it were anyone else, Shen Xuan would unequivocally refuse.

But regarding Qin Yuehan…

He owed Qin Yuehan far too much.

When it involves life risks, Shen Xuan hesitated to make a hasty decision.

"Has Junior Sister Qin consulted with the master about this?"
