The ghostly wails as they clawed, the small blood-colored knives transformed into a large blade striking down, while the poison powder corroded silently.

Under the combined attack of three Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators, Shen Xuan's Cyan Spirit Wall was visibly at risk, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.

In response, Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

Inside the Dantian.

The liquid Spiritual Power flowed rapidly like a vast ocean, and nine fish-like techniques immediately leaped out, forming nine more Cyan Spirit Walls, reinforcing layer upon layer.

The originally precarious Cyan Spirit Wall was instantly filled with spiritual energy, shining brightly.

Within the Cyan Spirit Wall, Shen Xuan watched the three Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators not far away, his expression growing colder.

Yet, he did not attack.

Instead, he made a casual gesture.

The Golden Claw Divine Eagle and Silver-winged Python transformed into two black glows and were both taken into his Beast Bag.

The two Corpse Beasts had no need to fight to the death against the opponent's Skeleton Demon and Flying Zombie.

If damaged, it would take time and effort to repair.

In his eyes, these three Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators were already dead.

Their possessions were about to change their surname to Shen.

And then.

"Good lad!"

Jia Qidao exerted all his strength, growing the Blood Saber in size, and slashed down from midair.

"Bang!"

The blood-colored large blade struck directly onto Shen Xuan's Cyan Spirit Wall.

To Jia Qidao's astonishment, the Cyan Spirit Wall didn't even flicker; the attack of the blood-colored large blade seemed akin to mere tickling.

How is this possible!

Dozens of ghosts clawed at the Cyan Spirit Wall, with their claws broken, yet unable to shake the wall a bit.

The only effective thing was the poison powder from the Phantom Butterfly, slowly corroding the spiritual light.

However, the speed was extremely slow, akin to a snail.

No idea when it would finish corroding.

Under the Purple Essence Divine Wood.

Qin Yuehan gradually opened her eyes.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, focus on refining your Spirit Body."

"With Senior Brother here, it's as solid as a rock!"

Qin Yuehan nodded slightly.

Her eyes closed slowly again.

Her face was calm and serene.

Obviously, she had complete faith in Shen Xuan's words.

"This lad is proficient in Water Techniques! To break through his Spirit Wall, cut off his Water Spiritual Power source!"

With an icy voice, Meng Die spoke.

At this time, her face was filled with Evil Qi, devoid of any gentle beauty.

Ren Yifei and Jia Qidao exchanged a glance.

The two nodded slightly: "Alright!"

Ren Yifei waved the Soul Summoning Banner, black Qi rolled and rapidly spread, enveloping the entire island, isolating it from the outside.

Jia Qidao raised the Black Gourd, chanting incantations.

Accompanied by a surge of black mist, a Profound Water Black Snake flew out from the Black Gourd, inhaling deeply, drawing all the Water Spiritual Qi from the island into its belly.

Shen Xuan watched, slightly surprised.

Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators are indeed not to be underestimated.

Their Demon Treasures have marvelous uses, truly impressive.

Ren Yifei isolated the island, Jia Qidao siphoned away Water Spiritual Qi.

If it were other Water Cultivators in such circumstances, they would likely flee.

It's a pity they're facing Shen Xuan.

After their maneuvering, they started attacking with full force again.

Even two Skeleton Demons and one Flying Zombie came to assist.

All of them possessed Early Stage strength.

Thus, they managed to break the Cyan Spirit Wall layer by layer.

However, whenever they reached the ninth layer of the Cyan Spirit Wall.

Shen Xuan pointed with two fingers as if they were a sword towards the Cyan Spirit Wall.

Again, nine fish-like techniques leaped out, forming nine more Cyan Spirit Walls, reinforcing layer upon layer.

"Ah!"

The three Demon Cultivators were dumbfounded.

After exerting tremendous effort, spending half a day, they barely broke through nine Cyan Spirit Walls.

The opponent merely pointed, adding nine more layers.

In this way, they had to start over.

Eighteen layers of Cyan Spirit Wall stood before the three.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged in front of them, merely three yards away.

His mouth was still reciting.

"Let him be strong as he is, like a gentle breeze brushing the hills. Let him be arrogant as he is, like the bright moon illuminating the Grand River."

These words were spoken for Qin Yuehan.

As expected.

Qin Yuehan's face was much calmer.

Not as tense as before.

"Attack with full force!"

"How can his spiritual power alone withstand all three of us!"

"He's playing the empty city stratagem!"

With a stern voice, Meng Die shouted.

"Indeed!"

"Senior Sister's words make sense!"

"We've already cut off Water Spiritual Qi; he has no way to replenish his Spiritual Power!"

"We hold the advantage!"

"Continue!"

Ren Yifei and Jia Qidao chimed in encouragement.

When the meat is already at the mouth, how can they not eat!

The three regained their spirit, each applying their skills, continuing the attack.

Indeed, their reasoning was correct.

Just relying on Shen Xuan's Spiritual Power alone is indeed somewhat strenuous.

However, he had the Water Purification Bottle.

Shen Xuan conjured the Water Purification Bottle, spewing a stream of Spirit Water.

With a virtual point of the finger, it directly transformed into nine Dark Spirit Fish, forming nine layers of Cyan Spirit Wall.

Watching this, Meng Die and the others were dumbfounded.

No matter how they tried, they couldn't break Shen Xuan's Cyan Spirit Wall.

Breaking one layer, Shen Xuan would add another layer.

Moreover, he had treasures storing Spirit Water.

With the attacking power of these three, even attacking all year round, the Spirit Water in the Water Purification Bottle would likely remain untouched.

They finally became disheartened.

It's their first time seeing a Water Cultivator with such tenacious defense.

"This person only has formidable defense, without any significant attack power!"

"We'll just stay here and guard. Without Spiritual Power replenishment, it'll take them at most two to three months to run out of it."

Meng Die thus assessed.

Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm can go months without eating or drinking.

As time prolongs, they too need to replenish their Spiritual Power.

Otherwise, their physical functions would decline.

"Alright, let's stay here and wear this lad down!"

The three reached a decision.

Little did they know, Shen Xuan refrains from using lethal moves.

Fearing that during the killing, the overwhelming blood Qi might affect Qin Yuehan's Spirit Body refining.

The three across merely keeping watch, suits him perfectly.

"Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators, despite their lack of value, can still exchange some Spirit Stones, relieving my urgent needs."

In the past two years, Shen Xuan had spent everything refining the Water Purification Bottle, condensing Hundred-Direction Spirit Water, and creating two Corpse Beasts.

Crafting Thunder Talismans and Poison Talismans did earn some Spirit Stones.

However, among them, the high-quality Thunder and Poison Talismans were kept by Shen Xuan for personal use.

The rest of the normal Thunder and Poison Talismans merely earned some labor pay.

To avoid unexpected issues.

Throughout the journey, aside from hunting down those demon boars, he didn't kill a single Demon Beast.

Shen Xuan's main purpose for this journey was to repay Qin Yuehan's kindness, finding the Purple Essence Divine Wood and aiding her in forming the Cyan Wood Spirit Body.

Meeting fellow student Ling Zhenfeng unexpectedly became a pleasant surprise.

In the Cultivation Realm, he has few friends.

Ling Zhenfeng counted as one.

Though the other walked down the demon cultivation path.

Shen Xuan didn't look down on him.

If given a choice, who wouldn't want to join a renowned sect, embarking on the grand path of Immortal Cultivation!

Unfortunately, Ling Zhenfeng didn't get to choose.

Nor did Shen Xuan get to choose.

In the Cultivation Realm, most people don't get to choose.

Still maintaining their youthful friendship is already quite admirable.

Such friendship, as one ages, won't reappear.

Ling Zhenfeng gifted the Shadow-devouring Demon Insect eggs, and he reciprocated with Thunder and Poison Talismans.

Primarily emphasizing mutual exchange, not exploiting friends.

For Qin Yuehan, he also hoped to reciprocate similarly.

However, as of now, against Lei Yaoyang, the difference in strength is too massive, without any chance of winning, he can only temporarily retreat.

Such enmity must be avenged.

But it requires waiting for an opportunity, possessing enough strength to decisively destroy the opponent, leaving them without a chance of recovery.

Even within the sect, it's also driven by vested interests.

He just needs to showcase a greater utility than Lei Yaoyang.

The sect's senior officials will side with him.

In this, Shen Xuan is brimming with confidence.

More than ten days later.

Qin Yuehan finally opened her eyes once more, unable to conceal her delight.

"Senior Brother, Yuehan succeeded!"
