"It's still good to be at Master Shen's!"

"Such a wonderful place, full of natural wonders and talented people, with beauties gracing the place, it's so pleasing and carefree!"

Zhu Jintang expressed his amazement as he sipped the Spirit Tea.

The purchase price of the Big-headed Wolf Fish Essence Blood is four thousand Spirit Stones.

The fee for Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang to act as agents is ten Thunder Talismans, worth three thousand Spirit Stones!

It must be said, Shen Xuan is a generous person.

He never treats his friends unfairly.

After storing away the Spirit Stones and Thunder Talismans, Zhu Jintang chatted casually with Shen Xuan for a while.

This time, he came in person, not only to deliver the Big-headed Wolf Fish Essence Blood but also to discuss something with Shen Xuan.

Tang Renhao is about to attempt a breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

He hopes Shen Xuan can assist in purchasing a few high-quality Sect Heart Protection Pills.

This kind of Tier Two Spirit Pill used for breaking through realms is likewise a strategic resource, strictly controlled by major sects.

Most of those that flow to the market are refined by loose cultivator alchemists, and their quality is hard to speak of.

"This is not difficult."

Shen Xuan did not decline.

The Cyan Cloud Sect's management of Heart Protection Pills is looser than Foundation Establishment Pills.

The ones produced by the sect are, of course, not allowed to be transferred.

If someone gathers the materials and asks a sect alchemist to refine them, the sect will not interfere much more.

Compared to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the materials for Heart Protection Pills are much easier to collect.

Shen Xuan immediately wrote a letter.

He asked Lv Zhengying to find a way to acquire three Heart Protection Pills and send them to Tang Renhao at Yunyuan Immortal City.

Seeing Shen Xuan's loyalty.

Zhu Jintang was deeply moved.

"Master Shen, Tang Renhao and I owe you a favor again."

Zhu Jintang expressed his gratitude and left satisfied.

Before leaving, he promised earnestly to do his best to acquire Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood for Shen Xuan.

Actually, for Shen Xuan, this matter is just a small effort.

However, for Tang Renhao and Zhu Jintang, it concerns their Dao paths and cannot be taken lightly.

Every step for a loose cultivator is fraught with difficulty.

"If Tang Renhao can advance to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, Yunyuan Immortal City's Demon Hunter strength will be elevated to a new level."

Shen Xuan was glad to see this happen.

So far.

His cooperation with Tang Renhao has been pleasant.

They are both friends of Wen Zijian.

Without sufficient interests, they won't easily betray each other.

A Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment is equivalent to three Early Stage Foundation Establishments.

Tang Renhao is not very old; he's said to have just passed a hundred years.

After breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

He and Zhu Jintang will be able to lead Yunyuan Immortal City's demon hunters to hunt higher-grade and more numerous demon beasts.

This is also beneficial for Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan is never a petty person.

He believes that sharing interests and achieving win-win cooperation, making the pie bigger, is the best way to gain benefits.

Rather than always thinking about snatching that piece from someone else's hand.

...

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan looked at the golden characters on the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

Feeling somewhat bewildered.

[Stealable Talent: Sharp Teeth and Fangs, Copper Head and Iron Body, A Lifetime]

[A Lifetime], what the heck is this?

Unexpectedly, this ugly Big-headed Wolf Fish is actually a rare loyal type among water demons?

Shen Xuan couldn't do it!

The rest of the Big-headed Wolf Fish's talent skills, like [Water Control], haven't surpassed what Shen Xuan currently possesses, so they weren't displayed.

Helplessly, Shen Xuan had to choose [Sharp Teeth and Fangs].

He has [Iron Bone], and the [Copper Head and Iron Body] function overlaps.

In the next moment.

Shen Xuan felt his teeth become much sturdier and sharper.

Seeing those shiny hard things, he couldn't help but want to bite them.

"Useless!"

"Hmm, it does have benefits, eating meat and gnawing bones without worrying about teeth damage. No worries about losing teeth in the future!"

"Fortunately, the White Lotus Immortal doesn't have this skill!"

Shen Xuan consoled himself.

For some reason, Lotus Immortal and Zhu Yingying both love to bite people.

And bite with great force.

If Lotus Immortal had this talent skill of [Sharp Teeth and Fangs]...

Shen Xuan shivered!

Sending chills down his spine.

Looking again at the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

It is, after all, a Tier Two water attribute demon beast.

Talent skill is useless.

It can still provide Dao Rhyme Points and improve Spirit Root talent.

Two months later, the Big-headed Wolf Fish's essence blood was completely used up.

[Talent: Sharp Teeth and Fangs Proficient (16/200)]

[Dao Rhyme: 1688]

[Spirit Root: Water 68/100)]

The Water Spirit Root talent only increased by one point!

This made Shen Xuan unable to resist complaining.

"It seems that a Tier Two lower-grade demon beast with poor bloodline talent is not very useful anymore!"

Shen Xuan allocated all Dao Rhyme Points to [Water Spirit Absorption].

[Talent: Water Spirit Absorption Mastery (36/400)]

With the increase in skill level, [Water Spirit Absorption] can not only speed up cultivation speed, but the absorbed water spiritual power is also purer than before.

Under the same conditions, the purer the spiritual power, the faster the casting, and the greater the power.

...

The days of closed-door cultivation passed quickly.

Many talent skills, upon reaching their upper limit, slow down in improvement speed.

Even the recently acquired [Thunder God's Fury], after reaching a minor achievement, is the same.

Shen Xuan focused his main cultivation energy on [Divine Hidden Sea Technique], [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique], and [Water Spirit Absorption].

On this day, he received another letter from Lv Zhengying.

"Lei Yaoyang has broken through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!"

Shen Xuan felt a bit disheartened.

Lei Yaoyang, as always, weighed on his heart like a small mountain.

Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment has double the spiritual power and divine sense compared to the Early Stage.

His combat power can match three.

Moreover, Lei Yaoyang is a Thunder Cultivator, and also a Golden Core inheritor.

His combat power far exceeds an ordinary Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Shen Xuan guessed that Lei Yaoyang has the capability to contend with the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

If his magical treasures are powerful, he could kill a Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

In addition, Lv Zhengying mentioned something else.

Recently, the Gu Family's warship set sail from Sea City.

At great cost, they hunted another Shadow Octopus.

They asked Lv Zhengying to inquire whether Shen Xuan had any interest in the transaction?

Shen Xuan was moved.

The Shadow Octopus, being a Tier Two Middle Grade, is much more impressive than the Silver-winged Python.

Shen Xuan wrote a letter to Lv Zhengying.

Saying he was interested in the transaction.

Asking the Gu Family to bring the Shadow Octopus carcass to the Su Family at Feiyun Mountain in Cyan Yang Prefecture to find him.

...

The Gu Family acted quickly.

Half a month later.

Two cultivators arrived at the Rain Listening Pavilion.

They were the Gu Family Patriarch and the gold technique cultivator surnamed Gu whom Shen Xuan had met before.

"Greetings, Master Shen."

The Gu Family Patriarch courteously greeted first.

Shen Xuan warmly welcomed him: "Brother Gu, please come in!"

The three took their seats as hosts and guests.

After sipping some Middle Spirit Tea.

The Gu Family Patriarch got straight to the point: "Master Shen, please examine the goods first!"

He opened the Beast Bag and emptied a whole Shadow Octopus carcass onto the floor of the reception hall.

The main body was over a zhang in diameter, with the only intact tentacle extending ten zhang long.

The other seven tentacles were shattered.

Judging by the wound marks, it was evident they were blasted off by the Spiritual Energy Cannon on the warship.

"What a pity! So many tentacles were broken off."

Shen Xuan lightly sighed.

"Master Shen might not know. This Shadow Octopus has remarkable strength and extremely tenacious vitality."

"Had it not been for our Gu Family's formidable warship, tempting it to surface beforehand, no one could have handled it."

Shen Xuan nodded.

On this point, the Gu Family Patriarch wasn't exaggerating.

Even with all the water techniques he's cultivated, in the deep sea, he might not be a match for the Shadow Octopus.

"Master Shen wants just the essence blood, or the entire Shadow Octopus corpse?"

Shen Xuan asked: "What's the price for the essence blood? And for the entire corpse?"

"The essence blood is ten premium Thunder Talismans. The entire corpse is one hundred premium Thunder Talismans."

If converted to Spirit Stones, it's about five thousand and fifty thousand.

The Gu Family Patriarch's offer wasn't high.

However, in recent days, although the success rate of creating [Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talismans] has improved somewhat.

Over half a year, Shen Xuan has only saved over forty premium Thunder Talismans.

It wouldn't be possible to exchange all of them with the Gu Family.

"Ten premium Thunder Talismans for essence blood, no problem."

"For the entire carcass, one hundred premium Thunder Talismans, I can't provide."
