After the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman was made, what remained was to nurture it with Dao Foundation Origin Spiritual Power.

This requires time, not something that can be achieved overnight.

Unless absolutely necessary, Shen Xuan would not use the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman.

The Great Success of [Thunder God's Fury] gave him more confidence.

Not only for refining Treasure Talismans.

But also in fighting against Demon Cultivators, giving him a considerable advantage.

However, Shen Xuan's opponents have never been those Demon Cultivators.

In the Practice Room.

He gazed at the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel Essence Blood on the table.

Shen Xuan was filled with anticipation.

The Mysterious Jade Talisman flashed with a burst of golden light.

[Stealable Talent: Purple Rhyme Thunder, Absolute Thunder Dao Body, Dragon's Might, Sharp Teeth and Fangs]

This time, Shen Xuan did not choose the Thunder Technique Bloodline Talent.

[Purple Rhyme Thunder] is good, but not as good as [Thunder God's Fury].

[Talent: Absolute Thunder Dao Body (18/100)]

[Dao Rhyme: 468]

He chose [Absolute Thunder Dao Body].

This is a kind of special body structure of the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel, similar to an insulator, which can greatly reduce electric damage.

Simply put, it increases Thunder Resistance.

The Purple Rhyme Thunder emitted by the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel can instantly kill Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Tier Two Demon Beasts, yet it remains unharmed.

It is because of the existence of [Absolute Thunder Dao Body].

Looking again at Dao Rhyme, it was as high as more than four hundred points at once.

No wonder it's a Water Demon with a Divine Dragon Bloodline.

Three months later.

Only then did Shen Xuan finish refining all the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel Essence Blood.

[Talent: Absolute Thunder Dao Body Proficient (36/200)]

[Dao Rhyme: 4320]

Shen Xuan tried it.

He performed the [Sea-covering Thunder Technique].

Soon, on his palm, a bright blue arc of lightning lit up.

[Sea-covering Thunder Technique], only at Minor Acheivement.

When fully exerted, its power is equivalent to an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Thunder Cultivator.

"Zizi!" The sound crackled.

The arc of lightning became more and more dazzling, and though the buzzing sound was not loud, it involuntarily sent chills down one's spine.

This is the natural fear psychology of the Human Race towards lightning.

Shen Xuan's Divine Thought slightly moved.

The arc of lightning in his hand suddenly leapt.

Then it turned, returning to strike Shen Xuan himself, who had activated the Protective Spirit Shield.

With a "pop!" sound.

Shen Xuan's body felt slightly numb.

Soon, this [Sea-covering Thunder] dissipated.

Shen Xuan assessed his physical condition.

Aside from the initial numbness.

There was not a scratch on his body.

"Not bad. I can now withstand a full-force strike from an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Thunder Cultivator!"

Indeed, his Thunder Resistance was already high.

With the enhancement of [Absolute Thunder Dao Body], the flesh body is almost immune to ordinary lightning attacks.

"I can't be complacent. [Absolute Thunder Dao Body] doesn't immune all lightning attacks."

According to Shen Xuan's understanding, the insulating function against lightning of [Absolute Thunder Dao Body] is also limited.

Though it can insulate most lightning attacks.

If the electricity is too strong, it will still cause injury.

Shen Xuan bowed his head in contemplation for a while.

Currently, thanks to the Essence Blood provided monthly by the Jade Spirit Clam, the [Water Spirit Absorption] Talent has also successfully advanced to Great Success Level.

In Talent Skills, only [Wealth Attraction], [Soaring Clouds and Mist], [Sharp Teeth and Fangs], [Sea-covering Thunder], and [Soaring Glide] have room for improvement.

Of these Talent Skills, the first three do not need to be prioritized.

The latter two belong to the optional choices.

He activated the experience of [Absolute Thunder Dao Body] Talent Skill.

It's somewhat similar to [Concealing Breath].

It can be continuously activated, consuming very little spiritual power.

It can almost be cultivated passively, and the Skill Points increase quickly.

However, considering the unpredictability of the world.

To prevent any accidents.

Shen Xuan still added all the over four thousand Dao Rhyme points to [Absolute Thunder Dao Body].

[Talent: Absolute Thunder Dao Body Mastery (328/400)]

Indeed, the rarer the Talent Skill, the slower the increase in Dao Rhyme Points.

The Dao Rhyme Points plundered from the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel were only enough to bring [Absolute Thunder Dao Body] to the Master Level.

He tried again with [Sea-covering Thunder].

It had no impact on his flesh body, not even a slight numbness.

He didn't use [Thunder God's Fury].

What a joke!

The Great Success Level [Thunder God's Fury] is enough to destroy any Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Even if he could withstand it, there was no need to test it.

Being struck by lightning can easily cause skin damage, bone damage, nerve damage, and heart function impairment.

Shen Xuan was not willing to invite trouble.

After finishing his practice, Shen Xuan walked out of the Practice Room.

He called for Immortal Bailian.

"What is this?"

Looking at the unfamiliar Water Demon corpse, ten zhang long in front of her, Bailian asked in amazement.

"Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demon, Purple Lightning Dragon Eel. It has a Divine Dragon Bloodline."

"A great item!"

Immortal Bailian immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

"One hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stone blocks. Go ask the Patriarch of the Zhou Family."

"Okay!"

Immortal Bailian agreed cheerfully.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Eel is not like the Three-legged Water Fox.

Divine Dragon Bloodline, lightning attacks.

Just these two points can win over the Zhou Patriarch.

Two days later, the Zhou Patriarch came to the Rain Listening Pavilion in person.

After some bargaining.

Shen Xuan, in the spirit of friendly cooperation, slightly lowered the price.

It was sold at a price of one hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

After the transaction ended.

The two chatted for a while.

The Zhou Patriarch frankly stated that the Cyan Yang Prefecture was about to fall into chaos.

"Aside from our Zhou Family, Zhao Family, and Su Family, the rest of the Cultivation Clans in Cyan Yang Prefecture are either neutral or siding with the Blood Spirit Sect."

This surprised Shen Xuan a bit.

"How could this be? Aren't they afraid of the Cyan Cloud Sect settling accounts with them in the autumn?"

"They are more afraid that the Blood Spirit Sect will exterminate them now!"

The Zhou Patriarch sighed and said, "For some reason, this time, the Cyan Cloud Sect is slow to act. They have not yet dispatched powerful cultivators to Cyan Yang Prefecture to eliminate demons and uphold the Dao."

Shen Xuan was equally puzzled.

A year ago, the Cyan Cloud Sect issued a Sect mission, sending more than thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators to Cyan Yang Prefecture one after another.

However, the results were not ideal.

Over the past year, many of the Cyan Cloud Sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivators have been injured, and more than a dozen were called back to the Sect.

After that, no new Foundation Establishment Cultivators came.

As a result, the Cyan Cloud Sect's influence in Cyan Yang Prefecture diminished significantly, lying low, allowing Demon Cultivators to seize territories and expand their influence.

The Zhou Patriarch looked up at Shen Xuan.

"Does Talisman Master Shen know the inside story?"

Shen Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"That's strange!"

The Zhou Patriarch pondered and said, "So it seems, there's a division among the high-level of the Cyan Cloud Sect regarding the pacification of the demonic chaos in Cyan Yang Prefecture!"

Shen Xuan agreed, "It's very likely as Brother Daoist Zhou said."

Actually, not long ago, Qin Yuehan and Lv Zhengying had respectively sent letters.

Informing him that the current Dao-Demon conflict between the Song and Liang countries is quite large in scale.

The entire border region between the two countries has erupted.

The high-level of Cyan Cloud Sect intends to abandon some remote places.

Cyan Yang Prefecture is among these.

However, this matter is still under discussion.

No conclusion has been reached yet.

Shen Xuan can only wait and see how things develop.

If the Cyan Cloud Sect decides to give up on Cyan Yang Prefecture.

Shen Xuan would immediately return to the Sect.

He wouldn't delay even a day.

This is also the reason he hunted the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

The [Absolute Thunder Dao Body] Talent is precisely used to guard against Lei Yaoyang.

Shen Xuan exchanged pleasantries with the Zhou Patriarch for a while.

Before leaving, the Zhou Patriarch asked Shen Xuan to be more understanding of Zhou Bailian.

"My daughter was raised pampered. If she does anything wrong, I hope Talisman Master Shen will not take it personally and forgive her for my sake."

"Brother Daoist Zhou, you exaggerate! Bailian and I see each other as lifelong friends and get along very well. You don't need to worry!"

The Zhou Patriarch looked at Shen Xuan with meaningful eyes, shook his head, sighed, and took his leave.

When the Zhou Patriarch's silhouette disappeared.

Immortal Bailian playfully stuck out her pink tongue, made a face, smiling as she came to Shen Xuan, extending her right hand open.

"You won't be missing out on your part!"

Shen Xuan jokingly scolded.

Lightly tapped Immortal Bailian's palm.

Then, he assigned her five thousand Spirit Stones.

That night.

Immortal Bailian was especially obedient and gentle.

She tried various techniques she had never used before, sincerely and earnestly.

Her exceptional performance finally satisfied Shen Xuan for once.

"Hehe! Women..."

Looking at the enraptured expression on Immortal Bailian, Shen Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Yet he encouraged her verbally, saying, "Very good, keep going, a little faster..."
