Elder Bai's smile revealed a hint of pride.

Shen Xuan's heart shook violently.

The small beast tide came early!

The historical patterns are often broken.

He never expected, no matter how much he calculated, it would not be as accurate as Heaven's calculation!

The small beast tide erupted ahead of schedule!

Of course, with Shen Xuan's greatly enhanced strength, he did not fear the small beast tide.

The reason it's called a small beast tide is because the demon beast horde that erupts lacks a demon king.

The highest tier of demon beasts is Tier Two Top Grade.

Without a demon king leading, the beast tide cannot gain momentum.

Even if Shen Xuan couldn't defeat them, he could use the Thunder Escape Technique, or activate the Myriad Miles Golden Light Talisman, to escape unscathed.

As for whether Elder Bai would deceive him.

Shen Xuan considered the possibility to be very low.

At Elder Bai's level of status and identity, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't resort to petty tricks like deception.

Especially when facing a junior at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, Shen Xuan still wanted to confirm.

"May I ask Elder, I've heard, when a small beast tide erupts, a demon king does not participate, is that so?"

"In general, yes."

Elder Bai stared directly at Shen Xuan.

"If it evolves into a true beast tide, a demon king will certainly appear."

"And there won't be just one."

Shen Xuan nodded.

"Then is the chance of this small beast tide escalating into a full beast tide high?"

"Very small."

Elder Bai answered.

Shen Xuan's expression relaxed slightly.

If a Tier Three demon king doesn't act, it will remain just a small beast tide; Shen Xuan was confident of escaping unscathed.

Seeing Shen Xuan's demeanor become calm.

Elder Bai looked surprised.

"Does Little Friend Shen have a way to escape?"

"My master was generous and gifted me a Tier Three Escape Talisman before I set out. Though I am not skilled, I can barely activate it, reaching a thousand miles away."

"Is it the Myriad Miles Golden Light Talisman?"

"Exactly."

The smile on Elder Bai's face froze suddenly.

Soon after, it gradually faded.

"Very good. Little Friend Shen indeed came prepared."

"Eighteen hundred Thunder Spirit Pearls, I will make the decision to trade the [True Spirit Transformation] with you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan hesitated instead.

Eighteen hundred Thunder Spirit Pearls were sold outside for a million Spirit Stones, and even then, in limited quantity.

The cost for Shen Xuan was low, only forty thousand Spirit Stones.

Upon returning to the Cyan Cloud Sect, as long as he was willing to spend time, he could refine as many Thunder Spirit Pearls as he wanted.

However, selling on such a large scale to the Bai Family Stronghold, without sufficient reason.

Shen Xuan might find trouble upon returning to the sect.

That trouble isn't terrifying.

The key is whether it is worth it.

"May I verify the content of the [True Spirit Transformation]?"

"You may!"

Elder Bai pointed slightly.

An old, yellowed Jade Scroll flew out rapidly.

Shen Xuan examined the secret technique content within the Jade Scroll.

Just upon opening the words [True Spirit Transformation], he could tell it was the genuine article.

The three words, in flamboyant calligraphy, vaguely transformed into the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix Dharma Aspect, suppressing Shen Xuan's bloodline talent.

He further examined its body refining content.

It involves integrating True Spirit Essence Blood into one's own blood, strengthening the flesh body, mutating and condensing the True Spirit Dharma Aspect, thereby gaining a part of the true spirit's divine powers and talent skills.

Shen Xuan performed several [Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil] techniques on the [True Spirit Transformation], all resulting in great fortune.

His divine soul also expressed joy and excitement, emitting a strong desire.

His intuition told him, this [True Spirit Transformation] would be of great help to him.

"Elder, is there True Spirit Essence Blood in this realm?"

After verifying, Shen Xuan returned the Jade Scroll to Elder Bai.

Then asked the question weighing on his mind.

The [True Spirit Transformation] clearly stated that it used True Spirit Essence Blood.

Shen Xuan did not think the Bai Family Stronghold could obtain such a precious item.

If categorized by tier, True Spirit Blood would be a ninth-tier spiritual object.

The entire Profound Origin Continent might not even have it.

"There is none in this realm, there might be in the Upper Realm, and certainly in the Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan's heart stirred.

Many ancient cultivation scriptures mention "ascension upon attaining the Dao."

Shen Xuan speculated that the Profound Origin Continent might be a lower cultivation realm.

Thus, the legends of ascension upon achieving the Dao, or demon gods descending.

He had witnessed the Demon Sect summoning a demon god.

Moreover, he had used a Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman to personally kill a projection of a demon god.

So, the Demon Realm truly exists.

If the Demon Realm exists, might there also be a Spirit Realm, an Immortal Realm?

"Little Friend Shen need not ask too much, you will understand in due time."

"I only have one question, are you willing to make the trade?"

Shen Xuan smiled.

"Of course, I'm willing to trade."

"However, I don't want this one, I want the one you've cultivated."

Elder Bai, old and decrepit, nearing the end.

But in Shen Xuan's Insight Technique, his aura was deep and vast, unfathomable.

Even stronger than Shen Xuan himself.

He should be a cultivator at the perfection of Foundation Establishment.

That's only in terms of magic cultivation.

As the grand elder of the Bai Family Stronghold, Elder Bai could not possibly not have practiced a body refining technique.

"Smart!"

Elder Bai took out a blank Jade Scroll and placed it on his forehead, branding the technique with his divine soul.

It took only half a stick of incense time.

But Elder Bai appeared even more aged.

Evidently, it wasn't just the branding of the technique.

He had added the "No Transmission of Teachings" restriction.

Using the "No Transmission of Teachings" restriction is a common method for many cultivation influences to protect their inheritance.

However, adding the "No Transmission of Teachings" restriction consumes the power of the divine soul of the person recording the technique in the Jade Scroll.

The more powerful the restriction, the more power of the divine soul is consumed.

It's difficult to make up for it in a short period of time.

Therefore, the higher the tier of the inheritance, the more precious it becomes.

Each cultivation influence tacitly controls the dissemination of high-tier inheritances.

In the Qi Cultivation Realm, things are relatively easier; whether it's cultivation techniques or techniques, they are affordable and effective.

But when it comes to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it becomes extremely challenging.

Shen Xuan succeeded in establishing his foundation years ago.

He exerted all his efforts to obtain the "Divine Hidden Sea Technique" Foundation Establishment Chapter.

Without Qin Yuehan's help, and becoming Master Gu Feng's disciple,

he would likely have halted at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"I'm so tired! If young friend Shen doesn't trade, this old man will suffer greatly."

A technique Jade Scroll flew in front of Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan scanned it with his divine sense.

This time, the requirement is much simpler.

Just need to extract essence blood from descendants of the True Spirit bloodline to practice.

Of course, strengthening the flesh body and the resulting Dharma Aspect is not a True Spirit, but rather a descendant of the True Spirit bloodline.

It can also grant partial bloodline divine powers and talent skills.

The more pure the essence blood, the higher the success rate of the Body Refining Technique, and the greater the power of the condensed Dharma Aspect.

Looking again at the name of the technique.

"Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation".

These five words, although written with vigor, make the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix Dharma Aspect extremely obscure.

If not observed carefully, it's impossible to discern it.

"Young friend Shen need not worry. This is a Body Refining inheritance for the Dharma Realm."

"After nine revolutions, with iron-like bones, the flesh body can ascend to the Dharma Realm, enough to contend with a Demon King and a True Master!"

Elder Bai explained with a glint of longing in his eyes.

"Elder Bai, may I ask boldly, which transformation have you reached?"

"The eighth transformation."

Elder Bai said proudly.

Then, his voice became somber.

"Alas, this old man only reached the eighth transformation. If I could achieve great success in the ninth transformation, there would be no place on the Profound Origin Continent I couldn't go!"

Elder Bai sighed deeply, filled with regret.

"After all, the Bai Family Stronghold is a small influence, with limited resources. Back then, if I had obtained better True Spirit descendants' essence blood, perhaps I could have broken through to the ninth transformation!"

"If young friend Shen is willing to trade, I have some True Spirit descendants' essence blood here. The quantity is sufficient for young friend Shen to cultivate beyond the third transformation."

"Moreover, I'll share my lifelong cultivation insights from practicing 'Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation'."

"All I ask is for young friend Shen to agree to help the Bai Family Stronghold successfully defend against this minor beast tide."

Shen Xuan fell silent.

Even without a Demon King in the minor beast tide,

those Tier Two Top Grade Demon Beasts are not easy to deal with.

Their strength is equivalent to Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators of the human race.

In this Wilderness, they can exert their power more effectively than human cultivators.

He truly desires the "Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation".

If it were just eighteen hundred Thunder Spirit Pearls, he wouldn't hesitate to trade on the spot.

And then leave the Bai Family Stronghold directly.

But Elder Bai proposed that he help defend against the minor beast tide.

This was not part of his plans.

Elder Bai wasn't hasty either.

"Young friend Shen, who are the two True Masters from the Cyan Cloud Sect you apprenticed under?"

"Master Gu Feng and Master Ice."

"To be the direct disciple of two lineages is quite rare!"

Elder Bai sighed lightly.

"Young friend Shen's future path is boundless! However, doesn't young friend Shen want to know what type of True Spirit descendant's essence blood I hold?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan's heart was stirred, and he focused keenly on Elder Bai.

"Millennium Frost Snow Flood Dragon Essence Blood."

"By the time I acquired this Millennium Frost Snow Flood Dragon Essence Blood, it was already too late; my vitality has declined, and I dared not refine and practice it."

"If I had obtained it a hundred years ago, I might still have had the chance to strike for the ninth transformation and condense the True Spirit Divine Beast Dharma Aspect."

Elder Bai's tone was somber, full of regret.

Shen Xuan felt a shock inside.

Millennium Frost Snow Flood Dragon!

Tier Two Top Grade Ice Attribute Demon Beast!

And a descendant of the True Spirit Divine Dragon!

Shen Xuan's voice trembled slightly.

"Elder Bai, is this Millennium Frost Snow Flood Dragon indeed a Tier Two Top Grade Ice Attribute Demon Beast?"

"Indeed."

"How much is there?"

"The entire quantity of one Frost Snow Flood Dragon."

"Hold on!"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath.

Then, he stood up and paced repeatedly inside the hut.

He was trying various ways to calm himself down.

He was extremely excited.

This was understandable.

The allure is too great!

This is the highest tier of water attribute Demon Beast essence blood he has come across since he started cultivating.

Enhancing spirit root talent, gaining vast Dao rhyme, boosting ice technique skills, tempering the flesh body, condensing the True Spirit Divine Beast Dharma Aspect…

Including Elder Bai's century-long cultivation insights.

It must be said, in order to make Shen Xuan help defend against the minor beast tide, the conditions offered by Elder Bai were too tempting.

Shen Xuan knew that missing out on this trade, he would regret it for life.

As long as the Bai Family Stronghold can endure this minor beast tide,

he surely wouldn't receive such generous terms again.

Shen Xuan thought over and over.

"Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation", Frost Snow Flood Dragon essence blood, Elder Bai's cultivation insights are enough to make him take the risk.

This opportunity must not be lost!

He must not hesitate and miss the bigger picture.

Of course.

Elder Bai, in his eagerness, had laid all his cards on the table.

Shen Xuan still held cards to play.

In the trade negotiations, he held the advantage.

While ensuring the success of the trade, Shen Xuan would certainly bargain for more benefits.

"Elder Bai, I am willing to trade."

"Defending the Bai Family Stronghold against the minor beast tide, is a commitment I shall fulfill."

"However, I have a few conditions that I hope Elder Bai will agree to."

"Otherwise, even if I am thoroughly committed, I would have to leave regretfully!"
