Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 468: Head of the Dragon Flock

The aura on this figure is shockingly at the Foundation Establishment Perfection!

To think someone of such Realm Cultivation is merely a gatekeeper.

It is imaginable how high the status of customers entering the secret door must be.

Shen Xuan took out the Dragon King’s Token and handed it over.

The Dragon King’s Token was carved from azure spirit jade, with the image of a green Divine Dragon vividly displayed in the center, appearing lifelike.

The Dragon King’s Token, similar to the purple jade sword bracelet, stored three attack Techniques from the Sea Dragon King.

Each Technique holds twenty percent of its full power in a strike.

It can heavily injure an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The gatekeeping Cultivator was evidently someone who knew the value.

"How could you have the Sea Dragon King’s Token?"

Shen Xuan retorted, "Seeing the token is akin to meeting the man. Does the Sea Dragon King lack the qualification to enter?"

"Or perhaps, has the Ghost Market’s rule of not asking the source been abolished here?"

The gatekeeping Cultivator returned the Dragon King’s Token and quietly stepped back.

Shen Xuan proudly continued onward.

The secret door silently opened.

As he walked inside, his eyes were dazzled.

Inside, the lights were bright and luxurious, gold and jade in glorious splendor.

A grandiose hall, with countless Luminous Pearls shining brilliantly.

The tables were laden with various Tier Two Spirit Wines and Spirit Fruits.

A dozen fragrant roasted suckling pigs, amber-like in color, with golden skin, crispy skin, and tender meat, extremely tempting.

"Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beast Red-Eyed Fragrant Pig, was it all hunted at once by Cultivators or is it being farm-cultivated?"

Shen Xuan could not help but feel his appetite whet.

He turned his attention to over a dozen Cultivators in the hall.

Among them, one figure was robust, with muscles bulging high, and leopard-like patterns came to life on his face.

"Golden Body Body Refiner! I didn’t expect to meet a peer here as well."

Shen Xuan glanced and couldn’t help but nod slightly.

That person was in the late stage of the Golden Body Realm, and his cultivation technique was likely related to some kind of demon leopard.

There was another person, with a kind appearance and a gentle manner, short hair, wearing a cyan shirt, sitting at the table, flipping through a Buddhist scripture, chanting silently.

Upon careful listening, the sentences being recited were from the Buddhist scripture.

"Wherefore is it so? All phenomenal activities are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning. One should thus observe them..."

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

What a person devoted to Buddhism!

If not for the heavy Evil Qi on him, based on appearance alone.

Shen Xuan would hardly believe.

This person had at least one hundred lives on his hands.

Shen Xuan’s gaze swept over and paused on a masked female Cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Her figure was graceful, with a thin waist and long legs, her body curvaceous, and when she walked, it was like a willow branch gently swaying in the wind, particularly light and beautiful.

Shen Xuan was stunned.

An old and distant sense of familiarity surfaced in his memory.

"Is it her?"

"How could she be here?"

Shen Xuan remained unfazed, continuing to observe the other people in the hall.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze, honestly sitting in a corner.

The late-stage Golden Body Realm Body Refiner, the heavily Evil Qi Buddhist Cultivator, and the masked female Cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment were the three weakest in the hall.

The other eight, five were at Foundation Establishment Perfection, and three were in the Fake Pill Realm.

In particular, those three in the Fake Pill Realm, their Evil Qi far exceeded that of the short-haired Cultivator reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Each had at least one thousand lives on their hands.

They were likely overlords in the nearby sea region.

"The Sea-Pacifying King of Chaos Stone Sea, the Chang Sheng Ship Master of the Fairy Islands, and another whose identity is unknown."

Shen Xuan pondered silently.

At this time, although he relied on the Sea Dragon King’s Dragon King’s Token to gain entry.

But he was only a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

In the Cultivation World, hierarchies are strict.

Low Tier Cultivators should not offend High Tier Cultivators.

Even an unintended word could lead to disaster.

Based on the identity Shen Xuan presented.

He could only associate with those three.

Shen Xuan quietly moved next to the masked female Cultivator.

"How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"

The masked female Cultivator spoke.

It was indeed her!

Shen Xuan communicated telepathically.

"Loose Cultivator Shen Fei"

He entered this place, relying on the Sea Dragon King’s Token.

If there were people with intentions, they could probably easily identify him through the Sea Dragon Girl.

Thus, upon discovering it was Zhu Yingying across, Shen Xuan revealed his guise.

Zhu Yingying giggled, "What a good name!"

"I once had a good friend with the surname Shen."

"How should I address the Immortal?"

"My surname is Zhu."

"Shen Fei greets Fairy Zhu."

Shen Xuan removed his mask.

"Fairy Zhu, I am hungry, please excuse me for a moment."

He walked to the large table, picking up a roasted suckling pig.

With so many people in the hall, accounting by headcount, taking one was reasonable.

The skin was crispy, melting in the mouth, tender and juicy, Shen Xuan ate with great gusto, rapidly devouring the entire roasted suckling pig.

"Earth Attribute Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beast, too little Spiritual Power. But it is truly delicious!"

Shen Xuan still wanted more.

Opposite, Zhu Yingying gazed intently at Shen Xuan.

Motionless, like a statue.

Seemingly immersed in memories.

At this moment, Shen Xuan’s appearance was that of a sinister old Cultivator.

No matter how, she would not associate the sinister old Cultivator in front of her with the elegant uncle from years ago.

Shen Xuan spoke no more, closing his eyes to meditate.

After a while.

A door opened within the hall.

A dignified Cultivator dressed in brocade clothes walked in from the doorway.

The aura was strong, evidently a True Pill True Master.

"True Master Lu!"

The twelve Cultivators present, including Shen Xuan, all stood up.

It was indeed True Master Lu!

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

"This Lu family in White Cloud Immortal City, although appearing to be a True Pill family, is in fact the head of pirate Cultivators dividing the spoils."

In this world, those who are successful are never the kind-hearted and soft-hearted ones.

The Lu Family wants to survive, wants to develop, and wants to support their clan members in condensing the Inner Core.

Relying on just one White Cloud Immortal City is far from enough.

Shen Xuan speculated.

This might be the real reason the Sea Dragon King runs rampant in the Star Sea, and the Sect True Masters give him face.

The Lu Family of White Cloud Immortal City gathers numerous pirate cultivators along the coast, forming an unignorable cultivation influence.

The Sea Dragon King is precisely one of the key figures among them.

True Master Lu walked into the great hall, using his Divine Sense to scan the crowd.

He nodded slightly at the three Fake Pill cultivators.

Clearly, he was aware of the identities of these three.

As for the others, he didn’t even glance at them.

"Everyone, please have a seat!"

Each of the twelve people took their seats along the two sides of the long table, according to their status and position.

"Those who can enter here are all insiders."

"If you have any good items, bring them out."

True Master Lu’s gaze swept across the room.

It lingered briefly on Shen Xuan, then moved on.

A mere late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, True Master Lu didn’t pay him any mind.

Even though he’s a new face.

But holding a token from the Sea Dragon King, with no shallow relationship to him, can’t stir up any storms.

A Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator took out a small piece of Tier Three refining materials.

"This is Explosive Flame Crystal, two jin and seven liang, a top-grade material for refining Fire Attribute Spiritual Artifacts, greatly enhancing the flame power of the artifact."

Shen Xuan felt stirred inside.

He had in his hand a Divine Feather of the Ornithoid King and a small cluster of Golden Crow True Flame.

Originally intended to imitate the legendary Five Fires Seven Birds Fan Spiritual Treasure.

However, being new here.

Although the Explosive Flame Crystal is good, it’s not something he urgently needs right now.

Shen Xuan restrained himself, choosing to observe for the moment.

Soon, the piece of Explosive Flame Crystal was exchanged by a Fake Pill cultivator.

Another Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator brought out a Skyward Jade Bone Zombie.

Impenetrable by sword or spear, untouched by water or fire, harder than gold or stone.

Capable of flight, with combat power equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, an excellent assistant in Magical Combat.

Taken by another Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Following that, the Foundation Establishment cultivators each brought out their prized treasures.

A wide variety of items, each showing their abilities.

Shen Xuan watched with great interest.

Until that short-haired cultivator with a benevolent look took out a Spirit Flower, catching his attention.

It was an unusually shaped Spirit Flower, male and female together, the female flower pink, the male deep purple, like two patches of colorful clouds embracing each other.

Shen Xuan instantly recognized it as one of the main materials for refining the Life-Extending Pill, the Purple-Red Accompanying Colorful Spirit Flower.

"This is one of the three main materials for the Life-Extending Pill, the Purple-Red Accompanying Colorful Spirit Flower. Look, everyone, it’s over a thousand years old, picked only at complete maturity, the whole plant is mostly intact."

The short-haired cultivator spoke eloquently.

"I’d like to exchange this Spirit Flower for a top-grade Gold Attribute Magical Treasure, or a complete Talisman Treasure."

Shen Xuan didn’t rush to bid.

Instead, he observed the other cultivators.

Starting with True Master Lu and the three Fake Pill cultivators.

To Shen Xuan’s surprise.

These four showed no intention to bid.

"Could it be, they have channels to directly purchase the Life-Extending Pill?"

Logically, this kind of Tier Three Life-Extending Spirit Pill main material is needed by all Fake Pill True Masters.

The conditions proposed by the Loose Cultivator were not unreasonable.

"Though it’s a thousand years old, and the Spirit Flower has reached maturity, the root and stem were damaged during picking, reducing the efficacy."

From the main seat, True Master Lu stated calmly.

"What the True Master says is very true. Fellow Daoists needn’t worry, I inquired with an elder Pill Master of the True Meaning Sect. Only two percent of the efficacy is lost. If refined properly, it can still become a pill."

So that’s it!

Could it be that True Master Lu and the others didn’t bid?

The Life-Extending Pill is already difficult to refine, with a low Pill Success Rate.

If the quality of the main material is not good, a slight mistake could end up in vain.

All present are wise.

Each is a dominant figure, with vast wealth.

Unwilling to trade for this flawed Spirit Medicine.

Shen Xuan possessed the inheritance from the Demon Wood Sect.

Within it was a secret technique for transplanting Spirit Medicine with damaged spiritual energies into divine earth, using specially made nutrients to restore part of the spiritual energy.

Shen Xuan waited for a while.

Seeing no one willing to trade, he spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, may I inspect the Colorful Spirit Flower in your possession?"

"Feel free to observe, Daoist."

The short-haired cultivator handed the Colorful Spirit Flower over.

Shen Xuan examined it carefully.

The root and stem were damaged, but not completely severed.

It should be transplantable and repairable.

Shen Xuan nodded and began negotiating with the short-haired cultivator.

Both communicated via Divine Soul Transmission.

The Gold Attribute top-grade Magical Treasure and complete Talisman Treasure that the short-haired cultivator wanted, Shen Xuan didn’t have.

He had a wealth of treasures.

But they were all not to be revealed.

Even the Foundation Establishment Pill he refined was unsuitable for this occasion.

Although the two communicated via Divine Soul Transmission.

After finalizing the deal, they placed the items in a Storage Pouch.

Theoretically, only the parties involved in the trade would know.

In reality, Shen Xuan believed that nothing happening in this great hall escaped the ears of True Master Lu.

True Master Lu was just a family True Master.

Even though he comprehended a Divine Power, his combat power was likely somewhat inferior to that of the Sect True Pill True Masters.

Shen Xuan had the confidence to escape safely from him.

However, there was no need to seek trouble.

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment.

He took out a stack of fine-quality poison talismans and placed them into the Storage Pouch.

Handing it over to the short-haired cultivator.

His Divine Sense swept over the Storage Pouch.

"Daoist, inside are two kinds of fine-quality, highly poisonous talismans, seventy-two in total, enough to poison any Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

Beside him, Shen Xuan’s Divine Soul Transmission came.

A few days ago, he inadvertently hunted a Silver Hook Sea Snake in the Star Sea.

Using its Essence Blood, he crafted some Silver Hook Poison Talismans.

As for the stonefish, in the deep sea, they are relatively common.

Shen Xuan occasionally for leisure, made some Stonefish Poison Talismans.

With his current Talisman Dao proficiency, he achieved a success rate of nine out of ten, with a fine-quality rate as high as seventy percent.

In order to trade for the Purple-Red Accompanying Colorful Spirit Flower, Shen Xuan offered all fine-quality poison talismans, with full sincerity.
