Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 470: Regional Overlord

Ultimately, the Six Treasures Heart Protecting Pill taken out by the Zhenhai King was traded by another Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator.

Shen Xuan still thought that True Master Lu would appear last and take out more precious treasures.

Both the Core Formation Spiritual Objects and the Soul-Protecting Pill have been taken out.

With True Master Lu’s status and position, the treasures he would present must be more valuable than these two.

Unexpectedly, True Master Lu did not take out anything, directly announcing the meeting adjourned.

With Zhenhai King and Chang Sheng Ship Master leading, everyone exited one after another.

The grand hall was left only with Shen Xuan and True Master Lu.

True Master Lu approached Shen Xuan, his powerful Divine Sense scanning repeatedly.

For a while, neither spoke.

The atmosphere seemed somewhat heavy.

Shen Xuan stood with his back straight, like a stone sculpture.

His aura was restrained, calm and unruffled.

Under the pressure of the True Pill True Master, he remained as calm as the sea.

"You’re not afraid of me."

Eventually, True Master Lu spoke first.

"Why aren’t you afraid of me?"

Shen Xuan retorted, "Why should I be afraid of you?"

Indeed, he was not afraid of True Master Lu.

Fighting was futile.

It seemed not difficult to retreat entirely.

The sense of oppression from True Master Lu wasn’t as strong as from True Master Ling Xiao and True Master Cold Jade.

Even compared to True Master Guang Wei, he was somewhat lacking.

The family True Pill True Master, even with the Golden Core inheritance.

Compared to the sect’s True Pill True Master, there was still a gap.

True Master Lu nodded, "You must be the Talisman Master Shen Fei mentioned by the Sea Dragon King."

"Yes. Junior Shen Fei, greets True Master Lu."

Shen Xuan removed his mask, his facial muscles twisted, changing from a sinister old cultivator back to the appearance of Shen Fei.

"He has been extensively purchasing demon cores and life fruits, various medicinal materials, and selling Foundation Establishment Pills at high prices externally."

"Is the pill master behind this you?"

Shen Xuan remained silent.

Not speaking was equivalent to consent.

"Just now, your list of medicines had some main ingredients for the Life Extension Pill. Can you refine the Life Extension Pill?"

The Life Extension Pill is a Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Pill.

One Life Extension Pill can extend the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator by ten years.

Its value greatly exceeds that of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

It probably costs a hundred thousand Spirit Stones per pill.

Moreover, it is very hard to buy.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators can take at most three Life Extension Pills.

Approximately able to extend twenty years of lifespan.

Generally used by late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Increasing lifespan can delay blood and energy aging.

For Foundation Establishment Cultivators who aim to attack the Inner Core, it is very significant.

"I have the pill formula and inheritance, want to try."

"Try?"

True Master Lu said in a deep voice, "Let’s be clear, Shen Fei, I don’t care who you are or what your background is. For the sake of Sea Dragon King, I won’t trouble you."

"If you create waves here, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

After speaking, True Master Lu stared at Shen Xuan.

The gleam in his eyes was sharp, with a chilling intent.

Shen Xuan bowed in salute.

"True Master Lu, I have no interest in power struggles; I just want to cultivate quietly."

"I am willing to cooperate with the Lu Family to refine the Life Extension Pill."

"For each batch of Life Extension Pill materials, I am willing to exchange two Life Extension Pills."

Upon hearing this, True Master Lu withdrew his momentum.

"A pill success rate of only 30%?"

Shen Xuan smiled wryly.

"True Master Lu, this is a Longevity Spirit Pill."

"Moreover, this is a Water Technique Spirit Pill; the medicinal effect is one or two points better than Fire Technique Spirit Pill. It’s slightly more tedious to refine."

"True Master Lu, please let me earn some labor fees."

True Master Lu lightly patted his forehead, smiling and said, "Oh, I’m confused!"

"Talisman Master Shen is right!"

You’re not confused at all!

Changed face immediately upon hearing there’s profit.

No regard for the status and position of a True Master.

This is the nature of a high-ranking person.

Truly achieving "no self in the mind," all based on interests.

Shen Xuan pondered and said, "To cooperate with the Lu Family for alchemy, I have a request."

True Master Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, feel free to speak."

"I currently reside on Shenlong Island, a sub-island of the Chen Family. If the sects from Yan Country dispatch True Masters to deal with me, please help block them."

True Master Lu was silent.

After a while, he said softly, "I will do my best."

"Doing your best is enough."

Shen Xuan did not force it.

What he wanted was just an attitude from True Master Lu.

If he really wanted True Master Lu to oppose the Yan Country sect True Masters.

It was absolutely impossible.

Even if True Master Lu agreed readily.

Shen Xuan would not believe it.

True Master Lu suggested, "Actually, Mr. Shen could relocate to Baiyun Immortal City. There, I can guarantee Mr. Shen’s safety."

Shen Xuan said gratefully, "Thank you, True Master Lu. I prefer living on the island."

How foolish to voluntarily settle in Baiyun Immortal City.

That would be truly stepping into the tiger’s den.

With the city protection array’s assistance, True Master Lu’s combat power could surpass a Golden Core True Master.

Once he harbored malicious intent toward Shen Xuan.

It would be hard for him to escape.

"For the remaining herbs, please, True Master Lu, make an effort to help collect them. I am willing to trade with Foundation Establishment Pills and Life Extension Pills."

"No problem!"

True Master Lu asked with concern, "Do you want to establish a Spirit Contract and swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao?"

Shen Xuan shook his head, "No need. I trust True Master Lu."

The two discussed the details of cooperation.

To show sincerity, True Master Lu independently collected Life Extension Pill spiritual medicine, sent to Chunfeng Island first.

Once Shen Xuan refined the Spiritual Pill, he then exchanged spiritual medicine for the next batch.

The two finalized the cooperation details.

Shen Xuan left the hall, full of joy.

After his figure disappeared.

An apparition appeared in the void.

It was the Black Robe Demon Sovereign just now.

"True Master Lu, can you tell this person’s background?"

"He is likely a Core Formation Seed from the seven sects of Song Country, here for secluded cultivation."

"Forget it, we can discuss this later. True Master Lu, have you considered the matter of affiliating with the Hehuan Sect?"

True Master Lu shook his head, "This matter is significant, not something I can decide alone. Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, please give me more time."

Demon Sovereign Xuan Ye sighed.

"True Master Lu, we are close friends. I will speak to you as a century-old friend and advise you."

"Indecisiveness leads to chaos. The five Sects of Yan Country won’t tolerate you claiming dominion in Wuling County for long."

"The consolidation of the Star Sea by the True Intent Sect is just the beginning."

"The Hehuan Sect has reliable information. Next, the Danxia Sect will consolidate the Chaotic Rock Sea, and the Extreme Sword Gate will consolidate the Fairy Isles."

"If they all submit to the Sect, your Lu Family will just be an ordinary True Pill family, and decline is only a matter of time."

True Master Lu sighed deeply. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He clasped his hands respectfully towards Demon Sovereign Xuan Ye.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye’s kindness, Lu appreciates."

"Please grant me some more time to plan carefully. No matter what, I will provide an explanation to the Hehuan Sect. How about that?"

"Alright. I will first return to the Sect and help you delay for a while. True Master Lu, take care of yourself!"

Demon Sovereign Xuan Ye shook his head and said.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye!"

True Master Lu expressed his gratitude with clasped fists.

Demon Sovereign Xuan Ye turned towards the entrance of the great hall.

This time, he was indeed leaving.

After the secret door of the great hall closed.

True Master Lu sat alone on the main seat, deep in thought.

"Prince of the Sea, Peak Master Chang Sheng, Dragon King of the Sea, along with Demon Sovereign Xuan Ye and Pill Master Shen Fei."

"World affairs are like a game of chess; everyone is a pawn. One wrong move leads to the downfall, with the disaster of family annihilation!"

True Master Lu sighed softly, lost in contemplation.

...

Outside the secret hall.

As soon as Shen Xuan emerged, he was stopped by Zhu Yingying.

"Brother-in-law!"

Shen Xuan paused and slowly turned around.

Zhu Yingying stood before him, her face veiled in white.

Her clear eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Did you purposely wait here for me?"

"Yes! Brother-in-law, it’s been a long time. Let’s find a place to sit."

"Alright. Let’s talk after leaving the Ghost Market."

The two of them, one following the other, left the Wind Spirit Ghost Market.

Shen Xuan summoned a flying ship and flew to a secluded mountain area.

After setting up an illusion array and a killing array nearby, Shen Xuan finally took off his mask.

Opposite him, Zhu Yingying had already removed her veil.

A woman in her seventies still had the appearance of an alluring maiden; her figure graceful, skin as white jade; her face smooth and radiant, with a slight smile full of charm and mature beauty.

"Brother-in-law, you look so awful like that!"

Zhu Yingying said with a face full of disdain.

Shen Xuan covered his face with a long sleeve, instantly reverting from an austere old cultivator back to his original appearance.

"You..."

"Is this your true form?"

In front of Zhu Yingying, Shen Xuan appeared elegant, cultured, like a refined gentleman from mundane society, making Zhu Yingying somewhat entranced.

After a dozen breaths.

Zhu Yingying suddenly snapped out of it.

"No, Shen Xuan, you’re almost a hundred and forty years old. How could you look so young!"

"Yingying wants to see your true form!"

Shen Xuan smiled gently.

"This is indeed my true form."

"Ah!"

Zhu Yingying extended her slender jade finger, gently touching Shen Xuan’s face.

As soon as she touched it.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, as if electrified.

Zhu Yingying couldn’t help but embrace him.

Tightly holding Shen Xuan.

The softness and warmth, along with a familiar fragrance, made Shen Xuan instinctively excited.

"Yingying, you..."

Before he could finish speaking.

The robes were lightly undone.

Her delicate chest as white as silver, her body as smooth as snow.

The earth as bed and the sky as blanket, the gentle breeze blew, the moonlight of the past entered into old dreams.

Afterward.

Zhu Yingying donned her robes, took out a copper mirror, and tidied her cloud-like hair.

In the copper mirror, her jade-like face was full of fatigue.

Just now, she had used countless techniques and skills.

The one who finally called to stop was herself.

In the copper mirror, Shen Xuan’s figure could faintly be seen.

His posture was upright, his demeanor calm.

It was as if the whirlwind just now was merely a small trial for him, easily manageable.

This made Zhu Yingying secretly amazed.

Unaware of what encounters this convenient brother-in-law had.

His strength remained unfathomable.

Especially his body, extremely robust, vigorous like a tiger, full of vitality, akin to a young man in his prime, leaving Zhu Yingying astounded, struggling to cope.

"Brother-in-law, how have you been these years?"

Zhu Yingying nestled in Shen Xuan’s embrace and softly asked.

"Quite well. How about you?"

Shen Xuan looked up at the sky.

The waning moon was like a hook, occasionally hidden among the clouds.

The world is like a dream.

He hadn’t expected that he would encounter Zhu Yingying.

Once close and familiar, knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses...

Years later, upon reunification, it’s easy to reignite the flames of war and revisit past passionate times.

This is almost instinctual.

"Just the same."

"Oh, I once met your mother again later on, even fought side by side with her. How is she now?"

Zhu Yingying slowly closed her eyes.

Two teardrops quietly slipped down.

"She failed Core Formation and perished."

"I’m sorry."

Shen Xuan sighed.

Demon cultivators forming cores is far more perilous than spirit cultivators.

If they fail, it’s easy for the demon techniques to backfire, leading to death and obliteration.

"Yingying, how did you discover my identity?"

"Guess."

After a slight consideration, Shen Xuan realized the issue at hand.

"Did you trade with that Buddhist cultivator?"

"Smart! He was selling me a poison talisman. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was you."

Shen Xuan knew that the short-haired tribulation cultivator was unreliable.

Years ago, Zhu Yingying was plotted against because of his poison talisman.

"By the way, Yingying, why are you here?"

"Who is the fake pill demon sovereign who appeared in the secret hall?"

Zhu Yingying suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Shen Xuan.

"That person is Demon Sovereign Xuan Ye from the Hehuan Sect."

"Brother-in-law, can you find a way to help Yingying get rid of him?"
