Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 486: Flood Dragon Reverse Scale

Shen Xuan smiled faintly and took out more than a dozen Beast Bags, opening them one by one.

Ice Soul Dragon Fish, Giant-toothed Demon Shark, Big-headed Wolf Fish, Red-Striped Carp, Silver Shuttle Wolf Fish, Shadow Octopus...

Although these are common Water Demons in the East Sea.

They are all fully mature, large in size, each reaching Tier Two Upper Grade.

These Water Demons were hunted by Shen Xuan in the depths of the Sea of Stars after ten years of searching.

Like the Big-headed Wolf Fish.

Generally, it’s only Tier Two Lower Grade.

The Big-headed Wolf Fish Shen Xuan took out is two zhang long, twice the size of an ordinary Wolf Fish.

Water Demons have a characteristic.

The longer they live, the larger they grow, the stronger their power, and the higher their grade.

These Tier Two Upper Grade Water Demons had their Talent plundered by Shen Xuan before; their Demon Core’s Essence Blood was not even extracted.

There are also a few other Tier Two Upper Grade Water Demons that Shen Xuan retains for now.

Such as the skillful at hiding Flathead Demon Shark, the gigantic Giant Hard-scaled Perch, and the jade-scaled Big-headed Sea Snake, etc.

At this moment, Shen Xuan is fully refining the Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core.

The Fake Pill Demon King Electric Ray Demon Fish he killed ten years ago, its Demon Core’s Essence Blood has not been refined.

These Tier Two Upper Grade Water Demons, no time either.

Originally, Shen Xuan wanted to take time to refine some Fire Attribute Demon Beasts to enhance his Fire Spirit Root.

There simply is no time.

The Mysterious Jade Talisman has a cooldown period.

Over the years, Shen Xuan has been using the Mysterious Jade Talisman generously, paired with the Nine-Colored Lotus, devouring and refining the True Man False Pill and the Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core.

There’s simply no stopping.

The advancement of Realm Cultivation relies on accumulation over many years.

Even at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, Shen Xuan doesn’t feel secure at all.

He would rather expend Lifespan to increase his Skill Proficiency in "Dragon Blood Boiling" to boost immediate combat power.

Only then he is qualified to stand before the True Master and Demon King.

Shen Xuan took out in one breath twelve complete Tier Two Upper Grade Water Demons.

The Three-tailed Tabby Cat stared with drooling mouth.

"Three-tails King, how about it?"

"I want them! I want them all!"

The Three-tailed Tabby Cat exclaimed.

"What will you trade in exchange?"

Shen Xuan asked.

The Three-tailed Tabby Cat took out a Storage Pouch and dumped all its contents.

Spirit Stones, Demon Stones, Spiritual Objects, Demons, Demon Beast claws, Demon Bird wing bones, various glittering refining materials...

"Do you think these are enough?"

The Three-tailed Tabby Cat asked pitifully.

Shen Xuan showed a bit of disdain.

"Just these? Three-tails King, you’re the renowned Cat King, surely you have more treasures than this."

"Only these."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment, silently calculating in his mind.

"These can only trade for six."

"No, Three-tails wants them all!"

Shen Xuan sighed.

"Three-tails King, exchanging six Water Demons already makes me feel shortchanged. Your treasures aren’t worth that much!"

"I don’t care, not one less!"

Shen Xuan’s face darkened.

"We humans have an old saying, equal exchange. Could it be, you intend to seize by force, Three-tails King?"

As the words fell.

A sudden surge of strong momentum arose from Shen Xuan.

Behind him, the Spirit Cloud transformed, evolving into a greenish Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect over three zhang tall.

"Flood Dragon Dharma Aspect!"

The Howling Moon Fox exclaimed.

"Old Bai, did you teach him your Bai Family’s True Spirit Body Refining Technique?"

Ancestor Bai said gravely, "Twenty years ago, during the minor Beast Tide, I taught him."

"In just twenty years, he’s refined the True Spirit Dharma Aspect?"

The Howling Moon Fox was even more shocked.

"Mr. Shen is our Human Race’s genius, with extraordinary Talent. Not just the True Spirit Dharma Aspect, even the True Spirit Divine Power, is merely a matter of time."

"True Spirit Divine Power..."

The Howling Moon Fox murmured, "That’s impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Shen Xuan said calmly, "The Dao Ancestor said, the Heavenly Dao operates without accumulation, hence everything is formed."

"What does it mean?"

"It means the natural running of the Heavenly Dao without stagnation allows everything to exist. The nature of Body Refining Techniques, Spirit Cultivation, and Demon Cultivation is the same."

"As long as cultivation goes well, it can continuously improve. Above the Dharma Realm is the Divine Power Realm. Above the Divine Power Realm is the Transformation Spirit Realm..."

"Anything is possible."

Hearing this, the Howling Moon Fox was lost in thought.

A moment later.

The Howling Moon Fox turned around to discuss with the Three-tailed Tabby Cat privately.

Soon.

The Howling Moon Fox approached Shen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Shen rarely visits, taking these Water Demons back would be troublesome."

"Here, I have twelve Spirit Pearls to compensate you."

Shen Xuan pondered for a while.

He asked, "Great King Howling Moon, we’ve known each other for years. I want to ask, are you my friend?"

After thinking for a moment, the Howling Moon Fox said, "We are friends."

Shen Xuan glanced at the Three-tailed Tabby Cat pretending to be pitiful.

"Alright. We are friends. Since Great King Howling Moon spoke, I agree with you."

The Howling Moon Fox saluted like a human: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "We humans have an old saying, depend on parents at home, rely on friends away."

"Friends help each other. Great King Howling Moon, do you agree?"

"Indeed! You help me this time. If anything happens, I’ll help you too."

The Three-tailed Tabby Cat nodded in agreement, "Three-tails and Fellow Daoist Shen are also friends. I’ll help you too!"

"Alright then. The transaction is settled."

The Howling Moon Fox took out twelve Spirit Pearls and handed them to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan took out a new Storage Pouch to collect the treasures dumped from the Three-tailed Tabby Cat’s Storage Pouch.

The Three-tailed Tabby Cat, after a while, said embarrassedly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, could you lend me those Beast Bags?"

"Sure!"

Shen Xuan readily agreed.

While collecting the Three-tailed Tabby Cat’s treasures, Shen Xuan intentionally touched a half-zhang long crescent-shaped blue scale.

Shen Xuan sensed a very rich Water Spiritual Power.

"Divine Dragon’s reverse scale?"

"No, there can’t be Divine Dragons here. It’s a Flood Dragon’s reverse scale."

The so-called Flood Dragon is still just a Flood Dragon; it merely resembles a dragon and isn’t a true Divine Dragon.

"However, this Flood Dragon scale is extraordinary in quality, far exceeding ordinary Tier Three materials."

If it were someone else, they might use this Flood Dragon scale to refine an excellent Water Technique Spiritual Artifact. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But for Shen Xuan, there’s a better use.

It is to use the skill [Devouring All Things] to directly devour and refine this Flood Dragon scale.

"The spiritual power contained in this piece of Flood Dragon scale is no less than that in a Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core!"

"This transaction was absolutely worth it!"

With this piece of Flood Dragon scale, Shen Xuan made a huge profit.

The rest of the treasures were just the cherry on top.

Actually, there were quite a few good things inside.

There was a wing bone from a demon bird, which was an excellent primary material for refining a flying magical treasure.

There were also a few pieces of turtle shell, which could be used to refine a defensive magical treasure.

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan looked at the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat with a friendlier gaze.

After all, a foodie is easy to deal with.

You just need to satisfy her appetite.

After the transaction was completed.

Everyone entered the cave mansion.

Little demons had already prepared the spirit wine and spirit meat.

The four of them sat opposite each other in pairs.

The Three-Tailed Tabby Cat took out a dragon fish and happily began to tear into it.

After drinking a few cups of spirit wine.

Shen Xuan asked about the expedition team from Medicine God Valley.

"What about the Golden Core True Master! Our Demon Race has powerful beings too!"

The Howling Moon Fox said discontentedly.

She told Shen Xuan.

Five hundred li past the Rainbow Ridge is the territory of the Red Flame Tiger King.

Upon learning that the expedition team from Medicine God Valley was coming.

The Red Flame Tiger King had already agreed to join forces with them to resist.

"It’s nothing more than a three-on-three battle. It’s the same elsewhere."

Shen Xuan understood immediately.

In the end, it’s all about who has the biggest fist.

The one with the biggest fist calls the shots.

Song Country’s sects have limited Tier Three Spiritual Land, so they expand into the Wilderness.

Inside, there are quite a few Tier Three Spiritual Lands that haven’t been developed.

However, the Demon Kings aren’t keen on having Human Race Cultivators as neighbors.

Over time, Human Race Cultivators would certainly shrink their living space.

Even if peaceful coexistence were possible.

Like the Bai Family Stronghold.

They would also need to occasionally launch a beast tide to reduce the Human Race population.

Otherwise, it would affect the ecosystem of the Wilderness.

The number of Demon Beasts would steadily decrease, making it unsustainable.

Previously, sects’ expeditions were only on the outskirts of the Wilderness.

This didn’t affect the interior regions of the Wilderness.

But now, it’s different.

New outposts are being established near the domains of the Demon Kings and developed into Immortal Cities.

Conflicts with the Demon Kings are sure to arise in the future.

"The Red Flame Tiger King? That being said, he could indeed rival a Golden Core True Master."

Shen Xuan took a sip of spirit wine and curiously asked, "Will you employ the ’Tian Ji horse racing strategy’?"

The Howling Moon Fox was taken aback.

Shen Xuan simply explained the concept of the Tian Ji horse racing strategy.

Using the weakest to fight the opponent’s strongest, losing the first round.

Then having the remaining two defeat the opponent’s slightly weaker two.

The Howling Moon Fox shook her head, "No."

"The Red Flame Tiger King would only face the Golden Core True Master."

Shen Xuan understood.

The Demon Kings differ from Human Race Cultivators.

They don’t like to go around in circles.

They value their status and position greatly.

"That would be troublesome! You don’t have a guaranteed victory."

"Yes, we do!"

The Three-Tailed Tabby Cat interjected, "If Fellow Daoist Red Flame wins one round, Fellow Daoist Howling Moon wins another, it doesn’t matter even if I lose!"

The Howling Moon Fox smacked the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat on the head.

"Eat your fish! Don’t disturb me and Fellow Daoist Shen discussing serious matters!"

Shen Xuan thought for a moment, then asked, "Why doesn’t Fellow Daoist Three-Tailed have confidence?"

"She’s afraid of fire. If she could ambush them, she’d have a better chance of winning."

"Most of the Cultivators from Medicine God Valley specialize in Fire Techniques. If we could..."

Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

He was genuinely willing to help the Demon Race side.

He had already thought of ways to increase the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat’s chances of winning.

"Great King Howling Moon, I have a method that can help Great King Three-Tailed defeat the Fire Technique True Master from Medicine God Valley."

"It’s just..."

The Howling Moon Fox, wise beyond comparison, understood Shen Xuan’s meaning.

"This is not a matter for just our two demons. We should invite Great King Red Flame to discuss it together."

"Very well."

The Howling Moon Fox sent out a message.

"Great King Red Flame possesses vast divine powers. The distance of five hundred li, he will cover it quickly. Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Okay!"

While waiting, Shen Xuan inquired about the Demon Realm space.

Previously, the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat had dumped out all the treasures from her Storage Pouch.

There were some Upper Grade Demon Stones and Tier Two Demons.

But there weren’t any particularly rare Demons.

The Howling Moon Fox told him that the Demon Realm space was filled with dense demonic qi, and they hadn’t ventured deeply in three trips.

Although there were some gains, they weren’t significant.

The greatest harvest was placed with the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat.

Shen Xuan’s heart stirred, and he asked, "In the Demon Realm space, are there Demon Flood Dragons or other True Spirit descendents?"

"I know!"

The Three-Tailed Tabby Cat, while stuffing fish into her mouth, exclaimed, "There’s a Demon Flood Dragon inside, and a very powerful one at that."

"I picked up a pretty good Flood Dragon scale there."

Shen Xuan was overjoyed.

Soon, he thought of an important question.

"Did the two Great Kings join forces, and still couldn’t defeat the Demon Flood Dragon?"
