Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 506: Returning the Favor

Accompanying Master Mysterious Trace to Flying Dragon Island was also True Master Jade Sun from the Artifact Refining Hall.

It has been ten days since the great sea tide of Flying Dragon Island passed.

The corpses of the Mountain-Carrying Dragon Turtle and the Sea-Covering Flood Dragon were hidden by Shen Xuan in a newly excavated cave mansion deep in the sea.

A thousand fathoms deep.

Even a Golden Core True Master cannot explore his new cave mansion.

Unlike Human Race Cultivators.

A Demon King is a treasure in itself.

Demon Core, Demon Beast Meat, Essence Blood, Demon Beast Materials, all are extremely rare cultivation spiritual objects.

Master Mysterious Trace and True Master Jade Sun came together precisely for the materials from the two Demon King corpses.

Shen Xuan used the great sea tide and water demons attacking the island to kill the Mountain-Carrying Dragon Turtle and Sea-Covering Flood Dragon, paying a significant price in the process.

Using the Perfect Level "Dragon Blood Boiling" cost him two full years of his lifespan!

Fortunately, his lifespan is long.

He can still increase it through breakthroughs in realm, consuming Life-Extending Pills, among other methods.

Not particularly painful.

Everything has a price.

"Dragon Blood Boiling" can greatly boost combat power in a short time but inevitably consumes lifespan.

A True Master with declining vitality will likewise lose lifespan when using Divine Power.

Of course, where there is investment, there is return.

For Shen Xuan, this was the greatest gain since arriving in the Cultivation Realm.

Two Tier Three Demon Kings, heirs of Divine Dragons, with dense bloodlines.

Shen Xuan estimates that many True Masters in the Cyan Cloud Sect don’t possess wealth as abundant as his.

Back then, for a portion of Tiger-Head Flood Dragon Essence Blood, the sect needed to hold a True Master conference to decide.

Considering Shen Xuan’s merits, the sect lowered the threshold to exchange it to him.

That was also the sect’s only portion of Tier Three Water Attribute Demon King Essence Blood.

Thinking this way, it’s understandable why Sect Leader Master Mysterious Trace and Master Jade Sun personally came.

The value of spiritual objects differs depending on whose hands they are in.

In the hands of ordinary loose cultivators, even at the level of True Pill True Master, Tier Three Demon King corpses are pathways to death.

In the hands of major sect cultivators like Shen Xuan, despite their high personal combat power, they will still attract the prying eyes of many ill-intentioned people.

"Man dies for wealth, island dies for food."

For the sake of profit, many people can even betray their closest kin.

But if it’s in the hands of a Golden Core True Master like Master Mysterious Trace, there is no problem.

He came this time for the dragon scales of the Sea-Covering Flood Dragon and the turtle shell of the Mountain-Carrying Dragon Turtle.

These two demon beast materials can both be refined into extraordinary tier defensive spiritual artifacts.

Within the Island Master’s cave mansion on Flying Dragon Island, the fragrance of spirit tea lingered.​​

Master Mysterious Trace sipped his cold leaf Spirit Tea lightly, his gaze fixed on Shen Xuan, and calmly expressed his purpose for coming.

The sect will trade the dragon scales and turtle shell with Shen Xuan, with True Master Jade Sun personally refining them into dozens of dragon scale armor and dragon turtle shields.

As the quantity is high, the tier might be lowered, likely reaching the standard of low tier spiritual artifacts.

However, for Fake Pill True Masters, these are still precious defensive spiritual artifacts.

At this moment, during the war between the sects of Yan and Song countries, Song Country is gradually showing its disadvantage.

With these dragon scale armor and dragon turtle shields, the Fake Pill True Masters of Cyan Cloud Sect who participate in the war will have enhanced defense abilities, increasing their chances of survival significantly.

Shen Xuan greatly admired Master Mysterious Trace’s strategic planning.

Thus, Master Mysterious Trace can gain the support of these Fake Pill True Masters.

After all, he brought them tangible benefits.

"Shen Xuan, for your sake, I even stole the Sect’s Foundational Pill."

Master Mysterious Trace took out a medicine bottle.

As the bottle was opened, gold light flowed.

A Golden Transformation Pill, the size of a dragon eye, with pill patterns swirling like a dragon, quietly lay within.

The medicinal power is extremely pure, infinitely close to top grade!

Shen Xuan took a deep breath.

From the depths of his divine soul, waves of comfort emanated.

With a calm expression and clarity in his heart, Shen Xuan smiled and said: "Sect Master Uncle has ordered, the disciple will surely comply."

Upon hearing Shen Xuan agree readily, both Master Mysterious Trace and True Master Jade Sun sighed in relief.

They both knew that this Shen Xuan before them was not an easy person to deal with.

During peacetime, trading dragon scales and turtle shell for a near-top-grade Golden Transformation Pill is considered a fair exchange.

Yet now, with the sect war between Yan and Song countries, these high-tier defensive materials like dragon scales and turtle shell are nowhere to be purchased.

Major sects absolutely won’t sell them externally, only accepting barters for equally precious heavenly and earthly treasures.

Moreover, their price has surged to an unimaginable number, tripled or quadrupled the original price.

For the sect, the role a top-grade Golden Transformation Pill can play is far less than these dragon scales and turtle shells.

These are thirty or so defensive spiritual artifacts that can enhance the combat power of over a dozen Fake Pill True Masters.

Not exaggerating to say.

Once equipped with dragon scale armor and dragon turtle shields, a typical Fake Pill True Master’s combat power could boost by over thirty percent.

Even facing True Pill True Masters, they can escape unscathed.

Currently, there aren’t many True Pill True Masters partaking.

All are newly advanced True Pill True Masters from various sects. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

As the sect war between Yan and Song countries escalates, True Pill True Masters from each sect, and even Golden Core True Masters, will eventually join in.

Unless one side surrenders in defeat and negotiate for peace by ceding territory.

Not until the point of devastating defeat, unable to continue.

No sect in Yan and Song countries dares to surrender in defeat first.

While dragon scales and turtle shells are extremely important to Cyan Cloud Sect, they were mere trifles for Shen Xuan.

He already possesses Purple Gold True Water Seal and Ice Soul Divine Sword.

In his Dantian, there is also a genuine spiritual treasure, the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus.

Not only can it assist a cultivator in forming Nascent Soul.

Its protective defensive effect is also rare in the world.

Shen Xuan has never had the chance to use it.

No need to further refine defensive spiritual artifacts.

Master Mysterious Trace rarely spoke.

He brought the equivalently valued Golden Transformation Pill.

Shen Xuan, upon returning to the sect, promised his allegiance to Master Mysterious Trace.

Would not break his word unless absolutely necessary.

Shen Xuan personally served tea to Master Mysterious Trace and True Master Jade Sun.

"Sect Master Uncle, it is our duty to work for the sect, let me ask a small request, may I?"

Master Mysterious Trace took a sip of Spirit Tea, his smile unchanged.

"Speak."

Shen Xuan took out Ice Soul Divine Sword and Xiao Jinsong’s Flying Sword Spiritual Artifact, placing them together.

"I wish to ask Master Jade Sun to help amalgamate these two swords."

Currently, Shen Xuan can wield the Purple Gold True Water Seal.

He feels he should also be able to wield the elevated Ice Soul Divine Sword.

Nourished for nearly a hundred years, Ice Soul Divine Sword is a Tier Two Top Grade Magical Treasure.

Without reaching the Spiritual Artifact level, its power is insufficient when used.

Mysterious Trace True Master did not express his opinion but looked toward True Master Jade Sun.

"Junior Brother Jade Sun, what do you think?"

True Master Jade Sun chuckled softly.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, we can’t let the youngsters laugh at us. I’ll take on this task."

Mysterious Trace True Master nodded: "Thank you, Junior Brother Jade Sun!"

At this point, the sect transaction was completed.

Mysterious Trace True Master nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

The purpose of this trip was achieved, and far more smoothly than expected.

What remained was the private transaction between True Master Jade Sun and Shen Xuan.

The Mountain-Turtle’s armor was traded in the sect transaction,

but the Flood Dragon had many valuable materials.

Shen Xuan kept the Flood Dragon Pill, Essence Blood, Reverse Scale, and Dragon Meat for future use.

The remaining Flood Dragon Sinews, Horn, Eyes, and Bones could all be used to refine Spiritual Artifacts.

True Master Jade Sun had come for these items.

Shen Xuan was quite courteous.

He entrusted all of them to True Master Jade Sun.

When True Master Jade Sun finishes refining the Spiritual Artifacts, he will select the Immortal Binding Rope, primarily made from Flood Dragon Sinews.

The remaining materials will serve as True Master Jade Sun’s reward.

...

Mysterious Trace True Master and True Master Jade Sun rested on Flying Dragon Island.

They met with sect cultivators and some Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators on Flying Dragon Island to encourage and motivate them.

Shen Xuan left the island, sneaking into the deep-sea cave mansion, where he processed the Flood Dragon and Mountain-Turtle thoroughly.

He sorted and stored the Flood Dragon Pill, Reverse Scale, Dragon Meat, Turtle Pill, Turtle Meat, and Essence Blood respectively.

He traded the Dragon Scales and Turtle Armor to the sect in exchange for a nearly high-quality Golden Transformation Pill.

The remaining Flood Dragon Sinews, Horn, Eyes, Bones, and Turtle Bones were all given to True Master Jade Sun.

Shen Xuan took out the Ice Soul Divine Sword and the Spiritual Flying Sword, handing them to True Master Jade Sun, urging him to quickly integrate and elevate their rank.

Ten days later, Mysterious Trace True Master and True Master Jade Sun departed.

Shen Xuan escorted them to the port.

Before leaving, Mysterious Trace True Master gently patted Shen Xuan on the shoulder.

"Shen Xuan, don’t worry. If you form your Core, I’ll personally protect you."

Shen Xuan appeared immensely grateful.

But in his heart, he had long rejected this plan.

True Master Jade Sun wore a smile on his face.

This trip brought him great rewards.

The materials from the Demon Beast that Shen Xuan gave him were enough for him to refine several Spiritual Artifacts to awe the sect.

"In half a year, I’ll have Junior Brother Wei Chen deliver your Divine Sword."

"Thank you, Uncle Jade Sun,"

The Cyan Cloud Sect does not strictly follow formal addresses by lineage.

If not from the same bloodline, they address each other by realm cultivation.

True Master Wei Chen is a Fake Pill True Master.

True Master Jade Sun called him Junior Brother.

And Shen Xuan remains a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

It was only proper for him to address True Master Jade Sun as Uncle.

After Shen Xuan forms his Core,

he and True Master Jade Sun will address each other as senior brothers.

Mysterious Trace True Master and True Master Jade Sun transformed into Escape Light, soaring away and disappearing in an instant.

...

In the days that followed, Shen Xuan continued his secluded cultivation.

Occasionally, Xiao Changbing would personally deliver an Information Jade Scroll.

It contained detailed accounts of his management of Flying Dragon Island affairs.

By this time, Shen Xuan rarely emerged.

Often, Su Xue’Er would be the one to receive him.

After the sea tides receded, more and more Loose Cultivators lingered on Flying Dragon Island.

Many who initially stayed temporarily did not leave.

Instead, they invited friends, attracting numerous Loose Cultivators to reside.

Xiao Changbing, along with six stewards, recruited Loose Cultivators, designating many low-tier cultivator residences.

Despite this, the Market on Flying Dragon Island was still bustling.

In the surrounding sea regions,

Flying Dragon Island is the largest Spirit Island.

Not only does it have the most variety and number of Pill Talismans Array Artifacts, but they are also the cheapest.

Most importantly, the market security on Flying Dragon Island is the best.

Fair trade, free commerce, ensuring cultivators’ safety.

No one dares to cause trouble here.

No matter who they are, entering Flying Dragon Island transforms them into good cultivators.

Those who aren’t good cultivators and cause trouble on Flying Dragon Island, once caught by the Law Enforcement Team, are publicly tried and severely punished.

The gravely serious are directly killed.

There’s no regard for anyone’s connections.

And no one dares to speak on anyone’s behalf on Flying Dragon Island.

Business at the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, after an intense boom, didn’t completely cool down.

They continued to expand, building upscale restaurants and teahouses.

Many cultivators from nearby Spirit Islands loaded their goods, transported them to the Flying Dragon Island Market, for trade and sale.

Then, with the Spirit Stones they received, they purchased various Pill Talismans Array Artifacts in the Market.

Some even visited the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion to broaden their horizons.

Or visited the gambling house to try their luck.

On Flying Dragon Island, no matter how many Spirit Stones you earn or spend, you can be absolutely assured.

The Cyan Cloud Sect backs Flying Dragon Island, ensuring fairness and safety.

In no time, Flying Dragon Island flourished, everything awaited to be built, and Xiao Changbing was extremely busy.

The Island Master, intent on forming his Core, didn’t want to spend any energy on Flying Dragon Island affairs at all.

Xiao Changbing, as Deputy Island Master, fulfilled the Island Master’s duties.

Though he seemed busy and worn out, he actually enjoyed it.

"How wonderful it would be if the Island Master stayed on Flying Dragon Island always!"

Xiao Changbing thought wistfully.

He wasn’t the only one who thought so.

Chu Duanlang, Lin Zhongyue, five Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, six sect stewards, and the vast majority of Loose Cultivators on Flying Dragon Island shared his sentiment.

Only Ding Yijin wished Shen Xuan would return to the Cyan Cloud Sect sooner.

He wanted to introduce the newly advanced Foundation Establishment Ding Lingchong from the Ding Family to Shen Xuan and seek his guidance.
