Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 355: Blinded by Greed

Shen Xuan formed a spell with his hands, guiding the Spiritual Qi from Luoxia Lake, condensing it into a mass, and sprinkling it onto the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse’s body.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse greatly benefited, its wings fluttering rapidly, hooves suspended in mid-air, its body gradually growing by fifty percent, reaching eight feet high.

After an incense stick’s worth of time, the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse stopped absorbing Spiritual Qi and Moonlight Essence, starting to roar uneasily.

It was eager to break free from the shackles of its body but lacked sufficient power to do so, which made it angry and restless.

"Calm down!"

Shen Xuan soothed the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse.

Then, he took out an exquisite jade bottle containing precious Emperor’s Liquid.

"Go!"

With a virtual tap of his finger, strands of golden light shot out from the jade bottle, sprinkling onto the body of the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse.

The previously anxious Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, covered by the golden light of the Emperor’s Liquid, trembled violently, soon becoming quiet.

The next moment.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse seemed to be infused with a growth hormone, becoming vibrant, its body continuing to mutate and evolve.

Shen Xuan lightly patted the head of the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, pure Spiritual Power from the Divine Hidden Sea Technique flowed through its veins, condensing into a small Water Attribute Demon Core, permeating throughout the horse’s body.

This was a clever method developed by Shen Xuan himself.

Using pure Spiritual Power from the Divine Hidden Sea Technique to guide Water Attribute Demon Beasts to gather Demon Power and form a Demon Core, thereby breaking through and advancing.

However, this method can only be used on Tier One Water Attribute Demon Beasts.

It requires the absolute trust and obedience of the Demon Beast to succeed.

Seeing the preliminary formation of the Demon Core, Shen Xuan cast spells again.

Concentrating Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Water of Luoxia Lake, forming thousands of Dao Rhyme Water Lotuses, which fell on the body of the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse.

This lasted for a full hour.

An entire bottle of Emperor’s Liquid was used.

Shen Xuan’s spiritual power was depleted by half.

Until this moment.

The silent Silver-Horned Celestial Horse suddenly raised its head and let out a long cry.

Its body emitted a violent wave of demon energy, milky white demon energy soared into the sky.

The wind was rising, clouds were surging, the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse soared into the sky, its silver horn shining brightly.

Shen Xuan slowly withdrew his power, swallowed two drops of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk, restoring forty percent of his spiritual power.

Maintaining ninety percent of his spiritual power.

It wasn’t easy!

At the Spirit Vein beside Luoxia Lake.

An entire bottle of Emperor’s Liquid used up, half of his Spiritual Power from the Divine Hidden Sea Technique depleted.

Working hard for three hours, finally helping the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse successfully advance to Tier Two.

It seems that demon beasts advancing is more challenging than human race cultivators.

The commotion of the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse’s breakthrough was quite large.

Luckily, there were dozens of Cyan Ice Walls isolating divine sense and vision.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble might have been attracted.

Shen Xuan didn’t expect assistance from the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse in battle.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse had the bloodline of the Divine Beast Celestial Horse, wings on its back, naturally gifted with divine power for soaring clouds and mist, making it an excellent mount.

Spirit Beasts are different from Corpse Beasts.

Corpse Beasts may appear mighty, but in flight, Shen Xuan still had to separate the power of the Divine Soul to control them.

Whereas Spirit Beasts, can fly freely, saving time and effort.

Shen Xuan gazed at the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse flying leisurely in the sky, feeling joyful.

"I’ll give you a name, let’s call you Fei Xue!"

Shen Xuan sent words through Divine Soul Transmission.

He had raised the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse for over ten years but never signed a master-servant soul contract.

Shen Xuan found it bothersome.

That kind of master-servant soul contract seemed to guarantee the cultivator’s status, ensuring absolute obedience from the spirit beast.

In reality, after advancing, the spirit beast would develop intelligence, be aware of the situation, and develop a hidden grudge against the cultivator.

This would be detrimental to the spirit beast’s growth.

As long as one has absolute power, there is no worry about spirit beasts not obeying orders.

Shen Xuan had the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse descend, calming its demon energy, solidifying its realm.

He also sat cross-legged to adjust his body to its optimal state.

At this moment, under the Purple Essence Divine Wood.

Li Yingying was still solidifying her Spirit Body.

Wu Wenping and Wang Haibo chatted idly.

The soaring demon energy when the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse broke through inevitably leaked out, catching Wu Wenping and Wang Haibo’s attention.

"What is this?"

"A demon beast breaking through?"

The two exchanged glances.

Then they both looked towards Shen Xuan’s direction.

Over there, faint cyan light, covering the area, preventing them from observing the specific situation inside.

"Senior brother, judging by this phenomenon, that loose cultivator’s Celestial Horse Spirit Beast has broken through to Tier Two?"

Wang Haibo said with a face full of envy.

This was a Tier Two spirit beast.

And a Celestial Horse, a spirit beast skilled in flying.

"What a pity, that person is mysterious and strong. It’s best not to cause trouble with the junior sister here."

"Senior brother, you and I together, are we not afraid of a fifth-layer Foundation Establishment loose cultivator?"

Wu Wenping pondered for a moment.

Ultimately, he sighed heavily.

"Forget it. It’s better to be cautious when outside."

Actually, he felt a bit tempted.

However, without absolute certainty, he was unwilling to take the risk.

"Oh, what a pity!"

Wang Haibo sighed as well.

"That person has been on guard against us, such a variety of restrictions, who knows the condition of that Celestial Horse after success."

"An Ice Cultivator, that person may not be a loose cultivator."

Wu Wenping said faintly.

"Senior brother, are you implying this person belongs to the seven major sects of Song Country?"

Wu Wenping slowly nodded.

The inheritance of Foundation Establishment Ice Technique is guarded strictly by major sects, common loose cultivators find it difficult to obtain.

"Oh, who knows which sect they belong to! Very secretive, not a good person!"

"Forget it. It’s more important to protect the junior sister in solidifying her Spirit Body."

"Senior brother is spot on."

Wang Haibo unwillingly set the matter aside.

Three days later.

Li Yingying successfully solidified her Spirit Body.

"Thank you Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Wang for guarding Yingying."

"Hmm, what’s happening over there?"

Li Yingying looked towards Shen Xuan’s side.

Layers of cyan ice walls glimmered with cold light under the sun.

"That person’s spirit beast is undergoing an upgrade breakthrough."

"Ah, isn’t that a Tier Two Celestial Horse?"

Li Yingying’s eyes flashed with a hint of greed.

That pure white Silver-Horned Celestial Horse had caught her eye at first glance, and she liked it a lot.

However, that loose cultivator had an arrogant attitude and was hard to talk to.

The two senior brothers were not confident of victory.

She also needed to condense her spirit body, so she had to give up for the time being.

"A Tier Two Celestial Horse, the kind that can soar through clouds and mist."

"If I had such a celestial horse, I would attract everyone’s attention wherever I go. "

Li Yingying thought to herself.

"By the way, hasn’t Senior Brother Zhao come over to join us?"

Senior Brother Zhao is the chief senior brother of their line, a direct disciple of a True Master, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and outstanding in strength.

"He should be nearby. Senior Brother Zhao wants to hunt a Tier Two Middle Grade Fire Attribute demon beast and use its demon core to refine a Violent Flame Pill."

Wu Wenping said calmly.

"I’ll call him over!"

Li Yingying took out a signal flare and launched it into the sky.

The signal flare reached mid-air and bloomed into a pink furnace pattern.

Wu Wenping and Wang Haibo exchanged a glance.

Both knew very well inside.

The little junior sister still wanted that person’s celestial horse spirit beast.

A Tier Two Silver-Horned Celestial Horse was indeed quite rare.

The key was that the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse they saw earlier had no divine soul contract binding.

It looked just like a wild Silver-Horned Celestial Horse.

...

An hour later.

A red escape light came rushing in.

It landed on the ground, revealing a tall figure in a red robe with deep-set eyes.

It was their chief senior brother Zhao Tingwei.

"Little junior sister, Junior Brother Wu, Junior Brother Wang, has anything happened?"

"Senior Brother, Yingying was bullied by someone!"

Li Yingying pouted, looking aggrieved as she said, "A loose cultivator wanted to forcibly take Yingying, and even said he would make Yingying a servant!"

"Senior Brother, you have to stand up for Yingying!"

Zhao Tingwei’s face darkened slightly: "Is there such a thing!"

"Junior Brother Wu, Junior Brother Wang, did you just watch the little junior sister being bullied?"

Wu Wenping smiled wryly, his lips moving slightly as he transmitted the occurrence to Zhao Tingwei via sound.

He emphasized that the other party was an ice cultivator, likely a sect descendant hiding their identity, possessing an extraordinary celestial horse spirit beast seemingly undergoing an upgrade breakthrough.

Zhao Tingwei looked toward Shen Xuan’s side.

"The demon aura is converging, that celestial horse spirit beast has successfully broken through."

Zhao Tingwei’s mind stirred.

A pure-blooded wild celestial horse.

Breaking through to Tier Two.

"You all stay here with the little junior sister, let me go and have a look."

Zhao Tingwei approached the cyan spirit wall.

He gently pointed a finger.

A jet of red flame shot out from his fingertip.

Within a few breaths, it melted through several layers of cyan spirit walls in succession.

"Which fellow daoist is breaking my barrier, what is your intention!"

A loud voice rang in his ears.

Then, all the cyan spirit walls disappeared, turning into translucent dark ice fish swimming around a cultivator in green.

"I am Zhao Tingwei from Medicine God Valley."

"Fellow Daoist Shen harbors ill intentions toward my junior sister, won’t you give Zhao an explanation?"

Zhao Tingwei noticed that Shen Xuan was only at Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, and felt assured, speaking angrily.

No matter the truth, it was best to accuse the other party of causing trouble first.

He glanced aside.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse was strolling leisurely, indeed exceptionally majestic.

Sensing the demon aura emanating from its body, it was indeed Tier Two Lower Grade, having just undergone a successful breakthrough.

What lit up his eyes.

The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse did not have a divine soul contract bound.

This meant he could imprint a master-servant divine soul brand on the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, binding it as his spirit beast.

Zhao Tingwei’s divine sense swept over Shen Xuan without any delicacy.

"Hand over your storage pouch and magical artifact, and Zhao will be merciful and spare your life!"

"Otherwise, today is the day of your demise."

Zhao Tingwei made up his mind, saying coldly.

Secretly clasping a sword technique in his hand, he summoned the Lifebound Flying Sword Treasure Silent Burning Sword.

This Silent Burning Sword was forged from celestial meteorite iron, nurturing a Heaven-Burning Anomalous Flame, rumored to incinerate all things, nothing it couldn’t burn.

Even among the core formation seeds of Medicine God Valley, Zhao Tingwei ranked among the top.

He thought to himself that with his formidable strength, aided by the divine sword anomalous flame, against a small cultivator at Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, even if he were a sect descendant, victory was certain.

Behind him, he had three fellow sect brothers and sisters supporting him.

If this person was unwilling to reveal their identity, he would pretend not to know.

Once they handed over their magical artifacts and storage pouch, he would strike a thunderous blow to annihilate them.

That Tier Two Celestial Horse Spirit Beast would fall into his hands.

Shen Xuan easily saw through Zhao Tingwei’s calculations.

Cynically witnessing so many high and mighty personas fall in his past life.

Shen Xuan already understood one thing.

Often, the more despicable and unscrupulous a person is, the more they rise to prominence.

These so-called sect descendants, their acting skills were quite average.

Even while engaging in coercion and plundering, they couldn’t be bothered to find a reasonable excuse.

"Zhao Tingwei, why push this?"

"I was in quite a good mood today."

"Why do you insist on forcing my hand?"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

"Out of respect for Medicine God Valley, hand over your storage pouch and magical artifacts, and Shen will be merciful and spare your life."

"Oh, and that of your three junior brothers and sisters as well!"

Shen Xuan said nonchalantly.

"How daring! Courting death!"

Zhao Tingwei shouted angrily.

He immediately manipulated the Silent Burning Sword, transforming it into a scorching Heaven-Burning Flame, shooting straight towards Shen Xuan!
