Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 413: Gu Feng Treasure Shop

One year later.

Cold Jade Peak.

Cave Mansion, Practice Room.

Shen Xuan opened his eyes and slowly concluded his practice.

In the Dantian, within the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea, the seven-colored lotus restrained its brilliance, lush and vibrant, swaying with charm.

In the past year, Shen Xuan devoted most of his energy to nurturing the seven-colored lotus.

Now, it has finally fused into one, completely concealing the energy of the seven-colored lotus.

"Truly a Spiritual Treasure Spirit Embryo!"

Shen Xuan sighed lightly.

Currently, during his daily cultivation, the Spiritual Qi absorbed is divided thirty percent to him and seventy percent to the seven-colored lotus.

Seventy percent goes to the seven-colored lotus.

He can only absorb thirty percent.

Thus, Shen Xuan’s consumption during cultivation is more than three times that of others in the same realm.

And this is just the beginning.

Once the seven-colored lotus grows, who knows how much Spiritual Qi it will need!

"So, the higher the realm and cultivation, the less likely you are to act rashly?"

"High-tier cultivators, in magical combat, fight with real money and resources."

"If there’s damage, healing and repair require many rare spiritual objects."

Shen Xuan faintly understood why all parties reached a consensus, forbidding True Masters, Demon Kings, and Demon Lords from casually taking action.

At such a realm and cultivation level.

It’s difficult to finish it with one blow.

If it continues, both sides will suffer.

"Without wealth, the path is severed."

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

Although the seven-colored lotus consumes a lot, the effect is equally significant.

Firstly, the purification effect.

Shen Xuan’s Dao Foundation Spirit Sea, internal organs, meridians throughout the body, bones, and muscles have all been purified by the seven-colored lotus.

Now, Shen Xuan’s Dao Foundation is assuredly Upper Grade.

The purification effect of the seven-colored lotus is much stronger than the sixty Cold Jade Pills he took in the early stage.

Shen Xuan feels like he has been reborn.

It can also strengthen the soul.

Under the reflection of the seven-colored lotus, Shen Xuan’s Divine Soul and Divine Sense have been strengthened.

This enhancement is not apparent immediately but affects subtly over time.

With the passage of time, comparing before and after, one can feel it.

Shen Xuan’s Divine Soul and Divine Sense are comparable to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

They hadn’t strengthened for a long time.

In the past year, Shen Xuan clearly felt that his Divine Soul and Divine Sense had become stronger again.

Approximately one to two percent.

Though not much.

But this is just one year’s effect.

If accumulated over the years, it would be considerable.

As for other effects of the seven-colored lotus, such as exorcism, healing, improving cultivation, and breaking through realms, Shen Xuan has yet to experience them.

Regardless, obtaining the seven-colored lotus as his life-bound Spiritual Treasure is worth any cost.

Moreover, it’s just consuming more Spirit Stones for now.

Shen Xuan visited True Master Cold Jade.

Confirming that the energy of the seven-colored lotus was completely concealed.

Even True Master Cold Jade couldn’t detect it.

Only then did he relax.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even dare step out of Cold Jade Peak.

True Master Cold Jade advised, "Shen Xuan, to be safe, don’t leave the peak for now; consolidate for some days."

"Yes, Master, I was planning the same."

Shen Xuan still has two million Spirit Stones.

No need to worry about cultivation resources for now.

The seven-colored lotus can purify the Dao Foundation and flesh body.

This means Shen Xuan can again use [Devouring All Things] to refine the Spiritual Qi from Demon Beast Meat.

Returning to the Sect, it’s been more than two years.

The Ice Mountain Bear King was long devoured by him.

Tier Two Top Grade, with good meat quality, much better than the invisible Demon Shark.

Unfortunately, acquiring Tier Two Top Grade Water Attribute Demon Beast meat isn’t easy.

The later obtained Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile was refined into a Corpse Beast by him.

Moreover, he isn’t very interested in crocodile meat.

Shen Xuan proposed to True Master Cold Jade.

Requesting her assistance in acquiring a Tier Two Water Attribute Demon Beast.

Ideally, one that is large and has tasty meat.

Shen Xuan openly stated he wants to refine Demon Beast meat to provide spiritual power for the seven-colored lotus.

Otherwise, his cultivation speed will slow down, affecting subsequent breakthrough progress.

He doesn’t need the Demon Core or refining parts.

Only needs Demon Beast Meat and Essence Blood.

True Master Cold Jade agreed.

After leaving the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Shen Xuan visited the Alchemy Room.

With the Moon Soul Jade, Nether Cultivator Li Ruyi’s realm cultivation rapidly recovered.

Half a year ago, broke through to Late Stage of the Soul Foundation in one go.

This also means Li Ruyi’s Netherworld Body solidified somewhat.

Though still unable to perform Exorcism or Summoning Spirits and Commanding Generals.

But can Transform Void into Reality, precisely control Pill Fire, and personally engage in Spirit Pill refinement.

Shen Xuan instructed Lv Zhengying to borrow a Tier Two Upper Grade Fire Technique Pill Furnace from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Unceremoniously left the Cold Jade Pill refining task to Li Ruyi.

Indebted with enormous debt, Li Ruyi doesn’t know how many years of alchemy it will take to repay.

At this moment, Li Ruyi is refining the pill.

Shen Xuan observed for a while.

One set of Cold Jade Pill materials, Li Ruyi refined four pills.

One of them is still of good quality.

His Alchemy Dao skill far surpasses Shen Xuan.

Only lacking Nether Power, somewhat struggling with pill fire control.

Shen Xuan quietly watched Li Ruyi’s pill solidification process, gaining insights and improving his own Alchemy Dao techniques.

Returning to the Cave Mansion.

Shen Xuan sent out a Communication Talisman.

Soon, Lv Zhengying hurried over.

They, along with Gu Jinqin, opened a shop in the Flowing Light Market within the Sect.

Shen Xuan instructed Lv Zhengying that it was time to start a new business venture.

...

Inside Cyan Cloud Sect, Flowing Light Market, main street.

A team of over ten members from the sect, weary from travel, entered the market.

The leading male cultivator emanated an aura, clearly at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Senior Brother, we finally made it back!"

A slightly immature-looking, tall and thin male cultivator behind him spoke with a hint of excitement.

"This time our Purple Qi lineage achieved a great victory over the Corpse Refining Sect demon cultivators in Wuyang County, it’s worthy of celebration!"

Another clever short cultivator chimed in opportunistically.

"Senior Brother, I think Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother make a good point."

A yellow-clad female cultivator in the team softly expressed.

The leading male cultivator nodded slightly at her words.

"Thirteenth Sister has a point. Let’s head to Gathering Immortals Tavern first."

"Senior Brother is wise!"

The group laughed and headed towards Gathering Immortals Tavern.

"Hey, look at this shop..."

An older-looking cultivator in the team pointed to a shop.

There, a mirror-like magical artifact was placed, flashing several large words.

"High price acquisition of various demons, demon treasures, core formation demons, high tier water attribute demon beast essence blood."

The older cultivator asked, "Senior Brother, why not take a quick look inside?"

The leading male cultivator glanced at the yellow-clad female cultivator.

"Let’s go in for a look. It won’t take much time."

"Let’s go and check it out!"

Upon approaching, they discovered the shop’s sign was Gu Feng Treasure Shop.

"Named after Gu Feng, was it opened by Senior Brother Gu Feng?"

The older cultivator muttered to himself.

"Alright, I’ll enter with Second Brother and Thirteenth Sister. You guys go ahead to Gathering Immortals Tavern and order food."

The leading male cultivator said.

"Okay. Senior Brother, we’ll head over first."

The other disciples bid farewell respectfully.

At this moment, inside the shop.

Lv Zhengying was examining the shop’s transaction ledger.

Seeing the leading male cultivator enter, he quickly greeted him.

"Welcome, welcome, I am Lv Zhengying from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. May I know which Senior Brother you are?"

Lv Zhengying put on a wide smile, showing great respect to the leading male cultivator.

He had served many years in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Just by looking, he knew the other was a True Master’s direct disciple, a core formation seed.

"Purple Qi Peak, Zhuo Yuanhang."

The leading male cultivator said indifferently.

"So it’s Senior Brother Zhuo from Purple Qi Peak! I’ve long admired you!"

Lv Zhengying quickly cupped his fists in salute.

Of course, this was Purple Qi Peak’s Senior Brother, a genuine big client.

"How do you purchase demons here?"

"We offer 30% of standard spiritual object prices."

"Only 30%?"

Behind him, Second Brother spoke with some dissatisfaction. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"This Senior Brother, 30% is not low, they are all second-hand items, moreover they are demon entities. If you submit them to the Sect’s Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, it’s just 20%."

Lv Zhengying smiled warmly as he said, "I am in charge of spiritual object procurement at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall."

Zhuo Yuanhang waved his hand to stop his junior from speaking.

"The same tier spiritual object at 30% price is truly not low. Since Junior Lv is in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he must be aware of the market pricing for various spiritual objects."

"However, this only applies to ordinary demons. If it’s upper grade demon treasures, core formation demons, is it the same price?"

At this, Lv Zhengying’s eyes lit up.

"This is not the place to talk. Please follow me to the inner rooms to discuss."

"Alright!"

Being fellow sect members and within the sect, Zhuo Yuanhang and his other two companions were naturally unafraid of Lv Zhengying playing tricks.

The four entered a secret chamber, with a shield array arranged outside.

Lv Zhengying personally brewed spirit tea for the three.

"Senior Brothers, and this Junior Sister, speaking of which, I am friends with Xu Shaopeng from your lineage. We are all insiders here."

"Oh."

Zhuo Yuanhang smiled slightly, "Since you are a friend of Junior Xu, then you’re indeed one of us."

"Upper grade demon treasures can be purchased at 40% off the same tier spiritual object."

"As for core formation demons and high tier water attribute demon beast essence blood, it depends on the grade."

Lv Zhengying said seriously, "To be frank, this is the highest price. Demon cultivator items are second-hand goods, they cannot be sold at the same price as spiritual objects."

Zhuo Yuanhang nodded.

"Understood. This treasure shop is named Gu Feng Treasure Shop, what is its relationship with True Master Gu Feng?"

"Aside from me, all other shareholders are True Master Gu Feng’s direct disciples."

"Does Shen Xuan have a share?"

Lv Zhengying replied solemnly, "Senior Brother Shen is the major shareholder of this shop."

Zhuo Yuanhang gently tapped the jade table with his fingers.

"I see! Then that’s easier."

"The price will follow Junior Lv’s 40% offer. However, I have a small request."

"Please proceed, Senior Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Yuanhang took out a storage pouch and emptied its contents.

Three demon treasures, two upper grade, and the other an exquisite jade demon sword of top grade.

"I don’t want spirit stones. I want to exchange them for equal value Thunder Spirit Pearls or Thunder Talismans made by Senior Brother Shen."

Lv Zhengying looked at the demon treasures on the jade table and shook his head.

"Senior Brother Zhuo, upper grade demon treasures, eighty thousand spirit stones each. Top grade demon treasures, one hundred sixty thousand spirit stones. With these demon treasures, I can only offer two hundred forty Thunder Spirit Pearls for you. Six hundred forty spirit stones worth of Thunder Spirit Pearls."

Zhuo Yuanhang asked, "What about exchanging for Thunder Talismans, is it not possible?"

"Senior Brother Zhuo, I’m sorry."

Lv Zhengying, although smiling, was firm in his refusal.

Shen Xuan had instructed that acquiring demon treasures was merely incidental, not a significant profit.

It was impossible to pay for strategic spiritual items like Thunder Spirit Pearls or Thunder Talismans for this.

Lv Zhengying agreed to offer two hundred forty Thunder Spirit Pearls, still considering Zhuo Yuanhang’s status as Purple Qi Peak Senior Brother and core formation seed.

Zhuo Yuanhang opened his mouth, and given the presence of his juniors, was given some face, without being flatly rejected.

Shen Xuan truly wanted to acquire core formation demons and high tier water attribute demon beast essence blood.

"Alright then! Let’s trade according to Junior Lv’s terms,"

not saying more, Zhuo Yuanhang said.

After the transaction was completed, Zhuo Yuanhang handed the Thunder Spirit Pearls and spirit stones to the sister behind him.

Lv Zhengying smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhuo, for your patronage."

"Not at all, we all benefit!"

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhuo, if you have core formation demons or high tier water attribute demon beast essence blood, I can purchase them at a high price."

Lv Zhengying jokingly reminded.
