Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 448: Fake Pill Demon King

"Fake Core Demon King!"

"Could it be that this person possesses world-defying abilities, capable of slaying a Fake Core Demon King in the deep waters of the East Sea?"

"Impossible! Even a Fake Pill True Master wouldn’t be confident of certain victory!"

"Even a True Pill True Master must seize the right moment!"

This time, Shen Xuan spoke up, stirring up a storm of discussions.

Voices of various discussions erupted in the private rooms.

Among those attending the trading conference, half were Water Cultivators.

Forget about Fake Pill True Masters.

Even Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators were exceedingly rare.

There were only three in total at the scene.

And these three were all ancestors from powerful Cultivation Clans of the Starry Sea.

They were the living pillars of their clans.

Even they, when encountering a Fake Core Water Demon in the Starry Sea waters, the first thought was to flee for their lives.

Hesitating for even a breath was irresponsible to the ancestors of their clan.

The top-grade warships in the Starry Sea were only Tier Two Top Grade.

They could barely deal with Tier Two Top Grade Water Demons.

But against a Fake Core Demon King, the likely outcome was the ship’s destruction and crew’s demise.

The gap between Fake Core and Foundation Establishment Perfection was as vast as the heavens and the abyss.

A Fake Pill True Master could easily defeat three Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators.

When it came to Water Demons, the gap was even greater.

Shen Xuan listened to the discussions without showing any emotion.

Since he proposed it, he had already made his calculations.

To him at this moment,

Tier Two Top Grade Water Demons were not a concern.

In some rarely visited deep sea areas of the Starry Sea, there were Tier Two Top Grade Water Demons.

What truly intrigued him was the Fake Core Water Demon.

The demon core, beast meat, essence blood, everything was a treasure.

Its value was more than ten times that of a Tier Two Top Grade Water Demon.

He could use it all.

With his strength as a Body Refining Master at the Dharma Realm, coupled with several Water Talent Skills, the Immortal Armor, and the Golden Corpse Beast,

Shen Xuan had a ninety percent chance of being able to slay a Fake Core Demon King in the sea.

In fact, even against a True Core Demon King, Shen Xuan could put up a fight.

However, there was no need for that.

Being cautious in all things is always a wise choice.

Shen Xuan repeated once more.

"High price for information on Fake Core Demon Kings! Does any Fellow Daoist have information to provide? High price!"

Finally, someone spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by high price? Tell us!"

Shen Xuan replied, "A Water Attribute Foundation Establishment Pill should count as a high price, right?"

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy auction hall suddenly fell silent.

Exchanging a Foundation Establishment Pill for information on a Fake Core Demon King!

Where could one find such a good deal!

After a brief silence,

Someone couldn’t help but shout, "What kind of information do you need?"

"Very simple. The Fake Core Demon King’s name, activity area, and activity time. Here, I emphasize one thing. It must be a Fake Core Demon King, a True Core Demon King won’t do."

"Additionally, the person providing the information must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and sign a Spirit Contract. If the information is incorrect, they must return double the information fee."

"Of course, the Foundation Establishment Pill I offer is of certified quality, and can withstand testing."

Shen Xuan turned to Patriarch Wei: "Brother Wei, is such a transaction possible?"

Patriarch Wei nodded slowly.

"It should be so."

In fact, at this time, his mind was also in a fog.

Strictly speaking, there was no Fake Core Demon King inside the Starry Sea waters.

Only at the edge of the Starry Sea might one appear.

Even for the Wei Family, they wouldn’t go hunting a Fake Core Demon King.

If something goes wrong, the ship is destroyed and people die, the entire family would be severely weakened.

Cultivating a Foundation Establishment Cultivator isn’t easy.

It requires not only a large investment of cultivation resources but also time for growth.

Take the Wei Family as an example.

Currently, there are about a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the family.

On average, it takes about ten years for one Wei Family cultivator to successfully establish a foundation.

Patriarch Wei didn’t know why this person was relying on, gathering information on Fake Core Demon Kings in front of so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Starry Sea.

"Could it be that this person has a deep background, and a True Master instructed him to collect information on Fake Core Demon Kings?"

No matter what, Patriarch Wei wouldn’t associate someone going to hunt Fake Core Demon Kings with the Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him.

Information on Fake Core Demon Kings isn’t particularly valuable.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators simply have no use for it.

It’s just that rarity makes it precious.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, as long as they don’t leave the Starry Sea waters, are unlikely to encounter Fake Core Demon Kings.

As for those legends,

they haven’t been verified and can’t be traded with Shen Xuan.

After all, there’s the Spirit Contract and the Heavenly Dao oath.

If the legends are untrue, they would need to compensate double.

Shen Xuan waited for a while, his time running out.

Preparing to step down from the platform,

a voice whispered in his Divine Soul.

"Fellow Daoist, I happen to know about a Fake Core Demon King’s information."

To Shen Xuan’s surprise, the response came from Patriarch Wei.

"The Lion King Island Wei Family is strong, regularly holding trading conferences, so knowing about Fake Core Demon King information is normal."

Shen Xuan thought.

However, Patriarch Wei used Divine Soul transmission.

Evidently, he didn’t want outsiders to know.

"Is it Brother Wei? That’s fine, how should we trade?"

"Fellow Daoist, return to your private room, and our family’s clan elder will come to discuss in detail."

"Alright! I’ll be waiting."

Shen Xuan stepped down from the auction platform, putting on an appearance of having gained nothing, and gracefully returned to his private room.

Not long after.

An elder clad in a green robe, with white hair and sharp eyes, entered Shen Xuan’s private room.

"I’m Wei Tianhe, greetings Mr. Shen."

"Are you... the Wei Family’s patriarch?"

Shen Xuan judged from the aura emanating from Wei Tianhe.

Foundation Establishment Perfection.

At this realm, the Wei Family had only one patriarch.

"Mr. Shen, you have quite the talent!"

Shen Xuan removed the Wei Family’s magic robe, revealing a young and handsome face beneath the mask.

"Shen Fei, honored guest of the Chen Family on Divine Dragon Island, greetings Brother Wei."

Wei Tianhe scrutinized Shen Xuan several times.

Divine Sense swept over Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan smiled, exuding confidence and composure.

The Illusion Technique achieved Great Success, the Concealing Breath Technique reached Perfection, and along with the recently practiced Thousand Transformations.

For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even one at the level of Perfection, it’s difficult to see through his disguise.

In fact, after cultivating Endless Life, Shen Xuan’s vitality surged with life, almost indistinguishable from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in his forties.

Wei Tianhe asked, "I wonder, Mr. Shen, which Sect are you from?"

"Apologies, Brother Wei, my master has instructed us that while traveling outside, we are not to disclose the name of our Sect or master."

"Understood."

Wei Tianhe nodded slightly.

"I have here a Fake Pill Demon King, it’s an electric ray demon fish..."

After listening, Shen Xuan readily took out a Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Oh, wasn’t there going to be a Spirit Contract and an oath to the Heavenly Dao?"

"Brother Wei, you jest. I trust Brother Wei!"

The electric ray demon fish, to other cultivators, is extremely terrifying.

Not only is the voltage high and the current strong, but the discharge frequency is also very fast.

It is said that it can discharge over a hundred times per breath.

But to Shen Xuan, the electric ray demon fish is his favorite type of water demon.

Because, he is not afraid of electricity!

Indeed, he possesses the Absolute Thunder Dao Body at Perfection Level.

He can also use the Water Repelling Technique to dispel surrounding seawater, forming a non-conductive vacuum area.

As for the flesh body,

Shen Xuan, who morphs into a flood dragon and is a Body Refining Master in the Dharma Realm, cannot lose to the electric ray demon fish in a body comparison.

To him, the Fake Pill Demon King electric ray demon fish poses very little threat.

"Mr. Shen, forgive the old man’s impertinence. Are you gathering information on the Fake Pill Demon King because you intend to hunt this foe?"

"How could that be!"

Shen Xuan replied solemnly, "This is a Sect task. I am merely responsible for gathering information. Subsequent matters, I cannot be involved in."

"Indeed. The old man misspoke."

Wei Tianhe exchanged a few pleasantries, warmly inviting Shen Xuan to stay at Divine Dragon Island for a few days.

Shen Xuan declined politely, citing a prior engagement with a companion.

...

This was Wei Family’s probe against Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan purchased intelligence on the Fake Pill Demon King at an auction.

It would certainly attract the Wei Family’s attention.

Originally, Shen Xuan also seized this opportunity to connect with the Wei Family.

Using the Wei Family’s influence in the Star Sea, while focusing on cultivation, he sought ways to collect more cultivation resources.

The Fake Pill Demon King was of utmost importance.

The alchemy business could not be entirely abandoned.

Unexpectedly,

The Wei Family showed such interest in him.

The clan’s patriarch personally came to visit.

However, Shen Xuan was well-prepared, leaving no traces.

The Wei Family’s patriarch could not uncover his background.

After the trade meeting ended,

Shen Xuan reunited with Pill Master Zheng and Mu Ling’Er.

Together, they left Lion King Island.

The flying ship headed back to Spring Breeze Island.

Along the way, Mu Ling’Er was quite excited, chattering endlessly like a lark, recounting her experiences on Lion King Island.

She sold two sets of arrays, gaining significantly.

Shen Xuan assumed a listening posture, smiling silently.

If comparing gains,

A single Fake Pill Demon King electric ray demon fish surpassed the income of ten sets of arrays from Mu Ling’Er.

With a hundred miles remaining to the island, a spaceship appeared ahead.

It was not following them.

But instead, lying in wait there.

"It’s a spaceship from the Xu Family! Elder Zheng, let’s avoid them first!"

Mu Ling’Er said in surprise.

Shen Xuan focused intently.

The spaceship bore a family emblem resembling a soaring divine eagle, marked with the name "Xu."

"The Xu Family is audacious, daring to create trouble in the Star Sea!"

Despite the words,

Pill Master Zheng still maneuvered the flying ship to swiftly turn and fly away.

The spaceship was equipped with multiple Spiritual Energy Cannons.

Whereas the flying ship, being just a tool for transporting people, had almost no offensive power.

"Zheng Ziyi, stop the flying ship, this matter does not concern you!"

The spaceship trailing them broadcasted a cultivator’s shout.

Pill Master Zheng’s eyes turned cold.

The other party even called out his name.

Clearly, they had long since traced his roots.

"We are from the True Intention Sect Xu Family! Fellow Daoist Zheng, do not mislead yourself!"

On the warship deck, a middle-aged cultivator in a brocade robe yelled. He was clearly at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Ignore him! We’re heading to Phoenix Perch Island!"

"Alright!"

Phoenix Perch Island was a deserted island near Divine Dragon Island without a Spirit Vein.

Pill Master Zheng was a Golden Cultivator, while also piloting the flying ship.

Mu Ling’Er was a Wood Cultivator and an Array Master.

Neither was suited for engaging in magical combat over the sea.

Moreover, when flying ship faced a warship, chances of winning were slim.

Pill Master Zheng increased Spiritual Power infusion, steering the flying ship at great speed, flying to Phoenix Perch Island.

The Xu Family’s spaceship followed closely.

"If you do not stop, we are going to fire!"

The Xu Family cultivator in a brocade robe issued a threatening shout.

All the black, ominous Spiritual Energy Cannons locked onto the flying ship.

The flying ship was forced to land.

Pill Master Zheng summoned a flying sword, coldly eyeing the opposite party.

"I am Xu Ningzhong, greetings to Fellow Daoist Zheng and Fellow Daoist Shen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan couldn’t help but pause.

It seems, the other side came well-prepared.

Even he, an obscure figure, was clearly identified.

"Mu Ling’Er, you wouldn’t want your friends to perish here, would you?"

Xu Ningzhong, wielding an earth-yellow Spirit Shield, said grimly.

Mu Ling’Er coldly remarked, "Xu Ningzhong, is this the way of your Xu Family? Using my friends to threaten me?"

"Mu Ling’Er, if you obediently surrender, I might consider sparing these two."

A deep voice sounded.

Mu Ling’Er gritted her teeth, "Xu Ningyu, you despicable scoundrel, come out and face me!"

"Am I a despicable scoundrel? Mu Ling’Er, I am your fiancé, yet to be formally married!"

A handsome young man with an arrogant demeanor flew out of the warship, standing before Mu Ling’Er.
