In the practice room.
A flash of golden light emanated from the Mysterious Jade Talisman at Shen Xuan’s brow.
In the basin before him, three young Blue-Ringed Octopuses lay drained of blood, floating limply on the water’s surface.
Just like the Shadow Octopus.
The Blue-Ringed Octopus is also a treasure of talent.
[Stealable Talents: Pufferfish Poison, Concealing Breath, Disguise, Water Escape, Wishful Size, Innate Spiritual Wisdom, Super mory, Endless Life, Three Hearts and Nine Brains, Eight Strange Arms].
With ten stealable bloodline talents, Shen Xuan was drooling.
Shen Xuan repeatedly examined them.
His gaze swept over the ten bloodline talents of the Shadow Octopus one by one.
Ultimately, he chose the strongest unique talent of the Blue-Ringed Octopus [Pufferfish Poison].
The reason was simple.
The other talents could still be stolen from other octopus-type Water Demons.
But [Pufferfish Poison] was unique to the Blue-Ringed Octopus.
Shen Xuan had witnessed its toxicity firsthand.
More potent than his Silver Hook Snake Venom and Stonefish Poison.
Qi Wanqing fused it with the Soul-Devouring Needle.
Granting her a qualitative leap in combat strength.
Within a few breaths, it could poison a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
The potency of its venom was evident.
[Talent: Pufferfish Poison (12/100)]
Shen Xuan calculated the number of young Blue-Ringed Octopuses in his heart.
Fortunately, it should be enough.
[Dao Rhy: 1368]
Looking again at the Dao Rhy Points, it increased by 300 points in one go.
Much more than the Three-legged Golden Toad.
Three months later.
Shen Xuan successfully stole the unique Poison talent from the Blue-Ringed Octopus.
[Talent: Pufferfish Poison Mastery (8/200)]
[Dao Rhy: 4288]
Unfortunately, his Water Spirit Root Talent remained at 80 points, unchanged.
This also confird Shen Xuan’s suspicion.
The Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demon Essence Blood could not enhance the Celestial Spirit Root Talent.
In the days that followed, Shen Xuan practiced [Pufferfish Poison Talisman] alongside his intense cultivation.
He wrote to Qi Wanqing.
Asking her to help collect so young Blue-Ringed Octopuses.
To extract their Essence Blood, refine it into Cinnabar, and produce [Pufferfish Poison Talismans].
The power of this Poison Talisman was clearly stronger than the [Silver Hook Snake Poison Talisman] or [Stonefish Poison Talisman].
If the three premium Poison Talismans were activated simultaneously, even with a Top Grade Antitoxic Pill, the opponent would not be able to detoxify in ti.
Compared to the Thunder Talisman, creating Poison Talismans consud much less Spiritual Power.
The Talisman Success Rate improved much faster.
After a period of rest.
Once the Mysterious Jade Talisman cooled down.
Shen Xuan began to steal the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood.
Compared to other Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beasts, a single Bloodthirsty Mosquito King had a small body with limited Essence Blood.
In fact, the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King should be considered a demon insect.
Fortunately, Shen Xuan had slain three Bloodthirsty Mosquito Kings at the ti.
The Essence Blood was sufficient.
[Stealable Talents: Myriad Transformations, Voice Like Thunder, Devouring All Things, Sharp Needle and Iron Beak].
Although there were only four bloodline talents, Shen Xuan was in a dilemma.
He imdiately discarded Voice Like Thunder and Sharp Needle and Iron Beak.
However, he was indecisive between Myriad Transformations and Essence Blood Absorption.
The Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s ancestor was the Primordial Fierce Beast Black-winged Blood Mosquito.
Its most formidable Divine Powers were Myriad Transformations and Devouring All Things.
Legend has it that the Black-winged Blood Mosquito could devour Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Myriad Transformations allows it to transform into countless Blood Mosquitoes, and as long as one survives, its True Spirit remains indestructible.
Shen Xuan wanted both of these Divine Powers.
After repeated comparisons, Shen Xuan eventually chose Devouring All Things.
After all, there were many ways to escape.
A Divine Power capable of devouring Innate Spiritual Treasures was exceedingly rare.
From [Sharp Teeth and Fangs] to [Devouring All Things], I won’t beco a Fierce Beast, will I?
Having made his choice, Shen Xuan hesitated no longer.
The Mysterious Jade Talisman flashed with golden light.
[Talent: Devouring All Things (8/100)]
A fifth of the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood yielded only eight points!
Luckily, Shen Xuan had three Bloodthirsty Mosquito Kings at hand.
Otherwise, this [Devouring All Things] bloodline talent could not even reach Entry Level.
[Dao Rhy: 4698]
The Dao Rhy Points were quite high, exceeding four hundred in one go.
This left Shen Xuan quite pleased.
The higher the Dao Rhy Points, the higher the grade of the bloodline talents.
During Shen Xuan’s secluded cultivation.
The struggle between Dao and Demon in Cyan Yang Prefecture reached a fever pitch.
Xiao Keyuan returned to the sect with three cultivators.
He Zhengming made a grand appearance, revealing his identity as a direct disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect True Master, declaring a campaign to cleanse Cyan Yang Prefecture of Demon Cultivators, targeting the Wu Family of Red Rock Forest.
This ti, it was a grand spectacle.
The Zhao Family of Tiger Stream Ridge, Zhou Family of Valley of Beasts, and Su Family of Feiyun Mountain took a clear stand in support, mobilizing elite forces to gather at Tiger Stream Ridge.
When the war broke out, Shen Xuan’s Thunder Talismans and Poison Talismans beca strategic materials.
As consumables, the activation ti of Talismans was short and consud little Spiritual Power, proving effective in the chaotic situation of the Dao-Demon War.
Especially the Tier Two Thunder Talismans; not only were they powerful and moderately priced, but they also doubled in effectiveness against Demon Cultivators.
He Zhengming used the Thunder Talismans provided by Shen Xuan as rewards, prioritizing distribution to cultivators with outstanding battle achievents, rallying hearts.
In the Dao-Demon War, Tier Two Thunder Talismans were a rare commodity, even with Spirit Stones.
Not just Shen Xuan.
The Pill Master Lin and Artifact Master Dai of Feiyun Mountain also worked tirelessly day and night.
For them, this was a rare opportunity to earn Spirit Stones and improve their skills.
Shen Xuan was inspired, promoting Corpse Refining Gold Powder to the Beast Taming Zhou Family.
He had the Immortal Bailian and Lv Zhengying purchase Spirit dicine to concoct Corpse Refining Gold Powder, which could also be used on the Taiyin Corpse Beast.
Shen Xuan tested it.
It could boost the Taiyin Corpse Beast’s attack and defense by thirty to fifty percent.
Equivalent to raising its strength by a small realm.
That year, Shen Xuan, through Immortal Bailian, sold Sharp-toothed Shark, Purple Dragon Electric Eel, and other Demon Beast remains to the Zhou Family.
Including a successfully refined Silver-winged Python.
Immortal Bailian had a Strong Water Ape.
The Zhou Family later also refined several Taiyin Corpse Beasts on their own.
This ti, Shen Xuan did not pass the Golden Body Corpse Refining Technique to Bai Lian Fairy.
Even if you know what spirit dicines are composed, without specific formulas and thods, it is simply impossible to produce Corpse Refining Gold Powder.
Shen Xuan let Bai Lian Fairy co to the Rain Listening Pavilion.
In front of her, he revealed the power after transforming the shadow octopus to the golden body.
The originally semi-transparent shadow octopus, its entire body glowed with golden light, as if covered in a tallic shell.
The eight tentacles danced, and a massive boulder dozens of ters high was sliced in half at the waist.
Bai Lian Fairy watched in astonishnt, her eyes shining.
"Shen Lang, what did you add to it? Was it the spirit dicine Bai Lian helped you collect?"
"Using spirit dicine to concoct a type of Corpse Refining Gold Powder can consolidate the flesh body of the corpse beast."
Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Do you want so?"
"Mm!"
Bai Lian quickly nodded her head heavily.
"The relationship between you and is not ordinary. I’ll give you a portion to use on the Strong Water Ape."
Shen Xuan pondered and said.
Refining the Taiyin Corpse Beast into a golden body is equivalent to gaining a top-tier helper, which can greatly enhance the cultivator’s combat power and share risks.
Just like Bai Lian Fairy’s Strong Water Ape.
Its strength could be compared to the outstanding ones in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishnt.
After being refined into a golden body, it is equivalent to that of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt.
The flesh body is hard, infinitely strong, and fearless of death.
Even Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the middle stage would not stand to gain against it.
"Thank you, Shen Lang!"
Bai Lian Fairy bead with joy.
She presides over the Zhou Family in the Valley of Beasts and won’t participate in the Dao-Demon war.
But in such chaotic situations, no one can guarantee safety.
This is also the reason Shen Xuan gifted her the Corpse Refining Gold Powder.
After all, she is a cohabiting Dao companion.
In many matters, Bai Lian Fairy could help him.
Such as acquiring Water Demon Essence Blood, Corpse Refining Elixir, and acting as an agent to sell demon beast remains.
Moreover, since he wishes to sell a large quantity of Corpse Refining Gold Powder to the Zhou Family, there should be an exemplary model for demonstration.
Bai Lian Fairy’s Strong Water Ape makes an excellent promotional piece.
The following three months.
Shen Xuan diligently cultivated in the Rain Listening Pavilion.
When half of the third Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood was utilized.
He finally plundered the Devouring All Things bloodline talent.
[Talent: Devouring All Things Entry Level (2/100)]
Gazing at the golden light on the Mysterious Jade Talisman, Shen Xuan was thoughtful.
The Water Spirit Root Talent remained unchanged.
[Dao Rhy: 8668]
It had been long since Shen Xuan plundered a beast talent to initiatory level.
This was the first ti it appeared in recent years.
He took out a damaged magical treasure.
Activated the Devouring All Things skill.
Suddenly, his teeth beca sharp and pointed.
The damaged magical treasure was brought close to his mouth, and with a gentle bite, he bit off a small piece.
Shen Xuan spat out the magical treasure fragnts.
He did not intend to consu this thing.
However, if it were Demon Beast Essence Blood or Spirit Plant roots, a trial might be worthwhile.
As he thought of it, he acted.
Shen Xuan took out the third Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood.
Directly used the Devouring All Things skill.
Indeed, the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood, after being absorbed into his belly, was refined into a pure strand of spiritual power, rging into his Dantian Spirit Sea Dao Foundation.
"This works too?"
Shen Xuan was both surprised and delighted.
Soon, he also felt a pinch of heartache.
Although the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood indeed increased a strand of Dao Foundation spiritual power.
However, the Mysterious Jade Talisman’s plunder not only increased talent skill proficiency but also Dao Rhy Points.
Using the Devouring All Things skill to consu water attribute Demon Beast Essence Blood directly seed sowhat unprofitable.
"Actually, I can use this skill to refine other attribute Demon Beast at!"
Shen Xuan pondered secretly in his heart.
He disguised his appearance, went to the Cyan Yang Market, and bought so Tier Two Demon Beast at.
Returning to the Practice Room, he perford the Devouring All Things skill and consud them into his belly.
As he expected, these Tier Two Demon Beast at could equally be refined into a strand of spiritual power, integrating into his Dantian Spirit Sea Dao Foundation.
The effect was significantly stronger than ordinary consumption.
"Devouring All Things is just at the entry level, the quantity and effect of refining demon beast at still have room for improvent."
Shen Xuan looked at the Dao Rhy Points on the Mysterious Jade Talisman.
[Dao Rhy: 8668]
Without a doubt, the skill Devouring All Things is of the highest grade.
This also ans it is the toughest to upgrade.
Even though Shen Xuan used it many tis, whether it was Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood or over ten pounds of demon beast at.
The skill level did not increase a bit, not even a single incrent.
"If I could enhance the Dao Foundation Origin Spiritual Power, not only could I shorten cultivation ti, but also enhance the Dao Foundation’s quality."
"Currently, I have many ans to protect the Dao, cultivators of the sa realm are not to be feared."
"The urgent task is to quickly enhance the realm cultivation."
Shen Xuan thought repeatedly.
Finally, he decided to fully enhance the Devouring All Things skill.
After all, it is the first Primordial Fierce Beast bloodline talent that he obtained.
Undoubtedly, its grade and effect require no doubt.
If he relied on eating Tier Two demon beast at every day to enhance, who knows how long it would take!
"Jade Talisman, add points!"
Shen Xuan made up his mind.
Dao Rhy Points gradually reduced.
Just the entry-level phase consud three thousand points.
[Talent: Devouring All Things Proficient (3/200)]
"Continue!"
[Dao Rhy: 0]
[Talent: Devouring All Things Proficient (188/200)]
Looking at the Dao Rhy Points that returned to zero, Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.
The skill upgrade for Devouring All Things is incredibly difficult!
However, Shen Xuan still had so Bloodthirsty Mosquito King’s Essence Blood.
At least it would increase so Dao Rhy Points and Devouring All Things proficiency level.
Moreover, he still had one unidentified Water Demon Essence Blood gifted by Master Wuchen.
Although he doesn’t know what kind of water demon it is, the fact that it’s gifted by a True Master likely ans it’s Tier Two Top Grade!
This gave Shen Xuan so expectation in his heart.
