"The descendant of the Divine Beast Pegasus, the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse."
Shen Xuan said casually.
"Can it be ridden?"
Shen Xuan looked up, glanced at Wei Yating with a blush on her cheeks, and smiled.
"Do you want to ride?"
"Yes."
Wei Yating’s eyes showed a hint of anticipation, and she nodded gently.
"Can it be done?"
Shen Xuan curiously asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"
"I do!"
Wei Yating’s voice was firm.
"It can be ridden."
Shen Xuan summoned the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, communicating with the Divine Soul.
Soon.
Wei Yating rode on the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, like a white lightning, galloping across the warship, her body trembling, and she giggled.
The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse ran faster and faster, unsatisfied with the limitations of the warship’s deck.
It simply flapped its wings and took to the sky, soaring around, spiraling around the warship.
Its speed was evidently much faster than the Wei Family’s warship.
Wei Yating, only at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, clung tightly to the neck of the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, repeatedly screaming, pleading for it to return to the warship.
The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse proudly returned to the Wei Family’s warship.
Wei Yating leapt down, her chest heaving, drenched in fragrant sweat.
"Alchemist Shen, Fei Xue is too mischievous, you must train it well!"
Wei Yating complained discontentedly.
She had been thoroughly scared just now.
The strong winds in high altitude were incredibly damaging for Wei Yating, at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.
"Fei Xue, if you’re this naughty again, I won’t bring you out!"
Shen Xuan laughed, patting the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse’s head, warning aloud.
The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse snorted loudly, nodding repeatedly, seemingly admitting wrongdoing, yet without genuine intention.
"Alright! Yating, stop disturbing Alchemist Shen from reading!"
The ever-placid Patriarch Wei, lounging on the deck with eyes closed, spoke up.
"Fei Xue is a Tier Two Spirit Beast; you cannot command it."
Wei Yating blushed and gracefully retreated back inside the ship.
She likely went to bathe and change clothes.
Wei Anping approached with a smile, handing over an Information Jade Scroll.
Shen Xuan scanned it with Divine Sense; it was the "Weihai Immortal City Auction Guide."
The Information Jade Scroll docunted the main items for auction at Weihai Immortal City, with simple introductions and price forecasts.
The end of the Information Jade Scroll contained advertisent content.
Primarily introducing the upscale entertainnt venues of Weihai Immortal City.
Foremost was the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
Several vivid portraits of currently popular Immortals, lifelike and enchanting.
Followed by various Immortal restaurants, offering countless dishes made with Demon Beast at and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Nurous gambling houses existed, as many as seven or eight, each with unique features, ensuring safety upon winning.
The Jade Scroll creator thoughtfully included contact locations.
At the Sect Inn upon entering the city, one could receive a Communication Talisman for free, with Sect Servants familiar with Immortal City leading the way.
Undeniably, the Divine Sword Sect devised every possible way to earn Spirit Stones.
The atmosphere beca even more liberal.
Shen Xuan’s attention shifted to the auction items.
"Tier Two Top Grade Water Demon Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile, three zhang long, weighing two thousand jin, the body intact with Demon Core, iron beak, sharp claws, Essence Blood all present, starting bid thirty thousand Spirit Stones, anticipated closing price sixty thousand Spirit Stones."
Upon seeing the Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile, Shen Xuan’s heart was filled with joy.
Previously, he had refined an Iron Armor Crocodile’s Essence Blood, rely Tier One Top Grade, yet obtaining an outstanding talent skill like [Immune to Poison].
The Tier Two Top Grade Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile lived deep in the ocean, resembling a legendary Divine Beast.
Its crocodile skin was hard, its body massive, its crocodile claws sharp, and its iron beak harder than steel, taking up a third of its body length.
The Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile could control water flow, boasting formidable healing abilities, and was likely to have a Divine Dragon Bloodline.
The Divine Sword Sect dared to auction off such a grade of Demon Beast remains.
It must be said that the Divine Sword Sect lived up to being the poorest sect among the seven sects in Song Country.
Aside from the Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile, there were several other Tier Two Middle Grade Water Attribute Demon Beasts.
Currently, Shen Xuan lacked interest in Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons.
Spending so much ti and effort on refining could only increase a few Dao Rhy Points, which was insignificant.
This Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile was different.
It not only promised considerable Dao Rhy Points but also offered new bloodline talent skills.
Its remains could be refined into a at shield corpse beast.
In the deep sea, the Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile’s attack power, defense power, speed, and agility were exceptional.
Shen Xuan was determined to acquire the Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile.
He glanced at the predicted closing price.
Sixty thousand Spirit Stones.
He could afford it.
But there’s always fear of unexpected turns.
Although the Wei Family could lend him so Spirit Stones for circulation.
Shen Xuan was unwilling to owe favors to the Wei Family.
Apart from stained goods unsuited for sale, Shen Xuan’s most valuable possession was the Purple Essence Divine Wood Spirit Branch.
This was a Tier Three Spiritual Object.
His transaction with the Purple Essence Divine Wood Great Demon, the first batch of Spirit Branches had lower quality, each costing over three thousand Spirit Stones.
Of course, the actual cost was much higher than that.
Shen Xuan also had to spend ti and effort infusing Spirit Stones into Spirit Water within the River and Sea Map.
The second batch of Spirit Branches were noticeably better in quality.
Shen Xuan contemplated and planned to sell the remaining seven Spirit Branches from the first batch.
Of course, to prevent unexpected incidents, he certainly needed to use Thousand Transformations to disguise his true identity.
Luckily, he recently acquired the skill [Thousand Transformations].
It made traveling for transactions much more convenient.
Shen Xuan went over the "Weihai Immortal City Auction Guide" again to ensure he didn’t miss any High Tier Water Demon Essence Blood.
Then, he began examining the precious spiritual objects in the auction closely.
"Tier Three Spirit Pill, Life-Extending Pill!"
Shen Xuan couldn’t help but take a cold breath.
This Divine Sword Sect had a trendous move.
Even taking out Life-Extending Pills, such Longevity Spirit Pills, for auction.
"Tier Three Longevity Spirit Pill, Fake Pill Master can extend lifespan by ten years, starting bid fifty thousand Spirit Stones, expected closing price one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
To extend lifespan by only ten years and still be so expensive!
It should be noted that the average lifespan of a Fake Pill Master is three hundred sixty years.
This kind of Longevity Spirit Pill has the best effect only with the first pill.
The second pill would likely only have thirty percent the effect.
By the third piece, it was almost useless.
Shen Xuan suddenly rembered sothing.
The Wei Family’s ancestor is a renowned old Fake Pill Master, doesn’t that an he’s quite old and his lifespan is limited?
Seems like it’s still necessary to make a trip to the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion to purchase intelligence on the Wei Family from White Crane Island, the Lu Family from Azure Dragon Island, and the Zhang Family from Yunng Island—all three major cultivation clans.
As for other cultivation clans in the East Mountain Sea Domain, their highest combat strength is only Foundation Establishnt Perfection, not worth being concerned about.
The fourth morning.
The Wei Family’s warship sailed into Weihai Immortal City’s port.
After entering the city, Shen Xuan used the excuse of visiting old friends to separate from Patriarch Wei and the others.
Shen Xuan checked into the Sect Inn run by the Divine Sword Sect.
After completing the formalities, he went out alone.
In a secluded area, he used Thousand Transformations to change into Lei Yaoyang’s appearance, his aura shifting to a Thunder Cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishnt, donned a Spiritual Sense Mask, and casually strolled to the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
He first inquired about the price of intelligence on the three families.
After entering, he confronted the Pavilion’s guards, released the Spiritual Pressure of his Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt Thunder Cultivator aura, and demanded to et the Pavilion Master.
Soon, Shen Xuan was ushered to the top floor’s VIP room.
Waited for the duration of one incense stick.
A lavishly dressed woman in a powder skirt and light veil entered with a charming smile.
"Wan ng greets the fellow Daoist."
Her cute nose suddenly twitched, and she took a deep breath.
"Strange! Fellow Daoist, do you recognize Wan ng?"
"Do not recognize!"
Shen Xuan answered decisively.
Unexpectedly, in Weihai Immortal City, he encountered an acquaintance.
This young lady Wan ng must be the Saintess from the Hehuan Sect.
Shen Xuan recalls that Wan ng possesses a White Fox Spirit Beast with an exceptionally keen sense of sll.
Previously, his Concealing Breath disguise was detected due to faint traces by that White Fox Spirit Beast.
Wan ng’s eyes, bright like autumn water, repeatedly studied Shen Xuan.
"Pavilion Master, I’m here to purchase intelligence as Lei."
Shen Xuan huffed lightly with displeasure.
"Purchasing intelligence, no problem! What intelligence does Fellow Daoist Lei seek?"
Wan ng still couldn’t recognize him, so she had to set it aside for now.
With business at the door, there’s no reason not to proceed.
"The Wei Family from White Crane Island, the Lu Family from Azure Dragon Island, the Zhang Family from Yunng Island—the more detailed the better."
Shen Xuan casually remarked.
"You want all three? Fellow Daoist Lei, let Wan ng explain first, the intelligence is divided into four tiers, the highest-tier Alpha intelligence is not cheap!"
"Quote the price!"
"Alpha-tier intelligence, the Wei Family from White Crane Island costs 100,000 Spirit Stones, the Lu Family from Azure Dragon Island costs 100,000 Spirit Stones, the Zhang Family from Yunng Island costs 70,000 Spirit Stones."
Shen Xuan hesitated.
This price was indeed quite high.
"So expensive? Why don’t you go rob?"
"Fellow Daoist Lei, with those words!"
"Our Celestial Fragrance Pavilion earns more than Tribulation Cultivators."
Wan ng chuckled, "If it’s not suitable, Fellow Daoist Lei might consider Beta-tier intelligence, half the price."
"If still too expensive, there’s Gamma-tier, 20,000 Spirit Stones."
"And if absolutely necessary, there’s Delta-tier, 10,000 Spirit Stones!"
Shen Xuan displayed a look of hesitation.
"Can it be negotiated? I’m buying intelligence on all three families at once!"
"Of course, it can be negotiated!"
Wan ng leaned gently on Shen Xuan, her cute nose constantly twitching.
"If Fellow Daoist Lei lets Wan ng see the true appearance, you’ll get a 10% discount."
"Not necessary!"
Shen Xuan coldly replied, "If your little white fox doesn’t get into the Spirit Beast Bag, I’ll butcher it and eat the at."
Upon hearing this, Wan ng barely managed a smile.
With a motion of her hand, a semi-transparent white glow leaped into her Spirit Beast Bag.
It was indeed her White Fox Spirit Beast skilled in stealth and tracking.
"Fellow Daoist Lei, impressive skills!"
"How about tonight? Don’t return. Wan ng’s place has a very comfortable soft bed..."
Wan ng whispered sensually, peaks slightly exposed, snow-white and plump, enticing one’s imagination.
"If Lei stays with you for a night, how many Spirit Stones would you offer?"
Wan ng was stunned.
As if hearing an unbelievable joke.
Shen Xuan still spoke coldly.
"Hehuan Sect’s Saintess, do you cultivate Celestial Desire Charm Technique or Charming Maiden Technique?"
"How do you conceal the Holy Daughter’s Treasure Seal on your forehead?"
Wan ng’s smiling face suddenly stiffened.
Instantly turned cold.
"Fellow Daoist Lei, are you here to purchase intelligence or investigate Wan ng’s background?"
Shen Xuan chuckled softly.
"Lei sincerely intends to purchase intelligence."
Wan ng fixed her charming eyes on Shen Xuan for a long ti.
Their gazes t, one filled with suspicion, the other calm as water.
"The 10% discount is the lowest price."
"The Celestial Fragrance Pavilion doesn’t belong to Wan ng."
Shen Xuan pondered briefly.
Ultimately, he shook his head.
He only had 800,000 Spirit Stones on him.
Buying the Iron-Beaked Sea Crocodile was the imdiate priority.
Purchasing intelligence on the three major cultivation clans could wait a while.
"Lei is currently in tight circumstances, I’ll co back in a few days!"
With that, he turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Wan ng bit her lip.
Her breath fragrant as orchids.
"You and I are both wanderers of the mundane world, why not indulge freely?"
"When flowers are available, you must pick them; don’t wait till the branches are barren."
Wan ng’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.
"Rest assured! No charge."
Shen Xuan laughed, "Free?"
His gaze boldly surveyed Wan ng’s proud features.
After several breaths, he chuckled lightly.
"Sorry. Lei never accepts anything for free!"
