This line of dialogue is too familiar.
Shen Xuan didn’t think much, not delaying by even a breath.
The Silver-Horned Celestial Horse under him suddenly disappeared, collected into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Then, Shen Xuan’s figure blurred for a mont.
[Yin-Yang Walking]!
Shen Xuan’s figure vanished into the void of the sky.
More than ten breaths later.
When Shen Xuan’s figure reappeared, he was already a thousand feet away, his body flickering with bright blue thunder arcs.
After a faint crackling sound.
Shen Xuan continuously used the [Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique], quickly fleeing to tens of miles away.
Behind him, on a cloud-breaking shuttle stood two Golden Core True Masters.
One elderly yet vigorous, one youthful and distinguished.
"Master, why is he running?"
The young Golden Core True Master asked curiously.
"How would I know!"
The elderly Golden Core True Master looked at the disappearing figure of Shen Xuan and couldn’t help but sigh.
"True Master Profound Ice of Cyan Cloud Sect, his reputation is well-deserved. With just that spatial divine power and Thunder Escape Technique, I can do nothing about him."
The young Golden Core True Master scoffed, "Master, stop glorifying him. True Master Profound Ice’s fa is illustrious, I thought he was sothing remarkable, yet he’s so timid and fearful!"
The elderly Golden Core True Master felt displeased.
"Refinent Spirit, you mustn’t underestimate this person! Among the newly advanced Golden Core in Song Country, only he can rival the star of Profound Celestial Sect."
"Understood!"
True Master of Spirit Refining still harbored so doubts.
"Why is he running?"
...
Shen Xuan saw the two Golden Cores behind hadn’t caught up. He then concealed his figure, disguising himself as a normal late-stage Foundation Establishnt loose cultivator.
Then, he perford Sword Flight.
"Cup and Snake Shadows?"
At this mont, Shen Xuan’s flight speed was only at the Foundation Establishnt level.
"Shadow Assassination Gate shouldn’t be so fast."
Demon Monarch Qianyan said True Master Profound Ice’s fa was widespread.
Such a high-risk assassination task, Shadow Assassination Gate typically dispatches a master, at least middle-stage Golden Core.
Then, they recruit two middle-stage True Pill helpers from demon cultivators or tribulation cultivators.
Three against one, only then would they be confident.
They must also choose the best timing and location.
The interception at ten thousand feet in the air just now was hard to achieve.
"So, it was rely a coincidence?"
"Those two Golden Cores looked like they were from Thousand chanism Sect."
"Could that young Golden Core True Master possibly be Thousand chanism Sect’s prodigy, True Master of Spirit Refining?"
"The other is his master, Sect Leader Qing Hui of Thousand chanism Sect?"
You can’t bla Shen Xuan.
That line of dialogue was too impactful.
Just considering his own fortune, Shen Xuan had to stay away.
Shen Xuan found a water source.
Then, transford into a spirit snake, diving into the water.
He passed through the Grand Rivers, escaping into the East Sea.
Summoning the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, he flew over the sea toward Starlight Island.
Above the sea, Shen Xuan had enough confidence to confront any True Master.
"Ah, if only the assassins from Shadow Assassination Gate ca to the East Sea to ambush , that would be great."
However, the likelihood is low.
As an assassination organization with a legacy of a million years, they wouldn’t make such a basic mistake.
At this mont, Shen Xuan didn’t want to directly confront Shadow Assassination Gate.
Winning wouldn’t yield any worthwhile spoils of war.
Losing would an utter ruin.
His lifespan is long, with abundant cultivation resources.
No need to fight desperately against assassins from Shadow Sect.
Even True Master Changsheng, Shen Xuan didn’t take seriously.
As ti passed, the gap between True Master Changsheng and him would only grow bigger.
"Living long is most important. The advantage of ti is on my side."
...
Shen Xuan quietly returned to Starlight Island.
Deep in the Cold Ice Cave mansion.
A Spirit Pool was developed here.
Beside the pool, lies a Spirit Grass field, nourished by the pool water, lush and vibrant.
At this mont, just north of the Spirit Pool, the Spirit Grass is shrouded in a layer of white frost.
Shen Xuan had just set up the Profound Ice Spirit Locking Array here.
"Profound Ice Locking Spirit!"
With a low shout from Shen Xuan, the array flags shone brightly.
Centered on him, an icy blue array diagram erged from the ground, quickly spreading, soon locking the water Spiritual Qi within a hundred-foot radius.
The water Spirit Vein beneath this land was forcibly sealed and transford by the Profound Ice Locking Array, dispersing a chillingly pure ice Spiritual Qi.
Inside the locking array, the grassland turned into a piece of frozen earth, the air was piercingly cold, and the edges of the Spirit Pool froze with a thick layer of ice.
Shen Xuan was quite satisfied with this.
He took out two Jade Boxes, one large and one small, extracting all thirty-sothing pieces of Flowing Frost Cold Soul Tea seeds from within.
This Spirit Tea is fond of extre cold, only able to thrive in pure ice Spirit Vein.
Shen Xuan cautiously sowed the Spirit Tea seeds into the frozen earth.
By normal standards, even with an ice Spirit Vein, these Spirit Tea seeds grow very slowly.
The Flowing Frost Cold Soul Tea tree guarded by Flowing Frost Snow Wolves was at least a thousand years old.
Shen Xuan naturally didn’t have the patience to wait.
"The secret technique of Demon Wood Sect is indeed sowhat useful."
Shen Xuan recalled a spirit-accelerating secret technique from Demon Wood Sect.
With a wave of his sleeve, amid the ice Spiritual Qi, a gigantic vortex appeared,
Tens of thousands of colorful Heartburn Demon Butterfly corpses, like raindrops, fell evenly covering the frozen earth.
These Tier One demon insect corpses, devoid of Essence Blood, beca the best fertilizer for Spirit Tea.
"With your self-immolated remains, replenish the extre cold Spirit Roots."
Shen Xuan cast a spell, channeling the secret technique of Demon Wood Sect.
The demon butterfly corpses silently dissolved, transforming into strange pure and gentle Spiritual Energy, perating deep into the frozen earth.
This Spiritual Energy, different from the spirit of grass and trees, carrying an odd scorching heat, perfectly nourished the ice Spirit Vein here.
The frozen earth underwent a magical transformation.
The Spiritual Energy of the Heartburn Demon Butterfly remnants perated the frozen earth, absorbed by the Spirit Tea seeds, breaking their dormant state.
Shen Xuan continually cast spells on this frozen earth, injecting Primordial Ice Spiritual Power precisely into the Spirit Tea seeds.
Several days later.
The vitality of the Spirit Tea seeds increased significantly, as the embryonic roots quietly grew, the sprouts pushed out the cotyledons, breaking through the surface of the frozen soil.
Seeing that more than ninety percent of the Spirit Tea seeds sprouted new shoots, Shen Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With a slight movent of his Divine Sense, he pointed a finger at the Spirit Pool.
The pool’s water parted.
A Jade Spirit Clam, the size of a millstone, floated up to the surface of the pool.
The clam shell slightly opened and closed, revealing inside a radiant Sea Spirit Pearl.
Shen Xuan unceremoniously took the Sea Spirit Pearl away.
"All these years, you’ve only nurtured this much. You really know how to slack off!"
Shen Xuan scolded angrily.
This Jade Spirit Clam had been with him for nearly a century.
In the beginning, Shen Xuan extracted blood for refinent.
Later on, he stopped extracting blood and let it grow freely.
The Jade Spirit Clam, leisurely living and eating, was now a Tier Two Upper Grade Water Demon.
"Henceforth, at dawn and moonrise each day, use the Spirit Water from the Spirit Pool to irrigate this Spiritual Land without interruption."
"One inch of Spirit Water each ti. If you neglect this, I’ll stew you!"
The Jade Spirit Clam, full of intelligence, tapped its shell repeatedly to indicate receipt of the order.
Then, it opened its shell, and a stream of clear water shot out, evenly spraying over the frozen soil.
The Spirit Water seeped into the frozen soil, rging with the bewitching Spiritual Energy and the Spirit Vein Spiritual Qi, nurturing the Spirit Tea seeds together.
Shen Xuan looked at the budding Frosted Cold Tea Garden, nodding with satisfaction.
The inheritance of the Demon Wood Sect, though sinister, was indeed useful.
As long as one is willing to invest resources, they could cultivate Spirit Plants of a hundred years within ten years.
"Finally resolved the issue of the Frosted Cold Spirit Tea."
This Frosted Cold Spirit Tea was much stronger than the Cold Leaf Spirit Tea he used to drink.
With its three major benefits of containing pure Ice Spiritual Power, nurturing the Divine Soul, and enhancing perception, it was exactly what Shen Xuan needed.
Long-term consumption of this tea, accumulatively over ti, would greatly benefit his cultivation.
...
After planting the Spirit Tea seeds, Shen Xuan wrote to True Master Chang Chun, inviting him for a eting on Starlight Island.
The Frosted Cold Spirit Tea seeds were Ice Attribute Spirit Tea, and he used the Profound Ice Spirit Locking Array as the foundation, along with the Secret Technique of the Demon Wood Sect for rapid growth, instructing the Jade Spirit Clam to water with Spirit Water day and night.
He was quite confident about the rapid germination and growth of the Spirit Tea seeds.
However, he had no confidence at all in the Treasure Gourd Spirit Vine he traded from the Flying Cloud Leopard King.
This item, similar to gambling on jade, entirely depends on luck.
The attributes of the resulting Treasure Gourd are unpredictable.
Though it had an age of eight hundred years, planting it for just two hundred years would reveal the outco.
If Shen Xuan was willing to invest resources, he could use the Secret Technique of the Divine Wood Sect to accelerate its maturity within decades.
"Better invite Senior Brother Chang Chun to have a look."
Shen Xuan wrote to True Master Chang Chun, inviting him for a discussion on Starlight Island.
He prepared fine Tier Three Spirit Tea for him to taste.
"Husband, your two junior sisters have arrived!"
Just as he exited the secret chamber, Shangguan Yan’Er ca forward to report.
Shen Xuan received the greeting card, noticing the signatures of Wu Xueting, Wu Yuting, and another na, Wu Yaoyu.
Wu Yaoyu’s na was listed before Wu Xueting and Wu Yuting.
This also implied that this person’s status was above that of his two junior sisters.
"Take them to the reception hall."
"Please, dear wife, attend to them first."
Nominally, the Wu sisters were his junior sisters from a line of the solitary peak.
Although he didn’t think highly of them, he still had to maintain superficial courtesies.
Shen Xuan returned to the house, changing into resplendent attire.
By the ti he arrived at the reception hall, the Wu sisters were all smiles, chirping complints to Qin Yuehan.
A calm and composed young man in a white robe sat there, slightly smiling.
"Senior Brother, you’re here!"
Wu Yuting exclaid joyfully.
In front of Qin Yuehan, she was more reserved, not as casual as before.
"Why isn’t Senior Sister Yun here?"
Shen Xuan didn’t answer her, instead glancing at the young man in the white robe.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my seventh brother, Wu Yaoyu."
Wu Yaoyu stood up, cupping his fists in salute: "This junior, Wu Yaoyu, greets Master Profound Ice."
Although he was the cousin of the Wu sisters, he was not of the sa line.
According to the rules of the Cultivation Realm, he still had to salute Shen Xuan as a junior.
Shen Xuan glanced over him with his Divine Sense, nodding slightly.
"Your cultivation is not bad."
This wasn’t empty praise.
Wu Yaoyu was a Wood Cultivator in Foundation Establishnt Perfection with a solid Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.
On the surface, Wu Yaoyu had the chance to congeal a Fake Pill.
"Master Profound Ice flatters !"
At Shen Xuan’s complint, a trace of unrestrained excitent showed on the reserved Wu Yaoyu.
"Who is your master?"
"My master is Ming Xin True Master."
"Oh, it’s him."
Ming Xin True Master was the Lord of the Immortal City of the Sea Moon. Shen Xuan had little dealings with him.
However, after Shen Xuan killed Ge Chengming, Ming Xin True Master seed to have intentionally turned a blind eye, allowing him to leave.
"Seventh Brother is here to seek Senior Brother’s help."
Wu Yuting said straightforwardly.
"Speak, what do you want from Senior Brother?"
Shen Xuan said blandly.
If it were a small favor, he wouldn’t mind doing it in passing.
"Senior Brother, he’s here to ask you to refine a Golden Transformation Pill."
Qin Yuehan explained.
In front of outsiders, Qin Yuehan still addressed him as Senior Brother.
"Oh. Did you bring the materials?"
Shen Xuan beca interested upon hearing about the Golden Transformation Pill commission.
He had posted a task to refine Golden Transformation Pills at the Cyan Cloud Sect’s task hall.
This was the first ti soone had co to him directly.
"I brought them."
Wu Yaoyu said.
"Seventh Brother, quickly take them out and let Senior Brother have a look!"
Wu Yuting urged him.
