Zhao Chunsheng quickly adapted to the new life of a shop owner after opening his store.
He no longer needed to fight and kill outside, fully utilizing his eloquence.
In just over a year, he established his business.
Of course, he couldn’t have done it without the help of Shen Xuan and Wang Fugui.
The launch of the "Water Escape Talisman" made his shop famous.
Especially the exquisite "Water Escape Talismans" helped him network and build connections.
Wang Fugui commissioned him to acquire specific sea demons and materials, earning himself a considerable commission.
Other products like spirit pills, talismans, and magical artifacts, all genuine spiritual objects from the Bishui Sect, yielded a small but steady profit.
After a year, excluding all expenses, he surprisingly earned over three thousand spirit stones.
He retained fifty percent, earning him seventeen hundred spirit stones a year, enough to support his family comfortably.
Shen Xuan had him keep an eye on high-grade water attribute sea demons, especially those with special talents.
One of them was the Black Jade Electric Eel.
A communal seabed demon beast, growing up to twenty feet long as an adult, its body resembles black jade, with thunder power stored in its tail.
In an instant, it can release electrical currents, stirring up waterstorms, forming electric fields that can spread over a range of dozens of feet.
Demon beasts and cultivators caught off guard in the electric field can easily be stunned, lose their mobility, and be devoured.
Alarmingly, Black Jade Electric Eels are communal beasts.
When dozens gather, the power of their thunder becos even more terrifying.
Even Foundation Establishnt Water Techniques dare not test their sharpness.
As a result, Black Jade Electric Eel essence blood cannot be bought in Yunyuan Immortal City.
In fact, it’s not just about Black Jade Electric Eels.
Essence blood from other high-grade water attribute demon beasts with special talents is also hard to obtain.
There are too many water cultivators in Yunyuan Immortal City!
The Bishui Sect is also purchasing high-grade water attribute demon beast materials at high prices.
Supply is unable to et demand!
So mid-grade water attribute demon beasts can still be spotted.
Low-grade water attribute demon beasts, however, are in surplus, being of great quality and price.
The Black Jade Electric Eel typically resides a hundred feet below the ocean surface.
There, it is pitch black with imnse water pressure, inhabited by various aquatic demon beasts, making water cultivators hesitant to risk their lives.
This ti, the appearance of Black Jade Electric Eels in shallow waters might be due to other reasons.
Zhao Chunsheng received information that a spiritual land might have erged in a nearby sea area!
However, Zhao Chunsheng could not confirm this information.
Shen Xuan didn’t mind.
Undersea spiritual lands are clearly beyond what he could venture into now.
What he valued more was the Black Jade Electric Eel.
Talents of lightning in water!
It could greatly enhance attack capabilities.
It could also be used for body refining, improving the strength of the flesh body.
"Such a special water attribute demon beast is difficult to acquire. There are too few, and so many cultivators need them!"
"Not only alchemists and artifact refiners but even many inner sect disciples of the Bishui Sect have been dispatched!"
...
At dawn.
Shen Xuan instructed Ding Yuyao to stay at ho.
He left Yunyuan Immortal City alone.
Along the way, he encountered many cultivators who had also just left the Immortal City.
Most were water cultivators.
They traveled in groups of three or five, forming teams.
It was rare to see anyone traveling alone.
These cultivators were early risers, heading out to hunt sea demons.
A few, like him, were in search of the Black Jade Electric Eel.
The sky was just starting to brighten.
Shen Xuan found a secluded corner, and using "Insight Technique," found no other cultivators around.
He used the "Invisibility Technique" and enhanced the "Concealing Breath Technique," stealthily disappearing.
He reached the seashore and quietly entered the water from a beach.
Yunyuan Immortal City is built on the edge of the East Sea.
Surrounding it are nurous islands with Spirit Veins from various Cultivation Clans.
Spirit Veins also exist under the sea, forming spiritual lands.
Each undersea spiritual land is inhabited by many water attribute demon beasts.
There are also various spiritual ores used for artifact refining and spirit plants for alchemy.
Hunting water attribute demon beasts and harvesting undersea spiritual ores and spirit plants has beco the main source of inco for most loose cultivators in Yunyuan Immortal City.
Those with good luck can earn thousands of spirit stones in one go, achieving sudden wealth!
Yet, the number of cultivators who fall and are buried in the bellies of demon beasts is countless.
Every day, there are cultivators who go out to sea and never return.
With the island families’ excavations, the less dangerous undersea spiritual lands close to islands have mostly been claid.
The remaining undersea spiritual lands are far from islands and the mainland, deep undersea, with high water pressure and strong demon beasts dwelling there.
The Black Jade Electric Eel is one such deep-sea demon beast.
Living at a hundred feet below the ocean surface, they rarely venture into shallow seas.
"Since acquiring them is not an option, I’ll take the initiative to strike."
Shen Xuan’s strength had long surpassed the perfection of Qi Cultivation.
In the seawater, with his array of talents, his power can conservatively be estimated as on par with Foundation Establishnt Water Techniques.
As for the Black Jade Electric Eel.
He had done so research.
The electric power of the Black Jade Electric Eel needs water as a dium for conduction.
He had the talent of "Water Repellent."
As long as he repelled the water around him, the electric power of the Black Jade Electric Eel could not reach him.
Without thunder power, the Black Jade Electric Eel is not at his rcy!
Shen Xuan needed to guard against other water cultivators.
However, he could also dissolve the attack techniques of water cultivators using the "Water Repelling Technique."
This was his confidence in daring to go to sea alone.
"Even against Foundation Establishnt Water Techniques, I can hold my own."
"Even if I can’t hold my own, I can use the ’Water Escape Technique’ to retreat unhard!"
Shen Xuan’s talent for "Water Escape" had reached mastery, and with the combined enhancent of "Water Control," "Iron Bone," and "Water Repellent," his escape technique could reach three hundred feet, with a speed of a hundred ters per second!
This speed, ordinary Foundation Establishnt Water Techniques could not possibly catch up with!
After moving to Yunyuan Immortal City, Shen Xuan had been searching for water attribute demon beasts with various special talents.
After obtaining the Sea Swordfish, he had difficulty acquiring enough quantities of water attribute demon beast essence blood.
The communal Black Jade Electric Eel perfectly t Shen Xuan’s needs!
...
In the depths of the ocean.
Shen Xuan used "Water Control" to move stealthily while using "Insight" to monitor the surrounding waters.
"According to Zhao Chunsheng’s intelligence, Black Jade Electric Eels had been spotted not far ahead."
The deeper he went, the deeper the ocean beca, and the more formidable deep-sea demon beasts appeared.
So were even tier two, comparable to the Human Race’s Foundation Establishnt.
Shen Xuan had no desire to provoke them, relying on his "Insight" talent, he repeatedly avoided various unknown deep-sea demon beasts in advance.
His target was singular: the Black Jade Electric Eel group.
At first, he could still sense so water cultivators.
As his distance from the shore increased, the number of cultivators he sensed decreased.
Everything around was pitch black.
In the water, a cultivator’s Divine Sense is limited, not even one-tenth of what it is on land.
However, relying on "Insight Technique," Shen Xuan could clearly perceive the water movents within thirty feet around him.
He cautiously investigated.
"The stronger the storm, the higher the price of the fish..."
Energized, Shen Xuan cautiously moved forward.
Suddenly, he sensed a strange force ahead.
It was thunder power!
Shen Xuan was overjoyed in his heart.
The Bishui Sword on his back automatically floated to his hand.
Accompanied by a buzzing sword hum, bright sword light pierced through the darkness, illuminating the underwater scene ahead.
It was the Black Jade Electric Eels!
Not just one, but seven!
At this mont, stimulated by the sword light, they suddenly beca violent.
In his vision, a dozen arcs of thunder power, flashing with a heart-pounding silver-white arc light, rapidly spread along the seawater.
The next mont, a silver-white electric field ford within thirty feet around the Black Jade Electric Eel group!
It extended toward Shen Xuan!
