Chapter 543: Icefiend Demon Body
The border between Liang Country and Song Country, in an unnamed valley.
A Silver-Horned Celestial Horse descends.
Shen Xuan seals a technique, conjuring several Dark Ice Fish to create an isolation barrier.
"A complete Ice Demon Jiao should be a Middle Grade Demon Pill. The harvest this time has been great."
Shen Xuan thought to himself.
A hint of joy appeared on his face.
"With this Ice Demon Jiao, the True Spirit Dharma Aspect can advance considerably again."
Opposite him, Wan Meng Demon Venerable smiled affably, waiting for his reward.
Previously, the agreement between the two was that the Flood Dragon Pill and Flood Dragon Blood would go to Shen Xuan, while the rest went to Wan Meng Demon Venerable.
She wants to use the Ice Demon Jiao meat to refine the Blood Demon Pill, suppressing the backlash force of the Charm Technique within her.
The Blood Demon Pill is a regular demon pill for Tier Three Demon Cultivators, refined from Tier Three Demon Beast meat, which enhances the power of the divine soul and suppresses the backlash of the demon technique inside.
However, the Ice Demon Jiao is rare.
Shen Xuan’s hunt required considerable effort.
And Wan Meng Demon Venerable, after obtaining the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method, wasn’t urgently in need of the Blood Demon Pill.
"Here is the mental technique for the second and third layers of the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method."
Shen Xuan took out an Inheritance Jade Scroll.
"It contains my cultivation insights. You follow my path in cultivation, breaking through to the third layer is not a big issue."
In Shen Xuan’s view, Wan Meng Demon Venerable cultivating the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method, forming the White Bone Luminous Observation, generating the White Bone Treasure Pearl, is sufficient to suppress the backlash of the demon technique.
"If the cultivation succeeds, I will teach you the fourth layer, the final layer, of the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method."
Wan Meng Demon Venerable received it with a gentle smile.
Then, she displayed a waiting expression.
Shen Xuan took out four Demon Soldiers.
"You choose one yourself."
Wan Meng Demon Venerable chose a Blood Demon Saber from the selection.
It may not be the best, but it used the most expensive materials.
Just for one Flood Dragon information, Shen Xuan paid a piece of Demon Soldier, and the True Inheritance of the second and third layers of the White Bone Observation Internal Vision Method.
The price can be considered very high.
"Shen Lang, that Ice Demon Jiao meat..."
Shen Xuan slightly frowned, gazing at Wan Meng Demon Venerable.
"Shen Lang, don’t misunderstand Wan Meng. Wan Meng means, the Ice Demon Jiao meat is one of the best main ingredients for the Blood Demon Pill. If you have no other use, might as well refine it into a Blood Demon Pill."
Shen Xuan thought it over.
What Wan Meng Demon Venerable said was reasonable.
Using the Mysterious Jade Talisman, with assistance from the Nine-colored Treasure, to refine the demon core and essence blood of the Ice Demon Jiao, can gain skill proficiency and Dao Rhyme.
And the Ice Demon Jiao meat, contains too much demonic qi, too troublesome to refine.
Only increasing some spiritual power, not worth the effort.
"How is the Blood Demon Pill refined?"
Seeing Shen Xuan interested, Wan Meng Demon Venerable spoke eloquently.
It turns out, the Blood Demon Pill is hard currency within the Demon Sect of Liang Country.
The main ingredient is Tier Three Demon Beast meat.
Every furnace can refine ten thousand catties of Demon Beast meat, resulting in three to four pills.
Wan Meng Demon Venerable has channels to find experienced Demon Pill Masters.
Other auxiliary materials can also be acquired.
She only lacks high tier demon beast meat.
Shen Xuan inquired about the price of the Blood Demon Pill.
Ten Blood Demon Pills can be exchanged for one ordinary Demon Soldier.
"Using Ice Demon Beast meat to refine Blood Demon Pills works."
Shen Xuan said as he pondered.
"Wan Meng, you first go make contact. After some days, come find me at Starlight Island again."
"I will prepare the Ice Demon Jiao meat, bringing twenty thousand catties each time for alchemy."
This Ice Demon Jiao has a total of one hundred thousand catties.
"Moreover, I have in my possession a Profound Yin Demon Jiao, once prepared, it can similarly be refined into pills."
Shen Xuan said with a smile.
"After cooperating in refining Blood Demon Pills, how the shares are divided, you must keep a watchful eye, don’t get the short end."
Wan Meng Demon Venerable giggled and said, "Shen Lang, rest assured! No matter what, Wan Meng will only favor you!"
Shen Xuan nodded slightly.
"You do not fail me, and I will not fail you."
"If you fail me..."
Shen Xuan stopped speaking, smiling meaningfully.
Then, he mounted the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, soared into the sky, flew towards Song Country’s Starlight Island.
Wan Meng Demon Venerable gazed at Shen Xuan’s disappearing figure in a daze, softly sighing.
"This rascal!"
Turning her gaze to the Blood Demon Saber and Inheritance Jade Scroll in hand, she broke into a bright smile.
"Hmph, sooner or later, I’ll let you know, the power of this lady!"
...
Shen Xuan quietly returned to Starlight Island.
In the Cold Ice Cave, Li Ruyi, disguised as him, reverted to her appearance upon seeing Shen Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, back so soon?"
"Mm. Has anything happened on Starlight Island?"
"All is well."
"That’s good."
The two chatted idly for a while.
Li Ruyi vanished into the darkness.
Her Cave Mansion is adjacent to the Cold Ice Cave, directly connected to the underground depths.
Besides Shen Xuan, no one knows.
When Shen Xuan is away, he uses the excuse of secluded cultivation.
Li Ruyi transforms into his appearance, stays in the Practice Room just in case.
"With a True Master level cultivator presiding, the power of Calling Wind and Summoning Rain is extremely strong. Even if a Late-stage Golden Core True Master attacks, it can hold for many days."
"If I am on Starlight Island, a Late-stage Golden Core True Master may not necessarily gain the advantage."
Shen Xuan pondered privately.
Near Starlight Island, in the Wolong Archipelago, there are over a hundred Spirit Islands.
But Tier Three Spirit Islands, only a scant seven.
All belong to the Profound Celestial Sect, Golden Sun Sect, Divine Sword Sect among Song Country’s seven sects.
Besides Shen Xuan, the strength of other island masters is only True Pill True Masters.
None are opponents of Shen Xuan.
Currently, the sects of Yan Country and Song Country are at war.
The possibility of a Late-stage Golden Core True Master attacking Wolong Archipelago is nearly nonexistent.
This type of Spirit Island is far inferior to the land-based Spirit Veins.
Each Sect uses them to deal with the marginal True Masters.
Although True Master Cang Lan is a Golden Core True Master of the Profound Celestial Sect.
He is the weakest among the Golden Core True Masters.
The Yan Country Sect naturally looks down upon these Spirit Islands.
What they need are the land-based, Spiritual Qi-rich Tier Three Spiritual Lands.
"Aside from the Yan Country Sect Cultivators, those who can invade Starlight Island are only Water Demons and Sea Beasts."
"However, according to the records, Tier Three Water Demons and Sea Beasts rarely approach Wolong Archipelago."
"Their activity range is at least fifty thousand miles away from the land."
"There are quite a few Tier Two, and Tier One are even countless. This is also the main income source for island spirit fishermen."
"And I need to heal four newly appointed True Masters of Song Country."
"Thus, I have a dozen years of stable days on Starlight Island."
"Unless Song Country Sect suffers a crushing defeat and cannot resist the attack from the Yan Country Sect."
"With the strength of Song Country Sect, it hasn’t reached that level yet."
"In any case, it’s better to improve strength quickly."
Late at night.
Cold Ice Cave, Practice Room.
Shen Xuan directly takes out some Essence Blood of the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.
A burst of golden light flashes through the Mysterious Jade Talisman.
Dense golden small characters make his eyes blurry.
[Stealable Talent: Ice Fiend Demon Body, Extreme Cold Ice Fiend, Demon Scale Ice Armor, Demon Flood Dragon Roar, Ice Fiend Demon Shield, Dark Flow Whirlpool, Ice Flood Dragon Demon Realm, Infinite Strength, Divine Dragon’s Suppression, Dragon Blood Boiling, Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, Overturning Rivers and Seas, Soaring Clouds and Mist, Wishful Size]
Shen Xuan pauses.
According to the plan, he should continue strengthening [Dragon Blood Boiling] skill.
It’s just that ice attribute talent skills are extremely rare.
Many ice attribute skills make Shen Xuan drool with desire.
[Dragon Blood Boiling] can be enhanced from the demon cores and essence blood of other Divine Dragon descendants, ice attribute talent skills cannot be missed.
Shen Xuan first ruled out [Demon Scale Ice Armor] and [Ice Fiend Demon Shield] these defensive ice techniques.
He has the nine-colored treasure lotus body protection, immensely strong defense.
Between [Ice Fiend Demon Body] and [Extreme Cold Ice Fiend], Shen Xuan finally chooses [Ice Fiend Demon Body].
"If I guess correctly, [Ice Fiend Demon Body] is similar to [Green Wood Dao Body], it can greatly increase the flesh body’s ice spiritual power affinity."
As for whether it’s a demon body or dao body, Shen Xuan doesn’t mind.
After all, he has the nine-colored treasure lotus body protection, cultivating into a Glazed Treasure Body, not afraid of demonic qi erosion.
[Talent: Ice Fiend Demon Body (18/100)]
[Dao Rhyme: 352818]
Shen Xuan calculated.
Can refine three percent essence blood of Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon in one session.
The Mysterious Jade Talisman’s cooldown time is ten days.
In about a year, he can completely refine the essence blood of Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.
Gain about three hundred thousand Dao Rhyme, more than the Overturning Sea Flood Dragon.
This also confirms, Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon is Abnormal Spirit Root, higher tier.
Fully refining essence blood, demon core, reverse scale of Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon, takes about three years.
The harvest from demon core, surpasses essence blood.
Adding reverse scale.
Can gain about nine hundred thousand Dao Rhyme.
[Ice Fiend Demon Body] should step into Great Success.
In this way, his ice spiritual power affinity improves greatly.
Speed of cast, ice technique might, will have a qualitative leap.
"A horse cannot get fat without night grass, a man cannot be rich without unexpected wealth!"
Shen Xuan secretly thought.
If diligently practicing can succeed, why are there so many Qi Cultivation Cultivators in this Cultivation Realm?
"Both hands must be ready, both hands must be strong. Ice technique might needs enhancement, True Spirit Dharma Aspect’s combat power also needs enhancement."
"First, is solving the weapon issue."
Initially, Shen Xuan from Cyan Cloud Sect’s warehouse, obtained the heavy ice spiritual artifact Gui Water Cold Iron Stick.
But, this so-called "heavy" is relative to other cultivators.
To Shen Xuan, still too light.
Although its main material is ten-thousand-year cold iron and Gui Water essence, inherently carrying ice fiend aura, can freeze all things, harm the Divine Soul.
However, Shen Xuan’s True Spirit Dharma Aspect follows the path of proving dao with strength.
The heavier the weapon, the better.
For this reason, he saw the Gold Spirit Clan’s Young Master’s clone, made of Demon Realm’s abnormal gold, can change at will, gave rise to the intention of robbing.
Shen Xuan stayed on Starlight Island for a month.
Decomposed, prepared, and stored different parts of the Profound Yin Demon Flood Dragon and Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.
Completely removed dragon scales, put them into two large storage pouches.
Let Li Ruyi pretend to be him, declaring closed cultivation to the outside.
Shen Xuan himself, transformed into a young cultivator’s appearance, sneaked into the East Sea, turned into Flood Dragon, roamed to Cyan Cloud Sect’s vicinity.
Early morning, Shen Xuan registers at Cyan Cloud Sect’s mountain gate, instructing the guardian cultivator not to make noise, alone heads to Jade Sun Peak’s Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.
A stick of incense later.
True Master Jade Sun hurriedly returns.
The two sit opposite each other.
"Junior Brother Profound Ice, the piece of abnormal gold you brought is indeed extraordinary!"
True Master Jade Sun holds a specially made Jade Box, inside lies the Gold Spirit Clan Young Master’s clone.
His eyes are full of amazement.
"Who is this person?"
"Gold Spirit Clan Young Master Jin Lijian’s clone."
Shen Xuan briefly recounts the matter of Demon Realm’s space and Demon Realm’s passage.
"So that’s how it is!"
True Master Jade Sun sighs lightly.
"I was wondering why this abnormal gold is so strange; it turns out to be Demon Realm’s abnormal gold."
"Senior Brother Jade Sun, can this gold be fused into my Cold Iron Stick?"
"It can be done, but..."
True Master Jade Sun gazes at Shen Xuan.
"This abnormal gold is incredibly tough, containing Demon Realm’s essence demon essence, can taint cultivator’s flesh body and spiritual artifacts. If it’s fused into your Cold Iron Stick, its might greatly increases, having a strong restraining effect on Spirit Cultivator’s protective aura and spiritual artifacts."
Hearing this, Shen Xuan rejoices: "It’s this characteristic that makes Profound Ice want to ask Senior Brother Jade Sun to incorporate it into my Cold Iron Stick."
He takes out that Gui Water Cold Iron Stick.
True Master Jade Sun hesitates.
"Junior Brother Profound Ice, have you thought it through?"
"In this way, this Cold Iron Stick’s attributes change significantly. Its nature is inherently cold, once fused with this Demon Realm’s abnormal gold, it becomes an object of extreme cold and hardness, immense might, heavy power, difficult to precisely control."
