Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 695 - 637: Array Dao Deployment

The transaction meeting organized by the top sects of the Song and Liang Countries is of a very high level.

The participants must be at least in the True Pill Realm.

The venue is set at the border between Song and Liang Countries, in a place called Demon Suppression Valley.

Shen Xuan instinctively looked at the organizers of the meeting.

True Master Xuan Xiang of the Profound Celestial Sect, and Demon Venerable Qing Huan of the Hehuan Sect.

Hmm, he doesn’t know them.

Shen Xuan memorized these two names.

Then he returned the invitation to Shangguan Yan’Er.

"Write a reply in my tone, politely declining. Just say that I am in closed-door cultivation and cannot attend."

"Alright, husband."

Shangguan Yan’Er smiled gently.

The high-level transaction meeting co-organized by the Profound Celestial Sect and the Hehuan Sect should see a lot of rare treasures emerging.

The fairness and safety of the transactions should be guaranteed.

However, for Shen Xuan, it has little significance.

Ordinary treasures have no appeal to him.

What he needs are quasi-Tier Four spiritual objects, heavenly spirit water, Nascent Soul Pills, and Nascent Soul spiritual objects.

The likelihood of these treasures appearing at such a meeting is very small.

Moreover, Shen Xuan thought, he has no personal connections with True Master Xuan Xiang or Demon Venerable Qing Huan.

There is no need to join the excitement.

He has stable trade channels.

The Purple Yunting Tree Emperor of the Wilderness, various Demon Kings, the Mingyu Demon Sect of Liang Country’s Demon Sect, Wan Meng Demon Venerable, and Thousand Eyes Demon Venerable.

Mingyu Demon Venerable, Wan Meng Demon Venerable, and Qing Huan Demon Venerable all belong to the Hehuan Sect.

There is no need to forsake close partners when there is no major interest involved.

Hmm, Wan Meng Demon Venerable is also his bed partner.

Moreover, she performs well and cooperates seamlessly, making him quite satisfied.

Shen Xuan temporarily does not want to sever ties with Wan Meng Demon Venerable.

"What are True Master Xuan Xiang and Demon Venerable Qing Huan up to? There’s no harm in being cautious; no one drops pies from the sky."

Currently, he is not lacking in cultivation resources.

The Ice Technique progresses steadily.

The Body Refining focuses on stability.

He has two Golden Cores for the Fire Technique, enough for him to refine for over ten years.

Aside from his own cultivation, Shen Xuan also has to spare some effort to guide the growth of the Purple Yunting Tree and monitor the maturation of the True Flame Gourd.

Besides, Shen Xuan also plans to deeply study array formations.

At this point, his alchemy and talisman arts have both reached Tier Three Upper Grade.

With the conditions at Cyan Cloud Sect, it is hard to provide high-tier spiritual materials for him to practice.

Such as longevity spirit pills at the True Pill Realm.

Only Danxia Sect in Song Country can refine those.

Even if Shen Xuan obtains the pill formula and inheritance for the Longevity Pill.

Cyan Cloud Sect lacks the financial resources and channels to gather herbs for him to concoct the Longevity Pill.

The same goes for the Talisman Dao.

Shen Xuan can draw talismans in the void.

But truly potent talismans still require high-tier spiritual materials, such as essence blood cinnabar from beasts above Demon King level and talisman skins made from quasi-Tier Four spiritual wood.

In the short term, Shen Xuan’s alchemy and talisman arts will be hard to improve, basically reaching their cap.

He can practice another cultivation technique.

Among array formations and puppetry, Shen Xuan eventually chose array formations.

He has the Corpse Beast Technique, which has effects similar to puppetry.

With the improvement of his realm cultivation, a Tier Two Top Grade two-headed flood dragon snake is no longer sufficient.

He needs to find a Tier Three or higher demon beast or demonic beast to refine into a corpse beast.

Refining a Tier Three or higher corpse beast takes considerable time and effort.

The medicinal resources consumed are quite valuable.

With a mindset of preferring quality over quantity, Shen Xuan does not want to hastily refine one.

In his plan, a Tier Three corpse beast will be his helper for a long time in the future.

It needs to have considerable strength.

Not merely a consumable like cannon fodder.

Originally, he planned to slay the blazing firebird to obtain its demon core and essence blood, and refine its corpse into a corpse beast.

However, who would have thought, the blazing firebird’s foundation is extraordinary, with robust divine bird bloodline and formidable strength.

Even if Shen Xuan could defeat it, it would come at a great cost.

He had to abandon this plan and instead seek cooperation to jointly slay the black water demon flood dragon.

"No rush with the corpse beast matter. Take your time to find the right one."

"It’s best to be avian, to serve as a mount. That Magic Wing Giant Roc would be fantastic."

For the current Shen Xuan, an ordinary Tier Three corpse beast has little use.

He barely needs consumable cannon fodder anymore.

In the Profound Origin Continent, it’s difficult for a Tier Three cultivator to pose a threat to him.

As for a Tier Four cultivator, low-tier consumable cannon fodder is nearly useless.

"To cultivate in Array Dao, finding Senior Brother Chong Xu in the sect is the easiest option."

Array Dao is among the most challenging of the hundreds of cultivation arts.

Shen Xuan practiced intermittently for some time.

He has the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique, which can see through illusions and perceive subtleties.

Coupled with various sensory skills, keen hearing, and acute smell and taste.

He is well-suited for practicing the path of array formations.

Particularly the path of breaking arrays within the array Dao.

Over the years, he hasn’t focused his energy and time on array research.

Not for lack of desire but for lack of conditions.

He was always struggling for survival, never having the peace of mind to delve deeply into array Dao.

Now, it’s just the right time to make up for this deficiency.

Shen Xuan revisited the Rao Family Array Essentials.

His array inheritance mainly comes from this book.

Looking at it now, it’s somewhat overly simple, but it forms the foundation of Shen Xuan’s array Dao.

After deeply studying the Rao Family Array Essentials, he only reached Tier Two Middle Grade as an Array Master.

At this moment, in the Profound Celestial Sect.

True Master Xuan Xiang received the polite refusal reply written by Shangguan Yan’Er on behalf, his face darkened.

He returned directly to his cave mansion and entered the secret chamber.

The heavy jade door of the secret chamber slowly closed.

True Master Xuan Xiang activated the chamber’s barrier prohibition.

Then, he took out a treasure mirror and cast a spell on it.

Soon, the treasure mirror reflected a virtual space.

Within it sat the projection of True Master Xuan Xiang.

Two other positions successively flashed with an escape light.
