Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

"If you see this person, capturing them alive and bringing them back to the Sacred Land will earn you a great merit. Killing them directly and bringing back the corpse will earn two times medium merit!"

Jin Lijian said in a resolute voice.

Niu Dali, Ding Chunhua, and Hua Yanting’s faces showed joyous expressions upon hearing this.

In their view, the Xuan Yuan Realm is just an ordinary lower realm.

Even though there are some Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Demon Infant Ancestors, they are intimidated by the mighty ones from the Demon Race and dare not attack these juniors.

The so-called Golden Core True Masters and Holy Pill Demon Lords are, in their eyes, nothing significant.

Especially the so-called Holy Pill Demon Lord, who originally cultivated by imitating their Demon Race’s cultivation techniques, can be easily restrained by them.

One great merit can be exchanged for a Holy Artifact for Nascent Soul Formation.

Three times medium merit accumulates to one great merit.

Jin Lijian has offered high merit rewards for capturing or killing this person.

Niu Dali asked in a booming voice, "Young Master, do you know this person’s background and name?"

Jin Lijian said solemnly, "This person’s surname is Shen, full name Shen Xuan, he is a Golden Core True Master from the Cyan Cloud Sect, his title is Profound Ice, he excels in Ice Technique and Thunder Technique, and also cultivates Body Refining Technique."

"This person is quite resourceful, do not underestimate him. Alright, take these useless ones over there!"

Jin Lijian pulled out a magical fan and gently fanned it towards the tens of thousands of demon soldiers below the stage.

A demon wind arose, sweeping the tens of thousands of demon soldiers into the Demon Realm passage.

Niu Dali, Ding Chunhua, and Hua Yanting transformed into escape light and flew in.

A moment later, the demon wind ceased.

On the jade platform, only Jin Lijian and the charming girl, along with their attendants and maids, were left.

The charming girl smiled sweetly.

"Brother, how come you never mentioned this person before?"

"I refined an avatar and sent it down to a Demon Realm space in the Xuan Yuan Realm, where this person used vile methods to trap the avatar and erased the connection with its Divine Soul."

"Ah! Such a thing actually happened! Even an avatar controlled by your Divine Soul should be beyond the capability of a Golden Core True Master to resist in the Xuan Yuan Realm!"

"This person is full of cunning tricks. I was caught off guard, lured to the space outside the Demon Realm, where my avatar’s power was greatly reduced due to the limitations of the Xuan Yuan Realm’s natural laws."

Jin Lijian pondered and said, "If I haven’t misjudged, the Body Refining Technique this person cultivates is rather extraordinary, it seems to be able to mimic the Divine Power of a True Dragon."

"He can mimic the Divine Power of a True Dragon? If that’s the case, he truly is remarkable!"

The charming girl blinked her eyes, "Brother, after capturing him alive, when you search his soul, could you lend that Body Refining Technique to your sister for a look?"

"Even if there are one or two things worth considering in lower realm Body Refining Techniques, how could they possibly compare with the Phantom Gold Holy Demon Technique handed down by our Golden Spirit Race?"

The charming girl laughed lightly.

"Sister is merely curious. Brother won’t be so stingy, will you?"

Jin Lijian laughed lightly and said, "How about this, if this person is captured alive, I’ll force him to write down the refining technique and give it to Sister."

...

Yan Country.

Yuanwu County.

Amidst a desolate mountain.

A nimble three-tailed wildcat was riding swiftly across the wilderness on a golden dual-headed flood dragon snake.

Black fog billowed behind them.

Tens of thousands of black-eyed three-headed demon wolves pursued furiously like a tide, the piercing wolf howls echoing across the sky.

At the forefront of the wolf pack, an exceptionally large three-headed demon wolf king, three wolf heads simultaneously raised in a long howl.

The demonic aura surged around its body, it was clearly Tier Three Middle Grade.

Beside it were two smaller wolf kings with slightly weaker aura, ferocious in appearance, slightly weaker in breath, both were Tier Three Lower Grade.

Under the command of the three-headed demon wolf king, tens of thousands of demon wolves encircled the three-tailed wildcat and dual-headed flood dragon snake.

Among the demon wolf pack, dozens had reached Tier Two.

The remaining demon wolves were mostly Tier One Middle Grade.

Their combat power was comparable to Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Under the command of the wolf king, the demon wolf pack surrounded the three-tailed wildcat and dual-headed flood dragon snake from all directions.

Seeing they’re getting closer, the dual-headed flood dragon snake suddenly soared, carrying the three-tailed wildcat into a deep dense forest.

The demon wolf king did not hesitate, leading the wolf pack to surge in.

When most of the demon wolves stepped into the dense forest.

At this moment, a spiritual light suddenly shone.

Dozens of runes shot up from the ground around the dense forest, instantly forming a profound array.

Stars of spiritual light flowed, and layers of spiritual mist began to spread.

Not only did it obscure sight and smell, but it also blocked the Demon King’s perception.

This was the Mysterious Wood Demon Confounding Array.

Utilizing the earth veins and dense forest to disrupt the five senses and intelligence of demons.

The three-headed demon wolf king was extremely furious.

He realized that the wolf pack he led had fallen into a trap.

Before him, there was nothing but boundless spiritual mist.

All the citizens had disappeared.

The three-headed demon wolf king howled in despair, suddenly spewing several streams of demonic fire, spraying wildly in all directions.

Some demonic fire hit the Array Flags of the Mysterious Wood Demon Confounding Array, making sizzling burning sounds.

The three-headed demon wolf king’s eyes showed delight, and the three wolf heads simultaneously sprayed demonic fire toward the Array Flags.

"This demon wolf king does have some wisdom!"

Outside the dense forest.

Shen Xuan brought Wen Luoying, Fang Huixue, and others, along with over a thousand Late Stage Qi Cultivation cultivators, revealing their figures.

Beside him stood a pristine giant fox.

"Fellow Daoist Howling Moon, your expertise in the Array Dao is becoming increasingly profound!"

Shen Xuan said to the Howling Moon Fox beside him.

This time, he was ordered to march into Yan Country.

He went to the Wilderness and invited Howling Moon Fox and the three-tailed wildcat to assist.

After the expedition, according to their contributions, they would divide the spoils.

Howling Moon Fox and the three-tailed cat readily agreed.

Shen Xuan’s task was to exterminate the demon beasts in Yuanwu County.

The demon tide was raging here, and the most powerful group of demon beasts was this pack of black-eyed three-headed demon wolves.

One large and two small wolf kings, all were Tier Three.

Faced with other True Masters, it’s quite troublesome.

But for Shen Xuan, it’s not a problem.

Li Ruyi, Howling Moon Fox, three-tailed cat, plus himself.

Two True Masters, two Demon Kings, the advantage is evident.

Tier Three demon beasts possess intelligence, but due to the impurity of demonic aura, they are violent in nature, with low intelligence, much lower than the intelligence of demons of the same tier.

Using the terrain here, Howling Moon Fox set up a confounding array.

Let the three-tailed wildcat, riding on the corpse beast dual-headed flood dragon snake controlled by Shen Xuan’s Divine Soul, provoke the three-headed demon wolf pack, killing more than a dozen wolf pups.

As expected, the furious demon wolf king led tens of thousands of demon wolves, chasing furiously, following the three-tailed cat into the Mysterious Wood Demon Locking Array.

"Just a little skill, not worthy of True Master Shen’s praise."

said the Howling Moon Fox modestly.

Yet a hint of pride appeared on the fox’s face.

A Tier Three Array Master.

A Demon King with such mastery of arrays is rare in the entire Wilderness.

Shen Xuan’s Divine Thought stirred slightly.

A puff of black smoke rose from the Soul Nourishing Wood at his waist.

Li Ruyi appeared holding a Nine Netherworld Soul-Capturing Lantern.

Shen Xuan glanced at the triple-headed Demon Wolf King within the trapping array.

It went berserk, spewing demonic fire, targeting one of the Array Flags.

Seeing that Array Flag tottering, about to be shattered by the triple-headed Demon Wolf King.

"Fellow Daoist Li, can you handle that triple-headed Demon Wolf King?"

Li Ruyi nodded slightly.

In a flash, she flew into the array to confront the triple-headed Demon Wolf King.

Inside the Profound Wood Trapping Demon Array, demonic qi surged, and demonic fire blazed.

Li Ruyi held up the Nine Netherworld Soul-Capturing Lantern, its ghostly fire eerily glowing, like a silent emissary from the Netherworld, hovering in the air.

Her appearance startled the triple-headed demon wolf.

The three wolf heads showed a fierce expression, growling softly at Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi formed a spell with her hands.

The triple-headed Demon Wolf King erupted with bursts of pitch-black demonic qi, twisting the surrounding void.

"Awooo!"

Without waiting for Li Ruyi to strike.

The triple-headed Demon Wolf King roared angrily, spewing a jet of ink-black demonic fire, carrying a terrifying, corrupted aura, straight towards Li Ruyi’s face.

The flames ignited and burned dust suspended in the air.

Li Ruyi’s expression remained unchanged; the Nine Netherworld Soul-Capturing Lantern in her hand suddenly shone brilliantly.

"Nether Lantern Captures Soul!"

With a low shout, the ghostly flame on the Nine Netherworld Soul-Capturing Lantern flared up, shooting a solid beam of white light.

At an astonishing speed, disregarding the burning demonic fire, it directly struck the body of the triple-headed Demon Wolf King.

The huge body of the Demon Wolf King suddenly stiffened, the violent fury in its six wolf eyes scattered, turning dazed in an instant.

This was the Nether Cultivator Divine Power: Nether Lantern Captures Soul, which Li Ruyi comprehended after her Core Formation.

It was quite effective against Demon Beasts with weak Divine Souls.

The Divine Soul of the triple-headed demon wolf was trapped by the Soul-Stabilizing Divine Light.

Li Ruyi formed a spell with her hands, gently guiding the Soul-Capturing Lantern.

In the next moment, a struggling, inch-sized phantom of the demon wolf wailed as it was captured from the Demon Wolf King’s flesh body, turning into pure demon soul, refined by the Nine Netherworld Soul-Capturing Lantern.

The ghostly fire within the lantern seemed to become brighter.

"Fellow Daoist Li’s lantern is terrifying!"

The face of the three-tailed tabby cat showed a trace of surprise.

In a solo fight, she was confident she could defeat the triple-headed Demon Wolf King.

But Li Ruyi won so easily.

This left the three-tailed tabby cat somewhat discontent.

Li Ruyi transformed into a black light, flying back to Shen Xuan’s side.

In her eyes, the Profound Wood Trapping Demon Array was nothing.

"True Master Shen, glad to fulfill the mission."

Li Ruyi presented the corpse of the triple-headed Demon Wolf King to Shen Xuan.

The Howling Moon Fox glanced at Li Ruyi.

Shen Xuan stored away the corpse of the triple-headed Demon Wolf King.

"Alright. Fellow Daoist Howling Moon, Fellow Daoist Three-Tails. You shall deal with those two little wolf kings. They are yours."

Hearing this, the three-tailed tabby cat cheerfully said, "Great. Three-Tails accepts."

The Howling Moon Fox nodded in agreement.

These two little wolf kings were their reward for joining the fray this time.

The Howling Moon Fox and the three-tailed tabby cat transformed into white and purple escape lights, flying into the Profound Wood Trapping Demon Array.

A fox and a cat raised the Immortal Binding Rope, effortlessly tying up the two little wolf kings.

Shen Xuan watched with a smile.

Then, his face turned solemn, taking out the Cyan Cloud Sect Token.

"All disciples, heed the order!"

"We are here."

Behind him, over a thousand cultivators responded in unison.

"Everyone, follow your leader, enter the depths of the forest, and capture the demon wolf pack within the array."

"Yes, as commanded!"

Under the guidance of Wen Luoying, Fang Huixue, and six others, eight hundred-person teams consecutively entered the forest, spreading out in eight directions.

After these disciples went in, Shen Xuan spoke to Li Ruyi beside him.

"The thousands of demon wolves will provide them with a period of battle."

Li Ruyi asked, "When should I go in?"

"Ten days or so."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment.

In ten days, nine out of ten of the demon wolves inside would be slain.

The remaining ones would be captured and refined by Li Ruyi using her Nether Cultivator Divine Power.

This time, Shen Xuan led the expedition to Yan Country.

Besides exterminating Demon Beasts and suppressing the demonic tide in Yuanwu County.

It was also aimed at training these sect and family disciples.

Especially for the eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Wen Luoying and Fang Huixue.

Experiencing life-and-death battles to unleash their potential was their inevitable path to breakthrough and advancement.

The same applied to other Qi Cultivation Disciples.

Moreover, they also needed to kill demon wolves, collect resources, and strive to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Although there are dozens of Tier Two demon wolves inside, they lack intelligence and are trapped by the array."

"Each hundred-person team is led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As long as they form an array, dealing with a few Tier Two demon wolves is more than sufficient."

Shen Xuan’s Divine Sense enveloped the Profound Wood Trapping Demon Array within the forest, looking relaxed.

As long as these eight Foundation Establishment cultivators were not in life-threatening danger, he would not intervene personally.

"Let’s hope everything goes smoothly!"

Evidently, Shen Xuan was not fortunate.

Just two days later, an unexpected event occurred.
