Chapter 960 - 703: Wind and Thunder Spirit Wings
The subsequent conversation focused on expanding the current production capacity of the Tier Two new-type puppets.
This matter was actually already decided.
After half a year of integration, Bright Flame Sect had long secretly dissected and mastered the refining process of puppet eagles and puppet dogs, forming a well-defined refining assembly line.
Both sides tacitly understood this.
If the core inheritance of the new-type puppets hadn’t been quietly grasped, how could True Monarch Red Lotus bear to exchange that precious Red Lotus Spirit Fire with him!
True Master Shou Yang seemed to casually mention, "True Master Guo, I wonder if our sect can refine that Thunder Spirit Pearl?"
"This is Cyan Cloud Sect’s secret and I, Guo, do not know its method."
Shen Xuan smiled as he declined, not revealing anything.
The spread of new-type puppet inheritance was inevitable, regarded as a trade.
However, the Thunder Spirit Pearl was a source of wealth for Little Gu Peak and Starlight Island, so how could Shen Xuan foolishly sever his financial path!
Having hit a soft spot, True Master Shou Yang did not persist, and instead smiled, "Lastly, many young disciples within the sect admire True Master Guo’s puppetry technique. I wonder if you could select another group of clever individuals to listen to your teachings under the master’s guidance?"
"Sure," Shen Xuan readily agreed.
Teaching the refining, basic control, and maintenance methods of Tier Two puppetry was harmless and could also appease the other party.
This was Shen Xuan’s original intention.
Using the new Tier Two puppets to make an impact on the demon beast battlefield, resisting the Southern Wilderness Demon Race’s attack.
While he would immerse himself in Bright Flame Sect, leveraging its resources to focus on cultivating Fire Technique.
Waiting for his Fire Technique Golden Core to be enhanced to Primordial Golden Core, entering the Middle Stage.
Then he would seek ways to integrate the Dual Golden Core and continue to pursue the opportunity for Nascent Soul Formation.
At that moment, he stood insufficient odds against a Transformed Great Demon, lacking the assuredness of a killing blow.
Direct confrontation would be unwise.
Better to temporarily lie low, focusing internally on enhancing his strength.
Having achieved his goals, True Master Shou Yang chatted briefly before getting up to bid farewell.
Once sending off the guest, the cave mansion returned to silence.
Shen Xuan walked back to the window, his gaze extending into the depths of the sea of clouds.
Below Tiger Roar Peak, Bright Flame Sect’s workshops operated day and night, forging cold weapons for this demon beast war.
...
In the secret chamber, the Moonlight Stone emitted a cold glow.
Shen Xuan slowly withdrew his power, expelling a long stream of white breath, condensed yet undispersed.
He opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashed and quickly settled into calmness.
With a slight stirring of his Divine Thought, a jade box, entirely white, floated before him.
The lid lifted, and a thick blood aura mixed with faint arcs of electricity crackled, spreading.
Dark purple blood flowed quietly, occasionally flashing with startling purple-white lightning.
The Essence Blood of the Three-Eyed Thunder Roc.
Shen Xuan gazed at this clump of Essence Blood, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation.
Before encountering True Master Wang Yue, Liu Family cultivators were chased by this Three-Eyed Thunder Roc.
Pretending to be dead, he lured it closer, then unleashed Divine Dragon power, transforming his hand into a Dragon Claw, directly squeezing it to death.
Who would have thought, at the time there was a Black-winged Cold Crow King lurking aside.
The cowardly beast, witnessing the entire scene, actually sold the news to the Three-Eyed Thunder Peng Emperor.
Now, the name "Guo Shiyan" was blacklisted within the Southern Wilderness Demon Race.
The furious Three-Eyed Thunder Peng Emperor had repeatedly demanded Bright Flame Sect to hand over the person.
"So what if they know?"
Shen Xuan was indifferent.
After all, he wouldn’t leave the Bright Flame Sect’s mountain gates for decades.
This sect with a legacy spanning thousands of years had layers of Mountain Protection Array, its prohibitions as solid as an iron barrel.
Not to mention a mere Thunder Peng Emperor, even seven or eight Transformed Great Demons, attacking collectively without internal aid, couldn’t break through.
Furthermore, Bright Flame Sect and the Three-Eyed Thunder Peng Clan were deep-seated enemies.
Now, having acquired the new-type puppets he offered, it was the moment to rely on them, rushing to foster relations.
How could they sever their own arm!
Shen Xuan sensed the spiritual power fluctuations within the Thunder Roc Essence Blood.
"Wind and Thunder dual attributes, derived from the ancient Roc lineage."
He pondered internally.
"The Five Elements are the fundamental source of the world, Thunder Technique can be derived and transformed from the conduct of metal, wood, water, fire, earth. Could this Wind Spiritual Power also be conceived from them?"
In the Cultivation Realm, those with Wind Spirit Root were one in ten thousand, related cultivation techniques were even rarer.
If he could leverage this Essence Blood to glimpse a sliver of wind technique mystery...
"Trying will tell."
Determined, Shen Xuan’s eyes focused.
First, unseal the Ice Technique Golden Core.
Vast amounts of Fire Spiritual Power and refined Ice Spiritual Power erupted simultaneously.
Within the Dantian, a seemingly ethereal yet tangible Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus slowly rotated.
Receiving spiritual power infusion, its nine petals quietly unfurled, radiantly shining, forming its own Dao Rhyme.
With this miraculous object guarding the source, mere Tier Three demon bird Essence Blood couldn’t harm him!
No longer hesitating, Shen Xuan guided a small clump of Thunder Roc Essence Blood from the Jade Box, suspending it in mid-air.
The Essence Blood twisted continuously, like wild electric snakes, emanating a fierce and unruly aura.
"Refine!"
Shen Xuan commanded, activating the Jade Talisman.
The Jade Talisman shot a beam of golden light, enveloping the Thunder Roc Essence Blood, transforming it into a dark purple spirit mist, thread by thread, drawn into the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus.
On the Jade Talisman, ancient golden characters suddenly lit up, rapidly changing and flashing, finally setting in clear lines:
[Stealable Talent: Thunder Punishment Eye, Nine Heavens Thunderstorm, Thunder Chain Skynet, Thunder Escape Technique, Wind Escape Technique, Nine Heavens Gang Wind, Wind and Thunder Domain, Sky-Rending Golden Claw, Heaven-Breaking Sharp Beak, Roc Oppression, Roc Dharma Aspect]
A full set of eleven talents!
Even with Shen Xuan’s calm mental state, he couldn’t help but tremble at this moment, a streak of delight flashing across his eyes.
"No wonder, the descendant containing ancient Roc lineage, truly extraordinary!"
His Fire Spirit Root had reached ninety points, achieving an immortal grade, with added blessings.
Ordinary Tier Three Fire Attribute demon beast Inner Core Essence Blood, for him, besides being able to convert some Dao Rhyme, could hardly provide powerful new talents.
