Immunity to All Poisons (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Xia Muqing looked at Shen Xuan with a face full of confusion, biting her lip, before finally asking the question.

A woman's curiosity is often quite strong.

"That's right. I just broke through to Qi Refining Level 5. Is there a problem?"

Shen Xuan said with a calm expression.

After casting Breath Concealment Technique, other Qi Refining Cultivators could not see through his true Cultivation Realm.

"No problem." Xia Muqing shook her head quickly.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Talisman Master Shen, is this really your first time out hunting?"

"It is. If you don't believe me, ask Fellow Daoist Zhao." Shen Xuan looked at his teammate with some confusion.

"Aren't we supposed to be quickly cleaning up this Iron Armored Crocodile right now? We agreed beforehand, the Crocodile Blood belongs to me!"

Zhao Chunsheng acted as if he had just woken from a dream.

"We can chat when we get back! Hurry over and help clean this up! If we attract other Yao Beasts, it's going to be trouble!"

The Iron Brothers hurried forward to join Zhao Chunsheng in processing the Iron Armored Crocodile.

Shen Xuan continued to collect his Crocodile Blood.

In order to collect the Monster Beast Blood, he had specifically bought a new Storage Bag.

He did not want to be like Zhao Chunsheng, lugging around a blood bucket and smelling of fishy stench.

Wen Zijian and Shi Xiangdong exchanged glances, their eyes filled with the same surprise.

They did not step forward, but instead stood guard in the vicinity.

Xia Muqing watched curiously as Shen Xuan collected the Crocodile Blood.

"For a First-Order High-Grade Iron Armored Crocodile, the Crocodile Skin, Crocodile Tooth, Crocodile Claw, and Crocodile Bone are all excellent Artifact Refining Material. The Crocodile Meat can also fetch a good price. Relatively speaking, the Crocodile Blood is the cheapest."

Xia Muqing seemed to be muttering to herself, but she was actually reminding Shen Xuan.

Hearing this, Shen Xuan felt a slight warmth in his heart.

"Talisman Master Shen should collect the Crocodile Blood first. We will divide the rest when we get back." Zhao Chunsheng explained.

As the Captain, he always distributed the Spoils of War based on merit.

With Shen Xuan's contribution, only being allocated the Crocodile Blood was clearly bullying him.

"It doesn't matter. As agreed beforehand, the Crocodile Blood goes to me. As for the rest, I leave it to Fellow Daoist Zhao to distribute!"

His primary goal was the Water Attribute Monster Beast Blood.

Earning Spirit Stones was only secondary.

A single tree cannot make a forest.

In the future, he would still need to rely on his teammates to hunt monsters together.

There was no need to haggle over every detail.

He also believed that Zhao Chunsheng would be relatively fair when distributing the Spoils of War.

Otherwise, if people's hearts were lost, the team would fall apart.

Hearing Shen Xuan express his stance this way.

The gazes his teammates directed toward him began to change quietly.

Each one was filled with goodwill and gratitude.

Zhao Chunsheng and the Iron Brothers dismantled the materials from the Iron Armored Crocodile.

Shen Xuan also finished collecting the Crocodile Blood.

At this moment, a Monster Hunting Team approached from afar to observe.

Wen Zijian stepped onto his Moon Blade Wheel, holding his Sun Blade Wheel, and stood in front with a cold face.

That group of hunting cultivators lingered for a dozen breaths.

Seeing that Wen Zijian was not someone to be trifled with, they eventually left without a sound.

"When hunting outside, apart from your teammates, you cannot trust anyone!" Xia Muqing explained from the side.

"Fellow Daoist Xia is right." Shen Xuan nodded slightly.

Half an hour later.

The Iron Armored Crocodile was mostly dismantled.

Only a pile of Crocodile Meat remained.

The Iron Brothers took out two large Beast Bags and packed all the Crocodile Meat inside.

"Iron Armored Crocodile meat doesn't taste good. But this is a First-Order High-Grade Yao Beast; every catty can sell for five or six Spirit Stones!"

Xia Muqing said with a smile on her face.

This was four hundred catties of Crocodile Meat!

Worth over two thousand Spirit Stones!

This didn't even include the price of the Crocodile Skin, Crocodile Tooth, Crocodile Claw, Crocodile Bone, and other materials.

Shen Xuan was secretly startled.

Hunting Monster Beasts was actually this profitable!

"We got lucky this time! Usually, it's very hard to hunt such a complete, high-grade haul!"

Zhao Chunsheng looked around vigilantly.

He beckoned, having Shi Xiangdong command the two Sighthound Puppet Beasts to scout the path ahead.

"Let's go, head back! Everyone, be careful."

He and the Iron Brothers loaded up with the Monster Beast materials, while Wen Zijian consciously took the lead for the team.

Xia Muqing and Shen Xuan walked side by side at the very back.

The group of seven hurried back cautiously.

Along the way, they encountered three other groups of monster-hunting cultivators.

One of the groups even followed them for a distance with ill intent.

Only after Wen Zijian shouted out and exposed their tracks did they give up.

This made Shen Xuan deeply realize the hardships of being a Monster Hunter.

What one faces is not just ferocious Monster Beasts.

There are also fellow humans who are even more terrifying than the beasts.

"This counts as a good day. Everyone is a Monster Hunter, and we all know each other's weight. Unless it's a last resort, no one wants a bloody conflict!"

Seeing the entrance of Qinglong Bay Market in sight, Xia Muqing could not hide the joy in her heart.

"The most terrifying ones are the Robbing Cultivators; they don't care if you've had a successful hunt or not. In their eyes, cultivators are just Spirit Stones!"

"By the way, there are also Devilish Cultivators, who are even more terrifying than Robbing Cultivators! Extracting souls, refining spirits, raising corpses, and summoning ghosts—there is nothing they wouldn't dare to do!"

"With this haul, we can rest and recuperate for several months!"

The Iron Brothers were also beaming with joy.

Boss Iron chuckled, "We owe it all to Talisman Master Shen!"

Second Brother Iron said in a muffled voice, "Talisman Master Shen is a good man!"

Shen Xuan had a face full of black lines.

These two brothers didn't even know how to compliment someone properly.

"We are all teammates, after all; we agreed to look out for one another! Fellow Daoist Wen and Fellow Daoist Shi are the ones who worked the hardest in the team!"

"Not at all!"

"It's just part of the job!"

Wen Zijian and Shi Xiangdong said modestly.

This made Zhao Chunsheng glance at the two of them a few extra times.

These two usually liked to argue with him over nothing, so when did they become so easy to talk to?

After entering Qinglong Bay Market, everyone completely relaxed.

The remaining matters were left for Zhao Chunsheng and the others to handle.

Shen Xuan headed home first.

He shared the good news with Jiang Xueqi that the Monster Hunting Team was safe and sound, and had successfully hunted a high-grade haul as hoped.

Afterward, he soaked comfortably in a hot water bath at the bathhouse, washing away the dust of the journey.

His first time hunting outside had been safe despite the risks.

He had also gained a lot of valuable experience.

Compared to the ferocity of Monster Beasts, the unpredictable human heart was even more treacherous.

He also gained a clearer understanding of his own strength.

On land, with the buffs from his many talents, his attack power was comparable to that of someone at Qi Refining Perfection!

As for in the water, although he hadn't tested it yet, based on his usual practice comparisons, his strength would skyrocket tenfold!

Shen Xuan guessed that in the water, he could go head-to-head with Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivators of other attributes.

Although he had talents like Life Extension, Self-Healing, and Iron Bones to strengthen his physical body.

But as he aged, Blood Decline would be a matter of time.

I must reach Qi Refining Perfection as soon as possible and push for Foundation Establishment!

Shen Xuan pondered in his heart.

He had a keen sense regarding his own lifespan and physical condition.

"I will strive to reach Foundation Establishment before I turn ninety!"

He felt a sudden surge of inspiration, a flash of spiritual insight that led him to make this resolution.

An old steed in the stable still aspires to gallop a thousand miles!

He would grow stronger with age, becoming an evergreen tree in the Cultivation World, and Attain Dao Through Longevity!

After soaking in a hot bath, Shen Xuan felt his mind clear and his thoughts flow freely.

Once he had restored his Spiritual Sense and spiritual power, he engaged in a friendly match with his Beloved Wife, Ding Yuyao.

Ding Yuyao had been married to him for eight years.

She had completely transformed.

From the budding girl she was back then, she had blossomed into a beautiful woman with a graceful figure.

Having shed her youthful awkwardness, she had matured into someone who made him want to take a bite out of her from time to time.

Her body had become increasingly soft and supple.

The great battle was intense, enough to darken the sky and turn the earth upside down.

Only after Ding Yuyao repeatedly begged for mercy.

Did Shen Xuan end his conquest and return to the Training Room with a look of pride on his face.

He poured out a quarter of the Iron Armored Crocodile blood from his new Storage Bag.

After the Mysterious Jade Talisman flashed with golden light.

[Plunderable Talent: Bite Nails and Chew Iron, Immunity to All Poisons, Copper Bones Iron Armor, Death Roll, Stealth Camouflage]

As expected of a First-Order High-Grade Yao Beast, it possessed a staggering five Bloodline Talents!

Shen Xuan compared them repeatedly before finally choosing the [Immunity to All Poisons] talent.

[Talent: Immunity to All Poisons (28/100)]

[Dao Rhyme: 72]

Shen Xuan was stunned.

The Dao Rhyme gained from plundering the Iron Armored Crocodile's talent was far higher than he had imagined!
