"We also possess magical treasures capable of annihilating Nascent Soul Stage experts, but I'm afraid our guests can't afford the price!"
The old fox chuckled softly, his tone full of cunning.
"Speak, what do you want? Spirit Stone? Spirit herbs? Ores?"
Xu Long had already made up his mind, but he still asked the question.
I want your yang energy!
The old fox chuckled sinisterly and gave the answer Xu Long had anticipated.
"Want yang energy? No problem!"
Xu Long nodded calmly, then put his hand on his pants as if to take them off.
"No need to take your pants off!"
The old fox grabbed Xu Long's hand, his expression complex, "Really... no need to take your pants off..."
"This... can be taken off..."
"You really don't need to take your clothes off!"
Xu Long's attitude was very firm, as was the old fox's.
The human and the demon shoved each other, their clothes getting disheveled.
Without anyone noticing, Xu Long's hand landed on the old fox's waist, while the old fox's petite body leaned against Xu Long.
The old fox looked up, Xu Long looked down, their gazes met in the air, and a series of sparks flew.
The air suddenly became ambiguous!
Unlike a naive fledgling like Xiaobai, the old fox has seen it all.
With almost no effort, the old fox regained his senses.
"Oh, you really have no moral compass, you can even lay a hand on an old guy like me?"
The old fox chuckled, the first half of her sentence as clear and crisp as a bell, the second half as weathered and profound as a drumbeat.
"So-called old and young are merely superficial appearances; what I desire is a wise soul. Besides, you are a fairy, capable of transforming into whatever you wish."
Xu Long lifted the old fox's chin with his hand and said, "What I like most about you is your fox head, it's so exciting!"
"Hehe, really? I always thought you humans only liked pretty faces..."
The old fox turned its head and shoved its furry mouth directly at Xu Long's face, "I never expected you to be so refreshingly unconventional."
"But business is business, let's not talk about feelings. A breath of yang energy, a magic weapon, how about it?"
The old fox stuck out its tongue and licked Xu Long's face, then quickly transformed into the appearance of a little girl.
"A breath of yang energy in exchange for a magic weapon? You're really asking for the moon!"
Xu Long snorted. The old fox was cunning and unwilling to suffer any loss.
This breath of yang energy is not as simple as exhaling a breath. An ordinary person could only have one breath of yang energy if all their energy was drained. As cultivation deepens, the yang energy in a cultivator's body will also increase, but the number will never exceed ten breaths.
This stuff is like essence blood; once you use it, it's gone, and it's incredibly difficult to replenish.
However, Xu Long is different. He possesses an Extreme Yang Severed Yin Body, so he can spit out saliva without any problem.
However, having a large quantity doesn't mean you can waste it at will; you still need to save where you can.
A drop of blood seeped from between his fingers, and the aura of Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin instantly filled the entire Baoqing Workshop.
"This... this..."
The old fox's face showed fear. He had only sensed that Xu Long was full of yang energy, but he never expected that it was actually the Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin.
"One drop of blood, ten magical treasures!"
Xu Long snorted and said.
"Ten items?"
The old fox was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered from his shock.
"While the Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin is extremely rare, the difficulty of cultivating with it or forging magical treasures is immense. Even my Baoqing Workshop cannot guarantee success. I can only offer you two magical treasures at most. If you do not agree, then let's stop here."
The old fox's attitude was very firm, as if, as she said, she was not confident that she could take advantage of the situation.
And that is indeed the case!
The Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin is a terrifying power unique to the gods, and in current understanding, it is the strongest in countless worlds, without exception.
That is something that only the supreme and top gods can grasp; those higher and lower gods cannot reach it even if they try their best.
Although the old fox knew some information about gods and "extreme" power, the amount was extremely limited, and she wasn't confident she could succeed 100%.
Trading two magical treasures capable of harming or even killing a Nascent Soul Stage expert for a drop of Xu Long's blood, the old fox wouldn't lose out, but he wouldn't gain anything either.
He left behind five drops of blood and took away ten dark, earth-shattering Heaven-Shaking Thunder, and Xu Long was satisfied.
Name: Heaven-Shaking Thunder
Rank: Low-Grade Treasure Artifact
Type: Consumables/Other
Origin: White Snake
Skill:
1. After use, it causes massive damage to targets within a 50-meter radius. The explosive energy contains a large amount of foul air, turbid air, malevolent air, and evil air, which can pollute the soul and is extremely difficult to remove.
Note: Trust me, you won't want to get hit.
It has reached the level of Low-Grade Treasure Artifact and is a one-time use item. The power of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder is even stronger than most Mid-Grade Treasure Artifact.
If Xu Long were hit by this thing at close range, he would be seriously injured and on the verge of death.
After leaving Baoqing Workshop, Xu Long returned to the giant ship located on the Yangtze River.
He needs time to improve his cultivation, and even more time to plan.
Fortunately, there's no time limit for this mission, so we can prepare at our own pace.
It has been almost ten years since Xu Long extracted Ah Xuan's life essence. Xu Long had long since revoked the order to capture snakes, which made the lives of the local people much better, and the snake demons no longer had to hide as before.
Ten years is a long time for ordinary people, but for a cultivator like Xu Long, it is as short as the blink of an eye.
Xiaobai hated Xu Long intensely. Every now and then, he would capture her, play with her, and then release her.
After going back and forth several times, Xiaobai simply stopped moving!
Since they'll just get caught anyway, why bother?
"Are you really going to kill the Snake Mother?"
On a mountain peak not far from the Snake-Catching Village, Xiaobai looked conflicted.
The Snake Mother was her master, who taught her many things. Although she was very strict, Xiaobai was still grateful.
However, after spending some time with Xu Long, Xiaobai's thoughts changed.
It wasn't that she was infatuated with Xu Long and neglected her mother for the sake of her husband, but rather that she discovered the true nature of the Snake Cavern.
All the demons in the Snake Cavern cultivate techniques of the same origin, which, according to the Snake Mother, means they share and coexist, like all streams returning to their source.
During battle, if one's demonic energy is depleted, it can be quickly replenished by one's companions. If one is injured, one can also receive healing from one's companions.
However, these seem insignificant compared to the real benefits.
Shared ownership and common ownership; all streams flow back to their source.
Wanliu refers to these snake demons, while Guiyuan refers to returning to the source Snake Mother.
Just like at the end of the movie, if the Snake Mother wanted, she could absorb the demonic power of all the fairies in the Snake Cavern without any rejection.
Since they possess the exact same demonic power, and it was these demons who helped the Snake Mother Snake Mother cultivate, how could they possibly reject her?
They're just a bunch of power banks, do they really think they're human?
