Chen Shuangbai looked at the Demon Cultivator in front of her.
Based on the demonic characteristics left on this person, and after considering the demon cave forces that are on friendly terms with this immortal market... the answer is already quite obvious.
Bai Nianyuan and simply revealed his identity.
"Brother Dao should have noticed that I am a member of the White Feather Cave. According to the seniority system among you human cultivators, I should be considered the young master of the White Feather Cave."
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly.
"It turns out it's precious blood... disrespectful, disrespectful."
The term "noble blood" is a way for demons to elevate their status, and it is not commonly used among human cultivators, since human cultivators have always held the dominant position in the entire Celebrated Splendor Continent.
He praised the man because he thought he was quite polite to his guests, and because White Feather Cave had a decent reputation.
Bai Nianyuan waved his hand and said, "What talk of noble blood is all nonsense. I only have one question for you, fellow Daoist... is it possible to refine the pills in this Pill Formula?"
Chen Shuangbai was not surprised.
Ever since he saw the Pill Formula, he had discerned the man's general plan.
Chen Shuangbai tried to sense the emotions of the young master of White Feather Cave, but the other party seemed to be carrying something of a higher level of power, which he could not detect.
"That's true. At such a young age, he's already at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage. After transforming into human form, he'll be almost indistinguishable from a human cultivator. He should attract a lot of attention in White Feather Cave, so it's normal for him to carry a few treasures."
Chen Shuangbai examined the Pill Formula again carefully, and after some mental deduction, he discovered that it was an extremely rare Pill Formula that could delay aging.
Slow down aging?
Whose aging is being slowed down... the aging of the White Feather Cave Master?
I hadn't heard that the other person was nearing the end of their life!
The Pill Formula wasn't particularly difficult; Chen Shuangbai estimated that he could refine it himself, but the failure rate would be quite high. If his master were to start the furnace, the success rate would be greatly increased.
only...
"Fellow Daoist Bai, why should I help you?"
Hearing his blunt words, Bai Nianyuan was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. "So, fellow Daoist really can... Oh, sorry, Nianyuan was being presumptuous."
"It is because this matter is of utmost importance to me that I lost my composure; please forgive me, fellow Daoist."
Chen Shuangbai waved her hand to close the bamboo scroll, looking at him calmly.
Such longevity-extending items are extremely rare.
Once they appear, they are often snapped up.
Since this Pill Formula Demon Cultivator showed me the pill formula so readily, the matter must have reached a rather urgent stage.
Bai Nianyuan paused, seemingly considering his words.
After a while.
He then said, "I would like to ask you, fellow Daoist, to refine this pill for me. I will provide all the necessary spiritual materials. No matter how many pills are produced, I, Bai Nianyuan, will be indebted to you for your kindness."
Bai Nianyuan really had no other choice.
The traditions passed down at sea are inherently inferior to those within the sea, and besides, he is Demon Cultivator, so he certainly doesn't know how to refine pills.
If we were to find Alchemist from the sea to refine it, they might have some kind of indirect connection with that rival of White Feather Cave, and the news would leak out, causing a whole host of unnecessary trouble.
Why not just find this Alchemist from across the country?
That's right.
That steward had a very sharp eye; he immediately recognized that Chen Shuangbai was not Foundation Establishment at sea.
Bai Nianyuan continued, "In addition, I can add another treasure as a reward for you, fellow Daoist."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai finally showed some interest.
"What treasure?"
Bai Nianyuan opened his right hand, revealing a silver foil page in his palm. The page was decorated with dragon-like patterns and engraved with dozens of bird-script characters, seemingly expounding some kind of mystery.
Chen Shuangbai's eyes flickered slightly.
He recognized him.
The Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder he now possesses was obtained from a silver foil page. Originally called Cold Baleful Intent Yin Thunder, it was extremely domineering but also harmful to both the user and others.
Now, surprisingly, another silver foil page has been spotted on the sea.
Silver foil pages!
Moreover, the pages are made of silver foil, the same material as those in " The Cold Baleful Intent Yin Thunder "!
"Fellow Daoist... where did you obtain this?"
Seeing that Chen Shuangbai finally spoke, Bai Nianyuan knew that he had indeed picked the right item.
He obtained these silver foil pages by chance when he explored a dangerous place in his early years. The material was special, and the characters on them were ancient and mysterious. Although he could not understand them all, he knew that they were no ordinary items. He had secretly consulted a knowledgeable elder in his clan, but the elder could not understand all the characters either, and only said that this thing was not something that demons could cultivate.
Since it's not something Demon Cultivator, it must be something cultivated by humans.
As far as Bai Nianyuan was concerned, since this item could not be used on himself, it was useless.
It's worthwhile to be able to reuse waste these days.
"I obtained this item by fortuitous opportunity some years ago, but I couldn't comprehend it. However, it does bear some resemblance to the jade seals used by you human cultivators... If you can refine that pill for me, I can give this item to you as a reward."
"Regardless of how many pills are successfully formed, even if there is only one, this item belongs to you, fellow Daoist. If not even one is formed..."
Bai Nianyuan paused, a resolute glint in his eyes, "This item is also given to you, fellow Daoist. I only ask that you keep it a secret and truthfully recount your insights during the alchemy process and the reasons for your failures, so that my clan may find another method."
Chen Shuangbai raced.
Such generosity... entrusting both success and failure to him shows that this elixir of slowing aging is already very important to White Feather Cave.
Chen Shuangbai remained silent for a moment, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table, her gaze falling once again on the Pill Formula and the silver foil pages beside it.
That's enough.
These silver-leaf pages are a rare find; I must have them.
I need a place where I won't be disturbed.
Upon hearing Bai Nianyuan's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly replied, "Of course! I've already prepared it!"
after a while.
The human and the demon left Swan Immortal Market and headed southeast. Before long, a large area of broken islands and reefs gradually appeared before their eyes.
Bai Nianyuan remained in human form, but his hands transformed into a pair of broad white wings. With a gentle flap, he rode the raging wind and easily caught up with Chen Shuangbai's escape light, demonstrating his extraordinary talent.
Chen Shuangbai pondered to himself, thinking that this Demon Cultivator was truly gifted.
Then he couldn't help but think of Feiguang, thinking that after returning to the sect, he must send Feiguang to White Jade Crane to learn how to further refine the horizontal bone and how to transform into human form.
As they approached the scattered reefs, a token suddenly floated out from Bai Nianyuan's body. The token flew forward and landed in mid-air, where it unexpectedly formed a circle.
Once inside the circle, the raging storm outside vanished, replaced by a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The broken reefs below also disappeared, replaced by a small but perfectly sized spirit island.
On the island of Ling, lush greenery abounds, with a towering active volcano in the center, still emitting wisps of black smoke.
Chen Shuangbai was somewhat surprised.
"Such a powerful protective formation?!"
