...
Without delay, Shen Zhao and the other two began their unspeakable illicit transaction in the dense forest under the moonlight.
"Wow, this Seven Star Limitless Sword is so cool, it's a Xuan-level combat skill."
"Hmm? This five-colored glass bead can accelerate the circulation of spiritual energy within the body. It's a good thing."
"The Asura Blade Technique? This blade technique is almost as powerful as an Earth-rank combat skill."
"Brother Shen, where did you get this? Isn't this the Ice and Fire Meridian Technique?"
Looking at the dazzling array of cultivation techniques and magical artifacts, Su Yunying's clear laughter never stopped.
Compared to the power-enhancing benefits that Su Yunying brought to these treasures, Ding Bu'er was more concerned about how much wealth these things could be exchanged for.
"This Dragon Tiger Collapse could easily sell for at least 100,000 spirit stones on the market."
"And this yellow-grade sword, it'll cost at least 50,000 spirit stones."
"Selling this powerful tonic for 30,000 spirit stones doesn't seem unreasonable."
Shen Zhao watched the two of them chatting and selecting treasures, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
The Fuxi Abyss Secret Realm only provides a platform for low-level cultivators to improve their strength. Apart from the Dragon Essence, the Innate Dao Body, and the Chaos God and Demon Body and the Southern Ming Fire Seed that are obtained by chance, there are basically no high-end items.
In his previous nine lives on the Immortal Martial Continent, what supreme treasures and sacred items hadn't he seen? These things in front of him looked quite good, but in reality, none of them caught Shen Zhao's eye.
But this was different for Su Yunying, a rogue cultivator. The sudden acquisition of her first fortune by someone who was terrified of poverty felt unreal to her.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhao took out a dragon essence: "Girl, this is your share, take it first."
"What's this?"
Feeling the intense spiritual energy rushing towards her, Su Yunying immediately realized that the Dragon Essence in Shen Zhao's hand was no ordinary thing.
"This is the essence of the Dragon Essence!" Ding Bu'er said. "You're lucky, girl. Once you absorb this Dragon Essence, your strength will increase by at least one major realm."
"Huh? A whole realm?"
Su Yunying's face was filled with disbelief.
Shen Zhao nodded and said, "Take it first, and I will protect you so that you can absorb all the dragon essence energy before dawn."
"Can...I really do it...?"
When the legendary elixir was actually placed in front of her, and someone said she could take it, Su Yunying was at a loss.
"What are you being so coy about? This isn't a free gift. If you achieve great things in the future, my life of wealth and luxury will depend entirely on you. Hurry up, or I'll feed you to the dogs."
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying quickly snatched the Dragon Essence.
The moment Su Yunying received the Dragon Essence, she felt her blood circulate rapidly within her body, and the spiritual energy in her dantian began to circulate uncontrollably. She felt as if something deep within her mind was about to awaken.
"Hurry up and take it, time is limited! After you absorb the Dragon Essence, you still have something to do with me!"
"Um!"
Hearing Shen Zhao say this, Su Yunying no longer hesitated and swallowed the dragon essence in one gulp.
In an instant, a surge of powerful spiritual energy impacted her eight extraordinary meridians, causing Su Yunying's body to glow red, and her face to contort in pain.
Just as she felt her body was about to ache from the burst of true energy, she heard the incantation recited by Shen Zhao.
"The elixir disperses its energy, seemingly empty, yet it is as if the ocean embraces all rivers, encompassing and storing all things. The seven meridians, whether flowing or reversing, are at your disposal. Focus your mind on the Bright Platform and transform it into emptiness."
Silently reciting the incantation, Su Yunying gradually calmed her chaotic aura, crossed her legs, and began to refine the dragon essence within her body.
The first half of the night passed smoothly, and Su Yunying had completely entered a state of deep meditation. Judging from this, she had fully adapted to the properties of the Dragon Essence and began to wholeheartedly absorb its essence for her own use.
However, at that moment, two dark figures appeared deep in the forest.
"Hmm, there are people here. Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed?"
"Should we go back and report to the son-in-law?"
"These must be people from the Ancient River Sect. Let's finish them off before they can react."
"Okay!"
The two men conjured two iron claws in their left hands and quietly approached Shen Zhao's destination.
Little did they know that Shen Zhao had sensed their presence the moment they appeared.
Just as they approached within ten meters, he shouted, "No need to sneak around, come out."
The two were startled upon hearing this.
"He's spotted us?"
"Impossible! We've already concealed our presence; he must be bluffing us."
The two were unsure whether Shen Zhao's words were true or false, so they could only cling to a large tree for the time being, not daring to move.
Seeing that the two did not react for a long time, Shen Zhao casually picked up a blade of grass from the ground: "Since the two of you are unwilling to come out and meet us, then I will have to ask you to come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw down the straw in his hand.
Before the two could react, the tips of the thatch grass had already pierced through the tree and gone straight through their shoulder blades.
Ah~
"This is bad! Our opponent is at least at the peak of the Profound Void Realm! Retreat quickly!"
However, just as the two turned around in pain to escape, Shen Zhao blocked their way.
"Are you two leaving already?"
"hateful!"
The two were extremely surprised, not expecting their opponent's movements to be so terrifying, appearing behind them silently. Without hesitation, they simultaneously unleashed a claw strike.
"Clang~"
A crisp sound echoed as Shen Zhao easily blocked the fatal blow with a woodcutter's knife.
"retreat!"
The next moment, Shen Zhao exerted a little force, and the wood-chopping knife was like a force of ten million pounds, directly pressing the two of them to their knees on one knee.
The two were shocked to discover that they could no longer mobilize any of their spiritual energy, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Who are you?
"Go ahead and kill us if you dare!"
