104: The evil alliance, the unrivaled general!

Foreword: It was once said that all things in the world possess Spirit, and when Spiritual Qi and Spirit Essence reach an extremely concentrated level, the creature will undergo unexpected changes.

According to Shen Li, this is called ‘Elementalization’.

Their Physical Bodies will become more inclined to assimilate with the various elements in the world!

For example, the ‘Wind and Sand’ type Five Spirit Beast that Shen Li saw, which was driven by a powerful being, was a manifestation of Elementalization reaching Major Achievement.

At this point, the Five Spirit Beast can be seen as a collection of ‘attributes’, with its entire body being a treasure!

Even more so, those incredibly powerful Five Spirit Beasts can unleash natural disasters with a mere wave of their hands.

Their Awakening Divine Ability can cover the sky and block out the sun, making them extremely terrifying.

If a Cultivator consumes them, it can not only greatly enhance their Spiritual Root affinity but also allow them to inherit the various Divine Abilities awakened by these Five Spirit Beasts, which are incredibly profound.

Carp leaping over the Dragon Gate – but there are still some unfortunate creatures that haven’t leaped over the Dragon Gate… These creatures are called ‘pseudo’ beasts, imposters of Five Spirit Beasts, far inferior.

However, how rare are Five Spirit Beasts? Ordinary Cultivators rarely even see one, let alone acquire their Spirit Pearls. At this time, for those who are building their Dao Foundation and wish to improve their affinity… then the pseudo-beast’s Spirit Pearl is a very good substitute.

Although there are no Divine Abilities to inherit, enhancing Spiritual Root affinity is still quite good.

Shen Li’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t pay attention to the pseudo-Spirit Pearls; he had his own plans.

Such heaven and earth treasures were difficult to catch his eye.

Instead, the longevity pill mentioned by the Cultivator in front of him made him feel very intrigued.

Although longevity pills are Medicinal Pills, they are not refined by humans.

Cultivators are also unable to refine such Medicinal Pills that steal the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.

These Medicinal Pills descend from the heavens, nurtured by Heaven and Earth.

It’s like… a gift from Heaven and Earth!

As for why it’s said this way, explaining the efficacy of this longevity pill will make it clear at a glance.

A ninth-grade longevity pill can extend Lifespan by three years.

Whether it’s a spirit, a demon, a Cultivator, a martial artist, a mortal, or even a plant, consuming it can grant three years of Lifespan.

And… there are no side effects whatsoever.

If one were to insist on the only side effect… it would be that each grade of longevity pill can only be consumed once per person in their lifetime.

Of course, this kind of side effect is practically non-existent.

For an ordinary person to encounter a longevity pill once in three lifetimes is already considered their own good fortune!

For mortals, three years is not that important, but for some old monsters nearing their end, these three years… are a lifesaver.

Therefore, longevity pills are rare… so rare that they are even scarcer than Five Spirit Beasts.

Whenever they appear, they cause huge waves and bloody storms.

Even if it’s a ninth-grade one.

“Is there… anyone else who knows about this?”

Wang Teng silently made a throat-slitting gesture, wanting to kill the Cultivator in front of him.

But Shen Li subtly shook his head and said in a deep voice.

“This item is precious, but dealing with it also requires extreme caution… You and I need to make a ‘Heart Demon Oath’ to keep it a secret.”

“Agreed.”

After forming the agreement, Shen Li asked.

“What… do you plan to do next?”

Sun Xingtu propped himself up and said with pursed lips.

“Revenge! I want that woman to pay!”

.....

After an incense stick’s time.

The three descended from the treehouse and began to wander the streets.

Along the way, they didn’t find anything good; most were just trashy ancient artifacts from the Jingjue ruins.

They had no power, nor any hidden history.

The Immortal Fate didn’t give him any warnings either, which disappointed Shen Li a little.

Last time, he obtained the Little Sand Burial Technique, Magical Artifact fragments, and a Sand Fox.

The Sand Fox became a ninth-grade Spirit Beast, the Little Sand Burial Technique was also completed, and now only one Magical Artifact fragment is missing.

The harvest was impressive.

He didn’t expect that this time, there wouldn’t be anything good…

Shen Li was a little disappointed.

As he thought this, Qiu Ya beside him gently reminded him.

“Young Master… look over there.”

Shen Li looked over, his brows furrowing.

He saw several figures dressed in Luan Xiu Alliance robes, gathered by the roadside.

Many camels were tied to the nearby pillars, and on both sides of the street were rows of iron cages.

Inside the cages were ordinary people, with old, weak, women, and children everywhere.

On the other side, strong men were bound by handcuffs and leg irons.

“Luan Xiu Alliance… The area covered by the Luan Xiu Alliance is truly vast… The Black Horn Mountain Range is gone, but the Luan Xiu Alliance has appeared in Fu Yu Mountain.”

“It seems the waters here are very deep…”

“Then the difficulty of acquiring the last loulan treasure ship fragment… will greatly increase.”

Shen Li took a deep breath and gradually approached.

This place was a black market, and due to the presence of the omniscient Zhao Si, the rules were strict.

It wasn’t because Zhao Si was so powerful, but entirely because if one angered the omniscient Zhao Si, he would simply pack up and leave.

Then no one would be able to obtain any news or clues from him.

This would incur the wrath of many.

So no one dared to be a trailblazer.

Hence, the current strange situation emerged.

The Luan Xiu Alliance, with its obvious Demonic Path background, Disciples from various immortal sects who came to the Huangfeng Plains for experience… and even immortal clan members belonging to Qingchi Mountain were gathered together.

Privately, they wished to kill each other, but on the surface, they were all harmonious.

The atmosphere here was eerie… caught in a delicate balance.

Shen Li stepped forward… looked at the pile of slaves, and asked.

“Where did these strong young men come from?”

A gloomy Loose Cultivator, at Qi Refining Fourth Layer, said in a deep voice.

“No comment. Buy if you want, or leave if you don’t.”

Shen Li smiled and said.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t be so angry.”

“Less nonsense.”

Shen Li was helpless; he wanted to get some information, but he didn’t expect the Cultivators of the Luan Xiu Alliance to be so vigilant.

It seems the incident in the Black Horn Mountain Range made them much more cautious.

But just as Shen Li was about to leave, Qiu Ya quietly pulled him back.

She pointed to a tall, burly man with a distinctive appearance and whispered.

“Young Master… this person has the scent of demon blood on him.”

And the brawny man in the pile of slaves seemed to sense something as well, raising his head to look at Shen Li.

He revealed a mouthful of teeth, his fierce face covered in scars.

It seemed he had been whipped many times.

However, the man’s eyes were very pure, like those of an innocent child.

His smile was ferocious… yet there was a sense of honest simplicity.

Shen Li asked.

“I want to take this person, but if you don’t tell me his origin, and there are future troubles, who do I go to?”

The gloomy man, seeing this, said impatiently.

“What trouble? These people were captured from the Kunlun Mountains, which is practically the ends of the earth from here.”

“If the previous buyer hadn’t died suddenly, it wouldn’t be your turn to buy them?”

“These are a batch of goods… priced at two thousand Spirit Stones.”

“A total of five hundred thirty-seven people, not sold individually.”

“I’ll buy them.”

Seeing this, Shen Li paid the Spirit Stones and then took the Restriction.

Before the Restriction even landed in his hand, it suddenly dissipated.

The pure gaze of the barbarian suddenly turned ferocious.

A sudden change occurred!

His fists, like large hammers, smashed towards Shen Li’s face!

The Luan Xiu Alliance Loose Cultivator behind him showed a playful expression, as if particularly interested in the tragic scene that was bound to occur.

They watched with anticipation.

Shen Li’s expression remained unchanged; an ice cicada quietly exploded, freezing the big man, and the Spirit Guiding threads turned into ropes, binding the big man’s neck and five limbs.

He said calmly.

“Take him back.”

Then Shen Li looked at the Cultivator from the Luan Xiu Alliance and smiled slightly.
