136: Why not try to persuade them with reason?

Shen Tianxing's fearsome reputation had already spread!

However, Zhu Xingyu, Second Brother Wei, and the others had been hiding for a month, so their information was already outdated.

As the art of war says, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles!'

Since they didn't even know the difference in their own strength, failure was inevitable!

Most unexpectedly, Shen Tianxing didn't even need to act himself; a single Shi Linglong rendered their tens of thousands of people useless!

Buzz!!!

A resounding Saber hum echoed as Shen Tianxing made his move!

Saber light erupted, and Saber Qi crisscrossed throughout the entire gorge. All the demons and ghost Cultivator masters died beneath his Saber's edge!

Just like in the Heavenly Prison of Pei Wang City, Shen Tianxing effortlessly dealt with all his enemies.

Watching his experience points surge, Shen Tianxing's smile almost reached his ears.

It really is convenient to have tools at hand!

The harvest was even more unparalleled!

This time, slaying tens of thousands of masters from various demonic and ghost Cultivator sects accumulated a vast amount of experience, enough for Shen Tianxing's cultivation Realm to advance further!

"Phew..."

It's done!

The satisfaction was wonderful!

Divine Soul power surged on the demon sealing saber, and the Dragon within the Saber joyfully absorbed the Divine Soul power.

During this period, the demon sealing saber had absorbed too many Great Demon Divine Souls, as well as the Divine Souls of ghost Cultivators—all excellent tonics!

The Dragon had grown several times larger, and the power of the demon sealing saber had become even stronger!

A treasure truly lives up to its name!

Its mystique was being unraveled by Shen Tianxing step by step.

"Let's go, let's go, let's quickly check on the dragon saliva flower!"

The dragon saliva flower held a fatal attraction for any woman, and Shi Linglong was already impatient.

For this dragon saliva flower, she could say she fought with her life today.

Shen Tianxing shook his head and chuckled, "The dragon saliva flower is just sitting there; it won't grow legs and run away. What are you so anxious about?"

Though he said that, Shen Tianxing didn't linger.

Shi Linglong's appearance was truly a bit strange, carrying a giant sword on her back and two bear paws the size of millstones around her neck, not seeming to mind the encumbrance!

Shen Tianxing felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

Shi Linglong was not only violent in her actions but also seemed to have the potential of a foodie when it came to eating.

The location of the dragon saliva flower was discovered by the demons. Before killing them, Shen Tianxing had already obtained its approximate whereabouts.

Therefore, it didn't take much time to find the area where the dragon saliva flower was located.

It wasn't far from Sunset Gorge, behind a tall mountain.

With their cultivation, it didn't take long for the two of them to reach this peak.

"Oh? There's actually a cold pool on this high mountain?"

Before their eyes, a cold pool about thirty zhang in size appeared at the mountain's summit.

Cold Qi emanated from the pool, bringing a chilling temperature that created a stark contrast with other parts of Crouching Dragon Ridge.

"dragon saliva flower!"

Shi Linglong's eyes were sharp; she immediately spotted a five-colored, variegated flower growing on a stone platform not far from the cold pool.

Interwoven with green, gold, black, purple, and white, it resembled five small, delicate Divine Dragons, crystal clear and exuding a fragrant aroma!

"It truly is a dragon saliva flower, nurtured by the Spiritual Qi of the mountain, skillfully drawing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and fed by the water of the cold pool. Truly miraculous!"

The dragon saliva flower looked as if it were formed from a true Dragon, and even Shen Tianxing was quite moved by it.

As a young girl, Shi Linglong couldn't take her eyes off it.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Shen Tianxing's gaze narrowed, looking towards a large rock not far from the cold pool.

At some point, a handsome middle-aged man had appeared there, sitting cross-legged on the large rock, looking at the dragon saliva flower, and slowly drinking from a wine gourd.

"When did he appear? Or has he been here all along, unnoticed by us?"

Shen Tianxing was very surprised!

Recalling what Second Brother Wei and the others had said, it was clear that this handsome middle-aged man was the mysterious master they spoke of!

He could effortlessly slay a Xiaoyao Realm Master with a wave of his hand!

Such a figure was definitely not an unknown person!

Shen Tianxing quickly pulled back Shi Linglong, who was about to rush towards the dragon saliva flower, and gestured towards the middle-aged man.

Only then did Shi Linglong notice him.

"When...was he here?"

With Shen Tianxing's and her cultivation, even a Divine Profound Realm master probably couldn't appear so silently without being noticed by them.

Could it be that this man had been here all along, and they hadn't discovered him?

That was a bit terrifying!!!

"Let's go!"

Since they had come, there was no reason to return empty-handed.

That wasn't Shen Tianxing's style!

The other party looked like an ordinary person, with no discernible cultivation.

One could only say that Shen Tianxing couldn't see through the other party.

This middle-aged man guarding the dragon saliva flower was clearly waiting for it to mature. Relying on force to obtain the dragon saliva flower would definitely not work.

Try reasoning with him?

The two walked along the cold pool together until they reached the large rock.

Shen Tianxing cupped his hands and said, "Sir, are you waiting for the dragon saliva flower to mature?"

There was no better opening; asking this was to get the other party to speak.

They had arrived, and the other party hadn't even looked at them. When the Great Demons arrived, they were directly suppressed and killed.

If such an unfathomable master were to attack without a word, Shen Tianxing and Shi Linglong would surely suffer.

Getting the other party to speak was the first step to achieving their goal.

The man paused slightly and said indifferently, "So what?"

There's a chance!

As long as he spoke, it was fine!

At least it wouldn't make Shen Tianxing feel unable to communicate.

"It is rumored that the dragon saliva flower can be used in Alchemy, and can even keep one's youth forever, making it extremely precious."

"Sir, could you spare some for us?"

Anyway, for medicinal use, not all of it was needed. Settling for less, getting a branch or a leaf would be enough.

Greed was not an option.

The greed of those demons had already warned him of their fate.

Shi Linglong, beside him, also became a bit quieter, staring with wide eyes at the dragon saliva flower.

Her eyes were full of adoration.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man gave Shen Tianxing a deep look and put down his wine gourd.

With that look, Shen Tianxing felt as if his entire body had been seen through.

However, as a wisp of dark light emanated from the soul slaying platform and circulated through his Meridians, that feeling of being seen through disappeared.

Hmm?

This time, it was the middle-aged man's turn to feel curious.

However, he didn't show it, nor did he ask.

His gaze towards Shen Tianxing held a hint of curiosity.

"Clearly just a Half-step Divine Profound Cultivator, yet he can block my Divine Thought. This young man seems uncommon."

Such a peculiar phenomenon hadn't occurred in many years.

"The dragon saliva flower will mature in another hour."

"I only want its seeds. The dragon saliva flower can be yours, but what will you exchange with me?"

An unexpected answer!

This surprised both Shen Tianxing and Shi Linglong!

However, Shen Tianxing quickly recovered.

Negotiating terms?

That makes it easy!

He was only afraid that the other party would be unwilling; then he would be helpless!
