Chapter 979 305: Yellow Heaven Dao

At this moment, Shen Chongming suddenly realized a very serious problem!

His innate Wood God Thunder Spirit Root seemed a bit too conspicuous!

Previously, in Yangnao Land, his grandfather Shen Yuan only taught them that possessing a treasure could bring calamity.

Shen Chongming had always thought that wealth stirred people's hearts and never imagined that one day his own body and spirit root would become an enticing "treasure".

After some contemplation, he also understood that he had not seen the cruel lower limits of the Cultivation Realm.

Hide my identity, hide my spirit root!

At this instant, such a thought suddenly sprang up in Shen Chongming's mind!

"Thunder Spirit."

With a slight thought, his heart spirit called out in the Dantian.

"Master understands!"

The Thunder Pool Spirit in the Dantian, in sync with his thoughts, instantly understood his idea.

"Boy, I can now hide your aura, but if faced with a specialized probe from a Nascent Soul True Monarch, there is still a risk of exposure."

"Moreover..."

The Thunder Pool Spirit paused, its tone somewhat serious: "You have previously demonstrated the Thunder Light Escape Skill before several cultivators riding colorful clouds..."

"Do you understand what Master means?"

Hearing the Thunder Pool Spirit's words, Shen Chongming squinted slightly, thinking internally before saying, "No worries, I won't linger here long, that person probably won't have a deep impression of me."

The Thunder Pool Spirit still wanted to persuade him, but ultimately did not speak.

In the Thunder Pool of the Dantian, the wings of the Thunder Pool Spirit fluttered slightly, the mysterious and complex array patterns on the ancient Thunder Pool surface suddenly lighting up.

The next moment, Shen Chongming's aura and appearance clearly changed.

The Wood God Thunder Spirit Root was disguised as the most ordinary Wood Attribute Spirit Root, and even his cultivation was transformed by the Thunder Pool into the Realm of Perfection for the Golden Core.

The changes in aura and appearance, coupled with his attire, made it difficult to recognize Shen Chongming even if he encountered acquaintances from back in Yangnao Land.

After altering his appearance and aura, he returned to the bustling market and found a shop specializing in buying and selling demon beast materials, where he sold the materials from the demon beasts he had hunted in the past two days and the pills.

"Pardon my intrusion, I observe that Fellow Daoist has reached Golden Core Perfection, and I wonder if you would need an excellent cauldron to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm?"

While waiting for the shop assistant to fetch the spirit crystals, a sneaky-eyed cultivator in the late stage of Golden Core seized the opportunity to approach and inquire in a low voice.

Shen Chongming looked at him cautiously without speaking.

That sneaky-eyed Golden Core late-stage cultivator smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, it's a brand new item at the early stage of Golden Core, with innate Primordial Yin still intact!"

"You can absorb her cultivation, surely boosting your own, and you might even break through to the Purple Mansion Realm in one go."

"Only eight thousand spirit crystals..."

That Golden Core late-stage cultivator continued whispering enticing words.

Just as Shen Chongming was about to refuse, the shop assistant arrived holding a tray containing spirit crystals, accompanied by an elderly man dressed in a blue cloud-embroidered robe with a bun on top.

The elder exuded an extraordinary and ethereal aura, clearly already a great cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm.

The sneaky-eyed Golden Core late-stage cultivator, upon seeing the elder, immediately had a change of expression and was about to flee out of the shop like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Stop!"

The Purple Mansion Realm elder said with a stern face in a cold voice.

The sneaky-eyed Golden Core late-stage cultivator froze upon hearing the words, quickly turned around, and respectfully saluted the elder, "Greetings, Senior Xu."

The elder snorted coldly, "I warned your Hall Master before, if you come to the Xu Family's shop to deceive again, I'll cripple your cultivation and throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Do you take my words as mere wind in your ears!?"

The sneaky-eyed cultivator's face changed dramatically, hurriedly bowing in submission, "Senior Xu, please calm your anger, I just got here, and besides, this fellow Daoist hasn't..."

"Get out!"

The elder seemed disinterested in hearing his explanation and immediately issued a cold order!

That voice seemed to carry a power that shook the divine spirit.

The sneaky-eyed Golden Core late-stage cultivator was directly startled into spewing blood by the elder's shout, his aura significantly weakened.

"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"

Even so, the sneaky-eyed cultivator dared not harbor any resentment, expressing gratitude before scurrying away in embarrassment.

The elder glanced at Shen Chongming and, noticing his somewhat strange attire, said calmly after a moment's thought, "Young one, as cultivators, we should tread the path steadily, it's best to avoid going down unjust paths."

Shen Chongming was dazed for a moment, then smiled and saluted, "Thank you for the advice, Senior."

Seeing his courteous attitude, the elder's expression softened significantly, personally taking the tray of spirit crystals from the assistant and handing it over.

"Loose cultivator, perhaps?"

Shen Chongming nodded repeatedly.

"It's not easy to acquire some cultivation resources. This is what you earned from selling demon beast materials just now, totaling one thousand seven hundred eighty spirit crystals, please count them."

Shen Chongming glanced at the pile of spirit crystals on the tray, didn't count them, and directly waved them into his storage bag.

Seeing this, the elder frowned slightly, then chuckled and shook his head.

"The Xu Family's demon hunting team plans to clear out a sea nest soon. I see your aura is robust, and your strength should be quite good."

"There is a reward of five thousand spirit crystals if successful. The demon beast materials and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures obtained during the process will be bought back by the Xu Family at market price. Are you interested?"

Clear out a sea nest?

Shen Chongming hesitated upon hearing this.

He had already carefully calculated, and the journey back to Yangnao Land was long and arduous, with the flying boat costing no less than ten thousand spirit crystals.
