Chapter 506: Chapter 500: Thick-skinned [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

Tianpeng smacked his lips.

It seemed he was somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn’t dare to defy Sha Chen.

However, he soon noticed the presence of the White Bone Demon, and his eyes immediately bulged.

Drooling profusely, he approached her. "This fairy sister is truly beautiful! How come I’ve never seen you before?"

The White Bone Demon chuckled. "Marshal Tianpeng doesn’t remember me? It was I who chased you here, even burned down your Yunzhan Cave, and nearly turned you into a roast suckling pig."

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng’s expression changed instantly.

He exclaimed in shock, "Ah, you can’t be... Are you that White Bone Demon?"

He formed a hand seal, his eyes glowing with divine light as he scrutinized the White Bone Demon, only to find her possessed of flesh and blood, radiant and vibrant.

He shook his head resolutely. "Impossible, you are not the White Bone Demon. You are so beautiful, with flesh and blood, even pores. How could you possibly be that skeleton?"

The White Bone Demon scoffed. "As expected. Men really do judge with their lower half."

Tianpeng retorted, "I *confront* with my lower half, don’t get me wrong."

The White Bone Demon said a bit more, and Tianpeng had already figured out that this woman was indeed the White Bone Demon.

Still, he simply couldn’t accept that the White Bone Demon could possess flesh and blood.

The White Bone Demon explained, "My master gave me an Undying Magical Medicine that allowed my bones to grow flesh, giving me this beautiful and delicate body I have now."

HISS!

"Undying Magical Medicine!?"

Tianpeng was aghast. "Old Sha, you have Undying Magical Medicine? That’s the Queen of the West’s Undying Magical Medicine! How could you possess it!?"

Sha Chen replied indifferently, "I have the Undying Elixir, so I just refine it myself." This was an admission.

Tianpeng was both shocked and delighted. His eyes darted around as he sidled up, trying to ingratiate himself, but Sha Chen slapped his arm away.

Still, Tianpeng didn’t take offense; instead, he became even more obsequious.

He smiled pleadingly. "Old Sha, brother, don’t be like that. We’re brothers, after all. Now that your brother is in trouble, won’t you help out?"

"Ah, you have no idea! That old coot Zhenyuanzi once hid on me, leaving me with lasting problems. Give me eight or ten Undying Magical Medicines so I can recover."

Sha Chen swatted away his outstretched hand and huffed, "Don’t talk nonsense. You, wanting Undying Magical Medicine? That’s impossible."

"However, if you have any persistent ailments or injuries, I can directly use Pushing Effort Over Blood to treat you when the time comes."

He formed a hand seal and directly used Pushing Effort Over Blood on Tianpeng, healing his internal injuries in an instant.

Tianpeng had just mentioned it casually, as such hidden injuries weren’t a major concern to him and would have healed slowly over time anyway.

But after Sha Chen easily resolved them, he instantly felt refreshed and revitalized.

His eyes brightened. "Old Sha, you have such a great Divine Power! Teach me, I want to learn too!"

Sha Chen replied indifferently, "You can’t learn it. You don’t have the right attribute."

The White Bone Demon also wanted to learn. She strode forward with a flirtatious gesture. "Master, I want to learn too. Teach me, please! You can do whatever you want with me, okay?"

Sha Chen replied indifferently, "Don’t make trouble. You’re not suitable either. This Divine Power is suitable for cultivation by those with the Muyi Attribute, and they must also possess the relevant aptitude."

He shook his head. "There are quite a few people around me, but hardly anyone with the Muyi Attribute."

It wasn’t that he was being secretive; in fact, he had passed on many Divine Powers and spells.

But some Great Divine Powers have very strong attribute requirements; they can’t be learned just because he passes them down.

He, however, was different. He received them as system rewards and could use them without needing to learn.

Tianpeng said, "Old Sha, since I can’t learn it, how about giving me a few Undying Magical Medicines to keep on me?"

Sha Chen sat back down, drinking by himself, and glanced at him. "You almost got me killed by bringing Zhenyuanzi here, and I haven’t even settled the score with you for that."

"Now you’ve come, not even bringing a welcome gift, but instead, you’re asking me for things. Don’t you feel embarrassed?"

Tianpeng instantly took the hint. He knew that Sha Chen, having stayed here for a long time, must be short on supplies and was looking for a handout. In fact, he was exactly right.

The resources brought by the White Bone Demon had long been squandered by Sha Chen, who was now so destitute he was practically scraping the ground for sustenance.

Without resources, it was difficult for Sha Chen to advance his cultivation.

His current cultivation was just half a step away from a breakthrough. Without resources, relying solely on his natural potential, it would likely take him around ten thousand years.

That was still a very conservative estimate. But Sha Chen couldn’t wait ten thousand years; he needed to break through sooner and faster.

The Journey to the West calamity was imminent, with only a few short decades remaining. He needed to achieve a cultivation breakthrough within that time.

Even if he couldn’t become a Saint, he aimed to elevate his cultivation to the Peak Quasi-Saint level.

Although it still wasn’t completely safe, combining it with his Primeval Chaos Law Body would still make him invincible at the same realm. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It would be best if, at the same time his cultivation broke through, his physical body could also make a breakthrough.

His physical body would reach the Great Perfection of the Primeval Chaos Law Body, comparable to the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang at his peak. Then, his cultivation would reach the Peak Quasi-Saint realm, comparable to Tathagata in his prime.

He would then be like a combination of Tathagata and Di Jiang—absolutely invincible within his realm.

Even when facing Sub-Sages, he was confident he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

At that point, even ordinary Saints would not find it easy to deal with him.

Of course, if he were to truly confront a Saint head-on, he still wouldn’t win, and the outcome could be quite grim. But he had no other choice.

Maximizing his strength before the Journey to the West calamity arrived was his best method for dealing with the impending danger.

Currently, he was famished for resources, and with his followers yet to return, Sha Chen was in dire need.

Understanding the situation, Tianpeng took out a few Qiankun Bags and emptied their contents.

Sha Chen opened them to find a mountain of resources, but they did not lift his spirits.

Frowning, he said, "You damned pig-head, are you joking with me? These resources might look plentiful, but they’re not very useful. They’re not even as good as eight or ten stalks of First-class Immortal Elixir."

Tianpeng said, "Old Sha, you’ve really misunderstood me. Brother, I’m not rich either! These are what I managed to save by scrimping and scraping, practically taking food from my own mouth to give to you."

Sha Chen looked disdainful. "You might as well take them back and eat them yourself. I have no use for this stuff."

These were just ordinary fourth or fifth-grade Immortal Elixirs and other corresponding cultivation resources.

If this were the Sha Chen of the past, he might have regarded them favorably, perhaps even with delight.

But times had changed. Not only did these common resources no longer have any effect on him, but even if converted into First-class Immortal Elixirs, they wouldn’t amount to many stalks.

And he had thousands of stalks of First-class Immortal Elixirs in his fields, mostly immature, but still far more than what Tianpeng offered.

Seeing his offerings disdained, Tianpeng, with a pang of reluctance, once again took out a Qiankun Bag. He emptied its contents, though he wistfully held back a few items.

These resources were much better, more than tenfold superior to what he had previously brought out. But that was it.

For a Daluo Golden Immortal to produce only these items was truly embarrassing.

Tianpeng explained, "Old Sha, don’t look down on them. I was deceived by Zhenyuanzi and wasted more than a decade, leaving me no time to gather resources."

"Besides, I’ve constantly been persecuted by the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. They’ve tried every trick to scheme against me. Tell me, how could I have gathered enough resources under those circumstances?"

Sha Chen considered this. Indeed, Tianpeng had been persecuted by the Heavenly Court and Buddhism and probably really didn’t have time to collect resources.

Though still somewhat disdainful, he saw no better option and accepted the resources.

They were enough for a month or two of cultivation, at least. Better than nothing.

Seeing this, Tianpeng smiled cheekily. "Old Sha, since you’ve accepted my things, could you spare me a couple of Undying Magical Medicines?"

Sha Chen immediately pushed the items back to him.

Tianpeng hurriedly said, "Just kidding, just kidding! If you don’t want to give them, then just let me die from my severe injuries on the road. So be it."

"If you’re not giving me any Undying Magical Medicine, you should at least have some other good things to share. Help me improve my cultivation too! Don’t tell me you don’t have anything. I’ve recently heard that in the Demon World, figures like Red Boy and the Black Bear Demon, as well as Lady Di Yong and the Spider Demons, have all reached high-level, even Pinnacle Daluo, cultivation. They’re extremely formidable."

He winked. "I know they’re your people. You can’t play favorites like that—be generous to them and stingy with me."
