“Hehe, Friend Shen need not worry, Junior Sect Leader is fine, and in fact, she's doing very well. She is currently in seclusion within the Huallian Forbidden Area, attempting to break through to the True Immortal Realm,” the Black Bear Demon chuckled.

“A breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm!” Shen Luo was taken aback.

Before he entered Dreamland the last time, Nie Caizhu had been preparing to break through to the Mahayana Stage, and now she was already trying to hit the True Immortal Realm!

But considering that a hundred years had passed, given Nie Caizhu's aptitude, it wasn't such an astonishing thing.

“Caizhu is already attempting to break through to the True Immortal Stage, so I must also hasten my cultivation,” Shen Luo's mood tightened again, which had loosened slightly due to the disappearance of the Demon Clan.

“Junior Sect Leader is exceptionally talented, and with the resources of Mount Putuo at her disposal, it's natural for her cultivation to advance quickly. However, it seems that Friend Shen's cultivation level is somewhat lagging behind. Bai Xiaotian, who had visited Mount Putuo with you before, recently paid us a visit. He is also close to reaching the Late Mahayana Stage,” the Black Bear Demon said with a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo's eyebrows furrowed. His hundred-year sleep had caused him to fall behind his peers in terms of cultivation level.

Although the jade pillow was shattered, his prior experience in Dreamland remained, and his understanding of Mahayana Stage cultivation was crystal clear. He believed that as long as there was a sufficient supply of vitality, his cultivation level could be rapidly improved.

“Some incidents happened to me in the past years, which kept me asleep until now, and I have indeed fallen behind my peers by quite a bit. It seems I need to catch up diligently,” Shen Luo chuckled.

“Oh? What happened that made you sleep for so many years?” the Black Bear Demon asked with a surprised expression, sitting up straight.

“It was nothing major, and the issue has already been resolved,” Shen Luo didn't elaborate.

Seeing that Shen Luo did not wish to discuss the matter, the Black Bear Demon didn't pursue it further.

“Protector Elder, since your cultivation is profound and you have an abundance of resources, I wonder if you might have treasures or elixirs containing a large amount of water property spiritual power, similar to Sweet Dew Water? My cultivation may be weak, but I have some savings. If possible, I'd like to make an exchange with the Elder,” Shen Luo said after pondering for a moment, and then with a flick of his sleeve, he swept across the table.

More than a dozen items shone with spiritual light appeared on the table, most of them various precious Spirit Grasses that he had gathered from Daughter Village and the Tear Demon Cave.

The Black Bear Demon had gone to great lengths to create a Medicine Garden, obviously valuing Spirit Grass highly. Therefore, Shen Luo offered the most precious among them; as for the other Spiritual Materials, they were also the highest quality he had on him.

The Black Bear Demon's gaze swept over these materials, his expression unchanging.

Shen Luo observed this and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Although these Spirit Grasses and materials were precious, they were mostly useful only for Great Mahayana Stage Cultivators. The Black Bear Demon, being a Late True Immortal Stage Demon Cultivator, naturally wouldn't be interested.

He pondered in silence, considering how to use other items to move the demon.

“Eh! This is Ice Cap Grass!” the Black Bear Demon suddenly exclaimed with surprise, turning his gaze towards a snow-white Spirit Grass.

“Indeed, it is Ice Cap Grass. The Elder really is well-informed,” Shen Luo said with a smile upon seeing this.

“This grass has gone extinct in the Human World. I have been to various mystical Cave Mansions in search of it but have never been able to find it. Where did you obtain it?” the Black Bear Demon eagerly asked as he picked up the grass to examine it more closely.

“I stumbled upon it in a hidden cave under the Eastern Sea. I've only seen a brief record of this grass in an ancient tome and was unaware of its specific uses,” Shen Luo asked with a glint in his eye.

“It's understandable that you don't know. Ice Cap Grass is a Spirit Grass from Ancient Times. Although it's not of high grade, it contains a trace of Chaos Evil Qi. When refined into a suitable elixir, it has the effect of stimulating the body and tempering the flesh, which is very suitable for our Demon Race's body refining practices. During the Witch-Demon Great War in ancient times, our Demon Clan made deft use of Ice Cap Grass to push their strength to the pinnacle, often gaining the upper hand in great battles against the Witch Clan,” the Black Bear Demon carefully inspected the grass in his hand, not lifting his gaze as he asked.

“Tempering the flesh!” Shen Luo's eyes gleamed, but they dimmed again shortly afterward.

“`

The Ice Cap Grass is the only one of its kind, and although it might be possible to cultivate more through propagation, he lacked the resources and time for that.

“I do not have many water-element spiritual materials on hand, only two drops of undistilled Sweet Dew Water, which should sustain your cultivation for a period of time. How about we trade this Ice Cap Grass and these two pieces of spiritual material for them?” said the Black Bear Demon, pointing to the Ice Cap Grass and two other spirit grasses.

“Of course, that's fine.” Shen Luo felt disappointed inside, but his face did not reveal it, and he nodded in agreement.

The Black Bear Demon didn't haggle, turning his hand and passing over a blue jade bottle.

Shen Luo accepted the jade bottle and scanned the inside with his Divine Sense.

Inside the bottle, two drops of Sweet Dew Water lay quietly, emitting pure water spiritual power. Although it was not as potent as the drop he had obtained earlier, the water spiritual power contained within was also quite considerable.

“Thank you, Protector Elder,” he said, gratefully pocketing the jade bottle.

“Heh, Brother Shen's cultivation level isn't high, but you certainly have a rich collection of items,” remarked the Black Bear Demon as he gathered the three spirit grasses, looking at Shen Luo with a smile.

“Thank you for the compliment, Elder. Speaking of collections, I have a treasure that might be of use to you,” said Shen Luo, his eyes flickering with possibility as he spoke.

“Oh? What is it?” The Black Bear Demon showed a look of interest.

“A cultivation note left by an Elder of the Taiyi Realm, which records his insights and realizations from when he made a breakthrough to the Taiyi Realm,” Shen Luo said with a smile.

This Taiyi Cultivator was none other than himself.

The Black Bear Demon suddenly stood up, his face showing a look of shock.

His cultivation level had already reached the Late True Immortal Stage, and his next step was to break through to the Taiyi Realm. The insights of a Taiyi Cultivator on making this realm breakthrough were critically important to him, something he absolutely had to acquire.

Although Master Guan Yue of Mount Putuo had also broken through to the Taiyi Realm, her breakthrough chiefly relied on the assistance of a secret treasure of Mount Putuo, making her experience not very helpful to the Black Bear Demon. Furthermore, even so, Master Guan Yue's cultivation notes were not something one could easily view.

“What treasure does Friend Shen wish to exchange for?” the Black Bear Demon asked after taking a deep breath to calm his excitement.

“I would like to trouble the Elder to assist me with three tasks in exchange for this cultivation note,” said Shen Luo as he took out an ancient and yellowed jade slip.

“What are these three tasks?” The Black Bear Demon fixed his gaze on the ancient jade slip, his breathing becoming rapid.

“First, I am currently lacking in water-element treasures for my cultivation; other items I have in abundance. Since Protector Elder's cultivation is profound, and the circle of friends you associate with likely have high realms as well, I would like to trouble the Elder to help me collect some elixirs or treasures for cultivation,” Shen Luo said, having already planned what to request.

“No problem,” the Black Bear Demon immediately nodded.

Although these tasks were cumbersome, with some extra time he could accomplish them without much trouble.

“The second task, I am very interested in the body tempering elixirs that the Elder just mentioned, which are refined from the Ice Cap Grass. When the Elder has successfully refined them, please share some with me,” Shen Luo paused, then continued.

The battles in Dreamland told him that having a resilient body could give him a great advantage in combat.

He had also attempted to practice the Huangting Technique in reality, but regrettably, due to his limited aptitude, the progress was incredibly slow, and so far, it had been fruitless. If he could get hold of the body tempering elixir made from the Ice Cap Grass, it should be greatly beneficial to his practice of the Huangting Technique.
