Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1468 - 1465: I Have a Friend

Yang Fei had a general understanding of Shen Wanjing’s past from Wan Daorong and had a deep respect for him.

A man who would destroy his own path to immortality for the sake of the woman he loved and a daughter without cultivation talent is undoubtedly one of the most loyal and emotional individuals in the Cultivation World.

Even if such a person were to turn bad, it wouldn’t be by much.

Moreover, Shen Wanjing, as described by Wan Daorong, is someone with an excellent reputation and character?

So when Shen Wanjing said he was lacking love, Yang Fei knew he wasn’t joking.

If he weren’t so devoted to the love of that mortal woman, he wouldn’t defy the heavens for the sake of their daughter.

As the head of the Shen family and a Half Step Dao Unity expert, there are countless people trying to ingratiate themselves with Shen Wanjing, but those who do it intentionally simply cannot give him the love and familial bond he seeks.

Yang Fei remained silent for a moment, then jokingly shrank his neck and said to Shen Wanjing, "I’m a man, and you’re coming to me for love..."

"Hahaha..."

Seeing his demeanor, Shen Wanjing laughed heartily: "I don’t have that kind of preference. While you may be handsome, I’ve seen plenty of peerless beauties over the millennia in this Great Cultivation World, and you don’t even rank."

Yang Fei hadn’t expected him to understand this kind of humor and couldn’t help but chuckle, saying: "That’s good. Although you’re a Unity Realm expert, many are willing to sell themselves to suit your favor. However, I, Yang Fei, cannot do such a thing."

"Disgusting." Shen Wanjing waved his hand and said: "I’m here to discuss something serious with you."

Yang Fei put away his joking demeanor and sat upright: "Go ahead."

"I need more of that divine medicine you gave me last time, as much as possible." Shen Wanjing said directly.

Yang Fei understood at once.

He was indeed interested in the Genetic Liquid Medicine. His earlier interest in the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace was merely coincidental.

"Does the Genetic Liquid Medicine work on experts like you?" Yang Fei couldn’t help but ask.

Shen Wanjing nodded.

Yang Fei was overjoyed.

This was definitely tremendous news.

If the Genetic Liquid Medicine only worked on low rank cultivators, its value wouldn’t be too high. But now that it has some effect even on top-tier experts like Shen Wanjing, its value in the Cultivation World would be maximized.

As long as these top-tier experts also needed the Genetic Liquid Medicine, his safety in this Great Cultivation World would reach the highest level.

He only needed to keep a firm grasp on the Genetic Liquid Medicine, and these top-tier experts would inevitably come to him.

Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that these top-tier experts might try to extort him for the Genetic Liquid Medicine. Earlier, he had no ability to resist when he was with Wang Yuanxiao, and Shen Wanjing was even stronger than Wang Yuanxiao, which meant he had more means to control him.

So after a brief joy, Yang Fei became extremely cautious again.

"You don’t need to worry. I, Shen Wanjing, conduct myself with integrity. Our Shen family is known as a merchant family in the Cultivation World, and although we may have used some unsavory techniques in our early days, we’ve reached this stage based on our reputation and integrity."

Shen Wanjing seemed to see through Yang Fei’s thoughts and smiled reassuringly.

Yang Fei’s heart tightened, secretly shocked.

Whether Shen Wanjing could truly see through his thoughts was uncertain. He knew he had no ability to resist in front of this person, so he boldly admitted: "Since Senior Brother Shen is so straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush. I do have Genetic Liquid Medicine, but it might not be enough to meet your demand."

Shen Wanjing laughed: "Is it because the Six Great Cultivation Forces from the Southern Domain and the Shang Qing Sect also need you to supply them?"

Yang Fei nodded: "That’s one reason, but it’s just part of it. The biggest issue is the limited production of the Genetic Liquid Medicine."

Shen Wanjing fixed his gaze on Yang Fei and asked: "How much can be produced annually?"

Yang Fei magically produced a large bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine from his hand and said: "By our timeline, we can produce two large bottles like the one in my hand each year."

Shen Wanjing frowned: "So little?"

Yang Fei replied: "That’s already quite a lot."

Shen Wanjing looked at the large bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine before looking at Yang Fei’s face, puzzled: "You mentioned calculating by your timeline, what did you mean?"

Despite the intelligence system of the Shen family in the Southern South Domain being powerful and knowing the secret of Earth’s existence and the greatest secret of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, they were not familiar with Earth.

Yang Fei explained it.

Shen Wanjing’s eyes brightened: "So, following the Southern Domain Cultivation World’s timeline, you can produce six such bottles of Genetic Liquid Medicine yearly?"

Yang Fei nodded: "Yes."

Shen Wanjing said: "For such divine medicine, having that kind of output is decent."

Yang Fei sighed: "Unfortunately, there are too many cultivators, it’s still not enough to go around."

Shen Wanjing shook his head: "In the Cultivation World, it’s survival of the fittest. Good things are taken by those capable. You already have plenty of Genetic Liquid Medicine, the reason it doesn’t seem enough is that you’re too weak."

Yang Fei nodded: "That’s right. If I had cultivation like Senior Brother Shen, no one could take what belongs to me."

Shen Wanjing shook his head again: "You’re wrong. Even I, Shen Wanjing, can’t enjoy top-tier cultivation resources alone in this Great Cultivation World. They must be shared; otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived to this day, nor could I preserve the massive fortune of the Shen family until now."

Yang Fei was stunned.

Shen Wanjing said: "Remember this, no matter how powerful someone is, even if invincible in the world, if they do not understand sharing and leveraging or aligning with other strong individuals, they are destined not to go far in the Cultivation World."

Yang Fei furrowed his brow and said: "That’s because that person isn’t strong enough, right?"

Shen Wanjing paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, pointing his finger at Yang Fei: "You’re right. If that person were powerful enough to resist all top-tier experts in the Cultivation World, they would be a god. Unfortunately, in the tens of thousands of years of the Great Cultivation World, no such figure has ever emerged."

"Why not?" Yang Fei asked.

Shen Wanjing said: "The world is vast, and genius after genius emerges endlessly, but cultivation resources are limited. Do you think top-tier experts who dominate whole eras like Gaia can easily appear? Moreover, if one’s realm reaches that extent, they no longer belong to this world."

"No longer belong to this world?" Yang Fei was greatly puzzled.

Shen Wanjing pointed to the sky.

Yang Fei was moved: "There’s a higher world?"

"Of course, otherwise why would we cultivate?" Shen Wanjing replied calmly.

After speaking, his gaze returned to the large bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine in Yang Fei’s hand and said: "Name a price for this large bottle?"

The previous time he was at the Shen family, Yang Fei had already given him a small bottle. Now, knowing the miraculous effects of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, and the small production run, he realized how generous Yang Fei had been to give him one as a first meeting gift.

Now, seeing such a large bottle before him, he naturally wanted it, but he knew he had to offer a price that would persuade Yang Fei.

When Yang Fei came to the Southern Domain, he discreetly brought a fair amount of Genetic Liquid Medicine, but in reality, only three large bottles remained.

One large bottle was promised to Li Shuya, which means only two remain.

He couldn’t be so generous as to give a whole large bottle directly to Shen Wanjing, yet he badly needed Shen Wanjing as a powerful ally and background support.

After some thought, Yang Fei recalled something and said, "I have a friend named Sun Xingyu..."
