Spirit-Tracking Beast

This makes it much easier for Shen Long to investigate the Loose Cultivator Assembly. If he really needs to hide his identity, he can simply change his appearance.

Over the next month, members of the Tang Clan and Xu Clan families frequently came to find Shen Long, either to spar, exchange cultivation insights, or discuss techniques for controlling insects and beasts.

In this way, Shen Long quickly integrated into the circle of the Tang Clan members, and with the help of the Tang Clan, he got to know more Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Shen Long successfully obtained portraits and intelligence about the remnants of the Loose Cultivator Assembly, including their Law Artifact, Spirit Beast Spirit Insect and insects, and Cultivation Method.

On this day, Shen Long was invited to Tang Yilong's residence. In addition to acquaintances such as Tang Keqing, Tang Kezhen, and Xu Tianlei, there was also a man in his early thirties wearing a gold shirt.

The man in the golden robe was tall and thin, and his robe was embroidered with patterns of scorpions, centipedes, and toads, clearly the symbol of some powerful faction.

"The Five Saints Sect!"

Shen Long recognized the mark.

The Five Saints Sect is a sect in the Southern Border Cultivation World. It was once the largest sect in the Southern Border Cultivation World and produced Spirit Transformation cultivators. However, times have changed and the Five Saints Sect is now only a medium-sized sect with Nascent Soul Cultivator in charge.

When Sun Sen was giving his lectures, he mentioned the Five Saints Sect. The cultivators of the Five Saints Sect were skilled in using poison, and most of their disciples were proficient in insect-repelling techniques and had a great fondness for poisonous insects.

"Fellow Daoist Shen has arrived. Let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Qin from the Five Saints Sect."

Tang Yilong began to introduce himself.

"My name is Qin Ming, and I greet Fellow Daoist Shen."

The man in the gold shirt introduced himself.

"My name is Shen Shi, and I greet Fellow Daoist Qin."

Shen Long clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

Tang Yilong invited Shen Long to sit down, and the group enjoyed tea and chatted.

An hour later, Tang Yilong proposed exchanging cultivation resources, which was agreed upon by all the cultivators.

Tang Yilong took out dozens of materials, including spirit medicine, Demon Core, Monster Beast Material, Spirit Wood, ores, etc., which he wanted to exchange for things to enhance his physical body.

Shen Long glanced at it but showed no interest. The other Foundation Establishment Cultivator took out items for Tang Yilong to examine and communicated through telepathy.

The cultivators took out their items and exchanged them one after another. After a short while, Qin Ming stood up and took out dozens of items, including Insect Eggs, poisonous herbs, poison pills, and Demon Core of poisonous insects.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, what kind of Demon Core is that?"

Shen Long's gaze fell on the two black Demon Core, and he asked.

"The Demon Core of a late-stage second-tier Soul-Severing Scorpion is suitable for feeding second-tier poisonous scorpions."

Qin Ming said.

He wants to exchange for Spirit Insect or Spirit Insect, or even poisonous plants and flowers.

Shen Long traded two bottles of Beast Spirit Pill for two Soul-Severing Scorpion Demon Core and some hundred-year-old poisonous herbs and flowers, intending to use them to cultivate Iron Tail Scorpion.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, what kind of Spirit Beast Egg is that?"

Tang Yilong pointed to a Golden Spirit Beast Egg and asked curiously.

The Golden Spirit Beast Egg had some cyan patterns on its surface, emitting a strong wave of vitality.

"Spirit-Tracking Beast! It can lock onto a target's Divine Sense, thus tracking the enemy. Changing one's aura is useless. In addition, it can also counter-track. If someone is following you, it can detect it, unless the target changes its own Divine Sense."

Qin Ming said.

"Spirit-Tracking Beast? This is the first time I've ever heard of such Spirit Beast."

Tang Yilong asked curiously.

"This is a unique Spirit Beast from our Southern Border. It possesses supernatural Divine Ability and excels at tracking and counter-tracking."

Qin Ming explained.

Having a Spirit-Tracking Beast in hand makes tracking enemies or counter-tracking much easier. Tang Yilong and several other Foundation Establishment Cultivator took out items for Qin Ming to examine, all wanting to exchange for the Spirit Beast Egg.

Shen Long transmitted his voice to Qin Ming: "Fellow Daoist Qin, how about I trade you a first-tier Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada?"

Xu Feng gave Shen Long two Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada Insect Eggs, which Shen Long did not hatch until he needed them to exchange for other items.

"Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada? Can I see it?"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up, and he transmitted his voice.

"I didn't bring it with me; I left it at my place. You can pick it up there; it's not far from here."

Shen Long transmitted his voice.

Qin Ming nodded, refusing to exchange with others; he had already exchanged most of the materials he brought out.

After Qin Ming finished exchanging items, Shen Long stood up, took out more than a dozen porcelain bottles, and said, "I'll exchange them for Pill Formula or exotic insects Strange Beast with special Divine Ability; Insect Eggs or Spirit Beast Egg are both fine."

Several Foundation Establishment Cultivator took out items for Shen Long to examine. Shen Long exchanged them for a second-tier pill formula, the Pill Formula Hundred Poison Pill. This pill was made from dozens of poisonous herbs and contained potent toxins. It could be used to feed poisonous insects and beasts, and even poison cultivators could consume it.

After the exchange, the cultivators chatted for a while before returning to their respective homes. Qin Ming followed Shen Long to Green Begonia Courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please sit for a moment, I'll go inside and get you the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada."

After saying this, Shen Long walked into the Green Begonia Pavilion.

Qin Ming sat in the stone pavilion and waited quietly.

After a while, Shen Long came out, took out a golden Spirit Beast Bag, and handed it to Qin Ming. Qin Ming opened the Spirit Beast Bag, and a Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada flew out, which was only at the early stage of the first rank.

"The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada!"

Qin Ming's eyes burned with fervor as he took out the Spirit-Tracking Beast Spirit Beast Egg and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long asked Qin Ming for advice on raising Spirit-Tracking Beast, and Qin Ming told him the truth. He then asked Shen Long for advice on raising the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, and Shen Long answered him enthusiastically.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Shen to even have the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada."

Qin Ming said meaningfully.

"My master is skilled in controlling insects and beasts. A first-tier Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada is nothing special; what's impressive is being able to cultivate it to a higher tier."

Shen Long said.

"That's true. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Shen to have a master. May I ask which senior Fellow Daoist Shen's master is?"

Qin Ming said with some surprise that Tang Yilong had not told Qin Ming Shen Long's background.

"I'm sorry, my master doesn't like me acting in his name."

Shen Long explained.

Qin Ming nodded, indicating his understanding.

After chatting for a while, Qin Ming said goodbye and left.

Shen Long entered Green Begonia Pavilion and hatched the Spirit-Tracking Beast.

······

In a Quiet Manor, Tang Yilong, Tang Keqing, and Tang Kezhen sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Qin intends to make an exchange with Fellow Daoist Shen."

Tang Keqing said with a regretful tone that she had also set her sights on the Spirit-Tracking Beast.

"It's just a Spirit Beast Egg. Raising it to the second tier would require an unknown amount of cultivation resources. In comparison, I'm more curious about what Fellow Daoist Shen is offering in exchange."

Tang Yilong said.

"The Spirit Control Sect excels at controlling insects and beasts. He's already offered Beast Spirit Pill in exchange, so he's probably going to trade it for a top-ranked rare insect or Spirit Beast with special Divine Ability!"

Tang Kezhen analyzed.

"If only I could trade with Fellow Daoist Shen for a top-ranked Spirit Insect."

Tang Keqing's face showed longing.

The Spirit Control Sect is renowned in the East Hua Cultivation World for its insect-controlling and beast-taming techniques, so it's not surprising that Shen Long possesses a high-ranking Spirit Insect.

"If we want to exchange for a top-ranked Spirit Insect with Fellow Daoist Shen, we'll need to offer some good items. He's a disciple of Core Formation Cultivator, so he certainly doesn't lack ordinary things."

Tang Yilong said.

"That's easy. Our Lineage has Third Rank Spirit Water, which enhances alchemy. He's Alchemist, so he shouldn't refuse."

Tang Keqing suggested.

Tang Yilong nodded and said, "Take good care of him. I'll go back to my clan and try to get some Third Rank Spirit Water."

"Yes, Eighth Uncle."

Tang Keqing and Tang Kezhen agreed.
