Taking Action Against the Barbarian Race

Shen Long had seized a Foundation Establishment from the enemy while on a mission in the Zhao Kingdom in his early years. He kept it, but it wasn't of much use to him. However, it would be good for trading.

He is a second-tier Alchemist and can access the Pill Formula for Foundation Establishment. Once he has gathered all the necessary materials, he can refine the Foundation Establishment.

"No problem, deal."

Mu Weiwei's face lit up with joy, and she agreed.

"Wait!"

Shen Long's hand gripped the wooden box.

Mu Weiwei frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what do you mean by this?"

"Fairy Mu, you have too few fragments. In terms of value, Foundation Establishment are far more valuable than these fragments. Even Gold-Eating Ant Queen devoured these fragments, she might not be able to advance to the Third Rank, right?"

Shen Long said.

"What does Fellow Daoist Shen mean?"

Mu Weiwei asked in confusion.

"It's not that I can't afford tens of thousands of Spirit Stone. Fairy Mu has traveled all over the country, she must have some good things on her! If I wanted to sell Foundation Establishment, there would be plenty of people willing to buy them from me."

Shen Long said.

Mu Weiwei pondered for a moment, then took out a two-inch-long piece of Black Wood and handed it to Shen Long.

"This is a piece of 300-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood. Wearing it can nourish the soul, calm the mind, and prevent cultivation Qi Deviation. However, it only contains one Foundation Establishment, which is a loss for me. Soul-Nourishing Wood is one of the Ten Great Spirit Woods."

Mu Weiwei said.

In the Gan Yang Realm, there are ten kinds of Spirit Wood with special effects, collectively known as the Ten Great Spirit Woods, Soul-Nourishing Wood is one of them.

Five-hundred-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood can be used to refine Law Treasure, store Essence Soul, and prolong the time it takes for soul power to dissipate. However, the Soul-Nourishing Wood that Mu Weiwei took out was too small, only three hundred years old, which was not enough to refine magical Law Treasure.

Shen Long took out a Cyan Gourd and handed it to Mu Weiwei, saying, "This contains some Mystic Cold True Water!"

Mu Weiwei pried open the gourd stopper, and a surge of extremely cold air rushed out.

After carefully examining it and confirming that it was Mystic Cold True Water, she nodded and said, "Deal."

"The Wood Fairy is quite capable; she even managed to obtain a three-hundred-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood."

Shen Long praised.

"It's just a small piece, and it's not very old, so it can't be refined into Law Treasure. It's fine for making a Law Artifact, and it can be used to store a fragment of a soul or the Essence Soul of Demon Beast."

Mu Weiwei said.

Shen Long nodded. He naturally knew that he already had the Spirit-Nourishing Pendant, and this piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood was enough to refine a Soul-Nourishing Magic Law Artifact.

After chatting for a while, Shen Long said goodbye and left.

He had just returned to Spirit Control Garden when Qian Dafu walked towards him.

"Junior Brother Qian, are you going out?"

Shen Long asked casually.

Qian Dafu helped Shen Long find out Xu Yunfeng's background and was responsible for registering the quantity and purpose of the supplies. People from all three kingdoms were placed there to prevent people from other forces from lining their own pockets.

"Yes! I've already booked the banquet, Senior Brother Shen. You can just go directly there."

Qian Dafu said.

He was good at handling routine affairs and helped Shen Long with trivial matters.

"Alright, arrive early, and I'll introduce you to a few fellow cultivators."

Shen Long said.

"No need, I have something to do and can't go. Maybe next time!"

Qian Dafu declined.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Alright! You go ahead with your work, just let me know if you need any help."

"Must."

Qian Dafu agreed and walked out.

Back at his residence, Shen Long entered a secret room and released the Gold-Eating Ant.

He controlled the number of Gold-Eating Ant to over 100,000, with more than 2,000 Second-tier Gold-Eating Ant, and this number was still increasing. He now used the Gold-Eating Ant to fight enemies, and their power had increased considerably, but the cost of feeding the Gold-Eating Ant had also increased accordingly.

Shen Long couldn't feed every single Gold-Eating Ant with Beast Spirit Pill; only the Gold-Eating Ant Queen received this treatment.

He took out a Cyan Storage Bag, shook it with the opening facing down, and a cyan glow swept across, leaving a large pile of refining materials on the ground.

More than 100,000 Gold-Eating Ant swarmed forward, gnawing at the refining materials.

Shen Long released the Iron Tail Scorpion and fed it an inner core of a late-stage second-tier poisonous Inner Core and a Beast Spirit Pill.

The Iron Tail Scorpion consumed a considerable amount of poisonous herbs Poison Sac, as well as the Inner Core of many poisonous insects and beasts, greatly increasing its toxicity and significantly enhancing its strength.

As their rank increased, the Gold-Eating Ant also increased their eating speed, and before long, they had finished eating all the refining materials on the ground.

Shen Long fed the Gold-Eating Ant Queen a Beast Spirit Pill, then put them back into his Spirit Beast Bag, closed his eyes to rest, and meditated to regulate his breathing.

The day passed quickly. At seven quarters past 5 PM, it was already dark, the streets were brightly lit, and there were many pedestrians.

Shen Long arrived at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. A Green-Shirted Attendant saw Shen Long and quickly walked over, saying, "Senior Shen, Senior Qian has already given instructions. Please follow me."

Shen Long followed the waiter in the Green-Shirted Attendant to a private room, which could easily accommodate fifty people.

"Is the banquet all prepared?"

Shen Long asked.

"Everything is ready, but I don't know when Senior Shen would like to serve the dishes."

"That's what the Green-Shirted Attendant said."

"I'll let you know when it's time to serve the food. First, bring a pot of good tea and two plates of spirit cakes. If anyone is looking for me, bring them to this private room."

Shen Long gave the order, took out two Spirit Stone, and tossed them to the Green-Shirted Attendant.

The Green-Shirted Attendant smiled even more broadly and said, "Yes, Senior Shen, I'll be right there."

The Green-Shirted Attendant turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Shen Long sat down and waited quietly.

Not long after, Green-Shirted Attendant entered, carrying a blue tray. He placed a pot of Spirit Tea and two plates of pastries on the tray and then withdrew.

Shen Long took out a thick Blue Book words "Summary of Barbarian Slaying" written on the cover. It was compiled by the Cold Flame Sect and recorded methods for dealing with Barbarian Race.

Barbarian Race, regardless of gender, have relatively strong physical bodies. Once Barbarian Race the same level gets close, the chances of survival are slim. Thunder Method, ice Law Technique, poison techniques, and Fire Element Divine Ability are quite effective against Barbarian Race cultivators.

In addition, this book also records the weaknesses of the Barbarian Race Totem Technique. The Cold Flame Sect printed and distributed it in large quantities to the cultivators on the front lines.

Compared to the Barbarian Race, the Human Race has a wide variety of Cultivation Method and secret arts, including sword cultivation, Sound Cultivator, insect cultivation, poison cultivation, magic Body Cultivator, ghost cultivation, Puppet Master, and so on. The Barbarian Race have relatively fewer methods.

Shen Long read it with great interest. This book also recorded some Foundation Establishment Cultivator ' experiences in dealing with Barbarian Race cultivators. Barbarian Race cultivators from different tribes had different methods and strengths.

The Barbarian Race cultivators of the Sky Wolf Tribe greatly amplified their physical bodies when using Totem Technique, while the Barbarian Race cultivators of the Thunder Eagle Tribe were very agile and had faster reaction speeds when using Totem Technique.

After a while, the door opened and Chu Yanran walked in. She was currently in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

"Fairy Chu, you've arrived so early."

Shen Long put away his books, smiled slightly at Chu Yanran, and said, "Fairy Chu, you've arrived very early."

"Fellow Daoist Shen is hosting, it's natural to arrive early. It seems the other fellow Daoists haven't arrived yet."

Chu Yanran smiled slightly and sat down.

Shen Long poured her a cup of Spirit Tea and said, "By the way, Fairy Chu, why didn't your brother come?"

"He was injured by the Barbarian Race and hasn't fully recovered yet."

Chu Yanran explained.

Shen Long suddenly realized what was going on and started chatting with Chu Yanran.

Chu Yanran is about to fight against the Foundation Establishment Realm Barbarian Race cultivator, relying on Law Artifact and Spirit Beast beasts to defeat Barbarian Race.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shen, do you have any Spirit Beast or Spirit Insect with powerful bloodlines? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy them from you."

Chu Yanran said.

Her Spirit Beast, which she had nurtured for many years, was killed by Barbarian Race cultivators. Currently, she has no second-tier Spirit Beast and is not confident in fighting against Barbarian Race cultivators.

"No, powerful bloodline? At most, it's second-tier. If you're interested, I can ask Junior Brother Qian to keep an eye out for you. We're friends, so no need for a high price."

Shen Long said.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you. The main problem is that my Spirit Beast was killed by the Barbarian Race cultivators. In a direct confrontation, without the help of my Spirit Beast, I'm no match for the Barbarian Race."

Chu Yanran said.

The Spirit Control Sect excels at controlling insects and beasts, so Spirit Beast beasts or Spirit Insect recommended by the Spirit Control Sect disciple are bound to be of high quality.

"It's a piece of cake. It seems the Barbarian Race cultivators are indeed formidable."

Shen Long said with a smile.

"Barbarian Race cultivators are indeed powerful, but Fellow Daoist Shen is not weak either. If you were to face Barbarian Race cultivator, I believe they would be no match for you."

Chu Yanran said.

"I agree with that. Great teachers produce great students. Senior Lin's Divine Ability are astonishing, and Fellow Daoist Shen is third in the Mystic Yang Dharma Assembly, so his strength must be considerable."

A cheerful male voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly Red-Shirted Man walked in. Red-Shirted Man had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and large hands and feet.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, you've arrived."

Shen Long smiled slightly and greeted him.

The Red-Shirted Man is named Xia Yihu. He comes from the Xia Clan of Golden Flame Valley. The Xia Clan is an affiliated cultivation Lineage of the Cold Flame Sect. They have more than ten Core Formation Cultivator, making them powerful and well-established.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why must you stay in the Heavenly Pill Palace refining pills all the time? You should also engage in battles with the Barbarian Race cultivators."

Xia Yihu's voice was loud and clear.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is Alchemist; he can contribute by refining pills. It's not like he has to fight against Barbarian Race cultivators to make a contribution."

A pleasant female voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Keke walked in.

Shen Long invited the two to sit down, and they began to chat.

Foundation Establishment Cultivator arrived one after another, and more than thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivator gathered in this private room.

Once everyone had arrived, Shen Long raised his glass and said, "I'd like to propose a toast to everyone."

After saying this, all the cultivators raised their wine cups in return to Shen Long.

After a glass of wine, Shen Long and the others started chatting, mostly about the war.

"I've heard that the Barbarian Race have started sending people deep into our Human Race territory to cause trouble, resulting in considerable damage."

Xia Yihu said.

The border between the Human Race and the Barbarian Race is very long and cannot be covered by the Formation. Barbarian Race cultivators have the opportunity to send people deep into the Human Race territory to cause trouble, attack resource storage points, and attack supply lines.

"We could also send people into their territory to cause trouble! An eye for an eye!"

Bai Keke said.

"Fairy Bai, you may not know this, but the Barbarian Race send Half-Barbarian or Human Race to cause trouble. It's very difficult for us to defend against them. As soon as we Human Race appear on Barbarian Race territory and encounter Barbarian Race, the Barbarian Race will kill us without hesitation. It's very difficult to infiltrate. Moreover, the Barbarian Race ' Totem Technique is quite powerful. Once they block our way, it's very difficult to escape."

Xia Yihu explained.

The descendants of Barbarian Race and Human Race cultivators are called Half-Barbarian. Half-Barbarian possess Human Race characteristics and can cultivate the Five Cultivation Method or other Cultivation Method just like Human Race cultivators. They can also refine pills, craft weapons, make talismans, and set up formations. Barbarian Race will train Half-Barbarian and send them back to Human Race territory to gather intelligence, collect cultivation resources, and cause trouble during wartime.

Conversely, Human Race cultivators who wanted to infiltrate the heartland of the Barbarian Race to cause trouble would find it extremely difficult to approach important locations. If they were to sneak in, they would be hunted down by the Barbarian Race once discovered.

"Yes! Two months ago, one of my cousins and some fellow cultivators were ordered to take down a small Barbarian Race. They were discovered as soon as they got close. The Barbarian Race raised many Spirit Insect Spirit Beast, which they kept on the outskirts to advance their cultivation. They were difficult to detect even with Divine Sense, making them impossible to defend against."

Chu Yanran said.

"If I calculate the time, in a few days we'll be fighting the Barbarian Race again. I don't even know if I'll come back alive."

Xia Yihu sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Xia is too pessimistic. The Barbarian Race aren't as powerful as you say."

Shen Long comforted him.

"That depends on which tribe's Barbarian Race cultivator you're facing. If it's a Barbarian Race cultivator from a small tribe, their strength is generally not very strong. If it's a Barbarian Race cultivator from a large tribe, their strength will be stronger."

Chu Yanran said.

Barbarian Race are divided into smaller tribes, much like how cultivation sects have affiliated cultivation Lineage. Cultivators from large sects are generally stronger, although there can be experts from smaller ones, though they are few in number.

More than an hour later, the banquet ended, and the cultivators returned to their respective homes.

Shen Long had just returned to the Spirit Control Garden when he was summoned by someone sent by Master Ice Silkworm.

"Disciple greets Master."

Shen Long bowed and said.

"How's it going? How's the job at the Heavenly Pill Palace going?"

Master Ice Silkworm Immortal asked in a gentle tone.

"Thanks to Master, I did quite well."

Shen Long said.

"You've been in Barbarian-Resisting City for a while now, how much do you know about the Barbarian Race cultivators?"

Master Ice Silkworm continued to ask.

Shen Long did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

"Master, in a few days, we'll be having another skirmish with the Barbarian Race cultivators?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

Master Ice Silkworm nodded and asked, "What? You want to join the war?"

"This disciple wants to spar with the Barbarian Race cultivators. Most of the time is spent refining pills, which is a bit tedious."

Shen Long said.

"Alright, then you can go and fight them when the time comes. Your master will be watching over you."

Master Ice Silkworm agreed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master."

Shen Long thanked him repeatedly, his face beaming with joy.

"By the way, I heard you've been getting quite close to a descendant of Fellow Daoist Bai lately. Do you like her?"

Master Ice Silkworm spoke up and asked.

"No, we're just ordinary friends."

Shen Long shook his head.

"If you like her, just tell your master, and your master can ask Fellow Daoist Bai for her hand in marriage."

Master Ice Silkworm said with a gentle expression.

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Shen Long agreed.

Master Ice Silkworm gave Shen Long a few words of advice and then dismissed him.

Back at his residence, Shen Long meditated to regulate his breathing.

Three days passed quickly. Early one morning, Shen Long left his residence and went to the city wall.

A loud roar of beasts rang out, and a large group of dark shadows appeared on the distant horizon, rushing rapidly towards Barbarian-Resisting City.

Shen Long's expression hardened as he looked into the distance.

A pack of giant wolves came into view, each carrying a Barbarian Race cultivator. Above them were giant eagles, each carrying a Barbarian Race cultivator.

A giant Cyan Giant Wolf and a Silver Thunder Eagle caught the eye; both were at the Third Rank. Gu Bing stood atop the Cyan Giant Wolf's head, his expression indifferent.

A burly man in a golden robe stood on the back of Silver Thunder Eagle, with a square face and large eyes.
