Ganyang Immortal Couple

A day passed quickly, and early the next morning, Fairy Ice Flood Dragon arrived at the Ice Silkworm Pavilion, accompanied by two Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Shen, we've hosted a gathering. All attendees are Core Formation Cultivator. As for young friend Chen, I, Lin, will take good care of her."

"Fairy Ice Flood Dragon said with a smile."

"Then I'll have to trouble Madam Wang."

"Master Ice Silkworm said."

They left with the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon, and Chen Bing left with Wang Yilin.

Arriving at the entrance of a sprawling manor, Shen Long looked up and saw the three large characters "Red Plum Garden" written on the plaque.

They followed the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon inside and entered the Red Plum Garden.

A lush green garden comes into view, with peonies, roses, forsythia, crabapple, daffodils and other flowers vying for attention in a riot of colors.

After passing through three arched courtyards, they arrived at a secluded courtyard. Inside the courtyard was a hexagonal Cyan Stone Pavilion, where more than twenty Core Formation Cultivator sat, sipping tea and chatting.

The leader was a handsome man in a blue robe, whose aura was as vast as the ocean, and who possessed the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage.

The man in the blue robe was tall and had a white jade belt around his waist, looking every bit the elegant young gentleman.

Ye Hongyao sat to the left of the man in the blue robe, while a young man of medium build in a gold robe sat to the right.

The young man in the golden robe had fair skin and looked refined; three Spirit Beast Bag were tied around his waist.

"Let me introduce you both. These two are Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Shen from the Spirit Control Sect."

"That's what the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon explained."

Master Ice Silkworm and Shen Long introduced themselves.

"My name is Wang Yuesen. I greet Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Shen."

The young man in the blue robe clasped his hands in greeting, his tone gentle and approachable.

"Shangguan Yunjie greets both fellow Daoists."

"That's what the young man in the gold shirt said politely."

"This Ye Hongyao, greets you two fellow Daoists."

Ye Hongyao introduces herself.

"My name is Qi Mei, and I greet you two fellow Daoists."

A slender woman in a blue dress introduced herself.

"Is Madam Qi from the Southern Border Cultivation World? What is your relationship with True Monarch Haoyang?"

Master Ice Silkworm seemed to remember something and asked politely.

"I do indeed come from the Southern Border Cultivation World. True Monarch Haoyang is my great-great-grandfather. Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know my great-great-grandfather?"

Qi Mei said with a smile.

"I don't know him. I've been to the Southern Border Cultivation World and heard of Senior Qi's great name; he's one of the Three Immortals of the Southern Border."

"Master Ice Silkworm said."

The Three Immortals of the Southern Border are all rogue Rogue Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm stage, with True Monarch Haoyang being one of them.

The Five Immortals of Donghua are all rogue Rogue Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm. This does not mean that there are only five rogue Rogue Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm in the East Hua Cultivation World, but rather that these five Nascent Soul Cultivator are relatively strong. The same is true for the Three Immortals of the Southern Border.

"True Monarch Haoyang is one of the Three Immortals of the Southern Border; everyone knows him."

Ye Hongyao smiled gently, her face full of admiration.

Other Core Formation Cultivator introduced themselves, some were Rogue Cultivator, some came from cultivation Lineage, and some came from cultivation sects; they came from all over the country.

Shen Long was secretly surprised. The Wang Clan of Begonia Valley had such great influence that Core Formation Cultivator from all over the country came to attend Wang Tianhua's birthday celebration.

Master Ice Silkworm, Shen Long, and Fairy Ice Flood Dragon sat down to enjoy tea and discuss philosophy.

"Daoist Wang, weren't you saying that the fellow Daoists from the Five Flames Palace would also be coming? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Qi Mei asked curiously.

Just as Wang Yuesen was about to reply, a loud male voice rang out. "I'm a step late, I've kept you all waiting."

As soon as he finished speaking, a seven-foot-tall man in a blue shirt and a woman in a golden dress with a graceful figure walked in.

The man in the blue robe had regular features and a strong build, with bright and piercing eyes. The woman in the gold dress had exquisite features, with no makeup on her face, and bright eyes and white teeth. Both of them had the Core Formation Late Stage.

"Ganyang Immortal Couple! You've come in person to celebrate Senior Wang's birthday!"

Qi Mei recognized the two men.

"Do you know us?"

"I asked curiously."

"I am Qi Mei. In my early years, I followed my great-grandfather to the North Sea Cultivation World. I heard about the deeds of the two fellow Daoists. I heard that both of you possessed a ball of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, which you cultivated to the Third Rank. You once fought two against five enemies and wiped them all out."

Qi Mei spoke slowly.

"Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire! Two against five, annihilate the enemy!"

The cultivators present were in an uproar, but Wang Yuesen and the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon showed no unusual reaction, clearly indicating that they knew about the deeds of the Ganyang Immortal Couple.

"My name is Song Ming, and this is my wife Han Yue."

The man in the blue shirt introduced himself.

"Fellow Daoist Song, Madam Han, please try the Spirit Tea brought by Madam Qi. This is the Golden Flame Tea, unique to the Southern Border Cultivation World."

Wang Yuesen invited them to sit down and poured tea for Shen Long and the other four.

The tea was golden in color and emitted a faint sulfurous smell.

Shen Long picked up his teacup, took a sip, and as the tea went down his throat, he felt a surge of heat burning in his abdomen, and his body became slightly warm.

He felt as if he were standing on Volcano, his skin slightly red, as if his whole body was about to burst into flames.

Shen Long quickly circulated his internal energy and returned to normal. Immediately afterwards, a cool sensation spread throughout his body. He could clearly feel a surge of pure Law Power flowing into his Dantian and converging towards the golden Dantian within it.

"Not bad, good tea, but unfortunately it's not very useful to us. It's more effective for cultivators in the early stages of Core Formation."

Song Ming said.

Shen Long's face lit up with joy. This sip of Spirit Tea was equivalent to half a month of his arduous cultivation; the effect was truly remarkable.

"Golden Flame Tea, not bad, good tea."

Shen Long praised it and took another sip.

"The Golden Flame Tea has an extremely long growth cycle, taking five hundred years to harvest once a year, yielding dozens of kilograms of tea leaves each time. It is very suitable for cultivators in the early stages of Core Formation."

Qi Mei said with a smile.

The cultivators wholeheartedly agreed and began chatting, their conversation turning to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.

"Fellow Daoist Song, Madam Song, we've heard that you both possess Third-Rank Spirit Fire. Could you perhaps show them to us and broaden our horizons?"

Qi Mei said.

Song Ming frowned, his face showing displeasure.

"Madam Qi is a descendant of True Monarch Haoyang and also possesses a wisp of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. She probably wants to ask Fellow Daoist Song for advice on cultivating Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire."

Wang Yuesen explained.

Hearing this, Song Ming's expression softened, and he said, "We do indeed possess Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, but there's nothing particularly impressive about it, so we won't embarrass ourselves by showing it off. However, I can share some of our insights on cultivating Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire with Madam Qi."

He explained in detail his experience in cultivating the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. He said that if the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire wants to advance, it is best to devour higher-level Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire to strengthen itself. In addition, it can also devour beast flames.

"To allow the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire to devour the beast fire and advance in rank? That's quite rare."

Qi Mei said.

"Not just any kind of Demon Beast beast's fire will do. It's best to use the fire of a powerful Fire Element Demon Beast beast, such as the Fire Phoenix, Golden Crow, Fire Qilin, or Vermilion Bird. Of course, these Demon Beast are nowhere to be seen in the Gan Yang Realm, but their descendants can be found. It's very difficult to advance by devouring beast fire; it's much faster to advance by devouring the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire."

Song Ming explained.

"Yes! One of our fellow disciples raises a Fire Qilin Beast, which possesses the bloodline of the Fire Qilin. He has a second-tier Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, which he makes the Fire Qilin Beast spew out demonic fire for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire to devour. It has been a hundred years, but the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire has still not advanced to the Third Rank."

Han Yue said.

"It seems that the Bloodline Purity and rank of his Fire Qilin Beast are not high, and the beast fire it spews out is not particularly powerful."

"Master Ice Silkworm said."

"This fellow Daoist is right. The Bloodline Purity of that Fire Qilin Beast is only level two. Even after cultivating it to the Third Rank, the Bloodline Purity has not been able to increase further."

Han Yue sighed.

"This is Fellow Daoist Lin from the Spirit Control Sect. He is proficient in insect control and beast taming techniques. When it comes to beast taming, he is an expert."

"That's what the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon explained."

"Spirit Control Sect! I have long admired your name."

Han Yue smiled slightly.

The group chatted casually, discussing cultivation experiences, methods to overcome bottlenecks, insect and beast control, alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and array formation.

"By the way, Fairy Ye is a descendant of Senior Ye, so she should be able to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill, right?"

Shangguan Yunjie asked.

"It's just High-Grade Medicinal Pill. If you could refine Supreme Pill, that would be truly impressive."

Ye Hongyao said this with a face full of pride.

There are many Third Rank Alchemist in the East Hua Cultivation World, but not many Third Rank Alchemist can refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill; most of them are in Medicine King Valley.

"Your Medicine King Valley is skilled in alchemy. With Fairy Ye's abilities, if she had a Third Rank Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, she might be able to refine Supreme Pill."

Wang Yuesen said.

"Daoist Wang, you flatter me. Even with a fourth-order Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, my great-grandfather could hardly refine Supreme Pill. Looking at the entire Gan Yang Realm, I have not heard of anyone who can refine Supreme Pill."

Ye Hongyao said.

"That's true. It's already quite good to be able to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill. Refining Supreme Pill is much more difficult."

Han Yue said.

"I've heard that a Shennong Physique appeared in the Han family of Golden Gourd Island in the North Sea Cultivation World, and was able to refine Supreme Pill."

Shen Long said.

"It is true, but it happened a long time ago. The Han family still exists, but they are not as powerful as before. Anyway, I have never heard of any Alchemist in the Gan Yang Realm who can refine Supreme Pill."

Song Ming said, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Master Ice Silkworm and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, is there any way to improve the Bloodline Purity of Spirit Beast's bloodline?"

"There are many methods, but they are not guaranteed to be 100% successful. As you all know, it is very difficult to improve the purity of Spirit Beast's Bloodline Purity. Most sects' Guardian Spirit Beast or clan guardian Spirit Beast have a Bloodline Purity of only three. Spirit Beast with Bloodline Purity of four are very rare, it is no exaggeration to say that they are one in ten thousand. As for five, it is legendary. In the history of the Gan Yang Realm, there are only a handful of Demon Beast with Bloodline Purity of five."

"Master Ice Silkworm said."

In the cultivation Immortal Realm, most Third-Rank Spirit Beast have Bloodline Purity of two, with very few having three. There are also quite a few Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast with Bloodline Purity of two.

"Yes! I heard that the True Monarch Golden Crow, the leader of the Five Immortals of Donghua, has a Golden-Eyed Golden Crow Bloodline Purity of three, and he is already very strong. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the strength of those Spirit Beast with Bloodline Purity of four must be."

The Fairy Ice Flood Dragon wholeheartedly agreed.

Shen Long remained calm. If they knew that the Bloodline Purity of Shen Long's Life-Bound Spirit Bird, the Golden-Winged Wind Peng, had reached level three, I wonder what they would think.

"By the way, Daoist Wang, I heard that you have connections with the Zhou Clan of the Western Desert Cultivation World. Didn't the Zhou Clan send anyone over for Senior Wang's birthday celebration?"

Shangguan Yunjie asked curiously.

"We invited the Zhou Clan, but they haven't arrived yet; they're probably on their way."

Wang Yuesen explained.

After chatting for more than an hour, Wang Yuesen proposed exchanging cultivation resources, which the cultivators wholeheartedly agreed to.

There were more than thirty Core Formation Cultivator present, from all over the country.

As the host, Wang Yuesen was the first to exchange items, bringing out dozens of materials, including spirit medicine, ores, Spirit Wood, Demon Core, and Monster Beast Material.

Shen Long glanced around and found quite a few things that interested him. He didn't have much to offer in exchange, so he decided to save it for trading for necessities.

Wang Yuesen had already exchanged most of what he brought out, making a good start. One by one, everyone took out their materials and announced what they wanted to exchange.

Shangguan Yunjie took out dozens of materials, including two Demon Core of Third Rank Golden-Winged Fire Ant. Shen Long took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle, handed it to Shangguan Yunjie, and said, "Shangguan Daoist Shangguan, how about I exchange a bottle of Beast Rearing Pill for these two Demon Core?"

The Beast Rearing Pill is Third Rank pill. When Third Rank Spirit Beast Spirit Insect takes it, it can increase the chance of advancing to the next tier. This is one of the three Third Rank pills that Shen Long can currently refine, and it is also a unique spirit medicine of the Spirit Control Sect.

"Beast Rearing Pill!"

Shangguan Yunjie took the Cyan Porcelain Bottle, examined it carefully, and confirmed that it contained the Beast Rearing Pill. He nodded in satisfaction and agreed to the exchange.

After Shangguan Yunjie finished exchanging items, it was Ye Hongyao's turn.

Ye Hongyao took out pills, refining materials, Monster Beast Material, Spirit Wood, and other items, with pills being the most plentiful, as she wanted to exchange them for spirit medicine.

About fifteen minutes later, Song Ming stood up and took out dozens of materials, among which two Cyan Jade Box caught Qi Mei's attention.

"Fellow Daoist Song, what's in these two jade boxes?"

Qi Mei asked curiously.

"The Inner Core of a mid- Third Rank Green-Eyed Cold Silkworm and a early- Third Rank Fire Qilin Beast."

Song Ming explained.

Master Ice Silkworm exchanged the Inner Core of the Green-Eyed Cold Silkworm, while Shen Long exchanged two Blood Extraction Fruit for the Inner Core of the Fire Qilin Beast.

When it was Master Ice Silkworm's turn, he took out a lot of strange Insect Eggs and exchanged most of them.

Shen Long took out some five-hundred-year-old spirit medicine, hoping to exchange them for the main ingredient for refining the Beast Rearing Pill, but he was unsuccessful and didn't care.

The exchange ended about half an hour later.

The cultivators continued chatting until it got dark, at which point the meeting adjourned and everyone went home.

Back at the Ice Silkworm Pavilion, Shen Long chatted with Master Ice Silkworm for a few moments before returning to his room.

He released the Gold-Eating Ant Queen, took out a Cyan Jade Box, opened it, and found two golden-red spheres inside. These were the Inner Core of early-stage Third Rank Golden-Winged Fire Ant.

The Gold-Eating Ant Queen is currently in the late stage of Tier 2 and can consider attempting to reach Third Rank.

He fed one Inner Core to the Gold-Eating Ant Queen gave her a Beast Rearing Pill.

After consuming the Inner Core and the Beast Rearing Pill, the Gold-Eating Ant Queen became drowsy.

Shen Long put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag. With just the inner core of a Third Rank Golden-Winged Fire Ant Inner Core a Beast Rearing Pill, the Gold-Eating Ant Queen naturally couldn't advance to the Third Rank.

Shen Long knew perfectly well what was going on. He fed each of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox, the Iron Tail Scorpion, the Fire Rock Beast, the Spirit-Tracking Beast, and the Golden-Winged Wind Peng a top-grade Beast Spirit Pill and two hundred-year-old spirit medicine.

He had just entered the Golden Core Realm, and didn't have Life-Bound Dharma Treasure, nor any Third Rank Spirit Beast Spirit Bird, Spirit Insect. His strength was not great, so he wasn't considering revenge for the time being.

He wasn't in a hurry; his immediate priority was to obtain the Essence Blood of Third-Rank Flood Dragon.
