Patrolling the Waters
After chatting for more than an hour, Qin Yunfeng sent someone to arrange accommodations for them and told them to go and rest.
"I didn't expect that the Third-Rank Flood Dragon would attract the Core Formation Cultivator of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. The Qin Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom, where the Spirit Control Sect is located, are more than twenty countries apart. Fellow Daoist Han and the others have all come here."
Qin Yunyan sighed.
"The East Hua Cultivation World is not the same North Sea Cultivation World Flood Dragon are relatively rare there. Moreover, three Third-Rank Flood Dragon have appeared this time. Flood Dragon are treasures from head to toe. Not to mention, subduing a Third-Rank Flood Dragon will be a great help in the future."
Qin Yunfeng said.
The Qin Family is the number one cultivation Lineage in the Jiang Kingdom, currently possessing a Nascent Soul Cultivator and boasting a long and distinguished lineage.
"Our Old Ancestor instructed us to treat these Core Formation Cultivator well. Whether we can kill the Third-Rank Flood Dragon is another matter, but befriending them will greatly benefit our Lineage's future development."
Qin Yunyan said.
Qin Yunfeng nodded and said, "To be honest, I don't want these three Third-Rank Flood Dragon to be killed so quickly. The later they are killed, the better for us."
A large number of Core Formation Cultivator rushed to the Jiang Kingdom to kill the Third-Rank Flood Dragon. Some merchants, hearing the news, also rushed to the Jiang Kingdom with a large amount of cultivation resources, which boosted the prosperity of the cultivation Immortal Realm in the Jiang Kingdom.
In some ways, the impact of this annihilation of the Third-Rank Flood Dragon is no less than that of holding a large-scale Auction.
"This is not something we can decide. Let's look at those three Third-Rank Flood Dragon!"
Qin Yunyan said.
A five-story, blue-green pavilion with the three large characters "Green Bamboo Pavilion" written on its plaque.
Green Bamboo Pavilion, Shen Long and his three companions were talking about something.
"Let's rest for a bit first, and then go out on patrol with the other fellow cultivators later to search for the whereabouts of the Third-Rank Flood Dragon -Third-Rank Flood Dragon. Hopefully, we can find it. We'll go in pairs, and not alone with other Core Formation Cultivator. You can't judge a book by its cover."
"That's what the True Man Red Flood Dragon said."
Shen Long and the other two had no objections and agreed.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long went into a room and activated the restrictions placed inside.
He patted a golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and more than 100,000 Gold-Eating Ant flew out, including the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen.
Upon closer inspection, one can spot some first-order Golden-Winged Fire Ant, which are all Ant Queen from the queen Golden-Winged Fire Ant.
The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen mutated from the Gold-Eating Ant Queen. After advancing to the Third Rank, Shen Long fed the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Golden Jade Raw Ore with Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen. Its offspring were all Golden-Winged Fire Ant, which also spewed Golden Flame and were much more powerful than ordinary Golden-Winged Fire Ant.
He took out a Golden Storage Bag, shook it with the opening facing down, and after a golden light swept across, a large pile of refining materials appeared on the ground.
The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen was gnawing on a piece of Golden Jade Raw Ore the size of a millstone, while the other Spirit Ant were eating other refining materials.
Before long, they had devoured all the crafting materials on the ground.
Shen Long put them back into his Spirit Beast Bag. He is now focusing on cultivating the Golden-Winged Fire Ant. He only needs to control the number of the Gold-Eating Ant. It is unrealistic to expect the other Gold-Eating Ant to mutate into Golden-Winged Fire Ant. He can only let the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen produce more Golden-Winged Fire Ant and slowly transform the entire colony into Golden-Winged Fire Ant.
The day passed quickly, and early the next morning, Shen Long and his three companions arrived at Qin Yunfeng's residence. Qin Yunfeng sat in the stone pavilion chatting with the three men and one woman.
"I am Mu Yan. I have long admired the name of the Spirit Control Sect. Surely you four fellow Daoists have a way to annihilate this Third-Rank Flood Dragon?"
A voluptuous woman in a red dress asked the question.
The woman in the red dress had striking features, fair skin, a beauty mark at the corner of her left eye, and a golden jade hairpin with a centipede pattern engraved on it.
"Judging from Madam Mu's attire, she must be from the Southern Border Cultivation World!"
"True Man Red Flood Dragon guessed.
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist is quite capable, able to recognize my background from my clothing."
Mu Yan praised.
"The weather in the Southern Border is hot, while the East Hua Cultivation World is like spring all year round. The cultivators in the two places dress differently, making them easy to distinguish. The style of the jade hairpin worn by Madam Mu is also unique to the Southern Border."
"That's what the True Man Red Flood Dragon explained."
"My name is Chen Han. Fellow Daoist, your observation skills are quite keen."
A burly, Curly-Bearded Man spoke in a loud voice.
Shen Long and his three companions introduced themselves, and the other two Core Formation Cultivator also introduced themselves, thus becoming acquainted.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Shen, Daoist Chen, and Madam Mu will form one team. Fellow Daoist Han, the four of you will form another team. You can rest for several months after each patrol. If you discover the whereabouts of Third-Rank Flood Dragon, report it immediately. Do not underestimate it; Third-Rank Flood Dragon is much more difficult to deal with than you imagine."
Qin Yunfeng said.
Shen Long and the others agreed, and Qin Yunfeng explained the patrol routes to them. The patrol routes were different for different teams.
After a short while, Qin Yunfeng said, "Just patrol along the route I've planned. The task isn't heavy. Since a large number of high-level cultivators are arriving in the Jiang Kingdom, please try to remain restrained and avoid conflicts with other Core Formation Cultivator. If there are any disputes, you can let us mediate. We will enforce the law impartially and will not show favoritism."
The influx of high-level cultivators from all over the country to the Jiang Kingdom has boosted Jiang Kingdom prosperity. However, this has also led to a mixed bag of cultivators in the Jiang Kingdom's cultivation Immortal Realm. In the short term, this is manageable, but over time, disputes inevitably arise among high-level cultivators, and some even resort to violence.
As the host family and the initiator of the Dragon Hunting Assembly, the Qin Family naturally had to step in to mediate.
"I will not offend others unless they offend me, Fellow Daoist Qin, please rest assured!"
Chen Han's voice was loud and clear.
"We don't provoke trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."
"It was a deep voice," said the True Man Red Flood Dragon Immortal.
Qin Yunfeng smiled and nodded; their answer was essentially the same as saying nothing at all.
After giving them a few instructions, Qin Yunfeng sent them on their patrol.
After leaving the Marketplace, Master Ice Silkworm summoned the Ice Moon Skiff and boarded it, with Shen Long following behind.
Mu Yan released a crimson Fire Crow with two heads. Judging from its aura, it was a mid-stage Third Rank- tier Two-Headed Fire Crow.
She walked onto the back of the Two-Headed Fire Crow, and Chen Han followed.
"Walk!"
With a soft shout, Mu Yan's Two-Headed Fire Crow flapped its wings, creating a gust of hot wind, and flew into the sky.
"It's always good to be cautious; be careful."
Master Ice Silkworm transmitted a message to Shen Long.
"Understood, Master."
Shen Long replied telepathically.
Master Ice Silkworm nodded, made a hand seal, and the Ice Moon Skiff emitted a blinding white light as he followed.
According to the plan, this patrol will take about half a month, mainly to inspect the situation in multiple waters and see if the Third-Rank Flood Dragon is hiding in a certain water.
They patrolled along a tributary of the Green Dragon River, and found nothing unusual along the way; the water was calm and still.
Shen Long dared not be careless. He opened his Divine Sense wide and scanned the riverbed, but found no Third-Rank Flood Dragon.
After seven days of inspection, they became familiar with the place. Mu Yan and Chen Han asked them for advice on insect control and beast taming techniques, and Master Ice Silkworm and Shen Long were willing to offer some guidance.
