Golden-Winged Wind Peng Falls Asleep
Three days later, Shen Long took out a Communication Disk that was flashing red light, entered a spell, and a melodious female voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what you requested has arrived."
"Okay, I'll come get it right away."
Shen Long said, put away the Communication Disk, got up and walked out.
After a short while, Shen Long appeared at the entrance of a nine-story Cyan Pavilion. The signboard bore the three large golden characters "Green Gourd Pavilion" (Green Gourd Pavilion). This was a shop owned by the Qin Family, with a wide range of businesses.
As soon as Shen Long entered the Green Gourd Pavilion, a Green-Shirted Attendant hurried over and said warmly, "Senior Shen, Ancestor Yun Qian has been waiting for a long time. Please come upstairs."
The Green-Shirted Attendant personally led the way, and Shen Long followed.
Upon arriving on the seventh floor, Shen Long encountered a woman in a golden dress with exquisite features. She was sitting at a beautiful rosewood tea table, reviewing account books.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you've arrived. Please have a seat."
Qin Yunqian put down the account book and gestured for Shen Long to sit down.
"Madam Qin, where is what I asked for?"
Shen Long asked.
Qin Yunqian took out an exquisite golden jade box and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long opened it and found three cyan Demon Core inside.
"This is the Demon Core of Third Rank early-stage Green Wind Peng. I finally managed to get my hands on it after a lot of trouble."
Qin Yunqian said with a smile.
Shen Long nodded, took out three Golden Porcelain Bottle, and handed them to Qin Yunqian.
He reserved the Demon Core of Third Rank Green Wind Peng, intending to exchange it for High-Grade Medicinal Pill.
After carefully inspecting the pills and confirming that everything was correct, Qin Yunqian's face lit up with joy. She said, "Excellent! Fellow Daoist Shen's High-Grade Medicinal Pill are of impeccable quality. May I ask if Fellow Daoist Shen needs anything else?"
"It's not needed for now. I'll contact Madam Qin if necessary."
Shen Long stood up to take his leave.
Qin Yunqian rose to see him off, personally escorting Shen Long away from the Green Gourd Pavilion.
The Qin Family has dozens of Core Formation Cultivator, but none of them are Third Rank Alchemist capable of refining High-Grade Medicinal Pill. This is why the Qin Family is only the number one cultivation Lineage in the Jiang Kingdom, not the number one power.
Shen Long strolled around the street, and as he passed a fork in the road, a portly old man in a green robe walked towards him.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time."
The old man in the green robe greeted Shen Long with a smile.
"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Lu! Congratulations on advancing to the Core Formation Late Stage!"
Shen Long offered his congratulations.
The old man in the green robe was named Lu Qingfeng. He had the cultivation level of the Core Formation Mid Stage realm and had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years. His patrol team was attacked by Third-Rank Flood Dragon, and he was one of the few survivors who unexpectedly broke through the bottleneck.
"It was just a lucky escape; I almost lost my life."
Lu Qingfeng said modestly.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long parted ways with Lu Qingfeng. He went to several large shops and bought a batch of Third Rank refining materials.
As dusk settled, the number of pedestrians on the streets increased rather than decreased. Merchants took out their lighting equipment, illuminating the entire Marketplace as if it were daytime. The streets were bustling with people, creating a lively atmosphere.
Shen Long arrived at a spacious Bluestone Square, where there were many stalls selling all sorts of things.
Shen Long walked around and looked at the goods on the stall, but did not buy anything.
Half an hour later, a golden Spirit Beast Bag at Shen Long's waist bulged slightly.
Shen Long stopped in front of a stall. The stall owner was a man in his early forties wearing a golden robe, with only the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
The stall displayed a wide variety of ores.
Shen Long squatted down and picked up pieces of ore from time to time to examine them.
"These ores are perfect for feeding the Spirit Ant. I'll take them all. Name your price."
Shen Long said.
It's no secret that he raises Spirit Ant and frequently buys metal ores.
"Since Senior Shen likes it so much, could you sell me some high-grade Beast Spirit Pill?"
The man in the gold shirt asked cautiously.
"Do you know me?"
Shen Long asked, puzzled.
"This junior has heard of Senior Shen's esteemed name."
The man in the gold shirt explained.
Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to the man in the golden robe.
The man in the golden robe opened the jade box and saw a high-grade Beast Spirit Pill inside. He was excited and thanked them repeatedly, while the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator cast envious glances at him.
Shen Long got up and left, continuing his stroll.
He made his way around, bought some spirit medicine that were two or three hundred years old, and returned to his residence, where he was greeted by the True Man Red Flood Dragon.
"Junior Brother Shen, you're back. I've obtained a Spirit Rearing Fruit. Could you help me refine a batch of high-grade Beast Rearing Pill? I need ten of them, and two of the inner cores of mid-stage Third Rank- tier Twin-Tail Scorpion Inner Core as payment."
True Man Red Flood Dragon took out a Red Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long agreed. With each attempt at alchemy, his success rate increased. After giving the True Man Red Flood Dragon ten Beast Rearing Pill, he still had quite a few left over.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Shen."
The True Man Red Flood Dragon expressed his gratitude.
Shen Long smiled calmly, chatted for a few words, and then walked into the Alchemy Room.
He slapped the golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and tens of thousands of Golden-Winged Fire Ant flew out and landed in front of him.
These Golden-Winged Fire Ant are all descendants of the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen. They have inherited the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen's characteristics and can all breathe Golden Flame.
Shen Long had conducted experiments showing that the demonic fire spewed by the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen could melt even Top-Grade Dharma Artifact. This was only at the early stage of the Third Rank; if the tier were higher, the demonic fire it spewed would definitely be even more powerful.
Shen Long took out a Cyan Storage Bag, turned it upside down, and shook it violently. A golden light flashed, and a large pile of refining materials appeared on the ground.
He picked up a piece of blue ore, put his five fingers together, and cracks appeared in the ore, splitting it in two. A piece of blue jade rolled out and landed on the ground.
"Cyan Marrow Jade!"
Shen Long recognized the material; it was Third Rank refining material, typically used to forge defensive magic Law Treasure. The Cyan Moon Pendant he wore was made from Cyan Marrow Jade.
He only bought these ores Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen warned him.
The Gold-Eating Ant Queen mutates into the Golden-Winged Fire Ant, which can not only hide in piles of rubble, but is also very sensitive to high-level refining materials and adept at discovering high-level metal veins.
After Shen Long fed the piece of Cyan Marrow Jade to the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen, the other Golden-Winged Fire Ant ate the second-tier refining materials.
Shen Long sold the Gold-Eating Ant and exchanged them for cultivation resources.
Golden-Winged Fire Ant can also condense into weapon form, making them even more powerful.
Before long, they finished eating the refining materials. The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen was not satisfied and gently flapped her wings.
Shen Long then took out two more pieces of Third Rank ore and fed them to the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen, which finally satisfied her.
Shen Long put them back into his Spirit Beast Bag, released the Golden-Winged Wind Peng, and fed it a Demon Core of a Third Rank early-stage Green Wind Peng Roc and five three-hundred-year-old Green Wind Grass. The Golden-Winged Wind Peng was still very energetic and ate another Demon Core of a Third Rank Green Wind Peng before becoming drowsy.
"It seems that Spirit Bird with Bloodline Purity require more cultivation resources."
Shen Long muttered to himself as he put the Golden-Winged Wind Peng back into his Spirit Beast Bag.
He took out the Crimson Crow Cauldron and the alchemy materials, sat quietly for half an hour, and began to refine the elixir.
He opened his mouth and spewed out the Red Lotus True Flame, which landed at the bottom of the Crimson Crow Cauldron. He then threw the Spirit Rearing Fruit and other materials into the cauldron one after another.
