Life-Bound Spirit Bird Advances
Two years passed quickly. In Green Gourd Marketplace, Shen Long strolled along the streets, looking around.
They have been in the Jiang Kingdom for more than five years. The three demonic dragons appeared once and then disappeared without a trace. They have not been found to have appeared in other countries, otherwise the majority of Core Formation Cultivator would have left.
Master Ice Silkworm, at the invitation of a friend, went with True Man Red Flood Dragon to a neighboring country to attend Auction, where they would find the cultivation resources they needed.
Encountering Third-Rank Flood Dragon is purely a matter of probability, and some Core Formation Cultivator lost patience and left the Jiang Kingdom.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time."
A pleasant female voice reached Shen Long's ears.
Shen Long looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mu Weiwei walking towards him.
Decades ago, Shen Long met Mu Weiwei in Barbarian-Resisting City, and the two made a deal.
After many years, Mu Weiwei has advanced to the Golden Core Realm.
"Fairy Mu, it's been a long time! What brings you here?"
Shen Long asked curiously.
"I heard that Third-Rank Flood Dragon has appeared in the Jiang Kingdom, so I came here. Would it be convenient for us to talk in private? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Mu Weiwei said politely.
Shen Long nodded and followed Mu Weiwei to a Teahouse, where they requested a private room.
"I heard of Fellow Daoist Shen's great name as soon as I arrived in Green Gourd Marketplace. Fellow Daoist Shen, you've already refined High-Grade Medicinal Pill at such a young age, not bad!"
Mu Weiwei praised.
"Fairy Mu, let's get down to business! You didn't come here just for idle chatter, did you?"
Shen Long said.
"To be honest, I'd like to buy some healing pills from Fellow Daoist Shen, specifically High-Grade Medicinal Pill."
Mu Weiwei's tone was sincere.
"I have top-grade healing pills, but that depends on what you offer in exchange."
Shen Long said with a smile.
Mu Weiwei has traveled all over the country, so she must have a lot of good things.
After a moment's thought, Mu Weiwei took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle, uncorked it, and a surge of pure Spiritual Qi burst forth.
"There are two drops of Millennium Spirit Milk inside. Core Formation Cultivator takes it, their Law Power will be instantly restored without any side effects."
Mu Weiwei said.
"Millennium Spirit Milk! Only two drops?"
Shen Long asked in surprise.
There are high-level pills available on the market that restore Law Power, but they only speed up the recovery process; they cannot restore Law Power instantly.
"Two drops is already quite good. I spent a lot of money to get these; the other party brought them from the Spirit-Severing Sea of North Sea Cultivation World."
Mu Weiwei explained.
"The Spirit-Severing Sea!"
Shen Long suddenly realized.
The Gan Yang Realm has Seven Great Forbidden Lands, one of which is the Spirit-Severing Sea. The East Hua Cultivation World has two perilous places: the Immortal Burial Mound and the Ten Thousand Fire Valley.
"Only two drops? I'm at a huge disadvantage. This isn't Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk."
Shen Long said.
Mu Weiwei took out two exquisite Golden Jade Box, opened the lids, and each box contained a three-colored lotus flower.
"Two 700-year-old Three-Colored Mist Lotus, a favorite of poisonous insects and beasts."
Mu Weiwei said.
Shen Long took out a Golden Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Mu Weiwei, saying, "This is the Golden Ganoderma Pill! It has a very good healing effect."
Mu Weiwei uncorked the bottle and poured out ten Golden Medicinal Pill, each with nine Golden Medicinal Pill Pattern.
She held it to her nose, sniffed it lightly, and then happily accepted it.
"Fairy Mu, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Shen Long stood up to take his leave.
Mu Weiwei didn't mind and got up to see him off.
After leaving the Teahouse, Shen Long headed straight for the outside of the Marketplace.
After leaving the Marketplace, Shen Long transformed into a streak of Escape Light and disappeared into the sky.
Half an hour later, Shen Long arrived above a Cyan Bamboo Forest. He patted a Cyan Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and Golden-Winged Wind Peng flew out and landed on the ground.
It successively consumed the Inner Core of three Third Rank Green Wind Peng and three high-grade Beast Rearing Pill, and was finally about to break through to the Third Rank.
Shen Long retreated, standing Dharma Protector at a distance.
The Golden-Winged Wind Peng spread its wings, circled once in the sky, and then let out a sharp, piercing cry. A thunderous roar echoed through the sky, and dark clouds gathered. A huge Thunder Cloud appeared without warning above the bamboo forest.
The Golden-Winged Wind Peng landed on the ground, a thunderous sound rang out, and a thick silver lightning bolt ripped through the sky, striking the Golden-Winged Wind Peng.
With a gentle flap of its wings, a Cyan Hurricane swept out, only to be shattered by silver lightning. The silver lightning struck its body, engulfing it in its light.
A deafening roar of thunder resounded, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thick streaks of silver lightning striking the ground.
Shen Long watched from a distance, his expression grave.
When the twenty-sixth Lightning Tribulation struck, the Thunder Cloud churned and surged, producing blue and red arcs of electricity, transforming into two-colored Thunder Cloud.
"Two-Colored Divine Lightning!"
Shen Long asked in surprise.
Spirit Beast Spirit Bird rarely attract special Lightning Tribulation when they break through to the Third Rank, but the Golden-Winged Wind Peng unexpectedly attracted a Two-Colored Divine Lightning.
The two-colored Thunder Cloud churned and surged, transforming into a massive two-colored Thunder Eagle, its entire body enveloped in countless arcs of two-colored electricity, as it swooped down from the sky.
Just as the two-colored Thunder Eagle approached within fifty feet of the ground, a massive Cyan Tornado swept out, only to be shattered by the two-colored Thunder Eagle. Hundreds of Giant Wind Blade shot out, striking the two-colored Thunder Eagle one after another.
The two-colored Thunder Eagle's body exploded, turning into a huge ball of two-colored lightning that engulfed the Golden-Winged Wind Peng's figure. The powerful shockwave blew away a large number of green bamboos, which turned into countless wood chips before they even hit the ground, creating billowing dust.
After a while, a sharp bird cry came from within the lightning.
A gust of wind blew by, and the Golden-Winged Wind Peng appeared in front of Shen Long. Its body was charred black, emitting a burnt smell and exuding an astonishing spiritual pressure.
"You've advanced to the Third Rank, not bad."
Shen Long was overjoyed; he could feel a surge of Law Power flowing into his Dantian.
With the Golden-Winged Wind Peng advancing to the Third Rank, he saved decades of arduous cultivation. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been in the Golden Core Realm for so long, he probably would have directly advanced to the Core Formation Mid Stage.
He fed the Golden-Winged Wind Peng a 500-year-old Green Wind Grass, put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag, and returned to the Marketplace.
He had just returned to his residence when the Master Golden Toad approached him.
"Senior Brother Chu, haven't Master and Senior Brother Han returned yet?"
Shen Long asked casually.
"Not yet, something might have delayed them! Don't worry, they're quite strong, there won't be any problems."
"That's what the Master Golden Toad said."
Shen Long nodded, chatted for a few minutes, and then went to the Alchemy Room.
Shen Long patted the golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and hundreds of thousands of Golden-Winged Fire Ant flew out and floated in mid-air.
Under his vigorous cultivation, the number of Golden-Winged Fire Ant has reached hundreds of thousands, most of them being first-tier.
Shen Long fed them some refining materials and then put them back into his Spirit Beast Bag.
He released the Golden-Winged Wind Peng and used the Demon-Testing Mirror to examine it. To his surprise, he discovered that the Golden-Winged Wind Peng's Bloodline Purity had reached level four.
Not all Spirit Beast Spirit Bird Spirit Insect will increase their Bloodline Purity when they advance to a higher realm. The higher the rank, the more difficult it is to increase the Bloodline Purity.
The Spirit Control Sect once raised Black Phoenix as guardian spirit Spirit Bird. The Bloodline Purity of a fourth-tier Black Phoenix reached five, which is extremely rare in the history of the Spirit Control Sect. Most fourth-tier Spirit Bird only have Bloodline Purity of three, with the better ones reaching four.
Shen Long fed it a high-grade Beast Rearing Pill, then entered the Spirit Control Tower, allowing the Golden-Winged Wind Peng to roam freely on the third floor.
He exited the Spirit Control Tower, took out the Crimson Crow Cauldron and alchemy materials, and began refining pills.
Before long, the room was filled with a strong medicinal aroma.
