Fellow Disciples Come Calling
This piece of Qingxu Crystal, when refined into a defensive Law Treasure, can enhance its defense. Even if it were sold, it could fetch tens of thousands of Spirit Stone.
Shen Long put away these things, eliminated his enemies, and planned to go to the North Sea Cultivation World to find further Cultivation Method. In addition, he also wanted to find elixirs to nourish the soul and cure the Ice Flood Dragon.
He took out a red Communication Disk, cast a spell, and said, "Nephew Qian, have you found spirit medicine or fruits to nourish the soul?"
"Not yet, Uncle-Master Shen."
Qian Dafu answered honestly, then, remembering something, added, "Oh, right, Uncle-Master Shen, Aunt Li wants to see you; she'd like you to refine some pills."
"Master Li? Which one?"
Shen Long asked.
There are five female Core Formation cultivators surnamed Li in the Spirit Control Sect, but he really doesn't know who they are.
"Li Rongrong! She wants to ask Uncle-Master Shen to refine a high-grade Beast Rearing Pill."
Qian Dafu said.
"Oh, it's Senior Sister Li. No problem, have her come to Golden Roc Peak! I happen to be free."
Shen Long suddenly realized that Li Rongrong was one of the Nine Heroes of Spirit Control, who cultivated the <Flying Butterfly Scripture> and chose the Five-Colored Jade Butterfly as her Life Spirit Insect, making her extremely powerful.
"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen, I will contact Aunt Li immediately."
Qian Dafu agreed.
Shen Long then contacted Liu Yuruo to inquire about Xu Yuyan and Chen Chi.
"Uncle-Master Shen, they went into seclusion to cultivate after the Golden Core Realm, and we don't know where they are right now."
Liu Yuruo said.
"If they appear in public, you can find out, right? Just record the area where they are active; you don't need to follow them personally, that's too dangerous."
Shen Long gave instructions.
Once we know Xu Yuyan and Chen Chi's activity range, they'll be much easier to deal with.
"Yes, disciple understands."
Liu Yuruo agreed.
Shen Long gave a few instructions, cut off the contact, and went outside to sit down in a Cyan Stone Pavilion.
Lin Shan walked over, took out tea leaves and a teapot to brew tea, and reported the situation of Golden Roc Peak to Shen Long. Golden Roc Peak has Spirit Herb Garden, Spirit Fruit Garden and Spirit Lake. They grow spirit medicine herbs, spirit fruits and Spirit Wood, and also raise Spirit Fish. Lin Shan is in charge of this, and he hires people to do it, which can generate a lot of profit.
Shen Long inquired about the Qin Kingdom Cultivation World and the situation at Lin Shan, to which Lin Shan answered truthfully.
"You're getting married! Congratulations! This Top-Grade Dharma Artifact is a gift for you."
Shen Long took out a Golden Jade Ruler and handed it to Lin Shan.
"Thank you, Uncle-Master Shen."
Lin Shan thanked him and accepted the Golden Jade Ruler with both hands.
A short while later, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.
Shen Long cast a spell, Sound Transmission Talisman ignited, sending out a melodious female voice. "Junior Brother Shen, I've long heard of your great name, so I've come here specifically to pay you a visit."
"Lin Shan, Senior Sister Li has arrived. Go and invite Senior Sister Li in."
Shen Long gave the order.
Lin Shan acknowledged the order and left.
Not long after, Lin Shan returned with a voluptuous Blue-Skirted Matron.
The Blue-Skirted Matron had an oval face, bright eyes, and skin as white as snow. Her dress was embroidered with butterfly patterns.
"I have long admired Senior Sister Li's reputation. I should have paid her a visit. Please have a seat, Senior Sister Li."
Shen Long stood up, gestured for Li Rongrong to sit down, and picked up the teapot to pour Li Rongrong some tea.
After a few cups of tea, the conversation flowed freely.
Li Rongrong took out a Cyan Jade Box and a golden jade box, and said, "I accidentally obtained two Inner Core of Tier 3 Early-Stage Twin-Tail Spirit Fox and a six-hundred-year-old Soul Nourishing Grass. If Junior Brother Shen doesn't mind, please accept them! It would be a waste for me to keep them."
"Soul Nourishing Grass!"
Shen Long's face lit up with joy. He opened the golden jade box, inside which was a small black plant with five leaves, each leaf being prismatic in shape.
As far as he knew, the Soul Nourishing Grass usually grew in places with heavy Yin Qi energy, places where Ghost Creature were easily born.
"I heard from Junior Nephew Qian that Senior Sister Li wants my help to refine a high-grade Beast Rearing Pill?"
Shen Long said.
"That's right, I only have one set of materials: ten high-grade Beast Rearing Pill. Is that alright?"
Li Rongrong took out a Blue Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long scanned the area with his divine sense, nodded, and said, "No problem, leave it to me."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Shen."
Li Rongrong quickly expressed her gratitude.
Lin Shan walked in and reported, "Uncle-Master Shen, Uncle Wu is here to visit. What do you think?"
"Senior Brother Wu? Please come in."
Shen Long gave the order.
Lin Shan acknowledged the order and left.
Soon, a Golden Escape Light flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.
The Escape Light, revealing a burly man in a golden robe, exuding a Sha Qi aura.
Wu Hu, the True Person Thunder Eagle, is one of the Nine Heroes of Spirit Control, Life-Bound Spirit Beast is Thunder Eagle.
"Oh, Junior Sister Li is here too."
Wu Hu saw Li Rongrong and let out a soft "hmm".
"I've long admired Senior Brother Wu's reputation. Please, Senior Brother Wu, have a seat."
Shen Long smiled slightly and gestured for Wu Hu to sit down.
Wu Hu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down. He took out a Cyan Storage Bag, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "I would like to ask Junior Brother Shen to help me refine a batch of Heavenly Ape Pill. I need High-Grade Medicinal Pill. I only have one set of materials: three early-stage Third Rank Twin-Tail Scorpion Demon Core and three 500-year-old Green Wind Grass as payment. How about it?"
Shen Long scanned it with his divine sense, nodded, and said, "No problem. I'll send someone to deliver it to Senior Brother Wu as soon as it's ready."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Shen. I heard from Senior Brother Han that Junior Brother Shen cultivate the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique. How about we have a friendly spar?"
Wu Hu was filled with fighting spirit.
"Senior Brother Wu! You are in the Core Formation Mid Stage, while Junior Brother Shen is only in the early stage. Isn't this sparring unfair?"
Li Rongrong frowned and said.
"We'll only test our strength. I want to see the difference between our sect's Heavenly Ape Transformation and Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique. I can't beat Senior Brother Han, so I want to compete with Junior Brother Shen."
Wu Hu's face was full of anticipation.
"Just relying on brute force? No problem."
Shen Long agreed.
They arrived at the foot of Golden Roc Peak, Li Rongrong watched from the side.
Wu Hu's body radiated a dazzling golden light, his bones cracked and popped, and his size increased considerably as he slammed his right fist toward Shen Long.
Shen Long was not afraid at all. He swung his right fist to meet Wu Hu's right fist.
With a muffled thud, Shen Long remained motionless, while Wu Hu took a step back.
Wu Hu frowned and said, "It seems that in terms of sheer strength, the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique is indeed stronger than the Heavenly Ape Transformation."
"Such comparisons are not very meaningful. Factors such as treasures, elixirs for body tempering, Secret Talisman, and Life-Bound Spirit Beast should not be underestimated."
Shen Long said modestly.
"In terms of physical strength alone, the Flood Dragon ranks among the top three among all the Demon Beast. This is not surprising. The <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique> is incomplete, and to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, one needs the Essence Blood of a fourth-tier Flood Dragon to refine the Blood Flood Dragon Pill to assist in cultivation, making it even more difficult. A fourth-tier Flood Dragon is also much harder to kill."
Li Rongrong said.
Wu Hu nodded and said, "No matter what, a loss is a loss. I won't bother Junior Brother Shen any longer."
After saying this, Wu Hu took his leave.
Li Rongrong also took her leave. Shen Long returned to Golden Roc Garden, entered a secret room, took out the Crimson Crow Cauldron and alchemy materials, and began to refine pills.
