Encountering an Old Friend

The other party used High-Grade Medicinal Pill right away, so they're definitely not an ordinary person. They might even come from a powerful family. Right now, they're saying it's an apology, but if they say it's extortion later, they won't be able to explain themselves.

"This was my fault, Fellow Daoist Song, please accept it!"

Shen Long said nonchalantly.

He was testing the waters, hoping to quickly make a name for himself by taking advantage of these five Core Formation Cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is too kind. How about this: the corpse of this Third Rank -tier Blood Toad Beast is yours. If you don't accept it, I can't take your pills either."

Song He took out a Cyan Storage Bag, shook it with the opening facing down, and a cyan glow swept across, revealing a blood- Blood-Colored Toad Blood-Colored Toad on the ground with a huge blood hole in its head.

"Blood Toad Beast!"

Shen Long had heard of this kind of Demon Beast; it was extremely venomous, and the Iron Tail Scorpion would definitely like it.

"Alright! I'll take it."

Shen Long said, putting away the Blood Toad Beast's corpse.

"Then we won't bother you any longer, goodbye."

Song He clasped his hands in a fist and said.

They dismantled the Formation and left.

Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief. This time, it was a close call. The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada was only at the late stage of the second tier, and he had to find a way to cultivate it to the Third Rank.

He was lucky this time; he didn't encounter any bad guys. If they had, they could have used the Formation to deal with him, and he would have had a hard time escaping.

A series of thunderous roars resounded, and bolts of Lightning Tribulation struck down, accompanied by flashes of light and rolling shockwaves.

After the twenty-sixth Lightning Tribulation strike, the Thunder Cloud churned and transformed into a Silver Lightning Leopard wreathed in lightning, which swooped down from the sky at great speed.

The Silver Lightning Leopard crashed into the ground, causing it to tremble slightly. A huge ball of silver lightning shot into the sky, quite conspicuous.

After a while, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out from the silver lightning and landed in front of Shen Long.

It was covered in wounds and smelled of burning, having successfully advanced to the Third Rank.

Shen Long took out two 300-year-old Jade Ripple Grass and fed them to the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox. He then put the fox back into his Spirit Beast Bag, stomped his right foot, and transformed into a streak of Escape Light to leave.

He had just returned to the Marketplace when he saw a familiar figure. In a flash, he appeared before a graceful Green-Robed Maiden, smiling as he said, "Fairy Mu, it's been a long time."

The Green-Robed Maiden was none other than Mu Weiwei.

"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Shen."

Mu Weiwei was somewhat surprised to see Shen Long.

"Fairy Mu, would you mind if we spoke in private for a moment?"

Shen Long said with a smile.

"That's convenient. There's a Teahouse nearby. Let's go there and chat!"

Mu Weiwei said.

Shen Long nodded and followed Mu Weiwei into a Teahouse, where they requested a private room.

They chatted for a while, and then a Green-Shirted Attendant came in carrying Spirit Tea and spirit cakes, put them down, and left.

"Fairy Mu, have you gotten your hands on anything good?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"I've acquired two Third Rank Pill Formula; you might be interested."

Mu Weiwei took out a blue Jade Slip and handed it to Shen Long.

"The Void Origin Pill! The Green Civet Pill! I want them! Fairy Mu, name your price!"

Shen Long scanned the area with his divine sense and spoke.

The Dao of Alchemy North Sea Cultivation World is different from that of other places. The main ingredient is mostly Demon Core, after all, the North Sea Cultivation World is rich in Demon Beast resources.

The Void Origin Pill uses the Demon Core of Third Rank Void Origin Beast as its main ingredient. After taking it, one may appear to suffer a great loss of vital energy, but in reality, there is no major problem. This kind of pill can be considered a useless ingredient.

The Green Civet Pill uses the Demon Core of Third Rank Green Civet Beast as its main ingredient and has detoxifying effects.

"If Fellow Daoist Shen likes them, I'll give them to you; they're just two Pill Formula."

Mu Weiwei smiled gently.

"Fairy Mu, you cannot accept a reward without merit. Speak your mind!"

Shen Long said.

He didn't believe in free lunches falling from the sky and landing right on him.

"I would like to purchase some High-Grade Medicinal Pill from Fellow Daoist Shen, or other High-Grade Medicinal Pill with different effects."

Mu Weiwei said sincerely.

"I don't lack Spirit Stone! I want the Essence Blood of Third-Rank Flood Dragon, or Third-Order Spirit Flame, or even spirit medicine herbs and fruits that nourish the soul."

Shen Long said.

Mu Weiwei frowned. The items Shen Long mentioned were all very precious, and she simply couldn't afford them.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, these three items are too precious for me to offer. Can you exchange them for something else?"

Mu Weiwei said.

"Third Rank Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada's Demon Core and Spirit Rearing Fruit... Fairy Mu, you're not telling me this won't work, are you? It's not easy to buy High-Grade Medicinal Pill on the market."

Shen Long said meaningfully.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, give me some time, let me think of a solution."

Mu Weiwei said.

Shen Long nodded, took out a blue Jade Slip, handed it to Mu Weiwei, and said, "These are the materials I need to collect. If you can get these, selling you some High-Grade Medicinal Pill won't be a problem."

"Okay, I'll think of something. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."

Mu Weiwei agreed.

Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Mu Weiwei, saying, "I can sell you a Golden Ganoderma Pill as payment for the Pill Formula. Having High-Grade Medicinal Pill in hand should make it easier for you to negotiate business with others."

"Golden Ganoderma Pill! Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Mu Weiwei's face lit up with joy, and she thanked her.

Shen Long chatted with Mu Weiwei, and when the topic turned to the Outer Sea, Shen Long asked, "Fairy Mu, are there many Third-Rank Flood Dragon in the Outer Sea?"

"Indeed, there are many. Half a year ago, a Third Rank Fire Flood Dragon appeared in the Outer Sea and was subdued by True Person Ganlei."

Mu Weiwei said.

The strength of Third-Rank Flood Dragon is extraordinary. Many high-level cultivators consider it an honor to subdue a high-level Flood Dragon, which is also a recognition of their strength.

"True Person Ganlei! He's so powerful!"

Shen Long asked in surprise.

"True Person Ganlei Divine Ability and ranks fifty-second on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Fellow Daoist Shen, this is the ranking of the Hundred Flowers Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking, along with information on the listed cultivators. However, the lists are updated; when a cultivator on the list dies, the list is updated."

Mu Weiwei took out two Jade Slip and handed them to Shen Long.

Shen Long nodded and accepted the two Jade Slip slips.

After chatting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long took his leave.

Back at his residence, Shen Long entered a secret room and went into the Spirit Control Tower, arriving at the third floor.

He released the Iron Tail Scorpion, Iron Tail Scorpion emitted a joyful hiss.

Shen Long took out the Blood Toad Beast's corpse and said, "Take it and enjoy it!"

The Iron Tail Scorpion opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a beam of yellow light, enveloping the Blood Toad Beast's corpse. The Blood Toad Beast's corpse shrank at a visible speed and flew into the Iron Tail Scorpion's mouth.

The Blood Toad Beast, a mid-stage Third Rank beast, contained astonishing energy. The Iron Tail Scorpion, after devouring its corpse, became languid, as it was digesting the Blood Toad Beast's carcass.

Shen Long arrived at an open area and released the Golden-Winged Wind Peng, allowing it to roam freely there.

Shen Long exited the Spirit Control Tower and sat cross-legged on a Cyan Prayer Mat.

Being unfamiliar with the North Sea Cultivation World, he found it very difficult to find the follow-up Cultivation Method of the <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>.

He made a plan. First, he would make a name for himself, integrate into the North Sea Cultivation World, and make more Core Formation Cultivator. This was not difficult; he could do it using High-Grade Medicinal Pill.

It's better to wait until he becomes famous before asking others about the subsequent Cultivation Method.

In addition, he can take this opportunity to collect the cultivation resources he needs, achieving multiple benefits at once.

Shen Long closed his eyes to rest and meditated to regulate his breathing.

The previous chapter omitted two characters; it should have been two Core Formation Mid Stage, not two Core Formation cultivators. This has been corrected.
