The Moving Flower Palace

Time passed slowly, and darkness fell. The streets were brightly lit, and many shops hung strings of beads that emitted a soft white light at their entrances. These were Night Brilliance Pearl, a unique material from the North Sea Cultivation World, produced by the Ink Moon Clam.

The Ink Moon Clam is a low-level Demon Beast, entirely black in color, capable of producing Night Brilliance Pearl, which are typically used for illumination.

In addition, merchants would also embed the Night Brilliance Pearl into the walls to illuminate the shops, and the floor tiles were also mixed with Night Brilliance Pearl powder.

Some shops have a small blue cage hanging at their entrance, inside which is a small beast emitting a soft white light. This is Firefly Beast, a small and light-weight Spirit Beast that is also used for lighting.

Besides being used for observation, the Firefly Beast Firefly Beast can also be used for warning. It is skilled in stealth, and it is difficult for cultivators of the same level to detect its presence.

Shen Long left his residence and began to stroll around the streets.

Half an hour later, he appeared at the gate of a vast manor. The gilded plaque read "Purple Coral Garden," and two Foundation Establishment Cultivator could be seen guarding the entrance.

As soon as Shen Long appeared at the entrance of Purple Coral Garden, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator quickly walked over, bowed, and said, "Senior Shen, how long has Ancestor Chu Chu been waiting? Please follow me."

Shen Long nodded and followed the other person into the Purple Coral Garden, which featured a rockery garden, an arched bridge, and a fish pond.

Before long, he arrived at a Blue-tiled Courtyard. Inside the courtyard was a Cyan Stone Pavilion, where two men and two women were sitting, chatting and laughing. Han Chuchu was also inside.

"Fellow Daoist Han has arrived, please have a seat."

Han Chuchu said warmly, inviting Shen Long to sit down.

"This humble sister Han Chuxi, greets Fellow Daoist Shen."

A graceful Gold-Skirted Girl spoke up.

The Gold-Skirted Girl had jet-black hair, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like the moon, a slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, and a faint herbal scent emanating from her body.

"I have long admired the name of Fairy Chu, and seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."

Shen Long praised.

Han Chuxi is known as the Lotus Fairy by many cultivators and ranks twenty-fourth on the Hundred Flowers Ranking. She is proficient in alchemy and can refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill. She is a key member of the Han family that they are cultivating.

"Fellow Daoist Han flatters me; it's just an empty reputation."

Han Chuxi smiled slightly and said modestly.

"Neither of you need to be modest. There are many Core Formation Cultivator in the cultivation Immortal Realm, but there aren't many Third Rank Alchemist who can refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill."

A handsome Blue-Shirted Youth spoke up.

Jiang Zijian, Core Formation Mid Stage cultivator, comes from the Jiang Family, which is related to the Han family by marriage. With a Nascent Soul Cultivator in charge, the Jiang Family is very powerful.

"Who says otherwise! By the way, Fairy Chu, didn't you say that Fairy Dong from the Eighteen Beauties of Flower-Moving would also be participating? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

A young man of medium build, dressed in a blue robe, asked the question.

Jiang Ziqing, Core Formation Mid Stage.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you getting impatient waiting a little longer?"

A mocking female voice rang out.

As soon as the words were spoken, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and two girls with remarkably similar features walked in. One of the girls wore a yellow moon-white dress, her hair was styled in a slanted bun, and her long black hair cascaded down her back. She had a bare face, without any makeup, and her eyebrows were as green as emerald feathers, and her skin was as white as mutton fat.

The other woman had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, a slightly upturned nose, and bright red lips. She had a graceful figure, with her jet-black hair cascading down her back, and wore a white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

Both women possessed the cultivation level of the Core Formation Mid Stage realm, and their dresses were embroidered with rose patterns.

"The Flower-Moving Palace!"

Shen Long recognized the origin of the rose pattern.

The Flower-Moving Palace is one of the eight major forces in the North Sea Cultivation World. It has no fewer than ten Nascent Soul Cultivator, has a history of over 50,000 years, profound foundation, and numerous experts.

"Fairy Dong, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to fight beasts with you."

As Jiang Ziqing said this, his gaze fell on the girl in the white dress.

"The beast-fighting is just a pretense; you really want to see my sister, don't you?"

The Yellow-Skirted Girl said with a smile.

Jiang Ziqing gave an awkward smile, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Fairy Dong, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Shen."

Han Chuxi began to introduce them.

"Dong Yulin, this is my sister Dong Yuxue. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shen."

The Yellow-Skirted Girl said with a smile.

"It's been a while since we last met. Congratulations, Fairy Dong, on advancing to the later stages!"

Jiang Ziqing said enthusiastically, his eyes fixed on Dong Yuxue.

"Um!"

Dong Yuxue responded.

Shen Long and the other six started chatting, while Jiang Ziqing kept talking to Dong Yuxue, ignoring the others.

For every ten sentences Jiang Ziqing says, Dong Yuxue will reply with one.

Shen Long ignored them and chatted with Han Chuxi about alchemy. More and more Core Formation Cultivator arrived and joined their conversation.

In less than a quarter of an hour, twenty Core Formation Cultivator had gathered in the stone pavilion, most of them from cultivation Lineage and sects.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you've managed to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill at such a young age. May I ask which school or sect you studied under?"

Jiang Zijian asked curiously.

"My master is a free spirit, best left unmentioned."

Shen Long brushed it off vaguely.

The cultivation resources in the North Sea Cultivation World are abundant. A force with three Nascent Soul Cultivator can only be considered medium-sized. The Spirit Control Sect has little influence in the North Sea Cultivation World and has some enemies. Naturally, Shen Long would not reveal his true identity and origin.

The cultivators naturally didn't believe it, but since Shen Long didn't want to say, they wouldn't force him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you've raised Third Rank Spirit Beast, haven't you? Would you be interested in beast fighting?"

Dong Yulin looked at Shen Long with anticipation.

"Beast fighting! How could I possibly miss out on such a wonderful event?"

A somewhat hoarse male voice rang out.

As soon as these words were spoken, a plump, ruddy-faced old man in a blue robe walked in. He had five Spirit Beast Bag tied around his waist and exuded a strong aura of Sha Qi. Judging from his aura, he had the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage.

"I am Jin Golden Whale Rogue Cultivator, and I greet you fellow Daoists."

The old man in blue robes clasped his hands in greeting.

The cultivators introduced themselves, thus becoming acquainted.

"Who just said they wanted to have a beast fight? Count me in!"

"Golden Whale Rogue Cultivator," he said with a chuckle.

"I was the one who suggested it. Are any fellow Daoists joining? Chatting all the time is getting boring."

Dong Yulin said, her gaze sweeping over the cultivators present.

"Since it's a beast fight, there should be stakes! I'll wager two mid -Third Rank Green Civet Beast Demon Core."

Golden Whale Rogue Cultivator took out a Cyan Jade Box and said.

"I'll wager five Third Rank Demon Core."

Dong Yulin took out a Blue Jade Box, looked at Jiang Ziqing, and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, didn't you just say you wanted to fight beasts with me? You weren't just saying that, were you?"

"Of course not! Count me in! I'll wager two Demon Core from Third Rank Human-Faced Civet!"

Jiang Ziqing said, taking out a Cyan Jade Box.

He looked at Dong Yuxue and said warmly, "Fairy Dong, would you like to join us?"

"Good."

Dong Yuxue nodded.

Shen Long's Spirit Beast Bag swayed slightly as his gaze fell on the jade box that Jiang Ziqing had taken out.

The fact that the Spirit-Tracking Beast was interested in the Demon Core of the Human-Faced Civet was quite unexpected for Shen Long.

The Spirit-Tracking Beast is a unique Spirit Beast in the Southern Border Cultivation World. Since it is interested in the Demon Core of the Human-Faced Civet, it means that it can help it advance.
