Core Formation Mid Stage

Time flies, and five years have passed.

The door to the secret chamber opened, Shen Long stepped out, his aura much stronger than before; he had advanced to the Core Formation Mid Stage.

If you calculate the time, he has been in the Golden Core Realm for over twenty years, which is considered a fast cultivation speed.

He knew very well that if the Golden-Winged Wind Peng hadn't advanced to the Third Rank, saving him a lot of time in arduous cultivation, he wouldn't have advanced to the Core Formation Mid Stage so quickly. This was the benefit of cultivating the Spirit Beast Control Technique.

As far as he knew, many cultivators took a hundred years to advance to the middle stage after reaching the Golden Core Realm.

Shen Long has cultivated the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique to the eighth level, and his physical body can now withstand Law Treasure. He has also finished consuming the Blood Flood Dragon Pill, and now he needs to collect the Essence Blood of Third-Rank Flood Dragon.

Shen Long went outside and saw hundreds of Sound Transmission Talisman floating in the courtyard. He checked them one by one and found that they were all sent by Core Formation Cultivator. The content was similar, with most of them wanting to talk to him about something, or asking him to refine pills.

He took out Communication Disk that was flashing red light, entered a spell, and Han Chuchu's voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist Shen, I've finally made contact with you."

"I just emerged from seclusion, Fairy Han. I saw the Sound Transmission Talisman you sent. I apologize; I was in closed-door cultivation before."

Shen Long said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you're too kind. Sister Chu wanted to get to know you and asked me to introduce you. She's left the Marketplace now, but I'll introduce you two another time when I have more free time!"

Han Chuchu said.

After exchanging a few casual words, Shen Long ended the call and instead contacted other Core Formation Cultivator to reply to them.

Half an hour later, Shen Long walked out of Green Falcon Courtyard and strolled around the streets.

He visited several spirit medicine and inquired around, but still couldn't find spirit medicine or fruits that could nourish the soul.

Shen Long arrived at the square where the Rogue Cultivator cultivators had set up their stalls, and after wandering around for a while, he couldn't find anything worthwhile.

As expected, Shen Long arrived at the entrance of a magnificent palace with the three large characters "Purple Coral Hall" written on the plaque. Many cultivators were going in and out.

He had already inquired about it; the Purple Coral Hall had a direct Teleportation Array that could be used to teleport to the Outer Sea to hunt Demon Beast.

Shen Long went inside. There were two Teleportation Array inside the hall. Some people were teleported in, and some were teleported away.

He paid 10,000 Spirit Stone and walked onto a Teleportation Array.

Once all ten people were gathered, the guard cast a spell into the Teleportation Array. The Teleportation Array trembled slightly, and a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, engulfing the figures of the ten people.

After a slight dizziness, Shen Long found himself in a spacious and brightly lit hall, with a commotion coming from outside.

Shen Long stepped outside and appeared on a bustling street, where he strolled leisurely.

Along the way, he saw many shops that bought and sold Monster Beast Material, and many cultivators were coming and going. These cultivators all exuded a strong Sha Qi, and some of them had a lot of brown bloodstains on their bodies.

"Oh, Senior Shen."

A man's voice rang out.

He Hai strode up to Shen Long, his expression respectful.

"You went to the Outer Sea to hunt Demon Beast?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"No, I'll stay as a guide. There's not much work in Purple Coral Marketplace."

He Hai explained.

"Give me a description of the situation Outer Sea."

Shen Long gave the order.

He Hai lit up with joy as he explained the situation in the Outer Sea to Shen Long.

There are four major islands in the Outer Sea, which are also the four Marketplace. They are currently on Golden Flood Dragon Island, which is controlled by the Ximen Clan.

Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace is one of the four major Marketplace in the Outer Sea. With the marriage alliance between the Han family and the Ximen Clan, many members of the Han family can be seen.

After a short while, Shen Long followed He Hai to a vast Bluestone Square. In the center of the square stood a magnificent pavilion with the three large characters "Golden Flood Dragon Pavilion" (Golden Dragon Pavilion) written in a flamboyant style on a gilded plaque. This was the largest shop in the Marketplace.

"Senior Shen, the Golden Flood Dragon Pavilion is backed by the Ximen Clan and Han families, and has abundant resources for cultivation."

He Hai explained.

"Wait for me here."

Shen Long gave the order and strode inside.

The hall was spacious and bright, and many customers could be seen selling Monster Beast Material.

Shen Long went straight upstairs and arrived at the eighth floor. He saw a Cyan Light Screen at the entrance to the stairs leading to the ninth floor.

There were some chairs on the eighth floor. Shen Long found an empty chair and sat down.

Not long after, a familiar male voice reached Shen Long's ears. "Fellow Daoist Shen! Long time no see."

Shen Long turned his head and saw Song He walking down quickly, his face full of smiles.

"Fellow Daoist Song, it's you! Long time no see."

Shen Long greeted him with a smile.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shen, these are two 600-year-old Green Wind Grass, three early-stage Third Rank Green Civet Beast Demon Core, and the corpse of a mid-stage Third Rank Blood Toad Beast. Please accept them if you don't mind!"

Song He took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

"I don't have anything good to offer, so I'll give these two Green Civet Pill to Fellow Daoist Song."

Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Song He.

Song He was visibly moved, repeatedly expressing his gratitude and accepting the Cyan Jade Box.

After chatting for a while, Song He and left.

Shen Long stepped forward, and a plump old man in a golden robe sat in a chair.

"I am Ximen Yu. How shall I address you, fellow Daoist?"

The old man in the golden robe said with a smile.

"Shen Zhu!"

Shen Long gave a fake name.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Shen Fellow Daoist Shen. I wonder how I can help you?"

Ximen Yu smiled.

"I'd like to buy some nautical charts, and these things too."

Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Slip and handed it to Ximen Yu.

Ximen Yu scanned the area with his Divine Sense and said, "Apart from the spirit medicine herbs and fruits that nourish the soul and the Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood, everything else is available."

"Ximen, I've heard that Third-Rank Flood Dragon frequently appear in the Outer Sea. Is there any Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood available for sale?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"Third-Rank Flood Dragon do frequently appear in the Outer Sea, but killing Third-Rank Flood Dragon is not easy. Even if they were to be sold, they would be auctioned off at a large Auction."

Ximen Yu explained.

Shen Long suddenly realized and said, "Alright! Then I'll take the nautical chart and the other things."

Ximen Yu took out a Golden Glowing Dharma Disk, cast a spell, and then gestured.

After a while, a tall, middle-aged man came up, took out a Cyan Storage Bag, and handed it to Ximen Yu.

Ximen Yu handed it to Shen Long, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shen, please inspect the goods."

Shen Long took out the items from the Storage Bag, carefully inspected them, and after confirming that there were no problems, paid the Spirit Stone.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, we are collecting these materials. If you can obtain them, please give us priority, especially high-grade Thunder-Absorbing Bead and Thunder-Guiding Bead. spirit medicine herbs and fruits for nourishing the soul, as well as the Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood, are also within our reach."

Ximen Yu took out a Golden Jade Slip and handed it to Shen Long.

"The Demon Core of Third Rank Infant-Crying Beast! Thunder-Absorbing Bead, Thunder-Guiding Bead."

Shen Long scanned the area with his divine sense, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

Third Rank or higher Thunder Attribute Demon Beast Demon Bird, and insects may possess either Thunder-Absorbing Bead or Thunder-Guiding Bead. This is a probabilistic event. Thunder-Absorbing Bead can be used for setting up formations and refining artifacts to weaken the power of Lightning Tribulation. Thunder-Guiding Bead can guide the power of lightning from heaven and earth; the higher the tier, the better the effect.

For Thunder Attribute Demon Beast Demon Bird, and insects, possessing either Thunder-Absorbing Bead or Thunder-Guiding Bead within their bodies greatly aids their cultivation. Thunder-Absorbing Bead makes it easier for them to overcome tribulations, while Thunder-Guiding Bead can enhance their strength and guide lightning from heaven and earth to attack enemies.

Shen Long agreed and got up to leave.

He Hai led Shen Long on a tour of the Marketplace, where they purchased some sea charts and Demon Core, and inquired with several shopkeepers about the purchase price of Third-Rank Spirit Beast to understand the market situation.

"Alright, that's all for you. Here, take this bottle of pills. Keep an eye on the things I mentioned, and let me know immediately if you hear anything."

Shen Long gave the order and took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle, handing it to He Hai.

He Hai thanked them profusely, agreed, accepted the Cyan Porcelain Bottle, and left.

Shen Long rented a separate Cyan Pavilion with the three large characters "Green Falcon Pavilion" written on the plaque.

The Green Falcon Pavilion has two floors. Shen Long pushed open the door, activated the restriction, and entered a Stone Chamber.

He took out a nautical chart and began to examine it.

He planned to go out to sea to hunt Demon Beast, preferably encountering Third-Rank Flood Dragon. Before that, he needed to make preparations, as there were too many islands in the Outer Sea, and no one knew exactly how many there were.
