Obtaining the Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit
A month passed quickly, the door to the secret room opened, and Shen Long walked out with a smile on his face.
He successfully refined the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill, a total of twenty pills. He only needed to give ten pills to Zen Master Xinkong, and he could keep ten to take himself.
Shen Long walked outside; it was nighttime.
He opened the courtyard gate and found that there was no one on the street.
He regained his true appearance and went outside.
Upon arriving at the Golden Flood Dragon Pavilion, Shen Long strode inside and headed straight upstairs.
He went up to the ninth floor and met Ximen Yu.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time."
Ximen Yu greeted him.
"Fellow Daoist Ximen, this is Thunder-Guiding Bead from the body of a late-stage Third Rank- tier Golden Thunder Turtle. You can verify its authenticity."
Shen Long took out the Thunder-Guiding Bead and handed it to Ximen Yu.
Ximen Yu shook the Thunder-Guiding Bead, and a thunderous sound rang out. He quickly put the Thunder-Guiding Bead away and said, "Indeed, it is the Thunder-Guiding Bead. Fellow Daoist Shen, name your price."
"I want the Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit!"
Shen Long said.
The Thunder-Absorbing Bead is even more precious; it can be refined into a treasure to weaken Thunder Method attacks.
"Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit!"
Ximen Yu frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Ximen, you said it yourself. I almost died at its hands while trying to kill this tortoise."
Shen Long's face showed lingering fear.
Ximen Yu nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, please wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch it."
He took out a Golden Dharma Disk, cast a spell, and then gestured.
After a while, a middle-aged man came up, took out a blue Jade Box and handed it to Ximen Yu, Ximen Yu handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long opened the box and saw a black fruit with seven silver lines on its surface.
"Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit!"
Shen Long's face lit up with joy, and he accepted the gift.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, if you manage to acquire any more high-level Thunder-Absorbing Bead or Thunder-Guiding Bead, please consider us first."
Ximen Yu said.
"No problem. But then again, the chances of a lightning-type Demon Beast possessing Thunder-Absorbing Bead or Thunder-Guiding Bead are extremely low."
Shen Long sighed.
"Things are valued for their rarity, which is why they can be exchanged for Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit. I've heard that some Thunder Attribute Demon Beast possess both Thunder-Absorbing Bead and Thunder-Guiding Bead within their bodies."
Ximen Yu said.
"This kind of Demon Beast is very rare and has great potential. If you encounter Demon Beast, you're lucky if you can run away."
Shen Long said.
After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Long took his leave. As he walked downstairs, a gaunt young man in black approached him, exuding an aura of Yin Qi.
"Ghost cultivator!"
Shen Long thought to himself, said nothing, and strode downstairs.
He had just stepped out of the Golden Flood Dragon Pavilion when a joyful female voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist Shen, so you've arrived at the Outer Sea."
Shen Long looked in the direction of the sound and saw Han Chuchu, with Chu Buyu standing beside her.
"Sister Chu, this is the Fellow Daoist Shen I told you about."
Han Chuchu introduced them enthusiastically.
Chu Buyu bowed respectfully and said, "This younger sister, Chu Buyu, greets Fellow Daoist Shen."
"Fairy Chu 're too kind, Fairy Chu. I've long admired Fairy Chu."
Shen Long said politely.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately. Would it be convenient for us to talk in private for a moment?"
Chu Buyu said.
"Sure! Let's talk at my place!"
Shen Long said.
"I won't disturb you any longer, Fellow Daoist Shen, Sister Chu, you two continue your conversation."
Han Chuchu said, and strode into the Golden Flood Dragon Pavilion.
Shen Long brought Chu Buyu to the Green Falcon Pavilion and brewed a pot of Spirit Tea.
After finishing a cup of tea, Chu Buyu got down to business. "Fellow Daoist Shen, I heard you have high-grade Beast Rearing Pill? I'd like to buy some from you, what do you say?"
"I've heard that Fairy Chu is skilled in weapon crafting. I'd like to ask for Fairy Chu help in refining this Thunder-Absorbing Bead into Law Treasure. My reward is two high-grade Beast Rearing Pill. What do you say?"
Shen Long took out the Thunder-Absorbing Bead and handed it to Chu Buyu.
"Two are too few. I'll trade you cultivation resources; I want five."
Chu Buyu said, taking out dozens of materials.
Shen Long glanced at them, pointed to the two cyan Demon Core, and asked, "What kind of Demon Beast's Demon Core are these?"
"This is the Demon Core of Third Rank- tier Green Wind Peng!"
Chu Buyu explained.
"No Poison Sac from the Nine-Rosy Beast? Two Demon Core aren't enough."
Shen Long frowned and said.
"I want ten high-grade Beast Rearing Pill. These are the Thunder-Guiding Bead from the body of Third Rank Golden Thunder Falcon. I can refine them into a set of Law Treasure that can absorb lightning power and also guide the lightning of heaven and earth to harm enemies. What do you say?"
Chu Buyu took out a Golden Orb and said.
"A complete set of Law Treasure! No problem."
Shen Long readily agreed, saying, "I'll give you five Beast Rearing Pill as a deposit first."
"No need. Give me the reward after the treasure is forged."
Chu Buyu said.
"Alright then! I'll have to trouble you, Fairy Chu."
Shen Long said.
After chatting for a while, Chu Buyu took her leave, and Shen Long personally saw her off.
"Isn't this Junior Sister Chu? And who is this fellow Daoist?"
A somewhat teasing female voice rang out.
Chu Buyu frowned and looked toward the source of the sound, where a voluptuous woman in a white dress walked toward her.
The woman in the white dress had exquisite features, and her aura was even stronger than Chu Buyu's.
"Mu Shanshan, I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Chu Buyu said coldly.
"I'm your senior sister. I don't want you to do anything that would tarnish the reputation of our Sun and Moon Palace, and I certainly don't want Senior Brother Xu to misjudge you."
Mu Shanshan sneered.
Chu Buyu snorted coldly and strode away.
Shen Long frowned, turned around and walked back to the Green Falcon Pavilion, closing the door behind him.
He entered a secret room, went into the Spirit Control Tower, and went to the third floor.
He whistled, and a clear, loud bird song came from high above. The Golden-Winged Wind Peng swooped down, and a gust of wind rushed towards him.
It landed in front of Shen Long, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Shen Long took out a cyan Demon Core and a high-grade Beast Rearing Pill and fed them to the Golden-Winged Wind Peng.
The Golden-Winged Wind Peng let out a joyful chirping, and with a gentle flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, kicking up countless clouds of dust.
Shen Long exited the Spirit Control Tower. He took out the Crimson Crow Cauldron, about to refine pills, when a piercing scream came from his body. He took out a Communication Disk flashing with blue light from his pocket, cast a spell, He Hai's voice sounded, "Senior Shen, are you available? Two seniors wish to see you and are willing to spend a large sum of money to buy High-Grade Medicinal Pill from you. They are very powerful."
"What are their backgrounds? Why did they ask you to introduce them?"
Shen Long asked.
"They are Rogue Cultivator with great Divine Ability. By chance, they learned that I knew you, so they asked me to introduce them."
He Hai explained.
Shen Long pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Bring them to the Green Falcon Pavilion! I want to meet them."
"Yes, Senior Shen."
He Hai agreed.
Shen Long put away the Communication Disk, walked out, and sat down in the lobby.
A quarter of an hour later, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.
Shen Long grabbed the Sound Transmission Talisman with his right hand, crushed it with a single squeeze, He Hai's voice rang out. "Senior Shen, we've arrived."
Shen Long got up and opened the door. He Hai was standing at the door. A Blue-Shirted Youth and a woman in a red dress with striking features were standing to the side. Judging from their aura, they had the cultivation level of the Core Formation Late Stage stage.
