Heavenly Fiend Island and Lu Qian
A month later, Shen Long emerged from the cave with a smile on his face.
He successfully refined the Nine-Curve Monster Luring Powder and created a Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense.
He arrived at the beach, summoned the Water-Avoiding Pearl, and cast a spell. The Water-Avoiding Pearl emitted a dazzling blue light, circled around him, and transformed into a thick Blue Water Screen that enveloped his entire body.
Shen Long dived into the sea and released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada and the Ice Flood Dragon.
The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada emitted a dazzling golden light, surveying the situation within a radius of a hundred miles.
Shen Long opened his Divine Sense to investigate the level of the Demon Beast.
With the combined power of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada's spiritual eyes and Shen Long's Divine Sense, hunting Demon Beast became much easier.
He had no interest in ordinary Demon Beast and had no intention of luring or killing other Demon Beast.
Shen Long moved slowly on the seabed. Along the way, the Third-Rank Spirit Beast all retreated, for they were no match for the Ice Flood Dragon.
Half a month later, Shen Long was still moving deep in the sea. The Ice Flood Dragon was fighting with a Blue Shark. The Blue Shark was no match for the Ice Flood Dragon. Before long, the Blue Shark was swallowed by the Ice Flood Dragon.
The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada shone with a dazzling golden light as it continued its investigation.
"Huh, a late-stage Third Rank Golden Thunder Turtle!"
Shen Long let out a soft "hmm," his face lighting up with delight.
Fifty miles to the northwest, in the sea, there is a late-stage Third Rank Golden Thunder Turtle.
The Golden Thunder Turtle may contain Thunder-Guiding Bead or Thunder-Absorbing Bead. Even if it doesn't, its shell can be used to refine the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill to strengthen Shen Long's physical body.
Shen Long put away the Ice Flood Dragon and returned to the sea.
He flew towards the northwest, while the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada kept a close eye on the Golden Thunder Turtle's movements.
After flying for more than forty miles, Shen Long landed on a Desolate Island that was over a hundred miles in size.
He took out the Formation Flag Formation Disk plate to set up the array. After setting up the Formation, he took out a Golden Incense Stick that was more than three feet tall. This was the Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense.
He lit the Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense and placed it in the center of the Formation.
He released the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox- Green-Eyed Spirit Fox, which opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of blue mist that enveloped Shen Long.
The blue mist dissipated, Shen Long was gone, replaced by a coconut tree.
Illusion!
After the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox advances to the Third Rank, it can cast illusion spells.
Shen Long remained standing there, but people passing by simply didn't see him.
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox exhaled a cloud of blue mist, enveloping the Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense.
The Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense transformed into a giant rock, but this was merely an illusion; a peculiar scent slowly dissipated.
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox transformed into a streak of azure light and flew into a Cyan Spirit Beast Bag at Shen Long's waist.
Less than fifteen minutes later, the sea near the island began to churn and surge, and a huge Golden Turtle emerged from the water, its head adorned with golden patterns.
It caught the scent of the Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense and let out a low roar.
A clear and loud bird call came from high in the sky, and a Giant Crane Red Giant Crane appeared, its beak golden.
The Red Giant Crane circled once in the sky, then swooped down and headed straight for the island.
The Golden Thunder Turtle opened its mouth and spat out a golden lightning bolt as thick as an adult's arm, which headed straight for the Red Giant Crane.
The Red Giant Crane reacted quickly, flapping its wings and circling to avoid the golden lightning.
A golden lightning bolt struck a coconut tree, instantly shattering it.
A deafening clap of thunder echoed from high above, and a massive Golden Thunder Cloud appeared in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Thick bolts of golden lightning struck down, heading straight for the Red Giant Crane.
After dodging more than ten golden lightning bolts, the Red Giant Crane was still struck by one, slowing it down. Soon, the second and third golden lightning bolts struck, engulfing the Red Giant Crane's body in Golden Thunder Light.
The Red Giant Crane plummeted from the sky and landed on the ground, its body charred black, lifeless, and emitting a burnt smell.
The Golden Thunder Turtle transformed into a Golden Escape Light and landed on the island. A peculiar scent filled the air—the scent of the Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense.
A massive Red Blade Light swept out from somewhere in the void and instantly arrived in front of the Golden Thunder Turtle.
The Golden Thunder Turtle reacted quickly, opening its mouth and spitting out a thick bolt of golden lightning that shattered the Red Blade Light.
A large amount of White Cold Qi surged from the ground, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the ground began to freeze.
Realizing something was wrong, the Golden Thunder Turtle transformed into a Golden Escape Light and flew back the way it had come.
A gust of wind blew by, Shen Long appeared, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Saber to slash at the Golden Thunder Turtle. A huge Red Blade Light flashed out and instantly arrived in front of the Golden Thunder Turtle.
The Golden Thunder Turtle unleashed another thick bolt of golden lightning, shattering the Red Blade Light. A massive White Light Screen appeared, trapping the lightning upside down within it.
Mystic Ice Monster-Slaying Formation!
The Golden Thunder Turtle wanted to attack Shen Long, Shen Long simply flapped his golden wings and disappeared from the spot.
A chilling wind swept through the White Light Screen, and a large number of white snowflakes fell. Before they even hit the ground, the snowflakes transformed into White Ice Blade, each over ten feet long, slashing towards the Golden Thunder Turtle.
The Golden Thunder Turtle let out a loud roar, spewing out a huge Golden Thunder Ball to meet the attack.
The Golden Thunder Ball collided with a White Ice Blade and exploded instantly, sending a massive burst of Golden Thunder Light soaring into the sky and engulfing the incoming White Ice Blade.
A black beam of light shot out from the Golden Thunder Light without warning and arrived in front of it in an instant.
Just as the Golden Thunder Turtle was about to dodge, a strange, piercing screech rang out. Its head suddenly felt heavy, as if a heavy hammer had slammed down on it, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.
The black light pierced through the Golden Thunder Turtle's head, and its body fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground.
Shen Long landed in front of the Golden Thunder Turtle, and with a single gesture, the Spirit-Extinguishing Needle landed in his hand.
He disposed of the Golden Thunder Turtle's corpse on the spot, but found neither the Thunder-Guiding Bead nor the Thunder-Absorbing Bead. Fortunately, the turtle shell was intact and could be used to refine the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill.
He put away the corpse of the Golden Thunder Turtle and the Nine-Curve Monster Luring Incense. Sensing something, he gently patted his chest, and a ball of black light shone, revealing a Black Small Lock. The black light obscured Shen Long's face.
As the black light dissipated, Shen Long's appearance changed.
The Shape-Shifting Lock, a magical Law Treasure that Shen Long seized from an enemy, can change one's appearance.
A black light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped in a flash. The Escape Light dissipated, revealing a Black Flying Boat more than ten feet long, with a hideous ghost face pattern engraved on its hull.
A portly old man in a black robe and a plump woman in a golden dress stood on it. Both of them had a skull pattern on their clothes and were in the Core Formation Late Stage.
"Heavenly Fiend Island!"
Shen Long recognized the origin of the skull pattern.
Heavenly Fiend Island is the abode of the Black and White Fiends, both of whom are among the Ten Immortals of the Overseas Black and White Fiends possess extraordinary strength.
The old man in black robes took out a scroll, unfurled it, and the painting depicted a burly man in a blue robe.
He spoke first, asking, "Fellow Daoist, have you encountered this person?"
"Never seen it before."
Shen Long shook his head.
The woman in the golden dress flipped her right hand, and with a flash of golden light, a Golden Orb the size of an egg appeared in her hand, which she infused with Law Power.
The Golden Orb suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and the woman in the golden dress spoke up, "That is his true form, not Lu Qian."
"He can't have gone far. Keep searching. I refuse to believe we won't find him."
The old man in black robes spoke, and with a flick of his hand, the Black Flying Boat emitted a burst of black light and soared into the sky.
Shen Long put away the Formation Disk Formation Flag, then transformed into a Escape Light and left the place.
Half a day later, a Blue Giant Clam emerged from the sea. The shell burst open, and a weak-looking young man in a blue robe stood inside. It was Lu Qian, the man the old man in black robes was looking for.
"Heavenly Fiend Island, I'll remember this debt."
Lu Qian muttered to himself, put away the Blue Clam Shell, and flew into an underground cave.
On a small island a hundred miles away, Shen Long stood on the beach, with the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada in front of him.
"It was there after all!"
Shen Long muttered to himself.
He had already discovered Lu Qian, but he hadn't told the old man in black.
Shen Long had no interest in getting involved in the struggles of other forces. He kept to himself and put away the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, transforming into a Escape Light and leaving the place.
Back in Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace, Shen Long returned to the Green Falcon Pavilion, took out a blue Communication Disk, cast a spell, and said, "Young friend Sun, come to the Green Falcon Pavilion. I have something to say to you."
"Yes, Senior Shen."
Sun Yiyue readily agreed.
Shen Long put away the Communication Disk, took out tea leaves and teaware to brew tea, and drank it while waiting.
Sun Yiyue arrived in less than fifteen minutes.
"You did a great job. Nine-Rosy Beast did indeed appear. Here's a bottle of Yellow Apricot Pill for you."
Shen Long took out a yellow porcelain bottle and handed it to Sun Yiyue.
"Thank you very much, Senior Shen."
Sun Yiyue looked excited as she accepted the yellow porcelain bottle with both hands.
"Has anything major happened in the cultivation Immortal Realm recently?"
Shen Long asked casually.
"Heavenly Fiend Island has issued a hefty reward for the capture of a Core Formation Cultivator named Lu Qian. It is said that he is a descendant of the Five Dragons Sect."
Sun Yiyue said.
"What? He's a descendant of the Five Dragons Sect?"
Shen Long frowned.
That's what people are saying; as for the truth, we'll never know.
Sun Yiyue said.
"Is there anything else besides this?"
Shen Long continued to ask.
"The Three Immortals Sect has gained a Nascent Soul Cultivator, so they are holding Nascent Soul Celebration and sending Invitation widely."
Sun Yiyue said.
Shen Long asked a few questions, and Sun Yiyue answered truthfully.
"These second-tier Demon Beast are for you. Keep an eye out for news about the Third-Rank Flood Dragon."
Shen Long took out a yellow Storage Bag and handed it to Sun Yiyue.
The yellow Storage Bag contained the corpses of some second-tier Demon Beast. Shen Long had encountered some second-tier Demon Beast on the road and killed them casually. They were worth little money to him, but for most Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they were not a small amount.
"Thank you very much, Senior Shen. I will do my best to serve you."
Sun Yiyue expressed her gratitude.
Shen Long gave a few instructions and then dismissed Sun Yiyue.
Shen Long went to the Golden Flood Dragon Pavilion, bought a batch of spirit medicine, and sold some Monster Beast Material as well.
Back at the Green Falcon Pavilion, Shen Long entered a secret room, sat cross-legged on a Blue Prayer Mat, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Long opened his eyes, took out the Crimson Crow Cauldron and alchemy materials, and began to refine the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill.
He opened his mouth and spewed out the Red Lotus True Flame, which landed at the bottom of the Crimson Crow Cauldron. He then threw the Golden Thunder Turtle's shell and other materials into the Crimson Crow Cauldron and closed the lid.
Before long, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the Crimson Crow Cauldron.
