Jiang Man

Six months later, the door to the secret room opened, and Shen Long walked out.

He consumed several top-grade Vajra Bone Tempering Pill, further enhancing his physical strength.

After leaving Green Falcon Pavilion, Shen Long strolled around the streets, looking at the sights.

After a short while, Shen Long stood at the entrance of a nine-story pavilion with the three golden characters "Tinghailou" (Listen to the Sea Pavilion) on the plaque above.

Shen Long strode inside. There were many Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the hall, sitting in twos and threes, sipping tea and chatting.

His gaze swept across the room and landed on a sprightly old man in a blue robe behind the counter.

The tall, thin old man in the green robe had a goatee and possessed the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage.

A Green-Shirted Attendant strode over, bowed, and said warmly, "I wonder how I can be of service to you, senior?"

Are there any private rooms available?

Shen Long asked.

"No more seats available for now. There are quite a few seniors on the ninth floor, so there are still empty seats."

"That's what the Green-Shirted Attendant said."

"Take me to the ninth floor and bring me a pot of fine tea."

Shen Long gave the order.

"Yes, senior, please follow me."

The servant in the Green-Shirted Attendant smiled even more broadly and led the way.

Shen Long followed the Green-Shirted Attendant to the ninth floor and found that there were quite a few Core Formation Cultivator there.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time."

A familiar male voice rang out.

Shen Long looked in the direction of the sound and saw Song He.

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Song! Why are you alone? Where are Fellow Daoist Huang and the others?"

Shen Long smiled slightly and walked towards Song He.

"They're busy with their own affairs, and there are no private rooms available. If Fellow Daoist Shen doesn't mind, please sit with me at the same table!"

Song He said enthusiastically.

Shen Long nodded, sat down, and started chatting with Song He.

"By the way, I heard that Heavenly Fiend Island is looking for a Core Formation Cultivator. Have they caught him?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"No, Heavenly Fiend Island mobilized quite a few Core Formation Cultivator, but they still couldn't capture this person. I heard that once five Core Formation Cultivator cornered him, but he still managed to escape. This person cultivates the <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>, Divine Ability."

Song He said.

He thought of something and transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Shen, the rewards from Heavenly Fiend Island are very generous, but you don't need to take the risk. Lu Qian is very strong."

Heavenly Fiend Island offered a huge reward for Lu Qian's capture. With such a generous reward, many Core Formation Cultivator searched far and wide for Lu Qian in order to obtain the reward.

"What grudge does Lu Qian have against Heavenly Fiend Island? The Five Dragons Sect has been destroyed for many years. Is it worth paying a high price to capture a Core Formation Cultivator?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"I've heard that Lu Qian killed one of the Dharma Protector of Heavenly Fiend Island. There's also a rumor that Lu Qian possesses the complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>. Furthermore, some even say that Lu Qian has Spirit Treasure."

Song He said.

"The complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>? Spirit Treasure!"

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise, "These two items are enough to tempt many Core Formation Cultivator."

"It's just a rumor, and most of it is unreliable. I think the first version is more credible."

A strikingly beautiful Purple-Skirted Woman spoke up, her gaze falling on Shen Long. She politely asked, "Are you Fellow Daoist Shen Zhu?"

"Exactly."

Shen Long nodded.

"I am Jiang Man. I have heard Fellow Daoist Song mention Fellow Daoist Shen before. I am finally able to meet True Person. I would like to discuss some matters with Fellow Daoist Shen. Would it be convenient for Fellow Daoist Shen to do so?"

The Purple-Skirted Woman said politely.

Shen Long looked at Song He, Song He quickly transmitted his voice and said, "I've known Madam Jiang for over a hundred years; we're old acquaintances. She has a Third Rank Golden Thunder Eagle, which is quite Divine Ability and makes a living by hunting Demon Beast."

"Since you are a friend of Fellow Daoist Song, let's chat at my place!"

Shen Long said.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Jiang Man's face lit up with joy.

She left with Shen Long and arrived at the Green Falcon Pavilion.

"I heard from Fellow Daoist Song that Fellow Daoist Shen is Alchemist. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shen has High-Grade Medicinal Pill? I am willing to pay a high price for them."

Jiang Man got straight to the point.

"Of course I have top-grade healing pills; it depends on what Madam Jiang has to offer."

Shen Long said meaningfully.

Jiang Man took out a blue Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened it and found a Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit inside.

"Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit!"

Shen Long nodded, took out a Cyan Jade Box, and handed it to Jiang Man.

Jiang Man opened the Cyan Jade Box, inside were five Golden Medicinal Pill, each with nine Golden Medicinal Pill Pattern on its surface.

"This is a top-grade Golden Ganoderma Pill; it has excellent healing effects."

Shen Long said.

Jiang Man's face lit up with joy, and she said, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen."

"If Madam Jiang finds another Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit, please consider me first."

Shen Long said.

"Indeed, I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Shen's cultivation any longer. Farewell."

After saying this, Jiang Man left Green Falcon Pavilion.

Shen Long patted a White Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, instructing the Spirit-Tracking Beast to remember Jiang Man's Divine Sense fluctuations.

Shen Long was genuinely surprised that Jiang Man was able to produce a Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Fruit.

Shen Long took out Communication Disk that was flashing with blue light, and entered a spell. Mu Weiwei's voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist Shen, are you free now? I need to talk to you about something."

"Convenient, where are you?"

Shen Long asked.

"I'm right outside your door, Fairy Han told me."

Mu Weiwei said.

Shen Long opened the door and saw Mu Weiwei standing there. He then invited her in.

"Long time no see, Fairy Mu."

Shen Long greeted him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, do you have any pills that can cure lightning strikes?"

Mu Weiwei got straight to the point.

"Yes, Snow Jade Paste, for external application."

Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Box, opened it, and inside were some white, paste-like substances.

The Pill Formula for Snow Jade Paste was obtained by Shen Long from Evil Cultivator. He gathered all the ingredients and successfully refined Snow Jade Paste.

"I received word that Star-Moon Marketplace is preparing to hold Auction, where the Essence Blood of Third-Rank Flood Dragon will be sold. Here are two Spirit Rearing Fruit and the corpse of a Third Rank- tier Blood Toad Beast. How about we trade Snow Jade Paste?"

Mu Weiwei took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

"Star-Moon Marketplace!"

Shen Long looked thoughtful as he accepted the Storage Bag and handed the jade box to Mu Weiwei.

Star-Moon Marketplace is one of the four major Marketplace in the Outer Sea, controlled by the Sun and Moon Palace and the Su Family, and is rich in resources.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Mu Weiwei expressed her gratitude and put away the jade box.

"Fairy Mu, Heavenly Fiend Island is offering a hefty reward for Lu Qian's capture. Do you know why?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"I've heard that Lu Qian killed one of the Dharma Protector of Heavenly Fiend Island. There are also rumors that Lu Qian obtained a Spirit Treasure on Immortal Fallen Island, which is why he's being hunted down by Heavenly Fiend Island."

Mu Weiwei said, then, as if remembering something, added, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I advise you to stay out of this kind of thing. Such incidents are not uncommon in the Outer Sea. I've heard that Lu Qian cultivates the <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>, Divine Ability. You don't need to provoke him."

"Thank you for reminding me. I was just asking out of curiosity. By the way, do you have any spirit medicine herbs or fruits that nourish the soul?"

Shen Long changed the subject.

Mu Weiwei looked troubled and shook her head, saying, "No, these kinds of things are quite rare and are usually only seen at large Auction. This time, Star-Moon Marketplace is holding Auction, so perhaps some will appear. You can try your luck."

Shen Long nodded and started chatting with Mu Weiwei.

After chatting for fifteen minutes, Mu Weiwei said goodbye and left.

The next morning, Shen Long left the Marketplace, transforming into a Escape Light and soaring into the sky. He planned to attend the Auction at Star-Moon Marketplace, hoping to acquire the Essence Blood of Third-Rank Flood Dragon.
