Purchasing Soul-Extinguishing Talismans

In a certain sea area, on a small island several miles in size, lies a hidden underground cave.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on the ground, with a large pile of things in front of him. The two Core Formation Cultivator had a lot of wealth, including six Law Treasure, a Third Rank Puppet, more than 200,000 Spirit Stone, and more than 20 Third Rank Demon Core cores.

The five Law Treasure are the Golden Sun Cauldron, the Golden Sun Staff, the Sea-Parting Halberd, the Heavenly Sea Shield, and the Blue Moon Boat.

Shen Long valued the Golden Sun Cauldron, the Golden Sun Staff, and the Third Rank Puppet Beast. The Golden Sun Cauldron could take away other people's Law Treasure, the Golden Sun Staff was a heavy Law Treasure, and the Third Rank Puppet Beast was even more powerful.

Shen Long took out the Soul Refining Bowl, inside which was a Green Light Orb.

He cast a spell, Soul Refining Bowl emitted a blinding black light, its temperature rapidly decreasing.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Just give me a quick death!"

The Green Light Orb spoke.

He knew very well that Shen Long wouldn't let him go at this point; giving him a quick death would be a good thing.

"Why are you following me? If you don't want to be tortured, then tell me the truth."

Shen Long's tone was icy.

"Fellow Daoist obtained the Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood. We coveted it, but upon discovering you were alone, we followed you, intending to kill you and steal your treasure."

"It's a ball of light," the light said.

"Really? You'd better not lie to me. I'll interrogate your partner, and if her testimony differs from yours, you know the consequences."

Shen Long said.

"That's really true, I'm not lying."

"It's a ball of light," the light said.

Shen Long took out the Mysterious Yin Banner; all the Ghost Creature inside had been killed, so it could be used to store their Essence Soul.

With a flick of his wrist, a Green Light Orb flew out from the flag. He collected the ball of light from the Soul Refining Bowl into the Mysterious Yin Banner and interrogated it, but the result was the same.

These two men were only after money, which is why they wanted to kill Shen Long. Unexpectedly, Shen Long used his connections to kill them instead.

Shen Long picked up a Cyan Jade Slip and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

After reading through all the Jade Slip slips, he found the method to control Third Rank Puppet Beast in a Golden Jade Slip.

Shen Long's Divine Sense is much stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level, allowing him to control more treasures. Obtaining a Third Rank Puppet Beast would definitely be a great help.

He sorted and collected the items on the ground, put them into his Storage Bag, and left the cave.

Shen Long arrived at the beach, summoned the Water-Avoiding Pearl, and cast a spell. The Water-Avoiding Pearl emitted a dazzling blue light, transforming into a thick Blue Water Screen that enveloped his entire body before he submerged into the sea.

The seawater parted to make way for it.

Shen Long released the Hundred-Eyed Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, whose eyes emitted a dazzling golden light as it probed for Demon Beast within a hundred miles.

According to intelligence gathered by the Listen Wind Pavilion, Third-Rank Flood Dragon has been spotted in the nearby sea area.

He opened his Divine Sense wide, probing the aura of Demon Beast within a fifty-mile radius.

······

Star-Moon Marketplace, a secluded manor.

Chu Buyu held a Red-Glowing Dharma Disk in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed.

Is the news true?

Chu Buyu asked.

"This information was gathered by the Intelligence Bureau; it should be fine."

A deep male voice rang out.

"Okay, I'll go myself!"

Chu Buyu said, put away the Red Dharma Disk, and left the manor.

······

More than half a year later, in a certain sea area, a section of the sea surface exploded, and Shen Long flew out from the seabed, his body covered by a Blue Water Screen. His expression was panicked and his eyes were terrified, as if he had encountered something terrible.

Shen Long patted a golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, Golden-Winged Wind Peng flew out from it, its body radiating golden light, and merged with Shen Long.

A pair of Golden Feather Wings sprouted from Shen Long's back, and the sea surface churned and surged, creating a giant wave hundreds of feet high that crashed towards Shen Long.

With a gentle flap of his wings, he vanished in a gust of wind— Wind Evasion Technique.

With a deafening roar, the giant wave missed its target, and the void twisted and deformed.

A Blue Whale over a hundred feet long surfaced from the sea. Its Blue Whale was covered with silver patterns, and judging from its aura, it was clearly Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast.

The Blue Whale, having failed in its attack, dived back to the seabed.

More than 300 miles away, a golden light shone in the void, Shen Long appeared, his eyes filled with terror.

For the past six months, he has been searching for Third-Rank Flood Dragon in the sea. He has encountered many Third-Rank Spirit Beast, but he has not found Third-Rank Flood Dragon. Not long ago, he discovered a Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast.

The Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast approached Shen Long within fifty miles, and Shen Long discovered it. He immediately returned to the sea and escaped using the Golden-Winged Wind Peng's Wind Evasion Technique. Thanks to the Golden-Winged Wind Peng's mastery of Wind Evasion Technique Wind Evasion Technique, Shen Long was able to escape for more than three hundred miles before stopping.

"It seems that the Third-Rank Flood Dragon was just passing through; its lair isn't nearby. Oh well, I should go prepare for that matter!"

Shen Long muttered to himself, then gently flapped his Golden Feather Wings and flew into the sky, leaving the place behind.

About two weeks later, Shen Long returned to the Green Falcon Pavilion in Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace.

He entered a secret room, went into the Spirit Control Tower, and arrived at the second floor, where an astonishing wave of heat hit him.

Shen Long arrived at a vast red spiritual field, where he could see a large number of red Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, known as Red Flame Ganoderma.

After years of renovation, Shen Long cultivated a large area of spiritual fields on the second level and planted fire-attribute spirit medicine and fruits.

He purchased fire-attribute spirit medicine that were several hundred years old and planted them in his spiritual fields. These Red Flame Ganoderma were at least three hundred years old.

The Spirit Control Tower can be considered a portable space. Shen Long can easily plant some spirit medicine herbs and fruits, and later sell them for a large sum of Spirit Stone.

He summoned a palm-sized Blue Gourd, cast a spell into it, and the Blue Gourd emitted a beam of blue light, flying above the spirit field and transforming into a blue cloud hundreds of feet in size.

Blue clouds rolled and surged, and large blue raindrops poured down, falling into the spirit field.

A white mist rose, but it quickly disappeared under the high temperature.

Fire-attribute spirit medicine also need to induce rain, but the frequency doesn't need to be as high.

After applying rain to the Red Flame Ganoderma, he came to a red fruit forest. There were hundreds of red fruit trees planted there, and each tree was laden with hundreds of golden fruits, the fruits of which were shaped like crescent moons.

Golden Apricot Fruit ripen only once every hundred years.

Shen Long no longer needs the Golden Apricot Fruit, but he can still earn a large sum of Spirit Stone by selling it.

He picked the Golden Apricot Fruit one by one and put them into his Storage Bag. He released the Fire Rock Beast and the Golden-Winged Fire Ant, letting them roam in their respective territories.

He arrived at the third level, released the Golden-Winged Wind Peng, fed it a Third Rank Green Wind Peng Demon Core and a high-grade Beast Rearing Pill, and then let it roam freely.

Shen Long gazed at the barren mountain range, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The third floor has a lot of space, and it would be a waste to leave it idle. He doesn't lack Spirit Stone now, so more income is a good thing.

Shen Long withdrew from the Spirit Control Tower, sat Cattail Mat- legged on the futon, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

As darkness fell, the gates of the Green Falcon Pavilion opened, and a Blue-Shirted Youth robe with ordinary features stepped out. It was Shen Long, who had changed his appearance and intended to sell a batch of spiritual fruits.

He looked around but didn't see any other cultivators, so he went outside and strolled around the streets.

Shen Long strolled around the Marketplace, selling the Golden Apricot Fruit in batches and earning a large sum of Spirit Stone. He also sold most of the items he had seized from the enemy. In addition, he purchased a batch of 300-year-old Mysterious Fire Bamboo, 200-year-old Iron Wood, and 200-year-old Five-Colored Flower.

Mysterious Fire Bamboo can be used to refine artifacts and set up formations, Iron Wood can be used to refine Puppet Beast, Five-Colored Flower can release miasma.

An hour later, Shen Long appeared at the entrance of a Cyan Pavilion with three large golden characters on the plaque. "Thousand Talisman Pavilion." Many cultivators were going in and out.

Shen Long strode inside and headed straight upstairs. On the seventh floor, he saw a Blue-Skirted Matron, cherry lips and a delicate nose, and skin as white as snow. Judging from her aura, she was also a Core Formation Cultivator.

"My name is Du Yun. Welcome to my shop, fellow Daoist. Would you like to purchase Talisman or place an order? This is the catalog."

The Blue-Skirted Matron gave a brief introduction, then took out Dharma Disk that shimmered with blue light and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long examined the area, frowned, and said, "Why isn't there Soul-Extinguishing Talisman?"

"Soul-Extinguishing Talisman can't be bought with Spirit Stone; they need to be exchanged for precious materials."

Du Yun said meaningfully.

Without further ado, Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to the Blue-Skirted Matron, saying, "One top-grade Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Pill should be enough to exchange for a Soul-Extinguishing Talisman, right? I need it in stock, right now."

"Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Pill!"

Du Yun exclaimed in surprise, her gaze turning fervent.

She took out Communication Disk that was flashing with blue light, entered a spell, and then made a series of gestures.

Not long after, a soft footstep sound came from upstairs, and a slender girl in a white dress came down from upstairs. The girl in the white dress had a round face, big eyes, two cute dimples, and bright red lips.

"This is Deng Piaoxue, greetings, fellow Daoist. This is Soul-Extinguishing Talisman."

The girl in the white dress introduced herself, took out a Cyan Jade Box, and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the jade box, inside which was a Soul-Extinguishing Talisman, exactly the same as the one used by the Master Golden Toad.

Shen Long nodded and put away the Talisman.

"I also have other powerful Third Rank Talisman. Are you interested, fellow Daoist?"

"I asked, "Deng Piaoxue asked in a sweet voice.

"What kind of powerful Talisman?"

Shen Long asked.

Deng Piaoxue took out a white Dharma Disk and handed it to Shen Long, letting Shen Long choose at his leisure.

"I need a Three-Yang Fire-Avoiding Talisman and a set of Seven-Star Warning Talisman. You don't also want a high-grade Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Pill, do you? I don't have any."

Shen Long frowned and said.

"No need for that. Monster Beast Material are fine too. If it's convenient, leave your contact information so you can contact us directly using your Communication Disk."

Deng Piaoxue said.

Shen Long took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to Deng Piaoxue, saying, "Is there enough stuff in here? There's a Communication Disk Communication Disk inside; you can use it to contact me."

Deng Piaoxue scanned the area with her Divine Sense, nodded, and said, "That's enough. May I ask how you should address me, friend?"

She took out two jade boxes and handed them to Shen Long.

After checking and confirming everything was correct, Shen Long said, "My surname is Long. That's fine then! I'll contact you if needed."

After saying this, he got up and left.

He strolled around the streets for a while, found nothing unusual, and returned to Golden Bamboo Courtyard.

Shen Long entered a secret room and went into the Spirit Control Tower. He planted more than a hundred Mysterious Fire Bamboo in the Volcano Cluster, and planted Iron Wood and Five-Colored Flower on the second floor.

After finishing these tasks, Shen Long exited the Spirit Control Tower, sat down cross-legged, took out a Vajra Bone Tempering Pill, and swallowed it.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Shen Long channeled his internal energy to refine the medicinal power, and his body began to feel slightly warm.
