Three Years

Sun and Moon Island, the General Headquarters of the Sun and Moon Palace.

A shimmering silver palace, with the words "Moon Palace" written on its plaque in a flamboyant style.

A voluptuous woman in a silver dress sat in the main seat. Her features were exquisite, and her aura was unfathomable.

Song Lianyue, Moon Palace Master, Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Chu Buyu was reporting to Song Lianyue with a respectful expression.

"You don't know this person's background either?"

Song Lianyue frowned.

"I don't know him. It was just a coincidence. He cultivates the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique. Maybe it's Lu Qian."

Chu Buyu guessed.

"Lu Qian's dragon scales are blue, while this person's are red. They are not the same person. It is certain that this person cultivates the <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>, and also possesses many Spirit Beast Spirit Insect. It is just unknown whether the Spirit Treasure are in this person's possession."

Song Lianyue said.

"It shouldn't be there! If there really were Spirit Treasure, why would Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Five Dragons Sect store it in the Secret Realm?"

Chu Buyu asked in confusion.

"That's right. This time you were being hunted down, I will send people to investigate. The Core Formation Cultivator of the Three Immortals Sect are targeting you, which shows they don't take our Sun and Moon Palace seriously. We will settle this score with them."

By the end, Song Lianyue's face was filled with murderous intent.

Chu Buyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, please don't kill Lin Yan and the others. I want to kill them myself."

"Good, you have ambition. You are worthy of being my disciple. I will deal with the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Three Immortals Sect. I'll leave Lin Yan and the others to you. Did you break through your bottleneck during this mission?"

"Thanks to my mentor, the bottleneck has been loosened."

Chu Buyu said respectfully.

She was stuck at a bottleneck, so Song Lianyue gave her a task to hone her skills, hoping to use this opportunity to break through the bottleneck.

"That's good. I hope you can overcome this bottleneck. Go back and cultivate! By the way, don't spread what happened in the Secret Realm. It's not good for too many people to know. I will send someone to find that cultivator surnamed Long."

Song Lianyue gave the instructions.

"Yes, Master, I obey."

Chu Buyu agreed and turned to leave.

Song Lianyue took out Communication Disk that shimmered with silver light, cast a spell, and a respectful female voice sounded, "Master, someone has spread the news that Junior Sister Chu has obtained the inheritance of the Five Dragons Sect and also acquired a Spirit Treasure."

Do you know who leaked the information?

Song Lianyue asked.

"I don't know, it happened very suddenly, and it's already spread Outer Sea."

The woman said.

"Hmph, the thief cries 'stop thief!' This was done by the Three Immortals Sect. They spread the word that Three Immortals Sect disciples obtained Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure in the Five Dragons Secret Realm."

Song Lianyue gave the instructions.

"What? Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure? The Five Dragons Sect possesses Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure?"

The woman exclaimed in surprise.

"Whether it's true or not is unimportant; what I want is for the outside world to spread this message, understand?"

Song Lianyue gave the instructions.

"Yes, disciple understands."

The woman agreed.

Song Lianyue put away the Communication Disk, her face turning cold. She muttered to herself, "Do you really think you can manipulate our Sun and Moon Palace at will just because we don't have any Spirit Transformation cultivators? You've miscalculated."

······

Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace was bustling with people and vehicles, creating a lively atmosphere.

Shen Long strolled along the street, looking around.

He visited several spirit medicine, purchased some spirit medicine and three sets of Third-Order Array, and returned to the Green Falcon Pavilion.

He entered a secret room and sat down cross-legged.

Looking back on this trip to the Secret Realm realm, Shen Long was filled with emotion.

He hadn't expected to find the follow-up Cultivation Method so quickly. In fact, his Spirit Beast Spirit Bird Spirit Insect all played a huge role, especially the Spirit-Tracking Beast. If it hadn't been for its warning, Shen Long wouldn't have been able to find Lu Qian.

Without the Ice Flood Dragon, Chu Buyu would not easily hand over the complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>.

The cultivation resources in the North Sea Cultivation World are abundant, so he has no plans to return to the East Hua Cultivation World for the time being.

He entered the Spirit Control Tower and arrived at the third floor.

He released the Tree Man and instructed it, "You are free to move around here, but do not damage the spirit medicine and Spirit Wood."

"Yes, Master."

The Tree Man agreed and moved into the distance.

Shen Long arrived at a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, where not a single blade of grass grew.

He summoned the Green Lotus Bottle and cast a spell upon it.

A beam of azure light shot out from the Green Lotus Bottle, from which the Golden Thunder Bamboo flew out and landed on the ground.

He transplanted the Golden Thunder Bamboo to the ground, and the Tree Man came over.

"Master, is this Spirit Bamboo very important?"

The Tree Man spoke, asking a question.

"It's extremely important. Keep a close eye on this Golden Thunder Bamboo here."

Shen Long gave the order.

"Clear."

The Tree Man agreed.

Shen Long took out the Formation Flag Formation Disk plate to set up the array. After setting up the Formation, he cast a rain spell on the Golden Thunder Bamboo, and then cast a spell on the Formation Disk. A flash of green light appeared, and a thick Cyan Light Screen appeared, covering the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

The Cyan Wood Nourishing Origin Formation is an auxiliary Formation primarily used to cultivate high-level spirit medicine Spirit Wood.

Shen Long purchased three sets of Cyan Wood Nourishing Origin Formation in one go to cultivate Golden Thunder Bamboo, Blood Snake Fruit Tree, and Spirit Infant Fruit Tree.

He transplanted the Blood Snake Fruit Tree and the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree to two other valleys, placed the Spirit Eye Spring next to the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree, built a pool near the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree, poured in a large amount of Heaven Soul True Water, placed two Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus in the pool, and transplanted the Monster Luring Grass into a Flowerpot Dharma Artifact.

He released the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Golden-Winged Wind Peng, ordering them not to approach the Blood Snake Fruit Tree, the Golden Thunder Bamboo, and the Spirit Infant Fruit, and fed each of them a Beast Rearing Pill.

He left the Spirit Control Tower, closed his eyes to rest, and meditated to regulate his breathing.

A quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes, flicked his sleeve, and the Crimson Crow Cauldron flew out and landed in front of him.

He took out the alchemy materials and began refining the Blood Flood Dragon Pill.

He obtained a bottle of Third-Rank Flood Dragon Essence Blood at the Auction, and two more bottles of Essence Blood from slaying the Ice Flood Dragon. He refined the three bottles of Essence Blood into Blood Flood Dragon Pill, which was enough for him to cultivate to the ninth level.

He opened his mouth and spewed out Red Lotus True Flame, which landed at the bottom of the Crimson Crow Cauldron, causing the temperature in the room to rise rapidly.

······

Three Immortals Island, Three Immortals Sect.

In a secluded manor, Jiang Yan and a burly man in a golden shirt sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"It's understandable that Nephew Lin and the others attacked Chu Buyu for the sake of the Spirit Treasure Spirit Treasure. Not only did they fail to obtain it, but Chu Buyu also escaped. She has already returned to Star-Moon Marketplace and is probably on Sun and Moon Island now. Sun and Moon Palace is, after all, one of the eight major forces in the North Sea Cultivation World. Sun and Moon Palace won't just let this go."

The burly man in the golden robe frowned and said.

Qin Biao, Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Chu Buyu is no ordinary Core Formation Cultivator; he is a candidate to become the next Moon Palace Master.

"We've already offended them. Even if we kill Nephew Lin, the Sun and Moon Palace won't let it go. At worst, we can join the Heaven Ghost Sect. The Sun and Moon Palace and the Heaven Ghost Sect are mortal enemies. The Sun and Moon Palace doesn't have any Spirit Transformation cultivators right now, and I don't believe they'll start a war for Chu Buyu."

Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.

"No matter what, the Sun and Moon Palace is not to be underestimated. They have Spirit Treasure, while we don't. If we really fight, we are no match for them. I'll contact Fellow Daoist Xu of the Heaven Ghost Sect!"

Qin Biao said in a deep voice.

"This is the only way. Chu Buyu is still alive, so that Core Formation Cultivator with the Third Rank Ice Flood Dragon must also be alive. Don't let me find that person, or I will definitely extract his soul and refine his spirit."

Jiang Yan's face was filled with murderous intent.

······

Three years passed quickly.

In Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace, the streets were teeming with people. Song He stood at the entrance of the Green Falcon Pavilion, his brows furrowed.

After a while, the door to the Green Falcon Pavilion opened, and Shen Long came out.

He refined many Blood Flood Dragon Pill and Beast Rearing Pill, and cultivated on the third level of the Spirit Control Tower.

He cultivated near the Spirit Eye Spring, and his cultivation speed increased considerably; he is currently at the Core Formation Mid Stage.

He had just left the Cultivation Room when he saw Song He Hefa's Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you've finally come out. Would it be convenient for us to come in and have a chat?"

Song He said sincerely.

Shen Long smiled slightly, nodded, invited Song He inside, and closed the door.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, our third brother was seriously injured while we were hunting Demon Beast at sea. I would like to purchase High-Grade Medicinal Pill from you, is that alright?"

Song He asked, looking at Shen Long with anticipation.

He knew very well that Shen Long was not lacking in ordinary things, Song He would not be able to obtain good items in a short period of time, as major powers would not easily sell Third Rank pills.

"Fellow Daoist Song, are you brothers? Why do you care so much about Fellow Daoist Huang?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"No, we are sworn brothers! Heaven and earth bear witness, for so many years, we have worked together to hunt demonic Demon Beast, and risked our lives together. If it weren't for my third brother risking his life to save me back then, I would have died long ago."

Song He said solemnly.

"What injury did he suffer?"

Shen Long asked.

"My soul has been injured! I need a soul-healing pill, but such pills are rare on the market, let alone High-Grade Medicinal Pill. Fellow Daoist Shen, please lend me your help. I will be eternally grateful. If you ever need my help again, I will do my utmost."

Song He knelt down, his expression solemn.

"Fellow Daoist Song, please rise quickly, you mustn't."

Shen Long quickly helped Song He up, his face showing admiration.

To become sworn brothers, Song He set aside his dignity and knelt before Shen Long, showing how much Song He valued Huang Yong as his sworn brother.

"How are you, Fellow Daoist Huang? What kind of Demon Beast injured you?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"My third brother is currently unconscious. He was injured by a mid-stage Third Rank- tier Ghost Dove. The four of us siblings have split up to search for elixirs to heal our soul injuries. Fellow Daoist Shen, I know you are Divine Ability powerful, but please help me. I truly have no other choice."

Song He pleaded.

"Third Rank Ghost Dove! This kind of Demon Bird is quite rare."

Shen Long suddenly realized.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Take me to Fellow Daoist Huang's residence. I'll examine his injuries in person so I can prescribe the appropriate treatment."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen, please follow me."

Song He expressed his gratitude and led Shen Long to a secluded Blue-tiled Courtyard blue tiles. Inside the courtyard stood a three-story blue pavilion and a Cyan Stone Pavilion.

Shen Long followed Song He into a secret room, where Huang Yong lay on a Cyan Stone Bed, his face pale and his eyes closed.

Shen Long examined him carefully and found that Huang Yong's soul had indeed been severely damaged.

He took out a Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Pill, his face showing reluctance, and put it into Huang Yong's mouth, then, along with the spiritual water, sent it into his stomach.

"Contact me again in a month, and I will treat him again. This is a one-time exception. You should know how precious this kind of medicine is; I don't have many left."

Shen Long said seriously.

This time, Shen Long admired Song He's feelings for his sworn brother and offered his help, but he couldn't keep helping them forever.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen. This is what we obtained from hunting Demon Beast. You can have it all! I know it's not enough, and I will find a way to repay you in the future."

Song He expressed his gratitude, took out a Golden Storage Bag, and handed it to Shen Long.
