Returning to the Spirit Control Sect
The East Hua Cultivation World, the Dai Kingdom.
The Qiyun Mountain Range are located in the northwest of the Dai Kingdom, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with towering peaks and ancient trees.
A streak of Cyan Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped abruptly.
The Escape Light vanished, revealing a cyan flying boat over ten zhang long. A Green-Robed Maiden and a girl in a red dress with beautiful features stood on the cyan flying boat. Both of them had a musical note pattern on their sleeves, which was the symbol of the Heavenly Sound Sect.
"According to intelligence, the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox is here."
The girl in the red dress said.
The Green-Robed Maiden made a hand seal, and the green flying boat flew towards the depths of the mountains at a very fast speed.
A short while later, three enormous Thunder Cloud appeared ahead, far apart, accompanied by Thunder Cloud of lightning and thunder. Thick bolts of silver lightning struck down, heading straight for the ground.
A tall Blue-Shirted Youth stood atop a high peak; it was Shen Long.
After being teleported back to the Inner Sea, he continued to teleport back to the East Hua Cultivation World, heading towards the Qin Kingdom.
As they passed by, three Golden-Winged Fire Ant attempted to reach the Third Rank.
"Spirit Control Sect! Fellow Daoist Shen."
The girl in the red dress recognized Shen Long.
"Oh, Fairy Jiang!"
Shen Long let out a soft "Eh."
The girl in the red dress is named Jiang Feng. She comes from the Heavenly Sound Sect. When he was hunting Third-Rank Flood Dragon in the Jiang Kingdom, he met many Core Formation Cultivator, and Jiang Feng was one of them.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, have you encountered a Three-Tailed Spirit Fox?"
Jiang Feng said.
"Three-Tailed Spirit Fox? No!"
Shen Long shook his head.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The Green-Robed Maiden made a hand seal, and the green flying boat flew away into the distance, quickly disappearing from sight.
Shen Long didn't take it seriously and continued to Dharma Protector the Golden-Winged Fire Ant.
A deafening roar of thunder resounded, accompanied by flashes of lightning. Thick streaks of silver lightning ripped through the sky, striking the Golden-Winged Fire Ant below. The blinding silver light engulfed the Golden-Winged Fire Ant.
Half an hour passed, and two Golden-Winged Fire Ant had completed their Lightning Tribulation and advanced to the Third Rank, while one Golden-Winged Fire Ant was still undergoing its tribulation.
Shen Long frowned. His Divine Sense detected a powerful aura rushing towards them, and he could vaguely hear a cheerful zither tune.
He patted a yellow Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and a beam of yellow light flew out from it—it was the Iron Tail Scorpion.
The Iron Tail Scorpion emitted a bright yellow light as it disappeared into the ground.
Not long after, the ground exploded open, and a white fox with three tails flew out from underground.
Shen Long raised his right hand, and a net shimmering with red light flew out, heading straight for the white fox.
Just as the white fox was about to dodge, a sharp, piercing screech rang out. Its head sank, and by the time it came to its senses, a red net had already covered it and was tightening quickly.
The white fox struggled violently, tearing at the red net, but to no avail.
A blue flying boat flew in from a distance, then stopped in a flash; it was Jiang Feng and his companion.
"Little sister Xu Yinyin, we have come here for these three Spirit Fox. We would like to ask Fellow Daoist Shen for a favor. As compensation, we would like to offer Fellow Daoist Shen these two Demon Core of Third Rank Spirit Ant."
As the Green-Robed Maiden spoke, she took out a Cyan Jade Box and tossed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long caught the Cyan Jade Box, opened it, and found two golden Demon Core cores inside.
With a flick of his wrist, the red net opened, and the white fox tried to escape, but a Cyan Rope shot out and bound it.
Xu Yinyin produced a Talisman that shimmered with Zhang Qing and affixed it to the white fox, causing the white fox to become listless.
She pulled on the Cyan Rope, dragging the white fox back into the blue flying boat.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen."
Xu Yinyin expressed her gratitude.
"It's nothing, just a small favor."
Shen Long said nonchalantly.
"We have other matters to attend to, so we won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
Xu Yinyin made a hand seal, and the cyan flying boat flew away into the distance, leaving this place.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared as Lightning Tribulation struck down.
A quarter of an hour later, the Lightning Tribulation ended, and the last Golden-Winged Fire Ant advanced to the Third Rank.
Shen Long fed it a Beast Rearing Pill and then put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag.
He patted a White Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and Snow Wind Sparrow flew out and landed in front of him.
Shen Long walked onto the Snow Wind Sparrow's back, and the Snow Wind Sparrow gently flapped its wings, flying into the sky.
Before long, the Snow Wind Sparrow disappeared into the horizon.
More than half a year later, Shen Long returned to the Spirit Control Sect.
He arrived at Ice Silkworm Valley and sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.
Not long after, Chen Bing came out.
"Junior Brother Shen, you're back."
Chen Bing said with a smile.
"Senior sister, has Master not emerged from seclusion yet? Where is senior brother?!"
Shen Long asked.
"Master is still in seclusion, and Senior Brother has not yet returned from his travels."
Chen Bing said, then, as if remembering something, she casually asked, "Junior brother, where did you go? Did you run into any trouble?"
"No, I went to the North Sea Cultivation World to hunt Demon Beast and only returned today."
Shen Long took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to Chen Bing, saying, "Senior Sister, these are some little things I brought back from the North Sea Cultivation World. Please don't find them offensive."
Chen Bing took the Storage Bag, scanned it with her Divine Sense, and exclaimed in surprise, "This is too valuable!"
"They're just some Law Artifact, nothing to me. Senior Sister, please don't stand on ceremony with me. You're tired from handling all the affairs for Master."
Shen Long said.
"Alright then! I won't stand on ceremony, thanks, Junior Brother Shen."
Chen Bing thanked him and accepted the Storage Bag.
After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Long left and arrived at a magnificent, towering Sky-Supporting Peak. Halfway up the mountain was a vast manor with a plaque bearing the three large silver characters "Golden Dawn Garden," the residence of the Sect Master, Chen Xiao.
He sent a Sound Transmission Talisman, and soon the door opened, a Seven-Colored Parrot flew out, speaking in human language, "Uncle-Master Shen, please follow me."
After saying this, the Seven-Colored Parrot flew into Golden Dawn Garden, Shen Long followed it in.
After passing through several arched courtyards, Shen Long arrived at a secluded bamboo courtyard. Inside the courtyard was a Cyan Bamboo Pavilion, where Chen Xiao was sitting and sipping tea.
"Junior Brother Shen, it's been a long time! Congratulations on advancing to the Core Formation Mid Stage!"
Chen Xiao sensed Shen Long's powerful aura and offered his congratulations.
Shen Long smiled calmly, walked to the bamboo pavilion, sat down, took the teacup Chen Xiao handed him, took a sip of Spirit Tea, and said, "Senior Brother Chen, I've acquired something good."
He took out a Golden Jade Slip and handed it to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao scanned it with his Divine Sense, gasped, and exclaimed in surprise, "The complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>! Junior Brother Shen, how did you get your hands on it?"
"I obtained it by chance while traveling in the North Sea Cultivation World."
Shen Long said.
According to the rules of the Spirit Control Sect Spirit Control Sect, disciples who obtain Cultivation Method Secret Manual or secret manuals can receive Merit Points by handing them over to the sect. In addition, the handover recipient can access the submitted manuals for free for life.
He can gain a large amount of Merit Points by handing over the "Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique," and in addition, he can access the "Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique" for free for life. Naturally, he would choose to maximize his benefits.
"Come with me to Uncle-Master Liu's residence, and we'll report to Uncle-Master Liu together! You've done a great service."
Chen Xiao said excitedly.
Shen Long nodded and followed Chen Xiao to Liu Zi'an's residence, where they met Liu Zi'an without any problems.
Upon learning that Shen Long had obtained the complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>, Liu Zi'an was overjoyed and praised, "Excellent, Nephew Shen! Nephew Chen, grant Nephew Shen a large sum of Merit Points; he can access this Cultivation Method for free for life."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master Liu."
Shen Long expressed his gratitude.
"This is what you deserve. We won't ask how you got it. We'll keep it a secret for you. At most, the outside world will know that we have this Cultivation Method, but they won't know who got it."
Liu Zi'an said, a look of approval on his face.
The Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique Divine Ability considerable Cultivation Method, but due to its incompleteness, few cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect Cultivation Method it.
Shen Long wholeheartedly agreed, and he didn't want the outside world to know that he had obtained the complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>.
"You've worked hard, go back and rest! Your master has raised a good disciple."
Liu Zi'an said.
"Yes, Uncle-Master Liu."
Shen Long agreed and turned to leave.
"Uncle-Master Liu has such discerning eyes, I admire him greatly. Junior Brother Shen actually managed to obtain the complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>, I wonder how he got his hands on it, he must have suffered a lot."
Chen Xiao sighed.
Liu Zi'an nodded and said, "It's a pity that there aren't any extra spots for the 9 Prodigies 9 Prodigies, otherwise we could have included him as one of them. It's alright, we can increase our training efforts."
"Yes, Uncle-Master Liu."
Liu Zi'an agreed.
Shen Long had just returned to Golden Roc Garden when he saw Lin Shan.
"Uncle-Master Shen, you're back."
Lin Shan's face lit up with joy, and he bowed respectfully.
"How are Junior Nephew Qian and the others? Are they all alright?"
Shen Long asked.
"Thanks to Uncle-Master Shen's good fortune, they are all well."
Lin Shan said with a smile.
Shen Long can refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill and has unlimited potential, so naturally no one in the Shen Long Spirit Control Sect would go against him.
Shen Long asked about the situation of Lin Shan and the others over the years, and Lin Shan answered truthfully.
Lin Shan got married and had children, as did Qian Dafu. Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang are devoted to the Dao and are currently at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage.
"Contact them and tell them I'm back. I'm hosting a banquet at Golden Roc Garden tonight to entertain them. You'll be in charge of organizing the banquet."
Shen Long gave the order, took out a Flying Dagger that shimmered with yellow light, handed it to Lin Shan, and said, "This Top-Grade Dharma Artifact is for you; it's a gift for your son."
This Top-Grade Dharma Artifact was seized from an enemy; it was completely useless to him, so it was perfect to give it to Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
"Thank you, Uncle-Master Shen."
Lin Shan was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
Shen Long gave him a few instructions and then told him to get on with his work.
He entered the Golden Roc Pavilion and went to the Cultivation Room.
During his trip to the North Sea, Shen Long found the complete <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique> and obtained a large amount of cultivation resources, the most precious of which was the spiritual treasure, the Spirit Treasure Green Lotus Bottle.
Shen Long met many Core Formation Cultivator in the North Sea and truly understood how abundant the demon Demon Beast resources were in the North Sea Cultivation World world. There were not many Tier Third-Rank Spirit Beast in the Qin Kingdom. Once Third-Rank Spirit Beast appeared in the Qin Kingdom, it would either be killed or subdued by high-level cultivators.
In the North Sea Cultivation World, Third-Rank Spirit Beast are as numerous as hairs on a cow, and Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast are not uncommon either.
He sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
