"Senior Brother Xu has gone out on business and hasn't returned yet. Fairy Xu is proficient in Musical Rhythm, and Musical Rhythm is very effective against Barbarian Race."

Wu Yong said with a smile, his gaze falling on Xu Yinyin.

"That's true in theory, but the Barbarian Race can't just stand there and let me play music."

Xu Yinyin said.

The Sound Cultivator possesses considerable Divine Ability, but the casting time is rather long.

"Fairy Xu, I've heard that your Heavenly Sound Sect has a combined attack Cultivation Method that allows multiple people to fight together. Divine Ability's quite powerful, and with multiple people working together, things should be better."

Lin Qing said.

"That Combined Attack Art requires five cultivators to work together, and only those who have cultivated that Combined Attack Art Cultivation Method perform Combined Attack Art. It's not something that just any five Sound Cultivator can do."

Xu Yinyin explained.

"Combined Attack Art!"

Shen Long's heart stirred. He had long heard that the Heavenly Sound Sect had a combined attack Cultivation Method that required five cultivators to practice together. This Cultivation Method could unleash a powerful Combined Attack Art.

Xu Yinyin's gaze fell on Wang Yueyue, and she said, "Fairy Wang, I heard that your cousin has a powerful physical body and can fight against Third-Rank Spirit Beast with his physical strength without being at a disadvantage."

"That's true. However, the Barbarian Race possess the bloodline of Ancient Giant, and their physical bodies are incredibly powerful. My Barbarian Race might not be able to defeat a Barbarian Race cultivator of the same level in a contest of physical strength. We Human Race are better at alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and array formation than the Barbarian Race. These are our strengths, so there's no need to abandon our strengths and compete with the Barbarian Race in physical strength."

Wang Yueyue said.

"What Fairy Wang said is right. We should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. The strength of the Barbarian Race lies in their physical strength, while we Human Race are better at cultivating Hundred Arts of Cultivation. We should make the most of our strengths."

Chen Na wholeheartedly agreed.

After chatting for more than an hour, Wu Yong suggested exchanging materials, and Shen Long and the others did not refuse.

Wu Yong took out a lot of Monster Beast Material, including three tortoise shells, and said, "I'll exchange them for high-level Demon Beast Essence Soul, or materials of equal value."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, how about I trade two high-grade Dragon Transformation Pill for those three tortoise shells?"

Shen Long transmitted his voice and took out a Cyan Jade Box.

He used the Demon Core of Third Rank Fire Flood Dragon to refine some Dragon Transformation Pill, which the Ice Flood Dragon couldn't use, so he could exchange them with others.

Wu Yong took the jade box, opened it, glanced at it, nodded, and agreed to the exchange.

The cultivators took out items to exchange one after another: Demon Core, spirit medicine, Spirit Wood, and so on—all valuable items. What they wanted to exchange was extraordinary.

Ye Hongyao took out more than ten kinds of Third Rank pills, wanting to exchange them for the Crystal Core of a high-level Wood Demon.

"Fairy Ye, how about I trade you a bottle of Vajra Bone Tempering Pill for a bottle of Blood Ganoderma Body-Forging Pill? The Vajra Bone Tempering Pill is also Body-Forging Pill."

Shen Long took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Ye Hongyao.

If you take too much of a certain kind of pill, you will develop drug resistance. At this time, you need to switch to a different kind of pill. Alchemist will exchange pills with each other.

Like the Vajra Bone Blood Ganoderma Body-Forging Pill Vajra Bone Tempering Pill can enhance physical strength.

Ye Hongyao readily agreed, accepted the Cyan Porcelain Bottle, picked up a Golden Porcelain Bottle, and handed it to Shen Long.

When it was Shen Long's turn, Shen Long took out several Third Rank pills, but not the Seven-Star Soul-Nourishing Pill.

He wanted to exchange for the Demon Core of Third Rank demon roc, or a high-grade Green Wind Grass.

"Dragon Transformation Pill! Fellow Daoist Shen, how about I trade you a late -Third Rank Green Wind Peng's Demon Core for a bottle of Dragon Transformation Pill?"

Ye Hongyao transmitted her voice.

"Only one? The Dragon Transformation Pill is no ordinary pill. Its main ingredient is the Demon Core of Third-Rank Flood Dragon. Do you know how difficult it is to kill a Third-Rank Flood Dragon?"

Shen Long frowned.

"How about this? Add two 700-year-old Green Wind Grass and a mid-stage Third Rank- tier Green Wind Peng Demon Core, is that alright?"

Ye Hongyao said.

After a moment's thought, Shen Long agreed. It seemed that Ye Hongyao was raising Demon Python with the bloodline of Flood Dragon.

After the exchange was completed and they chatted for a while, Shen Long and the others left one after another to go home.

Back at his residence, Shen Long went into the Cultivation Room and sat cross-legged on a Cyan Prayer Mat.

He took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and poured out a Blood-Colored Pill with nine Pill Pattern on its surface.

Blood Ganoderma Body-Forging Pill!

Shen Long put the Blood Ganoderma Body-Forging Pill into his mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a strong, bloody taste spread throughout his mouth.

Not long after, he felt his body heat up, and a huge energy rose in his abdomen.

He quickly circulated his internal energy to refine it, guiding it towards his Dantian.

······

The Hundred Ghosts Garden is a secluded courtyard with black-tiled roofs.

True Man Profound Yin and Chen Chi were sitting around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.

"He's also come to the front lines. With his alchemy skills, he should be in charge of alchemy and won't need to fight with the Barbarian Race cultivators."

Chen Chi frowned and said.

He is currently in the Core Formation Mid Stage, which is a normal cultivation speed and not particularly fast.

"He might not take the Xu Family seriously. Don't confront him directly. Treat him like a stranger and keep your distance. To be honest, I don't want to offend a Core Formation Core Formation Cultivator."

True Man Profound Yin frowned and said.

"That's what my grandson thinks too, but the decision isn't in our hands. Who knows if he'll keep bringing it up?"

Chen Chi sighed.

Shen Long ranked eighth in the alchemy competition at the Pill Convention. They were all wary of Shen Long and didn't want to offend Shen Long. The question now is, Shen Long really not care? Besides, there are also conflicts between the Zhao Kingdom and Qin Kingdom, which are subject to their individual wills.

"Let's see how things go! It would be best not to offend this person, but it also depends on the development of our Hundred Ghosts Sect. If our Hundred Ghosts Sect becomes stronger, then we naturally won't need to take him seriously."

"True Man Profound Yin said in a deep voice."

In the cultivation Immortal Realm, strength is the ultimate measure, and the relationship between the Hundred Ghosts Sect and the Spirit Control Sect has always been strained.

Chen Chi nodded and said, "With our cooperation with the Heaven Ghost Sect and Heaven Ghost Sect support, our future development will definitely be better than that of the Spirit Control Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Lin is also in Barbarian-Resisting City. If we cultivate a good relationship with him, it will be helpful for our future Dao Path. At the very least, it will bring us considerable convenience when traveling to the North Sea Cultivation World."

True Man Profound Yin gave instructions.

Chen Chi nodded and agreed.

······

A month passed quickly, at Spirit Control Garden and Golden Roc Courtyard.

The door to the Cultivation Room opened, and Shen Long walked out. He had taken the Blood Ganoderma Body-Forging Pill, which further enhanced his physical body.

He took out a red Communication Disk, cast a spell, and Qian Dafu's voice rang out. "Uncle-Master Shen, what are your orders?"

"Has the war not started yet?"

Shen Long asked.

"Not yet, but quite a few high-level cultivators have arrived this month and gathered in Barbarian-Resisting City. The barbarian Barbarian Race have also mobilized a lot of manpower. A few days ago, a patrol team encountered a Barbarian Race patrol team in the wild, and the two sides fought fiercely. We captured two Barbarian Race cultivators, but the specific details are unknown."

Qian Dafu reported.

Have Core Formation Cultivator contacted me recently?

Shen Long asked.

"Yes, Fairy Yuyang from the Mystic Yang Sect is looking for you. She wants to buy pills from you and is offering Third Rank Spirit Water in exchange."

Qian Dafu said.

"Contact her and bring her to my place. I'll talk to her in detail."

Shen Long gave the order.

"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen."

Qian Dafu agreed.

Shen Long gave a few instructions, put away the Communication Disk, and left.

He went into the stone pavilion, took out tea leaves and teaware, and brewed tea.

He brewed the Spirit Tea and waited quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, Qian Dafu led Fairy Yuyang in.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's great to finally meet you."

Fairy Yuyang spoke in a warm tone.

Shen Long gestured for Fairy Yuyang to sit down, Qian Dafu tactfully withdrew.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, this is Azure Moon Spirit Water. I'd like to exchange it for two bottles of High-Grade Medicinal Pill. What do you say?"

Fairy Yuyang took out a blue gourd and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long uncorked the bottle, and a surge of pure wood Spiritual Qi burst forth.

"These are two bottles of Gold Ganoderma Pill!"

Shen Long took out two Cyan Porcelain Bottle and handed them to Fairy Yuyang.

Azure Moon Spirit Water is used to cultivate spirit medicine and fruits, which greatly helps their growth. If used to water spiritual fruit trees, it can increase the number of fruits produced.

Fairy Yuyang uncorked the bottle, poured out the pills inside, and nodded in satisfaction after confirming that everything was correct.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I've heard so much about you..."

Before Fairy Yuyang could finish speaking, a loud alarm sounded, echoing throughout the entire Barbarian-Resisting City.

"High-level cultivators without missions, proceed to the city walls immediately! The Barbarian Race high-level cultivators have been mobilized."

A loud male voice came from the horizon.

Shen Long looked excited; he could finally fight the Barbarian Race cultivators. Fairy Yuyang frowned slightly.

"Let's go up to the city wall!"

Shen Long said this and strode out, with Fairy Yuyang following behind.

They arrived at the city wall and saw a large number of high-level cultivators. Looking out of the city, they could see a large group of Barbarian Race cultivators, many of whom were riding on the backs of Barbarian Race Spirit Beast or Spirit Bird, densely packed together.

Shen Long looked around and his gaze fell on a tall man in a blue robe next to Ye Sen.

The man in the blue robe had regular features and carried an exquisite Cyan Sword Case on his back; his aura was unfathomable.

"Senior Lu!"

Someone recognized the man in the blue robe.

The man in the blue robe was named Lu Qingshan, Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. He had once killed two Nascent Soul Realm stage Barbarian Race, making him famous throughout the East Hua Cultivation World.

"It's wonderful that Senior Lu is in command of this battle."

"That's right, with Senior Lu in command, we're sure to win."

"I wonder if Senior Lu will make a move and kill a few more Nascent Soul Realm Barbarian Race cultivators."

······

The cultivators discussed among themselves, their words filled with respect for Lu Qingshan.
