The Barbarian Race's Attention (No More Today)

Shen Long put away the Communication Disk and walked out.

He sat down in the stone pavilion, took out tea leaves and teaware, and brewed tea.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Qian Dafu brought Ye Hongyao in.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you injured? Why haven't you shown yourself for months?"

Ye Hongyao asked curiously.

"No, I'm refining Third-Order Spirit Flame. I heard that Fairy Ye was looking for me. May I ask what advice Fairy Ye may have for me?"

Shen Long smiled and poured Ye Hongyao a cup of Spirit Tea from the teapot.

Qian Dafu tactfully withdrew, leaving Ye Hongyao and Shen Long alone.

"I was originally planning to buy Third-Order Spirit Flame from you, but I don't need to now."

Ye Hongyao explained, took a sip of tea, and praised, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you True Person a hidden master! I never imagined you were not only proficient in alchemy, but also Divine Ability abilities."

"Fairy Ye is no weakling either; I was merely lucky."

Shen Long said modestly.

"A fluke? Fellow Daoist Shen is too modest. How many fellow Daoists are fortunate enough to kill five Core Formation Cultivator?"

Ye Hongyao smiled wryly.

"By the way, I heard that in the past three months, the Barbarian Race have fought many battles with us, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many fellow cultivators."

Shen Long changed the subject.

"Yes! Many fellow cultivators have perished, and several of my fellow disciples have also fallen. Fairy Xu and her five companions joined forces and used Combined Attack Art to kill a Barbarian Race at the Great Perfection of Core Formation. Madam Lin was severely injured by a curse cast by the Witch Clan."

Ye Hongyao spoke slowly.

"What? The Witch Clan? Witch Clan cultivators have joined the war?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

How did the Witch Clan, living in the Southern Border Cultivation World, participate in the great war between the Barbarian Race and the Human Race?

"The Barbarian Race and the Witch Clan are quite close, so it's not surprising to see some Witch Clan cultivators on the battlefield. Among them is a Witch Clan cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm. The Barbarian Race reinforcements have arrived. Currently, they have mobilized Ten Great Tribes to fight us, with eight large tribes as reserves. Of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the East Hua Cultivation World, eighteen have mobilized their forces."

Ye Hongyao explained.

Shen Long suddenly realized and said, "I thought the Witch Clan had mobilized in full force, but only some of the Witch Clan cultivators were helping the Barbarian Race. That's nothing to worry about."

"The Witch Clan's spells are still quite troublesome and should not be underestimated. Several fellow cultivators have tragically fallen victim to the Witch Clan cultivators."

Ye Hongyao said.

Most cultivators in the East Hua Cultivation World have little interaction with the Witch Clan Witch Clan cultivators and lack experience in dealing with them. When Witch Clan cultivators appear on the battlefield, some Human Race customs become disadvantageous.

Shen Long inquired about the Witch Clan's methods of fighting enemies, Ye Hongyao told him the truth.

"Fellow Daoist Liu severely injured a Witch Clan cultivator. The Witch Clan cultivator used himself as a medium to cast a spell, perishing together with Fellow Daoist Liu."

Ye Hongyao said solemnly.

"Can all Witch Clan spells kill the enemy together?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"No, that's not it. I've heard it's one of the Five Great Curses. Once you're hit by one, you're guaranteed to die. The Five Great Curses have a long casting time and strict limitations. That's what the casting of the Five Great Curses is all about."

Ye Hongyao took out a Golden Jade Slip and handed it to Shen Long.

"Fairy Ye, where did you get this?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Several fellow cultivators from the Southern Border Cultivation World are also on the front lines. This is what they sent out; it has already been copied multiple times and spread."

Ye Hongyao explained.

Shen Long suddenly realized what was happening and put away the Golden Jade Slip.

After chatting for half an hour, Ye Hongyao took her leave.

Shen Long left the Spirit Control Garden and strolled around the streets.

He appeared on the bustling street, and many monks greeted him.

As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat, "Shen Long's fame has spread far and wide Barbarian-Resisting City.

After a short while, Shen Long appeared in the General Affairs Hall, where many cultivators were coming and going.

Shen Long went inside and saw many cultivators exchanging resources.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you here to exchange Merit Points?"

Qi Shan said enthusiastically and walked over quickly.

Shen Long nodded and took out five corpses of Barbarian Race cultivators and a golden Round Token.

The front of the token is inscribed with the words "Refuse the Barbarians," while the back displays the five large characters "Shen Long of the Spirit Control Sect."

Qi Shan took out a golden Dharma Disk and placed the Round Token on it. The golden Golden Dharma Disk Golden Dharma Disk lit up with a dazzling golden light, engulfing the Dharma Disk.

He returned the token to Shen Long and said, "What resources does Fellow Daoist Shen intend to exchange for? Here is the catalog."

He took out a shimmering silver Dharma Disk and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long took the silver Dharma Disk and glanced at it. There were written records on it, showing a lot of resources, and corresponding Merit Points were also listed next to it.

With his current Merit Points, exchanging for a Law Treasure is not a problem.

Shen Long examined it carefully and found that it contained Third-Rank Spirit Fire, but the required Merit Points were an astronomical figure.

Besides Third-Rank Spirit Fire, there are also High-Grade Medicinal Pill, Third-Order Talisman Soldier, Third Rank Puppet Beast, and so on.

Shen Long saw many good things, but he couldn't contribute enough Merit Points, so he had to give up.

He returned the Dharma Disk to Qi Shan, saying, "My Merit Points are not enough; I'll come again later!"

He left the General Affairs Hall and began to stroll through the streets.

He visited several large shops and bought some refining materials and spirit medicine. He encountered many Core Formation Cultivator on the way, and they all greeted Shen Long, but Shen Long did not recognize most of them.

An hour later, Shen Long arrived at the Bluestone Square where the Rogue Cultivator cultivators had set up their stalls and strolled around to take a look.

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

A familiar female voice rang out.

Shen Long looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mu Weiwei walking towards him.

"Fairy Mu, what are you doing here?"

Shen Long asked in surprise.

He attended the Medicine King Assembly, and Mu Weiwei was there too; now he's participating in the Great Battle, and Mu Weiwei is there as well.

"With such a huge business opportunity arising from the war between Human Race and Barbarian Race, I had to come. Fellow Daoist Shen, your Divine Ability are truly remarkable! I've only been in Barbarian-Resisting City for a short time, and many friends have already mentioned you."

Mu Weiwei's face was full of admiration.

She had initially thought Shen Long was only skilled in alchemy, but she hadn't expected Shen Long to be so powerful.

"You flatter me, Fairy Mu. By the way, have you acquired anything good?"

Shen Long asked.

Mu Weiwei took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Shen Long, saying in a telepathic voice, "Spirit Forging Pill! It can increase Divine Sense. Fellow Daoist Shen, commanding so many Golden-Winged Fire Ant must have consumed a considerable amount of Divine Sense!"

"What does Fairy Mu want?"

Shen Long asked telepathically.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, just bring High-Grade Medicinal Pill to exchange for it."

Mu Weiwei said.

"This is the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill, which can strengthen the physical body."

Shen Long took out a Golden Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Mu Weiwei.

Mu Weiwei nodded and accepted the Golden Porcelain Bottle.

After chatting for a while, Shen Long said goodbye and left. He wandered around the square for a bit, but failed to find anything he wanted. He then left the Bluestone Square and returned to the Spirit Control Garden.

He had just returned to the Spirit Control Garden when Lin Sisi walked towards him. Lin Sisi had already advanced to the Golden Core Realm, but was only at the early stage.

"Junior Brother Shen, it's been a long time."

Lin Sisi greeted Shen Long.

"Long time no see! Congratulations on the Golden Core Realm, Senior Sister Lin!"

Shen Long offered his congratulations.

"Compared to Junior Brother Shen, I'm far inferior. By the way, Uncle-Master Liu is looking for you. Go to Uncle-Master Liu residence!"

Lin Sisi said.

"Okay, we'll talk later."

Shen Long said goodbye and parted ways with Lin Sisi.

He arrived at the entrance of a Blue-tiled Courtyard, and was about to send Sound Transmission Talisman when Liu Zi'an's voice rang out. "Nephew Shen, there's no need to send Sound Transmission Talisman, come in and talk!"

"Yes, Uncle-Master Liu."

Shen Long agreed and strode inside.

Inside the courtyard stood a three-story Cyan Pavilion and a Cyan Stone Pavilion. Liu Zi'an and Du Yinyin sat in the stone pavilion, smiling as they saw Shen Long.

Shen Long achieved a major victory in his first battle, bringing glory to the Spirit Control Sect and making them proud.

"Disciple pays respects to Uncle-Master Liu and Aunt Du."

Shen Long bowed respectfully, his expression solemn.

"You've refined Third-Order Spirit Flame, haven't you!"

Liu Zi'an asked in a gentle tone.

"It's been refined."

Shen Long nodded honestly.

"That's good. We captured several Barbarian Race cultivators at the Golden Core Realm. We searched their souls and found that the Barbarian Race value you highly, treating you as a core disciple of major forces like the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. They've mobilized experts to deal with you. If you go out of the city to meet the enemy again, change your appearance before going out. Once you've achieved some results, immediately retreat back to the Barbarian-Resisting City to prevent the enemy from targeting you."

Liu Zi'an patiently instructed him.

"You're treating me like a core disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

Shen Long was stunned.

As far as he knew, in the three months since the war began, Lin Qing, Xu Yinyin, Zhao Xu, and others had killed no fewer than five Barbarian Race cultivators. Did the Barbarian Race value Shen Long that much?

"The Barbarian Race female cultivator you killed, who possessed Third-Order Spirit Flame, was a key member of the Sky Wolf Tribe. Your ability to kill her has already proven your strength. Fighting to the death with your enemies helps to break through bottlenecks. If you want to go out of the city to fight your enemies, it would be best to change your appearance. Once you succeed, immediately retreat back to the Barbarian-Resisting City."

Du Yinyin explained.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master Liu and Aunt Du. I understand now."

Shen Long agreed.

Liu Zi'an gave Shen Long a few instructions and then dismissed him.
