Five Years (That's All for Today)

Spring came and autumn went, and five years passed quickly.

In the Barbarian-Resisting City, the streets were bustling with people, and many cultivators could be seen missing limbs.

The Human Race cultivators and the Barbarian Race race have been at war for more than five years. At first, there were major battles every three days, with high-level cultivators from both races fighting fiercely. However, as time went by, the losses on both sides became greater and greater, and the number of battles increased from three days to five days, and from five days to ten days.

Now, the two sides only fight once a month, with casualties on both sides. Overall, the Human Race has the upper hand.

Gathering Immortals Teahouse the largest Teahouse in Barbarian-Resisting City.

The second floor was packed, and many Foundation Establishment Cultivator could be seen there.

Qian Dafu was among them, chatting with the other cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, why hasn't Senior Shen of the Spirit Control Sect made a move again? Could it be that he was injured in the last battle?"

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator asked curiously.

At the start of the battle, Shen Long killed five Core Formation Cultivator in succession, greatly increasing his reputation. However, after that, Shen Long did not participate in any more battles.

"Uncle-Master Shen is an Alchemist refines High-Grade Medicinal Pill, which can save many seniors. His contributions are considerable. Don't believe the rumors outside."

Qian Dafu explained.

He was well aware that Shen Long had participated in numerous battles and killed many Barbarian Race at the Golden Core Realm, but he was simply disguising himself.

"By the way, in the last great battle, a senior fought Barbarian Race in the Core Formation Late Stage stage with his physical strength, held his own, and even killed his opponent. Do you know the background of this senior?"

"Never heard of him! I've asked many fellow cultivators, and none of them know this person."

The cultivators changed the subject and started chatting.

In a secret chamber, mysterious fire-attribute runes were engraved on the stone walls, and the temperature inside was very high.

Lin Yutong sat cross-legged on a Cyan Prayer Mat, her eyes fixed on the blue Alchemy Furnace not far away. A ball of White Flame engulfed half of the Alchemy Furnace, and a strong medicinal fragrance filled the room.

Shen Long stood to the side, saying nothing.

Over the past five years, he has annihilated many Barbarian Race at the Golden Core Realm. Each time, he disguised himself and relied on treasures, his physical body, or Spirit Insect Spirit Beast. After killing a few enemies each time, he would stop when he was satisfied and immediately return to the Barbarian-Resisting City.

In this way, Shen Long's presence was greatly reduced. Even if some Barbarian Race cultivators recognized Shen Long's identity, it would be useless, as Shen Long had already returned to Barbarian-Resisting City.

A large number of Human Race cultivators gathered in Barbarian-Resisting City, including many Divine Ability Core Formation Cultivator. Shen Long disguised himself and killed Barbarian Race cultivators, so he was not well-known among the Human Race.

He would make his move every few months, always in disguise, never lingering in battle. After killing a few Core Formation Cultivator, he would return to Barbarian-Resisting City, earning a large amount of Merit Points and wealth.

Besides annihilating Barbarian Race cultivators and refining pills, Shen Long would also guide Lin Yutong in pill refining.

After a while, Lin Yutong changed her hand seals, put away the White Flame, and opened the lid of the cauldron.

Shen Long stepped forward and saw three golden pills inside the cauldron, each with nine pill Pill Pattern on its surface.

"High-Grade Medicinal Pill, not bad, Fairy Lin, you've made great progress."

Shen Long praised.

He didn't have much time to truly guide Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong had a solid foundation and her alchemy skills were quite good. Sooner or later, she would be able to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill; it was just a matter of time.

According to Lin Yutong, they were Rogue Cultivator, but Shen Long did not agree with this statement. Master Ice Silkworm was unwilling to say more, so Shen Long did not press further.

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Shen's guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill so quickly."

Lin Yutong expressed her gratitude.

"You flatter me, Fairy Lin. Your alchemy skills are quite good. Even without my guidance, it won't be long before you can refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill."

Shen Long said.

"You can't say that. It's precisely because of your guidance that I've avoided many detours. These three late- Third Rank- tier Demon Beast Demon Core are a small token of my appreciation. I hope Fellow Daoist Shen won't find them offensive."

Lin Yutong took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened it and found three white Demon Core inside. He thanked them and accepted them.

He took out a red Communication Disk, cast a spell, and frowned.

"Fairy Lin, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Shen Long quickly walked outside.

He went outside and saw Master Ice Silkworm and Han Yuwei sitting in the stone pavilion chatting.

"Master, Madam Han, I have some urgent business to attend to, so I must take my leave. Fairy Lin can now refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill; her talent is quite remarkable."

Shen Long said hello and quickly left.

Back at the Spirit Control Garden, he went to Liu Zi'an's residence. Liu Zi'an was sitting at a stone table, and Xu Yang stood beside him with a respectful expression.

"Disciple greets Uncle-Master Liu."

Shen Long bowed respectfully.

"Nephew Shen, we have a batch of wounded soldiers to transport back to the General Headquarters. Nephew Han is still recovering from his injuries. I plan to have you and Junior Nephew Xu escort a group of wounded soldiers back to the General Headquarters, and also bring a group of disciples with you."

Liu Zi'an got straight to the point.

In the last great battle, True Man Red Flood Dragon was injured by Tie Xiao and is still recuperating. Since the start of the war, the Spirit Control Sect has reinforced its troops multiple times, suffering considerable losses.

"Transporting the wounded?"

Shen Long was slightly taken aback.

This job isn't difficult; he doesn't need to run errands!

"Nephew Shen, a group of Barbarian Race cultivators are causing trouble in our Human Race territory, attacking important strongholds everywhere, especially troop and supply convoys. For security reasons, I sent you on this trip; otherwise, I would have sent someone else."

Liu Zi'an noticed Shen Long's confusion and explained.

Shen Long was very powerful. If it weren't for the fact that many experts, including True Man Red Flood Dragon, were still injured and hadn't fully recovered, Liu Zi'an wouldn't have put Shen Long in charge of this matter.

"I see. I obey. When shall we depart?"

Shen Long asked.

"You're the team leader, so you make the decisions. Junior Nephew Xu will assist you."

Liu Zi'an said.

"Junior Brother Shen, you can set off whenever you wish. The disciples are all ready."

Xu Yang said.

"Since this is a task assigned by Uncle-Master Liu, let's go and return quickly! Have them assemble here, and we'll set off immediately."

Shen Long said.

Xu Yang nodded, took out a golden Communication Disk, cast a spell, and instructed, "Junior Nephew Chen, contact the other seriously wounded and go to Uncle-Master Liu's residence immediately to prepare to return to the General Headquarters."

"Yes, Uncle Xu."

A respectful male voice rang out.

Xu Yang nodded and put away the Communication Disk.

Shen Long contacted Qian Dafu and told him to come back immediately.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qian Dafu arrived. More than a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivator had gathered in the courtyard. They were all injured, missing limbs, and some were even on the verge of death.

It's unclear how long the war will last, so it would be better for them to return to the General Headquarters to recuperate.

Shen Long counted the number of people and sent Qian Dafu to register.

After registering, Shen Long led them away from the Spirit Control Garden.

After leaving the Barbarian-Resisting City, Shen Long summoned the Sea-Crossing Boat and cast a spell on it. The Sea-Crossing Boat grew to over thirty feet long and floated in mid-air. He boarded it, and Xu Yang followed closely behind.

"Come on up! Let's get back to General Headquarters as soon as possible! You'll receive better treatment there."

Shen Long said.

Qian Dafu and the others walked onto the Sea-Crossing Boat. Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
