Three-Leaf Blood Lotus, External Incarnation

A month passed quickly.

The door to the Alchemy Room opened, and Shen Long walked out. He took out a red Communication Disk, cast a spell, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, the pills are ready. Come to the Golden Cicada Pavilion to collect them!"

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

Wei Feng agreed.

Shen Long put away the Communication Disk and sat down in the lobby.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Feng arrived.

Shen Long took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Wei Feng, saying, "Fellow Daoist Wei, these are the pills you requested."

Wei Feng poured out several blue pills, each with nine Pill Pattern on its surface.

"Excellent! A top-grade Yin-Yang Pulse Nourishing Pill, thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Wei Feng lit up with joy, and he thanked him.

"It's what I should do."

Shen Long smiled calmly.

He refined twenty-four Yin-Yang Pulse Nourishing Pill, gave ten to Wei Feng, and kept the remaining fourteen for himself.

After chatting for a while, Wei Feng said goodbye and left.

Shen Long walked out of the Golden Cicada Pavilion and strolled around the streets.

He hadn't gone far when a White Spirit Beast Bag at his waist swayed slightly, a warning from the Spirit-Tracking Beast that someone he knew had appeared in the Marketplace.

Shen Long strode forward, and when he came to a fork in the road, a portly, one-armed old man walked towards him.

The one-armed old man was dressed in a black robe, his right arm missing. Judging from the Fierce Ghost patterns on his clothes, he was a cultivator from the Heaven Ghost Sect.

The old man in black robes was none other than the Core Formation Cultivator Zen Master Xinkong in the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven over a hundred years ago. He was still at the Great Perfection of Core Formation.

Shen Long's expression remained unchanged as he walked forward.

He wandered around the Marketplace, but the old man in black robes hadn't Marketplace; otherwise, he would have alerted Shen Long to the Spirit-Tracking Beast.

As darkness fell, the streets were brightly lit.

Shen Long arrived at a quiet street in a residential area, where he rented a small, detached house.

As he passed a three-story black pavilion, the Spirit Beast Bag containing the spirit Spirit-Tracking Beast shook slightly.

He walked towards a Blue-tiled Courtyard opposite the black attic. There were no other pedestrians on the street at this time. He pushed open the door and went inside.

"Enemies meeting are bound to be furious! And to think I've run into you here!"

Shen Long muttered to himself, his face filled with murderous intent.

He released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada to monitor the situation in the opposite pavilion.

······

Inside the black pavilion, an old man in black robes was reporting to a Gaunt Grey-Robed Elder.

"Uncle-Master Qian, should we contact other elders? That would be a safer approach."

The old man in black robes spoke cautiously.

"No need. That place isn't a case of the more people the better. I'm enough. Let's not delay. Come with me! I hope we can get that thing successfully."

The Grey-Robed Elder gave the instructions.

"Yes, Uncle-Master Qian."

The old man in black robes agreed, his expression respectful.

"Don't worry, once I get that thing, I'll find a way to restore your severed arm. It will be very difficult for you to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm with your injured body."

The Grey-Robed Elder made a promise.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master Qian."

The old man in black robes expressed his gratitude.

After leaving the black attic, they headed straight for the outside of the Marketplace.

Stepping out of the Marketplace, the Grey-Robed Elder summoned a Black-Qi Enveloped Flying Boat and boarded it, with the black-robed elder following closely behind.

The Grey-Robed Elder made a hand seal, and the Black Flying Boat emitted a blinding black light, soaring into the sky.

After a while, a tall young man in red robes walked out of the Marketplace. It was Shen Long, who had changed his appearance. He transformed into a streak of Escape Light and flew away, chasing after him.

After flying thirty miles, Shen Long summoned a command flag that shimmered with blue light. The Blue Command Flag circled around him once before transforming into a thick Blue Water Screen that protected his entire body, and then he submerged into the seabed.

The Blue Water Screen moved rapidly forward on the seabed, while the two old men in black robes were eighty miles away.

······

Star-Moon Marketplace, a Quiet Manor.

Chu Buyu sat beside Zhang Qing stone table, while a tall, thin young man in a golden robe stood beside him, reporting to Chu Buyu.

"I'll go myself!"

Chu Buyu said.

"Master Aunt Chu, should we notify the other elders? Many experts are buried there."

The young man in the gold shirt offered his suggestion.

"No need, it's not like having more people will make it work. I can make the trip myself."

Chu Buyu refused and got up to leave.

······

A vast expanse of the Azure Sea, under a clear blue sky, with a gentle sea breeze.

A streak of black Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards this location.

Not long after, the black Escape Light stopped, revealing a flying boat shimmering with black light, upon which stood the old man in black robes and the Grey-Robed Elder.

"The Spirit-Severing Sea is just ahead. Hopefully, we won't encounter an eruption of Spirit-Severing Qi."

The Grey-Robed Elder had a solemn expression.

He made a hand seal, and the Black Flying Boat flew forward at a very fast speed.

After flying more than thirty miles, a thick silver lightning bolt ripped through the sky and struck the two of them.

"Oh no, there's an ambush."

The Grey-Robed Elder exclaimed in surprise, and quickly summoned a black, gleaming throwing Flying Dagger, cleaving the falling silver lightning in two.

A deafening dragon's roar resounded, the sea split in two, and a Red Sound Wave swept out, heading straight for them.

The old man in black robes unleashed a burst of black light from his right hand, and with a single palm strike, a giant hand shrouded in black mist flashed out, shattering the Red Sound Wave.

A long Purple Rainbow shot out from the seabed and headed straight for them.

The Grey-Robed Elder sensed the astonishing spiritual pressure emanating from the Purple Rainbow and exclaimed, "Spirit Treasure!"

He opened his mouth and spat out three Flying Dagger wreathed in black light, which merged into one halfway through the air, transforming into a giant blade shimmering with black light, and went to meet the attack.

The Black Giant Blade collided with the Purple Rainbow, producing a muffled thud as metal struck metal, sparks flying everywhere.

A ball of crimson flame lit up above the black-robed elder and the Grey-Robed Elder, transforming into a gigantic Crimson Flood Dragon Crimson Flood Dragon, which was none other than Shen Long in disguise.

He followed the two men the whole way, and several times he wanted to make a move, but each time Nascent Soul Cultivator passed by and followed him all the way here.

He had no intention of venturing into the Spirit-Severing Sea; he wanted to make his move right here.

As soon as the Crimson Flood Dragon appeared, it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a large patch of Crimson Flame, engulfing the bodies of the black-robed elder and the Grey-Robed Elder. With a slap of its right claw downwards, a man screamed, and the black-robed elder was sent flying backwards, his head bleeding profusely.

A gray light shrouded the Grey-Robed Elder, and his eyes were filled with terror.

The Crimson Flood Dragon let out a deafening roar, spewing out a Red Sound Wave that swiftly swept past the Grey-Robed Elder's body, causing the gray light screen to dim and become faintly visible.

The Grey-Robed Elder's body emitted a burst of black light, and a hideous ghost face could be seen on his chest. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he severed his right hand and threw it into the ghost face's mouth, where it was swallowed.

His left hand grew a large amount of black hair, his nails grew rapidly and became as black as ink, his body withered and turned into a Fierce Ghost, and his aura also increased, approaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

A Giant Fireball descended from the sky, carrying terrifying heat as it hurtled towards the Grey-Robed Elder.

The Grey-Robed Elder let out a sharp, piercing Ghost Wail, unleashing a Black Sound Wave that shattered the incoming Crimson Fireball.

A red dragon tail shot out and struck the gray light barrier, causing it to dent and its spiritual light to dim.

A Purple Rainbow shot out, like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The gray light curtain shattered, and the Grey-Robed Elder was cut in two by the Purple Rainbow. A nascent Nascent Soul that looked very much like the Grey-Robed Elder left his body and flew out, only to be caught by a Red Giant Hand.

The Crimson Flood Dragon reverted to human form and used Soul Searching Technique to search the soul of the Nascent Soul soul.

"Three-Leaf Blood Lotus! External Incarnation!"

Shen Long's face showed a thoughtful expression.

They received reliable information that there was a thousand-year-old Three-Leaf Blood Lotus somewhere in the Spirit-Severing Sea. The seeds of the Three-Leaf Blood Lotus were the core material for refining External Incarnation. External Incarnation was equivalent to a high-level Puppet Beast, which could provide some assistance to the main body.

Shen Long took out a silver Talisman and affixed it to the Nascent Soul, then placed the Nascent Soul into a cyan Jade Box.

He looted the corpse of its valuables and then had the Ice Flood Dragon devour it.

Shen Long put the Ice Flood Dragon back into his Spirit Beast Bag. He flew down onto a small island, took out two Storage Bag, shook them with the openings facing down, and after two beams of light swept past, a large pile of things appeared on the ground: eight Law Treasure, more than 900,000 Spirit Stone, and some refining materials.

Cultivators who come into contact with the Spirit-Severing Qi will lose their Law Power and will not be able to even perform the simplest Grain Avoidance. Therefore, cultivators who enter the Spirit-Severing Sea to search for treasures will prepare a large number of Grain Avoidance Pill and carry them with them in case of emergency.

Shen Long glanced around and saw two Cyan Gourd. These two gourds were not Law Artifact and could be opened without Law Power.

He uncorked the gourd, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and found it was full of Grain Avoidance Pill, enough for an ordinary person to eat for decades.

Shen Long tied the two Cyan Gourd to his waist, gathered the items on the ground, and transformed into a Escape Light, disappearing into the air at great speed.

His Divine Sense were greatly enhanced, and he closely observed the situation here.

Seven days later, Shen Long appeared above a Desolate Island over a hundred miles in size, where Divine Sense was subject to certain restrictions.

Shen Long released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, whose eyes emitted a dazzling golden light as it surveyed the situation on the island.

"Found it! It was so well hidden!"

Overjoyed, Shen Long put the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada back into his Spirit Beast Bag and flew towards the northwest corner of the island.

Before long, he landed in front of a stone wall covered with vines.

With a flick of his sleeve, a Giant Fireball flew out and struck the Cyan Vine Cyan Vine, burning them to ashes and revealing a cave several meters in size.

He flew into the cave, which stretched into the ground with uneven stone walls and a row of stalactites on the ceiling.

Not long after, he landed on the ground. In the lower left corner, there was a pool several meters in size. In the pool was a Blood Lotus with three petals, some golden patterns on the petals, and nine lotus seeds.

Shen Long unleashed his Divine Sense, flicked his right hand, and a Blue Command Flag flew out, transforming into a thick Blue Water Screen that enveloped the Three-Leaf Blood Lotus.

He let out a deafening dragon roar, spewing out a Red Sound Wave that shot straight towards a certain stone wall at great speed.

A yellow light shone from the stone wall, and a Yellow Lizard more than ten feet long appeared. It let out a harsh and piercing hiss and spewed out a Yellow Sound Wave as it charged forward.
