Master Seven Stars, Granny Xuemei

More than half a month passed quickly.

In a secluded manor, seven Nascent Soul Cultivator, including Fairy Skyfire, Shen Long, and Master Ice Silkworm Bingcan, sat around Zhang Qing stone table, sipping tea and discussing the Dao.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Shen to have been to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley and the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven in the Southern Border Cultivation World. Both of these places are extremely dangerous."

A portly Daoist priest in purple robes spoke up.

The Daoist priest in purple robes had a round face and small eyes, was chubby and fair-skinned, and carried Purple Wooden Sword on his back.

True Monarch Zixiao, Nascent Soul Early Stage.

"Yes! Fellow Daoist Shen emerged unscathed, Divine Ability."

Chen Yidao echoed.

"Shen was just fast. There are many high-level Ghost Creature in Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven, and many high-level poisonous insects and beasts in Ten Thousand Poison Valley."

Shen Long said modestly.

"Being fast is also a skill. Many fellow cultivators are not fast enough to escape, and when they are caught up by powerful enemies, they die and their cultivation dissipates."

The voice of True Monarch Xuanyang rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, True Monarch Xuanyang True Monarch Xuanyang walked in, followed by an elderly man of medium build in a silver robe and an elderly woman in a white robe with a wrinkled face.

The old man in the silver robe had a square face and large eyes, while the old woman in the white robe held a white snake-head cane and wore a long white robe embroidered with white plum blossom patterns.

The old man in the silver robe was Master Seven Stars, and the old woman in the white robe was Granny Xuemei.

"Fellow Daoist Han, Daoist Chen, Madam She, you've finally arrived. We were just talking about you."

Fairy Caixia smiled broadly, and from her words, it was clear that she knew Master Seven Stars and Granny Xuemei.

"My name is Shen Long, and I greet you three fellow Daoists."

Shen Long clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

The five Master Ice Silkworm introduced themselves, thus becoming acquainted.

Fairy Skyfire invited them to sit down, and the ten of them enjoyed tea and chatted.

"Daoist Chen, have you not yet overcome your bottleneck?"

"I asked curiously, "Fairy Caixia asked.

The Master Seven Stars shook his head and sighed, "It's difficult! I'm used to it."

"Daoist Chen, you have so many bottlenecks. At this rate of cultivation, it will be quite difficult for you to reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

"Master Ice Silkworm said."

"What can we do? This isn't something I can control. I didn't expect the bottleneck to be so difficult to overcome."

Master Seven Stars smiled wryly, his gaze falling on Shen Long, and said, "This must be Fellow Daoist Shen! I've long admired your name; you are indeed a man of exceptional talent."

"Daoist Chen is too kind. Fellow Daoist Chen is the one with a great reputation, while I, Shen, am merely an unknown nobody."

Shen Long corrected him.

Master Seven Stars has been famous for many years, while Shen Long has only recently formed his Nascent Soul. Not to mention the East Hua Cultivation World, even in the Qin Kingdom Cultivation World, Shen Long's reputation is not great.

"Yes! Daoist Chen is the most famous."

Fairy Caixia echoed.

Master Seven Stars smiled and said, "You probably don't know this, but the higher-ups of the Witch Clan Witch Clan have Fellow Daoist Shen a high reward for your capture. They probably don't know that you've already advanced to the Fellow Daoist Shen Nascent Soul Realm, otherwise they would have already withdrawn the warrant."

"Daoist Chen also knows about this?"

Master Ice Silkworm was somewhat surprised.

"I recently returned from the Southern Border Cultivation World. I killed several Core Formation Cultivator of the Witch Clan and searched their souls. That's when I learned that Fellow Daoist Shen was wanted by the higher-ups of the Witch Clan. However, Fellow Daoist Shen need not worry. The Witch Clan is currently leaderless and each faction is acting independently. This matter was ordered by a Nascent Soul Cultivator named Wu Xian. You killed his descendant."

"That's what the Master Seven Stars explained."

The Witch Clan is now divided into factions, and none of the Nascent Soul Cultivator are willing to submit to the others.

"Wu Xian! I know about this. If I get the chance, I'll settle this score with him."

Shen Long spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"In a direct confrontation, the Witch Clan cultivators aren't that difficult to deal with. Don't give them a chance to cast spells; finish the battle quickly. The real danger is that the Witch Clan cultivators might use incantations in secret, which would be impossible to defend against."

"That's what True Monarch Xuanyang said."

"Shen Long has already formed his Nascent Soul. Even if Wu Xian personally takes action to curse and kill Shen Long, the cost will be considerable. Besides, Wu Xian can wait until he has the opportunity to strike."

Master Ice Silkworm's face was filled with murderous intent.

He had been injured by the sorcery of the Witch Clan cultivators and hated them Witch Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Shen's cultivation speed is almost catching up with Yongqi's! Fellow Daoist Lin, your Spirit Control Sect is truly full of talented people!"

"True Monarch Xuanyang said meaningfully."

The Human Race and the Barbarian Race race fought a fierce battle, and Five Great Powers in the Qin Kingdom suffered certain losses. The Mystic Yang Sect Spirit Control Sect gained two new Nascent Soul Cultivator. In terms of the number of Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Spirit Control Sect was second only to the Mystic Yang Sect.

Shen Long Divine Ability an expert in alchemy and possesses extraordinary abilities; his future achievements are limitless.

"Fellow Daoist Han is too kind. Your Mystic Yang Sect is no less impressive."

Shen Long said modestly.

"Alright, let's leave the pleasantries for later! Let's get down to business!"

Granny Xuemei said somewhat impatiently.

"Fellow Daoists, do any of you possess anything that can weaken Thunder Method? Law Treasure, elixirs, Secret Talisman— anything is acceptable."

"The True Monarch Xuanyang said solemnly."

Shen Long and the others looked at each other, but no one spoke.

True Monarch Xuanyang flicked his sleeve, and a burst of light swept across, revealing dozens of items on the blue stone table, including Millennial Spirit Herb, fourth-order Demon Core, and thousand-year-old Spirit Wood.

"Change to something that weakens Thunder Method."

"True Monarch Xuanyang said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over Shen Long and the others."

Shen Long had a Thunder-Absorbing Bead in his early years, but it was destroyed when he attempted to break through to the Nascent Thunder-Absorbing Bead Nascent Soul Realm.

Master Ice Silkworm and the others were somewhat tempted, and took out the items for True Monarch Xuanyang to examine. True Monarch Xuanyang shook his head, as he desperately needed something to weaken Thunder Method.

"This kind of thing is extremely rare, Fellow Daoist Han, are you going to the Immortal Burial Mound to search for treasures?"

"I asked curiously, "Fairy Caixia asked.

"Exactly. There's an area where the lightning power is too strong. A special kind of lightning power has appeared. Defensive magical Spirit Treasure might be able to withstand it, but ordinary defensive Law Treasure simply can't hold on and will be destroyed by the restrictions very quickly."

"That's what True Monarch Xuanyang said."

"We can prepare a few sets of defensive Law Treasure. They're not as good as defensive Spirit Treasure, but at least they can hold out for a longer period of time."

"Master Ice Silkworm suggested."

True Monarch Xuanyang gave a wry smile and said, "I had already thought of this method, but it's a poor choice."

Shen Long and the others took turns showing off their items and stating what they wanted to exchange.

Shen Long took out two Blood Snake Fruit, which were exchanged for the Inner Core of a fourth-tier demonic scorpion by True Monarch Xuanyang.

The exchange ended about half an hour later.

True Monarch Xuanyang, Master Seven Stars, and Granny Xuemei did not linger and took their leave.

Judging from their conversation, they are going to the Immortal Burial Mound to search for treasure.

Shen Long and the others did not press the matter further. As for whether True Monarch Xuanyang and the other two would return alive, no one knew.

Back at his residence, Shen Long told Master Ice Silkworm about the matter.

"The Immortal Burial Mound is dangerous. They've probably discovered something valuable, which has nothing to do with us. What Fellow Daoist Han said might not be true. Perhaps it's not Thunder Attribute Prohibition, but Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast Thunder Attribute demonic beast, just trying to mislead us by deliberately lying."

"Master Ice Silkworm analyzed."

Everyone has their own fortuitous opportunity; it all depends on whether the three True Monarch Xuanyang can seize them.

"The three of them True Monarch Xuanyang, are all Nascent Soul Cultivator have been famous for many years. The fact that they attach so much importance to this matter suggests that there is something very important at their destination; otherwise, they wouldn't be so concerned."

Shen Long said.

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, let them be! We haven't been in the Nascent Soul Realm for long, so let's Secluded Cultivation for a while. This time we exchanged for an Inner Core of a fourth-tier early-stage Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm, plus the ice-attribute spirit medicine I collected, I hope the Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm can advance to the fourth tier."

As Master Ice Silkworm finished speaking, a look of longing appeared on his face.

Three days later, Master Ice Silkworm and Shen Long led their team away from Mystic Yang Marketplace and returned to the Spirit Control Sect.

Upon returning to the Spirit Control Sect, Shen Long and the others went their separate ways.

Shen Long gave Lin Sen a few words of advice, then went into a Cultivation Room and lit a Calm Heart Incense stick, placing it in the Incense Burner.

He entered the Ten Thousand Beast Tower and arrived at the third floor. After years of transformation, the third floor had become a vast and boundless dense forest, where a large number of Spirit Wood grew. He whistled.

A piercing screech rang out, and a mound of earth rose from the ground, rapidly moving towards Shen Long.

Before long, the mound reached Shen Long, Iron Tail Scorpion burst out of the ground, letting out a joyful hiss, its stinger swaying left and right.

Shen Long took out a black Demon Core, which was the Demon Core of a fourth-tier early-stage Soul-Severing Scorpion.

He fed the Demon Core to the Iron Tail Scorpion, and then fed it two eight-hundred-year-old Heart-Severing Grass. The Iron Tail Scorpion let out an excited hiss, and its two giant pincers swung incessantly.

After a while, it became drowsy.

The Iron Tail Scorpion possesses considerable Divine Ability; if it were to advance to the fourth rank, it could provide Shen Long with even more assistance.

Shen Long settled it and left the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.

He closed his eyes to rest and meditated to regulate his breathing.

Half an hour later, Shen Long took out a Blood Flood Dragon Pill and swallowed it.

Before long, a Red Rosy Clouds appeared and enveloped Shen Long's entire body. Red Dragon Scales grew on his skin as he began to cultivate.

He planned to go into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate, collect materials to refine Fourth-Order Pill, and hoped that the disciples of the Spirit Control Sect could find out the whereabouts of the fourth-tier Flood Dragon.
