Iron Tail Scorpion Advances

Twenty years have passed quickly.

At the Spirit Control Sect, Chen Xiao stood atop a high peak, gazing solemnly at a cluster of Black Thunder Cloud in the sky.

Shen Long refined the Soul-Calming Powder, and Chen Xiao sent people to refine it into Soul-Calming Incense. Li Rongrong was breaking through to the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Realm and needed the Soul-Calming Incense.

As long as Li Rongrong survives the Lightning Tribulation, she will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared as Lightning Tribulation struck down, their brilliance growing ever more dazzling.

A short while later, the Thunder Cloud churned and surged, producing arcs of blue and red electricity.

"Two-Colored Divine Lightning!"

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; Li Rongrong should be able to withstand just one Two-Colored Divine Lightning bolt.

The two-colored Thunder Cloud transformed into a thick, Two-Colored Lightning Python, its body covered with countless arcs of electricity of two colors, swooping down from the sky and heading straight downwards.

Just as the Two-Colored Lightning Python approached a small valley by about thirty feet, a sharp, piercing hiss rang out, and a Cyan Sound Wave flew out from the valley, quickly passing over the Two-Colored Lightning Python's body.

Its body trembled, then exploded, transforming into a massive ball of two-colored lightning that enveloped a large area, billowing with smoke and dust.

After a while, Li Rongrong flew out from the two-colored lightning and landed in front of Chen Xiao.

Her aura weakened, but a terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from her body, and she successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Congratulations, Aunt Li, on advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Chen Xiao offered his congratulations, his expression filled with excitement.

With this, the Spirit Control Sect now has six Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Thanks to the Soul-Calming Incense provided by the sect, and the fact that there's still half a stick left, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to overcome my Inner Demon Tribulation so easily."

Li Rongrong said seriously, taking out half a stick of Soul-Calming Incense and handing it to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Uncle-Master Shen. If it weren't for him refining the Soul-Calming Powder..."

Before he could finish speaking, he took out a golden Communication Disk, cast a spell, and Shen Long's voice rang out. "Junior Nephew Chen, is there any news about a fourth-tier Flood Dragon?"

"Uncle-Master Shen, there's no news yet, but there is some news about Third-Rank Flood Dragon. A Third Rank Poison Flood Dragon appeared within the territory of Wei, but it has already been subdued by Nascent Soul Cultivator."

Chen Xiao told the truth.

"Understood. Let me know as soon as you have any news!"

Shen Long gave the order.

"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen."

Chen Xiao readily agreed.

Golden Roc Peak, Golden Roc Garden.

In the Cultivation Room, Shen Long sat cross-legged on a Red Prayer Mat.

He Secluded Cultivation for twenty years, and his Law Power had improved considerably. He had also finished consuming the Blood Flood Dragon Pill. Without obtaining the Flood Dragon Essence Blood, he would be unable to refine Blood Flood Dragon Pill to assist in cultivating the <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>.

Shen Long entered the Ten Thousand Beast Tower and arrived at the third floor.

A sharp, piercing hiss rang out as the Iron Tail Scorpion flew in from afar, its stinger swaying wildly as it emitted a continuous, piercing hiss.

Shen Long thought of something, put it into his Spirit Beast Bag, and left the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.

After leaving the Cultivation Room, Shen Long transformed into a Escape Light and flew away, landing at the foot of Golden Roc Peak. He patted a yellow Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and the Iron Tail Scorpion flew out from it.

It raises its head and cries out to the sky, its tail spike held high.

A deafening clap of thunder echoed from high above, and a massive Thunder Cloud appeared without warning. The Thunder Cloud churned and surged, growing ever larger, revealing countless silver lightning bolts intertwined, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

This unusual phenomenon alarmed many cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect Spirit Control Sect, and a large number of them rushed towards the location.

Shen Long high into the sky and said, "All of you, stand back! Without my order, no one is allowed to approach within thirty miles of Golden Roc Peak. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished."

His voice carried for miles, and the Spirit Control Sect disciples who had rushed over retreated and moved away from the area.

After a thunderous roar, a silver lightning bolt streaked across the sky, heading straight for the Iron Tail Scorpion.

The Iron Tail Scorpion emitted a piercing hiss, its body radiating a bright yellow light as a thick, yellow Earth Armor emerged, protecting its entire body.

The silver lightning struck the yellow Earth Armor, instantly exploding and engulfing the Iron Tail Scorpion in a vast arc of silver electricity.

Before the lightning had even dissipated, a second and third Lightning Tribulation struck down in succession, the light becoming increasingly blinding.

Shen Long stood high in the distance, his brows furrowed.

He couldn't help, so the Iron Tail Scorpion had to carry the load.

Compared to Spirit Beast Spirit Bird, Spirit Insect are more difficult to advance. Most Spirit Insect have weak physical bodies and cannot withstand the challenges, so they may die. This is one of the reasons why fourth-order demon insects are rare.

Bolts of Lightning Tribulation struck down, and powerful shockwaves stirred up large amounts of dust, filling the air with smoke and grime.

When the thirty-fifth Lightning Tribulation struck, the Thunder Cloud boiled like water, emitting arcs of blue, green, and red electricity, quickly transforming into Three-Colored Lightning Cloud Thunder Cloud.

"Three-Colored Divine Lightning!"

Shen Long's expression turned serious.

He never expected that the Iron Tail Scorpion would actually attract a Three-Colored Divine Lightning, which was extremely rare in the history of the Spirit Control Sect.

Most Spirit Insect are already quite good at attracting Two-Colored Divine Lightning when they reach the fourth rank, but the Iron Tail Scorpion is Mutated Spirit Insect, so it's not surprising that it attracted Three-Colored Divine Lightning.

After violently churning, the Three-Colored Lightning Cloud transformed into a gigantic tri- Three-Colored Lightning Scorpion Three-Colored Lightning Scorpion, which swooped down from the sky, heading straight for the Iron Tail Scorpion.

After a piercing screech, a Yellow Sound Wave shot out from the lightning and swept past the body of the Three-Colored Lightning Scorpion.

The Three-Colored Lightning Scorpion's body exploded instantly, and a huge ball of three-colored lightning shot into the sky. The powerful shockwave blew away a large amount of sand and stones, and billowed with dust.

About fifteen minutes later, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a huge crater emitting black smoke on the ground. The Iron Tail Scorpion was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Long descended from the sky and landed in the giant pit, his brows furrowed.

The ground shook slightly, as if something was buried underground.

Shen Long carefully dug away a large patch of soil and pulled the Iron Tail Scorpion out of the ground.

Its body was charred black, its breath was weak, and it emitted a burnt smell.

It successfully advanced to the fourth rank, but was severely injured and could not even burrow out of the ground. Shen Long had to dig it out, which shows how serious its injuries were.

"The injuries are so severe."

Shen Long frowned deeply.

The Golden-Winged Wind Peng, despite attracting two bolts of Three-Colored Divine Lightning during its fourth-level breakthrough, was still able to move. The Iron Tail Scorpion, however, was severely injured after attracting a bolt of Three-Colored Divine Lightning. This demonstrates that the physical bodies of Spirit Insect are indeed not strong.

Shen Long quickly took out a golden jade box, which still contained a small portion of Tianshan Snow Jade Paste.

Multiple cracks were visible on the Iron Tail Scorpion's two massive pincers, and its stinger was dripping with blood, revealing exposed bone.

Shen Long applied the remaining Tianshan Snow Jade Paste to the Iron Tail Scorpion's head and stinger, fed it an 800-year-old Soul-Severing Grass, and then put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag.

He transformed into a Escape Light and soared through the air, arriving at the Scripture Depository.

Shen Long is already Nascent Soul Cultivator and can freely access the Pill Formula collected by the Spirit Control Sect.

The Spirit Control Sect has a history of tens of thousands of years and has collected many fourth-order Pill Formula.

Shen Long copied three fourth-tier Pill Formula: Blood Mushroom Pill, Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill, and Purple Ginseng Pill. Blood Mushroom Pill had a very good healing effect, Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill was very effective in healing injuries caused by lightning strikes, and it was similar to Tianshan Snow Jade Paste. Purple Ginseng Pill was made with thousand-year-old Purple Jade Ginseng as the main ingredient and had the effect of improving Law Power.

The Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill is made primarily from the Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus, a spirit medicine that grows in Glacier regions and is extremely difficult to cultivate artificially.

Shen Long arrived at the gate of a vast manor, sent a Sound Transmission Talisman, and soon the gate opened. Fang Ru came out, bowed respectfully, and said, "Disciple greets Uncle-Master Shen."

"Is it convenient for you, Senior Sister Du? I need to talk to her about something."

Shen Long asked.

"Convenient, Uncle-Master Shen, please follow me."

Fang Ru gestured for them to proceed and led the way.

After passing through several arched courtyards, Shen Long followed Fang Ru to a small Blue-tiled Courtyard, where Du Yinyin was sitting at Zhang Qing stone table, enjoying tea.

"Senior Sister Du, what a great time!"

Shen Long said with a smile.

"Fang Ru recently acquired a jar of fine tea. Junior Brother Shen, you've come at the perfect time. Please have a taste."

Du Yinyin said warmly, picked up the teapot, and poured Shen Long a steaming cup of Spirit Tea.

Shen Long picked up his teacup, took a sip, and praised, "Excellent tea."

"Junior Brother Shen, is there something you need from me?"

Du Yinyin got down to business.

"I'm searching for the Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus. I wonder if Senior Sister Du has any?"

Shen Long asked, his face full of anticipation.

"Mystic Ice Jade Lotus! This kind of spirit medicine is quite rare. I don't have any. I know a fellow Daoist who has Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus, but it won't be easy to get him to give it up."

Du Yinyin said.

"Who?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"I met Fellow Daoist Ye Sen of Medicine King Valley at a gathering decades ago. He traded the Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus with another Daoist. As for whether the Mystic Ice Jade Lotus is still in his possession, that's hard to say."

Du Yinyin said.

Medicine King Valley is renowned in the East Hua Cultivation World for its alchemy skills and also cultivates a large number of spirit medicine.

"Junior Brother Shen, you want to refine the Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill, right? It won't be easy for you to get the Mystic Ice Jade Lotus from Fellow Daoist Ye, so just forget it! As long as the Spirit Insect Spirit Beast can withstand the Lightning Tribulation, a slower recovery is fine."

Du Yinyin advised.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister Du. I have my own plans. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Shen Long got up and left.

Back at Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long sensed something and patted a golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, from which twelve Spirit Ant flew out.

"Huh? Why have two pairs of wings grown?"

Shen Long let out a soft exclamation. These twelve Golden-Winged Fire Ant had all eaten the rare gold and fallen into a deep sleep. When they woke up, they had grown two pairs of wings, which were clearly different from the Golden-Winged Fire Ant.

The Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen is a mutation of the Gold-Eating Ant. Its offspring are all Golden-Winged Fire Ant. Strictly speaking, these Golden-Winged Fire Ant are not mutants and their Divine Ability are not as great as the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen.

Now, they have consumed the rare gold, mutated, and become mutants.

Shen Long put them into his Spirit Beast Bag, entered the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, and arrived at the fourth floor.

He stood before the Ten Thousand Beast Stele, glanced at it, and muttered to himself, "It really is Mutated Spirit Insect."

Following Shen Long's gaze, one could see a line of small characters. "The twelve Golden-Winged Fire Ant have mutated and become Four-Winged Fire Ant."
