Visiting Ye Sen (That's All for Today)
The Four-Winged Fire Ant ranks 513th on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect Ranking. It flies very fast, feeds on metal ores, and can breathe fire.
Compared to the Golden-Winged Fire Ant, the Four-Winged Fire Ant flies faster and has stronger Divine Ability.
Shen Long released twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant. From the outside, they were different from Golden-Winged Fire Ant because they had an extra pair of wings.
Shen Long made a hand seal, and the twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant emitted a burst of golden light, coalescing into a long Golden Light Flowing Spear.
He patted his chest, and a thick Cyan Light Screen appeared, protecting his entire body.
He made a hand seal, Golden Spear flew straight at him, striking the Cyan Light Screen accurately. A muffled sound rang out, the Cyan Light Screen dented, and its spiritual light dimmed.
"Attack speed has increased, and power has also improved. Not bad."
Shen Long gave a thumbs-up.
Spirit Ant distinguish their own kind by scent. These twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant have mutated, but their scent has not changed, Golden-Winged Fire Ant will not reject them.
Shen Long made a hand seal, and the twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant dispersed.
With a flick of his sleeve, a gleaming blue throwing Flying Dagger shot out and struck a Four-Winged Fire Ant.
With a clang, the metal struck the metal, but the Four-Winged Fire Ant's body remained unmarked.
Shen Long activated his magic technique, Cyan Flying Knife emitted a dazzling cyan light, striking the Four-Winged Fire Ant once again. It produced a muffled metallic clang, and upon closer inspection, a faint, almost invisible cut mark appeared on the Four-Winged Fire Ant's body, which would be completely unnoticed without careful observation.
Shen Long was overjoyed; their defenses had also been significantly strengthened.
A familiar voice came from the distant horizon. "Master, you've arrived."
A streak of Cyan Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped in a flash, revealing the figure of the Golden-Winged Wind Peng.
The Tianshan Snow Jade Paste has excellent healing effects. After more than 20 years of rest, the Golden-Winged Wind Peng has completely recovered.
Are you alright now?
Shen Long asked.
"I've already fully recovered."
"The Golden-Winged Wind Peng said, his tone filled with pride."
Shen Long nodded, fed the Golden-Winged Wind Peng an Eight-Century-Old Green Wind Grass, and put it into his Spirit Beast Bag.
He put the twelve Four-Winged Fire Ant into his Spirit Beast Bag and left the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.
He summoned Lin Sen, gave him a few instructions, and then left the Spirit Control Sect.
He planned to make a trip to Medicine King Valley; if he could refine the Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill, the Iron Tail Scorpion would recover faster.
······
In the Xuanyang Mountain Range, at the General Headquarters of the Mystic Yang Sect, there is a secret room.
True Monarch Xuanyang lay on a Cyan Stone Bed, his face pale.
Fairy Skyfire and Han Jinlong stood to the side, their brows furrowed.
After years of preparation, True Monarch Xuanyang, Master Seven Stars, and Granny Xuemei entered the Immortal Burial Mound to search for treasure. They encountered Soul-Devouring Scorpion at the Late Fourth Rank. Granny Xuemei was killed on the spot, and True Monarch Xuanyang and Master Seven Stars fled separately. True Monarch Xuanyang's soul was severely injured, and he barely managed to escape back to the Mystic Yang Sect.
"We must send people to find a miraculous elixir to heal the soul, otherwise our Old Ancestor will be lying on his stone bed forever."
Han Jinlong said, his face full of worry.
True Monarch Xuanyang is currently very weak, practically a living dead. Core Formation Cultivator could kill True Monarch Xuanyang.
"I will immediately send people to find him, at all costs, to cure Senior Brother Han."
Fairy Skyfire said in a deep voice.
If something were to happen to True Monarch Xuanyang, Mystic Yang Sect's status as the number one sect in the Qin Kingdom might be in jeopardy. But that's not the worst part; if hostile forces found out about this, they would also take the opportunity to launch an attack.
"I'll stay here to take care of the Old Ancestor. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Xu."
Han Jinlong said that he is currently in the Core Formation Mid Stage.
"It's my duty. I'll pass on the order first, and then I'll personally make a trip to the Spirit Control Sect. Perhaps Fellow Daoist Shen has a solution."
Fairy Skyfire said.
The first person she thought of was Shen Long. In the entire Qin Kingdom Cultivation World, there was only one fourth-level Alchemist, Shen Long.
······
The Medicine King Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, with a spring-like climate all year round and Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs everywhere. This is the General Headquarters of Medicine King Valley.
In a manor filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, Ye Sen and Ye Hongyao sat around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.
Ye Hongyao is currently in the Core Formation Late Stage, but is stuck at a bottleneck.
"Junior Sister Xu and the others are preparing to go to the Southern Border Cultivation World world on business. Why don't you go with them? Perhaps you can use this opportunity to break through your bottleneck."
Ye Sen gave the order.
"Yes, great-grandfather."
Ye Hongyao agreed.
Ye Sen took out Communication Disk that shimmered with a blue light, cast a spell, and a respectful male voice sounded, "Master, Senior Shen Long has come to visit, saying he has important matters to discuss with you in person."
"Shen Long? Senior Shen? He's reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
Ye Sen asked in surprise.
"Indeed, Master, would you like to see Senior Shen?"
The man asked.
"Please invite him in! Take him to my residence, and I will receive him personally."
Ye Sen gave the order.
"Yes, Master."
The man agreed.
Ye Sen put away the Communication Disk, looked at Ye Hongyao, and said, "I remember when you first met Shen Long, you were both in the early stage of Core Formation. So many years have passed, and he has actually reached the Nascent Soul stage."
More than a hundred years ago, Medicine King Valley held the Medicine King Assembly, which Shen Long also participated in. At that time, Shen Long was only in the Core Formation Mid Stage, but now he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, which is truly unbelievable.
"I never expected him to have reached the Nascent Soul stage. I misjudged him."
Ye Hongyao sighed.
Since she began cultivating, she has met many talented young people. Shen Long is not the most outstanding, but he has already formed his Nascent Soul. The other talented young people that Ye Hongyao knows have already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"It doesn't matter if I misjudged things before; it's not too late to see things clearly now."
Ye Sen said meaningfully.
Not long after, Zhao Feng led Shen Long in.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, congratulations! It's been many years, you've reached the Nascent Soul stage."
Ye Sen offered his congratulations.
"This junior greets Senior Shen and congratulates you on advancing to the Senior Shen Nascent Soul Realm."
Ye Hongyao bowed deeply and said politely.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you're too kind."
Shen Long smiled slightly, looked at Ye Hongyao, and said in a friendly tone, "Fairy Ye, there's no need to be so polite. We're old acquaintances, so let's address each other as peers."
He needed something from someone and didn't care about such formalities.
"You can't say that. I can't break the rules. I'll address Senior Shen as an equal once I've reached the Nascent Soul stage. I believe that day isn't too far off."
Ye Hongyao seriously, her face full of confidence.
"Alright, when the time comes, Fairy Ye, don't forget to treat me to a cup of wine."
Shen Long said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, please sit down and let's talk."
Ye Sen gestured for Shen Long to sit down.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shen Long got down to business. "Fellow Daoist Ye, I've heard that your Medicine King Valley cultivates quite a few spirit medicine. I'd like to purchase a thousand-year-old Mystic Ice Jade Lotus from you. Name your price."
"Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus?"
Ye Sen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have some, but I don't lack ordinary things."
"How about I trade you some Ten Thousand Poison Paste? I got it from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley."
Shen Long said.
"The Ten Thousand Poison Paste?"
Ye Sen was somewhat tempted, but shook his head and said, "The thousand-year-old Mystic Ice Jade Lotus has a great use for me."
"How about I trade you Heaven Soul True Water?"
Shen Long asked, unwilling to give up.
"Heaven Soul True Water? How much?"
Ye Sen asked.
Shen Long took out a Cyan Gourd and handed it to Ye Sen.
Ye Sen uncorked the gourd, scanned it with his Divine Sense, frowned, and said, "Too little. You think you can exchange this little bit of Heaven Soul True Water for Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus? Double the amount would be more like it."
"I only have this much Heaven Soul True Water. If Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't want it, then so be it."
Shen Long was about to take back the Cyan Gourd.
He certainly possessed more than just this much Heaven Soul True Water, and he knew very well that Ye Sen was making an outrageous demand.
"How about this? Give me some more Ten Thousand Poison Paste, and the Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus is yours."
Ye Sen said.
Shen Long took out a Golden Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Ye Sen.
Ye Sen uncorked the bottle, and a pungent odor rushed out, making him feel dizzy. He quickly plugged the bottle back in.
"Hongyao, go to my Spirit Herb Garden and pick a thousand-year-old Mystic Ice Jade Lotus, then give it to Fellow Daoist Shen."
Ye Sen gave the order.
Ye Hongyao acknowledged the order and left.
"Fellow Daoist Shen is quite capable! He even has Heaven Soul True Water and Ten Thousand Poison Paste."
Ye Sen praised.
Even if he wanted to obtain these two items, it wouldn't be easy. Shen Long had only been in the Nascent Soul Realm for a short time, yet he was able to produce them. More importantly, wasn't Shen Long afraid that Ye Sen would kill him for bringing them out? This was the General Headquarters Medicine King Valley.
"Just lucky, nothing more."
Shen Long said nonchalantly, then, as if remembering something, he added, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Ye, do you know where fourth-tier Flood Dragon roam?"
"A fourth-tier Flood Dragon?"
Ye Sen was somewhat surprised, looking Shen Long up and down, thinking to himself, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you wouldn't be planning to kill a fourth-tier Flood Dragon, would you?"
"If you don't have a fourth-tier Flood Dragon, its Flood Dragon Essence Blood will also work."
Shen Long said.
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
Ye Sen shook his head, as if remembering something, and said with a half-smile, "Fellow Daoist Shen, on your first visit to our Medicine King Valley, you brought out the Ten Thousand Poison Paste and the Heaven Soul True Water, showing you great trust in us!"
"I, Shen, am confident in my abilities. Of course, I also believe that Fellow Daoist Ye wouldn't do anything foolish."
Shen Long said seriously.
It's just that the Heaven Soul True Water and the Ten Thousand Poison Paste are not something Medicine King Valley would use to deal with him. But if Shen Long were to take out the Monster Luring Grass is over a thousand years old, then things would be different.
The Golden-Winged Wind Peng has fully recovered and can provide Shen Long with even more assistance.
Ye Sen chuckled and chatted with Shen Long about alchemy, exchanging ideas.
A short while later, Ye Hongyao arrived, took out an exquisite white Jade Box, and handed it to Shen Long.
"Senior Shen, this is Millennium Mystic Ice Jade Lotus, please take a look."
Ye Hongyao said.
Shen Long opened the box and saw a pure white lotus flower with silvery-white patterns on its petals.
"Excellent, thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye."
Shen Long thanked him and put away the Jade Box.
"It's just an exchange, Fellow Daoist Shen, there's no need to be so polite."
Ye Sen said nonchalantly.
After chatting for more than an hour, Shen Long got up to take his leave.
"Zhao Feng, please see Fellow Daoist Shen off for me."
Ye Sen gave the order.
Zhao Feng responded, gestured for Shen Long to leave, and then led him away.
"This boy has had quite the fortuitous opportunity, managing to obtain Heaven Soul True Water and Ten Thousand Poison Paste."
Ye Sen praised.
