Blood Scale Wood (That's All for Today)

Qin Kingdom, Spirit Control Sect.

Golden Roc Peak, Lin Sen, and Qian Dafu were sitting in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

A sharp, piercing bird cry came from high above, and the Golden-Winged Wind Peng descended from the sky, landing in front of them.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu jumped off the back of the Golden-Winged Wind Peng and landed on the ground.

"Grandmaster Shen (Uncle-Master Shen), Senior Chu."

Lin Sen and Qian Dafu quickly stood up, their expressions respectful.

"Fairy Chu is temporarily staying at Golden Roc Garden. She is my guest and must not be neglected, understand?"

Shen Long gave the order.

"Yes."

Lin Sen and Qian Dafu agreed in unison.

"Nephew Lin, arrange a quiet place for Fairy Chu so she can rest well."

Shen Long gave the order.

Lin Sen responded and personally led the way for Chu Buyu.

"Junior Nephew Qian, has my master emerged from seclusion?"

Shen Long asked.

"Senior Uncle Lin recently emerged from seclusion and contacted his disciples to inquire about Uncle-Master Shen's whereabouts."

Qian Dafu told the truth.

Shen Long nodded, gave a few instructions, and then transformed into a streak of Escape Light, disappearing into the void and arriving at Ice Silkworm Valley.

Just as he was about to send Sound Transmission Talisman, Master Ice Silkworm's voice rang out. "We're all on the same side, no need to be so reserved, come in and talk!"

Shen Long responded and flew into the Ice Silkworm Valley.

Master Ice Silkworm and Han Yuwei sat around Zhang Qing stone table, sipping tea and chatting.

"Disciple greets Master and Mistress."

Shen Long bowed.

"I told you, you don't need to be so reserved. Where did you go? I contacted my junior apprentice Qian a few days ago, and he said you went out."

Master Ice Silkworm gestured for Shen Long to sit down and casually asked.

"At Fairy Chu's invitation, I went to the heart of the Barbarian Race lands to search for treasure and obtained a piece of three-thousand-year-old Blood Scale Wood. I would like to ask Master to help me refine it into Life-Substitution Bead. The materials should be enough to refine two pearls."

Shen Long took out a piece of blood-red wood and handed it to Master Ice Silkworm.

The surface of the blood-red wood has some intricate patterns that resemble dragon scales.

Blood Scale Wood over three thousand years old can be used to refine the Life-Substitution Bead. The Life-Substitution Bead Life-Substitution Bead Pearl is a one-time use item; having one is equivalent to having an extra life.

There was an offensive Spirit Treasure in that Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode. As agreed beforehand, Chu Buyu chose one first. After she took the Spirit Treasure, the remaining items were divided equally. There was only one piece of the three-thousand-year-old Blood Scale Wood, which went to Shen Long.

"A three-thousand-year-old Blood Scale Wood! You've encountered quite a fortuitous fortuitous opportunity!"

Master Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise.

"These are some fourth-tier refining materials. Master, please take them and use them for refining! Thank you for your trouble."

Shen Long took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to Master Ice Silkworm.

He and Chu Buyu joined forces to kill several Nascent Soul Cultivator and obtained a lot of wealth, most of which went to Shen Long.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Here's a fourth-tier Two-Tailed Spirit Fox Demon Core and a Millennium Green Wind Grass, which your junior sister bought at an Underground Auction. You can accept them!"

Master Ice Silkworm took out a Cyan Jade Box and a golden jade box and handed them to Shen Long.

Shen Long accepted the gift without hesitation.

After chatting for half an hour, Shen Long took his leave.

Back at Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long entered a secret room.

With a flick of his right hand, a Cyan Porcelain Bottle appeared in his hand. He uncorked the bottle, and a surge of pure Spiritual Qi rushed out. Inside was a drop of Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, obtained from Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode. There was only one drop, Chu Buyu gave it to Shen Long.

Shen Long obtained a drop of Millennium Spirit Milk in his early years, which could quickly restore his Law Power. After he advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Millennium Spirit Milk could no longer restore his Law Power instantly, but the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk could.

During this treasure hunt, Shen Long obtained many valuable items, including Blood Scale Wood, Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, and a Five-Colored Golden Luan Crystal, which is a material for refining Spirit Treasure. However, one piece is not enough.

After careful examination, Shen Long discovered that the Five-Colored Golden Luan Crystal was somewhat similar to the strange gold that Du Yinyin had given him, and he guessed that the strange gold contained the Five-Colored Golden Luan Crystal.

If Shen Long could collect a few more pieces of Five-Colored Golden Luan Crystal, he could ask the Master Ice Silkworm to help him refine a Spirit Treasure.

He patted a Cyan Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out from it.

Shen Long took out a Beast Rearing Pill and fed it to the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox, and then fed it the Demon Core of a fourth-tier Two-Tailed Spirit Fox.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox became drowsy and needed time to digest the Demon Power contained in the fourth-tier Demon Core.

Shen Long put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag and released the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen. Every month, Shen Long fed it a Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill, and the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen recovered much faster.

Shen Long took out a Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill and fed it to the Golden-Winged Fire Ant Queen put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag so that it could recuperate properly.

He lit a Calm Heart Incense stick and placed it in the Incense Burner, then sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Half an hour later, Shen Long opened his eyes, took out a Blood Flood Dragon Pill and swallowed it; the pill melted instantly in his mouth.

He could clearly feel a surge of powerful energy coursing through his abdomen, and he quickly circulated his internal energy to refine it.

Shen Long's body was covered with a large number of Red Dragon Scales, and his whole body was shrouded in a Red Rosy Clouds.

······

The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range, the General Headquarters of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

In a Quiet Manor, Lu Qingshan, Lin Qing, and Xu Mei sat around Zhang Qing stone table, sipping tea and chatting.

"Junior Brother Lin, Junior Sister Xu, congratulations! Our sect has gained two more Nascent Soul Cultivator."

Lu Qingshan offered his congratulations with a broad smile.

"It's all thanks to the sect's cultivation; otherwise, we wouldn't have advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm so easily."

Lin Qing said with a smile.

It was not unexpected that he and Xu Mei successively advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

They had been famous for many years and were key talents cultivated by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. They cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect provided them with Nascent Soul Spirit Item Soul-Calming Incense, enabling them to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Should we hold Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony to celebrate?"

"No need for such formalities. We don't care about these formalities. If we can advance to the Spirit Transmutation Realm, we should definitely celebrate."

Lin Qing's face showed anticipation.

Lu Qingshan looked approving and said, "I have something to tell you. Fellow Daoist Shen of the Spirit Control Sect has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, and his master has also advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, ahead of you."

"What? They've all advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Lin Qing was surprised. It was the first time he had met Shen Long. Shen Long was only in the early stage of Core Formation, while he was in the Core Formation Late Stage. Shen Long had surpassed him and formed his Nascent Soul first.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Yes! He probably has a great fortuitous opportunity. Of course, if you hadn't been stuck at your bottlenecks for so many years, you would have already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm."

"In that case, he has had quite a stroke of fortuitous opportunity, managing to get ahead of us."

Xu Mei sighed.

Lu Qingshan took out a Dharma Disk that shimmered with blue light, cast a spell on it, and frowned.

"Senior Brother Lu, what happened?"

Lin Qing asked curiously.

"The Golden Crow Tribe of the Barbarian Race has offered a hefty reward for two Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators. One is Chu Buyu from the Sun and Moon Palace, and the other is a Body Cultivator who possesses a powerful Spirit Treasure. In order to capture these two, the Barbarian Race cultivators sent people into our Human Race territory, where we captured several of them."

Lu Qingshan frowned and said.
