Fourth-Rank Wood Demon Crystal Core

Qin Kingdom, Spirit Control Sect.

Twenty years passed quickly. More than ten years had passed since the war ended. The territory of the Human Race had expanded again, and so had the territory of the Spirit Control Sect.

The Spirit Control Sect rewards meritorious individuals, with outstanding cultivation Lineage receiving substantial rewards such as Golden Core Jade Liquid, Law Treasure, and Third-Order Array, thus incentivizing affiliated forces.

At the same time, the Spirit Control Sect also opened its gates and began accepting disciples.

Due to the outstanding performance of Shen Long, Du Yinyin, and Master Ice Silkworm on the front lines, many cultivators wanted to join the Spirit Control Sect, and the Mystic Yang Sect was no longer the most popular sect.

Golden Roc Peak, a Cultivation Room.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a Red Prayer Mat, his eyes slightly closed, his body covered in red dragon scales.

After a while, a White Spirit Beast Bag at his waist swayed slightly.

The Red Dragon Scales on Shen Long's body disappeared, he opened his eyes, and exhaled a long breath.

He got up and walked out to the foot of the mountain. He patted the White Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, Spirit-Tracking Beast flew out from it.

Master Ice Silkworm took over the territory in Barbarian-Resisting City and exchanged two Inner Core of fourth-tier Spirit-Tracking Beast with other Nascent Soul Cultivator, which he brought back to Shen Long.

After consuming three fourth-tier Spirit-Tracking Beast Inner Core and some thousand-year-old Spirit-Tracking Beast Millennial Spirit Herb, the spirit beast finally broke through to the fourth tier.

The Spirit-Tracking Beast let out a loud roar, raised its head to the sky, and raised its tail.

A deafening thunderclap echoed from high above, and a massive Thunder Cloud appeared in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

Since the Spirit-Tracking Beast hasn't mutated, the Lightning Tribulation shouldn't be too strong.

Shen Long to a distance to Dharma Protector the Spirit-Tracking Beast.

A thunderous roar resounded, and a thick bolt of silver lightning struck down, landing precisely on the Spirit-Tracking Beast. A blinding silver light enveloped the Spirit-Tracking Beast's body.

Before the lightning had even dissipated, a second Lightning Tribulation struck, followed by a third, a fourth...

Qian Dafu flew over from a distance and landed in front of Shen Long.

"Uncle-Master Shen, Senior Xu from the Mystic Yang Sect has come to visit, saying he has important matters to discuss with you in person."

Qian Dafu reported.

Where is she?

Shen Long asked.

"She's currently in the Reception Hall; the Sect Master leader is entertaining her."

Qian Dafu told the truth.

"You stay here and don't let anyone else interfere with my Spirit Beast's tribulation."

Shen Long gave the order and transformed into a streak of Escape Light, disappearing into the void.

Not long after, he arrived at the Reception Hall.

Fairy Skyfire sat on a Cyan Jade Chair, and Chen Xiao was talking to her.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time."

Fairy Skyfire spoke, her voice somewhat weak.

She was severely injured by the Barbarian Race monks and has not yet fully recovered.

"Long time no see, Fairy Xu. Are you here to attend Senior Brother Han's Nascent Soul Formation Celebration?"

Shen Long asked casually.

In a little while, it will be the day that True Man Red Flood Dragon holds his Nascent Soul Formation Celebration.

"I will naturally attend Fellow Daoist Han's Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony. However, I have come here today to ask Fellow Daoist Shen for help in refining a batch of Heaven Soul Pill. I need ten high-grade Heaven Soul Pill. I only have one set of materials, which is the Crystal Core of a fourth-order Wood Demon. It can be used to set up Fourth-Rank Array and cultivate rare spirit medicine and fruits."

Fairy Skyfire took out an exquisite Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long.

"Heaven Soul Pill! The Crystal Core of a fourth-tier Wood Demon?"

Shen Long was somewhat surprised. He took the Cyan Jade Box, opened it, and found a cyan Crystal Core the size of an egg inside. The Crystal Core was crystal clear, with some mysterious patterns on its surface, resembling a miniature plant.

He picked up the cyan Crystal Core and could sense a pure wood-attribute energy within it.

The Crystal Core of high-level Wood Demon can be used to set up wood-attribute Formation and cultivate rare spirit medicine and fruits.

"No problem, I'll send someone to deliver it to you after I've finished refining it."

Shen Long agreed.

The Heaven Soul Pill can heal the soul injuries of Nascent Soul Cultivator. I don't know where Fairy Skyfire got the materials, but she even managed to get a fourth-order Wood Demon's Crystal Core.

"If Fellow Daoist Shen doesn't mind, I'll stay at your Spirit Control Sect! Once the Heaven Soul Pill is refined, Fellow Daoist Shen can contact me immediately, and I'll come to collect it personally."

Fairy Skyfire said.

She traded several refining materials treasured in her Treasure Vault with other Nascent Soul Cultivator to obtain the thousand-year-old Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus. The Crystal Core of the fourth-order Wood Demon was something she obtained from an Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode, and she had never been willing to part with it.

Shen Long was taken aback at first, but quickly agreed.

"Fairy Xu, Fellow Daoist Han not returned yet? It's been so long since I've seen him."

Shen Long asked curiously.

Fairy Skyfire sighed and said, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Shen, Senior Brother Han's soul was injured. I've been searching everywhere for pills to heal his soul, all for Senior Brother Han's sake. We've kept this a secret and dared not let it out."

She wouldn't have revealed this before, as it would have shaken the Mystic Yang Sect's position. Currently, the Spirit Control Sect is the number one sect in the Qin Kingdom, which is universally acknowledged. Even if True Monarch Xuanyang hadn't been injured, the Mystic Yang Sect couldn't shake the Spirit Control Sect's position.

She brought this up in an attempt to get closer to Shen Long.

Among the Spirit Control Sect Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Spirit Control Sect, Shen Long's status is undoubtedly the highest.

"Don't worry, Fairy Xu, I will refine the Heaven Soul Pill as soon as possible."

Shen Long assured him.

After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Long asked Chen Xiao to take Fairy Skyfire downstairs and arrange accommodations for her.

Shen Long returned to Golden Roc Peak, but the Lightning Tribulation was not yet over.

Bolts of Lightning Tribulation struck down, their light growing ever brighter, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust.

Centered on Golden Roc Peak, the area within a radius of fifty miles was designated as a forbidden zone, inaccessible to ordinary disciples. However, Qian Dafu, Ning Qianqian, Xu Feng, Liu Yuruo, and others were allowed free entry and exit as a sign of their closeness.

"Nephew Qian, how many more Lightning Tribulation are there?"

Shen Long asked.

"Nine more Lightning Tribulation!"

Qian Dafu said.

Shen Long nodded, looking up at the Thunder Cloud high in the sky. The Thunder Cloud were churning and surging, and a thicker silver lightning bolt struck down, its light intensifying.

As the eighth Lightning Tribulation struck, the Thunder Cloud churned and surged, transforming into a gigantic Silver Thunder Python that swooped down from the sky.

Shen Long was not surprised. The Spirit-Tracking Beast had not mutated and, like the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox, had not attracted any special lightning power.

The Silver Thunder Python plunged into the lightning, and a huge ball of silver lightning shot into the sky, filling the air with smoke and dust, and creating a surging wave of energy.

A white Escape Light flew out from the lightning and landed in front of Shen Long; it was the Spirit-Tracking Beast.

The Spirit-Tracking Beast's body was charred black, emitting a pungent burnt smell; it had successfully withstood the Lightning Tribulation.

Shen Long fed it a Mystic Ice Jade Lotus Pill and then put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag.

"Junior Brother Qian, there's nothing more for you here. You can go back now. I'll call you if I need anything."

Shen Long sent Qian Dafu back.

Back at Golden Roc Garden, Shen Long entered a Alchemy Room.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Dry Sun Cauldron flew out and landed in front of him.

Shen Long took out the alchemy materials, opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Cyan Flame that landed at the bottom of the Dry Sun Cauldron. He then threw the Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus and other materials into the Alchemy Furnace and began refining the pills.

After a while, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the Dry Sun Cauldron.
