Rumors
Seven days passed quickly.
The door to the Alchemy Room opened, and Shen Long walked out. He took out a Communication Disk that was flashing red light, entered a spell, and instructed, "Nephew Qian, go to Fairy Xu's residence and invite her to Golden Roc Garden. Tell her that the Heaven Soul Pill has been refined."
He could refine a batch of Heaven Soul Pill in less than seven days, but he simply didn't want to expose the existence of the Dry Sun Cauldron.
With Fourth-Order Spirit Flame, it's normal to be able to refine a batch of Heaven Soul Pill in seven days.
"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen."
Qian Dafu agreed.
Shen Long put away the Communication Disk, walked out, and sat down in a stone pavilion.
Not long after, Qian Dafu arrived with Fairy Skyfire.
"Fairy Xu, here are the ten Heaven Soul Pill you requested!"
Shen Long took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Fairy Skyfire.
Fairy Skyfire uncorked the bottle and poured out ten black pills. Each pill had nine golden Pill Pattern on its surface, and the pills were plump and bright in color.
"Indeed, it is the Heaven Soul Pill! Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen."
Fairy Skyfire thanked her and put the elixir back into the porcelain bottle.
"I have to rush back to the General Headquarters. I'll definitely come over later to attend Fellow Daoist Han's Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony."
Fairy Skyfire said.
Shen Long nodded and instructed Qian Dafu, "Nephew Qian, please see Fairy Xu off for me."
"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen."
Qian Dafu agreed, then remembered something and said, "Oh, right, Uncle Lin wants you to go to Ice Silkworm Valley; he needs to speak with you."
"Knew."
Shen Long nodded.
Qian Dafu personally saw Fairy Skyfire off, and Shen Long arrived at Ice Silkworm Valley and sent a Sound Transmission Talisman.
Not long after, Lin Yutong came out.
"Senior Brother Shen, you've finally emerged from seclusion! Come inside with me!"
With a smile on her face, Lin Yutong led Shen Long into the Ice Silkworm Valley.
Master Ice Silkworm and Han Yuwei were sitting around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.
"Master, I heard from my junior brother Qian that you were looking for me."
Shen Long said.
Master Ice Silkworm nodded, took out an exquisite Jade Box, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "There is a Dragon Scale Fruit inside. Take it! It can strengthen your physical body."
"Dragon Scale Fruit?"
Shen Long asked in surprise and curiosity, "Master, where did you get this?"
"I obtained it from an Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode. Speaking of which, it was your junior sister who discovered the Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode."
"Master Ice Silkworm explained."
Lin Yutong received intelligence that there was Third Rank Li Fire Turtle in a certain place in Ten Thousand Fire Valley. She personally rushed to Ten Thousand Fire Valley, subdued the Li Fire Turtle, and unexpectedly discovered an Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode. The restrictions were too strong, and she could not break them. She rushed back to inform Master Ice Silkworm.
Master Ice Silkworm personally broke the restriction and obtained many things, including some materials for refining Spirit Treasure and a Dragon Scale Fruit.
Shen Long suddenly realized what was going on, thanked them, and accepted the Dragon Scale Fruit. He could now refine Dragon Scale Pill to consume, which would have an even better effect.
"Has Mistress not yet overcome her bottleneck?"
Shen Long asked.
Han Yuwei is stuck at a bottleneck, and hasn't been able to overcome it yet.
"Not yet. In a while, I plan to accompany your Mistress on a trip, hoping she can overcome this bottleneck."
"Master Ice Silkworm said."
"It depends on fate. It's not surprising that someone with bad luck gets stuck at a bottleneck. Many Core Formation Cultivator at their bottleneck for hundreds of years, and when their lifespan runs out, they pass away. I have no regrets. Shen Long, your junior sister has a lot to learn from you, so please teach her more."
Han Yuwei said gently.
Before this, she thought highly of Shen Long Shen Long wanted to match him with Lin Yutong. However, Shen Long improved too quickly. In terms of strength alone, even Master Ice Silkworm was no match for Shen Long. The gap between Lin Yutong and Shen Long was too great, and Shen Long was single-mindedly pursuing the Dao.
Shen Long nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mistress's wife, I will. If you have any questions, Junior Sister, you can ask me, whether it's alchemy or insect control and beast taming."
"Okay, I'll definitely ask if you need anything."
Lin Yutong agreed.
She did have feelings for Shen Long, but that was all. The difference in their social status was too great. If she weren't the daughter of the Master Ice Silkworm, she wouldn't have been able to get so close to Shen Long.
"By the way, there are rumors circulating that you received the inheritance of a great cultivator, and some even say that you were possessed by a great cultivator to rebuild your cultivation. I don't know who spread these rumors, but they're just trying to flatter you to your death."
"Master Ice Silkworm reminded me."
Shen Long became famous overnight, and his name spread throughout the East Hua Cultivation World. Many rumors about Shen Long appeared in the cultivation Immortal Realm, praising Shen Long or exaggerating Shen Long wealth.
"Barbarian Race? Or Human Race?"
Shen Long frowned and said.
The tallest tree in the Lin Feng is bound to be felled by the wind. He doesn't have many enemies. It's not necessarily enemies who will target him; people with conflicts of interest will also target him.
As the Spirit Control Sect grows stronger, it will inevitably pose a threat to surrounding forces. Shen Long is the most famous Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Spirit Control Sect, so it's not surprising that they are targeting Shen Long.
"I don't know! It spread like wildfire in a short time, and the rumors got more and more outrageous. Some even said that you were Spirit Transformation cultivator who had possessed another body to rebuild your cultivation. This doesn't seem like the way Barbarian Race do things, but we can't rule out the possibility that Barbarian Race. I can only say that you should be more careful."
"Master Ice Silkworm reminded me."
Shen Long nodded, then, as if remembering something, asked, "How is the Hundred Ghosts Sect doing?"
"The Hundred Ghosts Sect suffered heavy losses. According to the intelligence gathered by Junior Nephew Liu, about half a month ago, cultivators from the Heaven Ghost Sect appeared in the Zhao Kingdom and most likely went to the Hundred Ghosts Sect."
"Master Ice Silkworm said."
Because of Shen Long's influence, Liu Yuruo now holds considerable power, primarily responsible for gathering intelligence on the Hundred Ghosts Sect.
To nip the problem in the bud, one must eliminate the root cause. Shen Long and Yuan Rui killed Qin Wang and Su Liang, and the Hundred Ghosts Sect would definitely suspect the Spirit Control Sect. Shen Long had not forgotten this.
"Heaven Ghost Sect!"
Shen Long frowned. He wasn't afraid of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, but the Heaven Ghost Sect was a different story.
"The Heaven Ghost Sect is quite powerful, with Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators. There's no need for you to clash with their Heaven Ghost Sect Nascent Soul Cultivator, lest you suffer losses."
"Master Ice Silkworm suggested."
What he didn't know was that Shen Long had killed Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Heaven Ghost Sect.
"Understood, Master."
Shen Long agreed.
He took out a Communication Disk that was flashing red light, and entered a spell. Qian Dafu's voice rang out. "Uncle-Master Shen, Senior Ye Hongyao from Medicine King Valley is here to visit. She has already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm and is in the Reception Hall."
"Ye Hongyao! I remember she's a descendant of Ye Sen. Since she's come to visit you, you should go over there quickly! Don't neglect her."
"Master Ice Silkworm said."
Shen Long responded and turned to leave.
"This kid's got a lot of female admirers, Chu Buyu from the Sun and Moon Palace, Ye Hongyao from the Medicine King Valley."
"Master Ice Silkworm sighed."
What? Are you envious?
Han Yuwei asked with a smile.
"No way, I'm not like him, Yuwei, don't you trust me?"
Master Ice Silkworm quickly explained.
"That's more like it!"
Han Yuwei's expression softened, and she said to Lin Yutong, "Yutong, go back and cultivate!"
Lin Yutong responded and withdrew.
Shen Long arrived at the Reception Hall and met Ye Hongyao, with Qian Dafu standing to the side.
"Fairy Ye, it's been a long time."
Shen Long greeted him.
Ye Hongyao smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Shen. I heard that Fellow Daoist Han is holding Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony. I was passing through the Qin Kingdom and came to ask for a cup of wine. You don't mind, do you?"
"You flatter us, Fairy Ye. We are delighted that you have come. I will send someone to arrange accommodations for you immediately."
Shen Long said politely.
True Man Red Flood Dragon Jiao had no connection with Ye Hongyao, and the Spirit Control Sect had no close relationship with Medicine King Valley, so naturally they didn't Invitation to Medicine King Valley. Shen Long didn't expect Ye Hongyao to come uninvited.
He instructed Qian Dafu to arrange accommodation for Ye Hongyao and to spread the news that Ye Hongyao was participating in the Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony. This was a great honor for her, so naturally it had to be publicized extensively.
