Spirit Bird Advancement (No More Today)

Time flies, and twenty years have passed.

Golden Roc Peak, in a Cultivation Room.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on Calm Heart Mat, his eyes slightly closed, his body enveloped in a Red Rosy Clouds, revealing numerous Red Dragon Scales.

After a while, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of him.

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

After helping him refine a batch of Fourth-Order Pill, he taught Su Changfeng how to refine pills.

Under his guidance, Su Changfeng made rapid progress, and his pill-forming rate increased significantly, allowing Shen Long to focus on his cultivation.

He flicked two fingers, and a beam of red light shot out, striking the Sound Transmission Talisman Sound Transmission Talisman. The talisman spontaneously combusted, and Lin Sen's voice rang out. "Uncle-Master Shen, Uncle-Master Lin is back. He says he's acquired something good."

"Master is back!"

Shen Long's face lit up with joy.

He possesses a considerable amount of materials for refining Spirit Treasure; it remains to be seen whether the Master Ice Silkworm can actually refine Spirit Treasure.

Shen Long went outside, while Lin Sen stood outside.

"Did Master just return?"

Shen Long asked.

"Yes! Senior Uncle Lin contacted me as soon as he returned to inquire about Uncle-Master Shen's whereabouts. As instructed by Uncle-Master Shen, he immediately notified you of Senior Uncle Lin's return, and I sent you Sound Transmission Talisman right away."

Lin Sen said respectfully.

Shen Long nodded, left his residence, went to Ice Silkworm Valley, and sent a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Not long after, Lin Yutong came out.

"Senior Brother Shen, you arrived so quickly."

Lin Yutong said with a smile.

"It's been so many years since I've seen Master, Junior Sister, has Mistress overcome her bottleneck?"

Shen Long asked.

"Mother has overcome the bottleneck and is preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

As Lin Yutong spoke, she invited Shen Long inside.

Not long after, Shen Long met Master Ice Silkworm and Han Yuwei in a secluded Blue-tiled Courtyard.

"Disciple greets Master and Mistress."

Shen Long bowed respectfully.

"This is half a bottle of a fourth-tier Flood Dragon's Essence Blood, a fourth-tier Wood Demon's Crystal Core, some fourth-tier Demon Core, and Millennial Spirit Herb. Please accept it!"

Han Yuwei took out a Golden Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

"Mistress, this is far too precious."

Shen Long politely declined.

"Your Mistress gave it to you, so just take it. Oh, by the way, I've collected some materials that can upgrade your Life-Bound Dharma Treasure, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, to Spirit Treasure. Give the Dragon-Slaying Saber to your master, and I'll help you upgrade it to Spirit Treasure."

Master Ice Silkworm said with a gentle expression.

"Master, you can refine Spirit Treasure now?"

Shen Long asked in surprise.

Master Ice Silkworm nodded and said, "When we were traveling in the Southern Border Cultivation World, we discovered an Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode and obtained a lot of materials for refining Spirit Treasure. After much practice, we finally managed to refine Spirit Treasure. In fact, we owe a great deal to the guidance of your Mistress's clan elder."

By the end, Master Ice Silkworm's face was filled with tenderness.

With guidance from a fourth-tier Artifact Refiner from the Han family, Ice Master Ice Silkworm Master Ice Silkworm made rapid progress in weapon refining.

"They're not that kind. In the end, they're only after you've reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you have an exceptionally outstanding disciple, Shen Long. Your deeds have even reached the North Sea Cultivation World —single-handedly slaying the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother."

Han Yuwei finished speaking with a face full of pride.

"Yes! I've benefited from it too. Other fellow cultivators are much more polite to me now that they know you're my disciple."

"Master Ice Silkworm said proudly."

Shen Long possesses the combat power of Nascent Soul Late Stage, and no one dares to underestimate him.

"Alright, take out your Dragon-Slaying Saber! Its advancement to Spirit Treasure will also increase your strength."

"Master Ice Silkworm urged," he said.

"Master, I have already asked Fairy Chu for help to upgrade the Dragon-Slaying Saber to Spirit Treasure."

Shen Long said.

"Fairy Chu? Is it Fairy Chu from the Sun and Moon Palace?"

Master Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise.

"Exactly!"

Shen Long nodded.

"Good lad, you've been hiding it well!"

"Master Ice Silkworm joked."

"Master, you misunderstand. I don't have that kind of relationship with Fairy Chu. I just asked her for help with refining weapons."

Shen Long said, as if remembering something, he took out a Red Storage Bracelet and handed it to Master Ice Silkworm, saying, "Master, I have collected some materials for refining Spirit Treasure. I would like to ask you to help me refine Spirit Treasure, preferably with the Essence Soul of a fourth-tier Soul-Devouring Scorpion refined into it."

Master Ice Silkworm took the Storage Bracelet, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

"Keep the extra materials for weapon crafting."

Shen Long disagreed.

"You're trying to refine Spirit Treasure that Soul Attack, aren't you? I've never refined such Spirit Treasure before, and I might fail."

Master Ice Silkworm's expression was solemn.

"I trust my master; if it fails, I'll just find more materials."

Shen Long said nonchalantly.

"Alright! I'll give it a try."

Master Ice Silkworm agreed, Shen Long provided a considerable amount of materials, enough to refine two Spirit Treasure without any problem.

"Oh, right, Master, these are some Fourth-Order Pill that you might need. I also have a Soul-Calming Incense and two Nascent Soul Spirit Item, which I seized from the enemy. My junior sister told me that Mistress is trying to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so they should be able to use them."

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

Master Ice Silkworm accepted it without hesitation.

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

"Chu Buyu is the successor of the Sun and Moon Palace. Your disciple is extraordinary."

Han Yuwei said in an envious tone.

Master Ice Silkworm nodded and said, "I didn't expect this kid to be so strong. With these things, Madam should be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm."

I hope so.

Han Yuwei nodded.

Back at Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long entered a secret room, went into the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, arrived at the fourth floor, and appeared above Mystic Yin Island.

The entire Mystic Yin Island was shrouded in a thick Black Light Screen Black Light Screen, which was filled with pure Yin Qi.

He took out a token, infused it with Law Power, and a beam of light flew out, striking the Black Light Screen. The Black Light Screen rippled, revealing a huge gap, from which the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove flew out. It was currently at the mid-stage of the fourth rank.

"Master, I have advanced to the mid-stage of the fourth rank."

The Nine-Headed Ghost Dove spoke in human language, its tone filled with pride.

"Tch, you're not the only one who's advanced to the mid-stage of the fourth tier."

A disdainful voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and the Golden-Winged Wind Peng appeared, having also advanced to the mid-stage of the fourth rank.

As Shen Long's Life-Bound Spirit Bird, the Golden-Winged Wind Peng is treated quite well.

"Not bad, you've all advanced to the mid-stage of the fourth tier."

Shen Long praised them and took out two Demon Core cores to feed them.

He arrived at the third level, whistled, and a mound of earth rose from the ground. The mound moved quickly, and after a short while, it stopped, and the Iron Tail Scorpion emerged from the ground.

Its size has increased significantly, and it has advanced to the mid-stage of the fourth rank. Over the years, it has consumed the Inner Core of many Fourth-Rank Poisonous Insect and beasts, which has accelerated its advancement.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and after a Red Rosy Clouds, a Soul-Devouring Scorpion appeared on the ground. This was the Soul-Devouring Scorpion he had killed in the Hengduan Mountains.

The Iron Tail Scorpion let out a joyful cry, spewed out a beam of yellow light, enveloped the Soul-Devouring Scorpion's corpse, and swallowed it whole.

Shen Long fed it a thousand -Millennium Heart-Severing Grass and then left the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.

He took out a Red-Glowing Dharma Disk, cast a spell, and Chen Xiao's voice rang out. "Uncle-Master Shen, fellow Daoists from the Tyrant Blade Villa and Purple Firmament Gate have come to visit, saying they have important matters to discuss with you. What do you think?"

"What important matter is it?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

The Tyrant Blade Villa and Purple Firmament Gate suffered heavy losses and have been recuperating in recent years.

"I don't know. They insist on seeing you first, saying there's something you're interested in."

Chen Xiao said.

"Take them to the Reception Hall, I'll be right there."

Shen Long gave the order.

"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen."

Chen Xiao agreed.

Shen Long left Golden Roc Peak and went to the Reception Hall.

Lu Han, Master Jinqian, and Chen Xiao had been waiting for a long time. After many years, Lu Han had advanced to the Golden Core Realm.

"Greetings, Senior Shen."

Master Jinqian and Lu Han bowed respectfully.

"I heard from Junior Nephew Chen that you have something important to discuss with me. I hope it's not something trivial; I don't have that much free time."

Shen Long said in a deep voice.

He had no connection with these two people, and he wouldn't have come if he hadn't heard that there was something he was interested in.

Master Jinqian and Lu Han each took out a Golden Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "These are a small token of our appreciation; please accept them, Senior Shen."

Shen Long took the Storage Bag and scanned it with his Divine Sense. Inside were several fourth-order Demon Core, more than ten Millennial Spirit Herb, and three materials for refining Spirit Treasure.

"Let's get down to business."

Shen Long said.

"We have inadvertently offended fellow Daoists from the Mystic Spirit Gate, and we would like to ask seniors to step in and resolve this matter."

"Master Jinqian," he said cautiously.

"Where are your sect's Nascent Soul Cultivator? Why aren't they being sent out? Do I have to come forward?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Think carefully before you speak. If you deceive Uncle-Master Shen, don't blame us for not being able to help you."

Chen Xiao said without any politeness.

If someone wants Shen Long's help but doesn't explain the whole story, who would be willing to help?

Master Jinqian and Lu Han exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"To be honest, Senior Shen, our sect's Nascent Soul Cultivator has died, and we have also inadvertently offended the young sect master of the Mystic Spirit Gate. Our sect is in danger of being destroyed. We would like to ask Senior Shen to intervene. Senior Shen has the combat power of the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage, and we believe the Mystic Spirit Gate will give Senior Shen face."

"Master Jinqian," he said slowly.

The Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Tyrant Blade Villa and Purple Firmament Gate joined forces to enter the Immortal Burial Mound to search for treasures, but they all perished. Neither sect had a Nascent Soul Cultivator to oversee the operation, so they kept the news under wraps. If they hadn't offended the young sect master of Mystic Spirit Gate, they wouldn't have asked Shen Long to intervene.

"How did you offend the young master of the Mystic Spirit Gate?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"Our fellow disciples entered the Ten Thousand Fire Valley in search of treasure and got into a fierce battle with a Core Formation Cultivator. This person is the dao companion of the Young Sect Master of Mystic Spirit Gate."

The Master Jinqian spoke truthfully.

Their fellow disciples injured the dao companion of the Young Sect Master of Mystic Spirit Gate, Mystic Spirit Gate has several Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Hmph, you've caused trouble and want me to clean up your mess? This has nothing to do with our Spirit Control Sect, please leave!"

Shen Long refused outright.

With his current strength and wealth, he really wouldn't be interested in what Master Jinqian and Lu Han offered. Offending the Mystic Spirit Gate for such a small thing would be a huge loss.
