Exchanging Spirit Treasures

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you mean that a cultivator can have multiple great fortuitous opportunity?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

The Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator traded a fourth-tier Puppet Beast with the True Monarch Thousand Mechanisms and then spent a fortune at the Auction. Keep in mind, he was just Rogue Cultivator cultivator. Could it be that he consulted the Heavenly Mystery Rogue twice, and both times the fortuitous opportunity were extraordinary?

"That's true, but I haven't encountered such a cultivator yet. Your great fortuitous opportunity lies in the Volcano region of Southern Border. You need to find it. Someone else might get there first and seize your fortuitous opportunity. Therefore, you should set off as soon as possible."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue reminded him.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Shen Long thanked him.

"This is what I should do. I'm only responsible for the deduction. Whether you can find a great fortuitous opportunity depends on your abilities."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said.

After chatting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long took his leave.

He hadn't gone far when a familiar voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist Shen, long time no see."

Shen Long turned his head and saw two men and a woman walking towards him, with Ximen Hai among them.

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

Shen Long greeted him.

"My name is Ximen Hao, and this is my wife, Chen Ziyi. We have long wanted to meet Fellow Daoist Shen, and today we are finally able to meet True Person."

A refined-looking scholar in white robes said with a smile.

"Ximen Daoist Ximen, you are too kind. I have long heard of your great reputations, and meeting you today, I can see that they are indeed well-deserved."

Shen Long's tone was warm.

Both Ximen Hao and Chen Ziyi possess Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation and are high-ranking members of the Ximen Clan, having been renowned for many years.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, would it be convenient for us to speak in private?"

Ximen Hao said politely.

"There's a Teahouse up ahead, let's go there and talk!"

Shen Long said.

Ximen Hao and the other two did not refuse and followed Shen Long forward.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of a nine-story, Cyan Pavilion. The plaque above it bore the three large golden characters "Yuming Teahouse). This was Teahouse owned by the Spirit Control Sect, and everyone from the manager to the waiters was a disciple of the Spirit Control Sect.

An elderly man in a green robe with a ruddy complexion strode out, approached Shen Long, and bowed respectfully. "Disciple Chen Qing greets Grandmaster Shen."

"Arrange a private room; I need to discuss something with Fellow Daoist Ximen."

Shen Long gave the order.

"Yes, Grandmaster Shen. The ninth floor has been empty. Please come in, Grandmaster Shen."

Chen Qing personally led the way.

Upon arriving on the ninth floor, Shen Long saw five guest rooms.

Chen Qing pushed open the door to a guest room, and Shen Long and the other three went inside.

They sat around Zhang Qing tea table and started chatting.

Not long after, Chen Qing came in carrying a blue tray and placed the Spirit Tea and pastries on the tea table.

"Stay at the stairwell and don't let anyone disturb us."

Shen Long gave the order.

Chen Qing responded, retreated, and closed the door.

"It's been many years! Fellow Ximen has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm. Congratulations!"

Shen Long offered his congratulations.

"He's far inferior to Fellow Daoist Shen."

Ximen Hai smiled wryly. When he met Shen Long, they were both Core Formation Cultivator.

Currently, he is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage realm and is somewhat famous in the North Sea Cultivation World. Shen Long, on the other hand, is at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. He single-handedly killed the Xuan True Monarch Li Huo Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother and sparred with True Monarch Li Huo, completely defeating him.

After chatting for a while, Ximen Hao got down to business. "Fellow Daoist Shen, I heard that you sparred with Daoist Xu Daoist Xu and defeated him, winning a Fourth-Order Spirit Flame! We want to buy this Spirit Flame at a high price. Name your price; we'll accept materials for refining Spirit Treasure, Millennial Spirit Herb, heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"Sorry! I've already refined that Spirit Flame; it's unavailable for sale."

Shen Long politely declined.

Ximen Hao was not surprised. According to intelligence, Shen Long possessed a Fourth-Order Spirit Flame. Obtaining another Fourth-Order Spirit Flame would make his alchemy efficiency even higher.

"We heard that Fellow Daoist Shen killed the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother and obtained the Mysterious Yin Staff, Spirit Treasure. We are very interested in this treasure and would like to exchange it with Fellow Daoist Shen."

Ximen Hao said sincerely.

With a flick of her sleeve, Chen Ziyi unleashed a purple glow, and five Spirit Treasure appeared on the ground.

Shen Long glanced at them, smiled, and shook his head; these five Spirit Treasure were too ordinary.

Chen Ziyi flipped her right hand, and a flash of white light appeared in her hand, revealing a Jade Ruler that shimmered with white light.

"The Mysterious Jade Ruler is an ice-attribute Spirit Treasure; Fellow Daoist Shen is not at a disadvantage."

Chen Ziyi said.

Shen Long shook his head; to him, having another Spirit Treasure was of little significance.

"In addition to the two Demon Core of early-stage fourth-tier Green Wind Peng, we would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Shen would do us a favor. If you ever need anything from the Ximen Clan in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Ximen Hao said politely.

"Fellow Daoist Ximen, is a mere Spirit Treasure really necessary?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Absolutely necessary!"

Ximen Hao said seriously.

Shen Long pondered for a moment, then agreed, took out the Mysterious Yin Staff, and handed it to Ximen Hao.

When Ximen Hao saw the Mysterious Yin Staff, his eyes lit up. He took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long. Chen Ziyi also handed the Mysterious Jade Ruler to Shen Long.

Shen Long put away the Mysterious Jade Ruler and the Cyan Jade Box, and chatted with Ximen Hao and the other two.

After chatting for a while, Shen Long took out a Dharma Disk that was shimmering with spiritual light, cast a spell on it, and frowned.

"We have some things to attend to, let's talk again next time, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Ximen Hao tactfully said.

"Good."

Shen Long agreed and made some gestures on the Dharma Disk.

Ximen Hao and the other two got up and left. Not long after, Chen Qing walked in.

"Get me a private room. When Junior Nephew Qian brings a fellow Daoist over later, take him directly to a private room."

Shen Long gave the order.

Chen Qing responded and invited Shen Long to another private room. Shen Long sat down at the tea table and waited quietly.

A short while later, there was a knock on the door. "Uncle-Master Shen, Senior Han has arrived."

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and the door opened, allowing Qian Dafu and Han Lun to walk in.

"Fellow Daoist Han has advanced to the late stage! Congratulations!"

Shen Long sensed the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Han Lun and offered his congratulations.

Han Lun sat down, and Chen Qing came in carrying a blue tray. After putting down the Spirit Tea and snacks, she left. Qian Dafu also left and closed the door.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen sparred with Daoist Xu and defeated Daoist Xu. It's been decades since we last met, and Fellow Daoist Shen's strength has improved so rapidly."

Han Lun said meaningfully.

During the great war between Human Race and Barbarian Race, Shen Long killed several Barbarian Race cultivators at the Nascent Soul Early Stage stage. Iron Tail Scorpion contributed significantly to the victory. Han Lun hadn't paid much attention to Shen Long, but he never expected that Shen Long's strength would improve so quickly after decades.

"Daoist Xu did not use his full strength; it was just a friendly spar. If it were a life-or-death battle, I would not be his match."

Shen Long said modestly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, have you ever heard of True Monarch Purple Sun?"

Han Lun asked.

"Of course I've heard of him. This senior was a fifth-tier Alchemist who was active tens of thousands of years ago. I heard he ascended to the Lingxu Realm."

Shen Long said.

Han Lun flipped his right hand, and a Small Tripod with continuously flowing purple light appeared in his hand.

"The Spirit Treasure Purple Sun Cauldron, the Alchemy Furnace used by True Monarch Purple Sun."

Han Lun said.

"What does Fellow Daoist Han mean by this?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"I heard you have the Corpse Fire of the Nascent Soul Realm stage Corpse King. I want the Corpse Fire Corpse Fire, but its value is not as high as the Purple Sun Cauldron. I need something else."

Han Lun said.

"Corpse Fire!"

Shen Long was not surprised. He killed two Nascent Soul Realm Corpse King and obtained two balls of Corpse Fire Corpse Fire. The Corpse Fire was also of the fourth rank and contained a lot of poison. Shen Long did not refine it into Green Lotus True Flame. For Corpse Refining, Corpse Cultivation, or Poison Cultivation, the fourth-rank Corpse Fire is a good thing that can enhance their strength.

"That's right, you're Alchemist, you should know the value of the Purple Sun Cauldron. If you want the Purple Sun Cauldron, you'll have to offer something good."

Han Lun said.

"I have no interest in the Purple Sun Cauldron!"

Shen Long shook his head; he already possessed a Dry Sun Cauldron.

Han Lun was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that Shen Long already possessed Spirit Treasure- level Alchemy Furnace, which was why he didn't care about the Purple Sun Cauldron.

He frowned. He had thought Shen Long would be excited to exchange something good for the Purple Sun Cauldron, but now it seemed he had underestimated Shen Long.

Han Lun rolled up his sleeves, and a golden light swept across the ground, revealing a large pile of items, including fourth-tier Demon Core, Millennial Spirit Herb, Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast materials, and fourth-tier metal ores.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please choose whatever you like!"

Han Lun said.

Shen Long glanced at the items and saw that Han Lun had brought out quite a few good things.

"Heavenly Monster Talisman!"

Shen Long's gaze fell on a Talisman that was shimmering with spiritual light, and a miniature demon wolf pattern could be seen on the surface of the Talisman.

"Fellow Daoist Shen eye. This is a Heavenly Talisman Sect Heavenly Monster Talisman personally crafted by the Sect Master of the Heavenly Talisman Sect. It sealed the Essence Soul of a mid-stage fourth-tier Silver-Eyed Demon Wolf. The Silver-Eyed Demon Wolf possessed considerable supernatural Divine Ability. Tens of thousands of years ago, a fifth-tier Silver-Eyed Demon Wolf appeared in the Southern Border Cultivation World, causing havoc and killing a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator. It took the combined efforts of several Spirit Transformation cultivators to finally destroy it."

Han Lun said.

Shen Long nodded, his gaze falling on a cyan Crystal Core.

"This is the Crystal Core of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Flower Demon. It can be used to set up a grand formation and cultivate rare spirit medicine and fruits."

Han Lun explained.

Shen Long's gaze shifted and landed on a Red Jade Box containing three red Demon Core.

"This is the Demon Core of a fourth-tier Four-Winged Fire Ant!"

Han Lun explained.

"I want the Heavenly Monster Talisman, the Flower Demon Crystal Core, the Demon Core of the Four-Winged Fire Ant, the Demon Core of two fourth-tier Yin Beast, and the Demon Core of two fourth-tier Green Wind Peng."

Shen Long said.

Han Lun frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, a ball of Corpse Fire can't be exchanged for so many things."

"Who said I'm just a ball of Corpse Fire?"

Shen Long smiled calmly.

Han Lun was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was happening and was overjoyed, so he agreed.

Shen Long took out a Golden Gourd and handed it to Han Lun.

After checking and confirming everything was correct, Han Lun excitedly exclaimed, "Deal!"

Refining these two clusters of Corpse Fire will significantly improve his strength. Corpse Fire can corrupt treasures, and since he cultivates the <Heavenly Corpse Treasure Canon>, he can absorb the Corpse Fire into his body. However, other Nascent Soul Cultivator who absorb Corpse Fire into their bodies will suffer adverse effects, and might even die from poisoning.

Shen Long nodded and put away what he wanted.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I'd like to spar with you, what do you say?"

Han Lun's gaze was fervent.

Shen Long defeated True Monarch Li Huo, Han Lun would feel a great sense of accomplishment if he defeated Shen Long.

"I've been quite busy lately, let's talk about it another time."

Shen Long politely declined.

"Then it's settled."

Han Lun agreed.

After chatting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Han Lun took his leave.
