Hundred-Jun Pill (No More Today)

Li Yunpeng took out over a hundred kinds of materials, including high-grade spirit medicine, ores, Monster Beast Material, spiritual water, Demon Core, and other Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure.

Shen Long was secretly surprised; even Spirit Transformation cultivators in the Lower Realm couldn't possibly produce so many good items.

"Exchange for materials of equal value."

Li Yunpeng spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Li, is that a fifth-tier Yin Bead?"

Shen Long pointed to the two black beads and asked.

"This is the Yin Bead of Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage Ghost Creature. We were even injured while trying to kill those two Ghost Creature."

Li Yunpeng explained.

Shen Long took out two white dragon scales and handed them to Li Yunpeng, saying in a telepathic message, "These are the Life-Bound Scale of a fifth-tier early-stage Ice Flood Dragon. How about exchanging them for these two Yin Bead?"

With these two Yin Bead and the Fifth-Rank Demon Core Wind Attribute demon core, the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove will definitely be able to advance to the fifth tier.

"The Life-Bound Scale of a fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon?"

A look of surprise flashed across Li Yunpeng's eyes. A fifth-tier Flood Dragon was even more difficult to kill than Ghost Creature in the Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage. Where did Shen Long get the Life-Bound Scale of a fifth-tier Flood Dragon?

Flood Dragon don't have many of their Life-Bound Scale, which are among the most precious materials for refining weapons. Losing their Life-Bound Scale would definitely severely damage Flood Dragon's vitality.

He readily agreed and handed the two Yin Bead to Shen Long.

Li Tianxue and the others communicated with Li Yunpeng telepathically, taking out items for him to examine.

Only a few people successfully made their exchange. After Li Yunpeng finished his exchange, Li Yunting took out her items to exchange.

The cultivators took turns exchanging items, Shen Long saw quite a few good things, but he didn't have much to offer, so he could only look.

Half an hour later, Shen Long stood up and took out more than a dozen materials, mostly pills, and two pieces of Soul-Nourishing Wood.

"We can exchange it for the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape, or materials of equal value."

Shen Long said.

"Ten Thousand Years Soul-Nourishing Wood!"

Li Yunpeng was somewhat surprised. He took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shen, this is the Demon Core of a mid-stage fifth-tier Green-Eyed Power Ape. How about exchanging it for ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood?"

He assumed Shen Long wanted the Essence Blood to cultivate the Spirit Ape, since Shen Long came from the Thousand Spirits Sect and it was perfectly normal for him to use the Essence Blood of powerful Demon Beast to cultivate Spirit Beast.

"I have no interest in ordinary Fifth-Rank Demon Core. It would be best to exchange them for the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape. I want to use it to nurture my Spirit Ape."

Shen Long said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, this is the Crystal Core of a fifth-tier early-stage Flower Demon. How about exchanging it for a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood?"

Xue Sheng took out a Cyan Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long, saying in a telepathic message.

Shen Long opened the jade box, and a cyan Crystal Core came into view. He nodded and agreed to the exchange.

"Junior Brother Shen, how about I trade you a bottle of Hundred-Jun Pill for a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood?"

Li Tianxue handed a Cyan Porcelain Bottle to Shen Long and transmitted her voice.

The Hundred-Jun Pill can strengthen the physical body, but in terms of value, the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood is much more precious.

Shen Long hesitated for a moment and agreed to the exchange. Li Tianxue had taken good care of him, so exchanging a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood for her was no problem.

He still possesses Six Roots Purity Bamboo over 20,000 years old, enough to tempt even Void Refining Cultivator, who would dare not part with them.

Two sections of the ancient Soul-Nourishing Wood were swapped out, and the remaining items were not of interest to other Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Shen Long put away his things, and Zhao Tianhu stood up and took out dozens of materials.

Shen Long could tell that the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape was very precious. Strictly speaking, Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape were quite rare. He wondered who created this Cultivation Method.

Half an hour later, the exchange ended, and Li Tianxue and the others left one after another.

Back at Thousand Spirits Garden, Li Tianxue asked, "Junior Brother Shen, cultivating Spirit Ape doesn't necessarily require the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape. That's too difficult. The Essence Blood or Demon Core of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with Bloodline Purity will also suffice."

"Yes! Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape are rare. If it's Fifth Rank Monster Ape, the difficulty is much lower."

Zhao Tianhu echoed.

"I hoped that the Spirit Ape could inherit some of the Mountain Giant Ape's Divine Ability. I thought there were many Fifth Rank Monster Ape in the Lingxu Realm with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape."

Shen Long smiled wryly.

"How could there be many? There are many Fifth Rank Monster Ape, but Fifth Rank Monster Ape with Bloodline Purity of five are rare, let alone those with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape."

Zhao Tianhu said earnestly.

Li Tianxue nodded and said, "That's right! Even if you get the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape, it doesn't mean your Spirit Ape can inherit the Mountain Giant Ape's supernatural Divine Ability just by refining the Essence Blood. The Mountain Giant Ape is True Spirit, and the Divine Ability of True Spirit are not so easy to inherit."

"I saw it mentioned in the ancient texts and wanted to give it a try. Thank you for reminding me Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Li."

Shen Long thanked him.

"It's nothing. I had the same idea before, but raising Spirit Beast can't be rushed. We have to proceed according to the actual situation."

Zhao Tianhu comforted him.

After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Long returned to the Begonia Pavilion, entered the Cultivation Room, and then went into the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.

He fed the Fifth-Rank Wood Demon Crystal Core to the Tree Demon and a fifth-tier Yin Bead to the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove. They both fell into a deep sleep, Shen Long withdrew from the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.

He took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle, poured out a Golden Medicinal Pill with nine Pill Pattern on its surface.

"The Hundred-Jun Pill!"

Shen Long, talking to himself, popped the Hundred-Jun Pill into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a powerful energy that surged through his body. He quickly circulated his internal energy to refine this energy.

······

In Green Cicada Garden, Li Yunpeng and Li Yunting were talking about something.

"Do you think there's something wrong with the Transformation Art that Fellow Daoist Shen practices?"

Li Yunting asked in confusion.

"It's not that there's a problem, it's that this Transformation Art is very powerful. As you saw, without using the Transformation Art, Fellow Daoist Shen's physical strength is inferior to mine. But when he uses the Transformation Art, the gap between us is too great. Considering that he wants to possess the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape, could it be that he's using that Essence Blood for cultivation?"

Li Yunpeng guessed.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape are quite rare, and it won't be easy for him to find the Essence Blood of such Demon Beast."

Li Yunting analyzed, then remembered something and said, "I don't know who raised a high-level Spirit Scorpion. My Five-Colored Scorpion sensed the presence of a high-level scorpion and was very nervous. The purity of my Five-Colored Scorpion's Bloodline Purity has reached level four, while the other party's Bloodline Purity is at least level five."

"Since the Five-Colored Scorpion can't speak human language, can't it pinpoint the opponent's location?"

Li Yunpeng asked in confusion.

"No, it suddenly became restless and then returned to normal, which means the other party disdained to pay attention to it, and its Bloodline Purity may have reached level six."

Li Yunting's expression was solemn.

"What! The Spirit Scorpion's Bloodline Purity has reached level six? Impossible!"

Li Yunpeng said with some disbelief.

"I'm just guessing. I remember that Fairy Li raised a fifth-tier Ice Crystal Scorpion. It might have been caused by the Ice Crystal Scorpion. If I could get an Spirit Enlightenment Pill, my Five-Colored Scorpion could also speak human language, which would make communication much easier."

Li Yunting said in a regretful tone.

"There will be other opportunities in the future. I never expected Fellow Daoist Shen to be able to produce a fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon's Life-Bound Scale. Could he have killed a fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon?!"

Li Yunpeng asked curiously.

"It shouldn't be. Someone capable of slaying Flood Dragon of the same level wouldn't be an unknown person. I've never heard Fairy Li mention Fellow Daoist Shen before. I guess Fellow Daoist Shen was out on business before, and this time he came to the Marketplace with Fairy Li."

Li Yunting analyzed.

A cultivator capable of slaying Flood Dragon of the same level would already be famous in the region. She had never heard of Shen Long before, and guessed that Shen Long was exchanged with a fellow disciple.

Li Yunpeng nodded. "That makes sense. I guess he traded it for a ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood."
