Chapter 710: Chapter 710

Qinglian Archipelago, Qinglian Marketplace.

Within the Transference Hall, quite a few cultivators were coming and going. A Transference Array lit up with dazzling spiritual light, and as the light dispersed, ten cultivators appeared atop the array, among them was Shen Long.

After leaving the Transference Array, Shen Long began to stroll around the streets.

He visited the large shops throughout the marketplace. There were sixth-rank Demon Cores for sale, all with Five Elements attributes. The Wind Attribute, Thunder Attribute, and Ice Attribute sixth-rank Demon Cores were somewhat rare, especially the Thunder Attribute ones, which the large shops purchased at high prices.

Two hours later, Shen Long arrived at an expansive Azure Stone Plaza, where many cultivators had set up their stalls.

His gaze swept over the items on the stalls as he walked and looked around.

A short while later, Shen Long stopped in front of a small stand. The stall owner was a woman in a white dress, with a figure slenderer than Shen Long’s and an aura slightly more powerful than his.

There were quite a few Monster Beasts Materials laid out on the stall, among them a golden jade box containing two silver-colored Demon Cores the size of chicken eggs.

"What kind of Monster Beasts’ Demon Cores are these?"

Shen Long pointed at the silver-colored Demon Cores and asked.

"They are Demon Cores of an early-stage sixth-rank Thunder Manta. For trade only, not for sale, elixirs preferred."

The woman in the white dress replied, her voice cool.

Shen Long took out a green jade box and passed it to the woman in the white dress.

The woman opened the jade box to find a Blood Ganoderma Golden Scales Pill inside.

"Top-grade Elixir! What kind of pill is this?"

The expression on the face of the woman in the white dress softened as she asked politely.

"Top-grade Blood Ganoderma Golden Scales Pill! It’s most suitable for recovering from substantial loss of qi and blood," Shen Long explained.

"I am Xu Bing. Taoist Friend Shen, do you have more Blood Ganoderma Golden Scales Pills?"

The woman in the white dress asked.

"That depends on how many Thunder Attribute sixth-rank Demon Cores you have. Two won’t be enough," Shen Long said.

"I only have two Thunder Attribute sixth-rank Demon Cores. How about this? In addition to these, I’ll give you three Ice Attribute and two Wind Attribute sixth-rank Demon Cores for another top-grade Blood Ganoderma Golden Scales Pill. What say you?" Xu Bing asked politely, her face filled with anticipation.

"Add two Earth Attribute sixth-rank Demon Cores," Shen Long bargained.

Xu Bing agreed without hesitation, understanding that owning two top-grade healing elixirs could potentially save her life one day.

Shen Long took out a blue jade box and handed it to Xu Bing.

After confirming it was correct, Xu Bing handed over the nine Demon Cores to Shen Long.

"Madam Xu has no small skill, being able to kill so many sixth-rank Monster Beasts," Shen Long praised.

"Strictly speaking, they were killed by our Monster Hunting Team. I am merely responsible for selling," Xu Bing explained.

Shen Long nodded; many cultivators typically formed teams to hunt Monster Beasts.

He stood up and continued to meander.

After perusing the Azure Stone Plaza, he didn’t find any more Thunder Attribute sixth-rank Demon Cores, but he purchased two millennium-aged Golden Thunder Grass plants.

Half an hour later, Shen Long arrived at a secluded street, a residential area.

He stood in front of a three-story green pavilion with "Qingmei Pavilion" inscribed on its signboard.

"Eh, Taoist Friend Shen, you’ve also advanced to the Refinement Void Phase."

A familiar male voice sounded.

Looking towards the source of the voice, Shen Long saw Xue Sheng approaching.

Years had passed, and Xue Sheng had also advanced to the Refinement Void Phase.

"Taoist Friend Xue, it’s been a long time," Shen Long greeted.

"I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Shen to be in Qinglian Marketplace as well. I live at Golden Bamboo Courtyard, Taoist Friend Shen should come visit me when you have time."

Xue Sheng said enthusiastically.

"Taoist Friend Xue, care to come in and chat?"

Shen Long extended the invitation.

"I still have some matters to attend to, another time perhaps!"

Xue Sheng declined tactfully.

Shen Long agreed, pushed open the door, entered, and closed the door behind him.

He went to a practice room, entered Myriad Beasts Tower, and appeared on the sixth floor.

High above, thunder flashed and lightning roared, with streaks of lightning flickering.

He found himself in a silver bamboo forest, where he could see some silver Spirit Bamboos with lightning-like patterns naturally etched on their surfaces.

Shen Long had purchased some Thunder Attribute Spirit Plants for Shen Lang to transplant to the sixth floor.

Walking through the bamboo forest, he arrived at the edge of a massive valley, with thunder booming and thick bolts of thunder and lightning descending from the sky into the valley.

Shen Long walked into the valley and saw the Thunder Roc spreading its wings, covered in golden arcs of electricity, silver bolts of lightning striking it without causing any harm.

From a distance, the Thunder Roc seemed to be bathing in the Thunder Sea.

The golden arcs of electricity on the Thunder Roc’s body dissipated, and the power of thunder and lightning from high above ceased to strike.

It had refined the Absorbing Thunder Pearl and the Leading Thunder Pearl, allowing it to harness the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth for cultivation.

"Master, you’re here."

The Thunder Roc spoke.

"I’ve got a sixth-tier Thunder Attribute Demon Core for you," Shen Long said as he took out a silver Demon Core and a stalk of golden grass to feed the Thunder Roc.

"As expected of a sixth-tier Demon Core, the energy it contains is abundant. Master, I will need some time to refine this monster power," the Thunder Roc said.

"Alright, take your time refining it," Shen Long replied.

Shen Long left Myriad Beasts Tower and took out a blue Beast Hide, which was an Ocean Chart.

He and Chu Buyu had entered Thousand Poison Cave on a treasure hunt and obtained a vial of essence blood from an early-stage sixth-tier Twin-Headed Flood Dragon, which possessed True Dragon Bloodline.

The fourth to sixth layers of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture required the essence blood of a sixth-tier Flood Dragon with True Dragon Bloodline to refine True Dragon Pills, aiding in the cultivation of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture.

Shen Long had already used up that vial of essence blood, and sixth-tier Flood Dragons were rare, not to mention those with True Dragon Bloodline.

Having spent some time in Qinglian Archipelago, he had collected quite a bit of information. Over five hundred years ago, a sixth-tier Flood Dragon was spotted at Qinglian Archipelago, but whether it had the True Dragon Bloodline was uncertain.

If a sixth-tier Flood Dragon did have the True Dragon Bloodline, then the Purity of Bloodline should be six. In other words, if Shen Long found a sixth-tier Flood Dragon capable of human speech, it was likely to possess the True Dragon Bloodline.

He put away the Ocean Chart and left his residence.

Once out of the marketplace, Shen Long summoned the Cloud Sea Boat, stepped on board, and struck a spell.

The Cloud Sea Boat shone with a dazzling blue light and flew high into the sky with great speed.

Seven days later, the Cloud Sea Boat appeared over a vast and boundless azure sea, with clear skies and a gentle sea breeze.

A deafening explosion echoed in the distance, and a huge blue light rose in the distant horizon.

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, which was now at the middle stage of the fifth tier.

The many eyes of the Hundred Eyes Cicada shone with blinding golden light as it said, "Master, it’s Qin Yang and the others. They are being chased by a Swallowing Sea Whale and have scattered in their escape."

"They’ve encountered a sixth-tier Swallowing Sea Whale!" Shen Long exclaimed.

Currently, his Divine Sense could extend up to three thousand miles at most, while most cultivators in the early stages of Void Refinement could project their Divine Sense to a maximum of two thousand miles.

Before advancing to the Void Refinement Phase, Shen Long had consumed many Miracle Elixirs that enhanced Divine Sense, along with the aid of Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, continually expanding his Divine Sense.

After entering the Void Refinement Phase, his Divine Sense surged based on the foundation he had built.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense detected that over two thousand miles away, a sixth-tier Monster Beast was pursuing several Soul Transformation Cultivators.

With a flick of his spell, the Cloud Sea Boat’s blue light intensified, and it flew swiftly towards the southwest.
