Chapter 751: Chapter 751

"It’s hard to say; the Tianyuan Tribe’s innate divine abilities are indeed formidable, but we are skilled talents, not yet required to join the front lines and battle with heterodox cultivators."

Shen Long nodded and said, "Let’s return to Qianling Garden to rest and get settled before slowly exploring Tianxuan City."

He and Chu Buyu left the tea house and returned to Qianling Garden.

Just as they arrived back at the Golden Roc Courtyard, a tall and thin man in a gold shirt approached them.

"Disciple Li Xin pays respect to Uncle Shen and Master Aunt Chu; here are two Barbarian Plates, which record the powerful individuals among the heterodox cultivators, detailing their cultivation, divine skills, treasures, and weaknesses."

The man in the gold shirt bowed and brought out two Law Disks shimmering with spiritual light, passing them to Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

"Does Master Aunt Liu have any instructions?"

"No, if Grandmaster Liu has any instructions, I will inform Uncle Shen and Master Aunt Chu immediately,"

Shen Long nodded, allowing Li Xin to leave.

He entered a Practice Room, sat cross-legged on a yellow meditation cushion, and took out the Barbarian Plate, infusing it with mana.

The Barbarian Plate immediately radiated blinding spiritual light, and a mass of text began to appear on its surface.

The Hua Clan members are similar in stature to the Human Clan and excel in wood-based divine abilities; their innate divine ability is Yimu Spiritual Light, which can heal themselves and other cultivators. Each cast drains a large amount of vital energy. Some members of the Hua Clan are adept in illusion techniques. Their physical bodies and divine sense are relatively weak, which is their weakness.

The Tianyuan Tribe’s innate divine ability is Tianyuan Divine Light, which can instantly boost mana and thereby increase their strength; the higher their cultivation, the more mana is boosted, followed by a period of weakness afterward. One can either wear down a Tianyuan cultivator by a war of attrition or, if overpowered, seek help or escape early.

The Giant Spirit Clan possesses immense strength but poor reproductive ability; their innate divine ability is Giant Spirit Divine Light, which can temporarily fortify the strength of their physical body. Sonic, Thunder Method, divine sense attacks, and divine soul attacks are quite effective against the Giant Spirit Clan’s cultivators.

The Barbarian Plate detailed the heterodox cultivators’ innate divine abilities and weaknesses. Knowing the enemy allows for victory in every battle.

The Bloodvine Clan has many subsidiary races, and of course, the Human Clan also has subsidiary races, with the Spirit Clan being one of them.

In addition to text, the Barbarian Plate can also display images.

Shen Long changed the spell he was casting and transmitted it into the Barbarian Plate; a beam of spiritual light shot out from the plate, forming the illusion of a tall and thin man in a yellow shirt, with text appearing beside the figure.

Yin Qiao, in the Hollow Phasing Late Stage, hails from the Tianyuan Tribe. He is proficient in Earth-based divine abilities and possesses a Rank 6, Middle-Stage Spirit Beast, the Windfire Lion, and a Rank 6, Early-Stage Green Thunder Falcon. The Windfire Lion is skilled in wind and fire divine abilities, while the Green Thunder Falcon’s Thunder Method is very powerful, capable of performing the Thunder Escape Technique.

Changing the spell again, the illusion of the man in the yellow shirt and the text dissipated, and the Barbarian Plate emitted spiritual light, forming into an illusion of a beautiful woman in a purple dress, with colorful patterns on her skin.

Hua Xiaoxiao, Hollow Phasing Late Stage, born into the Hua Clan, capable of casting illusion techniques with her voice to trap enemies within, her Dharma Nature can conjure Yimu Spiritual Light for self-healing.

A five-story golden pavilion with a plaque that reads "Hundred Poisons Pavilion" in green characters.

In a secret room, the Hundred Poisons True Monarch lies on a green jade bed, pale and with a listless aura.

Han He stands beside him, his expression respectful.

"To have exchanged for so much Silver Real Water is good news; hopefully, it will hatch the Spirit Beast Egg of the Purple-Pupil Swallowing Spirit Python."

The voice of the Hundred Poisons True Monarch was weak.

After slaying many heterodox cultivators, he obtained a wealth of possessions, including a Spirit Beast Egg of the Purple-Pupil Swallowing Spirit Python, which carries the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, one of the True Spirits.

Han He nodded and responded, "Great ancestor, please concentrate on healing. I have already steeped the Spirit Beast Egg in Silver Real Water, hoping it will hatch."

"Taoist Friend Shen is proficient in Insect Repelling and Beast Taming as well as Alchemy; it would be wise to form a good relationship with him. One day we might need his assistance,"

the Hundred Poisons True Monarch advised.

Han He agreed readily; it was precisely what he had in mind.

Three days passed swiftly at Qianling Garden.

In the Golden Roc Courtyard, six individuals, four men and two women, chatted leisurely under a blue stone pavilion: Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Li Yunpeng were among them.

"Taoist Friend Shen is an Alchemist, and Fairy Chu is an Artifact Refiner, truly a perfect match,"

a ruddy-faced elder in a blue robe praised.

Li Yunlong, in the Hollow Phasing Late Stage from the Li Family, was also capable of concocting supreme elixirs.

"In less than a thousand years, Taoist Friend Shen has advanced to the middle stage of Void Refinement. It took me more than three thousand years to cultivate to that level."

A voluptuous woman in a golden dress spoke, her face full of envy.

Ning Yue, in the middle phase of Void Refinement, she was an Artifact Refiner, born in the Nine Flames Sect.

A burly man in a red shirt smiled slightly and said, "Taoist Friend Shen is a Spirit Controller, and his Life-Bound Spirit Bird has advanced to the sixth rank, which can save a great deal of time in arduous cultivation. Moreover, with the help of elixirs, it’s not surprising that his cultivation speed is faster."

Lin Huang, late stage of Void Refinement, he could refine top-grade elixirs and hailed from the Nine Flames Sect.

"Taoist Friend Lin could choose to change his cultivation technique and cultivate the Spirit Control Technique,"

Shen Long joked with a smile.

"I’m not interested in that. It’s not easy for spirit beasts and spirit birds to advance to a major realm. Even if they grow to the seventh rank, the purity of their bloodline may not reach seven, preventing them from transforming into human form, which is always an issue. If it dies and its path is destroyed, I would also be affected,"

Lin Huang shook his head without hesitation.

All cultivators knew the benefits of possessing a Life-Bound Spirit Beast or Spirit Bird, but the drawbacks were obvious too; if such a creature died and its path was destroyed, the cultivator would also suffer severe consequences.

"Every advantage has its disadvantage. You can’t expect to reap all the benefits for yourself,"

Li Yunpeng said nonchalantly.

"It’s up to personal choice! Speaking of which, do any of you have a Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly, or know someone who might?"

He had asked his sect mates, but no one had a Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly, which was quite a rare Spirit Butterfly.

"A Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly? This type of Spirit Insect is highly ranked and very precious; I certainly don’t have one,"

Li Yunpeng shook his head.

Lin Huang and the other two also shook their heads; they didn’t have a Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly either.

Shen Long wasn’t surprised by this. If it had been so easy to obtain a Five-Colored Phoenix Butterfly, Zhang Yiming would have already done so.

Chu Buyu took out a law disk that emitted red light, infused it with a spell, and said, "Husband, Taoist Friend Wang has called us to the Qingxuan Tower to assign us a mission."

Almost at the same time, Lin Huang and the other two also took out their communication treasures and infused them with a spell.

"We have also received a message from Taoist Friend Wang, to serve at the Qingxuan Tower,"

"You go ahead! We’ll chat later,"

Shen Long nodded, and the six of them left Qianling Garden.

Half an hour later, Shen Long and the others arrived at a vast azure stone plaza. In the center of the plaza stood a towering azure tower a thousand feet high, with "Qingxuan Tower" carved into its side in large characters. Many cultivators were entering and exiting.

Two Soul Transformation Cultivators stood guard at the entrance, their expressions solemn.

The Qingxuan Tower was an upper-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure forged by the Wang Family. It had its own internal space that allowed for the cultivation of Spiritual Medicine, alchemy, artifact refinement, beast taming, fish breeding, and more.

A tall man in a green robe walked out from the Qingxuan Tower and quickly approached Shen Long and his group, bowing deeply as he spoke, "This junior is Wang Yilin. Would the esteemed seniors please follow me?"

Shen Long and the others followed Wang Yilin into the Qingxuan Tower. The main hall was spacious and bright, with many cultivators exchanging Kind Attribute for cultivation resources, most of them at the Nascent Soul Stage.

On the twelfth floor, they saw a scholarly-looking man in a green robe sitting behind a green tea table, on which was set a delicate tea set.

"Elder Wang Changxian, the five seniors have arrived,"

Wang Yilin spoke and then stepped back.

"Welcome, five Taoist friends, to support the front lines. Please, have a seat,"

Wang Changxian invited Shen Long and his companions to sit, pouring each a cup of Spiritual Tea from the teapot.

"Taoist Friend Wang, we’re not here to drink tea. Please assign us our missions. We can drink tea later,"

He was eager to start alchemy to earn Kind Attribute and exchange it for cultivation resources with the Wang Family.

"Taoist Friends Shen, Li, and Lin are alchemists, and you will be responsible for alchemy. Fairy Chu and Fairy Ning will handle artifact refining. First, here are three sets of materials for you. Refine them into finished products and submit them. We’ll assign further tasks based on the results,"

Wang Changxian took a slow sip of tea and said calmly.
