Chapter 785: Chapter 785
Shen Long entered a Practice Room, stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, and appeared on the fourth level.
In the distance, lightning flashed and thunder boomed, resounding with deafening roars of thunder.
A Spirit Beast was challenging the fifth rank, and Shen Long was not surprised.
He called Shen Lang over and asked, "How many rank six Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, and Spirit Insects do we have now?"
"Two Red Fire Monkeys, Ice Eagles, Sea-Stepping Turtles, Wind Thunder Centipedes, Thunder Mantas, Shen Dies, Golden Flame Lions, Spirit-Seeking Mice, Five-Colored Worms, Eight-Winged Soul-eating Centipedes, Five-Colored Phoenix Butterflies, Sky Tiger Beasts, Seven Stars Jade Silkworms, Flower Demons, and Shadow Beasts each, making a total of thirty," Shen Lang reported truthfully.
"Thirty! That’s not bad, how is their Purity of Bloodline?" Shen Long asked.
If it weren’t for the vast Cultivation Resources he obtained from the great race war, this would not have been possible.
"Mostly at five, but twelve of them have reached six, specifically the Red Fire Monkey, Wind Thunder Centipede, Sea-Stepping Turtle, Shen Die, Spirit-Seeking Mouse, and the Sky Tiger Beast," Shen Lang reported truthfully.
Shen Long’s face showed approval as he said, "Thirty is also pretty good. How is their regular training going?"
The training was strict; they formed two squads, treated each other as hypothetical enemies, and sometimes I and Shen Peng and others would take a hand in training them.
"You’ve placed restrictions on them all, right?" Shen Long asked.
"Of course, otherwise they wouldn’t be so easy to command. Currently, they can be divided into two small squads," Shen Lang said.
"Not bad at all, now that we have two Spirit Beast Squads. We can use them as a framework to develop a Spirit Beast Legion in the future," Shen Long commended.
"How many fifth rank Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, and Spirit Insects do we have? And how many of them have a Purity of Bloodline of five?" Shen Long asked.
"There are over three hundred, and a hundred and fifteen Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds have reached a Purity of Bloodline of five. There’s a significant gap in Cultivation Resources," Shen Lang answered truthfully.
It’s important to note that all the resources for these Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, and Spirit Insects’ advancement were provided by Shen Long, which was no small pressure.
Shen Long nodded and said, "Train them well, I hope they can be of use someday."
"This is silk from the Seven Stars Jade Silkworm, not much in quantity. They need to devour high-rank Spirit Jade to produce more silk," Shen Lang said as he took out a beautiful Green Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long took the Storage Bracelet and went to the second level, called Shen Xin over and asked, "Have we bred a mutated fifth-rank Red Fire Monkey?"
"We have, three in total. One has grown two extra arms, one has mastered Divine Sense Attacks, and another has grown an eye which can release beams to attack the enemy, with Divine Sense Attacks being the more formidable," Shen Xin reported honestly.
Originally, Shen Long instructed him to select five rank-four Red Fire Monkeys for separate rearing, and after their advancement to the fifth rank, he fed them premium Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills, resulting in three mutated Red Fire Monkeys.
"The mutation rate isn’t bad, but the Mutated Divine Powers are somewhat mediocre," Shen Long said.
"Master’s Spirit Beasts differ from those raised in the Myriad Beasts Tower," the voice of Shen Yuling, the Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Beasts Tower, who was familiar with its functions, rang out.
Shen Long nodded, gave a few instructions to Shen Xin, and then exited the Myriad Beasts Tower.
He had just left the Practice Room when Chu Buyu, with a much stronger aura than before, now at the Middle Stage of Void Refinement, was coming toward him.
Counting the time, it’s been almost two thousand years since Chu Buyu advanced to the Refinement Void Phase. This pace of Cultivation was neither fast nor slow.
"My lady, you’ve come out of seclusion!" Shen Long said with a look of joy on his face.
This meant they could go to the Thunder Continent to search for Chu Buyu’s great opportunity and, along the way, broaden their horizons through their travels.
Chu Buyu nodded with a smile and said, "Finally advanced to the Middle Stage of Void Refinement. We can go to the Thunder Continent to search for the great opportunity."
"There’s no rush for this matter. First, let’s handle the trivial matters at hand. Oh, and these are silks from the Seven Stars Jade Silkworm; my lady can use them to craft a defense inner armor," Shen Long said as he took out a Green Storage Bracelet and handed it to Chu Buyu.
Chu Buyu opened the case and saw some golden silk inside.
"There’s too little of it; this amount is far from enough to craft an inner armor," Chu Buyu said.
"After the Seven Stars Jade Silkworm advances to the sixth rank, it requires devouring high-rank Spirit Jade, which isn’t easy to come by," Shen Long replied.
"The Five-Colored Worm needs to swallow a large amount of metal ore to excrete Five-Colored Divine Clay, and the Seven Stars Jade Silkworm needs to consume high-grade Spirit Jade."
"Little by little adds up, and one day we will have enough materials,"
Chu Buyu said with a smile, and put away the green jade box.
Shen Long took out a law disk that flickered with red light, entered a spell, and Su Changfeng’s voice came out, "Master, I heard from Master Nephew Sun that you have left seclusion, and Aunt Master and I want to come to see you."
"We haven’t seen each other for a long time, come on over!"
"Okay, we’ll be there soon."
Su Changfeng replied.
"So many years have passed, Changfeng and Junior Sister Lin should have entered the Refinement Void Phase by now!"
Sun Lin is stuck at a bottleneck, still at the Divinity Transformation Stage, Su Changfeng and Lin Yutong are both Ascenders, and they are treated very well.
"It shouldn’t be difficult for them to progress to the Refinement Void Phase."
Shen Long commented, stowed the red law disk, and walked out with Chu Buyu.
They left the Golden Roc Pavilion and heard a deafening sound of thunder.
"Eh, someone is attempting to reach the Unity Stage!"
Shen Long said in surprise.
He could distinctly feel the changes in nature’s spiritual energy.
He leaped into the air and saw a huge mass of thunderclouds to the southwest, with dazzling lightning and thunder, an impressive display of might.
Shen Long nodded and landed on the ground.
"After all these years, it’s not surprising that a new Unity Cultivator would appear in the Qianling Sect,"
Chu Buyu remarked with a smile.
Soon, Su Changfeng and Lin Yutong arrived; they had both entered the Refinement Void Phase.
"You’ve both reached the Refinement Void Phase! Congratulations! Here are some resources for you, to celebrate your advancement to the Refinement Void Phase."
Shen Long took out two green storage bracelets and handed them to Su Changfeng and Lin Yutong.
Su Changfeng and Lin Yutong did not stand on ceremony and accepted the storage bracelets.
"Senior Brother Lin, I heard you were collecting high-grade ores and Spirit Jade. Here are some Spirit Jade and high-grade ores that I exchanged with a few fellow cultivators, along with some sixth-grade Demon Cores, which you might find useful,"
Lin Yutong pulled out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.
"Master, these are the resources I’ve collected, including materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining."
Su Changfeng took out a red storage bracelet and passed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long did not decline and accepted the two storage bracelets.
Their conversation drifted towards other topics as they chatted leisurely. Yuan Rui was out on business and had not returned.
"The Wang Family hasn’t found Master Qingyang?"
Shen Long was somewhat astonished.
"For a Void Refining Cultivator wanting to hide, it’s simply too easy. It’s very normal that the Wang Family can’t find him."
Lin Yutong said, and with a smile added, "I guess our Qianling Sect will soon have an additional Unity Cultivator."
"Who is attempting the Unity Stage?"
Shen Long asked curiously.
"Senior Brother Qin Han. He only returned to the Sect hundreds of years ago and was already at the Great Perfection of Void Refinement. I’ve met him a few times, and he should have no problem passing the Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations,"
Su Changfeng informed.
"So it’s Senior Brother Qin!"
Shen Long suddenly realized. He had long heard of Qin Han from Li Tianxue; Qin Han had been famous for many years and had been out for several millennia. Shen Long had never had the chance to meet him in person.
"This is great news, our Qianling Sect’s strength is growing stronger,"
Chu Buyu said with a laugh.
Sun Lin walked in, bowed respectfully, and said, "Uncle Shen, Su Qingyue has come to visit, and specifically asked for you. However, Sect Master Aunt has ordered that we do not allow outsiders in for the time being."
With Qin Han attempting Unity Stage, naturally, outsiders would not be permitted to enter Qianling Sect.
"I understand, I will go out now,"
Shen Long stood up and entered the Practice Room, stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, and proceeded to the second floor where he took the fifth-grade Red Fire Monkey that mastered Divine Sense Attacks, and left Golden Roc Peak with Chu Buyy towards the outside.
