Chapter 786: Chapter 786

Outside the Qianling Sect, Su Qingyue stood atop a flying boat, its surface gleaming with ceaseless streams of blue light.

Shen Long had promised to breed a mutated Red Fire Monkey for her, but there had been no news for some time, and Su Qingyue was getting anxious, so she came to inquire about it.

Two beams of Escape Light appeared in the distant sky; one flickered and halted, revealing the figures of Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

"Taoist Friend Shen, it’s been a while. Have you yet to breed a mutated Red Fire Monkey?"

Su Qingyue got straight to the point.

"I just managed to breed one not long ago. I was about to deliver it to Fairy Su, but I didn’t expect Fairy Su to come here personally,"

"Taoist Friend Shen, what is the mutated Divine Power?"

Su Qingyue couldn’t wait to ask.

"Divine Sense Attack! Even after feeding them the finest Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills, in the end, only a few Red Fire Monkeys can mutate,"

Shen Long said, producing a red Spirit Beast Bracelet and tossing it to Su Qingyue.

"Divine Sense Attack?"

Su Qingyue was somewhat disappointed but quickly came to terms with it. If the Red Fire Monkey’s mutated Divine Power were too strong, Shen Long wouldn’t have given it to her.

"Many thanks, Taoist Friend Shen,"

Su Qingyue expressed her gratitude.

"It was a matter already agreed upon. Fairy Su needn’t be polite,"

Shen Long said with a smile.

"Fairy Su, the Sect Master Senior Sister has ordered that outsiders are temporarily not allowed to enter the Qianling Sect; otherwise, we would have invited you inside for a chat,"

Chu Buyu spoke in an apologetic tone.

"I understand. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer. When I have time, I’ll visit again another day,"

After saying this, Su Qingyue formed a spell with her hands, and the blue flying boat emitted a dazzling blue light, turning into a beam of blue Escape Light and speeding off into the sky.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu exchanged glances before returning to Golden Roc Peak.

"Senior Brother Shen, Senior Sister Chu, Fairy Su left so soon?"

Lin Yutong asked in surprise.

"Fairy Su has pressing matters. Senior Brother Qin is attempting to reach the Unity Realm, and it’s inconvenient to allow outsiders in, so she took her leave,"

After some small talk for half an hour, Lin Yutong and Su Changfeng said their goodbyes and left.

Shen Long entered a practice room and stepped into Myriad Beasts Tower, appearing on the first level.

He produced a jade bottle radiating with ceaseless blue light and cast a spell into it. A beam of golden flame surged out, and the temperature swiftly rose.

The golden flame suddenly condensed and took the form of a Golden Fire Flood Dragon.

Shen Long opened his mouth and the Qinglian True Flame flew out, transforming into a colossal Green Fire Phoenix, which beat its wings and lunged at the Golden Fire Flood Dragon.

The Golden Fire Flood Dragon was no match for the Green Fire Phoenix, and it wasn’t long before it was devoured by the Green Fire Phoenix.

"Master, the energy of a sixth-grade Spirit Flame is truly powerful,"

the Qinglian True Flame said aloud.

"Sixth-grade Spirit Flames are indeed rare. It wasn’t easy to get my hands on one,"

Shen Long said with a smile as he retrieved the Qinglian True Flame. He moved to the fourth level, appearing above Thunder Roc Island.

Shen Peng flew up to meet him; it had been over a thousand years since he advanced to the Void Refinement phase. Coupled with sixth-grade elixirs and Demon Cores, he was now at the Middle Stage of Void Refinement.

With Shen Peng advancing a minor realm, Shen Long saved himself over two hundred years of arduous cultivation.

"Master, what brings you here?"

Shen Peng was overjoyed to see Shen Long.

"Take these cultivation resources and distribute them to Shen Xiao and the others,"

Shen Long said as he passed a golden Storage Bracelet to Shen Peng.

As the leader of the Spirit Beast Hall, Shen Peng was responsible for allocating resources to core members like Shen Xiao, Shen Ao, and others during non-combat times.

Shen Peng said, taking the Storage Bracelet with both hands. He then gave a detailed report on the training and Divine Skills of the Spirit Beast Squad.

Even after consuming the finest Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills, the members of the Spirit Beast Squad who mutated were few, and the mutated Divine Powers were generally not strong, with only a few Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds possessing stronger mutated Divine Powers being cultivated as core members.

"This isn’t your fault; they just grew up in Myriad Beasts Tower and didn’t have the same experiences as you,"

Generally speaking, for monster beasts to mutate, it was one in ten thousand. Through artificial breeding, having even one mutated beast out of a thousand Spirit Beasts was already impressive.

Shen Xin had separated five fourth-grade Red Fire Monkeys for breeding, feeding them all top-quality Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills. Three of the monkeys mutated, a very high rate.

The only downside was that the mutated Divine Powers were unpredictable. Shen Long had formed the Spirit Beast Squad precisely to amplify their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses.

Shen Long left Myriad Beasts Tower and proceeded to the Alchemy Room, taking out the Qianyang Cauldron and beginning the process of refining elixirs.

Myriad Wood Mountain Range, Wang Family.

In a serene manor, Wang Yunsong sat within a green stone pavilion, while a tall and skinny blue-robed youth was reporting to him.

"Patriarch, we have clarified the situation. The Qian Family had discovered Master Qingyang’s whereabouts. Several Void Refining Cultivators joined forces to eliminate Master Qingyang, but he escaped. After his injuries healed, Master Qingyang sought revenge on the Qian Family, and it’s not related to the Bloodvine Clan,"

the blue-robed youth reported.

"That’s good to hear. Changhong, have we not found Master Qingyang yet?"

"No, it is likely that Master Qingyang is no longer on the Green Lotus Continent. There are many trade caravans coming and going from the Green Lotus Continent; he probably left with one of them."

Wang Changhong reported truthfully.

"If we can’t find him, then let it be. By the way, make sure to punish those Cultivators who colluded with the Bloodvine Clan severely, to serve as an example to others."

Wang Yunsong instructed.

Wang Changhong complied.

Qianling Sect, Golden Roc Peak.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed high in the sky, where one could see clusters of green lotus flowers.

Chu Buyu and a pretty, purple-dressed young girl were sitting in the stone pavilion, enjoying tea and casual conversation.

"Senior Brother Shen has concocted another premium Elixir."

The purple-dressed girl praised, envy evident on her face.

Qin Yuqin. She was a descendant of Qin Han.

When Shen Long had advanced to the Refinement Void Phase, Qin Yuqin had only just been born. With the help of her kin, she had cultivated for over a thousand years to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

"Junior Sister Qin, are you also interested in Alchemy?"

Chu Buyu asked with a gentle smile.

"I’m more interested in Formations!"

Qin Yuqin smiled lightly; she was an Array Master.

After a while, the green lotuses and lightning both dispersed.

Shen Long emerged from the Golden Roc Pavilion, smiling as he spoke, "Junior Sister Qin, how did you come to be here?"

Qin Han had passed the Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and officially entered the Unity Realm.

"I am here on Grand Master Xuan’s orders to exchange for a few premium Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills with Senior Brother Shen,"

Qin Yuqin said with a smile, taking out a green Storage Bracelet and passing it to Shen Long, adding, "I’ve heard Senior Brother Shen is collecting high-grade ores and Spirit Jade. I wonder if these items could be traded for a few of the premium Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills."

Shen Long’s Divine Sense swept over the bracelet, and a flash of surprise flickered in his eyes. The Storage Bracelet contained numerous high-grade ores and Spirit Jade, as well as quite a few sixth-rank Demon Cores.

"Master Uncle Qin is too polite. These are five premium Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills, as our gesture of respect to Master Uncle,"

Shen Long returned the Storage Bracelet to Qin Yuqin and handed her a green jade box.

"Let’s keep the accounts clear! This was especially emphasized by Grand Master Xuan, and I cannot defy his wishes,"

Qin Yuqin insisted as she pressed the Storage Bracelet into Shen Long’s hand.

As the disciple of Yuling True Monarch and with Qin Han being a newly advanced Unity Cultivator, naturally, there would be no question of bullying by taking advantage.

Despite Shen Long’s repeated refusals, Qin Yuqin remained firm, insisting that he take it.

"Alright then! I shall accept it. By the way, does Master Uncle Qin plan to have a Unity celebration?"

Shen Long casually inquired.

"Grand Master Xuan has no such intention. He is currently in seclusion, and it’s uncertain when he will emerge,"

Qin Yuqin stated truthfully.

Shen Long nodded, then after chatting idly for half an hour, Qin Yuqin took her leave.

"My lady, we should also head to the Thunder Continent, in hopes of finding a great opportunity for you,"

Shen Long said gravely.

"I’ve looked into it, and the Green Whirl Alliance’s merchant ships are preparing to head to the Thunder Continent, and they’ve started selling tickets,"

Shen Long nodded and said, "Let’s get going then!"

He called for Sun Lin, handing him a green Storage Bracelet and speaking, "We plan to travel for a while. I’m entrusting you with these Cultivation Resources. You’ve worked hard these years; I hope you can advance to the Void Refinement stage, and I’m leaving you in charge of Golden Roc Peak."

Sun Lin accepted, visibly moved.

With premium Purple Dazzle Pills in the Storage Bracelet, it would have been difficult for him to obtain them on his own.

After giving Sun Lin several instructions, Shen Long left Qianling Sect with Chu Buyu.
