Chapter 798: Chapter 798
Apart from a supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, there were also many other valuables. There were over a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones and plenty of materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, we owe our success in breaking through the restriction to you. Please choose three treasures first! We can divide the rest afterward,"
Zhang Shuo said politely.
Strength speaks in the Cultivation Realm, and the strengths of Shen Long and Chu Buyu had surprised them. Naturally, Zhang Shuo knew what to do.
Chu Buyu selected the supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, while Shen Long opened two cyan jade boxes sealed with Silver Talismans, each containing a Qinglian Fruit. He took two Qinglian Fruits, leaving one for the others.
They divided the remaining treasures, with Shen Long and Chu Buyu taking sixty percent, leaving forty percent for Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing. They obtained one Qinglian Fruit but no seventh-order Elixirs.
"Daoist Friend Zhang, it was a pleasure working together. I hope you won’t speak of today’s events to others,"
If word got out that they had a supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, it might attract unwanted trouble.
"Of course, Taoist Friend Shen can rest assured, we know what to do,"
Zhang Shuo agreed readily.
"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, until we meet again,"
Zhang Qing said as he clasped his hands in salute.
They turned into two escape lights and flew away, leaving the place.
"They sure ran off quickly. It seems they were worried about our master changing his mind and going after them,"
Hundred Eyes Cicada commented.
In Chu Buyu’s right hand appeared a jade ruler, continuously swirling with golden light. The words "Qian Yang" could be seen on it.
"Let’s also leave this place! As a precaution, we’ll need to change our appearances for the next part of our journey,"
It’s necessary to guard against others, as there’s no telling whether Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing would betray them.
Master Qingyang once owned a supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure and was coveted by many Void Refining Cultivators. Shen Long didn’t want to follow in Master Qingyang’s footsteps.
The Iron Tail Scorpion burrowed up from the ground and flew back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.
Chu Buyu summoned the Qianhuo Boat, which carried them away.
Qixuan Marketplace was a large marketplace controlled by the Shangguan Family, bustling with merchants and rich in Cultivation Resources.
The streets were spacious and clean, with a tide of people flowing through them.
In a tranquil manor, a voluptuous woman in a purple dress was sitting with Wu Bin in a cyan Stone Pavilion, talking about something.
"What! They encountered Cultivators from the Five Lights Clan?"
Wu Bin frowned as he spoke.
He had spent a hefty sum to buy intelligence from the Eight Directions Tower about the whereabouts of Fairy Xuanbing and Blood Witch True Monarch.
"Yes! We only found out after making inquiries from various sources that two elders from your Qingmei Business Alliance were likely killed by Cultivators of the Five Lights Clan. As for the reason, that’s not clear. If Daoist Friend Wu is interested, we can send people to gather information, but the price is steep,"
The woman in the purple dress speculated.
The Five Lights Clan was one of the ten great clans of the Thunder Continent and had a hostile relationship with the Human Clan.
"No need to bother. Knowing the reason is useless, as we can’t afford to provoke the Five Lights Clan. Let’s just let it go! Thank you, Madam Li,"
"We earn money for our services; it’s what we should do. You’re too kind, Daoist Friend Wu,"
The woman in the purple dress said with a tender smile.
After a brief chat, Wu Bin excused himself and left.
Half a quarter of an hour later, he appeared in a secret chamber, muttering to himself, "It seems that the Ten Thousand Spirits Command has fallen into the hands of a Five Lights Sect Cultivator."
The main reason he was so eager to find out the cause of death of the two Unity Cultivators was that they had a Ten Thousand Spirits Command on them—this was the most important thing.
The Five Lights Clan was not an entity he could afford to provoke; Wu Bin could only accept his bad luck.
In the Red Scale Market, a blue Escape Light appeared in the distant sky. With a flash, it came to a stop, revealing a blue Flying Boat with its light flowing continuously. Shen Lang and Chu Yun stood upon it.
Chu Yun had advanced to the Refinement Void Phase, and both she and Shen Lang were in the early stages.
Shen Lang stored away the Blue Flying Boat and, together with Chu Yun, entered the Red Scale Market. They rented a three-story cyan loft and settled in.
Chu Yun and Shen Lang came to a Practice Room. Chu Yun flicked her sleeve, and the Qinglian Map flew out, hovering in mid-air.
She flew into the Qinglian Map and, bringing Shen Long and Chu Buyu, flew back out.
"We have arrived at the Red Scale Market, and we’ve settled into this Qingzhu Pavilion," Chu Yun said.
"That’s good, you two go ahead with what you need to do," Shen Long replied.
To prevent Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing from having Alien Beasts like the Pursuing Spirit Beast, they hid inside the Qinglian Map and had Shen Lang and Chu Yun deal with matters outside.
He and Chu Buyu entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, arriving at the fourth level, appearing on Myriad Beasts Island.
"My great fortune must be Master Qingyu’s Zouhua Cave. Two Qinglian Fruits are nothing to be excited about, nor are the more than six hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones. A supreme Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that can break through realms, however, is indeed a precious item," Chu Buyu said excitedly.
The Qianyang Ruler could break through realms and spaces, and with this treasure, Shen Long and Chu Buyu could travel to parallel realms of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, which was far more valuable than a supreme Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure meant for attack.
They had searched the Thunder Continent for more than three hundred years to no avail, and if not for Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing’s invitation, they would not have found such a great fortune.
"Indeed! The willow planted by the roadside becomes the shade without intent," Shen Long said with a smile. With the Qianyang Ruler, even if enemies were to trap them using a Cave Heaven Treasure, unless it was a Supreme Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, they could use the Qianyang Ruler to escape.
Chu Buyu nodded, "I never imagined that it would take an invitation from Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing for us to find my great fortune. If it wasn’t for my husband exchanging resources with them, they wouldn’t have invited us to hunt for treasure together. Without their help, we would’ve had no idea how much longer we would’ve had to search the Green Qilin Mountain Range, which is now called the Poison Dragon Valley."
"Indeed! Thus, it’s always good to forge kind connections," Shen Long said, his face full of smiles.
"Having found great fortune, we can now focus on secluding ourselves for a while, doing our utmost to improve our cultivation," Chu Buyu suggested.
After some idle chatter, Shen Long and Chu Buyu each went into the Alchemy Room and Practice Room, respectively.
Shen Long brought out the Qianyang Cauldron and sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion.
They had obtained two Qinglian Fruits, the main ingredient for the Eighth-Order Elixir, Qinglian Cleansing Spirit Pill. Shen Long didn’t have the skills to refine the Qinglian Cleansing Spirit Pill; he didn’t even possess the Pill Formula.
He planned to save the two Qinglian Fruits for when they were needed, as even consuming them raw had excellent detoxifying effects.
Shen Long took out a Golden Gourd, which contained the Essence Blood of a Golden-Eyed Flood Dragon, a Sixth-Rank Essence Blood with a True Dragon Bloodline. He intended to use it to refine True Dragon Pills to supplement his practice of the Myriad Beasts True Scripture.
He opened his mouth and the Qinglian True Flame flew out, landing beneath the Qianyang Cauldron, and the temperature within the room quickly rose.
Shen Long started adding Alchemy Materials into the Qianyang Cauldron in succession, before covering it with the cauldron lid.
There was enough Essence Blood to refine a batch of True Dragon Pills, which would be sufficient for his cultivation up to the Hollow Phasing Late Stage.
Within the Qianyang Cauldron, the Spiritual Medicine quickly melted into a pool of liquid under the high temperature, merging with the Golden-Eyed Flood Dragon’s Essence Blood. The Essence Blood slowly solidified under the extreme heat, and a peculiar fragrance wafted out from the Qianyang Cauldron.
Shen Long concentrated intently on the Qianyang Cauldron; he had refined True Dragon Pills many times before and was experienced in the process.
