Chapter 1056: 965 Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower

"How do I know that there is no problem with the pill formula? I’ve heard that some people specialize in making fakes, slightly altering a formula and selling it under a different name. If seventy Immortal Yuan Stones is agreeable, I’ll pay immediately; otherwise, let’s forget it."

Shen Long’s tone was cold.

The red-robed elder furrowed his brows, acknowledging that the situation Shen Long described did indeed exist.

"Seventy is too little, eighty stones."

The red-robed elder haggled.

Shen Long didn’t speak and stood up to leave. He hadn’t taken three steps before the red-robed elder hurriedly spoke, "Taoist Friend, wait, seventy it is."

Shen Long stopped, paid the Immortal Yuan Stones, picked up the Green Lotus Cauldron and two Law Transmission Bamboos, and met up with Buyu.

They still had fifteen Immortal Yuan Stones left. Shen Long planned to buy a tome introducing refining materials for Buyu, but Buyu declined.

Starting is always the hardest; they are not rich now, so they need to save a bit.

An hour later, Shen Long and Buyu appeared in a nine-story green pavilion. The signboard read "Xuantian Pavilion," a shop run by the Ye Family.

The Ye Family is rooted in the Tianyue Sect; the family members are Sect-Born Disciples of the Tianyue Sect, have their own businesses, and their ancestor is a Golden Immortal.

Shen Long and Buyu walked in, and were greeted by a spacious and bright hall, where they could see a long green counter, behind which was a gleaming green jade wall.

A group of cultivators stood in front of the counter, negotiating with a green-robed attendant behind it.

The green jade wall was a Space Artifact. The green-robed attendant reached into the jade wall, and when he withdrew his hands, he held several porcelain bottles.

Shen Long and Buyu approached the counter, and he took out a jade talisman given to him by Ye Qingyu, saying, "I am Shen Long, this was given to me by Fairy Ye."

"Senior Shen, Senior Chu, please come upstairs; Uncle-Master Ye instructed that you should go to the seventh floor to find him."

A polite green-robed attendant said.

Shen Long put away the jade talisman, and went upstairs with Buyu.

Upon reaching the seventh floor, they saw a stout, yellow-robed elder and a tall, green-robed young man sitting at a green tea table, engaged in a leisurely chat over tea.

Seeing them, the yellow-robed elder and the green-robed young man stopped talking.

"I am Shen Long, this is my wife Buyu, Fairy Ye asked us to come."

Shen Long took out the jade talisman, introducing himself.

"I am Ye Yishan, this is my nephew Ye Qingli. Qingyu told me about your situation. You have just arrived in the Immortal Realm, start by getting familiar with the circumstances here! You can start alchemy later."

The tone of the yellow-robed elder was warm.

"Getting familiar won’t take long, if possible, I can start alchemy tomorrow."

Shen Long said politely.

He had never refined Immortal Pills and, wanting to be cautious, he intended to use the Ye Family’s influence to meet some pill masters to seek advice on refining Immortal Pills and make sure he had a solid grasp before personally crafting the pills.

Shen Long couldn’t immediately start refining Immortal Pills; that would be too reckless.

"Fine, let’s do this! Taoist Friend Shen, first refine these three types of Eighth Rank Elixirs, I’ll give you ten sets of materials; once you’ve crafted the pills, just hand them to Qingli, we’re not in a hurry."

Ye Yishan took out a green Storage Bracelet and passed it to Shen Long.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Ye."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude and took the Storage Bracelet.

"Taoist Friend Shen, you’re welcome. Do you have a place to stay?"

Ye Qingli asked enthusiastically.

They already knew Shen Long and Buyu were ascenders; they particularly valued them.

"We’ve rented the Qingpeng Pavilion. If you need anything, just contact us."

Shen Long spoke politely.

"Taoist Friend Shen need not be so courteous; our Ye Family highly values Ascenders, as you know the reason."

Ye Qingli’s tone was warm.

After chatting for half an hour, Shen Long and Chu Buyu bid farewell and left.

"Uncle, will they really join the Tianyue Sect?"

Ye Qingli asked curiously.

"Those who can cultivate to the Mahayana Realm in the Lower Realm and traverse the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations are considered exceptional among cultivators, and it’s natural for them to have great pride. But reality is harsh. Once they realize how difficult it is to maintain their daily cultivation, they will definitely regret it. By then, if we help them pass the examination and join the Tianyue Sect, they will naturally lean towards our Ye Family."

Ye Yishan said confidently.

"What if they make it on their own, manage to sustain their daily cultivation, or even thrive?"

Ye Qingli continued to ask.

"Does our Ye Family suffer a great loss then?"

Ye Yishan countered.

"That’s not the case."

Ye Qingli stated truthfully.

"Well then, that settles it. Forming a good relationship has no downsides and for us, it’s just a small effort, so why not do it."

Ye Yishan said with a smile.

Ye Qingli nodded and said, "I understand, uncle. I will build good relations with them. Once they become disciples of the Tianyue Sect, as Ascenders, the sect will invest more resources in them, and their chances of ascending to the Golden Immortal stage are quite high."

The Tianyue Sect values Ascenders highly, and the chances of Ascenders progressing to the Golden Immortal stage are higher, which is why Ye Qingyu is so enthusiastic.

Ye Yishan nodded in satisfaction and instructed, "It’s good that you understand this. Now, go ahead with your tasks! Taoist Friend Xu will soon come over to discuss some matters with me."

Ye Qingli agreed and withdrew.

A quiet street, a residential area with few pedestrians.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu stood at the entrance of a three-story tall Green Pavilion, with the name ’Qingpeng Pavilion’ inscribed on the signboard.

Shen Long took out a token to open the restriction and entered with Chu Buyu, the door closing automatically behind them.

"We know too little about the Immortal Realm, let’s first enhance our understanding. Without cultivating a Law, we must not leave the marketplace."

Shen Long stated solemnly.

"I have purchased some materials for refining Xuantian Treasures, and by selling Xuantian Treasures and Eighth Rank Puppet Beasts, we can make connections with some True Immortals, so let’s strive together."

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

Shen Long nodded, and he and Chu Buyu entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, reaching the ninth layer.

Upon Shen Lang ascending to the True Immortal Realm, the ninth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower was also opened to them. The ninth layer had roughly the same area as the eighth layer, with various terrains, but the difference was that it was filled with abundant Immortal Yuan Qi.

The spaces from the second to the eighth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower were filled with Spiritual Energy, whereas the ninth layer was filled with Immortal Yuan Qi, which was more abundant. This was also one of the important reasons why Shen Long and Chu Buyu chose the path of independence.

They could cultivate in the ninth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, where Shen Lang and Chu Yun were directing Shen Yuan and others in building the Spirit Medicine Garden and palaces.

As Shen Long knew, Mahayana Cultivators who transcended the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and ascended to the Immortal Realm could only take their Spirit Beasts with them; others could not accompany them unless they possessed some special treasures.

If a Cultivator hides within a Cave Heaven Treasure and ascends together with an Ascender to the Immortal Realm, they would be obliterated by the interfacing forces.

Shen Long wanted to experiment by having Shen Lang, Chu Yun, Shen Yuan, and Shen Hu stay inside the Myriad Beasts Tower. If they survived, it would prove the tower’s uniqueness, confirming Shen Long’s guess.

"Had I known we could bring along our avatars, I would have brought Junior Sister Lin and the others."

Chu Buyu said.
