Chapter 1087: 995 Refine First Rank Immortal Flame

Qingpeng Pavilion, Shen Long sat on a chair, holding a shimmering Law Disk in his hand.

"She was actually able to bring out a First Rank Immortal Flame! It seems she isn’t truly a Loose Immortal."

Shen Long murmured to himself.

He cautiously analyzed the situation, but was uncertain whether the force behind Jin Qianqian would send someone to track Shen Xin.

He entered the Myriad Beasts Tower and found Shen Mei. He commanded, "Shen Xin is currently conducting a deal. Go assist him and bring him back."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Mei readily agreed. She was proficient in Illusion Techniques.

Shen Long gave her a few reminders and handed her a Cave Heaven Treasure before leaving the Myriad Beasts Tower together with her.

The door of Qingpeng Pavilion opened, and a plain-featured young maiden in a cyan dress stepped out—it was Shen Mei, who had altered her appearance.

Seeing no other pedestrians on this street, Shen Mei finally ventured forward.

Green Tea Building, in a private room.

Jin Qianqian and Shen Xin sat beside a green jade table, with Shen Xin holding a golden jade vial in his hand.

"Taoist Friend Jin, please confirm the goods for yourself."

Jin Qianqian took out a palm-sized golden gourd. Judging by its Immortal Qi fluctuations, it was a Low Grade Immortal Artifact.

Shen Xin received the golden gourd and removed its stopper. A cluster of golden flames shot out, rapidly increasing the temperature in the room. Shen Xin felt as though he were submerged in molten lava.

Jin Qianqian formed a spell with her fingers, and the golden gourd emitted blinding golden light, releasing a ray of golden radiance that enveloped the golden flame and drew it back into the gourd.

"A deal! Fairy Jin."

Shen Xin said, handing the golden jade vial to Jin Qianqian.

Jin Qianqian inspected the contents and nodded in satisfaction. Warmly, she said, "Taoist Friend, leave me a way to contact you! If you come upon something good in the future, feel free to reach out to me anytime."

"If I have need, I’ll contact Fairy Jin via the Messaging Plate."

Shen Xin took out a Law Disk shimmering with cyan light and handed it to Jin Qianqian.

"Alright, no problem. Taoist Friend, you can reach me anytime."

Jin Qianqian agreed wholeheartedly.

"I still have matters to tend to, so I won’t linger any further."

Shen Xin rose, bid farewell, and departed.

······

Qingmei Garden, Liu Yuqian and Liu Yang sat within a green Stone Pavilion, conversing.

"Shen Long has ascended to the Middle Stage of True Immortal? It seems the materials he acquired on Nine Stars Island were exceedingly rare, and his Sect provided him with substantial resources. That’s the only reason his cultivation progressed so swiftly."

Liu Yuqian frowned and commented.

"So many years have passed, yet we’ve heard nothing of Taoist Friend Xu. They must have been killed. We haven’t heard Shen Long or Chu Buyu mention Taoist Friend Xu, so we can’t be certain whether they were the ones who eliminated him."

Liu Yang said.

"We must prepare for the worst—that they were the ones who killed Taoist Friend Xu. Regardless, they don’t have the makings of great figures. Senior Brother Ye is the one who truly deserves our attention. The Nangong Family is organizing the Azure Dragon Conference; let us attend. We may have the chance to acquire a Miracle Elixir that assists Spirit Beasts in cultivating into True Spirits."

Liu Yuqian’s face revealed a look of yearning.

······

Myriad Beasts Island, Myriad Beasts Peak.

Chu Buyu and Shen Lang sat inside a green Stone Pavilion, conversing.

A beam of Escape Light descended from the sky and landed before them—it was Shen Long, his face beaming with a smile.

"Husband, you’ve returned! Did you acquire anything valuable?"

Chu Buyu asked with a smile.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I exchanged a drop of Golden Spirit Immortal Milk for a cluster of First Rank Immortal Flame."

"What? You managed to obtain a First Rank Immortal Flame?"

Chu Buyu exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Long briefly recounted the events. Chu Buyu analyzed, "This Jin Qianqian is indeed remarkable—she was able to bring out a First Rank Immortal Flame so swiftly."

"Indeed! I specifically sent Shen Mei to assist Shen Xin, observing every detail without detecting any trackers. Only then did I return."

Shen Long replied with a smile.

He planned to refine the First Rank Immortal Flame to enhance his alchemy skills.

Chu Buyu nodded and said, "There’s still some time before the Azure Dragon Conference begins. Husband, refining the First Rank Immortal Flame in the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower should be no problem."

After exchanging a few words, Shen Long stepped into a Practice Room and entered the first layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He summoned a golden gourd and activated it with a spell.

The golden gourd emitted golden light as its stopper flew off. A cluster of golden flames emerged, transforming into an enormous Golden Fire Phoenix, causing the temperature to rise rapidly.

The Golden Fire Phoenix lightly flapped its wings and charged toward Shen Long.

Shen Long snorted coldly. His right fist radiated brilliant golden light as he punched forward, summoning a Golden Giant Fist that struck the Golden Fire Phoenix.

A deafening explosion occurred, and the Golden Fire Phoenix’s body shattered into a cascade of golden flames.

The golden flames quickly converged, reforming into the enormous Golden Fire Phoenix once again.

As soon as the Golden Fire Phoenix reformed, another Golden Giant Fist shot forth, striking its body.

With another loud bang, the Golden Fire Phoenix once again dissolved into golden flames.

This repeated five times until the Golden Fire Phoenix’s recovery began to slow.

Shen Long opened his mouth, releasing a cluster of cyan flames that transformed into a massive Cyan Phoenix. The Cyan Phoenix flapped its wings lightly and charged at the golden flames.

After consuming part of the golden flames, the Cyan Phoenix retreated into Shen Long’s sleeve.

The energy contained within the First Rank Immortal Flame was astonishing, requiring the Qinglian True Flame to digest it gradually in multiple sessions.

Shen Long formed a spell, and the golden gourd emitted a ray of golden radiance that enveloped the golden flames before drawing them back into the gourd.

He stowed away the golden gourd and ascended to the Ninth Layer inside the Myriad Beasts Hall. Entering a Practice Room, he sat cross-legged.

The time flow in the Ninth Layer was accelerated. He should be able to refine the First Rank Immortal Flame before the Azure Dragon Conference convenes.

······

Golden Leaf Island, the Qian Family.

Golden Leaf Garden, Qian Sifeng, Qian Yilin, and Qian Yuying sat within a green Stone Pavilion, conversing.

"What? Someone obtained the Golden Rhyolite Thunder Fruit from Nine Stars Island?"

Qian Sifeng frowned and said.

"Absolutely true, but this person has since vanished. Should we send someone to infiltrate Nine Stars Island?"

Qian Yilin asked.

"No. Nine Stars Island is far too dangerous. If it weren’t for the Ning Family Patriarch perishing on Nine Stars Island, we wouldn’t have had such an easy time overtaking Qingfeng Island. My preparations still seem adequate; I should have no issue passing the next minor Heavenly Tribulation. As for the one after that, it’s hard to say."

Qian Sifeng’s expression showed a hint of fear as he spoke.

The minor Heavenly Tribulation was an inevitable ordeal for True Immortal cultivators, growing increasingly powerful with each occurrence.

"The Myriad Beasts Sect has been expanding in recent years. We’ve managed to develop three spies within their ranks, but we still haven’t reached their core inner circle."

Qian Yuying reported.

"As a fledgling sect, it’s already fortunate we don’t provoke trouble with the Myriad Beasts Sect. They won’t dare antagonize us unless they have the support of Ziyang Sect. If I recall correctly, within ten thousand years, Ziyang Sect’s Great Elder needs to face a minor Heavenly Tribulation as well—they shouldn’t be looking for conflict anytime soon."

Qian Sifeng remarked.

"The Wei Family asked us to collect resources to weaken heavenly tribulations. We ourselves are short on supply; I’m not sure how we’ll meet their demands."

Qian Yilin said with a troubled expression.

"Promise them, for now. Whether we can gather resources to weaken heavenly tribulations will depend on luck."

Qian Sifeng instructed.

They dared not offend the Wei Family. For now, they chose to agree, regardless of whether or not they could deliver.
