Chapter 1088: 996 Qingxu Temple, Flying Snow Clan

Ten years quickly passed, on Myriad Beasts Island.

In the Myriad Beasts Garden, Chu Buyu, Su Changfeng, Wang Changyao, and Shen Lang sat within a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"Calculating the time, the Azure Dragon Law Assembly is about to begin. Mistress, has Master not yet emerged from his retreat?"

Su Changfeng asked.

"Your Master should be coming out soon. Myriad Beasts Island will be entrusted to you all."

Chu Buyu replied.

They were set to participate in the Azure Dragon Law Assembly, while Wang Changyao and Shen Lang would remain to oversee Myriad Beasts Island.

Shen Lang and Wang Changyao agreed. The Myriad Beasts Sect had gathered numerous cultivation techniques, and Wang Changyao had found a suitable one, planning to enter secluded cultivation for a while.

"Madam Wang, aren’t you going to the Azure Dragon Law Assembly?"

Shen Long’s voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out from a green pavilion, his face full of smiles.

Ten years had passed in the outside world, but within the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, a hundred years had elapsed. With Shen Long’s assistance, the Qinglian True Flame gradually devoured a strand of Immortal Flame in batches, successfully elevating itself into an Immortal Flame.

Shen Long’s efficiency in alchemy had increased tenfold; now, refining a batch of First Rank Immortal Pills took less than a month.

"I’m planning to enter secluded cultivation, so I won’t be going."

Wang Changyao said.

She hadn’t yet grasped the Laws, and if she were to encounter a formidable enemy, she wouldn’t be able to resist.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Then, let’s set off! Watch over the Myriad Beasts Sect."

Chu Buyu summoned the Mysterious Fire Boat and boarded it, followed closely by Shen Long and Su Changfeng.

Chu Buyu formed a spell, and the Mysterious Fire Boat radiated a crimson light, flying towards the sky, departing Myriad Beasts Island.

Half a year later, the Mysterious Fire Boat came to a halt.

"So this is the Azure Dragon Marketplace?"

Su Changfeng murmured, his face brimming with curiosity.

Following his gaze, one could see an enormous azure dragon head. The azure dragon head lay sprawling on the sea’s surface, its blood-red maw wide open, revealing a thick green light gate within it.

"Entering from here will bring us into the Azure Dragon Marketplace."

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

A deafening dragon roar suddenly reverberated from the distant sky, interrupting their thoughts.

A flash of red light appeared from the horizon, flickering for a moment before revealing a massive crimson dragon with a waist-width girth.

The crimson dragon had two heads, its body covered with red scales. On its heads stood dozens of Immortals, led by a medium-built Qingpao Daoist.

The Qingpao Daoist’s face was pale gold, adorned with a jade-green crown, and holding a green whisk. His appearance exuded a celestial and austere aura.

"Qingxu Temple!"

Shen Long recognized their origins.

Qingxu Temple was a subordinate force of the Tianyue Sect, supported by several Golden Immortal cultivators. Its overall strength was comparable to that of the Ziyang Sect.

"Daoist Friend Zhao, I didn’t expect you to lead the team this time. Fairy Lin didn’t come?"

A clear, resonant feminine voice echoed from the far sky.

Soon after, a massive azure peacock appeared in the distant sky, quickly flying towards them.

Before long, the azure peacock stopped, its back carrying dozens of Immortals. Standing at the forefront was a voluptuous woman dressed in a blue skirt.

The blue-skirted woman had exquisite features, and wore on her left hand a blue Spirit Beast Bracelet. Behind her stood Chen Lang.

"Greetings, Senior Sun, Senior Zhao. I am Shen Long from the Myriad Beasts Sect (along with Chu Buyu)."

Shen Long and his two companions quickly bowed with respectful expressions.

The blue-skirted woman was named Sun Xi, one of the Ziyang Sect’s upper echelon.

"My Master Nephew Chen has mentioned you all to me."

Sun Xi nodded.

"Myriad Beasts Sect? Is it the newly-established Myriad Beasts Sect? I heard you’re Ascenders."

The Qingpao Daoist asked, his face curious.

His name was Qingyuan Daoist, a Golden Immortal at the early stage.

"That’s correct."

Shen Long admitted candidly; it wasn’t a secret.

Qingyuan Daoist nodded, then turned to Sun Xi and said, "Madam Sun, shall we go inside to discuss?"

He retrieved the crimson dragon back into his Spirit Beast Bracelet, leading the group towards the azure dragon’s head. Radiating Immortal Light, they effortlessly passed through the green light gate.

Sun Xi and her group quickly followed, along with Shen Long and his companions.

After crossing the green light gate, a wide and immaculate street unfolded before them, bustling with crowds, mostly Human Clan cultivators.

Su Changfeng, visiting such a grand marketplace for the first time, found everything novel. After notifying Shen Long, he wandered off alone.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu strolled together, observing their surroundings. After roughly ten thousand years since ascending to the Immortal Realm, their insights had grown significantly.

The Azure Dragon Marketplace’s scale was similar to that of the Tianyue Marketplace; however, it differed in that Azure Dragon Marketplace had a notably larger number of weapon shops.

The Nangong Family, renowned for their artifact refining skills in the Glazed Sea Domain, boasted the second-highest number of Immortal Artifact Masters. In terms of numbers, no power in the Glazed Sea Domain dared claim the first spot over the Nangong Family.

About an hour later, they arrived at a spacious green stone plaza, crowded with various small stalls.

"Oh, Taoist Friend Xu."

Shen Long exclaimed lightly and hastened his pace.

He approached one stall, where the stallholder was Xu Yan.

"Taoist Friend Xu, long time no see."

Shen Long greeted him.

"Taoist Friend Shen, it’s you! Looking to purchase something?"

Xu Yan responded warmly.

Shen Long scanned the stall, then shook his head and said, "I’m looking for Essence Blood from a True Spirit at the True Immortal Realm. Do you have it?"

"I don’t have that. Oh, but have you heard of Gold Luster Mystic Lightning Fruit?"

Xu Yan replied.

The mention of "Gold Luster Mystic Lightning Fruit" immediately caught the attention of nearby True Immortal cultivators.

"Of course. Do you have a Gold Luster Mystic Lightning Fruit?"

Shen Long asked with curiosity.

"I only have the kernel. The Gold Luster Mystic Lightning Fruit takes 1.2 million years to grow. If you can cultivate it fully into a fruit, you’ll certainly find it useful."

Xu Yan spoke while producing a golden jade box and handed it to Shen Long.

Learning it was merely a kernel, the surrounding cultivators lost interest.

True Immortal cultivators endure minor tribulations every thirty thousand years; the Gold Luster Mystic Lightning Fruit’s growth cycle spans four minor tribulations. No Loose Immortal would likely devote such an enormous amount of time and effort to cultivate one, at least not in its initial stage.

Shen Long opened the jade box, revealing inside a golden kernel about the size of an egg. Its surface was adorned with naturally occurring lightning-like veins.

"Taoist Friend Xu, name your price."

Shen Long inquired.

"I’d like to ask Fairy Chu to refine a Low Grade Immortal Artifact for me, in exchange for this kernel. How about it?"

Xu Yan asked eagerly.

"Sure, it’s a small matter. Let’s step aside to discuss further."

Chu Buyu agreed.

"I don’t have the time right now. How about this? I’ll contact you later; for now, you can take the kernel."

Xu Yan proposed.

Having frequently bought Immortal Pills and Immortal Artifacts from the Myriad Beasts Tower, Xu Yan trusted Shen Long and his sect enough to make this gesture.

"Alright, it’s a deal."

Shen Long agreed, taking the kernel.

He continued browsing the stalls alongside Chu Buyu, purchasing various First Rank Immortal Materials, most of them being Immortal Medicine and Immortal Fruits.

After tens of thousands of years of development, their financial resources had grown significantly, enabling them to afford everything needed by True Immortal cultivators.

Suddenly, Chu Buyu quickened his steps, arriving at a stall run by a tall, lean young man clad in white robes.

The white-robed youth had silver hair, snow-like skin, and even snow-white eyes. His figure resembled that of the Human Clan but marked him as part of the Flying Snow Clan, one of the Seven Great Powers in the Glazed Sea Domain, allied with the Tianyue Sect and Nangong Family.
