Chapter 1089: Buy Resources 997

The Flying Snow Clan controls a large number of mines; however, they are not skilled in artifact refining and mostly exchange resources with the Human Clan.

On the stall were numerous ores. Chu Buyu pointed to five gold-and-white crystal stones and asked, "Taoist Friend, how much are these three pieces of Precious Crystals?"

"Exchange them for Immortal Wine that enhances Divine Sense."

The youth in white replied.

"Jade Lotus Immortal Brew can strengthen Divine Sense. How about trading it for these five Precious Crystals?"

Shen Long took out a green wine jug and handed it to the youth in white.

The Myriad Beasts Sect established a procurement hall, specializing in resource acquisition, with Jade Lotus Immortal Brew as one of its offerings.

The youth in white opened the jug lid, and a rich wine aroma wafted out.

Upon smelling the fragrance, the youth in white jolted in spirit and asked, "Can I try a sip? If it truly enhances Divine Sense, all five pieces of Precious Crystals will be yours."

Shen Long nodded. The youth in white took out a white jade cup and poured a cup of Spiritual Wine. The liquid was green.

The youth in white took a sip, his face revealing an expression of intoxicated contentment, praising, "Excellent wine, excellent wine! These five Precious Crystals are yours."

Chu Buyu smiled joyfully and put away the five Precious Crystals.

"I am Bai Rui. May I ask what the two Taoist Friends are called?"

The youth in white clasped his hands in greeting.

"I am Shen Long of the Myriad Beasts Sect, and this is my wife, Chu Buyu."

Shen Long introduced himself politely.

"The Myriad Beasts Sect? Are you the Immortal Lord of Myriad Beasts?"

Bai Rui asked curiously.

"Not at all. Taoist Friend Bai has heard of me?"

Shen Long replied with a smile.

Bai Rui nodded and said, "Indeed. There’s a rumor that Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu acquired rare materials on Nine Stars Island, which earned them a plot of land from Tianyue Sect. Consequently, many Taoist Friends ventured to Nine Stars Island to treasure hunt."

"Just lucky, that’s all. Taoist Friend Bai, do you have more Precious Crystals? We could trade with you."

Shen Long asked.

Precious Crystals are core materials for refining first-tier Immortal Puppets and not commonly available in the marketplace. The Myriad Beasts Sect has been collecting Precious Crystals but hasn’t gathered much.

"Some of my clansmen are also in Azure Dragon Marketplace. Let me ask them if they have Precious Crystals."

Bai Rui said while taking out a glowing white Law Disk, injecting a spell into it, and making some gestures.

After a moment, Bai Rui spoke, "Taoist Friend Shen, they have already traded away their Precious Crystals."

"No matter. If Taoist Friend Bai happens upon more Precious Crystals, do consider trading them to us. Rest assured, we will make it worth your while."

Shen Long said sincerely.

"No problem."

Bai Rui readily agreed.

After chatting briefly, Shen Long and Chu Buyu departed from the small stall and continued forward.

An hour later, they stopped before another stall.

The stall owner was a tall, thin old man in a green robe. Multiple exquisite wine jugs were displayed on the stall.

"Are all these Immortal Wines? What effects do they have?"

Shen Long inquired.

"There are three types: Green Bamboo Immortal Dew, Golden Luo Drunken Bliss, and Moon Luo Immortal Brew, all of which enhance Immortal Yuan Power. I brewed them myself."

The green-robed elder replied enthusiastically.

"I am Shen Long of the Myriad Beasts Sect. May I know how to address Taoist Friend?"

Shen Long asked.

This time, they were attending the Azure Dragon Conference with hopes of befriending more True Immortal cultivators.

"I am Dongfang Yi. I’ve long admired Taoist Friend Shen."

The green-robed elder’s smile deepened.

After a brief conversation, Shen Long purchased three jugs of first-tier Immortal Wine and continued onward with Chu Buyu.

They toured the marketplace, buying various items, most of them Immortal Medicine and Immortal Fruits.

As night fell, glowing runes emerged from the ground, emitting a soft white light that illuminated the entire marketplace.

An hour later, Shen Long and Chu Buyu found themselves on a sparsely populated street, a residential area.

As they passed a corner, Chen Lang approached them head-on.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, what a coincidence! Do you live nearby?"

Chen Lang greeted them.

"Yes, Taoist Friend Chen. If there’s any gathering, could we participate as well?"

Shen Long asked courteously.

"Taoist Friend Shen is too polite. Tomorrow evening at the hour of 7 to 9 PM, there’s a gathering organized by Taoist Friend Li of Qingxu Temple. He’s Senior Zhao’s disciple. The location is Qingxu Garden. If you’re interested, feel free to join us."

Chen Lang said.

"Certainly, we’ll be there."

Shen Long agreed.

After a brief conversation, Chen Lang departed.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu continued onward and arrived at the entrance of a three-story green pavilion. The plaque above read "Qingfeng Pavilion," and Su Changfeng stood at the doorway.

"Master, Mistress, you’ve returned."

Su Changfeng greeted them. He rented this place as their temporary lodging.

Shen Long nodded in acknowledgment, and together with Chu Buyu, walked into Qingfeng Pavilion, Su Changfeng following closely behind. The doors shut automatically.

"Master, your disciple has purchased a Green Marrow Jade Lotus over thirty thousand years old and two pieces of Precious Crystals."

Su Changfeng took out a green Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long gave Su Changfeng a thousand Immortal Yuan Stones, letting him buy whatever he desired.

"Any news of True Immortal Stage Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood?"

Shen Long asked as he received the Storage Bracelet.

"I’ve inquired with several True Immortal cultivators but found no leads."

Su Changfeng replied.

Shen Long wasn’t surprised. He offered a few reminders before stepping into a Practice Room to meditate and restore himself.

······

Located within a sprawling manor with a plaque that read "Azure Dragon Garden," stood two Nangong Family disciples at the door, their expressions solemn. Both were in the Mahayana realm.

In a green Stone Pavilion sat two men and two women: Sun Xi and Azure Origin Daoist among them.

"Taoist Friend Chu has perished?"

A voluptuous woman in a golden dress asked in surprise.

The golden-dress woman had exquisite features, with a green plum blossom mark on her forehead.

Nangong Yundan, early Golden Immortal stage.

"He was preparing to face his third minor Heavenly Tribulation. A strong enemy came to kill him, forcing him to break out of siege. Severely injuring himself, the arrival of the minor Heavenly Tribulation made survival impossible."

Sun Xi said regretfully.

"The power of Heavenly Tribulations grows with each occurrence. Already challenging, it becomes insurmountable for an injured tribulation transcendencer."

A stout white-robed elder remarked.

The elder had silver hair, with snow-white eyes.

Bai Bo, early Golden Immortal stage.

"Minor Heavenly Tribulations may be challenging for others, but Lady Nangong should find them manageable. The Nangong Family has deep reserves, including abundant Immortal Pills and treasures to weaken Heavenly Tribulations."

Sun Xi said with a tone of envy.

"That depends on which occurrence of the minor Heavenly Tribulation. For the first three, I can manage. The fourth would be quite arduous."

Nangong Yundan smiled gently, then asked, "Daoist Friend Zhao, why hasn’t your Two-headed Yan Dragon ascended to Golden Immortal stage yet?"

"I am aiming for it to cultivate into a True Spirit. If Monster Beasts ascend to the Golden Immortal stage before cultivating into True Spirits, the difficulty increases significantly."

Azure Origin Daoist explained.

"Indeed! The higher the rank of Spiritual Beasts, Birds, or Insects, the more challenging it is to cultivate into a True Spirit, and the rarer the auxiliary resources required."

Sun Xi agreed earnestly.

After chatting for an hour, the three departed.
