Chapter 1091: 999 Murong Xiao

If it weren’t for the tenfold time acceleration on the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, Shen Long wouldn’t have been able to obtain such a large quantity of Mysterious Soul Golden Marrow Fruits and Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Fruits.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I’ll exchange this piece of sixty-thousand-year-old Mysterious Soul Immortal Wood for your piece of Profound Yin Immortal Wood."

Ximen Rong transmitted her voice, taking out a green storage bracelet and handing it to Shen Long.

Mysterious Soul Immortal Wood can be used to refine Divine Soul-type immortal artifacts. When worn, it strengthens the Divine Soul Power of its wearer.

Shen Long scanned it with his Divine Sense, nodded, and agreed to the exchange.

Materials of the Divine Soul type are quite rare; the higher their rank, the more precious they are.

Chu Buyu brought out a First Rank Immortal Puppet, a Low Grade Immortal Artifact, Immortal Pills, and Immortal Fruits for exchange, swapping Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Pills and Immortal Fruits for six pieces of Jade Vainglory Crystals.

The exchange lasted for over half an hour. Many cultivators took out valuable items, but what they sought wasn’t ordinary either. Only a few managed to exchange for what they needed.

After the exchange, Shen Long and the others started discussing Law Cultivation.

"Taoist Friend Li, I’ve heard there’s a True Immortal cultivator in your Qingxu Temple who achieved minor attainment in cultivating the laws. Why didn’t they join this Azure Dragon Gathering?"

Ximen Ting asked curiously.

"Is Fairy Ximen referring to Junior Brother Huangfu? Fairy Ximen has well-informed sources! Junior Brother Huangfu didn’t come."

Li Yao replied meaningfully.

"I’ve heard from friends that Taoist Friend Huangfu publicly demonstrated his minor attainment in law to fend off opponents. We originally thought we’d see Taoist Friend Huangfu at this Azure Dragon Gathering, but unexpectedly, he didn’t show up."

Ximen Ting said with a tone of regret.

"It makes sense for him not to come. If our Ziyang Sect had such a prodigy, we wouldn’t let him venture out alone unless he’s ascended to the Golden Immortal stage."

Chen Lang said, his face full of envy.

"Junior Brother Huangfu only cultivated the Ice Law to minor attainment; that doesn’t count as a prodigy. A True Immortal who comprehends a Supreme Law—now that’s a true prodigy."

Li Yao corrected her.

"Throughout the Glazed Sea Domain, the number of True Immortals who achieved minor attainment in the laws can be counted on one hand. Taoist Friend Huangfu cultivating the Ice Law to minor attainment is already impressive. I’ve heard he managed it thanks to acquiring a Third Grade Dao Pill."

Ximen Ting said curiously.

"I’m not sure about that. After Junior Brother Huangfu returned, he immediately entered seclusion to break into the Golden Immortal stage. Perhaps at the next Azure Dragon Gathering, Junior Brother Huangfu will have already ascended to the Golden Immortal stage.

Li Yao said, his face full of envy.

"Third Grade Dao Pill! There aren’t many Dao Pill Masters in the Glazed Sea Domain—they wouldn’t be able to refine a Third Grade Dao Pill, would they?"

Golden Ape Immortal Lord asked curiously.

"I don’t know about that. Anyway, our factions don’t have Dao Pill Masters—only the Seven Great Powers have them."

Zhang Yuan spoke in an envious tone.

"Indeed! Even a Second Rank Immortal Pill Master might not necessarily be able to refine Dao Pills."

Liu Hong agreed wholeheartedly.

"I’ve heard that with a Second Rank Immortal Flame, it might be possible to refine Dao Pills?"

Shen Long said.

"Having a Second Rank Immortal Flame only increases the likelihood of successfully refining Dao Pills. Without a Second Rank Immortal Flame, if a Golden Immortal cultivator mastered Fire Law to great attainment, they might also be able to refine Dao Pills. However, Dao Pills are divided into nine grades—the higher the grade, the harder the refinement. Anyway, I’ve never heard of a Dao Pill Master from the Glazed Sea Domain capable of refining Third Grade Dao Pills."

Liu Hong said.

"The Cultivation Realm is full of hidden talents—perhaps there are Dao Pill Masters who can refine Third Grade Dao Pills but haven’t publicized it."

Ximen Fei speculated.

After chatting for over an hour, the gathering ended. Cultivators gradually left, leaving only Li Yao and Zhang Yuan.

"Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu actually managed to bring out Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills and Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Pills; it seems their harvest from Nine Stars Island wasn’t small."

Zhang Yuan said.

"It might not necessarily be acquired from Nine Stars Island. It could also be a reward from Tianyue Sect—Mysterious Soul Golden Marrow Fruits and Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Fruits refined by Taoist Friend Shen into pills."

Li Yao speculated.

"Maybe! I wanted to probe them for more information, but Senior Ye issued a gag order."

Zhang Yuan said regretfully.

"If they don’t wish to say, then so be it. This time, I exchanged for a True Spirit Core and an Eight Treasures Glazed Fruit. I’m hoping my Spirit Beast can cultivate into a True Spirit."

Li Yao exclaimed with anticipation.

Leaving Qingxu Garden, Shen Long and Chu Buyu wandered the streets, walking and observing.

Over an hour later, they arrived at a square filled with stalls.

They selected an empty spot and set up a small stall. On the stall were Immortal Pills, Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, a First Rank Immortal Puppet, Immortal Fruits, Immortal Medicine, and Immortal Wood. A green wooden sign displayed on the stall read, "Exchanging for True Immortal Stage True Spirit Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood; Immortal Medicine, Immortal Fruits, and Immortal Wood are welcome too."

Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat quietly behind the stall, waiting.

In truth, given their current status, there was no need for them to perform such menial tasks—they could have sent Shen Xiao and others to man the stall. But Shen Long and Chu Buyu wanted to seize this opportunity to meet more True Immortal cultivators, especially Loose Immortals.

This Azure Dragon Gathering was lively and attracted many True Immortal cultivators, including powerful Loose Immortals. Loose Immortals roam freely across the four seas and have extensive connections. Shen Long aimed to inquire about the True Immortal Stage Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood through them.

They quickly attracted the attention of many True Immortal cultivators. Most of the items on the stall weren’t particularly noteworthy—even large shops sold them—but Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills and Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Pills were exceptionally rare, particularly the former.

Many True Immortal cultivators inquired about exchanging for Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills and Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Pills. After inspecting their offerings, Shen Long didn’t agree to any of the exchanges.

The items presented by these True Immortal cultivators simply couldn’t match the value required to move Shen Long and Chu Buyu—they were accustomed to seeing treasures.

"Taoist Friend, would the Essence Blood of a True Spirit Golden Winged Wind Sparrow from the True Immortal stage suffice? It’s a close relative of the Five-colored Peacock."

A tall man in a blue robe asked.

Shen Long shook his head. True Spirit relatives were numerous; only the Essence Blood of the Five-colored Peacock could be used to refine Peacock Pills.

"Taoist Friend, I’ll trade Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruits and Jade Vainglory Fruit Cores for a bottle of Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills—how about it?"

The blue-robed man transmitted his voice.

"Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruits and Jade Vainglory Fruit Cores? They’re only fruit cores—at most, three Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills."

Shen Long transmitted back.

Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruits and Jade Vainglory Fruits are precious Immortal Fruits for Golden Immortals, but the cores themselves aren’t highly valuable, as these fruits have growth cycles lasting millions of years—something True Immortal cultivators cannot afford to wait for.

"Five pills! I’ll also include the Essence Blood of a Golden Winged Wind Sparrow, and I can introduce you to a friend who possesses the Essence Blood of a True Spirit Five-colored Peacock."

The blue-robed man bargained.

After thinking briefly, Shen Long transmitted, "I’ll trade four Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills with you first. If you introduce me to your friend and help me secure the Essence Blood of the Five-colored Peacock, I’ll give you one more pill."

"No problem. I am Murong Xiao—how should I address you, Taoist Friend?"

The blue-robed man said courteously.

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

Shen Long replied.
