Chapter 1092: 1000 Tianbao Immortal Alliance

"So, you are Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu? I’ve long heard of your esteemed names. This is not the place to talk; shall we find a quieter spot to discuss?"

Murong Xiao said politely.

"Madam, please stay here. I’ll be back shortly."

Shen Long greeted Chu Buyu briefly before leaving with Murong Xiao.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Shen Long and Murong Xiao appeared in a private room in a teahouse. A waiter soon brought in a steaming pot of Spiritual Tea, set it down, and quietly left.

"Taoist Friend Shen, here are the fruit cores and Essence Blood. Please inspect them."

Murong Xiao took out an exquisite green jade box and a golden jade vial and handed them to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the jade box and saw two fruit cores inside. After careful inspection, he confirmed they were genuine.

He removed the stopper from the golden jade vial, and a mass of golden liquid emerged, instantly condensing into a green peacock with golden wings.

A golden radiance from the jade vial enveloped the green peacock, drawing it back into the vial.

"Murong Taoist Friend, here are four Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills!"

Shen Long took out a green porcelain vial and handed it to Murong Xiao.

Murong Xiao removed the stopper and swept his Divine Sense through the contents. His face lit up with delight. "Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen! I will immediately contact my friend and ask him to come over."

He took out a glowing green Law Disk, cast a spell upon it, and fiddled with it for a while.

"Taoist Friend Xu has agreed to come. Taoist Friend Shen, please wait for a moment."

Murong Xiao said.

Shen Long nodded and asked, "Murong Taoist Friend, may I ask where you obtained the Golden Winged Wind Sparrow’s Essence Blood?"

"I seized it from an enemy who had acquired it at a trade exchange. By the way, Taoist Friend Shen, are the Immortal Pills you’re selling all refined by you?"

Murong Xiao asked courteously.

For a Loose Immortal, getting to know an Immortal Pill Alchemist was considered a stroke of fortune.

"Indeed. If Murong Taoist Friend gathers materials, you can also request my alchemy services. True Spirit Essence Blood or other suitable materials will suffice as payment."

Shen Long responded.

"Very well. If an opportunity arises, I will certainly ask for your help, Taoist Friend Shen."

Murong Xiao agreed.

After chatting for half an hour, a knock sounded at the door.

"Taoist Friend Xu has arrived."

Murong Xiao’s face lit up with joy as he quickened his pace toward the door. He opened it, and a rotund man adorned in a golden robe walked in, after which Murong Xiao closed the door.

The golden-robed man had a fair complexion, his eyes narrowed by the folds of his plump face. A golden flute hung at his waist, and his aura revealed that he was at the True Immortal Late Stage.

"I am Xu You. Greetings, Taoist Friend Shen."

The golden-robed man cupped his fists and spoke in a booming voice.

"Please, Taoist Friend Xu, have a seat. Murong Taoist Friend has already mentioned you to me."

Shen Long smiled warmly and gestured for Xu You to sit.

"Taoist Friend Xu, do you still have the Essence Blood of the True Spirit Five-Colored Peacock? Taoist Friend Shen is interested."

Murong Xiao asked directly.

"Yes, I still have it; however, I only trade, not sell. Taoist Friend Shen, what would you offer in exchange?"

Xu You asked.

Shen Long produced two golden jade boxes, opened them, and said, "Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Pills or Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills! But just for the Essence Blood alone, I wouldn’t offer too many pills."

"I also have the True Spirit Core of the Five-Colored Peacock. I want seven Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Pills and three Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills. How about that?"

Xu You took out a green jade box and a green jade vial and handed them to Shen Long.

After confirming their authenticity, Shen Long agreed to the exchange.

"Taoist Friend Xu, may I ask where you obtained the Five-Colored Peacock’s Essence Blood and True Spirit Core?"

Shen Long inquired politely.

"That, I cannot divulge."

Xu You declined.

Shen Long didn’t mind and simply said, "If Taoist Friend Xu acquires any more True Spirit Essence Blood or True Spirit Cores, please consider offering them to me first. Rest assured, the compensation will be favorable."

"Alright."

Xu You agreed.

After chatting for the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Xu You and Murong Xiao bid their farewells and left.

Shen Long returned to the marketplace, where Chu Buyu had sold off most of their wares. The Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pills and Seven Stars Nourishing Soul Pills had sold out completely, although they still had plenty more in stock but had chosen not to bring too many.

Chu Buyu packed up their stall and left the marketplace with Shen Long.

Back at their residence, Shen Long entered the Myriad Beasts Tower to meet Shen Sen.

"Take good care of these Immortal Medicine and Immortal Fruits, especially the Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruit and Nine Mysterious Jade Stallion Fruit. Designate a separate Immortal Medicine Garden for their cultivation."

Shen Long instructed, handing Shen Sen a green Storage Bracelet.

"Understood, Master."

Shen Sen responded reverently.

After a few more reminders, Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower and sat cross-legged on a green meditation cushion, entering meditation to adjust his breathing.

Flying Snow Garden—the lodging for cultivators of the Flying Snow Clan.

Bai Bo sat within a green stone pavilion. Standing nearby were a burly man dressed in white robes and a voluptuous woman in a white dress, both exuding an air of respectfulness.

"Bai Hao, you’re quite fortunate to have acquired the Absorbing Thunder Pearl from the body of the True Immortal Late Stage Golden Thunder Dove. At this upcoming Azure Dragon Convention, many Immortals will be present. Keep an eye out for any Immortal Pills or Elixirs that can heal the Divine Soul."

Bai Bo instructed.

"Yes, Elder Bai."

Bai Hao and the woman dressed in white responded simultaneously.

"Bai Bing, I heard you sparred with Nangong Zijun and lost to him."

Bai Bo’s gaze shifted to the white-dressed woman.

"It was my failing. I humbly accept any punishment, Elder Bai."

Bai Bing proactively confessed.

"It was merely a sparring match; there’s no need to punish you. I’ve brought you to participate in this Azure Dragon Convention so you can meet elites from other forces. Achieving minor mastery in Law cultivation is not unique to you. Remember, there are heavens beyond our heavens, and people beyond our people."

Bai Bo said earnestly.

"Nangong Zijun and we both have reached minor mastery in Law cultivation. Losing a spar isn’t a big deal. But it’s noteworthy that no True Immortal has yet been found capable of refining Dao Pills."

Bai Hao remarked.

"Those who can refine Dao Pills as True Immortals are prodigies. Forces won’t reveal such talents externally until these prodigies ascend to the Golden Immortal stage. Do not underestimate other cultivators, especially Loose Immortals; some are no less skilled than you."

Bai Bo advised.

"Understood, Elder Bai. We shall certainly learn from more outstanding Taoist Friends."

Bai Hao and Bai Bing responded in unison.

A month passed swiftly, and at Qingfeng Pavilion:

Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat in the main seats, listening to Su Changfeng’s report.

"The Tianbao Linglong Tower! Free trading? Mutual exchange?"

Shen Long’s face revealed an intrigued expression.

"Indeed. It’s an old tradition of the Tianbao Immortal Alliance. Only during large-scale auctions or conventions held at the Azure Dragon Marketplace does the Tianbao Immortal Alliance open the Tianbao Linglong Tower."

Su Changfeng explained.

The Tianbao Immortal Alliance is one of the six major forces of the Green Lotus Immortal Domain, with Daluo Golden Immortals stationed within. It operates as a commercial organization.

Branches of the Tianbao Immortal Alliance are found across the Green Lotus Immortal Domain. In the Glazed Sea Domain, the alliance’s branch is situated at the Azure Dragon Marketplace. It’s said that the Nangong Family’s ancestor is acquainted with a senior from the alliance, which is why their branch was established in the marketplace.

"Interesting. We’ll make a personal trip ourselves!"

Shen Long said.

He and Chu Buyu each consumed a Change Immortal Pill to alter their appearances and aura before leaving Qingfeng Pavilion.

By then, the sky had already darkened, but the marketplace remained brightly lit. The streets of the residential area were sparsely populated.

After more than an hour, Shen Long and Chu Buyu arrived at the golden-glowing entrance of a towering pagoda. The words "Tianbao Linglong Tower" were engraved prominently on the tower’s surface, with two True Immortal cultivators standing guard at the entrance.

Shen Long paid 100 Immortal Yuan Stones, and the guards allowed them to enter.

Stepping into the tower, they were greeted by a spacious, well-lit hall. On both the left and right sides, green jade staircases extended upward.

They ascended the jade stairs to the second floor, where they saw numerous stone chambers of varying sizes. Some chambers had doors wide open, while others were tightly shut.
