Chapter 1112: 1020 Tianyun Sect

After a strong wave of dizziness, Shen Long opened his eyes.

He wanted to stand up, but felt an unbearable pain throughout his body, as if he was about to fall apart.

Only then did he notice that he was covered in blood, with exposed white bones visible in many places.

Golden light burst forth from Shen Long’s skin, and his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, disappearing without a trace.

He summoned the Myriad Bamboo Chart, infused it with a spell, and Chu Buyu and Shen Chan flew out from within.

When they were sucked into the void, Shen Long had instructed them to hide inside the Myriad Bamboo Chart.

"Husband, are you alright?"

Chu Buyu asked with concern.

"I’ve lost a lot of blood and energy, but after some recovery I should be fine. I just don’t know where we are right now."

Shen Long said, as he stood in a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Shen Chan’s eyes radiated a piercing golden light, surveying the surroundings.

"Master, two Human Cultivators are approaching."

Shen Chan said.

Shen Long spread his Divine Sense wide, sensing that two Mahayana Cultivators were moving toward them.

He stood up, spiritual light emanating from his body, as Shen Peng separated from him.

After a while, a green Escape Light flew over from the distance, paused as it flickered, and revealed a green luminous Flying Boat.

A tall and slender young man dressed in green robes, along with a plump woman in a purple dress, stood atop the green Flying Boat. Judging by their aura, they were just at the Great Vehicle Early Stage.

"Junior Mu Nianwei (Mu Nianlin), greets the esteemed seniors."

The green-robed young man and purple-dressed woman bowed respectfully, their demeanor earnest.

"Where is this place?"

Shen Long asked.

"This is the Golden Rainbow Mountain Range, territory controlled by the Mu Family. You seniors triggered the Alarm Formation, so we came to investigate."

Mu Nianlin replied cautiously.

"The Mu Family? We accidentally intruded here. Do you have a map showing the nearest marketplace?"

Shen Long asked.

"Yes, here’s the map."

Mu Nianlin produced a piece of green Beast Hide and offered it to Shen Long with both hands.

Shen Long glanced at it, noticing a great deal of text.

"Here are two vials of elixir for you. We’ll be on our way now."

Shen Long accepted the map, flicked his sleeve, and two green porcelain vials flew out, landing in Mu Nianlin’s hands.

"Thank you, esteemed senior."

Mu Nianlin expressed gratitude as he took the vials.

Chu Buyu activated the Mysterious Fire Boat, carrying them away from the area.

Half a month later, the Mysterious Fire Boat appeared above a sprawling crimson mountain range filled with numerous volcanoes, some of which erupted from time to time. The air was thick with the stench of sulfur, and the clouds were tinged deep red.

"Ahead lies Crimson Marketplace! We’re currently in Tianyun Sect’s territory."

Chu Buyu said.

The Tianyun Sect had a history spanning millions of years, boasting dozens of Golden Immortal Cultivators and ranking as a mid-tier power on the Ancient Cloud Continent.

Not long after, the Mysterious Fire Boat slowed its speed automatically, gently descending toward the ground.

"So this is Crimson Marketplace?"

Shen Long remarked in surprise.

Following his gaze, a towering Sky-Supporting Peak tens of thousands of feet high came into view. The peak was entirely crimson, resembling a colossal rod heated until red-hot, standing majestically between heaven and earth.

The peak was studded with numerous buildings stretching from its base to its summit, and cultivators could be seen moving about everywhere.

At the mountain foot stood a hundred-foot-tall red gate pavilion, with a signboard bearing the large characters "Crimson Marketplace."

The Mysterious Fire Boat descended near the pavilion, and Shen Long, along with three others, disembarked as Chu Buyu stowed away the boat.

"Let’s take a walk inside."

Shen Long said, striding toward the gate pavilion, with Chu Buyu and the others following closely.

The streets were spacious and clean, bustling mostly with Human Cultivators, though some Heterodox Cultivators were also visible, adding to the lively atmosphere.

The group split up, with Shen Long and Chu Buyu sticking together, while Shen Peng and Shen Chan wandered freely.

The weapon shops were plentiful here, and there were even Immortal Puppets for sale. By comparison, Elixir Shops were scarcer.

The Ancient Cloud Continent was rich in mineral resources, producing a variety of Immortal Wood.

An hour later, Shen Long and Chu Buyu stood outside an eighteen-story-high red pavilion. The square signboard displayed three golden characters: "Tianyun Tower," and many cultivators were entering and leaving.

Tianyun Tower was a shop set up by the Tianyun Sect, offering a wide range of goods.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu stepped inside, greeted by a spacious and bright hall. Behind long red counters was a series of tall red shelves displaying an abundance of ores and weapons, while red-clad attendants introduced items to customers.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu directly made their way upstairs, arriving at the fifteenth floor, where they saw a plump woman in a golden dress seated at a green Jade Table. Judging by her aura, she was clearly a True Immortal Cultivator.

"I am Madam Lin, the shopkeeper of Tianyun Tower. How may I assist you, Taoist friends?"

The golden-dressed woman stood up and greeted them warmly.

"We’ve heard that Tianyun Tower is the most influential shop in Crimson Marketplace. Do you happen to have Essence Blood of a True Spirit Five-Colored Peacock at the True Immortal Realm level?"

Shen Long asked.

"Essence Blood of a True Spirit Five-Colored Peacock? Unfortunately, no. Such Essence Blood has wide applications and is quickly purchased whenever it appears on the market."

Madam Lin explained.

Shen Long nodded, producing a green Jade Slip and handing it to Madam Lin. "Do you have these materials?"

"Most of them are in stock, but we’re looking to acquire Eight Treasures Mysterious Spirit Fruit and Goldglass Thunder Fruit at high prices as they’re rare Immortal Medicine and Immortal Fruit."

Madam Lin said.

"I’ll take 20 sets of the available materials."

Shen Long said.

Madam Lin nodded, retrieved a golden Law Disk, infused it with a spell, and began scanning.

"By the way, may I know how I should address you, Taoist friends?"

Madam Lin asked.

"I am Qian Long, and my wife’s surname is Chu."

Shen Long replied.

"Ah, Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu. Besides minerals and Immortal Wood, we also offer Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Arrays."

Madam Lin said enthusiastically, inviting them to take a seat.

During their chat, Shen Long learned that Tianyun Sect was hunting two Evil Cultivators at the True Immortal Realm.

"If you Taoist friends encounter traces of them, please inform us. Tianyun Sect will surely reward you handsomely."

Madam Lin said, presenting two portraits to Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

Shen Long glanced at the portraits, his expression neutral, and nodded in agreement, returning them to Madam Lin.

Soon after, a medium-built man in green robes approached holding a green Storage Bracelet.

"Give the items to Fairy Chu."

Madam Lin instructed.

The green-robed man passed the bracelet to Chu Buyu, who scanned it with her Divine Sense and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad; these are the materials I need. Here are some Immortal Yuan Stones, Madam Lin, please confirm receipt."

Chu Buyu produced a golden Storage Bracelet and handed it to Madam Lin.

Madam Lin verified its contents and nodded affirmatively.

After chatting for a while, Shen Long and Chu Buyu rose to leave.

Exiting Tianyun Tower, they began wandering through the streets.

Over an hour later, they came to a vast Green Stone Plaza bustling with numerous small stalls.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, it’s been ages since we last met."

A familiar male voice reached Shen Long’s ears.

Following the direction of the voice, Shen Long saw Dongfang Yi approaching with a cheerful smile on his face.
