Chapter 1126: 1034 Tianchen Tokens, Tianchen Tomb

Shen Long and Chu Buyu nodded, turned around, and left. Shen Fu stayed in the plaza to keep an eye on Liu Yuanzong.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Shen Mei appeared at the Green Stone Plaza, walking around and examining things.

Shen Mei purchased some artifact refining materials and approached Liu Yuanzong’s stall.

"How much is this golden jade crystal?"

Shen Mei pointed at a golden crystal stone and asked.

"Exchange it for a First Rank Immortal Pill that heals Divine Soul injuries, Immortal Talisman, or Immortal Wine."

Liu Yuanzong replied.

"Resources to heal Divine Soul injuries are highly sought after, and golden jade crystal isn’t particularly valuable."

Shen Mei frowned and said.

"If you have resources for healing Divine Soul injuries, plus this True Spirit Core, how about it?"

Liu Yuanzong retrieved a finely crafted golden jade box, opened it, revealing a dirt-yellow crystal core inside.

Shen Mei examined it carefully, confirmed it as a True Spirit Core, then brought out a green jade box and handed it to Liu Yuanzong. She said, "One Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pill for the True Spirit Core and these artifact refining materials."

"Only one pill? That’s too expensive."

Liu Yuanzong frowned and said.

"If you think it’s too expensive, forget it."

Shen Mei got up and left.

"Wait, Fairy, please stay. Deal."

Liu Yuanzong quickly called out to Shen Mei.

Hengshan Sect and the Jinling Tribe are paying high prices to acquire resources for healing Divine Soul injuries; these resources are exceedingly rare.

Shen Mei paused her steps and exchanged items with Liu Yuanzong.

She continued to browse leisurely and purchased many artifact refining materials.

Two hours later, Shen Mei appeared at a secluded courtyard with green-tiled roofs. Inside the courtyard were a green pavilion and a green stone pavilion.

Shen Mei sat in the stone pavilion, holding a transmission mirror emitting a faint green light in her hand, with Shen Long’s face visible on the mirror.

"To be cautious, don’t rendezvous with us for now. Act according to my instructions."

Shen Long instructed.

"Understood, Master."

Shen Mei agreed, put away the transmission mirror, and walked into the green pavilion.

Time passed little by little, and the sky darkened.

Liu Yuanzong appeared near Shen Mei’s residence, and his gaze seemingly unintentionally swept past her living quarters.

It was apparent that he was very suspicious.

Liu Yuanzong did not linger and left.

At Qingyang Pavilion, Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat in chairs, their expressions grim.

Shen Long held a red glowing transmission mirror in his hand, the mirror reflecting Shen Fu’s image.

"Just as I expected, this guy is extremely cautious. He showed himself near Shen Mei’s residence, most probably tampered with the True Spirit Core."

Shen Long said with a hint of relief.

"You also tampered with the jade box containing the elixir. Let’s see whose trick will prevail."

Chu Buyu remarked.

"He wants to exchange for an Immortal Pill to heal Divine Soul injuries. Judging by his condition, it’s very likely for his own use. The Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pill won’t ensure a full recovery, so he might target Shen Mei instead. Perfect, we’ll use this as bait to lure the snake out of its hole."

Shen Long said coldly, his face filled with killing intent.

They had already ascended to the True Immortal Late Stage, no longer fearing Liu Yuanzong, who was at True Immortal Great Perfection. Of course, they were also after the Bu Tian Order.

"If Shen Mei were to leave the marketplace immediately, it would arouse his suspicion, wouldn’t it?"

Chu Buyu analyzed.

"Leave after a while. We must obtain the Bu Tian Order."

Shen Long said coldly.

······

A three-story high green pavilion, with a plaque bearing the large characters "Green Origin Pavilion."

Inside a secret chamber, Liu Yuanzong sat upon a green stone bed, a tall golden-robed youth standing respectfully beside him.

"Keep an eye on her residence. If she leaves, notify me immediately."

Liu Yuanzong instructed.

"Understood, Master."

The golden-robed youth agreed wholeheartedly and strode away.

"Only one Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pill; it’s insufficient for full recovery."

Liu Yuanzong murmured to himself.

He retrieved the Mysterious Soul Golden Essence Pill, placed it into his mouth, and began cultivating to heal his injuries.

······

A century passed. At the Jinluo marketplace, within a secluded courtyard with green-tiled roofs.

Shen Mei sat within the stone pavilion, holding a transmission mirror emanating spiritual light.

"Leave the marketplace? Understood, Master."

Shen Mei said.

"Leave in an hour. I’ll leave first and provide assistance outside. Shen Fu will assist you. If someone follows you, Shen Fu will alert you. When the time comes, you must leave the marketplace immediately."

Shen Long instructed.

"Understood, Master."

Shen Mei agreed, put away the transmission mirror, got up, and exited the courtyard, wandering the streets leisurely.

An hour later, Shen Mei appeared at the marketplace exit.

Shen Fu stood at the marketplace exit, not even glancing at Shen Mei, pretending as if he didn’t know her, turning his head to look into the distance as though waiting for someone.

Shen Mei understood; someone was tracking her.

Shen Mei maintained a calm demeanor and left the marketplace.

Exiting the marketplace, Shen Mei transformed into a streak of escape light and soared through the skies, soon vanishing into the horizon.

Shortly after, Liu Yuanzong and a golden-robed youth left the marketplace, pursuing Shen Mei’s trail.

More than an hour later, they appeared above a vast expanse of rolling green mountain ranges.

"Huh, Master, her aura has disappeared. It seems she’s aware of our pursuit."

The golden-robed youth frowned, lightly sniffing the air.

Liu Yuanzong furrowed his brow, unleashing his Divine Sense, but could not locate Shen Mei.

A sudden clap of thunder resounded, and an enormous silver lightning pillar tore through the heavens, aimed directly at Liu Yuanzong and the golden-robed youth.

At the same moment, the ground shook violently, emitting a powerful gravitational force. Their bodies were involuntarily dragged toward the ground.

"No good, it’s an ambush."

Liu Yuanzong exclaimed in shock, his right fist glowing with golden light as he punched forward.

The void tore open, and a golden giant fist emerged, charging toward the silver lightning pillar.
