113: 79 Iron Tail Scorpion advances to the second rank, Divine Sense Attack_3 113: 79 Iron Tail Scorpion advances to the second rank, Divine Sense Attack_3 Qin Yuwei spoke.

“Since there’s nothing pressing, I’ll accompany Madam Qin on a visit.”

Shen Long politely said, packed up his stall, and followed Qin Yuwei to a quiet blue-tiled courtyard.

After sending a Sound Transmission Talisman, Qin Yuwei quietly waited.

“Madam Qin, Taoist Friend Shen, you’ve received the invitation too,” a confident male voice rang out.

Shen Long turned his head and saw a rotund man in a red shirt approaching, his plump face squeezing his eyes into thin slits.

“Taoist Friend Fang, you’re here as well,” Qin Yuwei greeted him with a smile.

The man in red was Fang Wei, a second-tier Talisman Maker, who had spent more than twenty years in the Profound Yin marketplace.

“I heard that Madam Sun from the Yin Corpse Sect was hosting a gathering, so I came over,” Fang Wei explained.

Shen Long smiled slightly and greeted Fang Wei.

The courtyard gate opened, and a young man in red came out.

“Eh, it’s you, Taoist Friend Shen,” the young man in red expressed in mild surprise upon seeing Shen Long.

Shen Long was also somewhat taken aback upon seeing the young man in red, as he had encountered two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect while resting in an ancient temple and the young man was Chen Feng.

“Taoist Friend Chen, you know each other?” Qin Yuwei asked puzzled, as she had not heard Shen Long mention this before.

“It’s a long story, please come in and we’ll talk,” Chen Feng invited them inside, where there was a three-story blue tower and a blue stone pavilion in the courtyard.

Three men and a woman sat in the blue stone pavilion, enjoying tea and conversation, and Sun Xing was also there.

“Senior Sister Sun, look who’s here, Taoist Friend Shen,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

Sun Xing’s gaze fell on Shen Long, and she said with a smile, “What a coincidence!

Taoist Friend Shen, it’s been over four years since we last met.”

“It’s been a long time, Madam Sun,” Shen Long greeted.

“Madam Sun knows Taoist Friend Shen?” a middle-sized man in a golden shirt asked curiously.

Liu Yushan, he was from the Sun Family, a cultivator family affiliated with the Yin Corpse Sect.

Sun Xing briefly explained the circumstances, and the Cultivators nodded in understanding.

Stroking his beard, Liu Yushan said, “I see, I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Shen to have known Madam Sun and Taoist Friend Chen for so long.

If Taoist Friend Shen had mentioned this earlier, we could have had the chance to reunite with Madam Shen sooner.”

“This isn’t really a big deal, nothing worth mentioning, if fate wills it, we’ll meet again,” Shen Long said nonchalantly.

“Meeting is a matter of fate, and it’s not easy to come across each other again.

Taoist Friend Shen, I offer you a cup of tea in place of wine,” Sun Xing courteously said, lifting her teacup and drinking it all in one gulp.

Shen Long also picked up his teacup and drained the tea inside.

The eight people began to chat leisurely, discussing the cultivation and the art of tea.

“By the way, the disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Sect have been more active recently, has something big happened?”

Qin Yuwei asked casually.

Recently, the activity of the Hundred Ghosts Sect’s disciples had been quite frequent and unusual.

“Not sure, the Hundred Ghosts Sect had previously destroyed the intelligence network that the Spirt Control Sect established in our Zhao Country.

Perhaps the scouts of the Hundred Ghosts Sect have discovered something again!”

Sun Xing speculated.

“The scouts of the Hundred Ghosts Sect are quite capable, indeed!

They easily rooted out the spies of the Spirt Control Sect.”

Shen Long said.

“A mutant ghost creature appeared in the Profound Yin Valley, and it was captured by the disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

It’s probably related to this mutant ghost creature.

Speaking of which, it was our Yin Corpse Sect disciples who discovered the creature first, but they were robbed by the disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.”

With some dissatisfaction, Sun Xing said.

The Yin Corpse Sect was the weakest of the four great powers in Zhao Country, far from the level of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

“Mutant ghost creature?

Can ghost creatures also mutate?”

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course, they can.

However, the chance of mutation in ghost creatures is even lower than that of spirit beasts and spirit insects, which makes mutant ghost creatures very precious.

The specific divine skills of that creature are not clear.

Not long after the Hundred Ghosts Sect’s disciples snatched it away, they broke the intelligence network of the Spirt Control Sect.

I don’t believe this is just a coincidence.”

Complaining, Sun Xing said.

“If this mutant ghost creature grows up, the strength of the Hundred Ghosts Sect will become even greater.”

Liu Yushan said with a face full of envy.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s discuss something else!”

Chen Feng changed the subject, as the topic was infuriating to them.

They talked about cultivation, from insights, ways to resolve bottlenecks, to techniques for advancing to the second tier of spells.

When the discussion turned to the hundred arts of cultivating immortality, Sun Xing said, “By the way, Taoist Friend Shen, I heard that you are a second-order alchemist capable of refining mid-grade elixirs!”

“My success rate isn’t high.

I have spent quite a few Spirit Stones purchasing pill formulas, and I can only refine two types of second-order elixirs, which are the Heyuan Pill and the Yellow Apricot Pill.

Why, is Madam Sun also an alchemist?”

Shen Long asked politely.

Both second-order pill formulas were bought from other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and Shen Long wasn’t afraid of the other party looking into them.

“No, I don’t have that talent.

Taoist Friend Shen, have you ever considered joining a sect?

It’s good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.”

Sun Xing said meaningfully.

“It’s good to enjoy the shade under a big tree, but every advantage has its disadvantage.

I have become accustomed to a life of leisure and do not wish to join other powers.”

Shen Long said.

Sun Xing nodded her head and changed the subject.

After chatting idly for a good half an hour, they began to trade items.

Sun Xing and the other four were interested in trading for Yin Pearls and Corpse Pearls; the higher the grade, the more they liked them, but Shen Long had none to offer.

Sun Xing produced a second-order Demon Ant’s Demon Core, and Shen Long traded it for a Yellow Apricot Pill, intending it for the Shi Jin Ant Queen to consume.

When it was Shen Long’s turn to trade, he offered second-order elixirs and artifact refining materials, hoping to exchange them for items of equivalent value, preferably second-order pill formulas.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to trade for any second-order pill formulas, only managing to obtain some materials for artifact refining and alchemy.

After more than an hour, the gathering dispersed, and the cultivators returned to their own homes.

No sooner had Shen Long returned to Qingtang Courtyard than he took out a messaging plate that flashed with blue light, channeled a spell into it, and Chen Liang’s voice came through: “Master Uncle Yu, I’ve obtained the item you wanted.

How should I deliver it to you?”
