Chapter 1179: 1183 Baixiao Tower

In the southern part of Skyfire Continent, a vast expanse of crimson mountains rise and fall, with a towering, cloud-reaching Sky-Supporting Peak. Numerous buildings adorn the mountain, and at its foot stands a golden tablet over a hundred feet high, inscribed with the words "Green Flame Marketplace" in large characters.

The Green Flame Marketplace is established by the Wu Family, one of the Seven Great Powers of Skyfire Continent. A Taiyi Golden Immortal has long stationed at the Green Flame Marketplace to deter any evil.

A streak of red escape light appeared at the distant skyline, swiftly flying toward the Green Flame Marketplace.

As the red escape light approached within a million miles of the Green Flame Marketplace, its speed slowed down.

The escape light dissipated, revealing a red flying boat over ten feet long, and on it stood three men and two women, including Shen Long, Shen Lie, and Shen Mei.

"Taoist Friend Qian, just ahead is the Green Flame Marketplace."

A gracefully shaped woman in a red dress pointed forward and said.

"We owe this to Senior Qian’s assistance this time, otherwise, my aunt Starspeech and I would have bid farewell to this life."

A handsome young man in white expressed his gratitude.

"Madam Chen, you’re too kind. It’s no more than a simple effort. As members of the Human Clan, how can we sit idle while you get killed by heterodox cultivators?"

Shen Long responded modestly.

Upon arriving at Skyfire Continent, they encountered Chen Xingyu and her niece being chased by two heterodox Golden Immortals.

Chen Xingyu hails from the Chen Family of Jinhua Valley, which is connected to the Wu Family.

Naturally, Shen Long did not standby; he had Shen Mei eliminate the two heterodox Golden Immortals.

"A kindness of life-saving, I cannot forget. We, the Chen Family, have multiple shops in Green Flame Marketplace. If you need assistance, feel free to ask."

Chen Xingyu promised.

"If needed, I will certainly ask."

Shen Long replied with a smile.

During the conversation, the red flying boat landed on the ground, revealing the bustling situation inside the Green Flame Marketplace.

The streets were crowded, and many figures of heterodox cultivators could be seen.

Chen Xingyu retracted the red flying boat and strode toward the mountain.

Upon entering the Green Flame Marketplace, Chen Xingyu and the others parted ways, while Shen Long, Shen Mei, and Shen Lie strolled slowly on the main street, observing the sights.

Skyfire Continent is rich in cultivation resources, producing abundant metal ores and fire attribute immortal medicine, immortal wood, and immortal fruit. The number of alchemists and immortal artifact masters is relatively large.

At a crossroads, Shen Long and his group split, with Shen Mei and Shen Lie tasked with purchasing resources.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long appeared in a wide Red Stone Plaza, where many stalls could be seen, and numerous Golden Immortal cultivators were present.

Shen Long’s gaze swept across the items on the stalls as he walked by.

He suddenly quickened his pace and arrived at a stall. The stall owner was a full-bodied woman in a purple dress, and various immortal medicine and wood were displayed on the stall.

"How much for these two Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruits?"

Shen Long asked, pointing to the two golden fruits.

The surface of the golden fruits had some silver-white patterns, resembling a miniature flood dragon.

The Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruit has a growth cycle of nine million years and can enhance the physical body of a Golden Immortal cultivator.

Shen Long cultivates the "Green Lotus Refining God Secret Manual" and "Taiyi Yuan Soul Method," with exceptionally strong Divine Sense and Divine Soul. If he wants to charge into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage, the physical body and Immortal Yuan Power must also be particularly strong.

"Exchange for materials that weaken Heavenly Tribulation."

The woman in the purple dress said.

Shen Long took out a golden jade box and handed it to the woman, transmitting, "What do you think about exchanging one Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruit for two Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruits?"

The Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruit can weaken the influence of a minor heavenly tribulation on Golden Immortal cultivators, being effective for the first three minor tribulations.

"Only one? The growth cycle of Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruit is much longer than Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruit."

The woman frowned.

"The effects of the two immortal fruits are different. If you don’t want it, just leave it."

Shen Long was about to take back the golden jade box.

Based on Immortal Yuan Stones, the Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruit indeed pales compared to Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruit, but for Golden Immortals facing minor heavenly tribulations, Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruit’s value far exceeds Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruit.

"Just one then, deal!"

Fearing Shen Long might change his mind, the woman quickly handed over the two Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruits to Shen Long.

With the Thunder Zhi Yuan Fruit, she would be able to face the next minor heavenly tribulation with ease.

Shen Long put away the two Golden Flame Jade Dragon Fruits and continued to stroll around.

He wandered through the Red Stone Plaza, purchasing a Blood Flood Dragon Tea Tree and a Seven-flame Forging Immortal Fruit Tree, both capable of strengthening the physical body.

Some stalls offered the True Spirit Core of Golden Immortal Realm True Spirits for sale, but Shen Long showed no interest.

For other immortals, cultivating a True Spirit is not easy, but for Shen Long, it’s not difficult.

After over two hours, night fell, and the marketplace was illuminated brightly.

Shen Long appeared on a quiet street, arriving at a three-story-high red pavilion. The plaque bore the words "Mysterious Fire Pavilion," with Shen Mei standing at the door.

"Shen Lie hasn’t returned yet?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"He’s on his way."

Shen Mei replied, inviting Shen Long inside.

"Master, these are the purchased fire attribute immortal medicine, immortal fruit, and seeds."

Shen Mei took out a yellow storage bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long accepted the storage bracelet and asked, "Any news about the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada?"

"No, I’ve inquired with several merchants, and while there are plenty of True Spirits in the Golden Immortal Realm, most are Spirit Beasts. Very rarely are they Spirit Insects."

Shen Mei responded.

After exchanging a few words, Shen Lie returned.

"Master, you guessed right, the Hundred Knowledges Building has a branch in Green Flame Marketplace, located at Lihuo Building."

Shen Lie spoke as he took out a square golden token, inscribed with "Hundred Knowledges" in characters on the front.

The Hundred Knowledges Building is a renowned intelligence network in the Green Lotus Immortal Domain; one needs a Hundred Knowledges Token to purchase intel from them.

In an ancient cultivator’s cave dwelling, Shen Long had obtained a Hundred Knowledges Token from a person originating from Huang Family in Huanglin Valley on Skyfire Continent, whose land falls under the Wu Family’s jurisdiction. Shen Long suspected there might be a Hundred Knowledges Building branch in Green Flame Marketplace, and he guessed correctly.

"Did you make contact with someone from Hundred Knowledges Building?"

Shen Long asked.

"Not really, but passing by Lihuo Building, the Hundred Knowledges Token reacted, indicating a branch of Hundred Knowledges Building is located at Lihuo Building. So, I quickly returned."

Shen Lie replied.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I’ll personally visit Lihuo Building, hoping for some news on the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada."

He consumed a Bewildering Immortal Pill, changing his appearance and aura before leaving the Mysterious Fire Pavilion.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long stood at the entrance of an eighteen-story red building, with a plaque bearing "Lihuo Building" in three golden characters.

Shen Long strode inside. The hall was spacious and bright, and more than a dozen True Immortal cultivators were drinking tea and chatting.

An elderly man in a green robe, with a healthy complexion, sat behind the counter, engrossed in the ancient text he held.

Shen Long approached the counter, tapped on it, and handed the Hundred Knowledges Token to the elderly man.

After checking the Hundred Knowledges Token to ensure there were no issues, the elderly man returned it to Shen Long, warmly inviting him, "Senior, please come upstairs."

Shen Long followed the elderly man to the fifteenth floor; however, a red curtain of light blocked the stairs leading to the sixteenth floor. Their bodies shone with Spiritual Light, and they easily passed through the red curtain, arriving on the sixteenth floor.

A full-bodied woman in a red dress sat beside a red tea table, sipping tea.

"Elder Xu, this senior is here to see you."

The elderly man said.

The woman waved her hand, and the elderly man withdrew.

"I am Xu Siyuan. How should I address you, friend?"

The woman politely said, serving a cup of tea to Shen Long.

"My surname is Shen, and I wish to inquire with Madam Xu regarding the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada’s news, Essence Blood, and True Spirit Core."

Shen Long directly started on the topic.
