Chapter 1214: 1218 Trap

After chatting for more than an hour, the exchange ended, and Xu Sen proposed exchanging resources, to which Shen Long and six others agreed.

Xu Sen took out three Fourth Grade Dao Pills to trade for Immortal Medicine and Immortal Fruits that strengthen the Divine Soul.

Shen Long used high-year Immortal Medicine to trade for some rare second-grade Immortal Materials, while Murong Hong brought out a Primordial Soul Flower over three million years old, which Xu Sen took in exchange.

Shen Long currently does not have much demand for the Primordial Soul Flower, as the Myriad Beasts Tower can cultivate them.

After half an hour, the exchange ended, and the cultivators gradually left, leaving only Xu Sen and Lu Yue.

"Taoist Friend Qian and Taoist Friend Murong’s Divine Soul is exceptionally strong; they must also be cultivating the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method!"

Lu Yue speculated.

"Perhaps! The Taiyi Yuan Soul Method is widely spread, but the Dao Technique ’Blooming Qinglian’ has vanished. If this Dao Technique fell into our Profound Mystery Sect’s hands, our sect’s power could increase significantly; unifying the Profound Mystery Seas wouldn’t be a problem."

Xu Sen said regretfully.

"Indeed! Compared to the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method, the Dao Technique ’Blooming Qinglian,’ speaking of which, back then, the Gongsun Immortal Clan had over ten million members; they couldn’t have all died, right?"

Lu Yue was full of curiosity.

"Such a massive family must have some backup plans, but perhaps their strength isn’t sufficient to make a claim! Without Dao Stone, obtaining a Dao Technique is useless for cultivation."

Xu Sen replied indifferently.

"I thought we could find a Dao Stone, but it turns out none of them had it."

Lu Yue sighed.

"Not surprising. If I had a Dao Stone, I wouldn’t trade it with Golden Immortal Cultivators; I’d directly exchange it for the complete Taiyi Yuan Soul Method."

Xu Sen said solemnly.

Leaving Purple Moon Garden, Shen Long didn’t linger on the streets and returned to Qingyun Pavilion.

He entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, reached the tenth floor’s Qianyang Hall, entered an Alchemy Room, and sat down cross-legged.

Chu Buyu was near the Enlightenment Stele, contemplating Law. If she could cultivate Laws to Great Achievement, her power might increase tenfold.

After sitting quietly for half an hour, Shen Long shook his sleeve, and the Qianyang Cauldron flew out, landing on the ground.

He took out a palm-sized Golden Gourd and cast a spell.

The cork of the Golden Gourd flew open, and a blob of golden liquid emerged, suddenly condensing into a Golden Cicada.

With a pinch of Shen Long’s spell, the Qianyang Cauldron sprayed out a band of golden light, enveloping the Golden Cicada, sweeping it inside the cauldron.

He opened his mouth, and the Qinglian True Flame flew out, dropped to the bottom of the Qianyang Cauldron. He continued to throw other materials into the cauldron, closed the lid, and the temperature swiftly rose.

······

A three-story golden pavilion, with a plaque reading "Yunshu Pavilion".

Shangguan Yuruo sat on the main seat, holding a Transcendent Mirror glowing with golden light, on which could be seen a tall, slender man in blue robes.

"My friend has already established a connection with Yin Hun, but luring him out won’t be easy."

The man in blue robes said.

"I understand, Taoist Friend Xun, rest assured. Upon success, I’ll reward you generously."

Shangguan Yuruo promised.

"Alright, I’ll inform Madam Shangguan for the latest updates on him."

The man in blue robes said solemnly.

Shangguan Yuruo nodded and put away the Transcendent Mirror.

······

Time elapsed, three thousand years passed.

In a Practice Room at Qingyun Pavilion.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red meditation mat, his eyes slightly closed, with a layer of golden light covering his body.

After a while, he sensed something, the golden light on his body dissipated, and he opened his eyes.

He took out a red-glowing Transmission Immortal Mirror and cast a spell, Shangguan Yuruo appeared on the mirror’s surface.

"Taoist Friend Qian, I received news that Yin Hun left Qingxiang Marketplace and went treasure hunting."

Shangguan Yuruo said excitedly.

"Treasure hunting? Where was he going? Why so sudden? Madam Shangguan, how did you get this news?"

Shen Long asked doubtfully.

"I have someone close to him. By chance, he acquired a treasure map; it’s said to record Fairy Yu He’s Zouhua Cave, and Fairy Yu He was a disciple of Immortal Lord Tian Meng. It might contain the complete Taiyi Yuan Soul Method. They’ve already set out, and my contact hastily informed me; this is the best time to act."

Shangguan Yuruo said.

"What’s the cultivation level of the person you set up beside him? No problems, right?"

Shen Long questioned.

"I saved him; without me, he would have perished. But few people know of this connection. He’s been active in Qingxiang Marketplace. Meeting Yin Hun was by chance, Yin Hun shouldn’t suspect."

Shangguan Yuruo said slowly.

"Do you know where Fairy Yu He’s Zouhua Cave is located, or do you have a way to lock onto his location?"

Shen Long continued asking.

"I don’t know the location of Zouhua Cave, but I can track his location. Taoist Friend Qian, Fairy Yu He’s relics might contain the complete Taiyi Yuan Soul Method; this opportunity cannot be missed."

Shangguan Yuruo said.

Shen Long pondered for a moment and then said, "After one cup of tea, we’ll meet at the marketplace exit. Change appearance, don’t use true form."

"No problem, agreed."

Shangguan Yuruo agreed and cut off communication.

Shen Long’s spell changed, and Shen Chan’s image appeared on the Transmission Immortal Mirror’s surface.

"Any news of the complete Taiyi Yuan Soul Method?"

Shen Long asked.

"No, we’ve attended underground auctions or Golden Immortal cultivator gatherings, but found no clues."

Shen Chan sighed.

"Forget it, return, and accompany me on a task, perhaps there’s a chance to obtain the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Chan agreed.

Putting away the Transmission Immortal Mirror, Shen Long walked out.

Not half an hour passed before Shen Chan, Shen Lie, and Shen Fu returned.

Shen Long took a Bewildering Immortal Pill, altering his appearance, and retrieved them into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, leaving Qingyun Pavilion.

He arrived at the marketplace exit, waiting quietly.

Soon, a woman in golden dresses with artistic features approached.

"Taoist Friend Qian?"

The woman in golden dresses asked.

"Indeed."

Shen Long recognized Shangguan Yuruo’s voice.

"Taoist Friend Qian, let’s depart! We’ve delayed too long, it’s difficult to catch up to them."

Shangguan Yuruo urged.

Leaving the marketplace, Shangguan Yuruo summoned a Golden Flying Boat and stepped aboard, with Shen Long following closely.

Shangguan Yuruo cast a spell, and the Golden Flying Boat illuminated with golden light, transforming into a remnant image and disappearing.

Half a month later, the Golden Flying Boat appeared in a stretch of azure ocean. Shen Long and Shangguan Yuruo stood atop, with differing expressions.

Shangguan Yuruo held a Golden Divination Disk in her hand, with a silver needle on its surface, pointing ahead.

The silver needle suddenly rotated, directing towards the southwest, and Shangguan Yuruo manipulated the Golden Flying Boat to fly southwest.

After an hour, the Golden Divination Disk emitted a sharp screeching sound.

"They’ve stopped, seems they’ve reached the destination."

Shangguan Yuruo said excitedly.

"Let’s wait, observe first."

Shen Long said solemnly, releasing Shen Chan.

Shen Chan’s eyes gleamed with dazzling golden light, probing the surroundings.

"Master, it seems they’ve discovered us. Four Golden Immortal cultivators waiting on an isolated island, one has transformed into a Demon Ape, apparently eavesdropping on our conversation."

Shen Chan reported.

"Transformed into a Demon Ape? Eavesdropping on us?"

Shen Long’s eyes flashed with surprise.

"He’s transformed into True Dragon Form and is attacking us."

Shen Chan said in surprise.

Just as the words were spoken, the sea erupted, and a massive Water Wave Tornado surged like a blue spear towards Shen Long and the others.

Shen Long reacted swiftly, his right hand glowing gold, throwing a punch, and a Golden Giant Fist flashed, colliding with the Water Wave Tornado.

A thunderous boom, and the Water Wave Tornado shattered.

The seawater suddenly condensed, and a tall blue-shirted young man emerged.

Shen Long’s eyes narrowed; the other was also cultivating the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture? That’s rare.
