Chapter 1305: 1309 Ten Directions Bottle Advances to Superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifact

One day passed quickly. At the hour of the Pig, the sky darkened, but Kunlun City was brilliantly lit, with crowds surging in the streets.

Shen Long stood at the entrance of Qiankun Garden, just about to enter when a female voice called from behind: "Taoist Friend Qian, you are right on time!"

As Shen Long turned his head, he saw Xu Yao and a burly golden-robed youth walking toward him. The youth’s sleeves were adorned with nine sun patterns, arranged in a circle.

"Madam Xu, who might this Taoist friend be?"

Shen Long smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the golden-robed youth.

"Wang Sheng from the Nine Suns Sect of the Nine Suns Immortal Domain, nice to meet Taoist Friend Qian."

The golden-robed youth introduced himself.

"Qian Yang from the Qingyang Immortal Domain."

Shen Long announced his name.

"Let’s go in together! I suspect the other Taoist friends have all arrived."

Xu Yao suggested, and the three of them walked into Qiankun Garden together.

Xu Yao evidently had been to Qiankun Garden before and was very familiar with its layout.

They arrived at a secluded green-tiled courtyard with a green stone pavilion inside. In the pavilion sat two men and two women, chatting leisurely; Zhang Liwu was also present.

"Madam Xu, Taoist Friend Wang, Taoist Friend Qian, you finally arrived. We were just talking about you."

Zhang Liwu greeted them with a beaming smile, inviting them to sit down.

"I am Yu Qiuya from the Tiangong Sect, pleased to meet all the Taoist friends."

A voluptuous woman in a golden dress introduced herself with a graceful bow.

"I am Shangguan Long (Shangguan Hu) from the Shennong Immortal Domain, nice to meet all the Taoist friends."

The two red-robed youths, who bore a striking resemblance to each other, introduced themselves.

"So, the two Taoist friends are disciples of the Shangguan Immortal Clan. I’ve long admired the Shangguan Sanjie and am delighted to finally meet you in person."

Shen Long said with a smile.

The Shangguan Immortal Clan is a prominent power in the Shennong Immortal Domain, with several Great Luo Golden Immortals. Shen Long had visited the Shennong Immortal Domain but didn’t stay long.

"We are not that well-known. We’ve been to the Qingyang Immortal Domain but haven’t heard of Taoist Friend Qian. It seems we’re not well-informed."

Shangguan Long’s voice was loud.

"I retreat for long periods, rarely making public appearances, so it’s normal that Taoist Friend Shangguan hasn’t heard of me."

Shen Long explained.

"According to Madam Zhang, Taoist Friend Qian can refine twenty-four Seventh Grade Dao Pills containing the Fire Law from a single batch of materials! Truly impressive, Taoist Friend Qian must be able to refine Eighth Grade Dao Pills too!"

Shangguan Hu said admiringly.

Given Shen Long’s high pill success rate for Seventh Grade Dao Pills, it wasn’t surprising he could refine Eighth Grade Dao Pills.

"My success rate for refining Eighth Grade Dao Pills is very low, and I still seek guidance from fellow Taoist friends."

Shen Long replied modestly.

"I’m unworthy of being considered a guide, it’s an exchange of knowledge."

Zhang Liwu said warmly.

They began discussing the refinement of Dao Pills, and among the seven, only Zhang Liwu could refine Ninth Grade Dao Pills.

Zhang Liwu explained she owned a Third Rank Immortal Flame and had consumed multiple Third Rank Immortal Flames; after much practice, she could refine Ninth Grade Dao Pills, though with a low success rate.

"Third Rank Immortal Flames are indeed rare. If someone could refine a large quantity of Seventh Grade Dao Pills, I wonder if they could exchange for a Third Rank Immortal Flame."

Xu Yao mused.

"It depends on what laws the pills contain. If they contain the Supreme Laws, their Kind Attribute is higher."

Zhang Liwu explained.

Even with the same Seventh Grade Dao Pills, those containing Supreme Laws were of higher Kind Attribute.

"Pills containing the Supreme Laws are very challenging to refine; in contrast, those containing Common Laws and Special Laws are relatively easier to craft."

Shangguan Long remarked, then turned to Wang Sheng and asked curiously: "Taoist Friend Wang, I heard your Nine Suns Sect has nurtured a divine beast, is it true?"

"It is true. As for the details about the divine beast, I’m not quite clear."

Wang Sheng replied ambiguously.

A Golden Immortal from the Nine Suns Sect found treasure in the Ancient Battlefield, faced a siege by three Great Luo Golden Immortals, released a divine beast to defeat all enemies, and the event was witnessed by other Great Luo Golden Immortals, making it impossible to conceal.

Many Taiyi Golden Immortals inquired Wang Sheng about the divine beast, but the senior Nine Suns Sect members issued a gag order forbidding disclosure of the divine beast’s details.

"Tsk tsk, I heard that divine beast has the early-stage cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, ensuring the Nine Suns Sect’s prosperity for billions of years."

Shangguan Long said enviously.

"It’s not that simple, and the Heavenly Tribulation is not just for show, unless there is an endless supply of Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Fruits."

Wang Sheng responded solemnly.

"Not billions of years, but certainly millions; however, I am curious whether your sect brought the divine beast to this major battle."

Shangguan Hu asked curiously.

"I don’t know. I’m not very familiar with the divine beast’s situation."

Wang Sheng shook his head, then turned to Shangguan Long, asking: "Taoist Friend Shangguan, your Shangguan Immortal Clan is known for alchemy in the Shennong Immortal Domain, haven’t you cultivated a divine beast?"

"We tried, but failed. Even a True Spirit at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage failed to become a divine beast despite using six different external items."

Shangguan Long sighed.

"Turning a True Spirit at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage into a divine beast is extremely difficult. Our Nine Suns Sect’s divine beast became one at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage, supposedly using six different external items."

Wang Sheng explained.

Shangguan Long smiled wryly: "While resources to assist a True Spirit at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage in becoming a divine beast are relatively common, those assisting a Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage True Spirit are rare."

It’s like healing pills—the quality and rarity differ between those consumed by Taiyi Golden Immortals and those consumed by Great Luo Golden Immortals.

The higher the cultivation level, the rarer the resources needed, a fact well-known.

After chatting for more than two hours, they exchanged cultivation resources, mainly Dao Pills and Immortal Elixirs.

Shen Long exchanged several Seventh Grade Dao Pills containing Special Laws and million-year-old Immortal Elixirs, although in truth, he didn’t need them; it was merely a formality.

Upon returning to Qingyang Pavilion, he saw Chu Buyu seated in a chair, grinning widely.

"Husband, Shen Mei acquired a Xiankong Celestial Crystal, gave it to Shen Peng, and he brought it back."

Chu Buyu handed Shen Long a golden crystal stone the size of a fist.

Shen Long held it, feeling its lightness.

Quickly, Shen Long retrieved the Ten Directions Bottle and made contact with the Xiankong Celestial Crystal.

The Ten Directions Bottle emitted a dazzling golden light, enveloping the Xiankong Celestial Crystal.

As the golden light faded, the Xiankong Celestial Crystal vanished, and the Ten Directions Bottle unleashed an astonishing Immortal Qi fluctuation, evidently upgraded to a Superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifact.

"It has indeed advanced to a Superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifact."

Shen Long was jubilant.

With this treasure, he gained another safeguard.

"Shen Mei was worried about being tracked by Long Ling’er. After acquiring the Xiankong Celestial Crystal, she constantly altered her appearance and used treasures and Immortal Pills to change her Divine Soul before finally contacting Shen Peng to pass him the Xiankong Celestial Crystal. She is currently staying at Jinyang Pavilion."

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

When he returned to Qingyang Pavilion, Shen Long saw Chu Buyu sitting in a chair, smiling ear to ear.

"Husband, Shen Mei got the Xiankong Celestial Crystal and delivered it to Shen Peng at last," Chu Buyu said with a big smile.

Shen Long quickly took out the Transcendent Mirror and made contact with the Xiankong Celestial Crystal.

The mirror glowed with a bright red light, and Shen Mei’s face appeared on the surface.
