Chapter 134 - 134 87 Eliminate the Enemy Recognize Relatives_3

134: 87 Eliminate the Enemy, Recognize Relatives_3 134: 87 Eliminate the Enemy, Recognize Relatives_3 Shen Long said solemnly,

Yu Susu nodded and stood up to leave.

After seeing off Yu Susu, Shen Long entered a secret chamber and took out five Storage Bags, pouring out their contents.

There were over thirty thousand Spirit Stones, twenty-five Magic Artifacts including five superior ones, three for attack, two for defense, a set of mid-grade Magic Artifacts being the Scarlet Flame Blades, five second-grade Talismans including one Earth Escape Talisman, and four attack ones.

There were five bottles of second-grade Elixirs, all for Essence Advancing Spiritual Power, plus one Foundation Establishment Pill.

There were also numerous Artifact Refining materials, Alchemy materials, and over a hundred Jade Slips.

Shen Long meticulously examined these Jade Slips, finding many that contained intelligence on other forces, with no less than ten methods of cultivation, all for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It seemed that Yang Qingshu and his group must have killed quite a few Cultivators, as these cultivation methods came from other forces.

He could be said to have been carrying out a mandate from heaven; this battle had cost him over a thousand Gold Ants, a loss that was still acceptable.

Shen Long kept the five superior Magic Artifacts, the Scarlet Flame Blades and the Soul Refining Bowl.

The Soul Refining Bowl was a mid-grade Magic Artifact, which, combined with the Soul Refining Art, could be used for interrogations under duress, and even to confine a Cultivator’s Divine Soul within it, subjecting them to torture, leaving them unable to live nor die.

Of course, confining a Cultivator’s Divine Soul was no easy task; it required the target to stand still and cooperate with the spellcasting.

If capturing souls were so easy, Shen Long would not have been able to achieve victory.

Shen Long released the Gold Ants, allowing them to gnaw on Artifact Refining materials, and fed the second-grade ants some Spiritual Medicine.

Apart from the cultivation methods, there were also two second-grade Pill Formulas, namely the Green Jade Soul Nourishing Pill and the Jade Purity Pill.

The Green Jade Soul Nourishing Pill was said to enhance one’s Divine Sense, while the Jade Purity Pill was a detoxification elixir.

Shen Long organized and stored everything on the ground neatly and walked out.

He visited several Spirit Medicine Shops, purchasing the materials for five batches of Green Jade Soul Nourishing Pills.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to buy more, but there were no more Soul Nourishing Fruits available.

The Green Jade Soul Nourishing Pill was primarily concocted with Soul Nourishing Fruit as its main ingredient, which had a growth cycle of two hundred years, yielding over a hundred fruits each time, making it in high demand and short supply.

Five sets of materials were enough for Shen Long to refine quite a few Green Jade Soul Nourishing Pills, leaving him content.

Back at Qingtang Courtyard, Shen Long entered a secret chamber, took out the Scarlet Crow Cauldron and the Alchemy materials, and began to refine the Green Jade Soul Nourishing Pills.

······

In a quiet small courtyard, Yu Susu held a green Jade Slip in her hand, her face showing a thoughtful expression.

“Is he really one of my kind?

Could he be a spy from the Hundred Ghosts Sect?”

Yu Susu muttered to herself.

“Forget it, observe a bit longer before deciding.

His strength is too formidable; I’m no match for him.

If I really do cooperate with him, I’ll need a powerful weapon at the ready.”

Yu Susu said, putting away the green Jade Slip.

······

Two months swiftly passed, and Shen Long stepped out of the secret chamber with a smile on his face.

He had refined a batch of Green Jade Soul Nourishing Pills, and after consuming them, his Divine Sense had clearly grown stronger.

Shen Long took out a Messaging Plate that glittered with a blue light, inputted a spell, and Qin Yuwei’s voice emerged, “Taoist Friend Shen, have you made up your mind?

It’s almost time for our family head’s birthday celebration.”

“I’ve made up my mind, so I’ll be bothering you for a drink,”

said Shen Long.

Having nothing better to do and thinking it a good idea to get acquainted with more Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he added,

“I’ll wait for you at the marketplace exit.

I can bring you with me; the family head will surely be delighted if he knows.”

Qin Yuwei said, her voice brimming with joy.

“Alright, I’ll see you at the marketplace exit.”

Shen Long agreed and stored away the Messaging Plate before departing.

Upon reaching the marketplace exit, he saw Qin Yuwei waiting there.

“Madam Qin, have all your clan members returned to celebrate?”

Shen Long asked casually.

“Yes!

The disciples from the Yin Corpse Sect have also gone.

I was delayed by some matters; otherwise, I would have returned as well.

Let’s set off now; we can still make it in time,”

Qin Yuwei said.

Once they left the marketplace, Qin Yuwei summoned a golden Flying Boat, stepping aboard.

Shen Long climbed onto the golden Flying Boat, Qin Yuwei issued a spell, and a dazzling golden light shone as the boat soared into the sky.

Shen Long chatted casually with Qin Yuwei, primarily about the situation of the Qin Family head.

Five days later, the golden Flying Boat appeared above a verdant mountain range that stretched on undulatingly.

With a flick of a spell, Qin Yuwei accelerated the Flying Boat, and soon, a steep peak came into view covered with numerous structures and bustling with people.

A golden stele ten or more zhang tall stood at the foot of the mountain, inscribed with the silver characters “Zitang Mountain.”

As the golden Flying Boat approached within five li of the peak, it slowed down.

Another flick of a spell from Qin Yuwei and the Flying Boat gently descended, landing in an open area.

Qin Yuwei put away the golden Flying Boat and led Shen Long towards Zitang Mountain.

With Qin Yuwei leading the way, the Qin Family disciples did not stop them and allowed them entry.

Qin Yuwei brought Shen Long to a small courtyard with green tiles, handed him a green command token, and said, “Taoist Friend Shen, the birthday celebration hasn’t started yet.

Rest here for now.

If you need anything, contact me, but please don’t leave your residence on your own.

It might trigger the restrictions, and that would be problematic.”

“No problem, thank you for your assistance, Madam Qin.”

Shen Long agreed and entered the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard was a two-story green pavilion and a green Stone Pavilion, along with a small flower garden growing some green Spirit Flowers.

Shen Long entered the pavilion and found a large Array in a secret room.

He activated it with Spirit Stones and imbued the green command token with Mana, starting the protections.

He flicked his sleeve, and a Hundred Eyes Cicada flew out, landing on the ground.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense attached to the Hundred Eyes Cicada, observing the situation on Zitang Mountain.

He could easily see outside the courtyard and observed some Cultivators, but could not pierce the restrictions of the other courtyards.

Shen Long stored the Hundred Eyes Cicada away and sat down to meditate and regulate his breath.

Another two days quickly passed.

Early one morning, Qin Yuwei came over and took Shen Long to the Azure Stone Plaza at the mountain’s peak, where over fifty Foundation Establishment Cultivators were gathered.

The Azure Stone Plaza was set with many green jade tables and cushions.

Tables were laden with Spirit Fruits, tea, and exquisite dishes, with numerous Cultivators sitting on the cushions, leisurely enjoying tea and conversation.
