Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race
Chapter 148 - 148 94 three-year_1

148: 94 three-year_1 148: 94 three-year_1 Three days passed quickly, and the stone chamber’s door opened, Shen Long and He Yue walked out.

Shen Long had a look of joy on his face, he had passed the assessment successfully and become a second-level alchemist, qualified to view and copy the second-level pill formulas collected by the Spirit Control Sect.

Back in the main hall, Shen Long saw a young woman in a red dress, who appeared to be in her early twenties.

The girl had delicate features, a slim figure, skin white as snow, and a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth.

“Eh, Junior Sister Qin, it’s been a while since you last came!”

Upon seeing the girl in the red dress, He Yue let out a sound of surprise.

The girl in the red dress was named Qin Shuangshuang, a descendant of a Core Formation Cultivator, and she was also a second-level alchemist.

“Hmm, this junior brother seems somewhat unfamiliar!”

Qin Shuangshuang’s gaze fell on Shen Long with a puzzled expression.

“This is Junior Brother Shen Long, he just passed the alchemy assessment and can refine the Yellow Apricot Pill and the Heyuan Pill, I plan to have him specifically responsible for these two elixirs in the future.”

He Yue introduced.

“I’ve met Senior Sister Qin, I’ve just learned alchemy, and there is much I lack, I hope Senior Sister Qin can give me more guidance.”

Shen Long said politely.

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and said, “Senior Brother He, these are the second-level elixirs I’ve refined, please count them.”

She took out a blue Storage Bag and handed it to He Yue.

He Yue took out more than fifty differently colored porcelain bottles from the Storage Bag, carefully counted and recorded them, and registered them in the books.

“Not bad, Junior Sister Qin, take out your Identity Token.”

He Yue said, withdrawing a Law Disk that flickered with blue light.

Qin Shuangshuang took out her Identity Token and handed it to He Yue.

He Yue placed the Identity Token on the blue Law Disk, which emitted a beam of blue light; then he returned the Identity Token to Qin Shuangshuang.

“I still have things to do, I’ll go first, Senior Brother He, come to my place for tea when you have time.”

After saying this, Qin Shuangshuang turned and left.

“Senior Brother He, do I have to refine so many elixirs every month?”

Shen Long asked.

“That’s not necessary, you just need to refine five bottles of the Yellow Apricot Pill each month, I will provide the materials for you, if you find it too much, it can be reduced, however, the more you work, the more you can earn, and the refined elixirs can be converted into Kind Attribute.”

He Yue explained.

“Then I’ll start off by refining five bottles!

Can you give me a year’s worth of materials?”

Shen Long asked.

“Not at the moment, I can provide you with material for up to half a year, you can hand it over once a month or once every half a year, but you must deliver five bottles of Yellow Apricot Pills each month, no less, only more, and they must be of medium quality.

If you fail to complete the task consistently for one year or if there are serious quality issues with the elixirs, your status as a second-level alchemist will be revoked, understand?”

He Yue said sternly.

Shen Long nodded and agreed.

“Wait here for a moment, I will fetch the materials for refining the Yellow Apricot Pills.”

He Yue gave him a nod and strode towards a side hall.

Less than half an hour later, He Yue returned, carrying a gold Storage Bag, which he handed to Shen Long.

Shen Long took out the materials from within, checked everything carefully to ensure there were no mistakes, and only then signed for them with his Identity Token.

After leaving the Tiandan Palace, Shen Long released the Snow Wind Sparrow, stepped onto the back of the bird, and with a gentle pat on the sparrow’s back, its wings flapped lightly, stirring up a gust of cold wind as it soared into the sky.

Upon returning to Qinglian Garden, Shen Long entered a secret chamber, took out the Scarlet Crow Cauldron and the alchemy materials, and began the process of alchemy.

He had now successfully joined the Tiandan Hall and become a second-level alchemist, but he had no interactions with Qin Shuangshuang and found it was not easy to become a disciple of a third-level alchemist.

He was not one-track-minded, Shen Long’s goal was to become a disciple under a third-level alchemist, that was just his plan, and it was not certain to succeed.

Having become an alchemist serving in the Tiandan Hall, Shen Long could view and copy the second-level pill formulas collected by the Spirit Control Sect and could also exchange alchemy experiences with other alchemists, which was not a bad thing.

Before long, the rich fragrance of medicine permeated the air; Shen Long did not take this lightly, using his Divine Sense to observe the situation inside the Scarlet Crow Cauldron.

Under high temperature, the Spiritual Medicine slowly turned into liquid.

…

Zhao Country, Hundred Ghosts Sect.

In a secluded black manor, Shen Guang was reporting to Xu Li with a serious expression.

“The attacks from the five Sects of Qin Country are not slight; they have taken down many mining claims and Spiritual Medicine Gardens, harboring the ambition to annex the Cultivation Realm of our Zhao Country,” Shen Guang said with a furrowed brow.

“Humph, the Liu Family really are a useless bunch.

The Xu Family discovered a Jinlang Jade Mine, and it’s bad enough that the Liu Family was clueless, but to think Spirt Control Sect disciples discovered it too.

This indicates that the spies of the Spirt Control Sect in Zhao Country are very capable, even knowing about the Jinlang Jade Mine in the Green Cloud Mountain Range,” Xu Li said with a cold face.

“It might not necessarily have been the work of the Spirt Control Sect’s spies in Zhao Country!

According to the situation reported by the Xu Family, most of the clan members guarding the mine were killed, and five Foundation Establishment Cultivators met their demise.

Perhaps a Core Formation Cultivator was behind it,” Shen Guang suggested.

“If a Core Formation Cultivator was really behind it, several Qi Refining Cultivators wouldn’t have escaped unscathed.

Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us.

It’s not that we’re incompetent; it’s that the other three Sects didn’t cooperate with us.

Otherwise, we’d have already wiped out the spies from the Cultivation Realm of Qin Country long ago.

By the way, what about those Barbarian Cultivators?” Xu Li inquired.

“They’ve all suddenly disappeared.

Perhaps they’ve left the Cultivation Realm of Zhao Country, or maybe they’ve obtained what they wanted and left.

I’ve sent people to continue the investigation,” replied Shen Guang.

“There’s no need for that, our current focus should be on dealing with the five Sects of Qin Country.

Let’s put the Barbarian spies aside for now!” Xu Li instructed.

“Yes, Aunt Master Xu,” Shen Guang complied.

…

Time flies, and three years have passed.

In the Spirt Control Tower’s Tianhu Peak, Qinglian Garden.

In a certain secret chamber, Shen Long was seated on a red cushion, his eyes slightly closed, surrounded by a red glow.

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and hovered in front of Shen Long.

Shen Long, sensing its presence, opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

He grabbed the Sound Transmission Talisman and crushed it, and Lin Shan’s voice emerged: “Uncle Shen, Master Uncle Xu is hosting a gathering with quite a few second-tier Alchemists participating.

Someone was sent to inform you.

Would you like to attend?”

“A gathering!

Second-tier Alchemists!”

Shen Long nodded, having worked at Tiandan Hall for three years, crafting five bottles of second-tier Elixirs each month, with the remainder of his time spent on cultivation.

Besides that, his interaction with other second-tier Alchemists involved exchanging Alchemy techniques.

Shen Long took out the Spirt Control Tower, channeled his mana into it, and after a burst of dazzling blue light, he appeared on the first floor of the Spirt Control Tower.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox rushed over to him; it was currently at the early stage of the second tier.

Shen Long crouched down and extended his right hand.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox raised its right paw, placing it in his hand, and licked his palm with its pink tongue.

Shen Long fed it a green ginseng, then he went to the second floor, where an astonishing heatwave hit him in the face.

He whistled, and a piercing bird call came from the sky.

The Gold-Winged Windroc appeared on the horizon, swooped down, and landed in front of Shen Long, stirring up dust.

The Gold-Winged Windroc had grown larger, though it was still in the early stage of the second tier.

Shen Long took out two pale green pills, second-tier Beast Spirit Pills, fit for consumption by second-tier Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, and Spirit Insects, beneficial for their advancement.

Shen Long started by crafting Yellow Apricot Pills and then other second-tier Elixirs, including the Beast Spirit Pill.

After swallowing the two Beast Spirit Pills, the Gold-Winged Windroc let out an excited chirp, flapping its wings.

Understanding the Gold-Winged Windroc’s meaning, Shen Long jumped onto its back, gently slapped his palm, and the Gold-Winged Windroc, grasping his intent, lightly flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Its speed was fast, occasionally flying sideways, making turns, and launching spell attacks toward the ground and the void.

Shen Long often trained the Gold-Winged Windroc for combat, not just feeding it Miracle Elixirs.

Half an hour later, the Gold-Winged Windroc landed at the base of a towering mountain peak.

Shen Long jumped to the ground and blew a whistle.

The Fire Rock Beast ran over from the distance; it was twice its original size, still at the early stage of the second tier.

Shen Long hurriedly took out a Beast Spirit Pill and a red ginseng, feeding them to the Fire Rock Beast.

After inspecting the growth of the Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits, and having watered them, he exited the Spirt Control Tower and walked out.

Shen Long arrived at the doorstep of a secluded blue-tiled courtyard, a signboard above read “Spirit Scorpion Courtyard” in three large characters, a pale cyan light screen blocking the path.

He took out a cyan Formation Flag, gave it a gentle shake, and a stream of cyan light flew out, merging into the cyan light screen, which then dissipated as he walked in.

The Spirit Scorpion Courtyard was planted with many poisonous herbs and medicines, home to the Iron Tail Scorpion, where it usually stayed.
