Shen Long invited them to sit down, picked up the teapot to pour them tea, and started to make small talk.

“By the way, Xuanyang Sect will be holding the Xuanyang Ceremony in a while, is Senior Brother Shen going to participate?”

Qian Dafu asked.

The Xuanyang Ceremony is a grand event held by the Xuanyang Sect—it has been held many times already.

The Xuanyang Ceremony was initially organized by Core Formation Cultivators of the Xuanyang Sect for the purpose of exchanging and comparing notes with other Core Formation Cultivators.

As it developed, not only did Core Formation Cultivators participate in the exchanges, but Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators could also join in.

There were also auctions held, and goods were sold.

In a certain sense, the Xuanyang Ceremony is the largest event in the Cultivation Realm of Qin Country, with various major powers sending people to attend, held every hundred years or so.

“Of course, I’ll participate.

Aren’t you going?

It happens only once every hundred years; it would be a pity to miss it.”

Shen Long said.

As he knew, the five sects of the Qin Country would hold competitions, allowing the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the five sects to exchange and compete.

It was also a way of exchanging Dao; it wasn’t limited to just chatting, as sparring was another method.

Some cultivators stuck at a bottleneck could hope to resolve it by competing with fellow Daoists.

“We are also participating, but with our capabilities, it’s too difficult to achieve a good ranking.

Senior Brother Shen should have a chance.”

Qian Dafu said with a smile.

“It’s not that easy to get a good ranking.

Just do what we can and leave the rest to fate!”

Shen Long replied.

He would naturally not miss an opportunity to showcase himself.

With no background and average aptitude, to stand out he had to seize every opportunity, to show himself as much as possible, and to secure more cultivation resources for himself.

“In the Xuanyang Ceremony before last, the top ten ranked were dominated by Xuanyang Sect disciples, with Fairy Skyfire taking the first place.

We competed with the four sects of Zhao Country, and Fairy Skyfire defeated Profound Yin True Person with a great divine skill, showing the value of the Xuanyang Ceremony.”

Ye Yutang spoke enviously.

The Xuanyang Ceremony was also an opportunity for Spirt Control Sect disciples to shine, but as they were only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, it was too difficult to achieve a good ranking.

“In the past ten Xuanyang Ceremonies, the top three ranks have all been taken by Xuanyang Sect disciples.

It remains to be seen if anyone can change this situation this time.”

Qian Dafu said curiously.

“If Senior Brother Xu Yang participates in the Xuanyang Ceremony this time, he should be able to get a good ranking, right?”

Shen Long mentioned.

Xu Yang was the most outstanding among the seventy-two talents and had reached Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment very early on.

He hadn’t made an appearance in many years and was rumored to be attempting Core Formation Stage.

“Senior Brother Xu is likely assaulting the Core Formation Stage and has not shown himself for many years.

He probably won’t participate in this Xuanyang Ceremony.

Let’s look to Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Wang, and the others!”

Qian Dafu stated.

After chatting for more than an hour, Qian Dafu and the other three took their leave.

Shen Long turned to Lin Shan and asked, “Master Nephew Lin, when is Senior Brother Xu holding the gathering?”

“Tonight at the 7PM to 9PM period, the location is at Master Uncle Xu’s residence!”

Lin Shan informed him.

Shen Long nodded, took out a Messaging Plate that flickered with blue light, inputted a spell, and asked, “Senior Sister Chen, any news about that matter?”

He had asked Chen Qingqing to help look for his parents and had promised a generous reward upon success.

“No, it’s been too long, and they were just Qi Refining Cultivators, which makes it quite difficult to investigate.

I sent people to search, but there hasn’t been any clue.”

Chen Qingqing replied.

“Thanks for the trouble, Senior Sister Chen.

Please notify me immediately if there’s any news.

By the way, I’ve refined a few furnaces of Beast Spirit Pills; I’ll have Lin Shan deliver them to you.”

Shen Long said.

As he was asking for a favor, he wouldn’t let Chen Qingqing help for nothing.

If she benefited from it, she would be more motivated to help.

“How could I accept this!”

Chen Qingqing objected.

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, just two furnaces of Beast Spirit Pills, they are not rare treasures.

If you find those two, there’ll be an even greater reward, let’s leave it at that!”

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate, took out a blue Storage Bag, and handed it to Lin Shan, instructing, “Deliver it directly to Senior Sister Chen, make sure to hand it to her personally, understand?”

“Yes, I will take care of it right away.”

Lin Shan replied and set off to carry out the task.

Shen Long returned to Qinglian Pavilion, entered a secret chamber, and sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, closing his eyes to rest.

The sky gradually darkened, and many cultivators took out their lighting tools.

Shen Long left Qinglian Garden, released his Snow Wind Sparrow, and jumped onto its back.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Snow Wind Sparrow flew towards the sky.

In less than half an hour, Shen Long appeared over a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, covered by a thick fog that obscured the interior.

He sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman, the fog dispersed, and a large estate came into view.

The Snow Wind Sparrow slowly descended and landed in front of a blue Stone Pavilion, where two men and a woman were seated.

The leader was a pale-faced young man in a green shirt.

“Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Chen, you’ve all arrived.”

Shen Long greeted them as he recalled the Snow Wind Sparrow.

“Junior Brother Shen, has your Snow Wind Sparrow not advanced to the middle stage of the second tier yet?”

A golden-robed man in his forties inquired.

Chen Jin, early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The outside world thought Shen Long’s Life-Bound Spirit Bird was the Snow Wind Sparrow, and Shen Long did not disclose that his Life-Bound Spirit Bird was actually the Gold-Winged Windroc, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In his exchanges with many fellow disciples on the subject of controlling beasts, he discovered that the highest Purity of Bloodline for their Life-Bound Spirit Beasts was two, with only a few at one, nowhere near the Gold-Winged Windroc.

“Not yet!

It’s not so easy for Life-Bound Spirit Birds to advance.”

Shen Long explained.

“Feed it more Beast Spirit Pills, and its advancement to the middle stage of the second tier won’t be a problem.”

The young man in the green shirt remarked.

Xu Lin, middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
