167: 105 Outing and Travel_1 167: 105 Outing and Travel_1 “That’s not necessarily true, Senior Brother Yu cultivates the Nine Revolutions Transforming Flood Dragon Technique; his physical body is powerful.

If he participates in the Xuanyang Ceremony, he may well achieve a good ranking,”

Chu Yuling said.

Shen Long was somewhat surprised and asked, “Senior Brother Yu also cultivates the Nine Revolutions Transforming Flood Dragon Technique?”

“Junior Brother Shen does as well?”

Yu Guang was somewhat astonished.

Shen Long nodded and said, “I am currently stuck at a bottleneck and don’t know how to resolve it.”

“Stuck at a bottleneck!

That’s tough.

I too ventured out to travel because of a bottleneck and have yet to resolve it,”

Yu Guang sighed.

“Indeed, bottlenecks are not easy to dissolve.

However, it varies from person to person; some overcome it in a few years, others in more than a decade.

Unlucky Foundation Establishment Cultivators might even be stuck for decades,”

Lin Sisi said.

“Right, I heard Senior Brother Yu traveled to many countries; could you tell us about the situation in other countries?”

Chu Yuling asked, full of anticipation.

Yu Guang nodded and began to recount his travels, introducing the different countries’ products, customs, and details about their sects and families.

“Has Senior Brother Yu been to Shu Country?

Do you know of the Faction of Hermit Cultivation?”

Shen Long inquired.

“I know of them.

The Faction of Hermit Cultivation ambushed the Tang Family’s disciples, which greatly angered the Tang Family.

They exterminated the Faction, and many of its leaders were executed, with some escaping.”

Yu Guang said.

“I’ve heard my father mention the Tang Family.

They are the number one cultivating family in Shu Country.

Did the Faction of Hermit Cultivation have their heads squeezed by a door?

To actually attack the Tang Family disciples,”

Chu Yuling wondered.

“It’s said to be a dispute over a Core Formation Spiritual Object.

Apparently, it was the vice president, Jingong Reverend, who acted on his own.

Having succeeded, he led his followers to flee Shu Country, and the rest of the Faction was out of luck,”

Yu Guang explained.

The crowd suddenly understood why Jingong Reverend had escaped calamity.

“Jingong Reverend!”

Shen Long silently noted this name.

Chu Yuling took out a blue Law Disk, cast a spell, and with a look of joy said, “I’m going to get something; please have a seat for now.”

Having said this, she quickly walked outside, followed by Lin Sisi.

Shen Long and Yu Guang struck up a conversation, talking about the cultivation of the “Nine Revolutions Transforming Flood Dragon Technique.”

“This technique is indeed quite remarkable.

I can now withstand attacks from superior Magic Artifacts, but it’s troublesome to collect Flood Dragon Essence Blood,”

Yu Guang said.

“Flood Dragons are rare and quite strong.

It’s difficult to kill a Flood Dragon of the same rank one-on-one.

For this reason, not many disciples from our sect cultivate this technique,”

Qin Shuangshuang commented.

“This technique is the Sect Protecting Technique of the Five Dragon Sect in the Northern Sea cultivation realm.

I too thought about cultivating it at first, but was dissuaded by the cultivation requirements,”

Xu Feng remarked.

“Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Transforming Flood Dragon Technique to higher levels is indeed formidable, but Flood Dragon Essence Blood is hard to collect.

Practicing this technique is akin to Body Cultivation, and someone from our sect who cultivated it to a high level could withstand Dharma Treasures,”

Qin Shuangshuang added.

“To cultivate to the seventh level, one needs the Essence Blood of a third-ranked Flood Dragon.

The technique isn’t complete, but no one knows how far they can go on the path.

What suits you best is always the best,”

Yu Guang said earnestly.

After a while, Chu Yuling and Lin Sisi returned.

Lin Sisi and Chu Yuling came back carrying an exquisitely made blue food box.

They set down the box, took out fine wine and delicacies, and arranged them on the stone table.

“Today is Junior Sister Chu’s birthday.

I don’t have much to offer, but I would like to give you this Youth Preserving Pill,”

Qin Shuangshuang took out a blue jade box and handed it to Chu Yuling.

Chu Yuling gratefully accepted the blue jade box.

“Two bottles of Beast Spirit Pills, a small token of my regard,”

Shen Long took out two blue porcelain bottles and handed them to Chu Yuling.

Chu Yuling thanked him profusely and accepted the blue porcelain bottles.

Lin Sisi and the others also presented their gifts—Elixirs, Magic Artifacts, Talismans, Spiritual Medicine—all were given.

Xu Feng gave ten Cold Crystal Ants, ranked six hundred sixty-fifth on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List, a group of Spirit Insects that can form weapons to attack the enemy and spout cold air.

After receiving the birthday gifts, Chu Yuling raised her cup with a smiling face and said, “Thank you to all my senior brothers and sisters for celebrating my birthday; I’d like to toast to everyone.”

With that, she raised her cup and emptied it.

Shen Long and the others each raised their glasses in return, and the company began to eat and drink merrily, chatting leisurely.

As the conversation turned to raising Spirit Insects, Qin Shuangshuang asked, “Senior Brother Xu, how is it going?

Have the Hundred Eyes Cicada eggs hatched yet?”

“Hundred Eyes Cicada!”

Shen Long’s mind stirred; he remembered Xu Feng had bought some Hundred Eyes Cicada eggs, and it had been over twenty years—had they not hatched yet?

“No, I’ve consulted many elders, and they all say the chances of hatching are slim,”

Xu Feng sighed.

“You might as well give up!

Senior Brother Xu, there’s no point continuing to waste time and energy.

If they could hatch, they would have done so by now,”

Qin Shuangshuang advised.

“Hundred Eyes Cicada?

Senior Brother Xu, where did you get the Hundred Eyes Cicada eggs?”

Shen Long feigned curiosity.

Xu Feng nodded and began to share how he acquired the Hundred Eyes Cicada eggs.

“These years, I’ve always been looking for ways to hatch the Hundred Eyes Cicada eggs, but without success,”

Xu Feng sighed.

“Senior Brother Xu, I’d like to buy two Hundred Eyes Cicada eggs from you; I want to try hatching them,”

Shen Long said.

“Since they can’t be hatched anyway, I’ll give you two,”

Xu Feng pulled out a blue jade box, took out two eggs, and passed them to Shen Long.

“I cannot accept gifts without giving anything in return; these two bottles of Beast Spirit Pills are a small gesture of my goodwill.

Please do not decline, Senior Brother Xu,”

Shen Long took out two blue porcelain bottles and handed them to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng did not refuse and accepted the two blue porcelain bottles.
