Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race
Chapter 192 - 192 Mumu Weiwei Han Jinlong_2

192: Mumu Weiwei, Han Jinlong_2 192: Mumu Weiwei, Han Jinlong_2 “A descendant of Xuanyang True Monarch!”

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

As far as he knew, Xuanyang True Monarch was the Great Elder of the Xuanyang Sect, a man of formidable power, and his descendants were few.

Judging from the golden-robed youth’s age and cultivation, the youth should be Han Jinlong.

“Taoist Friend Han, long time no see,”

the girl in the green dress greeted with a slight smile.

“Fairy Mu, I want a second-tier Sea Monkey,”

Han Jinlong said.

The girl in the green dress showed a pleased expression and agreed.

With Han Jinlong taking the lead, the remaining four Sea Monkeys were quickly sold.

There surely wouldn’t be any issue with an item purchased by the descendant of a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Han Jinlong.

From their conversation, Shen Long learned that the girl in the green dress was called Mu Weiwei.

“Fairy Mu, I have something I’d like to discuss with you, is it convenient to move somewhere more private to talk in detail?”

Han Jinlong asked politely.

Mu Weiwei nodded, packed up the iron cage, and left with Han Jinlong.

Shen Long wandered around, bought some second-tier artifact refining materials and some Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits, and left the Free Trade Plaza.

Back at the Spirt Control Garden, Shen Long ran into Qian Dafu, who said, “Senior Brother Shen, Master Uncle Lin asked for you to visit his residence, he needs to see you.”

“Alright, I’ll go right now.”

Shen Long agreed and headed to a secluded courtyard with green tiles.

A green wooden plaque hung at the entrance with the words “Ice Silkworm Court” written in large characters.

Just as Shen Long was about to send a Sound Transmission Talisman, Ice Silkworm True Person’s voice came out: “Shen Long, come in!”

“Yes, Master.”

Shen Long responded and strode in.

In the courtyard, there was a three-story green pavilion and a green stone pavilion.

Ice Silkworm True Person and a white-clothed scholar of medium stature were seated in the stone pavilion, engaged in conversation.

“Shen Long, this is Taoist Friend Bai from the Cold Flame Sect, responsible for assigning tasks to all cultivators,”

Ice Silkworm True Person said in introduction.

“Junior Shen Long pays respects to Senior Bai,”

Shen Long said, bowing deeply.

“So this is Master Uncle Lin’s newly accepted disciple, truly talented.

I’ve heard from Master Uncle Lin that you are an Alchemist.

You will be working in the Tiandan Palace, responsible for alchemy.

This is the token for entering and leaving Tiandan Palace; after you’ve had a good rest, you can go there directly,”

the white-clothed scholar said, handing out a white token to Shen Long.

The three countries joined forces to fight against the Skywolf Tribe, with the five sects of Qin Country, the five sects of Wei Country, and the four sects of Zhao Country all contributing a significant amount of Cultivation Resources to the storeroom, to allocate the materials uniformly, gathering experts and talents.

Among the participants in the war, there were quite a few second-tier Alchemists.

Naturally, they had to be assembled to provide materials for them to conduct alchemy.

Accumulating merit through alchemy could be used to exchange for Cultivation Resources.

“Thank you, Senior Bai,”

Shen Long expressed his gratitude.

“Alright, Master Uncle Lin, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.

Young Friend Shen, it’s alright if you rest awhile longer before taking up your position,”

the white-clothed scholar said and stood up to take his leave.

“Take care, Taoist Friend Bai,”

Ice Silkworm True Person said, rising to personally see off the white-clothed scholar.

“You’ll be refining elixirs in Tiandan Palace, making use of your strengths.

You can accumulate Kind Attribute, and it is not dangerous,”

Ice Silkworm True Person told Shen Long.

Shen Long was his disciple and an Alchemist; Ice Silkworm True Person wanted to look after him, which was quite manageable.

Staying at the main sect, he could also refine elixirs.

Refining the same batch of elixirs at the frontline allowed for accumulating more Kind Attribute and the chance to meet other Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

With Ice Silkworm True Person around, if Shen Long earned any merit, it would likely be recorded as double in the merit book.

It’s good to rest in the shade of a big tree, and having someone in a high position makes things easier.

“Yes, Master,”

Shen Long agreed and took out millennium black jade, handing it to Ice Silkworm True Person with both hands, saying, “In a few days, it will be Master’s birthday.

This is a token of your disciple’s sincerity; I hope Master won’t disdain it.”

“How did you know about your master’s birthday?”

Ice Silkworm True Person asked in puzzlement.

He never celebrated his birthday.

Since Shen Long knew about his birthday and especially bought a gift for him, his filial piety was commendable.

“I asked someone else.

It’s all thanks to Master’s care that I have reached where I am today,”

Shen Long said gratefully.

Ice Silkworm True Person indeed treated Shen Long very well, and Shen Long always kept it in his heart.

Ice Silkworm True Person’s face showed an expression of satisfaction as he nodded and said, “It’s rare for you to be so filial.

As your master, I shall accept this gift.

Let this be an exception, though, don’t indulge in such complex formalities in the future.

For you to become accomplished is in itself the best gift you could offer me.”

“Yes, Master.”

Shen Long replied with a respectful expression.

“Alright, you may go about your business now!”

Ice Silkworm True Person waved his hand, dismissing Shen Long.

He watched Shen Long’s retreating figure and looked at the thousand-year-old Xuan jade in his hand, smiling knowingly.

When he returned to Golden Cicada Courtyard, Shen Long saw Qian Dafu standing at the entrance.

“Junior Brother Qian, weren’t you going out?”

Shen Long asked casually.

“Hehe, I figured Master Uncle Lin might have something he wants Senior Brother Shen to do, so I thought I’d help you out,” Qian Dafu said with a chuckle.

Ice Silkworm True Person must have had something important for Shen Long who might need help.

Shen Long thought for a moment and said, “Actually, there is something I could use your help with.”

He described Xu Yunfeng’s appearance and asked Qian Dafu to look into this person’s background.

“Senior Brother Shen, do you know where he’s staying?

Just your description might lead me to mistake someone else for him,” Qian Dafu said.

“I know, he’s staying at Cloud Spirit Pavilion!

After you see him, investigate his background first and don’t alert anyone else.”

Shen Long instructed.

When he had passed by Cloud Spirit Pavilion, the Pursuing Spirit Beast had warned Shen Long; the doors of the pavilion were tightly closed at the time, leading Shen Long to believe that the man was staying there.

“No problem, it’s a trivial matter,” Qian Dafu replied, patting his chest in assurance.

He took out a golden, shimmering Law Disk, inputted a spell, made several gestures, and with a pleased expression, he turned to Shen Long and said, “Senior Brother Shen, an acquaintance has asked to meet with me, so I’ll go over first.

I’ll keep an eye out for the matter you mentioned.”

“Good, go ahead with your business,” Shen Long nodded, watching Qian Dafu leave.

He entered Golden Cicada Pavilion and went into a secret chamber.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a blue meditation cushion, carefully recalling his travels over the years.

He had traveled abroad for over a decade, had met quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and had made enemies with some.

Shen Long remembered all those he had antagonized.

He just couldn’t recall where he had seen the person before.

After he had entered the Spirt Control Sect, he had rarely ventured out.

Could the man possibly be a cultivator from Zhao Country, since he was with disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Sect?

For the time being, Shen Long couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

He released the Gold Ants and fed them.

······

A three-story, blue-colored pavilion had a plaque with the golden characters “Cloud Spirit Pavilion” on it; the doors were tightly shut.

Xu Yunfeng and Xu Yiqing were in the midst of a serious discussion.

“What!

Shen Long is also in Refuse Barbarian City?” Xu Yiqing asked in surprise.

Xu Yunfeng nodded and said, “Indeed, he probably doesn’t know that we’re already aware he killed Yunfeng and the others.

If you encounter him, don’t oppose him openly.

As the saying goes, ‘A gentleman can wait ten years to exact vengeance.’ Since he has come to the front lines, he will likely clash with the Barbarian Cultivators, and we will find opportunities to deal with him.”

“Got it.

But since he is the disciple of a Core Formation Cultivator, won’t we give people leverage against us if we deal with him?” Xu Yiqing frowned and remarked.

They had come from afar to deal with the Barbarian Cultivators, not to fight amongst themselves.

If they schemed against Shen Long and the higher-ups of the Spirt Control Sect complained, the Hundred Ghosts Sect might not cover for them.

As the disciple of a Core Formation Cultivator and one of the seventy-two showpieces of the Spirt Control Sect, if they were to trip him up in public, the sect elders would not let them off easily.

“Only a fool would confront him head-on.

While it’s true we should deal with him, we can’t do it openly.

As long as we keep silent, who would know that he bears a grudge against us?

We’ll find our opportunity in due course,” Xu Yunfeng reprimanded Xu Yiqing with a roll of his eyes.

Xu Yiqing smiled awkwardly and added, “You’re right.

I wonder if Yu Yan and Chen Chi have overcome their bottlenecks.

If they join the battle as well, it’ll make things easier for us.”

“That’s hard to say, bottlenecks are not so easily overcome.

Let’s hope they can break through.

By the way, look into Shen Long’s situation in private.

Knowledge of the enemy and oneself ensures victory in every battle,” Xu Yunfeng instructed.

Everyone has weaknesses, Shen Long being no exception.

Xu Yiqing nodded and agreed to do so.
