Chapter 194 - 194 120 Bai Keke Su Yi Chen Gang_2

194: 120 Bai Keke, Su Yi, Chen Gang_2 194: 120 Bai Keke, Su Yi, Chen Gang_2 Shen Long’s smile cooled when he saw the youth in the black robe.

The youth in the black robe was named Su Yi, a descendant of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

Qian Dafu had already investigated, Shen Long had just arrived at Refuse Barbarian City and met three Foundation Establishment cultivators, one of whom was named Xu Yunfeng, from the Xu Family.

The Xu Family had discovered that Jinlang Jade Mine, and most of the clan members guarding the mine had been killed by Shen Long.

Shen Long knew very well that Xu Yunfeng knew he was the one who had killed Xu Yunfeng and the others.

Shen Long thought back and guessed that it was because he had been recognized for using the Jinning Mirror.

Now that he knew the identity and origin of the other party, it would be easier to deal with.

The four sects of Zhao Country and the five sects of Qin Country had fought over the Jinlang Jade Mine, with many Foundation Establishment cultivators killed or injured.

Su Yi’s relatives were guarding the mine when Lin Sisi led a team to attack the mine and killed Su Yi’s kin.

Su Yi had a particular hatred for cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect; he was also an alchemist, serving at the Tiandan Palace.

“Fairy Bai!”

Su Yi gave Bai Keke a slight smile, ignoring Shen Long.

Bai Keke returned the smile and said, “Taoist Friend Su, have you finished refining your elixirs as well?”

“Not yet, but speaking of which, there is a party tomorrow night hosted by my Senior Sister.

Would you be interested in attending?”

Su Yi said enthusiastically.

“Tomorrow night?

I have prior commitments and won’t be able to make it; maybe next time!”

Bai Keke declined tactfully.

She had just agreed to Shen Long and couldn’t go to other gatherings.

“Alright then!

Next time.

I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After saying this, Su Yi stepped outside, completely ignoring Shen Long throughout.

Shen Long smiled indifferently and didn’t take it to heart.

He and Bai Keke arrived at the great hall and saw a woman in white with a voluptuous figure.

The woman in white, named Xu Yu, was responsible for collecting the elixirs refined by the alchemists and crediting the alchemists with kind attributes based on the quantity.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xuanyang Sect and the Hundred Ghosts Sect managed the accounts to prevent Xu Yu from cooking the books.

“Senior Sister Xu, these are the elixirs I’ve refined.

Please count them.”

Bai Keke took out fifteen porcelain bottles of different colors and handed them to Xu Yu.

After Xu Yu had counted the elixirs, she took out a Law Disk that twinkled with azure light and said, “Junior Sister Bai, please take out your identity token so I can credit you with kind attributes.”

Bai Keke took out a round token flickering with azure light, on which was written “Bai Keke” in three large characters.

Every cultivator who participated in the battles was issued a specially crafted identity token.

Perform any task, and they could earn kind attributes, which could be exchanged for cultivation resources.

Xu Yu placed the round token on the azure Law Disk, and a dazzling azure light flashed, engulfing the token.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Xu.”

With a word of thanks, Bai Keke pocketed the token and walked out.

Shen Long handed over twenty-one porcelain bottles of different colors to Xu Yu.

“Taoist Friend Shen, you’ve refined so many elixirs, and the success rate is not low!

It’s true what they say, a master’s disciples reflect their skill.”

Xu Yu praised him.

There were over a hundred second-order alchemists at the Tiandan Palace, and some had relatively high success rates.

Shen Long was among them.

“Madam Xu flatters me.”

Shen Long said modestly.

Xu Yu carefully checked the quality and quantity of the elixirs, instructed Shen Long to take out his identity token, and recorded a sum of kind attributes for him.

Shen Long pocketed his token and left.

After leaving the Tiandan Palace, Shen Long leisurely strolled through the streets.

A cup of tea later, he arrived at the Free Trade Plaza, where there were many small stalls, most of which belonged to Foundation Establishment cultivators, many of whom were injured.

Items on the stalls were varied and abundant, some of which were unique cultivation resources of the Barbarian Tribe.

The Barbarian Tribe had their own cultivation system, centered around Totem Techniques, and required large amounts of Monster Beasts’ spirit souls to cultivate totems.

Taking the Skywolf Tribe as an example, the totems of the Barbarian Tribe’s cultivators were mostly wolf monsters, varying only in attributes.

To evolve a wolf monster totem, it must consume the spirit souls of high-level wolf monsters to amplify the barbarian cultivator’s strength, or even enable the cultivator to transform and use some Monster Clan divine skills, depending on the totem.

The Totem Techniques of the Barbarian Tribe and the Spirit Attachment Technique of the Spirit Control Sect were somewhat similar.

Both could lead to transformation at high levels, but the Totem Techniques embed the monster beast’s spirit soul within the cultivator to provide amplification, whereas Spirit Control Sect disciples cultivated the Spirit Control Technique to nurture a life-bound spirit beast and receive amplification based on the divine skills of the spirit beast.

The Barbarian Tribe was physically strong, and their preferred magic artifacts were heavy or included things like gauntlets.

They enjoyed collecting Monster Beasts’ spirit souls to exchange with fellow cultivators from other tribes.

The Human Clan cultivators who killed Barbarian Tribesmen could gain many Monster Beasts’ spirit souls.

The Barbarian Tribe had relatively fewer skilled individuals than the Human Clan, and most Barbarian cultivators did not know Alchemy, Array Setting, Artifact Refining, Talisman Crafting, or Brewing.

Shen Long walked forward while examining the items on the stalls.

“Taoist Friend Shen, I’ve got something great that you’re definitely going to like.”

A loud male voice reached Shen Long’s ears.

Shen Long followed the source of the voice and saw a bald man with bushy eyebrows and large eyes.

The bald man was broad-shouldered and burly, with muscles bulging impressively, and his stall was scattered with numerous Monster Beasts Materials.

Shen Long walked over and said, “It seems Taoist Friend Chen has slain another Barbarian Cultivator.”

The bald man, named Chen Gang, boasted a Cultivation at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment.

He was a Body Cultivator who hailed from the ranks of Loose Cultivators.

There were many Body Cultivators among the Barbarian Tribe, but Chen Gang was able to hold his own in one-on-one combat.

Since the beginning of the hostilities, he had killed many Foundation Establishment Stage Barbarians.

Chen Gang took out a cyan jade box and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the jade box and saw a tricolor sphere inside.

“This is a Medicinal Stone!”

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

Medicinal Stones typically appeared inside monster or Spirit Butterflies as a matter of chance.

They were quite precious Alchemy Materials that could enhance the quality of Elixirs, depending on the skill level of the Alchemist.

“This is a Medicinal Stone from a Tri-Colored Wind Butterfly in the later phase of the second order.

You should know the value of this item.

With this stone, perhaps you can refine a high-grade Elixir,” Chen Gang said.

“I’ll take this Medicinal Stone.

What do you want for it?” Shen Long asked.

“How about five bottles of Blood Rhinoceros Pills?” Chen Gang proposed.

Shen Long did not haggle and took out five porcelain bottles of different colors, handing them to Chen Gang.

Chen Gang inspected them carefully and, confirming they were Blood Rhinoceros Pills, nodded his head.

“Taoist Friend Chen, I’m hosting a gathering tomorrow night at the 7PM to 9PM block.

If you’re free, come to my place.”

Shen Long said.

“Tomorrow night at 7PM to 9PM?

I have a prior engagement that I can’t get out of.

Maybe next time!”

Chen Gang tactfully declined.

“Alright, you’re busy.

Next time you get hold of such fine goods, contact me first.

I won’t let you suffer a loss,” Shen Long advised, standing up to leave.

He wandered around, purchasing some Artifact Refining materials and a few Alchemy Materials.

“Taoist Friend Shen, you’ve left seclusion.”

A sweet female voice rang out.

Shen Long looked towards the source of the voice and saw Mu Weiwei.

He had officially met Mu Weiwei at a social event, where Han Jinlong introduced her as a Loose Cultivator who traveled across various regions to buy local Cultivation Resources and sell them elsewhere.

“Fairy Mu, did you get what I wanted?”

Shen Long asked.

“No, but I’ve gotten my hands on something else that you’ll definitely like.

This isn’t the place to discuss it.

Shall we move to a quieter spot to talk details?”

Mu Weiwei politely suggested.

Shen Long being a second-order Alchemist and the disciple of a Core Formation Cultivator held a very high status.

Shen Long nodded in agreement, and they went to a tea house where he booked a private room.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, a Green-robed Attendant came in, served a pot of Spiritual Tea and a plate of Spirit Cakes, and then left.

As a cup of tea went down his throat, Shen Long spoke, “Fairy Mu, what is that thing you were speaking of?”

Mu Weiwei smiled faintly, took out a cyan jade box, opened it, and presented several pale cyan jade fragments with cracks on their surface, emitting a faint cyan light.

“These are Dharma Treasure fragments!”

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right, Taoist Friend Shen, your keen eyes don’t miss a thing.

You’ve been raising Gold Ants, these Dharma Treasure fragments can be used to feed the Ant Queen.

I won’t ask much, how about twenty bottles of Beast Spirit Pills?”

Mu Weiwei said, her face full of expectation as she looked at Shen Long.

“I don’t have that many Beast Spirit Pills, but this pill should suffice,” Shen Long responded, taking out a green wooden box and passing it to Mu Weiwei.

Mu Weiwei opened the box and was surprised, “A Foundation Establishment Pill!”
