Chapter 220: Medicine King Valley_1

Half a year quickly passed by in the Qinglian Garden.

Seated within a cyan stone pavilion, Ice Silkworm True Person was accompanied by Lin Shan and Chen Bing who stood by the side.

"Is Shen Long refining elixirs?"

Ice Silkworm True Person spoke.

"Yes! Uncle Shen said hello to me. Shall I send a Sound Transmission Talisman to Uncle Shen?"

Lin Shan cautiously suggested.

After Shen Long’s advancement to the Core Formation Stage, Lin Shan’s status had also risen significantly; countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators sought his good graces, but he was well aware that it was Shen Long they respected, not him.

Lin Shan handled assorted tasks with even greater diligence, fearing any oversight.

"No need, let’s wait for him to come out,"

Ice Silkworm True Person said.

"Master, the journey from Qin Country to Begonia Valley is long and arduous. Any delay might be bad. Why not still send a Sound Transmission Talisman to Junior Brother Shen? In case he gets overly engrossed and loses track of time, that wouldn’t be good."

Chen Bing suggested.

"There’s no need; I trust he knows what he’s doing."

Ice Silkworm True Person disagreed nonchalantly and lifted his teacup to take a sip.

In a secret chamber, Shen Long was seated cross-legged on a red cushion, his gaze intently fixed on the Scarlet Crow Cauldron before him.

After a while, Shen Long withdrew the Red Lotus True Flame, opened the cauldron lid, and upon closer examination, found ten red elixir pills inside, each pill marked by six pill patterns, denoting them as mid-grade elixirs.

Red Moon Pill, a third-grade elixir made primarily using five-hundred-year-old Red Moon Ganoderma, possessed the effect of Essence Advancing Spiritual Power. In the half-year, Shen Long had successfully refined three kinds of third-grade elixirs, though all were only second-grade in quality.

This was not surprising. He had indeed refined high-grade Beast Spirit Pills before, but only after many attempts, and having recently advanced to the Core Formation Stage, it was unrealistic to expect him to quickly produce high-grade elixirs.

Shen Long wasn’t disheartened; practice makes perfect. He took pride in being able to refine Red Moon Pills. For high-grade Red Moon Pills, he believed that with more experience in refining them, success was assured.

He gathered the Red Moon Pills from the cauldron, placed them into a cyan porcelain bottle, put away the Scarlet Crow Cauldron, and walked outside.

Upon arriving outside, he saw Ice Silkworm True Person and the others.

"Master, what brings you here? Why didn’t you let me know? I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."

Shen Long was surprised.

"I heard you were refining elixirs and didn’t want to disturb you. How did it go, did you succeed?"

Ice Silkworm True Person inquired gently.

Shen Long nodded and replied, "I did succeed. These two bottles of Red Moon Pills were personally refined by me, a humble gift, please accept them, Master."

He took out two cyan porcelain bottles and handed them to Ice Silkworm True Person, who graciously accepted them without any refusal.

"It’s about time to leave,"

stated Ice Silkworm True Person, summoning a small boat that shimmered with white light. He channeled a spell into it, and the small boat immediately released a dazzling white glow, expanding to a size of about three meters long, marked by a full moon pattern on its side.

"A Flying Dharma Treasure!"

Shen Long said, full of envy.

"This is the Ice Moon Boat, a creation of Master’s. It’s very fast."

Chen Bing explained.

"If you gather the suitable materials, I too can help you refine one. Come aboard, we’re about to depart."

Ice Silkworm True Person stepped onto the Ice Moon Boat.

After giving Lin Shan a few instructions, Shen Long boarded the boat as well, followed closely by Chen Bing.

With a pinch of his spell, Ice Silkworm True Person caused the Ice Moon Boat to burst into a blinding white light as it soared into the high skies, quickly disappearing from view.

······

In a serene estate, with pavilions, towers, waterside pavilions, and long corridors, Du Yinyin sat within a cyan stone pavilion. A shapely woman in a golden dress was reporting to her.

"Master, the three second-grade Spirit Insects each consumed a Five-Colored Ganoderma Fruit. Only the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion underwent mutation gaining the Stealth Mystique."

The woman in the golden skirt said.

Fang Ru, at the Core Formation Middle Stage, a disciple of Du Yinyin.

Du Yinyin frowned and asked, "It didn’t inherit the Divine Soul Attack of the Soul-Devouring Scorpion?"

The Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion ranks one hundred and thirty-fifth on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List, highly toxic and exceptionally fast-flying. Du Yinyin fed three Five-Colored Ganoderma Fruits to a second-order Spirit Insect, hoping to breed a mutated Spirit Insect.

"No!"

Fang Ru shook her head.

The Soul-Devouring Scorpion ranks tenth on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List, it is widely known for its vast divine skills and fearsome reputation.

Du Yinyin had obtained a third-order Soul-Devouring Scorpion’s inner core and had the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion consume it, along with one Five-Colored Ganoderma Fruit. As a result, the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion underwent a mutation, becoming even more adept at stealth.

Du Yinyin sighed and said, "It seems that aiming for a specific mutation direction is indeed very difficult. Well, at least it has mutated, and perhaps it will master Divine Soul Attack after advancing to a higher level."

The direction of mutations in spirit beasts, Spirit Insects, and Spirit Birds is uncontrollable and subject to probability. It’s quite rare for some Spirit Insects to greatly enhance their divine skills after a mutation.

After giving a few instructions, Du Yinyin allowed Fang Ru to leave.

······

The Begonia Mountain Range is located in the central part of the Donghua Cultivation Realm, stretching tens of thousands of miles. With an abundance of begonia trees, the region is perennially spring-like. This area is the ancestral land of the Wang Family.

The Wang Family of Begonia Valley is one of the top Human Clan powers in the Donghua Cultivation Realm, with more than a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators; their foundation is profound, and their strength is formidable.

A group of cultivators were on patrol, led by a woman in her thirties wearing a white skirt. Judging by her aura, she was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

"Ancestor Tian Hua is celebrating a grand birthday, even the major powers from the Northern Sea Cultivation World have sent people to congratulate him. It’s really lively."

A Wang Family junior said.

"Indeed, I heard that major powers from the Southern Border Cultivation World have also sent people to attend. It’s a pity our cultivation is too low to join the celebration. This is a great opportunity to meet the elites of the major powers," another Wang Family junior expressed enviously.

"Everyone say less, someone is coming."

The woman in the white skirt spoke up.

A streak of white Escape Light appeared in the distant sky, quickly approaching their location.

Before long, the white Escape Light halted, revealing a flying boat glistening with white light. Ice Silkworm True Person, Shen Long, and Chen Bing stood upon it.

"It must be Senior Lin from the Spirit Control Sect!"

The woman in the white skirt said politely.

"I have been invited by Madam Wang to attend Senior Wang’s birthday celebration. These are my disciples," Ice Silkworm True Person said with a smile.

Chen Bing took out the invitation and handed it to the woman in white.

A thunderous roar of a beast emanated from deep in the mountains. A red Giant Tiger flew out from the depths, with a portly man in a red robe sitting atop its back.

"Ancestor Yinghua!"

Upon seeing the red-robed elder, the woman in the white skirt promptly paid her respects.

Ice Silkworm True Person was utterly confused; he did not recognize Wang Yinghua.

"It looks like some distinguished guests have arrived," Shen Long remarked, peering into the distant sky.

A streak of blue Escape Light appeared from afar. It stopped in midair, revealing a giant ship that shimmered with azure light, its sails embroidered with patterns of medicinal herbs.

A group of cultivators stood on the deck, their robes also embellished with patterns of medicinal herbs.

"Medicine King Valley!"

Shen Long realized suddenly.

Medicine King Valley, another top-tier Human Clan power within the Donghua Cultivation Realm, boasted Soul Transformation Cultivators and unparalleled strength.
