Chapter 226: 144 Red Flood Dragon True Person_1

Ice Silkworm Valley, Ice Silkworm Pavilion.

Ice Silkworm True Person sat on the main seat, with Shen Long sitting beside him.

"Master Uncle Liu personally summoned us and even gave you a Five-Flame Crystal; he truly values you!"

Ice Silkworm True Person spoke, his face full of pride.

"It is all thanks to Master’s cultivation; otherwise, I wouldn’t be here today."

Shen Long replied modestly.

"Have you decided on the design for your life-bound magic treasure?"

Ice Silkworm True Person continued to ask.

"I have made my decision. Among the designs Master provided, I chose the Zyphyxial Blade."

Shen Long took out a jade slip and handed it to Ice Silkworm True Person.

Ice Silkworm True Person had provided hundreds of dharma treasure designs, each with different attributes and functions, for Shen Long to choose from.

After much deliberation, Shen Long had chosen the Zyphyxial Blade, a heavy-type dharma treasure that could be used as a club to smash or as a blade to slash.

He was cultivating the "Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art," constantly strengthening his physique. The higher the level of his cultivation, the stronger his body became.

"Zyphyxial Blade? This treasure is a heavyweight type, usable for both smashing and slicing. If you switch magical techniques in the future, you should also choose techniques that enhance your physique. The greater your Qi Strength, the more powerful this treasure will become,"

Ice Silkworm True Person detailed the advantages and disadvantages.

"I have considered it carefully; it’s this design. I just don’t know if our sect has the appropriate materials."

Shen Long said.

If the Spirt Control Sect’s treasury had the right materials, he could buy them with Spirit Stones or exchange them for Kind Attribute points.

Ice Silkworm True Person nodded and said, "Of course, there are. These are the materials for refining the Zyphyxial Blade. You should go to the Executive Hall and purchase the materials with Kind Attribute points or Spirit Stones. I will help you refine your life-bound magic treasure."

He took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned it with his divine sense and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this amount of materials enough?"

Ice Silkworm True Person smiled and said, "Ordinary dharma treasures don’t need so many materials. The Zyphyxial Blade is no ordinary treasure; it’s already using a lot of materials. This amount is sufficient."

"That’s good, I’ll trouble Master then."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude.

Chen Bing walked in and said, "Master, Master Uncle Han has arrived."

"Senior Brother Han is here? Please invite him in quickly."

Ice Silkworm True Person instructed.

Chen Bing responded and went to carry out the order.

"Shen Long, you should also meet Senior Brother Han; he too cultivates the ’Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art’.

Ice Silkworm True Person stated.

Shen Long nodded. In the Spirt Control Sect, there weren’t many Core Formation stage cultivators surnamed Han who also practiced the ’Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art.’ It could only be the Red Flood Dragon True Person.

The Red Flood Dragon True Person was one of the Nine Outstanding of the Spirt Control Sect, with formidable strength.

Not long after, Chen Bing led in a tall man in a red shirt.

The man in the red shirt was broad-shouldered and barrel-chested, with bright and piercing eyes.

"Senior Brother Han, it has been a long time,"

Ice Silkworm True Person greeted.

"Junior Brother Lin, this must be Junior Brother Shen! Indeed, a good teacher produces outstanding students,"

Red Flood Dragon True Person’s gaze fell upon Shen Long.

"Senior Brother Han flatters me. Compared to you, Shen Long still has much room for improvement,"

Ice Silkworm True Person said with a smile, gesturing for Red Flood Dragon True Person to take a seat.

"Senior Brother Han, I am also practicing the ’Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art,’ and I have some cultivation issues I would like to consult with you."

Shen Long spoke politely.

"Junior Brother Shen, there’s no need for formalities; speak freely,"

Red Flood Dragon True Person said generously.

Shen Long asked with an open mind, sharing the difficulties he encountered in his cultivation.

Red Flood Dragon True Person gave careful guidance; since they were practicing the same art, his insights were extremely helpful to Shen Long.

"Senior Brother Han, did you find the subsequent techniques, or have you switched to another technique?"

Shen Long inquired.

"I have found the cultivation method for the eighth level and placed it in the Scripture Pavilion. You can go there to look it up."

Red Flood Dragon True Person said.

"Senior Brother Han, where did you find it? Is there not a complete set of the technique?"

Ice Silkworm True Person asked with curiosity.

"I traveled through the Southern Border Cultivation World and obtained it from a Core Formation Stage Evil Cultivator. I obtained the methods for levels one through eight. ’Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art’ is the Sect Protecting Technique of the Five Dragon Sect, which came with very strong Divine Skills. As the Five Dragon Sect fell, the technique spread, mostly in incomplete forms."

Red Flood Dragon True Person said, and with a sigh, he added, "The technique is of secondary importance; without the Essence Blood of a third-grade Flood Dragon, it’s impossible to cultivate."

His travels to the Southern Border Cultivation World had been for the purpose of finding a third-grade Flood Dragon, but alas, he had found none.

Shen Long nodded; every matter had its pros and cons.

"By the way, Junior Brother Lin, I have come this time to ask for your help to refine this Thousand Jun Stone into my Life-Bound Magic Treasure."

Red Flood Dragon True Person took out a red jade case and handed it over to Ice Silkworm True Person.

"Thousand Jun Stone, this material is indeed rare, Senior Brother Han’s ability is not small! Leave this matter to me."

Ice Silkworm True Person readily agreed.

After chatting casually for almost half an hour, Red Flood Dragon True Person took out a red Storage Bag and handed it over to Ice Silkworm True Person before taking his leave.

Shen Long also left. He had made a trip to the Scripture Pavilion and used Kind Attribute to exchange for the cultivation method of the eighth level. Then he went to the Executive Hall and, once again using Kind Attribute, exchanged for Artifact Refining materials. Having expended all his Kind Attribute and still not having enough materials, he spent two hundred thousand Spirit Stones to purchase a batch of materials.

He arrived at Ice Silkworm Valley and passed a blue Storage Bag to Ice Silkworm True Person.

Ice Silkworm True Person swept it with his Divine Sense and exclaimed in surprise, "How come there’s so much more?""

"Master has worked hard; you can keep the extra materials for Artifact Refining!"

Shen Long said.

He, of course, would not let Ice Silkworm True Person help him for nothing. Besides refining his Life-Bound Magic Treasure, Ice Silkworm True Person was also going to help him refine an Alchemy Furnace at the level of a Dharma Treasure by incorporating materials such as the Five-Flame Crystal into the Scarlet Crow Cauldron, which should then be promotable to a Dharma Treasure.

Ice Silkworm True Person nodded and agreed to the proposal.

After some more chatting, Shen Long took his leave.

After advancing to the Core Formation Stage, Shen Long had moved to Golden Roc Peak to reside, the whole of which was his, with Spirit Fields alone amounting to no less than ten thousand acres.

Shen Long took out a Messaging Plate and summoned Qian Dafu.

"These are the materials I need to collect; keep an eye out for them. Also, some of the third-grade Elixirs that I have refined can be put on sale in the store."

Shen Long took out a green Storage Bag and handed it to Qian Dafu.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Qian Dafu complied, receiving the Storage Bag. Then, he took out a green Storage Bag of his own and handed it over, "Uncle Shen, these are the materials you wanted to collect."

Shen Long took the Storage Bag and, after a sweep with his Divine Sense, nodded in satisfaction. He then took out a green porcelain bottle and passed it to Qian Dafu, saying, "This contains a top-grade Beast Spirit Pill. You take it to feed to the Spirit Beast!"

Qian Dafu repeatedly thanked him and took the green porcelain bottle.

After Shen Long gave a few more instructions, he let him leave.

He walked into the Golden Roc Pavilion and entered a secret chamber.

Shen Long took out the Spirt Control Tower, infused Mana into it, and the tower immediately burst forth with dazzling blue light, a powerful suction force momentarily appeared and pulled him into the Spirt Control Tower.

Shen Long appeared in a vast and boundless wasteland where the Spiritual Energy was abundant, yet barren and bare.

After advancing to the Core Formation Stage, he could enter the third floor, which was a range of rolling mountains, naked and desolate looking.

He took out the seedlings he had purchased and planted them.

He had bought a batch of Mantuo Trees from the Executive Hall. The youngest was at least ten years old and the oldest a hundred years. He bought a hundred trees in one go, intending to transform the third floor into a den for the Iron Tail Scorpion.

The older the Mantuo Tree, the more miasma it emitted, and the stronger its toxicity.

Apart from the Mantuo Trees, he also bought some highly poisonous Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruit trees.

The space on the third floor was too vast; the Mantuo Trees and other plants Shen Long had bought occupied only a small area.

He had plans to purchase poisonous plants and herbs over time, cultivating a Poisonous Forest.

A joyful screeching filled the air as Iron Tail Scorpions burrowed out from the underground, their stingers swaying left and right.

Shen Long took out a black Demon Core, the inner core of a late-stage second-grade Soul Severing Scorpion, and fed it to an Iron Tail Scorpion.

After exiting the Spirt Control Tower, Shen Long took out a green Alchemy Furnace, with three legs and two handles, the surface etched with exquisite patterns—an upper-grade Alchemy Furnace suitable for Alchemy.

Shen Long took out a green Storage Bag, gave it a shake with the opening facing downwards, and a sweep of green light spilled forth. A large pile of items appeared on the ground, primarily Alchemy Materials.

He sat quietly for a quarter of an hour, then began his Alchemy practice.

He opened his mouth and expelled Red Lotus True Flame towards the bottom of the green Alchemy Furnace.

The resources needed by a Core Formation Cultivator were quite expensive, whether for Dharma Treasures, Elixirs, Talismans, or Formations--none were cheap. Fortunately, Shen Long was an Alchemist and could refine Elixirs to earn Cultivation Resources.

Before long, a light fragrance of Elixir wafted out from the Alchemy Furnace.
