Chapter 238: 156 Iron Tail Scorpion Evolution_1

Two months had passed quickly, Qingzhu Pavilion, Alchemy Room.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red cushion, his eyes fixed on the Scarlet Crow Cauldron before him, the room filled with a thick fragrance of elixir.

After a while, Shen Long withdrew the Red Lotus True Flame, stepped forward, and lifted the lid of the cauldron to reveal twenty blood-red pills, each with nine Pill Patterns.

"Top-grade Blood Flood Dragon Pill, I can finally continue cultivating the Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art,"

Shen Long said joyfully.

He took out two porcelain bottles and stored the Blood Flood Dragon Pills.

Shen Long put away the Scarlet Crow Cauldron and walked out.

He found the Red Flood Dragon True Person, took out a blue porcelain bottle, handed it to him, and said, "Senior Brother Han, here are five top-grade Blood Flood Dragon Pills."

"Five!"

The Red Flood Dragon True Person took in a sharp breath, his expression excited.

He took out a golden jade box, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "Junior Brother Shen, this is a third-order poison scorpion’s Demon Core. It’s a waste for me to keep it, so you take it!"

Shen Long did not decline and accepted the golden jade box, chatted for a few moments, and then left.

He arrived at the entrance of Golden Gourd Garden and sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Not long after, the gates of the Golden Gourd Garden opened, and a blue Giant Ape with a grimace came out, scratching its head and posturing. It made a gesture of invitation.

"Young Friend Shen, just follow it,"

came Xu Mo’s voice.

Shen Long responded and went inside, with the blue Giant Ape leading the way.

He followed the blue Giant Ape through three archways and courtyards to a secluded courtyard with green tiles, containing a hexagonal green Stone Pavilion, with Xu Mo sitting inside.

"Junior Shen Long pays respects to Senior Xu,"

Shen Long said, bowing respectfully.

"The elixir?"

asked Xu Mo.

Shen Long took out a blue porcelain bottle and handed it to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo took the bottle, poured out ten top-grade Beast Nurturing Pills, and showed a delighted expression.

"Good, top-grade Beast Nurturing Pills! I didn’t expect you to have refined them so quickly,"

Xu Mo praised.

"When Senior Xu assigns a task, I naturally take it to heart,"

Shen Long replied.

Xu Mo nodded and said, "If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

Shen Long responded, bowed, and retreated.

He returned to Qingzhu Pavilion where the Red Flood Dragon True Person, Golden Toad True Person, and Ice Silkworm True Person were discussing something.

"Junior Brother Shen, have you delivered the elixir to Senior Xu?"

asked the Red Flood Dragon True Person.

"I’ve just given it to Senior Xu. Are we going back now?"

said Shen Long.

"We have been out for quite some time; it is time to return. Do you have other matters, Junior Brother Shen?"

asked the Red Flood Dragon True Person.

"I have no other matters. Let’s go back together!"

Shen Long said.

The Red Flood Dragon True Person nodded, and the four of them left the Qinghu Marketplace.

Once out of the marketplace, the Ice Silkworm True Person summoned the Ice Moon Boat, stepped on board, and Shen Long and the others followed suit.

"Go!"

Ice Silkworm True Person let out a low shout, and the Ice Moon Boat lit up with a white light, transforming into an escape light that tore through the sky and vanished instantaneously.

After flying out a hundred thousand li, they appeared above a rapid river, and a yellow spirit beast pouch strapped to Shen Long’s waist bulged.

He spoke up, "Master, my Spirit Insect is about to undergo its tribulation, please stop."

Ice Silkworm True Person formed a spell with his fingers, and the Ice Moon Boat came to a halt.

Shen Long flew down to the ground, slapped the yellow spirit beast pouch at his waist, and the Iron Tail Scorpion flew out, landing on the ground.

It let out a piercing screech that echoed to the heavens, and a startling clap of thunder came from above.

Shen Long quickly retreated, standing a distance away to provide protection for it.

A thunderous roar burst forth and a thick bolt of silver lightning struck down, heading straight for the Iron Tail Scorpion.

A dazzling yellow light shone from the Iron Tail Scorpion’s body surface as a thick yellow earthen armor emerged, covering its entire body.

The silver lightning struck the yellow earthen armor and instantly burst, enveloping the Iron Tail Scorpion’s figure in a silver electrical glow.

Before the lightning had completely dissipated, a second bolt of silver lightning followed, then a third, and a fourth······

The sound of thunder was incessant, as bolt after bolt of silver lightning descended.

Worry flickered in Shen Long’s eyes; in comparison with spirit beasts and spirit birds, Spirit Insects were generally less resilient and faced greater difficulty when breaking through major realms.

When the twenty-sixth heavenly tribulation struck, the thunderclouds churned tumultuously, unleashing arcs of blue and red electricity.

"Dual-Color Divine Thunder!"

Shen Long furrowed his brows; he hadn’t expected the Iron Tail Scorpion could attract the Dual-Color Divine Thunder, but perhaps it was related to being a mutated Spirit Insect.

The swirling Dual-Color Thunderclouds transformed into a thick, Dual-Color Thunder Python that plunged from the sky, heading directly for the Iron Tail Scorpion.

A thunderous boom sounded, and the Dual-Color Thunder Python entered the midst of the lightning and exploded, sending a huge burst of Dual-Color lightning shooting into the sky amidst rolling clouds of dust.

A little while later, a sharp and piercing screech rang out, and the Iron Tail Scorpion flew out from the midst of the lightning, its body charred and its aura wilting.

Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief, fed it two three-hundred-year-old Bloodleaf Flowers, and put it back into the spirit beast pouch before continuing on his way.

Upon returning to the Spirit Control Sect, Shen Long went straight back to Golden Roc Peak.

After giving Lin Shan a few instructions, he entered a secret chamber, went into the Spirit Control Tower, and arrived at the third floor.

He released the Iron Tail Scorpion, which shed all of the dead skin on its body. Shen Long asked it to display its new divine skill.

The Iron Tail Scorpion opened its mouth and spat out a yellow sonic wave. As the wave swept across the ground, signs of corrosion appeared; whenever it passed over plants, they instantly withered and swiftly turned into a pool of liquid.

Shen Long took out a blue spirit beast pouch and released a house-sized blue rabbit with two enormous front teeth protruding out; this was a second-order Chasing Wind Rabbit, known for its quick running speed.

As soon as the Chasing Wind Rabbit emerged, it immediately dashed away into the distance.

The Iron Tail Scorpion let out a sharp and piercing scream, slowing down the Chasing Wind Rabbit. A yellow sonic wave swept over its body.

The Chasing Wind Rabbit seemed unaffected and continued to flee, but after moving only about thirty feet, it collapsed to the ground and its body slowly turned into a puddle of blood.

Shen Long nodded in satisfaction and took it to a small valley filled with miasma to rest.

The Gold-Winged Windroc flew in from the distant horizon and landed in front of Shen Long.

Shen Long climbed onto the back of the Gold-Winged Windroc. As its wings spread, a gust of wind arose, and they soared into the high skies.

After advancing to the third rank, its flying speed had become even faster and its divine skills stronger.

A little more than an hour later, the Gold-Winged Windroc landed on the ground. Shen Long jumped down to the ground, training the Gold-Winged Windroc in combat and practice against enemies.

After training for over two hours, he fed the Gold-Winged Windroc a top-grade Beast Nurturing Pill and exited from the Spirit Control Tower.

He took out a Blood Flood Dragon Pill and swallowed it.

As the elixir dissolved in his mouth, a powerful surge of energy rose in his abdomen, prompting him to hastily cultivate and refine this energy.

After a while, Shen Long’s body warmed slightly.

He silently recited the cultivation mantra for the seventh layer of the Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art and began the practice.

Red scales slowly grew on his body as a red aura enveloped him entirely.

With over ten Blood Flood Dragon Pills, he had enough to successfully cultivate the seventh level.
