Chapter 243: 161 Classmate Visit_1

This Qing Xu crystal, once integrated into a defense magic artifact, can enhance its defense. Even if one were to sell it, it could fetch tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Shen Long stowed away these items and, having eliminated his enemies, he planned to head to the Cultivation Realm of the Northern Sea to search for further cultivation techniques. Besides that, he also sought to find miracle elixirs to nourish the divine soul and heal the Ice Flood Dragon.

He took out a red messaging plate, injected a spell into it, and said, "Master Nephew Qian, have you found any Spiritual Medicine or Spirit Fruits that can nourish the divine soul?"

"Not yet, Uncle Shen."

Qian Dafu honestly replied, then seemed to recall something and added, "Oh, right, Uncle Shen, Master Aunt Li is looking for you. She would like you to craft elixirs for her."

"Master Aunt Li? Which one?"

Shen Long asked.

There were five female cultivators in the Spirit Control Sect with the surname Li and at the Core Formation Stage, and he really had no idea which one it was.

"Li Rongrong, Master Aunt Li! She wants Uncle Shen to refine high-quality Beast Nurturing Pills for her,"

said Qian Dafu.

"Oh, it’s Senior Sister Li, no problem. Tell her to come over to Golden Roc Peak! I happen to be free."

Shen Long suddenly understood; Li Rongrong was one of the Nine Outstanding members of the Spirit Control Sect, who cultivated the Flying Butterfly Scripture and chose the Five-Colored Jade Butterfly as her Life-Bound Spirit Insect. Her strength was formidable.

"Yes, Uncle Shen, I will contact Master Aunt Li immediately."

After Qian Dafu agreed,

Shen Long then contacted Liu Yuruo to inquire about the whereabouts of Xu Yu Yan and Chen Chi.

"Uncle Shen, they have been in closed-door cultivation since they advanced to the Core Formation Stage, and currently, their whereabouts are unknown,"

said Liu Yuruo.

"If they show themselves in public, you should be able to track them, right? Just record their area of activity; there’s no need to follow them personally, it’s too dangerous,"

Shen Long instructed.

As long as he knew the range of Xu Yu Yan’s and Chen Chi’s movements, they would be easy to deal with.

"Yes, I understand,"

replied Liu Yuruo.

After Shen Long gave a few more instructions and cut off the contact, he stepped out and sat down in a green stone pavilion.

Lin Shan came over, took out tea leaves and a teapot to make tea, and reported the situation of Golden Roc Peak to Shen Long. Golden Roc Peak had a Spirit Medicine Garden, a Spirit Fruit Garden, and a Spirit Lake. They cultivated Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Fruits, Spirit Wood, and also bred Spirit Fish. Lin Shan was in charge of these areas. By hiring others to work, they could generate a fair amount of profit.

Shen Long asked about the state of the Cultivation Realm of Qin Country and Lin Shan’s situation, to which Lin Shan replied truthfully.

"You’ve gotten married! Congratulations! I’ll give you this superb-quality magic artifact as a wedding gift."

Shen Long pulled out a golden jade ruler and handed it to Lin Shan.

"Thank you, Uncle Shen."

Expressing his gratitude, Lin Shan took the golden jade ruler with both hands.

A few moments later, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.

Shen Long injected a spell into it, causing the talisman to self-ignite and emit a pleasant-sounding woman’s voice, "Junior Brother Shen, I have long heard of your great reputation, and I’ve specially come to visit you."

"Lin Shan, Senior Sister Li has arrived. Please invite Senior Sister Li in,"

Shen Long ordered.

Lin Shan acknowledged and set off to carry out the command.

It wasn’t long before Lin Shan returned with a buxom woman in a blue dress.

The lady in the blue dress had an oval-shaped face with bright, expressive eyes and snow-white skin. Her dress was embroidered with butterfly patterns.

"I’ve heard much about Senior Sister Li’s renown; it should have been me visiting you. Please, Senior Sister Li, have a seat,"

Shen Long stood up to greet Li Rongrong, inviting her to sit and taking the teapot to pour her a cup of tea.

After a few cups of tea and some pleasantries, the conversation picked up.

Li Rongrong took out a green jade box and a golden jade box and said, "I happened upon two early third-stage inner cores from Twin-Tailed Spirit Foxes and a six-hundred-year-old Soul Nourishing Herb. If Junior Brother Shen doesn’t mind, please accept them. They are just a waste in my hands."

"Soul Nourishing Herb!"

Shen Long’s face lit up with joy. He opened the golden jade box to find a small black herb with five rhombus-shaped leaves.

According to what he knew, Soul Nourishing Herbs usually grew in places with dense Yin Qi, and such places easily gave birth to ghostly beings.

"So, Master Nephew Qian told me that Senior Sister Li wants to ask for my help in refining premium Beast Nurturing Pills?"

Shen Long said.

"That’s right, I only have one set of materials, ten premium Beast Nurturing Pills, will that do?"

Li Rongrong took out a blue Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

Upon sweeping his Divine Sense over it, Shen Long nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

"Then I’ll have to trouble Junior Brother Shen."

Li Rongrong quickly expressed her thanks.

Lin Shan walked in and reported, "Uncle Shen, Master Uncle Wu has come to visit, what should we do?"

"Master Brother Wu? Please invite him in."

Shen Long instructed.

Lin Shan acknowledged with a sound and went to carry out the order.

Soon, a golden Escape Light flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.

Once the Escape Light dissipated, it revealed a broad-shouldered, barrel-chested man in a golden robe, radiating an intense murderous aura.

Thunder Hawk True Person Wu Hu, one of the Nine Outstanding of the Spirit Control Sect, his Life-Bound Spirit Beast was the Thunder Hawk.

"Oh, Junior Sister Li is here too."

On seeing Li Rongrong, Wu Hu let out a light exclamation.

"I’ve long heard of Senior Brother Wu’s great name, please take a seat, Senior Brother Wu."

Shen Long greeted with a slight smile, inviting Wu Hu to sit.

Wu Hu didn’t stand on ceremony and took a seat, then took out a green Storage Bag, handed it to Shen Long and said, "I would like to ask Junior Brother Shen to help me refine a batch of Heavenly Ape Pills. I need premium elixirs, and I only have one set of materials. Three third-stage early twin-tailed scorpions’ demon cores and three five-hundred-year-old Qingfeng Grass as payment, how does that sound?"

After scanning it with his Divine Sense, Shen Long nodded and said, "No problem, I will have someone deliver them to Senior Brother Wu once they’re ready."

"Then I will trouble Junior Brother Shen. I heard from Senior Brother Han that you’re cultivating the Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art. How about we spar a bit?"

Wu Hu’s fighting spirit surged.

"Senior Brother Wu! You are at the Core Formation Middle Stage, and Junior Brother Shen is just at the Core Formation Early Stage; the spar wouldn’t be fair!"

Li Rongrong frowned and said.

"We’ll only match our Qi Strength, I want to see the difference between our sect’s Heavenly Ape Transformation and the Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art. I can’t defeat Senior Brother Han, so I’d like to compare with Junior Brother Shen."

Wu Hu said with obvious anticipation.

"Only Qi Strength? No problem."

Shen Long agreed.

They made their way to the foot of Golden Roc Peak, with Li Rongrong watching from the side.

Wu Hu’s body burst into dazzling golden light, and his body emitted a ’crackling’ sound from the bones, swelling significantly in size as his right fist thundered towards Shen Long.

Without the slightest fear, Shen Long swung his right fist to meet it, colliding with Wu Hu’s right fist.

A dull thud sounded, Shen Long remained unmoved while Wu Hu took a step back.

Wu Hu furrowed his brow and said, "It seems that in terms of pure Qi Strength, the Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art truly is stronger than the Heavenly Ape Transformation."

"Such a comparison doesn’t hold much significance. We must not overlook factors such as treasures, the miracle elixirs and secret talismans used in body cultivation, and the Life-Bound Spirit Beasts," Shen Long responded modestly.

"Considering only the strength of the physical body, the flood dragon ranks within the top three among many monsters, which is unsurprising. The Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art is incomplete, and cultivating beyond the Nascent Soul Stage requires the Essence Blood of a fourth-stage flood dragon to refine the Blood Flood Dragon Pill to aid in cultivation, increasing the difficulty as fourth-stage flood dragons are much tougher to kill," explained Li Rongrong.

Wu Hu nodded and said, "No matter what, a loss is a loss. I won’t disturb Junior Brother Shen any longer."

After saying this, Wu Hu took his leave.

Li Rongrong also bid her farewells and left. Shen Long returned to Golden Roc Garden, entered a secret chamber, took out the Scarlet Crow Cauldron and the alchemy materials, and began the alchemy process.
