Chapter 260: 177 Ice Flood Dragon Recovers (Seeking Monthly Votes)_1

"My name is Wu Sheng, and this is my wife, Lin Yun. We have come to see Taoist Friend Shen,"

said the blue-clad young man as he clasped his fists in greeting.

"So, it’s Taoist Friend Wu and Madam Wu. Please, come in,"

Shen Long said with a slight smile, inviting them in to talk.

"I won’t disturb the three seniors any longer. You can chat,"

He Hai said understandingly as he took his leave.

Shen Long nodded and closed the door.

"Young Friend He has informed me of your purpose. You wish to purchase superior-quality elixirs, which will require an exchange of valuable items. It is not easy to find such elixirs on the market,"

Shen Long stated.

Wu Sheng nodded, took out two green jade boxes, and passed them to Shen Long, saying, "These are two 500-year old Soul Nourishing Herbs. We wish to trade them for superior-quality injury-healing elixirs. How does that sound?"

Shen Long opened the jade boxes to look and indeed, they contained Soul Nourishing Herbs.

He took out a blue jade box and handed it over to Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng opened it to find two golden pills inside, each with nine pill patterns on their surface.

"Superior-quality Gold Ganoderma Pills! Their effects on healing wounds are quite remarkable,"

Shen Long introduced.

Wu Sheng and Lin Yun showed joyful expressions and thanked him profusely.

"I am collecting these items. If you come across any news, you can contact me directly,"

Shen Long took out a blue jade slip and handed it to Wu Sheng.

After Wu Sheng scanned it with his Divine Sense, he nodded and said, "No problem."

After some small talk, they took their leave.

Shen Long went into his secret chamber and sat down cross-legged to meditate and recuperate his spirit.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and took out materials such as the Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Fruit to begin refining the Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Pill.

Shen Long opened his mouth to exhale the Red Lotus True Flame, which fell to the bottom of the Scarlet Crow Cauldron, causing the temperature in the room to rapidly increase.

He cast a spell, causing the lid of the cauldron to lift, then threw the Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Fruit and other Spiritual Medicines into the cauldron, before replacing the lid.

Under the high temperature, the Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Fruit and other materials slowly transformed into a black liquid, while Shen Long’s Divine Sense fully expanded to monitor the situation within the cauldron.

...

In a secluded courtyard roofed with green tiles, there were a three-story green pavilion and a green stone pavilion.

Mu Shanshan was sitting inside the stone pavilion, holding a shining golden Messaging Plate in her hands.

"What? Assassinate Fairy Chu Buyu, are you not joking? She is the disciple of Senior Song,"

the man in the red robes said, frowning.

"If I hadn’t saved your life back in the day, you’d be dead by now. Now when I ask you to do something for me, you hesitate and make excuses? Is this how you repay your debt?"

Mu Shanshan said with an icy expression.

During her early years of travel, she had saved a Core Formation cultivator who promised to help her with three tasks. Mu Shanshan was asking this person to assassinate Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu was the prime candidate to be the next Palace Master of the Lunar Palace. If she were to perish, Mu Shanshan had a great chance of filling the vacancy.

"Madam Xu, please allow me to think for a moment. This matter is of great importance. If the news were to leak, not even my master could protect me,"

a low male voice responded.

"Fine! Succeed in this, and I can still help you in the future, including providing superior-quality elixirs. Fail, and we go our separate ways,"

Mu Shanshan said, cutting the connection after her statement.

She interacted with the other party using a fake appearance, adopting the name Xu Qian. Even if the other party was to slip up, they couldn’t trace it back to Mu Shanshan.

"Chu Buyu, this is the mess you’ve created for yourself," grabbing the position of Palace Master of the Lunar Palace and still wanting to vie for Senior Brother Xu with me! You’re courting death."

Mu Shanshan’s voice was cold, and her eyes were filled with venomous resentment.

...

A year quickly passed, in a secret chamber within the Qingjun Pavilion.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a blue cushion, his eyes slightly closed, his body covered with red dragon scales, and enveloped in a red glow.

After a while, the red glow around Shen Long dissipated and he opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath.

"The effect of the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill is indeed good!"

Shen Long talked to himself, feeling his body brimming with strength.

He entered the Spirit Control Tower and went to the third floor. With a pat on the white spirit beast bag at his waist, a deafening roar of a dragon echoed as the Ice Flood Dragon emerged, circling high in the sky.

It let out a deafening roar of a dragon, seeming very happy.

After a while, the Ice Flood Dragon landed in front of Shen Long.

Shen Long had refined fifteen Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Pills and fed them to the Ice Flood Dragon. After consuming two superior-grade Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Pills, the Ice Flood Dragon’s injuries were completely healed, and it burst with vitality.

Shen Long extended his right hand, and the Ice Flood Dragon lowered its head, very docile.

Initially, it had submitted to Shen Long out of desperation. However, after many years of companionship, Shen Long had never skimped on feeding it Miracle Elixirs, and it grew increasingly fond of Shen Long as its master.

"It seems you’ve fully recovered, good."

Shen Long praised, and pulled out a superior-grade Beast Nurturing Pill to feed the Ice Flood Dragon.

The Ice Flood Dragon swallowed the Beast Nurturing Pill and let out an excited roar, gently nudging Shen Long’s body with its head.

Shen Long understood the Ice Flood Dragon’s meaning and jumped onto its head.

The Ice Flood Dragon issued a heaven-shaking roar and soared into the sky, the raging winds whistling past, causing Shen Long’s hair to flutter in the wind.

A sharp cry of a bird rang out as the Gold-Winged Windroc gave chase. It was faster than the Ice Flood Dragon and soon overtook it.

The Gold-Winged Windroc called out sharp cries as it circled unpredictably above the Ice Flood Dragon’s head, seemingly showing off.

Unwilling to show weakness, the Ice Flood Dragon’s body shone brightly, increasing its Escape Speed; however, this was not its strength, and it couldn’t compare to the Gold-Winged Windroc, which left it far behind.

More than an hour later, the Ice Flood Dragon landed on the ground, and Shen Long jumped to the surface.

"Show me your attack methods."

Shen Long commanded, giving an order to the Ice Flood Dragon.

He wanted to train the Ice Flood Dragon in combat. Its previous Divine Soul injury made training somewhat useless, but now that it was healed, it was time for proper training so it could be useful in future conflicts.

The Ice Flood Dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar, and a large number of white snowflakes drifted down from the sky, bringing bursts of cold wind.

Before the white snowflakes touched the ground, they turned into ice blades about three feet long, hurtling toward an open area.

A series of loud explosions echoed, and the ground became pockmarked and riddled with many white ice blades sticking out of the frozen surface as the ice spread.

The Ice Flood Dragon’s body shone brightly and disappeared, only for one of the white ice blades to light up with a dazzling light, with the Ice Flood Dragon reappearing from within it.

Its current Purity of Bloodline was three, allowing it to master this Divine Skill.

In the Cultivation Realm of the Northern Sea, there had been many Rank Three Flood Dragons, relying primarily on their physical strength in conflict because their Purity of Bloodline was not high.

The Ice Flood Dragon evolved from a demon serpent that had consumed a superior-grade Flood Dragon Transformation Pill, naturally possessing a higher Purity of Bloodline.

Shen Long nodded with satisfaction. The Ice Flood Dragon could easily use this Divine Skill to approach foes, and combined with its powerful physical body, it was indeed a great asset.

After training the Ice Flood Dragon for over an hour, Shen Long took it to the first floor. With no other spirit beasts or Spirit Insects, the Ice Flood Dragon could move around freely.

He exited the Spirit Control Tower and left the secret chamber.

Just as he stepped out, he took out a Messaging Plate flickering with blue light, imbued it with a spell, and Chu Buyu’s voice sounded, "Taoist Friend Shen, I have refined the treasure you requested. How shall I deliver it to you?"
