Chapter 295: 209 Golden Crow Reverend Xu Tianya (Soliciting Monthly Votes)_1

"Yes! I’ve been unable to contact you, and when I asked around, no one knew your whereabouts; turns out you returned to the Donghua Cultivation Realm."

Mu Weiwei said with a smile.

There were many Monster Beasts Materials on Mu Weiwei’s stall, with a greater number of Demon Cores.

"Fairy Mu, can we find a quiet place to have a good chat?"

Shen Long asked politely.

Mu Weiwei did not refuse, agreed to it, packed up the items on her stall, and followed Shen Long as they left.

Before long, they arrived at a teahouse and requested a private room. The waiter quickly served them Spiritual Tea and left after placing it down.

As Shen Long and Mu Weiwei sipped their tea and chatted, the conversation turned to the Three Immortals Sect.

"I’ve heard that the Three Immortals Sect is offering a high reward for the capture of Lu Qian; have they not caught him yet?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"Not yet, but I’ve heard the Three Immortals Sect has dispatched quite a number of people who are secretly searching for Lu Qian."

Mu Weiwei said.

"Searching for Lu Qian in secret?"

Shen Long was slightly startled; he felt that the actions of the Three Immortals Sect were aimed at him rather than Lu Qian.

"Just rumors. Before I left the Northern Sea Cultivation World, the disciples of the Three Immortals Sect indeed became more active, spread across the four major marketplaces of the Outer Sea as if they were searching for someone. Perhaps it isn’t Lu Qian they’re looking for, but someone else or some treasures,"

Mu Weiwei explained.

Shen Long had a feeling they were looking for him; it was a good thing he had left the Northern Sea Cultivation World.

"By the way, Taoist Friend Shen, I’ve collected two third-grade Hundred Eyes Cicada Demon Cores."

Mu Weiwei took out a cyan jade box and passed it to Shen Long.

"Third-grade Hundred Eyes Cicada Demon Cores! That’s quite rare. Please name your price, Fairy Mu!"

Shen Long expressed his surprise, opened the jade box, and saw two golden Demon Cores inside.

"As long as Taoist Friend Shen likes them, they’re not worth much."

Mu Weiwei said indifferently.

"I don’t like to take advantage of others."

Shen Long stated earnestly.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Weiwei said, "How about this! I’ll give Taoist Friend Shen some third-grade Demon Cores and third-grade Monster Beasts, and you sell me some premium Essence Advancing Spiritual Power Elixirs?"

She took out a yellow Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long received the Storage Bag, swept it with his Divine Sense, nodded, and took out two cyan porcelain bottles to give to Mu Weiwei.

Mu Weiwei uncorked the bottles, poured out the Elixirs to inspect them, and after verifying they were correct, nodded her head.

"Fairy Mu, keep an eye out for any news about high-grade Spiritual Fire. If you manage to acquire high-grade Spiritual Fire, no amount of premium Elixirs will be an issue, including the Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Pill,"

Shen Long spoke earnestly.

The Red Lotus True Flame was only second-grade; advancing it to third-grade was difficult. The best solution was to acquire a clump of third-grade Spirit Flame for the Red Lotus True Flame to absorb and refine.

"High-grade Spiritual Fire? No problem, I’ll keep a lookout,"

Mu Weiwei readily promised.

After chatting over a cup of tea, Mu Weiwei bid farewell and left.

After leaving the teahouse, Shen Long rented a secluded blue-tiled courtyard and informed Ice Silkworm True Person of his whereabouts through the Messaging Plate.

He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, took out a golden Demon Core, and the cicada chirped joyfully as its body glittered with golden light.

With a flick of his wrist, the golden Demon Core left his hand and flew into the mouth of the Hundred Eyes Cicada, which swallowed it whole.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada turned into a streak of golden light and flew back into the Spirit Beast bag.

Shen Long entered a secret chamber, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate and regulate his breath.

······

In a secluded estate with a signboard reading "Tiandan Pill Garden," two Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood guard at the entrance.

Ye Sen, Ye Hongyao, and a tall young man in green robes were sitting in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"This time, many Alchemists have come. I wonder if there are any capable of producing premium Elixirs."

The young man in green said curiously.

Zhao Feng, a third-tier Alchemist.

"Senior Brother Zhao is joking. Grand Master Xuan has a fourth-tier Spirit Flame at his disposal, yet he hasn’t been able to refine a top-quality elixir. I estimate that currently, no Alchemist in Qian Yang Realm is capable of refining top-quality elixirs,"

Ye Hongyao disagreeing.

"Hongyao, don’t underestimate the people of the world; nothing is impossible. Perhaps we simply do not know of it. I, for one, do hope someone can refine a top-quality elixir. You should make more connections with Alchemists, as our Medicine King Valley is known for elixirs in the Donghua Cultivation Realm, but that does not mean Alchemists from other forces are to be taken lightly,"

Ye Sen spoke.

"Yes, Grand Master (Master),"

Ye Hongyao and Zhao Feng responded in unison.

...

A nine-story tall cyan pavilion bore the plaque "Heaven Rune Pavilion" with three large characters.

The main gates of the pavilion were tightly closed, and a gold-robed, middle-aged Elder with a profound gaze and immeasurable aura sat in the seat of honor.

A tall, blue-robed young man was reporting to the gold-robed Elder with a solemn expression.

"Gather more intelligence on Myriad Flame Valley, especially the map, to facilitate our actions."

The gold-robed Elder instructed.

Ma Shuo, in the early stage of Nascent Soul, hailing from the Heaven Rune Sect of the Southern Border Cultivation World.

"Yes, Master,"

The blue-robed young man readily agreed.

Han Luo, Late Stage of Core Formation.

He remembered something and said, "So many years have passed, that Fire Coral Beast hasn’t been killed by someone, has it?"

"It shouldn’t be! Its Divine Skills are not trivial, and Myriad Flame Valley isn’t an easy place either; however, we can’t rule out this possibility. This time, the Medicine King Conference has attracted many high-tier Cultivators. Keep an eye out for news of the Fire Coral Beast. There are surely more than one Fire Coral Beast in Myriad Flame Valley. If it comes to it, pick another one, but make sure to slaughter it,"

Ma Shuo said, his face full of killing intent.

"Yes, Master,"

Han Luo complied.

...

A tranquil small courtyard displayed a plaque with three golden characters "Qingcan Court".

Inside the courtyard stood a two-story tall cyan building and a cyan Stone Pavilion. Shen Long, Qin Hu, and Ice Silkworm True Person were sitting inside the pavilion, engaged in conversation.

"Since he is a friend of Master’s, I can sell Taoist Friend Qin a bottle of Vajra Bone Tempering Pill,"

Shen Long took out a cyan porcelain bottle and handed it over to Qin Hu.

Qin Hu wanted to buy the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill from him and offered a good deal in return, including the shell of a third-tier Monster Turtle. Shen Long readily agreed—possessing the third-tier turtle shell, he would be able to refine more Vajra Bone Tempering Pills.

"Thanks a lot, Taoist Friend Shen,"

Qin Hu said with gratitude, pouring out ten Vajra Bone Tempering Pills from the bottle, each one a top-grade elixir.

"Taoist Friend Lin, you have taken in a good disciple,"

Qin Hu complimented, then recalling something, he said, "By the way, you’ve arrived just in time. There’s a gathering soon, initiated by the disciple of Golden Crow True Monarch, Golden Crow Reverend, with both Nine Curves Hermit and Golden Butterfly Fairy attending. If you are interested, let’s go together!"

The Golden Crow Reverend, the Nine Curves Hermit, and the Golden Butterfly Fairy were all among the Donghua Deadly Ten, with far-reaching divine skills. Among them, the Golden Crow Reverend had the most renown, thanks to his master being the Golden Crow True Monarch.

"Great! Then we’ll trouble Taoist Friend Qin to lead the way,"

Ice Silkworm True Person thanked him.

"It’s no trouble at all, and it’s getting late; let’s head out,"

Qin Hu said.

They left Qingcan Court and arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard with red roof tiles; the plaque read "Golden Crow Courtyard" in three large characters.

Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood guard at the entrance; they did not stop Qin Hu and the others as they walked in.

Inside the courtyard was a three-story tall golden pavilion and a Stone Pavilion where five Core Formation Cultivators, four males and one female, sat drinking tea and talking leisurely, with Nine Curves Hermit and Golden Butterfly Fairy among them.

A tall, thin man in golden robes caught Shen Long’s attention. The golden-robed man had several Spirit Beast pouches tied around his waist and a pattern of a Golden Crow embroidered on his clothes.

"Taoist Friend Qin, who might these two friends be?"

The golden-robed man spoke with a booming voice.

Shen Long and Ice Silkworm True Person quickly gave their names. The golden-robed man let out a slight smile and said, "So you are Cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect. I am Xu Tianya, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you two."
