Chapter 303: 216 The Great Battle Begins (None today)_1

Elixirs that heal divine soul injuries have always been in high demand, let alone superior-grade elixirs, even mid-grade ones are rarely seen, the key issue is that spiritual medicines and spirit fruits for the soul are difficult to cultivate and need to be watered with Heavenly Soul True Water.

"Senior Sister Chen, your injury isn’t too severe, this Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Pill should be able to heal your wounds."

Shen Long took out a cyan jade box and handed it to Chen Tianxue.

Chen Tianxue’s divine soul was not seriously injured; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to move freely. Huang Yong’s injury was severe, needing two Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Pills.

"Seven Stars Spirit Cultivating Pill! Thank you so much, Junior Brother Shen."

Chen Tianxue was overjoyed. She had originally just wanted to give it a try and had not expected that Shen Long could really produce one.

After a moment’s thought, she took out a black jade box and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "This is a five-hundred-year-old Soul Nourishing Herb! A small token of appreciation, please accept it, Junior Brother Shen!"

Shen Long did not decline and accepted it.

After a casual chat, Chen Tianxue bid farewell and left.

Shen Long entered the practice room, stepped into the Spirit Control Tower, and arrived at the second floor where he transplanted the Golden Flame Reishi Mushroom into a small valley, setting up a formation to keep the Fire Qilin Beast and the Gold-Winged Fire Ants from causing havoc.

He whistled sharply, and a loud roar of a beast echoed. The Fire Qilin Beast flew from a distance and in a flash, landed in front of him.

The Fire Qilin Beast’s limbs were wrapped in a fierce flame, melting traces appeared on the ground wherever these flames touched; it was now more than twice its original size, making Shen Long seem very small in comparison.

With a loud beastly roar, the Fire Qilin Beast crouched down.

Shen Long patted its head, took out a Beast Nurturing Pill and two red fruits, and fed them to the Fire Qilin Beast, then exited the Spirit Control Tower and left.

A resounding dragon chant rose, spreading throughout the entire Qianling Mountain Range.

After three consecutive dragon chants, the voice of Liu Zi’an came from the sky, "All Core Formation Cultivators, come to the Grandmaster Hall for a meeting, immediately."

"It seems something big has happened if they’re convening all the high-ranking members for a meeting."

Shen Long’s expression turned grave; in the many years he had been in the Spirit Control Sect, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He stomped his right foot on the ground, transforming into a streak of escape light that shot through the air.

Before long, he arrived at the Grandmaster Hall and saw Liu Zi’an and Du Yinyin seated in the main seats, with Ice Silkworm True Person, Red Flood Dragon True Person, and others standing on both sides, their expressions solemn.

Shen Long walked over and took his place.

In less than half an hour, the Grandmaster Hall had gathered over forty people, most of them Core Formation Cultivators.

"First, let me tell you something, Master Nephew Liu attempted to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage and failed, dying in the process. Shen Shizhu Shen Long is promoted to one of the Nine Outstanding."

Liu Zi’an spoke.

As this statement was made, most of the Core Formation Cultivators revealed expressions of shock.

"Uncle Liu, if I may be so bold to ask, what great deed has Junior Brother Shen accomplished to be designated as one of the Nine Outstanding?"

A burly golden-robed man asked.

"He has discovered a powerful cultivation technique and is able to refine high-grade elixirs; is that explanation sufficient?"

Liu Zi’an said calmly.

"I dare not, I only felt it was puzzling since Junior Brother Shen hadn’t performed any grand deeds. Since that’s the case, then Junior Brother Shen truly deserves the recognition."

The golden-robed man said nervously.

"It’s normal for you to not understand; most of you here don’t understand. In time, you will. Now let’s get to the matter at hand. The Wanjian Sect is preparing to deal with the Barbarian Tribe and has issued the Wanjian Order to us. We have accepted the order and are preparing to send elites to join the front lines against the barbarians."

Liu Zi’an started discussing serious affairs.

"What, going to war with the Barbarian Tribe? Why so suddenly?"

"Yes, why are we going to war with the Barbarian Tribe out of the blue?"

"Didn’t we already fight with the Barbarian Tribe last time? How come we have to engage with them again?"

······

The gathered Core Formation Cultivators buzzed with confusion.

Decades ago, the Human Cultivators fought a battle with two Barbarian Tribe clans, with many casualties on both sides.

"Last time was just a minor conflict, and no Nascent Soul Cultivators were involved. This time, Nascent Soul Cultivators will take part. As for the reason, the Wanjian Sect says it’s to further weaken the Barbarian Tribe’s power."

Liu Zi’an said.

He was well aware that the Wanjian Sect hadn’t disclosed their true strategic intentions to them, which was normal; the more people knew, the easier it was for secrets to leak. But one thing was certain—the Human Clan Cultivators were about to make a move against the Barbarian Tribe.

"The aim is to further weaken the Barbarian Tribe’s strength? The scale of this upcoming battle must be significant! Uncle Liu, what is the Wanjian Sect offering?"

Red Flood Dragon True Person asked politely.

"Slain Barbarian Cultivators will yield Kind Attribute. The higher the Cultivation of the Barbarian Cultivator, the more Kind Attribute will be awarded for their defeat, which can be exchanged for various resources, including Core Formation Spiritual Objects, Spiritual Treasures, fourth-tier Secret Talismans, high-grade Elixirs, and so on,"

Liu Zi’an explained.

"This battle is inevitable, and multiple forces will participate. Overall, we still have the upper hand."

Du Yinyin chimed in.

"Uncle Liu, Master Aunt Du, I am willing to join the fight."

Shen Long promptly declared his stance.

He was stuck at a bottleneck, and staying in the Qianling Mountain Range was not helping solve it; on the frontline fighting against Barbarian Cultivators, he might find the chance to break through his bottleneck.

"I am also willing to join the fight."

Red Flood Dragon True Person echoed.

Ice Silkworm True Person and several other Core Formation Cultivators also expressed their willingness to fight on the frontline against the Barbarian Tribe.

"Good. Master Nephew Han, Master Nephew Lin, Shen Shizhu, and others will set out with me first to join the frontline, and the rest will arrive a bit later. You all go and prepare; we will meet at the Grandmaster Hall in an hour. Master Nephew Chen, arrange for personnel to transport the Cultivation Resources."

Liu Zi’an instructed.

"Yes, Uncle Liu."

Shen Long and the others responded in unison.

Shen Long returned to Golden Roc Peak, called over people like Qian Dafu, and explained the situation to them.

"I’m heading to the frontline, and if you wish to participate in the battle, I can take you with me."

Shen Long declared.

"I am willing to participate in the battle."

Ye Yuqing voiced her readiness.

"I can help collect Cultivation Resources."

Qian Dafu expressed his support.

"My abilities are limited; I would prefer to stay in the Qianling Mountain Range."

Lin Shan was not keen to join the frontline, as it was too dangerous.

Shen Long did not insist, directing them, "Go back and pack up; Master Nephew Qian, hand over your business to someone else and accompany me to the frontline."

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Qian Dafu and the others agreed in unison, and one by one, they left.

Half an hour later, they gathered again in Golden Roc Garden.

Shen Long led them to the Grandmaster Hall, where hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators had assembled, including Ning Qianqian, Xu Feng, and Lin Sisi.

Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Liu Zi’an arrived.

"Greetings to Uncle Liu (Grandmaster Liu)."

Shen Long and the others saluted in unison.

Liu Zi’an nodded. With a flick of his sleeve, a thirty-plus-zhang-long green Flying Boat emerged and he stepped aboard. Shen Long and the rest followed suit.

"Depart!"

With a low shout from Liu Zi’an, the green Flying Boat lit up with a dazzling green light and soared into the sky, leaving the Qianling Mountain Range.

Almost at the same time, numerous families and Sects of the Human Clan mobilized their elite, rushing to join the frontline.
