Chapter 472: Refine Level 4 Spirit Flame_1

"Disciple pays respects to Master, Senior Lin."

Lihuo True Monarch bowed respectfully.

"Why didn’t you bring out your full set of Spiritual Treasures from the beginning?"

The voice of Qinglian Sword Venerable was heavy.

"Taoist Friend Shen does not possess a full set of Spiritual Treasures, doing so would be unfair, and winning would be meaningless. If it were a duel to the death, I would have brought out my full set of Spiritual Treasures long ago,"

Lihuo True Monarch spoke.

"Having lost the competition, what are your thoughts?"

Qinglian Sword Venerable continued to inquire.

"Once Taoist Friend Shen possesses a full set of Spiritual Treasures, I will spar with him again and make sure to defeat him."

Lihuo True Monarch said with full confidence.

Qinglian Sword Venerable nodded, then looked towards Shen Long and praised, "Young Friend Shen, your Divine Sense cultivation is remarkable, even surpassing that of Nascent Soul late stage cultivators. The next time you have a chance, compete with him again and give him a good lesson on my behalf, let him understand that there are always greater skies beyond one’s own."

"Yes, Senior Ye."

Shen Long agreed, his expression tense.

"Taoist Friend Ye, Madam Lin, it’s been a long time."

A resonant male voice resonated.

No sooner had the words fallen, Mo Wuya flew out from the marketplace and stopped with a flash.

"Paying respects to Senior Mo."

Shen Long and the others swiftly paid their respects, their expressions respectful.

"It’s been a long time, Taoist Friend Mo."

Qinglian Sword Venerable greeted him.

"The last time we met was three hundred years ago. Time truly flies quickly,"

Fairy Xuanbing said sentimentally.

"I thought you two had ascended to the Spirit Realm by now. I didn’t expect you were still in The Lower Realm. Come, let’s go to the marketplace for a chat,"

Mo Wuya said enthusiastically.

Qinglian Sword Venerable and Fairy Xuanbing nodded and entered the marketplace with Mo Wuya.

"Let’s also head back to the marketplace for a chat!"

Lin Qian suggested.

Shen Long and the others returned to the marketplace and went to Xuanbing Garden to chat over tea.

"Taoist Friend Shen, if I’m not wrong, that small seal is the Qianyang Seal, isn’t it? Isn’t that Taoist Friend Qin’s treasure? How did it end up in your hands?"

Chen Xin asked, puzzled.

"Taoist Friend Qin was killed by a Barbarian Cultivator, and I obtained it from their hands,"

Shen Long explained.

"Taoist Friend Qin is dead? No wonder."

Chen Xin suddenly realized and didn’t pursue the matter further.

Shen Long wouldn’t reveal the truth either; this matter involved the Demon Race and the Seven Stars True Monarch, and spreading the word would not benefit him. If he said the Seven Stars True Monarch only imparted an incomplete spell, a Soul Transformation Cultivator might not believe him and could even consider searching Shen Long’s soul.

"Taoist Friend Xu has a full set of Spiritual Treasures, and looking across the entire Qianyang Realm, there are few Nascent Soul cultivators who can stand as your match,"

Chen Xin said with a tone of envy.

"Taoist Friend Chen flatters me, there’s always someone better, and it’s not just me who has a full set of Spiritual Treasures. Nascent Soul cultivators with a full set are not invincible,"

Lihuo True Monarch responded nonchalantly.

"Yes! However, the fact that Taoist Friend Xu has a full set of Spiritual Treasures means there aren’t many who can compare to you just on that basis,"

Zhou Hualei said, full of envy.

After more than an hour of casual conversation, Lin Qian proposed an exchange of cultivation resources, which was met with unanimous approval from the cultivators.

As the initiator of the gathering, Lin Qian was the first to exchange items. She took out dozens of materials, mostly Elixirs and materials for crafting Spiritual Treasures, wanting to exchange them for Alchemy Materials.

Ice Silkworm True Person traded for two materials for crafting Spiritual Treasures, while Shen Long acquired a fourth-grade Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s Demon Core.

Most items Lin Qian brought were exchanged, setting a good precedent.

The cultivators took turns bringing out items for exchange. Lihuo True Monarch presented a fourth-grade middle stage Ice Flood Dragon’s inner core, which Shen Long traded a bottle of Golden Soul Pills for.

Chu Buyu traded for the Ice Flood Dragon’s Spirit Soul. Ice Silkworm True Person obtained a piece of the Ice Flood Dragon’s Beast Hide, which could be used to craft inner armor.

Chen Xin took out two fourth-grade early stage Fire Qilin Beast inner cores, which Shen Long exchanged a bottle of Blood Mushroom Pills for.

"Taoist Friend Xu slayed a fourth-stage middle-phase Ice Flood Dragon? No Essence Blood?"

The Red Flood Dragon True Person asked curiously.

Lihuo True Monarch nodded and said, "I exchanged the Essence Blood with a good friend, who I guess is in secluded cultivation right now, or else he would definitely have participated in the Myriad Swords Conference."

"With a full set of Spiritual Treasures at hand, even a fourth-stage late-phase Flood Dragon would be no match for Taoist Friend Xu!"

Chen Xin said with a face full of envy.

"Taoist Friend Chen overestimates me. A fourth-stage middle-phase Flood Dragon can already withstand a Spiritual Treasure, and the physical body of a fourth-stage late-phase Flood Dragon is even more abnormal. Just in terms of physical strength, the Flood Dragon ranks among the top three among all Monster Beasts, and its reputation is well-deserved," the Lihuo True Monarch said solemnly.

Zhou Hualei nodded and said, "One of my friends overestimated himself and tried to kill a fourth-stage late-phase Flood Dragon but ended up perishing along with his path."

"Zhou Friend, where did your friend encounter a fourth-stage late-phase Flood Dragon?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"The Northern Sea! That was hundreds of years ago. So many years have passed; I have no idea if that Red Fire Flood Dragon is still around," Zhou Hualei said.

"If it was already at the fourth-stage late phase hundreds of years ago, it wouldn’t have advanced to the fifth stage after all these years, would it?" Ye Hongyao asked curiously.

"The chances are slim. In the history of the Qianyang Realm, there have only been five fifth-stage Flood Dragons. In the Cultivation Realm of the Northern Sea, if a fifth-stage Monster Beast has a Purity of Bloodline of five, it can speak human language, and the total number of fifth-stage Monster Beasts across the entire Qianyang Realm isn’t that high," Chu Buyu said.

Lihuo True Monarch nodded and said, "Monster Beasts that have not undergone Transformation find it extremely difficult to break through major realms, unlike us, who can rely on Miracle Elixirs, talismans, formations, and other such aids."

More than an hour later, the exchange ended. Everyone went their separate ways, but Ye Hongyao stayed behind to chat idly with Lin Qian.

"With Divine Skills as powerful as Taoist Friend Shen’s, it’s no wonder he could slay the Profound Yin Ghost Mother alone," Lin Qian praised.

"The man that I, Ye Hongyao, fancy is naturally no ordinary person," Ye Hongyao said, filled with pride.

With a faint smile, Lin Qian teased, "Fairy Ye, Taoist Friend Shen is only the man you set your sights on, not your companion. You need to put in more effort."

"There’s no use rushing for hot tofu! What’s mine will not escape, and what’s not mine is useless even if bound to me," Ye Hongyao said confidently.

When he returned to his residence, Shen Long entered a practice room, activated the restriction, stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived at the fourth level.

The sea breeze blew, sending ripples across the ocean.

Shen Long whistled, and a deafening dragon roar emerged, with massive waves rising from the sea surface as the Ice Flood Dragon burst forth from the seabed and approached Shen Long.

Shen Long took out a white Demon Core, which was the inner core of a fourth-stage middle-phase Ice Flood Dragon.

With a flick of his wrist, the Demon Core flew out of his hand toward the Ice Flood Dragon.

The Ice Flood Dragon opened its gaping maw and let the Demon Core fly in, swallowing it whole.

Roar!

The Ice Flood Dragon howled upwards, its roar echoed for a thousand miles.

Shen Long could feel the Ice Flood Dragon’s joy and said with a smile, "Go back and assimilate the medicine’s power! I hope you advance to the fourth-stage middle phase soon."

He waved his hand, and the Ice Flood Dragon returned to the seabed.

Shen Long went to the second level and fed an inner core from a fourth-stage Fire Qilin Beast to the Fire Qilin Beast, then proceeded to the first level.

He took out a gourd that flashed with green light, infused a spell into it, and a green fire light flew out, transforming into a thick-bodied Green Fire Serpent that emitted terrifyingly high temperatures.

Fourth-stage Spirit Flame!

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, sending the Zizhu Blade shooting out and transforming into a purple rainbow streak that sliced through the body of the Green Fire Serpent, splitting it in two. The Green Fire Serpent turned into a large swath of green flames. The flames suddenly condensed and transformed back into the Green Fire Serpent.

The Zizhu Blade made a loop and split the Green Fire Serpent in half again. This time, before the green flames could coalesce back into a serpent, a giant Green Fire Phoenix swooped in, consumed a vast amount of the green flames, leaving behind a small Green Fire Serpent.

The Green Fire Serpent struggled against the Green Fire Phoenix, clearly no match, and unable to escape.

Within less than half an hour, the Green Fire Serpent was devoured by the Green Fire Phoenix.

The Green Fire Phoenix rolled in midair and turned into a green pearl that flew into Shen Long’s sleeve.

Once the Qinglian True Flame assimilates this lump of fourth-stage Spirit Flame, its power shall grow stronger, and Shen Long’s alchemy efficiency will increase.

Shen Long took out a Seven Stars Nourishing Spirit Pill and placed it into his mouth.

The elixir melted upon entering, and Shen Long hurriedly began cultivating to assimilate its power.

Threads of Divine Sense strength poured into his sea of consciousness, gradually expanding it.

His Divine Sense had already surpassed that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. In addition to the Miracle Elixirs, the Soul Nourishing Locket also played a role.
