Chapter 508: 416 Ice Flood Dragon Mutation (None left today)

Time swiftly passes, and sixty years have gone by.

Spirit Control Sect, Golden Roc Peak.

In a certain secret chamber, Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red cushion, his eyes slightly closed, his body enveloped in a reddish glow.

After a while, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.

The reddish glow around Shen Long dissipated as he opened his eyes, which faintly emitted a sharp gleam.

He exhaled a breath of turbid air and with a flick of his fingers, a ray of red light shot out, striking the Sound Transmission Talisman.

The talisman spontaneously combusted, relaying Lin Sen’s voice, "Uncle Shen, a senior named Qian Hao has come to visit, saying that he has important matters to discuss with you."

"Qian Hao!"

Shen Long felt some surprise, as the Monster Beasts invaded the marketplace and Nascent Soul Cultivators fled in all directions, Qian Hao was nowhere to be found.

He stood up and walked out, and saw Lin Sen standing at the entrance, his expression respectful.

"Where is Qian Hao?" Shen Long asked.

"In the reception hall, Master Uncle Han is entertaining him," replied Lin Sen.

Shen Long nodded, transformed into a streak of escape light, and sped toward the reception hall.

Red Flood Dragon True Person was chatting and laughing leisurely with Qian Hao.

"Taoist Friend Shen, long time no see," greeted Qian Hao.

"Now that Junior Brother Shen is here, Taoist Friend Qian, you two talk." Red Flood Dragon True Person rose to leave, exiting the area.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qian Hao got down to business, "Taoist Friend Shen, I heard you are looking for that mutant, fourth-rank Monster Beast."

"Oh? Taoist Friend Qian, do you have some news?" Shen Long inquired.

"I’ve killed that beast, and I wonder if you would be interested in its corpse? It has the bloodline of the Dark Qilin, with a Purity of Bloodline reaching four, it wasn’t easy for me to slay it," Qian Hao stated.

"State your price, Taoist Friend Qian," said Shen Long.

The Fire Qilin Beast carried the bloodline of the Fire Qilin, and the Fire Qilin is related to the Dark Qilin.

"I want a bottle of Golden Soul Pill, a bottle of Elixir that strengthens divine sense, and a bottle of Elixir that enhances the physical body," Qian Hao declared, producing a blue Storage Bag and handing it over to Shen Long.

Shen Long swept his divine sense across it to confirm that there were no issues and nodded.

He took out three differently colored porcelain vials and handed them to Qian Hao, saying, "Taoist Friend Qian, why didn’t you subdue the beast instead of killing it?"

"At the time, I was being chased by several fourth-rank Monster Beasts. I didn’t have time to subdue it, only to kill it. I was also severely injured by several fourth-rank Monster Beasts, and I’ve been healing ever since," Qian Hao explained, accepting the three bottles and checking them with a delighted expression.

Shen Long suddenly realized why Qian Hao had gone silent all of a sudden.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer, Taoist Friend Shen," Qian Hao said as he rose to take his leave.

"Taoist Friend Qian, I hope you can keep this matter confidential. I would prefer not to let other cultivators know about this," Shen Long cautioned.

"Rest assured, I understand this principle," Qian Hao agreed.

Shen Long nodded and personally saw Qian Hao off, giving him full courtesy.

Back at Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long summoned Lin Sen and inquired, "Have there been any major events in the Cultivation Realm during the years of my seclusion?"

"No, our sect’s Wu Hu, Master Uncle Wu, has advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, increasing the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators in our sect," Lin Sen said with undisguised pride.

As the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Spirit Control Sect continued to grow, so did its overall strength.

Shen Long nodded, and after inquiring about some matters, Lin Sen was frank with his knowledge.

"You can go back to your tasks now!"

Shen Long dismissed Lin Sen.

He entered a practice room, activated the restrictions, stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived at the second level.

He whistled, and a loud roar echoed as a burst of red light appeared in front of him; the Fire Qilin Beast materialized.

It was now at the middle stage of the fourth tier, its size significantly larger than before.

Shen Long took out a blue storage bag, flicked his wrist, and a streak of blue light flashed, revealing a huge Alien Beast on the ground.

Shen Long gouged out its eyes, allowing the Fire Qilin Beast to consume the corpse.

He proceeded to the fourth level, standing before the Myriad Beasts Stele.

"The purity of bloodline has reached five! A mutation has occurred."

Shen Long was overjoyed.

No sooner had he spoken than a deafening dragon’s roar resounded; the Ice Flood Dragon soared up from the ocean depths and flew to Shen Long’s side.

"Master!"

The Ice Flood Dragon spoke in a human tongue, having consecutively devoured the bodies and demon cores of three fourth-tier Flood Dragons, along with millennium-old Dragon Transformation Grass and a millennium-old Qixia Jade Lotus, thus reaching a bloodline purity of five and gaining the ability to speak.

Beyond that, the Ice Flood Dragon had also advanced to the late stage of the fourth tier. The three fourth-tier Flood Dragons were highly nourishing, not to mention its regular consumption of millennium-old Spiritual Medicine and fourth-tier Monster Beasts’ Demon Cores.

"Show me your new divine skills!"

Shen Long commanded.

The Ice Flood Dragon’s eyes shone with a dazzling blue light, each casting a beam onto the ocean’s surface.

The water rapidly froze over, forming a layer of blue ice.

"A blue ice layer!"

Something clicked in Shen Long’s mind as he exhaled a green flame that landed on the blue ice layer.

The blue ice showed no signs of melting; even after a good half-quarter of an hour, the layer remained unaffected.

"Even a fourth-tier Spirit Flame can’t do anything to it! And when it comes to Cultivators, there’s even less to say."

Shen Long was ecstatic.

The Qinglian True Flame was now much more formidable than an Infant Flame, and since even it could not affect the blue ice layer, Cultivators would stand no chance.

"Can you melt it away?"

Shen Long asked, retracting the Qinglian True Flame.

The Ice Flood Dragon expelled a beam of blue light from its mouth, which struck the blue ice layer, causing it to melt away without a trace.

"Good. From now on, use the Ice Escape Technique to approach enemies; no need to rely solely on physical strength."

Shen Long praised.

"It is all thanks to Master’s cultivation that I have reached this point."

The Ice Flood Dragon humbly said.

"Master, I would like to mutate as well."

No sooner had it spoken than a gust of wind blew through, and the Gold-Winged Windroc appeared.

It was still in the middle stage of the fourth tier, its size having also increased significantly.

"It was only after consuming three fourth-tier Flood Dragons, coupled with millennium-old Dragon Transformation Grass, that its bloodline purity increased; and with the millennium-old Qixia Jade Lotus, it mutated. We haven’t found any Elixir or Miracle Elixir that can enhance your bloodline purity, and the odds of mutating with just the Qixia Jade Lotus are not high,"

Shen Long explained.

He would have liked nothing more than for the Gold-Winged Windroc to mutate, but the Ice Flood Dragon had done so only because of the fourth-tier Flood Dragons, millennium-old Dragon Transformation Grass, and millennium-old Qixia Jade Lotus, whereas the Gold-Winged Windroc had only the millennium-old Qixia Jade Lotus.

The wind whistled, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon appeared, saying, "Master, I also wish to mutate!"

"I still haven’t obtained any Miracle Elixirs to enhance your bloodline purity; you’d better just continue your cultivation practices for now!"

Shen Long said, taking out three demon cores and three millennium-old Spiritual Medicines, feeding them to his beasts.

He left the Myriad Beasts Tower, turned his hand over, and an eyeball appeared in it.

This vertical eye from the Alien Beast could potentially be refined into a Spiritual Treasure.

If Ice Silkworm True Person would lend a hand, it could probably be forged into a Spiritual Treasure, which would be a formidable asset for breaking formations.

Shen Long left his residence and headed to Ice Silkworm Valley, where he sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

It wasn’t long before Chen Bing came out, smiling.

"Junior Brother, you’ve come out of seclusion,"

Chen Bing greeted him.
