Chapter 540: 448 Exchange for Fifth-Order Demon Ape Essence Blood_1

The news of Shen Long’s advancement to the Divinity Transformation Stage had already spread, so it was quite normal for Mo Wuya to invite Shen Long over for a chat.

With one more Soul Transformation Cultivator, the Qianyang Realm’s speaking rights would increase.

"Master, let’s talk later."

Shen Long greeted him and then turned and left.

"Our Spirit Control Sect has produced another Soul Transformation Cultivator."

Yuan Rui was thrilled; the Spirit Control Sect hadn’t seen another Soul Transformation Cultivator since the grandmaster’s ascension.

After more than fifty thousand years, the Spirit Control Sect had finally seen another Soul Transformation Cultivator.

"Yes! We never imagined we’d actually guess right. No wonder he hasn’t shown himself for so many years. It seems he was in seclusion in previous years, breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage."

Bingchan True Person was full of pride.

His disciple had advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage, surpassing him in excellence.

Yuan Rui nodded excitedly, recalling something. He said, "Let’s hope he survives this great battle!"

If Shen Long died in the great battle, that would just be a fleeting moment of glory.

Wanjian Swords Garden, where Mo Wuya, Qinglian Sword Venerable, Huang Ziqi and Taihao True Monarch gathered in a green stone pavilion.

"I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Shen to advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage. It seems their attack on the Green Flood Dragon Mountain Range yielded the Miracle Elixirs needed for the breakthrough."

Huang Ziqi analyzed.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu’s attack on the Green Flood Dragon Mountain Range meant the Green Flood Dragon Tribe must have had something valuable, likely a spiritual object to assist in breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

"Even with Miracle Elixirs for the Divinity Transformation Stage, it’s no guarantee to advance. Taoist Friend Shen’s progress is remarkable. Regardless, the Spirit Control Sect has indeed produced a Soul Transformation Cultivator."

Qinglian Sword Venerable praised.

Many forces in Qianyang Realm have a long heritage, with several continuously producing new Soul Transformation Cultivators, such as the Wanjian Sect, Medicine King Valley, Nether Corpse Sect and Heavenly Beast Island.

Other forces are but a brief flame of glory, like the Five Sage Sect, which is declining over the years, and some long-standing forces have vanished into the annals of history.

"Taoist Friend Shen is an Alchemist; I wonder how successful he is in producing fifth-grade elixirs."

Taihao True Monarch asked, full of curiosity.

"Does Taoist Friend Wang wish to concoct fifth-grade elixirs?"

A hearty male voice rang out.

As the voice fell, Shen Long walked in, smiling.

"I am Shen Long. Greetings to all Taoist Friends."

Shen Long said with a fist and palm salute.

In the past, these four were his seniors; now they were his peers.

"Congratulations to Taoist Friend Shen on advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage, adding yet another Soul Transformation Cultivator to our Qianyang Realm."

Mo Wuya took the lead in congratulating him.

"It’s been many years, Taoist Friend Shen. Congratulations on your advancement."

Qinglian Sword Venerable offered his congratulations.

After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Long took a seat.

"Taoist Friend Wang, you wish to concoct fifth-grade elixirs? I could help."

Shen Long opened the discussion.

"How confident are you, Taoist Friend Shen?"

Taihao True Monarch asked with a frown.

"Eighty percent. Would you dare let me have a try?"

Shen Long said with a smile.

Taihao True Monarch showed a hesitant expression; it had not been easy for him to gather a set of ingredients. If the concoction failed, he had no idea how long it would take to gather another set.

"Taoist Friend Shen has earned a good reputation at the alchemy competition hosted by Medicine King Valley in earlier years; his alchemy skills are quite high."

Mo Wuya spoke highly of Shen Long.

"There is no rush for this matter. Let Taoist Friend Wang think about it."

Shen Long didn’t press the issue and shifted the topic. "By the way, do you have any fifth-grade Demon Ape Essence Blood? I could trade materials with you."

He took out a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood about two feet long and a piece of Six Cleansing Bamboos about a foot long and said, "This is ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood and Twenty-thousand-year-old Six Cleansing Bamboos that I’ve seized from the treasury of the Green Flood Dragon Tribe."

The Soul Nourishing Wood and the Six Cleansing Bamboos did not actually come from the treasury of the Green Flood Dragon Tribe but from a secret realm and dangerous territories. Shen Long had obtained a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood and a stalk of thirty-thousand-year-old Six Cleansing Bamboos, choosing just to cut a piece to trade for resources.

Claiming they were from the Green Flood Dragon Tribe was more sensible and would lower the covetousness of other Soul Transformation Cultivators.

"Ten thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood! Over twenty thousand Six Cleansing Bamboos!"

Mo Wuya and his three companions inhaled sharply, their faces a picture of shock.

"So that’s why you attacked the Green Flood Dragon Tribe. Had we known earlier, we would have sent people to attack the large settlements of the Tianyuan Tribe."

Huang Ziqi said with a face full of envy.

"Essence blood of a five-stage demon ape? I remember that Taoist Friend Li from the Jade Huan Realm possesses a bottle of essence blood from a five-stage Strong Golden-Backed Ape. It’s just a question of whether he’s willing to make an exchange."

Mo Wuya said.

Shen Long’s eyes lit up as he asked, "Taoist Friend Mo, could you introduce me?"

"It’s a trivial matter. I’ll contact Taoist Friend Li right away."

Mo Wuya agreed and pulled out a green Law Disk flashing with spiritual light. He input a spell and said, "Taoist Friend Li, could you come to the Wanjian Swords Garden? Shen Long, the newly advanced Divinity Transformation Cultivator from Qianyang Realm, has long admired your reputation and would like to meet you."

"Taoist Friend Shen? Is he the one transferred from Qianyang Realm?"

Li Wenbin asked, puzzled.

"No, it’s Shen Long, Taoist Friend Shen, the one who penetrated the Green Flood Dragon Mountain Range years ago. He’s ascended to the Divinity Transformation Stage and has returned to Three Saints City."

Mo Wuya explained.

"It’s him? I’ll head to Wanjian Swords Garden now."

Li Wenbin agreed.

"Good, we will wait for your arrival."

Mo Wuya put away the green Law Disk and took out a blue one, inputting a spell and gesturing.

"Taoist Friend Li will come over soon. By the way, Taoist Friend Shen, where have you been cultivating all these years?"

Huang Ziqi casually asked.

"Fairy Chu and I have been hiding here and there, evading the encirclement and suppression by the Tianyuan Tribe. By the way, we discovered the location of a five-stage Ice Flood Dragon."

Shen Long said.

"What? A five-stage Ice Flood Dragon? I haven’t heard of that! Is there a five-stage Ice Flood Dragon in the Tianyuan Realm?"

The Qinglian Sword Venerable was shocked.

"The cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe haven’t subdued this dragon, have they?"

Taihao True Monarch said with a worried face.

If a five-stage Ice Flood Dragon appeared on the battlefield, the Human Clan would be under great pressure, and it could suffer a significant loss.

"That Ice Flood Dragon is deep within the North Cold Ice Plain, where the space is rather unstable. Battling there could collapse the space. The Tianyuan Tribe has always been sealing off the news. We only learned of the existence of the five-stage Ice Flood Dragon after ambushing several Nascent Soul Cultivators sent to the North Cold Ice Plain."

Shen Long explained.

"Even so, if the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Tianyuan Tribe subdue the dragon, it would be a significant boost to their power. At least, if they slay the dragon and refine its body into a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, that could enhance their strength."

The Qinglian Sword Venerable frowned and said.

"We must inform Taoist Friend Lin about this. This intelligence is crucial. We need to be on guard against this possibility. Otherwise, if the five-stage Ice Flood Dragon suddenly appears in the next great battle, we will indeed suffer a great loss."

Mo Wuya said gravely.

Unknown threats are the most terrifying. Knowing about the existence of the five-stage Ice Flood Dragon allows at least to strengthen our vigilance.

"Yes! This is also a merit. Taoist Friend Shen, you just returned and have already provided significant intelligence."

Huang Ziqi praised.

After some casual conversation, Li Wenbin arrived, and Mo Wuya invited him to sit down.

"This must be Taoist Friend Li! I am Shen Long, and it’s good to meet you, Taoist Friend Li."

Shen Long greeted him with a clenched fist.

"You’re too polite, Taoist Friend Shen. I’ve long heard of you. Congratulations on advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage,"

Li Wenbin said with a smile.

"Taoist Friend Li, I heard you possess a bottle of essence blood from a five-stage demon ape. I have a piece of ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood or over twenty thousand years of Six Cleansing Bamboos to trade with you. What do you think?"

Shen Long took out the Soul Nourishing Wood and the Six Cleansing Bamboos.

"Ten thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood! Over twenty thousand years of Six Cleansing Bamboos?"

Li Wenbin inhaled sharply. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "I’d like the Soul Nourishing Wood."

He took out a golden porcelain bottle and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long pried open the bottle stopper, and a pungent smell of blood wafted out. He carefully checked and confirmed it was the essence blood of a five-stage Monster Beast, then handed over the Soul Nourishing Wood to Li Wenbin.
