Chapter 610: 519 Five-Flame Stone_1

Shen Long followed the man in the golden shirt to the seventh floor, which was elegantly decorated with several landscape paintings on the walls. A woman with striking features, dressed in a red skirt, was seated next to a cyan tea table.

The woman in the red skirt was flipping through a thick ledger. When she saw Shen Long and the man in the golden shirt, she closed the ledger.

"Shopkeeper, this senior wishes to purchase some fifth-grade Demon Cores."

introduced the man in the golden shirt.

"I will attend to this friend. You may step down."

The woman in the red skirt waved her hand, dismissing the man in the golden shirt as her gaze settled on Shen Long. She smiled and said, "My name is Mu Hongyu. May I ask how the friend is called?"

"My surname is Shen,"

said Shen Long, revealing his surname.

"It turns out to be Taoist Friend Shen. This is our store’s catalog of Demon Cores; please take your time to choose."

Mu Hongyu brought out a luminous red Law Disk and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long carefully examined it, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise.

Most are Five Elements Demon Cores, and the Thunder Attribute fifth-grade Demon Cores are quite pricey,

"Madam Mu, do you not have fifth-grade Wood Demon Crystal Cores or fifth-grade Yin Pearls?"

Shen Long asked, frowning.

"Those two items are indeed rare treasures, especially the fifth-grade Wood Demon Crystal Cores, which Alchemists usually use in setting up large formations and cultivating rare Spiritual Medicines,"

explained Mu Hongyu with a smile.

Shen Long bought forty fifth-grade Demon Cores, to be used to feed his Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, and Spirit Insects.

"Madam Mu, I do not carry so many Spirit Stones on me. Could I use items for collateral instead?"

asked Shen Long.

"It depends on the item. We do not accept just anything,"

Mu Hongyu responded with a slight smile.

Shen Long took out a golden porcelain bottle and said, "The Essence Blood of a fifth-grade Four-Winged Golden Crow, a descendant of the Golden Crow, including its corpse."

Bian Xiao had raised a Four-Winged Golden Crow, which had been killed by Shen Long.

"What! The Essence Blood of a fifth-grade Four-Winged Golden Crow? May I check it?"

Mu Hongyu asked, somewhat surprised.

Shen Long nodded and handed the golden porcelain bottle to Mu Hongyu.

Mu Hongyu removed the stopper from the bottle, took out a golden mirror shimmering with light, and poured Mana into it.

The Golden Mirrors immediately emitted dazzling golden light, projecting a beam of golden radiance that enveloped the golden porcelain bottle, while the mirror emitted a piercing shriek and displayed various patterns of Spirit Birds.

After a while, the image on the mirror stabilized, revealing a Golden Crow.

"Indeed, it is the Essence Blood of a Golden Crow descendant! Taoist Friend Shen, could you bring out its corpse for me to examine?"

asked Mu Hongyu politely.

"It won’t fit here, will it?"

Shen Long questioned, taking out a cyan Storage Bag and passing it to Mu Hongyu.

Mu Hongyu’s body radiated a bright red glow, and she stepped into one of the landscape paintings.

"A space Spiritual Treasure!"

Shen Long exclaimed, astonished.

He had obtained many Spiritual Treasures in The Lower Realm, but not a single space treasure. It seemed that Thousand Demon Pavilion actually possessed a space Spiritual Treasure.

A powerful Divine Sense swept over Shen Long’s body, clearly the doing of a high-level expert from Thousand Demon Pavilion.

It wasn’t long before Mu Hongyu emerged from within the landscape painting.

"Taoist Friend Shen, we’ll take the Four-Winged Golden Crow’s corpse and Essence Blood. However, the quantity of Demon Cores you’re asking for is too great; it’s still not enough,"

said Mu Hongyu.

"What if I add two bottles of fifth-grade Snow Ganoderma Pills?"

Shen Long took out two cyan porcelain bottles and handed them to Mu Hongyu.

"Snow Ganoderma Pills? Are you perhaps an Alchemist from the Qianling Sect?"

Mu Hongyu asked with courtesy.

Shen Long nodded slightly, effectively admitting it. This was his way of warning Mu Hongyu not to entertain any other ideas.

Mu Hongyu checked the Elixirs in the porcelain bottles and, after confirming there were no issues, she nodded and said, "No problem, we have a deal."

"Madam Mu, do you have the Essence Blood of a rank five Monster Beast for sale?"

Shen Long asked.

"Of course, may I know which kind of Monster Beast’s Essence Blood Taoist Friend Shen desires?"

Mu Hongyu’s tone was warm.

"Rank five Demon Ape, it would be better if there is a catalog."

Shen Long said.

Mu Hongyu took out a golden Law Disk that shimmered with golden light, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "This is the catalog for the Essence Blood of rank five Monster Beasts, Taoist Friend Shen can take his time to choose."

Shen Long took the golden Law Disk and examined it carefully, his brows slightly furrowed.

There were quite a few types of rank five Demon Apes, all of them common varieties.

"Madam Mu, is there no Essence Blood of a rank five Demon Ape with the bloodline of a Mountain Giant Ape?"

Shen Long asked with a frown.

"Mountain Giant Ape? Taoist Friend Shen truly has high expectations for us. Such items might be seen at an auction."

Mu Hongyu replied with a bitter smile.

After chatting idly for a while, a man in a golden shirt walked up, holding a golden Storage Bracelet in his hand and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned it with his Divine Sense, confirmed that there were forty rank five Demon Cores inside, nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and left.

After leaving the Thousand Demon Pavilion, Chen Yue quickly came up to him.

"Take me to the Spirit Medicine Shop."

Shen Long instructed, and tossed a medium-grade Spirit Stone to Chen Yue.

"Yes, senior, please follow me."

Chen Yue took the Spirit Stone, her smile growing wider, and hurriedly led the way.

An hour later, Shen Long walked out of a palace that was resplendent with gold and jade, and Chen Yue quickly approached him.

"You don’t need to follow me anymore. Keep your mouth shut, or you know the consequences."

Shen Long took out two medium-grade Spirit Stones, handed them to Chen Yue, and strode away.

Chen Yue repeatedly thanked him, accepted the Spirit Stones, and left.

Shen Long walked around the streets. As the sky gradually darkened, lights illuminated the marketplace, and the number of people on the streets only increased.

After over half an hour, Shen Long arrived at a vast Azure Stone Plaza. There were many stalls here, with various items displayed on them, such as Elixirs, Spiritual Medicines, and Monster Beasts Materials, and so on.

Shen Long browsed the stalls, but there were so many varieties of items, most of which he did not recognize, and he found it all quite dazzling.

"A piece of Five-Flame Stone, but your asking price is way too high!"

"Exactly, Five Lights Soft Jade isn’t just any ordinary material."

"If you don’t have it, then scram; I wasn’t really going to buy from you."

······

A burst of intense arguing broke out, drawing many Cultivators over.

"Five-Flame Stone!"

Something stirred in Shen Long’s heart, and he quickly walked over.

He arrived at a stall where the owner, a ruddy-faced man in a red robe, had various items displayed on it. A five-colored mineral stone caught Shen Long’s attention.

The five-colored mineral stone emitted waves of heat, and its surface was marked with fiery patterns.

"Unless you have Five Lights Soft Jade or something of equivalent value, don’t bother me," the man in the red robe said irritably.

"Fellow Daoist, how about I trade a section of ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood for the Five-Flame Stone?" Shen Long transmitted his voice to the man in the red robe and took out a blue Storage Bag.

He did have a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood that was over ten thousand years old; using a section of it to exchange for materials was no big deal.

The man in the red robe took the blue Storage Bag, swept it with his Divine Sense, and his eyes revealed a delighted look. He nodded and said, "No problem, it’s a deal."

He handed the Five-Flame Stone to Shen Long; to him, the ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood was far more precious than the Five-Flame Stone.

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and a sweet, feminine voice rang out: "Taoist Friend Xu, I have brought the item you wanted."

A slender girl in a golden dress appeared at the stall, her aura indicating that she was at the late stage of Divinity Transformation.

"Sorry, Fairy Chen, the Five-Flame Stone has already been exchanged with this fellow Daoist," the man in the red robe said, pointing at Shen Long.
