Chapter 611: 520 Green Lion Ridge Chen Family_1

The young lady in the golden skirt knit her eyebrows and looked towards Shen Long, speaking politely, "My name is Chen Yurao, and I wonder, could you let me have the Five-Flame Stone? The price is negotiable."

"I apologize, but I must decline,"

Shen Long tactfully refused.

"I hope you could do me the favor in consideration of the Chen Family, and I will ensure you don’t suffer a loss."

Chen Yurao revealed her family background.

"The Chen Family? Which Chen Family?"

Shen Long was thoroughly confused. The cultivation families of the Green Lotus Continent were as numerous as the hairs on an ox, and he had no idea of Chen Yurao’s origins.

"Do you not even recognize Fairy Chen? Fairy Chen hails from the Chen Family of Green Lion Ridge, with a legacy spanning tens of thousands of years, boasting over a dozen Void Refinement cultivators."

"It would be wise of you to relinquish the Five-Flame Stone to Fairy Chen."

"Yes! Why provoke the Chen Family over a mere Five-Flame Stone?"

The surrounding cultivators chimed in one after another, persuading Shen Long to give up the Five-Flame Stone.

"Rest assured, Taoist friend, I can provide a satisfactory compensation."

Chen Yurao earnestly said, not knowing Shen Long’s origins and not wanting to be too presumptuous.

Shen Long took out his Identity Token, a playful expression on his face.

"Qianling Sect!"

Chen Yurao’s expression greatly changed upon seeing the Identity Token Shen Long took out.

After all, the Qianling Sect was a regional hegemon, far surpassing the Chen Family.

The cultivators who were watching showed a look of awe on their faces; they never imagined Shen Long had such a significant background.

"I truly apologize for my ignorance and for failing to recognize Mount Tai. I ask you to give me a chance to make amends,"

Chen Yurao said politely, looking somewhat nervous.

If the elders of her clan learned about today’s events, they would surely not let her off lightly. Chen Yurao had failed to recognize Shen Long’s identity because he was in plain clothing.

If she had known Shen Long was a disciple of the Qianling Sect, she wouldn’t have dared to vie with Shen Long over the Five-Flame Stone even if she had a hundred times the courage.

"I happen to be a little thirsty. Perhaps Fairy Chen can find us a place where we can have a cup of tea and chat slowly?"

Shen Long said.

Chen Yurao heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Our Chen Family has opened a tea house not far from here, please follow me."

Chen Yurao led Shen Long away, and the crowd of cultivators dispersed as well.

Half an hour later, Chen Yurao and Shen Long arrived at a nine-story blue building, with a sign that read "Green Dew Pavilion," where quite a few cultivators were coming and going.

"Taoist Friend Shen, please come in."

Chen Yurao made a welcoming gesture and spoke politely.

Shen Long nodded and followed Chen Yurao inside, where she requested a private room.

Just as they sat down, a green-robed attendant came in carrying Spiritual Tea and snacks. After placing the tea and snacks on the table, the attendant took his leave.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I failed to recognize Mount Tai. I apologize with tea in place of wine,"

Chen Yurao lifted her teacup and downed it in one gulp.

"Fairy Chen is too polite. It’s not a big deal. There’s something I want to inquire about with Fairy Chen,"

Shen Long changed the topic.

"What is it? You may speak freely, Taoist Friend Shen."

Chen Yurao said politely, already prepared for the worst.

"Do you know the whereabouts of a fifth-order Demon Ape with Mountain Giant Ape bloodline? Essence Blood will do as well,"

Shen Long said.

"Essence Blood of a fifth-order Demon Ape with the Mountain Giant Ape bloodline? I’m not quite sure. Let me have my clan brother inquire for you,"

Chen Yurao said as she took out a shimmering Law Disk, injected a spell into it, and proceeded with a series of gestures.

About half a quarter-hour later, Chen Yurao put away the golden Law Disk with a troubled face and said, "I’m sorry, Taoist Friend Shen, my clan brother also has no idea."

Shen Long gave a faint smile and said, "No problem, if there’s any news, please notify me, Fairy Chen."

"Certainly."

Chen Yurao agreed.

As Shen Long started talking about Alchemy related issues, Chen Yurao became very interested, and they exchanged knowledge on the art of Alchemy.

"I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Shen to be an Alchemist too. May I ask which senior did you apprentice under?"

Chen Yurao asked curiously.

"I don’t have a master at Qianling Sect."

Shen Long spoke truthfully, and since Ice Silkworm True Person was still in The Lower Realm, what Shen Long did was not wrong.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yurao breathed a sigh of relief. It was somewhat better that Shen Long had no master.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long took out a Messaging Plate that glittered with red light, input a spell, and Li Tianxue’s voice rang out: "Junior Brother Shen, we’re staying at Qianling Garden. You can come back to rest at Qianling Garden later. Oh, and there’s a gathering hosted by Taoist Friend Li tomorrow night at the hour of Xu, with quite a few Soul Transformation Cultivators attending. Come along and meet a few Taoist friends!"

"Okay, Senior Sister Li."

Shen Long promised.

"That’s all then! Go ahead with your business!"

Li Tianxue cut off the connection.

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate and continued to exchange knowledge on the art of Alchemy with Chen Yurao.

Half an hour later, Shen Long took his leave, and Chen Yurao personally saw him off from the Green Dew Pavilion.

Shen Long took a walk along the streets and after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he stood at the entrance of a nine-storied blue pavilion from which a thick fragrance of wine wafted out.

"Dukang Pavilion!"

Shen Long looked at the three golden characters on the plaque and strode in.

According to Chen Yue’s introduction, the Dukang Pavilion is the largest tavern in Golden Cicada Marketplace, with a history of tens of thousands of years, selling various kinds of Spiritual Wine.

After a quarter-hour, Shen Long came out with a smile on his face, having purchased a jar of Golden Dragon Brew, a fifth-grade Spiritual Wine that could enhance Qi and blood and strengthen the physical body.

He had wanted to buy more, but there was only one jar left, and the new stock hadn’t arrived yet.

About half an hour later, Shen Long arrived at the entrance of a vast estate, with a plaque above the gate that read "Qianling Garden" in large characters.

"Junior Brother Shen, have you just come back too?"

The voice of Zhao Tianhu came from behind Shen Long.

Shen Long turned around and saw Zhao Tianhu approaching.

"Senior Brother Zhao, isn’t Senior Sister Lin with you?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"No, Senior Sister Lin is busy with some affairs and didn’t come with me."

Zhao Tianhu chatted idly with Shen Long as the two entered Qianling Garden. After a few words, they parted ways.

Shen Long arrived at a quiet courtyard with green tiles and found a three-storied red pavilion with a plaque reading "Begonia Pavilion" in big characters.

Shen Long pushed open the door and walked in, heading straight to a Practice Room.

He took out an oval-shaped green fruit with spiral patterns visible on its surface.

The Green Whirl Fruit, with a growth cycle of two thousand years, can extend one’s lifespan by two hundred years.

The cultivation resources in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot were astonishingly abundant, and there were many kinds of life-extending Spiritual Fruits and medicines. Any life-extending Spiritual Fruits and medicines could only be consumed once, with the second consumption being ineffective.

Li Tianxue had gifted him a Longevity Fruit and a Yang Enhancement Fruit, both of which Shen Long had already consumed, extending his lifespan by a thousand years.

Today, he purchased four kinds of life-extending Spiritual Fruits, and consuming all of them would extend his life by another thousand years.

In this way, he had gained an additional two thousand years of lifespan out of thin air, something inconceivable in The Lower Realm, which is why cultivators in The Lower Realm were so desperate to ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

In the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Soul Transformation Cultivators could take numerous miracle elixirs to easily live for five thousand years.

Shen Long swiftly consumed the Green Whirl Fruit. The flesh was sweet and juicy, and he quickly started to cultivate, refining and absorbing its essence.
