Chapter 613: 522 Baijun Dan (out of stock today)_1

Li Yunpeng took out over a hundred types of materials, such as high-level spiritual medicine, ores, Monster Beasts materials, spirit water, Demon Cores, Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, and so on.

Shen Long was secretly shocked, a Soul Transformation Cultivator from The Lower Realm simply couldn’t produce so many good items.

"Exchange for materials of the same value."

Li Yunpeng said.

"Taoist Friend Li, are those fifth-grade Yin Pearls?"

Shen Long pointed at two black pearls and asked.

"These are Yin Pearls from a mid-stage Divinity Transformation Ghost Creature, we even got injured to exterminate those two Ghost Creatures."

Li Yunpeng explained.

Shen Long took out two white dragon scales and handed them to Li Yunpeng, speaking through a voice transmission, "These are Life-Bound Scales from an initial-stage fifth-grade Ice Flood Dragon, how about exchanging them for these two Yin Pearls?"

With these two Yin Pearls and a Wind Attribute fifth-grade Demon Core, the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon could definitely advance to the fifth grade.

"Life-Bound Scales of a fifth-grade Ice Flood Dragon?"

A flash of surprise crossed Li Yunpeng’s eyes, an Ice Flood Dragon of the fifth grade was harder to kill than a mid-stage Divinity Transformation Ghost Creature, where did Shen Long get the Life-Bound Scales of a fifth-grade Flood Dragon?

The Life-Bound Scales of a Flood Dragon were not numerous and were also among the more precious materials for Artifact Refining found on their bodies. Losing its Life-Bound Scales, a Flood Dragon would definitely be greatly weakened.

He readily agreed, passing the two Yin Pearls to Shen Long.

Li Tianxue and others began to communicate with Li Yunpeng through voice transmission, taking out items for him to examine.

Only a few people managed to successfully exchange, and once Li Yunpeng finished trading, Li Yunting took out items to exchange.

The Cultivators took turns presenting their materials for exchange, and Shen Long saw many good items, but there weren’t many things he could offer, so he could only look on.

Half an hour later, Shen Long stood up and presented over a dozen materials, mostly Elixirs, and two pieces of Soul Nourishing Wood.

"I wish to exchange for Essence Blood of a fifth-grade Demon Ape with Mountain Giant Ape Bloodline, or materials of equivalent value."

Shen Long said.

"Ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood!"

Li Yunpeng was somewhat surprised, he took out a jade box and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "Taoist Friend Shen, this is a Demon Core from a mid-stage fifth-grade Green-Eyed Power Ape, how about exchanging it for the ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood?"

He thought that Shen Long wanted the Essence Blood to cultivate a Spirit Monkey, as after all, Shen Long was from the Qianling Sect, it would be quite normal for him to use the Essence Blood of Monster Beasts with powerful bloodlines to cultivate Spirit Beasts.

"I’m not interested in ordinary fifth-grade Demon Cores, it would be best to exchange for Essence Blood of a fifth-grade Demon Ape with Mountain Giant Ape Bloodline, I need it to cultivate a Spirit Monkey."

Shen Long said.

"Taoist Friend Shen, this is a Crystal Core from an initial-stage fifth-grade Flower Demon, how about exchanging it for a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood?"

Xue Sheng took out a green jade box and handed it to Shen Long, speaking through voice transmission.

Shen Long opened the jade box, a green Crystal Core came into view, he nodded and agreed to the exchange.

"Junior Brother Shen, I’ll exchange a bottle of Baijun Dan for a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood, how does that sound?"

Li Tianxue handed over a green porcelain bottle to Shen Long, speaking through voice transmission.

Baijun Dan could strengthen the power of the physical body, but in terms of value, the ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood was considerably more precious.

Shen Long pondered for a moment before agreeing to the exchange, Li Tianxue had been quite considerate towards him, so it was fine to exchange a piece of Soul Nourishing Wood with her.

He still had over twenty-thousand-year-old Six Cleansing Bamboos, which would tempt even a Void Refining Cultivator, so he dared not take them out.

The two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Wood were traded away, and the rest of his items failed to catch the eye of the other Soul Transformation Cultivators.

Shen Long put away his own items as Zhao Tianhu stood up, presenting dozens of materials.

Shen Long could see that Essence Blood of a fifth-grade Demon Ape with Mountain Giant Ape Bloodline was very valuable; strictly speaking, fifth-grade Demon Apes with Mountain Giant Ape Bloodline were quite rare, and he wondered who had created this cultivation technique.

After another half-hour, the trading session ended, and Li Tianxue and the others left gradually.

Upon returning to Qianling Garden, Li Tianxue asked, "Junior Brother Shen, cultivating a Spirit Monkey doesn’t necessarily require Essence Blood of a fifth-grade Demon Ape with a Mountain Giant Ape Bloodline, it’s too difficult. Essence Blood of a fifth-grade Demon Ape with high Purity of Bloodline or a Demon Core would also suffice."

"Yes! Demon Apes with Mountain Giant Ape Bloodline are not easy to find, but if it’s a fifth-grade Demon Ape, it would be much easier."

Zhao Tianhu echoed the sentiment.

"I do hope the Spirit Monkey can inherit some of the Divine Skills from the Mountain Giant Ape. I actually thought there were many fifth-order Demon Apes with the Mountain Giant Ape bloodline in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot."

Shen Long said with a wry smile.

"How could there be many? Fifth-order Demon Apes are indeed numerous, but it’s rare to see one with a bloodline purity of five, let alone one possessing the bloodline of a Mountain Giant Ape," Zhao Tianhu said earnestly.

Li Tianxue nodded and said, "Yes! Even if you obtain Essence Blood from a fifth-order Demon Ape with the Mountain Giant Ape bloodline, it doesn’t mean your Spirit Monkey will be able to inherit the Divine Skills of the Mountain Giant Ape after refining the Essence Blood. After all, the Mountain Giant Ape is a True Spirit, and its Divine Skills are not so easily inherited."

"I read about it in the classics and wanted to give it a try. Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Li."

Shen Long thanked them.

"It’s nothing. I had the same thought before, but nurturing a Spirit Beast can’t be rushed. It needs to be done based on the actual situation," Zhao Tianhu advised comfortingly.

After some idle chat, Shen Long returned to the Begonia Pavilion, entered the Practice Room, and then proceeded into the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He fed a fifth-order Wood Demon Crystal Core to the Tree Demon and a fifth-order Yin Pearl to the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon; they both fell into a deep slumber. Shen Long then exited the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He took out a blue porcelain bottle and poured out a golden pill with nine Pill Patterns on its surface.

"Baijun Dan!"

Shen Long muttered to himself and tossed the Baijun Dan into his mouth.

The elixir melted upon contact with his mouth, turning into a tremendous surge of energy that recklessly coursed through his body. He hurriedly began Cultivating to refine this energy.

...

In Qingchan Garden, Li Yunpeng and Li Yunting were discussing something.

"Do you think there’s a problem with the Art of Transformation that Taoist Friend Shen cultivates?"

Li Yunting asked, puzzled.

"Not a problem, exactly—it’s just that the Art of Transformation is very powerful. As you saw, without using the Art of Transformation, Taoist Friend Shen’s physical strength is not as great as mine, but once he uses it, I’m no match for him at all. Considering he wants Essence Blood from a fifth-order Demon Ape with Mountain Giant Ape bloodline, could it be that he’s cultivating with the Essence Blood?"

Li Yunpeng speculated.

"We can’t rule out that possibility. However, fifth-order Demon Apes with Mountain Giant Ape bloodline are quite rare, so it will not be easy for him to find this type of Monster Beast Essence Blood," Li Yunting analyzed. She seemed to remember something and said, "I wonder who has raised a high-ranking Spirit Scorpion. My Five-Colored Scorpion sensed the presence of a higher-ranked kin and is very nervous; its bloodline purity has reached four, meaning the other’s bloodline purity must be at least five."

"The Five-Colored Scorpion still can’t speak human language; can’t it lock onto the other’s location?" Li Yunpeng asked, confused.

"No, it just became restless all of a sudden and then went back to normal. This means that the other party is too disdainful to bother with it, hinting that the bloodline purity might reach six," Li Yunting said with a grave face.

"What! A Spirit Scorpion’s bloodline purity reaching six? That can’t be possible!" Li Yunpeng said, somewhat incredulously.

"It’s just a guess. I remember Fairy Li raised a fifth-order Ice Crystal Scorpion. Maybe that’s what caused it. If I could get an Enlightening Pill, my Five-Colored Scorpion would also be able to speak, making communication much more convenient," Li Yunting said, her tone tinged with regret.

"There will be opportunities in the future. I didn’t expect that Taoist Friend Shen would be able to produce a fifth-order Ice Flood Dragon’s Life-Bound Scale. He couldn’t have killed a fifth-order Ice Flood Dragon, could he?" Li Yunpeng said curiously.

"That shouldn’t be the case. A cultivator capable of slaying a Dragon of the same level wouldn’t be unknown. Fairy Li has never mentioned Taoist Friend Shen before, so I think Taoist Friend Shen must have been out on business before and only recently came to the marketplace with Fairy Li," Li Yunting analyzed.

A cultivator capable of slaying a Dragon of the same level would have already been famous, and since she had never heard of Shen Long before, she reckoned that Shen Long must have exchanged it with a fellow sect member.

Li Yunpeng nodded, "That makes sense. He probably exchanged it for the Thousand-Year Soul Nourishing Wood."
