Chapter 656: 565 Inventory Harvest (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_1

On the way back, Ning Sheng had already asked the disciples of the sect to hand over a portion of their cultivation resources.

"Blood Lizard Wood that’s twenty thousand years old is more than enough for refining a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, but unexpectedly, the disciples of the Qianling Sect have taken control of the secret realm. I wonder if the treasured item of the Feathered Wing True Monarch is still within the secret realm,"

Liu Hong said curiously.

"Not sure. The Jiang Family Cultivators got hold of the relics from Feathered Wing True Monarch’s incarnation and followed the clues to the secret realm. They are also uncertain whether the treasure is in the secret realm. According to my analysis, it’s highly probable that it isn’t there,"

Ning Sheng analyzed.

"Having that treasure in hand would make it very difficult to kill Feathered Wing True Monarch unless it’s by a surprise attack, taking him down quickly. But I guess that’s unlikely. Perhaps only the disciples of the Qianling Sect who are controlling the secret realm know about this!"

A plump woman dressed in a blood-red skirt voiced her opinion.

Wang Yue, at the Middle Stage of Void Refinement.

"Right, the Life-Bound Lamps of Master Nephew Wu and the other three have all been extinguished. Hasn’t Master Nephew Chen returned?"

Liu Hong asked.

"No, they have died in the secret realm,"

Ning Sheng sighed.

"They had the Blood Flame Pearl with them; they should’ve been able to come together. Together, the five of them could face a Divinity Transformation Great Perfection cultivator without falling behind. Logically, they shouldn’t have had an accident. Perhaps they were killed before they could regroup,"

Wang Yue analyzed.

The Blood Flame Sect has a Combined Attack Technique. When the five of them join forces, they can unleash their greatest power. A single person’s strength is weaker, making them more susceptible to being defeated individually.

"That must be it."

Ning Sheng deeply agreed.

"However, the disciple guarding the Life-Bound Lamps reported that the lamps of Master Nephew Wu and the other three were extinguished almost simultaneously. This indicates that they were killed at almost the same moment,"

Liu Hong said with a somber face.

"Perhaps they encountered a formidable enemy, and no one else came across them. It’s difficult to investigate,"

Ning Sheng frowned as he spoke.

"No matter what, we must send someone to investigate the cause of their deaths."

Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

Chen Qian and the other four were not like ordinary Divinity Transformation disciples. They practiced a Combined Attack Technique and were key cultivation prospects of the Blood Flame Sect. Their loss in the secret realm was a severe blow.

"Leave this matter to Master Nephew Wu,"

Ning Sheng deeply agreed again.

After some idle chat, they each went back to their respective dwellings.

······

At Qianling Sect, in the Grandmaster Hall.

Mo Bingbing and Li Dong stood within the hall, their expressions grave.

Shen Long stood by the side, looking tense.

"Is the Soul Extinguishing Mirror not in Feathered Wing Hall?"

Mo Bingbing asked with a frown.

"It’s not there. Feathered Wing True Monarch went to the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb to search for treasures and has not returned,"

Shen Long reported truthfully.

The reinforcements from Qianling Sect arrived quickly, and Shen Long followed Li Dong back to Qianling Sect.

"The Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb!"

Mo Bingbing’s eyebrows knitted as she remembered something and said, "Junior Brother Shen, you may go back and rest. Do not spread the word about the situation in Feathered Wing Hall."

"Yes, Master Aunt Mo,"

Shen Long agreed and withdrew.

"Senior Sister Mo, do you really trust Junior Brother Shen that much? The Soul Extinguishing Mirror is a treasure related to the Divine Soul. It wouldn’t be excessive to question him with the Heart Testing Mirror,"

Li Dong expressed his doubts.

He was worried that Shen Long had concealed the existence of the valuable Soul Extinguishing Mirror. When Shen Long handed over the Soul Extinguishing Mirror, the Qianling Sect would provide a reward.

With a flip of her right hand, Mo Bingbing produced a round pearl that constantly emitted white light and said, "This Heart Testing Bead can also detect lies. Junior Brother Shen did not lie; Feathered Wing Hall does not have a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, nor does it have the Soul Extinguishing Mirror, just the remains of the clone of Feathered Wing True Monarch. He didn’t lie, and that is enough."

After all, Shen Long is a direct disciple of Yuling True Monarch, of pure lineage; Mo Bingbing wouldn’t go too far.

"Senior Sister Mo really values Junior Brother Shen! Using the Heart Testing Bead so discreetly,"

Realizing this, Li Dong said with a smile.

"Master Nephew Liu also reported that the second secret chamber contains either a Spirit Fruit Tree or Spirit Wood. Junior Brother Shen secured a Secret Realm for our Qianling Sect, achieving a great feat. That Spirit Fruit Tree or Spirit Wood belongs to him; we don’t need to dig too deep. Without him, other sects like the Blood Flame Sect might have taken the Secret Realm,"

Mo Bingbing explained.

Li Dong nodded and said, "It’s only natural that Chen Qian and his group were no match for him, since the kid has a Mutated Fifth-Order Flood Dragon."

"Given Junior Brother Shen’s potential, Master will certainly focus on cultivating him; he will be the second disciple from the Spirit Control Sect to ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot,"

Mo Bingbing said with profound meaning.

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister Mo, I won’t covet Junior Brother Shen’s Mutated Flood Dragon. I merely can’t help but be wistful. If I had a Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill, perhaps my Wind Flood Dragon might undergo a mutation as well,"

Li Dong said longingly.

"Junior Brother Shen being able to possess a Mutated Flood Dragon is his good fortune. It’s not easy to induce a mutation in a Sixth-Order Wind Flood Dragon. Only a top-grade Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill might trigger such a mutation. If you can obtain the seeds of a Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus that’s been growing for twenty thousand years, you could ask Senior Sister Qin to help you refine a Seven-Leaf Moon Lotus Pill,"

Mo Bingbing spoke slowly.

"I wish! It’s not easy to get the seeds of a twenty thousand-year-old Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus. The Jade Lotus needs to grow in Qixia True Water; otherwise, it’s difficult for it to thrive for that long. Qixia True Water is Sixth-Order Spirit Water, which might only form once every tens of thousands of years,"

Li Dong said with a bitter smile.

After chatting for a while, Li Dong took his leave.

Mo Bingbing took out a Law Disk that flickered with white light, imprinted a spell into it, and instructed, "Tianxue, pass a message to Junior Brother Shen for me. Tell him not to wander around and to focus on his cultivation."

"Yes, Master,"

The voice of Li Tianxue responded.

Mo Bingbing put away the Law Disk with a thoughtful look on her face, and murmured to herself, "I really have no idea where Junior Brother Shen acquired a Mutated Fifth-Order Flood Dragon."

Golden Roc Peak, Practice Room.

Shen Long was seated on a red cushion, holding a Messaging Plate through which red light flowed continuously.

"I understand, Senior Sister Li. Thank you for Master Aunt Mo’s concern; I will focus on my cultivation,"

Shen Long replied.

"That’s great. You go on with your business, Junior Brother Shen. I won’t disturb you anymore,"

Li Tianxue said, ending the contact.

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate, his face showing a pensive expression.

He had been prepared to hand over the Heavenly Dragon Fruit Tree, but Mo Bingbing only questioned him about the Soul Extinguishing Mirror and the top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures. Shen Long had told the truth, and Mo Bingbing didn’t probe further, which he found strange.

"Could it be because I’m from Spirit Control Sect?"

Shen Long wondered.

There are many disciples of Yuling True Monarch, and Shen Long is certainly of pure lineage, and even shares the same hometown with Yuling True Monarch.

He didn’t think too much about it; if necessary, he would hand over the Heavenly Dragon Fruit Tree. This foray into the Secret Realm had brought him quite a haul: dozens of Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, over three hundred million Spirit Stones, as well as a stash of materials for alchemy and artifact refining.

His most valuable acquisitions were the Heavenly Dragon Fruit Tree, Blood Puppet Wood, Golden Soul Fruit Tree, Six-Petal Gold Soul Lotus, seeds of the Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus, Spirit-Enhancing Pearl, seven pieces of top-grade Spirit Stone, and he had already transplanted the medicinal herbs and Spirit Fruit Trees into the Myriad Beasts Tower.

Shen Long turned over his right hand, producing a beautifully crafted red jade box. Upon opening it, it revealed a lotus seed.

A twenty thousand-year-old Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus seed, with a chance to induce mutation in Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects upon consumption.
