Upon hearing this, Shen Long and several other Soul Transformation Cultivators looked toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled lightly and said, "Little sister has learned a bit from Master, and has some understanding."

"A great mentor produces outstanding disciples. Senior Song excels in divination, and Fairy Chen must be hardly inferior."

Li Changqing said with a smile.

"Indeed! I’ve heard that Senior Song was not well-known at first, but after several accurate divinations, his fame began to spread."

Wang Yulong deeply agreed.

"Given that Fairy Chen has been studying the art of divination under Senior Song, given time, she will surely surpass Senior Song."

"Yes! Being accepted as a disciple by Senior Song means that Fairy Chen must possess extraordinary talents."

"If we could get Fairy Chen to divinate for us, that would be striking it big."

The Soul Transformation Cultivators spoke one after another, their words nothing but flattering pleasantries.

Shen Long was not surprised. Diviners were a very unique profession, and high-level diviners could be even more popular than alchemists who produce top-quality elixirs.

Take a fifth-level alchemist for example, no matter how advanced their alchemy is, they can only produce fifth-level elixirs. A Soul Transformation Cultivator diviner is different—by divining opportunities for others, if it’s a great opportunity, the other party could very likely advance into the Refinement Void Phase, or even obtain a precious treasure.

"My fellow Taoist friends flatter me too much. I’ve only learned a few tricks."

Chen Yu replied modestly, having long grown tired of such talk.

The crowd started chatting idly, and Shen Long discussed the art of alchemy with other alchemists.

None of the present fifth-level alchemists were capable of producing top-quality elixirs, even with fifth-level Spirit Flames.

"If we had a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure level alchemy furnace, perhaps we could produce top-quality elixirs."

A plump woman in a white dress spoke with a tone of regret.

"Sister Yunxiang, you jest. By that logic, a sixth-level alchemist with a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure level alchemy furnace could produce top-quality elixirs," said a beautiful young girl in a red dress.

"Indeed! Madam Li, even for a sixth-level alchemist, crafting a top-quality elixir is not easy," a tall and thin young man in a green robe said in agreement.

"Taoist Friend Shen, does your Qianling Sect have any Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, or Spirit Insects that assist in alchemy?" Li Yunxiang asked curiously.

"We do. If Madam Li could obtain offspring of the Three-legged Golden Crow, Vermilion Bird, or Fire Qilin, their assistance might make it possible to craft top-quality elixirs," Shen Long explained.

Within the Qianling Sect, a few alchemists’ Life-Bound Spirit Beasts or Life-Bound Spirit Birds had powerful bloodlines. The demon flames they exhaled were formidable and could assist in alchemy. Fifth-level alchemists had not been able to produce top-quality elixirs, and Qianling Sect had yet to see such an outstanding alchemist.

"Taoist Friend Shen jests. The Three-legged Golden Crow, Vermilion Bird, and Fire Qilin are True Spirits; their offspring would not fall into our hands. Two thousand years ago, somebody brought out a Spirit Beast Egg from the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, which was said to be a descendant of the Vermilion Bird. Unity Cultivators made their move, and in the end, the egg ended up in the hands of the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Big Dipper Pavilion," Li Yunxiang said.

"Indeed! So many years have passed, and we don’t know to what realm it has grown. If the Big Dipper Pavilion could raise a True Spirit, our Human Clan’s strength would be even greater," said a tall and thin young man in a green robe with a look of longing.

"Fairy Chen jests. True Spirits are Monster Beasts of the Mahayana Realm. Without a Mahayana Cultivator in the Big Dipper Pavilion, how could they possibly raise a Mahayana Realm Spirit Bird," Li Yunxiang said with a shake of her head.

"Indeed! Brother Qinglin, the higher the rank of Spirit Beasts, Spirit Birds, and Spirit Insects, the harder it is to improve the Purity of Bloodline. I’ve heard that many seventh-rank Monster Beasts have a bloodline purity of only five," a medium-built young man in a yellow shirt said.

"Yes! I guess the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Big Dipper Pavilion was drawn to the reputation of the Vermilion Bird. The divine skills of a descendant of the Vermilion Bird must be much stronger than those of ordinary Spirit Birds," Shen Long said.

Chen Qinglin nodded, "Indeed! It’s already difficult for many Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds to improve their Purity of Bloodline beyond five, and reaching seven is not easy, let alone reaching nine and then cultivating to the Mahayana Realm."

"True Spirits are out of the question. Having a powerful fifth-rank Spirit Beast or Spirit Bird would be great," Chen Yu said.

"Is Fairy Chen also interested in Insect Repelling and Controlling Beast Taming?"

Wang Yulong asked in surprise.

"Having more helpers is a good thing, but my Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds haven’t mutated. Taoist Friend Wang, Taoist Friend Shen, do you have any way to make my Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds mutate?"

Chen Yu’s face was filled with anticipation.

"If they are Fifth-Order Spirit Beasts or Spirit Birds, it’s very difficult to make them mutate. Maybe with a Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill, there might be a chance."

Wang Yulong spoke.

"Taoist Friend Wang must be joking. The Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill is a Sixth-Order Elixir, which even Void Refining Cultivators find hard to obtain, let alone myself."

Chen Yu said with a wry smile.

After chit-chatting for more than three hours, Chen Qinglin suggested an exchange of Cultivation Resources, and nobody had objections.

As the host, Zhao Yuqian was the first to put forth items for exchange. She took out dozens of items, among which were more than ten inferior Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, along with Fifth-Order Puppet Beasts.

Shen Long glanced over them without much interest.

"Trading for Artifact Refining materials, or anything else of equivalent value."

Zhao Yuqian said.

Shen Long didn’t speak up, while multiple Soul Transformation Cultivators passed messages to Zhao Yuqian, presenting various items for her inspection.

The Cultivators took turns putting forth items for exchange, such as Fifth-Order Elixirs, Spiritual Medicines, ores, Demon Cores, Spirit Wood, Heaven and Earth Spirit Water, and so on.

Shen Long traded a bottle of Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Pills for a gourd of Five-Colored True Water. The Five-Colored True Water, a Fifth-Order Spirit Water containing potent poison, is usually used for cultivating detoxifying Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruit trees.

Half an hour later, Chen Yu stood up and took out dozens of items, among them were two water-blue giant eggs.

"Fairy Chen, what are these Spirit Beast Eggs?"

Wang Yulong asked.

"These are the Spirit Beast Eggs of the Sea-Stepping Turtle, obtained from the Thunder Continent. This beast possesses the Xuanwu Bloodline. Of course, the bloodline is very diluted. If reared properly, there is hope for it to evolve towards Xuanwu. I’m exchanging them for equally valued materials."

Chen Yu explained.

Zhao Yuqian and the others were not interested unless it was a descendant of Xuanwu, which would be a different matter.

"Fairy Chen, I’ll trade you two Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Pills for these two eggs, how about that?"

Shen Long sent a private message to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu agreed. She was very clear that the Sea-Stepping Turtle evolving towards Xuanwu was highly unlikely with almost zero chance. It was already quite good that this beast’s Purity of Bloodline could reach five.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and a golden jade box shot out, flying towards Chen Yu.

Catching the golden jade box, Chen Yu opened it, glanced inside, nodded, and with a flick of her sleeve, the two Spirit Beast Eggs flew towards Shen Long.

Shen Long caught the Spirit Beast Eggs and took out the Demon-Identifying Mirror to examine them, confirming the presence of Xuanwu bloodline, albeit very diluted.

He didn’t make much of it since he had plenty of Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Pills on hand.

Most of the items Chen Yu brought were exchanged. It was Shen Long’s turn, who took out dozens of items, mainly Elixirs, including the Enlightening Pill.

"I’m trading for the Essence Blood of a Fifth-Order Demon Ape with the Mountain Giant Ape bloodline, but items of equivalent value are also acceptable."

Shen Long declared.

"Taoist Friend Shen, is that porcelain bottle filled with Enlightening Pills?"

Chen Yu inquired, focusing on a cyan porcelain bottle with a red label clearly marking ’Enlightening Pill’ in large characters.

"Indeed, there are only five."

Shen Long nodded.

Upon hearing this, many Soul Transformation Cultivators’ gazes turned fervent. Their Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds were already at the Fifth-Order, but with a Purity of Bloodline of only four. Consuming an Enlightening Pill would allow them to speak.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I’ll trade you a clump of Fifth-Order Spirit Flame for five Enlightening Pills, how about that?"

Li Yunxiang sent a message.

Several Soul Transformation Cultivators messaged Shen Long, all wanting to secure an Enlightening Pill.
