Chapter 667: 576 Xu Yingying (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

"One Enlightenment Pill for your Heavenly Puppet Talisman, how about that?"

Shen Long said via telepathy, taking out a blue jade box and handing it to the lady in the white dress.

The lady in the white dress opened the box and looked inside. Her face lit up with joy, and she nodded in agreement.

Shen Long successfully exchanged for a Heavenly Puppet Talisman and continued to wander around.

"A Treasure-Seeking Mouse with the bloodline of a Swallowing Heaven Mouse? Can it be true?"

"This beast’s Purity of Bloodline has reached five, having ascended from The Lower Realm."

"What? Ascended from The Lower Realm."

...

Moved by a thought, Shen Long headed toward the source of the voices.

He arrived at a small stall where a man with a broad back and a large build in a red shirt was the vendor; on the stall was a huge golden cage with a large yellow rat inside.

The rat was bloodied and listless, with a silvery, shimmering talisman pasted on its body.

Around the stall, several Soul Transformation Cultivators gathered, their faces curious.

"Swallowing Heaven Mouse is a True Spirit, indeed. It really has the bloodline of a Swallowing Heaven Mouse!"

A plump man in yellow robes spoke up.

"If you don’t believe it, you can use the Demon-Identifying Mirror to check. I need an excellent elixir that heals Divine Soul injuries," the man in the red shirt said in a booming voice.

The man in yellow robes immediately took out the Demon-Identifying Mirror to check, and indeed, the yellow rat was of the Swallowing Heaven Mouse bloodline.

"To say it has the bloodline of the Swallowing Heaven Mouse, I wonder how many generations it’s been. The bloodline is diluted; it would be more accurate to call it a descendant of the Swallowing Heaven Mouse."

A Soul Transformation Cultivator commented.

"Humph, if it really were a direct descendant of the Swallowing Heaven Mouse, do you think I would take it out to exchange?"

The man in the red shirt snorted coldly, unapologetically rebuffing the comment.

"A top-grade elixir is no ordinary thing, let alone one that heals Divine Soul injuries. Even if I had one, I wouldn’t exchange it for an early fifth-tier Treasure-Seeking Mouse," the man in yellow robes said with furrowed brows.

The man in the red shirt couldn’t be bothered to respond and fell silent.

Shen Long’s gaze rested on the yellow rat. Such magical creatures were rare, and cultivating to the fifth tier in The Lower Realm was indeed not easy.

This Treasure-Seeking Mouse was only at the early stage of the fifth tier; he surmised it must have smuggled its way to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot and not landed on the Ascendant Platform, which was how the man in the red shirt captured it.

"Fellow cultivator, I will trade you one bottle of high-grade Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Pills for it, how’s that?"

Shen Long said via telepathy.

The man in the red shirt shook his head, declining the offer.

"A Treasure-Seeking Mouse with the bloodline of a Swallowing Heaven Mouse? That’s quite rare."

A sweet female voice sounded.

No sooner had the voice fallen than a slender girl in a golden dress approached.

The girl’s dress bore a wave pattern, the symbol of the Four Seas Sect. An intimidating Spirit Pressure emanated from her, indicating that she was a Void Refining Cultivator.

The cultivators made way for her, and the girl in the golden dress took out a beautifully crafted gold jade box and handed it to the man in the red shirt.

The man in the red shirt opened the box, and inside was a golden pill with twelve pill patterns on its surface.

His face filled with joy as he said, "This Treasure-Seeking Mouse now belongs to you, senior."

He opened the cage, and the golden-dressed girl summoned a gold bag with constant flowing light and took the mouse away before leaving the place.

"That’s Fairy Xu from the Four Seas Sect, Fairy Xu is a descendant of the Four Seas Sect’s Deputy Sect Master and is proficient in the art of alchemy."

Someone recognized the origins of the girl in the golden dress.

"A descendant of the Deputy Sect Master of the Four Seas Alliance!"

Shen Long was secretly astonished; he hadn’t expected the woman in question to be of such significant origin.

Shen Long continued to stroll around, and he noticed that many Soul Transformation Cultivators were keen to exchange for top-quality elixirs.

Over an hour later, he left the Azure Stone Plaza and arrived at a teahouse named Sea Listening Tower, where he requested a private room.

He took out a red Messaging Plate, inserted a spell into it, and began gesturing.

Before long, a green-robed attendant came in, carrying a steaming pot of Spiritual Tea and a plate of Blood-Colored Spirit Cakes, set the tea and cakes down, and left.

The pastry was blood-red in color, like frozen clots of blood.

The Blood Shark Cake, made from the Essence Blood of fifth-order Blood Shark Beasts and Purple Crystal Spirit Rice as the main ingredients, had the effect of bolstering one’s qi and blood.

Cooking is one of the hundred arts of cultivation, and in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, there are many high-ranking spiritual chefs who pursue the Dao through gastronomy.

Shen Long picked up a piece of Blood Shark Cake, took a bite, and it melted in his mouth, releasing a rich rice aroma that spread across his taste buds; before long, a warm current rose from his abdomen.

This warm current spread through his limbs and bones, making him feel a cozy warmth envelop his body, followed by a sensation of heat as though his blood was boiling.

Shen Long showed an expression of approval and popped the rest of the Blood Shark Cake into his mouth.

After a while, Shen Long’s skin turned blood red, and a fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

A yellow light radiated from his body, and he returned to normal.

He continued to eat the cakes and drink the Spiritual Tea.

After less than half an hour, Shen Hai pushed the door open and walked in, closing the door behind him.

"I sold those items in batches and bought a batch of alchemy materials, including two three-thousand-year-old Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Grass, and some ocean charts," he said.

Shen Hai took out a blue Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.

On his trip to the Secret Realm, Shen Long had killed quite a few Soul Transformation Cultivators and acquired many treasures, some of which were surplus to his requirements.

They had sold part of them in batches at the Divine Weapon Marketplace and then another portion at the Qinglian Marketplace.

"Three-thousand-year-old Golden Jade Soul-Nurturing Grass? Which Spirit Medicine Shop had this herb for sale?" Shen Long wondered aloud.

It was rare for Spirit Medicine Shops to sell spiritual medicine and fruits related to the Divine Soul, as they were not easy to cultivate.

"Green Butterfly Pavilion, run by the Lin Family of Qinglian Archipelago. Strictly speaking, I exchanged a fifth-order Blood Ray Beast’s inner core for it. The Lin Family is paying a high price for the inner cores of fifth-order Blood Ray Beasts," explained Shen Hai.

"The Lin Family from Qinglian Archipelago?" Shen Long was taken aback momentarily.

"The Lin Family is a subsidiary cultivation family of the Four Seas Sect with a lineage of more than a hundred thousand years. At their peak, they had Unity Cultivators, but after several catastrophes, all the Unity Cultivators fell, and currently, they have none," Shen Hai explained. As something came to mind, he added, "There’s some information in the Storage Bracelet, introducing the major forces and alien races of Qinglian Archipelago, past great figures, dangerous places, and major events, among other things."

Shen Long had an epiphany and nodded; with Shen Hai handling affairs, things were much easier for him.

Half an hour later, they left the Sea Listening Tower and came to a sparsely populated street, a residential zone with standalone pavilions and manor courtyards.

They arrived at the entrance of a three-story green pavilion, which bore a sign that read "Qinghu Pavilion".

This was the residence Shen Hai had rented. Shen Hai deactivated the ward, opened the door, and both he and Shen Long entered, shutting the door behind them.

Shen Long took out a Seven Stars Flat Peach and handed it to Shen Hai, telling him to eat it.

Shen Long went to a Practice Room, took out a blue Jade Slip, and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

...

Within an expansive manor, a sign bearing the words "Cloud Sea Garden" shimmered with flowing Spiritual Light.

A slender girl in a golden dress sat inside a green Stone Pavilion, with a Treasure-Seeking Mouse lying in front of her.

"You were able to speak after consuming an Enlightening Pill in an ancient cultivator’s cave in the Tianhong Realm?" the girl in the golden dress asked in surprise.

Xu Yingying, early-stage Void Refining.
