Chapter 674: 583 Water Lie Beast’s impact on the fifth stage_1

Upon returning to the Golden Bee Pavilion, Shen Long entered the Alchemy Room. With a flick of his sleeve, the Qianyang Cauldron flew out and landed on the floor.

He sat cross-legged on the red cushion and opened his mouth to exhale a bunch of azure flame—it was the Qinglian True Flame.

The Qinglian True Flame fell to the bottom of the Qianyang Cauldron, and the temperature in the room quickly rose.

Shen Long threw materials such as Purple Profound Jade Cleansing Grass into the Qianyang Cauldron and covered it with the lid.

After a while, a peculiar fragrance wafted out from within the cauldron.

...

In the Qinglian Marketplace, within the Cloud Sea Garden.

Xu Yingying and a tall, thin young man in a golden shirt sat around a cyan tea table, sipping tea and chatting idly.

"Master Nephew Chen and the others have searched through the Tianhong Realm and several adjacent realms, but they haven’t found any trace of Yang Xin. They did find a power that possesses an Enlightening Fruit Tree, it’s just that the fruits are not yet ripe."

The young man in the golden shirt said.

Xu Xu, early stage of Refinement Void Phase.

"It seems a major power has sent someone to The Lower Realm, taking the fruit cores of the Enlightening Fruit Tree down."

Xu Yingying analyzed.

"That should be the case. So many years have passed, if Yang Xin were still alive, he would have already advanced to the Refinement Void Phase by now and wouldn’t be unknown. Our spies in the Gold Cordyceps Clan haven’t found any trace of Yang Xin, so he probably hasn’t gone to their territory,"

Xu Xu speculated.

"Maybe! For the inheritance of Green Dragon True Monarch, he didn’t hesitate to harm his fellow disciples. As long as he dares show his face, he will be killed without mercy,"

Xu Yingying said coldly.

"The divine skills of Green Dragon True Monarch are very strong, and he had the cultivation of the late Refinement Void Phase. Even Master Uncle Wang was optimistic about him, believing that it was very likely he would advance into the Unity Realm. Who would have thought that he would meet his end in such a way? Yang Xin and several disciples discovered the Zouhua Cave of Green Dragon True Monarch’s incarnation. Suddenly, Yang Xin turned on his fellow disciples, taking all the items. If it hadn’t been for Master Nephew Li fighting his way out, we wouldn’t even have known that Yang Xin had done such a thing,"

Xu Xu said with a frown.

"His Life-Bound Lamp has been extinguished, so he’s definitely met his end. We just don’t know where he died. At first, I was worried that he had been silenced by the Gold Cordyceps Clan, but we haven’t found any Gold Cordyceps Clan cultivators using the treasures of Green Dragon True Monarch, nor have they cultivated his primary techniques, which is strange,"

Xu Yingying said, puzzled.

"Hard to say. Perhaps all the treasures of Green Dragon True Monarch were destroyed, and it’s unclear who caused his demise. Maybe Yang Xin knows!"

Xu Xu guessed.

...

In the Green Butterfly Marketplace, within a tranquil courtyard with blue tiles, there was a three-story blue tower and a blue Stone Pavilion.

Qin Yang and Liu Bing sat inside the Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"I went to the main marketplace to inquire, and there are no Purple Profound Jade Clear Pills available at the moment. This type of cold poison is quite rare; Sister Xu and the others just have really bad luck,"

Liu Bing said with a furrowed brow.

"I hope Taoist Friend Qian can refine the Purple Profound Jade Clear Pill quickly. If there’s much delay, Madam Xu won’t make it,"

Qin Yang sighed, clearly worried.

He took out a Messaging Conch that was flashing with spiritual light, imbued a spell into it, and Shen Long’s voice arose, "Taoist Friend Qin, I have refined the elixir. It’s right outside the door of where Madam Xu is staying."

"That’s fantastic, Taoist Friend Qian. Wait just a moment, I will be right out,"

Qin Yang replied, his face lighting up with joy.

Liu Bing opened the courtyard door and invited Shen Long, who stood at the door, inside.

"Taoist Friend Qian, you’ve refined the Purple Profound Jade Clear Pill so quickly!"

Qin Yang was somewhat surprised. It had only been three days, and even with a fifth-tier Spirit Flame, refining a batch of fifth-tier pills wouldn’t be this fast, right?

"I used a formation to shorten the alchemy time. Take me to see Madam Xu,"

Shen Long said.

The trip to the Nine Flames Sect led him to another fifth-order Spirit Flame. After refining the Qinglian True Flame, his efficiency in alchemy improved greatly.

Taoist Friend Qin responded, leading Shen Long toward the blue pavilion and into a secret chamber.

Inside was a blue jade bed, on which lay a voluptuous woman in a blue dress, her eyes tightly shut.

The woman’s breath was feeble, and her clothes had quite a few brown bloodstains. Upon closer inspection, her skin appeared pale white, and her breath was listless.

A jade pendant with ceaselessly flowing red light was on her chest, quite extraordinary in appearance.

"She has been enduring for such a long time! Is it because of this treasure?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"Exactly, this Qianyang Pendant can slow the spread of the cold poison. Otherwise, Madam Xu would have been long dead. She had bodysnatched once in her earlier years. If her physical body is destroyed again, she will perish along with her cultivation," Taoist Friend Qin explained.

Shen Long nodded, took out a finely-crafted azure jade box, and opened it to reveal six violet-green elixirs, each with nine pill patterns on their surface.

He picked up an elixir between two fingers and placed it into the mouth of the woman in the blue dress.

After a while, the woman’s face suddenly flushed red, and she woke up abruptly, spouting a mouthful of black blood onto the ground, emitting a foul smell.

She passed out once more, her complexion growing even paler.

"Taoist Friend Qian, Madam Xu has expelled the poison, but why is she still unconscious?"

Taoist Friend Qin asked anxiously.

"The poison in her runs deep; a single top-grade Purple Profound Jade Clear Pill isn’t enough to eradicate the poison completely. Administer one to her every month. After all six Purple Profound Jade Clear Pills are used, the poison should be completely cleared," explained Shen Long, passing the jade box to Taoist Friend Qin.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen. The condition I agreed to remains unchanged," Taoist Friend Qin said gratefully.

"It’s merely a trivial effort. There are matters I must deal with, so I’ll take my leave now. I will stay in the marketplace for a while. If there is any abnormality with Madam Xu, contact me anytime," Shen Long said, taking his leave.

He hurried away from the marketplace, transforming into a streak of escape light that broke through the air, shooting toward the high skies.

An hour later, Shen Long appeared above an uninhabited island spanning a hundred miles.

He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes shone brightly with golden light.

"Master, there is no one on the island, and no one within a thousand miles," the Hundred Eyes Cicada spoke.

Shen Long nodded and descended on the island with the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

With a flick of his sleeve, nine blue-lit Formation Flags flew out. With a pinch of a spell, the nine blue Formation Flags emitted intense light and sank into the ground.

He took out an Array Plate that was continuously swirling with blue light, sending several spells into it. Masses of blue mist surged from the ground, enveloping the entire island.

Shen Long entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, bringing out the Water Lie Beast. It was about to make a breakthrough to the fifth order.

The Water Lie Beast’s body released a unique fragrance, akin to sandalwood, undergoing Body Incense Transformation, a hurdle the Spirit Beast must overcome to reach the fifth order.

After a short while, the Water Lie Beast let out a loud roar, and a deafening thunderclap echoed from above. The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.

A massive thundercloud formed above the island, tumultuously rolling and teeming with countless Thunder Snakes.

Shen Long and the Hundred Eyes Cicada flew to a distance, careful not to disturb the Water Lie Beast.

With a thunderous boom, a thick silver lightning bolt streaked down, aiming straight for the Water Lie Beast.

A blue light radiated from the Water Lie Beast’s body, and a water-blue barrier sprang up close to its skin, shielding its entire form.

The silver lightning struck the blue barrier, immediately exploding into a huge burst of silver thunderous light that skyrocketed, engulfing the Water Lie Beast’s figure.

Before the thunder light dispersed, the second bout of Heavenly Tribulation struck down, followed swiftly by the third, the fourth...
