Chapter 696: 605 Exchange Resources_1

"Divine Sense Attack, this mutated divine power is quite impressive!"

Shangguan Ziyu praised.

Shen Long smiled faintly and said, "The divine powers of the Wind Thunder Centipede are also strong. I wonder if Madam Shangguan has any Wind Thunder Centipedes for sale? I would like to purchase a few from you."

"These are some Wind Thunder Centipede eggs. Taoist Friend Shen, take them to hatch! I have a small request—let my Fire Thunder Scorpion mate with your Iron Tail Scorpion, how about it?"

Shangguan Ziyu took out a beautifully crafted green jade box and handed it to Shen Long.

With a flick of her wrist, a crimson giant scorpion flew out, with huge pincers and crimson eyes.

Shen Long nodded, allowing the Iron Tail Scorpion to mate with the Fire Thunder Scorpion—in this pairing, the Iron Tail Scorpion was the aggressor.

The mating ended quickly, and as for whether the offspring of the Fire Thunder Scorpion could inherit the Iron Tail Scorpion’s divine power, that was uncertain.

Ni Tianhe led Shen Long and the others away from the mountain and river painting, engaging in idle chat inside the Stone Pavilion.

Ni Tianhe took out a law disk that shimmered with blue light and input a spell, looking somewhat surprised. He smiled and said, "Cultivators from the Divine Weapon Sect have also come. Qingqing, go and bring them here."

"Yes, Ancestor Tianhe."

Ni Qingqing complied and got up to leave.

It wasn’t long before Ni Qingqing returned with three men and two women. Chu Buyu and Song Xin were also among them.

Shen Long was somewhat surprised to see Chu Buyu.

"My name is Wang Lian. I greet all the fellow Taoist friends," said a red-robed young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, bowing with his fists, his voice resounding.

Chu Buyu and the four others reported their names in turn, and Shen Long and the others also introduced themselves, making acquaintances.

Ni Tianhe invited them to sit down and poured tea for them, smiling as he said, "Taoist Friend Wang, you’ve arrived a step late and missed the Beast Battle."

"Beast Battle?"

Wang Lian was slightly startled.

Ni Qingqing briefly explained the events that had just transpired, and Wang Lian suddenly understood.

"We’re not interested in Beast Battles. If we’re going to compare, let’s compare treasures," Wang Lian said with pride.

"Speaking of comparing treasures, I’m afraid there are not many among us who could compete with Taoist Friend Wang. I’ve heard that Taoist Friend Wang possesses a lower-ranked Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that specializes in attacking the Divine Soul. With this treasure, he has slain many Divinity Transformation Stage beings of different races."

As Ni Tianhe finished speaking, his face was filled with admiration.

"A Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure of the Divine Soul class!"

The faces of Shen Long and several other Divinity Transformation Cultivators simultaneously showed expressions of surprise; a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that harms the Divine Soul is very precious.

"I chanced upon some Heavenly Soul Jade, and only then could I refine a lower-ranked Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that specializes in injuring the Divine Soul," said Wang Shuo humbly, yet with a hint of pride on his face.

In the entire Divine Weapon Sect, there were few Divinity Transformation Cultivators who owned a lower-ranked Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that could harm the Divine Soul, and Wang Lian was one of them.

"Heavenly Soul Jade is very rare. It’s said that it usually forms in places with heavy Yin Qi. Taoist Friend Wang, you must have had quite the fortune!"

Li Xing commented with envy.

"It’s a pity that there wasn’t much Heavenly Soul Jade; otherwise, I would have refined a full set of lower-ranked Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures."

Wang Lian spoke with a tone of regret.

"Taoist Friend Wang, if you had a full set of lower-ranked Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures that specialize in harming the Divine Soul, you would have few equals among cultivators of the same realm, and you could even injure Void Refining Cultivators," said Shangguan Zilong with a smile.

"Taoist Friend Shangguan jests. It’s not by relying on a set of treasures that one can bridge the gap between realms. The fact that I can run away from Void Refining Cultivators is already quite impressive," said Wang Lian with a wry smile.

The difference between Divinity Transformation and Void Refinement is a vast realm gap, one that cannot be bridged simply by treasures or spirit beasts.

"That depends on what kind of treasures we’re talking about. If they are superior or supreme Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, then it’s not impossible. We have such examples on the Thunder Continent," concluded the text.

Shangguan Zilong was not impressed.

"Even if a Soul Transformation Cultivator obtains a Supreme Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, limited by their mana, they cannot unleash much of its power, right?"

Li Xing stated.

"A Soul Transformation Cultivator indeed cannot exert the full power of a Supreme Spiritual Treasure. Even one-tenth of its power is something a Void Refining Cultivator would not dare to withstand,"

Shangguan Zilong said.

"Taoist Friend Shangguan, who did you say possesses the Supreme Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"

Shen Long asked with a curious face.

"Master Qingyang. It is said that he was blessed with the Body of Heavenly Fate and exceptionally good luck. During the Divinity Transformation Stage, he relied on a Supreme Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Qinglian Sword, to slay a Void Refining Cultivator and then disappeared. That happened thousands of years ago."

Shangguan Zilong explained.

"Wouldn’t the Void Refining Cultivator just avoid it? Does the Qinglian Sword have any special abilities?"

Chu Buyu curiously asked.

"A Void Refining Cultivator can avoid it, but Master Qingyang utilized a Secret Talisman for instantaneous movement, appearing near the Void Refining Cultivator and commanding the Qinglian Sword to eliminate them,"

Shangguan Zilong elaborated.

"Instantaneous movement! No wonder."

Chu Buyu had a sudden realization.

"A Body of Heavenly Fate, does that type of spiritual body really exist?"

Mo Qingwu asked, full of curiosity.

"Who knows? You’d have to ask Master Qingyang himself. Some cultivators are just extraordinarily lucky. The Red Flood Dragon True Monarch of the Green Lotus Continent is an example. It’s said that he entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb to search for treasures during the Void Refinement phase and by chance encountered a Fire Flood Dragon that had suffered severe injuries from the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations. He easily subdued it, and with the strength of the sixth-order Fire Flood Dragon, he slew many formidable opponents, later advancing to the Unity Realm and, as if blessed by the divine, became one of the ten great Loose Cultivators of the Human Clan on the Green Lotus Continent,"

Shangguan Zilong spoke slowly.

"If that Fire Flood Dragon advanced to the seventh order, the Red Flood Dragon True Monarch’s strength would be even greater,"

Ni Tianhe said enviously.

"It’s not that easy to advance to the seventh order. In the past hundred thousand years, there are fewer than five cases within the Human Clan of the Green Lotus Continent successfully nurturing seventh-order Flood Dragons. The Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations are a significant hurdle, not to mention the great difficulty Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds face in reaching the seventh order, but even for Void Refining Cultivators, advancing to the Body Integration Realm is more challenging."

Li Tianxue was dismissive.

After chatting casually for more than two hours, Li Xing suggested exchanging cultivation resources, and Ni Tianhe and others all agreed.

As the host, Ni Tianhe took the lead in trading. He took out over a hundred items, including supreme elixirs, fifth-order Puppet Beasts, Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, fifth-order Secret Talismans, and so on.

"Taoist Friend Ni, is that the seed of a Nine-Petal Blood Lotus?"

Shen Long pointed at a green jade box and asked, inside of which were placed several blood-colored lotus seeds.

"Correct, these are seeds from a twenty-thousand-year-old Nine-Petal Blood Lotus, which can be used to refine a clone, requiring a sufficiently powerful divine soul,"

Ni Tianhe said.

Shen Long exchanged an Enlightening Pill for a seed of the Nine-Petal Blood Lotus.

After his incarnation Shen Hai died in the Thousand Poison Cave, he planned to refine a clone—a clone being a much higher level and far more formidable than an incarnation.

The others successively took out materials to trade. There were many good items, but few caught Shen Long’s eye.

Half an hour later, Shangguan Zilong stood up, flicked his sleeve, and a sweep of rosy light passed over, depositing a large heap of items on the table, containing a significant amount of Thunder Attribute materials.

"Taoist Friend Shangguan, what’s inside the green gourd? Essence Blood of Monster Beasts? Or Spirit Water?"

Ni Qingqing asked, pointing at a green gourd.

"Inside, there is Qixia True Water. However, there isn’t much of it, so I’m looking to exchange it for materials of equivalent value,"

Shangguan Zilong said.

"What! Qixia True Water! This is a sixth-order Spirit Water, essential for cultivating a Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus. "

Li Xing exclaimed in surprise.
