Chapter 818: 727 Ghost Tribe

The sky had darkened, the marketplace was brightly lit, and a sparsely populated street lay in a residential area.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu stood at the entrance of a three-story green pavilion, above which hung a plaque inscribed with the golden characters for "Qingfeng Pavilion."

They had rented the pavilion and temporarily settled there.

Chu Buyu took out a square green token, which bore the characters "Qingfeng" on its front.

She used the token to disable the restriction and pushed open the door. Shen Long and Chu Buyu stepped inside.

"The Qianqing Legal Assembly is truly a grand gathering of the Human Clan on the Thunder Continent. Just arriving at the marketplace, we have already acquired two Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearls,"

Chu Buyu remarked with a smile.

Yao Fugui had traded one Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl to Shen Long, and during their leisurely stroll, Shen Long and Chu Buyu traded a Six-Petal Gold Soul Pill for another Sixth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl with a Void Refinement Cultivator.

Shen Long had procured two thousand-year-old Six-Petal Gold Soul Lotuses and one thousand-year-old Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus, as well as a Sixth Rank Wood Demon Crystal Core.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I hope we can manage to buy some Miracle Elixir for advancing to the Body Integration Realm."

They each entered a secret chamber and began meditating to regulate their breathing.

...

Nine Elements Garden, the courtyard rented by the True Spirit Noble Family, Jiang Family, which also served as their base.

Two men and a woman sat around a green stone table, conversing.

"Fairy Yulian! An Eighth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl."

A plump woman in a golden dress frowned and said, looking towards a muscular golden-robed youth, "Tianshuo, do you have any news on this?"

"None. I heard that the Qianqing Sect also sent people to the Lower Realm to search for Fairy Yulian’s doppelganger. Whether they found her or not, I am not sure. The Realm of the Spiritual Pivot has over ten thousand subsidiary realms; who knows where Fairy Yulian’s doppelganger is hiding? It’s like finding a needle in a haystack."

Jiang Tianshuo said truthfully, then turned to a tall, lanky youth in a blue shirt and said with a smile, "Tianbai, you’ve ascended into the middle stage of Unity. Congratulations!"

"I just broke through recently too, following Ancestor Yihong to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot for the Qianqing Legal Assembly."

The green-robed youth replied with a broad smile.

Jiang Yihong took out a shimmering golden Law Disk, input a spell, and a respectful male voice sounded, "Ancestor Yihong, Master Profound Mystery has arrived at the Qianqing Marketplace from the Green Lotus Continent."

"I see."

Jiang Yihong put away the Law Disk.

"With Master Profound Mystery here, this Qianqing Legal Assembly should be even livelier than the last,"

Jiang Tianbai said with a smile, a look of anticipation on his face.

"I hope to get hold of some good stuff!"

Jiang Yihong remarked.

...

Qinglian Garden, the base for the cultivators of the Qinglian Commerce Alliance.

A red-faced elder in a purple robe sat within a green stone pavilion while a tall, skinny man in a blue shirt reported to him.

"Master Profound Mystery is here too? It’s been many years since we last met; I wonder if he could help with a divination."

The purple-robed elder spoke.

Song Cheng, latter stage of Unity.

"He’s now headed to the Qianqing Garden, probably invited by a predecessor from the Qianqing Sect,"

the blue-shirted man reported.

"Go to the entrance of Qianqing Garden and wait. If he comes out, invite him over. It would be good for old friends to meet,"

Song Cheng instructed.

"Yes, Elder Song."

The blue-shirted man confidently agreed, accepting the command and leaving.

...

Seven days had elapsed; Shen Long and Chu Buyu stood at the entrance of Nine Elements Garden.

During these days, they had acquired or bought quite a few cultivation resources.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, you arrive quite early!"

A familiar male voice called out.

Following the source of the voice, Shen Long and Chu Buyu saw Shangguan Zilong approaching with two young men, identical in facial features.

"I am Shen Long from the Qianling Sect, and I have met both of you fellow Taoists."

Shen Long clasped his fists and said.

"I am Chu Buyu."

Chu Buyu gave a curtsy.

"Tianquan Realm’s Zhenhai Sect’s Wang Long (Wang Hu), pleased to meet Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu."

The two youths introduced themselves.

"Tianquan Realm’s Zhenhai Sect!"

A flash of surprise crossed the eyes of Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

They had heard of the Zhenhai Sect from the Tianquan Realm, a superpower on par with the True Spirit Noble Family of the Jiang Family, boasting no less than ten Mahayana Cultivators and an abundance of experts.

"Let’s go inside and talk! We shouldn’t keep Taoist Jiang and the others waiting."

Shangguan Zilong suggested.

The group of five walked into the Nine Elements Garden, where a green-robed attendant led them to a secluded courtyard with a green nine-cornered Stone Pavilion.

Inside, over twenty Void Refinement Cultivators sat chatting and sipping tea.

"These two must be Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu, right! I am Jiang Zilei."

A tall, yellow-robed youth introduced himself.

"I am Zhang De from the Qianqing Sect. I heard that Taoist Friend Shen’s Spirit Beasts can form a Spirit Beast Battle Array, which is a marvel to behold."

A medium-statured youth in a white shirt spoke up.

The other Void Refinement Cultivators introduced themselves one by one, and Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and the others also introduced themselves.

Jiang Zilei invited Shen Long and the other four to sit down and join the tea and chat.

"Taoist Jiang, didn’t you say that the Ghost Tribe Cultivators would also be attending the gathering?"

Shangguan Zilong asked curiously.

"They are on their way..."

Jiang Zilei had not finished speaking when a somewhat hoarse male voice interrupted, "Taoist Shangguan seems very interested in our Ghost Tribe!"

As the voice trailed off, a blast of cold wind swept through, and a tall young man in black and a strikingly beautiful woman in a golden gown appeared in the courtyard.

Their bodies were larger than those of Human Cultivators, their eyes were dark green, and they emitted terrifying fluctuations of Yin Qi.

The Ghost Tribe!

"I am Yin Xiao, and this is my wife Xuan Lin; pleased to meet all the Taoist friends."

The young man in black introduced them.

Shen Long had seen Ghost Tribe Cultivators in the Netherworld before, but the Ghost Tribe in the Netherworld was not powerful. However, the Ghost Tribe in the Yaoguang Realm was a superpower, with over ten Mahayana Cultivators, possessing exceptional strength.

"I have some matters I wish to consult with you."

Shangguan Zilong explained.

Yin Xiao and Xuan Lin nodded and sat down.

Jiang Zilei, Jiang Zishan, and the others started chatting casually, and soon the conversation shifted to Fairy Yulian.

"I heard that Fairy Yulian obtained an Eight-Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl, which then led to her being hunted by the Five Lights Sect’s Unity Cultivators."

Shen Long said with curiosity.

"Seven Unity Realm Cultivators from the Five Lights Clan hunted Fairy Yulian. That much is true, but whether it was for the Eight-Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl, that’s unclear."

Zhang De explained.

"I heard that Fairy Yulian had something even more precious than the Eight-Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl on her, which was the real reason she was hunted."

Shangguan Zilong stated.

"So many years have passed, I wonder if any power managed to find Fairy Yulian’s incarnation."

Chu Buyu said with a face full of curiosity.

"Who knows, if I were in the upper echelons of a major power and obtained something from Fairy Yulian’s incarnation, I wouldn’t tell others about it either."

Shangguan Zilong analyzed.

Yin Xiao looked at Jiang Zilei curiously and asked, "Taoist Jiang, I heard that a Remnants of True Spirits was found in the Kaiyang Realm?"

"Remnants of True Spirits?"

All the Void Refinement Cultivators present showed a stunned expression.
