Chapter 832: 741 Book a boat ticket

Shen Long did not yet feel confident enough to traverse the seas alone; it would be better to return with the Great Commerce Alliance.

"To my knowledge," Ye Yuntao said slowly, "in two years, the Liuyun Trade Alliance’s merchant ships will return to the Green Lotus Continent. However, Taoist Friend Shen should know that, generally speaking, the merchant ships do not allow Unity Cultivators on board to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"I am aware. Are the friends from the Liuyun Trade Alliance in Qingmei Marketplace?"

Shen Long asked politely.

Ye Yuntao nodded, "Madam Li is in Qingmei Marketplace. I’ll introduce you to her. You can discuss it with Madam Li yourself."

"Ok, I appreciate your help, Taoist Friend Ye."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude.

Ye Yuntao took out a blue-glowing Law Disk, input a spell, and said, "Madam Li, are you available? Taoist Friend Shen from Qianling Sect would like to discuss something with you."

"I’m available. I am familiar with all the Unity Cultivators from Qianling Sect. I’ve never heard of a Taoist Friend Shen before."

A woman’s voice filled with confusion responded.

"Taoist Friend Shen recently ascended to Unity Realm. He advanced to Unity Realm in Thunder Continent and is now in Qingmei Garden."

Ye Yuntao explained.

"I see, I’ll head over to Qingmei Garden now," the woman replied.

"Good."

Ye Yuntao put away the Law Disk and instructed Ye Qinglong, "Azure Dragon, go wait at the gate. As soon as Madam Li arrives, please invite her in immediately."

"Yes, Ancestor Yuntao."

Ye Qinglong responded and left to carry out his orders.

After some small talk, Shen Long asked, "Taoist Friend Ye, I would like to purchase some Cultivation Resources from your Ye Family. Do you have these materials?"

Shen Long took out a blue Jade Slip and handed it to Ye Yuntao.

Ye Yuntao scanned it with his Divine Sense and said, "We only have most of the materials. How much does Taoist Friend Shen need?"

"That’s ok! For the materials available, let’s go with twenty portions each!" Shen Long said.

Ye Yuntao nodded, took out a green Command Plate, and began gesturing.

Less than half an hour later, a voluptuous woman in a red dress walked in with Ye Qinglong following her.

"Senior Li!"

Chu Buyu immediately stood up upon seeing the woman in red.

"Madam Shen, you know Madam Li?" Ye Yuntao asked in surprise.

"Senior Li has visited the Divine Weapon Sect as a guest before; I have had the honor of meeting her," Chu Buyu explained.

"Divine Weapon Sect?"

Ye Yuntao looked puzzled.

"My wife was originally a Disciple of the Divine Weapon Sect. She left the sect after becoming my dual-cultivation partner," Shen Long explained. He looked toward the woman in red and said with a fist salute, "I am Shen Long from the Qianling Sect, and I have the honor of meeting Madam Li."

"I am Li Hong from the Liuyun Trade Alliance; I am pleased to meet Taoist Friend Shen," the woman in red replied with a curtsy and took a seat in the Stone Pavilion.

"Madam Li, when the convoy from your Liuyun Trade Alliance returns to the Green Lotus Continent, could you take us along?"

Shen Long asked politely.

"According to the rules of our Liuyun Trade Alliance, we cannot allow Unity Cultivators on the ship. There have been incidents in the past,"

Li Hong said, her expression indicating difficulty. Changing her tone and turning to Chu Buyu, she continued, "Taoist Friend Shen has contributed significantly in the fight against the Different Clan, and Madam Shen comes from the Divine Weapon Sect. I can make an exception this once."

Shen Long and Chu Buyu were both of clear and respectable backgrounds, naturally without issues. Of course, the most important factor was that Li Hong had not managed to collect any particularly valuable resources this time; otherwise, she would not have agreed to allow Shen Long on board.

"Thank you very much, Madam Li."

Shen Long expressed his thanks.

They started to chat idly, discussing the chase of Fairy Yulian by the Unity Cultivator from the Five Lights Clan.

"We’ve also heard about this matter. It’s said that Fairy Yulian obtained the Remnants of True Spirits, which is why she was hunted by the Unity Cultivator from the Five Lights Clan."

Chu Buyu said.

Shen Long spread false news, claiming that the Five Lights Clan pursued Fairy Yulian for an Eighth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl. As the news spread, multiple versions emerged, each more outrageous than the last. There were even rumors that Fairy Yulian had acquired a True Spirit Descendant.

"At first, it was said that Fairy Yulian had an Eighth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl, but later the rumors got more and more absurd. With truths and falsehoods intermixed, the real news might be among them, but we outsiders don’t know the truth. Probably only the parties involved do."

Li Hong analyzed.

"Isn’t that the case! More than a thousand years ago, it was rumored that the Unity Cultivator from the Five Lights Clan was after a Void Refinement Cultivator, who had a Sixth Rank Thunder Roc and fled all the way into the Fallen Immortal Ruins. It could well be that some force is targeting the Five Lights Clan. How could a Void Refinement Cultivator possibly escape from a Unity Cultivator?"

Ye Yuntao questioned.

"That’s not necessarily true. The Thunder Roc is known for its escape techniques. Even a Sixth Rank Thunder Roc’s escape speed is incomparable to that of ordinary Sixth Rank Spirit Birds."

Li Hong argued.

After chatting for half an hour, a tall golden-robed youth walked in.

"Give the item to Taoist Friend Shen."

Ye Yuntao instructed.

The golden-robed youth responded and handed a golden saving bracelet to Shen Long.

Shen Long swept it with his Divine Sense, nodded, and asked, "Taoist Friend Ye, how many Spirit Stones?"

"Ten billion Spirit Stones. You can forget about the small change."

Ye Yuntao said.

Chu Buyu took out a green saving bracelet and passed it to Ye Yuntao.

Ye Yuntao received the saving bracelet and nodded.

After chatting for another hour, Shen Long and Chu Buyu took their leave.

They visited several large shops and purchased a batch of Cultivation Resources.

Two hours later, they arrived at the entrance of a three-story green pavilion, with "Qingyue Pavilion" written on the signboard.

Chu Buyu took out a green token, deactivated the restriction, and pushed open the door to enter.

Shen Long went to a Practice Room, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived at the fourth layer’s Myriad Beasts Island.

He came to an Alchemy Room, flicked his sleeve, and the Qianyang Cauldron flew out, landing on the ground.

He sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion, opened his mouth, and the Qinglian True Flame flew out, falling under the Qianyang Cauldron, quickly raising the temperature of the room.

He took out a palm-sized green gourd, which contained the Essence Blood of a Seventh Rank Green Wind Tiger.

Shen Long took out the Alchemy Materials and began Alchemy.

He planned to Refine some White Tiger Pills to cultivate the Myriad Beasts True Scripture.

Under high heat, the Spiritual Medicine melted into a puddle of juice, mixing with the Green Wind Tiger’s Essence Blood, and gradually solidified.

...

In Qingmei Garden, Ye Yuntao sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, with Ye Yulan reporting to him.

"The last time they appeared was in the Qianqing Marketplace. After that, there was no news of them; we speculate that they might have bought Miracle Elixirs for assaulting the Body Integration Realm at the auction."

Ye Yulan said.

"Shen Long is powerful and can Refine Top Grade Elixirs, while Chu Buyu is skilled in Artifact Refining. Befriending them brings no harm."

Ye Yuntao instructed.

"Yes, Elder Yuntao."

Ye Yulan agreed and, as something came to mind, continued, "There is news that an Eighth Rank Flood Dragon has appeared in the Kaiyang Realm and has transformed into human form."

"An Eighth Rank Flood Dragon?"

Ye Yuntao exclaimed.

Ye Yulan nodded, "Yes, he claims to be Huang Long True Monarch, his true form being an Eighth Rank Earth Flood Dragon, proficient in earth-related Divine Skills."

"If there’s nothing else, you may go."

Ye Yuntao instructed.

Ye Yulan responded and turned to leave.
