Chapter 837: 746 Unity Celebration

Qianling Sect, Golden Roc Garden.

Shen Long, Qin Wei, Master Profound Mystery, Ni Tianting, Li Hong, and other eight Unity Cultivators sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting casually.

"Taoist Friend Shen’s ascension to the Unity Realm has further strengthened your Qianling Sect,"

a woman in a red dress with a full figure remarked.

Crimson Flame Fairy, from the Nine Flames Sect.

"Yes! Within ten thousand years, Taoist Friend Qin, Taoist Friend He, and Taoist Friend Shen have successively ascended to the Unity Realm, which is truly enviable."

A fat old man in a green robe chuckled.

Li Yunshan, from the Li Family.

Both the Nine Flames Sect and the Li Family were allies of the Qianling Sect, and Shen Long naturally invited both factions to his Unity Celebration.

"That means the Qianling Sect now has six Unity Cultivators, nearly catching up to our Big Dipper Pavilion."

A handsome, robust man in a blue shirt spoke up, his voice booming.

Chen Xiao, from the Big Dipper Pavilion.

He led his team personally to attend Shen Long’s Unity Celebration, and Huo Tianxing also attended.

"The strength of a sect is measured by the combat power of its high-rank cultivators, not just the numbers. Taoist Friend Wu is already in the Late Stage of Unity, surpassing ten cultivators in the Early Stage of Unity."

A woman in a green dress, also full-figured, added.

Chen Biyun, from the Divine Weapon Sect.

Nevertheless, the Divine Weapon Sect was considered the maternal home of Chu Buyu, and when Shen Long ascended to the Unity Realm, he also sent them an invitation, which Chen Biyun personally accepted.

"Madam Shen is already in the Late Stage of Void Refinement; her ascension to the Unity Realm is just a matter of time."

Ni Tianting spoke warmly.

"With Taoist Friend Ni’s auspicious words, I hope my wife will ascend to the Unity Realm soon,"

Shen Long responded with a smile.

"Taoist Friend Shen, you should be able to refine seventh-grade elixirs by now, right?"

Li Yunshan asked curiously.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I can currently refine four types of seventh-grade elixirs. Are you also an alchemist, Taoist Friend Li?"

Qianling Sect had collected more than a dozen seventh-grade pill formulas, with the primary ingredients being at least thirty thousand years old, making them very difficult to gather.

Before Shen Long ascended to the Unity Realm, the Unity Cultivators of Qianling Sect had collected high-age Spiritual Medicines and had to ask a seventh-grade alchemist for help in alchemy, as their stock was limited. Currently, they could only assemble materials for four types of seventh-grade elixirs.

"I don’t understand alchemy, but I have collected some alchemy materials and would like to ask Taoist Friend Shen for help with refining."

Li Yunshan’s tone was sincere as he took out a Golden Jade Slip and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned it with his Divine Sense, nodded, and replied, "It’s a minor matter."

"Taoist Friend Shen, I would like to ask you to help refine a batch of elixirs as well."

Crimson Flame Fairy took out a Red Jade Slip and handed it to Shen Long.

After scanning it with his Divine Sense, Shen Long asked in confusion, "Fairy Ning, isn’t Taoist Friend Chen from your Nine Flames Sect a seventh-grade alchemist? Is he out somewhere?"

"Senior Brother Chen disappeared and died many years ago at the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb!"

Crimson Flame Fairy sighed.

The Nine Flames Sect had kept the news secret for over ten thousand years. A new Unity Cultivator had emerged, but unfortunately, he was not an alchemist.

"Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb indeed poses a grave danger; two of my good friends also died there."

Master Profound Mystery’s expression turned solemn.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb was a notorious hazardous site on the Green Lotus Continent, claiming the lives of countless Unity Cultivators.

"I’ll first help Taoist Friend Li refine the elixir, then assist Madam Ning!"

Shen Long said.

The Li Family and the Nine Flames Sect wield considerable influence. Shen Long planned to attract these forces’ Unity Cultivators with elixirs, persuading them to help gather resources.

"Thank you very much, Taoist Friend Shen. The compensation will certainly satisfy you."

The Crimson Flame Fairy expressed her gratitude.

After chatting idly for more than two hours, Shen Long suggested exchanging materials, with the other Unity Cultivators expressing their agreement.

Shen Long brought out dozens of items, including Seventh Stage elixirs, Golden Thunder Bamboo aged over forty thousand years, and Six Cleansing Bamboos aged over thirty thousand years, as well as Seventh Stage refining materials.

The Six Cleansing Bamboos inside the Myriad Beasts Tower had reached over thirty thousand years and could be exchanged with the Unity Cultivators without any issues. A higher age would be even better.

"Exchange for Spiritual Medicine, Seventh Stage Demon Cores."

Shen Long spoke up.

Master Profound Mystery, Ni Tianting, and others brought out their items for Shen Long to examine. Shen Long obtained some Spiritual Medicine aged over thirty thousand years, with the most precious being a Thunder Attribute Seventh Stage Demon Core.

After completing the exchange, Shen Long sat down, and Qin Wei stood up and brought out hundreds of materials in various types.

The Unity Cultivators present began exchanging their items in turn. Shen Long brought out comparatively fewer items, reflecting the fact that he had ascended to the Unity Realm not long ago and didn’t possess many valuable items.

Half an hour later, the exchange was over.

They chatted idly for a while, then Ni Tianting, Master Profound Mystery, and others returned to their lodgings to rest.

Shen Long walked into a Practice Room, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, found Shen Peng, and handed him a silver jade box.

"This is the Seventh Stage Early Stage Green Thunder Falcon’s Demon Core, take it—it’ll help with your advancement."

Shen Long said.

He had inquired with other Unity Cultivators, learning that to rapidly ascend to Seventh Stage, a Sixth Stage Spiritual Beast or Bird would need at least ten same attribute Seventh Stage Early Stage Demon Cores.

According to this, for Shen Peng to ascend to the Seventh Stage in a short time, he’d need at least ten Seventh Stage Early Stage Thunder Attribute Demon Cores, unless he extended the duration.

Chen Biyun owned a Seventh Stage Golden-Eyed Golden Crow, with a bloodline purity of six. It took over ten thousand years and seven Seventh Stage Early Stage Fire Attribute Demon Cores to ascend from Late Sixth Stage to Early Seventh Stage.

"Thank you, Master!"

Shen Peng thanked him, accepting the jade box.

Shen Long left the Myriad Beasts Tower, sat cross-legged on a green meditation cushion, and mediated to regulate his breath.

Seven days later, the Unity Celebration officially commenced.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat on the main stage, with Qin Wei, Ni Tianting, Master Profound Mystery, and other Unity Cultivators positioned close to the main stage, and Li Tianxue, Fairy Qianhuo, Huo Tianxing, and other Void Refinement Cultivators situated nearer to the main stage.

"Divine Weapon Sect presents two Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures and ten thirty-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines, congratulating Senior Shen on ascending further."

"The Ni Family congratulates Senior Shen on entering the Unity Realm, presenting one defensive Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, ten Seventh Stage Demon Cores, and one jar of Seventh Stage Spiritual Wine, wishing Senior Shen even greater progress."

"Big Dipper Pavilion presents one Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, five Seventh Stage Demon Cores, and two Seventh Stage Beast Hides, congratulating Senior Shen on entering the Unity Realm."

"Liuyun Trade Alliance presents one Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, ten thirty-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines, and a batch of Refining Materials, congratulating Senior Shen on entering the Unity Realm."

······

Guest representatives successively presented their congratulatory gifts. Chu Buyu was once a disciple of Divine Weapon Sect, which had many Seventh Stage Artifact Refiners; hence, their gifts were rather lavish, offering two Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.

Shen Long was not an ordinary Unity Cultivator; he was also a Seventh Stage Alchemist capable of refining Top Grade Elixirs.

The gifts from Ni Family, Big Dipper Pavilion, and Liuyun Trade Alliance were also substantial. They valued Shen Long’s strength and his identity as an alchemist, hence the grand gifts. Such treatment was not accorded to ordinary Unity Cultivators.

The gifts from the Nine Flames Sect and Li Family were not as lavish; for them, a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure was quite precious, and these forces provided some Alchemy Materials and a few Seventh Stage Demon Cores.

"Thank you all for coming to my Unity Celebration. Let’s drink a toast to everyone."

Shen Long said, his voice carrying across Reception Peak.

He and Chu Buyu raised their cups and drank the wine within.
