Chapter 856: 765 Hatching Nightmare

Shennong Marketplace, the streets bustling with crowds and hubbub of carriages and horses.

In Shennong Garden, Qinghua True Monarch and a plump woman dressed in a golden skirt sat within a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"No wonder Taoist Friend Shen’s divine skills are so strong, it turns out he cultivates the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture.’"

The woman in the golden skirt suddenly realized.

Immortal Jinmei, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Shennong Pavilion.

"Yes! This cultivation technique is widely circulated, but it has been many years since I’ve seen a cultivator who practices it."

Qinghua True Monarch remarked.

"It’s not surprising, the cultivation requirements for this technique are too strict. Just finding the right essence blood is troublesome enough, let alone refining it into elixirs."

Immortal Jinmei commented.

Qinghua True Monarch was about to say something when he took out a Messaging Plate shimmering with green light, inserted a spell, and a respectful female voice spoke, "Master, Senior Qin and Senior Shen from Qianling Sect have arrived at Shennong Marketplace."

"Invite them over quickly, let’s have a chat with them."

Qinghua True Monarch instructed.

"Yes, Master."

The woman agreed.

Qinghua True Monarch put away the Messaging Plate, a joyful expression appearing on his face.

"It seems Five-Colored Fairy’s Zouhua Cave has found its owner, just don’t know who claimed it."

Immortal Jinmei said.

"Five-Colored Island is not important, the resources on the island are what matter. I hope there are many rare resources on the island, so we might also exchange some with Taoist Friend Shen."

By the end, Qinghua True Monarch revealed a hopeful look.

Before long, Qin Wei and Shen Long entered, followed closely by Fairy Qingzhi.

Qinghua True Monarch and Immortal Jinmei stood up, smiling.

"Madam Qin, Taoist Friend Shen, please take a seat."

Qinghua True Monarch greeted Qin Wei and Shen Long to sit down, and Fairy Qingzhi stepped back.

"Taoist Friend Yu, it’s been over twenty thousand years since we last met. Congratulations on ascending to the late stage of Unity!"

Qin Wei started the conversation, having seen Qinghua True Monarch at past gatherings.

"If it hadn’t been for me taking the Water Apricot Primordial Fruit, I would still be stuck at the middle stage of Unity!"

Qinghua True Monarch explained, his gaze falling upon Shen Long, smiling, "Taoist Friend Shen, both Master Xu and I have heard of your deeds, single-handedly slaying three Unity Cultivators, you have truly bolstered the prestige of our Human Clan."

"Taoist Friend Yu, I heard you have a descendant of Vermilion Bird, raised to the seventh rank?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

Qinghua True Monarch nodded and said, "Yes! Unfortunately, its purity of bloodline is stuck at seven, unable to advance further. Even if it ascends to the eighth rank, it won’t become a True Spirit."

"Madam Qin, Taoist Friend Shen, your Qianling Sect is proficient in insect repelling and beast taming techniques, do you have any way to increase its purity of bloodline?"

Immortal Jinmei asked.

"Taoist Friend Yu, the descendant of Vermilion Bird has only bloodline purity of seven?"

Qin Wei said with some disbelief.

Qinghua True Monarch nodded, "Yes! Its purity had reached seven when it was at the sixth rank. Even upon ascending to the seventh rank, the purity didn’t increase. It’s not the case that the purity rises with each increase in rank."

"That’s true! Nonetheless, the divine skills of the descendant of Vermilion Bird are still very strong."

Shen Long praised.

"Taoist Friend Shen’s spiritual beasts and insects are also formidable! Oh, by the way, Taoist Friend Shen, who controls the Five-Colored Island now?"

Qinghua True Monarch asked.

"It is controlled by my avatar, but the resources inside have been completely scavenged by my avatar,"

Shen Long honestly said.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I heard Five-Colored Fairy entered Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven and obtained many val...

Shen Long slowly said,

"We didn’t mean that, we thought Taoist Friend Shen could obtain the True Spirit Fruit."

Qinghua True Monarch explained,

"Taoist Friend Yu really knows how to joke. To successfully grow a True Spirit Fruit Tree, one needs to water it with True Spirit Essence Blood; otherwise, the fruit is hardly able to mature."

Shen Long said jokingly with a smile.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I would like to exchange two Heavenly Dragon Fruits for one Primordial Soul Fruit and one Water Apricot Primordial Fruit, how about that?"

Immortal Jinmei sincerely said.

Shen Long agreed, and exchanged with Immortal Jinmei. This way, he had four Heavenly Dragon Fruits in his possession.

Qinghua True Monarch was interested in some Refining Materials and exchanged them for Spiritual Medicine.

"Madam Qin, Taoist Friend Shen, the Shennong Convention has not yet started, please stay in the Shennong Marketplace for now. I will introduce you to some Taoist friends who have a lot of good items in their possession."

Qinghua True Monarch enthusiastically said.

Qin Wei and Shen Long agreed, chatted idly for a while, and then took their leave.

Half an hour later, they appeared at the entrance of a sprawling manor, guarded by two Soul Transformation Cultivators. The signboard read "Qianling Garden" in three large characters.

This was the accommodation arranged for the Qianling Sect cultivators by the Shennong Pavilion, recently cleaned up.

If not for Shen Long’s achievements, they would be staying in detached attics, with the Qianling Sect disciples standing at the door.

"Greetings to Grandmaster Qin, Master Shen."

Two disciples bowed deeply, their faces filled with pride.

Shen Long’s deeds had spread, earning the Qianling Sect disciples even more respect from other cultivators.

Qin Wei and Shen Long nodded their heads and walked in with large strides.

Shen Long and Qin Wei separated; he came to a three-storied golden pavilion, the signboard reading "Golden Cicada Pavilion."

Chu Buyu walked out, smiling broadly.

"Husband, you are quite the celebrity now; many old acquaintances have contacted me to offer their congratulations."

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

The Shennong Convention had not yet started, and many High Rank Cultivators had arrived early.

"I plan to refine a few batches of Elixirs and will not see guests for now. Please, wife, help me receive the old acquaintances."

Shen Long said.

He planned to refine Seventh Rank Spirit Flame and then produce Seventh Rank Elixirs.

Shen Lang had received a lot of age-old Spiritual Medicine; Shen Long refined them into Elixirs, convenient for exchanging resources with other Unity Cultivators.

"Rest assured on your Elixir Refining, husband, leave these minor matters to me."

Chu Buyu readily agreed.

Shen Long walked into a Practice Room, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, and appeared on the first floor.

He took out a Golden Jade Vial, pried off the stopper, and out shot a bundle of golden flames, transforming into a huge golden peacock emitting terrifying high temperatures.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the golden peacock charged towards Shen Long.

Shen Long’s body shone with blue light, sprouting numerous Blue Dragon Scales. He emitted a blue sonic wave, confronting the charge.

The blue sonic wave swept over the golden peacock’s body, causing it to burst open and transform into a large swath of golden flames.

Quickly, the golden flames condensed back into a golden peacock, which was once again shattered by a blue sonic wave.

After repeating this process ten times, the golden peacock’s recovery speed began to slow.

Shen Long opened his mouth and sprayed out Qinglian True Flame, transforming into a green Fire Phoenix that swallowed the golden flames.

After consuming a third of the golden flames, it transformed into a fist-sized green round bead.

Shen Long changed the spell, the Golden Jade Vial emitted a golden rosy light, enveloping the golden flames and pulling them back into the vial.

The Seventh Rank Spirit Flame contained massive energy, and the Qinglian True Flame needed to swallow it in three parts.

Shen Long took out a gray Spirit Beast Egg and placed it in the Spirit Control Pool, approaching the Nightmare pattern. Placing his hands on the pattern, he poured Mana into it.

The Spirit Control Pool lit up with a brilliant Spiritual Light, followed by a deafening dragon roar.

A pitch-black five-clawed True Dragon flew out from the Spirit Control Pool, its body covered in black scales, its head featuring a solitary black horn, and its body bristling with sharp spikes.

"Is this the Nightmare?"

Shen Long muttered to himself.

In appearance, the Nightmare greatly resembled a True Dragon, but its body was covered in sharp spikes.

The Nightmare emitted a deafening dragon roar; Shen Long was unaffected, noting that the Nightmare was merely Fifth Rank.
