Chapter 861: 770 Closed-door cultivation (done for today)

"Golden Soul Jade Lotus Pill! It has miraculous effects on healing the Divine Soul."

Shen Long explained.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I’ll use a seventh-grade Demon Core and a seventh-grade Wood Demon Crystal Core to exchange for this bottle of Golden Soul Jade Lotus Pill, how about that?"

The Treasure-Seeking Taoist took out a green Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long, speaking through a secret voice transmission.

Other Unity Cultivators also sent secret voice transmissions to Shen Long, for compared to other seventh-grade elixirs, the Golden Soul Jade Lotus Pill was harder to come by.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I will use the Essence Blood of a seventh-grade Sky Tiger Beast, a seventh-grade Wood Demon Crystal Core, the Essence Blood of a seventh-grade Flood Dragon, and an inner core of a seventh-grade Snow Pupil Ice Flood Dragon to exchange for this bottle of Golden Soul Jade Lotus Pill, how about that?"

He Chenyang handed Shen Long a golden Storage Bracelet and spoke through a voice transmission.

"Essence Blood of a seventh-grade Sky Tiger Beast!"

Shen Long felt secretly thrilled; he hadn’t expected to be able to exchange for the Essence Blood of a seventh-grade Sky Tiger Beast.

After weighing his options, Shen Long made the exchange with He Chenyang.

Having exchanged most of what he brought, Shen Long put away the remaining items and sat back down.

Master Fengling rose to his feet and with a flick of his sleeve, a sweep of green light later, the table was piled high with items.

"Taoist Friend Gao, is the potion inside that blue porcelain bottle an elixir or Spirit Water?"

Immortal Jinmei inquired.

"That is diluted Divine Milk of Nature!"

Master Fengling explained.

"What? Divine Milk of Nature?"

The Unity Cultivators present were all visibly shocked.

"I really thought such Spiritual Objects were just made up!"

He Chenyue exclaimed in surprise.

"The effects of the Divine Milk of Nature indeed match those recorded in the books; however, this is the diluted version, which isn’t very effective for Mahayana Cultivators but quite suitable for us, the Unity Cultivators, for an exchange of items with equivalent value."

Master Fengling explained.

"Taoist Friend Song, I would like to exchange a bottle of Golden Soul Jade Lotus Pill with you."

Shen Long said through a voice transmission, merely putting on an act.

If he didn’t speak up, that would truly be suspicious.

Several Unity Cultivators sent secret voice transmissions to Master Fengling, who ultimately made an exchange with Master Profound Mystery. No one knew what kind of items Master Profound Mystery used to exchange for the diluted Divine Milk of Nature.

After less than an hour, the trading concluded and Shen Long, Qin Wei, and others gradually departed, each returning to their own home.

"Unexpectedly, Taoist Friend Gao managed to obtain Divine Milk of Nature! Quite the fortuitous encounter indeed!"

Immortal Jinmei commented.

"It’s a pity it’s diluted, but it is precisely because it is diluted that he took it out for trade. If it were undiluted Divine Milk of Nature, he would have no problem trading it for a Spiritual Object to break through to the Mahayana Realm."

Qinghua True Monarch remarked.

"That’s true," Immortal Jinmei speculated, "Taoist Friend Shen brought out quite a few mystical fruits; I guess he acquired them at Five-Colored Island."

Qinghua True Monarch nodded, "Possibly! He exchanged for quite a few seventh-grade Demon Cores; he must be planning to cultivate a Spirit Beast. His strength will grow much stronger once he has trained a seventh-grade Spirit Beast."

Just as Shen Long and Qin Wei returned to the entrance of Qianling Garden, they saw Wu Yuan at the door.

"Eh, Taoist Friend Wu, you’ve ascended to the Unity Realm, congratulations!"

Shen Long greeted happily.

Wu Yuan also practiced the Myriad Demons True Scripture and had sparred with Shen Long before.

"Congratulations to you too, Taoist Friend Shen. I have some matters to discuss with you; do you have time?"

Wu Yuan asked politely.

Shen Long nodded and led Wu Yuan into Qianling Garden, sitting down together in a green Stone Pavilion.

"Taoist Friend Shen, do you have any White Tiger Pills? I would like to exchange something for them."

As he spoke, Wu Yuan took out two exquisitely made green Jade Boxes and handed them to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the lids to look inside; each box contained a Seven Stars Purple Thunder Fruit.

"Taoist Friend Wu, I also have the Seven Stars Purple Thunder Fruit."

Shen Long said with profound meaning.

"How about the essence blood of a seventh-order Flood Dragon?"

Wu Yuan’s face was full of expectation.

Shen Long shook his head and said, "Taoist Friend Wu, you should know how precious a White Tiger Pill is, and I think it wouldn’t be easy to obtain the essence blood of a seventh-order demon tiger with White Tiger lineage."

"What if it were a Nine Elements Jade Pear Fruit?"

Wu Yuan asked persistently.

"Do you have a Nine Elements Jade Pear Fruit?"

Shen Long asked with doubt.

"I don’t have one at the moment; I just want to know if I could exchange a Nine Elements Jade Pear Fruit for a White Tiger Pill."

Wu Yuan asked.

Shen Long smiled lightly and said, "Of course, if you have a Nine Elements Jade Pear Fruit, you can come to find me at any time."

"Taoist Friend Shen, if you don’t have a White Tiger Pill, can you sell me other seventh-order elixirs?"

Wu Yuan took out an exquisitely made green jade box and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened it to see a green crystal core inside, emitting waves of pure Wood Spirit Power.

"A seventh-order Wood Demon Crystal Core! I can exchange a seventh-order elixir that enhances mana with you."

Shen Long took out a golden jade box and handed it to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan opened the jade box, and inside were five golden pills, emitting a unique fragrance.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen!"

Wu Yuan thanked him and put away the jade box.

After chatting leisurely for half an hour, Wu Yuan took his leave.

Shen Long watched Wu Yuan’s departing figure, his face revealing a thoughtful expression.

Chu Buyu came over and transmitted his voice, "Thunder Control True Monarch has not appeared for over ten thousand years; his life and death are unknown."

Thunder Control True Monarch was Wu Yuan’s master, and Shen Long had also inquired about the whereabouts of Thunder Control True Monarch from Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan said he had not seen Thunder Control True Monarch for over ten thousand years, as the True Monarch had gone traveling and not yet returned.

"Just over ten thousand years, that’s nothing! Unity Cultivators in seclusion for the life-and-death passage can take much more than just over ten thousand years; perhaps Thunder Control True Monarch has gone traveling to other realms!"

Shen Long said nonchalantly.

He didn’t have much of an acquaintance with Wu Yuan, and he wasn’t concerned about Thunder Control True Monarch’s life or death.

Qin Wei also traveled outside for tens of thousands of years before returning; it’s too normal for Thunder Control True Monarch not to show up for over ten thousand years.

"I’ve exchanged for many resources this time; it’s just a matter of time before I cultivate a seventh-order Spirit Beast!"

Shen Long’s face was full of confidence.

The Unity Cultivators who attended the Shennong Conference came from all over, and they had many valuable things on them; Shen Long exchanged for quite a few cultivation resources.

"After the Shennong Conference ends, I’ll go into seclusion to strive for Void Refinement Great Perfection."

Chu Buyu said with a deep voice.

After chatting briefly, Shen Long and Chu Buyu went to rest.

In the following month, Shen Long frequently participated in gatherings of Unity Cultivators, exchanging top-grade elixirs for quite a few resources.

A month later, the Shennong Conference came to a close, and Shen Long, Qin Wei, and others left Shennong Marketplace to return to Qianling Sect.

Back at Qianling Sect, Shen Long and Chu Buyu returned to Golden Roc Peak.

Shen Long called over Sun Lin, took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Sun Lin, instructing, "Master Nephew Sun, have someone keep an eye out for these resources and try to acquire them as much as possible; I plan to go into seclusion for a period of cultivation, and unless it’s something major, do not disturb my cultivation."

He had ascended to the Unity Realm less than two hundred years ago, and planned to go into deep seclusion for some time.

At the Unity Realm, advancing further was difficult, and it was common for Unity Cultivators to go into seclusion for cultivation.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Sun Lin readily agreed, taking the jade slip.

Shen Long entered a Practice Room, sat cross-legged on a green meditation cushion, and lit an incense stick of Calming Soul Incense.

Less than half an hour later, he had adjusted himself to the best state, took out a White Tiger Pill, and placed it in his mouth.

The elixir melted upon entering his mouth; an immense amount of energy surged wildly within his body, and he quickly started cultivating to refine this energy.
