Chapter 888: 797 Qinglian Commerce Alliance Visitor (No more today)

Chu Buyu nodded and took out the Messaging Plate to inform the other Unity Cultivators.

Su Changfeng walked in and said respectfully, "Master, Senior Xu from the Qinglian Commerce Alliance has an important matter to discuss with you. What do you think?"

"Qinglian Commerce Alliance? Senior Xu?"

Shen Long was slightly startled.

The Qinglian Commerce Alliance was an inter-realm merchant alliance with powerful strength, but Shen Long didn’t have much interaction with people from the Qinglian Commerce Alliance.

"He is a disciple of Qingcan True Monarch, the vice-leader of the Qinglian Commerce Alliance. Their merchant ships passed through the Green Lotus Continent, and Senior Xu heard about the master’s deeds and said he has an important matter to discuss."

Su Changfeng reported truthfully.

"Please invite him in."

Shen Long instructed.

Qingcan True Monarch was a Mahayana Cultivator; Shen Long did not dare to neglect him.

Su Changfeng acknowledged and left.

"What does the Qinglian Commerce Alliance want with my husband? Could it be about the resources in Blood Thorn City?"

Chu Buyu wondered.

"I’m not sure either. Let’s wait for his arrival; all will become clear then."

Shen Long said, full of curiosity.

Not much later, a tall and thin elder in golden robes and Su Changfeng walked in.

The elder in golden robes had a smiling face, giving off an approachable aura.

"I am Xu Sheng, and I have the pleasure of meeting Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu."

The elder in golden robes greeted with a fist and palm salute.

"Please, Taoist Friend Xu, sit down. You are too courteous,"

Shen Long invited Xu Sheng to sit.

Chu Buyu picked up the teapot and poured Xu Sheng a cup of Spiritual Tea, which was blood red in color.

After taking a sip of the Spiritual Tea, Xu Sheng praised it, "This must be the unique Spiritual Tea of the Bloodvine Clan—Bloodvine Tea! Not bad."

"Yes! We seized it from the Bloodvine Clan Cultivators. May I know why Taoist Friend Xu is looking for me?"

Shen Long asked.

"I heard that Taoist Friend Shen has a seventh-rank Spirit Beast capable of transformation, and I assume you must have some expertise in nurturing Spirit Beasts. I wonder if you could sell me a sixth-rank Spirit Beast with a Purity of Bloodline reaching six, ideally one with the bloodline of a powerful Spirit Beast, or even better, a Mutated Spirit Beast."

Xu Sheng said.

Shen Long furrowed his brows and replied, "Taoist Friend Xu, you’ve put me in a difficult position. Indeed, I have Spirit Beasts capable of Transformation, but to nurture them, I have expended a great deal of energy and effort, and fortuitously allowed them to transform."

"I know it’s difficult, which is why I came to Taoist Friend Shen. I assure you that the compensation will not disappoint you."

Xu Sheng said earnestly.

Shen Long pondered for a moment and then asked, "Does it have to be a Spirit Beast? Would Spirit Birds or Spirit Insects do? Demanding a Spirit Beast is quite challenging."

"Spirit Birds would be acceptable, but not Spirit Insects,"

Xu Sheng replied.

Shen Long contemplated before speaking, "I can sell you one, but I don’t have any on hand right now. I can deliver within twenty thousand years."

"Twenty thousand years? That long?"

Xu Sheng frowned.

"Taoist Friend Xu, if you don’t insist on a Purity of Bloodline of six, it wouldn’t take that long,"

Chu Buyu interjected.

"That won’t do! If the Purity of Bloodline is five, our Qinglian Commerce Alliance could manage it on our own. Can Taoist Friend Shen do it any faster?"

Xu Sheng asked sincerely.

"Fifteen thousand years, and that’s the least I can offer,"

Shen Long stated.

"Alright, let’s settle on that. I’ll add one thing: it must carry the bloodline of powerful Spiritual Beasts or Birds. If the bloodline is average, our Qinglian Commerce Alliance could acquire it as well,"

Xu Sheng spoke firmly.

"No problem, I can’t give you a specific price right now, but we’ll discuss the pricing once I’ve bred the creature,"

Shen Long said.

"No problem, if it’s a transformed Spirit Beast, the price can be even higher."

Xu Sheng said meaningfully.

"Taoist Friend Xu, you really enjoy your jokes. It’s very difficult for sixth-order Spiritual Beasts and Birds to transform, more likely it would be the descendants of a True Spirit."

Shen Long replied with a wry smile.

"I know, I’m talking about transformed seventh-order Spirit Beasts."

Xu Sheng stated.

Shen Long frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Seventh-order! I’ll give it a try!"

"Good, it’s a deal, this piece of Primordial Soul Jade is the deposit. Please write me a note, Taoist Friend Shen. I’m a businessman, and nothing is more reliable than black on white."

Xu Sheng took out a fist-sized piece of golden jade with some exquisite patterns on its surface.

"Primordial Soul Jade!"

Shen Long exclaimed.

This was a rare material for refining top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures of the Divine Soul Type, which was crucial for future attempts to ascend to the Mahayana Realm.

Xu Sheng pulling out a piece of Primordial Soul Jade as a deposit showed the deep pockets of the Qinglian Commerce Alliance.

"Taoist Friend Shen, you don’t need me to elaborate on the value of the Primordial Soul Jade. Rest assured, cultivate the Spiritual Beasts and Birds, and we will offer you a satisfying price."

Xu Sheng said confidently.

Shen Long agreed, wrote the note on the spot, two copies in total. Both Shen Long and Xu Sheng signed their names, and each took one.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer. Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, be careful. The Bloodvine Clan is not to be underestimated."

Xu Sheng warned with a sincere tone.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu agreed, rising to see him off.

After seeing Xu Sheng off, Shen Long and Chu Buyu returned to the stone pavilion, sipping Spiritual Tea and chatting leisurely.

"The Qinglian Commerce Alliance really does have deep pockets, using such a large piece of Primordial Soul Jade as a deposit. It would be no problem to refine two top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures of the Divine Soul Type."

Chu Buyu commented.

Primordial Soul Jade, used to craft auxiliary treasures, could be worn on the body, gradually nourishing and strengthening the Divine Soul Power, similar to the effect of the Primordial Soul Fruit. However, unlike the one-time boost from the fruit, which has a limit, the longer the treasure is worn, the better the effect becomes.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I didn’t expect it either. He wants to buy Spiritual Beasts and Birds with strong bloodlines, preferably mutated ones."

The Myriad Beasts Tower did have such creatures, albeit sixth-order.

Fifteen thousand years was enough time to cultivate them to the seventh-order, but whether they could transform was another matter.

"I hope we can cultivate a transformed seventh-order Spirit Beast. That would sell for a good price."

Chu Buyu said.

Shen Long sensed something and quickly walked into a Practice Room.

He entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, appearing on the fourth floor.

A huge thundercloud appeared in the sky, thunder flashing and booming.

Shen Lin was undergoing his breakthrough to the seventh order, facing a formidable Heavenly Tribulation.

Thick silver lightning bolts struck down, aiming for an island below.

Shen Lin could control magical artifacts and formations, and Shen Long had given him a Seven Stars Purple Thunder Fruit. There shouldn’t be a problem for him to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation.

After almost half an hour, the tribulation hadn’t ended. Thunderclouds churned and writhed, producing arcs of lightning in seven different colors.

"Two bolts of Seven-Colored Divine Lightning! Not bad at all."

Shen Long praised.

With a thunderous roar, a thick bolt of seven-colored lightning streaked across the sky, heading straight for the island.

A loud explosion boomed as a huge surge of seven-colored lightning shot into the sky.

Before the seven-colored light could disperse, the thundercloud churned and formed into a gigantic Seven-Colored Qilin with a body covered in seven-colored electric arcs, emitting a destructive aura.

The Seven-Colored Qilin dove from the sky, aiming right for the island where Shen Lin was.

A loud roar of a beast echoed as a multitude of red Fire Spears appeared in the void, shooting towards the Seven-Colored Qilin.

The dense red Fire Spears pierced the body of the Qilin, followed by a massive explosion. The body of the Seven-Colored Qilin burst open, and a huge surge of seven-colored lightning soared into the sky.

The entire island shook violently, the nearby sea churned, raising huge waves, dust filling the air.

Before long, a red rainbow soared from within the lightning and landed in front of Shen Long. It was Shen Lin, who had successfully transcended the Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and ascended to the Unity Realm.
