92: Foundation Establishment, Revision of Techniques_3 92: Foundation Establishment, Revision of Techniques_3 The jade slips all had prohibitive enchantments, only allowing partial content to be viewed, but this was enough.

After browsing the content of all the jade slips, Shen Long held a red jade slip in his hand.

This jade slip was authored by Ice Silkworm True Person and recorded his insights on cultivating the “Nine Revolutions Transforming Flood Dragon Technique.”

Ice Silkworm True Person was one of the Nine Outstanding Cultivators capable of commanding spirit beings, possessing a third-stage Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm as his Life-Bound Spirit Insect.

Shen Long picked two jade slips, one detailing the “Nine Revolutions Transforming Flood Dragon Technique” and the other with insights on cultivating the technique.

He approached the counter and produced his identity plaque.

“Senior Brother, I would like to copy the content of these two jade slips.”

Shen Long handed his identity plaque to the elder in a green robe and spoke politely.

The green-robed elder swept his Divine Sense over the two jade slips, retrieved two blank jade slips and a Law Disk shimmering with golden light, and placed the blank slips onto the golden Law Disk, which subsequently emitted golden rays.

He then took out another Law Disk of blue hue, placed Shen Long’s identity plaque atop it, and after a blue light illuminated, he returned the identity plaque to Shen Long.

“All done!”

The green-robed elder picked up some tomes and continued reading.

Shen Long voiced his thanks, gathered the two jade slips and his identity plaque, and began descending the stairs.

No sooner had he stepped out of the Scripture Pavilion than he saw Chen Qingqing standing not far away.

“Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen!”

Chen Qingqing greeted him with a slight smile.

“Senior Sister Chen, you came here to find me, didn’t you?”

Shen Long spoke, not believing it was a coincidence that Chen Qingqing was also at the Scripture Pavilion.

“Indeed, you have just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage and have no cave dwelling yet.

Come to my residence, let’s have a good chat.

I know you have many perplexities,” said Chen Qingqing.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Senior Sister Chen,” responded Shen Long, having anticipated this day.

Chen Qingqing brought out a blue Flying Boat and boarded it, followed by Shen Long.

With a pinch of a spell, the blue Flying Boat lit up with a brilliant blue light and soared into the sky.

A cup of tea’s time later, the blue Flying Boat appeared above a little valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Inside the valley was a manor with green tiles and bricks, pavilions and towers, gardens with fishponds, and rockery with water wheels.

On pinching a spell, the blue Flying Boat descended before a blue Stone Pavilion where an energetic elder in blue robe sat.

“Junior Brother Shen, may I introduce to you, this is Senior Brother Qin from the Executive Hall who is responsible for allocating cave dwellings to the new Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Which peak would you like to join?” inquired Chen Qingqing.

“Junior Brother Shen, I am Qin Hai.

Choose a peak you like, so I can arrange a dwelling for you,” the blue-robed elder introduced himself.

“Are there any special considerations in selecting a peak?” asked Shen Long.

The treatment differed among the seventy-two Inner Peaks.

“Generally, the stronger the peak you join, the better the benefits.

However, there’s not enough to go around.

The stronger the peak, the more cultivation resources you receive.

Some peaks may not be strong with fewer Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but if you excel there, you could stand out and gain more cultivation resources.

These are some circumstances of the seventy-two Inner Peaks, you may have a look,” said Qin Hai as he handed over a Law Disk flickering with blue light to Shen Long.

Shen Long took the Law Disk and examined it closely.

The introductions on the Law Disk weren’t extensive, mentioning only who the peak masters were and what treatment the disciples of each peak received.

After careful consideration, Shen Long stated, “I choose Tianhu Peak.”

The Peak Master of Tianhu Peak was Qinghu True Person, and a cultivator at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment could claim a yearly stipend of seven hundred Spirit Stones, with over thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators present.

Qin Hai produced a golden Law Disk and offered it to Shen Long, saying, “Here are the available cave dwellings in Tianhu Peak.

Choose one for yourself.”

Shen Long accepted the golden Law Disk and made his selection carefully.

“I’ll go for Qinglian Garden,” Shen Long announced, handing over his identity plaque to Qin Hai.

Qinglian Garden spanned fifty-two acres, with forty acres being Spirit Fields, a fish pond, a lake, and a loft.

The lake could cultivate water-attribute Spiritual Medicines, such as Qinglian.

Qin Hai then took out a Law Disk emitting silver light, placed the identity plaque on the silver Law Disk, which shone with a silver beam.

He took out a square green token, with a blue lotus pattern carved on the front and the characters “Qinglian” on the back.

“This is the key to enter and leave Qinglian Garden.

Keep it safe, Junior Brother Shen.

If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave,” said Qin Hai as he handed over the identity plaque and the green token to Shen Long.

“Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Qin.

Please keep today’s matters to yourself,” Chen Qingqing reminded.

“Rest assured, Senior Sister Chen, I’m well aware of your Information Hall’s rules.

Farewell,” Qin Hai agreed and left by controlling his artifact.

Chen Qingqing poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Shen Long and said, “Junior Brother Shen, I know you have many questions to ask.

Go ahead and ask anything you wish.”

“Senior Sister Chen, shouldn’t the Information Hall have its own spies?

Why suddenly assign the mission to me?

Did our spies in Zhao Country run into trouble?” Shen Long inquired.

Zhao Country also had cultivation sects and families, and strictly speaking, it was under the Demon Path’s dominion, while Qin Country belonged to the righteous path’s territory.

“Exactly.

Our intelligence network in Zhao Country has almost been uprooted, and we need to rebuild from scratch.

I have my sights on you, Junior Brother Shen.

When do you think you were the poorest?” asked Chen Qingqing.

Shen Long thought for a moment before answering, “When I had only five Spirit Stones to my name.”

“This is a question I’ve asked our spies sent out from our sect.

Some say they felt the poorest with only ten thousand Spirit Stones, while others thought the poorest moment was when they could only afford Spirit Rice at five Spirit Stones per pound.

They went to Zhao Country as spies, but couldn’t withstand hardships, and couldn’t convincingly disguise themselves as Loose Cultivators.

Our network was exposed because one spy claimed he liked drinking Biyue Spirit Tea, despite his cover identity being a Loose Cultivator who made a living by hunting Monster Beasts,” explained Chen Qingqing.
