Chapter 922: 831 Grandmaster bestows treasures

"Junior Brother Shen has truly ascended to the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm, congratulations!"

Mo Bingbing spoke to offer her congratulations, her face showing joy.

"I reached the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm more than two thousand years ago, and have since been polishing my mana. If it hadn’t been for the Water Apricot Primordial Fruit I took, I would not have been able to resolve the bottleneck."

Shen Long said with a smile.

He was stuck at a bottleneck and solved it by taking the Water Apricot Primordial Fruit, allowing him to smoothly achieve the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm.

"This is the Xuanluo Umbrella that the Yang Family traded to us, a top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure for defense, and here are my insights from my attempt to reach the Mahayana Realm."

Yuling True Monarch took out a small umbrella shimmering with golden light and a golden jade slip, handing them to Shen Long.

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude and accepted the two items.

"Are you planning to enter seclusion to break through to the Mahayana Phase?"

Yuling True Monarch asked.

"Disciple has just come out of seclusion. I will enter seclusion again after a while; I currently have some questions and seek Grandmaster’s guidance."

Shen Long asked earnestly.

The accounts in texts are different from what Mahayana Cultivators recount firsthand. After all, each cultivator’s situation is different; recorded texts are static.

"What questions do you have? Feel free to ask."

Yuling True Monarch spoke amiably.

Shen Long nodded and presented his confusion.

Yuling True Monarch answered meticulously, and Shen Long did not hesitate to inquire; he asked in detail, mainly to understand the process of Unity Cultivators striving to reach the Mahayana Realm.

Yuling True Monarch spared no detail, and Shen Long benefited greatly.

An hour later, Shen Long bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for the guidance, Grandmaster. This disciple is extremely grateful."

"This is my newly accepted disciple, Li Jingjing, who possesses the Ice Soul Physique."

Yuling True Monarch introduced Li Jingjing while pointing at her.

"Disciple pays respects to Master Shen."

Li Jingjing bowed, her cultivation very low; she still held to the proprieties of a junior.

"You are the Grandmaster’s disciple, there’s no need for such formalities. Here are some elixirs that I hope will be of help to you. What is your Life-Bound Spirit Beast?"

Shen Long inquired, taking out a green storage bracelet and handing it to Li Jingjing.

"Disciple has not yet chosen a Life-Bound Spirit Beast. If my teacher or Master Shen has any good recommendations, I would be most grateful."

Li Jingjing said respectfully, her face full of anticipation.

She had long heard that Shen Long had nurtured many powerful Spirit Beasts, and if Shen Long was willing to give her one, Li Jingjing would naturally not refuse.

"Shen Shizhu, everyone knows that your Spiritual Beasts and Insects possess powerful divine skills. If you have a suitable Spirit Beast, you could gift one to her."

Yuling True Monarch said with a smile.

"Yes, Grandmaster."

Shen Long agreed and said, "Junior Sister Li, what kind of Spirit Beast do you desire? One with lightning, fire, or earth attributes?"

"Lightning,"

Li Jingjing replied.

"No problem. Your cultivation is too low for now, I will keep an eye out for you and catch a powerful lightning Spiritual Beast for you another day."

Shen Long promised.

"Thank you, Master Shen."

Li Jingjing thanked him, her expression excited.

"No need to be so formal with family."

Shen Long said earnestly.

Li Jingjing looked at Yuling True Monarch, who nodded and added, "You are my disciple, no need to be so distant with Shen Shizhu."

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Shen."

Li Jingjing said.

"That’s more like it."

Shen Long nodded with satisfaction. He remembered something and looked at Yuling True Monarch, asking, "Master, I heard that a Dark Qilin has escaped from the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven."

"Indeed. It subdued Huang Long True Monarch and Skywolf Divine Monarch. They encountered a Mahayana Cultivator from the Qingxuan Clan in the Yaoguang Realm and fought fiercely, exterminating the Mahayana Mid Stage Lai Yang. However, a Soul Fragment of Lai Yang managed to escape, and only then did the news spread out."

Yuling True Monarch said with a solemn expression.

The Dark Qilin was only at the Great Vehicle Early Stage, yet even Lai Yang of the Mahayana Mid Stage was no match for it, demonstrating the terrifying nature of a True Spirit.

"Also thanks to the Dark Qilin, the attention of the Qingxuan Clan has been shifted onto it. Some True Spirit Noble Families have also dispatched masters, searching everywhere for them."

Mo Bingbing said somewhat relieved.

"The Five Lights Clan, the Yaksha Clan, and the Qianqing Sect suffered heavy losses of Mahayana Cultivators; their vital energies severely injured; the Heaven Cloud Clan was annihilated, vastly reshuffling the powers. It is said that a Spirit Body Practitioner from the Fine Fire Clan with a Nine Flames Body has advanced to Mahayana and, allying with our Human Clan, seized much territory from the Five Lights Clan."

Yuling True Monarch slowly said.

Multiple powerful factions suffered losses of Mahayana, drastically reshuffling the powers, and some smaller factions emerged with Mahayana Cultivators leading their forces to rise.

"Nine Flames Body! The Fine Fire Clan!"

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a small clan to rise. The order of the Cultivation Realm is in great disarray, causing a major reshuffle of powers. It’s the small clans and factions that have the easiest time seizing the opportunity to grow and strengthen."

Yuling True Monarch explained.

Currently, there are three Mahayana Cultivators in the Green Lotus Continent, with just the Five Thunder Divine Monarch alone capable of suppressing the Mahayana Cultivators of the Crystal Clan, the Heaven Cocoon Clan, and the Profound Charm Clan.

Mahayana Cultivators are judged by strength, not by numbers.

"That’s true. I did not expect that there were True Spirits in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven; we are quite lucky for not having encountered any True Spirits ourselves."

Shen Long remarked.

After chatting for half an hour, Shen Long took his leave.

Upon returning to Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long called over Sun Lin and asked, "Are there any promising descendants among Senior Sister Qin’s offspring?"

"Yes, she has ascended into the Void Refinement Phase, and is also a Talisman Maker, proficient in Talisman Crafting."

Sun Lin said.

"Contact her immediately and have her come to Golden Roc Peak. I want to meet her."

Shen Long instructed.

Qin Wei sacrificed her Nascent Soul to buy Shen Long time to escape. Naturally, Shen Long would not treat Qin Wei’s descendants and disciples poorly.

Sun Lin took out a green Law Disk, input a spell, and motioned with his hands.

He quickly briefed Shen Long on this person, allowing Shen Long to understand her background.

In less than half an hour, a slender young lady in a red dress appeared before Shen Long.

"Disciple Qin Yuying, greets Uncle Shen."

The girl in the red dress bowed deeply, her demeanor respectful.

"Master Nephew Sun tells me that you are a Talisman Maker. How many kinds of sixth-level talismans can you refine? And what is your Life-Bound Spirit Bird?"

Shen Long asked kindly.

"Disciple can refine twelve different kinds of sixth-level talismans. My Life-Bound Spirit Bird is a six-tier Four-Winged Flame Crow! It carries the Golden Crow Bloodline, though it is very faint. The Purity of Bloodline has only reached level five, assisted by an Enlightening Pill."

Qin Yuying replied honestly.

Shen Long nodded, his face becoming serious, he asked, "Would you like to become my disciple?"

"Disciple is willing."

Qin Yuying instantly agreed.

All disciples of the Qianling Sect knew that Shen Long was the strongest Unity Cultivator of the sect, skilled in Artifact Refining Technique.

"Good, these resources are for you. Next month we will hold a ceremony where you will formally become my disciple. Although I am not skilled in Talisman Crafting, I can offer guidance on cultivating your Spirit Bird."

Shen Long took out a red Storage Bracelet and passed it to Qin Yuying.

"Thank you, Master. It is disciple’s good fortune to have you as my master."

Qin Yuying expressed her gratitude, accepting the Storage Bracelet with both hands.

"I hope you will walk further on the path of cultivation and ascend into the Unity Realm soon."

Shen Long encouraged.

After chatting for another half an hour, Shen Long dismissed Qin Yuying.
