Chapter 956: 865 out

Shen Long took out a Messaging Plate that flickered with red light and inserted a spell, and the voice of Yuling True Monarch sounded: "Junior Brother Shen, I heard you have ended your closed-door cultivation, can you come to the Spirit Control Garden for a chat?"

"Senior Brother Wu has ended his closed-door cultivation? I am coming to the Spirit Control Garden right away."

Shen Long’s tone was filled with joy.

He put away the Messaging Plate, copied a Cultivation Method of the Spirit Domain, arrived at the Spirit Control Garden, and met Yuling True Monarch in a small courtyard with blue tiles.

Yuling True Monarch and Li Dong were sitting by a blue stone table, sipping tea and chatting.

Yuling True Monarch was still in the Early Mahayana Stage, his aura was much weaker than Shen Long’s, and his Life-Bound Spirit Beast, the Sea Suppressing Ape, had not ascended to the Eighth Rank yet.

Chu Buyu refined a Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure from Seven-Colored Coral Stone, the Seven-Colored Coral Pendant, which Li Dong wore to breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage, successfully overcoming the Heart Demon Pass and the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation, ascending to the Mahayana Stage.

Unfortunately, Qin Han failed to ascend to the Mahayana Stage and fell at the Heart Demon Pass.

"Junior Brother Shen, I heard that Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch was looking for you, your reputation is growing."

Li Dong said with a smile.

Shen Long briefly recounted the events and took out a Green Jade Slip, handed it to Yuling True Monarch, and said, "Senior Brother Wu, here is the Cultivation Method of the Spirit Domain."

"What! The Cultivation Method of the Spirit Domain?"

Yuling True Monarch exclaimed in surprise, taking the jade slip.

"Is Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch so generous? Offering the Cultivation Method of the Spirit Domain as a reward? Isn’t there a catch?"

Li Dong frowned and said, revealing a shade of worry in his eyes.

"For him, it’s just a matter of making a copy. I also feared he had ulterior motives, so I went there together with my wife."

Shen Long explained.

"We should still be cautious, why don’t we follow you? If it’s a trap, we can intervene and help."

Yuling True Monarch suggested.

"That won’t be necessary, my Life-Bound Spirit Bird has already ascended to the Eighth Rank, and with True Spirit Fruit in hand, if he really tries to pull tricks, I’m not afraid of him. He has only had the Cultivation Method of the Spirit Domain for over ten thousand years, he probably hasn’t grasped its essence."

Shen Long said.

Shen Long had no grudge against Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch, and without possessing any major treasures or particularly precious cultivation resources, Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch had no reason to harm Shen Long.

The Qingxuan Clan, Heavenly Demon Palace, and Cold Moon Clan are Shen Long’s three sworn enemies, capable of getting Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch to set him up. The Qingxuan Clan and the Heavenly Demon Palace both have the means, but the Qingxuan Clan doesn’t need to resort to such measures.

With the power of the Qingxuan Clan, if they really wanted to target Shen Long, they wouldn’t need to make it so complicated; a Mahayana cultivator from Qingxuan Clan could simply go directly and attack him. Shen Long was worried about the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"Grasping the essence of the Spirit Domain is very challenging; more than ten thousand years, he definitely wouldn’t have thoroughly understood it, but we still have to be careful."

Yuling True Monarch advised.

"Senior Brother Wu, how did you offend the Heavenly Demon Palace? I am worried they might be setting a trap."

Shen Long spoke earnestly.

Yuling True Monarch pondered for a moment and said, "I went with several fellow cultivators to a dangerous place in search of treasures, and we encountered cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Palace. They attacked us immediately, I killed the leader of the Heavenly Demon Palace cultivators, but also got seriously injured and had to find a place to hide and heal."

"Logically speaking, after so many years, as our Qianling Sect grows stronger, the Heavenly Demon Palace shouldn’t dredge up past affairs, unless Senior Brother Wu holds something of great importance to the Heavenly Demon Palace cultivators."

Li Dong analyzed.

"Something particularly important? Could it be this item?"

Yuling True Monarch wondered, taking out a beautifully crafted Green Jade Box, which had a Silver Talisman affixed to it.

He peeled off the Silver Talisman and took out a fist-sized black crystal stone with tiny holes on its surface.

"What material is this?"

Shen Long was slightly stunned.

"Don’t recognize it, do you?"

Yuling True Monarch asked.

Shen Long took the black crystal stone, it was very light. He examined it closely, frowned, and said: "I don’t recognize it."

He and Chu Buyu attended an auction organized by the Wanhai Trade Alliance, where they met many Mahayana cultivators and expanded their knowledge. However, he did not recognize the origin of the black crystal stone, which was normal as there are many types of refining materials in the cultivation realm.

Shen Long is an Alchemist, not an Artifact Refiner, so his knowledge of refining materials is limited.

He took out a Law Disk that was glittering with red light and input a spell, and Chu Buyu’s voice sounded, "Husband, where are you now?"

"Lady, you’ve finished your artifact refining, and I’m in the Spirit Control Garden chatting with Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Li. Come over! We have a refining material that we can’t identify."

Shen Long said.

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

Chu Buyu agreed.

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate, smiling and said, "The lady is coming over, she should recognize this material."

After chatting leisurely for a while, Chu Buyu arrived.

Shen Long handed a black crystal stone to Chu Buyu, who inspected it closely and exclaimed, "This is the Profound Nether Divine Crystal! It’s the main material for refining Yin attribute Xuantian Treasures."

"What? The main material for refining Xuantian Treasure! Are you sure?"

Yuling True Monarch said in surprise.

"Sure!"

Chu Buyu nodded her head.

They ventured into the Cold Moon Mountain Range, eliminated the Cold Moon Clan cultivators who were guarding, and plundered all their wealth, including the clan’s collected scriptures.

Chu Buyu had read many refining scriptures; she could now refine sets of top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures, though the success rate was not high.

"Senior Brother Wu, did you capture the Nascent Soul of the cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Palace?"

Shen Long asked.

"No, his physical body was destroyed by me, and the Nascent Soul self-destructed. If the Heavenly Demon Palace learns that this object is in my possession, they certainly won’t let me off, Junior Brother Shen, take this Profound Nether Divine Crystal! Oh, and also the remains of the Fire Qilin."

Yuling True Monarch said, handing a red storage bracelet to Shen Long.

The Remnants of True Spirits can be used to refine Xuantian Treasures, which Chu Buyu could use for refining.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu have made many contributions to the Qianling Sect, especially Shen Long; if it weren’t for him refining eighth rank elixirs and exchanging for many resources, Yuling True Monarch couldn’t have cultivated in peace without toiling for resources.

Chu Buyu managed to refine a Seven-Colored Coral Pendant, which made it much easier for Unity Cultivators of the Qianling Sect to advance to the Mahayana Realm.

"What? Fire Qilin Remains?"

Shen Long was shocked, and gave the storage bracelet to Chu Buyu.

"Hopefully, Junior Sister Chu can refine a Xuantian Treasure and make our Qianling Sect a truly great power."

Yuling True Monarch said with a smile.

"My current level of artifact refining is not high enough to refine a Xuantian Treasure, but I am confident."

Chu Buyu said confidently.

After chatting for half an hour, Shen Long and Chu Buyu bid farewell and left; they departed from the Qianling Sect and headed to the Mysterious Fire Realm.

······

In the northwest corner of the Myriad Wood Mountain Range, a massive burst of eight-colored lightning surged into the sky, shaking the ground and mountains, with dust and smoke filling the air.

Not long after, the lightning dispersed.

The Five Thunder Divine Monarch, Wang Yunsong, and Wang Yuanlin stood in a giant pit billowing with black smoke, while an overwhelming Spirit Pressure radiated from Wang Yuanlin’s body, his face pale.

"Our Wang Family has gained the third Mahayana Cultivator, haha."

Wang Yunsong laughed loudly, his expression excited.

"Thanks to Taoist Friend Shen for trading me some Green Profound Passing Misery Pills, and also the Thunder Exorcism Talisman I acquired in the Wanhai Marketplace, Yuanlin was able to pass through the Heart Demon Pass."

Five Thunder Divine Monarch said with a smile.

"With the development trend of our family, there will be an eighth-rank alchemist in the future!"

Wang Yuanlin stated confidently.

Five Thunder Divine Monarch nodded and said, "I plan to travel outside, hoping to ascend to the Mid Stage of Mahayana. Management of the clan will be handed over to you and Changyang. If there’s a major event in Green Lotus Continent, discuss it with the Qianling Sect and Ni Family."

"Yes, Ancestor Mingting."

Wang Yuanlin and Wang Yunsong agreed.

Five Thunder Divine Monarch gave a few instructions and transformed into a streak of Escape Light, leaving the area.
