Chapter 987: 896 True Spirit Core

"We initially had no idea that Lai Ting was involved in planning these events, otherwise we would not have allowed the Spirit Birds to consume Lai Ting’s Nascent Soul. We also understand without evidence, it’s hard for Taoist Friend Yang to believe that we are part of the Human Clan, and with the Qingxuan Clan targeting your Yang Family, we naturally cannot pretend nothing happened."

Shen Long’s tone was sincere.

Putting oneself in their shoes, neither Shen Long nor Chu Buyu would easily believe it.

"This matter is of great importance, Taoist Friend Shen, we would like to use the Seven Stars Heart Testing Talisman to inquire once, would that be convenient? If this is true, our Yang Family will definitely repay you generously."

Yang Yiwei said politely.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had come from far away to deliver this message, with sincere intentions, Yang Yiwei would not treat them poorly.

"No problem."

Shen Long agreed.

Yang Yiwei took out a silver glowing talisman, showed it to Shen Long carefully, Shen Long confirmed there was no issue, and slapped the Seven Stars Heart Testing Talisman onto his body.

A flash of silver light, a stream of silver radiance emerged and enveloped Shen Long’s entire body.

"Taoist Friend Shen, did you kill Lai Ting?"

Yang Yiwei asked.

"Yes."

Shen Long nodded.

Yang Yiwei asked multiple questions, all related to Lai Ting, Shen Long answered truthfully, and the Seven Stars Heart Testing Talisman on his body showed no anomalies.

"Thank you for cooperating, Taoist Friend Shen, our Yang Family can give you five items, be it elixirs, talismans, or spiritual medicines."

Yang Yiwei said.

"We would like a Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit or a talisman that enhances comprehension, is that possible?"

Shen Long asked.

"We can give you one Sky-High Talisman and four other items."

Yang Yiwei said.

"We would like Five-Colored Divine Clay excreted by Eighth Rank Five-Colored Worms and three stalks of over one hundred thousand-year-old Seven-Colored Soul Ganoderma, is that possible?"

Shen Long inquired.

"No problem, I will send someone to fetch them."

Yang Yiwei agreed readily, took out a Law Disk that flickered with spiritual light, and gestured with it.

"Taoist Friend Shen, you have successfully cultivated the eleventh layer of the Myriad Demons True Scripture, haven’t you!"

Yang Yixin asked.

Shen Long was already in the mid-stage of Mahayana, he either changed his cultivation technique or had successfully cultivated the eleventh layer.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I am looking for the essence blood of an Eighth Rank Monster Bird with Vermilion Bird Bloodline, do you have any news, Taoist Friend Yang?"

"No, Eighth Rank Monster Birds are rare, and those possessing Vermilion Bird Bloodline are even rarer."

Yang Yixin shook his head.

They chatted idly, talking about a small world controlled by the Lin Family.

"I heard that this small world contains many rare spiritual medicines and fruits, including those that assist spiritual beasts, birds, and insects in cultivating to become True Spirits."

Shen Long said curiously.

"It’s true, but whether one can cultivate a True Spirit, external factors are important but not decisive. We have three kinds of fruits like the Seven Stars True Spirit Fruit, but still couldn’t cultivate a single True Spirit, even the super clans find it difficult to cultivate a True Spirit."

Yang Yixin said, thinking of something, he added: "Relatively speaking, the effect of the True Spirit Core is better, but to obtain a True Spirit Core, one has to kill a True Spirit."

"Killing a True Spirit? In the Cultivation Realm, true spirits are rare, without controlling a Spirit Domain or possessing a Xuantian Treasure, who dares to provoke a True Spirit."

Chu Buyu said with a wry smile.

"Taoist Friend Shen has already successfully cultivated the eleventh layer of the Myriad Demons True Scripture, using the Art of Transformation, possessing the body of a True Spirit, True Spirits are troublesome for others but not much for Taoist Friend Shen. There is a Demon Race Cultivator called Master Moxuan, he cultivated a True Spirit and attacked our Mahayana of Yang Family, we have already sent people to deal with him."

Yang Yixin said slowly.

"Master Moxuan! Cultivated a True Spirit!"

Shen Long was somewhat surprised.

After chatting for about half an hour, Yang Yunpo walked in, holding a green storage bracelet.

"Yun Bai, hand the storage bracelet to Taoist Friend Shen, see if it contains what you want."

Yang Yiwei said.

Yang Yunpo handed the storage bracelet to Shen Long, Shen Long scanned it with his divine sense, and nodded, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Yang."

"It’s us who should thank you, without you, we wouldn’t have been able to confirm this matter."

Yang Yiwei’s tone was sincere.

"If you ever need help from the Yang Family in the future, Taoist Friend Shen, please do not hesitate to ask."

Yang Yixin promised.

"Indeed, the Yang Family can still hold some influence over several nearby realms."

Yang Yiwei said in a heavy voice.

Shen Long has successfully cultivated the eleventh level of the Myriad Demons True Scripture, and his Art of Transformation allows him to possess the physical body of a True Spirit, which is extremely terrifying.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength speaks loudest. The Yang Family would not make such a significant promise based simply on sending messages; it is Shen Long’s power that has prompted the Yang Family to make this vow.

"If there’s a need, we will certainly ask; if Taoist Friend Yang needs our help, we will definitely not refuse."

Shen Long said solemnly.

The Yang Family has backers in the Immortal Realm and knows a lot of valuable information.

Yang Yiwei and Yang Yixin agreed, chatted for about half an hour, and then Shen Long and Chu Buyu took their leave.

"Immediately convene a meeting with the Mahayana Cultivators of our clan, strengthen the guard, and keep a strict watch for the Qingxuan Clan. We, the Yang Family, must not follow in the footsteps of the Qingxuan Clan."

Yang Yiwei instructed.

Yang Yixin agreed and contacted the other Mahayana Cultivators in the clan.

······

Qingxuan Realm, a secluded manor, Lai Chang and Lai Yan were discussing something.

"I’ve had people investigate, and the last sighting of Lai Ting was in the Sky-High Realm, where she had been gathering maps of the Zhuixian Cave Heaven with several forces, apparently to hunt for treasures inside. She must have encountered a True Spirit,"

Lai Chang said.

"What? She entered the Zhuixian Cave Heaven for treasure hunting? What treasure required her to go personally?"

Lai Yan asked, puzzled.

"According to Taoist Friend Jin, Lai Ting had inquired with him about the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch, who is a disciple of Many Treasures Venerable."

Lai Chang stated.

"Many Treasures Venerable!"

Lai Yan suddenly remembered something and asked: "At the time of the incident, were there any Mahayana from the Yang Family in nearby realms?"

"I don’t know yet, we’re still investigating. As soon as there’s any news, it will be reported immediately,"

Lai Chang said.

"If no Mahayana from the Yang Family was present in nearby realms, then Lai Ting was killed by a True Spirit. They really think we have no way to handle them,"

Lai Yan said with a murderous look.

"Zhuixian Cave Heaven is very dangerous. They’re hiding inside, and we indeed have no way to get at them. I’ve already sent people to collect the maps and Restrictions of Zhuixian Cave Heaven. If needed, we’ll send Mahayana Cultivators to exterminate the True Spirits in the future,"

Lai Chang declared confidently.

······

Tianxuan Realm, Heavenly Demon Marketplace, a marketplace controlled by the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The streets were crowded with people and noisy with the sound of carriages and horses.

A three-story building painted green, with a plaque written in golden letters that read "Qinglian Pavilion." The doors were firmly shut.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu were sitting in chairs, discussing something.

"I’ll refine the Xuantian Treasure right here! I hope to successfully produce the Xuantian Treasure."

Chu Buyu expressed his longing.

The production of Xuantian Treasure will alert the Mahayana Cultivators in the realm, which is another unique aspect of the Xuantian Treasure.

Chu Buyu refining the Xuantian Treasure here was also a way to slander the Heavenly Demon Palace.

For safety, Shen Long sent Shen Ben and Shen Jiu back to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot along with the Five Thunder Divine Monarch to protect the disciples of the Qianling Sect.

"With the Xuantian Object and the Fire Qilin Remains, Madam has two chances to refine the Xuantian Treasure. Hopefully, success will come once, and Shen Ao might also be able to cultivate into a True Spirit,"

Shen Long said with a smile.

In the Storage Bracelet of the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch, there was a True Spirit Core left by the True Spirit Nine-Eyed Ice Toad, but how the Divine Monarch obtained it, Shen Long did not know.

The Storage Bracelet contained numerous Jade Slips that mentioned the Witch Clan.

Shen Long guessed that the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch had encountered a Great Ascendant of the Witch Clan in the Zhuixian Cave Heaven, fought over the True Spirit Core, and although the Monarch had managed to secure the Core, he was cursed to death by the Great Ascendant of the Witch Clan.

The Nine-Eyed Ice Toad, proficient in ice-based Divine Skills, left a True Spirit Core that was highly beneficial for Shen Ao, aiding significantly in his cultivation toward becoming a True Spirit.
