Chapter 173 – Middle JieDan
Chapter 173 – Mid-Stage JieDan
Time passed, and five years passed.
The door of the secret room opened and Shen Long walked out, his aura was quite a bit stronger than before, he advanced into the middle stage of JieDan.
Counting the time, he had advanced into the JieDan stage for more than twenty years, this cultivation speed was considered fast.
He knew very well that if it wasn’t for the Golden-winged Wind Roc advancing to the third stage, allowing him to save a large period of hard cultivation, he hadn’t advanced into the middle stage of JieDan so quickly, this was the benefit of practicing the Royal Spirit Technique.
As far as he knew, many cultivators advanced into the JieDan stage for a hundred years before advancing into the middle stage.
Shen Long cultivated the Nine Transformation Jiao Technique to the eighth layer, his flesh body could be hardened against magic treasures, and the Blood Jiao Dan was finished, he needed to collect the essence blood of the third-stage Jiao dragon before he could do so.
Shen Long walked out and saw hundreds of transmitting notes floating in the courtyard, he checked them one by one, they were all sent by JieDan cultivators, the contents were more or less the same, most of them wanted to find him to talk about something, and some wanted to ask him to refine pills.
He took out a red light flickering transmission disk and punched in a spell, Han Chuchu’s voice rang out, “Fellow Daoist Shen, finally I’ve contacted you.”
“I’ve just come out of seclusion, Fairy Han, I saw the transmission disk you sent, sorry, I was in closed-door cultivation before.”
Shen Long said.
“Fellow Daoist Shen is polite, Sister Chu wants to know you and asked me to introduce you, she is now leaving the marketplace, some other time is free, I will introduce you to each other!”
Han Chu Chu said.
After chatting for a few sentences, Shen Long cut off the connection and contacted other Jiedan cultivators instead, replying to them.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Long walked out of the Green Falcon Courtyard and wandered around the streets.
He ran a few spirit medicine stores and made some inquiries, but there were still no spirit medicine spirit fruits that nourished the divine soul.
Shen Long came to the square where the scattered cultivators set up stalls and strolled around, failing to pick up any leaks.
This was expected, Shen Long came to the entrance of a splendid palace, the plaque was written with the words “Zi Coral Palace”, there were quite a few cultivators coming in and out.
He had already inquired about it, Zi Coral Palace has a direct teleportation array that can teleport to the outer sea to hunt demonic beasts.
Shen Long walked in, there were two teleportation arrays in the hall, some people teleported over, others teleported away.
He paid 10,000 spirit stones and walked on top of one teleportation array.
After gathering ten people, the guard punched a spell into the teleportation array, and the teleportation array shook slightly, and an eye-catching spiritual light shot up into the sky, drowning the figures of their ten people.
After a slight feeling of dizziness, Shen Long found himself in a spacious and bright hall, and a noise came from outside.
Shen Long raised his steps and walked outside, appearing on a bustling street as he wandered along it.
Along the way, he saw quite a number of stores acquiring demonic beast materials, and there were quite a number of cultivators coming in and out, and all of these cultivators exuded a thick fury, and some of them had quite a number of brown blood stains on their bodies.
“Hehe, Senior Shen.”
A man’s voice rang out.
He Hai quickly walked to Shen Long’s face with a respectful expression.
“You went to the outer sea to hunt demonic beasts?”
Shen Long casually asked.
“No, still working as a guide, there isn’t much work in Zi coral workshop.”
He Hai explained.
“Introduce me to the outer sea.”
Shen Long ordered.
He Hai showed a happy face and introduced the situation of the outer sea to Shen Long.
There were four major islands in the outer sea, which were also four major markets, and they were currently on Jinjiao Island, which was an island controlled by the Ximen family.
Jinjiao workshop market was one of the four major workshop markets in the outer sea, the Han family and Ximen family were married, and many Han family children could be seen.
After a tea time, Shen Long followed He Hai to a vast green stone square, in the center of the square there is a magnificent pavilion, the lacquered gold plaque with three big words “Golden Jiao Pavilion” written on it, this is the largest store in the market.
“Senior Shen, behind the Golden Jiao Pavilion is the Ximen Family and the Han Family, rich in Immortal cultivation resources.”
He Hai introduced.
“Wait for me here.”
Shen Long commanded and took a big step inside.
The hall was spacious and bright, and many customers could be seen selling demonic beast materials.
Shen Long walked straight upstairs, and when he came to the eighth floor, he saw that there was a green-colored light curtain at the stairway leading to the ninth floor.
There were some chairs placed on the eighth floor, Shen Long found an empty chair and sat down.
Not long after, a familiar man’s voice entered Shen Long’s ears, “Fellow Daoist Shen! Long time no see.”
Shen Long turned his head to see Song He walking down quickly, his face full of smiles. “Fellow Daoist Song, so it’s you, long time no see.”
Shen Long greeted with a smile.
“By the way, Fellow Daoist Shen, this is two six-hundred year old Green Wind Grasses, three demon pills of early third stage Green Beaver Beasts and the corpse of a mid third stage Blood Clam Beast, if you don’t mind it, just take it!”
Song He took out a green-colored storage bag and handed it to Shen Long.
“I don’t have anything good either, these two green beaver pills are for fellow Daoist Song.”
Shen Long took out a cyan-colored jade box and handed it to Song He.
Song He’s expression was excited as he thanked him and accepted the green jade box.
After chatting for a while, Song He excused himself and left.
Shen Long raised his steps and walked up, an obese golden-robed old man sat on a chair.
“Old man Ximen Yu, how do you call yourself, fellow Daoist?”
The gold-robed old man said with a smile.
“Shen Zhu!”
Shen Long uttered a fake name.
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Shen, I don’t know what I can do to help Fellow Daoist Shen.”
Ximen Yu wore a smile.
“I would like to purchase some sea charts, and these things.”
Shen Long took out a green-colored jade slip and handed it to Ximen Yu.
Ximen Yu swept his divine sense and said, “Except for the spirit medicine and fruit that nourishes the divine soul and the third-stage Jiao dragon essence blood, there are all the other things.”
“Fellow Daoist Ximen, I’ve heard that the outer sea is often infested with third-order Jiao dragons, is there no third-order Jiao dragon’s essence blood for sale?”
Shen Long asked curiously.
“It’s true that the outer sea is often infested with third-order scaly dragons, but it’s not easy to exterminate third-order scaly dragons, and even if it’s put out for sale, it’s still put up for sale in large-scale auctions.”
Ximen Yu explained.
Shen Long suddenly realized and said, “Alright! Then we need the charts and other things.”
Ximen Yu took out a golden light flickering magic disk, punched in a spell, and made a gesture.
After a while, a tall middle-aged man came up, took out a green-colored storage bag, and handed it to Ximen Yu.
Ximen Yu handed it to Shen Long and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen inspect the goods.”
Shen Long took out the contents of the storage bag and carefully inspected them, confirming that there were no problems, and then paid the spirit stones.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, we are collecting these materials, if you are able to get them, please also give us priority, especially the high ranked Thunder Absorbing Beads and Thunder Drawing Beads, and the Spiritual Pill and Spiritual Fruit that nourish the Divine Soul and the third ranked Jiao Dragon Essence Blood are not out of the question.”
Ximen Yu took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Shen Long.
“The demon pills of the third-stage infant cry beast! Thunder absorbing bead, thunder attracting bead.”
Shen Long’s divine sense swept through it, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
The thunder attribute demonic beasts demonic birds demonic insects above the third rank might have thunder absorbing beads or thunder attracting beads in their bodies, this was a probability event, the thunder absorbing beads could be used to set up formations for refining weapons, which could weaken the power of the thunder tribulation, and the thunder attracting beads could channel the power of heaven and earth’s thunder and lightning, and the higher the rank, the better the effect.
For thunder attribute demonic beasts, demonic birds, and demonic insects, having either a Thunder Absorbing Bead or a Thunder Drawing Bead in their body would be of great help to their cultivation; the Thunder Absorbing Bead could make their tribulation easier, while the Thunder Drawing Bead could increase their strength and direct the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth to attack their enemies.
Shen Long agreed and got up to leave.
He Hai brought Shen Long to stroll through the marketplace, purchased some sea charts and demon pills, and asked a number of shopkeepers about the purchase price of third-order demon beasts to understand the market.
“Alright, no more business for you, this bottle of elixir is a reward for you, keep an eye on those things I said, if there is news, notify me immediately.”
Shen Long instructed, taking out a green-colored porcelain bottle and handing it to He Hai.
He Hai thanked him profusely and promised to accept the green-colored porcelain bottle and left.
Shen Long rented an independent green colored pavilion with three big words “Green Falcon Pavilion” written on the plaque.
The Green Falcon Pavilion had two floors, Shen Long pushed the door and walked in, activated the prohibition and walked into a stone room.
He took out a chart and looked at it.
He planned to go out to the sea to hunt demonic beasts, it was best to run into a third-order jiao dragon, before that, he needed to make good preparations, there were too many islands in the outer sea, and no one knew exactly how many islands there were.
