Chapter 206 – Qingtong Song Family
An Intrinsic Soul Lamp was worth a lot of money, only high level cultivators of the Royal Spirit Sect would have an Intrinsic Soul Lamp, once they died, the Intrinsic Soul Lamp would go out, the Ice Silkworm Realist, who was an artifact refiner, had refined an Intrinsic Soul Lamp for Xu Xin, which was stored in the secret room of the Ice Silkworm Valley.
“When did this happen?”
Shen Long asked with a frown.
“Half a year ago, I was in cultivation at that time and didn’t know about it, Senior Brother Xu’s best friend was late in finding him and personally came to the Royal Spirit Sect to inquire about it, so I went to the secret room to check, and that’s when I realized that Senior Brother Xu’s innate soul lamp had gone out.”
Chen Bing slowly said.
“Did Senior Brother Xu offend any enemies?”
Shen Long continued to ask.
“According to him, before the incident, Senior Brother Xu had a verbal altercation with a few casual cultivators, other than that, it’s not clear who Senior Brother Xu had a beef with.”
Chen Bing said.
Shen Long asked a few questions, and Chen Bing answered truthfully.
“Senior sister, I’ll personally run to Yu Kingdom! Don’t tell Master about this for now.”
Shen Long said.
It was not strange for the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Royal Spirit Sect to go out and travel and die, it was not possible for the Royal Spirit Sect to send all of its people to investigate, and it was too difficult to trace Xu Xin’s death in a foreign country.
“Why don’t we say hello to the Law Enforcement Palace and ask them to send someone to investigate first?”
Chen Bing said.
If a JieDan cultivator opened his mouth, the Law Enforcement Hall would still send someone.
“Yu Kingdom is relatively far away from Qin Kingdom, they rushed to Yu Kingdom, the clues are probably all broken, I have old acquaintances in Yu Kingdom, it’s better for me to run in person.”
Shen Long said in a deep voice.
“Then it will be hard for you, Senior Brother Shen.”
Chen Bing said.
“This is what I should do, you go back first! Don’t tell Master yet, wait for my news.”
Shen Long said.
Chen Bing nodded and agreed.
“Uncle Shen, disciple will run a trip with you! Can’t help with the big things, running errands is no problem.”
Qian Dafu took the initiative to volunteer.
Shen Long thought briefly and nodded, “Fine! Then you’ll run a trip with me.”
With a shake of his sleeve, the sea-spanning boat flew out, floated in midair, and went up.
Qian Dafu took out the transmission disk and explained a few words to Lin Shan.
Shen Long pinched his spell and the sea-spanning boat suddenly lit up with a blinding blue light and flew towards high altitude, quickly disappearing.
——
Tianwolf Mountain Range, Tianwolf Tribe.
Golden Wolf Garden, pavilion and waterwheel promenade.
Gu Hong was sitting in a green-colored stone pavilion, and Lisanya was reporting to him.
“That traitor possesses a human bloodline and has likely escaped to the human race’s territory, I have activated the scouts lurking within the human race and told them to keep an eye out for news of this person, and once they are discovered, execute them immediately.”
Lisanya said.
“Malha and the others entered the Ten Thousand Flames Valley to seek for treasure, it was hard to get a rare material, we must find him and get back that material, our tribe’s fourth-ranked refiner might be able to refine a spiritual treasure, if we can’t get it, we must destroy it, we can’t let it fall into the hands of the human cultivators, they’re better at refining weapons than we are.”
Gu Hong commanded, his tone stern.
“Yes, Elder Gu.”
Lisanya answered down with a full mouth.
Gu Hong remembered something and said, “There’s still no news about which item?”
“Not yet, I’ve already arranged for manpower to pay more attention.”
Lisanya said.
“As soon as there is news, do whatever it takes to get your hands on that item.”
Gu Hong said.
Lisanya agreed, looking solemn.
——
Yu Country was one of the 36 countries in the Eastern China Immortal Cultivation Realm, with a vast area and a lot of mountains and hills within its borders.
The Qingtong Mountain Range was located in the center of the Yu Kingdom, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with peaks competing for attention and ancient trees, and this was the Song Family’s ancestral land.
The Song Family had been passed down for thousands of years, and possessed a number of JieDan cultivators, and had a certain amount of influence in the Yu Country.
In Qingtong Garden, a rosy-cheeked green-robed old man and a tall and thin gold-shirted man sat in a stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.
The green-robed old man took out a flickering green light summoning disk and punched in a spell, a respectful man’s voice rang out, “Elder Ancestor Qingyu, there is a senior named Shen Long visiting outside.”
“Shen Long? Quickly invite him to the welcoming parlor, I’ll be right there.”
Song Qingyu commanded.
“Yes, Ancestor Qingyu.” The man agreed.
“Sixth Uncle, what is this person’s origin? Are you attaching so much importance to it?”
The gold-shirted man was puzzled.
“Fellow Daoist Shen can refine top-grade pills and comes from the Royal Spirit Sect, now you understand!”
Song Qingyu said.
The Song Family didn’t have any alchemists who could refine top-grade pills, nor did they have any YuanYing cultivators.
“When did you know Fellow Daoist Shen? I haven’t heard you mention it.”
The gold-shirted man asked in confusion.
“In my early years, when I traveled to the Jiang Country to hunt the third-stage Jiao dragons, I got to know quite a few fellow Daoists, and Fellow Daoist Shen is one of them… Shuhang, come with me to meet Fellow Daoist Shen! It’s good to get acquainted.”
Song Qingyu explained.
“Yes, sixth uncle.”
Song Shuheng agreed.
They arrived at the welcoming parlor, and not long after, Shen Long followed a green-shirted youth in.
“Long time no see, fellow Daoist Song.”
Shen Long opened his mouth to greet.
The Song Family had some influence in Yu Kingdom, if the Song Family was willing to help, it would be much easier for Shen Long to do things.
“After a goodbye of many years, fellow Daoist Shen has advanced to the middle stage, congratulations!”
Song Qingyu congratulated, he pointed at Song Shuheng and introduced, “Fellow Daoist Shen, this is my nephew Song Shuheng.”
“I’ve long heard Sixth Uncle mention Fellow Daoist Shen many times, and today I’ve finally met the real person.”
Song Shuheng said politely.
Shen Long sat down, and a green-shirted attendant walked in, put down three cups of fragrant tea and retreated.
Song Qingyu drank tea while chatting with Shen Long.
After chatting for a tea time, Shen Long said, “By the way, fellow Daoist Song, I heard that your family is good at cultivating spirit medicines, how about I use two bottles of Beast Breeding Pills to buy some five or six hundred year old spirit medicines from you?”
He took out two green colored porcelain bottles and handed them to Song Qingyu.
Song Qingyu peeled off the corks of the bottles and poured them into his palm, multiple Breeding Beast Pills rolled down onto his palm, and each of them had nine dan lines on the surface.
“Top grade elixir!”
A flash of surprise flashed across Song Qingyu’s eyes.
It looked like a sale, but in fact, the Song family had made a big profit, and there were very few top-grade pills for sale on the market, so basically, they kept them for their own use.
Offering for no reason, Shen Long definitely had something up his sleeve.
Song Shuheng’s gaze was fiery, with the top-grade Breeding Beast Pill, his spirit beasts might be able to advance a small realm.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, say what you have to say!”
Song Qingyu said with a straight face.
“My senior brother was traveling in the Yu Kingdom, he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he stayed for a while in the Golden Ginseng Workshop, and was killed right after he left the Workshop, I am asking for your Song Family’s help to look into the matter, and if I find the real culprits, I’ll have another big thank you.”
Shen Long promised.
Song Qingyu’s face slowed down and said, “A small matter, can you provide more clues? For example, who is he feuding with.”
Shen Long took out a green jade slip, handed it to Song Qingyu, and said, “This is the situation of several loose cultivators who have grudges with my senior brother, please, fellow Daoist Song.”
He had already been to the Golden Ginseng Market, the crowd was huge, the disappearance of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not attract too much attention, it was better for the Song family to step in.
Qian Da Fu was poking around in other places, checking to see if there were any evil cultivators out there.
Song Qingyu’s divine sense swept, nodded, handed the jade slip to Song Shuheng, and instructed, “Shuheng, you personally go and do it, send people to check if there are any evil cultivators out there, those who provide clues will be heavily rewarded, make inquiries in secret, and don’t make a big deal out of it.”
“Got it, Sixth Uncle.”
Song Shuheng agreed, received the jade slip, and led the order.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, it won’t be clear for a while, so you can stay at our Song family first, and if there are clues, I’ll notify you right away.”
Song Qingyu said.
“Then I’m sorry to bother you.”
Shen Long agreed.
“No disturbance, it’s good that Fellow Daoist Shen doesn’t mind.”
Song Qingyu laughed, a rare opportunity to get closer to Shen Long, he naturally had to seize it.
Just like this, Shen Long stayed in the Song family.
