Chapter 229: Six Months (Not Today)
Chapter 229 Six Months (Not Today)
Early the next morning, Tian Hua arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Spirit Garden, Qian Dafu walked over quickly, bowed, and said, “Senior Tian, Senior Uncle Shen has been waiting for a long time, please follow me.”
Tian Hua nodded and followed Qian Da Fu inside.
Not long after, he followed Qian Da Fu to the Golden Roc Courtyard, where Shen Long was sitting in the stone pavilion, and a fine tea set was placed on the tea table.
“Fellow Daoist Tian, please take a seat, have a cup of tea first, let’s have a good chat about the process of mating Spirit Scorpions.”
Shen Long greeted Tian Hua and sat down.
Tian Hua nodded and sat down as Qian Dafu retreated.
The two of them drank tea while chatting about the mating process of the Spirit Insects and started a discussion on the process.
After a quarter of an hour, Tian Hua said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, if there’s nothing wrong, let’s begin!”
“This is not the right place, let’s go to the secret room!”
Shen Long said, lifting his steps towards the attic.
Tian Hua agreed and followed.
Half an hour later, they walked out from the attic, and Tian Hua showed a happy face.
“It’s been hard on you, fellow Daoist Shen.”
Tian Hua claimed his thanks.
Shen Long smiled indifferently and said, “It’s not like I put in any effort, it was my Spirit Scorpion that put in the effort.”
“I still have things to do, so I won’t bother you, some other time when I’m free, if you go to the Southern Border Immortal Cultivation World, you can go to the Poison Dragon Sect to find me.”
Tian Hua said this and excused himself and left.
Shen Long came to the Hall of Concubine Affairs and looked for an alchemy errand to receive materials for alchemy.
After starting the fight for more than three months, the consumption of elixirs was great, especially healing elixirs.
Shen Long received thirty materials in one breath, according to the regulations, each material was submitted with fifteen pills, the extra pills, he was free to dispose of them, and the pills that were submitted could be exchanged for good deeds, which could be used to exchange for Immortal cultivation resources.
Returning to his residence, Shen Long walked into the alchemy room, took out the Red Crow Cauldron, and began to refine pills.
Now only every once in a while would they engage in a battle, the rest of the time, it was mainly Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting to the death.
——
Skywolf City, Skywolf Hall.
Zhe Sen was sitting on the main seat, and more than thirty YuanYing cultivators were sitting on the two sides.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the Barbarians and the Human Race had engaged in more intense exchanges, with a large number of cultivators dying every single day, and the Foundation Establishment Cultivators becoming expendable, the Barbarians were still able to withstand it as of now.
“It’s been more than three months since we started the war, our losses are not small, I don’t know how long the human cultivators are going to fight, the human race’s ability to reproduce can be stronger than ours.”
Zhe Sen said with a frown.
“I don’t think we need to go through so much trouble, the YuanYing cultivators from both sides will come together and fight a big battle, the direction of the battle still depends on us.”
A big bladdered yellow shirted man spoke up, his voice booming.
Zhuo Shan, the Black Crow Tribe’s High Priest, had a late YuanYing cultivation.
The Black Crow Tribe was one of the eighteen major tribes of the barbarians, and was very close to the Golden Crow Tribe.
“It’s not yet clear what the human tribe’s strategic intentions are, and you’re rushing into a deadly battle with the human tribe’s YuanYing, even if you win, the human tribe won’t retreat.”
Hao Xun frowned and said.
“The strategic intentions of the Human Race won’t be told to us how easily, the YuanYing cultivators might be informed, besides, it’s not the first time the Human Race dealt with us.”
Zhuo Shan said with full concern.
“That being said, we still need to be cautious, not being able to figure out the Human Race’s strategic intentions will make it a struggle for us to deal with them, on top of that, it’s not advisable to start a duel with the Human Race too early now, even if we win, the Human Race won’t retreat.”
Hedori voiced her opinion.
“It’s fine if we win, if we lose, our tribe might have to disappear into the river of history.”
Haohun deeply agreed.
“Hmph, the longer we drag this out, the more deaths and injuries we’ll have, it’s better to just have a big battle with the human tribe and let them know how powerful we are.”
Table Mountain was unimpressed.
“Fellow Daoist Zhe, this big battle, you are in command, tell us your opinion!”
Haohun said.
The crowd looked at Zhe Sen with different expressions.
The YuanYing cultivators of the ten tribes each had their own ideas, some advocated for a quick end to the war, while others advocated for a slow approach.
“We have fought with the human cultivators many times, our clansmen have strong physical bodies and have also mastered the art of totem, causing the human race quite a bit of trouble, however, the human cultivators have many means, spirit beasts, formations, talismans, elixirs, treasures, refining corpses, puppetry, sword paths, music and so on, all in all, we’ve suffered quite a lot of losses, and for the time being, we are not sure of the human race’s strategic intentions, so it is not appropriate to to start a duel, but we can’t just let the human cultivators consume us either, I’m planning to draw a group of high-ranking half-barbarians who have human bloodlines in their bodies, so they can go to the human hinterland to cause trouble, create some chaos for the human race, and alleviate the pressure on us.”
Zhe Sen said.
In the event of a rash duel, if he lost, the Skywolf Tribe might go up in smoke.
“I agree with fellow Daoist Zhe.”
Hao Xun took a stand.
“I also agree.”
Hedori concurred.
Most of the YuanYing cultivators agreed, they would not be happy to let them immediately fight to the death with the human cultivators.
Seeing this situation, Zhuo Shan did not say anything else.
“Let’s do it like this then! In addition to drawing half-barbarians, all the major tribes send out some experts to exterminate some more human cultivators and kill their sharpness.”
Zhe Sen said.
The cultivators deeply agreed and the order was quickly conveyed.
——
Half a year quickly passed, and the Imperial Spirit Garden.
Golden Roc Courtyard, the door to the alchemy room opened, and Shen Long walked out.
He had successfully refined a batch of pills and only needed to submit the pills to redeem a large amount of good deeds.
He came to the Hall of Concubine Affairs and found Qi Shan.
“Fellow Daoist Qi, this is the elixir I refined, please inspect it.”
Shen Long took out a green-colored storage bag and handed it to Qi Shan.
Qi Shan took out dozens of porcelain vials and carefully inspected the pills in each vial, after confirming that there was no problem, he allowed Shen Long to take out his identity nameplate and allocated a large sum of good deeds to Shen Long.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, haven’t you made any moves against barbarian cultivators recently?” Qi Shan asked curiously.
“I don’t have that intention for the time being, there’s no harm in saying what Fellow Daoist Qi has to say.”
Shen Long smiled and said.
“No, I’m just curious, it’s been half a year since the start of the war, and you only struck out once, I thought you were injured.”
Qi Shan explained.
Shen Long just didn’t want to be too eye-catching, so long had passed, it was estimated that the human race had sprung up quite a number of powerful JieDan cultivators, and these people must have attracted the attention of the barbarians.
After chatting for a few moments, Shen Long left the Hall of Concubine Affairs.
After a tea time, he appeared in the green stone square where the stalls were set up and walked around.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, what a coincidence!”
A warm woman’s voice rang out.
Shen Long looked along the source of the voice and saw Han Yuwei and Lin Yutong walking head-on.
“Fairy Lin, are you alright!”
Shen Long asked with a smile.
“Thanks to Fellow Daoist Shen, my little sister is not seriously hurt.”
Lin Yutong said gratefully.
“It’s good that she’s fine, otherwise it would have made my master anxious.”
Shen Long said.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, is it convenient to lend a hand?”
Han Yuwei said politely.
Shen Long nodded and followed Han Yuwei and Lin Yutong to a teahouse and asked for an elegant room.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Lin has confessed to me that there is a Seven Star Soul Containment Fruit here, no honor.”
Han Yuwei took out a golden jade box and handed it to Shen Long.
“Seven Star Embracing Soul Fruit?”
Shen Long was a bit surprised.
He naturally knew the preciousness of the Seven Star Soul Embracing Fruit, and Han Yuwei’s ability was not small, actually able to get the Seven Star Soul Embracing Fruit.
“Mrs. Han, this is inappropriate, it was master who asked me to help, you don’t need to thank me.”
Shen Long said.
“One size does not fit all, I will also thank him, is it too little for you, Daoist Shen?”
Han Yuwei was puzzled.
“Alright! Thanks a lot then, Mrs. Han.”
Shen Long claimed his thanks and accepted the golden jade box.
“By the way, fellow Daoist Shen, Yu Tong is also an alchemist, but her level of alchemy is not high and she failed to make a top-grade elixir, can you instruct her?”
Han Yuwei said politely.
“Instruct?”
Shen Long was slightly stunned.
“If Fellow Daoist Shen finds it troublesome, then forget it, I’m just mentioning it casually.”
Han Yuwei said.
Shen Long pondered for a moment and said, “Since Lady Han opened her mouth, I can exchange the art of alchemy with Fairy Lin, whether she can make a top-grade elixir or not is up to her.”
“Then thanks a lot, fellow Daoist Shen.”
Lin Yutong said gratefully.
Shen Long chatted with Lin Yutong about the art of alchemy, Lin Yutong asked for advice with an open mind, and Shen Long patiently pointed out.
After chatting for a tea time, Shen Long took out a red summoning disk, punched in a spell, and frowned.
“Mrs. Han, Fairy Lin, I have important matters to deal with, I’ll talk to you later, this is some of my alchemy experience, you should take a look at it first! I hope it will help you in refining pills.”
Shen Long took out a green-colored jade slip and handed it to Lin Yutong and excused himself and left.
“Yu Tong, learn the art of alchemy well from fellow Daoist Shen, if you are able to make top-grade pills, those old things won’t dare to say anything about you anymore.”
Han Yuwei said.
“Mother, I don’t want to go back to the Han family, how many sins have you suffered over the years, they really treat you as one of their own, why don’t they care, I haven’t forgotten that the first time I went back to the Han family, the Han family members of the same generation said that I didn’t have a father and called me a little bastard.”
Lin Yutong frowned and said.
“Mother isn’t asking you to go back to the Han family, they’ve always looked down on us as a mother, if you’re able to concoct top grade pills, they wouldn’t dare to underestimate us anymore.”
Han Yuwei explained.
Lin Yutong came to a sudden realization, she thought of something and asked curiously, “Mother, you and Daoist Shen’s master?”
“Adult matters, children should not ask.”
Han Yuwei didn’t want to say more.
Lin Yutong nodded and didn’t pursue the matter.
After leaving the teahouse, Shen Long could hear a loud alarm.
A large number of recluse lights flew towards the city wall at a fast speed.
The barbarian cultivators were attacking again, and Shen Long planned to go out and kill a few JieDan cultivators, perhaps he could take this opportunity to dissolve his bottleneck.
He first returned to the Royal Spirit Garden, changed his clothes, and used the Transformer Lock to change his appearance, and came to the top of the city wall.
Outside the city, tens of thousands of cultivators spread out and fought in an open area.
Shouting and killing sounds rushed to the sky as a large number of cultivators were killed and blood dyed the ground red.
Shen Long stomped the ground with his right foot and turned into a recluse and flew out of Rejecting Barbarians City.
The Ice Silkworm Reality was tangling with a huge golden giant ape, and a big bladdered golden shirted man holding a golden long stick attacked the Ice Silkworm Reality.
