Chapter 269 – Golden Gourd Island
Chapter 269 – Golden Gourd Island
A month’s time passed quickly.
The door of the alchemy room opened, Shen Long walked out, he had successfully refined the Three Leaf Jade God Pills, a total of twenty-four, after deducting the Three Leaf Jade God Pills that were handed over to Xu Mo, he was still able to leave some behind.
He took out a red summoning disk, punched in a spell and said, “Fellow Daoist Xu, the Three Leaf Jade God Pill has been successfully refined.”
“Great, Fellow Daoist Shen, where are you? I’ll go over and get it.”
Xu Mo’s voice was filled with elation.
Shen Long told him the truth and Xu Mo immediately came over.
Shen Long cut off the contact and contacted Qian Dafu instead, gave a command, put away the transmission disk, and walked out.
He came to the stone pavilion and sat down, taking out the tea leaves and tea utensils to make tea.
Not long after, Qian Dafu walked in with Xu Mo.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, please take a seat.”
Shen Long greeted Xu Mo and sat down, picking up the teapot to pour tea.
Xu Mo sat down and looked at Shen Long with an expectant face, saying, “Fellow Daoist Shen, your efficiency is too high!”
Shen Long took out a green colored porcelain bottle, handed it to Xu Mo and said, “Fellow Daoist Xu inspect the goods.”
Xu Mo verified that it was correct, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, took out a green-colored jade box, and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long opened the jade box and saw that there was a thousand year old Green Wind Grass inside.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, I still have important matters to attend to, so I won’t stay much longer, it is fate to meet again, farewell.”
Xu Mo got up to take his leave.
“Senior nephew Qian, see off fellow Daoist Xu for me.”
Shen Long commanded.
Qian Dafu answered and personally sent Xu Mo away.
Lin Yutong walked over, her face full of smiles.
“Senior brother Shen, father and mother are going to organize a dual cultivation ceremony on Golden Hulk Island, it’s almost time, let’s go to Golden Hulk Island first!”
Lin Yutong said.
“Where are Master and Mother!”
Shen Long asked.
“They have long gone over to Golden Hulk Island, you were refining pills before, so I didn’t bother you, if you don’t have anything important to do, let’s go over to Golden Hulk Island now!”
Lin Yutong suggested.
Shen Long nodded and followed Lin Yutong away.
After leaving the marketplace, Shen Long sacrificed his sea-spanning boat and walked up, and Lin Yutong and Qian Dafu followed.
Shen Long pinched his spell, and the sea-spanning boat lit up with a blinding blue light and flew towards high altitude.
Three days later, the sea-spanning boat came to a halt, there was a vast island in front of it, when viewed from a high altitude, the island’s shape resembled a huge gourd, this was Golden Gourd Island, the ancestral land of the Han Family.
Lin Yutong sent out a transmission note and waited quietly.
Not long after, a white recluse flew out from Golden Gourd Island, a flash stopped, the recluse converged, and now appeared a tall white-shirted young man, white and clean, looking gentle.
“My name is Han Xuefeng, I pay my respects to senior Shen.”
The white-shirted youth arched his hand and clasped his fist, politely saying.
Shen Long nodded, “I came over to attend the dual cultivation ceremony of Master and Mother.”
“The accommodation has all been arranged, this way please, Senior Shen.”
Han Xuefeng made a gesture of invitation and personally led the way, leading them into Golden Hulk Island.
Shen Long’s trio followed Han Xuefeng to a manor that covered a vast area with pavilions, waterwheel promenades, and rockery gardens.
“Senior Shen, what do you think of this place?”
Han Xuefeng asked politely.
“Let’s stay here! When will the Dual Cultivation Ceremony be held?”
Shen Long asked.
“It will be convened tomorrow, senior take a good rest first, convene the Dual Cultivation Ceremony, we will send someone over to take you there.”
Han Xuefeng said respectfully.
Shen Long nodded and told Han Xuefeng to retire, and Lin Yutong also left.
Shen Long walked into a practice room with a green-colored futon inside.
He sat on top of the futon and took out a green porcelain bottle, from which he poured out a golden medicinal pill, the pill’s particles were full and bright in color, this was the Three Leaf Jade God Pill. Shen Long put this Three Leaf Jade God Pill into his mouth, the pill melted in his mouth, he hurriedly applied his energy to refine the medicinal power.
He could clearly feel that a faint divine sense surged into the sea of consciousness, this faintness was relative to Shen Long’s divine sense.
——
A large golden hall with three big silver characters “Golden Hulk Hall” written on the lacquered gold plaque.
The door of the hall was open, a tall and thin gold-robed old man was sitting on the main seat, Han Xuefeng was reporting to the gold-robed old man.
“Elder Shen has settled in, and the invited guests have all arrived.”
Han Xuefeng said.
The gold-robed elder nodded and said, “That’s good, I didn’t expect him to advance to the YuanYing stage and his disciple to advance to the YuanYing stage as well, their dual cultivation ceremony should be held in style.”
Ice Silkworm Realist and Shen Long were both YuanYing cultivators, and the Han Clan was happy to accept them.
“Yes, Elder Yilong.”
Han Xuefeng answered with his mouth full and retreated.
——
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the sky had just dawned.
A sound transmission note flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.
Shen Long opened his eyes, and with a flick of his finger, a red light flew out and struck the transmission note, which spontaneously combusted and transformed into a ball of ruddy fire, and Qian Dafu’s voice rang out, “Uncle Shen, Daoist Han came over and is preparing to take us over to Welcome Peak.”
Shen Long got up and walked out, coming outside, he saw Qian Dafu and Han Xuefeng standing at the door.
“Senior Shen, the Dual Cultivation Ceremony is about to be held, please come with senior.”
Han Xuefeng said politely.
“Lead the way!”
Shen Long commanded.
Han Xuefeng answered and stomped the ground with his right foot, transforming into a recluse light that broke through the air and flew towards high altitude, with Shen Long and Qian Dafu following closely behind.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, they landed in an expansive green stone square, where a large number of green jade tables were placed, and behind each green jade table were seated Immortal Cultivators, the higher the cultivation, the more forward the position.
Shen Long followed Han Xuefeng to the front seat and sat down, there were already two YuanYing cultivators, Shen Long did not recognize them.
“Old man Lu Tianhai, Your Excellency should be the disciple of Fellow Daoist Lin!”
A red-faced, blue-robed old man spoke, his voice booming.
“My name is Shen Long, I’ve met Fellow Daoist Lu.”
Shen Long cupped his fists and said.
“I heard Fellow Daoist Lin say that Fellow Daoist Shen is an alchemist, proficient in the art of alchemy, old body Yu Ke.”
A golden-robed crone with a kind face spoke, the golden-robed crone’s aura was quite a bit stronger than Shen Long’s, holding a golden snake-headed walking stick.
“Mrs. Yu’s fallacious praise, Mister Shen can’t talk about being proficient, I’ve just learned some fur.”
Shen Long modestly said.
Shen Long chatted with Lu Tianhai and Yu Ke, and before long, along with a loud bell ringing, someone shouted, “Please invite Senior Lin and Ancestor Yu Wei.”
The crowd of cultivators stopped talking and looked towards the high sky, a white recluse light appeared in the distant sky and stopped in a flash over the verdant stone square.
As soon as the light converged, a white light flashing flying boat appeared, and the Ice Silkworm Realist and Han Yuwei stood on top of the white flying boat.
Shen Long and the other guests stood up to show their respect.
Ice Silkworm Realist and Han Yuwei landed on the podium and sat down.
“Disciples congratulate Master Master’s wife on her big day, and send two pieces of magic treasures, a bottle of fourth-order pills, and some fourth-order refining materials.”
Shen Long stood up, took out a green-colored storage bag, and handed it to Han Xuefeng.
The guests sent congratulatory gifts one after another, these guests were all rushing the face of the Han family to come over, Ice Silkworm Reality didn’t have many old acquaintances in the North Sea Immortal Cultivation World, the congratulatory gifts of these guests couldn’t be said to be much more precious, the better ones sent two pieces of magical treasures, and the poorer ones sent some fourth-order materials, and that’s all.
After the guests finished sending their congratulatory gifts, the Ice Silkworm Realist and Han Yuwei stood up and raised their wine glasses.
“Many thanks to all of you for rushing over to attend our Dual Cultivation Ceremony, let’s toast everyone.”
After the Ice Silkworm Manservant finished saying this, she drank out of her cup, and Han Yuwei picked up her cup and drank it all in one go.
Shen Long and the others rose and returned the toast.
Ice Silkworm Realist and Han Yuwei sat down, Shen Long and the others followed, drinking and chatting.
More than an hour later, the Dual Cultivation Ceremony ended, the guests left one after another, Shen Long, Lu Tianhai, Yu Ke and Ice Silkworm Reality came to a quiet manor, Han Yilong was sitting in the middle of a green stone pavilion, and a set of exquisite tea utensils were placed on top of the green stone table in front of him.
“Fellow Daoist Han, we haven’t seen you for many years, and you’ve advanced to the middle stage! Congratulations!”
Lu Tianhai opened his mouth to congratulate him, his face full of envy.
Han Yilong greeted them and sat down, smiled faintly and said, “The last time I said goodbye, it’s been hundreds of years, Fellow Daoist Lu, how have you been lately.”
