Chapter 356 – The Zhou Family’s Invitation
He arrived in another valley, where he could see the Soul Nurturing Wood, and not far away, there was a pool filled with Heavenly Soul True Water.
Shen Long used some Heavenly Soul True Water to water the Soul Nurturing Wood, the Soul Nurturing Wood was different from other spiritual plants, if he wanted it to grow better, he needed to water it regularly with Heavenly Soul True Water.
Seven Star True Lord had placed an array to protect the Soul Nurturing Wood, the Soul Nurturing Wood didn’t wither and die, its growth wasn’t very good.
Shen Long exited the Ten Thousand Beasts Pagoda, his sleeve shook, a piece of haze swept by, and there were multiple spiritual treasures on the ground.
He had quite a few spiritual treasures on his body, Green Lotus Bottle, Purple Spider Knife, Qian Jin Needle, Purple Eyes Bead, Jiao Chopper Knife, Leaving Fire Stick, Hidden Spirit Cloak, Hundred Ghosts Diagram, Ink Skeleton Shield, Qian Earth Knife, Qian Yang Tripod, and Qian Yang Seal, among which the Qian Earth Knife came from Zhuo Shan, and Qian Yang Seal belonged to the True Lord of the Golden Crow, and it landed in Zhuo Shan’s hand.
This trip to the ruins, Shen Long killed more than a dozen YuanYing cultivators, got no less than ten million spirit stones, there are also multiple spiritual treasures, a batch of thousand year old spiritual medicine, a batch of weapon refining materials, some fourth order demon pills, etc., really should be the saying, a horse without night grass is not fat, a person without horizontal wealth is not rich.
Even if one was selling fourth-order pills, one would not know how many years it would take to accumulate this much wealth.
The twelve spiritual treasures were all single spiritual treasures, there were no complete sets of spiritual treasures, fortunately Shen Long had obtained some materials for refining spiritual treasures, he could ask a refiner to help him to refine spiritual treasures, and the fourth-ranked Thunder Attracting Beads and Thunder Absorbing Beads could be refined into complete sets of treasures.
Shen Long put away the spiritual treasures on the ground and meditated to regulate his breathing.
——
Heavenly Ghost Island, the general altar of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
A quiet manor, Lin Feng and Su Ying were sitting next to a green stone table, their faces somber.
A medium-sized yellow-shirted youth was reporting back to them with a gloomy expression.
“We’ve contacted the people from the Three Immortals Sect and found out that all three of the Three Immortals Sect’s Elder Qin’s innate soul lamps have gone out, and extrapolating from the time, they died ahead of Senior Aunt Zhao and the others.”
The yellow-shirted youth reported.
Yue Feng, the head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s Intelligence Hall.
Zhao Xueying’s four people’s Intrinsic Soul Lamps went out, the Heavenly Ghost Sect disciple who was guarding the Intrinsic Soul Lamps immediately reported it, and eventually alerted Yue Feng, who immediately contacted the Three Immortals Sect’s people, and learned that Qin Biao and the three of his people had also died, and immediately reported it to Lin Feng.
“Where did they go?”
Lin Feng asked with a frown.
Four YuanYing cultivators had fallen at once, and the Heavenly Ghost Sect had suffered a great loss of vitality.
“I heard that a site was discovered, the details are unclear, I only know that they teamed up to go treasure hunting, then the three of Senior Qin were killed, then the four of Senior Aunt Zhao were killed.”
Yue Feng reported truthfully.
“Senior Sister Zhao executed the Ghost Subduing Technique, coupled with the Hundred Ghosts Diagram, and exterminated a late stage YuanYing cultivator… The person who was able to exterminate Senior Sister Zhao is extraordinary, it can’t be a God Transformation Cultivator, can it!”
Su Ying guessed.
“Senior Sister Zhao wouldn’t be so stupid to mess with a God Transformation Cultivator, it might be the Ten Immortals of the North Sea, they are casual cultivators and are very strong, we can’t rule out a forbidden restriction, Senior Nephew Yue, send more manpower to find out the cause of Senior Sister Zhao’s and their deaths, and send someone to check on the movements of the two Palace Masters of the Sun and Moon Palace, and step up the guard.”
Lin Feng commanded.
“Yes, senior apprentice Lin.”
Yue Feng answered and led the way.
“To have Senior Sister Zhao personally lead the team, that site isn’t simple, there wouldn’t be a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure! Or Spiritual Objects for impacting the Transformation Spirit?”
Su Ying showed a look of anticipation.
“It’s hard to say, let’s wait for senior nephew Yue to check it out, I’m worried that it’s the work of the Sun Moon Palace, senior sister Zhao exterminated the YuanYing cultivator of the Sun Moon Palace last time, and they actually didn’t retaliate, that’s very strange.”
Lin Feng said with a frown, his face full of confusion.
The Sun Moon Palace and the Heavenly Ghost Sect were old enemies, Zhao Xueying had exterminated one of the Sun Moon Palace’s YuanYing cultivators last time, and the Sun Moon Palace didn’t retaliate, which was very unusual, and associating this with the fact that the seven of Zhao Xueying had been killed, Lin Feng was worried that it was the Sun Moon Palace that had done it.
“If it was the two Palace Masters of the Sun Moon Palace that struck, that makes sense, they mastered the art of combining attacks and have matching spirit treasures, Senior Sister Zhao and the others really aren’t opponents.”
Su Ying frowned and said.
“Hmph, if it’s really them, I won’t be polite, the Powerful Golden-backed Ape will come in handy.”
Lin Feng’s face was filled with murderous anger.
If the two Palace Masters of the Sun and Moon Palace made a move to behead Zhao Xueying and the others, the nature would change, this was a declaration of war, it would be immortal.
“The two Palace Masters of the Sun Moon Palace shouldn’t be so stupid, doing this is like declaring war with us, back then, when the Nangong Family and the Seven Fiends Sect were in a full-scale war, both sides were killed and injured, their vitality was greatly damaged, and the other forces swarmed in to exterminate these two forces.”
Su Ying analyzed.
Lin Feng nodded, “Let’s hope not! Their combined attack technique is certainly powerful, we’re not something to be messed with either.”
——
Half a year passed quickly.
In the Golden Jiao Square Market, the streets were filled with pedestrians and the hustle and bustle of carriages and horses.
Golden Cicada Pavilion, practicing room.
Shen Long sat cross-legged on a futon, eyes slightly closed, a red haze covered Shen Long’s entire body.
A sound transmission note flew in and landed in front of Shen Long.
The red haze light on Shen Long’s body surface dispersed, opened his eyes, and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
He flicked his two fingers and a red light shot out, hitting the transmitting note, which spontaneously combusted, sending out Zhou Yuliang’s voice: “Senior Shen, Old Ancestor Hua Long would like to negotiate with you, I wonder if it’s convenient for you?”
“Zhou family!”
Shen Long took big steps and opened the door of the room to see Zhou Yuliang and a big-bellied gold-robed old man standing at the door.
“Old man Zhou Huarong, meet Fellow Daoist Shen.” The gold-robed old man cupped his fists and said, his face full of smiles.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou is polite, let’s talk inside!”
Shen Long invited them in and closed the door to the room.
Shen Long greeted Zhou Huarong and sat down, while Zhou Yuliang stood on the side.
“Haven’t seen you for many years, Fellow Daoist Shen is already in the middle stage of YuanYing, the speed of cultivation really puts old me to shame.”
Zhou Huarong smiled bitterly.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou is flattering, I have taken quite a few elixirs to refine my mana.”
Shen Long said modestly.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Huarong took out a yellow light flashing invitation and handed it to Shen Long, saying, “Fellow Daoist Shen, Yuhua has advanced to the Yuanying stage, we have organized a baby-tying ceremony, and guests are widely invited to attend it, so if you are free, have a glass of watery wine at our Zhou family.”
“Good, if there is nothing, I will definitely go over.”
Shen Long received the invitation, he remembered something and asked, “By the way, Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you have any news about the fourth-ranked Jiao dragon or the fourth-ranked Jiao dragon’s essence blood?”
“No, I can keep an eye out for Fellow Daoist Shen, and I will notify you if there is any news.”
Zhou Huarong said.
After chatting for more than an hour, Zhou Huarong got up to say goodbye and left with Zhou Yuliang.
Shen Long took out a red light flickering transmission disk and punched in a spell, Song He’s voice rang out, “Senior Shen, we have discovered the whereabouts of a fourth-ranked Red Flame Jiao.”
“You guys come over to Golden Cicada Pavilion immediately to report to me.”
Shen Long commanded.
“Yes, Senior Shen.”
Song He answered with his mouth full.
Shen Long put away the transmission disk and waited quietly.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Song He’s five people came over.
“Where did you guys run into the Red Flame Jiao? How did you get away?”
Shen Long opened the door and asked.
Song He didn’t dare to hide and told the truth.
They were hunting demonic beasts in a certain sea area and came across a fourth-order Red Flame Jiao exterminating other fourth-order demonic beasts, they didn’t dare to stay for a long time and immediately rushed back to report.
“Senior Shen, this is the location where we found that Red Flame Jiao.”
Song He took out a chart and handed it to Shen Long, the chart was marked with words.
Shen Long took out a green-colored storage bag, threw it to Song He and said, “This is a reward for you, I hope you don’t notify others of the news, I plan to unite with other Dao friends and go to exterminate this auger.”
Of course he didn’t need to join forces with other YuanYing cultivators, he just said so on purpose, otherwise Shen Long single-handedly exterminating a fourth-order jiao dragon, spreading the word would definitely cause others to be jealous.
“Yes, Senior Shen.”
Song and the five agreed in unison.
“Are there any major events in the Outer Sea lately?”
Shen Long casually asked.
“I heard that there are ruins present somewhere, but the ruins quickly collapsed, it’s not clear what’s going on inside, by the way, the affiliated forces of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Sun and Moon Palace had a big fight.”
Song He said.
“The affiliated forces of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Sun Moon Palace fought big time? Do you know the reason?”
Shen Long pursued.
“Not clear, Sun Moon Palace and Heavenly Ghost Sect are old enemies, always at odds, anyway, Sun Moon Palace and Heavenly Ghost Sect won’t have a big fight, the Nangong family is a foretaste of the past.”
Song He said.
“Yeah! Sun Moon Palace and Sky Ghost Sect won’t have a big fight, that would be creating opportunities for other forces.”
Liu Xin concurred.
“I know, you guys back off!”
Shen Long waved his hand, signaling that they had retired.
“Fourth-ranked Red Flame Jiao! Just in time.”
Shen Long muttered to himself and left the Golden Cicada Pavilion.
He came to the Golden Jiao Hall, walked to the top of the teleportation array, and paid a sum of spirit stones.
After gathering ten people, the guard punched in a spell, the teleportation array lit up with a soft spiritual light, drowning the figures of Shen Long’s ten people, the spiritual light dispersed and they disappeared.
