Chapter 282 – Superior Grade Spirit Stone, Shen Yuanlong Jiedan

Chapter 282 – Superior Grade Spirit Stone, Shen Yuanlong Jiedan
By the time Hua Mengyou brought Jiang Chengxuan and arrived at the place where Hou Dongbai was now, Hou Dongbai was talking about something with a few Purple Mansion realm elders.

When he saw Jiang Chengxuan come over, he quickly ended his conversation with the several Purple Mansion elders.

Only after those few Purple Mansion Elders left did Hou Dongbai turn to Jiang Chengxuan with a smile and said:

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, the last time we parted ways, it’s almost been several decades, right?
I wonder if there’s something going on this time when you came all the way to my Bishui Sword Pavilion?”

Hearing Hou Dongbai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t sell himself short but nodded with a smile and said:
“You and I have indeed not seen each other for several decades.

To be honest, the reason I came to you this time is actually because I wanted to ask your pavilion for a favor.”

“Hm?”

Jiang Chengxuan’s words immediately caused Hou Dongbai to be slightly stunned, and then he said thoughtfully:

“To be able to make this Jindan Ancestor of yours speak up about a favor, I guess it shouldn’t be very simple, right?

Tell me, what exactly is it?”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and said, “I’d like to ask your pavilion to help me hold back a few demon kings in the vicinity of the Empty Cang Mountain.”

“Hmm ……?”

Suddenly hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Hou Dongbai’s face immediately just stared, and then became grave.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, what are you trying to ……?”

“Not bad.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said, “I’m planning to launch an attack on that Empty Cang Mountain.

If it’s possible, I’d even like to settle the three Demon Kings on that mountain in this regard.”

A few words immediately caused Hou Dongbai’s face to become more and more gloomy.

He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said with an unusually serious expression:

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you know how much of a risk you would be taking by doing this?”

“That’s why I’ve come to invite your pavilion to help out and hold back the surrounding demon kings for my Jiang family for a moment or two.”

With these words, Jiang Chengxuan no longer hid it.

Only to hear him continue, “I won’t hide it from you, Pavilion Master Hou, just before I came to your pavilion, my wife, she had already gone to Tian Yue Sect ahead of me.

If there are no surprises, Tian Yue Sect’s side, by now, should have already agreed to our request.”

“You have also invited the Heavenly Yue Sect?”

Hou Dongbai was instantly somewhat surprised.

He thought carefully, then said in a deep voice:

“It’s fine to help you guys hold back a few of the surrounding Demon Kings, but friendship between you and I is friendship, and the payment that should be given, your Jiang Clan still has to give.

In addition, I want to know, why did you guys do that?
Also, and most importantly, just how much certainty does your Jiang family have in this operation?”

Jiang Chengxuan answered all of Hou Dongbai’s questions one by one.

First of all, it was the reason for attacking that Empty Cang Mountain.

It was because their Jiang family wanted to acquire a second fourth-order spirit vein.

Looking at Liang and the surrounding area, there was nothing more suitable than the fourth-order spirit vein on the Empty Cang Mountain.

Secondly, the Jiang family’s attack on the Empty Cang Mountain, just how much success they can be sure of.

At this point, in Jiang Chengxuan’s opinion, as long as the Aqua Sword Pavilion and the Tian Yue Sect can help them to successfully hold back those demon kings in the surrounding area, the success rate can be said to be one hundred percent.

However, when formally answering Hou Dongbai, Jiang Chengxuan naturally would not say that, and only said that there was about 70% to 80% certainty.

In fact.

This certainty is already very high.

Hou Dongbai was even a little less convinced.

Although the Jiang Chengxuan at the time, had the record of killing a Jindan fourth layer cultivator, but that was also with the cooperation of someone.

Nowadays, for the two of them, he and Shen Ruyan, to try to simultaneously solve those three fourth-ranked Heavenly Savage Pale Eagles on the Empty Cang Mountain, at least in his Hou Dongbai’s opinion, it was something that was almost impossible.

It was just that on this issue, Jiang Chengxuan did not go into detail, so Hou Dongbai was not in a position to ask more questions.

After all, he believed that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were Jindan real people, would never joke about their own lives and the safety of the entire family.

Finally, it was about their remuneration.

Jiang Chengxuan gave a promise that after killing the three fourth-ranked Heavenly Savage Eagles on that Empty Cang Mountain, they would use the demonic pills in their bodies to refine the Jiejindan.

At that time, they would take out one of them as a reward for their efforts.

At this that Jiang Chengxuan had said, Hou Dongbai’s heart was once again filled with shock.

It was well known that the demonic pills within a fourth rank demon king could be used to refine a fourth rank Conjugation Gold Pill.

However, the difficulty of refining this kind of elixir could be considered quite high.

It was simply impossible for an ordinary fourth rank alchemist to successfully refine it.

Only a fourth rank upper grade alchemist would have a greater certainty of being able to successfully refine the Jiejindan.

Looking at the current range of the five Cangnan countries, as far as he, Hou Dongbai, knew, there was no alchemist whose grade was at the top of the fourth rank.

Now that he, Jiang Chengxuan, said that, could it be that he and his wife are still fourth-ranked alchemists?
As if he could see Hou Dongbai’s mind, Jiang Chengxuan no longer hid it this time, and immediately laughed at him and said:

“Pavilion Master Hou, truth be told, my current alchemy level has already reached the fourth rank.

But compared to my lady, it’s still a lot worse.

Right now, her alchemy cultivation is already at the peak of the fourth rank.”

Saying that was actually still modest.

As a matter of fact, with Shen Ruyan’s alchemy level, the fifth rank was simply out of the question.

But there was no need to reveal this.

In fact, the alchemy level of the top of the fourth rank was already completely out of Hou Dongbai’s imagination, so much so that it took him a long time before he reacted to this, and immediately, he let out a long breath and laughed bitterly:

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, you and your wife, you really hid it from us.

If we really knew that you guys had that level of alchemy, we wouldn’t have needed to have people make a trip to Yuzhou and Cangzhou for nothing.”

Obviously, in the past, if they wanted to request for pills of the fourth rank or above, they had to make a trip to Yuzhou or Cangzhou, which were outside of Cangnan’s five countries.

And the person who went over there couldn’t be an ordinary cultivator, it had to be someone who had reached Jindan cultivation.

In this way, for the Jindan cultivators who traveled to Yuzhou or Cangzhou, there would undoubtedly be a lot of wasted time.

There was something that was not worth it, but it had to be done.

Nowadays, if Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s alchemy level was really as high as Jiang Chengxuan said, it would undoubtedly bring them a lot of convenience.

At least when it came to refining such important pills as the Jiejindan and Zhenzhendan, there was no need to travel so far.

Thinking of this, Hou Dongbai was instantly nodding to Jiang Chengxuan.

“If things are really as you say, Fellow Daoist Jiang, this matter, I can temporarily make the decision to promise you.

However, the specifics of how to do so will need to wait for me to confer with a few other senior brothers before I can give you an accurate answer.”

In reality.

With Hou Dongbai saying this, this matter was basically already in the bag.

The reason why he didn’t give a definitive answer was feared to be because he still wanted to clear the air with the other few Jindan Elders, so as not to leave an impression of arbitrariness.

At this, Jiang Chengxuan naturally expressed his understanding.

And the truth was indeed as expected.

Without waiting too long, Hou Dongbai brought Jiang Chengxuan a positive reply.

Next, the two of them made a relatively detailed discussion about some of the situations that might occur at that time.

Only after a long time did Jiang Chengxuan leave the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

By the time he returned to Mount Taixuan’s Xuanming Peak, he realized that Shen Ruyan was already one step ahead of him and had returned here.

“Well? Husband, everything is still going well, right?”

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan return, Shen Ruyan was immediately smiling and asked.

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded.

“Well, everything is still going well.

By the way, how is it on your side? Looking at you, there shouldn’t be any surprises as well, right?”

“There are indeed no surprises.”

Shen Ruyan nodded.

“The Tian Yue Sect has already agreed to our invitation …….”

Then, the couple each told each other about their trip.

A few moments later.

Then he heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “Now, it’s up to Fifth Uncle’s side.

If it’s as fast as half a year, or as slow as three years, there should almost be a result.

Let’s hope everything goes well for him.”

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Shen Ruyan’s expression couldn’t help but also become a bit gloomy for a while.

She looked in the direction where Mount Huayang was located and gently nodded her head:

“I hope that Fifth Uncle, he, will be able to succeed in one fell swoop this time.”

In the couple’s side, are talking to each other, far away in the Huayang Mountain Shen Yuanlong, at this time is also already arranged all the things in the clan, then entered into his own retreat cave, began to carry out seclusion.

And he is a retreat, is a full two years of time.

This day.

Shen Daoming, Shen Baifei, Shen Rushang, as well as Xu Qian and the four Purple Mansion cultivators of the Shen Clan were discussing things in the Council Hall.

Just at this moment, they suddenly sensed that the aura within the entire Huayang Mountain suddenly began to drastically shake and rapidly move towards the cave where Shen Yuanlong was in seclusion.

This immediately made them look like they had realized something, and a flash of excitement could not help but spread across their faces.

Soon, a group of four people, arrived not far from Shen Yuanlong’s closed cave.

Looking at the aura that suddenly tumbled between heaven and earth, Shen Daoming’s four people’s hearts could not help but all be a little shocked.

This, was this the movement of a cultivator when breaking through Jindan?

Compared to breaking through the Violet Mansion, the sound was simply many times greater.

Boom!
Suddenly, in the sky, a huge pillar of spiritual qi ran through and down, rushing straight into the cave where Shen Yuanlong was in seclusion.

A completely different from the Purple House level of spiritual pressure, instantly from Shen Yuanlong closed in the cave emanated, forcing not far away from Shen Daoming several people, once again back out a long distance. One day, two days, five days ……

A full five days passed.

Shen Yuanlong closed at the cave, that a spirit pressure is getting stronger and stronger.

However, it was precisely at this time that the amount of spiritual qi converging from the surrounding area suddenly began to decrease.

This made Shen Daoming, who was guarding the farther side, immediately change his face.

“Not good!
This spirit vein of ours today is only a third-order spirit vein, I’m afraid that it won’t be able to support Uncle Gong to break through to the Jindan level!”

“Then what should we do now?”

In an instant, a look of anxiety and uneasiness could not help but spread across the faces of several people in Shen Daoming.

If Shen Yuanlong’s failure to break through Jindan was due to an insufficient supply of spiritual qi, then it would be a bit too unjust.

It was really a bit suffocating.

Fortunately, at this moment, two silhouettes suddenly appeared in front of them.

It was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan who had sensed the commotion over here and rushed over.

“Chengxuan, Ruyan.”

Seeing the two of them, several people in Shen Daoming’s mind couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

Shen Daoming even directly went forward and said to the two in a somewhat anxious tone:

“You guys see, uncle he is like this now, what should we do?”

“Elder brother need not worry.”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, couldn’t help but cast a reassuring look towards Shen Daoming several people, all of them.

Immediately afterward, they saw Shen Ruyan take out hundreds of spirit stones that sparkled with brilliant spiritual light from her own body.

This kind of spirit stone was completely different from those spirit stones that they normally used.

Not only did the whole body glitter with spiritual light, but the spiritual qi emitted from the surface of the light made Shen Daoming’s several Purple Mansion cultivators, the mana in their bodies vaguely had the tendency to operate on their own.

Want to absorb the spiritual qi contained within this kind of spirit stone.

“Ruyan, are these ……?”

Several people from Shen Daoming were a bit surprised.

Then he saw Shen Ruyan faintly smile and said, “Elder brother, these spirit stones, are top grade spirit stones.

With their help, the spiritual qi needed for Uncle Fifth to form the Dan will definitely be enough.”

“Top grade spirit stones?”

Although they had already made some guesses earlier, when they heard Shen Ruyan say that with their own ears at this moment, their hearts still couldn’t help but be shocked.

As everyone knew, the grades of spirit stones were divided into four levels: lower, middle, upper, and very high grade.

Among them, most of the spirit stones they used in their daily lives were lower grade spirit stones.

Only when using teleportation arrays, mountain protection arrays, treasure ships of the third rank or above, and such special things, would they utilize medium-grade spirit stones.

As for the top-grade spirit stones.

To be honest, this was the first time Shen Daoming and the others had seen it.

After all, strictly speaking, these types of spirit stones were basically the spirit stones used by Yuan Ying True Lords and them.

It was also a kind of currency that was commonly used amongst YuanYing True Monarchs.

After all, after reaching the YuanYing realm, the purity of the spiritual qi contained in the lower-grade and middle-grade spirit stones was no longer enough to support their cultivation.

Only top-grade or above spirit stones could be absorbed and used by them.

The ones that Jiang Chengxuan had taken out now were precisely one of the harvests from the last time they were in that relic.

As for the very high grade spirit stones that were even more precious than this, they were even more scarce and rare.

Basically, they were all circulated amongst the Heavenly Monarchs of Transformation.

Very few circulated outside.

At this moment.

After Shen Ruyan took out these top-grade spirit stones, she immediately shot them into the surroundings of Shen Yuanlong’s secluded cave, and used them to lay down a Spirit Gathering Boundary.

In an instant, the spiritual qi that had already thinned out around the cave residence became dense once again.

And this time, the purity of the spiritual qi was more than ten times stronger than just now.

Buzz!
In an instant, the spiritual qi once again surged into the cave where Shen Yuanlong was in seclusion in large quantities.

And as time continued, the aura emanating from within Shen Yuanlong’s Cave of Seclusion was also becoming more and more solid.

Half a month later.

In the sky above the head where the crowd was, the sky was suddenly slowly darkening.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but glance at each other.

In their hearts, it was clear that they were both certain of something.

Sure enough.

Seeing where Shen Yuanlong’s seclusion was located, a silhouette swiftly swept out, and in the twinkling of an eye, it flew rapidly towards the outside of Huayang Mountain.

If not Shen Yuanlong who has already succeeded in forming the dan, who would it be?
