Chen Qingqing nodded and said: "Zhao State has four relatively strong factions, namely the Hundred Ghost Sect, the Yin Corpse Sect, the Blood Skeleton Sect and the Tiansha Sect. The Hundred Ghost Sect is good at exorcising ghosts, and the Yin Corpse Sect is good at controlling corpses. , the monks of the Blood Skull Sect like to refine their enemies into skeletons, and the Tiansha Sect is used to kill them. Apart from these four forces, the Liu family is undoubtedly the strongest. The Liu family is a force that rose up after the Yu family fell. The Hundred Ghost Sect is supported by many alchemy monks."
"Yu family?"
Shen Long was slightly startled.
"The Yu family has been inherited for hundreds of years and is very powerful. There are no less than five alchemy monks. Junior Brother Shen should know about the Ten Evils and Five Immortals of Donghua!"
Chen Qingqing asked.
"Of course, they are all casual cultivators with vast supernatural powers. The Ten Evils are Dan-forming cultivators, and the Five Immortals are Nascent Soul cultivators. Could it be that the Yu family has provoked the Ten Evils and Five Immortals?"
Shen Long asked curiously. All the major forces did not like to provoke high-level casual cultivators. Donghua was famous for the Ten Evil Immortals and the Five Immortals. The Yu family would not take the initiative to provoke the Ten Evil Immortals and the Five Immortals.
"That's right, I don't know how they provoked Master Crazy Sword. Master Crazy Sword committed suicide in Yujia Castle alone, leaving no one alive. The Yu family's territory was quickly divided up by other forces, and the Liu family annexed most of the Yu family. The Tiansha Sect was very dissatisfied with their territory. The Yu family was very close to the Tiansha Sect. The Tiansha Sect took in some of the children of the Yu family. However, it has been more than two hundred years since the Yu family was destroyed. The Liu family is now the number one in the Zhao Kingdom. Cultivation family."
Chen Qingqing said slowly.
"Master Crazy Sword!"
Shen Long wrote down the name.
"You have to think about hiding your identity. You don't need to ask for any information at the moment. What you have to do is to lurk. Xuanyinfang City is the city where the Yin Corpse Sect is established. The overall strength of the Yin Corpse Sect ranks first among the four sects in the Zhao Kingdom. In Weimo, our intelligence personnel mainly operate in the territory of Baiguimen. The intelligence network was destroyed by Baiguimen's intelligence hall. Before you go to take office, I will train you for a period of time and teach you some lurking skills and intelligence gathering. method."
Chen Qingqing said.
"Senior Sister Chen, our sect has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to go to Zhao State just to monitor the movements of the four sects of Zhao State? If there is really any change in the four sects of Zhao State, we can't detect it, right?"
Shen Long said doubtfully.
He didn't believe that the Yuling Sect was just to monitor the movements of the four sects of the Zhao Kingdom, but he didn't know the purpose of the Yuling Sect in doing so.
"Junior Brother Shen, your authority is not high enough. I cannot tell you many things. Otherwise, if you are captured, you will leak the secrets of our sect. I know your concerns. This sect has invested a lot of resources on you, not to let you Go and die, this is also an opportunity for you. If you can make great achievements, you may be selected for the 72nd Show."
Chen Qingqing's tone was full of temptation.
Naturally, Shen Long would not eat the cake painted by Chen Qingqing. It was so easy to achieve great achievements. Other intelligence officers had already achieved great achievements. The general would not be subject to military orders. When he arrived in Zhao State, it would be good if he did not surrender to the enemy. As for The task depends on the situation!
"I will recommend a second-level Talisman Master to you as soon as possible, but time is running out, so you should make more preparations! Over at Qingyun Peak, I have already said hello to Junior Brother Liu, and he does not know that you have advanced to It’s entering the foundation building stage.”
Chen Qingqing said.
"Senior Sister Chen, can the extra allowance be paid out for ten years at a time? It can't be paid out year by year, right?"
Shen Long said that he would try his best to obtain immortal cultivation resources for himself.
Chen Qingqing nodded and said: "I can give it to you for ten years at a time, and I will give it to you when you leave."
"That's good. If nothing happens, I'll go back first. I hope you can recommend a second-level Talisman Master to come over as soon as possible. If you have a skill nearby, it will be easier for me to lurk."
Shen Long said that casual cultivators can also make elixirs and talismans, but the proportion is not high.
"No problem, you go back to practice first, and if you find a candidate, I will recommend it to you immediately."
Chen Qingqing agreed.
Shen Long nodded and the imperial weapon left.
Returning to his residence, Shen Long walked into a secret room, entered the Yuling Tower, and came to the second floor.
He blew a whistle, and the fire rock beast rushed over from a distance. There was plenty of fire energy here, but it would be too wasteful just to raise the fire rock beast. He planned to plant some fire attributes.
The elixir and fruit.
He has no experience in growing spiritual fruits and elixirs, so he can go to the Sutra Pavilion to consult the classics on this subject.
He sat cross-legged on the blue stone bed, took out a blue porcelain bottle, drank the demonic beast essence and blood inside, and started practicing his skills.
······
Qingyun Peak, Haitang Courtyard.
Ye Yutang, Ye Yuqing and Qian Dafu were sitting in a blue stone pavilion, talking about something.
"Junior Brother Shen, no news for so long? Something happened, right?"
Ye Yuqing said.
"Probably not. I asked Senior Brother Qin and he said that Senior Brother Shen has been transferred out to work."
Qian Dafu said.
"That's strange. He didn't participate in the competition, but was directly transferred out to work? Could it be that he offended someone and was ostracized?"
Ye Yutang said doubtfully.
"That's not clear. I haven't seen him for a long time and there is no news about him. Junior Brother Lin is still planting spiritual peach trees for Senior Brother Shen. He should be fine."
Qian Dafu analyzed.
Ye Yuqing nodded: "I hope so!"
······
More than five months passed quickly, and Qinghu Peak was one of the seventy-two inner peaks.
Green Rose Garden, a secret room with a large number of red runes engraved on the stone wall, and the temperature is frighteningly high.
Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red futon, his eyes fixed on the red alchemy furnace not far in front of him, with four legs and two ears. The surface of the alchemy furnace was engraved with a flame pattern, and there was a red flame at the bottom.
The room was filled with a strong aroma of medicine, and a woman in her early forties in a red dress stood aside. The woman in the red dress had picturesque facial features and her hair was combed into clouds.
After a while, Shen Long's magic formula changed, his sleeves flicked, and the red flame disappeared. He opened the alchemy furnace, got up and walked over.
There are nine Qi-restoring pills in the alchemy furnace, each one has three pill patterns, and they are all low-grade pills.
The woman in the red dress came over and saw the Qi-Reviving Pill in the alchemy furnace. She smiled slightly and said, "Not bad! Junior Brother Shen, it seems that you have some talent in alchemy. With more practice, you should be able to refine it." Taste the elixir."
"Thanks to Senior Sister Jiang's guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have progressed so fast. I'm being careless and disrespectful."
Shen Long took out a red storage bag and handed it to the woman in the red skirt.
The woman in the red dress is Jiang Yan. She is a second-level alchemist who teaches Shen Long how to make alchemy.
Shen Long asked Chen Qingqing to help introduce a second-level talisman maker and teach him how to make talismans. Unfortunately, he did not have the talent to make talismans, and the success rate of refining first-level talisman seals was very low. In desperation, Shen Long could only ask Chen Qingqing for help. Recommend a second-level alchemist.
Unexpectedly, Shen Long has a certain talent in alchemy and can currently refine a variety of first-level elixirs, but they are only low-grade elixirs.
Jiang Yan did not refuse and accepted the red storage bag.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long took his leave.
Returning to his residence, Shen Long walked into a secret room, entered the Yuling Tower, and came to the second floor.
Shen Long stood outside a huge valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. The valley was filled with a large red mist, making it difficult to see clearly what was going on in the valley.
He took out a formation disk with flashing red light and entered a spell. The red mist dissipated and he walked in. There was a large spiritual field in the valley, and he could see some inch-high red grass and red flowers.
The red grass is Huo Yan grass and the red flowers are Chi Yan flowers, which were planted by Shen Long.
He has temporarily opened up twenty acres of spiritual land, all of which are used to grow fire-attribute elixirs. Even if he sells the elixirs, Shen Long can make a lot of money.
Shen Long made a hand seal, and his hands lit up with a burst of dazzling blue light. He touched the air with his right index finger, and a blue light flew out, flew to the sky above Lingtian, and turned into a huge blue cloud.
Blue clouds rolled and surged, and big blue raindrops poured down, and the rain fell on the spiritual field.
After applying rain to the twenty acres of spiritual land, Shen Long walked out of the valley and inserted a spell into the array. A cloud of red mist emerged and flooded the valley.
He whistled, and the fire rock beast came running from a distance,
Let out a loud roar.
Shen Long made a stop gesture with his right hand, and the fire rock beast stopped immediately.
In order to prevent the fire rock beast from eating the elixir, Shen Long specially purchased several sets of first-order formations to protect the spiritual field, and at the same time trained the fire rock beast to prevent it from getting close to the spiritual field.
He took out two red ginseng plants and fed them to the Fire Rock Beast.
Shen Long now has more than 40,000 spiritual stones and a large spiritual field, and is very wealthy.
Raising spirit beasts, spirit insects and spirit birds requires a lot of resources for cultivating immortals. The emergence of volcanoes has greatly eased Shen Long's pressure, and he can cultivate more spirit beasts and spirit insects.
He can refine the first-level elixir now, and it will be even easier when he can refine the second-level elixir.
Shen Long exited the Yuling Pagoda. He took out a communication disk with flashing blue light and entered a magic formula. Chen Ziyi's voice sounded: "Uncle Shen, my grandfather asked me to send you the magic weapon you want. I am here now." The entrance to Qinglian Garden."
"Okay, I'll be out right away."
Shen Long put away the interrogation tray and walked out.
He walked out of Qinglian Garden and invited Chen Ziyi in.
"Uncle Shen, this is the Hundred Illusion Mask refined by my grandfather. It is a high-grade magic weapon that can easily change your face. It will be difficult for a foundation-building monk to discover your true appearance."
Chen Ziyi took out a human skin mask and handed it to Shen Long.
"Hundred Phantom Mask!"
Shen Long took over the Baihuan Mask and looked happy.
"Senior Brother Chen is tired."
Shen Long praised.
"It's just a mask that changes your face. It can also be done with elixirs or talismans. The advantage of the Baihuan Mask is that it can maintain one face for a long time. Grandpa said that the Baihuan Mask can record up to five faces. In other words, Shen Uncle Master can freely switch between five faces. To say he has a hundred faces is actually an exaggeration."
Chen Ziyi explained.
Shen Long smiled slightly: "Five faces! This is enough."
"As long as Master Shen likes it. If nothing happens, I won't disturb Master Shen's cultivation."
Chen Ziyi said goodbye and left.
Shen Long walked into a secret room and practiced the Baihuan Mask.
Early the next morning, Shen Long walked out of the secret room, took out the interrogation tray and contacted Chen Qingqing and Zhao Qian.
Not long after, Chen Qingqing and Zhao Qian came over.
"Senior Sister Chen, Senior Sister Zhao, I plan to go on a mission. Senior Sister Zhao, this is the key to the Qinglian Garden. I don't have anything valuable. Senior Sister Wang can come and go freely. You can hand the key to Senior Sister Wang for me."
Shen Long took out a cyan token and handed it to Zhao Qian.
"Okay, I will transfer it to Junior Sister Wang for you."
Zhao Qian agreed.
"This is a ten-year allowance. When you get there, you should be more careful."
Chen Qingqing took out a blue storage bag and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long took the blue storage bag, glanced at it with consciousness, and nodded.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long Yuqi left the main altar of Yuling Sect.
······
Qingzhou, Qianzhu Valley, there are many pedestrians on the streets.
A tall and tall young man in blue shirt stood at the door of a three-story blue attic. The plaque on the blue attic read "Ye's Arms Store" in five large golden characters.
The young man in blue shirt is none other than Shen Long.
"Changed the store name?"
Shen Long frowned.
This time he returned to Qianzhu Valley mainly to visit Sun Huowang.
A green-shirted attendant in his early thirties came out. He was a little surprised to see Shen Long and said, "Shen Long, no, Senior Shen."
"Is the shopkeeper here?"
Shen Long asked.
"Shopkeeper Sun has moved away a long time ago, congratulations! Senior Shen."
The green-shirted attendant's face was filled with envy.
Shen Long actually advanced to the foundation building stage, which really surprised him.
"Moved? Where? When did you move?"
Shen Long asked.
"I don't know where they moved, maybe five years ago! Shopkeeper Sun and Fairy Sun left suddenly without any warning."
The green-shirted attendant said.
"Is Qin Qing still in Fangshi? Is there anyone wanted in Fangshi?"
Shen Long asked.
"Qin Qing? I haven't seen him for a long time. I haven't heard of anyone wanted."
The green-shirted attendant said truthfully.
Shen Long nodded. It seemed that Qin Qing had not spread the news about the Yuling Order. He had already joined the Yuling Sect. Even if Qin Qing spread the news, it would not affect Shen Long.
Shen Long took out ten spiritual stones, threw them to the attendant in green shirt, and ordered: "Pay attention to the news from the shopkeeper, I will come back in the future."
"Yes, thank you Senior Shen, thank you Senior Shen, thank you Senior Shen."
The attendant in green shirt thanked him profusely.
After leaving Qianzhu Valley, Shen Long sacrificed his flying magical weapon, flew high into the sky, and left this place.
······
The Jinying Mountain Range is located in the southwest of Zhao State. It stretches for tens of thousands of miles and has countless dangerous mountains and peaks. It is often infested with poisonous insects and fierce beasts.
Miasma is permeating the depths of the Jinying Mountains and has been gathering for a long time. There are a large number of poisonous insects and poisonous beasts, attracting many immortal cultivators to hunt monsters here.
Deep in the Jinying Mountains, a young man in a blue shirt with ordinary features stood in an open area. It was Shen Long.
After entering the Kingdom of Zhao, Shen Long put on the Baihuan Mask and changed his appearance.
He participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference and met many Qi-refining monks. He might have met old friends in Zhao State and it would be safer to change his appearance.
The iron-tailed scorpion is fighting with a golden centipede. The golden centipede is two feet long, has golden eyes, and has some flame-like patterns on its shell. It is a late-stage first-order golden centipede.
The iron-tailed scorpion's tail sting hit the golden earthworm's hard shell, and there was a muffled sound of gold and iron clashing.
Shen Long blew a whistle, and a white shadow fell from the sky. It was the Snow Wind Bird.
It flapped its wings lightly, and white ice blades that were more than ten feet long flew out, hitting the golden earthworm one after another, making a muffled sound.
The golden centipede opened its bloody mouth and sprayed out more than a dozen red fireballs as big as a bowl, heading straight for the Snow Wind Bird.
The Snow Wind Bird flapped its wings and quickly avoided more than a dozen red fireballs. It circled behind the Golden Earthworm, sprayed out a stream of white cold air, and hit the Golden Earthworm's tail. Its tail quickly became knotted. It was freezing, and even the ground was frozen.
The golden centipede twisted its huge body and the ice shattered.
The iron-tailed scorpion sprayed out a pungent yellow poisonous mist and hit the golden centipede. A burst of green smoke suddenly appeared from its body, and more than a dozen white ice blades fell from the sky and hit the place where the green smoke was coming out.
There was a muffled sound of "clang", and a thin layer of ice chips appeared where the smoke was coming out.
The iron-tailed scorpion's tail sting trembled and turned into a large piece of yellow silk thread, which hit the smoke-emitting part of the golden centipede one after another. Suddenly, more than a dozen tiny holes appeared on the golden centipede's body.
The golden centipede opened its bloody mouth and spit out a thick stream of red flames. The moment it opened its bloody mouth, the iron-tailed scorpion's body surface glowed with yellow light and it burrowed into the ground.
The red flames hit the ground, and a huge pit suddenly exploded on the ground, with signs of melting in the pit.
The golden centipede wanted to continue attacking the iron-tailed scorpion, but a white cold air fell from the sky and fell on it, and the golden centipede's body froze again.
It twisted again and the ice shattered again.
The iron-tailed scorpion emerged from the ground and appeared on the tail of the golden centipede. Its tail stinger suddenly shook, and a large yellow line flew out, hitting the hard shell of the golden centipede one after another.
There were more than a dozen tiny holes on the body surface of the golden centipede. It made a painful hissing sound, and its huge body kept twisting.
Under the joint attack of the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Snow Wind Sparrow, it didn't take long for the Golden Earthworm to be defeated and poisoned by the Iron Tail Scorpion.
Shen Long nodded with satisfaction. He passed by this place and learned that there were many poisonous insects and beasts here. He went into the mountain specially to give the iron-tailed scorpions a good meal and to train them to join forces to fight against the enemy.
The iron-tailed scorpion's pair of giant pincers clamped the body of the golden earthworm, and gently pulled it
, tore the golden earthworm in half and swallowed it.
"Okay, come back! It's time for us to leave here, business is more important."
Shen Long ordered.
The Iron-tailed Scorpion and the Snow Wind Sparrow seemed to understand Shen Long's words, and turned into a ray of yellow light and a ray of white light respectively, and each flew into a spirit beast bag.
There was a loud noise in the distance, the ground shook violently, and a giant yellow scorpion emerged from the ground. There were traces of fire on the surface of the body, and there were two tail spines. The tail spines were as black as ink.
"Two-tailed scorpion of the second level!"
Shen Long said in surprise.
"Fellow Taoist in front, please take action to stop this two-tailed scorpion."
A loud male voice came from far away.
The two-tailed scorpion regarded Shen Long as its enemy, opened its mouth and sprayed out a thick yellow light, heading straight for Shen Long.
Shen Long's figure swayed and he avoided the yellow light. The yellow light hit a boulder. The boulder emitted a burst of green smoke and showed traces of corrosion.
The two-tailed scorpion wanted to continue attacking Shen Long, but a green vine as thick as an adult's thigh broke out of the ground and wrapped around the two-tailed scorpion's body.
After Shen Long entered the foundation building stage, he cast a first-level spell again, and its power increased a lot.
The two tail stings of the twin-tailed scorpion shook suddenly and hit the green vine one after another, causing the green vine to break.
A giant fireball three feet in diameter fell from the sky and hit the two-tailed scorpion.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and the billowing flames engulfed the body of the two-tailed scorpion.
