Shen Long only knew a few foundation-building monks, so Qin Yuwei arranged a seat at the back for him and sat down.
"Your Excellency must be Fellow Daoist Shen!"
An old man in green robe with a big belly said.
"Exactly, Your Excellency?"
Shen Long asked politely.
"This is Qingzhu Sanren, and fellow Daoist Liu is also an alchemist."
Qin Yuwei introduced.
"It turns out to be Liu Daoyou."
Shen Long clasped his fists with both hands.
Shen Long chatted with Qingzhu Sanren about the art of alchemy and communicated with each other.
Guests came to Qingshi Square one after another. The Qin family arranged seats and talked with the guests.
After a cup of tea, a loud bell rang.
"The auspicious time has arrived! The master of the family is invited."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud beast roar sounded.
A red light appeared high in the sky and fell slowly. The red light was a giant red lion with two wings on its back, with a fierce look in its eyes.
"The late second-level Fire Winged Lion!"
Shen Long recognized this kind of spiritual beast. He didn't expect the head of the Qin family to raise spiritual beasts. He thought they were ghosts!
An old man in gray robe with a rosy face sat on the back of the Fire Wing Yan Lion. The old man in gray robe had a square face and big eyes, and his eyes were piercing.
Qin Guangwei, the head of the Qin family, was in the late stage of foundation building.
Shen Long and others stood up one after another and greeted Qin Guangwei.
Qin Guangwei responded one by one, greeted everyone, and sat down right in front.
All the guests sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and Shen Long presented two bottles of Huangxingdan, which were not very valuable.
The most precious thing on him is the Spirit Control Tower, and the other thing is the small Five Elements Formation.
According to the market value, this set of small five elements array costs at least 50,000 spirit stones. Yang Qingshu and others do not have much property on them, except for their own expenses and the cost of cultivating ghosts, which are also related to this set of small five elements array.
After the guests sent the congratulatory gifts, Qin Guangwei raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for coming to congratulate Mr. Qin on his birthday. I'd like to toast everyone!"
Shen Long and others raised their glasses in response and drank all the wine in the glasses.
After a glass of wine, everyone started chatting. The topic naturally revolved around cultivation, and also mentioned the interesting things in the world of Zhao Kingdom's immortality.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard that you killed a late second-order ghost python in Baigui Tomb!"
Qingzhu Sanren asked curiously.
The Hundred Ghost Tomb is a dangerous place in the world of Zhao Kingdom’s Immortal Cultivation. There are a large number of ghosts living there. Foundation-building monks may perish if they break in. The level of danger is much lower than that of the Xuanyin Valley. Many monks choose to go to the Hundred Ghost Tomb to hunt monsters or ghosts. .
"Young Daoyou Liu is very well informed! I didn't even tell my fellow clan members."
Qin Guangwei said in surprise.
"Several fellow Taoists saw Fellow Daoist Qin's feat of killing the ghost python. One of them is a good friend of mine. I just learned about it."
Qingzhu Sanren explained.
"I heard that Hyakonizuka appeared in the second-order dragon."
Shen Long said.
"That happened many years ago. Flood dragons are rare to begin with, and second-level dragons are even rarer."
Qin Guangwei said.
"By the way, some time ago, the Hundred Ghost Sect sent many people to conduct a large-scale search. They seemed to be looking for someone. Fellow Daoist Qin is well-informed. Do you know the purpose of the Hundred Ghost Sect's move?"
Qingzhu Sanren asked casually.
"I heard that they are looking for the remnants of the Yu family, and there are also rumors that they are hunting down evil cultivators."
Qin Guangwei said.
"The remnants of the Yu family? Which Yu family?"
Qingzhu Sanren was slightly startled.
"Originally, the Yu family was the number one cultivating family in the Zhao Kingdom! Now the Liu family is the number one cultivating family."
Qin Guangwei said.
"It's been more than two hundred years since the Yu family was destroyed, and the Hundred Ghost Sect is arresting the remnants of the Yu family? This is too strange!"
Shen Long said that he had not heard about this, otherwise he would not pretend to be a descendant of the Yu family.
"I heard that the Yu family has some treasures
, the details are unclear, and there are also rumors that arresting the remnants of the Yu family is just a smokescreen to cover up the real purpose. I don’t know what it is specifically. "
Qin Guangwei said.
"treasure!"
Shen Long had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"It has been more than two hundred years since the Yu family was wiped out. If there is a true treasure, it has been snatched away a long time ago. It is impossible to keep it until now. It is probably fake news released by the Hundred Ghost Sect to cover up the true purpose. They do this often. The incident was initially said to be to capture evil cultivators, and a large-scale search was carried out, but the result was that the Yuling Sect’s intelligence network was uncovered.”
Qin Yuwei said with some dissatisfaction.
The Hundred Ghost Sect is the largest sect in the Zhao Kingdom. It is rather domineering and many monks are dissatisfied, including Qin Yuwei.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something else!"
Qin Guangwei quickly changed the topic and talked about the art of controlling ghosts.
Shen Long couldn't talk to him and just listened to others chatting.
Half an hour later, the chat ended. Qingzhu Sanren proposed an exchange of resources for cultivating immortals, and Shen Long and others deeply agreed.
Qin Guangwei took out dozens of things, including the essence and blood of a second-order dragon, which had not been diluted.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I will exchange for you the second-level dragon essence and blood with the yin beads from the ghosts in the middle stage of foundation establishment and a piece of 500-year-old Xuanyin wood."
Shen Long said.
After the ghost is killed, the Yin Pearl will be left behind. The Yin Pearl is somewhat similar to the demon pill of the monster. The ghost swallowing the Yin Pearl will help to advance. As for the Xuanyin Wood, it is the material obtained by Shen Long after killing Yang Qingshu and other evil cultivators. . ..
Qin Guangwei agreed to the exchange, and Shen Long successfully exchanged it for dragon essence and blood.
More than an hour later, the exchange was completed, the guests left one after another, and Shen Long also said goodbye.
Back in Fangshi, Shen Long visited several elixir stores, bought the elixir for refining the blood dragon pill, and returned to his residence.
He walked into a secret room, sat down cross-legged, took out the Red Crow Cauldron and the alchemy materials, and began to refine the Blood Dragon Pill.
······
The Baigui Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, with dark energy rising into the sky, dark winds blowing, and the constant sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
This is the main altar of the Hundred Ghost Sect. It is patrolled by disciples of the Hundred Ghost Sect all year round and is heavily guarded.
In a gloomy black palace, a plump woman in black dress sat on the main seat with gorgeous facial features.
A tall, thin, middle-aged man was reporting to the woman in black skirt with a respectful expression.
"Sister Xu, that person is not a member of the Yu family, and he is a fake."
A middle-aged man reports.
Shen Guang, in the middle stage of foundation building, is a disciple of the Baigui Sect’s Information Hall.
"Where are Junior Nephew Li and the others! Haven't they found the murderer yet?"
The woman in black skirt asked with a frown.
Xu Li, the leader of the Baigui Sect’s Information Hall.
"The three of them disappeared suddenly. I sent people to check. Chen Liang also disappeared. They were probably silenced by people from the Yuling Sect. The people sent by the Yuling Sect this time are so powerful. Do you want to send more people? To hunt down the murderer?"
Shen Guang asked.
"Forget it, the relationship between the Yin Corpse Sect and us is not good. They are unwilling to cooperate. It will be difficult for us to capture the people of the Yuling Sect. We will send more manpower to search for the descendants of the Yu family. Don't let the barbarians find them first. That thing must be It cannot fall into the hands of the barbarians."
Xu Li ordered.
They received reliable information. The barbarians sent people to sneak into Zhao State to search for the treasures left by the Yu family, and sent a large number of people to arrest the barbarian spies. It didn't take long for the news that the Baigui Sect was arresting the remnants of the Yu family to spread. This was obviously Barbarians did it.
"Yes, Sister Xu."
Shen Guang agreed and left as ordered.
······
Spring passed and autumn came, and five years passed.
In Xuanyinfang City, the streets are crowded with people and traffic.
In Qingtang Courtyard, the door to a secret room opened, and Shen Long walked out with a smile on his face. His aura was much stronger than before, and he was already in the middle stage of foundation building.
In less than twenty years, Shen Long advanced from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building. This cultivation speed was very fast.
He has been in Zhao for more than ten years, and has spent a lot of time practicing and taking...
There are second-level elixirs such as Huang Xing Dan and He Yuan Dan, but his ability to advance to the middle stage of foundation building so quickly is related to his natal spiritual bird, the Golden Winged Wind Peng.
Under Shen Long's training, Golden Winged Fengpeng finally advanced to the second level. Shen Long saved a long period of hard training and successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.
Without the feedback from his natal spiritual bird, it would probably take him more than ten years or even longer to reach the middle stage of foundation building.
Yu Susu and other outsiders did not know the specific time when Shen Long entered the foundation building stage, but Shen Long was not worried about others discovering abnormalities.
In addition to entering the middle stage of foundation building, Shen Long also practiced two wind spells to great perfection, namely the flying technique and the whirlwind technique. The former is a first-level spell and the latter is a second-level spell.
The whirlwind technique is about speed of escape. It can turn into a tornado and escape. The more powerful the mana is, the farther the escape distance is.
Shen Long took out a magic disk with flashing blue light and entered a magic formula. Liu Shi's voice sounded: "Senior Yu, this junior has received news that there is a second-order dragon in Black Python Lake. Many seniors have already rushed there."
"Black Python Lake! Is there any other news?"
Shen Long asked.
"No, that's the news."
Liu Shi honestly said.
"That's it. If you receive important information, contact me immediately."
Shen Long ordered to cut off contact and contact Chen Li instead.
"Master Nephew Chen, are there any major events in the world of immortality recently?"
Shen Long asked.
"I heard that a second-level dragon appeared in Black Python Lake, and many foundation-building monks rushed over."
Chen Li said.
"I heard? Can't you confirm it? Why did a second-order dragon suddenly appear?"
Shen Long asked.
"I don't know. This matter is indeed sudden. The disciples are trying to verify it, but I heard that the disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect and the Hundred Ghost Sect have already rushed over."
Chen Li said.
"I understand. If there is any latest news, please notify me immediately."
Shen Long ordered, cut off contact and contact Yu Susu.
After a while, Yu Susu's voice came from the interrogation tray: "Friend Daoist Shen, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Fairy Yu, I heard that there is a second-order dragon in Black Python Lake. Is this true?"
Shen Long asked.
"Yes, speaking of which, I discovered that this second-order dragon is my old acquaintance, Fellow Daoist Chen Hao, and Fellow Daoist Shen."
Yu Susu said.
"Did he discover it himself?"
Shen Long asked.
"That's not true. Many foundation-building monks saw it and rushed back to bring reinforcements. Many foundation-building monks have already rushed over."
Yu Susu said.
"I see, I've learned a lesson."
Shen Long said.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, don't you also want to take advantage of this second-order dragon? Dragons are not easy to mess with. I know that your strength is not weak. You are only in the early stage of foundation building, so it is better not to provoke the second-order dragon. "
Yu Susu suggested.
"Thank you Fairy Yu for reminding me, I know it well."
Shen Long thanked him.
"Okay! Just take care of yourself."
Yu Susu didn't say much.
Shen Long put away the interrogation tray and walked out.
After leaving Fangshi, Shen Long sacrificed his flying magic weapon and flew high into the sky.
Less than half a month later, Shen Long arrived at Black Python Lake, where a large number of immortal cultivators gathered, including many foundation-building cultivators.
The Black Python Lake generally refers to a large area. The central area is a huge black lake. A late second-order Anaconda appeared there, hence the name.
"Friend Daoist Liu, what a coincidence!"
Shen Long saw Qingzhu Sanren and said hello to Qingzhu Sanren.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are here too."
Qingzhu Sanren nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, hasn't that second-order dragon been killed yet?"
Shen Long asked curiously.
"Hyakki Munewa
The foundation-building monks of the Yin Corpse Sect are killing this dragon. Before that, two teams of demon hunters were killed by this dragon. "
Qingzhu Sanren said.
"It killed two demon hunting teams? So powerful."
Shen Long said in surprise.
Qingzhu Sanren nodded and said: "Friend Daoist Shen came here for the second-level dragon essence and blood! I wonder if the monks of the Hundred Ghost Sect are willing to sell some to us. They don't let other foundation-building monks enter the Black Python Lake."
Shen Long didn't find it strange that the Baigui Sect, as the largest sect in the Zhao Kingdom, had been so domineering for many years.
In the world of immortality, strength is respected, and low-level monks dare not speak out when they are angry. Even if they were given a speech, they would not dare to say anything.
Shen Long looked around. When he saw a young woman in a red dress, his pupils shrank slightly.
"Li Yue! It's her!"
Shen Long secretly thought.
When he was in Qianzhu Valley, he fought with other demon hunting teams and killed Li Yue's younger brother. If Li Yue hadn't joined the Xuanyang Sect, Shen Long would have planned to take the examination as a disciple of the Xuanyang Sect.
He didn't expect to meet Li Yue here. Could it be that Li Yue was also sent to Zhao State to inquire for information.
Both the Yuling Sect and the Xuanyang Sect sent foundation-building monks to the State of Zhao to find out information. Is it for the treasure of the Yu family? Or is there another plan?
Li Yue is a potential threat. If she grows up, she will definitely not let Shen Long go. The hatred of killing her brother is irreconcilable.
"Do you know Mrs. Liu, Daoyou Shen?"
Qingzhu Sanren asked casually.
"No, I know the person next to her."
Shen Long denied it.
Qingzhu Sanren didn't think much and started chatting with Shen Long.
There was a deafening roar, and a huge red fire cloud rose into the sky, straight into the sky.
Shen Long and others were shocked and looked high in the sky.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, a giant skull wrapped in black energy flew from a distance. A group of monks stood on it. The leader was a tall young man in black clothes with a slightly pale face.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, where is the second-order dragon!"
A foundation-building monk asked.
"You've been killed by me, please disperse! Just do what you have to do!"
The young man in black had a cold tone, pinched the spell, and the black skull flew high into the sky.
"Who is this person? He actually killed the second-order dragon."
Shen Long asked curiously.
"Xu Chi, a descendant of the Danjie monk, is very powerful and has raised many ghosts. That dragon is only in the early stage of the second level, otherwise they wouldn't have succeeded so easily."
Qingzhu Sanren said.
Shen Long suddenly realized it and secretly wrote down the name.
The second-order dragon was killed, and the monks left one after another.
"Madam! Let's go back too!"
A tall young man in a gold shirt said, holding out a golden flying boat and walking up, followed closely by Li Yue.
The young man in the golden shirt pinched the magic formula, and the golden flying boat suddenly emitted a golden light and flew high into the sky at a very fast speed.
Shen Long released the Snow Wind Bird, which had advanced to the second level.
He walked up to the Snow Wind Bird's back and patted the Snow Wind Bird's back gently with his palm. The Snow Wind Bird made a clear chirp, flapped its wings lightly, and chased after it.
One day later, the golden flying boat stopped in an open area. The young man in golden shirt and Li Yue walked down, their brows furrowed.
"Your Excellency has been with us for so long, what advice do you have?"
The young man in gold shirt asked with a heavy voice.
He is in the middle stage of foundation building, and Li Yue is in the early stage of foundation building.
"I don't want to take advice seriously. I want to borrow something from two fellow Taoists."
Shen Long smiled slightly.
His current cultivation level is higher than that of Li Yue. This is the best time to deal with Li Yue. Naturally, he will not let go of this excellent opportunity.
"what!"
The young man in golden shirt frowned and asked.
"Both heads!"
Shen Long said
He said, raising his right hand, a green tornado swept out and went straight towards the young man in gold shirt.
With a flick of his left hand, a giant fireball with a diameter of five feet flew out and hit Li Yue.
After entering the middle stage of foundation building, Shen Long cast spells, and the power of the spells increased a lot.
"Instant spell, be careful."
The young man in gold shirt was surprised and quickly held out a golden shield in front of him.
