Time passed and five years passed.
The door to the secret room opened, and Shen Long walked out. His aura was much stronger than before. He had entered the middle stage of pill formation.
Calculating the time, he has been in the Danjie stage for more than 20 years, and his cultivation speed is considered fast.
He knew very well that if the Golden Winged Wind Peng had not advanced to the third level, which saved him a long period of hard training, he would not have advanced to the middle stage of pill formation so quickly. This is the benefit of practicing the spirit-controlling technique.
As far as he knew, many monks entered the Dan-Jie stage only after a hundred years did they advance to the middle stage.
Shen Long has practiced the "Nine Transformation Dragon Skill" to the eighth level. His physical body can resist the magic weapon. He has also finished eating the blood dragon pill. He needs to collect the essence and blood of the third-level dragon.
Shen Long walked out and saw hundreds of transmission notes floating in the yard. He checked them one by one and found that they were all sent by the Danjie monks. The contents were similar. Most of them wanted to talk to him about something. Someone wanted to invite him. Alchemy.
He took out a communication disk with flashing red light and entered a spell. Han Chuchu's voice sounded: "Friend Daoist Shen, I finally contacted you."
"I just came out of seclusion. Fairy Han, I saw the transmission note you sent. I'm sorry, I was practicing in seclusion before."
Shen Long said.
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Shen. Sister Chu wants to get to know you and asked me to introduce you. She has left Fangshi now. If she is free another day, I will introduce you to you!"
Han Chuchu said.
After chatting for a while, Shen Long cut off the contact and instead contacted other alchemy monks to reply to them.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Long walked out of Qingfalconyuan and wandered on the street.
He visited several elixir stores and inquired, but there was still no elixir or fruit that could nourish the soul.
Shen Long came to the square where casual cultivators set up stalls and walked around, but couldn't find anything missing.
This was expected. Shen Long came to the door of a magnificent palace. The three characters "Purple Coral Palace" were written on the plaque. There were many monks coming in and out.
He had already inquired about it. Zihu Palace has a teleportation array directly under it, which can be teleported to the outer sea to hunt monsters.
Shen Long walked in. There were two teleportation arrays in the hall. Some people were teleported in and some were teleported away.
He paid ten thousand spiritual stones and walked to a teleportation array.
After gathering ten people, the guard injected a magic spell into the teleportation array. The teleportation array shook slightly, and a dazzling spiritual light rose into the sky, drowning the ten of them.
After a slight dizziness, Shen Long found himself in a spacious and bright hall, and a burst of noise came from outside.
Shen Long walked out and appeared on a busy street. He strolled along the street.
Along the way, he saw many shops that purchased monster materials. Many monks came in and out. These monks exuded a strong evil spirit, and some monks had a lot of brown blood on their bodies.
"Hey, Senior Shen."
A man's voice sounded.
He Hai walked quickly to Shen Long with a respectful expression.
"You go to the outer sea to hunt monsters?"
Shen Long asked casually.
"No, I'm still a guide. There isn't much work in Zihufang City."
He Hai explained.
"Tell me about the situation outside the sea."
Shen Long ordered.
He Hai looked happy and introduced the situation outside the sea to Shen Long.
There are four major islands in the outer sea, which are also the four major cities. They are currently on Jinjiao Island, which is an island controlled by the Ximen family.
Jinjiaofang City is one of the four major cities in the outer sea. The Han family and the Ximen family are married, and many children of the Han family can be seen.
After a cup of tea, Shen Long followed He Hai to a vast bluestone square. There was a magnificent pavilion in the center of the square. On the lacquered gold plaque were written the three characters "Golden Dragon Pavilion" with flying phoenixes. It is the largest store in the city.
"Senior Shen, behind the Golden Dragon Pavilion are the Ximen Family and the Han Family, which have rich resources for cultivating immortals."
He Hai introduced.
"Wait for me here."
Shen Long gave an order and strode in.
The hall is spacious and bright, and many customers can be seen selling monster materials.
Shen Long went straight upstairs, and when he reached the eighth floor, he saw a cyan light curtain at the top of the stairs leading to the ninth floor.
There were some chairs on the eighth floor. Shen Long found an empty chair and sat down.
Not long after, a familiar man's voice came to Shen Long's ears: "Friend Daoist Shen! Long time no see."
Shen Long turned around and saw Song He walking down quickly with a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Song, it turns out to be you, long time no see."
Shen Long smiled and greeted.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shen, these are two 600-year-old green wind grass, three demon pills from the third-level early-stage green raccoon beast, and the body of a mid-level third-order blood clam beast. If you don't mind, just take it. Get off!"
Song He took out a cyan storage bag and handed it to Shen Long.
"I don't have anything good. I'll give these two green raccoon pills to fellow Taoist Song."
Shen Long took out a cyan jade box and handed it to Song He.
Song He looked excited, thanked him repeatedly, and accepted the cyan jade box.
After chatting for a while, Song He said goodbye and left.
Shen Long walked up and saw a fat old man in gold robe sitting on the chair.
"I'm Ximen Yu, what do you call fellow Taoist?"
The old man in golden robe said with a smile.
"Shen Zhu!"
Shen Long gave a false name.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shen. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help Fellow Daoist Shen."
Ximen Yu smiled.
"I'd like to buy some charts and all this stuff."
Shen Long took out a blue jade slip and handed it to Ximen Yu.
Ximen Yu swept his consciousness and said, "In addition to the elixir and fruit that nourish the soul and the third-level dragon essence and blood, there are other things."
"Fellow Taoist Ximen, I heard that third-order dragons often appear in the outer sea. Is there no blood essence and blood of third-order dragons for sale?"
Shen Long asked curiously.
"It is true that third-order dragons often appear in the outer sea, but it is not easy to kill third-order dragons. Even if they are sold, they will be sold at large auctions."
Ximen Yu explained.
Shen Long suddenly realized it and said: "Okay! Then I need the sea chart and other things."
Ximen Yu took out a golden dharma plate, entered a dharma formula, and made a series of gestures.
After a while, a tall middle-aged man walked up, took out a cyan storage bag, and handed it to Ximen Yu.
Ximen Yu handed it to Shen Long and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen inspected the goods."
Shen Long took out the contents of the storage bag, checked them carefully, and paid off the spirit stones after confirming that there were no problems.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, we are collecting these materials. If you can get them, please give us priority, especially the high-level lightning-absorbing beads and lightning-inducing beads, the elixir and fruit that nourish the soul, and the third-level dragon essence and blood. It’s no problem.”
Ximen Yu took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Shen Long.
"The third-level infant cry beast's demon elixir! It absorbs thunder beads and attracts thunder beads."
Shen Long's consciousness swept away, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Monsters, birds, and insects with thunder attributes of level 3 or above may have thunder-absorbing or lightning-attracting beads in their bodies. This is a probabilistic event. Thunder-attracting beads can be used to form formations and refine weapons, which can weaken the power of thunder tribulation, and thunder-attracting beads can guide them. The power of thunder and lightning from heaven and earth, the higher the level, the better the effect.
For monsters, beasts, birds and insects with thunder attributes, having thunder-absorbing beads or thunder-attracting beads in their bodies will be of great help to their practice. Thunder-absorbing beads can make it easier for them to survive tribulations, while thunder-attracting beads can improve their abilities. With his strength, he guides the thunder and lightning from heaven and earth to attack the enemy.
Shen Long agreed, got up and left.
He Hai took Shen Long to visit the market, bought some sea charts and demon elixirs, and asked many shopkeepers about the purchase price of third-level demon beasts to understand the market situation.
"Okay, it's none of your business. I'll reward you with this bottle of elixir. Pay attention to the things I mentioned. If there is any news, let me know immediately."
Shen Long ordered, took out a cyan porcelain bottle and handed it to He Hai.
He Hai thanked him profusely, agreed, accepted the cyan porcelain bottle and left.
Shen Long rented an independent green loft, with the three characters "Green Falcon Pavilion" written on the plaque.
The Green Falcon Pavilion has two floors. Shen Long pushed the door open and walked in. He activated the restriction and walked into a stone room.
He took out a chart and looked at it.
He planned to go out to sea to hunt monsters, and it would be best to encounter a third-level dragon. Before that, he needed to make preparations. There were too many islands in the outer sea, and no one knew how many islands there were.
