135: Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage_1 135: Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage_1 Shen Long only knew a few of the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Qin Yuwei arranged a seat for him towards the back, and he sat down.
“You must be Taoist Friend Shen!”
A portly old man in a green robe spoke up.
“Indeed, I am.
May I ask who you are?”
Shen Long inquired politely.
“This is Qingzhu Hermit, Taoist Friend Liu, who is also an alchemist,”
Qin Yuwei introduced.
“So, you are Taoist Friend Liu.”
Shen Long greeted with clasped hands.
Shen Long and Qingzhu Hermit began to chat about the art of alchemy, exchanging knowledge.
As more guests arrived at the Azure Stone Plaza, the Qin family disciples arranged seating and conversed with the guests.
After the ti it took to brew a pot of tea, a loud bell rang out.
“The auspicious ti has co!
Please welco the clan leader.”
The mont the words ended, a loud roar of a beast echoed.
A red light appeared in the sky, descending slowly.
The red light revealed a Red Giant Lion with a fierce gaze and double wings on its back.
“A Second Stage Late Period Fire-Winged Fla Lion!”
Shen Long recognized this Spirit Beast.
He didn’t expect the clan leader of the Qin Family to keep a Spirit Beast, thinking it was a Ghost Creature!
A rosy-cheeked elder in a gray robe sat on the back of the Fire-Winged Fla Lion, his square face and big eyes full of vitality.
Qin Guangwei, the clan leader of the Qin Family, Foundation Establishnt Late Stage.
Shen Long and others stood up to greet Qin Guangwei.
Qin Guangwei responded to each greeting and sat down at the front position.
The guests presented their congratulatory gifts, with Shen Long offering two bottles of Yellow Apricot Pills which were not particularly valuable.
The most precious thing he carried was the Spirt Control Tower, aside from that was the Minor Five Elents Formation.
According to the market value, this set of Minor Five Elents Formation was worth at least fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
Yang Qingshu and the others weren’t carrying much wealth.
Apart from their personal expenses and the cost of cultivating Ghost Creatures, this was also related to the Minor Five Elents Formation.
After all gifts had been presented, Qin Guangwei raised his cup and said, “Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday.
I toast to everyone!”
Shen Long and the others raised their cups in response and drank the contents.
With a cup of beverage downed, the crowd started to chat about various topics naturally revolving around cultivation.
They also ntioned so strange and interesting stories from the Cultivation Realm of Zhao Country.
“Taoist Friend Qin, I heard that you slew a Second Stage Late Period Ghostly Python at the Hundred Ghosts Tomb!”
Qingzhu Hermit asked curiously.
The Hundred Ghosts Tomb is a dangerous place in the Cultivation Realm of Zhao Country, inhabited by a large number of Ghost Creatures.
Even Foundation Establishnt Cultivators could perish there, although it is considerably less perilous than the Profound Yin Valley.
Many cultivators choose to hunt Monster Beasts or Ghost Creatures there.
“Taoist Friend Liu is very well-inford!
I haven’t even told my own clan.”
Qin Guangwei said, surprised.
“A few fellow Taoists saw the heroic deed of Taoist Friend Qin slaying the Ghostly Python.
One of them is a good friend of mine, which is how I learned of it.”
Qingzhu Hermit explained.
“I heard that a Second Stage Flood Dragon appeared in the Hundred Ghosts Tomb.”
Shen Long spoke up.
“That was many years ago.
Flood Dragons are rare to begin with, and a Second Stage Flood Dragon, even more so.”
Qin Guangwei added.
“Right, recently, the Hundred Ghosts Sect mobilized many people to capture soone aggressively.
They seem to be looking for soone.
With Taoist Friend Qin’s inford network, do you know the purpose of the Hundred Ghosts Sect’s actions?”
Qingzhu Hermit casually inquired.
“I heard they are searching for the remnants of the Yu Family.
There’s also a rumor they are apprehending Evil Cultivators.”
Qin Guangwei replied.
“The Yu Family remnants?
Which Yu Family?”
Qingzhu Hermit was slightly taken aback.
“The Yu Family that was once the number one cultivating family in Zhao Country!
Now, the Liu Family has taken that title.”
Qin Guangwei answered.
“The Yu Family has been annihilated for over two hundred years, and the Hundred Ghosts Sect is capturing their remnants?
That’s too strange!”
Shen Long comnted, having not heard about this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have impersonated a mber of the Yu Family.
“It’s said that the Yu Family had so treasure, but the specifics are unclear.
There are rumors that the hunt for Yu Family remnants is just a smokescreen to conceal their true intent.
As for what that is, I’m not certain.”
Qin Guangwei stated.
“A treasure!”
Shen Long’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
“The Yu Family has been destroyed for over two hundred years.
If there really was a treasure, it would have been taken long ago, not left until now.
It’s probably false news spread by the Hundred Ghosts Sect to cover up their real motives.
They’ve done this sort of thing before, claiming to be capturing Evil Cultivators in a large-scale hunt, only to expose the intelligence network of the Spirt Control Sect.”
Qin Yuwei said with so dissatisfaction.
The Hundred Ghosts Sect is the largest sect in Zhao Country and acts quite dominantly, with many cultivators, including Qin Yuwei, holding grudges against them.
“Enough about that.
Let’s talk about sothing else!”
Qin Guangwei quickly changed the topic and began discussing the art of controlling ghosts.
Shen Long, unable to join in, listened to others’ casual conversation.
Half an hour later, the chat ended, and Qingzhu Hermit suggested an exchange of cultivation resources.
Shen Long and the others strongly agreed.
Qin Guangwei brought out dozens of items, among which was the undiluted essence blood of a Second Stage Flood Dragon.
“Taoist Friend Qin, I’ll trade you a Yin Pearl from a Middle Stage Ghost Creature and a piece of five-hundred-year-old Profound Yin Wood for the Second Stage Flood Dragon Essence Blood,”
Shen Long proposed.
When a Ghost Creature is slain, it leaves behind a Yin Pearl, sowhat akin to a Monster Beast’s Demon Core.
The Ghost Creature can advance by consuming the Yin Pearl.
As for Profound Yin Wood, it was a material Shen Long had obtained from eliminating Yang Qingshu and other Evil Cultivators.
Qin Guangwei agreed to the trade, and Shen Long successfully obtained the Flood Dragon Essence Blood.
More than an hour later, the exchange was complete, and the guests gradually departed, with Shen Long also taking his leave.
Back at the marketplace, Shen Long visited several Spirit dicine Shops, purchasing the spiritual dicines required to concoct the Blood Flood Dragon Pill before returning to his residence.
He entered a secret chamber, sat cross-legged, and took out the Scarlet Crow Cauldron and alchemy materials, beginning the process of concocting the Blood Flood Dragon Pill.

The Hundred Ghosts Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, with heavy Yin Qi filling the skies, winds howling intermittently, and the constant cries of ghosts and wolves echoing through the air.
