Shen Long had finished refining the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus and stored it within his body, nurturing it with his True Yuan.
He could now use the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus to substitute for a tribulation.
Once used, he would have to wait another sixty years before he could use the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus to substitute for another tribulation.
This was already quite impressive.
For items like the Tribulation-Substituting Bead or Talisman, a cultivator would have to nurture them within their body for a hundred years before they could be used to substitute for a tribulation.
There were tribulation-substituting treasures higher in grade than the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus, with more uses, shorter intervals between, and crafted from even more precious materials.
Shen Long took out a piece of blue-gold ore the size of a millstone.
Within it, one could see so blue crystals—this was Blue Glaze Gold Lang Ore he had won at an auction.
The yellow light erupted from Shen Long’s right hand as it grew thick bristles, transforming into a monkey’s paw.
He squeezed, and the Blue Glaze Gold Lang Ore shattered, spilling out so five-colored mud-like substance.
“Five Lights Divine Mud!
Now, I just don’t know which tier of Five-Colored Worm excreted it.
No wonder the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen reminded .”
Shen Long muttered to himself.
Had it not been for the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen’s reminder, he wouldn’t have bid on the Blue Glaze Gold Lang Ore, which wasn’t considered a rare Artifact Refining material.
The higher the rank of the Five-Colored Worm, the more precious the excreted Five Lights Divine Mud, which could be used to refine higher-grade treasures or Puppet Beasts.
Shen Long wasn’t an Artifact Refiner and couldn’t identify the rank of the Five Lights Divine Mud.
He took out a green jade box and placed the divine mud inside it.
Shen Long took out a Golden Gourd and stripped off his clothes.
He poured out Glazed Gold Body Liquid from the Golden Gourd, sared it over his body, and started cultivating to absorb the Spiritual Liquid and strengthen his physical body.

In a secluded manor, Fairy Qingzhi and a tall young man in a golden vestnt sat in a Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.
“Fairy Ye, it seems you’ve made quite a haul this ti,” said the young man with a smile.
Duan Long, at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, a descendant of the deputy leader of the Divine Weapon Sect.
“It’s decent.
I just don’t know if it’s the opportunity I’ve been looking for.”
Fairy Qingzhi replied with a light, joyous smile.
“Opportunity?
You ca all this way to the Divine Weapon Marketplace for an opportunity?
Now I understand why you ca so far,” Duan Long realized suddenly.
“Master Profound Mystery’s disciple divined an opportunity for .
According to the divination, I am to encounter a minor opportunity, but the Green Lotus Continent is so vast, I have no idea where my opportunity lies,” Fairy Qingzhi explained.
“Is the information that scarce?
If there’s enough information, given enough ti, you can still find the opportunity,” Duan Long remarked.
“Master Profound Mystery’s disciple is still inexperienced and couldn’t gather much information.
If I had more details, I would have found it by now,” Fairy Qingzhi sighed.
“Count yourself lucky, Fairy Ye!
Not everyone has the chance to have Master Profound Mystery’s disciple divine their fortunes,” Duan Long said enviously, then had an idea, “Fairy Ye, I’d like to trade you for an Enlightening Pill, would that be alright?”
“No problem, I’d like your help with sothing small.
I am looking for a place na containing the character for ‘python’.
Both past or present nas will do, and this is your Divine Weapon Sect’s territory,” Fairy Qingzhi requested.
“Consider it done, leave it to ,” Duan Long readily agreed.

10 years later, in the Qingyue Pavilion’s Practice Room, the doors opened, and Shen Long stepped out with a smile on his face.
He had refined the Glazed Gold Body Liquid and ingested a vial of Blood Dragon Pill, greatly enhancing the strength of his physical body.
He was ready to leave the marketplace.
Shen Long had transferred the Pursuing Spirit Beast from the Myriad Beasts Tower to the Spirit Beast Bracelet, using it to track in reverse.
He took out a red ssaging Plate, input a spell, and Xue Sheng’s voice erged, “Taoist Friend Shen, has the Flood Dragon egg hatched?”
“It has hatched.
It was severely corrupted by Yin Qi.
I soaked it in Spiritual Liquid for over ten years, boosting its vitality, and it finally hatched not long ago.
I’ve got so matters to attend to, I’ll have soone deliver it to you,” Shen Long responded.
“No problem, just have it sent to my residence,” Xue Sheng agreed smoothly.
“Alright, I’ll dispatch soone to deliver it to you right away,” Shen Long confird, then severed the connection and reached out to Shen Hai, “Book a private room at Bichun Pavilion, I’ll be there shortly.”
“Understood,”
Shen Hai’s voice sounded.
Shen Long stowed the ssaging Plate, used the Thousand Illusion Mask to change his appearance, and walked out.
He strolled around the streets, looking around and seeing nothing out of the ordinary.
After the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long appeared in front of an eighteen-story tall green pavilion.
The signboard read “Bichun Pavilion” in three large characters.
He strode in, gave Shen Hai’s na, and a green-robed attendant led him to the door of a private room on the fifth floor.
Shen Long knocked on the door.
The door opened, Shen Hai ca out, invited Shen Long in, and closed the door behind them.
Shen Long took out a green Spirit Beast Bracelet and handed it to Shen Hai to bring to Xue Sheng.
Shen Hai left the private room and strode downstairs.
Before long, there was a knock at the door.
“Co in,”
Shen Long said.
The green-robed attendant entered, set down a pot of Spiritual Tea and two plates of pastries, and then left.
Shen Long drank the Spiritual Tea and ate the pastries.
Shortly after, he took out a red ssaging Plate, input a spell, and Shen Hai’s voice sounded, “The Flood Dragon has been delivered to Xue Sheng’s hands.
He’s very pleased.”
“Understood.
Rent a new place to stay and wait for my next instruction,”
Shen Long instructed.
“Alright,”
Shen Hai agreed.
Shen Long put away the ssaging Plate and sat for a while before leaving.
After leaving Bichun Pavilion, Shen Long road the street once more.
An hour later, he stood before a nine-story high green pavilion with a signboard that read “Grand Attire Tower” in three golden characters; it was a shop specializing in selling vestnt robes and had a small reputation in the marketplace.
Shen Long walked in and saw more than a dozen young and beautiful green-robed maidens introducing vestnt robes to custors.
Shen Long walked upstairs and arrived at the seventh floor.
The floor’s decor was elegant, with many vestnt robes hanging on the walls, the lowest of which were of Spiritual Treasure grade, including those of Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure grade.
A voluptuous woman in a white dress was sitting beside a green tea table.
The white-dressed woman had delicate features and a beauty mark near one corner of her mouth.
“I am Chen Xuewei, the Shopkeeper of Grand Attire Tower.
Does the Taoist Friend wish to purchase a vestnt robe or have one tailor-made?
What style do you need?”
The white-dressed woman said, her voice sweet.
Shen Long, without any unnecessary talk, took out the Eight Directions Order; Grand Attire Tower is actually an outpost of the Eight Directions Tower.
When Chen Xuewei saw the Eight Directions Order, her expression turned serious.
She examined it carefully, and after confirming it was genuine, she described a staircase leading to the eighth floor, “Taoist Friend, please proceed upstairs.
The person you are looking for is on the eighth floor.”
She took out a circular token that flickered with white light, gave her wrist a toss, and a streak of white light shot forth, striking the staircase entrance, causing ripples to appear and revealing a gap about a zhang in size.
Shen Long put the token away and walked toward the gap.
Stepping through it, the gap healed behind him.
He arrived on the eighth floor and saw a scholarly-looking man in white, seated next to a green chessboard.
“I am Li Bin.
What information does the Taoist Friend wish to inquire about?”
The white-robed scholar said.
“I want to inquire about information on a fifth-ranked Demon Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape.
Its Essence Blood would also suffice,”
Shen Long said.
“A deposit of five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, with information to be provided within a month.
Another one million Spirit Stones will be required at that ti,”
Li Bin stated.
Shen Long agreed, took out a green Storage Bracelet, and handed it to Li Bin.
Li Bin imdiately wrote a receipt and gave it to Shen Long.
Shen Long pocketed the receipt and rose to walk downstairs.
After leaving Grand Attire Tower, Shen Long resud strolling through the streets.
