“Where did you get these ores from?”

Shen Long asked curiously.

“Got them from a Gold-eating Rat.

If you’re interested, I can sell them to you for a lower price,” said the young man in green enthusiastically.

Gold-eating Rats have a particular fondness for metals.

They are tough-skinned, meaty, and ferociously bloodthirsty.

Shen Long shook his head and stood up to leave.

Back at his residence, Shen Long entered the Spirit Control Tower. frёewebnoѵēl.com

With a pat on the spirit beast pouch at his waist, ten Gold Ants flew out.

Shen Long took out a fist-sized piece of Profound Iron Ore and threw it on the ground.

The ten Gold Ants flew onto the Profound Iron Ore and started nibbling on it.

A series of cheerful hisses arose as an Iron Tail Scorpion crawled out of the Spirit Control Pool and started circling around Shen Long.

Shen Long took out a green spirit beast pouch, turned it upside down, and with a light shake, after a swath of green light swept by, a giant Mountain-Pushing Beast appeared on the ground with a terrifying hole in its head, lifeless.

The Iron Tail Scorpion’s pincers grabbed the body of the Mountain-Pushing Beast, tore off a large chunk of flesh, and put it into its mouth.

After the ten Gold Ants finished with the Profound Iron Ore, they flew back into the spirit beast pouch on Shen Long’s waist.

Shen Long left the Spirit Control Tower, took out a blue Messaging Plate, and entered a spell.

Zhao Feng’s voice rang out, “Taoist Friend Li, there’s a gathering tonight at the hour of You.

Many fellow Taoists will be there.

If you’re free, come over for a few cups of tea and a chat.”

“Sure, I’ll be there on time,” replied Shen Long assuredly, putting away the Messaging Plate and sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed to meditate and regulate his breathing.

At the hour of You, the sky darkened, and Cloud Dream Mountain was brightly lit.

Shen Long arrived on time at Zhao Feng’s courtyard and sent a Sound Transmission Talisman.

The courtyard door opened quickly, and Zhao Feng came out to welcome Shen Long inside.

Three men and two women were sitting in the Stone Pavilion chatting leisurely; both Lu Shan and Lu Yudie were present.

“This must be Taoist Friend Li!

I am Chen Handian; it’s a pleasure to meet you, Taoist Friend Li,” introduced a fair-skinned young man in white, his sleeves adorned with a golden sparrow pattern.

He had a white jade belt around his waist and a pair of golden spirit boots on his feet.

“May I ask what your relation is to the Chen Family of Golden Sparrow Valley?” asked Shen Long politely.

He had passed through Golden Sparrow Valley during his travels, where the Chen family ancestors hailed from the Spirit Control Sect.

“Indeed, I am from the Chen Family of Golden Sparrow Valley.

Has Taoist Friend Li visited Golden Sparrow Valley?” Chen Handian asked with curiosity.

“I have.

I heard that your ancestors are from the Spirit Control Sect.

Are you planning to join the Spirit Control Sect, Taoist Friend Chen?” Shen Long inquired with curiosity.

Chen Handian nodded and said, “Exactly, I hope the difficulty of the Ascending Immortal Conference this time is not too high.

What about Taoist Friend Li?”

“I’ll see which sect’s test I can pass.

If I can enter the Xuanyang Sect, that would be ideal,” Shen Long said.

He had a Spirit Control Token; at the very least, he could join the Spirit Control Sect.

However, he wanted to try and see if he could pass the test of the Xuanyang Sect; it’s always cooler under a big tree.

“Hehe, I am Liu Han, and I also wish to join the Xuanyang Sect, though I’m not sure if I’ll get my wish.

The Xuanyang Sect’s requirements for disciples have always been the strictest,” said a thick-browed, dark-faced man with a chuckle, his face filled with longing.

“In any case, all five major powers are recruiting disciples.

If we can’t get into the Xuanyang Sect, we can always try the tests of the other powers; it won’t be a waste of time,” said a voluptuous woman in a purple dress nonchalantly.

“And you are?” Shen Long asked politely.

“I am Liu Yu,” introduced the woman in the purple dress.

They talked and drank tea, the conversation revolving around the Ascending Immortal Conference.

Chen Handian urged them to join the Spirit Control Sect, but no one outright refused or accepted; whether they could join was not up to them, as they had to pass the test.

An hour and a half later, everyone went back to their own homes.

“Taoist Friend Li, please wait!”

Lu Yudie called out to Shen Long.

“Is there something you need, Fairy Lu?”

Shen Long asked.

“Taoist Friend Li, we’ve killed a middle-stage first-order Iron Tail Scorpion.

I’d like to exchange pointers with you.

If you win, the Iron Tail Scorpion is yours,” said Lu Yudie, her face filled with yearning.

She wanted to spar with Shen Long to assess her own strength.

With Lu Shan’s help in hunting monster beasts, he wouldn’t be able to assist during the assessment of the five major forces.

After a moment of thought, Shen Long agreed.

They headed to the Martial Training Ground where some cultivators were still dueling, creating a lively scene.

Shen Long and Lu Yudie stepped up onto a green stone platform, and a cyan light screen emerged, covering the entire platform.

“Taoist Friend Li, be careful, I won’t hold back,” Lu Yudie said as a cyan light screen appeared, casting a spell instantly.

Shen Long nodded slightly, a blue water screen rising close to his body, and with a flick of his right hand, a water-tank-sized red fireball flew out, smashing towards Lu Yudie.

Lu Yudie’s right hand flicked upward, sending out a two-foot-long yellow Earth Cone flying to meet it; with a loud bang, the red fireball shattered upon collision with the Earth Cone.

With a raise of her left hand, a half-zhang-long massive Wind Blade shot out, instantly appearing in front of Shen Long, striking the blue water screen, causing ripples to form on it.

“Wind Blade Technique Great Perfection!” Shen Long frowned, not daring to be careless.

He took out two defensive talismans, slapped them on his body, and immediately, a cyan light screen and a golden light screen appeared, forming three protective circles.

He flicked his left hand, and another water-tank-sized red fireball flew out; with a raise of his right hand, a three-foot-long white Ice Cone shot out straight towards Lu Yudie.

Lu Yudie released a yellow Earth Cone with her left hand and cast a massive Wind Blade with her right hand.

The two clashed with their spells, casting them instantly, soon attracting the attention of many Qi Refining Cultivators.

“Look quick, they’re competing in Art Techniques, casting spells instantly!”

“The speed of casting is too fast, isn’t it?

This is practically a Human-Shaped Magical Instrument.”

“Great Perfection in a spell isn’t just about instant casting, but the power also increases considerably,”

······

The Qi Refining Cultivators discussed animatedly, each expressing their own views.

Ice Cones, Earth Cones, Wind Blades, and fireballs collided in succession, with continuous explosive noises and flashes of spiritual light.

Shen Long and Lu Yudie didn’t use any Magic Artifacts, continuously trading spells with each other.

Lu Yudie’s brows were tightly furrowed, wondering how long it would take to win in such a spell contest.

With a full release of cyan light from her right hand, she flicked it towards the void, sending out a zhang-long massive Wind Blade that flashed and struck the blue water screen around Shen Long.

The blue water screen caused another set of ripples and dimmed, becoming faint.

“Take my Fire Thunder Orb!” Shen Long shouted, throwing a red object.

Hearing the words “Fire Thunder Orb,” Lu Yudie’s face tightened.

She quickly slapped the purple jade locket on her chest, which immediately radiated a brilliant purple glow, and a thick purple light screen appeared, forming a second protective circle.

The red object hit the cyan light screen, emitting a dull sound—it was just a red ore.

Lu Yudie inwardly cursed, as a house-sized massive fireball came crashing down.

Amid the resounding booms, rolling flames engulfed Lu Yudie’s figure, and even behind two layers of defense, she could feel an astonishing heat.

Without a moment’s rest, another house-sized massive fireball came crashing down, and the flames intensified.

A massive Wind Blade shot out, and with a flash of cyan light beneath Shen Long’s feet, he turned into a lingering image, dodging it.

With a raise of his right hand, another massive fireball was launched, hurtling towards Lu Yudie.

Lu Yudie tried to dodge, but a thick green vine burst from the ground, entwining around her right foot.

The massive fireball came crashing down, hitting the cyan light screen and exploding on impact, the flames surging fiercely.

Shen Long released one massive fireball after another, hurling them at Lu Yudie.

“Wind-Riding Skill Great Perfection, Entwining Technique Great Perfection, he has actually cultivated five first-order spells to Great Perfection, how incredible!”

“Who is this guy?

So formidable.”

“Is this someone from a cultivating family?

He looks so young, yet to have five first-order spells at Great Perfection is just monstrous.”

The Qi Refining Cultivators were all surprised, discussing among themselves.

“Taoist Friend Li, stop, I admit defeat,” Lu Yudie’s voice came from within the flames.
