Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race-Chapter 1397 - 1401: Fairy Jinpa and Fire Phoenix Immortal

Chu Buyu was full of smiles. The Xuanhuo Chi had advanced to a top-grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact, significantly enhancing her strength.

"Not bad. You continue to set up the stall and see if you can exchange for more good items."

Shen Long instructed.

They hadn’t picked up a good bargain in many years and managed to hit a jackpot this time.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Chan readily agreed.

"Madam, shall we set off? Hopefully, we can get something good in exchange."

Shen Long said with a smile.

During this period, they had met quite a few Great Luo Golden Immortals and were preparing to attend a gathering hosted by the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Chaoyuan Sect.

They left the Yunlang Pavilion and walked out.

As they arrived at the entrance of Chaoyuan Garden, a loud male voice came from behind: "Taoist Friend Shen, Madam Chu, you are right on time!"

Shen Long turned his head to see a burly man in a yellow shirt approaching, exuding a strong demon aura.

"Taoist Friend Long, isn’t Madam Wang with you?"

Shen Long asked.

The burly man in yellow was the Yellow Dragon Immortal Monarch, a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal True Dragon that had not cultivated into a Divine Beast.

"Madam Wang is preoccupied and couldn’t come. Let’s head inside together! I heard that Fairy Jinpa and Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch will also attend this gathering, I’ve been wanting to meet them."

The Yellow Dragon Immortal Monarch said expectantly, striding into Chaoyuan Garden.

The guards did not stop them and allowed the three to enter Chaoyuan Garden.

The Yellow Dragon Immortal Monarch was very familiar with the layout of Chaoyuan Garden, clearly having come here many times.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at a quiet courtyard, featuring a green stone pavilion inside.

A dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals sat within the pavilion, having a conversation, with Li Heng among them.

"You must be Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch! I am Long Pan."

The Yellow Dragon Immortal Monarch introduced himself, focusing on a tall man in a red shirt.

"I have heard of Taoist Friend Long’s prowess, the Zhang Family Dao Clan battled the Evil God Race, and you slew three Great Luo Golden Immortals."

Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch praised.

"I am Shen Zong (I am Chu Huan), greetings, fellow Taoists."

Shen Long and Chu Buyu introduced themselves.

The cultivators in turn stated their names, Li Heng invited them to sit down for some tea and discussion.

When talking about the Evil God Race, Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch said, "I heard two Human Cultivators caused quite a commotion in the Evil God Race’s territory and wiped out the Heavenly Cunning Race."

"Rumor has it that they were after the Heavenly Dao Fruit and some kind of Dao Material, which led to the destruction of the Heavenly Cunning Race."

Li Heng stated.

"Just rumors, you can’t take them seriously. It’s rumored that Taoist Friend Xu’s Life-Bound Spirit Bird has cultivated into a Divine Beast."

Shen Long dismissed it.

The news of the Heavenly Cunning Race’s eradication had spread throughout the Immortal Realm, known by all.

"Just rumors, True Spirits are just a step away from becoming Divine Beasts, but how many True Spirits actually manage to cultivate into Divine Beasts?"

Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch sighed, his face showing worry.

"Taoist Friend Xu made a good point. If Divine Beasts were easy to cultivate, they wouldn’t be so rare in the Immortal Realm."

A delightful female voice agreed.

Just then, a graceful woman in a golden dress entered, her features like a painting, her skin as fair as snow.

Fairy Jinpa, adept in the Divine Soul Law, has been famous for many years.

"Taoist Friend Li, I was delayed by some matters, my apologies."

Fairy Jinpa said in an apologetic tone.

"Glad you could make it, Fairy Chen, please have a seat."

Li Heng invited Fairy Jinpa to sit and personally poured her a cup of tea.

"Long time no see, congratulations on advancing to the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, Fairy Chen. I’m still stuck at the bottleneck."

Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch congratulated, looking envious.

"Breaking through the bottleneck cannot be rushed, Taoist Friend Xu, no need to worry too much, when it comes naturally, the bottleneck will be resolved."

Fairy Jinpa comforted.

"I still have a long lifespan, the issue is the minor celestial tribulations, I am not very confident about overcoming the next one."

Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch sighed.

Great Luo Golden Immortals stuck at the bottleneck may remain so for hundreds of millions of years if unfortunate.

Every ten million years, a Great Luo Golden Immortal must undergo a minor celestial tribulation, which grows more powerful with each occurrence.

During the casual conversation, Shen Long noticed that many Great Luo Golden Immortals desired something to weaken the minor celestial tribulation, with the Nine-Star Jade Clear Fruit being particularly sought after.

Several Great Luo Golden Immortals inquired with Li Heng about the Tianluo Immortal Brew, as the Chaoyuan Sect’s top was offering it in exchange for other resources.

After more than two hours, Li Heng felt the chat was substantial enough and proposed a resource exchange, to which none of the cultivators objected.

Li Heng presented over a hundred items, including Fourth Rank Immortal Pills, ancient Immortal Wood over a hundred million years old, Fourth Rank Immortal Materials, and so on.

"Taoist Friend Li, is that gourd containing the Tianluo Immortal Brew?"

Fairy Jinpa’s gaze settled on a golden gourd, full of curiosity.

Li Heng nodded, "It’s for exchanging resources to aid the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal Phase True Spirit into a Divine Beast; we already have the Qiankun Heavenly Beast Fruit."

The Chaoyuan Sect now had over a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals. Cultivating a Divine Beast would significantly elevate their strength.

With these words, several Great Luo Golden Immortals communicated with Li Heng through divine messages, presenting items for him to inspect.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu weren’t interested; they had passed their first minor celestial tribulation and possessed plenty of Nine-Star Jade Clear Fruits.

In the end, the Tianluo Immortal Brew was taken by Fire Phoenix Immortal Monarch. What he exchanged for it remained unknown.

The majority of items Li Heng brought out were exchanged; after his turn, a Great Luo Golden Immortal stood up and offered items for exchange.

Each Great Luo Golden Immortal present brought out items for trade in succession. Shen Long and Chu Buyu didn’t fancy any of these items; they had formed connections with the Zhang Family Dao Clan’s Great Luo Golden Immortals and obtained items from the Heavenly Evil City’s Treasure Vault, having seen all the good stuff.

After half an hour, Shen Long rose to his feet, presenting over a hundred items.

Tenth Grade Dao Pills, Dao Soldiers of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Phase, Nine-Star Jade Dragon Fruit, Fourth Rank Immortal Pills aiding cultivation into Divine Beasts, Nine Xian Milk, and so forth.

"Exchanging for divine soul type Fourth Rank Immortal Materials, or items of equivalent value."

Shen Long announced.

Divine soul type Fourth Rank Immortal Materials were quite rare; it wasn’t easy to upgrade the Qian Gold Annihilation Soul Needle to a top-grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact.

Several Great Luo Golden Immortals brought out items for Shen Long to inspect and communicated with him telepathically.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I’ll exchange two pieces of Golden Universe Immortal Crystal for one drop of Nine Xian Milk and a Nine Mysterious Beast Essence Pill, how about it?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The Yellow Dragon Immortal Monarch asked via telepathy, handing Shen Long a green storage bracelet.

"Golden Universe Immortal Crystal?"

Shen Long scanned it with his divine sense and agreed to the exchange with the Yellow Dragon Immortal Monarch.

In addition to this, Shen Long exchanged with another Great Luo Golden Immortal for a piece of Golden Soul Immortal Crystal.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the exchange concluded, and the cultivators departed one after another, leaving only Li Heng and a curvaceous woman in a white dress.

"What’s the background of Taoist Friend Shen and Madam Chu? They had quite a few good items."

The woman in the white dress was full of curiosity.

"I don’t know. They claim to be from the Blood Rainbow Immortal Domain governed by the Demon Race, but the truth is uncertain."

Li Heng replied.

"Could they be Shen Long and Chu Buyu?"

The woman in the white dress speculated.

Li Heng’s expression tightened, and he said, "I don’t know; it doesn’t concern us. Don’t harbor any intentions towards them."

Shen Long and Chu Buyu caused a substantial commotion in the Evil God Race’s territory; the Evil God Race had issued a bounty, but the matter was eventually unresolved. Li Heng dared not provoke Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

The woman in the white dress nodded, saying no more.
