Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Shen Fei had no direct sense of his own strength, but he did take some time to roam around Gouchen Heaven and indeed encountered some things.

He saved some people, discovered that the Abyssal Creatures planned to sacrifice a city to open a passageway, and also found that there seemed to be Demons in this Dao Realm, though they were not referred to as such.

After all, the Abyss can grant power not only to Professionals but also to others; previously, the Undying Phoenix Race was the same way, and many Heavenly Prides from South Pole Heaven infiltrated the Undying Phoenix Race to investigate this matter.

While at the Taiyi Dao Lineage, Shen Fei actually saw many similar tasks, but he didn’t take them, and the Contribution Points earned from putting his life on the line were not even comparable to what Shennong could make in a day of elixir crafting.

The profits generated from managing his assets were significantly higher than from taking those tasks.

The main reason was that Gouchen Heaven also had auctions, jointly organized by the Gouchen Palace, Human Emperor Palace, and Turtle Spirit Dao Lineage. With Feng Yi backing the resources of Human Emperor Palace, Shen Fei naturally could take them.

But the other two factions needed to use them themselves or exchange them for desired resources through auctions, which was naturally different.

Shen Fei discovered that many Grotto Heavens still required True Immortal items to exchange for, and the higher the level, the more the transaction methods leaned towards bartering.

Often, it was Grotto Heaven for Grotto Heaven.

At a Gouchen auction, Shen Fei even exchanged for a Grotto Heaven Fragment suitable for Shennong, named ’Ten Thousand Medicine Cave Heaven’, and gave it to Shennong for fusion.

Shennong said that this seemed to be Shennong’s original Grotto Heaven.

It was divided into six parts: Hundred Herbs, Ten Thousand Medicines, Heartbreak, Five Grains, Farming Time, and Earthly Materials.

This intrigued Shen Fei, as he had thought Shennong’s Grotto Heaven was the Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto, but it turned out Shennong had his own Grotto Heaven.

Could it be that it was only after Shennong achieved Great Ashura that the Grotto Heaven turned into the Fire Cloud Grotto?

Not long after Shen Fei returned to the Human Emperor Palace, news came from the East Sea Dragon Race about the Dragon Maiden; she had now become a True Immortal, verified her bloodline at the Dragon Gate, and became the most powerful among the Dragon Sons.

Shortly after Shen Fei returned to Fuxi City of the Human Emperor Palace, Ji Yanling visited again. This time, the news she brought invigorated Shen Fei.

A private exchange meeting involving the top True Immortals of Gouchen Heaven and even a few Profound Immortals was about to be held.

Its scale far exceeded ordinary auctions, with participants being superpowers truly controlling core resources; the aim was to share what they lack and exchange for rare treasures critical for personal breakthrough or Companion Spirit enhancement.

”This exchange meeting has an extremely high entry threshold, and only those with deep backgrounds or outstanding strength can enter within.

Given your current fame and with Senior Feng and the backing of my Human Emperor Palace, of course, you are eligible to participate.”

Ji Yanling explained, ”I’ve heard you’ve been seeking rare time-space-type materials.

Top-grade items hard to find at auctions might be found there, and direct bartering can be even more efficient.”

Shen Fei knew this was an excellent opportunity to quickly complete Chi You and others’ Term Summoning Spirit three times, so he immediately agreed.

He asked Shennong to urgently craft a batch of specially designed elixirs, far surpassing ordinary efficacy and infused with the essence of Sweet Dew from Merciful Ferry and Universal Salvation, to serve as his hard currency for participation in the exchange.

The exchange meeting took place deep within a small, independently established Grotto Heaven inside Gouchen Palace.

Upon entering, Shen Fei felt no fewer than twenty strong True Immortal auras, as well as a few unfathomable, abyss-like Profound Immortal’s Divine Thoughts scanning over.

The venue was arranged simply and quietly. Participants either sat cross-legged on prayer mats or stood before light screens displaying the information of their offerings, intertwining Divine Thoughts in silent yet fierce haggling.

Shen Fei did not rush into action but quietly observed. Quickly, he discovered his target.

A ”Core of Space-Time”, shrouded in deep space ripples and seemingly containing a star river within, which Little Pu said could elevate her Nine Realms again.

And the holder was a Profound Immortal with an aura as sharp as a sword, from the Turtle Spirit Dao Lineage.

Shen Fei approached and, through Divine Thought communication, directly displayed three bottles of specially designed elixirs.

At first, the Profound Immortal paid no attention, but upon probing the elixirs with his Divine Thought and sensing the vast, pure Life Essence and the faint Law-level healing and purification power, his eyes flashed with excitement.

For frontline powerhouses who battled the Abyss long-term and constantly faced pollution erosion.

Such elixirs, capable of instantly restoring peak condition and even dispelling deep curses, were invaluable.

After a silent exchange, the Core of Space-Time smoothly came into Shen Fei’s possession.

Next were the ”Time Amber”, filled with the aura of time sedimentation, the ”Candle Dragon Scale”, and the ”Thunderstruck Jade Marrow”, capable of bearing the essence of furious thunder.

These three top-tier Summoning Spirit materials, capable of triggering bloody storms externally, were all exchanged for by the holders, enticed by Shen Fei’s continually produced specially designed elixirs.

Shen Fei had a clear goal and acted decisively; with the overwhelming allure of the elixirs, the exchange process was exceedingly smooth.

Not only did he exchange for materials for the Term Summoning Spirit, but he also obtained materials he thought might be useful later.

In just a few hours, Shen Fei almost exhausted his supply of elixirs, but the mountain of rare materials he brought back was substantial.

After returning to Human Emperor Palace, Shen Fei summoned the Jasper Pool’s ”Eye of the Candle Dragon”, just in time using the Time Amber and Candle Dragon Scale to perform the third Summoning Spirit for the Jasper Pool’s ”Eye of the Candle Dragon”.

The Jasper Pool’s tier was once again elevated to Dao Tier Two.

Not long after.

The Dragon Maiden’s message arrived: ”Master, the time is ripe.

That old dragon has completed his seclusion and will head alone to the ’Dragon Burial Ancient Abyss’ in the depths of East Sea in three days to forge a Lifebound Dragon Artifact.

That is his power cycle’s weak point, and it is the only chance to slay him avoiding the grand formation of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

The route and the internal prohibition nodes of the Ancient Abyss have all been identified.”

Cold light flashed in Shen Fei’s eyes; this Dragon Race was the one that initially tried to open a passage to Blue Star.

Though now the East Sea Dragon Race had formed an alliance obligation with Blue Star.

But those who opened the passage back then inadvertently let the Abyss in as well.

Many Wu Xia Professionals perished in the Dragon Abyss, which Shen Fei hadn’t forgotten, and this dragon was always testing the Dragon Maiden.

Now it was time to deal with him.

Shen Fei estimated for a moment; this time, he couldn’t blame it on the Divine Court of Light.

Just blame it on the Abyss.

After all, Chi You controlled so many Abyss True Immortals.

”Saintess, Little Pu, move with me. Chi You, hold the line here, prepare to assist at any time. Slay the dragon!”

Three days later, deep in the East Sea, Dragon Burial Ancient Abyss.

The seawater in this place appeared with a strange dark red hue, with massive dragon bone fossils stretching out like mountains exposed on the seabed, exuding an ancient, desolate, and ominous aura.

Powerful chaotic space currents and natural prohibitions formed by the Dragon Race’s grievances littered the area, making it difficult even for ordinary True Immortals to make progress.

A figure exuding ancient Dragon’s Might cautiously navigates the numerous restrictions, flying towards an altar boiling with Dragon Qi in the deepest part of the Ancient Abyss.

It was Ao Qing, the True Immortal Elder from the East Sea Dragon Race who once set sights on Blue Star.
