Monarch Of Time

Chapter 46 - 46 Terrifying pressure

ʼʼOur next item is a rare rank2 medicinal herb, the ʼwater element grassʼ.ʼʼ

As soon as Lan Jinjing finished speaking, Shun Longʼs eyes shone brightly as his attention was all focused on the main stage of the hall where 2 disciples were carrying a bottle with a blue-colored grass inside it.

ʼʼThe minimum bid for this water element grass will be 500 sect points and every increment has to be at least 50 sect pointsʼʼ

ʼʼ600ʼʼ

ʼʼ700ʼʼ

ʼʼ1000ʼʼ Shun Longʼs heavy voice was heard from inside the private room.

ʼʼ1100ʼʼ Surprisingly a young manʼs voice was heard from the outer seats as he competed with Shun Long for the ʼwater element grassʼ

ʼʼ2000ʼʼ Shun Long said in the same tone as before. The ʼwater element grassʼ was extremely important to him as he needed it to refine the rank 2 ʼinternal destructionʼ pill.

The young man from below contemplated for a bit but still gritted his teeth as he declared

ʼʼ2200 sect pointsʼʼ

It was obvious that this young man also needed the ʼwater element grassʼ

ʼʼ3000ʼʼ Shun Long called again making the young man in the ʼouter seatsʼ to feel dejected.

People in the hall were shocked that the price of the ʼwater element grassʼ had reached double of its market price. Usually a stalk of ʼwater element grassʼ would be sold for 1300 sect points.

Even if the price went up, it wouldnʼt exceed 1500 sect points but Shun Long had already bid 3000 sect points for it.

After Shun Longʼs bid of 3000 sect points, no one competed with him for the ʼwater element grassʼ any longer and the staff of the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ sent someone to deliver it to his private room as well as collect the payment.

After Shun Long got his hands on the ʼwater element grassʼ he mumbled

ʼʼNow all I need is the ʼfire-spirit fruitʼ.ʼʼ

Yin Xing looked like he something to say something but he didnʼt know how to say it. Shun Long turned his eyes at him and said

ʼʼIf you want to say something, just say itʼʼ

Yin Xing nodded his head as he responded

ʼʼSenior, although no one of the upper echelons of our pavilion would care even if they knew that you slightly inflated the price of the first 3 bottles of ʼQi barrier-breaking pillsʼ, Iʼm afraid that problems could arise due to senior Liʼs identity.

Senior Li is a high-ranking member in our ʼfloating cloud sectʼ and I fear that he may try to create some problems for senior when you leave our ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded at Yin Xingʼs words but he couldnʼt show any fear for Li Wei or that could expose his identity. After all Shun Long was supposedly a high-level alchemist himself as well. After thinking about it for a bit he said

ʼʼAlthough Iʼm not afraid of any problems that this Li Wei may try to cause me, I still donʼt want to waste my time with him.ʼʼ

The unconcerned manner in which Shun Long spoke had truly fooled Yin Xing who then replied

ʼʼThen if senior doesnʼt mind, how about you leave the pavilion after obtaining everything that you require.ʼʼ

Shun Long pondered for a bit before nodding his head

ʼʼNot a bad idea. Then letʼs follow your plan.ʼʼ Shun Long said in that unconcerned but heavy voice of his.

Yin Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead as he thought inside

ʼʼThank god that senior is so aloof and doesnʼt care about fighting with others over minor matters, otherwise if I had to meditate over their fight with senior Li I wouldnʼt have enough layers of skin to save myself.ʼʼ

What Yin Xing didnʼt know was that Shun Long was also trying to find a way to avoid Li Wei or that would end up exposing his identity if they were to actually fight. After all, Li Wei had definitely reached the Heaven grade being a silver grade alchemist, and Shun Long would be helpless in front of him if they were to truly fight.

ʼʼI have to become even stronger. The rate at which Iʼm progressing isnʼt enough. People like Li Wei, and even people like Yin Xing are already far stronger than me. If I want to establish a foothold in the ʼcultivation worldʼ I will need to become even stronger than these people. I will do my best to reach the Heaven grade, as only then will I be able to fight with people like Li Wei.ʼʼ

Just as Shun Long was about to sort out his thoughts, with his goal of reaching the Heaven grade, the triangular-shaped stone s.u.c.k.e.d in his consciousness, and an insanely strong force repelled everything around Shun Long.

The decorations in the room and even the couch created from the fur of a rank 2 magical beast were all blown to smithereens while Yin Xing who was at the door of the room was thrown outside like a cannonball.

Everything in a radius of 10 meters around Shun Long was repelled and the heavenly pressure that his body seemed to exude could be felt by everyone in the entire ʼAuction Hallʼ.

Everyone felt like they were about to be pulverized from this terrifying pressure as they couldnʼt even breathe properly. Even Li Wei was on his knees inside his private room due to this terrifying pressure. His eyes were full of terror as he looked towards Shun Longʼs room and thought of the man who he had wanted to take revenge against, that was now exuding such a pressure.
