Monarch Of Time

Chapter 98 - 98 Second stage of the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ

Opening the lid of the cauldron, Shun Long could see 9 sparkling pills inside.

The pills were all bright red and they emitted a strong scent of blood.

Seeing the pills, Shun Long seemed extremely happy as he collected them in a pill bottle before hearing little Blackʼs surprised voice

ʼʼMaster! Are these top-grade rank 2 pills?ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head as he held one of the pills and explained

ʼʼOriginally the ʼearth refining pillsʼ should have just reached the high-grade. But because they were refined flawlessly this time, and thanks to the ʼProfound earth fruitʼsʼ high quality, as well as the rank 3 beast core of the ʼred-fanged flame batʼ, itʼs normal to refine top-grade rank 2 pills.ʼʼ

Although Shun Long had put it like that, in reality, there was no bronze grade 3 alchemist that could refine a top-grade rank 2 pill anywhere in the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ. Even a rank 1 silver grade alchemist wouldnʼt necessarily be able to produce a top-grade rank 2 pill, let alone 9. (Authorʼs reminder: bronze grade alchemists can refine up to rank 2 pills--> which is the equivalent of the earth grade. Rank 3 pills and above can only be refined by silver grade alchemists and above. For more info remember to go back and check the auxiliary chapter)

After all, it was thanks to Shun Longʼs massive spiritual strength that had allowed him to refine rank 3 ingredients like the ʼProfound earth fruitʼ and the rank 3 batʼs beast core, which normally only silver grade alchemists or above were able to use.

After collecting the pills, Shun Long closed his eyes as he rested to recover his spent spiritual strength.

It was only 6 hours later that he opened his eyes again after his spiritual strength had completely recovered, before he started another pill concoction.

Soon, 2 days had passed and Shun Long had refined 36 glistening, bright red pills.

Looking at the 4 pill bottles in his hands Shun Long mumbled

ʼʼ33 top-grade pills and 3 high-grade ones. Iʼm curious how much my ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ will advance after I refine their energy and absorb them.ʼʼ

Just as Shun Long finished speaking, his ʼsect identifying jadeʼ had suddenly lit up as 2 words appeared on it

ʼArena challenge 17ʼ

ʼʼArena challenge 17? Fu Peizhi?ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs lips curved up into a smile after seeing the challengerʼs rank, before he put his sect jade away, completely ignoring it as he turned his eyes back to the pill bottles.

Taking out a top-grade ʼearth refining pillʼ, Shun Long could feel the immense amount of energy inside the pill. A top-grade rank 2 pill was after all more than 2 times more effective than a high-grade pill of the same rank.

The moment that Shun Long placed the pill in his mouth, he could feel it as it immediately dissolved, turning into a stream of energy that went down his throat like a burning liquid before it spread throughout his body.

Unfortunately, the energy inside the ʼearth refining pillʼ was extremely violent, and Shun Long had to withstand tremendous pain as his ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ was circulating by itself, absorbing every bit of the ʼearth refining pillʼsʼ violent energy.

After an hour, Shun Longʼs body had finally started to get used to the pain.

The ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ was absorbing the pillʼs energy like a starved beast, as it started to strengthen every single part of Shun Longʼs body once again. From Shun Longʼs blood, to his meridians, tendons and internal organs, all the way to his skin and bones.

It took 2 hours for the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ to completely absorb the energy of the first top-grade ʼearth refining pillʼ. And yet, Shun Long could feel that his body was now starving for energy as he continued absorbing a second top-grade pill.

At the same time, in front of the arenaʼs registration counter, Fu Peizhi was waiting for Shun Long to come here, as a huge crowd had gathered around him.

ʼʼSenior brother Fu, I donʼt think that this kid will come. How could he have the guts to fight against senior brother after all? He is probably hiding somewhere, afraid that you will find him and teach him a lesson.ʼʼ

Fu Peizhi nodded his head after hearing these words, as he had already started to get impatient long ago when he said

ʼʼYou are probably right, if he is bent on hiding then I canʼt do anything to him. However, if any of you see him, you must immediately inform me.ʼʼ

ʼʼDonʼt worry senior brother, if we see that kid we will immediately call for you.ʼʼ

ʼʼHe wonʼt be able to hide from us senior brother Fu, rest assured!ʼʼ

Fu Peizhi nodded his head after hearing these words, before leaving the arena.

Since Shun Long wasnʼt coming, he would look like a fool if he kept waiting here.

2 days went by in the blink of an eye before Shun Long opened his eyes.

His body and face were covered by a layer of blood, and even his yellow robes were now dyed red.

The 4 pill bottles on the floor in front of him however were completely empty.

ʼʼMaster, you advanced from the peak of the first stage in body refinement all the way to the middle of the second stage in just 2 days. I have never heard of anything like this before.ʼʼ

Shun Long smiled as he clenched his fist that now felt full of endless energy before he said

ʼʼI can feel that my body is many times stronger than before. Iʼm not sure if I can win against Fu Peizhi just yet since I donʼt know the extent of his abilities, but Iʼm certain that if I fought with Lei Pong again now that my ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ has reached the middle of the second stage, the fight would only take one punch.ʼʼ

After Shun Long finished speaking, the look in his eyes suddenly turned ice-cold as he mumbled

ʼʼItʼs finally time to settle some old accounts.ʼʼ
