Monarch Of Time

Chapter 100 - 100 Challenging Xiao Juyan

ʼʼSenior!!ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head at Yin Xing, gesturing for him to sit, but Yin Xing remained standing as he said

ʼʼSenior! Iʼm happy that I can meet you again. Are you here to sell something or do you wish to purchase something this time? Please tell me if I can be of any assistance to you.ʼʼ

Yin Xing was very excited to meet Shun Long again. Since Shun Long had gifted him the recipe for the improved rank 1 ʼQi barrier-breaking pillʼ, Yin Xingʼs understanding about alchemy had completely changed. He wasnʼt that far off from reaching the standards of a rank 1 silver grade alchemist as well and even his status in the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ had increased. Of course, his cultivation also had to catch up if he wanted to become a silver grade alchemist.

Shun Long nodded his head as he said in a deep voice

ʼʼIndeed, I am here today because I wish to auction something through the ʼTreasure Pavilionʼ.ʼʼ

As he finished his words, Shun Long took out the last wooden barrel from the ʼStone of Timeʼ and as he opened the barrel top he said

ʼʼThis is a wine that I have specially fermented for more than 100 years using many precious herbs. Not only is its taste exceptional, but it can even improve the cultivation of the person who consumes it.ʼʼ

Yin Xing could barely understand Shun Longʼs words at this point, as his mind had already been swept by the intoxicating scent of the wine.

However, as he heard Shun Longʼs last sentence, he couldnʼt hide his shock as he asked

ʼʼSe-Se-Senior! Are you serious? The wine can help improve someoneʼs cultivation?ʼʼ

Shun Long smiled as he nodded his head and said

ʼʼOf course, the rise in cultivation will be different depending on the cultivation of the person who drinks it. The effects after all, will be much bigger to an earth grade cultivator, while a Spirit realm expert will barely feel any increment in his cultivation base.ʼʼ

Yin Xing looked at Shun Long in disbelief before he turned his head to look at the barrel of wine.

ʼʼTry it and you will understand.ʼʼ

Yin Xing carefully took the small cup from the table before he proceeded to drink the wine inside it. After tasting the wine, his expression alternated from joy, and excitement to incredulity and disbelief.

Shun Long then sealed the barrel again with its top as he asked

ʼʼWhat do you think?ʼʼ

Yin Xing came back to his senses as he heard Shun Longʼs words and said in disbelief

ʼʼSenior, this is the best wine I have ever tasted in my life! I donʼt think that I can ever forget this taste. If you really plan on auctioning it, then in 4 days that the monthly auction will take place, the wine will definitely be the most valuable item.ʼʼ

ʼʼI indeed plan to auction it, however I donʼt need sect points. I only want spirit stones.ʼʼ

Yin Xing was stunned, but after thinking about it for a bit, he thought that these words made sense. Not only was this wineʼs taste heavenly, but it was made from rare medicinal herbs that could improve oneʼs cultivation. Yin Xing himself had never heard of a wine that could improve someoneʼs cultivation but he had personally experienced it today.

Nodding his head he then said

ʼʼDonʼt worry senior! I will take care of this. I will also make sure that our pavilion will let the word spread of seniorʼs wine so that even more people will bid for it. I estimate that the Elders from the powerful families of the sect will definitely fight to get their hands on it.ʼʼ

Shun Long accepted Yin Xingʼs offer as he said

ʼʼIn that case, I will return in 4 days to participate in the auction.ʼʼ

Yin Xing bowed as he accompanied Shun Long until the pavilionʼs entrance, before he hurried to inform the higher-ups about this.

Shun Long then found an alley to change back to his normal robes, before heading directly to the arena.

After walking for the time it takes to eat a meal (30-45 minutes), he had already arrived in front of the arena.

Surprisingly, there were some disciples outside, who recognized Shun Longʼs face after having seen his fights last time, and word quickly started spreading that Shun Long had returned to the arena.

Walking in front of the registration counter, Shun Long found the same woman waiting there. The woman was much more polite and respectful to Shun Long after hearing that this person had defeated Lei Pong, but her jaw almost dropped when she heard the reason that he had arrived today

ʼʼIʼm here to challenge Xiao Juyan.ʼʼ

The crowd that had gathered around Shun Long and was waiting to find out who he was going to challenge, instantly exploded in fervor.

The woman couldnʼt help but ask again as if she wanted to verify it

ʼʼD-Do you mean, the one ranked 93rd in the arena rankings? That Xiao Juyan?ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head as he took out his ʼsect identifying jadeʼ.

The woman accepted it with disbelief before issuing the challenge.

Inside a private room near the ʼinner cityʼ, Xiao Juyanʼs jade lit up, shocking him as he read the words on it.

ʼArena challenge 101ʼ.

He had already heard about the Shun Long who had defeated Lei Pong, as well as about him not accepting Fu Peizhiʼs challenge. And now this person was challenging him?

Xiao Juyan then stopped cultivating, as he left his room and walked towards the arena.

Word quickly spread through the ʼouter cityʼ that Shun Long had challenged the person ranked 93rd in the top 100 rankings, and even Fu Peizhi and Ren Gui had soon heard of it.

Fu Peizhi was silently heading towards the arena as soon as he was informed about it, but Ren Gui had a frosty smile on his face as he said

ʼʼSo you are finally willing to appear? I will make sure to teach you a good lesson then!ʼʼ

Less than an hour later, Xiao Juyan arrived in front of the arena entrance, with a huge crowd trailing behind him.
