Monarch Of Time

Chapter 239 - 239 Finding the ʼPurple wind ice fruitʼ

Although Liu Mei didnʼt know why Shun Long wanted to go to the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ, she didnʼt choose to ask.

Instead, her hands were still wrapped around his waist as the 2 of them toured through the western part of the Heavenʼs Dome city.

As always, carriages that were dragged by powerful magic beasts would fill the vast roads of the Heavenʼs Dome city at all times.

Shun Long would sometimes notice the pedestrians stealing a look at the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ, who was walking neither too fast nor too slow.

A few minutes later, the black panther had arrived in front of a large, luxurious building, that seemed to have been created entirely from pure gold.

3 shining, eye-catching words, were written in black on top of the building

ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ

This was the headquarters of one of the largest powers in the Heavenʼs Dome city, and perhaps even the Night star continentʼs.

Of course, the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼsʼ building wasnʼt made from pure gold. Instead, it was gold that had been processed by powerful formation masters for many years, before they engraved it with defensive runes, as well as many auxiliary runes that would make it more sturdy.

There was a rumor going around in the Heavenʼs Dome city, that the walls of the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ were even sturdier than the Shengtian dynastyʼs palace walls.

Without any delay, the black panther walked towards the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼsʼ entrance.

The 10 golden-armored Nascent soul stage guards who were standing at the entrance, felt some apprehension after sensing the black pantherʼs peak rank 5 strength.

After all, although they had seen peak rank 5 magic beasts enter the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ before, these beasts were always extremely rare.

But of course, unless someone broke the rules by trying to steal or they started a fight, the guards wouldnʼt do anything to stop them from entering inside.

A sea of people appeared in Shun Longʼs and Liu Meiʼs eyes as soon as they passed through the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼsʼ gates.

The interior of the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼsʼ was very easy to navigate through.

The counters and the private rooms each had a sign above them, indicating what was inside each room and counter respectively.

Shun Long and Liu Mei walked on foot, with the black panther following behind them, as they searched for counters and rooms that sold medicinal herbs.

The ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ had 3 rooms dedicated to alchemy, that sold both medicinal herbs as well as parts of powerful magic beasts.

After searching through the first room however, Shun Long didnʼt seem to have found what he was looking for, and just a few breaths of time later he exited it as he continued towards the second.

The first room seemed to only contain rank 1 and rank 2 medicinal herbs, and neither of them was particularly attractive to Shun Longʼs eyes.

As for the rank 1 and rank 2 magic beasts, they were even worse off in Shun Longʼs eyes.

The second room instead contained rank 3, along with a few rank 4 medicinal herbs, while the corpses of magic beasts seemed to have been better than the previous room.

Although Shun Long wasnʼt interested in the rank 3 herbs, he did purchase 2 rank 4 medicinal herbs for 17.000 and 17.500 low-grade spirit stones each, before he moved to the last room.

Much fewer people were inside this room compared to the previous 2, while Shun Long noticed that every single medicinal ingredient in this room was at least at the rank 4.

There was even a single rank 5 herb that Shun Long instantly recognized as the ʼDreamy ash flowerʼ.

Although the flower was priced at 300.000 low-grade spirit stones, Shun Long didnʼt hesitate to purchase it.

The use of the rank 5 ʼDreamy ash flowerʼ, was mostly to grind it to dust and apply it to a person who is suffering from mental illnesses.

It could immediately expel the demons in a cultivatorʼs heart, and help them restore clarity of their mind.

However, Shun Long also had another use of this flower.

After paying 300.000 low-grade spirit stones for the ʼDreamy ash flowerʼ, Shun Long also purchased a dozen more rank 4 medicinal herbs for almost 400.000 low-grade spirit stones, when his eyes were suddenly focused on a ruby-colored case at the far left of the room.

A purple-colored medicinal herb with stripped icy-blue lines was placed inside the jade case, which made Shun Longʼs heart, beat in excitement

ʼʼRank 4 ʼPurple wind ice fruitʼ!ʼʼ

Seeing Shun Longʼs reaction, Liu Mei turned her head towards Shun Longʼs field of vision, where the purple medicinal herb was placed.

Shun Long walked in front of the counter, and despite the high price of 170.000 low-grade spirit stones, he purchased the rank 4 ʼPurple wind ice fruitʼ and placed it in the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

This was the last of the 3 main medicinal herbs that Shun Long needed, to refine the rank 4 ʼinternal reconstruction pillʼ.

Now that he had already reached the peak of the third stage in the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ, as soon as he refined the rank 4 ʼPurple wind ice fruitʼ into the ʼinternal reconstruction pillʼ, he would be able to enter the fourth stage of the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ.

Shun Long hadnʼt expected to find the ʼPurple wind ice fruitʼ in the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ today, since even the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ didnʼt seem to have one in stock, and had thought of putting up a mission in the ʼMercenariesʼ Associationʼ if he had been unable to find it.

Of course, this didnʼt mean that the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ had more medicinal herbs than the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ. However, many mercenaries chose to sell the medicinal herbs that they found during their missions to the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ, which was the reason that there were so many medicinal herbs for sale.

Of course, in front of the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼsʼ herb garden, these 3 rooms were still nothing in comparison.

That garden was filled with top quality rank 4, as well as rank 5 medicinal herbs.

However, Jin Wenling had told Shun Long, that only after becoming a gold-grade alchemist of the guild would he be allowed to directly access these medicinal herbs.

In a way, this was still how the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ roped in the promising silver-grade alchemists as well.

After sweeping half the room clean from medicinal herbs, Shun Long had a satisfied look on his face, even though he had spent almost a million low-grade spirit stones in these herbs.

As for the magic beasts in the room, he didnʼt even take a single look at them.

Although there were 2 incomplete corpses of a pair of early rank 5 beasts, their beast cores had already been extracted, while the parts of their bodies that were still intact, werenʼt suitable for alchemy.

Although Shun Long had all the medicinal herbs that he needed, he didnʼt choose to enter seclusion and advance to the fourth stage of the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ right now.

Instead, he and Liu Mei got on the black pantherʼs back, as they headed towards the entrance of the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the firm however, Shun Long and Liu Mei were startled for a moment, when a furious roar was heard behind them.

The people at the entrance of the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ, along with the 10 Nascent Soul stage guards were startled as well.

The crowd immediately scurried away from the entrance when they heard this roar, as everyone was terrified to the core.

The moment that the black panther heard this roar, it almost unconsciously turned around, and let out a terrifying roar in response.

ROARR
