Monarch Of Time

Chapter 1033 1033 Lunar Jade

ʼʼA humble alchemist? Stop screwing with me you old monster! You are a damn Sovereign!ʼʼ Wolf Hunter roared in his mind, but his expression was still as respectful as he could possibly manage while facing Shun Long.

The hall master of the Lunar Grave guild had been well aware that the old man in front of him was planning to open an alchemy shop in Amber Dawn from the moment he purchased the rights from the city guardʼs headquarters. His spies within the city guard also verified that info almost immediately, so there was no question on that front. However, not even in his wildest dreams would he imagine that this random group of newcomers would be led by a Sovereign realm expert!

How many Sovereigns did Amber Dawn have in total? Even if Wolf Hunter included both the Lunar Grave and the Twilight Sovereignʼs guild reserves, that number still wouldnʼt reach double digits!

Shaking his head, the man quickly regained his bearings before taking the group in front of him in a completely different light as a myriad of different thoughts coursed through his mind.

Indeed, it would be one thing if another major power was trying to establish its base in Amber Dawn, with huge implications following such an action.

Any power, like an intelligence gathering organization for example, would have its interests clash directly with both the assassin guilds as well as the Amber Dawn Sovereign himself.

However, the shop of a Sovereign realm alchemist was an entirely different story!

Wolf Hunter was well aware of the condition Amber Dawn was in. For better or worse, the city desperately lacked star-rank alchemists and formation masters, and was facing massive shortages in both its pill supply, as well as the weapons it had access to.

Of course, both the assassin guilds and the city guard had access to a few star-rank alchemists and formation masters who worked exclusively for them and alleviated some of that pressure. Still, the demand far outweighed the supply, and even with those ʼexclusiveʼ alchemists and formation masters, and even if one factored in the existence of the numerous trading vendors spread throughout the city, the shortage of high-grade pills and weapons still had no end in sight.

ʼʼSenior Han, please ease your anger. If my earlier actions offended you, Iʼll apologize.ʼʼ Wolf Hunterʼs voice was a bit more genuine this time as he addressed the ʼold manʼ, the pressure in his spiritual sea still caused him to wince as he forced out a slight bow.

Although the middle-aged hall master was a peak-stage Dao Emperor and someone who could reign unopposed in Amber Dawn, in front of a Sovereign he still had to lower his head and act a bit more respectfully.

To Wolf Hunterʼs surprise, the ʼold manʼ actually nodded and retracted his pressure, the overbearing spiritual strength vanishing from his spiritual sea as quickly as it had arrived. Standing up from his seat, Shun Long stared at the middle-aged man with a deep look as he continued

ʼʼI know you have your orders to follow, so Iʼll overlook things this time. But keep in mind that I donʼt appreciate it when others try to pry into my personal life. There wonʼt be a second time, Wolf Hunter!ʼʼ

Wolf Hunterʼs forehead was covered with beads of sweat as the man forced out another nod, this time his expression a little less stiff.

Indeed, although the hall master had orders to keep an eye out for anyone trying to establish themselves in Amber Dawn and figure out their identity, doing so when the other party was a Sovereign was no different from suicide.

Stretching out a hand, Wolf Hunter took out 5 green jades and arranged them neatly on the wooden table in front of him, before his voice rang out once more

ʼʼThank you for your understanding, senior Han. I can assure you there wonʼt be a second time! Although I have orders to keep tabs on anyone arriving in Amber Dawn, senior has already made his identity clear so the guildʼs higher-ups should be satisfied with this information.ʼʼ

Wolf Hunterʼs gaze then moved to the 5 green jades before he hurriedly changed the topic, clearly looking to get done with this thing as quickly as possible

ʼʼAs for these 5 jades, since senior and his disciples are willing to join our guild, let me explain what they are for.ʼʼ

Turning his gaze to Liu Mei and the others, Wolf Hunter tossed each of them a green jade, leaving only one on the table for Shun Long before he continued

ʼʼThis thing is called the Lunar jade though most members call it the Lunar token nowadays. It is both your identity token, proving you are a member of the guild, as well as the medium connecting you to the guildʼs operations. You will be able to access most of the guildʼs available missions just by sending your soul sense inside it. Of course, there will be certain missions that will only be available after you increase your rank within the guild, but you can still take on most public missions through the jade.ʼʼ

Nodding his head, Shun Long didnʼt ask anything and simply examined the small jade in front of him, before eventually sending his soul sense inside it.

The old man called ʼThousand-facedʼ had already explained the jadeʼs importance as well as the way it was used, so Shun Long already had a general idea of what was going on.

As expected, the small jade absorbed the unfamiliar wave of spiritual strength almost immediately, before numerous different lines appeared in Shun Longʼs mind in quick succession.
