Chapter 490: Sense of urgency

Without any hesitation, Shun Long walked towards that counter with an unconcealed look of excitement in his eyes.

Since his cauldron was destroyed back in the 'Ten thousand beasts' mountain range' and he didn't have a chance to purchase a new one back in the Night star continent, Shun Long had already decided to buy a new one today.

At the same time, Shun Long knew that if he wanted to keep refining rank 5 pills or even rank 6 pills, he needed a gold-grade cauldron as well, or it was only a matter of time until his pill refinement kept failing due to silver grade cauldrons being unable to stand the pill and the violent temperature of the qi flames.

And yet, in the Night star continent, the peak powers there monopolized nearly every single gold-grade cauldron, making Shun Long unable to find even a single gold-grade cauldron to purchase.

However, things in the Golden Treasures Hall were completely different.

Things that were practically impossible to buy in the Night star continent were sold everywhere here.

Rank 1, rank 2, and even rank 3 gold grade cauldrons, along with the corpses of rank 5 and even some early rank 6 magic beasts, as well as medicinal herbs at rank 5 and even rank 6, were all for sale in this place!

Shun Long's eyes first fell on the rank 5 and rank 6 medicinal herbs.

A single rank 5 medicinal herb could cost anywhere from 100 to 20.000 sect points, depending on how rare each medicinal herb was and how useful it was to an alchemist, while the few rank 6 medicinal herbs that were for sale were sold at a minimum of 50.000 sect points.

Although some of these medicinal herbs were enough to attract Shun Long's attention, since he didn't need any of them urgently, he planned to buy them the next time he visited the Golden Treasures Hall.

At the same time, Shun Long also noticed that the prices of the corpses of the magic beasts weren't too different from the prices of the medicinal herbs.

The corpse of a single early rank 5 magic beast that was practically intact could be bought for 1000 sect points, while the corpse of a middle rank 5 magic beast was priced at 5000 sect points. As for the corpse of a peak rank 5 magic beast, it was priced at 20.000 sect points.

Finally, although there weren't many early rank 6 magic beasts, each one of them was priced at 60.000 sect points or even higher than that. 

Of course, since early rank 6 magic beasts were even stronger than average early-stage Dao Kings, it was even harder to hunt those beasts, and even the disciples of the Holy sect often became food for them as well.

Shun Long barely threw a look at the bodies of the magic beasts that were for sale, before he turned his attention towards the alchemy cauldrons at the back of the counter.

A rank 1 gold grade cauldron was actually priced at 10.000 sect points while a rank 2 cauldron costed at least 25.000 sect points.

As for rank 3 and peak rank 3 gold grade cauldrons, they were priced at 80.000 sect points or above.

After a few moments of deliberation, Shun Long decided to buy a peak rank 2 gold grade cauldron for 35.000 sect points.

Although this meant that he was only left with 5000 sect points for now, getting a good quality cauldron was extremely important to Shun Long.

At the same time, it was no exaggeration to say, that the Golden Treasures Hall really had everything that an alchemist needed, and this was just the first floor.  Shun Long also knew that there was a second floor as well, but he had already bought everything that he needed this time just from the first floor!

Of course, the second floor wasn't open to every outer disciple.

Only those disciples who belonged to the top 100 factions or they had entered the top 1000 rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor were allowed to enter the second floor.

After all, although having sect points to purchase treasures was important, having the status to match those treasures was equally as important.

Seeing that there was nothing else to buy from the first floor this time, Shun Long held Liu Mei's hand and left the Golden Treasures Hall as he walked back towards his courtyard.

He had already decided that after Liu Mei's master and disciple ceremony with Elder Xuan was over, he would go out of the Holy sect and take a look at the Holy city situated at the foot of the mountain of the sect, before he decided which missions to take on.

After all, although Shun Long knew that he and Liu Mei still had 3 months left until they completed their first personal mission, he also knew that his time in the Holy sect would be anything but easy. At the same time, just from the fact that he had created his own faction and was aiming to rise to the top of the sect, Shun Long understood that this wouldn't be anything simple either.

Right now, he couldn't even guess how strong the strongest disciples in the Martial Roll of Honor and the heads of the top factions really were.

This caused a sense of urgency, but at the same time a feeling of excitement to rise in Shun Long's heart.

A little more than half an hour later, he and Liu Mei arrived in front of his courtyard's entrance, only to see an unexpected scene play along.

Jiang Chen was standing outside Shun Long's courtyard, and was facing a white-robed young man with a look in his eyes that was filled with fighting intent.

With just a glance, both Shun Long and Liu Mei instantly recognized this handsome white-robed young man who was holding a snow-white sword with both hands as he seriously faced Jiang Chen.

That was the same person who had visited Shun Long nearly a week ago while he was still in seclusion, the young white lord, Bai Longtian!
