Waving his right hand, Shun Long sent the 2 bottles flying forward, each of them coming to a halt right in front of Bai Longtian and Jiang Chen, as the 2 bottles hovered in the air in front of them.
Looking at the 2 young men sitting in front of him, Shun Long didn’t hide anything as he explained with a smile
”These pills will be very beneficial to your body refinement cultivation, and should help you reach the peak of the sixth stage before long! I refined them using the essence of a 9th tribulation Earth Immortal, so the energy inside them is completely pure and easy to absorb. Of course, whether you can reach the peak of the sixth stage or not before we leave this place will be entirely up to you.”
Shun Long’s words seemed casual, as if he was making some off-handed remark about something inconsequential, but waves of shock couldn’t help but batter Jiang Chen’s and Bai Longtian’s hearts as the two of them stared at him with shock and veneration in their gazes!
Naturally, neither Jiang Chen nor Bai Longtian were fools so they immediately understood what was going on, yet the shock in their hearts only continued to grow as realization dawned upon them!
After all, back when they were still in the ‘King’s Palace’, the Northern Sovereign and various other experts had raised a fuss about a certain treasure disappearing from the core region of the palace.
Apparently, it was an extremely rare treasure that the Northern Sovereign and the various experts there had been trying to get their hands on for many years!
Soon, word of it began to spread, and practically every single disciple of a major power in the northern part of the continent came to know, that that treasure was actually the skeleton of a 9th tribulation Earth Immortal which had somehow disappeared from the depths of the King’s Palace!
Naturally, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian understood that there was no way for all this to be a coincidence! After all, treasures like the skeleton of a peak-stage Earth Immortal weren’t cabbage that could be found randomly lying on the streets!
And yet this newfound information only served to fuel the veneration they felt for Shun Long even further. After all, not only had he somehow managed to pull the wool over a peak-stage Sovereign realm expert and numerous other Dao Emperors and Sovereign realm experts, but he even managed to get his hands on the skeleton of a 9th tribulation Earth Immortal and even withstood its pressure as he refined it into pills!
How many star-rank alchemists in the central region were capable of refining such a skeleton into pills?
Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian weren’t aware of an exact number, but they were absolutely certain that even the best star-rank alchemist of the Holy sect, Xingyi’s master, Elder Mao Jing wasn’t capable of that!
Seeing the hesitant looks on Jiang Chen’s and Bai Longtian’s faces, Shun Long grinned and pushed the 2 bottles directly into their hands before he continued
”Don’t worry. Although these pills were a bit hard to make, they only contain a sliver of the skeleton’s true essence. Still, it should be more than enough to push you to the peak of the sixth stage in body refinement.”
Without another word, Shun Long stood up and dusted his clothes, leaving Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian behind, before he made his way towards Xingyi in the distance.
Xingyi’s long blonde hair fluttered in the wind while a soul-stirring smile now adorned her beautiful face as she looked gently at Shun Long’s approaching figure. freewёbnoνel.com
Although he was somewhat used to it by now, Shun Long couldn’t help but feel his heart stir as he gazed at the peerlessly beautiful young woman in front of him, whose emerald eyes looked back at him with boundless admiration and affection.
No matter how many times he looked at Liu Mei or Xingyi, Shun Long had to admit that both of them seemed to become even prettier as time passed by. Of course, this was the effect of a higher cultivation base alongside one’s natural beauty. It didn’t matter if a person was a body refiner or a qi refiner, as their bodies absorbed the pure spiritual energy from the air around them, their appearance would grow more and more refined as they expelled the impurities within them.
And of course, the effects on Xingyi were even more obvious now that she had been absorbing the pure immortal qi from the ‘Heaven Swallowing vine’ for the past 2 years!
Her skin was fair as jade and her bright blonde hair that cascaded down her shoulders like two golden waterfalls, only served to accentuate her beauty that could only be described as kingdom-toppling. Her bright emerald eyes contrasting the natural beauty of her vivid red lips made her seem like an immortal beauty that had just walked out of a painting!
Standing in front of her, Shun Long then placed his arms around Xingyi’s lithe waist, and in a rare display of affection, he pulled her in as he hugged her gently before he whispered in her ear
”I know I’ve neglected you and Mei’er recently. But don’t worry, once we leave this place I promise I’ll make it up to you!”
A tinge of redness quickly appeared on Xingyi’s face as she blushed, and burying her head deeper in his embrace she just gave him an affirmative sound as she felt the warmth coming from his body.
After holding Xingyi for a while longer, Shun Long then sat down on the ground a few meters away from Liu Mei and turned his gaze towards the ‘Heaven Swallowing vine’, as he prepared to continue his qi cultivation. He had spent the past year inside the foggy space in the ‘Stone of Time’ continuously refining the essence of the golden skeleton and turning it into pills, as well as breaking through to the sixth stage in his ‘Monarch’s Eternal body’, thus neglecting his qi cultivation by quite a bit.
This was why, right now, he knew that the most important thing he had to do, was make the most out of the immortal qi inside the ‘City of Immortals’ and strengthen his foundation in the Dao King realm even further. In fact, Shun Long wasn’t planning to leave the Endless Desert until he became a late-stage Dao King!
A moment later, the indistinct figure of an hourglass suddenly appeared around him, completely encapsulating Shun Long within it, before the immortal qi from the ‘Heaven Swallowing vine’ began to surge in his direction at a terrifying rate!
