Chapter 529 - 529 One with the world

Closing his eyes for the second time, Shun Long then spread his soul sense around his surroundings before he mumbled in a low, almost inaudible voice

""Let"s try this!""

Spatial fluctuations started to ripple out around his body as soon as the words left his mouth, before he suddenly vanished from the spot he was standing on barely a moment later, almost as if his figure had faded into nothingness.

A full minute later, Shun Long"s body reappeared back inside the foggy s.p.a.ce in the "Stone of Time", in the same spot that he was standing on before he disappeared.

It was too bad that Little Black was still asleep, otherwise his reaction would have definitely been extremely interesting to look at, after seeing this scene in front of him.

After all, Shun Long hadn"t left the foggy s.p.a.ce in the "Stone of Time" just now, but he had really disappeared.

As soon as he reappeared on the same spot as before, a bright smile appeared on Shun Long"s face as he mumbled to himself thoughtfully

""Hmm, s.p.a.ce has so many different uses, that its uniqueness is almost at the same level as my Dao of Time.

Since I can completely conceal myself with this technique... I will name this, "One with the world"!""

As he came to this decision, Shun Long decided to spend the next couple of hours testing this new technique that he had comprehended after breaking through to the early fifth stage of his "Monarch"s Eternal body".

Indeed, after his breakthrough and since his affinity with the element of s.p.a.ce had increased even further, he could now clearly feel the s.p.a.ce around him even better than before, allowing him to hide his body inside it.

Of course, although it looked like he had actually vanished and even one"s soul sense would be hard-pressed to spot him while he used this technique, Shun Long knew that his "One with the world" wasn"t perfect since he couldn"t move while he activated this technique.

He could only stay still and observe his surroundings, but as long as he tried to move around, the technique would instantly break.

And yet, despite this limitation, Shun Long was extremely happy with this technique.

The only thing that he didn"t have, was such a protective technique to conceal himself.

Although he wasn"t certain if he would be able to hide successfully in front of powerful Dao Kings, Shun Long"s intuition told him that there was a high chance for him to succeed.

A few hours later, after consuming 5 stalks of "Dragonblood gra.s.s" to replenish his energy, he closed his eyes and imagined himself leaving the "Stone of Time", returning back to his room at the inn.

Thankfully, his breakthrough had only lasted for a little more than a week inside the foggy s.p.a.ce, meaning that barely 1 day had pa.s.sed in the outside world.

Although he knew that he still had more than half a day left, Shun Long decided to leave the inn before that and take a quick look at the rest of the Holy city, as well as go and meet with the merchant Ying Gui after that.

After all, according to the second mission that he had accepted from the a.s.signment Hall, there was less than a day left until Ying Gui"s caravan left for Yanzhu city.

Shun Long spent the next 4 hours touring through the shops of the Holy city, especially pill shops in hopes that he could find some rare medicinal herbs.

However, Shun Long didn"t know whether it was because he simply was unlucky or if the pill shops that he visited just happened to be like that, but most of them didn"t sell almost any rank 6 medicinal herbs, but only sold their pills directly.

Of course, Shun Long wanted to take a look at the rest of the Holy city as well and see if the other pill shops really worked like that, but he knew that it was time to meet with Ying Gui as well.

After remembering the details of the mission, he decided that he would take a look at the rest of the shops in the Holy city after completing his 2 missions, so without any hesitation, he then started walking towards the east of the Holy city.

As he walked towards the east of the city looking for the inn that he was supposed to meet Ying Gui, Shun Long thought back to the things that he had seen in the Holy city in the last 4 hours and realized that he was truly much poorer than he thought.

Although his current wealth could most likely rival that of an average early-stage Dao King from the central region, this was as far as it could go.

Shun Long simply couldn"t compare yet to even middle-stage Dao Kings, let alone the truly rich heirs and families that lived in the Holy city.

He had already seen that an average early rank 6 magic beast actually costed anywhere from 1 to 1.5 million middle-grade spirit stones!

This meant that as long as an average middle-stage Dao King was strong enough and he managed to capture a living early rank 6 magic beast, he could actually make as many spirit stones as an average early stage Dao King had managed to gather throughout his life.

Of course, this was the price for a living early rank 6 magic beast and not a dead one, otherwise the price would drop by many times. Capturing a rank 6 magic beast alive was also much tougher than one would think, as most magic beasts were almost impossible to be subdued, and would rather fight to the death than submit to humans.

Naturally, if middle-stage Dao Kings could make 1 million spirit stones so quickly, Shun Long couldn"t even fathom how rich the late-stage Dao Kings would be, or even the Dao Emperors.

And yet, not only did this not make Shun Long depressed, but it actually made him so happy, that any pa.s.serby who happened to see the evil smile on his face would end up feeling shivers all over their body before they scurried as far away from him as possible.

With so many resources available in the central region why wouldn"t Shun Long ever be happy?
