Chapter 284 - 284 Gift

After entering inside the space tear, Shun Long had completely avoided the protective formations around the 'Blood Pill pavilion's' treasury, as he stared at the scene in front of him with eyes filled with shock.

Mountains of spirit stones filled the room in front of him, as well as countless medicinal herbs and medicinal ingredients, including the beast cores of magic beasts, or other parts that were useful in alchemy.

The most shocking thing to Shun Long however, was the amount of spirit stones gathered inside the treasury!

Shun Long had originally expected that the 'Blood Pill pavilion's' treasury would at most have 10 million low-grade spirit stones! After all, even a middle rank 2 Dao King like Hao Ping from the 'Heaven's Dome city's' 'Mercenaries' Association', only had 15 million low-grade spirit stones in his spatial ring, while Xue Zhilan, an early rank 3 Dao King realm expert had 30 million low-grade spirit stones.

However, the 'Blood Pill pavilion's' treasury seemed to have more than 40 million low-grade spirit stones!

This was almost as much, as the wealth of the 2 Dao Kings combined!

Of course, that was only if Shun Long ignored the value of their gold grade weapons, as well as the countless martial skills and cultivation techniques that he had found inside their spatial rings.

As for the 2 'Dragon Lord's medallions'... they couldn't be purchased no matter how many spirit stones one had.

After staring at the scene in front of him for a few moments, Shun Long seemed to have just realized how it was possible for the 'Blood Pill pavilion's' wealth to match that of the 2 Dao Kings.

''Indeed, this is an alchemy shop!

Although they make huge amounts of spirit stones every day, they also have to spend a lot to pay their alchemists, as well as when they purchase medicinal herbs or the parts of powerful magic beasts that are used in pill refinement!

After all, the 'Blood Pill pavilion' doesn't have a herb garden where they can accelerate the flow of time in order for their medicinal herbs to mature faster, so they have to purchase them from outside sources, or send their own people to look for them.''

As this thought flashed through his mind, Shun Long seemed to have just understood where the powerful Nascent Soul stage experts and the powerful Dao Kings found the spirit stones that they needed in order to cultivate.

''If one doesn't have their own profitable organization or another huge power behind them like the 'Mercenaries' Association' or the 'Alchemists' Guild', then sooner or later, they would certainly replace themselves lacking spirit stones, even if they are powerful Nascent Soul stage experts!''

Just as Shun Long seemed to have fallen into a reverie once again, Little Black's voice sounded in his mind, waking him up as it said

''Master, the peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivators are all heading towards this place right now. They will only take a few breaths of time before they arrive here as well.''

Shun Long immediately woke up as soon as he heard Little Black's words, and without wasting a moment he looked at Liu Mei as he said

''Mei'er focus on gathering the spirit stones.''

The moment that he finished his words, a bright blue light erupted from his body, covering him completely, as he activated the second 'Monarch's Domain'.

Shun Long could feel his speed sky-rocketing, as time around him was now flowing nearly 10 times faster than before.

His body left afterimages behind, as Shun Long disappeared from his original spot, heading towards the mountains of spirit stones in front of him at full speed.

He was going to gather as many spirit stones as he could before the peak rank 9 Spirit realm experts that were in charge of the 'Blood Pill pavilion' arrived!

Liu Mei nodded her head, while a beautiful smile was formed beneath her black robes as she followed Shun Long in gathering the spirit stones.

Barely a few breaths of time had passed, when booming sounds were heard outside of the 'Blood Pill pavilion's' treasury.

The old man who barely had a few hairs left on his head was the first to arrive, before Zhou Ning and the others followed suit.

As soon as they saw the corpses of the 2 peak rank 6 Spirit realm experts outside the treasury, ugly expressions appeared on the Zhou Ning's and the rest's faces.

One guard was lying in a pool of blood with his neck slashed open, while the other one had his heart pierced through.

How could the old man and the others not understand, that there were no apparent signs of fighting? It seemed that the 2 peak rank 6 Spirit realm experts had only managed to shout once before they had died.

After taking a deep breath, the old man looked at the 10 people behind him before he said in a cold voice

''Lock down the pavilion! Don't let anyone escape, no matter their reasons!''

An old man with a small white dagger on his waist and a fat middle-aged woman with a big protrusion on her forehead, both nodded their heads at the same time as they left the treasury.

The old man's eyes then focused on the large black door of the treasury, but after seeing that the protective formations were still untouched, he let out a sigh of relief.

As a careful person however, the old man still took out a red jade with various runes on it, and placed it on an opening at the center of the black door.

Although the door of the pavilion's treasury was still untouched, the old man still had a bad feeling in his heart, one that made him feel anxious and slightly afraid.

As soon as his red jade touched the black door, the old man and the 8 peak rank 9 Spirit realm experts behind him saw the door slowly open.

The moment that he saw the scene inside the treasury however, the bald old man felt his heart stopping.

His mouth opened and closed as he slowly walked towards the treasury's interior, but no sounds were heard.

Zhou Ning, Guan Hong and the other experts of the 'Blood Pill pavilion', all had shocked looks on their faces as they saw the scene inside the treasury.

The medicinal herbs and the magic beasts parts were all still there and had obviously stayed untouched.

The same went for the cultivation techniques, and the few martial skills!

However... the mountains of spirit stones had disappeared!

The old man walked to the center of the treasury, and bent down before he reached out with his hand, and picked up the single spirit stone that was left inside the treasury.

With a look filled with incredulity and disbelief, the old man couldn't help asking himself

''1 low-grade spirit stone?''
