Chapter 516: Choosing a D-rank mission (1/2)

Just like the last time that he and Liu Mei came here, Shun Long saw more than a hundred disciples standing in front of the Mission board looking for missions that they wanted to choose.

Without needing him to say anything, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian both took a few steps forward at the same time, as they focused their eyes on the huge black board in front of them.

Seeing that Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi had turned their eyes towards him, Shun Long looked at the 2 peerlessly beautiful women who instantly attracted a lot of attention from the disciples around them and said

''Mei'er, Xingyi, don't choose any missions where the enemies are above the early rank 5 of the Nascent Soul.''

Although Shun Long was certain that both Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi wouldn't choose any missions that were impossible to complete, he still decided to remind them to be careful about this.

For Xie Xingyi who had already broken through to the early rank 4 of the Nascent Soul and had entered the middle stages of the Nascent Soul, Shun Long knew that it was possible for her to defeat a normal peak rank 4 Nascent Soul stage cultivator that didn't come from a sect without many issues. As for where her limits lied, Shun Long guessed that she could probably defeat an early rank 5 Nascent Soul stage cultivator as well in a head-on fight, albeit with some difficulty.

After all, in the cultivation world, it was common knowledge that cultivators who belonged to sects or powerful clans and families, would almost always be much stronger than other cultivators at the same level as them who had no backing.

The reason behind that was the rare cultivation techniques and martial skills that they could use, that normal cultivators that didn't belong to powerful forces would almost never be able to touch in their lives.

This was also the reason why Dong Ai looked down on Shun Long and Liu Mei for being rogue cultivators.

After all, the difference between a Mystic-grade and a Saint-grade cultivation technique was much more important than one would think.

Just the difference in speed of the absorption of qi between a normal Saint-grade cultivation technique and a Mystic-grade one would make countless cultivators willing to kill for it, as a single Saint low-grade cultivation technique allowed a cultivator to absorb qi 50 percent faster compared to someone who was training in a Mystic high-grade cultivation technique.

This 50 percent increase may not sound like a lot, but it would make an enormous difference if one had to cultivate for 2 years or 3 years in order to breakthrough to the next stage.

And yet, it wasn't just the speed of advancement that made Saint-grade cultivation techniques so valuable.

The purity from the qi that a Saint low-grade cultivation technique allowed a cultivator to absorb was also more than 50 percent purer compared to the qi that a Mystic high-grade technique.

This increase in the purity of the qi may not allow a cultivator to advance faster, but it directly affected their combat strength, making them even stronger.

This was why, every time that a Saint low-grade cultivation technique appeared in an auction or a place that wasn't controlled by a huge power, cultivators who didn't belong to huge powers would do everything they could to get their hands on it.

Of course, even Saint low-grade techniques had their own differences as well.
