Chapter 529: One with the world (2/2)

Thankfully, his breakthrough had only lasted for a little more than a week inside the foggy space, meaning that barely 1 day had passed 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 Assignment 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.

It was only now that he started to understand why Elders like Elder Xuan could burn high-grade spirit stones to fill their courtyards with qi effortlessly.

And yet, not only did this not make Shun Long depressed, but it actually made him so happy, that any passerby 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?
