Monarch Of Time

Chapter 497 - 497

Chapter 497 - 497


Jiang Chen"s words didn"t cause any waves as Shun Long and the rest all stared at him apathetically.


Even if he and Shun Long hadn"t been forced to fight against stronger opponents during the fourth test after attracting Elder Cao Ling"s attention who wanted to find out what secrets they were hiding, and even if Jiang Chen didn"t have an extraordinary fate after testing himself on the ball of fate, just from the fact that he actually had an immortal-grade bloodline was enough for many Elders to become interested in him.


Thus, Shun Long barely looked at Jiang Chen after hearing this, before he turned his attention towards Bai Longtian.


Surprisingly, Bai Longtian also nodded his head in response, and after scratching his head in a slightly awkward manner he said


""Me as well. The truth is that I didn"t have any hopes of an Elder choosing to take me as their disciple, since the only thing that I revealed during the fourth test was my Dao of the Buddha. But Elder He Kun found me almost instantly after we entered the Holy sect a week ago, and told me that I have potential in becoming a powerful swordsman even if I haven"t comprehended the Dao of the Sword, and that he wanted to take me as his disciple.""


Shun Long nodded his head in response, while inwardly he felt that Bai Longtian was really lucky.


Out of the 4 people around him, Shun Long knew that Bai Longtian had the lowest chances of having an Elder taking him as a personal disciple due to the fact that he hadn"t exposed his Golden Buddha unique physique during the sect"s test.


So, having an Elder take a liking to him and choose him as a disciple even though he hadn"t shown his full abilities was really a form of luck.


""Since you have such a powerful unique physique, why didn"t you reveal it during the fourth test? Isn"t the goal of entering the Holy sect, for us to become stronger while also getting a master?""


Bai Longtian shook his head, while the look in his eyes was serious as he responded without any hesitation


""Although getting an Elder to become interested in me would be easier that way, my strength isn"t used as a show to attract attention. I will only use my Golden Buddha physique when I don"t have any other choice, otherwise, I feel that I wouldn"t be myself anymore if I did it to attract a master that way.""


Shun Long and the rest all nodded their heads when they heard this, while even the apathetic look in Jiang Chen"s eyes when he looked at Bai Longtian diminished slightly as he seemed to have agreed with what he said.


Indeed, as cultivators, even if it was to accept a master, none of them would go all out in a fight if they didn"t have to, and would definitely save some of their trump cards for the future.


This was also part of the reason why Jiang Chen had concealed his Eternal Darkness unique physique and didn"t reveal it during his fight. Of course, unlike Bai Longtian, Jiang Chen had already revealed his strongest trump card which was his immortal-grade bloodline.


After chatting for some more time, Jiang Chen was the first one to stand up from his cushion as he looked at Shun Long and said that he would spend the next few days stabilizing his cultivation, as well as go and pick 2 personal D-rank missions from the a.s.signment Hall, and that he would come and find Shun Long again in 10 days, before they left the sect to complete their missions.


The truth was that Jiang Chen was just a step away from breaking through to the peak of rank 4 of the Nascent Soul, and if he wanted to, he could actually step in that level within the next few days, but stabilizing his cultivation after a breakthrough was extremely crucial to every cultivator.


Failing to stabilize your cultivation properly could mean that you would be unable to breakthrough any further in the future.


It was no different than trying to build an enormous building that reached the clouds. If its base wasn"t strong enough, it would at some point be unable to support more weight and would eventually collapse.


Even Shun Long had to stabilize his own cultivation in a certain sense, since he had to always purify his qi b.a.l.l.s, bringing the older ones at the same level as the new ones, while making every subsequent qi ball even purer with every breakthrough.


Bai Longtian soon followed a few moments later, obviously unwilling to fall behind Jiang Chen any longer. After all, Jiang Chen was already a minor stage above him in cultivation to begin with.


Seeing that she was the only one who had remained in the room along with Liu Mei and Shun Long, made Xie Xingyi"s heart start beating faster the moment that her eyes landed on the young man sitting calmly in front of her. After taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Xie Xingyi"s eyes that were filled with curiosity stared at Shun Long before she asked in a gentle yet curious voice


""Brother Long... since you are an alchemist, have you ever heard of "earth flames"?""


""Earth flames?"" Liu Mei"s eyes were filled with confusion when she heard this unfamiliar term that she had never heard before, but as soon as she turned her head to look at Shun Long, she saw that the look in his eyes had already changed, almost as if Xie Xingyi had mentioned an extremely rare treasure!


Indeed, Shun Long nodded his head barely a moment later as he looked at the young woman in front of him and asked in a tone that didn"t hide his curiosity


""Xingyi, you have heard about the existence of "earth flames"?""
