Chapter 111 - 111 Fighting Fu Peizhi

Ma Tengfei and Yin Xing both bowed as they entered the room and respectfully called out

''Senior''

Then, with a flattering smile on his face, Ma Tengfei looked at Shun Long and said

''I have come to deliver the payment for senior's wine.''

Ma Tengfei then took out a huge amount of spirit stones from his spatial ring and said

''Senior, here are 60.800 spirit stones. From the 32.000 spirit stones that senior's wine sold for, our 'Treasure Pavilion' only took a 5 percent fee, meaning that senior's profit is a total of 30.400 spirit stones.

Since our 'Treasure Pavilion also promised senior to match the cost of the first barrel, the total would be 60.800 spirit stones.''

Shun Long laughed but didn't bargain over 1600 spirit stones with Ma Tengfei. After all the 'Treasure Pavilion' wasn't exactly wrong to subtract 5 percent from their own purchase as well.

After taking the spirit stones, Shun Long handed the wooden barrel to Ma Tengfei who smiled as he said

''Senior, if you have anything that our pavilion can help you with, you just have to say the word. Our pavilion would be very happy if we could cooperate with senior.''

Shun Long however shook his head as he said

''I am planning to leave the 'floating cloud sect' today.''

Both Yin Xing and Ma Tengfei sighed dejectedly when they heard this, but they had already expected to be refused. Such a senior would only be a passerby from their 'floating cloud sect' after all, and wouldn't stay here forever.

Slashing the air with his right hand, Shun Long opened a space tear, and in front of the disbelieving looks of the 2 alchemists from the 'Treasure Pavilion, he entered the space tear and disappeared in front of their eyes.

Shun Long then reappeared in a narrow alley about 50m away from the 'Treasure Pavilion's entrance, and after having little Black scan the area to make sure that there was no one around him, he removed his black robes before he headed back to the 'Mystifying Fragrance pavilion'.

On the way back to the pavilion, Shun Long noticed that the commotion around the 'Redstone inn' had grown even bigger. Shun Long was certain that all of it was due to the deaths of Xiao Shitou and Lin Wu inside the sect.

Without paying any attention to it however, Shun Long returned back to his room.

Sitting on his bed, he then started feeding spirit stones to the 'Heaven swallowing vine'.

The vine absorbed the spirit stones that Shun Long fed it like crazy, as it produced more and more pure qi inside the 'Stone of Time'.

Shun Long then, looked at the corpse of the peak rank 4 silver winged roc and said

''Little Black, take your time to consume the silver winged roc's body and enhance your strength too.''

Little Black nodded his head as he heard this and without a moment's hesitation, he started to eat the flesh of the silver winged roc.

After all, at the end of the day, little Black was still a dragon, a king of magic beasts.

Magic beasts grew faster the same way that body refiner cultivators did... by eating the magic beasts' flesh.

Although the 'Heaven swallowing vine' could enhance little Black's cultivation speed, consuming other magic beasts was still the best way for the black dragon's strength to grow.

3 days passed in the blink of an eye when Shun Long opened his eyes.

Today was the day that he had promised to challenge Fu Peizhi. In just 3 days, Shun Long had already advanced to the peak of rank 4 in earth grade.

Taking a look inside the 'Stone of Time', Shun Long smiled as he saw the black dragon that had already eaten a third of the silver winged roc, and was now asleep.

Leaving the 'Mystifying Fragrance pavilion', Shun Long heard a lot of discussions on his way to the arena, and surprisingly most people were still talking about the death of Lin Wu and Xiao Shitou.

''I heard that the sect is investigating to find the culprit of the assassination but there are still no clues from that night!''

''Xiao Juyan said that the culprit is the person ranked 93rd in the arena, Shun Long. But the sect investigated and found nothing to prove it so far.''

''Whoever killed Xiao Juyan's brother really did a good job covering his tracks.''

10 minutes later, Shun Long arrived outside of the arena entrance, only to see a huge crowd that had queued up.

Some people from the crowd instantly recognized him as they exclaimed

''He really came.''

''Shun Long is here! Inform senior brother Fu!''

''Senior brother Fu is already waiting for him in the registration counter!''

Fu Peizhi had a sinister smile on his face as he saw Shun Long walking towards him at the registration counter as he said

''I didn't expect you to actually have the guts to come here today.''

Shun Long swept his eyes at Fu Peizhi before handing his sect jade to the woman at the registration counter as he said

''I want to challenge the person ranked 17th in the rankings, Fu Peizhi.''

Although the crowd was expecting these words, everyone still burst with excitement when they heard them while Fu Peizhi's eyes had a dark look in them.

Although he was confident that he could defeat Shun Long, this challenge was still a slap in his face.

The woman at the registration counter accepted Shun Long's sect jade, and officially issued the challenge, causing Fu Peizhi's sect jade to start glowing.

Fu Peizhi then looked at Shun Long and laughed as he said

''This is good as well. It's time for you to understand the difference between the top 100 and the top 20.''

Taking out 2 short daggers from his spatial ring, Fu Peizhi looked at Shun Long and said in a derisive voice

''Did you really think that you are able to fight against me just because you beat Xiao Juyan? Or is it because you traded blows with Ren Gui once and now you think that you are on his level already? Let today's fight serve as a lesson for you then.''

As he finished speaking, Fu Peizhi immediately unleashed his middle rank 9 earth grade aura, and after infusing his qi in the 2 short daggers in his hands, he sent them flying towards Shun Long.
