Chapter 809 - 809

A few moments later, Shun Long closed his eyes and spread out his soul sense around his body, immediately covering the entire foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', before he used his spiritual strength to drag the purple-colored earth flame closer towards him.

Shun Long soon noticed that the earth flame seemed to be extremely easy to manipulate, as it followed his spiritual strength and floated towards his direction ever-so-slowly.

And yet, both Little Black and Little Silver watched the scene in front of them solemnly, as the earth flame approached closer and closer towards Shun Long's head.

Although Little Silver's level wasn't high enough to communicate with Shun Long at the same level that Little Black did, and it could only convey some of its feelings to its master instead, the black panther's intelligence wasn't any lower than an adult human's and it could clearly sense how dangerous this purple flame in front of it really was.

A moment later, Shun Long closed his eyes and allowed the earth flame to enter his spiritual sea.

The moment that the earth flame entered Shun Long's spiritual sea, it seemed to have completely changed, from what seemed to be a docile puppy to a ravenous wolf.

Shun Long could clearly sense the purple flames around the earth flame that were burning with extreme intensity, as the earth flame started to madly consume the spiritual strength inside his spiritual sea.

..

At the same time, back in the 'Southern Dragon's courtyard', Liu Mei, Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian were all standing at the entrance of the courtyard, as they stared at a familiar middle-aged man with long black hair who was standing next to commander Quan Lin.

''Haha, Jiang Tianfang, it seems that you were telling the truth. I can indeed see the resemblance between you two. Since that's the case, I will leave you to it.'' Commander Quan Lin said to the middle-aged man who was standing next to him after he took a look at Jiang Chen and him.

Jiang Tianfang nodded his head calmly as he stared at Quan Lin's figure that disappeared into the distance a few moments later, before a smile finally formed itself on his lips as he turned his attention towards Jiang Chen and the others.

''Uncle Jiang!'' Liu Mei, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian all bowed as they greeted Jiang Tianfang, who shook his head and waved his hand at them before he said with an amiable smile

''You little brats, there is no need to be so respectful to me. It's enough to address me as 'uncle Jiang' when we meet, there is no need for you to bow.''

Jiang Tianfang then turned his attention towards Jiang Chen and said in a joking manner

''You brat, even your friends are greeting your father but you are just standing there so casually when you haven't seen me for so long?''

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned when he saw his father's good mood, and he was even unable to react for a while.

Although Jiang Tianfang had always been a good father, one that doted on his son quite a bit, this was still the first time for as long as Jiang Chen could remember that his father was actually smiling so earnestly.

At that moment, Jiang Chen smiled as well, as he took a step forward and said

''Father, it seems that you are in a good mood because you managed to find the 'Golden light flower', right?''

Nodding his head, Jiang Tianfang didn't hide anything, as he actually started laughing uproariously barely a moment later, before he said with a smile

''Hahaha, it seems that Shun Long has already told you about it. Indeed, I managed to find the 'Golden light flower' in an auction in Murong city a few months ago.''

Waving his hand, Jiang Tianfang then took out a small jade box from his spatial ring and opened it, revealing the seven-petaled flower to Liu Mei and the others.

One didn't need to be a star-rank alchemist to sense the potent medicinal energy inside the 'Golden light flower' and realize that this flower was an extremely rare rank 7 medicinal herb.

Jiang Tianfang then turned to look around him, taking a look at the rest of the 'Southern Dragon's courtyard' almost as if he was looking for something, before he asked curiously

''Shun Long... isn't here?''

Although Jiang Tianfang knew that the distance between Murong city and the 'Northern Sovereign's city' was so big that it would even take a relatively fast peak rank 6 magic beast at least 3 months to cross it, he already knew that something like that wasn't a problem for Shun Long.

In fact, Jiang Tianfang had long since guessed that Shun Long had, at the very least, a powerful early rank 7 magic beast as his companion, or he wouldn't have been able to travel to Murong city so quickly and attend the auction of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce'.

Although Jiang Tianfang didn't know what other secrets Shun Long had, he didn't care about them either.

After all, Shun Long was not only Jiang Chen's friend, but he was Jiang Tianfang's benefactor as well, and the only person who could heal his dantian. Naturally, Jiang Tianfang wouldn't have any bad intentions towards Shun Long, regardless of what type of treasures he had. 

After all, there was no treasure important enough to Jiang Tianfang that could possibly compare to healing his dantian that had been crippled for almost 50 years.

Shaking his head, Bai Longtian looked at Jiang Tianfang and said seriously

''Uncle Jiang, brother Shun has entered seclusion since he returned from Murong city and he has yet to come out.''

Jiang Tianfang didn't say anything else and simply nodded his head, before he turned his gaze towards the main room in the building in the distance.

Since Shun Long had entered seclusion, Jiang Tianfang didn't mind sitting there and waiting.

Of course, Liu Mei and the others didn't have a problem with Jiang Tianfang staying in the courtyard either.
