Chapter 755: Priceless map

''A detailed map of the entire central region?'' Both 'old Lin' and commander Quan looked at Shun Long with surprised looks, before commander Quan shook his head and answered seriously

''Young master, if you want a detailed map of the entire central region, I'm afraid that would be impossible, unless you can visit one of the largest cities in the center of the central region like the Tianxuan city.

Although our Northern Sovereign's city is the largest city in the northern part of the central region, in reality, the central region as a whole is simply too big, making it nearly impossible to map it all.

Only the strongest powers who stand at the peak of the central region like the Tianxuan dynasty can possibly have a detailed map like that.

But of course, if young master simply wants a detailed map of the northern part of the central region, then that requirement would be easy to fulfill.''

As he finished speaking, Quan Lin took out a large map from his spatial ring and handed it to Shun Long before he continued

''This map is many times more detailed than the ones that you can normally buy at the large shops around the city. Since the young masters are guests of our city lord, you can consider this a gift from me.''

Shun Long didn't decline Quan Lin's offer, as he nodded his head and accepted the map.

At that moment, Shun Long suddenly realized that he hadn't placed enough importance on getting a map of the central region. Since he had spent the past 2 years within the Holy sect's territory, there was no reason for him to look for a detailed map earlier either, which was why he didn't know how rare such a map really was.

Unfurling the map in his hands, Shun Long started to inspect it seriously a moment later, while his eyes took in the countless names that were written down on the map in great detail.

''White ice city: First-rate power, 6 Sovereign realm experts.''

''Lord Zhu's garden: First-rate power, 4 Sovereign realm experts.''

''Black mist valley: First-rate power, 5 Sovereign realm experts.''

...

''Holy sect: First-rate power, 1 Sovereign realm expert.''

''Zhong city, Zhong clan: First-rate power, 1 Sovereign realm expert.''

Indeed, not only had Quan Lin's map recorded down the name of every single power in the northern part of the central region and their location, but it even contained the number of Sovereign realm experts who were standing behind every power.

As Shun Long's gaze landed on the name 'Zhong clan', he quickly remembered the time when his faction was returning back to the Holy sect from the 'Blue star continent'.

Back then, while they were flying past the Zhong city, Jiang Chen's father, Jiang Tianfang had said that the old ancestor of the Zhong clan was close to breaking through to the Sovereign realm, but whether he had succeeded in his breakthrough or not was actually uncertain.

However, based on the information on Quan Lin's map, the Zhong clan indeed had a Sovereign realm expert behind them, which meant that their old ancestor must have most likely succeeded.

Quan Lin seemed to have noticed that Shun Long was staring at the Zhong clan and said calmly

''Young master, please keep in mind that those powers who only have a single Sovereign realm expert behind them, are only considered to have barely reached the rank of first-rate powers in our northern part of the central region. In reality, if they were compared to the strongest powers like the 'White ice city' or the 'Black mist valley', then those powers would only be considered to be second-rate powers at best.

However, under the city lord's commands, every power that has a Sovereign realm expert behind them, even if they are a newly advanced Sovereign realm cultivator, will then be considered to be a first-rate power.''

Liu Mei and the others were all stunned momentarily after hearing Quan Lin's words, but they soon realized that it made sense.

Indeed, the only reason why the Holy sect could stand tall in the first place and suppress the countless powers in its territory like the Yang clan, to the point that they would not dare to rebel, was all thanks to the sect master of the sect who was a Sovereign realm expert.

But of course, to an expert like Quan Lin who was a commander in the Northern Sovereign's army and his own cultivation was just a step away from reaching the Sovereign realm, powers like the Zhong clan were nothing important in his eyes.

Only the strongest powers like the 'White ice city' and the 'Black mist valley' were powerful enough to warrant his attention.

Shun Long didn't pay much attention to Quan Lin's 'subtle' bragging, as his gaze was still focused on the map in front of him.

It wasn't abnormal for someone like Quan Lin to look down on those 'first-rate powers', but Shun Long understood that Quan Lin didn't really look down on the Sovereign realm experts behind those powers.

After all, those Sovereign realm experts had all been recognized to be strong enough by the Northern Sovereign herself.

A few moments later, Shun Long's eyes suddenly narrowed as his gaze landed on a city that was located a good distance away from the Northern Sovereign's city and was close to the edge of the northern part of the central region itself, as the information about that power entered his eyes

''Murong city, Murong family: First-rate power, 2 Sovereign realm experts!''

Shun Long's eyes didn't linger on Murong city for too long, certain that 'old Lin' or commander Quan would notice this anomaly, and after taking a quick look at the rest of the powers on the map, Shun Long turned his attention towards Quan Lin and said

''Commander Quan, I want to buy and sell a few medicinal herbs. What is the best place in the city to do so?''

Quan Lin wasn't surprised by Shun Long's question as he nodded his head and answered without any hesitation

''If the young master is interested in buying rare medicinal herbs, you should visit the 'Myriad pills pavilion' or the 'White tiger chamber of commerce'. The 'Myriad pills pavilion' isn't far from our Sovereign's estate either.''
