Chapter 518: Chapter 514: Jianghu Gossip of Super Master

Looking at the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao instantly perked up.

Super Master!

It seems that in the current Jianghu, only Long Lie from the Ye Family is acknowledged as a Super Master.

In Jianghu, it’s akin to nuclear deterrence.

If Taotie also successfully advances to Super Master, wouldn’t she be able to walk unhindered in Jianghu?

Just thinking about it feels exhilarating, super fabulous.

[Fang Xiaocao: Are there many Super Masters in the Jianghu nowadays?]

Fang Xiaocao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and decided to seize the moment to probe some of the current secrets of Jianghu from Hot Noodles.

In terms of the various forces in Jianghu, there being only Long Lie as a Super Master, Fang Xiaocao doesn’t believe it. Long Lie’s uniqueness is because only he openly acknowledged his Super Master status.

It doesn’t mean he’s the only one.

[Hot Noodles: In your timeline, there is only Long Lie as a visible Super Master, but hidden in the shadows, there are not less than fifty throughout the whole Jianghu.]

"Wow, fifty people?"

"Is it really that many?"

Seeing the number of Super Masters given by Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.

Fang Xiaocao had thought there would be some Super Masters hidden in Jianghu, but never imagined there would be so many.

At this moment, Fang Xiaocao felt secretly relieved.

In recent times, she, along with Tom and Taotie, had been causing a stir in Jianghu, like a big crab, walking around unhindered, yet luckily hadn’t encountered any Super Masters.

If her luck had been worse and she had really met one,

she’d probably not even know how she died.

"Oh gosh, such good luck,"

Fang Xiaocao patted her chest in relief.

[Hot Noodles: You don’t need to worry too much; fifty Super Masters sounds like a lot, but don’t forget, that’s worldwide. Averaged out in the country, it’s just a little more than a dozen.]

[Hot Noodles: Each Super Master is an indispensable stabilizing force. No one would be bored enough to come out and cause you trouble. Only if you touch their core interests might they be forced to invite the super masters, usually revered like ancestors.]

After reading Hot Noodles’ message, Fang Xiaocao felt at ease: "I see, it seems I can continue causing mischief, as long as I don’t provoke those forces with Super Masters, I should be safe."

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself: "No way, I need to ask who exactly in the domestic Jianghu has Super Masters, to be cautious and avoid them."

[Fang Xiaocao: So in the domestic Jianghu, which families have Super Masters in charge?]

[Hot Noodles: Besides Long Lie, the previous Super Master from the Ye Family isn’t dead yet, but is quite old. If not taking action, he might last another decade or so. If he engages in battle against an equal, although he can still kill the enemy, he will surely die post-battle. If attacking top-level masters, one strike halves his lifespan, twice means certain death.]

[Hot Noodles: Apart from the Ye Family, the Tang Sect you are currently sitting in also has two Super Masters. One is very old, in worse shape than the Ye Family elder, the other slightly younger but also doesn’t have much longer. If within thirty years the Tang Sect cannot produce a new Super Master, it will have to downgrade, giving up most of Shu’s land to ensure the Tang Sect’s survival.]

[Hot Noodles: Apart from the Tang Sect, the Blacklist has a Super Master, who is 180 this year. The average lifespan of Super Masters is 200, also very old, doesn’t dare to take action lightly. Each time they act, it causes irreversible harm to their body, plainly speaking, it shortens their lifespan. That’s why the Blacklist has suffered under you repeatedly but didn’t dare to ask the undead elder to act, because you’re not worth it. The loss of using the undead to kill you would definitely outweigh the gain.]

[Hot Noodles: The Pawnshop also has two Super Masters, one aged over 150, the other an ancient tortoise, over 210 years old, so old that they can’t move. Forget facing equals, even striking against Taotie might get exhausted to death by Taotie. The younger one has also reached an age where they dare not act easily, hence why you’re still alive.]

[Hot Noodles: Besides these forces, the black market has two Super Masters, one elder in a similar state to the Ye Family elder, in better shape than those from the Blacklist and Pawnshop. The other is slightly younger, in his nineties, still can act unscrupulously but won’t easily engage with equals to avoid leaving a killing and lifespan shortening disaster.]

At this point, Hot Noodles paused.

Fang Xiaocao was engrossed and wouldn’t let go of such a great opportunity for gossip, so she immediately sent a message urging Hot Noodles to continue.

[Fang Xiaocao: Sister, don’t stop, keep going, I’m itching with curiosity.]

[Hot Noodles: Besides these nine, there are likely three to five others abroad, but all over a hundred years old, it’s hard to say if they’re still alive. Even if they are alive, without major forces supporting them, consuming a lot of human and material resources to maintain their peak, they’re all at the brink of their lives. Even if encountered, unless it’s a life-or-death fight, they basically won’t act easily. Otherwise, if not careful, it could turn into a prolonged battle and they might easily get exhausted to death by Taotie. If you meet, say a few pleasantries, apologize, and there’s nothing to worry about.]

After reading Hot Noodles’ last message, Fang Xiaocao blinked, suddenly feeling that her silly Taotie seemed quite awesome.

Often being used as a benchmark against Super Masters by Hot Noodles, and even in one-on-one scenarios, there is hope of fiercely fighting to death against an old Super Master.

No matter how old, they’re still Super Master.

Even if they’re slow, they can still crush those top-level masters, or else Hot Noodles wouldn’t have singled out Taotie among so many top-level masters under Fang Xiaocao’s command.

"I must get this painting of Shu Han Romance, even if I have to sell off my family’s possessions!"

Fang Xiaocao made a resolute decision.

This ancient painting hiding Taotie’s upgrade to Super is something Fang Xiaocao is determined to acquire.

The appeal of having a Super Master in charge is just too great.

Fang Xiaocao admitted that she was intensely tempted.

At the same time, another doubt arose in Fang Xiaocao’s mind, noticing from Hot Noodles’ message that apart from Long Lie, the other Super Masters, even the youngest from the Tang Sect, are over ninety. This means in the past three or five decades, possibly only Long Lie has broken through.

Could there be some hidden secret here?

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaocao’s heart stirred, and she immediately sent Hot Noodles a message to inquire about her suspicion.

[Fang Xiaocao: Good sister, I have a question. Why are the Super Masters all so elderly? Besides Long Lie, even the youngest Super Masters are over ninety?]

After sending this message, Fang Xiaocao waited for Hot Noodles’ reply while calling Jiang Xinyan.

Du du—

The waiting tone sounded a few times.

[Jiang Xinyan: Princess Your Highness?]
