Chapter 1421

The ants attack, so LC intimidates them with the Heaven Incinerating Flame. The Ant King and Queen then agree to negotiate business terms.
Long Chen shares some wine to drink. They are impressed by the wine.
He then says that he can give them a Divine Flame Crystal to help the ant colony remove their fatal weakness to fire, depending on how much mithril essence they could provide. The Ant King excitedly says they can give Long Chen everything they accumulated in the past 1300 years. The Ant Queen then gives Long Chen 18 vats of essence to Long Chen.
