Chapter 1053

Long Chen gives the Dragonmark warriors some 'candy' (the Bitter Earth Mortal Molting Pill) to strengthen them.
LC then asks Guo Ran to send his application to the Alchemy Pavilion. LC knows he would be rejected, but wanted to record their reason.
LC then goes into seclusion in the outer sect, refining Heavenly Star Sea Merging Pills with Huo Long's help.
When Huo Long absorbed the Earth Flame, it split bodies, awakening a new ability.
