## Chapter Guide

But LC uses his Spiritual Strength to summon a spiritual furnace.

Even the tower administrator stood up, filled with shock. This was his first time seeing such vast Spiritual Strength.

The registration test only tested the quality of a person's Spiritual Strength. It didn't test the amount they had.

That was because the majority of people had around the same amount of Spiritual Strength. Even if there was a difference, it would be extremely minor. So the more important aspect was the quality.

But the amount of Spiritual Strength Long Chen had displayed was enormous, so enormous that it was terrifying. He was actually able to condense a spiritual pill furnace. Just the exhaustion to do so would be enough to refine a fifth tier pill.

LC makes a nine-ring pill.

Each time they had ridiculed Long Chen, he had used his actions to give them a slap in the face. In refining this one pill, he had essentially slapped the people insulting him multiple times.

The worse a person had insulted him, the more vicious that slap in the face would be. The fact that Long Chen had refined a nine-ring pill from those trash ingredients caused countless people to be furious. He had definitely done that on purpose, just to slap them in the face.

"This Long San really is a badass. Not only are his physical slaps amazing, but even his mental slaps have reached a divine level. Admirable." Fang Chang practically had to prostrate himself in admiration towards Long Chen.

Long Chen's refinement had drawn everyone's attention. Those people who had been planning on dazzling others with their skills ended up giving up. They decided to just use the simplest way to finish their pills.

As a result, this opening round had been completely upset by Long Chen. It ended just like that, without anything else that compared to Long Chen's display.

## Mo, Mu

News spread in Qingzhou that Mo family had disappeared.

Along with Mo Nian, Mu Xue and the others had also gone. They were forcibly taken away by Mo Yi. One reason was for their benefit, and the other reason was for Long Chen's benefit. He didn't want to see them being used against him again.

Mo Yi promised that he would release Mu Xue and the others after three years. Mo Gate would groom them with its full strength. That was definitely thousands of times better than being mercenaries.

Although he expressed his good intentions, Mo Yi had also expressed that Mu Xue had no choice. Whether or not she agreed, she had to do this.

It was a good thing Mu Xue was also an extremely reasonable person. She empathized with Mo Yi and Long Chen's plights, and she expressed that she was extremely excited to receive such a great opportunity. But Long Chen knew she didn't care about this grooming.

Otherwise, with Mu Xue's talent, she could join any sect and receive much better grooming than as a mercenary. The Muxue Mercenary Unit cared more about their freedom than anything else. Mu Xue's happy and excited act was just to comfort Long Chen.

## Back home

There were two bells. Their sounds were completely different. One was used for receiving important guests, alerting the Xuantian Supermonastery's experts to come out and greet them for courtesy.

But the other was the alarm bell. That bell was already slightly rusted, because it seemed this bell had never been rung up until now.

Seeing that Long Chen had returned, that disciple had been incredibly excited, and this huge of a matter was something he had to alert the whole supermonastery about. That would lift the entire mood of the supermonastery.

As a result though, he had mixed up the positions of the two bells, directly ringing the alarm bell.

Shui Wuhen appeared in the sky with her wings. When she saw Long Chen, even with her calm nature, her voice quivered slightly.

In truth, Chen did not have too warm a feeling to the Fang and Chai families, but he was ok with Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo. Although he still felt somewhat guilty using them to eliminate Huo, this is also what Fang and Chai sought to do as well.

"There's still one month until the elimination round. The preliminaries are just a starting round in the rules. The elimination round is ten times more difficult. So this one month's time is very crucial to you. If you pass the elimination round, you'll get another month until the finals. At that time, you'll be competing with Huo Wufang.

"This Pill Emperor Competition isn't just a chance for the Fang, Chai, and Huo families to compete. It's also a chance for you to change your destiny. The top ten will all be given special badges that will allow them to enter Pill Valley later. The top ten are given bountiful rewards, and as for the top three? Hehe, according to previous years, the rewards were so amazing that even I am greedy for them," laughed Fang Mingyuan.

"The Huo family is slowly encroaching on us. There are already several traitors in our families. But although we know that, we're helpless. The Huo family has accumulated an immense amount of wealth, and they've made countless connections.

"If Huo Wufang takes the first place, then with Pill Valley's grooming, the two of our families really might be either forced out of the Pill Tower or exterminated. I've already made my preparations to make a final struggle, but this Long San has caused a change of plans. Let's keep watching. I really don't want to use our last resort. Hopefully, Long San can bring us a new opportunity," said Chai Gaoyang.

The next day, LC heads to the Medicinal Ingredient Repository.

They battle, but LC was simply much stronger.

## Details

"I've already stepped into the Meridian Opening realm and am at the third Heavenstage. I've already thrown you off far into the distance. Now I can crush you as easily as an ant," sneered Han Tianyu.

"Why does that sound so familiar?" Long Chen frowned and then suddenly clapped his hands, exclaiming, "Ah, I remember! A while ago, there was an idiot who said something like that to me. As a result, I ended up slapping him in the face. Could it be that you're related to that idiot?"

"Bastard!" Before Han Tianyu could reply, a fat man in the distance roared.

That person was the one who had been slapped in the face four times by Long Chen, Sha Tonghai. The opening of the supermonastery's death-deciding stage had immediately alerted all the sect leaders, and they had all rushed over to watch.

However, Sha Tonghai had only just arrived when Long Chen helped spread his fame. His face twitched, and he saw quite a few people looking at him oddly.

LC's hand ruthlessly slapped across Han Tianyu's face. In front of everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Han Tianyu was sent flying.

"What kind of technique is this?!" Shui Wuhen was even more shocked. From the time he raised his hand to after it struck, it had seemed like one perfect movement. That smooth and perfect movement warmed the heart and delighted the eye. It had seemed like one indivisible whole.

During his slap, it had felt as if time had stopped. The only thing moving in heaven and earth was his hand, as it swung in that graceful arc. It was so beautiful that it would almost feel blasphemous to interrupt it.

Han Tianyu roared and nine runes appeared on his face. "Nine Line Qi Explosion Art!"

Unbeknownst to Long Chen, the instant he succeeded in gaining control over the dragon scale, within an endless void, a large eye slowly opened.

Although it was just an eye, it was the size of a star. Along with that eye's opening, countless stars within the void began flickering uneasily.

That eye looked toward a certain direction in the void. Incredibly far from it was a mote of dust. Within that mote of dust was Long Chen looking at the dragon scale in his hand with delight.

That eye merely stayed open for a moment before slowly closing again. The starry sky once more returned to calm as if nothing had happened.

## Chapter Guide

Long Chen turned and saw five people walk in. What startled Long Chen was that these people were all wearing red robes. That red was the kind of red that looked like blood. An image of a fierce fiend was embroidered on their chests.

"Corrupt path."

Long Chen immediately recalled that this was Pill Yang Prefecture, and it was considered neutral territory. As long as they didn't intentionally cause trouble for the other, the Righteous and Corrupt paths wouldn't fight here.

But the curious thing was that out of these five people, two of them had the aura of the Heavenly Daos around them. There were actually two Celestials.

These people were participating in the ceremony of Huo Wufang marrying his concubine. This grand ceremony was something the Huo family was holding to tell people it was time to bring gifts.

As for these people, considering how arrogant they were acting, they definitely had received the Huo family's support and had intentionally come here to cause trouble for them.

Although the Fang and Chai families were part of the Pill Tower, the selling of pills was still controlled by the Huo family. Their two families had no direct contact with the buyers, which was why these Corrupt experts dared to do this. To put it simply, they were simply currying favor with the Huo family.

LC slaps the Corrupt Celestials.

"Hehe, I won't hide anything from my two big bros. I, Long San, have had a life full of trouble and misfortune. My road was full of bumps, and I'm always surrounded by all kinds of brutes. If I didn't kill them, they would kill me. I also had no one to help me. So if I wanted to live, I had to make myself more vicious, and so I trained a body of brute strength. To tell the truth, anyone who sees me fight would never believe that I know alchemy," laughed Long Chen.

Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were speechless. That last statement was too true. Even having personally seen him refine pills, they could barely believe he was an alchemist now.

Fang Chang said, "Long San, you really are a monster. You know alchemy, and you know martial arts. Dual martial-pill cultivation is a path of no return, but you have actually reached this level. That really is amazing.

Huo Wufang then shows up.

LC then picks up one of the unconscious Celestials and slaps him in the face multiple times.

"Brother, if this continues, Senior Brother Yaoqi (耀奇师兄) will be killed," said the Celestial.

"Long San, what do you want?!" shouted Huo Wufang.

"I can release him if you want. I just want one thing. If you can bring it out, I'll immediately release him." A certain thought popped into Long Chen's head.

Huayun Pavilion auction starts.

Long Chen has a vision:

A man in a bamboo hat had used a secret weapon to kill Li Hao to prevent him from leaking any secrets.

He had been wearing a hat that had covered his face, and he had moved extremely quickly, but as an alchemist, Long Chen's Spiritual Strength was extremely sensitive.

He didn't need to see that person's face. He could rely solely on that spiritual fluctuation to identify the person. That was because each person's spiritual fluctuation was different. This was a special ability of alchemists, similar to a scent dog's nose. He could not be mistaken.

"So, he's actually one of the crown prince's people." Long Chen's eyes narrowed. Could Chu Yang be the mastermind behind all this? But even as he came up with this thought, the crown prince had already brought Xia Changfeng into another private room.

Chen and his friends then meet Ying Zhao and Yao Niqian.

The instant the dragon scale and the red ray collided, a blinding light made everyone turn away.

Only several breaths' time later did their vision recover. Although that light was still harsh, the peak experts were now able to see through it.

The scale from Long Chen's hand was now floating in the air. It had grown to become a similar size to the crystal bone.

A green light was coming from it that blocked the red light of the crystal bone. The space where they were colliding was constantly shuddering.

"What?! It blocked the crystal bone?!"

"What is that scale?!"

"What kind of Magical Beast's scale could possibly block the attack of a Xiantian crystal bone?!"

LC escapes to a desert with Little Snow.

Little Snow opened his mouth, and a wind blade shot out of it, creating a hundred-mile gorge that was several meters deep and wide.

Long Chen then had Little Snow run within that gorge. The terrain here was a desert, and the ground was very soft. But there was very little wind here to cover up tracks. By cutting open this gorge, his footprints would be hidden as the sand flowed back in.

The next thing he had Little Snow do was spit out multiple wind blades from one location, creating multiple paths that would mislead any trackers.

Furthermore, within the desert, everything blended together. They would only be able to tell the path was wrong when it was just a few dozen miles from ending.

Now, any trackers would have to split up and wait to reconvene before they could continue chasing.

There was no solution to this game. They would have to split up, leaving behind perhaps one person to wait for them back at the center. That one person wouldn't have to play the game.

After fleeing for half a day, Long Chen didn't even know how many of those split up points he had set up. But he estimated it would have to be numbered in the hundreds.

LC spends some time in the Primal chaos space.

LC slaps that tom hooligan towards Huo Wufang.

People had never seen such a bizarre force. How could someone be hit from the front but be sent flying behind the attacker? This move had surpassed the scope of many people's understanding.

Huo Wufang had always been paying attention to Long Chen. Now seeing this person flying over, his expression completely changed. If he was struck, it would be extremely troublesome.

Instead of messing with Long Chen, he had brought trouble to himself. He hadn't expected Long Chen to have enough Spiritual Strength that he dared to leave his furnace.

Huo burns that fool with Flamecloud Palm using his Earth Dragon Golden Blaze.

They continue refining.

"Junior masters Fang and Chai are also finishing up! Amazing, they each have three five-ring pills!"

This was the fourteenth hour. The sky had already darkened. But lanterns kept the surroundings bright as if it were still day.

The remaining alchemists all opened their furnaces, but only eighty-seven people had managed to meet the requirements to pass the elimination round. The failure rate had been ninety percent.

Up until now, the one with the best result was Duan Tianqiao. She was the only one to have refined a six-ring pill, and she was filled with pride.

However, the competition was still not over yet. Long San and Huo Wufang were still refining at a low temperature. Both of them were icily staring at the other, their gazes filled with provocation. They were obviously competing.

One hour... two hours... three hours... Their control over their Pill Flames was absolutely shocking. They continued all the way until the sky brightened once more.

"Time is about up. You should prepare to open your furnaces," said the tower administrator, pointing to the sand. These two fellows had been staring at each other for a full night.

Two bangs rang out. Huo Wufang slowly opened his furnace, causing startled cries to ring out from the crowd.

That expert's Spiritual Strength might be powerful, but it hadn't reached the point where Meng Qi was terrified. It was just that the expert's control over her Spiritual Strength had reached a practically perfect level.

Meng Qi was also an expert at controlling the soul. To have this level of control, this woman's body definitely contained an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years.

Huo Changsheng arrives to take Huo Wufang away.

"Long San, you are amazing! Even a Celestial can be killed by you!" At this time, Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo also came over. They almost prostrated themselves toward Long Chen in admiration. In fact, it was almost a kind of worship.

His alchemy skills were incredible, and his combat abilities were also terrifying. He was a monster; there was no way he was human!

"Sorry, in the Secret Tome Pavilion, I..." apologized Long Chen.

"No need to apologize. You're a member of our Pill Tower. You can learn whatever you want. If others want to fart about it, just let them. Furthermore, any disciple who joins the Pill Tower can enter the Secret Tome Pavilion once a month, and you've only entered once. We didn't break any rules.

Long Chen pulled Xiao Die back with him to the Fang family.

The Fang family head was truly worthy of being a leader. He directly made a large courtyard available for Long Chen and Xiao Die. They had a large house with their own servants.

Long Chen's relationship with the Fang and Chai families had grown even more intimate now. Now they no longer called him the same thing. Instead, they called him junior master Long, a name on the same level as Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo.

First master Chai, second master Fang, and third master Long. Now their three names rang throughout Pill Yang Prefecture.

A large disturbance erupted on the day Long Chen killed the Celestial. However, while the Corrupt path might feel fine abusing the Righteous path, they didn't dare to do anything to the Pill Tower.

Later that evening, the Fang family held a grand feast as a celebration. Fang Mingyuan was growing more and more pleased with Long San.

## Goodbye Xiao Die

When LC returns to his residence, Xiao Die says goodbye and disappears.

"Then you should leave quickly. Remember to tell Xiaoqian that I... um... just tell her that I miss her."

"Thank you, brother Long. I'll definitely pass on your words."

Xiao Die quickly took out a dozen strange bones. Those bones had mysterious carvings on them that possessed powerful spatial strength.

"Will this be sensed by others?" asked Long Chen.

"No. Our original devil race's secret technique causes almost no spatial fluctuations. The people outside this room won't be able to sense a thing."

*Buzz.*

The bones began to glow. Xiao Die was enveloped by a gentle light, and then her body slowly faded.

"Brother Long, thank you for everything. Goodbye." Xiao Die waved all the way until she completely disappeared.

The bones disintegrated, turning into a fine powder.

LC says he will help Fang eliminate the Huo family.

## Preliminaries

Five days passed. The location of the preliminaries was the same as the opening round. But there was a large platform that was filled with seated people.

These people were the experts from the Huo, Fang, and Chai families. They had come as guests of honor. After all, they were the masters of the Pill Tower. But for fairness, they were not in charge of the Pill Emperor Competition.

These guests of honor were the core of the three families. Even the three families' heads had come.

Huo Changsheng, head of the Huo family, and Huo Tianxiong arrive.

The Fang family's head, Fang Mingyuan, and Chai family's head, Chai Gaoyang, also arrived.

In the previous Pill Emperor Competitions, Huo family always took up seven or eight of the top ten spots, while the top three were always ours.

Currently, the Fang, Chai, and Huo families' struggles had already become open ones. They were already used to saying such hostile words.

They were already old opponents, and there was no way to keep things completely secret. It was still possible to see clues.

The matter with the chaos region had completely blown up. Later, the Xuantian Dao Sect had come to find the Huo family. It would be strange if no one saw the connection.

Furthermore, a few days before that, the Huo family had suddenly sealed themselves off for a while. While nothing was certain, it seemed something had happened with Huo Tianxiong. That had made Chai Gaoyang probe Huo Changsheng, and this probing really did give results.

Although there was no way to determine the exact truth, they knew that the Huo family's interior was not as calm as it appeared. That was enough.

Just at this moment, a clamor erupted from the crowd. The alchemists participating in the Pill Emperor Competition had arrived.

LC walks out and sees Huo Changsheng smiling with disdain at him. Seeing that enraged Long Chen, and he suddenly pointed at him, shouting, "Tower administrator, I wish to report that there is a shameless old man wanting to prostitute himself to me! He's trying to affect my performance during the competition!"

"Brother Long, I can't accept this..." Xu Yang couldn't accept it. He had only ever heard of Bone Tempering Pills. But what he had heard was that they were unimaginably expensive.

Furthermore, these ten wind spirit stones were at least ten times better than the one he had obtained in the beginning. The wind energy inside it was incredibly pure.

"As brothers, don't say anything useless. Since I'm giving them to you, just take them. You risked your life to give me information, which saved my friends from calamity. If you don't take them, it means you're looking down on me." Long Chen intentionally turned hostile.

## 9th Divine Musician

Within a remote private room of the Immortal Intoxication Building, a sandalwood incense burner was filling the room with a faint fragrance.

There were two people sitting on a prayer mat. One of them was a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her thirties. She was the older woman and was the Pavilion master.

The other (Zi Yan) was wearing a bamboo hat and a white veil that covered her face. However, her lithe figure made it obvious she was a woman. The two of them were looking at each other. The veiled woman's voice was clear and melodious, almost sounding like music.

Xiao Lü (小绿) reported that Long Chen has come to the Zuixian Building. Xiao Lv said that Long Chen formed a resonance with the ninth generation heavenly music divine emissary.

The 9th Divine Musician spent her life slaughtering gods and devils, even going against the Righteous Path. They were shocked that LC could connect with her painting. They could tell that LC was someone of unusual strength.

They then send Yu Tong to spy on LC.

## Yu Tong

Yu Tong and two other beautiful women enter the private room of LC, Mo, and Mu. Yu Tong sits next to Chen.

LC mistook her for an entertainer and makes crass jokes around her. People in the pavilion gave menacing glares and criticized LC for being 'low-class'. LC then questions what low class and high class mean.

Only now did Long Chen understand why those idiots had come here to act like refined scum. It was all to get these ladies' favor.

The ladies here all possessed a natural high-class Dao charm. That kind of charm was very peculiar, and it made people feel inferior.

They were the truly high-class ones, while this group of idiots had only come to act like playboys. Now they wanted to laugh at others for being vulgar. They definitely hadn't taken their medicine before leaving the house.

The three women couldn't help being amused by Long Chen's cursing.

One of the two men stood up and challenges Long Chen to a deathmatch.

## Pun

"Mister Long Chen, you really possess an interesting character. Handling things magnanimously without bothering about trifling matters makes a broad-hearted man of character." Yu Tong smiled.

"If you want to choose a husband, someone like me is really the top choice. Miss Yu Tong, your vision is really amazing." Long Chen gave Yu Tong a thumbs-up.

Shameless. He had actually twisted her words to make himself sound amazing. Mo Nian was speechless.

## Notes

Long Chen's arm suddenly heated up. He hastily grabbed that arm. Huo Long had almost flown out. It was like a Magical Beast that had been starving for countless years and now finally saw meat. It wanted to swallow all of it in one gulp.

"Huo Long, endure it for now. Now isn't the time. I promise you, if you're patient, these will quickly be yours," Long Chen comforted it.

Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang both used the Blazing Python Scale Flame (炎蟒鳞火). It was ranked fourth on the beast flame rankings, and it was extremely powerful. Although it was one rank lower than Long Chen's Violet Phoenix Sparrow Flame (凤雀紫焰), it was still extremely powerful.

Long Chen didn't dare reveal the Violet Phoenix Sparrow Flame, as that would expose his identity. Using the Blazing Python Scale Flame would be much more convenient.

Long San chooses to refine the Blazing Python Scale Flame.

Suddenly Huo Wufang appears to crash the party. Huo brings his lackeys including Duan Tianjiao.

"Tianqiao, Qifeng (启封), you guys pick out a beast flame." Huo Wufang could only let his people pick out a weaker beast flame.

Seeing Long Chen's sluggish expression, Shui Wuhen almost laughed. But on the outside, she still acted icily, saying, "I asked, why you would maliciously injure someone in the Xuantian Pavilion? Who gave you such nerve?"

Now Long Chen couldn't help smirking inside. He finally understood that Shui Wuhen was saying this to help exonerate himself.

For him to have hit someone here had encroached upon her prestige as monastery head. It was no wonder she had to act angry. But unless Long Chen had razed down the entire Xuantian Pavilion, that kind of offense was not worth the death penalty. At worst, she would just have to ‘severely punish' Long Chen. That was what all these sect leaders wanted to see, as Long Chen was just too fierce, and they needed to suppress him.

LC then explains that he was testing a theory by slapping Sha.

Shui then asks LC to stay behind after the meeting.

Long Chen lightly swung his saber, and Yin Wushuang's arm fell from her body, making everyone jump in shock. Long Chen actually dared sever Yin Wushuang's arm in front of this many people.

Long Chen smiled. He took out three medicinal pills from his spatial ring and forced them down her throat.

"I won't kill you right now. I'll give you seven days to live. But you also don't need to thank me, because during these seven days, you will feel ten thousand ants devouring your heart, ten thousand poisonous bugs sucking up your marrow, and ten thousand insects biting your soul.

"Unless you can find the legendary Thousand Heart Snow Lotus, your body will begin to decay as soon as those seven days are up.

"Your skin will rot first, and then your flesh, and then your bones. Most terrifying of all, you won't even be able to feel this corrosion.

"You'll be able to see your body slowly rotting and falling off, but you won't be able to feel any pain. That's because you'll have already felt all that pain during the first seven days, so you should feel very blessed.

"I'd advise you not to try any pills to expel the poison, because I personally made this poison pill, and there's no one else in the world who understands it.

Long Chen suddenly threw Yin Wushuang over to Han Tianyu, who hastily caught her.

Han Tianyu was filled with disappointment, but he still acted ecstatic and excitedly said, "Sister Wushuang, wonderful! That really scared me to death!"

"AH!"

Han Tianyu suddenly screamed as Yin Wushuang ruthlessly slammed her head against Han Tianyu's nose. His nose broke and he even began to tear up.

One reason was that Han Tianyu had no defense up, while the other reason was how weak he currently was. As a result, his entire face became bloody.

What shocked everyone was that even after smashing his nose, Yin Wushuang still viciously bit his nose as well. Although she had no lower jaw, she used purely her upper jaw's strength to tear off his nose, making Han Tianyu scream and kick her away.

Only after she was kicked away did people see that Yin Wushuang's face was starting to darken and twist, and her body was constantly twitching.

Everyone's hearts turned cold. They all thought of what Long Chen had just said: ten thousand ants devouring your heart, ten thousand poisonous bugs sucking up your marrow, and ten thousand insects biting your soul. (万蚁噬心、万蛊吸髓、万虫啃魂)

The stage had already disappeared now. In front of Han Tianyu, Long Chen's saber was still in a blocking position. Behind him was a three-hundred-meter divine ring. A powerful pressure soared into the sky.

Long Chen's black robe and long hair danced in the wind, and his eyes shone like stars.

"Master Gui Zong, we can still fight!" The female soul cultivator was extremely unwilling. Just now, she had already taken the advantage. If she could kill Meng Qi, Long Chen and the rest would definitely die.

"Don't try any excuses. A failure is a failure. Out of nine Celestials, three died, and half of eighty thousand Xiantian elites also died. Even if you managed to completely slaughter them, it wouldn't change the fact that it was a failure. When you get back, you'll receive your punishments from your sects. Hopefully, you've learned something, and those people didn't die in vain." The Sea Expansion expert's words caused those Celestials' expressions to become exceedingly ugly, but they were also helpless.

Shui Wuhen then appears.

Her appearance calmed all of them. This was part of Long Chen's backup plan. He had known the Corrupt path would very likely not act in accordance with the agreement, and before leaving, he had gotten this jade from her. With her present, everything could be resolved. They could just watch the show.

"Shui Wuhen? I remember you." A cold light shone in the Sea Expansion expert's eyes.

"You should. You are Gui Zong, correct? Eight hundred years ago, you had a brother called Gui Sha whom I killed. I seem to recall that his soul was sealed inside a corpse and used as a trial for our disciples. I'm sure he had a good life all these years," said Shui Wuhen.

Hearing this, Long Chen was startled. It seemed they were all acquaintances. Wasn't Gui Sha the soul in the corpse he had encountered for the disciple trial in the 108th monastery?

From him, he had even swindled the Netherworld Ghost Steps. But that old fellow really had been petty and immediately turned hostile. In the end, he had self-destructed.

It was unexpected for this person to actually be Gui Sha's brother. It seemed friends really did have destiny together.

LC and Shui Wuhen talk about Huo family and Bloodkill Hall.

Bloodkill assassins want to be 'stimulated' so they will never target those weaker than their level.

"Long Chen, the assassins you ran into in Qing Prefecture should have been only gold rank assassins. They are actually quite powerful and can easily kill Xiantian experts. But in front of you, they were obviously too weak. If my guess isn't wrong, the next time they target you, they'll send dark gold assassins," warned Shui Wuhen.

"Why don't they just directly send violet gold assassins?" asked Long Chen.

"Because you aren't a Celestial. They won't send someone stronger than you to assassinate you. Then it wouldn't be an assassination. They want to defeat those stronger than them. If you are able to survive the assassination of the dark gold assassins, the Bloodkill Hall will declare the mission to kill you has ended in failure and the matter will end there. So be careful, because there are precedents of dark gold assassins managing to kill Celestials. Don't be careless," warned Shui Wuhen.

LC leaves and gives Guo Ran a golden fragment for his crafting table.

## Chapter Guide

Barbaric Wind Beast and Violet Phoenix Sparrow fight. Meanwhile, Chen et al attempt to steal the sparrow's eggs.

This place was over thirty miles from the place those Magical Beasts were fighting. And yet, they were still being hit by waves. Fifth rank Magical Beasts were truly too frightening.

"That Violet Phoenix Sparrow is a fire attribute Magical Beast, while the Barbaric Wind Beast is a wind attribute Magical Beast. It's normal for their attack range to grow explosively when their attacks collide. That's right, Meng Qi, if a fifth rank Magical Beast is heavily injured and cannot resist, can you make it into your housepet?" Long Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

If these two Magical Beasts were to take heavy injuries and lose their combat ability, and Meng Qi was able to take them as housepets, then her power would practically be heaven-defying. She would be able to sweep through the entire Jiuli secret realm like that.

Yin Luo? Han Tianyu? Wouldn't they be killed with the wave of a hand?

Meng Qi sighed, "How could that be possible? Once a Magical Beast reaches the fifth rank, their soul will go through a complete transformation. You've also seen that my previous spiritual attack wasn't very effective against the Violet Phoenix Sparrow. That's because their own Spiritual Strength has a definite resistance towards my spiritual attacks. With my current soul energy, it's absolutely impossible to subdue a fifth rank Magical Beast. Unless I first break through to the Bone Forging realm and my Spiritual Strength also transforms, there's no hope at all."

## Eggs

"Violet Phoenix Sparrow eggs!"

There were a total of four large eggs. That was equivalent to four chick Violet Phoenix Sparrows, which was equivalent to four powerful housepets.

These chicks had yet to even hatch. They were still in an extremely disoriented state. Obtaining them as housepets at this time, they wouldn't even need to place slave imprints. They could easily build up trust between them.

Although Magical Beasts were tyrannical and bloodthirsty, they would not betray those that were acknowledged as their companions.

The slave imprint made a Magical Beast unable to resist, but it also affected their growth. Slave imprints were mostly used on matured Magical Beasts.

The worst thing about slave imprints was that by using Spiritual Strength to suppress the Magical Beast, if that restriction ever loosened for any reason, the Magical Beast would immediately retaliate.

But as of now, these Violet Phoenix Sparrows had yet to even hatch. Forming a spiritual connection at this time was easy, and it was the most ideal moment to subdue them.

Other than these four eggs, Long Chen also saw the destroyed shells of another egg. The rumors were true: Violet Phoenix Sparrows gave birth to five eggs, and afterward, they would immediately eat one to replenish their energy.

Then while incubating them, it would continue consuming eggs to replenish its energy stores. In the end, only one chick would be born. Fortunately, they had arrived before the Violet Phoenix Sparrow had consumed another egg.

Huo Wufang meets with over 30 experts, including Evil Path experts (Wu Ming).

## Wedding

The wedding day arrives for Huo Wufang and Hua Biluo. Crowds of people arrive at Pill Yang City.

Countless people were holding fresh flowers on the sides of a ten-mile-wide road, calmly waiting. Suddenly, they saw some activity as a large carriage slowly appeared.

Within the carriage was Hua Biluo. She had been forced to marry Huo Wufang so that the Hua family and her older sister Hua Jinrong could benefit.

Suddenly, the side window of the carriage was opened. A woman stretched her head in.

"Dear sister, do you see? There are so many experts watching! Your wedding is so incredibly grand. You better thank me for this!" This person was Hua Biluo's sister, Hua Jinrong.

But suddenly Long Chen appears in the road in front of the carriage.

Fang Chang: "This road was opened by me."

Chai Liehuo: "These trees were planted by me."

Long Chen: "If you want to use this road, you have to pay my fee."

The three of them shouted together, "Break this rule at your own peril!"

This caused everyone to be dumbfounded. The three junior masters had changed professions to bandits?

Fang Chang: "Men, raise your hands. I came here to snatch money, not to snatch women!"

Chai Liehuo: "Women, raise your legs! I came here to snatch women, not to snatch money!!"

Long Chen: "What are you two doing? If you snatch the women and the money, what am I supposed to do?"

"What?"

Even the nobles weren't able to control themselves. After Long Chen's explosion, seven cyclones vaguely appeared behind his body.

"He's actually only at the seventh Heavenstage of Qi Condensation?"

The current Long Chen was practically a Magical Beast in human form. His great power shocked everyone. Huang Chang had been caught off-guard and actually received a slight injury.

However, Huang Chang's strength also rises to 7th heavenstage.

Yue Xiaoqian departs.

But she leaves a mark on Chen.

This mark seemed to have become a birthmark, fusing into his skin and flesh. There was no way to erase it at all.

But at least she hadn't left this mark on his face.

Lightly rubbing that crescent moon on his arm, a strange feeling arose in Long Chen's heart. It was as if he could once more see that soul-stealing visage.

## Cultivation

While connecting to the dragon scale, he had also advanced a level, reaching the fourth Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation.

But the Spiritual Qi in the Jiuli realm was dense, so many others probably advanced too.

Furthermore, after advancing to Bone Forging, the most important thing was to temper your bones. The more you could temper, the stronger you would be.

It could be said that of the five Houtian realms, the Bone Forging realm was the one with the greatest combat difference between the weak and the strong. That was something that didn't have to do with cultivation base, but with how many bones you had tempered.

## Righteous Evil battle

When the Jiuli realm closes, there would be an epic battle between the Righteous and Evil Paths at Death-Deciding Valley.
