Chapter 651 - Beginner’s Land
Mobile Read
Danyang Prefecture was the smallest land area among the surrounding prefectures. Its circumference was only a few million Li, which was about the same as the Chaos Territory.
However, this was the richest province in all of the Eastern Wastelands. And in the entire province, there was only one owner — Pill Tower.
Everything here was under the jurisdiction of the Pill Tower. No sect had the ability to establish themselves here, and no one dared to come here to earn a living.
Danyang Prefecture was a paradise for alchemists. Most of the cultivators who came here were alchemists. Not only was the Pill Tower rich in resources, it could gather more than 80% of the alchemy cultivators here.
Only by joining the Pill Tower could one learn the alchemy techniques passed down from the ancient times. Only by joining the Pill Tower could one ascend to the peak of the Pill Dao. These were the first words that every alchemist said to his disciple.
This was because only by joining the Pill Tower would one day have the chance to enter the sacred land of alchemy cultivators — the Pill Valley.
The Pill Valley represented the authority of pill refining techniques in this world and was the most sacred power in this world. There was no alchemist who did not view joining the Pill Valley as a lifelong goal.
The entire Dan Yang Prefecture was like a city. It was so big that there was almost no end to it. There were dozens of roads that were hundreds of miles wide that could be used to drive through.
Even the magical beast pulling the carriage was a Xiantian level magical beast, because if it was a narrow magical beast, it would be impossible to run away from it.
The main reason was because the city was too big. Without a sharp means of transportation, it would take them several days to walk through the city. That would be too inconvenient.
In addition, in the entire city, there were many tall demonic beasts that flew past, but the people below were already too lazy to even glance at the gigantic beast in the sky.
This was the sphere of influence of the Pill Tower. No one dared to be impudent here. Once here, no matter how vicious they were, they would behave themselves.
Furthermore, the flying magical beasts that were able to fly here were all registered by the Pill Tower. Every flying magical beast had a huge symbol on their neck, and it was a pass. Only with this permit could they fly, or else they would be killed by the Pill Tower’s guards. Read the full text of the latest chapter
The number of passes issued here was limited. Not everyone had the qualifications to obtain one. Being able to ride on a flying magical beast was a symbol of one’s status.
In the center of Danyang City, within a radius of ten thousand miles, there was a tall tower. The tower was extremely tall, and when it reached the clouds, one couldn’t even see the top of it from the outside.
This was the symbol of the Pill Tower — Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. With the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda as the center, the area of ten thousand miles was prohibited from flying. No one was allowed to fly a magical beast, otherwise, both humans and magical beasts would be killed.
This area was the heart of the Pill Pagoda, and was also known as the pagoda area. Only alchemists had the right to enter this area, and to other cultivators, it was a forbidden zone.
In a restaurant on the outskirts of the pagoda region, Long Chen sat in a corner and enjoyed a sip alone.
He had been here for three days and was familiar with this unfamiliar environment. He had also studied some of the knowledge related to the Pill Tower. Although it wasn’t much, it should be sufficient.
After eating his fill, Long Chen planned on finding a place to rest and figure out how to sneak into the Pill Tower.
Unknowingly, Long Chen had walked into a secluded alley. This alley was a little shabby and looked very unremarkable. It was exactly what Long Chen wanted.
"Customer, do you want to stay? "Our guest rooms are very clean and the price is extremely cheap. Come in and take a look."
As Long Chen was walking, a small door suddenly opened on the side. A young girl that seemed to be thirteen or fourteen looked timidly at Long Chen. She was the one who said those words.
The little girl could not be considered beautiful. She was very thin and had an unhealthy pale yellow complexion. It could be seen with a single glance that she was somewhat malnourished. However, her eyes were very nimble and clear like water, causing people to feel pity for her.
"Have you memorized these words for a long time?" Long Chen looked at the little girl and smiled.
When the little girl saw that someone had arrived, she mustered up her courage to come out. However, when she saw the drooping corners of Long Chen’s eyes and that wicked smile on his face, she couldn’t help but panic.
"I… "I …" The little girl pinched the hem of her clothes, not daring to speak.
Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It seemed that his face was pretty good. Even his little friend was frightened by it.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m not a good person, but I’m not a bad person either!”
Long Chen’s voice didn’t change. It was still so magnetic, causing the little girl’s heart to slightly loosen.
"Customer, do you want to stay in the inn?" Our guest rooms are very clean, and the price is extremely cheap. There was a trace of hope in her eyes.
“Hmm, not bad. You’ve made progress. Now that you’ve spoken, you’re no longer as stiff as before, and your speech has become much smoother.”
Just based on your persistence and improvement, okay, then I’ll come in and take a look, but let me put it bluntly first. Long Chen said with a smile.
"En! Thank you for your objectivity. Please come in!" The young lady was overjoyed as she hurriedly led the way.
Long Chen entered the door and saw that this wasn’t an inn. It was clearly a small farmhouse with a two-story wooden house, and even the farm tools in the yard hadn’t been tidied up yet. From behind a wooden board, Long Chen could see a hoe and sickle.
However, it had to be said that the interior was tidily tidied up. After entering the house and going up to the second floor, the girl opened a door. There was a bed inside, and there was no ‘then’, not even a desk.
The bedding on the bed was neat and tidy. The bedding was not completely new, but it was washed very cleanly. Moreover, the Long Chen could smell the sun’s scent. The bedding must have been sun-bathed in the day. This feeling was very good.
Looking out of the small window, one could actually see a small lake, a light boat swimming in water. It was a pretty good painting.
“Esteemed customer, please take a look. Are you satisfied? If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, please tell me. I’ll try my best to help you settle it!” The little girl said, somewhat perturbed.
"Not bad. Simple and clear. The scenery is pleasant. You can even count stars while lying on the bed." Long Chen nodded.
"Aiya!"
The young girl followed Long Chen’s gaze and couldn’t help but blush. On the roof, there was a hole the size of a plate. She hadn’t noticed it before.
"Dear customer, please wait a moment. I will go up and repair it right away!" The young lady said as she reached for the ladder.
“Forget it. There won’t be any rain for the next few days. The All-Seeing Window isn’t bad. It’s blocked up, so it’s a bit of a bad scene.” Long Chen said as he shook his head.
"Customer, you … 'Interesting! 'The young lady couldn’t help but relax when she saw Long Chen’s funny words. She no longer felt so nervous.
“Hmm, what’s the price for such a grand room?” Long Chen asked.
The girl immediately revealed an awkward expression and stuttered for a long time. Then, she said nervously, "What do you think? One silver coin a day … "Can I?"
"One silver coin a day?" Long Chen frowned.
“Ah! If you think it’s expensive, you can bargain!” The young lady was frightened when she saw Long Chen frown and hastily said, afraid that Long Chen would leave.
“Isn’t this price too cheap in the Land of Dan Yang?” Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
Hearing that Long Chen didn’t think that it was too expensive, the little girl immediately revealed a happy expression. After Long Chen said this, he couldn’t help but dejectedly say:
"This is our own house. Grandfather had saved up for many years before he finally bought this house. We are preparing to turn this place into an inn, hoping to earn some money.
"I hope that I can manage this inn well and support grandfather. Hehe, you are the first guest of our inn."
As she finished speaking, the little girl’s face was filled with joy. It was obvious that Long Chen’s arrival had made her very happy.
"Xiao Cui, hurry up and call the guests over for dinner." Suddenly, an aged voice came from downstairs.
“He’s here, he’s here! Let’s go eat!”
Long Chen followed the little girl downstairs. They saw an old man standing by the table. He was listening carefully, and it turned out to be a blind man.
“Customer, please don’t mind a little light food. Please don’t mind it.” The old man clasped his hands at Long Chen and spoke in a very refined manner.
"Old sir is too courteous. There is no difference between noble and lowly people, and there is no difference in the thickness of a meal. If so, then I will have to trouble you!"
Long Chen was slightly polite before he sat down. There were only a few vegetables and no meat. The soup was the Chinese cabbage bean curd soup, so the taste was quite good.
Long Chen discovered that when the little girl was serving him soup, she had made quite a lot of tofu, but when she made the soup for him, it was all green vegetables. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
“So it turns out that little brother is not someone from the Danyang Prefecture. I wonder if you’re here to settle some matters, or to marry someone?”
When they were eating, some of them started to talk, and the old man couldn’t help but ask curiously when he noticed that Long Chen was approachable.
“Hehe, I’m preparing to come here to have a meal. Tomorrow, I will go out and find something to do to earn some money.” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Big brother, is one silver coin a day too expensive for you? Why don’t you stay with us for now and give it to us when you have the money?” The little girl said. She was already familiar with him so she started to change her words.
“Hahaha, this is all just money. Don’t worry, my current boss is fat and oil is flowing. At that time, I will invest in a large tavern for all of you. Xiao Cui, you’ll be the boss.” Long Chen laughed loudly.
Even though the two of them had been through many hardships, their hearts were not kind. Long Chen hadn’t met such a simple and honest person in a long time.
“Xiao Cui, from tomorrow on, you will buy more meat and wine. Big brother has a craving for meat, so he doesn’t like it.” Long Chen directly threw a money pouch to Xiao Cui. There were more than 100 gold coins inside, something that Long Chen hadn’t used in a long time.
"Oh my god, so many?" Xiao Cui was shocked, she had never seen so much money before, buying this small Monastery was only worth a few dozen gold coins.
Long Chen chuckled. This child was too thin and was still growing, so she needed some nutrition. Long Chen returned to his room and slept for a bit. The next morning, he headed straight to the pagoda region.
Chapter 652 - Registration

The next morning, Long Chen recovered his spirit and went straight to the pagoda. That was the core of the Pill Yang Province.
“Scram! Scram! Those who don’t wish to die, scram!”
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from behind him. An enormous carriage was speeding straight towards Long Chen. It was about to collide with him.
It was a six-horned Barbaric Cow and an early Heaven Stage magical beast. They were over a hundred meters long.
This was an official road and ordinary people did not dare to come up. Long Chen walked to the side of the road and could be said to not delay others at all. However, this Barbaric Cow was heading straight for Long Chen, obviously wanting to kill him on purpose.
"Damn it! Sure enough, we can meet idiots wherever we go!"
"Boom!"
Long Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the huge horn of the Barbaric Cow. The rapidly running Barbaric Cow suddenly stopped.
However, the Barbaric Cow stopped. However, due to the fact that its speed was too fast, seven to eight figures immediately flew out of the carriage.
They let out a cry of alarm as they crashed through the floor of the car and rolled on the ground far away before finally coming to a stop.
"Where did this blind idiot come from, do you want to die?"
A man wearing a long white robe got up from the ground and shouted.
"Buzz!"
Just as that person finished cursing, the sky suddenly darkened. A huge Barbaric Ox brought along a carriage and smashed down at them. They were so scared that their faces turned green, and they immediately scattered in all directions.
"Boom!"
The Six Horned Bull was ruthlessly thrown to the ground and directly lost consciousness. The luxurious carriage was directly smashed into smithereens as the terrifying shockwave directly sent those people flying.
"Bastard, you are courting death, how dare you …"
"Pa!"
A huge slap landed heavily on that person’s face, directly slapping his mouth crooked and causing him to spurt out a large mouthful of blood.
"I advise you to keep your mouth clean!"
After Long Chen sent that person flying with a slap, he coldly looked at them and said, “He doesn’t understand why these idiots want to kill him.”
Previously, he did not emit any kind of aura. He was just like an ordinary person, how did he offend anyone?
If it was said that Long Chen found him unpleasing to the eye, then he would admit it. But if the other party had bumped into him from behind, could it be that his back was unpleasing to the eye as well?
"Who the hell are you? "You actually dare to block the registration of the disciples of the Pill Tower. Do you know that only the disciples who register at the Pill Tower can walk this path?" a man roared.
They were all Xiantian realm experts, but their auras were weak. Long Chen understood now that these people were actually a group of alchemists.
A Pill Cultivator’s body was weak, almost the same as a Soul Cultivator. When they went out, they would ride a carriage or ride a flying magical beast. No wonder they fell so miserably.
"Only the disciples of the Pill Tower are allowed to enter this path. So when you see me clearly walking on the side of the road, you want to crush me to death?"
This is because the rules here state that only registered disciples can pass. Even if you squash someone to death, you’ll just treat it as entertainment to order your magical beasts to crash into me? " Long Chen sneered.
"So what? "This is the Danyang Prefecture, and all the rules were set by the Pill Tower. If you break the rules, you should be killed even if you were to crash into it!" the person shouted coldly.
"Pa!"
After that person finished speaking, his vision blurred and he was viciously slapped in the face. Long Chen looked down on people who failed to act tough but still continued to act tough.
That person was sent flying by Long Chen’s slap. He coughed out a large mouthful of blood in the air and was immediately caught by those people. However, he had already lost consciousness.
Those people were shocked and angered. They did not expect that within the boundaries of the Pill Tower, there would actually be someone who dared to openly oppose the Pill Tower.
“Idiot, since you can walk this path, I can also walk. If you dare to force me any further, I’ll beat you until your teeth are all over the ground!” Long Chen said and continued walking forward with three steps.
These people could not help but be stunned. Suddenly, one of them asked in bewilderment, "Could it be that he is also here to register?"
“F * ck, regardless of whether he’s registered or not, if he dares to bully us, we will definitely take revenge.”
“This man is big and strong, but he has no strength. He is definitely trash when it comes to alchemy. When the time comes, we’ll play this bastard to death!” The first person to step out and speak to Long Chen said hatefully.
"Brother Tuo, your mount is unconscious. It seems that it is seriously injured. What should we do?" a man asked.
“What else can we do? F * ck, this beast is too disappointing. He’ll just kill him and treat you guys to beef tonight!”
These people stood up while groaning. Another powerful warrior opened his soul space and released a Black Rock Demon Leopard.
Although they were not beast tamers, their soul force was strong enough to control their mounts. A few of them jumped onto the back of the Demon Leopard and continued to fly forward.
However, the backs of cheetahs were definitely not as comfortable as the carriages. Moreover, it was a bit embarrassing for the eight of them to ride the same demonic leopard. However, the divine artifact had already been broken by Long Chen, so they had no choice but to leave.
When they passed by Long Chen once again, they purposely let him go. After they left him far behind, one of them arrogantly said:
"Kid, just you wait. Your father will have something for you once we arrive at the Pill Tower!"
Long Chen’s face darkened as he raised his leg to give chase. Those people screamed out in fear as they desperately lashed out at the demonic leopard, transforming into a black stream of light and disappeared into the distance.
"Ai, is it because their fate is bad or my fate is bad? I always run into idiots like these …" Long Chen was speechless.
At the same time, Long Chen was filled with confidence about his mission. It would definitely be more lively in the Pill Tower than anywhere else.
Long Chen discovered that there were more idiots looking at people with their noses than with their eyes at the top of the world in alchemy. It seemed like this was yet another adventure.
Along the way, dozens of carriages sped past Long Chen like lightning under the frantic attacks of the demonic beasts.
There were a few times when someone had the magical beast approach Long Chen in an attempt to scare him. They wanted to see Long Chen make a fool of himself, but Long Chen had ignored them.
However, apart from the first wave of people, no one else seemed to be so bored as to bully an unarmed "mortal".
Their luck was pretty good. If they really wanted to kill Long Chen, their fates wouldn’t be that much better than the others.
However, what shocked Long Chen the most was that these people were all Xiantian realm experts, and the fire energy fluctuations from their bodies were extremely powerful. They were all extremely powerful alchemists.
From the looks of it, they were all level 1 Pill Emperor. Long Chen initially wanted to conceal his pill refining skills, but now it seemed that there was no need.
After running for more than two hours, a huge city gate appeared in front of them. The people who had been on the carriages earlier all got off from their cars and walked over. They then took out their nameplates in front of the city gate.
The soldiers in front of the city gates inspected the nameplates of those people before letting them in. When they arrived at Long Chen’s place, Long Chen took out the nameplate that Master Yun Qi had left for Long Chen.
When the garrison saw the nameplate in Long Chen’s hand, his pupils couldn’t help but constrict. He sized Long Chen up, but didn’t say anything. He just let Long Chen in.
This discovery surprised Long Chen. Was his nameplate different from others? However, before Long Chen could understand what was going on, he had already followed the flow of people.
What Long Chen didn’t expect was that there would be so many people. There were several hundred of them, and Long Chen just followed them.
Long Chen could see endless excitement on the faces of these people. It was obvious that they were looking forward to this registration.
Long Chen suddenly felt that something was amiss. This registration was different from the past. There were no Pill King level people here, all of them were level 1 Pill King.
As they walked along the road, they saw a large group of people. There were over a thousand people, varying in age and weight.
In front of him was a ten-zhang tall black rock with countless ancient runes engraved on it. It was unknown what these runes were used for.
In front of the black boulder, there was an old-fashioned looking old man.
“What’s your name?”
"Zhu Dejun!"
"From where?"
“Wing Prefecture Pill Cultivator’s Guild!”
"Go and take the test!"
After the old man finished recording, he pointed towards the rock behind him with a deadpan expression. In front of the rock was a small staircase, allowing one to stand on it.
Suddenly, countless runes lit up on the black volcanic rock that the person was standing on. A ray of light shone on the person’s body, and an ancient script appeared on the black volcanic rock.
The old man nodded and said, "Bone age 87, meets the standard. Next, test soul strength. Hold down the red button and use all your soul force."
Hearing that, the person pressed a hand on the red button, and a small door appeared in front of them.
That wasn’t a real door, but a small virtual door. When that person saw the small door appear, a powerful soul force rushed towards the small door from between his eyebrows.
"Buzz!"
Lines of markings appeared on the huge rock.
"Profound first level soul power, unqualified!"
After the old man finished speaking, he drew a big "X" on the paper he wrote down earlier and left with a sad face.
With the defeat of that person, many people’s hearts immediately rose to their throats. Next, another person went up to take the test.
After continuously testing ten people, five of them had failed. As for Long Chen, he discovered that only those under 100 years of age who had soul force above the Earth realm were considered qualified.
Moreover, even if the person passed, their soul power would be ranked according to their age, and they would be divided into two levels, passing and outstanding.
As time passed, some stayed, some left. Suddenly, Long Chen saw a familiar figure. Wasn’t that the fellow he had ruthlessly lashed out with?
This guy also saw Long Chen standing in the line behind them. Their group had long since started pointing at him with expressions of contempt and provocation. It was clear that they had been taught a lesson by Long Chen and were here to get back at him.
After the first few people passed the test, they all failed. One must know that the tests here were different from the ordinary tests. Before they came, they had all gone through a round of tests, yet at this point, they were still eliminated.
"Name?" The old man said stiffly.
Seeing that it was finally his turn, the man shook his head and said confidently:
"Gongji Ba!"
The old man’s face immediately darkened as he slapped the man’s face. “Scram! You dare to mess with this old man!”
Chapter 653 - Skywalker Level 1

That person let out a blood-curdling screech and was struck against the stone wall behind him. He immediately lost consciousness, causing everyone to cry out in alarm.
Gou Ji Ba? This son must be the son of the Old Wang from next door. Otherwise, why would he give such a name? Long Chen was speechless.
"Senior, Brother Jieba does not have any intentions of entertaining you. His name is Gou Jieba. His father is the enemy of the Great Ming Ding!" A person quickly stepped forward to explain.
Everyone could not help but have a strange expression on their faces when they heard this. Gou Ji Ba? Are you sure you’re not a diverter?
"Gou family in Jiluo Prefecture?" The old man in charge of recording suddenly came to a realization.
"Yes!"
“Cough cough, sorry to misunderstand. Sigh, the Gou family’s reputation is indeed shocking …” That old man was a bit embarrassed.
At this time, someone else had already went over and helped Gou Ji Ba up and gave him a pill. At this moment, he had already slowly woken up.
"Senior, this junior is indeed called Gou Ji Ba. Take it: Ji Luo, Bi Luo, and ask about the concept of the blue sky. Senior, please examine it clearly …" Gou Ji Ba said with extreme grievance.
“This old man is being reckless. Come, let’s continue. Name …” The old man said somewhat unhappily.
"Gongji Ba!"
"From where?"
"Jiluo State Pill Cultivator Guild!"
“Come, let’s begin the test!”
"Bone Age: 31. Very good. The strength of the soul, seven days of Earth Grade. Very good. The people of the Gou clan are indeed not bad."
The old man nodded his head in approval and wrote a few words below his information: Exquisite.
Qualified, outstanding, very outstanding. Now that there was a third standard, this Gou Jiabao was indeed very serious.
Gou Ji Ba could not help but laugh out loud. However, his laughter had caused his wounds to be affected, causing him to tear up in pain. This was a typical way of crying from extreme joy.
The defeated ones left dejectedly, while the ones who stayed behind had joyous looks on their faces. At the same time, they were gloating over the misfortune of those who were lined up nervously behind them.
However, of the eight people in Gou Ji Ba’s group, only four succeeded. The other four could only sadly leave. However, they did not feel any sorrow, nor did they even speak a word of false consolation.
"Name"
"Duan Ling Tian Jiao."
Hearing the voice, Long Chen suddenly froze. It was a female alchemist.
The woman was not tall and petite, so many people couldn’t see her in the crowd.
Her appearance at this time had attracted the attention of everyone. Because females belonged to the yin while females belonged to the yang, female alchemists were few and far in between.
Although this woman wasn’t tall, she had a pure appearance with a peachy face and almond-shaped eyes. She already had a good appearance, and with the support of so many men, she looked even more charming and charming, causing one’s eyes to light up.
Even the old man was slightly surprised. He took a close look at the girl and continued:
"From where?"
“Lihua Province Pill Cultivator’s Guild!”
"Step forward for the test!"
"Yes!"
The woman smiled and walked up the stairs confidently. Suddenly, a ray of light enveloped her.
"Bone age twenty-six!"
The moment this number appeared, everyone was shocked. To be able to advance to the Xiantian realm at the age of twenty-six, that was truly terrifying.
When Gou Ji Ba saw this figure, his complacent face seemed as if he’d been slapped once again.
He was already considered to be a genius in alchemy when he advanced to the Xiantian realm at the age of thirty-one. This woman was actually much younger than him. This made his expression a little unnatural.
“Soul power, ninth rank Earth Realm. Good, very good. With your soul power, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you can refine a sixth rank pill!” The old man was finally moved. This was the first time he spoke so much.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior. The Skywalker level expert came to the Pill Tower to cultivate with a pious heart." Duan Tian Jiao deeply bowed to the old man and said humbly.
However, although she appeared humble on the surface, the excitement in her eyes proved that her heart was not as calm as it appeared.
"Haha, good. Young man, if you are not proud of your talent, then you will be." The old man nodded as he praised.
This made Gou Jiabao even more unhappy. This was no different from slapping his face; he had already been a bit proud before.
However, what made Gou Jiabao slightly at ease was that underneath Duan Tian Jiao’s information, it similarly wrote: Extremely outstanding.
This was to say that Duan Tianjiao was on the same level as him, then he would be completely at ease and continue watching the people behind him.
The people behind seemed to be affected by Duan Ling Tian. Out of the 30 plus people, only 7 or 8 passed. Finally, there was no one in front of Long Chen.
"Name"
"Long San!" Long Chen said casually.
The old man frowned and looked at Long Chen. The name Long San didn’t sound good no matter how he looked at it.
"From where?"
"In the Forest of Forest Forest in Forest Forest near the Dog Slaughtering Village in Wild Horse Stream, Qingzhou." Long Chen replied.
Long Chen remembered the name of the village he had passed by when he was with Mu Xue’s mercenary group. It was too easy to remember this name.
"You … Are you here to entertain this old man? " The old man almost slapped him again. However, after the previous example, he restrained himself.
Everyone was stunned when Long Chen announced the name. Those who were able to come here had to go through the Alchemy Guild of each prefecture to obtain a keepsake. Would this kid be courting death?
However, he didn’t expect that the old man actually didn’t pull Long Chen. He was so angry that his lungs were about to burst, so why did he suddenly get slapped when the old man announced his real name? This brat clearly had a long face, why didn’t you slap him?
"Absolutely not. What I said was the truth." Long Chen shook his head and said very seriously.
The old man asked, "How did you come in?"
"I showed the nameplate to the guard at the door, so I came in." Long Chen said as he handed his nameplate to the old man.
When the old man saw the nameplate, his pupils couldn’t help but constrict, "Pill Valley nameplate? Where did you get it? "
“My master gave it to me. Before he died, he said he wanted me to bring this token to Pill Valley and say that I’d definitely be able to make a living!” Long Chen said.
"Make a living?"
Everyone could not help but be stunned. A noble alchemist was only there to make a living? Was this desecration of the Pill Tower?
"Who is your master?" the old man asked.
“My name is Yun Qi, he adopted me. He taught me alchemy deep in the mountains, and I’ve never left the mountains. One day, I couldn’t even treat my injuries, so before he died, he gave me this plaque and told me to come here and find a job.”
He said that with my talent, I must eat, eat, drink, buy a car, buy a house and a bunch of wives and concubines here. " Long Chen said.
The old man was almost amused. He was already treating the Pill Tower as a place to mess around, but these Pill Valley nameplates were something to be reckoned with.
These Pill Valley nameplates had long since disappeared from the outside world and were basically taken away by the Pill Valley. When faced with such nameplates, the Pill Tower must give them a fair chance to take the exam.
"Do you know what this place is for?" the old man asked.
“I don’t know.” Long Chen shook his head.
"This is the competition held once every hundred years. Are you sure you want to participate?" the old man asked.
"The Star of the Pill Emperor? Is there something good to take? " Long Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. He hadn’t thought that he would encounter such a good opportunity.
The old man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t know anything about this silly kid who came out of a ravine.
“Forget it, let’s not care about whether there are good things here. Let’s determine your qualifications and test your bone age and soul force first.”
The old man left a blank spot on the column where Long Chen had come from and immediately moved on to the next one.
Long Chen slowly walked towards the stairs. A taunting look appeared in Gou Ji Ba’s eyes as he waited to see Long Chen make a fool of himself.
"Eighteen years of age."
"Hua!"
All of a sudden, everyone was stunned, as they looked at Long Chen as if he was a monster. This stupid kid was actually only 18 years old. Were they mistaken?
They weren’t the only ones who thought that there was a mistake. Even that old man felt that there was a mistake as well. After a new test, he was still eighteen years old.
"An eighteen year old Xiantian realm? What nonsense is this?"
"How can a pill cultivator cultivate so quickly?" Does he need to condense his soul power? Is he an alchemist or not? "
Suddenly, everyone exploded. Alchemy cultivation wasn’t fast, because their cultivation base was only supplementary. Soul power and alchemy fire power were the main force.
If one’s cultivation speed was too high and their soul force and alchemy power couldn’t keep up, then that was the same as crippling one’s own future.
Thus, seventy to eighty percent of alchemist experience focused on condensing alchemy fire and cultivating soul force. Duan Tianjiao’s previous age was already shocking to the extreme.
Long Chen was an 18 year old alchemist, so it was impossible. No one would believe such a ridiculous thing.
“He’s a martial cultivator. He definitely isn’t a pill cultivator. He’s just an idiot who came to stir up trouble and stir up trouble.” Gou Ji Ba couldn’t help but ridicule him.
"Shut up. If anyone dares to make any more noise, expel them immediately!" The old man snorted coldly.
One had to know that the old man was a Sea Cleaving Stage powerhouse, but he was also a powerful pill cultivator. His soul force was as vast as the sea, and he could feel the difference in Long Chen’s soul force.
“Next up, let’s test your soul force!” The old man said.
A small door also appeared in front of Long Chen. When that door appeared, Long Chen felt a strong pressure that actually suppressed his soul force. No wonder those people from before were so confident that they failed. So this was the problem.
It seemed that the test here was completely different from their previous test. Long Chen hesitated for a moment before slowly extending his soul force out.
When Long Chen’s soul force collided with the door, countless runes suddenly lit up on the enormous stone tablet. Even the sky was lit up by the light.
"This… 'A first rank Skywalker soul force actually appeared! "An ecstatic expression appeared on the old man’s face.
Skywalker?
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Gou Ji Ba’s mouth was as wide as his face and his eyes were as round as beads.
An eighteen year old Xiantian realm? His soul power had reached the first level of Skywalker? Was he telling a story?
Under Long Chen’s information, the old man wrote two words: Genius!
Qualified, outstanding, extremely outstanding, a genius. Long Chen was currently the highest existence amongst the four levels.
Long Chen faintly smiled in his heart. Just a little bit of soul power was enough to reach the first rank of the Heaven Stage. If he were to use his full strength, the stone tablet would instantly explode, scaring a group of people to death.
After the test, Long Chen asked around and found out that there were a total of three days. There were still a lot of people coming over later, and Long Chen was too lazy to look at anyone else. He said goodbye to the old man and went back.
Returning to the small alley, Long Chen suddenly discovered that there were a lot of burly men in the alley. At the same time, Long Chen heard the sound of crying coming from his house and could not help but quicken his steps.
“If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and f * ck off!” Suddenly, two big men stopped Long Chen’s path.

"Clap clap!"
Long Chen waved his hand and two large slaps landed on the two people’s faces. The two Blood Solidification Realm men were sent flying and knocked over a dozen people behind them. Long Chen ignored the shocked crowd and entered the Monastery…
The small Monastery was still the same, Xiao Cui and his grandfather were forced to a corner, and seeing that the old man’s forehead was broken, blood flowed out, and he fell onto the ground, while Xiao Cui protected her grandfather in fear, begging for mercy.
“I beg you, please don’t hit my grandfather!” Xiao Cui’s voice was filled with tears, she was clearly terrified.
A knife-scarred man stood in front of the crowd and cursed, “Idiot commoner, I’ve already said that young master Huo has set his eyes on this piece of land and told you to get lost as soon as possible. You still refuse to leave? If you don’t scram, you’ll be beaten to death!”
“Warriors, I beg you to have mercy on us. This old man spent his life’s worth of savings to buy this Monastery. I hope this Monastery is still alive. If you chase us away, we will both die!” The old man begged.
“You truly are an idiot. Young Master Huo has already taken a liking to this place, and no one else has moved away, yet you still want to buy this land?” Cut the crap, get out of here! “In a few days, the construction of the manor will begin. Don’t waste your time!” The knife-scarred man shouted coldly.
"But… "But we spent money to buy this, the deeds are all here, can you not be so hasty?" Xiao Cui summoned up her courage and said.
"Oh? He actually had a room deed? “That’s easy. Take it out. As long as you have the contract, we can compensate you according to your original price.” The knife-scarred man said.
Hearing that, Xiao Cui was ecstatic, she immediately went to her room, in a moment, a worn-out piece of paper appeared in her hands.
"This is the contract. We are not lying to you."
The knife-scarred man took the room deed and nodded. “That’s right, it is indeed the house deed …”
With that said, the knife-scarred man sneered and tore the room deed into pieces right in front of Xiao Cui. With a wave of his hand, the paper flew into the air and Xiao Cui was instantly stunned.
"There’s no room deed now, right? “Hurry up and get lost!” The scar-faced man shouted coldly.
"You … You. "Bullying…" Xiao Cui did not expect the person in front of her to be so detestable, seeing that the house deed had been destroyed by them, she anxiously cried.
The knife-scarred man frowned when he saw this and became impatient. He waved his hand to the people behind him, "Drag them away!"
“Saber Bro, it’s not good to shout like this!” one of them said, feeling troubled.
“You’re so stupid. Can’t you knock me out? Do you need me to teach you guys something like this?”
Hehe, no matter what, you’re still a girl, what you want to do, that’s your business, hurry up, don’t talk nonsense, time is short, if you delay the project, none of us will have a good life. " The knife-scarred man shouted coldly.
As the knife-scarred man finished his sentence, a few people’s eyes lit up. Just as they were about to move, a cold voice was heard.
“I’m curious. If you do such evil things, why doesn’t the heavens accept you?”
The knife-scarred man was shocked. He did not notice that there was an extra person in the Monastery. One must know that he was an expert of the Bone Forging stage.
He saw a man with dark skin, wearing a black robe and a wicked smile on his face, walking in.
"Who are you to dare interfere with our business?" The knife-scarred man shouted coldly.
“Big brother, they’re so fierce, they’re so unreasonable …”
Seeing Long Chen enter, Xiao Cui seemed to have seen her family and cried out in grievance.
“Xiao Cui, don’t cry, actually this is just a dream, go to sleep, just sleep for a while, when you wake up, everything will be okay!”
As Long Chen spoke, Xiao Cui and his grandfather’s eyelids turned as heavy as gold, and they fell asleep.
Slowly turning around, Long Chen looked at the knife-scarred man. He didn’t say anything and just looked at him indifferently.
"You … What do you want? " For some reason, that knife-scarred man felt goosebumps all over his body.
"I’m thinking, with your size, how many pieces can I cut you into? “The best way is to use your blade from where.” Long Chen sized up the scarred man as he said indifferently.
"You … “You are courting death. Don’t think that you have some ability and want to oppose us. You must know that we are here for the Pill Tower’s Huo family.” The knife-scarred man spoke with a stern expression.
Just then, the people outside rushed into the yard as well. Forty or fifty people surrounded Long Chen.
“Friend, I advise you to leave quickly. Although you have hidden your cultivation level, you are but an ant in front of the Pill Tower’s Huo family!” The scarred man said coldly.
The Huo Family? Could it be that I, your father, am born to get into trouble with the Huo family? I haven’t even gone to look for them yet, and they’ve already come to me.
This matter was a little troublesome, so the most reasonable thing for Long Chen to do was to bring Xiao Cui and Xiao Kun away, and no one dared to make things difficult for him.
However, Long Chen was a bit troubled. These fellows were scum. If he didn’t kill them, he would feel that he had let down their looks.
However, it was too obvious that he was going against the Huo Family right after he arrived. Although these people were just a bunch of dogs, if they died, it would still alarm the master.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, an enormous figure soared through the sky. It was a giant eagle, a magical beast at the Xiantian level.
Long Chen didn’t pay any attention to the giant eagle. Looking at the people in front of him, Long Chen finally decided to eliminate them. It wasn’t Long Chen’s style to look to the front and back.
"Phew!"
Just as Long Chen was about to make his move, the giant eagle actually went back and jumped off its back.
There were both men and women who had come. They were dressed extravagantly and were all very young, but all of them were Xiantian realm experts. The person in the lead had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and wore a golden crown on his head. He looked very imposing.
"Ya, the dogs of the Huo family are biting people everywhere again?" The man glanced at the knife-scarred man and said in disdain.
"Fang… "Young Master …" The knife-scarred man turned pale and started sweating when he saw the man.
"Pa!"
That young master Fang slapped the knife-scarred man’s face and roared:
"F * ck me, why is my name so disgusting when it comes from your mouth?"
Long Chen’s eyes lit up. He did not expect this young master Fang to be an expert at slapping people. This slap was very beautiful and clean without the slightest bit of procrastination. It seemed that he was a genius of his generation, and he could not help but have a favorable impression of him.
The knife-scarred man did not actually have much strength after being slapped by Young Master Fang. Most of the humiliation was done in, but he did not dare to show any anger. After receiving the slap, he stood up straighter.
“Pa Pa Pa Pa … …” Long Chen’s applause rang out.
The young master Fang’s expression darkened as he coldly looked at Long Chen and said, “What do you mean?”
“Your esteemed self’s slap was smooth, graceful, and handsome. It is truly admirable.” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Yi, not bad, not bad. You can actually see it. Could it be that you are also proficient in this path?” That Young Master Fang’s eyes lit up.
“I can’t say I’m proficient, but I do know a bit.” Long Chen said humbly. Long Chen was quite friendly towards people who shared similar interests.
“Why don’t you come over as well? It’s the first time in so many years that Young Master Fang has met an ear cultivator!” Young Master Fang looked at Long Chen, a little excited.
An ear cultivator? F * ck, could it be a face-slapping cultivator? This Young Master Fang is a genius!
"So embarrassing."
Long Chen faintly smiled. In terms of the art of slapping, Long Chen was most proficient in that divine skill, and it even surpassed his alchemy and battle techniques.
"You …"
The knife-scarred man was startled and angry when he saw Long Chen also walk over. He hurriedly tried to block him when he saw Long Chen’s palm approaching.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Clap clap!"
But what shocked the scarred man the most was that even though he clearly blocked, he was still drawn. He blocked four times in a row and was continuously drawn four times.
The eyes of the young master Fang almost popped out. This was simply a godly skill! He saw clearly that whenever the knife-scarred man tried to resist, Long Chen’s hand would change to a strange arc, avoiding his defenses and slapping his face.
As soft as cotton, as swift as the wind, and with a strange angle, his movements were as shocking as the heavens and the earth. More importantly, his movements were precise and his rhythm was melodious, giving others an urge to dance with the rhythm.
"Divine technique, divine technique! This is simply a divine technique! Brother, you have to teach me!" Young Master Fang cried out in excitement. When had he ever seen such a slapping technique before?
Not only Young Master Fang, even the young men and women behind him were shocked. This slap was simply too cool.
“Haha, no problem. It’s rare for everyone to have such a great hobby and not dare to teach it. Let’s consider it a spar and exchange experience.” Long Chen chuckled.
“Bro, you really are my bro. Oh yeah, what’s your name?” It was rare to see Long Chen not hiding anything and he couldn’t help but have a good impression of him.
"I am Long San!"
“Haha, third brother Long, I’m older than you. You can just call me big brother Fang. In Danyang Prefecture, you only need to mention young master Fang. I can guarantee that no one will dare to bully you.”
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. This young master Fang had such a big mouth. Moreover, he actually dared to hit a Huo Family dog. Could it be … He’s from the Fang family of Pill Tower?
Long Chen suddenly thought of this and couldn’t help but pat his thigh in excitement. He had just dozed off and someone was already sending him pillows. Just as he was thinking of how he could sneak into Pill Tower, happiness came too suddenly.
Long Chen had already inquired about this. The three great clans of the Danyang Prefecture were the Hao, Fang, and Chai families. They were all part of the Pill Pagoda and were the most powerful clans.
“Alright, Brother Fang, since you’re so polite, then I’ll be making a fool of myself. First, the art of slapping is about speed like the wind, speed like lightning, toughness like a mountain, and softness like cotton. It comes like the waves of a vast ocean, unstoppable.” Long Chen flowed through his mouth, causing that young master Fang to feel intoxicated. He never thought that the art of slapping would actually have such a profound theory behind it.
“Brother Fang, watch carefully. I’ll demonstrate the ‘Dang’ Incantation for you.” After Long Chen finished speaking, he smiled sinisterly at the scarred man.
Chapter 655 - Imparting of Divine Arts

"Clap clap!"
"This is the Beginning Form, Heart of the Second. It is also called Double-click! "In order to control the severity of the situation, we have to control the severity of the situation."
"Pa, pa pa, pa, pa, pa …"
“Do you see that? That’s the rhythm. The fourth segment will be a beat, the eighth segment will be a beat, the sixteenth passage will be a complete sequence…”
As Long Chen spoke, his hands continued to move forward, and no matter how the scar-faced man tried to dodge, his rhythm remained the same.
The most important thing was that Long Chen’s attacks were very crisp and did not harm the scar-faced man’s body. The corners of his mouth did not split open, and it was clear that he had grasped the power to an extreme extent.
"Awesome, too cool, let me try!"
Young Master Fang was overjoyed. He had finally met a master teacher today. When Long Chen stopped, he immediately stepped forward and slapped the scar-faced man in the face.
However, after a single slap, the scar-faced man subconsciously dodged, but the second strike did not.
“Fuck, you still dare to dodge? If you do, I’ll kill you today!” Eldest Young Master Fang was infuriated. It wasn’t easy for him to meet a master teacher today, but this ignorant fellow actually refused to cooperate.
"Pow, pow. Brother Long, is it like this?" Young Master Fang casually slapped the scar-faced man twice, humbly asking Long Chen.
The scar faced man was fuming, why was he so unlucky today, he actually met this evil star, but when Young Master Fang attacked him, he did not even dare to dodge, he could only let Young Master Fang smoke, otherwise, if he displeased Young Master Fang, he would be squeezed to death.
"The first blow uses the shoulder to move the arm, but it is actually the strength of the shoulder. The second blow uses the wrist to move the palm, causing the arm to spin a little, and the speed cannot help but increase.
"Furthermore, your posture is graceful and your movements are clean, which makes the audience feel refreshed and relaxed. This is a high-end and elegant way of slapping others," Long Chen pointed out.
"Clap clap!"
“Hahaha, I’ve found it! I’ve found it! This is great!” Young Master Fang was indeed a genius of this generation. After Long Chen gave him a few pointers, he was able to grasp the gist of it.
Those who had originally come with Young Master Fang felt that this blow from Young Master Fang was indeed pleasing to the eyes and was extremely carefree.
Long Chen secretly probed these people. Their soul force was extremely powerful, and their spirit essence was filled with an intense flame aura. This was the fluctuation of Pill Flames, meaning that these people were all powerful alchemists.
Long Chen’s heart moved: This Young Master Fang seems to have an extremely high status, but the rare thing is that he doesn’t seem to have any airs of arrogance. He’s a pretty decent person.
What Long Chen didn’t know was that this young master Fang could be said to be the number one bully in Dan Yang State. The reason why he didn’t put on airs was because he had taken a fancy to Long Chen’s godly skill.
Seeing that everyone was eager to give it a try, Long Chen rolled his eyes and encouraged: “Everyone here is on the same side. If you want to give it a try, then go ahead. There are so many people here. There’s no need to be polite!”
“That’s right, that’s right, you guys try it too, it’s really fun!” Young Master Fang encouraged the others as well, and they finally let go of their pride and walked over.
“You, come over here and I’ll give you a twitch!”
"Ahh …"
The moment these people made a move, miserable screams could be heard incessantly. They were all pill refiners, and all of them respected their status. When had they ever done such a thing? The moment they did, they were unable to control their strength and directly shattered half of their faces.
One of them even directly slapped a person to death with a single move, causing that person’s face to turn red, and Young Master Fang to loudly laugh.
"Heh heh, this godly technique is not something that just anyone can learn, we are still … “Forget it!” One of them shook his head. He wasn’t going to make a fool of himself.
“Don’t, just treat it as accompanying me. Otherwise, I won’t be interested by myself!” After he finished speaking, he once again concentrated on ‘practicing’.
An hour later, everyone’s faces were as swollen as a pig’s head, almost swollen to the point of bursting open. Their heads were double the size of their normal heads.
The experts that came with Young Master Fang had looks of shame on their faces. No matter how careful they were, they were unable to control their powers.
They were alchemists, and it was their forte to gain control of their Pill Flames. However, having control of their fleshly bodies was not their strong point.
He had to admit that this young master Huo was extremely talented in slapping his face. After an hour, the scar-faced man’s face had only a hint of red and swollen, but he wasn’t injured. Even Long Chen couldn’t help but nod.
“Young Master Fang, if you argue with a bunch of small characters like that, I’m afraid you’re losing your identity, right?” Suddenly, a voice rang out in the air.
Long Chen raised his head and looked over. He saw an old man wearing a purple robe with an exquisite pagoda drawn on his chest. The wings on his back were fluttering as he indifferently looked at the crowd.
"What does this have to do with your Huo family? Are you qualified to talk to me? " Young Master Fang stopped what he was doing. After continuously ‘training’ for over an hour, he was a bit tired.
It was obvious that Young Master Fang recognized this Sea Cleaving Stage expert. However, from his tone, he seemed to be at odds with the Huo Family. This made Long Chen smile.
“You’re the Fang family’s young master and the future clan head. Of course, I don’t have the qualifications to teach you a lesson, but I’m afraid that your actions have taken a toll on your status.” The Sea Cleaving stage expert slowly descended to the ground and said in an indifferent tone.
Although he kept calling out ‘you’, there was no hint of respect in his tone. Instead, there was a faint ridicule.
“Are you f * cking bored? What’s wrong with laozi teaching a few bullying dogs a lesson?” “Do you have any objections?” Young Master Fang snorted coldly.
“This is Young Master Huo’s new residence and it’s about to start. They’re here to clean up the mess. Young Master Fang, isn’t it a bit too much for you to do this?” The old man said indifferently, his voice already carrying an overbearing tone.
Upon seeing this, Long Chen was overjoyed. It seemed that the conflict between the Fang family and the Huo family was not small, and they were all brazenly fighting each other. This was a good thing.
Long Chen suddenly interrupted, "You, young master Huo, want to build a grave? Since you have occupied someone’s house, you should compensate them. You should take their property and not even give them a single copper coin.
Today, your dogs are biting people everywhere and bullying unarmed civilians. In broad daylight, in broad daylight, your actions have completely disgraced Pill Tower. Do you know?
You dogs have insulted the sacred status of Pill Tower. Young Master Fang is upright, and he hates evil like hatred, which is why he acted so righteously and punished this evil.
He is the model hero, the embodiment of chivalry. He fought these dogs to maintain the glorious image of the Pill Tower. Let me ask you, where did you go? "
Long Chen’s words were just and righteous, and Young Master Fang couldn’t help but be elated. He had only acted because the Huo Family didn’t like him, and now that Long Chen had spoken of it, he had become a righteous messenger protecting the Pill Tower.
“Impudent! What qualifications do you have to interrupt when I speak?” The Sea Cleaving Realm expert couldn’t help but be enraged when he saw Long Chen speak frankly.
He didn’t dare anger the young master, but not just anyone could talk to him. It was obvious that he was full of anger towards Long Chen.
Fang Da rarely saw the old man facing Long Chen. Just as he was about to speak up to support Long Chen, Long Chen’s shoulder moved slightly.
"Pa!"
Long Chen gave the old man a big slap on the face. This time, the old man was sent flying.
"Boom!"
The small building of Xiao Cui’s house was directly smashed into smithereens, and wood shavings flew everywhere, everyone was dumbfounded.
"This …"
"Beautiful!"
While everyone else was in a state of shock, the young master Fang was the first to applaud. This slap was as untraceable as an antelope. It was simply godly.
“Bastard, you’re courting death!”
The old man who had been sent flying with a slap from Long Chen roared. He rushed toward Long Chen and struck him with his palm.
With this palm strike, the air trembled, and the terror of this attack was unparalleled, causing everyone present to be unable to breathe.
"Phew!"
Before Long Chen could decide whether or not to continue slapping him, young master Fang was already standing in front of Long Chen, blocking his path. He said to the old man:
"Old bastard, if you have the guts, then give it a try!"
After the old man was slapped by Long Chen, he couldn’t help but feel angry. What sort of status did he have? He was almost driven mad by the fact that he had been slapped in the face by a junior.
Therefore, he did not show any mercy with this palm and wanted to kill Long Chen on the spot. However, when he suddenly saw Young Master Fang blocking in front of him, he immediately became frightened and quickly withdrew his strength.
If something were to happen to Eldest Fang, even if he were to die a hundred times, he would still be unable to quell the Fang family’s anger.
Puff.
The old man at the Sea Cleaving Realm was both shocked and enraged. He also tried his best to retract his power, and as a result, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
“You’re actually so protective of him!” The old man at the Sea Cleaving Realm bellowed.
“Aren’t you talking nonsense? My brother, why am I not protecting you?” Eldest Young Master Fang had expected this outcome, so he said indifferently.
“Good, good, good!” After the elder said three ‘good’ in a row, the wings on his back flapped and he disappeared from everyone’s sight.
"What are you all still standing there for? Scram, all of you look like tadpoles, but you all look tired of looking at it. Are you all going back to your original forms? " Young Master Fang looked at the dazed "big-headed children" and said coldly.
Originally, they had not been able to leave, nor could they stay. However, upon hearing the words of Young Master Fang, they were instantly overjoyed. They hurriedly ran off, leaving behind only a flash of light.
“Long San, you are invincible. You must teach me well. I won’t treat you unfairly. Come, let’s find a place and I’ll set up a table for you!”
Eldest Young Master Fang was indescribably excited. When he saw Long Chen slap the face of that Sea Cleaving stage expert, he couldn’t help but feel admiration for Long Chen. This move was simply too cool.
Long Chen first woke up Xiao Cui and her grandfather, then took out a few hundred gold coins from his spatial ring and gave it to them.
Long Chen didn’t dare to give her too much, or else it would be fatal. Several hundred gold coins was enough for them to live carefree lives for many years. If they saved up a bit, it would be enough for a lifetime.
Xiao Cui felt endless gratitude for Long Chen. Under Long Chen’s persuasion, the two of them, one old and the other young, left the place.
After settling Xiao Cui’s matter, Long Chen, Young Master Fang, and the others hopped onto their flying magical beasts and flew straight to the pagoda region.
