Chapter 386: The Great Heroes
Long Chen’s feet moved, and before Huo Wu Fang’s body could land on the ground, Long Chen’s third slash brought with it a whistling wind as it chopped towards Huo Wu Fang’s head.
"Ashen Fire Shield!"
Huo Wu Fang suddenly shouted loudly. The flames in front of him congealed into a gigantic shield.
This meant that Huo Wu Fang had reached an extreme degree of control over the power of fire. When Long Chen’s Evil Slash struck the fire shield, it shattered it.
Long Chen and Huo Wu Fang were both blown away by the terrifying force. Long Chen couldn’t hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Huo Wu Fang was even more desperate than Long Chen. He spat out three mouthfuls of blood. The blades of fire created by the alchemists were connected to the mind. If the weapon exploded, it would damage the mind.
The continuous explosions of the fire blades not only caused great damage to Huo Wu Fang’s body, but also caused great shock to his mind.
Long Chen was knocked back more than a hundred feet. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and once again attacked Huo Wu Fang with Evil Decapitator. He looked like he would not rest until he had killed Huo Wu Fang.
Everyone who saw Long Chen’s bravery was filled with shock. Long Chen’s fighting style was very similar to that of magical beasts. His ferocity was peerless, leaving no room for retreat.
After being continuously pushed back by Long Chen and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, Huo Wu Fang’s anger soared to the skies. This was the first time he had encountered such a useless situation.
As a pill cultivator, as long as he didn’t meet a water attribute expert, no one in the same stage could withstand three of his moves.
The beast fire that he controlled was ranked seventeenth on the Beast Fire Ranking and was extremely powerful. Once it erupted with full force, ordinary Chosen level experts would be burnt to ashes before they could even get close to it.
Although Huo Wu Fang was arrogant, he possessed the capital to be arrogant. He had never met a person among his peers who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him when it came to controlling flames.
Long Chen had the pill flames protecting his body. Although the power of the Pill Fire between the two couldn’t compare, Long Chen only needed to use his own pill flames to withstand the power of his raging flames and then use his true strength to fight him.
This way, Huo Wu Fang’s advantage was gone. If it wasn’t for the fact that Long Chen was also a pill refiner, Long Chen would have no choice but to run when encountering an expert like Huo Wu Fang.
“Help me kill this brat. I, Huo Wu Fang, owe him a favor!” The fire blade in Huo Wu Fang’s hand appeared once again. After blocking Long Chen’s attack, he shouted towards the crowd.
Huo Wu Fang knew that he had underestimated Long Chen. Long Chen’s combat strength wasn’t any weaker than his, and he also had the protection of Pill Fire. It was impossible for him to take down Long Chen by himself.
Therefore, he had used his own promise to obtain the help of others. As for the Purple-Feathered Phoenix Sparrow in Long Chen’s hands, he was determined to obtain it.
If he could refine the flame from the Purple Feathered Phoenix, his power of fire would soar by another level. At that time, he would be invincible within the same level.
He was definitely unable to share such a treasure with others. That was why he had refused half of Long Chen’s suggestion of joining his family.
Even though half the energy in the inner core was enough to form a beast fire, there would still be a little flaw. Furthermore, one would naturally have to own all the good stuff.
"Huff, huff …"
What Long Chen didn’t expect was that with Huo Wu Fang’s shout, seven or eight experts immediately joined the battle and charged towards Long Chen.
What Long Chen didn’t know was that the disciples of the Pill Tower were of noble status. Whether it was the righteous or the evil, they didn’t want to offend them.
Now that Huo Wu Fang had asked for help, they all felt that the favor of the disciples of the Pill Tower was enormous.
What made Long Chen angrier was that the two Chosenwho had been fighting for the purple feather phoenix also joined the battle and attacked Long Chen.
Long Chen didn’t care about the others, but these two were peerless powerhouses with towering bloody auras and overwhelming auras. Although their combat prowess couldn’t compare to Huo Wu Fang’s, they were only slightly weaker.
With the two of them joining in, the pressure on Long Chen immediately increased. Evil Decapitator danced in his hands as he turned into thousands of golden lights to block everyone’s attacks.
As the two experts joined the fray, more and more people began to realize that Long Chen was definitely going to die. They decided to take this opportunity to sell Huo Wu Fang a favor. Thus, the three hundred Righteous and Evil experts began to charge toward Chu Feng.
"Thousand Wood Floating"
Suddenly, a delicate shout sounded out and the earth shattered. Countless wooden pillars drilled into the ground like angry dragons out of the sea, madly rushing towards the group of people.
"Puff puff puff …"
That was Chu Yao’s wood power. The pillars emitted a golden luster and were even tougher than steel. Many people that wanted to fish in troubled waters were caught off guard as they were pierced by the pillars and they kept on screaming.
"Soul into the netherworld!"
Chu Yao’s attack had just passed when a terrifying wave of soul power rushed into the crowd. Aside from a few Chosen level experts, most of the people were stunned, as if they had lost their souls, unable to move.
Meng Qi had made her move. With her immense soul force, it instantly covered the entire battlefield, causing them to be stunned for a moment.
In front of a Soul Cultivator, aside from a few experts with powerful soul power or a soul tool to protect themselves, almost no one else could resist the soul attack. Although Meng Qi’s crowd attack could only last half a breath of time, it was enough.
"Hu hu"
One wind and one fire, these two attacks rushed into the group of people. The terrifying energy exploded, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Those that were stuck in a daze didn’t even have the chance to scream before they were instantly exterminated.
The people in the distance who were a little slow or hesitating, wanting to join the battle, were instantly scared silly.
In that last attack, over 70 to 80 people had been killed in an instant. There were several supreme level powerhouses among them, and more than 20 powerful Favored experts that had been killed just like that.
Regardless of whether they were evil or righteous, everyone felt a chill down their spine, especially those who were slower to make a move.
The actions of Meng Qi and Chu Yao shocked everyone. When Meng Qi and Chu Yao were fighting over the Fierce Wind Beast, they hadn’t been this ruthless.
However, when they saw that Long Chen was in danger, they no longer had any scruples. They attacked with all their might and no longer held back their feelings.
This attack scared everyone. The experts who managed to survive were all forced to retreat, their faces as pale as paper. They no longer wanted to wade in this muddy water.
However, there were still seven people attacking the horde of dragons. Of the seven, two of them were evil, and the five who were righteous were all Chosen level experts.
A screen of light lit up around their bodies. It was as if they were transparent eggshells as they were completely surrounded. This was the result of the activation of the soul tool’s defense.
These seven all had soul tools protecting their bodies and were not afraid of soul power attacks for a short period of time. They believed that as long as they endured, they would be able to kill Long Chen.
After all, with Huo Wu Fang here, a peerless expert, and the help of two other Chosen, Long Chen wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
The actions of Meng Qi and the others, by killing those who got in their way, had actually helped them.
"Ice Soul Arrow Rain!"
"Ancient Wooden Dragon Soaring Technique!"
Meng Qi and Chu Yao attacked at the same time, the sky full of soul arrows rained down on the group of people. Meng Qi knew that the soul weapon was a recharging spirit weapon, the energy inside was limited, once it was exhausted, they couldn’t ignore her attack.
However, with so many people attacking at the same time, her attack power had dispersed and her energy consumption had slowed. She could only silently pray that Long Chen would persevere.
Following the activation of Chu Yao’s power of wood, countless pillars of wood flew out from the ground and attacked those Chosen level experts.
If it was an ordinary Chosen, it would be very difficult for them to destroy Chu Yao’s wooden pillar, but the people here were all experts among experts.
Her wooden pillar could only block their attacks and give them some resistance. However, Chu Yao was satisfied with this result because even if this went on, Long Chen could still last much longer.
And with the soul attacks of Meng Qi and Lu Fang’er, the light curtains on the bodies of those people were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. And with the soul attacks of Meng Qi and Lu Fang’er, the light screens on the bodies of those people were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Long Chen’s Evil Slash danced in the air, filled with sword Qi, and he fought against eight powerhouses. Even though he had the help of Meng Qi and Chu Yao, as well as the occasional attacks from Snowy and the Scarlet Fire Ferocious Lion, he was still forced back.
What was different from Yin Luo was that Yin Luo’s explosive strength was stronger and Huo Wu Fang’s endurance was stronger. After fighting for so long, his Pill Fire’s power had not decreased in the slightest. This was how frightening his pill cultivation was; he could rely on his Pill Fire to exhaust his opponent to death.
Everyone attacked together, but with Chu Yao’s wooden pillar, Meng Qi and Lu Fang’er’s soul attacks, plus the two magical beasts’ assistance, their attacks were bound. Even after half an incense stick of time, they still couldn’t do anything to Long Chen.
The transparent defensive barrier on their bodies became dimmer and dimmer. Once the soul power inside the soul tools was used up and the defensive barrier broke, they would have to use their soul force to withstand the attacks from Meng Qi and Zhou Weiqing.
"Go kill these annoying flies!" Huo Wu Fang said angrily. If this went on, it would be too disadvantageous for them.
"Phew!"
A person flew out. He was a Chosen cultivator of the righteous path. He was the first to rush to Meng Qi, the sword in his hand slashing down at Meng Qi.
"Boom!"
A wind blade shot toward the man. That man couldn’t even be bothered to kill Meng Qi; he could only block the wind blade.
A huge fireball flew towards him before he could do anything.
With Snowy and the Scarlet Flame Lion’s protection, the crowd that was attacking Meng Qi couldn’t get close, and they couldn’t help but yell out in anger.
“I’ll kill them!”
The other expert of the righteous path coldly snorted. He gave up on Long Chen and ran towards Meng Qi. As he ran, a powerful aura locked onto Meng Qi.
"Be careful!"
Long Chen warned as he blocked the attacks of the crowd.
Chu Yao stretched out her jade-like hand, not bothering about Long Chen’s side. She activated the power of the wood and weaved a giant net in front of Meng Qi, blocking that person’s path.
"Open!"
Chu Yao’s wooden net was cut open by that person’s sword and rushed towards Meng Qi. Meng Qi was locked onto by that person’s aura and couldn’t run away, so she couldn’t help but turn pale.
Chu Yao and Lu Fang’er didn’t have enough time to save him. Seeing Meng Qi about to die under that person’s sword, they couldn’t help but mourn:
"Big sister!"
"Die!"
Puff.
Blood splattered everywhere, floating into the air.
Chapter 387: Shock in One Slash
Mobile Read
Puff.
The sword pierced through his chest, causing blood to spurt into the air. However, the sword didn’t pass through Meng Qi’s body, but went through Long Chen’s body. Blood slowly flowed out from his right chest.
At the most critical moment, Long Chen used his saber to push back all of the enemies. He used the Netherworld Ghost Shadow Step to the limit and finally caught it. He used his own body to block his opponent’s sword.
The saber in Long Chen’s hand also stabbed straight into his opponent’s heart. The Chosen’s eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the expressionless Long Chen.
"Long Chen …"
Meng Qi, Chu Yao and Lu Fang’er cried out in grief at the same time. The long sword had pierced through Long Chen’s body, which was even more painful than the sword that had pierced through their bodies.
“Die?” “That’s right, you deserve to die!”
Puff.
The sword in Long Chen’s hand shook and a terrifying power exploded. The Chosen was instantly sliced into pieces by Long Chen’s long blade.
A Chosen had fallen just like that. The entire place was in complete silence. Even Huo Wu Fang and the others were stunned.
Long Chen was truly too ruthless. Actually, Long Chen had the power to block that person’s attack. However, he did not want to. He wanted to exchange wounds for life.
Although Long Chen had killed that Chosen, his internal organs had also been shattered by that terrifying power, and his life force was rapidly declining.
"Kill!"
After killing that Chosen with one slash, Long Chen suddenly raised Evil Decapitator’s hand high up. Golden light illuminated this world, and the world rumbled. The entire world’s murderous aura was sucked dry by Long Chen’s blade.
"Split the Heavens!"
Long Chen roared angrily as he slashed his blade through the sky. It was filled with a boundless killing intent, as well as a will that surged up to the Heavens.
A slash of the blade caused the world to tremble. Long Chen focused all of his power into the blade. This was Long Chen’s full will, and he was wholeheartedly attacking with all of his strength.
When Long Chen’s blade struck out, everyone’s expressions, including Huo Wu Fang’s, changed drastically. Long Chen’s blade contained an imposing aura of ‘if you don’t succeed, then you will die.’ There was no room for negotiation.
"Raging Flames Seal the Heavens!"
Huo Wu Fang’s heart was filled with fear. He quickly formed a seal with his hands, and at the same time, a red rune lit up between his brows. A boundless Pill Fire rapidly formed a shield in front of him.
Seeing this, the others also began to set up their strongest defenses. They had never felt such a terrifying pressure before, and did not dare to hold back in the slightest.
"Boom!"
The long blade broke through the sky and cut through the earth. After the blade stroke, a deep ditch dozens of miles long appeared on the ground. Boundless waves of earth buried the trees on both sides and covered a radius of a hundred miles.
Everyone had already disappeared, leaving behind a bottomless ditch, and Long Chen, who was frantically gasping for air while leaning on the ground with his sabre.
The spectators watched the battle with fear on their faces. They looked at the ravine and then looked at Long Chen who was gasping for air. None of them could say a word.
"Phew!"
The ground was torn apart as a figure drilled out from the soil. His body was covered in blood and his clothes were torn to shreds. He was in an extremely sorry state.
“It’s Huo Wufang! He’s still alive!”
"However, his aura has become extremely dispirited and he has received a serious injury."
The people discovered with horror that Huo Wu Fang, who had previously still been overflowing with strength, was on the verge of collapse. He was like a candle in the wind, on the verge of collapsing.
"Long Chen right? Just you wait. I, Huo Wu Fang, am not that easy to obtain!"
"Phew!"
Huo Wu Fang didn’t wait for Long Chen’s reply. He crushed a teleportation talisman and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Although Huo Wu Fang had survived, he had suffered serious injuries from Long Chen’s final strike and was no longer able to fight.
Although Long Chen was not much better than him, with someone as powerful as Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and Lu Fang’er by his side, if he stayed here, he would only die.
As soon as Huo Wu Fang left, the ground shook again, and a figure slowly crawled out from the ground. However, when that figure came out, everyone was startled.
He recognized that person, it was the evil Chosen. However, this powerful expert, who was in high spirits, was now at his last breath. Besides his head, half of his body had disappeared.
However, that person’s vitality was extremely tenacious. After he climbed out of the ground, he looked at Long Chen and wanted to say something. In the end, his mouth opened and he just laid there, motionless.
"Anyone else who wants to make a move, please come over!" Long Chen coldly looked at the spectators as he sneered.
He was covered in blood, his chest pierced with a long sword, his entire being was a bit dispirited, but that monstrous willpower did not diminish in the slightest.
The massive chasm in front of them made Long Chen look like a demon that had descended into this world. He looked down in every direction, making people not dare to look him in the eye.
Hearing Long Chen’s cold shout, the experts standing far away, regardless of whether they were in the right or in the wrong, all retreated, leaving this shocking battlefield.
This was a world-shocking battle with an imposing manner that overflowed into the heavens, letting everyone know the grandeur of a peerless expert.
This was especially true for those who were known as Chosen. This was a huge blow to them all. Even though they were both known as Chosen, the disparity was too great.
His shout shook the mountains and rivers, making all the heroes hold their hands behind their backs. The strong enemies were afraid, and a gentle breeze gently blew the Long Chen’s clothes, making it seem like an invincible war god.
Seeing that the surrounding strong enemies had all retreated, Long Chen immediately felt extremely tired, as if he had lost all of his strength and was about to fall.
Suddenly, a pair of jade-like hands gently dragged Long Chen’s body. Meng Qi was holding Long Chen, and fragrant tears could not help but flow down her face.
"Long Chen …"
Chu Yao and Lu Fang’er also rushed over, supporting Long Chen as they slowly sat down. They also couldn’t help but let their tears fall.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a small injury.” Long Chen couldn’t help but comfort her, but sweat kept dripping down his face.
“Stop talking, I’ll help you heal!”
Chu Yao’s tears fell as she placed her hand on Long Chen’s shoulder. A dense amount of life energy was poured into Long Chen’s body.
"You … "Can you do it?" Long Chen said with some doubt. His internal organs were all shattered. Now that he relied on the support of spirit energy, he would definitely die if he ran out of spirit energy.
However, there was still a drop in Long Chen’s hand. The Life Deity’s Elixir that a Spiritual Realm expert had given him could recover even if it was a terrifying injury.
It was because of this trump card that Long Chen dared to exchange injuries with that person. Otherwise, how could Long Chen possibly do such a thing?
"You … You didn’t even know that I could cure you, yet you still dare to … “You’re so desperate, you’re really pissing me off!” As Chu Yao spoke, tears once again flowed down her cheeks.
“Isn’t this looking down on him? Alright, Yao’er, I promise that I won’t be so stupid next time …” Seeing Chu Yao crying like a teary rain, Long Chen quickly apologized.
“You’re not allowed to speak anymore. I’m going to use my source energy to help shape your internal organs. However, you’ll be weak for a period of time, so you can’t fight for now!”
Chu Yao took a deep breath and a faint green pattern appeared on her hand. Following the appearance of that pattern, Chu Yao’s face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Long Chen felt his heart ache. One must know that the source energy was the foundation of one’s cultivation. If Chu Yao used her source energy to heal Long Chen’s wounds, it would harm her foundation and possibly affect her future cultivation talent.
But Long Chen knew that he couldn’t refuse at this time, otherwise he would deeply hurt Chu Yao. He could only close his eyes and silently feel the strong life force circulating in his body.
Unlike before when he had to repair the flesh on his arm, this time Meng Qi’s spiritual energy was not from the gas but from the liquid.
This was Chu Yao’s source spirit liquid, the condensed essence of life. After the spirit liquid entered Long Chen’s body, Long Chen’s broken organs slowly grew back.
As for the broken pieces, they had actually been melted by the spirit liquid and turned into nourishment to nourish the newly born organs.
The organs that had just been born were like transparent water bags, and one could see fine blood vessels constantly growing.
"Phew!"
After two hours, Chu Yao gently breathed out, her face was pale white, her face filled with fatigue.
“Sorry to trouble you.” Long Chen held Chu Yao’s hand and said apologetically.
Chu Yao’s jade-like hand brushed past Long Chen’s face and a smile appeared on her pale face. It was like a tender peach blossom, causing people to feel endless pity for her.
"Long Chen, thank you." Meng Qi looked at the exhausted Long Chen after her injuries, and said with some heartache.
“If you want to say thank you, it would be me, or us. But next time, don’t be like this, okay?” “Only by living will there be hope.” Long Chen pulled Meng Qi’s hand and said very seriously.
Long Chen knew that Meng Qi had a teleportation talisman in her hand, but in the face of danger, she didn’t use it. In the beginning, she was angry, but that was foolish.
But later on, Long Chen realized that she had a teleportation talisman, Chu Yao had a teleportation talisman, whereas Long Chen and Lu Fang’er didn’t.
She and Chu Yao didn’t want to leave Long Chen and Lu Fang’er behind, so they would rather die than use that teleportation talisman. This made Long Chen angry and touched.
Seeing that Long Chen had seen through her thoughts, a hint of shame appeared on Meng Qi’s beautiful face. She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s leave this place!” Lu Fang’er broke the awkward atmosphere and supported the exhausted Chu Yao.
Meng Qi held onto Long Chen as the four of them climbed onto the backs of Snowy and the Scarlet Wild Lion, running towards the outskirts of the Dark Forest.
Currently, there was no longer any place for them to linger in the core region of the Dark Forest. The outer perimeter was a little less populated, but also a little safer.
Long Chen was heavily injured, and Chu Yao had used up a large amount of her source energy, so she needed to find a place to rest.
A few days later, Long Chen and the others found a secluded pool. There weren’t any ferocious beasts nearby, and they also found a clean cave. The four of them arranged the cave and started their closed door cultivation.
Long Chen’s injuries healed very quickly. Chu Yao used her source energy to reconstruct his inner organs while Long Chen had a strong physique so he was not too injured.
On the other hand, it was very troublesome for Chu Yao to injure her source energy, but Chu Yao told Long Chen not to worry. As long as she recovered a little, she could absorb the wood energy from the Seven Hearts Begonia Wood Heart and replenish her source energy.
Not only did she have a strong life force, she also had a strong source of wood. This was enough for Chu Yao to slowly understand the profound mysteries of wood, which had a profound impact on her.
Long Chen and Chu Yao were fine, Meng Qi and Lu Fang’er could finally relax a bit. They took out the huge egg and started using secret techniques to speed up the growth of the little guy inside the egg and get it out as soon as possible.
A few days later, Long Chen’s body had completely recovered. Seeing that Chu Yao was already focused on refining the power of the wood heart, with Meng Qi and Lu Fang’er guarding him, he said goodbye to the two and walked out of the cave.
Chapter 388: Phoenix Sparrow Purple Flame
Mobile Read
Long Chen found a secluded place a hundred miles away from Meng Qi and the others. He took out the large corpse of the Purple-Feathered Phoenix.
Although he was already a corpse, that enormous body and the aura he emanated still caused one’s heart to feel as though an enormous boulder was crushing down onto one’s heart.
Bang.
Evil Decapitator cut down on his skull heavily. Long Chen discovered dejectedly that the purple-feathered phoenix’s skull was too hard, it would take too much effort for Evil Decapitator to break through it.
It wasn’t until they finally found the wound where the golden page had been cut that Long Chen’s expression changed slightly. He couldn’t sense the golden page at all.
However, looking through the crack, he saw the reflection of the golden page, which made Long Chen’s heart calm down.
“This golden page is quite strange. After leaving for so many days, it has actually become so unfamiliar that there’s no reaction!”
Long Chen gently spread out his soul force to wrap around the golden page. Long Chen discovered that the golden page that he could move his mind along with seemed to have become unfamiliar to his soul.
It was only when Long Chen’s soul communicated with it that it began to accept Long Chen’s soul as the driving force, slowly rotating out from within the skull.
"Phew!"
After getting the golden page, Long Chen couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. If he really lost this golden page, Long Chen would really cry to death.
Although he didn’t know what was written on the golden page, just the fact that the golden page’s attribute was so strong that it could slice through metal like mud was an absolute treasure.
If not for Yin Luo’s quick reaction, he would have been killed instantly by the golden page. However, the only flaw of the golden page was that it required a massive amount of soul power to activate.
In a fierce battle, there was no way to distract oneself. In a battle between experts, there was a myriad of changes. If one was not careful, one would be defeated and die. There was no room for distractions.
Therefore, when Long Chen fought with Yin Luo, he didn’t get the chance to use the golden page to escape.
Furthermore, an expert of Yin Luo’s level would definitely not suffer a second loss in one move. Therefore, if Long Chen didn’t have absolute confidence, he definitely wouldn’t use the golden page again.
The first reason was because the other party was prepared and would be hard-pressed to succeed. If he failed twice in a row, the third time would be when the other party thought of a method to deal with the golden page.
The second was that Long Chen had yet to fully grasp the capabilities of the golden page. If he failed to steal the chicken and it was taken away by the other party, he would be done for.
"Chi!"
The golden page rotated and cut open the sparrow’s abdomen. This time, Long Chen didn’t dare to let the golden page pierce deep into its flesh. He directly drilled into the sparrow’s abdomen and took out an object about a foot in size and with a jade-like luster.
It was a huge inner core. Although it was a little dim, there was still a terrifying pressure emitting from it, causing the space to constantly distort.
"What a strong power of fire!"
When Long Chen felt the terrifying energy in the inner core, he couldn’t help but become ecstatic.
Truly worthy of being the third ranked beast fire. Even after exhausting all the energy in his body, the source energy in his dantian was still frighteningly strong.
Long Chen’s heart raced wildly. This was the third ranked existence in the beast fire, a treasure that countless pill refiners would go crazy for.
This was also the reason why Huo Wu Fang’s beast fire was still fighting for the inner core even though it was already so strong.
The higher one’s ranking was, the more obvious one’s level would be, and the power would be greatly reduced. It could be said that Long Chen currently needed this Beast Core the most.
As long as he could refine the internal core of the Purple Winged Phoenix Sparrow, Long Chen would have the Purple Phoenix Sparrow Flames and could immediately refine the Jade Height Pill to open up the Jade Height Star.
Furthermore, Long Chen had now advanced to the third level of Tendon Transformation and had consumed all the Three Flowers Muscle Pill. If he wanted to advance quickly, he would need to consume medicine incessantly. The medicine really could not stop.
After Long Chen discovered that his cultivation path was different from others, pills had become the foundation of his cultivation.
Furthermore, he discovered that his body had only absorbed a hundred percent of the medicinal strength, without the slightest bit of waste or rejection.
Apart from some special pills, a man could only consume three at most, and the fourth pill was basically useless.
This was also the theory behind pill ‘pills are only three’. If one consumed the first pill, the medicinal effect would be a hundred percent, the second effect would be halved, and the third time would be halved. The fourth time would basically be ineffective.
A special pill like the Muscle Meridian Rejuvenation Pill could be consumed a lot of times, but only ten pills could be consumed by a person at most. Just the concentration of the muscles and veins would reach their limit.
But Long Chen discovered that the meridians in his body were like bottomless pits, crazily absorbing the medicinal power and never filling them up again.
Moreover, as his cultivation increased, the demand for medicinal pills became greater and greater. Currently, he had consumed all of his Three Flowers Muscle Meridian Pill.
With this, Long Chen didn’t have time to cultivate nor refine pills, and he would soon run out of food.
Furthermore, using the original Pill Fire to refine the Muscle Meridian Rejuvenation Pill was simply too time-consuming. Using this precious time to refine pills within the Nine Li Secret Realm was simply a waste of a natural resource.
But now, Long Chen felt a great sense of crisis. Peerless experts like Han Tianyu, Yin Luo, and Huo Wu Fang had all reached the peak of the Tendon Transformation stage.
They could break through to the Bone Forging stage at any time. Long Chen believed that they had long since made their preparations. Once they broke through to the Bone Forging stage, they would immediately consume countless resources and refine their bones.
Long Chen still had the strength to challenge them, but once they advanced to Bone Forging, would Long Chen still be able to survive?
Fortunately, the purple feathered phoenix’s core had been obtained, and all the problems would be easily solved. Once they had established Jade Charging Star, even if they advanced to the Bone Forging stage, Long Chen would at least have the ability to protect himself.
Long Chen stored the corpse of the Violet Feathered Phoenix into his spatial ring and took out the corpse of the Fierce Wind Beast. Using the golden page to break open the hard scales, he took out the inner core.
It had to be said, even if the golden page was useless, just the cutting of the blade itself was enough to excite.
The inner core of the Wind Barbarian Beast was about the same size as that of the Purple Feathered Phoenix, so Long Chen summoned Snowy.
"Little Snow, first, swallow this inner core. Then, slowly refine it. Remember, refine it slowly. Otherwise, you will be crushed!" Long Chen solemnly warned.
Although Snowy was extremely intelligent, sometimes she was just like a little kid. She had a bit of a short temper, so it was better for her to take care of some matters in advance.
"Awoo!"
Snowy let out a low growl and swallowed the pellet in one gulp before returning to Long Chen’s soul space.
For a wind attributed magical beast like Snowy, devouring the core of a beast of the same attribute would give her a natural advantage. As long as she wasn’t anxious, she wouldn’t be in any danger.
However, the Wind Barbarian Beast was a Class 5 Magical Beast and Little Snow had only just stepped into Class 4. It would take a long time for her to refine this inner core.
Fortunately, Long Chen was not anxious. He needed Snowy to slowly refine it as safety came first. As for himself, he would also need to spend some time to sharpen his blade.
After settling Little Snow down, Long Chen sat quietly for two hours. After adjusting his mental strength to its peak state, he used the golden page to dig a hole in a mountain. After entering the hole, he directly collapsed the cave and buried himself inside.
Looking at the inner core in his hand, Long Chen took a deep breath and covered it with his hand. The power of the pill fire in his body flowed through his palm and into the inner core.
"Boom!"
When Long Chen’s Pill Fire entered the inner core, it was like a ignited explosive as a ferocious surge of flames was instantly ignited.
The purple flames instantly devoured Long Chen’s Pill Fire, and that was not all. The purple flames were like a furious purple phoenix, fiercely attacking Long Chen.
The terrifying purple flames were like a flood that had opened its floodgates. They surged towards Long Chen’s body. Its goal was to completely devour the Pill Fire that provoked it.
Long Chen felt as if his meridians had lava flowing through them. The pain penetrated his heart. However, Long Chen gritted his teeth and endured, allowing the purple flames to crazily chase after his Pill Fire.
When all the energy in the inner core had entered his body, Long Chen’s hand slowly left the inner core. He used his meridians as a cage and locked the beast fire.
However, this was different from the usual method of subdue the beast fire. Long Chen had already felt that if he forcefully subjugated the beast fire, it would cause the beast fire to instantly become furious and Long Chen’s meridians would instantly burst.
With Long Chen’s current strength, logically speaking, he should have collected Class 4 Magical Beast fire. Rank 5 Magical Beast fire wasn’t something he could dream about with his current strength.
Since Huo Wu Fang dared to absorb the beast fire, he must have his own secret technique. He definitely wouldn’t tame it like Long Chen had done.
Although Long Chen didn’t have a secret technique, Long Chen’s attacks were numerous. To him, a beast fire that had no intelligence and could only act on instinct was not a problem.
Using its body as a cage, he used the Pill Fire to slowly lure it. It continuously devoured the pill fire, allowing the beast fire to chase after the pill fire without stopping.
When the beast fire began to become violent, he let it devour a portion of the pill fire, letting it calm down, and then continued to use the pill fire to lure it throughout its meridians.
On one hand, he had to adapt his meridians and meridians to its strength. On the other hand, he had to allow it to slowly adapt to the new environment.
Thus, a game of cat and mouse unfolded inside Long Chen’s body. The purple beast fire chased after Long Chen’s Pill Fire. Anyway, as long as Long Chen’s spirit energy didn’t run out, the Pill Fire couldn’t be used up.
After eating too much of Long Chen’s Pill Fire, the tyrannical aura within the purple flames also began to gradually fade. This was the effect that Long Chen wanted.
There was no other way. Although doing so would waste precious time, it would at least be safe, comfortable and painless. Who told Long Chen to not have such strength?
Three days later, after the purple flames had eaten up an unknown amount of Pill Fire, their temperament was no longer as irritable, and they began to gradually adapt to the new environment.
Ten days later, the purple flames seemed to be tired of playing this sort of game. At the beginning, it was too lazy to chase after the Pill Fire, unless the Pill Fire took the initiative to provoke it, it would devour it.
Half a month later, the purple flames started to ignore Long Chen’s Pill Fire and treat Long Chen’s body as their new home.
"Hehe, welcome to your new home!"
Long Chen chuckled. Seeing that the time was right, he suddenly released his soul force and suppressed the beast fire. This was the final step in taming the beast fire.
Chapter 389
"Boom!"
The mountain where Long Chen was hiding at exploded as a terrifying energy rose up, shaking the sky and causing the color of the sky to change.
"Phew!"
The mountain burst apart as purple flames instantly filled the air. The raging flames lit up the void, enveloping a radius of several miles.
Some of the trees on the mountain were instantly burnt to ashes. The intense heat roasted the earth, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, the earth began to dry up and crack, rapidly spreading in all directions.
"Hahahaha, I finally succeeded!"
Long Chen raised his head to the sky and gave a long howl. Purple flames surrounded his body, as if they were the gods of fire, brimming with a domineering spirit.
"Huhuhu"
Three figures quickly ran over. It was Meng Qi, Chu Yao and Lu Fang’er. They felt a terrifying pressure the first moment they came over to check it out.
They discovered that Long Chen’s entire body was wrapped in purple flames. The billowing heatwave attacked them, giving off a terrifying pressure that caused their hearts to tremble.
“Great! Long Chen, you’ve really succeeded!”
Chu Yao cheered. One had to know that only Invigorated Meridian Realm experts could refine a Class 5 Magical Beast’s beast fire. Even an exceptional genius would need to reach the Bone Forging stage.
And Long Chen was only at the Tendon Transformation stage, not to mention he was only at the early Tendon Transformation stage. This was simply too astonishing. The previous worries had been completely swept away.
"Ahh …"
Suddenly, the three of them cried out at the same time and hurriedly turned their faces away. Their jade-like hands covered their faces and didn’t dare to look at Long Chen again.
“Long Chen, hurry and put on your clothes. It’s so embarrassing!” Meng Qi scolded.
Long Chen was laughing out loud in excitement. He also noticed the arrival of the three people and was about to say something when he suddenly saw their odd movements. Hearing Meng Qi’s reminder, he couldn’t help but look at his body.
Even though Long Chen’s skin was thicker than the city walls, he still wished he could find a hole to hide in. This was because he had just tamed the beast fire, so the beast fire would explode once again.
Long Chen was so happy that he actually forgot about the frightening high temperature and burned his clothes to ashes. Right now, he was standing there completely naked.
Recalling the previous arrogant laughter, Long Chen felt a burning sensation on his face. He quickly withdrew the flames and put on his clothes.
Even after dressing up, Long Chen still felt a bit embarrassed. Long Chen wasn’t a shy person, but this was too embarrassing.
“Cough, cough, you’ve come!” Long Chen laughed. He really didn’t know what to say.
"Yes!"
The three girls softly acknowledged, but they still didn’t dare to turn their heads to look at Long Chen. Their heartbeats were so loud that even Long Chen could hear them.
"Cough cough …" "That, is your bird hatching yet?" Long Chen had no choice but to change the topic.
Hearing this topic, the three women immediately became excited. Although there was still a rosy glow on their faces, their eyes could not conceal the excitement in their eyes.
huu huu huu huu *
The three girls extended their jade-like hands. A wave of soul fluctuations rippled out and four figures appeared in front of Long Chen. They weren’t small and were at least three meters tall.
Long Chen looked at the four figures and could not help but feel disappointed. "Is this really a Purple Winged Phoenix Bird? "Why does it look so much like a blackbird?"
The four figures were very large, but on their bodies, they looked like a flock of chickens. Their fur hadn’t fully grown yet and they had purple skin all over their bodies. They looked like small chickens that had just come out of their shells; they were extremely ugly.
“Aiya, Long Chen, you’re not allowed to speak nonsense. They’ve only been born not long ago, so when their feathers grow out, they’ll be full of power!” Lu Fang’er protested, reaching out her hand to caress a juvenile Purple Winged Phoenix.
“That’s right, that’s right. They’re still young. But even if they’re small, don’t you think that they’re cute and cute?” Chu Yao said with some dissatisfaction.
As soon as the four hatchlings were summoned, they took the bald head and rubbed it against the three girls, trying their best to curry favor with them.
“It can’t be that they want to drink milk?” Long Chen looked at the few guys rubbing their chests, and couldn’t help but ask with some curiosity.
“Long Chen, you’re so bad! Lil Violet is biting him!” The three people couldn’t help but blush. Lu Fang’er even ordered them to attack.
A fellow who was trying to please Lu Fang’er, upon hearing Lu Fang’er’s order, opened his mouth wide and bit towards Long Chen.
However, its movements were extremely clumsy and it even swayed when walking. Long Chen laughed and avoided it.
When that fellow saw Long Chen evade, he couldn’t help but be enraged. He opened his mouth and spat out a wave of heat.
This gave Long Chen quite a scare. However, when he saw that the baby Purple Winged Phoenix was only spitting out a mouthful of hot air, there was no flame. It was obvious that it didn’t have the ability to do so.
“Haha, you’re quite vicious.” Long Chen laughed.
"Bad Long Chen, are you scolding us around the corner?" Meng Qi chided.
“Son, don’t bicker with a woman. This is a truth that hasn’t been seen in a long time.” Long Chen smiled as he asked the three of them about their recent situation.
Chu Yao’s source energy had already been replenished and she had also absorbed a lot of the wood heart’s source energy, causing her entire face to be radiant.
Chu Yao excitedly told Long Chen that the source energy of the wood heart was unimaginably large and that Chu Yao’s wood energy had started to mutate, becoming even stronger.
Chu Yao said that the amount of energy she had refined hadn’t even reached one point of the wood heart. Once she had completely refined the wood heart, her strength would rise to an extremely terrifying level.
This caused Long Chen to be excited, Chu Yao’s battle strength was in defense, if Chu Yao’s wood energy could be mutated again, then her strength would increase, then Chu Yao’s defense would be like an iron wall.
Especially in a group battle, with Chu Yao around, it would be a strong shield that protected the entire team’s life.
Able to attack, defend, and heal. Wood elementalists were the most popular people in a group battle.
Meng Qi and Lu Fang’er were also very excited. Although the Purple Winged Phoenix was still in its infancy, they were beast tamers. They had a secret technique that allowed them to grow up quickly.
As long as he brought them with him to hunt and mixed them with unique medicinal pills, they would be able to grow rapidly in just a few months.
The four of them chatted for a while. Long Chen said that he wanted to go back into seclusion and let the three of them move around freely. After all, if they wanted to let the Purple Winged Phoenix Sparrow grow, they also needed to go hunting.
With the three of them together, there was a Class 4 Magical Beast guarding the place, as well as a powerful wood cultivator like Chu Yao. As long as they didn’t meet an expert of Yin Luo’s level, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Chu Yao had a wood heart, so as long as she refined it, her strength would continue to grow. Meng Qi and Lu Fang’er’s primary task was to find a suitable pet and let the Purple Winged Phoenix Sparrow grow.
As for Long Chen, he needed to concoct pills and open up Jade Charm Star. If everyone was together, it would only be a waste of time, so it would be better to split up. Although the Nine Li Secret Realm was filled with dangers, there were countless lucky chances.
Originally, the three of them had the same intention, but they were too embarrassed to speak to Long Chen. Seeing Long Chen act so righteously, the three girls were extremely excited.
Before they left, the three of them gave Long Chen a gaze that could make Long Chen’s bones go soft, and just like that, they began their journey of exploration.
After the three of them left, Long Chen didn’t want to waste any time. He ran to the cave where everyone had gathered and retrieved the Cauldron.
"Phew!"
A purple flame appeared in Long Chen’s hand. With a flick of his mind, the flame jumped from his thumb to his pinky and from his pinky to his thumb. It worked perfectly.
It was not in vain did Long Chen spend a large amount of time to nurture it. He sacrificed an entire half month of precious time to minimize its repulsive force and then subdued it.
However, sharpening the blade did not waste time, as time was used up. After refining it into a Pill Fire, there was no need to spend so much time nurturing it, and communication was easy.
He gently placed the fire underneath the pill furnace and controlled the flame to its weakest state. The furnace didn’t need high temperatures; otherwise, not only would it affect the life of the pill furnace, it would also increase the danger of the furnace exploding.
Ever since the explosion of the furnace when he refined the giant pellet for Snowy, before Long Chen entered the secret realm, he had specifically exchanged ten pill furnaces at the side Monastery.
There was no helping it, the Monastery didn’t have any alchemist nor any good pill furnaces. The pill furnaces exchanged by Long Chen were also the antiques that had been stored in the Monastery for who knows how many years.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Long Chen wrapped up all the pill furnaces in one go. This way, if a few were to explode, there would still be pill furnaces available.
"Phew!"
Pouring the Qilin fruit into the pill furnace, Long Chen slightly increased the firepower. The Qilin fruit immediately melted and started to slowly scatter, turning into fine powder.
If one were to magnify the powder, they would see that each bead was actually locking onto the medicinal essence within.
As for Long Chen’s alchemy fire from before, it was unable to condense into small particles. That way, a large portion of his medicinal essence would be lost. Thus, no matter how powerful the alchemy technique was, it still required a formidable alchemy fire.
“This is too great! This speed is simply too frightening!” Long Chen couldn’t help but be excited.
Refining the essence of a Qilin fruit would only take a few breaths of time. The difference between what he had expected and what he would need was an hour.
For the first time, Long Chen felt like a beggar turning over his head and becoming the emperor. Compared to the purple flames of the phoenix sparrow, the Blue Flames of the previous fire lizard was simply garbage.
Unfortunately, the memories of the Pill Emperor were incomplete in his mind. He only had the pill refining formulas, the experience of identifying a few medicinal herbs, and a huge amount of refining techniques.
The only thing missing was the lack of a special combat ability. This caused Long Chen to cry out ‘what a pity!’. When he had fought against Huo Wu Fang, Long Chen had felt the power of his pill cultivation.
He knew that Huo Wu Fang’s power didn’t just come from his beast fire and cultivation, it also came mainly from his unique fire controlling techniques.
The fire controlling techniques that Long Chen remembered were all used for alchemy, but he didn’t have any skills for combat. It seemed that he would need to obtain some combat skills in the future.
After the refined Qilin fruit essence was completed, Long Chen calmed his spirit and focused all of his attention. He began to pour the medicinal powder into the pill furnace in batches.
While adding the powder, he would adjust the temperature of the Pill Fire from time to time. Although he had the memories of the Pill Emperor, even the deities wouldn’t be able to guarantee that they wouldn’t make a mistake while concocting pills.
A small mistake could very well cause the pill refining to fail. There were only a few Qilin fruits, so he didn’t dare to waste even a single one. Therefore, he had to be even more careful.
An hour later, all the medicinal powders had been thrown out and the furnace had finally been sealed.
By increasing the temperature of the flame, he would be able to lock even more of the essence of the pill into his grasp.
"Boom!"
Two hours later, the pill furnace released a muffled sound. Before the lid had even been lifted, the fragrance of a pill had already permeated through the air.
"Heh heh, I succeeded!"
Long Chen chuckled as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and reached out to grab the lid.
Chapter 390 - The Might of Yuheng

As the lid was lifted, a dense pill fragrance, accompanied by a glow, filled the entire cave. Looking at the nine Longan like pellets in the furnace, Long Chen couldn’t help but shout out in excitement.
"Three Yuan High Quality Pill!"
Those nine pellets were full, glistening like jade. Three halos of light slowly revolved around them, as if they were living creatures. Please search for the most complete one! Fastest novel updates
This was the sign that a high-grade pill had reached its peak. The medicinal properties combined with the spiritual energy to form a protective layer around the pill.
Not only did he lock onto the essence of the pill, as the radiance flowed through it, the pill seemed to be alive, absorbing the energy of the external world to nourish the pill.
However, this nourishment was very slow, and Long Chen didn’t care about it at all. What he cared about was that he actually managed to concoct three high-grade pills.
Usually, only those who had advanced to become a Pill King would be able to do so. However, refining pills was different from cultivation. The relationship between one’s pill refining ability and cultivation level was not necessarily directly proportional.
There were two standards for a Pill King. One was the ability to refine a tier 4 pill, and the other was a pill concocted with at least a brilliant pattern. Only when both criteria were met would one be called a Pill King.
In order to become a Pill King, one needed immense talent, vigorous spiritual energy, and a prolonged period of soulforce, as well as a pill fire that matched his strength.
With these basic conditions, they still had to rely on their control over the pill refining techniques. Otherwise, no matter how good their foundation was or how high their cultivation base was, even if they were Innate realm experts, they would not be able to meet those two requirements, nor would they be able to obtain the title of Pill King.
There were two titles of Pill King, one was for the regular army with qualifications, and the other was for barefooted pill refiners who practiced medicine without any qualifications.
This was because there was only one Pill Valley in this world that held authority. As the sacred land of alchemy, ordinary alchemists did not even have the qualifications to inquire about it.
Therefore, Pill Pagoda became the sanctuary in the eyes of the cultivators. If they wanted to obtain the qualifications to become a Pill King, they could go there and take the examination.
With a strong apothecary supervising him, there were two choices that he could make once he passed the examination. The first was to join the Pill Tower, to become a member of it, and to enjoy the generous treatment of being its disciple.
In order to prove your identity, you could also receive a portion of the benefits from the Pill Tower every year. However, this benefit is incomparable to the benefits of the members who joined the Pill Tower. .
Those benefits were just to tempt the cultivators to join the Pill Tower, because through those benefits, one could prove to the cultivators how powerful they were.
Alchemy, elixirs, beast fires, top-grade pill furnaces and other treasures were all fatal temptations to alchemists. Not many could resist them.
According to the pill formula, Long Chen’s Yuheng Pellet would be ranked as a tier 3 pellet. However, the difficulty of this pellet, especially the change in the temperature of the flame during the process, was definitely one of the difficulties in refining a tier 4 pellet.
In other words, with the phoenix purple flame, Long Chen was already an upright Pill King. In other words, he met the criteria on the nameplate Yun Qi had given him.
At this moment, Long Chen had the qualifications to bring this token to the Pill Valley to register and learn.
However, Long Chen had the Pill Emperor’s memories. His alchemy skills were complete, so he didn’t care about the alchemy skills of others. What he cared about was the resources in the Pill Valley.
However, entering the Pill Valley required one to make a trip to the Pill Tower. However, they had already become enemies for the sake of the Beast Fire Long Chen and Huo Wu Fang. It wouldn’t be so easy to enter the Pill Valley.
However, Long Chen didn’t think too much about it at the moment. He carefully took out a jade bottle and stored the jade pellets away.
Long Chen was filled with excitement as he looked at the Jade hinge dan beads that seemed to carry life. He even felt reluctant to eat them.
He left behind a Jade Height Pill in his hand and took a deep breath in the end. He slowly swallowed the pill and placed it in his stomach before instantly dissolving it.
This was the wondrous use of beautiful patterns. As long as one swallowed it, all the energy in the pill would instantly be released. It would take a long time for it to take effect, unlike other pills.
"Boom!"
As the pill melted, the rich medicinal power melted in an instant. In Long Chen’s body, it was like a huge ocean, surging and surging violently.
Although this power was massive, it was not berserk. On the contrary, it was very gentle. Long Chen slowly circulated the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique to place the pressure on his right palm.
"Buzz!"
After the medicinal energy entered Long Chen’s right palm, he didn’t need Long Chen to do anything. His palm trembled as if it had condensed into a star from the Feng Residence.
In the center of his palm, the medicinal strength started to gather as it rapidly circulated to form a whirlpool. At the core of the whirlpool, a tiny particle was gradually growing larger.
"Yes!"
Long Chen didn’t need to move at all. The entire process was executed by using the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique. Long Chen suddenly realized that the previously motionless Feng Mansion suddenly started to revolve rapidly. An extremely pure energy was slowly sent into the whirlpool.
That energy was not spiritual energy. Even Long Chen didn’t know what that energy was. Following the infusion of that energy, the tiny particle in his palm gradually grew larger.
At the same time, a terrifying force rose from Long Chen’s palm, causing the entire cave to tremble.
"Boom!"
The cave collapsed, burying the Long Chen within. The Long Chen ignored it and continued to observe the changes in his palm.
Last time, the process of condensing the Windy Manor’s star was extremely fast. He didn’t even understand what had happened before the planet was formed.
However, the formation of the Yuheng Star this time around was relatively slower, giving Long Chen enough time to observe the progress of the Star Projection process.
“Right, to condense the first star, I’ll need to use my own source energy. And the second will need the assistance of the first.”
Long Chen looked at the grain in his palm that was slowly growing, as if it had been nourished by a seed.
As for the medicinal strength of the Jade Height Pill, it was slowly being absorbed by the seed. When this small grain grew to the size of a sesame seed, Long Chen felt a connection in his heart.
With a thought, Long Chen tried to control these little things. He couldn’t help but smile. He found that he could now control this little thing.
This made Long Chen heave a sigh of relief. Long Chen had experienced too many setbacks. No matter what he did, it would be very difficult.
The appearance of the Jade Star this time around gave him a sense of relief. He had originally been prepared to deal with all sorts of difficult problems.
Although Yuheng Star was only the size of a sesame seed, Long Chen was able to control it. With Long Chen controlling it, its growth speed increased.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that not only did the growth of Yuheng Star require the nourishment of Yuheng Pill, but it also required the absorption of the energy of the Fengfu Star.
However, extracting energy from the planet was a passive matter. There was no need for Long Chen to worry about it, all he needed to do was speed up the absorption speed of the planet.
However, what caused Long Chen to feel slightly disheartened was that after all of the Yuheng Pills were absorbed, the Yuheng Star only slightly grew in size.
Long Chen had no choice but to continue to consume the Jade hinge dan beads. After consuming all of their energy, Long Chen discovered that the Jade hinge dan had only grown a tiny bit, not much different from a green bean.
The sweat on Long Chen’s forehead flowed down in an instant. Although he felt that the Qilin fruit in his hand might not be enough for him to condense a complete Jade Level Pill.
But after being able to refine a high grade Three Healing Pill, Long Chen had a sliver of luck in his heart, thinking that he might have a chance to succeed.
But now that he had used up all nine of the Jade hinge dan beads, Long Chen’s heart was cold. At this rate, condensing Jade heng star was much harder than condensing the Jade hinge star from the Feng Residence.
One had to know that when Long Chen condensed the Wind Hall’s star, he had to consume nearly a thousand Wind Hall Pills to complete it.
As for the Qilin fruit in his hand, there were only twenty-four of them. There were only nine that were mature. Some of them were still not ripe yet, but there were others that could not be used for the time being.
The Qilin fruit’s maturation cycle was very slow, and it was not done in batches. For a Qilin fruit to mature, it required a hundred years of time, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth before it would mature.
Long Chen’s heart had dropped from its previous fiery state to the depths of the valley. All his expectations had vanished into thin air.
"Boom!"
Long Chen suddenly stood up and his aura exploded. He vented out the gloom in his heart as a terrifying wave of air spread out.
The mountain peaks exploded, the earth caved in. Boundless air wolves shattered the mountain rocks and trees into fine powder. The frightening power shocked even Long Chen himself.
"My… "Strength!"
Long Chen looked around in disbelief. Within a radius of five kilometers, the ground had caved in by several thousand feet.
Long Chen’s mouth was wide open. He couldn’t help but be surprised and happy as he looked at the palm of his right hand. The previous depressed air had been completely swept away.
"Hahaha!"
Long Chen suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky. The aura of his entire body erupted without restraint, rushing through the world like a raging sea, making the clouds in the nine heavens move.
Previously, Long Chen did not notice, but now, when he finally released his aura, not only was the FengFu star rotating at high speed, even that green pea-sized Yuheng star was spinning non-stop. The powerful energy constantly poured into Long Chen’s body, and it was not the slightest bit weaker than the Feng Fus star.
“I’m rich, I’m rich!”
After Long Chen laughed wildly, he felt like he was about to cry from happiness. Yuheng Star had only just formed its first form, yet it was already comparable to a full-fledged Feng Mansion star. How awesome was that!
After sweeping away all of his depressed emotions, he felt so excited that he was about to dance at any moment. He couldn’t stay in this place any longer, and he needed to find another place to hide.
This discovery both surprised and delighted Long Chen. He found a secluded place and refined the remaining few ripe Qilin fruits into the Jade Height Pill.
After ten days, he finished consuming all of the Jade Height Pellets. As for Long Chen’s Feng Fu star, it had also grown to the size of a Dragon Eye. Clouds and mist began to swirl around it, making it look like a real star.
However, he didn’t dare to think about it for the time being because he needed to consume too many Yuheng Pellets. The ripe Qilin fruit was already gone, and he wasn’t willing to pick those that were still not ripe yet.
Long Chen also discovered that after the Jade Height Pill was formed, his physical body had once again grown to a whole new level. His strength had risen explosively and his combat strength had reached an unprecedented level, which filled him with confidence. Even if he met Yin Luo and the others who had broken through to the Bone Forging stage, there was no need to be afraid.
After some thought, Long Chen spent another five days to refine close to a thousand Triple Flower Invigorated Meridian Pills. He had gained something new, and his concocting speed could be said to be freakishly fast.
These pills were enough for him to eat for a while, so he couldn’t waste the rest of his time. Long Chen opened the map and quickly confirmed his next target — Demon Abyss.
