Chapter 119 - Bad News!

When Long Chen arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, he was no longer the Long Chen whom no one had heard of. Everyone in the Turquoise family had started paying close attention to him after the training exercise, so the workers also knew about him.

However, he was still unfamiliar with these people, so no one went forward to greet him, though whispers were unavoidable. “He defeated Feng Wutian even though he used the Vermilion Bird Immolation. He’s so young too. Long Chen has truly shocked everyone.”

“He’s not bad indeed. Although he’s a little green, he just needs more experience. He will surely take on an important role in the Turquoise Sun Hall in the future.”

“I heard that the Turquoise Sun Hall’s Sect Elder has already submitted his name for the inner family qualifiers. Although there’s no way he’ll pass it, merely being nominated means he has a potential value of at least four stars.”

“Of course. The only reason Long Chen didn’t get the Supreme Purity Sword in the end is because Dongfang-”

“Let’s not speak about the inner family!”

Long Chen walked past the two middle-aged men who were conversing. When one of them spoke of the Supreme Purity Sword, the other hurriedly stopped him.

He understood. From their perspective, Long Chen and Chu Yunyao should have dueled to determine the winner of the sword. The appearance of an inner family member was against the rules of the outer families, but they wouldn’t dare to complain. The inner families held the true power anyway. Are the inner families really that powerful? Looks like I’ll be stepped on forever if I don’t enter an inner family.

Long Chen felt chills.

He soon arrived at the place where he could sell the Beast Soul and demonic cores. There was only a wall with a small opening the size of a tray used for the exchange of goods. He had no way of seeing the person inside. “Put your demonic cores and Beast Souls here. And also your identity jade token,” said a deep voice from the other side of the wall.

Long Chen wasted no time and put the things on the table. A pale arm reached out and took everything.

When he took the Heart Eater’s Beast Soul and demonic core, the hand paused and the person asked, “You’re not cultivating this Category Four Black-tier Beast Soul?”

Long Chen immediately understood that even the people in the Treasure Pavilion knew of him.

As far as the person behind the wall knew, Long Chen was a Beast Warrior who had just attained the Human Core Realm. Therefore, he assumed that Long Chen would be cultivating another Beast Soul, yet he hadn’t.

Previously, he thought Long Chen hadn’t received a Beast Soul that satisfied him, but when he received the Heart Eater’s Beast Soul, he wondered why Long Chen hadn’t cultivated it.

“I’m not in a hurry.”

“Oh ...”

The person didn’t say anything else, though based on the sigh, Long Chen guessed that he was being thought of as greedy.

“Here’s your identity jade token back. You’ll get two hundred and fifty Contribution Points for this sale.”

Long Chen was happy to hear that it was a little more than he expected. After thanking the person, he headed to the place where the Soul Nourishing Fruit was sold. Indeed, there was one on display. “I want this Soul Nourishing Fruit,” he said to an elegant girl who was in charge of the area.

The pretty girl had only seen him once before, which was the last time he came. She only had a faint impression of this person who needed Soul Nourishing Fruits.

However, he was much more famous now, so her attitude was much better than before. She smiled and said, “That will be nine Contribution Points. You mentioned you still needed Soul Nourishing Fruits last time, so I guessed you’d come.”

When Long Chen saw that she was all smiles and very friendly, the prodigal son in him jumped out and grinned. “I came here not only for the Soul Nourishing Fruit, but also to see you.”

“Tsk, you’re asking for a beating.” The girl giggled, covering her mouth.

Long Chen knew not to overdo it, so he asked, “May I ask if there are other soul-nourishing herbs at the Treasure Pavilion?”

The girl thought for a while, then she answered, “No, there aren’t. Headquarters replenishes lacking herbs but won’t add more. But I do remember that the second floor probably has a stalk of Soul Grass. It’s an intermediate Black-tier spiritual herb.”

“Soul Grass?”

Ling Xi grew excited and whispered into Long Chen’s ear, “Hey, bastard, Soul Grass is infinitely stronger than the Soul Nourishing Fruit. It’s almost an advanced Black-tier spiritual herb! One stalk of Soul Grass is as good as a hundred Soul Nourishing Fruits! If you get me one, I can fight an Earthly Core Realm cultivator ...”

When he heard that Ling Xi needed it, he asked, “Sister, may I ask how much the Soul Grass is?”

The girl shook her head. “Forget about the price. Only Earthly Core Realm cultivators can go up to the second floor.”

“Huh?”

Long Chen’s expression soured. He was frustrated with the strict hierarchical system of the Lingwu family.

“But if you really need it, seeing as you called me ‘Sister,’ I can go get it for you.”

“Thank you so much, Sister!” Long Chen was overjoyed.

“Don’t celebrate too early.” The pretty girl furrowed her brows and sighed. “Soul Grass is one of the most valuable intermediate Black-tier herbs, as it is very effective in improving a person’s comprehension abilities. It’s at least three hundred Contribution Points.”

Long Chen’s face fell when he heard the number. I have only about two hundred and forty points right now. I need to go to the Heavenly Martial Realm again to get to three hundred. But Liu Yuan wants five hundred Contribution Points, so what do I do?

He frowned deeply. “If you don’t need it urgently, you can come buy it when you have enough Contribution Points.”

Long Chen nodded and thanked her, then he returned to the Turquoise Willow Residence.

Whatever. I don’t care what that old man says. I don’t even know what I’ll do when I get that Category six Black-tier Beast Soul, so I might as well save Ling Xi first. If I encounter a powerful opponent and she insists on helping, she might accidentally get herself killed.

When he returned to his quarters, he first let Ling Xi cultivate the Soul Nourishing Fruit, then he took out a Blazing Thunder Crystal. “The Blazing Thunder Crystals gave me a huge boost in power. I have thirty-eight of them left; what will happen if I merge with all of them? A Level One Blazing Thunder Combat Body is the equivalent of an intermediate Black-tier Body Tempering technique, so what about Level Two?”

Qi surged within his body, and he merged with the crystal once more. To his surprise, merging with his eleventh crystal was much easier than the tenth.

His surging Qi suppressed the crystal, and after more than an hour of pain, he merged with his eleventh crystal without incident.

“Next, number twelve ...”

Time passed as he merged with the Blazing Thunder Crystals, and he no longer had any concept of night and day. By the time he merged with the fifteenth crystal, he didn’t know how much time had passed.

It was getting more difficult now, so he had no choice but to activate the Dragon Soul Transformation. After I merge with these crystals, I’ll enter the Heavenly Martial Realm again and get Ling Xi the Soul Grass. When that’s done, I’ll go out and search for the Blood Saints.

Long Chen had a clear goal in mind.

But when he was preparing to merge with the sixteenth crystal, there was a frantic knocking on his door. He opened it to find an anxious Gan Lin.

Long Chen had always thought of him as a calm, composed person, so he was shocked to see him so worried and asked hurriedly, “Senior Gan, what happened?”

Gan Lin quickly explained, “Long Chen, you have family here to see you. Get to the Martial Hall, quick.”

“Family?”

Long Chen was shocked. He had to be referring to his family in Baiyang Town, and if the Yang family had come to Lingwu City, it had to be something serious!

Long Chen had a bad feeling and rushed to the Martial Hall. Soon, he saw a man who was already starting to approach old age—Yang Yuntian.

“Second Uncle, what happened?”

Yang Yuntian’s heart ached. When he saw Long Chen, he said anxiously, “Chen’er, Lingqing was kidnapped by the Blood Saints!”
