Fang Chang slapped himself in the leg. “That’s right! Now that you mention it, I heard that the Huo family seems to have run over to the Hua family several times. Now I understand. This Huo Wufang is definitely trying to release his anger on other people. Long Chen’s dead and the others are being protected by the Xuantian Dao Sect. They can’t spread their hands that far.
“Right now, the only one they can target is Hua Biluo. As long as they apply some pressure on the Hua family, then with an ancient family’s character, they probably wouldn’t offend the ones in charge of selling pills for the Pill Tower, especially not for some Chosen-level disciple.
“That bastard’s taking Hua Biluo as a concubine just to torment her. What an absolutely despicable man! Unable to do anything to Long Chen, he actually released his fury on his friends. Such idiots are the most contemptuous!”
Chai Liehuo suddenly said, “I remember now. In the Jiuli secret realm, Huo Wufang actually used the threat of taking her as a concubine. But Hua Biluo still took action. So he’s getting revenge.”
Long Chen smiled slightly. But that smile contained a touch of iciness. Normally, when people targeted Long Chen, there was still room for discussion. But if they dared to target the people by his side, that would be enmity of no rest until death. Huo Wufang, if I don’t play you to death this time, then I won’t be Long Chen.
At this time, a group of three women, including Taohong, walked over. Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were their old clients, and they naturally didn’t want to lose their business.
One of them walked over and sat beside Long Chen, gently saying, “Master Long San, let me pour you some wine.”
This woman was not bad, and she was very cute. Even if she was acting, the fact that she could bring her acting to this level was definitely not easy.
“How old are you?” Long Chen smiled. In any case, the money had been spent. Teasing her would be fine, and then the money wouldn’t be wasted.
“Eighteen,” she answered bashfully.
“Really? How coincidental. I’m also eighteen.”
“Master Long, you really are a tease!” she cried bashfully, her face red.
Profound, truly profound! This acting ability has also reached a divine level. For her acting skills to be so profound, then her bed skills… It’s no wonder Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo would rather come here than take a concubine.
People with status like them would normally have to find appropriate women with their own status to marry. For them, their women would have to be alchemists with pure bloodlines. That was to have the finest offspring possible.
It was forbidden for them to copulate with just any beautiful woman they met. If those women weren’t alchemists, then their offspring’s talent would be extremely lacking, and it would affect the family traditions. If they really did end up having a child, it would normally be directly executed. This was extremely harsh.
Although Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were noble heirs, they weren’t bad people. They would rather come here than take concubines like that. That made Long Chen have a favorable opinion of them.
The three of them ate and drank with the three women accompanying them. Even after several drinks had entered her stomach, that woman’s acting was still so perfect. A naughty smile suddenly appeared on Long Chen’s face. They really thought he was inexperienced.
The number of men this woman had sated was even greater than the members of his legion. By acting as if she had such a pure and innocent heart, she was looking down on him.
“Lady Zhenzhen, can I ask you a personal question?” After talking this long, Long Chen had finally learned her name.
Long Chen’s face already had a constant naughty feel to it. Now that he smiled, it seemed naughtier than ever. Even the experienced Zhenzhen felt some nervousness. She bashfully said, “Please ask, master Long. But don’t make it too embarrassing for me.”
Long Chen waved his hand. “How could I do something like that? I, Long San, am a pure person. I just want to ask, do you know how to use a carrot?”
Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were dumbfounded. They had definitely been tricked. They had thought Long San was a good person, but now they realized he was practically a brute.
A lost expression appeared on Zhenzhen’s face. “I don’t.”
“What about a cucumber?”
“No.”
“What about an eggplant?”
“No.”
“What about a steamed bun?”
“Even a steamed bun can be used?”
As soon as she said this, Zhenzhen tightly covered her mouth. But it was too late. Her bashfulness became a rage, and she hit Long Chen. “Master Long, you really are evil!”
Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang were already rolling on the floor in laughter. Even Taohong and Shuihua were laughing, huge waves appearing on their chests.
“Such a thing can make you laugh so hard? Be careful of your laughter turning to sorrow.” Just as Long Chen and the others were laughing, an ear-piercing voice rang out.
[1] = Shuihua. These are characters found in the expression , meaning fickle. As a side note, Taohong means pink or red peach.
Chapter 673 Encountering the Corrupt Path
Long Chen turned and saw five people walk in. What startled Long Chen was that these people were all wearing red robes. That red was the kind of red that looked like blood. An image of a fierce fiend was embroidered on their chests.
“Corrupt path.”
Long Chen immediately recalled that this was Pill Yang Prefecture, and it was considered neutral territory. As long as they didn’t intentionally cause trouble for the other, the Righteous and Corrupt paths wouldn’t fight here.
But the curious thing was that out of these five people, two of them had the aura of the Heavenly Daos around them. There were actually two Celestials.
The words just now had come from one of those Celestials. He was clearly trying to find trouble for the three of them.
Without even thinking, it was obvious these people were participating in the ceremony of Huo Wufang marrying his concubine. This grand ceremony was something the Huo family was holding to tell people it was time to bring gifts.
As for these people, considering how arrogant they were acting, they definitely had received the Huo family’s support and had intentionally come here to cause trouble for them.
Although the Fang and Chai families were part of the Pill Tower, the selling of pills was still controlled by the Huo family. Their two families had no direct contact with the buyers, which was why these Corrupt experts dared to do this. To put it simply, they were simply currying favor with the Huo family.
Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were just about to furiously retort when Long Chen stood up with a faint smile and walked over.
“Who was it that just farted?” asked Long Chen, looking as if someone needed a spanking.
One of the Celestials glanced at Long Chen and disdainfully said, “Who do you think you are? Fuck off-”
Before he could say more, Long Chen’s hand viciously slapped across his face. This time Long Chen hadn’t held back at all. These people weren’t alchemists, so their physical bodies were strong enough that he didn’t have any misgivings.
BOOM! An explosive sound shook everyone’s eardrums. It was something possible to hear within several miles.
Let alone the fact that he hadn’t had any defenses up, even if he had guarded, at such a distance, he still wouldn’t have been able to dodge. He was like a shooting star, piercing through the window and flying into the distance.
Finally, the Celestial ended up flying dozens of miles away, and he crashed into Huo Wufang’s newly constructed manor. The collision directly destroyed the entire building.
Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang were shocked. Just what kind of monster was Long San? If he possessed such terrifying strength, was he even an alchemist?”
“You-” The other Celestial was the first to recover from his shock, and he smashed his fist at Long Chen.
&nb
sp; But just as he punched, Long Chen had already slapped him across the face. He staggered back, and his punch ended up striking one of his own people.
That person let out a scream as his bones broke. The Celestial hadn’t even realized what had happened when Long Chen once more slapped him.
This time he hit him in the other direction and with greater power. He spun through the air. He had barely stabilized himself when he saw a sinister face winking at him.
He was horrified. Having been slapped twice, he knew he had run into an expert. He was just about to retreat to widen the distance before attacking.
“Where do you think you’re going? Get back here!”
He had only just moved when he felt two hands grab his hair. Long Chen pulled, at the same time raising his knee, smashing it against the Corrupt Celestial’s high and lofty nose.
The sound of bones breaking rang out throughout the hall. Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang both winced. They all sympathized with this pain.
The nose was an extremely weak spot. It was where countless nerves connected. After this attack, the Celestial’s face had caved in.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, who let you be a dog?!” With each word, Long Chen would punctuate it by slamming his knee into the Celestial’s nose again. The Celestial’s blood, snot, and tears were flowing down.
“Get lost!” With a furious roar, he struggled free. But as a result, because of Long Chen’s hold on his hair, a large swath of his scalp was torn off.
He endured the pain to escape. His head was covered with blood, and he was just about to attack when a silent kick struck him in the crotch.
For a moment, everyone was silent. The only sound was the sound of balls breaking. That sound resounded heavily through the air. Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo involuntarily clenched their legs, trying to not let their balls feel distressed.
The Celestial held his lower parts. He slowly knelt on the ground and then collapsed. This attack had hit his most vital part, and he was in so much pain that he hovered between life and death.
Suddenly, Long Chen directly slapped the two other Corrupt experts who were still stunned by the scene before them. He sent them flying on the same path as the first Celestial, and they smashed into Huo Wufang’s newly destroyed manor.
As for the final Corrupt member who had been struck half-dead by the first Celestial accidentally, Long Chen was too lazy to bother him. He arrived in front of the unconscious Celestial and kicked him a few times.
“AHH!” The unconscious Celestial immediately let out miserable shrieks, but a kick to his jaw cut off that sound.
Long Chen dragged that person like a dead dog, dropping him in front of the table and then using him as a chair. But this chair was a bit uneven, so he pushed down a bit.
This push caused the Celestial’s entire body to twitch, and froth came out of his mouth. Seeing this scene, the three women were pale as paper, unable to make a sound.
They were also Xiantian experts. Although they were unable to sense this person’s Heavenly Dao energy, they sensed a terrifying pressure from him.
But this terrifying figure had been beaten into a dead dog-like state by Long Chen, and was then used as a chair. They had never seen such a terrifying fiend.
“Brother Fang, brother Chai, let’s continue drinking.” Long Chen raised his cup toward the two stupefied fellows.
Only now did they recover from their shock and drink with him. Chai Liehuo asked, “Long San, how are you so strong?”
“Hehe, I won’t hide anything from my two big bros. I, Long San, have had a life full of trouble and misfortune. My road was full of bumps, and I’m always surrounded by all kinds of brutes. If I didn’t kill them, they would kill me. I also had no one to help me. So if I wanted to live, I had to make myself more vicious, and so I trained a body of brute strength. To tell the truth, anyone who sees me fight would never believe that I know alchemy,” laughed Long Chen.
Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were speechless. That last statement was too true. Even having personally seen him refine pills, they could barely believe he was an alchemist now.
Fang Chang said, “Long San, you really are a monster. You know alchemy, and you know martial arts. Dual martial-pill cultivation is a path of no return, but you have actually reached this level. That really is amazing. However, this fellow is a Celestial. The only reason you managed to get an advantage over him was because he didn’t have time to use the Cry of the Heavenly Daos. In the future, you have to be careful!”
“Who cares if he is a Celestial? As long as it’s someone Huo Wufang sent to target you two big bros, I’ll go all-out against them. Fuck, if they want to bully you, they’ll have to do it over my corpse.” Long Chen patted himself on the chest.
Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang were incredibly moved, their eyes almost filling up with tears. This Long San was so loyal!
“You bastard Long San, hand him over!” Suddenly, a furious roar came from outside. They looked outside to see Huo Wufang furiously glaring at them.
“As expected, these people were sent by you as a provocation. Your person is in my hands, so if you want him, come fight over him.” After saying that, Long Chen pulled the Celestial out from under him. Carrying him by his foot, he shook him outside the window a few times. The Celestial was completely unconscious and simply dangled like a corpse.
The other Celestial that Long Chen had sent flying was standing beside Huo Wufang. Seeing this, he wanted to immediately charge up and tear Long Chen to pieces.
“Hey, little fellow, what are you staring at me for? You still refuse to obey, right?” raged Long Chen. He raised the unconscious Celestial out of the window and slapped him in the face a dozen times, causing his face to swell. He then disdainfully pointed at the Celestial on the ground. “Little fellow, do you want to keep looking at me like that?”
The Celestial had practically gone insane from rage. He was just about to charge forward when Huo Wufang stopped him. “This isn’t a good place to fight. It’s too small, and Long San’s body is extremely powerful. If you don’t use your full strength, you won’t be able to subdue him. Furthermore, he also has Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang beside him, and you can’t injure them. We can’t rush this matter recklessly.”
After all, this was the treasure tower region. It was filled with buildings and people. If they fought here, there would be many casualties. The Pill Emperor Competition was currently being held, and if the higher-ups were to learn of this, they would all be doomed.
“Long San, what do you want to release him? Could it be that you’re a petty little person who only knows how to threaten others to raise your status? If that’s the case, then I really will have to look down on you,” said Huo Wufang.
His answer was sixteen slaps in the face. Of course, the face that was being slapped was the unconscious Celestial. His face once more swelled, looking like a balloon that might burst at any moment.
“Idiot, do you think I’m someone scared by insults? Why don’t you keep trying such a childish move?” retorted Long Chen disdainfully.
“Brother, if this continues, senior apprentice-brother Yaoqi will be killed,” said the Celestial.
“Shut up. Aren’t I trying to think of something right now?! This Long San is someone unmoved by force or persuasion,” raged Huo Wufang. He hated when others pushed him and already had a stomach full of fury. He had wanted them to bully Long San, perhaps by humiliating him or beating him. That would have been a blow to the Fang and Chai families’ morale. But as a result, this matter had turned to its current state. He was already incredibly furious.
“Long San, what do you want?!” shouted Huo Wufang.
“I can release him if you want. I just want one thing. If you can bring it out, I’ll immediately release him.” A certain thought popped into Long Chen’s head.
Chapter 674 Same Race as an Old Friend
“I want a stalk of Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Grass. As long as you can take that out, I’ll immediately release this pe
rson,” said Long Chen.
In the medicinal ingredient repository, Long Chen had clearly seen a spot for the Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Grass. But that space had been empty.
It was later when he asked around that he learned the Pill Tower had had this ingredient half a year ago. But it had been taken away by the Huo family.
It was unknown whether or not the Huo family still had any left, but Long Chen wanted to try it.
“Fine, I’ll get someone to bring it immediately.” Huo Wufang took out a badge and whispered a few things to one of his subordinates. That person immediately rushed off.
“Fuck, the Huo family really is intolerable! Last time, they took all ten stalks of the Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Grass with the excuse that another Pill Tower urgently needed it. But it was all a lie! Not only do they bribe others with pills, but they even pull tricks with medicinal ingredients! If it wasn’t for Long San, we still wouldn’t know we had been deceived!” raged Chai Liehuo.
He suddenly recalled that the Huo family would often find excuses to take ingredients from the storagehouse. The Chai family was only in charge of keeping track, and everything always had to be accounted for. But he hadn’t expected the Huo family would actually dare do something like this.
Now Long Chen had exposed them. These fellows had definitely colluded with the ones in charge of accounting, or they wouldn’t dare to be so obviously corrupt.
“Long San, why would you want a Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Grass? Although it’s precious, Pill Valley will send us a bit to make up for what we used. Why didn’t you ask for something else? Their Huo family has the money,” said Chai Liehuo.
He had no idea that this Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Grass was more precious than anything else to Long Chen. He wouldn’t exchange it for any other treasure.
“I just made something up. I figured that if it wasn’t in the medicinal ingredient repository, they wouldn’t have it either. I was trying to make things hard on them. Who would have thought that they actually had it? And now that I’ve already said it, I can’t just change my demands, or that would make me lose face,” explained Long Chen perfectly.
