"Something's wrong, Elder Long, Long Chen... He gave Ye Qian ... "Deputy Commander of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion," hurriedly ran into the grand hall, stammering as he spoke.
But halfway through speaking, he realized something was wrong. In the main hall, another person was playing chess with Elder Long. Upon seeing that person, he hurriedly saluted: "
Disciple greets Elder Longqi."
Elder Longqi and Elder Long were sitting in the main hall. Elder Longqi looked at the deputy commander and said,
"We already know. You may leave now."
"Yes,"
the deputy commander stepped back.
Elder Long sighed and said, "I think Long Chen's fate is far too strange. He always makes enemies without realizing it, constantly causing trouble to come after him. Should we make a move this time?" Elder
Longqi smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "This time it's not fate, but someone deliberately arranged it." On
the chessboard between the two, a scene appeared: Long Chen was gripping Ye Qian's neck, his whole body trembling with lightning. Everything happening here could not escape their notice.
"On purpose?" You mean. Elder Long was taken aback.
Elder Longqi nodded and said, "This was deliberately arranged by them. We don't need to interfere; naturally, someone will come out." "
...
The person who attacked Long Chen was none other than Ye Yaochen. However, today, Ye Yaochen's face was much less dark. Although his hair was still gray, he looked much younger.
If Long Chen hadn't clearly remembered his aura and almost failed to recognize him, Ye Yaochen had just used a soul attack on him, but Long Chen blocked him with the power of thunder.
At this moment, Long Chen gripped Ye Qian's throat, standing in midair, coldly staring at Ye Yaochen. This guy had actually used a sneaky move on him. If he hadn't acted quickly, he would have fallen right into his trap.
Fortunately, Long Chen's soul power was strong enough; even though Ye Yaochen launched a sudden attack, it still had no effect.
"Long Chen, put Ye Qian down quickly. This is your only way out." Ye Yaochen looked at Long Chen and shouted sternly.
However, from his sharp shout, Long Chen seemed to catch a hint of schadenfreude. Though angry on the surface, there was a hint of joy in his heart.
"I don't think this is my only way out. Your words are like farting—I can't even be bothered to listen. I'm waiting here for someone who can make decisions to speak." Long Chen sneered.
At that moment, a commotion broke out outside. The crowd parted, and a group of elderly men dressed in golden robes walked in.
Leading the group was an elderly man with white hair and beard. Upon seeing the elder, Ye Yaochen hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Dan, this matter has actually alarmed you." The
old man shook his head and said, "I've lived for a long time, and this is the first time in my life I've encountered a disciple of the Divine Pill Hall being captured. Today is truly eye-opening. I want to see who has such great ability." The
elder, accompanied by a group of powerful figures, approached Long Chen. Ye Yaochen shouted sternly, "
Long Chen, this is the Pill Master of the Divine Pill Hall. Get down now!"
Long Chen burst out laughing: "Ye Yaochen, are you an idiot?" Or do you have a grudge against this idiot in my hands? Do you really want to provoke me and kill him that badly? "
Crack, crack..."
Long Chen suddenly squeezed his hand hard, making Ye Qian's neck crack. His face turned purple as he struggled wildly, but Long Chen gripped his vital spot, making it impossible for him to resist.
Long Chen looked at Ye Qian and said, "Don't blame me, it was that guy doing it on purpose. How do you know such an idiot?" He deliberately wants me to kill you, and then he has an excuse to deal with me.
If I let you go, if he wants to deal with me, I might as well crush you and then escape. Although the chances of escaping are slim, having you as a burden doesn't seem like a loss for me. "
No... "..."
At this moment, Ye Qian was finally afraid, and at the same time, he hated Ye Yaochen to death. Ye Yaochen wanted to escalate the situation and didn't care about his life or death at all.
"Long Chen, things have come to this point, and it's about settled. If there's something to discuss, let's all talk it out calmly. There's no need to make such a fuss.
Your life is your life, and Ye Qian's life is too. No one is more valuable than the other. The so-called 'one life for another' is just words spoken in anger. I believe you wouldn't do this unless absolutely necessary. Clearly, the current conflict hasn't escalated to that level yet. The pill master of the Divine Pill Hall smiled slightly, seemingly not angry, but rather carried a confident sense of control over the entire arena.
Long Chen smiled faintly, speaking calmly and confidently, "You're right, sir. To be honest, if I had to trade my life for him, I really wouldn't want to let it go."
But sometimes, the things some idiots do really make you want to slap them to death.
Honorable Pill Master, I just want to ask: Are all the disciples of your Divine Pill Hall truly immortals descended to earth?
Pursuing someone else, and not being allowed to refuse? Refusing and then turning hostile? Not only does he spit nonsense, but he also deliberately makes things difficult?
Now, tens of thousands of disciples of the Divine Clan have seen it throughout the entire hall. You can just ask anyone and you'll know what happened—it's not my intentional slander."
I wonder, respected Lord Dan, could you give me a perfect explanation so that I am truly convinced? When
this happened, many people witnessed the whole process. The right and wrong were very obvious, and Ye Qian simply ignored them.
"Young people, after all, who hasn't had their youthful impulsiveness and irritability? If everyone were like us old men, lifeless, the gods would have no hope.
Right and wrong, right or wrong, don't matter; what matters is that you learn from mistakes. Young people, arrogant and domineering, will inevitably pay the price one day. This is the necessary path of growth.
This matter truly lies with Ye Qian. As the master of the Pill Hall, I failed to discipline him properly and bear undeniable responsibility. Heh heh heh, if you feel wronged, how about I, this old man, apologize to you? The old man chuckled.
"Lord Dan Master"
The elders beside him were shocked. The Lord of Dan held such a noble status, yet he actually admitted his mistake to a young man. This was an utter humiliation.
The Lord of the Alchemy waved his hand and said, "Right is right, wrong is wrong. Is there really a difference in status?" As
the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face. Long Chen couldn't help but take a closer look at the old man, and unexpectedly, he was quite kind.
However, this person's aura was so obscure that it was impossible to discern his true nature, and he couldn't detect any soul fluctuations at all. Long Chen could not sense his kindness, but he also could not sense his malice.
But Long Chen knew that this person was probably on the same level as Elder Longqi, both powerful beings above Tongming, so he needed to be extra cautious.
"Senior, being so brave in admitting your mistakes is truly a role model for our generation. If I keep refusing to let this matter go, it would seem too petty."
Long Chen smiled slightly, glanced at Ye Qian in his hand, and said, "Did you see that?" Having the right to be arrogant, but not being arrogant—that's true strength.
The saying 'a full bottle doesn't ring, a half bottle clangs' refers to people like you—learn from your elders. "
"Whoosh"
Long Chen waved his hand, and Ye Qian was shoved out by Long Chen. Just as Long Chen released Ye Qian, Ye Yaochen suddenly shouted,
"Take down this audacious madman together!"
Ye Yaochen was the first to strike, but just as he moved, a large, dark hand pressed down on his shoulder, leaving him immobilized.
Long Chen looked at the giant hand, his heart pounding wildly. The Pill Master who made the move was pitch black, like charcoal, and there were even wood grain patterns on it.
"Using the body as the furnace, life as the guide, mastering the myriad paths of heaven and earth—senior, you are truly a great master of alchemy, a model for us. My apologies for the disrespect." Long Chen couldn't help but be moved. He bowed slightly to the Lord of the Pill, his eyes filled with respect.
The reason the Pill Master's hands are like this is because they use their bodies as furnaces, using their life to nurture pills. Their palms have been eroded by the fire of myriad paths, which is why they have taken on this form.
It can be said that those who can achieve this are not only pursuing the supreme realm, but also treating alchemy as a kind of faith—a faith more noble than life itself. So, at that moment, Long Chen felt a sense of admiration for the Lord of Alchemy.
Alchemy is a prestigious profession, but most people do so mainly because of the highly respected status of alchemists and to enjoy wealth and glory. Alchemists are the most sought-after profession in the world.
But the more such a profession is, the more it can make people lose their true self. That's why alchemists usually look down on themselves, acting all high and mighty, and their tone is a notch above others. Over time, this has become a trend.
But anyone who values alchemy more than their own life is worthy of respect, especially Long Chen, who is also considered a pill cultivator.
Seeing Long Chen see through his technique at a glance, the Pill Master was quite surprised. After all, throughout the entire Divine Pill Hall, he was the only one to have achieved this feat.
Even now, the elders of the Divine Pill Hall still don't know why his hands look like this.
"You truly are a master of alchemy, seeing through my background at a glance—truly admirable." The Lord of the Pill's eyes were filled with admiration.
Most importantly, Long Chen was still young, in the prime of youthful energy. The fact that he dared to strike here and capture Ye Qian showed his innate pride and dominance.
But upon seeing his hand, she immediately became respectful and lowered her posture. Such a mindset seemed far beyond what a young person should have.
"You can also refine pills?"
Seeing the Pill Master's high praise for Long Chen, Ye Qian was filled with anger. He had thought the Pill Master would stand up for him, but if this continued, he feared he would lose face for nothing. He couldn't help but snort coldly.
"I wouldn't say I know it, I can only say I know a little." Long Chen smiled calmly, almost knowing what he was about to say.
Sure enough, Ye Qian sneered, "I heard you secretly learned alchemy in Dan Valley?" The alchemy techniques represented by Dan Valley are all defeated by my own hands. I wonder if you have the courage to compete with our people here?" "
You guessed it right. I really don't have the guts." Long Chen smiled calmly, pulled Wanqing aside, and said to the Pill Master, "
I still need to buy some things. I wonder if this matter will affect my use of points?"
"Of course not." The Lord of Pills smiled faintly.
"Then I apologize for my rudeness, junior."
As he spoke, Long Chen was about to pull Wanqing to buy rare medicine, but Ye Qian couldn't help but become furious: "
Coward, coward."
Long Chen pretended not to hear and began to look at the rare medicines on the counter. Suddenly, Ye Qian shouted loudly:
"If you dare to bet with me, and you win, I'll give you all my fortune. Do you dare to bet?"
Long Chen's eyes lit up instantly. He turned and said, "Let me ask, how much money do you have?" ps
