That person was none other than the deputy valley master of Rongtian Valley who came to read the "imperial decree" when Luo Sect was established. He was nearly slapped to death by Long Chen, yet no one even remembered his name.
At this moment, he was standing at a secret manual, seemingly hesitating about something. Suddenly, he spotted Long Chen, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
Last time, Long Chen slapped him and nearly smashed his head, leaving him seriously injured and unconscious. By the time he woke up, it had already been three days later.
After learning the whole story, he flew into a rage and wanted to kill Long Chen outright, but was stopped by the Longyan Sect.
Killing someone inside the courtyard is a grave taboo. Even before he succeeds, the inner court's experts must be alerted and killed outright.
Longyan Sect said that if he couldn't kill Long Chen, he would disappear from the inner courtyard himself, and Rongtian Valley couldn't afford to lose face over that person.
However, to kill someone in the inner courtyard, one must have the right opportunity. He had been thinking these days about a chance to take down Long Chen with legitimacy, and suddenly Long Chen appeared before him. So the moment he saw Long Chen, killing intent surged instantly.
This killing intent—not to mention a powerhouse like Long Chen, at such close range, even a fool could sense it.
Long Chen looked into the man's eyes filled with murderous intent and sneered inwardly. This person was truly an idiot, blatantly telling the other that he wanted to kill—was it just to scare others? How is this any different from courting death?
"Long Chen, just wait. Don't let me catch your chance, or you'll know what happens next." The man gritted his teeth and said.
Long Chen shook his head. Someone like this posed no threat to him—no fighting power, no brains. Long Chen couldn't be bothered to waste words with him.
Long Chen happened to see a secret manual on the bookshelf in front of him—the 'Heaven-Shaking Sword.' He was stunned—how could such a name appear in a fire-element manual?
Suddenly, he remembered that this person had hesitated for a long time in front of this manual. It must be extraordinary. Looking at the price, wow, 750,000 Immortal Crystals.
No wonder he hesitated for so long—a single session costs 750,000, and he doesn't know how many times it will take to learn it. This guy probably isn't confident in his own comprehension, so he's considering whether to learn this manual.
Long Chen saw that person still staring at him and was furious, wishing he could slap him to death. But this was the Divine Dao Scripture Pavilion, a forbidden martial arts area. He didn't want to be caught and locked up for days because of this guy.
"Get lost, don't disgust people here."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he reached out to touch the manual.
"Buzz!"
The manual glowed, and Long Chen's crystal card was instantly swept away with 750,000 immortal crystals. A beam of light enveloped Long Chen, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Seeing Long Chen choose to cultivate the Heaven-Shaking Sword, the man was furious. But Long Chen had already entered the meditation room. No matter how angry he was, he dared not cause trouble here and could only grit his teeth and leave.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Before Long Chen's eyes,
swords of flame danced, rainbows filled the sky, and the intense heat began to distort the space.
"Wow, using the power of the primordial flame, condensing a life-bound flying sword, nurturing them with one's own mind, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, turning them into one's life-bound weapon. The laws of the Immortal Realm are indeed different from those of the Mortal Realm; there's absolutely no way to do this here."
No wonder it's so expensive—this move is incredibly effective. The stronger the source power, the more flame swords can be condensed, and the stronger the flame swords themselves.
This move was somewhat similar to the rune sword Luo Bing summoned, except her rune sword was condensed from bloodline power, which was limited and could only summon a few hundred rune swords at most.
But this Blazing Flame Heaven-Shaking Sword, as long as the source power is sufficient and soul power can be wielded, it has no upper limit. Even with Long Chen's composure, he couldn't help but feel excited.
If tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Blazing Heaven-Shattering Swords were summoned, how terrifying would that power be? In the future, wouldn't he be like Mengqi, no need to do it himself—just a thought and he could slay an enemy.
"This is handsome!"
Long Chen was thrilled and hurriedly had Huo Ling'er learn. In an instant, Huo Ling'er mastered the operation of the Heaven-Shaking Sword.
"Buzz"—
A small flaming sword appeared in Long Chen's hand. The sword was only about three inches long, composed entirely of flame runes, and bore Long Chen's soul imprint, making it look like a part of his body.
Driven by Long Chen's soul, it slowly floated in the air, slowly circling around him.
"Sss sizzle s ..."
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, hundreds of flame swords floated around Long Chen. The fire dragons combined their primordial power with Long Chen's soul power to cultivate the flame swords.
However, these flame swords were still in the embryonic stage and didn't have much destructive power. They needed to grow, and the process of growth required Long Chen's soul power, the fire dragon's origin power, and the external flame power. Only when these three combined could they gradually become strong.
Originally, Huo Ling'er wanted to continue making the Heaven-Shaking Swords, but Long Chen discovered that making these Heaven-Shattering Swords caused some damage to the Fire Dragon.
To maintain its absolute combat power, Long Chen let her create the Heaven-Shattering Sword without affecting herself.
He wasn't in a hurry to use the Heaven-Shaking Sword, but the Fire Dragon was one of his strongest trump cards right now. It was a life-saving weapon—no mistakes allowed.
After finishing the Heaven-Shaking Sword, Long Chen hurried to the Immortal Academy. In the Immortal Dao Scripture Pavilion, he selected ten combat-type immortal techniques for the disciples of Luo Sect, and taught them after finishing them himself.
After everything was settled, Long Chen returned to his residence, took out the pill furnace, looked at the list in his hand, and began refining pills.
Time passed bit by bit. On the third day, disciples from both alliances gathered, and Long Chen had already finished refining all the pills listed in the order.
It must be said, with Huo Ling'er and Rongyue in the Star-Refining Furnace, pill refining became extremely simple. As long as Long Chen refined those pills two or three times, Huo Ling'er and Rongyue would have completely memorized them, so they could refine pills themselves without worrying about them.
With the Chaos Pearl, Long Chen had an inexhaustible treasure basin—he could have as many pills as he wanted, with no cost at all.
When the pills were handed out to the disciples, they were all excited. At first, they were a bit nervous, since the academy's price was an iron rule—they could buy them at a 20% discount, which was hard to believe.
But when the pills were actually distributed to them, and the quality was even better than the pills sold at the Pill Institute, they were all thrilled. This way, they could save a lot of money every month.
Long Chen helped them save money on secret manuals, on pills, and boost their combat power. For a time, the disciples of both alliances were filled with gratitude toward Long Chen.
"Third Brother, we've got a new member from our league. Let me introduce you." After Mu Qingyun finished speaking, more than fifty unfamiliar faces walked up and bowed to Long Chen:
"Greetings, Third Master."
Long Chen's gaze swept over the group, then he suddenly said to a woman, "Speak, who sent you?" "
