Right now, Long Chen was cultivating the Advanced Mystic movement combat skill, the Nine Flash of the True Dragon, in the Dongfang family's residence.
"No wonder it's Xuan Xiao's movement combat skill, it's really extraordinary." Long Chen was immersed in reading and thinking about it, and he was secretly pondering about it.
"Can I achieve the first flash just like this?" Holding the Nine Flash of the True Dragon in his hand, Long Chen read it while pacing back and forth in his room.
His consciousness was immersed in the Nine Flash of the True Dragon, and his feet were moving subconsciously. His body was moving at an incredible speed, and it was getting faster and faster.
The last time Long Chen cultivated the Devil Spirit Sword Finger, he didn't spend too much time on it. In terms of cultivating combat skills, he had no idea what his potential was.
The most practical use of the mysterious dragon jade was to increase one's comprehension ability. Because the mysterious dragon jade existed in his sea of knowledge, Long Chen could feel that the 'god-like' thing in his head was constantly growing.
This could be considered as a comprehension ability towards the secret technique.
With a comprehension ability that was much stronger than ordinary people, Long Chen's comprehension speed when cultivating combat skills was a few times faster than ordinary people.
"One day and one night have passed, but this Nine Flash of the True Dragon isn't that difficult …" Long Chen put down the secret technique and put it into his cosmos bag. A faint smile emerged on his face.
If anyone else who had cultivated the Nine Flash of the True Dragon heard this, they would definitely vomit blood. Most people would only be able to cultivate an Advanced Mystic combat skill after reaching the Heavenly Core realm. Long Chen was just an Earth Core warrior, how could he say that the Nine Flash of the True Dragon wasn't difficult?
It wasn't difficult, but that was only for him.
"It's time to find the soul medicine for Lingxi." Long Chen walked out of the room.
This was the first thing he wanted to do when he came to the Dongfang family.
Because the Nine Flash of the True Dragon was too attractive, Long Chen only left the room now. But, Lingxi could still hold on for a long time, so it wasn't a problem.
Feng Yu Yun Xiao, while Long Chen was currently going to Third Brother's Profound Cloud Pavilion.
The Dongfang Clan's buildings were scattered throughout the garden. Among them, there were four buildings that stood out the most. They were the Wind, Rain, Cloud, and Sky Pavilions. The four pavilions were located at four corners. Long Chen spent about half an hour walking from the Mysterious Sky Pavilion to the Mysterious Cloud Pavilion.
The Profound Cloud Pavilion didn't look too different from the Profound Wind Pavilion. They were both ancient-looking buildings. However, the Profound Wind Pavilion was solemn and old-fashioned, while the Profound Cloud Pavilion was surrounded by medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy. It was like an immortal palace.
When Long Chen walked into the Profound Cloud Pavilion, there were a few teenagers who were about thirteen or fourteen years old walking out of the Profound Cloud Pavilion happily. When they saw Long Chen, they were all startled for a moment before leaving in whispers.
"Who is this person?
Why did you come to the inner clan? "
The inner clan teenagers were inevitably a little arrogant. When they saw the unfamiliar face of Long Chen, they felt a little unhappy.
"He should be the adopted son that Fourth Uncle brought back. I heard that his name is Long Chen. He's sixteen years old, but he has just broken through to the Earth Core realm." Another teenager said with a cold expression.
"So pitiful?
Let's go back and tease him. "
"Let's forget about it. Big brother Tianyu is still waiting for us."
After listening to their conversation, Long Chen didn't have any reaction. He just treated them as a group of little brats, and he didn't put them in his eyes.
However, among this group of little brats, there were actually one or two Earth Core warriors. For the current Long Chen, this was just too heaven-defying.
There weren't many rooms in the Profound Cloud Pavilion. Most of them were sealed. Long Chen looked around and found that only one room was open. After walking in, he found that it was a bit empty. There was only a reclining chair in the corner of the room. At this moment, there was a thin middle-aged man comfortably lying on the reclining chair.
"Long Chen?" Perhaps because he sensed someone coming, he slightly opened his eyes and recognized Long Chen.
"Third Uncle." This middle-aged man was actually Xuan Xiao's third brother, Dongfang Xuanyun.
Just like what Xuan Xiao had said, Dongfang Xuanyun had a good relationship with him. Therefore, when he saw Long Chen, he immediately stood up and asked, "What do you need in the Profound Cloud Pavilion?"
"I'm looking for a medicine that can nourish the soul. Do you have it?" Dongfang Xuanyun went straight to the point. Long Chen didn't waste any time with him.
"Yes, of course we do."
Although Dongfang Xuanyun didn't know why Long Chen wanted this kind of medicine, he didn't ask. Instead, he took out a light golden booklet from the table behind him and handed it to Long Chen.
"This is the list of this kind of medicine. Take a look and tell me if there's anything you need. If it's something ordinary, I can directly approve it for you."
It had only been a day since Long Chen came to the Dongfang family. The only person from the Blue Dragon family that Long Chen trusted and approved was Xuan Xiao. However, it seemed like Xuan Yun wasn't a bad person. As for Dongfang Xuanyu, it was obvious that she didn't like Long Chen.
Long Chen didn't say anything and took the list. He found that there were more than twenty kinds of medicine that could nourish the soul. Even their medicinal properties and market prices were clearly recorded.
"Dream Lingzhi, Spirit Breeding Fruit … and even Soulgrass. There's even more …" Long Chen's heart was filled with shock.
The inner clan wasn't as luxurious and complicated as the outer clan. The layout of the Mystic Cloud Pavilion wasn't even comparable to the outer clan's Yi Treasure Pavilions. However, the items inside were at least ten times more than the ordinary Yi Treasure Pavilions.
This was a state of returning to one's natural state.
"Third Uncle, can I have two stalks of Soulgrass?" It was Long Chen's first time coming here, so he didn't dare to ask for too much.
"Two stalks of Soulgrass?"
Dongfang Xuanyun weighed his options and nodded. "Sure, but we need to register it. Long Chen, you should know that if every clansman came here to collect their items every day, the Mystic Cloud Pavilion would be empty. Hence, we need to register it to prevent such a situation."
"Then when can I come here again?"
Although he could get items for free, Long Chen knew that the Mystic Cloud Pavilion had a limited number of spiritual treasures. They couldn't allow people to collect them endlessly.
"Haha, forget it. You've just arrived at the Dongfang Clan, so you should call me Third Uncle. Just treat this Soulgrass as a greeting gift from me. It doesn't belong to the clan, so you'll have to deduct a portion of the Soulgrass from me." Dongfang Xuanyun patted Long Chen's shoulder.
"Thank you, Third Uncle."
Long Chen smiled. This Dongfang Xuanyun was truly a good person. No wonder he could be so close to Xuan Xiao.
"Wait a moment, I'll take out two stalks of Soulgrass for you now."
After speaking, Dongfang Xuanyun went out. Long Chen stood in the distance and waited. He was bored, so his gaze shifted to the list in his hand.
"This list is arranged in descending order of price. Let me see exactly what the final Soul-type Elixir is."
Long Chen did as he said, flipping to the last page. Focusing his eyes, he saw a name written on it: Azure Nethersoul Fruit.
"Azure Nethersoul Fruit?
High-grade mystic rank spiritual herb? Rumor has it that its medicinal effect is close to an earth-rank spiritual herb, and there's only one in the entire Lingwu Clan? "
This Azure Nethersoul Fruit was actually so terrifying. Long Chen immediately looked at its price, and his eyes widened in dismay.
"Ten million divine jades?" This number left Long Chen speechless.
He only managed to get over two million divine jades after killing Jin Shengen and Chu Yunxi, but this Azure Nethersoul Fruit was actually worth ten million divine jades?
"Ten million divine jades, when will I be able to afford this for Little Xi?" Even though Long Chen was bursting with confidence, he still felt helpless in front of this number.
"Long Chen!" Lingxi's agitated voice could be heard at this moment.
"What's wrong?"
Lingxi was sleeping and didn't expect to wake up at this moment. Furthermore, it seemed like she couldn't control herself anymore.
"I want this Azure Nethersoul Fruit, it's very important to me …" Lingxi opened her eyes wide and said pitifully.
"How important?"
Long Chen's face turned bitter. Lingxi was a typical little girl, and she would probably have to bleed a lot for something she wanted.
"With this Azure Nethersoul Fruit, I can live for another five years."
"Five years?"
Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. He seemed to be living a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, and his life could be lost at any time. If Ling Xi could have this Green Nether Soul Fruit, then even if he, Long Chen, died in the end, she could still live well.
When he thought up to here, Long Chen had made a decision in his heart.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Xuanyun had taken two soulherbs and passed them to Long Chen. He said, "Kid, go back and cultivate. There seems to be a competition for the Blue Dragon Halberd in a month, and I look forward to your performance."
Long Chen smiled, and then he passed the list to Dongfang Xuanyun and said, "Third Uncle, let me ask you a question."
"What?" Dongfang Xuanyun was stunned, and he looked at Long Chen with a puzzled expression.
"If I want to take this Azure Nethersoul Fruit, what sort of price do I have to pay!?" Long Chen spoke decisively.
Long Chen didn't speak another word after Lingxi said that she wanted the Azure Nethersoul Fruit. She felt perturbed in her heart because she thought that Long Chen wouldn't fight for it for her. Unexpectedly, Long Chen mentioned it to someone else. She instantly bit her pink lips while her eyes revealed a moved expression.
"Azure Nethersoul Fruit?"
This time, Dongfang Xuanyun couldn't maintain his composure. He stared at Long Chen for a while and said, "Even though I don't know why you want the Azure Nethersoul Fruit, it's too precious …."
"What do I have to do?" Long Chen interrupted him and asked with a firm gaze.
When he saw how firm Long Chen was, Dongfang Xuanyun knew that the Azure Nethersoul Fruit was definitely extremely important to Long Chen. So, he didn't waste his breath and said directly, "This thing still needs the approval of a few Xuan Elders in the clan. If they pass the approval, then it will be handed to you. However, I estimate that you won't be able to get anything from the clan for a year after you obtain this Azure Nethersoul Fruit."
It was worth it to exchange a year of his life for five years of Lingxi's.
"Third Uncle, I've decided to take this Azure Nethersoul Fruit. Can you help me register it and send it for approval?" Long Chen didn't hesitate and spoke his mind directly.
Within Lingxi's sword, Lingxi stared blankly at Long Chen.
"Will there be an outcome if he treats me so well?"
She wasn't able to answer this question.
She knew that even if she could recover in the end, she wouldn't belong to Long Chen.
