As soon as Long Chen returned, Yin Mengyao came out to welcome him. It had been a long time since they last met, and Yin Mengyao seemed to have improved.
Her personality had always been rather cold, but she was much gentler when it came to Long Chen and Dongfang Xuanxiao.
After Dongfang Xuanxiao left, Yin Mengyao asked eagerly, "Long Chen, how was it? Did you get any news?"
Long Chen told Yin Mengyao everything he had learned in the Star Demon Prison.
Yin Mengyao frowned slightly when she heard that. Her face was as cold as ice as she said, "That's why we must obtain the Blue Dragon Halberd to have a chance."
"Yes, there are still a dozen or so days before the battle for the Blue Dragon Halberd begins. This time, I will do my best," said Long Chen.
Seeing Long Chen's resolute gaze, Yin Mengyao also said, "This time, I will work hard with you. I have been fighting with the wooden puppets in the Martial Practice Hall these past few days, and then I practiced the Flowing Water Sage Body. I have already made some progress."
"The Martial Practice Hall and the wooden puppets." Long Chen had never heard of these two things.
"The Martial Arts Hall is in the Profound Rain Pavilion. Most of the younger generation disciples train there. It was foster father who brought me there. There's a region in the Martial Arts Hall with a total of ninety-nine wooden puppets. As soon as we enter that region, all of the wooden puppets will swarm us." Yin Mengyao also felt that the wooden puppets were miraculous.
"How does the wooden puppets compare to the steel puppets?" From the name, the steel puppets seemed to be a bit stronger.
"You participated in the Outer Tribe Selection, so you must have thought that the steel puppets are stronger, but that's not the case."
Yin Mengyao shook her head and continued, "The steel puppets are rigid and rigid, but the wooden puppets are more agile. Moreover, the wooden puppets are made of high-quality wood, which is even tougher than steel. They can even use simple combat skills. A formation made of ninety-nine wooden puppets isn't easy to deal with either."
Long Chen finally understood. It seemed that the Lingwu Inner Tribe had put in a lot of effort to nurture the next generation.
After chatting with Yin Mengyao for a while longer, she started today's cultivation mission. Lingxi had already urged her many times through the Lingxi Sword. Now that she had the Azure Nethersoul Fruit, she wanted to immediately refine it, but Yin Mengyao was still there.
When Long Chen returned to his residence, Lingxi's small figure had already flown out from the Lingxi Sword. She was extremely excited, and her fair face had bloomed into a peach blossom, making her look a bit charming.
"Long Chen, give me the Azure Nethersoul Fruit," she said. As Chen saw Chen, she as he as she could.
"Long Chen Chen, Chen, Long as as as I, I, Chen, Long Chen, Xi," Mas.
"Big Brother Chen, Big Brother Chen." Ling Xi suddenly had an idea. In front of delicious food, there was no way she would make things difficult for herself.
"That's a good boy."
When he saw the little girl looking at him with a fawning expression, Long Chen took out the Azure Nethersoul Fruit as he said, "On account that I've given up a year's worth of rewards for you, you can call me that in the future. It sounds great."
Lingxi was so touched by the Green Nether Soul Fruit that she felt a little apologetic. She nodded her head like a chick pecking at grains and sweetly called out to Chen a few times.
Long Chen felt a tingling sensation in his heart.
"Little Xi, you're really scary when you're gentle." Long Chen curled his lips.
"You, humph."
After receiving the green jade box from Long Chen, Lingxi couldn't be bothered to fuss about it with him. However, when she recalled how Long Chen didn't hesitate to use a year's worth of rewards to exchange for this for her, Long Chen's status in her heart rose to a very high level.
He calls me Little Xi, yet I still call him Long Chen. It seems very distant. He's indeed older than me and treats me so well. I'll just call him Chen in the future. I won't suffer any losses.
Lingxi thought in her heart.
This residence also had a basement for Long Chen to cultivate in. Long Chen brought Lingxi to the basement and closed the door before he said, "Little Xi, start refining it now. I'll stand guard for you."
"Alright."
Lingxi nodded obediently. Her tiny body dragged the huge jade box and placed it on the ground. She then opened the jade box with a face full of anticipation.
In an instant, a soul-stirring sensation surged toward Long Chen. Long Chen merely took a breath and his consciousness instantly cleared up.
"It seems like this Green Nethersoul Fruit is very useful for cultivation. No wonder it's worth ten million God Jades. If I were to sell it …"
Nestled in the jade box was a translucent green fruit. The shape of the fruit was similar to that of an apple. Its body was glowing brightly, and its translucent body was filled with countless translucent veins. A green liquid that looked like blood was flowing within the Green Nethersoul Fruit.
"It's really the Green Nethersoul Fruit …" Lingxi couldn't remain calm after seeing the fruit. Even her voice trembled as she spoke.
"Little Xi, hurry up and refine it. A long night is fraught with trouble." Long Chen reminded her as he looked at the Green Nethersoul Fruit.
Ling Xi nodded. She looked at Long Chen with eyes filled with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Chen." After that, she executed a secret technique and started to refine the Azure Nethersoul Fruit.
The Green Nethersoul Fruit was quickly enveloped by her soul force.
Bored, Long Chen started to ponder the last two flashes of the True Dragon Nine Flashes. As long as he could master the last bit, his True Dragon Nine Flashes would reach greater mastery and reach Dongfang Xuanxiao's level.
As time passed, Long Chen could feel that Lingxi's strength was slowly increasing. This strength should be the life force of her soul.
The Soul Grass was a mid-grade Mystic Spiritual Medicine. Although the Green Nethersoul Fruit was a high-grade Mystic Spiritual Medicine, it was close to an Earth Spiritual Medicine.
How could a spiritual medicine worth ten million Divine Jades be simple?
Therefore, Long Chen estimated that after refining the Green Nethersoul Fruit, he wouldn't have to worry about Lingxi's life for a long time. At the same time, Lingxi could also provide some help to Long Chen when her life was in danger.
In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. It was already dusk. Long Chen had already stopped cultivating and was sitting to the side, guarding Lingxi. At this moment, Lingxi was completely enveloped by a white mist, and her appearance couldn't be seen clearly.
At this time, the white mist started to dissipate, and Lingxi's appearance was revealed. At this moment, her eyes were still closed. However, Long Chen discovered that she seemed to be a little different.
Ling Xi's skin was completely no different from warm and smooth white jade. This was not her true physical body, but the power of her Spiritual Soul, which was even more condensed. However, the degree of condensation did not seem to be much different from a real body.
"This little girl seems to have become even more beautiful."
Long Chen was a little envious as he watched. Such a beautiful little beauty had actually been destroyed by that lousy sword. It was really a sin.
At this time, Lingxi opened her eyes. Instantly, a divine light that made even the soul palpitate shot out from Lingxi's eyes, giving Long Chen a fright.
Lingxi had just woken up, and saw that Long Chen had been frightened by her. Instantly, she giggled, and said, "Chen, you're really timid."
"Who said so?" Long Chen's expression was stern. He sized up Lingxi, and asked, "How are you feeling now?"
"I've already completely absorbed the medicinal effects of the Green Nethersoul Fruit. If I don't fight, I can at least survive for more than five years outside. If I fight, I estimate that I can take on a battle technique from a first level Heavenly River Tier cultivator." Lingxi stretched lazily. Although her figure was small, she already had beautiful curves.
"First level of the Heavenly River Tier."
Long Chen wasn't very familiar with the Heavenly River Tier. He only knew that above the Divine Core Tier was the Heavenly River Tier, and in the entire Yuan Ling City, there weren't many cultivators who had surpassed the Divine Core Tier.
In the Lingwu family, it was rumored that the four patriarchs were Heavenly River Tier experts. As for the Beast Soul Palace and Kingdom of Dawn, Long Chen had no idea. However, at the very least, the Beast Soul Palace's Emperor Yuan should be an expert of the Heavenly River Tier.
"There are a total of 18 Heavenly Rivers in the starry sky of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, and each Heavenly River is formed by countless stars. Of the 18 Heavenly Rivers, nine appear during the day, and nine appear during the night. Every Yang River corresponds to a Yin River. Heavenly River Tier warriors absorb the power of the Heavenly River Stars and open up a starry sky within their bodies, forming 18 Heavenly Rivers within their bodies. Among them, every Yin River and Yang River will fuse together, and the two rivers will run side by side, forming the first level of the Heavenly River Tier. There are a total of nine levels in the Heavenly River Tier.
Knowing that Long Chen wasn't familiar with the Heavenly River Tier, Lingxi explained to Long Chen.
"Heavenly River Stars … Power of Stars … Yin Yang Galaxy … There are a total of nine levels in the Heavenly River Tier? Little Xi, what level of the Heavenly River Tier do you think those four old farts from the Lingwu family are?"
Long Chen was a little shocked by this information. He had just entered the Earth Core Tier, and was still very far away from these things.
"There aren't many experts in Yuan Ling City. They're probably only at the first level of the Heavenly River Tier." Lingxi said indifferently.
"…" Long Chen was speechless.
Those four patriarchs were existences that Long Chen couldn't touch right now, but Lingxi actually said that there weren't any experts.
"Don't be discouraged, Chen. Little Xi believes that you'll surpass them very soon." Lingxi clenched her small fist and encouraged Long Chen.
"En. Oh right, you said that those experts at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, where will they be?" Long Chen asked.
"Yuan Ling City is a county of Cangyang Country. The experts of Cangyang Country are concentrated in the Cangyang Imperial City, so there should be such experts in the imperial city. The center of a country must be much bigger than Yuan Ling City."
"The imperial city."
Long Chen had heard of this before. This huge Yuan Ling City was a county that belonged to the imperial city. The current mayor's office of Yuan Ling City was only a branch of the imperial city, just like the Yang Family of Baiyang Town, which was a branch of the Lingwu family.
"The imperial city is not a place you should think about now. Chen, you should think of a way to get that Blue Dragon Halberd." Lingxi said.
Long Chen nodded. The Green Nether Soul Fruit had been successfully absorbed. The two of them left the basement. At this time, Long Chen saw that Yin Mengyao hadn't returned.
"Mengyao Sis said that she would usually return at dusk. Now that night has fallen, could it be that something happened to her?"
Thinking of this, Long Chen frowned and walked towards the Xuanyu Pavilion.
