The distance from Baiyang Town to Yuan Ling City, according to the speed of the black scaled dragon horse, would take Long Chen about ten days.
He brought enough resources and spent half of the time on the road. Therefore, he didn't enter any towns along the way.
Eight days later, a huge city appeared in front of him. The city walls were tall and heavily guarded. Long Chen originally thought he had arrived at Yuan Ling City, but when he got closer, it was only Yuan Yang City, one of the ten guard cities around Yuan Ling City.
Walking on the streets of Yuan Yang City, looking at the dazzling array of goods, as well as the cultivators with deep eyes and great temperament, they were obviously of very high cultivation.
"This Yuan Yang City is a hundred times better than Baiyang Town in terms of resources and military power, but it is only a small guard city of Yuan Ling City."
Thinking of this, Long Chen exclaimed.
Ling Xi said angrily when she saw Chen Xi's disappointing appearance, "Bumpkin, you've never seen the world. Once you see the cities of the Imperial Region, you'll know what true greatness is!"
"What is Emperor Domain?"
"I am not telling you!"
"… …"
In front of him was a flourishing restaurant. Its specifications were several times better than the most famous restaurant in Baiyang Town, the Rising Sun Restaurant. Long Chen looked at the beautiful building that rose from the ground and clicked his tongue in wonder as he walked into the restaurant.
"It's really embarrassing to walk with him," Ling Xi thought to herself.
What she didn't expect was that in the eyes of outsiders, only Long Chen walked into this restaurant. As for her, Lingxi, she was just a soul in an ear stud.
Soon, a manservant came over. This manservant's eyes were very sharp. With one look at Long Chen's clothes, he knew he was a rich young master from a small town.
Although he was a rich young master, he was not in the upper class in Yuan Yang City. He didn't even bring a servant, which made him seem even more lowly. Therefore, the manservant's hunched back immediately straightened and his tone became firmer.
"Customer, are you here for a meal or to stay?"
In Baiyang Town, ordinary restaurants would greet Master Chen with smiles. This was the first time this manservant behaved like this.
However, Long Chen knew that his current identity was not very prominent. Keeping a low profile was the way of the king. Therefore, he did not bother with these people and directly said, "Take my horse to feed. Make sure to feed it with the best horse feed!
Then bring me some dishes. It is late now, I want to stay. "
When the manservant saw Long Chen's Black Scaled Dragon Horse, he was shocked. He thought to himself, "This bumpkin from a small place can actually tame such a fierce horse. It seems that his cultivation is not bad. I have to be cautious in this restaurant. I can't fail miserably. It's better to serve him well!"
Thinking of this, he quickly put on a flattering smile and ordered the coachman to take Long Chen's black dragon horse to feed. Then, he led Long Chen to a window seat on the second floor of the restaurant.
Long Chen looked out of the window and saw that the coachman had already tied the black dragon horse and was ready to feed it.
This was a gift from his sister, Yang Lingqing.
Whenever he saw this beast,
Long Chen was elated. At this moment, he gave the manservant a series of instructions. In general, he told him to take good care of the Black Scaled Dragon Horse.
"Customer, don't worry. Our coachmen are all warriors with extraordinary cultivation. They also have many years of experience in raising demonic horses. Tomorrow, you will see that this black dragon horse is much stronger!"
The manservant left and soon, the dishes were served. When the table was filled with all the delicacies in Yuan Yang City, Long Chen didn't let the manservant leave.
"What business do you have with me?"
As Long Chen ate, he asked faintly, "Are you familiar with Yuan Yang City?
Do you know where there are medicines for nurturing the soul nearby? "
The manservant stilled and said, "I grew up in Yuan Yang City, but I don't know much about spiritual medicines for nurturing the soul. Customer, you are asking the wrong person."
Long Chen frowned.
In Lingxi's sword, seeing this guy worrying about her again, Lingxi felt sweet.
"Then where do you think I can find this medicine?"
The manservant thought and said, "Yuan Yang City doesn't have any big stores for spiritual medicines, but I know the Morning Light Business League in Yuan Ling City. You can get anything you want there. Cultivation methods, spiritual medicines, weapons, and all kinds of mysterious things. As long as you have money, you can buy them. I think you can get as much as you want there, of course …"
The manservant sized up Long Chen and emphasized, "The most important thing is still money. If you want to buy something in the Morning Light Business League, you can't buy anything without dozens of divine jades …"
Looking at him, he definitely thought that Long Chen didn't have much money in a small place like this.
"Morning Light Business League?"
Long Chen was too lazy to care about this snob and told him to leave.
"Since I'm going to Yuan Ling City, I'll set my goal on this Morning Light Business League. But I only have one divine jade now. Grandpa did give me some spirit jades, but this amount of money is not enough …"
Lingxi said in a rare gentle voice, "Hey, what's the rush, don't you still have about two months?
I, Lingxi, survived in that kind of situation, and I still have you now. "
Long Chen chuckled and said, "Little Xi, you're saying such ambiguous words to me, do you have designs on laozi?
Honestly speaking, are you already head over heels in love with your father's handsome appearance? Are you looking for an opportunity to devote your life to me? "
"Bullshit!
This lady doesn't like an ugly monster like you, disgusting! "
Just as Long Chen and Lingxi were happily chatting, a group of people stopped in front of the restaurant on the street outside.
The leader was a majestic young man dressed in a luxurious yellow brocade robe and black high boots.
This young man was only about twenty years old, but his expression was cold and his eyes were as sharp as lightning. His every movement exuded the aura of a true upper-class family disciple.
The manservant who had just served Long Chen immediately bowed and greeted this noble young master with a fawning expression. The luxuriously dressed young master's expression was very rude, but the manservant's face was still full of fawning.
"That manservant, send our horses to be fed. Make sure to use the best grooms and the best horse feed. Also, prepare the best dishes for my young master. If you serve him well, you will be rewarded!"
Next to the luxuriously dressed young master was a steward with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. Only then did he lead the luxuriously dressed young master into the restaurant. But at this time, the luxuriously dressed young master's eyes lit up and he lightly said: "Manservant, take me to your stable."
The manservant was startled. Although he didn't know what the luxuriously dressed young master wanted to do, but looking at the young master's attitude, he had no reason to refuse even though it was a bit unruly. He quickly said: "Yes, yes, this lowly one will take the young master to the stable right now!"
The group quickly arrived at the restaurant's stable, which wasn't far from Long Chen's window.
The luxuriously dressed young master took a glance and took a fancy to a tall and majestic black horse in the stable. This horse had scales on its body, and it was clearly Long Chen's Blackscale Dragonhorse.
Seeing this Blackscale Dragonhorse, the luxuriously dressed young master's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is really a case of wearing out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find it by chance without even looking for it. God is really kind to me, Huang Xiang. Old Liu, do you think this is the extremely rare fifth-grade Yellow Rank Demonic Beast — Blackscale Dragonhorse?"
The steward Old Liu also sized up the Blackscale Dragonhorse for a while, and he clicked his tongue in wonder and said: "Sure enough, this horse is extraordinarily majestic, the color of its fur is pure, and the scales are orderly. It really is the best among the Blackscale Dragonhorses. Congratulations Young Master, congratulations Young Master, you actually obtained such a fine horse in Yuan Yang City!"
The other servants also praised one after another.
Huang Xiang was also very happy in his heart. He walked forward and was about to tame this fierce horse.
At this time, being surrounded by so many people, the Blackscale Dragonhorse was quite displeased in its heart. Its pair of eyes swept across the crowd coldly, and its eyes gradually turned blood red.
"Little horse, it is fate that you and I met. As long as you listen to this Grandpa Huang, this Grandpa Huang will give you good food and drinks!"
With a face full of excitement, Huang Xiang gradually approached the Blackscale Dragonhorse.
The servant beside him felt extremely conflicted.
He knew that the owner of the horse was Long Chen, but it was obvious that this Young Master Huang Xiang's background was much higher than Long Chen's, and Huang Xiang was the one who should not be offended, thus the servant quickly made a decision in his heart.
He ran up to Young Master Huang Xiang and said in a flattering tone: "Young Master, it seems like you like this horse very much, but this horse belongs to one of our customers. Should I persuade him to give it to you?"
Huang Xiang was startled, and his face was filled with displeasure as he said: "So this fine horse already has an owner?
Ordinary people will only tarnish this fine horse, but my father advised me to be more reserved when I'm away from home. Old Liu, take out two pieces of Godly Jade and give them to that person. "
Hearing two pieces of Godly Jade, the servant's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that this Young Master Huang was indeed from a profound family, casually taking out two pieces of Godly Jade …
Old Liu quickly responded and was about to leave with the servant, but Long Chen had already jumped down from the window. This Young Master Huang Xiang valued his Blackscale Dragonhorse, Long Chen clearly saw it from inside the restaurant.
"This Huang Xiang, although he is only a little younger than me, I feel like his cultivation is stronger than Grandfather's …"
Although he was shocked, Long Chen was not afraid.
He had always lived in a small place like Baiyang Town, so he had not seen the big world. Now that he saw Huang Xiang, he understood the principle that there was always someone better out there.
Seeing Long Chen's arrival, the servant quickly came up to greet him, using his eyes to signal to Long Chen while flattering him: "Dear customer, our Young Master Huang wants to use two pieces of Godly Jade to buy your horse. You should know that this Blackscale Dragonhorse is only a Fifth Grade Demonic Beast, it's not even worth half a piece of Godly Jade, but our Young Master Huang …"
The way this servant spoke, it was as if Long Chen had taken advantage of the heavens.
As for that Young Master Huang, he was still looking at the Blackscale Dragonhorse in amazement, not even glancing at Long Chen. On the other hand, the housekeeper Old Liu glanced at Long Chen, then immediately expressionlessly took out two pieces of Godly Jade from his Cosmos Sack and casually threw them at Long Chen.
After that, he added: "Take the Godly Jade and leave quickly. If our Young Master remembers that such a good horse was ridden by a brat like you, he might even break your leg."
After saying that, he did not look at Long Chen again.
With two clangs, two pieces of pure white Godly Jade fell to the ground, but Long Chen did not make a move to catch the Godly Jade.
The servant was stunned, then immediately reacted. With a slight hint of blame, he muttered to himself: "As expected, he's not worth much, he can't even catch two pieces of Godly Jade."
When the housekeeper Old Liu heard the sound of the Godly Jade falling to the ground, he turned around and carefully looked at Long Chen. When he saw the latter's mocking gaze, he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
"Those who don't know what's good for them usually end up in a miserable state … Brat, you actually don't understand such a simple principle?"
