After sending Aoxue here, Gan Lin left. To him, the Morning Light Business League's people looking for Long Chen belonged to Long Chen's freedom, so he couldn't interfere.
It was obvious that Aoxue was very unhappy about being sent here. She was even angrier when she saw Long Chen smiling at her.
"Manager Zhao said that the Morning Light Business League has a new Soul Bearing Fruit and asked if you need it."
Aoxue looked coldly at Long Chen as she spoke in a low voice.
She had been doing well in the Morning Light Business League, but she had been called here from afar to tell Long Chen this news. This was too much for her to accept.
She didn't understand why Manager Zhao had done so much just for Long Chen.
"Yes, of course I need it!"
Long Chen had been a prodigal since he was young. Now that he only had a little more than a hundred pieces of divine jade left, he didn't have any intention of keeping them.
"When I'm strong enough, I can have as many as I want. I might as well buy some spiritual medicine for my baby so that she can live longer."
With that thought in mind, Long Chen saw that Aoxue was glaring at him with hatred. He wasn't afraid of being burned, so he said arrogantly, "Miss Aoxue, please lead the way."
Before coming here, Manager Zhao had emphasized that she couldn't be rude to Long Chen. Aoxue didn't dare to offend Manager Zhao's orders, so even though Long Chen had gone overboard, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
"Brat, if I get the chance, I'll skin you alive!
I'll just get a few more Hearts of Steel!
Manager Zhao actually treats him like a treasure. I'll prove to you later that this Long Chen can't even compare to me! "
Aoxue thought hatefully in her heart. She didn't say anything and walked in front with a frighteningly gloomy face.
"This chick's looks aren't bad, but her face is too ugly, like a pile of cow dung. My Lingxi is still prettier …"
After Aoxue, Long Chen pointed at her in a low voice, which made Lingxi secretly happy and giggle.
If Aoxue heard Long Chen's words, she would definitely fight with Long Chen on the spot.
However, Aoxue's gloomy gaze made Long Chen a little wary.
"I don't know what Chief Steward Zhao is up to. If it was just the Spirit Carrier Fruit, he could have just asked Aoxue to bring it to me. But he went through so much trouble just to get me to his side?"
Following behind Aoxue, Long Chen admired her graceful figure and swaying footsteps while secretly thinking about how to deal with Chief Steward Zhao later.
It was currently afternoon, so there were fewer customers in the Morning Light Business League. When Long Chen arrived, Chief Steward Zhao had already warmly welcomed him. He gave Long Chen a hug and patted his shoulder. "Brother Long Chen, you're finally back!"
"One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions."
Inside Lingxi's sword, Lingxi curled her lips at Chief Steward Zhao's behavior.
Long Chen also warmly responded to Chief Steward Zhao. Only then did Chief Steward Zhao lead Long Chen into the VIP room where he received Long Chen last time. He invited Long Chen to sit down, then he asked Aoxue, whose face had turned pale, to pour a cup of tea for him. She looked at Long Chen with a smile on her face.
"I heard that you killed a warrior at the Initial Mortal Core realm in a small town?
You've reached the Mortal Core realm? "
At this moment, Aoxue was pouring a cup of tea. When she heard Chief Steward Zhao getting straight to the point and saying something like this, she was at a loss for words. That's why she accidentally spilled the tea out of her cup!
"I'm sorry, Chief Steward, I was too careless …"
Chief Steward Zhao didn't want to lose his temper in front of Long Chen, so he wanted to send her away. But right at this moment, Long Chen waved his hand and looked at Aoxue arrogantly, "Don't leave yet, you've dirtied this place, you should at least clean it up, right?"
"You!"
When Aoxue was about to go berserk, Chief Steward Zhao hastily said, "Aoxue, clean it up."
Hearing Chief Steward Zhao's calm voice, Aoxue didn't dare disobey. She just glared at Long Chen with a gloomy expression, then she gritted her teeth and started cleaning the place.
When Long Chen saw the sullen look on her face, he felt happy in his heart.
Last time when he came to the Morning Light Business League, this guy's arrogant attitude had really annoyed him. Now, he could finally let her taste the feeling of annoyance.
At this moment, Long Chen and Chief Steward Zhao finally started talking business.
"Chief Supervisor Zhao, it's true that I've broken through to the Divine Core realm. However, the rumor that I killed senior disciple Huang Feiyang, it's just a rumor that someone wanted to harm me. If I really killed senior disciple Huang, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you without any injuries."
Regarding the rumor of Long Chen killing Huang Feiyang, Chief Steward Zhao didn't think it was reliable. After all, Long Chen had just broken through to the Mortal Core realm.
However, even if he didn't kill Huang Feiyang, it wouldn't affect how much he valued Long Chen. Right at this moment, he took out a big wooden box. The wooden box was wrapped in red silk, and inside it were two Soul Bearing Fruits.
Looking at the two Soul Bearing Fruits, Lingxi's eyes lit up, but Long Chen had a bitter expression on his face.
"Brother Long Chen, these are the Soul Bearing Fruits you wanted."
The amount of Divine Jade in Long Chen's universe bag wasn't enough to buy two Soul Bearing Fruits. Therefore, he said with a regretful tone, "Chief Steward Zhao, I don't need two. With my current wealth, I can only buy one Soul Bearing Fruit."
Long Chen's poor appearance immediately made Aoxue, who was standing next to him, look at him with disdain. She had thought that Long Chen could really kill a warrior at the Mortal Core realm, and she was afraid of him. But she never thought that it was just a rumor.
"This little bastard, he has just broken through to the Mortal Core realm, what's there to be proud of? In a few days, I will also break through to the Mortal Core realm. At that time, let's see who is stronger, you or me!"
In Aoxue's mind, Chief Steward Zhao valued Long Chen so much, and this made her jealous.
Looking at the bitter expression on Long Chen's face, Chief Steward Zhao laughed out loud and said, "Didn't I say it last time?
We've met twice, and we can be considered friends. How about this, you buy one, and I'll give you the other one as a gift. What do you think? "
This Chief Steward Zhao was just admiring him, but he had really spent a lot of effort on this.
Long Chen knew that it was impossible for him to leave the Lingwu family right now, so he still didn't want to accept Chief Steward Zhao's gift.
Seeing that Long Chen was still hesitating, Chief Steward Zhao's eyes lit up. He stared at Long Chen and said, "How about this, brother, you do something for me, and I'll give you this Soul Bearing Fruit. We don't owe each other anything, what do you think?"
"I wonder what I can do for Chief Steward Zhao?"
When Zhao Tianfang said this, his expression became serious. Therefore, Long Chen guessed that this was the main reason why he asked Long Chen to come here today. If not, he wouldn't have asked Aoxue to welcome Long Chen from afar.
Zhao Tianfang smiled faintly and asked Aoxue to leave. Then, he took out his Heaven-Earth Pouch and took out a crystal the size of a baby's fist.
Long Chen took a closer look and realized that this crystal was blue and rhombus-shaped. The top and bottom sections were extremely sharp, and there were traces of lightning flashing on this crystal-like blue crystal. At the same time, there were traces of blue flames emitting from this crystal.
"Thunder Flame Crystal?"
From within Lingxi's sword, Lingxi's surprised voice sounded.
Right now, Long Chen was too close to Chief Steward Zhao, so after Lingxi shouted "Thunder Flame Crystal", she didn't dare to say anything else. However, Long Chen knew that this crystal called Thunder Flame Crystal should be something good.
"Do you know what this is?"
Chief Steward Zhao asked solemnly.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"This item is called... Thunder Flame Crystal."
Spinning the Thunder Flame Crystal in his palm, Chief Steward Zhao stared at it without blinking. There was some excitement in his voice as he said, "This Thunder Flame Crystal is a miraculous treasure of the world. It does not have any rank, and as long as one successfully fuses it into one's body, one's body will possess the power of thunder and fire. This power is extremely effective when used to refine one's body. As long as one fuses more than ten Thunder Flame Crystals, one will be able to form the Thunder Flame Battle Body!"
Long Chen looked at the Thunder Flame Crystal in shock and said in astonishment, "Just fusing it, and one does not need to train?"
Didn't this mean that it was even more convenient than the Yuan Gui that Long Chen had just obtained?
One must know that the Yuan Gui was a life battle skill that had taken Long Chen an entire day and night to refine.
"Of course, it is not only that..." Chief Steward Zhao shook his head and said, "The number of Thunder Flame Crystals one can fuse with depends on one's talent and physique. As long as one is able to fuse more than ten, one will be able to form the Thunder Flame Battle Body. With a raise of one's hand, one will be able to obtain the power of thunder and fire. This is when one is called a Thunder Flame martial artist!"
Thunder Flame martial artist?
That sounded pretty good.
Only now did Long Chen realize that the world he knew was still a little too small.
The Yuan Gui Fruit that he had just obtained, as well as the Thunder Flame Crystal that he had just obtained, were both amazing and mystical items.
However, Zhao Tianfang had just said that he wanted him to do something, yet he had taken out the Thunder Flame Crystal now. What was the purpose of this?
As he thought of this, Long Chen asked doubtfully, "Chief Steward Zhao, what does this Thunder Flame Crystal have to do with me?"
Returning to the main topic, Chief Steward Zhao smiled faintly and carefully sized up Long Chen. He said, "Honestly speaking, I think very highly of you. What I want you to do for me is to let you try and see how many Thunder Flame Crystals you, Long Chen, can fuse with with your talent!"
Long Chen felt as if he had been smashed by a pie from the heavens, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Chief Steward Zhao had originally said that he wanted Long Chen to do something, and Long Chen had thought that it would be very difficult to do. Who would have thought that it would be such a good thing?
Chief Steward Zhao only wanted to rope Long Chen into the Morning Light Business League, but he had repeatedly given Long Chen such great benefits. Long Chen was hesitating. If he accepted these benefits, what kind of fetters would there be? Seeing his hesitation, Chief Steward Zhao said seriously, "Long Chen, don't think that this Thunder Flame Crystal is easy to fuse with. This Thunder Flame Crystal has a violent energy, and if you cannot withstand it, your body will explode and die. I want you to try this Thunder Flame Crystal. If your body is not good enough, and you cannot even fuse with one Thunder Flame Crystal, then there is a high possibility that you will die. Therefore, it is not easy for you to obtain those two Spirit Nourishing Fruits. Therefore, you should think about it carefully …"
Just as Long Chen was hesitating, Lingxi suddenly said, "Quickly agree to him."
Lingxi was experienced and knowledgeable, and she was very clear about Long Chen's situation. Therefore, when Lingxi said this, Long Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. He nodded vigorously and said, "Riches are found in danger. Since Chief Steward Zhao thinks highly of me, no matter what, I must try this Thunder Flame Crystal today!"
