In the Fengming Empire, martial arts prevailed, and battles were inevitable, so outside the imperial capital, there was a platform of life and death, where personal grievances and grievances were settled.
Here, as long as both parties agree and sign the life and death contract, once they enter the ring, even if they kill each other, they will not be punished by the laws of the empire.
On weekdays, there are countless people watching the fun here, and there are also many today, but after each decisive battle, when the two young people came to power, there was a commotion below.
"Isn't that person Long Chen? Why is he here again?"
"Yeah, I was almost beaten to death yesterday, why are you here again today?"
"Hmph, I guess I don't want to live anymore, I want to be beaten to death here by others."
Long Tianxiao was honored as the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and was called a generation of military gods, but the people who really called him the military gods were the poor who suffered from war all year round.
In the imperial capital, these wealthy or expensive characters lived in a peaceful and prosperous world, and did not take Long Tianxiao, who was a commoner, in their eyes, so for Long Chen, few people in the entire imperial capital looked down on him.
"Long Chen, you rubbish, why are you here again? Isn't this a waste of time? Who wants to watch you compete, get out of here now"
"That is, if you want to commit suicide, find a place where no one is there. No one wants to see a waste. It's a waste of time."
For a time, hundreds of people watching the excitement couldn't help cursing loudly, obviously disgusting with Long Chen.
However, in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, two veiled girls were looking at the figure on the stage with all their attention.
"Sister, that's your fiancé? Why does he look so bad, there's no fluctuations all over his body," a girl said in disappointment.
"Hmph, it's not that Daddy made his own decisions. Back then, marrying me to him was really maddening," said another girl, extremely annoyed.
In the arena, Long Chen didn't know that there were two girls watching them, and he didn't react at all to those shouts, just looked at Li Hao lightly.
Li Hao pointed at the tumultuous crowd and sneered: "Did you see that, you are an unwelcome waste, and the one who knows you should be killed by yourself."
Long Chen just looked at him lightly and said nothing.
"when"
A bell rang, which was the signal for the start of the duel. As soon as the bell rang, life and death were on the line.
The originally noisy crowd fell silent because of the ringing of the bell. After all, it was a life-and-death battle, and someone might die at some point.
"Sister, your fiancé has no cultivation base at all. He is facing a guy from the third level of Qi Gathering, aren't you worried?" the woman asked.
"Hmph, what's there to worry about, I'll be pulled down when I die, what's up with me?" Another girl snorted softly, but as she spoke, a very strange silk screen was already in her palm.
"Hee hee, he said he didn't care, he even prepared weapons. It seems that you still care about him, but don't say, although his cultivation base is too useless, but he really doesn't look like a man. Otherwise, sister, you don't want him. , let me." The woman said with a smile.
"Nonsense, can this kind of thing be arbitrarily let go? If you like him, you can do whatever you want after I break up with him." Another woman said angrily.
"Whee"
In the ring, Long Chen was always calm as water, and he was just two people who gnashed his teeth yesterday.
"Long Chen, is it about to die, but calm down? Don't worry, I won't kill you today because of your bet." Li Hao said proudly.
"There's a lot of bullshit, hurry up, I have something to do in a while," Long Chen said impatiently.
Because the audience was very quiet, Long Chen's words were passed into everyone's ears without a word, and in an instant, a burst of ridicule erupted under the arena.
"Li Hao, what are you waiting for, hurry up and kill this bastard, it really disgusts us"
Someone knew Li Hao and shouted on the spot.
A sneer appeared on Li Hao's face, and he no longer hesitated. The strength belonging to the Qi Gathering Triple Heaven had all exploded. His feet were a little on the arena, and he had already rushed towards Long Chen and threw a punch.
As soon as Li Hao attacked, there was a burst of applause from the audience. Li Hao's posture was very beautiful and handsome.
"Good move, Linfeng Yushu Fist"
Some people recognized this move, but the two women in the distance both sighed secretly, and a sneer appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Long Chen also had a sneer at the corner of his mouth: Can such a flawed idiot trick be used against the enemy
Seeing a punch hitting his face, the wind whistled, but Long Chen didn't see it and didn't move.
"Haha, this waste, you can't even hide." Someone in the audience mocked.
However, just after he finished shouting, Li Hao's fist stopped three inches in front of Long Chen's face, motionless.
Those who were indulging in mockery suddenly lost their voices. They found that Long Chen's leg was stretched out, and the sole of his foot was kicked between Li Hao's legs.
Li Hao, who was originally full of spring breeze and without losing his natural color, now looks like a purple eggplant. Obviously, Long Chen's kick made him uncomfortable, and the severe pain made his face distorted and he couldn't move.
He couldn't move, Long Chen could move, and at the moment when he paused, Long Chen grabbed Li Hao's hair with both hands, forced him back, and knocked out his strong knees at the same time.
"bang bang bang"
Long Chen's movements are very pleasing to the eye, with clear paragraphs, movements and sounds, giving people a very strong visual impact and a bright sense of rhythm.
The sour bone cracking sound came. Li Hao suffered three consecutive blows. The bridge of his nose had collapsed and deformed, his face was covered in blood, and he had passed out of a coma.
For a time, the entire venue was silent, and no one would have thought that a powerhouse in the third level of Qi Gathering Realm would be defeated so quickly by a waste without a trace of cultivation.
And it was defeated in the cleanest and most neat way. This result was like a slap in the face, slapped on the face of the clamoring people.
Even the two girls who were secretly watching the battle from a distance had expressions of astonishment on their faces. That Li Hao, who was nothing in front of them, could wave his hands to kill.
But Long Chen is different. From the beginning to the end, he did not use a trace of spiritual energy. He completely defeated Li Hao with the mortal style of play.
"Dragon Dust Wins"
A voice came from under the stage, it was an old man who specially presided over the ring and was responsible for registration and announcement.
Long Chen's chest rose and fell sharply a few times. He used a lot of perseverance to suppress the killing intent in his heart. Now is not a good time to kill.
It's just that it has been suppressed for too long, and it burst out all at once, and it is difficult to take it back. From the outside world, it seems that Long Chen is an excited hand and foot, and he is gasping for breath.
Long Chen stepped off the stage, walked to the old man's side, took back his bet long knife, and got a crystal card with five thousand gold coins.
The rule here is that before the game, the bet must be handed over to the referee to show justice, which also eliminates the possibility of repentance.
After getting the treasure knife, Long Chen directly returned it to Shi Feng, and put the crystal card in his arms, feeling a little excited.
Although 5,000 gold coins are not many, it can solve some urgent needs. It has been a long time since the above has deducted the salary of the Long family, and now the Long family is really unable to open the pot.
Under the gazes of countless people, the two slowly left, and the two girls disappeared when they saw Long Chen leave.
The news of Long Chen's defeat of Li Hao, like long legs, spread all over the imperial capital at once, leaving countless people puzzled. How could a waste who can't practice martial arts suddenly become powerful
However, countless people witnessed it with their own eyes, and the news that Li Hao was carried back to the mansion came out, and many people couldn't accept it for a while.
After Long Chen and Shi Feng left, Long Chen wanted to share the spoils with Shi Feng, but Shi Feng refused to live or die. In the end, he went back first because he had something to do, and he didn't even ask why Long Chen suddenly became stronger.
Keeping this favor in his heart, Long Chen went straight to the Hundred Herbs Hall. After entering the Hundred Herbs Hall, Long Chen asked for a catalog of medicinal materials here.
The names and prices of various medicinal materials are clearly recorded on it. Long Chen saw most of the medicinal materials used for refining Fengfu Pill. Fortunately, the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Pill are not particularly rare.
However, seeing the price above, Long Chen's heart is dripping blood, and his gold coins are only enough to buy three materials.
But he can't buy all the materials, he also needs to buy an alchemy cauldron, and he also needs to buy some other spare medicinal materials. The gold coins in his hand are just a drop in the bucket.
But if you don't buy it, you can't. Long Chen gritted his teeth and spent 1,200 gold coins to buy a bronze cauldron with the worst quality.
I bought another batch of medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Pill, and at the same time bought a lot of medicinal materials for refining Huiqi San. When Long Chen came out of the Hundred Herbs Hall, his crystal card only had 500 gold coins.
After returning home, Long Chen went straight to his room, locked the door, and told Bao'er to inform everyone not to disturb him.
He knew that his mother would definitely know the news that he was going to the competition again. He was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he deliberately asked Bao'er to block his mother. Anyway, he had nothing to do, and his mother should not be too worried.
Now that every second counts, he must improve his strength as soon as possible. Now the predicament of the Long family is not as simple as it appears, and Long Chen smells a sense of crisis.
"call"
The spiritual energy in Long Chen's body is running, and a flame emerges in the palm of his hand. This is the pill fire condensed by the alchemist. However, seeing the flame, Long Chen can't help crying and laughing. This flame is too weak.
Pill fire is the fire of aura condensed by alchemists with their own aura and through a unique way of operation, but now the Pill fire condensed by Long Chen, the temperature is very low, not much stronger than ordinary ordinary fire.
Moreover, Long Chen found that without the support of Dantian, his pill fire could not last for a quarter of an hour, which was far from enough time to refine pills.
Long Chen smiled bitterly, but fortunately, he spared the backhand. Long Chen did not refine the medicinal herbs. He first put the medicinal materials of Huiqi San into the cauldron and refined them one by one, but he did not use the fire of the pill, but the fire of the wood. .
When all the medicinal materials were finished, there was a whole jar of gas-returning liquid beside Long Chen. After resting for a while, Long Chen took a deep breath:
It's time to officially start refining Fengfu Dan. (To be continued)
