Chapter 3 The first edge
In the Fengming Empire, martial arts style was prevalent and fighting was inevitable. Therefore, outside the imperial capital, there is a life and death platform, which is a place to resolve personal grudges.
Here, as long as both parties agree and sign the life and death contract, once they are on the ring, even if they kill the other party, they will not be punished by imperial laws.
On weekdays, there are countless people watching the fun here, and there are also many today. However, the decisive battles ended one after another. When the two young people came to power, there was a commotion below.
"Isn't that person Long Chen? Why is he here again?"
"Yes, 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 by someone else here."
Long Tianxiao is the Zhenyuan Hou and is known as the war god, but the people who really call him the war god are all those poor people who have been poisoned by war all year round.
In the imperial capital, these people who are either rich or noble live in a peaceful and prosperous era, and do not take Long Tianxiao, who is a civilian, in their eyes, so few people in the entire imperial capital look down on him.
"Long Chen, why are you a waste, coming again? Isn't this a waste of time? Who would like to watch you compete? Get out of here quickly?"
"That's right, if you want to commit suicide, you can find a place where no one wants to see a waste. It's too time-consuming."
For a moment, hundreds of people watching the fun in the audience couldn't help but curse loudly, obviously very disgusted with Long Chen.
However, in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, two girls with veils were staring at the figure on the stage with all their attention.
"Sister, that's your fiancé? Why do you look bad? There's no fluctuations all over your body?" A girl said in disappointment.
"Hmph, it's not that my father's own decision. He married me to him back then, which was so annoying." Another girl said in great anger.
On the ring, Long Chen had no idea that there were two girls peeking at them, and he had no reaction to the scolding, but just looked at Li Hao lightly.
Li Hao pointed to the turbulent crowd and sneered: "Did you see it? You are just an unwelcome waste. If you know the truth, just hit and die by yourself."
Long Chen just looked at him lightly and said nothing.
"when"
A bell rang, which was the signal of the duel. When the bell rang, life and death were at the forefront.
The originally noisy crowd fell silent because of the bell. After all, it was a life-and-death battle, and maybe someone would die at any time.
"Sister, your fiancé has no cultivation 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? If you die, you will fall back and do whatever you do?" Another girl snorted softly, but as she spoke, a very strange silk screen had already appeared in her palm.
"Hehe, I said I don't care. I even prepared weapons. It seems that you still care about him. But let alone, although his cultivation is too useless, he looks really useless. Otherwise, sister, please don't want him, let me give it to me." The woman said with a smile.
"Nothing nonsense, can you let this kind of thing be given up? If you like him, you can wait until I break off the engagement with him and you will do whatever you want," another woman said angrily.
"whee"
Long Chen was always calm on the ring, and he was just two people with the one who gritted his teeth yesterday.
"Long Chen, have you calmed down when he is about to die? Don't worry, because of your bet, I won't beat you to death today." Li Hao said with a proud look on his face.
"I'm talking so much nonsense, hurry up and do it. I'll have something to do later," Long Chen said impatiently.
Because the whole audience was quiet, Long Chen's words came into everyone's ears without saying a word, and in an instant, a burst of ridicule broke out from the entire arena.
"Li Hao, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and beat this bastard to death. It's really disgusting for us."
Someone knew Li Hao and shouted on the spot.
A sneer appeared on Li Hao's face, no longer hesitated, all the strength of the third level of Qi gathering exploded, and a little bit on the ring, the man had already rushed towards Long Chen and punched him.
As soon as Li Hao attacked, there was a burst of cheers from the audience. Li Hao's posture was very beautiful and handsome.
"Good move, Linfeng Yushu Fist"
Someone recognized this move, but the two women in the distance all spat secretly, and a sarcasm appeared on the corner of their mouths.
A sarcasm appeared on Long Chen's mouth: Can such idiotic tricks with all kinds of loopholes be used to fight the enemy?
Seeing a punch hitting his face, the strong wind whistled, but Long Chen saw that he had not seen it and did not move.
"Haha, this trash can't even hide," someone from the audience mocked him.
However, just after he finished calling out his mockery, Li Hao's fist had stopped three inches in front of Long Chen's face and stopped moving.
Those who were originally mocking each other suddenly lost their voices. They found that one of Long Chen's legs was stretched out and the soles of his feet kicked Li Hao's legs hard.
Li Hao, who was originally full of spring breeze and still had a graceful true nature, had his face as purple eggplant at this time. Obviously, Long Chen's kick made him not very comfortable. The severe pain made his face distorted and he couldn't move.
He couldn't move, Long Chen could move. At the moment he paused, Long Chen grabbed Li Hao's hair with both hands and pushed back with force, while his firm knees were knocked out.
"Bang bang bang"
Long Chen's movements are very pleasing to the eye, with clear passages, and the movements and sounds giving people a very strong visual impact and a bright sense of rhythm.
The sound of bone cracks that made people sore teeth came. Li Hao was hit three times in a row. The bones on the bridge of his nose had collapsed and deformed, his face was covered in blood, and he had already fallen into a coma.
For a moment, the entire venue was silent. No one expected that a strong man from the third level of Qi Gathering Realm would be defeated so quickly by a waste without a trace of cultivation.
And he defeated it in the cleanest and most neat way. The result was like a slap in the face, slapping the face of the group of clamoring people.
Even the two girls watching the game secretly in the distance were shocked. Li Hao was nothing in front of them, but could wave to kill him.
But Long Chen is different. He didn't use a trace of spiritual energy from beginning to end. He completely defeated Li Hao with his mortal fighting style.
"Long Chen Sheng"
A voice came from the audience. It was an old man who was specialized in the ring and was responsible for registration and announcement.
Long Chen's chest fluctuated sharply for a few times. He used great perseverance to suppress the murderous intent in his heart. Now is not a good time to kill.
But he was suppressed for too long and suddenly exploded and it was difficult to take it back. In the eyes of the outside world, he thought Long Chen was excited to take off his hands and feet and gasped wildly.
Long Chen walked off the stage, walked to the old man, took back his bet long knife, and obtained a crystal card of five thousand gold coins.
The rule here is that before the game, the bets must be handed over to the referee to show justice, which also eliminates the possibility of remorse.
After getting the treasure sword, Long Chen directly returned it to Shi Feng and put the crystal card in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Although there are not many five thousand gold coins, it can solve some urgent problems. The above have deducted the salary of the Long family for a long time. Now the Long family is really not able to make a fuss.
As countless people watched, the two slowly left, and the two girls disappeared as they saw Long Chen leaving.
The news that Long Chen defeated Li Hao was spread throughout the entire imperial capital as if he had grown legs, making countless people puzzled. How could a waste who could not practice martial arts become powerful all of a sudden?
However, countless people witnessed it with their own eyes, and the news that Li Hao was carried back to the mansion came out, which many people were a little unacceptable 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 do so. Finally, he went back first with the excuse that he had something to do, and didn't even ask why Long Chen suddenly became stronger.
Keeping this favor in my heart, Long Chen headed straight to Baicaotang. After entering Baicaotang, Long Chen asked for a catalog of medicinal materials here.
The names and prices of various medicinal materials are clearly recorded above. Long Chen saw most of the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan on it. Fortunately, the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan are not particularly rare.
However, seeing the above price, Long Chen was bleeding in his heart. His gold coins were only enough to buy three pieces of materials.
But he couldn't buy all the materials, he also needed to buy a elixir furnace, and even more needed to buy some other spare medicinal materials. The little gold coins in his hand were just a drop in the bucket.
But it wouldn't work if you don't buy it. Long Chen gritted his teeth and spent 1,200 gold coins to buy the bronze cauldron with the worst quality.
He bought another medicinal material to refine Fengfu Dan, and at the same time he bought a large amount of medicinal material to refine Huiqi San. When Long Chen came out of Baicaotang, there were only five hundred gold coins on his crystal card.
After returning home, Long Chen went straight to his room and locked the door, asking Baoer to notify everyone not to disturb him.
He knew that his mother would definitely know that he was going to compete again. He was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he deliberately asked Baoer to block his mother. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so his mother should not be too worried.
Now he is fighting every second and must improve his strength quickly. The current predicament of the Long family is not as simple as his appearance, and Long Chen smells the sense of crisis.
"call"
The spiritual energy in Long Chen's body was circulating, and a ball of fire appeared in the palm of his hand. This was the elixir condensed by the alchemist. However, seeing the flame made Long Chen laugh and cry. This ball of flame was too weak.
Danhuo is the spiritual fire condensed by the alchemist through his own spiritual energy through a unique operation mode. However, the temperature of the alchemist condensed by Long Chen is very low and is not much stronger than ordinary ordinary fire.
Moreover, Long Chen discovered that without the support of his dantian, his dan fire lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, which was far from enough time to refine the elixir.
Long Chen smiled bitterly, but fortunately he had a backup plan. Long Chen did not refine the pills, so he first put the medicinal materials of the return Qisan into the cauldron and refined them one by one. However, he did not use the pill fire, but the wood fire.
After all the medicinal materials were refined, a whole jar of return liquid appeared beside Long Chen. After a brief rest, Long Chen took a deep breath:
It’s time to officially start refining Fengfu Pills.
Chapter completed!
