The medicinal liquid melted into his belly, and Long Chen hurriedly used his thoughts to guide it, spread the medicinal liquid, and blended it into his limbs and bones.
Normally when a warrior absorbs medicine, he or she blends it into the Dantian and then distributes it to all parts of the body. However, Long Chen has no spiritual roots, and the Dantian is empty and unable to store energy.
The power of the medicine can only be dispersed in every cell. Although these medicines are ordinary herbal medicines, after Long Chen's combination, they exerted extremely powerful medicinal effects.
As the power of the medicine pours into the body, countless pores slowly open, and every cell, like a person who is about to suffocate, crazily absorbs the aura of the world.
"boom"
There was a muffled sound in Long Chen's body, and the originally closed meridians were instantly opened, and Long Chen couldn't help but groan.
When others practice, they use the energy of Dantian to slowly open the meridians, step by step, without any pain.
But Long Chen couldn't do it. He needed to rely on external energy, which was like causing seawater to pour into the river fields. Not everyone could bear the ferocious power.
"It hurts, okay, I remember this pain." Long Chen gritted his teeth. If someone hadn't stolen his spiritual root, how could he use such a crazy method?
"Bang bang bang..."
There were continuous explosions in Long Chen's body, and the meridians opened one after another. Every time the meridians were opened, Long Chen would experience severe pain.
When the meridians throughout his body were opened, Long Chen almost fainted. It took him a full hour to recover before Long Chen recovered.
Now that the pain has passed, Long Chen feels that the pores all over his body have opened. As he breathes, the invisible spiritual energy between heaven and earth is slowly being absorbed by him.
"Very good, the meridians have been opened, and I can finally practice."
Long Chen felt his body. Now that the meridians were opened, he could naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through his pores, nourish his body, and make his body stronger.
Although the meridians have just been opened now, Long Chen's body is full of strength after the transformation of spiritual energy.
"call"
A punch came out, with the sound of howling wind, and a smile appeared on Long Chen's face. This pain was not in vain.
Ordinary people who practice cultivation must first enter the Qi Sensing Realm. After being able to sense spiritual energy, they can enter the Qi Gathering Realm.
However, Long Chen Jian took a different approach and used the power of medicine to open the pores, forcibly inducing the power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to penetrate the meridians, which was equivalent to entering the Qi Gathering Realm in one fell swoop.
However, this Qi Gathering Realm refers to the strength of Long Chen's body being nourished and entering the Qi Gathering Realm. Because he has no Dantian and cannot condense cyclones, he is not really in the Qi Gathering Realm.
"Although the meridians have been forcibly opened now, the true energy cannot be stored in the Dantian. Fighting with others cannot last long, and it still won't work."
Long Chen searched for a long time in his memory, and suddenly found a unique martial arts memory among countless alchemy techniques - the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique.
What surprised Long Chen was that the Nine-Star Body Hegemony Technique was tailor-made for him. It was a secret technique that unlocked the secrets of the human body. It cultivated not the Dantian but the Nine Stars.
The nine stars are the nine secret treasures in the human body. If the nine secret treasures are opened, it is equivalent to opening the nine dantian. Seeing this, Long Chen almost jumped up.
But when he saw what was behind him, Long Chen's heart suddenly turned cold. That was the practice of the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique, which required the consumption of countless pills.
Just the condensation of the first star, Fengfu Star, will consume countless energy. If that energy is absorbed by external forces, it will not be able to condense even if it takes a hundred years.
If you want to condense the first star, you must use elixirs, and the amount of elixirs is frightening. Otherwise, you will not be able to practice at all.
But now that the Long family is in a difficult situation, they simply don't have the financial resources to buy elixirs. What's more, the pills he took cannot be regarded as elixirs.
“I have to find a way to make some money.”
Long Chen pondered for a moment, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room. It was already past noon, but there were not many people in the huge Hou Mansion, which made it look extremely desolate.
Long Chen's father, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, has always lived in the wilderness. Over the years, Long Chen's mother and son have been looked down upon by everyone in the imperial capital. Although they have titles, they still live a very miserable life. In the entire Marquis Mansion, there are only more than a dozen maids and handymen.
It's just people, because there are too many people and they can't support them.
It can be said that among all the princes, the Long family is the most depressed family, and Long Chen is the most depressed among all the princes.
The martial arts in the Fengming Empire was at its peak, and everyone practiced martial arts. However, Long Chen had a special physique and was unable to practice martial arts, which made him the object of ridicule.
On the contrary to Long Chen, Long Chen's father Tian Xiao was an unparalleled strong man who guarded the borderlands. Even with the ferocity of the barbarians, he could not invade the Fengming Empire even half a step.
Long Tianxiao was the military god of the Fengming Empire, while Long Chen was a waste who couldn't even sense Qi. He couldn't help but make people feel like the father of a tiger and the son of a dog.
Countless people laughed at him, but Long Chen didn't care, but a few days ago, Zhou Yaoyang, the eldest son of Manhuang Hou, laughed at Long Chen for not being Long Tianxiao's son.
Long Chen was so angry that he was clearly insulting his mother for being unfaithful. Long Chen, who was already overwhelmed with anger, brazenly challenged the opponent to a duel.
But the opponent is a strong man from the seventh level of Qi gathering. He is an ordinary person who can't even feel Qi. He is simply bringing humiliation to himself.
That's why there was news that Long Chen was knocked unconscious and sent back to the Long family. For a time, Long Chen became the laughing stock of the entire imperial capital.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, Long Chen went straight to Baicao in the Imperial Capital, where various precious medicinal materials were sold. He needed to know about the market for medicinal herbs.
Many people along the way saw Long Chen coming out and couldn't help but point fingers behind his back. Long Chen was used to this.
At the same time, he secretly sneered in his heart, his father suppressed the border wilderness and made extraordinary achievements for the entire Fengming Empire.
But what did they get? Their mother and son were bullied and looked down upon in the imperial capital, and he was almost beaten to death. Is this a reward? A group of people who were protected by their father turned their backs on him. Is this a reward?
Long Chen quickened his pace. Although he was not afraid of such eyes, he would always feel a little unhappy. But at this moment, his way was blocked by someone.
"Hey, isn't this the Crown Prince Long Chen? I heard that he was beaten so much that he didn't even recognize his own mother. Why did he run out alive and kicking today?"
In front of Long Chen, a young man in fine clothes who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, accompanied by two guards, was looking at Long Chen with a mocking expression.
This person is also an eldest son from a princely family. His name is Li Hao. However, his title is not high and his status is incomparable with Long Chen. However, in Fengming Empire, title and status are secondary. The most important thing is
strength.
Li Hao was standing in the middle of the road at this time. If Long Chen wanted to pass, he would have to go around him.
If it were Long Chen in the past, he would have turned around and left, but today Long Chen looked at Li Hao, shook his head, and sighed:
"People say a good dog stays out of the way, but it seems you are not a good dog."
"Long Chen, it seems that you were not taught enough last time. Do you want to be beaten to death again and thrown off the ring?" Li Hao's expression changed at first, and then he mocked.
"So you are just a dog, and you are worthy of eating shit next to Zhou Yaoyang." Long Chen shook his head. For such a person, he didn't want to waste time. He needed to do business, so he had to walk past him.
"Long Chen, you are looking for death"
Li Hao couldn't help but look furious. He didn't expect that Long Chen, who had always been cowardly, could be so tough. He didn't take him seriously at all and stretched out his hand to stop Long Chen.
Long Chen frowned slightly and was about to speak when suddenly a figure came over and cursed at Li Hao: "Li Hao, you are just looking for death. Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten my brother?"
The person who came was a very tall man, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was nine feet tall, more than a head taller than both of them, and his aura was very scary.
"Shi Feng, you have nothing to do here, you'd better not meddle in other people's business."
When Li Hao saw Shi Feng, he couldn't help but roared with anger. Shi Feng was also a prince, with a similar status to him, but Shi Feng was a strong man in the eighth level of Qi Gathering, while he was only in the third level of Qi Gathering.
In addition, Shi Feng is born with divine power. Generally, few people at the same level are his opponents. He does not have the guts to challenge Shi Feng.
"Brother Long Chen, I heard that you were beaten by that bastard Zhou Yaoyang. Brother, let me vent your anger." Shi Feng looked at Long Chen and said angrily.
Long Chen looked at the big man in front of him and felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Shi Feng was the only person in the entire imperial capital who treated him like a brother.
"It's okay, I will avenge myself, don't worry." Long Chen smiled slightly, patted Shi Feng's shoulder and said.
Seeing what Long Chen said, Shi Feng felt that Long Chen might be a little embarrassed, so he stopped mentioning this issue.
"Let's go for a walk with me," Long Chen said with a smile, and after saying that, he was about to take Shi Feng away.
When Li Hao saw the two of them, he actually thought he was nothing. He couldn't help but became furious and cursed: "Long Chen, you bastard, if you have the guts, challenge me to a challenge."
Long Chen had just taken a few steps, when his face suddenly darkened, murderous intent surged up in his eyes, and he slowly turned his head.
"You want to challenge me?" Long Chen's voice was cold, like ice, chilling people's bones.
Li Hao couldn't help but provoke Lingling to shiver. He felt that Long Chen was a little weird today, but the big talk had already been released. If he was timid at this time, he would become the laughing stock of the entire imperial capital.
What's more, he usually bullied Long Chen a lot, and acted completely based on experience, without paying any attention to the fear rising in his heart.
"Yes, do you dare to accept the challenge?" Li Hao said loudly.
"No problem, but I want to raise the stakes." Long Chen thought for a while and said.
"More bets? Haha, your Long family is almost out of trouble. What are you betting on me? Your family's house, or if you lose, you become my slave?" Li Hao sneered.
But he didn't notice that a cold smile appeared on the corner of Long Chen's mouth. That smile was a little sinister.
"Brother Shi, how about you lend me your sword?" Long Chen said.
"Take it"
Although Shi Feng was a little reluctant, he still handed over the long knife.
Long Chen nodded, secretly keeping this feeling in his heart, and said to Li Hao: "Although this sword is not top-grade, it is still worth eight thousand gold coins. Now I will treat it as worth five thousand gold coins. You win
If you win, you can take the sword away. If you lose, give me five thousand gold coins, how about that?"
Li Hao's heart moved. The knife in Shi Feng's hand was made of fine steel. It was made by a famous master. It was worth eight thousand gold coins. It was absolutely worth it.
Now that Long Chen, a fool, actually dared to use this thing to block it, he was already filled with joy.
But he said mockingly: "I wonder if someone will turn their backs and refuse to admit it after you lose?"
"Don't worry, I, Shi Feng, always say one is one," Shi Feng sneered.
"Okay, then go to the ring and sign the contract. If I don't beat you to pieces today, I won't call you Li Hao." Li Hao couldn't help but be overjoyed and said with high spirits.
Long Chen's face was calm, but there was a gloomy look in his eyes. Li Hao was just a dog beside Zhou Yaoyang, and was not taken seriously by Long Chen. But what was their conspiracy against him?
But no matter what the conspiracy was, the truth would eventually come to light one day, and Long Chen and his group headed straight for an arena outside the imperial capital.
