Long Chen opened the box, and inside was a beautiful hairpin. When he saw the hairpin, Meng Qi exclaimed:
"so beautiful"
The hairpin is seven inches long, golden in color, and covered with complex patterns. The head of the hairpin is a beautifully made flower, with eighteen petals in the center and thirty-six stamens, just like a real flower.
.
What amazed Meng Qi the most was that even the core, which was as thin as a cow's hair, was covered with fine patterns. It was so ingenious that Meng Qi couldn't put it down.
"Is it really given to me?" Meng Qi looked at the hairpin and said in surprise.
"Of course, I have been thinking about this gift for a long time and put a lot of effort into it," Long Chen said.
"Long Chen, thank you, you are so kind." Meng Qi nestled in Long Chen's arms, holding a golden hairpin with a look of happiness on her face. There are not many women in the world who can resist the temptation of exquisite jewelry.
But if Long Chen's words were heard by Guo Ran, I wonder if he would hit the most respected boss in his heart with a hammer.
It's true that Long Chen worked hard, but it would be a bit shameless to say that he worked hard, because Guo Ran worked day and night for more than half a month to create the hairpin.
"Huh?" Meng Qi took the hairpin in her hand and looked at it carefully, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.
"Why, it feels a bit familiar," Long Chen said with a slight smile.
"This..." Meng Qi said with some surprise.
"Hehe, that's right, this is made of golden pages." Long Chen laughed and said:
"Now this hairpin is a standard Horcrux. After my design, the eighteen petals, thirty-six cores and hairpin stick can be used separately.
These parts are all engraved with soul seal runes. As long as you nourish them with your soul, the flower stamens will fly when the soul power reaches them, killing people invisible." Long Chen said with some excitement.
You must know that Horcruxes are extremely valuable. I heard from Meng Qi that the master of the Wind Soul Pavilion has a Horcrux that looks like a small ruler, which is extremely terrifying.
But unfortunately, Long Chen didn't see it, and the heavenly tribulation came that day and killed everyone. Under that terrifying heavenly tribulation, everyone turned into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
Perhaps only the super space ring could be saved, but at that time, Long Chen was seriously injured and dying, so he had no time to clean up the battlefield.
Only people of the level of the Master of the Wind Soul Pavilion are qualified to possess Horcruxes, which shows how precious Horcruxes are.
"Could this be made by Guo Ran? It must be very laborious to build such a Horcrux." Meng Qi finally remembered that that day Long Chen took the golden book pages from her and went to find Guo Ran.
I muttered for a long time.
Effortless? Of course it was effortful, otherwise the boy would not have almost fallen out that day, and the craftsmanship was just that. The most troublesome thing was the inscription of the runes.
If it were to inscribe ordinary weapons, that would be fine. To inscribe on a stamen as thick as an ox hair would be simply embarrassing.
Thanks to Guo Ran's astonishing talent in forging, he also learned some secrets in the secret records of ghost craftsmanship. Although it is still very superficial, he still has no problem with inscriptions as a necessary course for casting, but
It's just very difficult.
This small hairpin took more effort than he spent on making a set of armor.
"Stop practicing these days, use your soul power to refine this hairpin and imprint your own soul mark. This way you will have an extra trump card in the future," Long Chen said.
If she is facing an enemy, Meng Qi can use the monster as a cover and secretly release a flower petal to instantly kill the powerful enemy.
You know, that is soul gold. Only innate-level weapons can resist it. Innate-level weapons are too precious. It would be good if half of the ten innate-level experts have innate-level weapons.
As for innate-level armor, I have never heard of it. Without innate-level armor, whose body can block a Horcrux?
It can be said that after Meng Qi got the hairpin, she became an innate-level killer. Perhaps among everyone, her lethality was the most terrifying.
After talking to Meng Qi for a while, Long Chen no longer delayed Meng Qi's refining hairpin, and hurriedly returned to his residence and began to retreat.
Taking advantage of no one to disturb him during this period, Long Chen began to take medicine like crazy and tried his best to refine the power of the medicine. Today, Meng Qi's words to persuade him to retreat touched the pain in his heart.
He can't watch the people around him die, nor can he give up looking for his biological parents, so his only way out now is to become stronger! Become stronger! Become stronger!
Whether it's for the people around him, his parents, or the disembodied voice in his head, he must become stronger.
Now he has no way out and must rush forward desperately, because once he stops, he may lose his precious partner.
…
During this period, the entire branch was very calm, but the calm was a bit scary because the investigation team was disbanded after only investigating for seven days.
Zhou Qingyi is not a fool. She has also seen that Long Chen does everything without revealing anything and will not give her any excuses. If this continues, it will be in vain and will be ridiculed by others.
She simply gave up the investigation and sent her son back to the Xuantian Dao Sect, hoping that through connections, she could ask the sect's soul cultivators to seal part of Zhou Qifeng's memory.
Once a person's memory is sealed, part of the soul's power will also be sealed, and the soul will become incomplete, which means that he will not be able to advance for life.
However, Zhou Qifeng is also known as a loser. He spent countless resources to accumulate the middle stage of Xiantian. The late stage of Xiantian is his end point. It is simply impossible to break through Xiantian.
In this case, it is better to seal that part of the memory. At least Zhou Qifeng can live normally for a few years. There is nothing that can be done.
After finishing these things, Zhou Qingyi made no further moves or targeted the First Branch. Everything seemed extremely calm.
And this calmness makes people feel a sense of unsteadiness, it is like the calm before the storm, and you don't know when something will break out.
This calm lasted for a whole month. A month later, a group of people appeared on the teleportation array in the first annex.
"Long Chen, get out of here, I, Han Tianyu, challenge you."
A roar spread throughout the entire annex, and the disciples from the first annex rushed out one after another towards the teleportation array.
"Han Tianyu"
When they saw the person coming, many people's expressions changed. That person was Han Tianyu, who was known as the strongest young man in the academy and a once-in-a-millennium genius.
At this time, Han Tianyu's face was cold and stern, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, like a ferocious monster, which made people's scalp numb just by looking at it.
Behind Han Tianyu was a woman. Many people recognized that woman. She had also been to the First Villa before. She was Yin Qing, a half-step sea-opening realm expert from the Yin family.
Next to the woman was a man with a cold face, gloomy eyes, and a pair of eagle eyes. The man gave everyone a cold look.
Those disciples who were looked at by his eyes all felt their hearts beating wildly, their breathing difficult, and at the same time they felt the blood in their bodies flowing rapidly, as if they were about to explode and die.
Those disciples were horrified. It was just a look that almost killed them. How strong is this person?
The three of them walked down the teleportation array. When Han Tianyu saw that there was no familiar figure among the crowd, he couldn't help but shouted angrily again:
"Long Chen, you bastard, get out of here!"
"Han Tianyu, you want to kill yourself, but you don't have the courage. Do you want to use my hand to deal with you?"
A cold voice spread throughout the audience, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads, only to see Long Chen wearing a black robe, with lightning-like eyes and a stern face, as if the god of death was coming, slowly walking towards this side.
"Long Chen"
Seeing Long Chen's arrival, Han Tianyu's originally handsome face became distorted in an instant, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Long Chen heard Han Tianyu's voice and couldn't help but wonder why this guy suddenly appeared in the first annex and dared to challenge him.
When he came closer, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. At this moment, Han Tianyu seemed to be a completely different person.
At the beginning, Han Tianyu was gloomy and did not show his emotions easily, but now he is full of a violent aura, and even in that aura, there is something that makes Long Chen afraid of him.
But before Long Chen could take a closer look at Han Tianyu, Long Chen felt that he was being stared at by a pair of eyes. When Long Chen looked at those eagle-like eyes, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
Those eyes seemed to have a kind of magic power. When he looked into his eyes, Long Chen immediately felt that the blood flow in his whole body accelerated rapidly, rushing towards his brain. If he allowed the blood to pour into his brain, his whole head would explode in an instant.
broken.
"snort"
Long Chen snorted coldly, and the Nine Star Hegemon Body Technique was activated, and the blood that was about to run rampant returned to calm in an instant.
"Huh? He has some skills." The eagle-eyed man glanced at Long Chen in surprise and said calmly.
Long Chen was secretly shocked. This eagle-eyed man had such a weird skill. He could actually hit someone with one look. If he were an ordinary disciple, he could kill someone with just one look.
"This is the first courtyard. You, the Yin family, came here uninvited without anyone's permission. Are you a little ignorant of etiquette? Are you, the ancient family, all just rubbish?" Long Chen looked at the three of them and said coldly.
.
"You are wrong. Their arrival was approved by me."
Suddenly the teleportation array lit up, and two figures appeared in front of everyone.
"See the Lord in charge"
Those two people were Shui Wuhen and Zhou Qingyi, and it was the latter who spoke. However, everyone saluted, but they only faced Shui Wuhen and regarded Zhou Qingyi as nothing.
Zhou Qingyi's face was extremely ugly. She and Shui Wuhen appeared at the same time, but she was treated as nothing, which made her very embarrassed.
"Long Chen, Han Tianyu is now challenging you to a life-and-death fight, will you accept it?" Zhou Qingyi shouted coldly.
