Just as Long Chen pulled Qing Qing away, the man was furious, blocked Long Chen's way, and shouted coldly:
"You clearly said before that you knew Long Chen."
"Wait a minute, I don't have a very good memory. When did I say that I knew Long Chen? Think about our previous conversation again." Long Chen said innocently.
"Do you have a bug in your head? The first thing I asked you was, do you know about Long Chen? You said you did." The man said angrily.
"Yes, I know Long Chen. How many people here know about Long Chen? But I know, but I really don't know him." Long Chen said a little at a loss.
"You..." The man almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Hey, are you going to regret it? Are the rumors all false? You asked a question and gave me money and you still want it back?
Well, since you are reluctant to part with the money, then I will give it back to you. Although I am poor, I am very poor and have a backbone, unlike some...forget it, let’s not talk about it, you can take it back.” Long Chen said.
After finishing, hand a space ring to that person.
The man's face turned green and white. He looked at the ring and said angrily: "The men in my Zhongxuan Domain are all people of status. How can you take something back and spend it as a gift?"
I’ll reward you beggars from the outside world.”
The man finally snorted coldly and left. The others shook their heads and followed suit.
"Hey, you people from the Zhongxuan Realm are really rich. Let's go, I'll treat you to a nice meal." Long Chen chuckled, pulling Qing Qing, who was still a little out of his mind, and walked straight to an old restaurant.
When they went to the restaurant, Long Chen was very generous and ordered the dishes based on the money, so he directly ordered the dishes worth 20,000 spirit crystals.
Good guy, the table is as long as a mountain, and the ingredients for each dish are extremely expensive.
Some meats, even those from twelfth-level monsters, and some vegetarian dishes are also cooked with precious medicinal herbs. The fragrance is so fragrant that it almost makes people drunk.
As soon as the food came, Long Chen feasted on it and took a big bite of a piece of golden beef tendon. It was the body of a twelfth-level magic beast. He didn't know what method was used to cook it until it melted in his mouth, but all the essence of Qi and blood inside was
Keep it without any loss. It is delicious and nourishes the body. No wonder it is so expensive.
"Qingqing, eat quickly."
After Long Chen took several bites, he realized that Qingqing was staring blankly at the mountain of vegetables in front of him and didn't even know how to move his chopsticks.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, do we really want to be so extravagant? I'm not used to it." Qing Qing said uneasily.
Long Chen smiled and said: "The money is given by others, the guests are invited by others, and it is not spending our money. What do you have to worry about? Come on and eat."
To be honest, even if I didn't meet this unlucky person, I would treat you to a nice meal myself. I really admire your knowledge.
Come on, eat whatever you want, your senior brother and I have nothing but money. People often give me money, and I can’t stop it."
"Long Chen, you are so popular, so many people want to give you money?" Qing Qing said in surprise.
Long Chen was speechless for a while. This kid was too naive and couldn't understand what he meant. He gave him money because he was popular.
After chatting and joking with Long Chen for a while, Qingqing finally let go of Qingqing and started to use chopsticks. After taking a bite of food, her beautiful eyes lit up. She was obviously amazed by the food here.
"It makes sense that other people's food is so expensive. Eat it quickly. Come on, this is good food. You should come and eat it." Long Chen pushed a plate to Qingqing.
On that plate, there were more than a dozen pieces of transparent stuff, which were crystal clear and melted in the mouth. Qingqing took a bite, but she didn't even realize what they were.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, what is this? It's delicious, and the essence is surprisingly rich."
Qingqing was surprised, but she soon discovered that Long Chen's face was a little shy and his expression was a little strange.
Qingqing didn't know that what she ate was a bullwhip, a bullwhip from a twelfth-level magic beast, a golden celestial ox, so how could that energy be insufficient? But Long Chen couldn't tell her the truth.
Who knows if she will vomit it out. Long Chen regrets letting her eat this thing. This is not easy to explain.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, what's wrong? Is this thing weird?" Qing Qing asked curiously with an innocent look on his face.
"This... is actually nothing weird. It's just an organ in an animal." Long Chen said vaguely.
"An organ in animals? Does it exist in humans?" Qingqing thought for a moment and asked.
"Well, how do you say this? Some people have it, some people... don't have it." Long Chen wanted to cover his face. This is so difficult to explain, especially to an innocent girl. It's too special.
It hurts.
"It's so amazing. Do I have it?" Qingqing asked with his eyes shining.
"You don't have it now, but maybe you will in the future." Long Chen said vaguely.
"shameless"
At this moment, suddenly on a table not far away, a woman wearing a purple dress snorted and stood up, glared at Long Chen, turned around and left.
But the moment the woman stared at Long Chen, her expression suddenly changed, and she was only halfway through turning around.
"Oh it's you"
The woman looked at Long Chen in shock, obviously recognizing Long Chen's identity. Long Chen's illusions were of no use to her.
Long Chen himself was also shocked. The power of heaven around the woman was actually extremely weak. If he hadn't seen her eyes, Long Chen would have even been deceived by her.
This woman turned out to be a powerful Tianyan. There were golden symbols flowing in her eyes, which was very shocking.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the famous Long Chen is just a dirty guy. It seems that the rumors are not false, but he is just trying to steal his reputation." The woman in purple snorted coldly, and finally turned around and left, disappearing from the restaurant.
Long Chen looked confused. Who was this woman? He didn't know her at all. Why was she scolded for no reason? No, she must have understood what Long Chen meant.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, this sister is very powerful. Her name is Ye Lingshan, and she was originally a casual cultivator.
But because she received the inheritance from a sect, she instantly became a peerless genius. It was rumored that her potential was very terrifying, and all the major forces were wooing her, wanting to take her into their sect.
Even the leader of the alliance has invited her and even wanted to accept her as a disciple, but she seems to have been hesitating and has not made a decision." Qing Qing said with some surprise.
"The leader of the alliance wants to accept her as a disciple? This is feasible. The two people have similar personalities. They are quite aggressive and will bite people as soon as they open their mouths." Long Chen nodded.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Long Chen, if you slander the leader of the alliance in front of me, be careful that I betray you." Qingqing said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, I believe you won't be able to eat other people's mouths." Long Chen said with a smile.
The two finished their meal quickly and there was a lot left. Qingqing put it away directly and said that he would go back and treat his sisters to eat.
Long Chen said he wanted to ask for another table for Qingqing to take back, but Qingqing refused. The two of them left the restaurant and took a very short teleportation array to a high mountain.
In front of the mountain, there is a cliff. On the cliff, there is a ladder with nine steps in total, which looks extremely ancient.
What surprised Long Chen was that when he looked at the stairs, he actually felt a strong spiritual pressure. This was the first time that Long Chen felt such a powerful soul power, which was like the roar of an angry sea.
"Brother, this is the Venerable Platform. This is a stone staircase passed down from the Great Dark Age.
In ancient times, this was a place where a person's potential was tested. As long as someone could step onto the ninth-level platform, it meant that he had a great chance of being promoted to a venerable person in the future. Senior brother, do you want to give it a try? Anyone here is qualified to go.
, there is no need to pay." Qingqing smiled, her beautiful eyes full of expectation, she really hoped that Long Chen could show off his skills.
Long Chen looked at the nine stone steps in the distance. At this time, many strong men were climbing up.
Although there are nine steps in total, each stone step is ninety-nine feet high. After the disciples climbed up the stone steps, they seemed to be suppressed by some kind of law. They were unable to fly into the air and could only climb with their bodies.
Some people could not climb more than three steps before they spurted out a mouthful of blood, fell down the stone steps, and landed heavily on the ground, covering their heads and screaming in pain.
"There is a spiritual illusion formation on this stone step, which not only deprives people of spiritual energy, but also causes various kinds of damage to people's spirits.
When climbing the stone steps, you will have constant hallucinations and inner demons reborn. People without great perseverance come here just to seek abuse and mess up their Taoist mind. Why bother?" Long Chen shook his head and said.
Long Chen's spiritual power was so great that he could almost figure out the details of the stone steps through his induction.
Long Chen estimated that this stone step was used by ancient strong men as a test, not for assessment, because this kind of mental destruction would cause certain damage to the soul.
Long Chen calculated that this stone step should have a set of auxiliary formations, which can not only quickly recover people's soul injuries, but also strengthen people's Taoism, otherwise it is used to deceive people.
It's just that the origin of this stone step is too old, and it is an ownerless thing. Without anyone to maintain it, the power will definitely be lost. Even if it barely reaches the ninth step, what will happen?
Can you become a Venerable by climbing on it? It’s just for psychological comfort. Long Chen would not do such a stupid thing.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, you are so powerful, you actually saw through the inside story of the Venerable Platform at a glance." Qing Qing said in surprise.
"Looking at you, have you crawled before?" Long Chen was stunned.
"Well, when I climbed to the fifth step, I couldn't hold on any longer. I fell down and almost broke into pieces." Qingqing stuck out her pink tongue and said a little embarrassedly.
"With your quiet personality, it's already very good to be able to climb to the fifth level, but don't be superstitious about this venerable platform.
Because of the passage of time, the runes of the Venerable Platform have been eroded too much and are no longer comparable to the original Venerable Platform. Many of its beneficial functions have been lost.
It is precisely because of this that he was left here for everyone to do harm to themselves, otherwise he would have been taken as his own." Long Chen said.
The current Venerable Platform only has the kind of damage to people's spirit. This place is only suitable for people with great perseverance to exercise their spiritual will. Others come, which is harmful rather than beneficial. Therefore, there are many talented people in Qingfeng City, and those who come to climb the Venerable Platform,
There are just a few, and it is estimated that some of them are probably from the four major domains.
"Hey, Ye Lingshan is here too. Is she going to challenge the venerable stage?" Qingqing just exclaimed, and Long Chen saw Ye Lingshan's figure appearing in front of the venerable stage.
