In the inner courtyard of the palace, in the study of the fourth prince, the fourth prince was seen leaning on a chair with his eyes half asleep, quietly listening to the report of Marquis Manhuang.
"Master, there is still no movement over there at Zhenyuan Marquis. The army is always stationed in place. As for the master's letter, there is no reply," Marquis Manhuang said respectfully.
After a while, the fourth prince slowly opened his eyes. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he snorted: "You are such a stubborn old man who doesn't know how to live or die. I gave him so much time, but he actually thinks that I am a soft persimmon."
"This Long Tianxiao really doesn't know how to commend himself. After all these years, he still refuses to submit to the prince. It's really abominable and he deserves death." Manhuang Hou said bitterly.
The fourth prince glanced at Manhuang Hou and said, "I know about the feud between you and Long Tianxiao. If it hadn't been for his punch, you would have had a great chance of being promoted to Yijin Realm.
But Long Tianxiao's strength does not only lie in his martial arts, otherwise I wouldn't value him so much.
It's a pity that he is too stubborn and refuses to be used by me. Since he can't be mine, let him be dead."
Hearing what the fourth prince said, Hou Manhuang was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Master, do you have any good ideas?"
"Now is not the time to deal with him, but he has failed me for so many years of hard work, so let's kill his only son first, just as repaying some interest," the fourth prince said calmly.
"Long Chen? How to kill?" Manhuang Hou was a little confused.
Nowadays, Long Chen is a member of the Alchemist Guild. It is rumored that his relationship with Master Yunqi is very unusual. Even the royal family does not dare to offend the Alchemist Guild.
"I have already arranged this matter. You don't have to worry about it. Now you slowly start to concentrate all your strength. We are about to start making big moves. Remember not to cause any abnormal movement," the fourth prince said coldly.
"Yes, master, don't worry, I will definitely do it without leakage," Manhuang Hou said hurriedly.
Now his strength is only in the blood coagulation realm, and his military force is not outstanding. That is why the fourth prince uses him so much.
On the one hand, it is because he is loyal, and on the other hand, he is very cautious in doing things. Over the years, he has never made any mistakes.
After Marquis Manhuang left, the fourth prince looked at the books on the case in a daze, and then sighed for a long time.
"Long Tianxiao, Long Tianxiao, why are you doing this? All these years of sincerity can't impress you, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
…
"boom"
There was another explosion in the body, and Long Chen's eyes slowly opened. The sharpness hidden in the star-like eyes was like a sharp blade, making people afraid to look closely.
Looking at the seven cyclones slowly rotating in his dantian, a satisfied smile appeared on Long Chen's face.
He had advanced to four realms in seven days. This speed would definitely scare a lot of people to death, but Long Chen was still a little dissatisfied.
He originally thought that as the number of cyclones increased, his cultivation would become faster and faster, but he soon discovered that this idea was wrong.
The further back the cyclone is condensed, the more difficult it becomes and the more spiritual energy it requires. His fourth cyclone only took three hours, but his seventh cyclone took three full days.
It was equivalent to the total consumption of the first three cyclones, but what pleased Long Chen was that after reaching the seventh level of Qi Gathering, he discovered that his meridians were more solid.
However, he still couldn't use the Kaitian combat skill, which made Long Chen not only not depressed, but even more excited. This shows that Kaitian is an extremely powerful combat skill. A rubbish pill is exchanged for a book of advanced combat skills. What do you think?
Good deal.
Originally, Long Chen wanted to exchange the elixirs for some advanced combat skills through the strong man in the blood coagulation realm who guarded the combat skills pavilion.
But now it is enough to have the Wind-breaking Fist and Fire Cloud Palm taught to him by Chu Yao. Both of them are human-level advanced combat skills. I am afraid they can only be found on the third floor of the War Skills Pavilion. It is estimated that even the guards guarding the War Skills Pavilion are
That person is not qualified to learn.
The more combat skills the better, usually warriors will not use combat skills unless absolutely necessary.
Because combat skills consume a very large amount of spiritual energy, ordinary Qi Gathering Realm warriors can only activate low-level human-level combat skills once.
After one activation, the remaining spiritual energy is not enough to activate a second time. Therefore, if you cannot defeat the enemy with one move, you will basically not waste precious spiritual energy.
The more advanced the combat skills, the greater the spiritual energy consumption. Generally speaking, human-level high-level combat skills are only used by strong people in the blood coagulation realm.
Only they have the powerful spiritual energy to support such terrifying consumption, but Long Chen is different.
His spiritual energy is stored in the Fengfu Star. Long Chen has tested it and found that with his current spiritual energy, he can activate advanced human-level combat skills seven times.
However, if you use a super combat skill, that is, to activate the aura of Fengfu Star, enter the cyclone and then use it, his aura is only enough to activate it once.
The second time he was exhausted and couldn't activate it, but now Long Chen can't condense the second star, because it is recorded in the Nine-Star Hegemon Body Art that only when the first star becomes a real star, can the second star be condensed.
star.
But now Long Chen doesn't know what a real star is, and he doesn't know what the nine transformations of the star in his memory refer to. He is getting more and more confused, so he can only helplessly continue to condense the cyclone.
"Master, can I come in?" Bao'er's crisp voice came from outside the door.
"come in"
When Bao'er came in, he held some clothes in his hands and said with a smile: "Master, today is the Fengming Lantern Festival. Madam ordered me to freshen up and dress you up."
After saying that, he asked Long Chen to sit down, cleaned his face, and combed his hair. Long Chen smiled and said, "Why are you so solemn?"
"Hehe, Madam said, the young master is almost sixteen years old, and it's time to get married. She asked me to dress you up, just in case a young lady takes a fancy to him, hehe... you know" Bao'er
He said with a smile.
"No way, I'm so anxious?" Long Chen couldn't help but was speechless for a while. Fatty Yu and others were already seventeen or eighteen years old, and they weren't married either.
"Of course I'm anxious. I'm anxious to hold my grandson."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Long walked in, looked at Long Chen and said, "As for Meng Qi, we can take our time and make a long-term goal.
But you must also have short-term goals. This is called holding on to both hands. To be safe, I suggest you find a suitable girl first and give birth to the child. It will not delay you to pursue Mengqi again. This is called double insurance."
"Mom, is this okay?" Long Chen looked at my mother in disbelief.
"Why not? It's common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Can't you just leave the main wife to Meng Qi?" Mrs. Long said matter-of-factly.
"No, are you sure?" Long Chen obviously didn't believe it.
"Of course, but you can't tell Meng Qi in advance. She will agree after you guys talk about it," Mrs. Long reminded.
Long Chen opened his eyes wide. Is this okay? "Mom, you said that my father has ignored us for so many years. Did he have three wives and four concubines outside?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it would be better if your father had three wives and four concubines," Mrs. Long scolded, but there was a hint of guilt in her eyes.
"Haha, I'm just joking, mother, don't worry, if there are any suitable ones at this lantern festival, I will get you two first." Long Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw that his mother was not very happy.
"Bah, who do you think you are? You brought two of them back. I'm telling you, don't be playful with me. You have to keep this in mind, do you understand?" Mrs. Long reminded her solemnly.
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say," Long Chen promised, but he didn't agree in his heart, but he just didn't dare to say it out loud.
After washing up, Long Chen put on a blue robe that just fit him. After putting on the clothes, Long Chen's whole person became completely new.
With his sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, he was full of energy and indescribable handsomeness. Bao'er's eyes shone when he saw him and he kept praising him.
"Hehe, don't worry, madam. With our young master's conditions, how many women can stop him?"
"You, don't praise him to the heavens," Mrs. Long said, but her eyes were filled with a satisfied smile. Seeing her son's talent, she felt full of pride in her heart.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go out quickly." Mrs. Long pushed Long Chen out of the door.
"Mom, the sun is still so high, it's still early before dark." Long Chen pointed at the sun that was slightly westward and said helplessly.
"You brat, you don't know how to prepare for a rainy day. Go and occupy a good seat first, so that you can improve your efficiency. Hurry up."
After Mrs. Long finished speaking, she closed the door with a bang.
Long Chen rolled his eyes. This was not a street stall, so he needed to occupy a seat. However, he had already been kicked out of the house, so he had no choice but to leave.
Along the way, Long Chen saw countless people busy in front of his house, hanging lanterns one by one. Seeing Long Chen appear, a young man smiled and said: "Brother, it's early enough."
"What do you know? The early bird catches the worm," Long Chen said angrily.
"Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for reminding me, brother. I'm going to change my clothes." After saying that, the man ran back to the yard.
"You little brat, you're only 13 or 14 years old, and you just want to pick up girls."
Long Chen curled his lips. Today's children are too precocious. He came out too early. If he went there at this time, he would only be laughed at.
But time is too embarrassing now. If you find a place to practice, the time is too short. If you just wait, it will be too long.
When Long Chen was hesitating about what to do, suddenly a real murderous intention came over him, and a strong wind roared directly towards the vital part of Long Chen's vest.
He hurriedly turned around and swung out his palm. Long Chen's palm hit the sneak attack palm.
"boom"
There was an explosion of Qi Jin, and Long Chen was knocked back a few steps. When he looked up, he saw a masked man slapping Long Chen down with another palm. The force was extremely powerful, and a strong wind roared in.
Long Chen snorted coldly, ignored the man's palm, kicked out, and went straight to the man's crotch.
"boom"
The man was extremely experienced in fighting. He retracted his palm and switched from offense to defense, blocking Long Chen's kick with one leg.
"go to hell"
After blocking Long Chen's kick, the man suddenly burst out with energy and blood, and a fierce force rose up. He punched through the space and blocked all Long Chen's escape routes.
A sharp look appeared in Long Chen's eyes, and he was about to explode with all his strength, but suddenly he remembered something.
"Yu Niu Jin"
Long Chen shouted loudly and punched the man's fist. The whole person was knocked away for more than ten steps, and blood surged in his chest.
The man knocked Long Chen away with one punch, and just as he was about to continue pursuing the victory, suddenly the figures around him shook, obviously alarming the people around him.
"Hmph, kid, I'll take your life next time." The man glanced at Long Chen, who looked a little pale, and left with a cold snort. Several ups and downs disappeared in front of Long Chen's eyes at an extremely fast speed.
After the man disappeared, the trace of paleness on Long Chen's face immediately disappeared, and a hint of ridicule appeared instead.
"Idiot, you want to test my background?"
Long Chen patted the dust on his body, glanced at the direction the man left, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
