Long Chen really didn't expect that the person who came to see him turned out to be the Seventh Prince. Ever since the unpleasant incident at the Taixue Palace last time, he had never had any interaction with him.
But the seventh prince is Chu Yao's biological brother. Long Chen is also a little apologetic about what happened last time. After all, this is his future brother-in-law.
"Brother Long, you should call me Chu Feng," the seventh prince quickly stood up and said, his attitude was very respectful, as if he was a different person from his previous domineering appearance.
Long Chen learned from Chu Yao that Chu Feng was actually not a bad character, but he was just trying to act like a fool to protect himself, so that he could be safer.
"I'm sorry about what happened last time." Long Chen nodded and patted Chu Feng on the shoulder.
"Brother Long, this is serious," Chu Feng quickly said humbly.
Long Chen picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, handed one cup to Chu Feng and said, "What are you doing here this time?"
This time when Chu Feng came, he did not wear the clothes of a prince, but wore a brocade robe, which looked more like the attire of an ordinary prince.
"Brother Long...this..." Chu Feng wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth several times and did not say anything.
"Just tell me what you have to say," Long Chen looked at Chu Feng and said.
Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "Today the Queen Mother announced that my sister will be married to Xia Changfeng, and the date will be the first day of October."
"Snapped"
Although he was prepared, Long Chen's blood surged when he heard the news. The cup in his hand was crushed to pieces, and the hot tea splashed all over him.
There was murderous intent in his eyes, and the whole room immediately felt like it had descended into an ice cellar, and Chu Yang couldn't help but feel chilled.
At this time, Long Chen was like an enraged ferocious beast, which could kill people at any time. His murderous intention was a hundred times stronger than that day in Taixue Palace.
"Is this true?" Long Chen asked through gritted teeth.
Chu Feng nodded. Under Long Chen's pressure, he found it difficult to pronounce words.
"court death"
Long Chen was extremely angry. That day he responded to Chu Yao in front of everyone in the imperial capital, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Chu Yao was his woman.
He did not rely on Master Yunqi's relationship to propose to Chu Yao. It was to give the Queen Mother enough face and give her a step down, and he did not want to embarrass her too much.
But I didn't expect that she would completely ignore Long Chen's feelings and Master Yun Qi's face, and resolutely marry Chu Yao to Xia Changfeng. This was simply too deceiving.
"Brother Long, my sister has been lonely all her life, always wearing a mask, but I understand her, and if I let her marry Xia Changfeng, it will cost her life.
Brother Long, I beg you, please save my sister." After speaking, Chu Feng had tears in his eyes and slowly knelt down to Long Chen.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Long Chen pulled Chu Feng up and said: "Since I promised, even if I die, I will protect my promise. Don't worry."
Hearing what Long Chen said, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel moved. Living in the inner courtyard of the palace, he had everything except the word trust.
"Your sister hasn't gone out during this period. Is she under house arrest?" Long Chen asked.
Chu Feng nodded and said: "Yes, since I went back last time, my sister has been under house arrest in the palace. The Queen Mother has not allowed her to leave the door."
Long Chen's face turned pale. It seems that the Queen Mother didn't take Master Yunqi seriously at all. This old witch, you just wait for me.
"Can you see your sister?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes, the Queen Mother just doesn't allow her to go out. She doesn't allow others to visit. As a younger brother, they don't dare to stop me," Chu Feng replied.
"That's good, let's count the days. It's the first day of October, and there's still more than a month left. We still have enough time.
Three days later, at Huayun Pavilion's annual auction, I will try my best to get the Molten Star Grass to solve your sister's physical troubles. You ask her to wait for me and not do stupid things," Long Chen said seriously.
Chu Feng was overjoyed and thanked Long Chen profusely, which made Long Chen very uncomfortable.
"Chu Feng, let me see your Dantian"
Long Chen had some doubts in his heart, so he put his hand on Chu Feng's shoulder, and spiritual energy poured in, slowly injecting into his Dantian.
There is indeed a ghost!
Long Chen discovered that Chu Feng's Dantian did not have the same shackles as Chu Yao's, but there was a foreign object on the spiritual root above the Dantian.
It was something that was almost too small to be seen with the naked eye. If Long Chen had preconceived the idea, it would probably be difficult to find it.
"Just bear with it"
"puff"
Long Chen's spiritual energy was activated, but Chu Feng felt a pain in his lower abdomen, a small pillar of blood spurted out, and a fine hair needle appeared in Long Chen's hand.
"It's actually the Dark Feather Needle, it's really vicious enough."
A sneer appeared on Long Chen's face. This Mingyu Needle was originally a needle used to treat Yang poison. It contains Yin poison, which can relieve Yang poison, neutralize the poison, and facilitate the detoxification.
However, if such a Dark Feather Needle is put into a normal person's Dantian, the spiritual roots of the Dantian will be corroded by sinister poison for a long time, making it impossible to practice.
Checking Chu Feng's dantian again, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. Due to the long-term erosion of sinister poison, his spiritual roots have dropped in grade. Otherwise, his talent would never be much worse than Chu Yao's.
"Chu Feng, I will help you get rid of this poisonous needle. You can practice practice after you go back, but you must pay attention to hiding it. I will give you a few Hidden Breath Pills. Take one every seven days. No one will find out."
Long Chen handed Chu Feng a jade bottle.
In his free time, Long Chen usually refines some other elixirs, which are of great assistance to him now.
However, Long Chen didn't tell Chu Feng that his spiritual roots were severely eroded, and he was afraid that the blood coagulation realm would be his end. Long Chen really couldn't tell this cruel fact.
While feeling regretful, I also felt even more disgusted with the royal family, a group of tigers and wolves in human skins.
"Can I practice?" Chu Feng couldn't believe it. He had always thought that he was a born waste and couldn't help but be ecstatic.
Long Chen could understand Chu Feng's mood, and he had a deep understanding of it as he was also known as a waste.
"Yes, but you have to be careful to cover your eyes and ears," Long Chen suggested. Although he knew that the two siblings were definitely careful enough, he still said that there is nothing wrong with being careful.
After sending away the excited Chu Feng, Long Chen fell into deep thought. The encounter between Chu Yao and Chu Feng reminded him of his own situation.
But I was even worse. My spiritual roots, spiritual bones, and spiritual blood were all taken away. Although the methods were different, was the purpose the same?
His father was a top expert in the Fengming Empire. Because of his father, he was crippled to avoid worries?
When she was chatting with Chu Yao last time, she mentioned a name to Long Chen - Yinghou.
The three great masters of the Fengming Empire are the Marquis of Ying, the Marquis of Wu, and Long Chen’s father, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and are known as the three pillars of Fengming.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan guarded the barbarian frontier, the Marquis of Wu guarded the southern border, and only the Marquis of Ying remained in the imperial capital.
According to Chu Yao, the cultivation of all princes and princesses was taught by Marquis Wu. At that time, Long Chen felt that there might be a big problem with Marquis Ying.
Because of Chu Yao's situation, even a layman like himself realized that she had a huge problem in her first fight. How could Yinghou, who was Fengming's top expert, not see it?
Since he knew it but said nothing, was he also involved in this matter, or even the one who did it?
If he did it, were the hands and feet on his body also done by him? What was his purpose in doing this? Did he really just cripple them? Or did they have a bigger purpose?
So many question marks were swirling in Long Chen's mind. Thinking about them gave Long Chen a splitting headache. These things were like a mess, overlapping and impossible to sort out.
"Forget it, no matter how cunning the fox is, the fox's tail will eventually show. What I need to do is to become a qualified hunter when the fox shows its tail and fangs, otherwise the end will still be bleak."
After thinking about this, Long Chen no longer struggled with these issues and returned directly to his room. He didn't even dare to go to his mother's side and went into seclusion again.
But as soon as the cyclone was activated, Long Chen jumped up from the ground and almost hit the roof.
"This is too exaggerated."
Long Chen looked at the Dantian and saw that the ten neat cyclones had stopped growing, but each cyclone reached a terrifying three feet in diameter, which really shocked Long Chen.
Compared with the original cyclone, the current cyclone is simply too scary. As the cyclone rotates slowly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pours into Fengfu Star like a tide, and the speed is hundreds of times faster than before.
Long Chen was really surprised and happy, but just after practicing for a few breaths, Long Chen realized something was wrong.
The ten cyclones were like ten huge water pipes, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, the nearby spiritual energy of heaven and earth could not satisfy the absorption of the ten cyclones and began to become thinner.
Later, when ten cyclones were opened at the same time, the amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy absorbed by one cyclone was the same, because there was only so much heaven and earth spiritual energy nearby.
"No, we have to find another place."
That night, Long Chen covered up his breath, quietly crossed the city wall, and silently left the city. He started chasing the wind and headed straight for Luoxia Mountain like a wisp of blue smoke.
Luoxia Mountain was peaceful at night, and the scenery was still the same. Although it could not be said that things had changed, it still made Long Chen feel a little emotional.
When I came here for the first time, I came with Meng Qi. Thinking of Meng Qi's peerless appearance and her gentle, watery eyes, my heart was shocked.
When he arrived for the second time, he was carried by Chu Yao in a net. It was originally a revenge, but it turned into a charming scene.
Now that Meng Qi is far away, Xian Ying is confused and doesn't know how she is doing now or whether she has forgotten him.
There was also Brother Qi Shi who almost killed him. Thinking of that idiot, Long Chen felt annoyed, as if that lofty look appeared in front of him again.
Meng Qi left, Chu Yao was placed under house arrest, and now he is left alone. This is the cruelty of reality. Living without strength is not called life, it can only be called survival.
If you want to live with dignity, you need to have matching strength. This is the reality. After taking a look at the surrounding scenery, Long Chen took a deep breath.
Sitting cross-legged on a big stone, slowly turning the cyclone. After a stick of incense, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was still not supplied.
However, the aura of heaven and earth here is more than twice as strong as at home, so the trip is not in vain.
Two days later, when a hint of fish belly white appeared in the east, there was an explosion in Long Chen's body, and he slowly opened his eyes, with a strange look on his face.
He actually condensed another cyclone, and now the number of cyclones has reached eleven, which made Long Chen sigh.
Nine Star Hegemon Body Technique, how long do you want me to stay in the Qi Gathering Realm?
Long Chen looked at the cyclone that started to grow in his body again, and couldn't help but feel happy and worried. It was still the same sentence: pain and happiness.
After returning home, Long Chen pondered for a while, then ran to the Alchemist Guild and purchased some medicinal materials.
Looking at the medicinal materials placed in the room, a look of anticipation appeared on Long Chen's face: It's time to try the new elixir fire.
