p In the Fengming Empire, martial arts prevailed and battles were inevitable, so outside the imperial capital, there was a platform of life and death, where personal grievances were settled./p
pHere, as long as both parties agree and sign the life and death contract, once in the ring, even if they kill the other party, they will not be sanctioned by the empire's laws./p
pOn weekdays, there are countless spectators here, and there are also many today. However, after the decisive battles ended, when the two young men came on stage, there was a commotion below./p
p "Isn't that person Long Chen? Why is he here again?"/p
p "Yes, I was almost beaten to death yesterday, why are you here again today?"/p
p "Humph, I guess I don't want to live anymore, I want to be beaten to death by others here"/p
pLong Tianxiao is honored as the Marquis of Zhenyuan and is known as the military god of the generation. However, the people who really call him the military god are the poor people who have been tortured by war all year round./p
pIn the Imperial Capital, these people who are either rich or noble, live in a peaceful and prosperous age, and do not take Long Tianxiao, who was born as a commoner, in their eyes, so for Long Chen, not many people in the entire Imperial Capital think highly of him./p
p "Long Chen, you loser, why are you here again? Isn't this just a waste of time? Who wants to watch you compete, just get out of here"/p
p "That is, if you want to commit suicide, find a place where no one is around. No one wants to see a waste. It is such a waste of time."/p
pAt one time, hundreds of people watching the fun in the audience could not help but curse loudly, obviously very disgusted with Long Chen./p
pBut in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, two girls with veils were looking intently at the figure on the stage./p
p "Sister, that is your fiancé? Why does he look so bad? There is no fluctuation in his body at all." A girl said with some disappointment./p
p "Humph, it's not my father who made his own decision. He married me on the fingertips of my body back then. I'm really angry." Another girl said extremely angrily./p
pOn the arena, Long Chen had no idea that two girls were peeping at them, and he didn't react at all to the shouts and curses, and just looked at Li Hao indifferently./p
pLi Hao pointed at the commotion crowd and sneered: "Did you see that, you are just an unpopular waste, the wiser one should just hit him to death"/p
pLong Chen just looked at him indifferently and said nothing./p
p "when"/p
p A bell rings, which is the signal for the duel to begin. When the bell rings, life or death is on the line./p
pThe originally noisy crowd fell silent because of the ringing of the bell. After all, it was a life and death battle, and someone might lose their life at some point./p
p "Sister, your fiancé has no cultivation at all. He is facing a guy from the third level of Qi Gathering. Aren't you worried?" the woman asked./p
p "Huh, what's there to worry about? If you're dead, don't worry about me." Another girl snorted lightly, but as she spoke, a very strange silk screen appeared in her hand.
./p
p "Hehe, he said he didn't care. He even prepared weapons. It seems that you still care about him. But don't say it. Although his cultivation is too useless, he is really good-looking. Otherwise, sister, you don't want to
Give it to him," the woman said with a smile./p
p "Nonsense, can this kind of thing be done casually? If you like him, you can wait until I break off the engagement with him and do whatever you want," another woman said angrily./p
p"heehee"/p
pLong Chen is always as calm as water in the arena. He is completely different from the one who was gnashing his teeth yesterday./p
p "Long Chen, did you calm down when you were about to die? Don't worry, considering your bet, I won't beat you to death today." Li Hao said with a proud look./p
p "There's so much nonsense, hurry up and do something, I'll have something to do later" Long Chen said impatiently./p
pBecause the whole place was quiet, Long Chen's words reached everyone's ears word for word, and in an instant, the entire arena burst into laughter./p
p "Li Hao, what are you waiting for? Hurry and beat this bastard to death. It's really disgusting to us."/p
pSomeone knew Li Hao and shouted on the spot./p
p A sneer appeared on Li Hao's face. He no longer hesitated. All his strength belonging to the third level of Qi Gathering exploded. When his feet were a little bit on the ring, he had already pounced on Long Chen and punched out./p
pAs soon as Li Hao attacked, a burst of cheers erupted from the audience. Li Hao's posture was very beautiful and handsome./p
p "What a move, Linfeng Yushu Fist"/p
pSomeone recognized this move, but the two women in the distance secretly pouted, with a hint of ridicule appearing on the corners of their mouths./p
pLong Chen also had a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: Can such idiotic tricks that are full of loopholes be used against the enemy?/p
p saw a punch hitting his face, and the strong wind howled, but Long Chen ignored it and remained motionless./p
p "Haha, this loser can't even hide." Someone in the audience mocked./p
pBut just as he finished shouting his taunt, Li Hao's fist stopped three inches in front of Long Chen's face, motionless./p
pThose who had been taunting suddenly became silent. They found that one of Long Chen's legs stretched out and kicked Li Hao's legs hard with the sole of his foot./p
pLi Hao, who was originally full of youthfulness and elegant, now looked like a purple eggplant. It was obvious that Long Chen's kick made him uncomfortable. The severe pain made his face distorted and he could not move at all./p
p He couldn't move, but Long Chen could. At the moment when he paused, Long Chen grabbed Li Hao's hair with both hands and pushed it back hard, while knocking out his strong knees./p
p"Bang bang bang"/p
pLong Chen’s movements are very pleasing to the eye, with clear paragraphs. The movements and sounds give people an extremely strong visual impact and a bright sense of rhythm./p
p A heart-breaking sound of bone cracking was heard, and Li Hao received three heavy blows in a row. The bridge of his nose had collapsed and deformed, his face was covered in blood, and he had already passed out./p
pFor a moment, the entire venue fell into silence. No one expected that a strong man of the third level of the Qi Gathering Realm would be defeated so quickly by a waste without any cultivation./p
pAnd he was defeated in the cleanest and neatest way. This result was like a hard slap in the face of the clamoring people./p
pEven the two girls who secretly watched the battle from a distance had a look of astonishment on their faces. That Li Hao was nothing in front of them, but he could be killed with a wave of his hand./p
pBut Long Chen is different. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t use any spiritual energy. He defeated Li Hao completely with a mortal’s fighting style./p
p"Long Chen wins"/p
pA voice came from the audience. It was an old man who presided over the ring and was responsible for registration and announcements./p
pLong Chen's chest rose and fell sharply several times. He used great perseverance to suppress the murderous intention in his heart. Now is not a good time to kill./p
pIt's just that it has been suppressed for too long, and it burst out all at once, and it is difficult to take it back. From the outside, they thought Long Chen was so excited that his hands and feet lost strength, and he was panting like crazy./p
pLong Chen stepped off the stage, walked to the old man, took back his long sword, and got a crystal card worth 5,000 gold coins./p
pThe rule here is that before the game, the bet must be handed over to the referee to show fairness, which also eliminates the possibility of going back on it./p
pAfter getting the sword, Long Chen directly returned it to Shi Feng, and put the crystal card into his arms, feeling a little excited./p
pAlthough five thousand gold coins is not much, it can solve some urgent needs. The above authorities have been deducting the Long family’s salary for a long time, and now the Long family is really close to being unable to untie the pot./p
pWith countless people watching, the two slowly left. The two girls, seeing Long Chen leaving, also disappeared./p
pThe news that Long Chen defeated Li Hao spread throughout the entire imperial capital as if he had grown legs, leaving countless people puzzled. How could a waste who couldn't practice martial arts suddenly become powerful?/p
pHowever, countless people witnessed it with their own eyes, and the news spread that Li Hao was carried back to his home. For a while, many people couldn't accept it./p
pAfter Long Chen and Shi Feng left, Long Chen wanted to share the spoils with Shi Feng, but Shi Feng refused. In the end, he excused himself as having something to do and went back without even asking why Long Chen suddenly became stronger./p
p Keeping this favor in mind, Long Chen went straight to Baicao Hall. After entering Baicao Hall, Long Chen asked for a catalog of medicinal materials here./p
pThe names and prices of various medicinal materials were clearly recorded on it. Long Chen saw most of the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan. Fortunately, the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan were not particularly rare./p
pBut seeing the price above, Long Chen's heart was bleeding. His gold coins were only enough to buy three materials./p
pBut he can't buy all the materials. He also needs to buy an alchemy cauldron and some other spare medicinal materials. The few gold coins in his hand are just a drop in the bucket./p
p But it was impossible not to buy it. Long Chen gritted his teeth and spent one thousand two hundred gold coins to buy a bronze cauldron of the lowest quality./p
p bought another batch of medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan, and also bought a large amount of medicinal materials for refining Huiqi Powder. When Long Chen came out of Baicaotang, he only had 500 gold coins on his crystal card./p
pAfter returning home, Long Chen went straight to his room, locked the door tightly, and asked Bao'er to inform everyone not to disturb him./p
p He knew that his mother would definitely know that he was going to compete again. He was afraid that her mother would be worried, so he deliberately asked Bao'er to block his mother. Since he was fine, his mother should not be too worried./p
pNow he is fighting against every second and must quickly improve his strength. The current predicament of the Long family is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Long Chen smells a sense of crisis./p
p "call"/p
pThe spiritual energy in Long Chen's body was circulating, and a ball of flame appeared in the palm of his hand. This was the alchemy fire condensed by the alchemist. However, seeing the ball of flame made Long Chen dumbfounded. This ball of flame was too weak./p
p Dan fire is the spiritual fire that the alchemist condenses with his own spiritual energy through a unique operation method. However, the Dan fire condensed by Long Chen now has a very low temperature and is not much stronger than ordinary ordinary fire./p
pAnd Long Chen discovered that without the support of Dantian, his Danhuo could not last for a quarter of an hour, which was far from enough time to refine the elixir./p
pLong Chen smiled bitterly, but fortunately he had a backup plan. Long Chen did not refine the elixir. He first put the medicinal materials of Hui Qi Powder into the cauldron and refined them one by one. However, he did not use elixir fire, but used wood.
Fire./p
pAfter all the medicinal materials were refined, a whole jar of Qi Recovery Liquid appeared beside Long Chen. After taking a short rest, Long Chen took a deep breath:/p
pIt’s time to officially start refining the Fengfu Pill./p
