After sending Zheng Wenlong away, Long Chen was speechless when he thought of the helpless look on Zheng Wenlong's face before he left.
This guy is probably very depressed now, because after Long Chen revealed that number, Zheng Wenlong's originally cheerful face seemed to have been hit hard by a hammer. The excitement was really indescribable.
However, Zheng Wenlong said that one million mid-grade spiritual stones was simply impossible. Even he did not have the right to apply for such a large sum of money from Huayun Pavilion.
After he returned, he first raised 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones for Long Chen, and he slowly thought of ways to do the rest, hoping to fully promote the Tongmai Lingyan fruit tree and elixir recipe as soon as possible to maximize the benefits and help Long Chen in the short term.
Dust raises a fund.
Zheng Wenlong told Long Chen that although the resources Long Chen provided to Huayun Pavilion, in the long run, there would be a lot of income in the future.
But who can tell what will happen in the future? Huayunge paid Long Chen an advance share from a business perspective and saw the benefits in the next few years.
Take Danta's Bone Sacrifice Pill as an example. This was originally Danta's long-term meal ticket, but now Long Chen's Bone Sacrifice Pill came out, forcing Huayun Pavilion to grab the sales share of the Bone Sacrifice Pill.
I took away 30% of Danta’s sales.
Although it is only 30%, compared to the entire continent, it is simply a huge amount of money. However, this money cannot be recovered at once, but needs to be digested year by year.
Therefore, the advance share distributed to Long Chen by Huayun Pavilion is the profit in the next few years, and Long Chen's current demand has far exceeded this profit point, so Zheng Wenlong needs to use himself as a guarantee to withdraw from Huayun Pavilion
More funds for Long Chen.
Now Zheng Wenlong's business is getting bigger and bigger, but he finds that he is getting poorer and poorer, and he owes a lot of debt, which makes him speechless for a while.
But businessmen play this kind of heartbeat. This is a kind of game. For Zheng Wenlong, it is endless fun.
After seeing off Zheng Wenlong, Long Chen went to Guo Ran's retreat, where Guo Ran was concentrating on smelting the treasure fragments.
On the casting table, a huge furnace was running crazily. In the furnace, the fragments of the treasure were slowly melting.
Long Chen couldn't help but marvel. The origin of this casting platform was probably very terrifying. Even the fragments of the treasure could be melted.
"Crack, click, click..."
Long Chen hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a formation platform under the casting platform, densely inlaid with dozens of middle-grade spirit stones. The originally crystal clear and spiritual spirit stones all exploded into pieces.
A pile of rubble.
After those middle-grade spiritual stones exploded, the flames in the furnace began to slowly fade, and Guo Ran hurriedly replaced them with a new batch of medium-grade spiritual stones.
The old spirit stones had been thrown into the trash can. Long Chen took a look and found that there were already hundreds of corpses of mid-grade spirit stones lying inside the trash can.
Being a caster is indeed a costly profession. A fragment the size of a plate requires hundreds of mid-grade spiritual stones to be refined, which is really a rip-off.
What Long Chen didn't know was that Guo Ran owned this ancient casting platform. Otherwise, let alone Guo Ran, even all the casting masters in Xuantian Villa combined would never be able to refine a fingernail-sized one.
As for the treasure fragments, it can be said that Guo Ran’s casting platform is a very incredible treasure, but neither Long Chen nor Guo Ran knew about it.
Although Long Chen didn't know that the Forging Platform was incredible, Long Chen knew that the Forging Platform's ability to burn money was equally incredible.
Seeing Guo Ran staring at the piece of melted material with all his concentration, Guo Ran entered another state at this time, forgetting both things and myself, feeling neither joy nor sorrow. He only had that piece of material in his eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't help, Long Chen simply exited the secret room and closed the door to prevent anyone from disturbing Guo Ran.
When she returned to her residence, she found Meng Qi muttering something to Xiao Xue. When Long Chen arrived, Meng Qi's pretty face turned red and she stood up.
"Is there any movement over Wan'er?" Long Chen asked.
"Not yet, but Wan'er's fluctuations are becoming more and more stable. It's just a matter of time before the Tiandao Fruit is refined," Meng Qi said with a smile.
"That's good, Meng Qi. When I get the next Heavenly Dao Fruit, you can become a Skywalker right away." Long Chen took Meng Qi's hand and comforted her.
Meng Qi smiled slightly, a hint of joking flashed through her beautiful eyes: "What? Are you afraid that I will make Wan'er jealous?"
"No, no, absolutely not, I just feel a little sorry for you," Long Chen said quickly.
"Long Chen, you have nothing to do with us, you have paid enough for us, we all understand.
We are all practitioners, not ordinary women. There are countless disasters on the path of cultivation. We must cherish everyone around us, right?" Meng Qi said softly.
"Meng Qi, when you say this, I feel a little uncomfortable. I feel that you are very confused and helpless about the future." Long Chen said apologetically.
"This is not confusion and helplessness, this is an attitude. Our gathering together is a kind of fate. Don't wait until the fate is over before you regret it.
On the road of spiritual practice, I depend on my son, and I will never regret it even if I die. I just hope that no matter when, we can be together. We... we... don't want to experience what happened last time."
Speaking of which, her voice was already choked with sobs. Tears streamed down from Meng Qi's beautiful eyes. She hugged Long Chen with all her strength and sobbed softly in Long Chen's arms.
Meng Qi has a tactful personality and does not express her emotions easily. This time when she was alone with Long Chen, she finally poured out her heart.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Long Chen hugged Meng Qi's fragrant body, and his heart was full of guilt. During the time when Long Chen disappeared, Meng Qi and Tang Waner were crying all day long, and their hearts were full of tears. It was really difficult for them.
"Long Chen, promise me, even if we die, we will die together. We won't be separated. The pain is really terrible." Meng Qi hugged Long Chen hard, as if she was afraid that Long Chen would fly away.
The sound is sad.
"Well, I listen to you"
Long Chen knew that no matter how many oaths or explanations he made at this time, this sentence was the most realistic.
Sure enough, after Long Chen said these words, Meng Qi was immediately overjoyed, and a touching smile appeared on her cheeks, like a hibiscus emerging from the water, still stained with rain and dew, and extremely beautiful.
"Mengqi, you are so beautiful," Long Chen couldn't help but said.
Hearing Long Chen's praise, Meng Qi's pretty face took on a blush, which made her beauty even more beautiful. She said softly: "It seems that I have known you for so long, except for that time at Luoxia Mountain next to the imperial capital, you have never praised me.
"
"This is not a boast, but the truth. In my heart, you are a noble immortal descended to earth. Every time I am in front of you, I feel a little ashamed of myself. I feel that talking to you is a kind of blasphemy," Long Chen sighed.
"You're disgusting, you are so glib. You deceive other sisters the same way, right?" Meng Qi's jade hand gently scraped Long Chen's face a few times, intending to embarrass Long Chen.
When Meng Qi's jade hand caressed his cheek, it was like warm jade caressing his heart, making Long Chen feel as if metal bones were soft. Long Chen couldn't help but kiss Meng Qi's jade hand.
Meng Qi hurriedly took her hand back as if she had been electrocuted. Her pretty face was covered with red clouds, and even her little ears, as shiny as jade, were red.
"This is your punishment for talking nonsense." Long Chen looked at the somewhat flustered Meng Qi and couldn't help laughing.
"You...I'm not wrong, that's how you deceived other sisters." Meng Qi didn't dare to look at Long Chen and lowered her head.
"No, Chu Yao and I are friends in times of need, and Tang Wan'er, between us... hehe, how should I put it, we should be considered happy enemies.
In fact, I also want to have a good talk with her, but I always feel that it is boring. I like to see Wan'er furious." Long Chen said with a smile.
"You make Wan'er so angry that she wants to bite you every time. In fact, Wan'er is a very gentle woman," Meng Qi said helplessly.
"Wenwan? It seems that this word has nothing to do with her. How come I didn't notice it after being with her for so long?" Long Chen didn't believe it.
"You're not teasing her on purpose. In her words, if I give you three points of color, you'll have to dye your bedroom. It's typical to not dye your bedroom for three days, and it'll be uncomfortable if you don't dye it for five days." Meng Qi helped Tang Wan'er.
.
"I actually have such advantages? Even I don't know it myself!" Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"You, be nice to Wan'er. Although she looks fierce, she really cares about you," Meng Qi advised.
"Then you feel sorry for me?" Long Chen suddenly said with a bad smile.
"I don't feel bad because you are too bad," Meng Qi said angrily.
"Why?" Long Chen was surprised.
"Humph, because you are too carefree and like to mess around with women. What's the use of our feeling sorry for you?" Meng Qi said lightly.
After hearing this, Long Chen also fell silent.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't speak, Meng Qi thought that Long Chen was angry, so she took Long Chen's hand and said, "Long Chen, what I just said was angry, don't be angry."
"I'm not that stingy. In fact, I do have some problems. When it comes to emotional issues, I..."
Meng Qi covered Long Chen's mouth with her hand: "Long Chen, you don't need to explain. Since we have chosen to be with you, we have never thought of possessing all your feelings alone.
When Wan'er interrogated you that day, it was actually not that she was really jealous, but that Long Chen, you had a wild spirit of fighting against the sky and the earth.
It is a kind of wildness that comes from the bottom of our bones. For us women, it is a fatal temptation. Even though we know it is very dangerous, we still can't help but find out.
But what's even more deadly is that Long Chen, you value relationships too much and will be responsible for everyone who likes you.
Whether you are a confidante or a passionate brother, you can fight for them, which is why we will stay by your side without regrets. This is your charm.
But do you know? You are a human being, not a god. If you carry too many emotions, it means you are carrying endless baggage.
When Ye Zhiqiu and Lu Fanger died, your heartbroken look deeply hurt our hearts. At that moment, we knew that we would never be able to leave you.
But we don’t want to see you look so sad again, because we will also feel pain in our hearts, so we don’t want you to incur love debt.
It’s not that we ate something wrong, but that we are afraid that you will encounter pain again. Again, you are a human being, not a god, and you cannot guarantee that everyone around you will never fall.
And the fewer of us there are, the lower the chance of falling, and the lower the chance of you being sad, Long Chen, do you understand?" Meng Qi stroked Long Chen's cheek affectionately and said.
"I understand." Long Chen nodded, he understood Meng Qi's good intentions.
"Okay, tell me, how many confidantes do you have outside?" Meng Qi suddenly changed her tone and looked into Long Chen's eyes.
