The person who came was none other than Zhou Yaoyang, who was almost beaten to pieces by Long Chen. Long Chen had to admire the warrior's vitality.
He was almost smashed into a piece of paper last time, but now he is like a normal person. It seems that the Zhou family spent a lot of money on this child.
The last time Zhou Yaoyang was thrown by Long Chen, almost no bones in his body were in good condition. It took a large amount of gold coins to bring him back from hell.
Even with the financial resources of the Zhou family, this time is considered to be a strain. Zhou Yaoyang came here today because he wanted to ask for a few more pills to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the Yuan.
After all, he is very weak now, and after sleeping until midnight, he will start to have hallucinations, and there will be countless ghosts haunting him, which scares him so much that he dare not turn off the light and sleep at night.
And every morning, he would feel the pain in his soul, like tens of thousands of steel needles pricking him, and he would roll on the floor in pain.
However, the pharmacists from the Alchemist Guild checked several times, but they didn't give a clear explanation. They only said that it was probably due to a weak body, which led to the invasion of dampness. They could only find a way to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality.
But half a month has passed, and there is no improvement at all. On the contrary, it is getting worse. Even if he doesn't sleep at night, Zhou Yaoyang will see countless ghosts threatening their lives.
But in the early morning, his soul was no longer pricked by needles, but roasted by fire. The pain was so painful that he was worse than dead. Today, Zhou Yaoyang is as skinny as a stick, his face is yellow, and he is no longer as handsome as before.
"Zhou Yaoyang, long time no see, how are you doing?" Long Chen, with a smile blessed by heavenly officials, raised his hand to greet him cordially from afar.
Zhou Yaoyang, who was already a little distraught, suddenly saw Long Chen, as if he had seen a ghost, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Long Chen...you...what do you want?"
"Your expression makes me very embarrassed. I just care about you and want to ask you, how does it feel when a ghost threatens your life at night and when your soul is roasted in the morning?" Long Chen shook his head.
"You...you...how do you know? Could it be that...it's you?" Zhou Yaoyang's eyes were filled with fear.
He suddenly remembered that Long Chen had given him a pill after throwing him unconscious that day.
According to the alchemist, the pill was an organ-protecting elixir that could prevent him from dying of organ failure in a short period of time.
But Zhou Yaoyang always felt that something was wrong. When Long Chen said this today, he immediately thought of the pill, and he suddenly realized it.
"Long Chen, it must be you. You are harming me. You are so despicable." Zhou Yaoyang's eyes were full of resentment.
Thinking about the torture he had suffered these past few days, he couldn't help but feel jealous and roared at Long Chen.
"Snapped"
A slap was slapped on his face, the force was not strong, it just knocked him away, but did not kill him.
"Despicable? You say that, how dare I take it for granted? No matter how despicable I am, I am still not one percent as good as you. How many despicable methods have you used to deal with me over the years?"
Long Chen raised his hand slightly and said calmly: "I'm afraid you don't even remember it. If you go out to fool around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
Now that I, Long Chen, have turned over, if I don’t repay you well, how can I deal with you?”
The slap on the face made Zhou Yaoyang sober up a lot. He had been recovering from his injuries these days, but he did not give up his attention to Long Chen.
A few days ago, Long Chen shocked the entire imperial capital by defeating one of the bodyguards of the Prince of Daxia. He was an out-and-out strong man in the Blood Coagulation Realm.
Now in terms of force, Zhou Yaoyang is no match for Long Chen. In terms of status, Long Chen is a noble alchemy disciple, let alone something he can compare with.
Thinking of the pharmacist's words, he couldn't help but suspect that the pharmacist knew clearly what Long Chen had done, but still refused to cure him, leaving him to suffer in vain. For a moment, his teeth itched with hatred.
But what he didn't know was that he mistakenly blamed the pharmacist. The elixir refined by Long Chen was coated with soul-chasing liquid, and no one except Master Yunqi could find out.
Obviously, Manhuang Hou is not qualified to invite Master Yunqi, let alone him, not even the prince.
"Long Chen, what do you want to do before you let me go?" Zhou Yaoyang said through gritted teeth.
"Zhou Yaoyang, why are you so spineless? I have been tortured by you for so many years and I have never surrendered.
Now it's my turn to fight back, why do you have to admit defeat, it's so boring, you must abide by the rules of the game," Long Chen said calmly, and turned around to leave.
"Long Chen, are you really unwilling to let me go?"
"If you want to escape from the sea of suffering, it's very simple. You have a sword in your hand. Just put it on your neck and it will only hurt. Then you will be happy. Why do you need to ask me?"
Zhou Yaoyang was so angry that he was shaking all over. When the ghost was asking for his life and his soul was being burned, he really thought about using death to find relief.
But as soon as that time passed, he immediately became a normal person and was full of attachment to life, making him unable to give up a good life.
Life is not good, death is unaffordable, Zhou Yaoyang is about to collapse, he does not have the courage to commit suicide, but if this continues, he will soon go crazy.
"Plop"
Zhou Yaoyang gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground.
"Long Chen, please let me go, I give up."
Looking at Zhou Yaoyang who was kneeling on the ground, to be honest, Long Chen's hatred was no longer that strong. The height that Long Chen was standing at was no longer on the same level as Zhou Yaoyang. He didn't care about a little shrimp.
.
However, Long Chen would not be a bad person who repays evil with kindness, but seeing Zhou Yaoyang's current miserable state, the hatred in his heart also diminished a lot.
Just when Long Chen planned to learn something from him, he just reached out to touch the ring. Suddenly, Long Chen's soul power noticed Zhou Yaoyang's secretly clenched hands and the resentment revealed in the corner of his eyes.
Long Chen pondered for a moment, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He touched the ring and a pill appeared. He threw it directly to Zhou Yaoyang and said:
"I'll give you this pill. I hope you won't be my enemy in the future, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." After throwing the pill to Zhou Yaoyang, Long Chen turned and left.
Zhou Yaoyang took the pills and didn't stand up from the ground until Long Chen walked away. He looked at Long Chen's retreating back and narrowed his eyes.
"Long Chen, if I don't let you die without a burial place, I won't call you Zhou Yaoyang."
He was not worried that Long Chen would poison him to death, because many people in the distance had seen the scene just now. If he was poisoned to death by this pill, Long Chen would not be able to get away with it, so he took the pill with confidence.
.
What surprised Zhou Yaoyang the next day was that after he took the pill, he no longer had terrible dreams at night, and no longer had to suffer the pain of his soul being burned in the morning.
Zhou Yaoyang sneered in his heart: Long Chen, just wait for me. When I take action again, I will directly kill you. At that time, you will be the one regretting it.
When Long Chen saw Zhou Yaoyang taking the pill, he also had a sneer on his lips: You really brought it upon yourself to make a living. I originally wanted to spare your life, but it's a pity that you wanted to die.
"Brother Long?"
As Long Chen was walking, a voice suddenly stopped him.
Turning around, he saw that it was Fatty Yu. Long Chen discovered that Fatty Yu had actually entered the third level of Qi Condensation. Because he had started practicing, his huge figure actually seemed to have a burly temperament.
"Fat man, it's okay, he's already entered the third level of Qi Gathering," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Hey, this is all your blessing, Brother Tuolong." Fatty Yu said a little shyly: "Brother Long, I just wanted to visit your house."
"Is something wrong?"
"No, little brother, I have broken through to the third heaven. I have to celebrate, don't you see? Shi Feng has already organized a banquet, so I can't be too shabby, right?" Fatty Yu said.
"I have been promoted to the Blood Coagulation Realm. You are only at the third level. Do you deserve to be so solemn?" Long Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Ahem, that's different. I couldn't practice before. The level of surprise is definitely no worse than Shi Feng's," Fatty Yu said very seriously.
"Okay, if someone offers you a drink, normally I won't refuse. Let's go."
"Hey, okay, I've already booked the banquet, I'm just missing you."
The restaurant Yu Fatty mentioned is located in the south of the city. Although it is not as famous as Juying Tower, it is not much different.
When Long Chen arrived, as expected from Fatty Yu, Shi Feng, Monkey and others were already here.
"Haha, Brother Long, you are finally here."
Long Chen also laughed, said hello to everyone, and immediately took his seat. After a while, the food and wine were already filled.
"Today, in order to celebrate that I, Yu Fatty, have been promoted to the third level of Qi Gathering, and have stepped onto the threshold of the path of spiritual practice, opening up a bright future, I would like to drink this first cup, Brother Long."
Everyone said yes, it was because of Long Chen that everyone here changed their destiny. It can be said that Long Chen is the noble person in their lives.
Long Chen was not polite, picked up a large bowl of wine and drank it down directly.
We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be so restrained and drink as much as we want. However, except for Shi Feng and Fatty Yu, the others are all just gathering energy. Their arrogance is not low, but their drinking capacity is not high.
After a few bowls, my mouth started to feel a bit uneasy.
"Brother Long, for such a powerful and heroic figure like you, we are wondering what kind of woman would be worthy of you," one person said with the help of wine.
Before Long Chen could reply, the monkey next to him said: "Hey, it goes without saying that she must at least have the status of a princess.
As for appearance, it must be like a fish sinking before a wild goose, a woman shy of a moonlit moon.
As for cultivation? It doesn’t matter. No one dares to bully Brother Long anyway. Even the prince of Daxia, Brother Long doesn’t like him, so my sister-in-law doesn’t need to be so strong in the future, haha.”
"That's right. I think the only one in our Fengming Empire who meets this standard is the third princess," Fatty Yu said with his eyes shining.
"I have met the third princess. Although she is beautiful, she has a terrible temper that ordinary people cannot subdue." One person sighed.
"Tsk, that's because she hasn't met Brother Long yet. If she meets Brother Long, even a tiger will turn into a kitten."
Long Chen was speechless for a while, why did he go astray while talking, but when they mentioned the third princess, Chu Yao's beautiful face appeared in Long Chen's mind.
I couldn't help but feel pity in my heart. Chu Yao was actually a gentle and pleasant woman, but in order to protect herself, she had to act arrogant.
Thinking about the period of dating her, I couldn't help but feel a warm current in my heart. At the same time, I felt a little embarrassed. Did I feel sorry for Meng Qi?
While Long Chen was thinking, suddenly a woman's sneer came:
"The bold pariah is so whimsical. The third princess is also something you can discuss?"
