“elder long, long chen, he... he and ye qian...!” the vice commander hastily ran into a large palace and tried to make a report. however, halfway through he realized that the deputy elder was present as well. he hastily bowed. “disciple greets the deputy elder.”

the deputy elder and elder long looked at the vice commander. the deputy elder said, “we already know. you can go.”

“yes.” the vice commander withdrew.

elder long sighed. “long chen’s fate truly is strange. he somehow manages to surround himself with enemies without even trying. do we need to take action this time?”

the deputy elder shook his head. “this isn’t the underlying flow of fate. this was arranged by someone.”

there was a chessboard between the two of them. it was currently displaying the scene of long chen grabbing ye qian’s throat. lightning continued to flicker around him.

“someone arranged it? you mean...?”

“yes. it was them. we don’t need to worry about it. someone else will come out.”

...

the one to attack long chen just now was ye yaochen. however, today, his face wasn’t as dark as before. although his hair was still white, his face looked much younger.

if long chen hadn’t noticed his aura, he wouldn’t have recognized him. just now he had tried to use a spiritual attack against long chen, and he had used his lightning to block it.

with ye qian in his hand, long chen looked coldly at ye yaochen. fortunately, his spiritual strength was strong enough to sense ye yaochen’s sneak attack.

“long chen, release ye qian. that is the only way you’ll live to see tomorrow,” shouted ye yaochen.

although that was what he said, long chen heard some well hidden delight in his voice. his anger was a cover for himself.

“i don’t believe that doing so is my only way to live. your words are just like a fart. i can’t be bothered to even listen. i’m going to wait here for someone with actual authority to come,” sneered long chen.

just at this moment, the crowd parted, and a group of elders in golden robes walked in. their leader was a white-haired elder.

upon seeing that elder, ye yaochen bowed. “senior pill doyen, this matter has actually disturbed you.”

“the body is the furnace, life is the flame. the dao is contained within the palm. senior is truly a behemoth of the pill dao. i apologize for my earlier rudeness.” long chen was moved. he bowed toward the pill doyen respectfully.

the pill doyen’s hand was like that because he had used his body as the furnace and burned his very life to give birth to medicinal pills. his hand had been burned by countless flames.

it could be said that someone who was capable of doing such a thing was not simply pursuing higher realms. such a person was someone who viewed alchemy as a kind of belief, a belief that was even more sacred than their life.

alchemy was a grand profession, but the majority of alchemists were only after status and wealth. this profession in particular easily twisted people’s original hearts. that resulted in most alchemists being extremely arrogant.

however, someone who was able to view alchemy as even more important than their own life was definitely worthy of respect, especially from another alchemist like long chen.

the pill doyen was surprised that long chen could instantly see through this. within the entire history of the divine pill hall, he had been the only one to reach this step. even the elders of the current divine pill division didn’t know why his hand was like this.

“you really are a master of the pill dao. you instantly saw through me. that’s very admirable,” praised the pill doyen.

most importantly, despite being so young, long chen was not only capable of instantly capturing ye qian to show off his domineering side, but he was also able to instantly recognize his hand and put away his arrogance.

“you also know how to refine pills?” ye qian was enraged inside to hear this praise. he had thought that the pill doyen had come here for him, but now it seemed that he had just lost his face.

“i wouldn’t dare to say such a thing. i just have a slight understanding,” said long chen. he smiled faintly, already knowing what he had to say.

as expected, ye qian sneered, “i hear that you secretly learned the alchemy arts of pill valley? even pill valley’s representative was defeated by me in alchemy. do you have the guts to compete with me? i’d guess that you don’t.”

“your guess is correct. i don’t have those guts.” long chen turned away from ye qian to the pill doyen. “junior still has to buy some things. will this matter affect my shopping?”

“of course not,” said the pill doyen.

“then junior will say goodbye.”

long chen pulled wan qing away to buy the ingredients he wanted, enraging ye qian.

“coward!”

long chen acted like he didn’t hear. he began perusing the various wares.

ye qian suddenly shouted, “do you want to have a gamble? if you beat me, i’ll give you all my wealth. do you dare?!”

long chen’s eyes instantly brightened. he turned back. “then can i ask how much money you have?”
