bang!

an explosive noise rang out, causing everyone to become completely dumbfounded. no one had noticed how, but at some point, long chen had appeared right in front of li hao just like a demon. this was due to his windchasing steps. this technique increased his speed to the max, especially in close range, and the explosiveness was something that was impossible to guard against.

li hao’s two claws hit nothing while long chen’s leg viciously kicked out and hit him between the legs with such a ferocious force that his whole body was lifted into mid-air.

after the explosive noise passed, a little ball flew out of li hao’s trousers and was flung towards the crowd.

wang mang was still imagining li hao tormenting long chen and making long chen suffer a life worse than death. but the current situation completely shattered this delusion of his, and his jaw dropped, dumbstricken.

he was completely oblivious to a small, grape-sized thing that was now flying towards his mouth. by the time he noticed it, the thing had already entered into his open mouth.

before he could even react, that slippery thing passed through his throat into his stomach, bringing with it a grotesque, foul smell.

“ahh!”

only now did wang mang react and desperately began using a finger to dig at his throat, causing him to vomit. after a while, a small ball was vomited out.

when zhou yaoyang and the rest of the people beside him saw that ball, they also started retching, swiftly scattering away from it.

“ahh!!!”

on the martial arena, li hao was tenaciously holding onto his crotch, his face twitching and contorting. if he hadn’t set up his spiritual qi to protect himself, he would have long since lost consciousness from the pain.

for a moment, the whole audience was completely silent. everyone’s eyes roved from li hao on the stage to the distant round thing on the ground, and their expressions became extremely odd.

“this is good for you. now you’ll be able to walk without slanting and tripping,” long chen said, nodding his head.

“you...!”

li hao’s furiously glared at him, wanting to tear him apart. his last family jewel was stripped off him, and now that it had entered wang mang’s stomach, it had already been corroded to the point that even if he collected it, he wouldn’t be able to use it.

one was taken away by a wild dog while one was no longer usable; li hao was now destined to become a sterile person incapable of reproducing.

“you fucker, go die! stone crushing fist!”

li hao crazily roared, forcefully circulating his spiritual qi to restrain the pain coming from his lower body. his fist shot towards long chen, the wind whistling as it passed.

the full power of his third heavenstage of qi condensation cultivation base exploded out. by now, he had already descended into madness and completely forgotten about zhou yaoyang’s instructions. the only thing on his mind was to completely destroy long chen.

seeing li hao became completely berserk, a cold killing intent appeared within long chen’s eyes. he roared, the sound like violent thunder capable of shocking the sky, blasted the surrounding people’s ears.

an incorporeal aura engulfed long chen. not taking any actions to avoid it, he also attacked with a fist.

“spirit of the bull!”

boom!!!

an explosion was followed by the sound of bones breaking. li hao let out a miserable scream, his blood flying everywhere. people were shocked and horrified to see that one of li hao’s arms had been completely crushed.

long chen was still resting in his punching position. his eyes were icy cold and completely apathetic. a terrifying killing intent spilled out from him, shaking people’s souls.

the current long chen seemed like a cold-blooded death god. his whole body brimming with an icy cold killing intent that caused everyone to tremble in fear.

the whole crowd was deathly still. the amount of power that he had released just now was something that even zhou yaoyang at the seventh heavenstage of qi condensation felt somewhat afraid of.

“how is this possible?! he can use battle skills?”

“isn’t it impossible for him to cultivate? what the hell is happening?”

“it seems like it’s very complicated...”

but staring at the three million gold coins in his hand, long chen was filled with endless confidence. was that the confidence that came with being rich?

leaving with the huge crowd, long chen found a teahouse and invited his friends to eat whatever they wanted and returned them their money.

however, the money that had been earned was kept with him. long chen gave his friends a promise that caused them to be endlessly excited:

everyone’s future cultivation would all be taken care of by him.

this caused fatty yu and the others to go mad with joy. they were all completely incapable of cultivating, and if someone else promised this to them, then they wouldn’t believe it.

however, long chen was originally the same as them. now that he had managed to dispatch li hao in such a quick way, how could they not believe him?

hearing long chen promise this, everyone was overjoyed. however, long chen told them to keep this secret, and they all frantically nodded.

their future cultivation was something that was basically just as important as their life, and adding on to how solemn long chen’s words were, they would not dare to treat it unimportantly.

after fatty yu and the others left, long chen stayed behind to chat a bit with shi feng. shi feng was a genius whose aptitude was the greatest amongst all the noble heirs. he was already at the eighth heavenstage of qi condensation and could enter into the ninth heavenstage at any time. entering the blood condensation stage before twenty should not be that difficult for him.

through how shi feng had acted during these last two matters, long chen knew that he was definitely a person deserving his trust. after asking about shi feng’s current stage of cultivation, long chen split up with him and went directly to the alchemist guild.

the alchemist guild was in the south part of the imperial capital. it was the most sacred part of the entire imperial capital. not even members of the royal family would dare to be rude towards the members of the alchemist guild.

alchemist guilds were said to be spread throughout the entire world, and as for the guild in the imperial capital, it was nothing more than one of their branches.

what long chen needed to get this time was an alchemist’s official identification. having that status would mean that in the future, it would be extremely easy and convenient for him to do what he wanted.

no matter where you went, alchemists were an extremely scarce occupation. with this identification, long chen’s status would no longer be the same. even the phoenix cry empire would have to think carefully before they would act against him.

the most important thing was that he could use an extremely favorable price and get a preferential treatment when buying the alchemist guild’s rare ingredients, letting him save the maximum amount of money.

although the alchemist guild only took up a few tens of acres of ground, it rose dozens of meters into the air, making it extremely imposing and causing people to revere it.

entering the lobby, two maids received long chen. they were surprised when they heard that he wanted to take the examination for an alchemist identification.

after all, long chen appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he didn’t have any fluctuations of a cultivation base. however, the two of them still brought him into the refining hall.

at this time, the refining hall only had a dozen or so men inside. they were currently urging on their pill flames, appearing to be refining medicines.

“huh? why are you here?”

just as long chen entered, an old man asked with an astonished expression.

when he saw that person, long chen’s heart erupted with a concealed anger. that old man was precisely the one who had treated his wounds. this person had clearly known that his injury had been no big deal, but by saying that he could possibly lose his memory, he managed to con his mother into selling her jewelry.

“i came here to take the alchemist exam.” long chen calmed the anger in his heart. he’d pay back the bill to this old man later.

“alchemist exam?” the old man examined long chen from top to bottom. “looks like your wounds from last time still aren’t healed. you should go back and heal them.”

long chen frowned slightly and insisted, “i really am here to take the alchemist exam.”

the old man’s expression sunk. “i don’t have time to waste on a little kid! hurry up and beat it! otherwise, i’ll get the guards to throw you out!”

long chen’s anger once again exploded. glaring at the old man he shouted, “if your ears aren’t completely deaf yet, then i’ll repeat myself one more time: i am here to take the alchemist exam!”

by the end, long chen’s shout was already a roar that reverberated through the entire alchemist guild.

“what person is making such a loud ruckus?”

suddenly, a thin old man walked over with a displeased expression. when long chen turned his eyes and saw him, a naughty grin appeared on the corner of his mouth.
