Chapter 282

"Long Chen, if you're tricking me again, I'll definitely kill you!"

At this time, Elder Sun's eyes were completely red and he looked incredibly gloomy . He almost looked like a corpse that had been revived due to his unresolved resentment .

Long Chen had only listed seven ingredients for him to find this time, and one of those, the Qilin Fruit, had been removed .

But those remaining six ingredients were incredibly ancient, ingredients that were rarely seen . Even the Xuantian Supermonastery, a sect that had existed for tens of thousands of years, only had a small amount of them .

And due to how few they had, the price was incredibly high . Those six types of ingredients had cost pretty much the same as the ones on the last list .

Elder Sun had already ended up using all his merit points . But in order to gain the complete cultivation technique from Long Chen, he actually sold off all his secret tomes, precious treasures, and medicinal pills to other Elders .

Even his main sword was sold off . Other than his immortal cave, he basically didn't own anything . Only by selling everything he owned did he manage to gather everything on Long Chen's list .

Elder Sun was filled with hatred and resentment . He had sold off everything just for Long Chen's cultivation technique .

"Don't worry, I, Long Chen, am not someone who doesn't keep his promises . "

Long Chen examined this new spatial ring and saw that Elder Sun had really gathered all the Alioth Pill's main ingredients for him .

The Alioth Pill's formula was extremely complicated . But now he had everything except the main Qilin Fruit .

Seeing that the amount and age of all the ingredients was right, Long Chen took out one final black zirconium and gave it to Elder Sun .

"Our trade and business is now over . Goodbye . " Long Chen was filled with delight as he left .

That black zirconium was the same as the last ones . But there were even more lines on this one . On the back was a single character: Must . [1]

"Superior Must Kill Rebel . "

"What a domineering name!"

Elder Sun went crazy with joy . He had finally obtained the complete technique .

But within his joy was also a cold hatred . Looking at the direction Long Chen had left, he icily said, "Long Chen, just wait . My things aren't so easy to take!"

Elder Sun also left, returning to his immortal cave to train .

Over the next few days, the monastery gradually became livelier . As the secluded disciples gradually came out, the monastery became bustling with activity again .

Tu Fang was delighted to see that the majority of these disciples had all advanced at least one level while in seclusion . Of their eight hundred remaining new disciples, over half of them had advanced to the fourth Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation .

As for Ye Zhiqiu, Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, and the other core disciples, they had advanced to the fifth Heavenstage .

And most terrifying of all would have to be Tang Wan-er . She had somehow unconsciously broken through to the sixth Heavenstage . She was just one step from the late Tendon Transformation realm .

Currently, Tang Wan-er was new disciple with the highest cultivation base . But many people attributed her fast advancement to her absorbed Dao-mark .

That was because Tang Wan-er had candidly said that after absorbing that Dao-mark, she had clearly felt that she didn't have any bottlenecks when advancing and that her foundation had become completely stable .

And most terrifying of all, after absorbing that Dao-mark, her wind energy had changed . Her wind blades had used to have a white color within them, but now they were completely transparent .

She could strike like lightning without a trace . Enemies would be killed by her wind blades before even realizing what was happening . That was how terrifying Favored were .

Some people guessed that the current Tang Wan-er might even be stronger than Yin Luo had been . That was because Yin Luo had only been at the peak of early Tendon Transformation back then, while Tang Wan-er had reached the peak of mid Tendon Transformation . However, when people brought up Yin Luo's final attack, they all became quiet .

Yin Luo's final attack really had been too terrifying . Long Chen and Mo Nian had gone all-out and only barely managed to receive it .

But it was obvious to everyone that amongst this new generation of disciples, Long Chen and Tang Wan-er were definitely the strongest .

As for which one of them was exactly stronger, no one would know without the two of them fighting .

But to have Long Chen and Tang Wan-er fight against each other would be too difficult . The flirty romance between the two of them was something almost everyone in the monastery was aware of .

Other than Long Chen and Tang Wan-er, the next strongest person would have to be Gu Yang . After Long Chen had given him Yin Luo's golden spear, his combat ability had soared to a new level .

At the beginning, he hadn't been able to wield it, but once he reached the fifth Heavenstage, he managed to activate the spear's runes and could just barely use it .

Before that, Ye Zhiqiu had been able to use her ice energy to just barely suppress him slightly . But because of the weapon advantage, of their three duels afterwards, Gu Yang had won two, succeeding in climbing slightly ahead of Ye Zhiqiu .

The monastery's core disciples had now been split into three levels . The first level was Tang Wan-er and Long Chen who stood at the very peak .

The two of their combat abilities were something everyone had gotten bored of discussing . That was because they simply weren't on the same level as the others .

The second level would have to be Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Yang . The two of them were definitely at least a level stronger than the other core disciples .

And then the third level contained all the remaining core disciples . That was because the remaining core disciples were roughly on the same level . As for who would beat who, that would depend greatly on luck .

No one was bored enough to go calculate those odds of who could beat who . Furthermore, Long Chen had told everyone to cut down on the duels and competitions, because that would end up dulling their sharpness .

If it had been before the battle, they would not have understood what he meant . But after experiencing that huge battle, they all comprehended what he was saying .

That huge battle had taught them that a martial competition and a battle were two completely different concepts . A competition was just flashy but essentially useless .

But a battle only had one goal . As soon as you entered a battle, your goal would be take your enemy's life . If you didn't take their life, they would take your life .

And that was often a deciding factor in the Righteous and Corrupt battles . The Righteous path had a huge number's superiority, but they were still often defeated by the Corrupt path . That was because they were too used to the fighting style of a martial competition .

As for the Corrupt path, they didn't care about what flashy moves you could use, what origin you had, etc . As soon as they attacked, they would aim to take your life .

They had just experienced that kind of intense battle where only the most vicious and most ruthless people lived . Long Chen had ordered them not to compete amongst each other so that they would be able to better remember that kind of battle feeling .

After all, in a competition, it wasn't allowed to really use your most powerful attacks . You also couldn't really treat your opponent as an enemy . And so a competition wasn't really a good method to raise combat strength . In fact, it might even sharply lower your killing power .

But the core disciples were an exception to this . They had a greater comprehension over battle now, and it was easier for them to differentiate their competition fighting style and their battle fighting style .

That was why Long Chen had set down a rule that they could only compete amongst each other if they could easily enter a ruthless battle state . Otherwise, they should just patiently wait and try to absorb the benefits of that battle .

In the hearts of all these disciples, Long Chen was essentially a god . They might have the guts to not listen to the sect leader's orders, but Long Chen's words were divine orders that no one would dare ignore .

And so even as many people came out of seclusion, they mostly chose to continue solidifying their foundations . Sometimes they would gather together to brag about their contributions in that huge battle .

That battle had definitely gone into the monastery's history . It would be a legendary battle that could not be more legendary .

Even once they one day parted and perhaps went back to their families, they would still be able to be prideful and tell everyone around them that they had been a member of that huge battle .

Other than just needing to solidify their foundation, they temporarily didn't need to cultivate .

After all, cultivation was something that had its own rhythm . If you forced it, it wouldn't be beneficial to you .

Long Chen had spent several days in his room refining medicinal powders, refining day and night . With the Flame Salamander's blue flame, refining those powders wasn't difficult at all for him . The main thing was that it was just too boring .

Even with his willpower, constantly refining mountains of medicinal powders made him want to vomit .

But there was no way around that . A large portion of these were ingredients required for the Alioth Pill .

If he prepared them all properly like this, then as soon as he managed to find a Qilin Fruit, he would be able to refine the Alioth Pill . This was to save him time in the future .

For some reason, Long Chen was feeling as if time was becoming more and more pressing . It was like some kind of threat was steadily approaching him . The pressure almost made it hard for him to breathe .

After half a month, Long Chen finally finished refining all those medicinal ingredients .

The second day after he exited seclusion, a disciple ran up to him with a letter . Long Chen was surprised to see that it was from senior apprentice-brother Wan .

The letter said he had some things to discuss with him . But the letter didn't say what those things were .

A strange expression appeared on Long Chen's face . He shook his head . This kind of intelligence really is too low . Is he some legendary super-idiot?

A flame appeared in his hand that immediately burnt that letter to ashes . Long Chen rested for a short time, recovering from his exhaustion .

Six hours later, Long Chen arrived at the place senior apprentice-brother Wan had indicated in his letter . He was currently in a valley .

This place was far away enough from the monastery that even if a battle occurred here, the monastery wouldn't be able to sense it . This was a perfect place to kill someone .

"Hahaha, Long Chen, you really came!" A voice rang out from not far behind him .

Long Chen smiled mockingly . He didn't even turn back, helplessly saying, "You feigned that senior apprentice-brother Wan wanted to see me here? I find you really are becoming more and more childish . "

"Childish? Hahaha, but haven't you come anyways?" Elder Sun laughed heartily, filled with an indescribable excitement .

"The reason I came is because I wanted to see what you're planning . There's not that many people around that can make me laugh like you . Normally I wouldn't refuse a chance to laugh like this . " Long Chen seemed very interested in what Elder Sun was doing .

"Laugh? Hahaha, keep dreaming!" Killing intent overflowed from Elder Sun's eyes . "Did you think I'd just let you off after you cheated me of all my lifetime savings? Hahaha, unfortunately for you, I actually have to thank you! That cultivation technique you gave me really was the real thing . Now this old man will let you die a happy death by using that powerful cultivation technique to kill you!"

BOOM!

Elder Sun's aura surged and the ground beneath his feet cracked apart . A huge cyclone appeared behind his back .
