Chapter 1094 A Natural Phenomenon

chapter 1094 a natural phenomenon

translator: borntobe

as the host of yesterday’s party, long chen naturally couldn’t slip away in the middle. after his wild bout of drinking, he didn’t even know how he had returned to his room.

in any case, he seemed to remember holding two soft bodies and sleeping more peacefully than he ever had before.

in the morning, a startled cry roused long chen from his slumber. he got up just in time to see meng qi and tang wan-er running away.

long chen was startled, but then he found that a certain place was bulging like a high mountain, looking like it had an urge to pierce heaven and earth.

“hehe, a natural phenomenon, a natural phenomenon.”

long chen laughed and took a deep breath. calming himself down, that natural phenomenon slowly disappeared.

jumping off his bed, he still smelled meng qi and tang wan-er’s scents. the sun was shining on the bed through the window. it was quickly approaching midday.

lazily stretching, he heard some crackling sounds from his body. he felt full of power, like a volcano that wanted to erupt.

he knew that this was the effect of having just advanced to foundation forging and not being able to suppress his aura. looking within himself, he jumped in shock.

“108,000 original runes?!”

long chen saw that there was a small seed in each one of his acupuncture points. those seeds were slowly developing. they were crazily absorbing heaven and earth’s energy, but he didn’t see them growing.

after some careful sensing, he was startled to find that these seeds were only absorbing one ten-thousandth of the energy they were sucking in. the rest was being rejected.

“so that’s what it is. the foundation forging realm revolves around absorbing the world’s purest yuan spiritual energy. no wonder it is said that yuan spirit stones are the lifeline of this realm.” long chen suddenly realized what was going on, and why being in possession of yuan spirit stones in the eastern wasteland had caused the ancient family alliance, ancient races, and pill valley to be so shameless.

“hehe, fortunately i didn’t sell these back then, or i’d have lost out.” now long chen understood how important yuan spirit stones were.

he looked inside the primal chaos space and saw lei long. it was condensed into a ball of light, looking like an egg.

the self-detonation last time had been extremely harmful to lei long. right now, it was using all the thunderforce gained from the tribulation to undergo a rebirth.

long chen couldn’t help being stunned by lei long and huo long’s intelligence. it seemed the stronger they became, the more they advanced in other aspects as well. huo long had even awakened its own innate ability.

huo long’s innate ability was to summon eight split bodies. he wondered whether lei long would awaken an innate ability once it revived through this nirvanic rebirth. he was full of anticipation.

all the iron spruce oaks in the primal chaos space were withered and dead. he had been forced to be decisive back then when he had killed the final lightning incarnation of his tribulation.

“of course there’s something important! otherwise, why would i have waited six hours just for you? it’s not that i’m chiding you, but-”

“sister qing yu, the important matter, get to the important matter!” long chen quickly brought her back to the main topic.

“right now, everyone in the dragonblood legion is at the peak of sea expansion. many people have already touched the barrier of foundation forging, but without your orders, no one dares to break through. other than the dragonblood legion, the disciples from the other factions have already started breaking through. furthermore, there’s a piece of bad news. the xuantian dao sect’s nine-ring foundation building pills are sold out,” said qing yu.

“how could such an important pill be out of stock?” demanded tang wan-er. the nine-ring foundation building pill was practically a must-have for sea expansion experts attacking foundation forging.

with the nine-ring foundation building pill, a cultivator could condense their original rune easier, making their breakthrough much simpler. furthermore, there were no side effects. it was a very important pill.

long chen was also surprised. but he quickly sneered, “were they all bought by certain people?”

qing yu nodded. “yes, the divine beast mansion and hegemon hall both used the excuse of wanting to be completely sure about their disciples’ breakthroughs and bought two sets of foundation building pills for their members. so all the nine-ring foundation building pills have been sold, and if we want any, we’ll have to wait a certain amount of time. furthermore, if we want a large amount, it probably won’t be a short waiting time.

“the ten thousand insect guild and heaven female alliance didn’t think hu guishan or fan song would be so despicable. even if they try to be frugal, the number of pills they can offer us is far from enough.

“furthermore, this morning, i went to the ten thousand pill hall to ask the situation about the refining of more nine-ring foundation building pills, but their reply was extremely cold. all they said was they would need time to refine more, refusing to give a concrete date.

“when i continued asking, that person finally impatiently said that i would have to either wait, or refine it myself!”

even with qing yu’s gentle nature, toward the end, she couldn’t help but get angry. she had essentially been driven away by the ten thousand pill hall.

“they’re asking for a beating!” tang wan-er was enraged. it was unexpected for the ten thousand pill hall to go so far as to even bully qing yu. “long chen, go beat them for sister qing yu.”

“alright, it just so happens that i was bored.” long chen laughed sinisterly and began to walk out.

it was qing yu who stopped him. “you’re already adults, so stop acting like children. the main point is how to resolve our current situation.”

long chen smiled. “in truth, this matter is very simple. the divine beast mansion and hegemon hall’s idiots are colluding with the alchemy pavilion to harm us. if we urgently want the pills, we’ll have to lower our heads and have them rip us off. we’ll have to buy the nine-ring foundation building pills from them at tens of times the cost. speaking of which, isn’t the foundation building pill an eighth tier pill with several precious ingredients? what is its price?”

“yes, it’s very expensive. it costs eight thousand points for one. i don’t know if they’re trying to retrieve points from us now that we made so many points, but the price is definitely frightening,” said qing yu.

“that’s not out of the realm of possibility, but a foundation building pill truly is that valuable. my guess is that in the past, the price probably wasn’t that high, and they sold them to disciples at cost. after all, the growth of its disciples is the foundation of the sect. even if they don’t earn anything, it’s better than not allowing the disciples to advance.

“but eight thousand points, eh? after the last battle, the divine beast mansion and hegemon hall are down to fifty thousand members. normally, each person would prepare two nine-ring foundation building pills for themselves, so two sets would be four pills. then eight thousand times four is thirty-two thousand, and then times fifty is... damn, they spent one billion six hundred million points for this. did they use everything they had?” asked long chen.

“i heard that they got two billion seven hundred million points from the battle, so that’s over half their points,” said qing yu.

“hehe, good, good. they want to con me? i’ll make them lose all the money they invested in this plot.” long chen laughed sinisterly.
