Chapter 279 Obtaining Medicinal Ingredients

chapter 279 obtaining medicinal ingredients

translator: borntobe

long chen was pleased to see the many medicinal ingredients packed into this spatial ring. elder sun really was efficient.

what long chen didn’t know was how much pain elder sun was in. his lifetime savings had been cut by over half for those medicinal ingredients.

“long chen, hand over the lower portion of that cultivation technique.” elder sun was extremely gloomy, but there was also a trace of excitement and nervousness in his voice.

long chen checked the medicinal ingredients and saw they were the exact ones written on the list, delighting him.

after that huge battle, they had passed down a huge number of points. tang wan-er and the other core disciples had gained over a million points. even ordinary disciples earned hundreds of thousands of points. to those disciples, that was an absolutely enormous amount.

but for long chen, they were practically nothing. and that was why long chen had placed his sights on a fat sheep like elder sun.

the disciples’ points were incomparable to the elders’ merit points. some things couldn’t even be exchanged for with disciple points.

and even if they could obtain them, it would be incredibly expensive. these medicinal ingredients in this spatial ring would have definitely cost over a hundred million points, and even then, that was just a rough estimate. it could easily be more.

furthermore, many of them were unobtainable within the monastery. elder sun had gone to the supermonastery for them.

“what, are you reneging?” seeing how sinister long chen’s smile was, elder sun’s heart jumped.

this trade of theirs was completely secret. there was no one to witness it as proof. if long chen refused to go through with it, that would be extremely troublesome.

“what nonsense. do you think i’m such a person?” long chen snorted. he threw a piece of black zirconium to elder sun.

elder sun hastily grabbed it. it was the exact same form as that previous black zirconium. on the front side was a complicated diagram of meridians, and there was an ancient character on the back.

kill.[1]

this new black zirconium had the character for kill on the back of it. when combined with the previous rebel character, would it be kill rebels? or rebels kill?

but no matter what, those two words were incredibly domineering.

“hehe, thank you. i’ll leave for now.” elder sun was delighted

long chen nodded. “okay, then you can go back. if there’s anything else, you can come find me.”

long chen just lightly waved, acting as if he were saying goodbye to a member of the junior generation. that was greatly displeasing to elder sun.

“alright, i’ll definitely come find you in the future!” elder sun laughed amicably, but a cold light shined within his eyes.

although he had managed to obtain the cultivation technique, he had taken a severe blow to his savings, which made him extremely irritated. and now to protect this secret, he would naturally have to go find long chen later.

seeing elder sun’s departing back, long chen sneered mockingly. i know you’ll definitely come find me again, but it probably won’t be for what you’re thinking of.

long chen returned to his immortal cave and saw tang wan-er standing at the front of it. she suspiciously asked, “what kind of shady business are you up to again?”

that kind of loneliness wasn’t about how many people were by his side. it was loneliness that existed despite being surrounded by people. it was as if the entire world was rejecting him. or perhaps it could be said that he was rejecting the entire world.

tang wan-er gently held his hand. “long chen, no matter what worries you have, you can tell me. i will share any burden you have.”

having tang wan-er’s tender hand holding his own, long chen’s heart filled with warmth. tang wan-er was as beautiful as a flower, her pretty face touched with a dab of shyness. she was like the cherry blossoms blooming, so beautiful that people didn’t dare to profane her.

tang wan-er had always been beautiful, but looking at her now, in this situation with these feelings, long chen felt tang wan-er was more beautiful than ever.

his heart was pounding faster and faster. tang wan-er also began to breathe a bit faster. the two of them were pulling closer and closer to each other.

being stared at by long chen like this, tang wan-er didn’t dare to meet his eyes. she closed her eyes, her lips opening ever so slightly. long chen was unable to resist that beauty, and gave her a deep kiss.

tang wan-er let out a gentle gasp, involuntarily holding long chen tightly, her body limp and powerless.

long chen felt as if his head was buzzing. all his heart and mind were focused on the feeling of those lips.

“cough.”

suddenly, a light cough rang out. it wasn’t loud, but to the two of them, it rang out like thunder.

the two of them instantly separated, seeing qing yu helplessly looking at the two of them. tang wan-er’s face was twisted with embarrassment. she lowered her head, quickly running into the immortal cave and tightly locking it behind her, refusing to come back out.

even with long chen’s thick skin, being caught like this made him blush fiercely.

“ah, sister qing yu, hehe, how coincidental!” tang wan-er might be able to run, but long chen couldn’t. as a man, he had to face this.

“sister qing yu, don’t misunderstand. i’ve been a bit unwell these past few days and i ended up with a couple sores on my tongue. i was just asking tang wan-er to help me take out the blood from those sores. there really was nothing!” explained long chen. but after that explanation, not even he felt that anyone would believe him.

qing yu shook her head and sighed. “you two... you’re both grown up now and know how you should act. i know you two like each other. but the relations between a man and a woman are like dry firewood that can ignite with a single spark. if you two can’t hold back, you’d end up hurting wan-er. understand?”

long chen nodded, completely serious. “sister qing yu, i understand.”

“i know you two will hold back and not take that final step, but something like this could still impact your dao-hearts. you might lose your way, stalling your cultivation. so don’t blame your sister qing yu for being long-winded,” admonished qing yu.

if a woman lost her chastity before reaching the xiantian realm, she would be unable to maintain her pure yin body. no matter how good her talent had been, it would be wasted.

this was the first time long chen didn’t feel that qing yu was long-winded. at the same time, he also scolded himself. this was the result of playing with fire. on the off chance he couldn’t hold back, he would regret it for a lifetime.

six hours later, who knew whether qing yu had gotten tired or whether she felt long chen had been properly scolded, but she finally returned within the immortal cave.

but when long chen saw qing yu knock on tang wan-er’s door, he saw that tang wan-er refused to open the door no matter what. in the end, she had no choice but to drop the subject. perhaps she would have a chance to make up this lesson to tang wan-er after a few days.

long chen returned to his room and began to refine those medicinal ingredients into powder, storing them inside jade bottles with tags.

that would be much more convenient when he refined in the future. he could save a great deal of time when he finally refined these powders into pills.

two days passed as he refined these medicinal powders before elder sun angrily called for him.
