Chapter 425: Dividing the Treasures

“A wind spirit stone?”

Tang Wan-er cried out. Born with a wind spirit body, she immediately sensed the powerful wind energy contained within that stone.

Such a thing was a treasure Tang Wan-er coveted. To her, it was a gift from heaven. Nothing could suit her better.

“Long Chen, thank you.”

Tang Wan-er took the wind spirit stone in her hand, her beautiful face filled with excitement. She wished she could absorb the wind energy inside it right now.

Wind spirit stones contained the purest wind energy between heaven and earth, embodying certain mysteries of the world. If Tang Wan-er understood them, her understanding of wind power would reach a higher level.

Although Tang Wan-er came from a good family, it was not a true ancient family. Many things had been lost over the years. Thus, in her future cultivation, she would have to rely more on herself. Otherwise, her family would not have sent her to a monastery to cultivate. This showed that her family's foundation was inferior even to the bottom-ranked 108th Monastery's.

“It's only one, and you're this happy?” Long Chen could not help laughing.

“You have more?” Tang Wan-er's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

“What a question. If I only had one, how could I give it to you? If I'm giving them to you, I have to give you a mountain's worth.” Long Chen smiled and handed Tang Wan-er a ring.

“You love to boast. If you... Ah!”

Thinking Long Chen was joking, Tang Wan-er took the spatial ring and looked inside. Her eyes widened, and she could not believe what she saw.

Tang Wan-er thought that with Long Chen's abilities, he might have obtained a few or several dozen wind spirit stones. But when she saw an entire mountain of wind spirit stones inside the spatial ring, she could not help being startled.

“Wan-er, what's wrong?” Meng Qi and the others could not help being stunned. Seeing Tang Wan-er's astonishment, they were baffled and wanted to know what was in the spatial ring that could leave her speechless.

“Sister, look.”

Tang Wan-er passed the spatial ring to everyone. After looking inside, they all reacted just like her. Their delicate hands tightly covered their lips, and their eyes were filled with horror.

“Long Chen, where did this come from?” Chu Yao could not help asking.

“Of course I got it on my adventure.” Long Chen briefly told everyone about his experience in the misty valley.

“Long Chen, you're so clever. You could even think of a method like that,” Chu Yao could not help saying admiringly.

All the women could not help nodding inwardly. One had to be bold and careful to accomplish great things. It was no accident that Long Chen had achieved what he had today.

“But why was a piece cut off the top of this hill? You should have just cut it,” Tang Wan-er said curiously.

“Long Chen, you must be hiding something. Tell us the truth right now.” Meng Qi stared into Long Chen's eyes, suspicion appearing on her beautiful face.

“You're overthinking it. I definitely worked hard to get these wind spirit stones. Their provenance is completely clean.” Under Meng Qi's stare, Long Chen felt a little guilty.

“I don't believe you. When you were speaking just now, the frequency of your soul fluctuations was different from usual. What are you hiding? Confess, quickly.” Meng Qi looked at Long Chen with a smile.

“Confess what really happened.”

Chu Yao and the others also joined Meng Qi's side at this point, adopting a stance that promised torture if he did not speak. Read the latest chapters at novelрing.com.

“Tang Wan-er, you have no conscience. I give you a treasure, and you actually side with them. You turn on me faster than turning the pages of a book.” Seeing Tang Wan-er rebel after receiving her gift, Long Chen could not help speaking spitefully.

“Don't even think about scaring me. I'm not alone now. We sisters can work together to cut through gold.” Tang Wan-er waved her little fist at Long Chen, indicating that she had found her organization.

Long Chen said, “Nobody can cultivate now. Just treat it as telling us a story.” Chu Yao gently held Long Chen's arm and pulled him down to sit.

Meng Qi and the others hurriedly gathered in a circle, all their beautiful eyes focused on Long Chen. He felt a little lightheaded in this realm of beauties.

“Well... if I tell you, you're not allowed to laugh... Otherwise, I won't talk about it.” Long Chen hesitated for a moment, then still gave them a warning.

“All right, we won't laugh. Tell us quickly. How did you get the wind spirit stones?” Tang Wan-er held Long Chen's other arm and spoke with an expectant expression.

With a beauty holding each arm, Long Chen took a deep breath. He really could not refuse them, so he had to grit his teeth and recount the process.

With the soul expert Meng Qi here, Long Chen did not even have a chance to lie. He had to tell everything exactly as it had happened.

When everyone heard about Long Chen repeatedly going to catch Han Tianfeng, about him being repeatedly trampled by Long Chen and attacked by Japanese-style barbarians, he could not laugh.

Tang Wan-er laughed even harder, rocking back and forth. But a beautiful woman was a beautiful woman. However much she laughed, she was still so enchanting!

Looking at the girls, some covering their lips and others clutching their stomachs, Long Chen could not help looking a little embarrassed. He said angrily, “Didn't you agree not to laugh?”

“Long Chen. . . . .. . .. . .. . . . . .. .. . . . . . . .. .. . .. .. .. . .. . . .. .. .. .. . .. . .. . .. .. . .. . .. . .. .. . .. . .. .. . .. .. . .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. . …

And Ye Zhiqiu, who was usually like a goddess of ice and snow, had turned away, her delicate shoulders constantly shaking. There was no need to think about it to know that she must be laughing nonstop.

Long Chen was speechless for a moment and regretted telling them what had happened. It had seriously damaged his glorious image.

“Long Chen. . . . .. . .. . .. . . . . .. .. . . . . . . .. .. . .. .. .. . .. . . .. .. .. .. . .. . .. . .. .. . .. . .. . .. .. . .. . .. .. . .. .. . .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. . …

Although Long Chen had only briefly described the process, he thought of how a generation of peerless experts had nearly been killed, and how he had not known who had done it even when he died.

“Long Chen, you're so handsome. A bastard like that ought to kill him like that.” After laughing, Tang Wan-er patted Long Chen on the shoulder, her beautiful face filled with excitement.

“Long Chen, there's nothing embarrassing about this. When dealing with an enemy, you have to use everything. Otherwise, you'll suffer a loss,” Lu Fang-er also said in strong agreement.

“By the way, Long Chen, I remember a fellow called Jiang Yifan. Did you run into him?” Tang Wan-er suddenly asked. She remembered that Long Chen had a grudge against that fellow, but did not know whether he had taken revenge.

“No. I looked for him for a long time but never saw a trace of him.” Long Chen shook his head like a rattle. He could not tell even if beaten to death, so he would simply keep it in his stomach until it turned to shit.

Thinking of Jiang Yifan's and Brother Niu Shi's fates made Long Chen shiver. It was disgusting.

Meng Qi looked at Long Chen in surprise. Seeing him desperately casting her a look begging for mercy, she smiled knowingly and said nothing more.

“Long Chen, why are you looking at Sister Meng Qi like that?” Chu Yao asked, a little puzzled.

“It's an affectionate look. Can't you tell?” Long Chen smiled.

Long Chen's words were far too suggestive, suddenly making all the women blush, especially Meng Qi, who did not dare look at anyone.

Seeing that a single sentence had made everyone stop attacking him, Long Chen secretly lamented his own stupidity. If he had known it was this simple, why would he have bothered begging for mercy? This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.

“Wan-er, keep these wind spirit stones with you for now. I know you can't use so many, so just hold on to them.

“Right now, you only need to absorb the most essential part of each wind spirit stone, improve your insights as quickly as possible, and understand the mysteries of wind. That will have an enormous effect on your cultivation.” Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, Long Chen became serious.

“But that way, a lot of energy will be wasted,” Tang Wan-er said hesitantly.

A wind spirit stone contained enormous wind energy, but not all the energy inside was pure. Only part of it could be absorbed.

Normally, cultivators absorbed all the energy within a wind spirit stone into their bodies, then forced the impurities out to avoid waste, knowing that wind spirit stones were far too precious.

But Long Chen meant that she should absorb only the essence and none of the impurities. That would waste more than ninety percent of the entire wind spirit stone's energy. It was truly extravagant, a waste of nature's resources.

“Then waste it. You have to understand that what we need is time. When the secret realm opens, there'll definitely be a bloody battle. If we can increase our strength even a little, we'll have a greater chance of survival,” Long Chen said seriously.

“Mm-hm, I understand.” Tang Wan-er nodded. This was an extraordinary time. She had to do it.

Seeing Tang Wan-er agree, Long Chen felt much more at ease. She was a very sensible woman. Once she agreed to something, there was essentially no need to worry about it.

“Meng Qi, this is a gift for you.”

A golden page appeared in Long Chen's hand. Seeing it made Chu Yao and Ye Zhiqiu cry out.

When Long Chen had come to rescue everyone that day, he had used this golden page to kill them all. Wherever the yellow light passed, blood rained across the sky. The scene still lingered in their minds.

The golden page was far too sharp, so sharp that it frightened people. Whether weapons or armor, everything was like paper before it.

“Long Chen, this is...” Seeing Chu Yao's and Ye Zhiqiu's shocked expressions, Meng Qi could not help being shocked as well.

“This is a soul weapon,” Long Chen said.

“A soul weapon?” Meng Qi exclaimed. As a soul cultivator, she naturally knew what a soul weapon was.

In the entire Fenghun Pavilion, only the Pavilion Master possessed a soul weapon, showing how precious and rare they were.

“Long Chen...”

Meng Qi was about to put it off, but Long Chen said sternly, “Now isn't the time to be polite. Of all of us, you're the one most suited to this soul weapon.

“Using a soul weapon requires soul power to drive it. Chu Yao, Zhiqiu, Wan-er, and I are all direct fighters. We can't fight while dividing our attention to control it.

“So only you and Sister Fang-er are suited to it here, and your soul power is the strongest among all of us. You should control it. At critical moments, you can keep killing powerful enemies. It'll be a lifesaving talisman for our entire team.”

Hearing Long Chen say this, Meng Qi blushed slightly. Compared with Long Chen, she had still thought far too little.

“Actually, this is soul gold. It hasn't been made into a soul weapon yet. It can only be considered a rough blank, so you'll have to continually nourish it with your soul and let it connect with you before you can use it. To be honest, I don't understand it either. I don't know exactly how to use this thing. You'll still have to study it yourself.” Long Chen smiled.

After the two treasures had been distributed, everyone began laughing again. Although Ye Zhiqiu still looked as though she never smiled, there was a trace of warmth in her eyes.

Relaxed moments always passed quickly. Three days later, as everyone gathered to prepare for collective seclusion, an unexpected guest arrived.
