Chapter 768: 768

The vice sect master looked at the fish-eating Ouyang Qiuyu in absolute shock .

“Sect master?!”

Long Chen, Meng Qi, and Tang Wan-er were all dumbfounded . This little girl who had talked and occasionally thrown around jokes with them was actually the Xuantian Dao Sect’s strongest expert?!

Long Chen began to sweat . Thinking of how he had called her little sister and said he would protect her… He had dared to treat the sect master to a meal? He had dared to say he would protect the sect master? This story was a bit terrifying .

“You came at just the right time . Long Chen caught a Silvereye Fish King, and its taste is definitely unforgettable . You should eat some too!” Ouyang Qiuyu gestured to the fish on the cooking rack, meaning he shouldn’t stand on courtesy and should eat with them .

“Cough, I’ll pass . I came here to ask you whether or not we should test the flying boat before we move out,” said the vice sect master .

“Yes, that’s a good idea . It’s been many years since we’ve used it . You can do it yourself,” said Ouyang Qiuyu .

“But, without your spiritual seal, it’s impossible to start the flying boat…”

“Oh, I forgot . ” Ouyang Qiuyu took out a tablet . Imprinting her spiritual seal into it, she tossed it to the vice sect master .

“Your subordinate will leave now . ” The vice sect master immediately turned to leave .

“Wait a moment . Really, the older you get, the thinner your face becomes . Managing the sect doesn’t require you to be so serious all the time . ” Ouyang Qiuyu used her hand to cut off a chunk of fish meat and sent it to the vice sect master . He was clearly a bit uncomfortable, but he still took it .

In truth, there were few people who could resist the lure of the Silvereye Fish, and the vice sect master was no exception . It was just that he couldn’t lower his face to eat together with a bunch of juniors like this .

“Many thanks, sect master!” The vice sect master received the meat and quickly left .

“Alright, I’ve also pretty much eaten my fill . This is definitely the best meat I’ve eaten . Not only was the meat good, but your roasting skills can also be rated as unmatched . ” Ouyang Qiuyu smiled at Long Chen .

“Uh… sect master overpraises me,” said Long Chen awkwardly .

“Oh, you’re not calling me little sister anymore? It’s been many years since someone called me by such an intimate appellation,” laughed Ouyang Qiuyu .

Long Chen felt his cheeks burning . Being tricked by a beautiful girl, he felt extremely duped .

“Haha, I won’t tease you anymore . I’ll leave for now . Remember your promise, if someone bullies me, you have to help me . ” After saying that, Ouyang Qiuyu directly left .

Long Chen, Meng Qi, and Tang Wan-er just foolishly watched as she left .

“She was actually the sect master . Even we were tricked,” said Tang Wan-er, not knowing what to do or say .

“This is the day where I lost the most face in my life,” sighed Long Chen .

“Don’t be so sad . If the sect master wants to change her appearance, none of us could tell . Furthermore, the sect master really is beautiful and nice . With your methods, you might have a shot!” laughed Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen glared at her . “Do you see my expression? Try and understand what it means yourself!”

Meng Qi couldn’t bear to continue watching them . “Don’t fight . Although this thing is good, I can’t eat anymore . Leave the rest for the others to eat . ”

Only then did the three of them return to their camp . The leftovers were left to Meng Qi to distribute . She was a typical model of a perfect wife, and she handled things in a rigorous manner . There was absolutely no need for Long Chen to worry about anything .

They had only just returned when someone came to see Long Chen . That person was Zheng Wenlong .

“Brother Wenlong, it’s been a long time . From your current suave manner, it seems your business has been doing pretty good lately,” laughed Long Chen .

“I suppose . So tell me brother Long, what do you need this time? But let me warn you, I’ve already far surpassed my current credit limit, and I can’t give you any more money . ” Zheng Wenlong got straight to the point . It seemed he was now afraid of being conned by Long Chen again .

“Don’t worry, this time, I don’t want anything from you . Instead, I’ve been pretty well off lately, so I’m actually helping you!”

Just recently, Long Chen had obtained a large sum of spirit stones from the Shui family, so Guo Ran was no longer lacking money . Furthermore, Long Chen had obtained countless precious medicinal ingredients from the Pill Tower .

He directly took out hundreds of thousands of precious medicinal sprouts . Zheng Wenlong jumped in shock . This was an absolutely incredible amount .

“I temporarily don’t need any help, and these medicinal sprouts should be able to help you out a bit!” laughed Long Chen .

“This really is a supreme style of conducting business . If we spread these medicinal sprouts throughout the various auction houses, the profit will be absolutely shocking,” said Zheng Wenlong excitedly .

“Then that’s good . I’ll have to trouble you to handle that,” said Long Chen . He really was a bit sorry toward Zheng Wenlong because he had caused quite a bit of trouble for him .

Just looking at the exhaustion deep within his eyes, he could tell how much pressure he was under because of him .

The reason he took out these many precious medicinal ingredients was to repay him . He definitely wouldn’t treat anyone by his side unfairly . Previously, he had been poor . But now that he had money, he definitely wouldn’t forget to give him his share .

Zheng Wenlong was incredibly excited . He told Long Chen that the profit for these precious medicinal sprouts would be so great that even he didn’t dare to imagine it .

This should be enough to repay his debt, and he would still have a great deal of money left over . Zheng Wenlong asked Long Chen what he wanted to do with it . He could directly give the leftover money to Long Chen, or he could leave the money in the Huayun Sect and get interest on it .

With this much money, a year’s worth of interest would definitely be a shocking amount . Long Chen simply waved his hand, saying that Zheng Wenlong could handle it himself . He also told Zheng Wenlong that he should increase his own position within the Huayun Sect .

As Long Chen’s cultivation base increased, the things he would need in the future would become more expensive . If Zheng Wenlong’s status in the Huayun Sect wasn’t high enough, he wouldn’t be able to help him in the future .

Previously, Zheng Wenlong had offered a great deal of help to Long Chen, and now, Long Chen was putting a huge investment in on Zheng Wenlong so that he could improve his business, allowing him to rapidly advance in the Huayun Sect .

Other than medicinal ingredients, Long Chen also gave him the spatial rings he had obtained from the Corrupt path that were useless to him . Some of those had come from Celestials .

The Huayun Sect relied on business, and business was about profit . Just like the Pill Tower, they were neutral from the struggles between the Righteous and Corrupt paths . They would do business with both sides .

So the Huayun Sect would definitely be able to find a use for the treasures inside those spatial rings . That would also bring in a great deal of profit .

Zheng Wenlong immediately got to work, making a list of inventory for Long Chen, but as a result, Long Chen directly kicked him out . How could he care about such details and nonsense? He just had Zheng Wenlong handle it himself .

Zheng Wenlong was extremely moved . Although Long Chen had brought him a great deal of pressure, everything had been worth it . The trust Long Chen had in him made him feel like his initial investment had truly been in the right one .

After sending off Zheng Wenlong, Long Chen returned to the Dragonblood Legion’s camp . He saw that everyone was busy eating .

However, they were all smart . They knew that there wasn’t much meat to go around, and so with each small mouthful of the meat, they would drink a large jug of wine . Currently, they were already a bit tipsy .

Long Chen called out Gu Yang and Guo Ran . He directly gave the Treasure spear to Gu Yang . He didn’t know how much he had drunk, but Gu Yang actually cried .

A Treasure item was something any cultivator would long for even in their dreams . Gu Yang had never expected that he would obtain one so early .

“Guo Ran, how are your preparations?” asked Long Chen . Out of everyone, the person he felt the least reassured about was Guo Ran .

“Don’t worry boss, I’ve already finished forging my golden armor . I’ve also perfectly added in all kinds of mechanisms . Other than you, no one in the Dragonblood Legion can possibly suppress me!” said Guo Ran confidently .

“Not bad, not bad . You finally know what it means to be low-key . You’re not like before where you decide not to hide anything and think you’re a supreme expert!” Long Chen nodded with praise .

“Hehe, this is all thanks to boss . When you fought against the Four Heavenly Geniuses, your words deeply touched me . ” Guo Ran laughed mischievously .

“What words? Did I say something?” Long Chen was startled . He didn’t recall saying anything so profound .

Guo Ran put on a serious expression and raised his chin slightly, imitating Long Chen, he said, “I’ve gotten tired of your neverending, unchanging poser act!”

Long Chen and Gu Yang laughed . Guo Ran’s imitation really was accurate . Even Long Chen’s tone had been imitated perfectly . Most importantly, he even possessed Long Chen’s specific arrogance .

“You couldn't have been practicing such useless things all day, right?” Long Chen was speechless .

“Boss, you’re wrong . In all my life, the only thing I hope for is to be able to show off behind you forever . ” Guo Ran patted his chest without the slightest shame .

Long Chen was now truly speechless . But he could understand it . Guo Ran had never experienced the pain that Long Chen had, and so he was a typical hedonistic son of a small family . Perhaps the only value his life would have would be to show off .

Three days later, all the Celestial-level experts were gathered . Long Chen once more saw the Four Heavenly Geniuses .

However, Zhao Wuji, Zhong Wuyan, and Yue Qianshan clearly held a trace of reverence in their eyes when they looked at Long Chen . As for Shui Guanzhi, his expression was completely icy, and there was unconcealable killing intent in his eyes .

“Brother Long, as long as you say the word, I’ll kill him with a single smash of my club . ” Wilde was the first one to get irritated .

“Next time . This is not the time . ” Long Chen shook his head . Although Shui Guanzhi had become a rank three Celestial, Long Chen still didn’t need to treat him seriously . In his eyes, he was just a rank three Heavenly Dao Fruit .

The others looked at Wilde with shock . That berserk energy coming from Wilde made them tremble . It was like Wilde was a monster that might start killing people at any moment .

Even Shui Guanzhi shivered . He had heard of Wilde, but seeing him in person, his expert’s intuition told him that Wilde posed a fatal danger to him . That feeling was even stronger than the one he got from Long Chen .

“Hmph, Long Chen, don’t let me find you in the Immemorial Path, or I’ll properly settle the debts between us . ” Although he was a bit afraid of Wilde, he still opened his mouth .

“Idiot, do you see my boss paying the slightest bit of attention to you? If this was the right place, you’d already be dead . I really question whether or not your brains were left in the placenta when you were born,” cursed Guo Ran .

BOOM!

Suddenly, a powerful spatial fluctuation erupted, cutting off their verbal sparring . A huge flying boat appeared above them .
