Chapter 47

Long Chen finally told everyone everything about the Yan Shen fruit tree, the old ancestor of the Yang family was filled with surprise, but when he heard that the Bai family had already discovered it, his brows furrowed deeply.

Long Chen did not mention the Crimson Blood Holy Sect, for fear that the Yang family would panic first.

In the end, the old ancestor of the Yang family sighed and said, "So it turns out that Bai Sheng wants to exterminate our Yang family because of this Yan Shen fruit. No wonder, people die for wealth and birds die for food, it has always been so since ancient times."

Then his face turned cold, and he said, "The Bai family and our Yang family have such deep enmity. If they obtain the Yan Shen fruit and Bai Sheng advances to the Human Pill Realm, our Yang family will surely be wiped out, with no survivors. Therefore, I, Yang Cangqiong, must compete for this Yan Shen fruit!"

Yang Qingxuan also nodded and said, "There are three Yan Shen fruits in total. If the Bai family gets even one, our Yang family will have no place to stand in Baiyang Town. It seems that this battle is inevitable. The Bai family now has two Dragon Vein Ninth Level and two Dragon Vein Eighth Level, while our Yang family..."

Everyone turned their gaze to Long Chen, and the old ancestor of the Yang family asked anxiously, "Long Chen, what is your current strength?"

The Yang family had already surpassed the Bai family, but they did not expect Bai Li to appear. Long Chen was the biggest variable for the Yang family, so they were very concerned about his strength.

Long Chen thought for a moment and said, "Grandfather, if a real battle breaks out, you can deal with Bai Sheng, and I will handle any other unexpected situations!"

Long Chen's words meant that he was capable of dealing with Bai Li. The old ancestor of the Yang family breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, we are roughly evenly matched, but the battle is highly unpredictable. We need to prepare well in the next few days. If the Bai family is not eliminated, I will not be able to sleep or eat in peace..."

If someone from the Crimson Blood Holy Sect were to arrive, it would not be an even match, but a one-sided battle. Long Chen looked at the old man's aged face and could not bear to tell him this.

"Fine, I will try harder. If a major incident occurs, I will risk my life to ensure that the Yang family does not suffer any casualties!"

...

Long Chen lay on his bed.

"Hey, are you still thinking about the competition for the Yan Shen fruit?"

Lingxi flew out of the Lingxi Sword, looking curiously at Long Chen, who was lost in thought.

"There's nothing to think about. I am now at the Dragon Vein Seventh Level. After the Dragon Soul transformation, I have powerful physical strength and tenfold true qi. I am not afraid of Bai Li. However, if a Dragon Vein Ninth Level expert from the Crimson Blood Holy Sect were to come, our Yang family would be in danger."

Lingxi stood on his chest, looked at Long Chen for a while, and said helplessly, "You, who used to hate your mother so much, now you are willing to risk your life for her. What a strange guy. I told you long ago, there is no mother in the world who does not love her child. It was just your own misunderstanding."

Long Chen suddenly sat up in bed and said to Lingxi, "Go back, I'm going out."

Lingxi, who had just come out, pouted and said, "Why are you not staying to cultivate? What are you going out for?"

Long Chen ignored her and walked out of the room. Lingxi looked at Long Chen angrily and had no choice but to return to the Lingxi Sword.

"Xiaoxi, how long can the power of the Meng Lingzhi last?"

Long Chen suddenly asked, and Lingxi replied with a bitter smile, "I don't know, maybe a few more days."

Long Chen nodded. With his current strength, even without using the Dragon Soul transformation, he was invincible at the Dragon Vein Seventh Level. He immediately headed towards the Bai family's direction, and Lingxi became anxious, "Hey, what are you going to the Bai family for now?"

"None of your business, you vulgar woman!"

Lingxi was so angry that she did not bother with him anymore.

Soon, Long Chen arrived at the Bai family and hid in a secluded corner. "Xiaoxi, if a Dragon Vein Eighth Level expert from the Bai family approaches, remind me."

"No, let you die."

"..."

After much persuasion, Long Chen finally got the little princess to agree to help. He regretted it a thousand times in his heart and decided that next time, he would not be so rude to Lingxi.

Slipping into the Bai family, Long Chen moved cautiously. Lingxi finally could not help but ask, "Hey, what are you looking for?"

"Looking for Bai Shidong."

Lingxi remembered the peculiar guy who had peed twice and found it hilarious. However, she did not know why Long Chen was looking for him. After a while, Lingxi suddenly said, "Found him, he's alone in that room, sleeping."

It was already afternoon, and Bai Shidong was still sleeping. Long Chen was truly impressed by him. Following Lingxi's guidance, he entered the room and saw Bai Shidong sleeping soundly, drooling on the pillow, and the blanket kicked to the floor.

Without a word, Long Chen grabbed his neck and shook him a few times to wake him up. When Bai Shidong opened his sleepy eyes and saw Long Chen, who looked like a nightmare, he was terrified. He tried to scream, but Long Chen's grip on his neck prevented any sound.

"Don't move, don't make a sound, or you'll die."

Bai Shidong shuddered and finally woke up, no longer daring to move. Tears began to well up in his eyes.

Seeing his weak appearance, Long Chen was furious and said, "I'll cry for your mother! I only have one question. If you answer honestly, I won't take your life. If you play any games, Bai Shichen will be your example!"

Thinking of Bai Shichen's miserable state, Bai Shidong's face turned pale. Long Chen knew this guy had no backbone and did not bother with pleasantries, so he directly asked, "Tell me, where did you get the Meng Lingzhi?"

When the words "Meng Lingzhi" were mentioned, Lingxi finally understood Long Chen's purpose. Thinking that he was risking his life to enter the Bai family for her, Lingxi was deeply moved.

"Bad guy, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have been angry with you..."

Lingxi's heart was filled with sweetness.

Long Chen asked, and Bai Shidong immediately said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. It was sold to me by the head of the Liang family, Liang Cheng. You should know him, right?"

Liang Cheng? Long Chen had some impression of him. He was the head of a small family in Baiyang Town, with strength at the Dragon Vein Seventh Level.

Now that he had the information he wanted, Long Chen prepared to leave the Bai family. However, if he left immediately, Bai Shidong might call for help, so he decided to knock him out.

After Bai Shidong spoke, he thought Long Chen would not touch him, but when he saw the fierce look in Long Chen's eyes, he was terrified. At that moment, Long Chen punched him, knocking him unconscious.

Turning to leave, a sudden smell of urine hit Long Chen's nose, and he was truly impressed by Bai Shidong.

"I've met you three times, and you've given me three pees. Such a precious gift, I'm truly honored..."

In the Lingxi Sword, Lingxi giggled uncontrollably at the scene.

Soon, Long Chen left the Bai family and headed towards the Liang family's residence. The Liang family's residence was in a corner of Baiyang Town, and it took him a while to get there.

The head of the Liang family, Liang Cheng, was a tall man. He had been present when Long Chen killed Bai Zhanxiong and was deeply intimidated by Long Chen's strength. Seeing Long Chen come to him, he was somewhat nervous and warmly welcomed him with wine.

Long Chen got straight to the point and said, "Head of the Liang family, I came to you mainly because of the Meng Lingzhi. I heard that Bai Shidong bought a Meng Lingzhi from you. Do you have any more? I will definitely not shortchange you in terms of price."

When Long Chen mentioned the Meng Lingzhi, Liang Cheng's face turned grim. "I'm truly sorry, I have only obtained one Meng Lingzhi in my life, and I sold it to Bai Shidong. If you need another one, I am truly helpless."

Long Chen was not one to give up easily and continued, "Where did you get the Meng Lingzhi from?"

Seeing that Long Chen seemed to need the Meng Lingzhi very much, and considering that the Yang family was the dominant force in Baiyang Town, Liang Cheng wanted to build a relationship with them. He said, "In the Wasteland Beast Domain. I can draw a rough map of where I found the Meng Lingzhi, but, Young Master Chen, the Wasteland Beast Domain is extremely dangerous..."

Long Chen interrupted him, "Just draw the map for me, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"

Liang Cheng nodded and had his second brother entertain Long Chen while he prepared a rough map.

After a quarter of an hour, Long Chen left the Liang family's residence with the map and headed back to the Yang family.

"Hey, the Yan Shen fruit will mature in a few days. The Yang family needs you now. Are you still going to the Wasteland Beast Domain to find the Meng Lingzhi for me?"

"The Yan Shen fruit will mature in about eight days. I will use this opportunity to get as many soul-nourishing medicines as possible for you. I don't know what might happen during the competition for the Yan Shen fruit. If I die, you will have the medicine to last longer... I think there is still hope for survival."

Seeing how much Long Chen cared for her, Lingxi was moved to tears, even though no tears fell, she cried with all her heart.

Long Chen was drenched in cold sweat and said, "Girl, why are you crying so much? I just said I might die, not that I will die!"

Now returning to the Yang family, he mainly wanted to say goodbye to them. However, Yang Xueqing was not at home, and the old ancestor of the Yang family was busy with the town lord's affairs. Long Chen found Yang Lingqing, who was diligently practicing the Seven Illusory Killing Sword Technique.

Long Chen's arrival startled her.

"What are you looking at? Hiding it, it can't be some erotic pictures, can it?" Long Chen looked at Yang Lingqing with a smile.

Yang Lingqing's face turned dark, and she took out the Seven Illusory Killing Sword Technique, saying, "Do you think this is an erotic picture? Is this how a brother should talk?"

Long Chen flipped through it casually, remembering that Lingqing was competing with Yang Lingyue for the Phantom Crystal Sword. He wanted to guide her but did not expect her to snatch the manual and say, "Don't try to guide me. I want to compete fairly with Lingyue. If you help me, even if I win, it won't be honorable, and it won't prove that I am more suitable for the Phantom Crystal Sword."

Seeing the stubbornness of this little girl, Long Chen suddenly felt that she had a part of her personality that was similar to his.

"Fine, I won't teach you. I don't even want to. By the way, Lingqing, I will be out for a few days. When Grandfather and the others are done, remember to tell them that I will definitely be back before the important moment."

Yang Lingqing looked at him suspiciously and said, "What important moment? Where are you going? So mysterious, it can't be the Jade Green Tower, can it?"
