Consecutive Breakthroughs
In the Long family, after defeating Long Xing, Long Chen did not have the slightest joy. As for Li Xu's plan, he had no idea.
But even if he knew, he would not care.
Although he was only at the second level of the Mortal Martial Realm, he had opened up four Martial Veins. The power of his fist was comparable to the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm. In just a few days, this kind of improvement could be called heaven defying.
But this kind of cultivation was not worth mentioning in his eyes. His goal was the following Three Cities Tournament. The Three Cities Tournament was a grand event held by the Empire. The purpose was to select the best young people in the Empire's cities. After many rounds of selection, they could embark on the Immortal Path. If they were chosen by the five great sects, they could become a sect disciple and soar to the sky.
In his previous life, Li Tian had embarked on the Immortal Path after the Three Cities Tournament.
And after the Three Cities Tournament began, it was time for the major families to make a move on the Long family.
Counting with his fingers, there was not much time left before the Three Cities Tournament. He had to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be powerless against the older generation of the major families.
As Long Chen was pondering how to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, the door was slowly pushed open. A beautiful woman in simple clothes walked in.
Long Chen saw the woman and his eyes turned slightly red. He stood up and greeted her. He softly said, "Mother, why are you here?"
For a moment, Long Chen's thoughts were thousands of thoughts. That day, his Long family was destroyed. After hundreds of years, they finally met again today. He could not help but miss her. Long Chen threw himself into the arms of the beautiful woman.
"Silly child, what's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for a few days. Your performance these days really made your father so happy that he couldn't close his mouth … "The beautiful woman said while patting Long Chen's shoulder. Her right hand took out a package from behind her.
"This is the elixir sent by the family's Elder Hall. Before the Three Cities Tournament, you must improve your cultivation. At least reach the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm. Only then will you have a chance to enter the second round. At that time, even if you can't participate in the Immortal Path, you can get a lot of resources from the five great sects …"
Long Chen looked at the package and nodded heavily. His eyes sparkled. He said in a deep voice, "Mother, don't worry. The day of the Three Cities Competition will be the day when we soar to the sky. Everything will change at that time."
"This child, hurry up and cultivate. Your father told me to remind you not to go out these days as much as possible. If there's anything you need, just tell Qing Xuan." The beautiful woman handed the bundle to Long Chen, and then left the room.
After the woman left, Long Chen took out the spirit medicines from his bag. Shortly after, he helplessly shook his head and muttered to himself, "These spirit medicines aren't high level. At most, they're only Mortal Tier Third Grade. Directly consuming them is too ineffective. Since I've received the Li Family Ancestor's pill inheritance, I should try my best to refine the spirit medicines into pills."
"But, these things are worth at least ten thousand taels of silver. It seems that these old guys want to bet on me in this Tournament of the Three Cities!"
Long Chen thought of the shocked faces of the Elder Hall in the Main Hall, and the corners of his mouth could not help but reveal a smile.
He called Qing Xuan to prepare a large tub of scalding hot water. Then, he ground all the spirit medicines and put them in...
The Mortal Martial Realm mainly focused on condensing blood and Qi, tempering the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. Therefore, almost all the spirit medicines were best applied externally. However, this was in the absence of pills. After all, the status of an alchemist was much higher than that of an ordinary martial artist. In Iron Mountain City, alchemists were rarely seen. Moreover, the major families in Iron Mountain City did not have enough spirit medicines to support an alchemist.
After the spirit medicines entered his body, Long Chen's body was like a giant whale breathing out. He quickly absorbed the medicinal efficacy. His skin, flesh, tendons, and bones issued bursts of rumbling sounds. His body was bright red and glistening.
"Qing Xuan, you guard the door for the time being. These spirit medicines should be enough for me to break through to the third or even fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm. No matter who it is, don't let them in for the time being. Even if it's my parents, let them wait."
After a long while, Long Chen felt that the medicinal efficacy in his body had reached its peak. The third martial vein was about to open, so he instructed Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan looked at Long Chen's smooth and muscular body. Her cheeks were slightly flushed. She nodded her head and walked out of the room.
The first few levels of the Mortal Martial Realm were very important. If one was not careful, they would have to start all over again. Long Chen had the body of a Great Emperor and the help of the Primal Chaos Golden Codex. His cultivation speed could not be measured by common sense. Soon, he began to condense the sixth Heaven Martial Vein. The dark green liquid medicine in the wooden barrel slowly began to dilute and fade …
This sat until noon of the second day. A muffled sound came from Long Chen's body. Qing Xuan's face jumped. She was surprised and said to herself, "Young Master obtained the Immortal's Inheritance this time. His cultivation speed is terrifying. It's only been a day, but he broke through again …"
After condensing the sixth martial vein, Long Chen stepped into the third level of the Mortal Martial Realm. The dark green liquid in the wooden barrel had turned into a light green color. However, the medicinal efficacy was still very abundant. Long Chen began the second round of breakthrough.
… …
A thousand meters away from Long Chen's residence, in the Long Family's West Wing residence, the Long Family's Great Elder's residence shouted, "Get out! You can't even beat a waste. What qualifications do you have to be my second disciple!"
Bang!
The door was suddenly pushed open. Long Yu, who was seriously injured by Long Chen's punch, flew out of the courtyard. The corner of his mouth was full of blood, and there was a huge footprint on his clothes. Then he rolled and crawled out of the courtyard.
In the courtyard, a twenty-two or twenty-three years old strong young man stared at Long Yu and sneered. He said to the Long Family's Great Elder, "Master, don't be angry. Long Chen obtained some benefits from the mountain range. It's only a temporary increase in strength. It's not worth mentioning. Why don't I go beat him up …"
This man was the Long Family's Great Elder's eldest disciple, Long Ying. His cultivation was one of the best in the younger generation of the Long Family. He had already reached the peak of the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm. Unfortunately, he was not from the main branch. His status was not high and he was not very popular.
However, under the guidance of the Great Elder, his fist skills had reached the point of perfection. In the younger generation of the Long Family, few people dared to confront him.
"That Long Chen made me lose face in the Elder Hall. Not only that, those guys even took out nearly ten thousand silver taels of elixirs to give to that brat. I'm so angry!"
"This guy knows that Long Yu is my new disciple, but he still doesn't give me face. Now that Long Tianxing is in seclusion, you go and help me teach him a lesson. Otherwise, how can I, the Great Elder, stand in front of the Long Family's disciples!"
The Great Elder's face was livid with anger as he shouted fiercely.
Long Ying quickly agreed and whispered, "Now that the Grand Competition of the Three Cities is imminent, the Elder Hall gave so many elixirs to this waste. It's obvious that they want to put their hopes on him. Why don't I beat him until he can't get out of bed for a year and a half …"
"Good, good. In this way, I will push you to become the core of the Grand Competition of the Three Cities. Even if Long Tianxing wants to punish you, the Elder Hall will not agree."
