Chapter 22 Aman

Long Chen was surprised and confused; which woman did he mean?

“That girl that fought with you at the beginning,” Yun Qi said solemnly .

“What? Does she have a problem?” asked Long Chen in confusion .

Grandmaster Yun Qi hesitated for a moment before saying, “Come with me . ”

Long Chen followed grandmaster Yun Qi to the cultivation room they had gone to before . He couldn’t help being curious; she was just a ninth Heavenstage Qi Condensation cultivator, so there was no reason for grandmaster Yun Qi to specifically warn him about her .

They entered the room and closed the door before grandmaster Yun Qi twisted his spatial ring and took out a drawing .

Opening the drawing, Long Chen was started to see that it depicted a beautiful delicate woman refining pills in front of an ancient medicinal cauldron .

What shocked him was that that woman in the drawing was almost exactly like that crazy woman he had encountered .

The only difference was that the woman in the painting was serene and full of peace, giving people a gentle feeling . The feeling that that crazy woman gave off was completely different .

“This is…?” Long Chen probingly asked . That drawing was extremely old . Just why had Yun Qi taken it out?

“The person in this drawing is my wife . ” A rarely seen warmth appeared on grandmaster Yun Qi’s solemn face when he looked at the person in the drawon .

Long Chen’s mouth dropped . That was something he had never expected . For a moment he didn’t know what to say .

After a long moment, Yun Qi gently put away the drawing and sighed, “My wife pa.s.sed away a long time ago . When I first saw that woman, I thought my eyes were hallucinating . It was a long time before I calmed myself down . But as soon as that woman said she wanted to be my apprentice, I immediately felt my guard go up . ”

“What? Does she have some kind of secret goal?”asked Long Chen .

Yun Qi smiled slightly and didn’t reply to that . “She is also a Pill Apprenticeand has an excellent talent . She might even be better than you, so you have to be careful around her . ”

Long Chen was somewhat mystified by this, but grandmaster Yun Qi no longer said anything about it . He took Long Chen’s jade tablet and carved his own special engraving on it .

That engraving had a trace of his Spiritual Strength . With it, Long Chen would be able to get quite a few precious medicinal ingredients from the alchemist guild’s medicinal room on credit .

He sent Long Chen out as soon as he finished that engraving . Countless questions bounced around in Long Chen’s head .

Perhaps the arrival of that crazy woman wasn’t a coincidence . If she had done it on purpose, then what was her goal?

Was she there to seduce grandmaster Yun Qi? But with his age, that didn’t seem too likely .

And if that had been the goal, shouldn’t she be a bit more docile? Who would fall in love with such a wild crazy woman?

Did grandmaster Yun Qi have some other secrets? Was it possible she was some illegitimate daughter of his?

But that also didn’t sound right . If he had had an illegitimate daughter, she wouldn’t have anything to do with his wife, yet they looked so similar .

He got a headache from thinking about it, yet he still didn’t figure it out . But in any case, grandmaster Yun Qi wouldn’t harm him, so he should just do as he said and be more careful of her .

He went directly to the medicinal room with his jade tablet . When he showed it off, the a.s.sistant’s expression immediately became extremely respectful .

Long Chen asked about the credit procedure . He learned that the first cla.s.s credit users could borrow five million gold coins worth of medicinal ingredients that were limited to first tier .

But Long Chen’s second cla.s.s credit allowed him to borrow thirty million gold coins of first tier medicinal ingredients, as well as five sets of second tier medicinal ingredients .

This kind of result made this trip well worth it . With such a credit limit he would no longer need to be worried about not being able to afford medicinal ingredients .

Normally if an alchemist could succeed in refining one in five times then he would end up breaking even . If he could succeed an extra time then he would make a great profit .

As for Long Chen with the memories of a Pill G.o.d, his chance of failure when refining a first tier medicinal pill was zero percent . If his Pill Flame wasn’t so weak, his efficiency would increase even more .

But when he thought about refining second tier medicinal pills, Long Chen decided not to try it . With his current Pill Flame’s strength, refining a second tier pill would tire him to death .

For the moment he should continue focusing on condensing his FengFu Star . The current initial success of his FengFu Star still had an extremely great room for improvement . He wanted to condense his FengFu Star to its perfect state .

Long Chen wanted to spend all his money to buy the FengFu Pill’s ingredients, but he was disappointed to find the guild didn’t have that kind of quant.i.ty in stock .

Without any other choice, he bought fifty sets of the ingredients as well as a couple of other first tier medicinal ingredients . Once he refined them into medicinal pills, he could sell them to guild and make money that way .

Martial arts were prevalent within the Phoenix Cry Empire, and with so many people and adventurers, medicinal pills were always in high demand and were in a situation where the supply could never meet the demand .

But fortunately the alchemist guild had a conscience and didn’t evilly increase the price, otherwise the guild would definitely start making money hand over fist .

Long Chen was planning on going straight to his room after leaving the guild . But before he got home, he suddenly heard a bunch of shouts and curses so he hastily walked over to look .

He saw ten servants were currently beating someone . There was a very round fat middle-aged man pointing with at that person while cursing .

“What’s going on here?” he asked of a man watching the chaos .

“Hehe, you’ll laugh to death once you hear it . Do you see that chimney that’s over two hundred meters tall? It was built by that kid . The boss came to do an inspection today, and when he saw it he almost died of anger . That idiot read the blueprints upside down . He was actually supposed to be building a well, hahaha… . ”

Long Chen also chocked on his laughter when he heard that . Did people like that really exist in this world? Seeing that person being beat on the ground, his heart shook slightly .

That person didn’t seem to be that old; he probably wasn’t even older than Long Chen . But his body was exceptionally long and strong . He was just lying on the ground and letting those people hit him without retaliating .

What shocked Long Chen was that whenever those people’s punches or kicks landed on his body, an indescribable energy came out of his body and turned them away .

If it weren’t for Long Chen’s shocking Spiritual Strength, it would be impossible to notice that faint ripple . But as for that youth, there were no spiritual energy fluctuations from him and so he definitely wasn’t a cultivator .
