Chapter 112 Alioth Star[1]

What Long Chen had never expected was that that final bit of information was the pill formula for the Alioth Pill . That naturally made him wild with joy .

The Alioth Star was the second star of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . It was located in the center of the right palm, the opposite location of the FengFu Star in the left foot .

In other words, Long Chen could now cultivate the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s second level . His FengFu Star had reached perfection now, giving Long Chen great confidence in himself .

If he could open up a second star, that would be equivalent to having two Dantians, allowing him to increase his speed even faster .

The single FengFu Star had already allowed Long Chen’s combat ability to soar . If he could also succeed in condensing the Alioth Star, then with the superposition of both stars, just how terrifying would his power become?

Thinking back to his dream and that powerful man who possessed the huge divine ring and the nine stars in his eyes, Long Chen’s heart wildly beat . Perhaps there would come a day when he was also that strong .

“Wait, what?” Long Chen couldn’t help jumping in shock when he looked over the pill formula .

“Flame Lizard Horn, Ice-Cold Python essence blood, Qilin Fruit, Nine Flavor Kuding[2], Immortal Chrysanthemum…” Long Chen was shocked to find that the Alioth Pill’s formula required over thirty rare and precious medicinal ingredients .

Amongst them, the Qilin Fruit medicinal ingredient was the most difficult to find . It had practically become extinct in this world .

Even if Long Chen’s luck was a defiance of the heavens and managed to find a couple Qilin Fruits, that would still be nothing in comparison to the total amount he needed if he a.s.sumed an accordingly high consumption as with the FengFu Pill .

The flame of his excitement was immediately doused by icy water . This was something that was impossible to accomplish .

He then realized something that absolutely chilled him .

The Nine Star Hegemon Body was a technique that had circulated down from ancient times . That meant that its pill formulas were based on medicinal ingredients from the ancient era .

But in the current era, many of those ingredients had already become extinct . Just how was he supposed to find them?

Not only did he have to find them, he needed to collect an absolutely ma.s.sive quant.i.ty of them . That was practically as difficult as ascending the heavens . It was too discouraging, enough to cause him to despair .

After just running into the second star, he had already run into this huge problem . Then what about the third or fourth star?

But then thinking about, Long Chen laughed, telling himself he had been too pessimistic . So what if Phoenix Cry didn’t have them? That didn’t mean there weren’t other places they did exist .

Although he didn’t want to admit it, both the Huayun Pavilion’s Bai Ling and that white-robed man had considered this to be an uncivilized land, the latter even considering him to be a frog at the bottom of a well .

Then why shouldn’t he go out to take a look into that vaster s.p.a.ce? Furthermore, he also had to go see his future wife . After all, if too much time pa.s.sed, perhaps she would forget about him . That would be tragic .

He also remembered the Pill Valley tablet grandmaster Yun Qi had given him . He truly wanted to know what that place which was considered a holy land in the hearts of Pill Cultivators was like .

If he could enter that holy land, then wouldn’t it be possible for him to easily obtain even more precious treasures that would make cultivating in the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art more doable? Then wouldn’t all his problems be easily resolved?

Thinking of all this, Long Chen couldn’t help feeling as if the clouds were finally parting and he could now see the clear, blue sky . His mood immediately became much more relaxed .

The door to his room was now slowly opened and a young woman quietly brought in a basin of fresh water for him . There was also a towel soaking in the water .

“Are you being this quiet to not wake me?” Long Chen couldn’t help laughing .

That graceful, pretty woman’s long hair flowed past her shoulders . She had clear, limpid eyes, and eyebrows like crescent moons . She was precisely Phoenix Cry’s third princess Chu Yao .

She shook and looked at Long Chen’s bed . Seeing the laughing and teasing Long Chen, her pretty face turned completely red .

“You’re up! I’ll wash your face . ” Setting down the basin, she picked up the towel and twisted it a couple times before lightly walking over to Long Chen . Blus.h.i.+ng, she gently and carefully wiped Long Chen’s face .

Smelling her faint fragrance and feeling her heartbeat, Long Chen felt a burst of warmth . He reached out his hands and tightly embraced her slender waist .

Chu Yao was immediately pulled in Long Chen’s embrace . Resting her head against his chest comfortably, her heart beat affectionately .

Feeling her lying in his embrace, Long Chen felt an unprecedented level of peace . Neither of them said anything, simply silently sensing the other’s heartbeat . All words were simply superfluous .

After an unknown time, Chu Yao reached out her hand and stroked Long Chen’s cheek . Roving her gaze over his face, she faintly said, “Long Chen, how about we stay like this for the rest of our lives? We’ll never have to part again . ”

His heart jumped . Those words immediately caused him to think of a certain maiden . Although she wasn’t too beautiful, her bright eyes were filled with love .

“I just hope that when you look upon this necklace in the future, you’ll remember that there was once a girl… whose heart… yearned to go hunting with you… and make babies . ”

Rubbing the necklace on his neck, Long Chen couldn’t stop himself from sighing . His thoughts landed on that smile village . Just how was she now?

“What’s wrong?” Chu Yao sensed Long Chen was thinking about something else .

Long Chen told her everything . The chase from Ying Hou, almost dying near some isolated cliffs, being saved by Xiao Hua . From beginning to end, he told her everything .

“Long Chen, that Xiao Hua is just a kind and honest girl . Why would you reject her?” A feeling of intense pity filled Chu Yao’s heart when she heard the story of Xiao Hua .
