Chapter 493: 493

Bang!

After a m.u.f.fled sound, Long Chen slowly opened the pill furnace and sighed emotionally: if a worker wanted to do good work, then they really did need good tools first .

Previously, each time his refinement was about to be complete, an explosive sound would ring out from his pill furnace . Each time, Long Chen had to be on the edge of his seat, afraid the pill furnace would explode .

But this time, instead of an explosive sound, it was just a light, m.u.f.fled grunt . Using a fifth tier pill furnace to refine fourth tier medicinal pills was truly effortless for him .

Most importantly, he could fully activate his Pill Flame now, allowing him to use his greatest techniques .

Nine medicinal pills were s.h.i.+ning like jade, halos of light present on each of them . Each one of these pills had rings on them .

Refining ringed fourth tier medicinal pills was a criteria for the examination to become a Pill King . As for the Bone Connecting Pills Long Chen had just refined, each one of them had at least three rings, and some even had five rings .

Each increase in rings represented an increase in the quality of the medicinal pills . Five rings was something even Pill Kings that had devoted their whole life to the Pill Dao were not necessarily able to achieve .

Long Chen finally had a chance to experience what it was like for his equipment to be completely revamped . These Bone Connecting Pills were for those three hundred-plus life and death brothers of his .

He had refined over three hundred Bone Connecting Pills so that they could all undergo complete tempering . It had to be known that the Bone Forging realm was the most important of the five Houtian realms . You were essentially building a foundation twice . Undergoing complete tempering could make a person completely transform .

Right now, Long Chen definitely didn’t have enough Bone Tempering Pills for over three hundred people . But with a heaven-defying treasure like the primal chaos bead, it would be fine as long as he had enough time .

Long Chen didn’t care about their talent . Talent could be raised, Spirit Roots could be upgraded . But a person’s inherent nature was extremely difficult to change .

What Long Chen cared about the most was these people’s loyalty . Despite clearly knowing they would definitely die, they had still marched bravely to the first monastery in order to follow Long Chen and the others in life and death . That kind of loyalty was the most valuable thing .

As for those various disciples and Elders who hadn’t come with them for various reasons, Long Chen didn’t feel a grudge towards them, but he also had no obligation to treat them so well .

Other than members of the new generation of disciples, people like senior apprentice-brother Wan had come as well .

Long Chen was planning on was.h.i.+ng away their tempered bones, and then having them consume the Bone Connecting Pill . He wanted everyone to undergo complete tempering .

If he allowed senior apprentice-brother Wan and the others who had already started on the path of ordinary bone tempering to continue, then after some time, they would be thrown far into the distance . That would definitely be discouraging for them .

They were all life and death brothers, and Long Chen was planning on walking together with them on his cultivation path to compete against the heavenly geniuses of all the various sects, to look down arrogantly upon the whole world .

No matter how strong a single person was, it had no meaning . Only a group’s strength was the greatest . For example, in the secret realm, Long Chen had already reached the pinnacle .

But even though he had been strong, he had still needed everyone’s a.s.sistance . If he hadn’t had their help, then even if he wouldn’t have died in the secret realm, he would have died outside .

So this time, Long Chen had made his resolution . He would make a powerful group to face off against the future’s unknown dangers .

…

Within a plaza at the back of a mountain in the first monastery, there were over three hundred disciples standing gravely . Looking at the figure in front of them, their eyes were filled with admiration and wors.h.i.+p .

Within the secret realm, this person had dominated the pinnacle experts of the two paths on his own . His blood-colored saber had cut apart the very world, terrifying countless people .

“Brothers, today I’ve gathered you today to tell you one thing . From today onwards, you will all by my life and death brothers,” announced Long Chen as he looked upon those fervent faces .

“Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, hand out the medicinal pills . ”

Gu Yang and the others quickly began to distribute the medicinal pills Long Chen gave them . When they saw what those medicinal pills were, they were all shocked .

But then they quickly understood Long Chen’s intentions, causing them to be filled with admiration . The scale at which Long Chen did things was always too shocking .

“Alright, you can swallow the medicinal pills,” said Long Chen .

Seeing them all swallow the medicinal pills without a moment’s hesitation, a warm feeling filled Long Chen . Trust was always the hardest thing to obtain .

“Everyone here, we’re all brothers- wait a moment, no, there are also some sisters . ” Long Chen suddenly became a bit embarra.s.sed, as he noticed there were five women amongst them . One of them was someone he was very familiar with, Qing Yu, Tang Wan-er’s maid and good sister .

But they were just wearing ordinary, s.e.xless clothes, so he had made an oversight . “Cough, whether you are brothers or sisters, from today onwards, we are all one family .

“Since you are capable of being unafraid of death, treading through water or fire for me, then I, Long Chen, will also do the same for you . ”

Hearing Long Chen’s powerful and resonating words, quite a few disciples’ eyes reddened from emotion . Back then, in the Righteous and Corrupt battle, Long Chen had said the same, and he had then used his conduct to show he was telling the truth .

For everyone’s safety, the opponents Long Chen chose for himself were always the strongest and most ruthless . Whenever there was danger, he was always the first to face it .

Such a heroic figure was someone they admired and wors.h.i.+pped . Now his words caused all their blood to boil .

“Starting today, we will form a group . All of us will now be members of the Dragonblood Legion .
