Chapter 667

The Fang Mansion was located in the city’s west, but was still considered part of the city’s core . From here, it was even possible to see the Seven Treasure Jewel Tower .

Currently, there was a lively celebration going on within the Fang Mansion as the Fang family celebrated everyone smoothly pa.s.sing the preliminaries .

In truth, those that could be pulled into the Fang family’s side were all elites amongst elites . This level of pill refining test was not difficult for them .

The Chai family’s people were also present . The two families’ relations were good, and they decided to celebrate together . Even the two families’ heads made a personal appearance that made the festivities livelier .

“Good job Long San . ” Fang Mingyuan patted Long Chen’s shoulder . This praise wasn’t toward Long Chen’s talent, but toward his display today . It was toward his character .

In front of everyone, he had dared to insult Huo Changsheng, tying his life to the Fang family’s survival, expressing his absolute loyalty . Currently, it was still unclear which family would be the final winner . The fact that he dared to do so was truly daring .

“You’re too courteous . Brother Fang and brother Chai have given me the kindness of their patronage . If it weren’t for them, how could I have obtained the beast flame and pa.s.sed this test? I might come from poor origins, but I’ve always believed that anyone human should know how to repay grat.i.tude a thousand times,” said Long Chen .

Long Chen didn’t actually have any good feelings toward the Fang and Chai families . But Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were to his liking . Despite being n.o.ble disciples, they didn’t give him a loathsome feeling like Huo Wufang .

Most importantly, Long Chen felt guilty about using them . He didn’t like that feeling, so he had to help them handle the Huo family .

“Well said! A person who gives you a drink when you’re thirsty can’t be forgotten . Nowadays, most people are filled with such treachery that they change sides like the changing of the wind . It’s rare for someone to possess such a pure heart now . Come, accompany this old man for a drink . ” What shocked everyone was that Fang Mingyuan actually took the initiative to toast Long Chen . What level of honor was that?

The alchemists that had sided with the Fang and Chai families all felt intense envy . But there was also no way around that .

After finis.h.i.+ng their drink, Fang Mingyuan said, “Long San, there’s no need to mention anything about your talent . I’ve never seen someone with such vast Spiritual Strength . But a good blade needs to be tempered . No matter how high your talent is, you still have to bitterly train to have accomplishments . Right now, your fatal weakness is that you haven’t studied enough .

“You are lacking knowledge on many medicinal ingredients, making it difficult for you to use your vast Spiritual Strength . It was extremely dangerous today . So, starting today, I will send Fang Chang with you to the medicinal ingredient repository . You’ll learn to identify various medicinal ingredients and gain experience with various pill formulas .

“There’s still one month until the elimination round . The preliminaries are just a starting round in the rules . The elimination round is ten times more difficult . So this one month’s time is very crucial to you . If you pa.s.s the elimination round, you’ll get another month until the finals . At that time, you’ll be competing with Huo Wufang .

“This Pill Emperor Compet.i.tion isn’t just a chance for the Fang, Chai, and Huo families to compete . It’s also a chance for you to change your destiny . The top ten will all be given special badges that will allow them to enter Pill Valley later . The top ten are given bountiful rewards, and as for the top three? Hehe, according to previous years, the rewards were so amazing that even I am greedy for them,” laughed Fang Mingyuan .

Other than Long Chen, everyone present desired to become Pill Valley disciples as soon as possible . Pill Valley was a holy land to alchemists .

“So Long San, treat this time importantly . I will lock you in the repository and have you lay down a solid foundation without rest . You don’t have any problems with that, right?” asked Fang Mingyuan .

“No problems . Many thanks for your patronage . ” Long Chen was incomparably excited . That wasn’t acting .

Hadn’t he acted so long before just for this opportunity? He could finally enter the medicinal ingredient repository . Long Chen could practically see the Enlightenment Palace Pill before him .

Seeing how happy Long Chen was, Fang Mingyuan nodded . Long San wasn’t just loyal, he was also hardworking and clever . He knew this opportunity was a rare one .

Long Chen’s mood was now excellent, and he continuously raised his cup to Fang Chang, Chai Liehuo, and the others . When Fang Chang told the story about how he had met Long San, the two families’ higher-ups cried tears of laughter . They had actually gotten along because of slapping the Huo family’s people .

Chai Liehuo drank a bit too much, and his tongue had loosened . He suddenly said, “Tch, who does the Huo family think they are? Aren’t they just in charge of selling pills? Those despicable cheats, who knows how much profit they’ve swindled?! Now they’re getting more and more arrogant, actually stretching their hands toward my Chai and Fang families’ territory . f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, they even want to expel us from the Pill Tower! Who do they think they are?!”

Hearing this stunned the higher-ups . Chai Gaoyang was just about to chide him, as saying such things in front of everyone would affect them negatively .

But before he could, Long Chen suddenly said, “Exactly! From top to bottom, there’s not a single good person in the Huo family! That Huo Changsheng even wanted to prost.i.tute himself to me! Tch, but I don’t have such tastes . Brother Chai, If you dare to face the Huo family, then I, Long San, will be the first to charge up! I’ll destroy that group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds for you . f.u.c.k, this time I’m going to go all-out training! When the time comes, I’ll take first place, and then once I’m in Pill Valley, we’ll work together to exterminate them!”
