Chapter 674: 674

“I want a strand of Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Gra.s.s . As long as you can take that out, I’ll immediately release this person,” said Long Chen .

In the medicinal ingredient repository, Long Chen had clearly seen a spot for the Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Gra.s.s . But that s.p.a.ce had been empty .

It was later when he asked around that he learned the Pill Tower had had this ingredient half a year ago . But it had been taken away by the Huo family .

It was unknown whether or not the Huo family still had any left, but Long Chen wanted to try it .

“Fine, I’ll get someone to bring it immediately . ” Huo Wufang took out a badge and whispered a few things to one of his subordinates . That person immediately rushed off .

“f.u.c.k, the Huo family really is intolerable! Last time, they took all ten strands of the Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Gra.s.s with the excuse that another Pill Tower urgently needed it . But it was all a lie! Not only do they bribe others with pills, but they even pull tricks with medicinal ingredients! If it wasn’t for Long San, we still wouldn’t know we had been deceived!” raged Chai Liehuo .

He suddenly recalled that the Huo family would often find excuses to take ingredients from the storagehouse . The Chai family was only in charge of keeping track, and everything always had to be accounted for . But he hadn’t expected the Huo family would actually dare do something like this .

Now Long Chen had exposed them . These fellows had definitely colluded with the ones in charge of accounting, or they wouldn’t dare to be so obviously corrupt .

“Long San, why would you want a Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Gra.s.s? Although it’s precious, Pill Valley will send us a bit to make up for what we used . Why didn’t you ask for something else? Their Huo family has the money,” said Chai Liehuo .

He had no idea that this Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Gra.s.s was more precious than anything else to Long Chen . He wouldn’t exchange it for any other treasure .

“I just made something up . I figured that if it wasn’t in the medicinal ingredient repository, they wouldn’t have it either . I was trying to make things hard on them . Who would have thought that they actually had it? And now that I’ve already said it, I can’t just change my demands, or that would make me lose face,” explained Long Chen perfectly .

“True, true . Tch, we really let this b.a.s.t.a.r.d off easy,” said Fang Chang hatefully . He was unhappy at not being able to give Huo Wufang a vicious blow this time .

Less than an incense stick’s worth of time later, the person Huo Wufang had sent had returned . There was a jade case in his hand with the width of a palm and two feet long .

Huo Wufang directly threw the case to Long Chen . “You have your demand . Now release him . ”

Long Chen didn’t need to open the case . With just his divine sense, he could see something similar to a sword lily, and there were seven drop-like fruits on it . This was definitely the Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Gra.s.s .

Even with his calm, having obtained this, his heart involuntarily pounded . His ultimate goal in coming to the Pill Tower had been achieved .

With this, he could condense the Enlightenment Palace Star . With four stars, who would be able to fight against him?

“Don’t worry, I’m not someone untrustworthy . ” Long Chen brought the Heavenly Star Dragon Saliva Gra.s.s into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce and then tossed the Celestial out .

The Corrupt experts hastily went to receive him, and they gave him a healing pill .

“AH!” As soon as that person woke up, he let out a heaven-shaking roar and a terrifying pressure erupted .

“Senior apprentice-brother Yaoqi, calm down! Now isn’t the time to fight . ” One of the Corrupt experts hastily held him back .

“Long San! Just wait, I will sooner or later tear your corpse into ten thousand pieces!” The Celestial pointed at Long Chen, his eyes almost spitting flames .

“If you have good stuff next time as well, then come and find me at any time!” Long Chen waved the empty case out of the window amicably .

Huo Wufang’s expression sank . This time, his plan had been ruined . These people were his guests, and he couldn’t just remain unconcerned about them .

Once Huo Wufang and the others left, Long San, Fang Chang, and Chai Liehuo couldn’t help but laugh . Huo Wufang had wanted to give Long Chen a blow, but as a result, he had left with a vicious slap on his face . That had been all too satisfying .

After drinking for a while longer, lanterns had to be lit . Fang Chang pulled away Taohong . “Brother Long San, about that… hehe, I won’t be accompanying you . In a bit, someone will come to bring you to see your partner . Your big bro won’t disturb your fun, as I’m afraid I’ll regret it if I see it . Hehe, if I started to fight with you, that would damage our relations.h.i.+p .

“Having repeatedly refined pills, I have a stomach full of fire right now . For cultivation, for the great cause of alchemy, for upholding the inheritance of the Pill Tower, I’m going to release some of my fire now . ”

After some righteous words, Fang Chang pulled away Taohong . As for Chai Liehuo, he just directly pulled away the girl whose name was something fickle .

“Tch, screw Chai Liehuo, d.a.m.n Fang Chang . What an appropriate phrase,” Long Chen cursed inside .

The woman accompanying Long Chen left, and then two prime maidens came to invite Long Chen to another room . He could only follow them .

Although he had no intention of doing this, it wasn’t that he looked down on them . Long Chen had never been against this kind of thing anyway .

After all, gambling houses and brothels were the oldest businesses since mankind existed . The former embodied humanity’s greed, and the latter embodied humanity’s l.u.s.t .
