Chapter 1103

This was Long Chen’s third trip to the Ten Thousand Pill Hall . The one attending him was still that maiden . She was extremely polite, but she always maintained a certain distance from him .

“I came to buy some Earth Flames,” said Long Chen .

“We have a total of seven Earth Flame seeds here, they are…” She gave a quick introduction of their wares .

Earth Flame seeds referred to Earth Flames whose consciousnesses were erased, leaving behind only their core energy . Other people could control and raise them .

“Are there no Earth Flame Beasts?” asked Long Chen .

Although Earth Flame seeds were decent, they weren’t what Long Chen needed . He wanted Earth Flame Beasts that Huo Long could directly devour . That way its power would increase faster .

If he used Earth Flame seeds, it would require a long time to raise them, and he didn’t want to wait .

“We had some before, but now we don’t,” she said with a strange expression .

What was that supposed to mean? Looking at her odd expression, he suddenly asked, “It couldn’t be that the Dao Sect only had those two Earth Flame Beasts?”

Long Chen’s Huo Long had devoured four Earth Flame Beasts, and they had all come from Que Xinyan . Devouring those Earth Flame Beasts had allowed Huo Long’s power to skyrocket . Now that Long Chen had money, he wanted some more .

“Yes . Normally, Earth Flame Beasts aren’t very useful, because not just anyone has the ability to subdue them . Those two Earth Flame Beasts were imprisoned by the Xuantian Dao Sect for a long time . For normal flame cultivators, Earth Flame seeds are better,” she said .

Long Chen thought about it and understood . Subduing an Earth Flame beast was very difficult, and the danger of a backlash was extremely high . Even if someone was willing to take the risk, they might not have the qualifications .

On the other hand, Earth Flame seeds were most suitable for disciples . Although it took longer to raise one, it was safe, and controlling it would be easier .

“Then how many points do the Earth Flame seeds cost?” asked Long Chen .

“They cost more than the Earth Flame Beasts, and they cost more the greater their ranking . The cheapest one is fifteen million points, while the most expensive one is eighty million points,” she said .

Long Chen swore . That was even more expensive than a King item . But then thinking about it, the wealth an alchemist could make after they subdued an Earth Flame far surpa.s.sed the investment . It could just barely count as reasonable .

“Which one do you want?” she asked .

“All of them,” said Long Chen .

In any case, there was no way to bargain over the price, so he couldn’t be bothered to waste the time . For the moment, he had plenty of points, so he decided to just directly buy them all .

Although those seeds weren’t very useful, he could raise them like raising pigs . Once they were nice and fat, he could feed them to Huo Long .

“Alright, then I’ll…” The maiden immediately ordered someone to go get them .

“Wait a moment . ” Suddenly, an Elder walked in . That person was the same one who had tried to stop him from buying the Iron Spruce Oaks, the Elder from the Alchemy Pavilion whose head Long Chen had almost lopped off .

The Ten Thousand Pill Hall was the Alchemy Pavilion’s business, and so it was naturally run by them . They had the authority to modify what medicines or items they sold .

“Old thing, is your neck itchy?” Long Chen glared at him . He had guessed this matter would once more cause some waves .

“How arrogant, you dare to be rude to an Elder?” he raged .

“Do you think threatening me will work? I dared to cut off your head once, so what would I not dare to do? The Xuantian Dao Sect really has been too peaceful for idiots like you to appear . If you were on the battlefield, vermin like you wouldn’t be able to survive even a single day . If you have something to say, say it, but if you give me some bulls.h.i.+t excuse like someone else reserved them, I won’t mind slapping your face rotten!” In front of that maiden’s stunned gaze, Long Chen gently patted the Elder’s face .

An icy killing intent appeared in Long Chen’s eyes toward the end, one that made the Elder immediately s.h.i.+ver . It was like a death G.o.d had suddenly appeared before him, and he was frozen in place .

He felt like a blade of death was already pressed against his shoulder . If he moved, his head would immediately fly . So even though Long Chen touched his face, he didn’t dare to move .

This Elder had relied on alchemy since childhood and had never gone onto the battlefield . As soon as Long Chen released his killing intent, he couldn’t bear it .

“What… what do you think you’re doing?! I’m… I’m warning you! Don’t do anything crazy!” he cried, his voice shuddering .

“It’s not what I’m doing, but what you’re doing,” said Long Chen .
