DBWG Chapter 98 (2/2)

Seeing these two Spirit Recovery Fruits, Lingxi’s eyes glistened, but Long Chen looked unhappy.

“Long Chen, my boy, here are the Spirit Recovery Fruits you wanted.”

The Spirit Jades in Long Chen’s cosmos pouch were hardly enough to pay for two Spirit Recovery Fruits, and he could only sigh in regret, “Manager Zhao, with my finances right now, I can only buy a single Soul Diffusion Fruit, and definitely not two Spirit Recovery Fruits.”

Seeing Long Chen so pitifully poor, Ao Xue at the side peeked at him in contempt. She had originally been a little afraid of him after hearing that he had killed an expert who was at the Initial Mastery stage of the Human Dan Realm, only to find out it was just an unfounded rumour.

“This stinking little kid only entered the Human Dan Realm. What’s there to be proud of? In just a few days, I’ll be able to enter the Human Dan Realm too. When that happens, let’s see whether you or I will be stronger!”

Manager Zhao’s high regard of Long Chen made Ao Xue feel quite jealous.

Upon seeing the suffering look on Long Chen’s face, Manager Zhao burst out in laughter, “Didn’t I say this before? We’ve met twice already, so we can be considered friends. How about this, you can buy one from me, and I’ll give you the other one for free?”

Manager Zhao only admired Long Chen talents, and he was giving Long Chen way too many benefits.

Long Chen was well aware that it was impossible for him to leave the Lingwu Family as of yet, so he contemplated rejecting Manager Zhao’s offer.

Seeing Long Chen still hesitating, Manager Zhao’s eyes twinkled and he stared straight at Long Chen, “Let’s do this instead. If you do something for me, I’ll gift you these Spirit Recovery Fruits, and this won’t be counted as a favour from me to you. How about it?”

“What can I do for you, Manager Zhao?”

While saying this, Zhao Tianfang’s expression was serious. Long Chen guessed that this was his real intentions for inviting him here. If not, he wouldn’t go to the trouble of getting Ao Xue to guide him here.

Zhao Tianfang gave a slight smile and instructed Ao Xue, who was at the side, to leave the room. After which, he took out a cosmos pouch and retrieved a crystal that was about the size of an infant’s fist.

Long Chen stared and found that this crystal was completely blue. It was a rhombus with two sides that were impossibly sharp, and on the surface of this blue crystal, there were even traces of lightning flickering. Blue flames were also emitted from this crystal.

“Thunder Flame Crystal?”

Within the Lingxi Sword, Lingxi’s excited voice could be heard.

Long Chen was now physically very close to Manager Zhao, and after hearing Lingxi shout ‘Thunder Flame Crystal’, he did not dare say much. However, he could tell that this crystal was definitely something good.

“Do you know what this?” Manager Zhao questioned.

Long Chen shook his head, “No.”

“This item is called… the Thunder Flame Crystal.”

He spun the Thunder Flame Crystal in his palm, eyes fixed on it. His next words were full of emotion as he spoke, “This Thunder Flame Crystal is a precious treasure of the heavens and the earth. It has no grade, and as long as one merges one’s body with it, our body will then have the power to control thunder and fire. This power is used to temper the body and is considerably effective. Once you fuse with over ten Thunder Flame Crystals, you will then possess the Thunder Flame Physique!”

Long Chen looked at the Thunder Flame Crystal in shock, “I just have to fuse with it? Don’t I need to cultivate at all?”

Didn’t this mean this item was even more convenient than Origin Reversion, which he had recently obtained?

The Const.i.tution battle technique, Origin Reversion, had been refined only after a whole day and night.

“Of course not,” Manager Zhao shook his head. “The number of Thunder Flame Crystals you can fuse with depends on your talent and body. As long as you can fuse with over ten crystals, you will obtain the Thunder Flame Physique. Those who have the added bonus of power using thunder and flames are then called Thunder Flame Cultivators!”

Thunder Flame Cultivator?

That didn’t sound half bad.

Only now did Long Chen come to the realisation that the world he knew was much too small. He had just obtained the Origin Reverting Fruit, and now there was this Thunder Flame Crystal, which were all incredible items.

Zhao Tianfang had mentioned that he needed Long Chen to do something, and yet had taken out this Thunder Flame Crystal. What was it for?

Long Chen suspiciously asked, “Manager Zhao, what does this Thunder Flame Crystal have to do with me?”

Now that they were back to the main question, Manager Zhao laughed and looked closely at Long Chen. “To be honest, I really think highly of you. I would like to test your talent and have you try and see how many Thunder Flame Crystals you can fuse into your body!”

Long Chen suddenly felt like he had struck gold, disbelief apparent on his face.

This Manager Zhao had first said that he wanted Long Chen to do something for him. Long Chen had wondered how difficult it could be, but it turned out to be a huge opportunity for him.

Manager Zhao merely wanted to rope Long Chen into Daybreak Merchants Union, and yet had repeatedly given Long Chen immense benefits. Long Chen hesitated and wondered if he should accept it, taking into account the restraints that would be put on him if he agreed. Upon seeing him hesitating, Manager Zhao explained seriously, “Long Chen, don’t think it’ll be an easy task to fuse with the Thunder Flame Crystal. It has a violent force that will cause one’s body to explode if one cannot take it. If your body can’t withstand even one Thunder Flame Crystal, there is a high possibility of you dying. This is why it won’t be an easy task for you to obtain these two Spirit Recovery Fruits. Think this through carefully.”

While Long Chen was still pondering, Lingxi suddenly exclaimed, “Quick, say yes.”

Lingxi was experienced and was extremely clear about Long Chen’s condition. Hence, upon hearing her say this, Long Chen hesitated no longer and nodded resolutely, “One can only find treasures in dangerous places. Since Manager Zhao thinks so highly of me, I definitely have to try this Thunder Flame Crystal no matter what!”
