Chapter 965

“Xiaoqian!”

Although she wore a white veil, that pair of beautiful eyes could steal a person’s soul . With that lithe figure that seemed to have come out of a painting, who else could it be but Yue Xiaoqian? Long Chen was delighted and surprised .

“Long Chen, this is aunt Yu . ” Yue Xiaoqian was also delighted to see Long Chen . But she first politely introduced a woman beside her .

This woman appeared to be in her late twenties . Tall and with a high bun, she wore majestic robes that gave her an indescribable grace .

“Junior Long Chen greets aunt Yu . ” Long Chen hastily bowed . It seemed this was Yue Xiaoqian’s family elder, so he had to be careful .

“You are Long Chen? As expected, you have some skills . No wonder my family’s sacred daughter would be seduced…” Aunt Yu laughed without the slightest arrogance, seeming extremely satisfied with Long Chen .

“Aunt Yu, you…” Yue Xiaoqian turned red, clearly not having expected her to be so direct .

“Hehe, aunt Yu overpraises me . Junior… I dare not accept such praise . ” In Long Chen’s excitement, he almost called himself junior brother . That would be too embarra.s.sing .

Aunt Yu said, “There’s no need to be embarra.s.sed . I’m not going to b.u.t.t into the affairs of youngsters . Long Chen, Yue Xiaoqian praised you into the heavens within the clan . I’m just here to help her seal the deal . ”

“Aunt Yu, if you don’t stop, I’ll…!” Yue Xiaoqian’s face was too thin compared to Long Chen . She couldn’t bear it .

“Alright, fine . Then let’s get to the point . ” Aunt Yu stopped teasing Yue Xiaoqian . She waved her hand, and Long Chen felt heaven and earth twist . An unknown energy separated them from the rest of the world .

Long Chen was shocked . Just what level of expert was this aunt Yu? How could she be so terrifying? Just what energy was this?

It wasn’t teleportation . They seemed to be within the chaotic flow of s.p.a.ce, and he was unable to see anything outside . It was just the three of them within this strange s.p.a.ce .

“Long Chen, I represent the original devil race in expressing our sincere thanks . ” Aunt Yu bowed deeply toward him .

Long Chen hastily bowed back, saying, “Aunt Yu, I can’t accept such a thing . ”

“You can . Our original devil race owes you far too much . To tell you the truth, the original devil race has currently been forced to the brink of death . If there still wasn’t a change, we really might have ended up exterminated,” sighed aunt Yu .

Long chen shook his head . “The only reason I did what I did was for myself . Our cooperation is mutually beneficial, so there’s no debt to owe . ”

Aunt Yu smiled slightly . “Xiaoqian has told me about your matters . I came over this time to see if you needed any help with anything . If you have any troubles you can’t resolve, I can help you . ”

Long Chen’s heart shook . He knew she meant that if he had any opponents he couldn’t handle, she could help him .

“I don’t have any right now, but I definitely will in the future . I’m very confident in my ability to cause trouble . ” Long Chen patted his chest confidently . “Did you bring the list?”

“We did, but… there’s a lot on it,” said Yue Xiaoqian awkwardly .

The Skysc.r.a.ping World’s resources were limited, and they were lacking a great deal . Although this list only contained the things they urgently needed, there were hundreds of them on it . That made Yue Xiaoqian feel uneasy .

Long Chen looked over the list and saw the majority of them were medicinal pills . He couldn’t help but ask, “The original devil race doesn’t have any medicinal pills?”

“Yes . That’s why medicinal pills are the things we need urgently . Many people have been stuck at bottlenecks for too long without being able to break through . There are also some who ended up with problems while advancing and left flaws on their foundations . If those flaws aren’t repaired, it will gravely affect their future advancements,” said Yue Xiaoqian worriedly . This matter was incredibly important to the original devil race .

Medicinal pills in general were extremely important to cultivators . Otherwise, Pill Valley wouldn’t possess such a high position . The entire cultivation world depended on them .

“Long Chen, although it’s a bit much…” Yue Xiaoqian sobbed . Only once she had gone back to get this list did she learn a few secrets .

The original devil race had too many people, and because they didn’t have medicinal pills to a.s.sist them, problems would occasionally occur in people’s cultivation . Those people would be tormented by pain all day, and some even became bedeviled and needed to be sealed .

She hadn’t known about that last time, but when she brought back quite a few medicinal pills, the entire original devil race had celebrated . Only then had she known how much pain the original devil race had been in .

“Leave it to me . Medicinal pills aren’t a problem for me,” said Long Chen .

“Thank you . ” Yue Xiaoqian couldn't help being surprised by how confident he was . Hearing his promise, she was relieved . Right now, she understood what kind of person Long Chen was . He never promised anything he wasn’t a.s.sured of .

“However, the quant.i.ty is too great . I’ll need some time,” said Long Chen .

“No problem, no problem . We’ll just wait,” said Yue Xiaoqian hastily .

Long Chen pondered it for a moment . “How about this? Let’s first handle the urgent cases . Right now, the Xuantian Dao Sect has had a falling out with Pill Valley, so buying medicinal pills from them would be difficult . But I have some back channels . ”

Yue Xiaoqian and aunt Yu’s expressions changed slightly upon hearing that the Xuantian Dao Sect had had a falling out with Pill Valley . They both knew medicinal pills were provided by Pill Valley .

“What back channels?” asked Yue Xiaoqian .

“I’ll go get some healing medicinal pills from the Huayun Sect and buy a few more from other sects . Those pills will be for those with the worst problems . Then I’ll cooperate with the Huayun Sect . I’ll give them pill formulas and have them refine a huge amount of healing pills . Once all your people are better, they can then refine other pills for you, such as those for cultivation . The Eastern Wasteland is basically dominated by the Xuantian Dao Sect now . The Corrupt path is heavily injured, and the ancient races don’t dare to make a move .

“During this time, you can establish a secret base . On the surface, you’ll be engaging in some minor business, but in reality, I’ll have the Xuantian Dao Sect and Huayun Sect open back channels for you . With the two of them supporting you, no one will dare to provoke you . It would be best if your business involves rare things that few others are involved in . The fewer your customers, the better . It would also be best if your business is the kind that only reveals itself every few years . You understand what I’m saying, right?” said Long Chen .

“I understand . ” Aunt Yu nodded . Before coming, she and Yue Xiaoqian had been a bit nervous, as this matter involved the future of the entire original devil race . But this quick a.n.a.lysis of Long Chen’s easily resolved the problems that had been crus.h.i.+ng down upon her like a mountain .

They were both delighted . Furthermore, Long Chen talked like they were one family, making them feel even closer .

“We shouldn’t delay things . Let’s split up . I’ll go notify the Huayun Sect, and on the way, I’ll use the sect master’s name to gather medicinal pills . Aunt Yu, you go and find a suitable city . Buy a plot of land and establish a stronghold . Also have a few of your race’s clever people come to manage it . If you don’t have anything to do, you should also temporarily oversee it just to be safe,” said Long Chen .

Aunt Yu was surprised by how completely Long Chen handled things . She couldn’t help but feel a kind of admiration . With him present, she no longer had to worry about anything .

“I’ll accompany Long Chen here . Aunt Yu, you can go first,” said Yue Xiaoqian . But looking at aunt Yu’s teasing smile, she blushed . “I’m just trying to support Long Chen . ”

Even once aunt Yu left, Yue Xiaoqian continued blus.h.i.+ng . Long Chen took a deep breath and brought her into the mountain cave . It was time to face what he had to face .

“This must be junior sister Xiaoqian, right? Long Chen always talks about you . ” When he returned to the cave, he saw that Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were already awake and guarding the entrance for everyone else . Meng Qi was the first to speak .

“I… I’m Xiaoqian . Greetings, big sisters,” said Yue Xiaoqian nervously . She hastily bowed toward the two of them .

“Good sister . Let’s sit and talk . Long Chen, there’s nothing here for you, so you can scram . Don’t eavesdrop on us sisters . ” Tang Wan-er glared at Long Chen .

Being glared at by Tang Wan-er, Long Chen’s worried heart instantly relaxed . He felt incredibly grateful to Meng Qi . He knew that Meng Qi had long since explained things to Tang Wan-er . Tang Wan-er was naturally a jealous person, but as long as she didn’t explode at the start, it meant things were going very smoothly . Thinking of when they could all finally be together, his expression became absent-minded .

“Wipe away your saliva and go . We sisters have important things to discuss,” said Meng Qi . She understood Long Chen far too well, and she pushed him off .

Long Chen was incredibly excited . A weight that had been resting on him was finally lifted, and he felt full of energy . He gathered all the workers’ sect leaders and gave them a list of medicinal pills he urgently needed .

Seeing Long Chen converse with them, those sect leaders were incredibly excited . They all ordered disciples to go back to their sects and bring all their stores of those medicinal pills .

Their enthusiasm was at a level that shocked Long Chen, and their efficiency made him speechless . On the very next day, countless pills appeared in front of him .

Long Chen directly gave them three times the money that Pill Valley would sell them at . Although quite a few said that they didn’t want his money, Long Chen still gave it to them . He didn’t like owing favors .

Half a day later, aunt Yu returned here . She was also extremely efficient . The stronghold was already established and only required her to send some people to run it .

When Long Chen gave her a huge pile of medicinal pills, she was indescribably grateful . She directly left for the Skysc.r.a.ping World . Saving her people was the most pressing thing .

After sending off aunt Yu, Long Chen once more had a meeting with Zheng Wenlong . When he mentioned he wanted to cooperate in terms of alchemy, Zheng Wenlong became ecstatic . The profit from medicinal pills was the greatest in this world .

Long Chen gave Zheng Wenlong over ten medicinal pill formulas in one go . They were all pills that didn’t exist in the outside world . Pill Valley had never sold them, and their medicinal effect was extremely great . Zheng Wenlong almost fainted from joy .

Last time he had cooperated with Long Chen like this, he had earned a hefty sum . Even now, money was flowing into his pockets .

Armed with these new medicinal pills, Zheng Wenlong promised to properly use them and give a fierce slap to Pill Valley’s face .
